Confectioners Sugar (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 4

I was exhausted by the end of it all and I was so ready to hang up the heels. When the last guests were ushered out I felt relieved that it was finally over. My group members and other coworkers tried to get me to go out and celebrate but I really just wanted to relax alone at home.

It felt good to know that everyone left basking in the afterglow of a successful launch and I felt accomplished. It also felt like this was just the beginning of what I could really do at Millennial Magazine.

"Congratulations Adam," I damn near karate chopped the fuck out of Alex when I turned around startled.

"By now you would think you'd know not to sneak up on me," what I really wanted to say: you fucktard why the fuck weren't you here.

"Sorry about that, but I can't help it. Scared Adam is incredibly funny." As Alex said that I hoped he hadn't read Bittney's message. Nothing else mattered.. because if he hated me, God, I didn't know if I could handle that.

Timidly I said, "Well I'm headed out. One thing though, why weren't you here?" I was so scared to know the answer but I had to know it.

"I got a message from someone," my heart sunk so low it found a new home in my feet. "I wanted you to focus on the launch but I'm dying to know..."

I watched Alex walk closer to me. Half of me braced for the blow that I hoped wouldn't land. I closed my eyes instinctively preparing for the pain but then there was velvet on my lips.

I groaned deeply and desperately tried to deepen the kiss, to get closer but Alex wasn't having any of it. He dominated my mouth but kept us from getting too close and then he pulled away.

"How does that taste?" I wrinkled my nose at Alex's question clearly confused. He grabbed me by the waist and didn't hold anything back when he kissed me again. It was hot and rough as Alex expertly coaxed more moans out of me. Then I understood. He tasted sweet like confectioners sugar.

I pulled back and hit Alex's chest, "God, you're cheesy," I giggled.

"Nope try again. Let me give you a hint.." Alex said with half lidded eyes. He grabbed me again but this time he was slow and gentle. I could still feel his desire simmering below the surface but I could also feel how much he cared about me.

"Sweet..." I whispered against his lips.

Alex wasted no time leading me back to his car and it took us back to his apartment. While Alex grabbed at my ass and kissed my neck he used his fob and we rode the elevator up to his penthouse suite. We never once detached ourselves from each other. When the doors opened in his apartment I thought, this is it.

Alex grabbed me and lifted me with his massive arms like I weighed nothing. I wanted to protest but Alex swallowed the words as he kissed me hard. He carried my to his bedroom and lay me on the bed, I ached for him so badly. Clothes flew everywhere as we took them off urgently but as soon as I was naked on the bed, illuminated by his bedroom's light, all my insecurities came rushing back.

"I.. can you get the light," my voice was wavering dangerously as the tears threatened to fall. I couldn't believe that after all the acceptance I was still so weak.

Instead of saying no and insisting I was beautiful, like some of the men I'd been with, or turning the light off, Alex looked me in the eyes. I felt a sense of calm wash over me as I locked into those comforting orbs. I knew Alex was crawling towards me slowly but it didn't matter because all I saw was him. In his eyes were all the wicked things he intended to do to me but I also saw the cuddles we would have afterwards. I saw the cupcakes he would inevitably buy for breakfast.
