“You want to share your life with her?”
Corey paused, staring down at his cup. “Yeah, I do.”
“Then you’re close to falling in love.”
“Are you in love with Becca?”
“Without a doubt. I know her, and she’s not ready to accept me in her life just yet. I can wait for her.”
Corey couldn’t handle the thought of letting Alexa leave him for a summer at a time.
“It can’t be that much love. She leaves your ass every single year.”
“Alexa told you her darkest secret yet?” William asked.
“No.”
“Then I’ve got more with Becca than you’ve got with your woman.” William drank his coffee, making an appreciative noise afterward. “I know every little desire with Becca. She trusts me enough to satisfy her. Becca may leave for the summer, but I know she’s coming back to me.” William finished his coffee. “The rumors are running wild around the club about you and Alexa.”
“Tell them to all mind their fucking business.” Finishing his coffee, he gripped the edge of the counter, thinking about what William had told him. “What else did Becca say to you?”
William shrugged. “She’s pissed that I’ve let you get to her friend. She’s going to want to have a get together, drinks or something.”
“Great, invite her here. Alexa and I will show her she has nothing to be concerned about.”
“Sure.”
He talked with William for another hour before he saw him out. Once he was alone, he started to pace up and down his apartment, trying to put his world back into focus.
She doesn’t trust you.
Alexa wouldn’t tell him her darkest fantasies.
“I want to go down to the dungeon and see what is going on there.”
Her fantasy clearly revolved around the dungeon, and it was dark, but what could it possibly be?
Shaking his head, there was no way to clear his mind by walking backward and forward in his apartment.
Grabbing his keys, within minutes he was down to the underground parking facility, and driving toward the library.
Alexa was due to finish within an hour, which gave him more than enough time to grab some general groceries, and take her back to his apartment.
Why do you care?
It’s just fantasies.
Everyone is allowed to have them, and not share them.
Becca shares hers with William.
An hour later he was no closer to understanding his concern as he sat waiting for Alexa to leave the library. He gave Laura a wave, and waited as his woman made her way toward him.
“Hey, bad boy,” she said, kissing his lips.
“Hey, yourself.” He cupped the back of her neck, tilting her head back, and deepening the kiss.
“That was some kiss.” She nibbled the corner of her lip, and he tugged it out of her mouth with his thumb.
“You don’t get to bite that. It’s mine.”
“What’s the matter, Corey?”
“Tell me your fantasy.”
She frowned, pulling back a little, and he tightened his arms around her.
“Why?”
“Why won’t you tell me?” he asked.
“I’ve known you for just over three weeks, and I’ve watched you with other women before then. I’m not ready to share something so private.”
Corey sighed. “You can share with me.”
“Look, I know we’re trying this relationship, or whatever the hell it is we’ve got going on, but that kind of stuff, it’s personal.”
“Baby, I’ve been balls deep inside your pussy, and I’ve prepared your ass to take my dick. How much more personal can you get?”
She ran her fingers through her hair, looking left and right. “Can we let this go?”
“I want you to tell me.”
“Then I will, when I’m ready, and when it works for us to actually do something like that. Give me time.” She gripped his jacket. “Why are you pushing this?”
“I don’t want you to hold anything back.”
Alexa smiled. “You’re not holding anything back?”
“No. You get what you see with me. I’m all yours, and I’m open for whatever you’ve got to give me.”
She licked her lips, looking nervous. “My fantasy, it’s, erm, it’s not normal, I don’t think. I’m not even ready to talk about it aloud.”
“Does it have to do with the dungeon at the club?”
“The darker fantasies?”
He nodded.
“Yes.”
Corey saw it was difficult for her to talk, so he pressed a finger against her lips. “I can wait.”
“Becca’s called me. She wants us to have dinner together.”
“Already arranged. William is coming round to my place. You’re going to stay with me and cook. We’ll handle her together.”
