LOGIN“We shouldn’t be doing this,” Alex suddenly said.
Alicia rolled her eyes.
“You are going to start having second thoughts when we’ve already reached this stage?”
“I didn’t think it would get this far and this is not the time for this. My warehouse…”
"Shhh!" she said, placing her finger on his lips to silence him.
She would not have him thinking about the present tensions and problems.
So she kissed him again.
He made an effort to fight off her kiss, but he eventually gave in. As she lay on the bed, he hunched over her and planted a deeper kiss on her neck and lips.
They kissed more deeply as his hand quickly moved to her waist and pulled her towards his body.
As their tongues entwined and played games in each other’s mouths, Alicia relished the feeling that shot through her veins.
She could feel the slow dampness between her thighs and the tingling in her lower body.
She touched his lap and shifted to the erect rod between his legs. She reached to grab it, but he held her hand, stopping her.
“Don’t. You’ll regret it.”
“I won’t.”
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
But Alicia laughed, fluttering her eyes seductively as she raised her leg to brush against his hard crotch.
“Hmmm,” he moaned, “Alicia.”
She did it again, this time setting her foot atop it and pressing it down to excite him more.
He moaned, his face flushing red as he tried to keep his senses. But Alicia was relentless and kept teasing him.
He caught her leg.
“Stop it.”
She giggled, taking her leg off his hand and then spreading her legs apart to give him her beautiful view.
Alex stared between her legs, his breath quickening as he felt desire and crazy attraction consume him. He wanted her so bad.
“Don’t hold back,” she urged.
He came a little closer, and she immediately wrapped her hands around his shoulders, drawing him to her chest and kissing his neck.
He smelt good, this warm, raw masculine smell that she loved.
She opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, licking his ear.
“Argh!” She exclaimed as Alex pushed her down.
She felt his fingers on her thigh, slowly moving upwards. She smiled in satisfaction. His fingers were between her legs, preparing her.
She moaned.
He pressed down harder, making her moan loudly. He hit her G-spot making her tremble.
He laughed softly when she moaned.
"I didn't know you were that sensitive," he teased.
He soon stopped and took his fingers out. His hands grabbed her thighs pushing himself forward and making her thighs wrap around his waist.
His hardness looked so hard that it was threatening to tear his trousers. Alicia giggled.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" she asked, her eyes on it.
He unzipped his trousers.
He took off his trousers, and she gasped.
“W—what? Why are you so big?”
“Warned you before didn't I? Don’t you chicken out now,” he said.
“Who said I was?” She leaned towards him, his big girth standing upright, and yanked the pants off her waist, revealing her wet and ready self.
He then pushed himself and entered her.
She grunted.
She was right. He was huge. He stretched her and it felt both painful and good.
She felt his warm strong hand on her face the next moment.
“Are you okay? Should I continue?”
“You’re too big! Why are you so big?! Urgh!”
“Should I take it out? Is it too painful?”
Alicia wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, blushing.
“Don’t you dare take it out.”
He smirked.
“Gladly.”
He started to move.
The first stroke was gentle, a teaser of what was to come. And then he gradually increased the pace and started going faster and faster and harder!
Alicia screamed and moaned as he fucked her, her hands gripping his bed sheets as her head exploded withso much pleasure.
“Tell me to stop if it’s too much! Urgh! You’re tight!” he said.
“No! Go faster! Faster! Harder please!”
She wrapped her hands around his shoulders, enabling him to enter deeper into her.
His following thrusts were faster and rougher. But she loved it, her eyes rolling to the back of her head from the crazy pleasure. She moaned loudly.
"Do you like it?" he asked in between thrusts.
"Yes! Yes!"
"Do you like it, Alicia?" he said softly, his voice like music in her ears.
“Yes! Don’t stop! Urgh!”
They fucked all night, the sheets a witness to the immense passion. When they stopped, they went iron again, doing so many rounds she lost count of them.
They both reached the peak of pleasure and orgasm, their bodies wrapped lovingly around each other.
After that, they rested in each other's arms, panting heavily, giggling, trying to recover from the unexplainable pleasure they had just experienced.
………
Later that night Alicia woke up. Alex was still fast asleep.
She watched his sleeping face, smiling. He was so handsome.
When he woke up, he smiled at her.
“Good morning love.”
She knocked his nose playfully.
“Hey!”
“Who are you calling love? When you fucked me so mercilessly last night?”
He laughed and sat up, kissing her.
“But you enjoyed it right?”
“Yes I did,” she admitted.
They were silent for a while and then he said;
“Thank you, Alicia, for yesterday. For coming to see me. For being here.”
“It’s okay.”
“No it’s not. Before today no one ever came to look for me when I had my episodes. But you did. And I really appreciate it.”
She smiled in response. Then Alex took her and stared into his eyes.
“Alicia? Will you be my girlfriend?”
She blushed. She couldn’t believe the man she had taken as her enemy was asking that now. And why she herself was going ahead to say;
“Yes, I will be your girlfriend.”
He smiled and hugged her. She hugged him back. And that was the beginning of their sizzling romance.
....
After that day, Alex and Alicia started dating. They texted and called each other regularly, went out on dates, and had wild sex.
They could barely keep themselves off each other. Their relationship was passionate and tense. It felt like they were made for each other.
They had sex in hotels, in their homes, and once in their office.
Soon rumors started to spread around their relationship but they did not care. Alicia and Alex had never felt this happy before.
Alicia believed she had found the love of her life. She loved him and he loved her. That was all that mattered right?
Oh how wrong she was.
………
“I don’t want children,” The chilling words of Alex sank into her and broke her in ways she never knew were possible.
She clasped her hands tightly together, fingers biting her nails as she tried to hide her feelings and her trembling.
She looked out of the window, tears pricking her eyes.
It was over. It was all over.
The gunshot cracked through the hallway like lightning.Alicia screamed.Alex hit the ground hard, wrapping himself around Aiden just as glass exploded across the floor behind them.“MOVE!” Reyes shouted.Another shot slammed into the wall inches above Zara’s head. She dragged Aiden down behind the kitchen island while Alex rolled to his knees, already searching for the shooter through the shattered window.“Alex!” Alicia grabbed his arm frantically. “Are you hit?”He looked down quickly. Blood streaked across his sleeve.Her heart stopped.But Alex shook his head immediately. “Not mine.”Mercer was on the floor near the back door, clutching his shoulder where the bullet had torn through him. His perfect gray suit bloomed red instantly.“Damn it,” he hissed.Reyes aimed toward the window again. “Second floor tree line! Professional shooter!”Outside, more engines roared up the driveway.Too many.Way too many.Alicia crouched beside Aiden, hands shaking violently now. “Baby, look at m
Silence.Total. Absolute silence.Even the alarms seemed farther away suddenly.Alicia stared at Mercer like she’d misheard him. “What did you just say?”Mercer straightened his suit slowly after Alex released him just enough to breathe. His expression remained calm, but there was satisfaction underneath it now. He’d landed the hit he wanted.Reyes recovered first. “Careful,” she warned him. “You’re already one bad sentence away from leaving here in a body bag.”Mercer ignored her completely. His eyes stayed on Alicia.“Robert never told you?” he asked softly. “Interesting.”Alicia’s pulse roared in her ears. “You’re lying.”“No,” Mercer replied. “Kessler lied. Robert manipulated. But me? I’m practical.” He adjusted his cufflinks. “Aiden was never the only surviving heir.”Alex’s voice was deadly quiet. “Explain. Now.”Mercer looked almost amused by the command. “Twenty years ago, after the Maris Stella fire, the Dickson family cleaned up loose ends very carefully. Most records disapp
Everything happened at once.Aiden crying.The lights dying.Reyes shouting, “DOWN!”Alex moved first.He grabbed Alicia and Aiden both, pulling them toward the kitchen island just as another crash exploded from the front of the house. Wood splintered. Heavy footsteps thundered inside.“Back entrance,” Reyes ordered, gun already drawn. “Move now!”Zara grabbed Aiden’s backpack from the chair with shaking hands. “Come on, baby, come on.”Aiden clung to Alicia so tightly she could barely breathe.“Mama, what’s happening?”“It’s okay,” she lied immediately. “I’ve got you.”Another loud bang echoed through the hallway.Not gunfire.A battering ram.Alex looked toward the sound, every muscle tense. “How many?”Reyes peeked around the counter briefly. “At least six.”“Police?” Zara asked hopefully.Reyes’s expression answered for her. “No badges.”A voice suddenly boomed through the dark house. Calm. Male. Amplified.“Ms. Dickson. Mr. George. We only want the drive.”Alex swore under his br
Alicia gripped the phone tighter. “Keith?”Alex was beside her instantly, his expression sharpening the second he heard the name. Reyes reached for the recorder in her jacket on instinct.Keith’s voice stayed calm. Too calm.“You need to leave the house.”Alicia frowned. “What are you talking about?”“I’m talking about the people connected to the files,” Keith said. “The judges, the banks, the contractors. Robert didn’t build that network alone. And now someone knows you have proof.”Reyes mouthed, Keep her talking.Alicia swallowed. “Where are you?”“Not safe enough to tell you.”Alex stepped closer to the phone. “Keith, if you know something, you need to come in. Right now.”There was a pause on the line.Then Keith laughed softly, but there was no humor in it. “Mr. George, if I come in, I die.”The room went still.Aiden looked between them nervously. Zara quietly moved closer to him.Alicia lowered her voice. “Keith… what did you get involved in?”Another silence. Longer this time
The flash drive sat untouched for almost two days.Long enough for life to start feeling normal again.Which, Alicia realized, was exactly how trouble liked to arrive. Quietly. Patiently. Waiting until you finally exhaled.Thursday morning started with pancakes.Real pancakes this time. Burnt on one side because Alex got distracted kissing Alicia in the kitchen while Aiden pretended not to notice from the table.“Gross,” Aiden said dramatically, even as he grinned into his orange juice. “You guys are weird now.”Alex slid a plate in front of him. “Eat your pancakes.”“You burned them.”“Character building.”Alicia laughed for what felt like the first genuine time in months. The sound surprised even her.Alex looked at her like he was memorizing it.And for one dangerous second, everything felt easy.It ended at 11:17 a.m.Zara was in the study reviewing estate transfers when she walked into the kitchen holding something small between two fingers.“Why is Keith’s keychain still here?”
The kiss almost happened twice before it actually did.The first time, Alicia turned her head at the last second, overwhelmed by the sudden reality of what they were doing. Alex’s hand stayed against her cheek anyway, his forehead resting lightly against hers while both of them tried to breathe normally.The second time, Aiden called out sleepily from down the hall, “Mama?”They broke apart instantly.Alex laughed under his breath and stepped back. “Guess the universe has timing issues.”Alicia pressed a hand to her face, half embarrassed, half relieved. “I should check on him.”“Yeah,” Alex said softly. “You should.”But when she walked past him, his fingers brushed hers. Deliberate this time.And neither of them let go immediately.Aiden was sitting up in bed when Alicia entered his room, hair sticking up in every direction.“You okay, baby?” she asked gently.He nodded sleepily. “Bad dream.”Alicia climbed onto the bed beside him and smoothed the blankets over his legs. “Want to te
“Stop saying that.”“No.”“Alex…”“I’m not gonna stop. You can leave. You can run back to Paris. You can keep Aiden from me. But I won’t give up.”“You can’t fix this.”“Watch me.”Keith came back. Looked between them. “We good here?”“Fine,” Alicia said. “I was just leaving.”“Good talk,” Keith sa
“No. Wait. I’m not… I’m not trying to fight.” He leaned forward. “I just want to meet him. Properly. Not in some parking lot or park. Just… meet my son.”“No.”“Why not?”“Because he’s five. He doesn’t need this drama.”“What drama? Me wanting to know him?”“You wanting to turn his whole life upsid
Week eight. Her father called.“I need to see you.”“I’m busy.”“It’s about the company. Your company.”That got her attention. “What about it?”“Not over the phone. Come to Texas.”“Dad…”“Next week. I mean it.”He hung up.Great. Just great.-----The flight to Texas was turbulent. Aiden threw up
“You can’t do that.”“Watch me.”“Alicia…”“I can leave this place and dissolve into the air. You won’t even know what continent I am. Try me.”She meant it. He could see it in her face.“What can I do?” His voice broke. “Just tell me. How do I fix this?”“You can’t.”“There has to be something.”“
