Chapter 23 breaking the news to Alex

The aroma from the bag was tantalizing and while still reeling in her surprised element, her stomach chose to make a statement at that time. Damn those had better not be fries and chicken, when was the last time she had taken such food. She could already feel her mouth could already feel her mouthwatering as Alex sauntered into her house. Feeling herself fight a smile she walked behind him, and like a bolt, a question just hit her. Why was Alex still within the compound, he lived in the hotel and it was still some distance from her place.

So, as they settled into the couch for some food and music, she voiced her concern. “Umm… pardon me for asking this but why are you still around I thought you lived in the hotel.”

“Ha-ha nope It has been days since I moved out, currently, I live just next to your apartment and so I can even be your chauffer every day,” Alex said as he winked at her. That wink set her insides on fire and she could feel the embers of desire move from her palpitating heart, to her core. She fervently hoped that he did not notice how her blush had covered her face. She crisscrossed her legs as conversation flowed between them softly, the music a soft blur creating a harmonious background.

Him seating there, looking so good, his pearl-white teeth set against his beautiful lips, his white eyes enclosed by black long eyelashes. Everything about him captivated her, she felt her breath hitch. If she could only have just one taste of those lips, she saw his lips move in slow motion, his tongue flash out to wet his lips. She found herself swallowing saliva soundly, her lips suddenly dry. Subconsciously, she licked her lips, only to hear a sharp intake of breath. The next moment, her lips perfectly meshed with his.

She could not recall who had made the first move but damn she had wanted this. Entwining herself in his arms, she found herself seated on his lap. Her butt seated just above his crotch, which kept growing with every twist and turns. She sipped him, his lips his tongue, feeling delirious and drunk from his kisses. Her mind a constant blur of emotions, closing her eyes, she lost sense of everything else but the feel of him close to her. She felt his hand move to touch just below the hem of her blouse. Softly caressing the soft sensitive skin there. Everything felt exaggerated.

Her response to that touch, beyond expectation. Her nipples had hardened to form sharp points inside their confines in her bra. They tightened so hard that she could feel them pock at her bra. Her bra a coarse caress to them, arousing her even more. Suddenly she wanted him more than she had ever wanted anything. Kissing fervently, she started rocking on his erection, driven by passion and lust. His fingers groped and touched her body, every part feeling like a sensitive nerve ending. All the nerves traveling to pool at one point her core.

She did not know what had happened until she felt him shake her. “hey. hey … why are you crying baby.” Alex said as he moved his thumbs to wipe her tears. She had not realized when she had started crying or why she was crying she felt emotional and tired and horny in one part. Her cry at that point broke like a dam, tears flowing like spring jets. A handkerchief appeared before her and she was glad for that respite. She must be looking like a crazy person. What with her snorting and tears mingled with saliva and everything?

In the midst of all that, Alex had held her while putting her back softly. “I’m sorry grace. shhh, it's okay. You are going to be okay.” Somehow that statement seemed to have put her more on edge, and her crying emotions were now replaced by anger.

“What is going to be alright huh, there is nothing okay with me. My ex-boyfriend is a psycho you saw it. Right now, I am pregnant, my own parents did not want me, I feel drained. The only one I can turn to is my friend, Anna, you now, confuse me because of all this sexual attraction. At one point I want to jump your bones, then I’m scared because I need this job. Alex, I am pregnant. This is why even I can’t think of anything sexual at this point. I do not want to mess up again.

Yet I want to have sex with you so much. Is it okay if you just gave me some breathing space? I feel like my life has been one hell of a roller-coaster. I’m trying to adjust to everything right now and even though you have not blatantly asked me for sex, I see the way you look at me.”

Grace was surprised at herself after that long monologue. She did not know where all that had come from. Standing up Alex, raised his hands in surrender, walked to her, and just hugged her. “I’m sorry I’ve pushed you too hard, I did not know that you were pregnant. I feel that I might have come on too strong for you, and pushing you like that after what saw with your ex, I was really a fool. Please forgive me. I will not deny that I feel attracted to you, Grace. You occupy my every erotic thought. But for now, can we call it a truce, I promise to respect your distance and decision. And if you are still up for sex eventually, I’ll be there.”
