He wrapped his arms around her when he returned to bed and she curled into him, thoroughly satisfied. “You really know how to show a woman a good time,” she said sleepily against his neck. He laughed, feeling incredibly smug by her words.
He turned his head slightly to give her a quick kiss. “Rest up, darling. I still have two more condoms,” he purred quietly.
Pressed up against her soft curves, Alex didn’t see her blush. Rather, he felt it.
Chapter Six
Olivia woke when she felt movement beside her. At first, she panicked, but then memories from last night hit her hard before she fully came awake. The delicious ache of her muscles confirmed her incredible night of passion with Alex.
They had achieved his goal of using all three condoms. After dozing in his arms for a half hour, Olivia had been awakened by his fingers lightly trailing over her sex. She had been ready almost immediately. The next time he woke her had been a couple hours later, but it ended in exactly the same way. With Alex coming inside her as she clenched tightly around him.
Alex shifted into a sitting position on the edge of her bed, his back to her. Her sheets fell away to reveal the strong lines of his naked form. Beautiful, she thought, her mind awakening more by the second. She recalled that amazing moment the previous night when he stood fully bared to her. Unlike her, he hadn’t shown a hint of self-consciousness. And with good reason.
She remembered thinking, “Damn, he’s hot.” The dim lighting in her bedroom had done nothing to hide the fact that this man was in some serious shape. Her eyes could find no ounce of fat on his trim body. He was pure muscle. He wasn’t bulky like body builders tended to be, but she could tell he was diligent at the gym…or wherever he achieved those perfectly sculpted and scrumcious looking muscles.
For a brief moment, she had felt insecurity creeping up on her. But she had squashed it down before it could make her doubt herself. All she had to do was look in Alex’s blazing eyes as he gazed down at her stroking that wonderful cock of his. After that realization, she had forgotten all her worries and truly enjoyed the moment. And all the moments that came afterward…
Olivia glanced at the window sleepily, noticing it was still dark outside. A quick look at her bedside table confirmed that it was still the early hours of morning. 5:15.
“Alex,” she murmured, turning on her side to face him fully. She brought her arm under her head to act as a makeshift pillow.
Alex started and turned, hearing her shift. Even in the dark room, she could see the way his eyes softened. And it completely melted her insides. He twisted his body to hover over hers and murmured lowly, “I’m sorry, darling. I didn’t mean to wake you.”
She technically didn’t have to be up for another hour or so, but she smiled regardless. “I’m glad you did. I think I forgot to set my alarm.”
The intimacy of the moment suddenly struck her. She didn’t want to admit just how good he looked in the mornings…or how fluttery she felt when she saw him draped in her sheets. But the feelings were there regardless.
Olivia wondered if this was normal in this kind of situation. She felt so at ease with him with no post-sex awkwardness she thought she might have. This moment felt so…right.
Alex leaned down to nibble on her ear gently. And—dear Lord, help her—she actually giggled. She didn’t see his grin, but she definitely felt it. “Cute. Can I make you do it again?” he asked, whispering into her ear, making her shiver deliciously.
She pushed at his shoulder, smiling even though she was sure her face was red. “Don’t embarrass me even more.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t dream of it.” He leaned down to kiss her, paying no mind to her morning breath despite her initial hesitance. They kissed for a few more moments, long enough for Olivia’s brain to turn mushy and Alex’s cock to harden against her leg. Then Alex pulled away, groaning as though in pain. “I have to go, darling. And you’re making it very hard to leave.”
“So early?” she whispered, wanting to pull him down fully on top of her and resume what they were doing a few seconds earlier.
“I have a presentation this morning that I need to prepare for. I’m going to head to work early.”
“Oh, alright, Mr. Sales Director,” she teased softly.
“Director of Sales,” he smirked smugly, leaning down to kiss her again. She smiled slowly, feeling the grin transform her features. He pulled back to gaze down at her beneath him, his eyes warm.
It suddenly occurred to her that she and Miles had never really done this. This playful, effortless pillow talk. Miles had been a wham, bam, thank you ma’am type of guy. And they had had completely opposite schedules, which was why Olivia had never fully moved in with him even after six years. Miles had reasoned that he would get in late most nights from the office and he didn’t want to wake her, since she woke around six in the morning. It was a convenient excuse to have when he had been cheating on her, after all.
