Sinful Addiction

Part 11 - When I Tell You To Do Something, You Do It.

C/W: Language, some vague threats of violence. Smut (oral sex - f receiving, bondage, praise kink, slight denial, domination)

Do we like detailed smut warnings or would just 'smut' be sufficient, that way it remains a bit of a surprise as to what exactly happens? Let me know : )

The next few days were awkward, to say the least. Alexia and August had fallen asleep on the couch and the next morning she woke up to another note. He had to go to Boston for two days. He apologized profusely for having to run out like that, especially after the events of the previous night. Alexia completely understood, she knows what it is like to have to leave with short notice. Not completely sure what a work emergency would be in his line of work but she believed him. He made sure she knew she could stay at the penthouse and that he will let her know when he is on his way home.

August was pissed that he had to leave. He felt like he was breaking the promise he had made her but there was no way out of it. His headquarters in Boston were having major technical issues and he had to be there to oversee the complete reboot. Certain precautions are in place in order to try and prevent major hacks or weaknesses in their system and one of those precautions was that whenever there is a complete reboot he and his right-hand man have to be there in order to perform certain duties simultaneously and they can't be done remotely.

Even worse he thought that he might finally be earning Alexia's trust and having to get up and leave like that may have sent him right back to the starting line. He hasn't gotten as much time as he would have liked to try and learn about her so he is determined to get back as soon as possible.

However, Alexia has been a bit more successful than him. She learned that he can work anything from eight to sixteen-hour days. Usually leaning more toward the ladder. He likes his routine or what little bits he can make of one. No matter what time he gets in he is always up by four-thirty. He works out, either in his in-home gym or goes for a run. He comes home, showers, gets ready, and eats a protein bar before leaving for the day.

She also confirmed that he worked for The Organization. He was their number one hit man but mysteriously cut ties with them after only four years. Not something that is easy to do. She found some old missing person reports for his sister but didn't do much digging into that since he told her she is currently attending Princeton. She just assumed that she had run away for a couple of days or stayed with a friend without telling him because it was the same time his mother was killed. Besides, that was dangerously close to the personal life information she is not comfortable snooping into.

Coming home from her doctor's appointment she had gotten a bit more used to driving around the city rather than walking it. "Thank you, Jace." She says as she climbs out of the black SUV that August had arranged to take her wherever she may need to go.

"My pleasure Miss Petrova, and congrats on getting rid of the crutches." He walks her to the lobby door.

"Alexia, and thank you." Walking through the front door she is greeted by Thomas. Alexia was happy to finally put a name to the kind doorman she used to run past so often. Alexia is very charismatic when she wants to be. She has become friendly with everyone who works in the building or anyone who works for August that she has been around more than once since getting here. Stepping into the elevator she inserts the key that August had given her and then hits the button for the top floor. Turning the key again the doors slide open. She loves the convenience of having an elevator but the ride up always slightly triggers her claustrophobia but it is quickly relieved by the openness of the penthouse.

She makes a b-line for the bedroom she has been staying in and changes into a black pair of leggings and a matching sports bra. Walking out of the room her bare feet pad over the cool marble floors. until she reaches the in-home gym. She pops in her earbuds and ties her hair up into a tight ponytail. Progressively getting more excited to finally get the workout she has been needing. She has felt her mood get progressively worse over the last couple of days, trying to avoid...Everyone, after snapping at Tony over the phone for doing...Well, nothing. Probably a good thing August has been out of town. She needs a full workout, and to punch something before she loses her mind. She turns up her music and grabs the hand wraps off the table, she starts to wrap up her fists while warming up.
