Pure Seduction

Chapter 16

Alex and I sit on the couch with the TV muted. I fight to keep my eyes open, making him chuckle. "Madison, go to bed."

"After I finish this milkshake," I mumble sleepily.

Grabbing the milkshake, he places it on the table. "You've been finishing it for an hour now. Come on, let's get you into bed."

My eyes pop open I stare up at him. "I'm awake. Let's go for a walk."

"It's midnight, Madison."

"Just a while longer," I whisper, closing my eyes.

Just when I feel completely relaxed and comfortable, I feel Alex's arms slip around me. I lay my head against his chest but before I know it, his touch is replaced with the comfort of the matress. "Sleep," he says softly.

"Stay," I whisper with my eyes closed.

After he pulls the blanket over me, all I hear is silence. I shouldn't have expected him to stay anyways. Within seconds, I am pulled under into a deep sleep.

The next morning, I wake up feeling oddly good. That was the best sleep I've had in a long time. The morning light peeks through the curtains, giving the large room a soft glow. Beside me lays a sleeping Alex. I notice that he is sleeping on top of the blankets and towards the edge of the bed.

Smiling contently, I climb out of bed, careful not to wake him. Once I'm out of bed, I make my way over to the desk where I sit down. Picking up the phone, I order breakfast to have sent up to the room. Then I go to the bathroom and take a shower before slipping into my robe.

When I get back into the bedroom, Alex is sitting up on the bed looking at his phone. I walk over to my suitcase to pick out an outfit. "I wasn't sure how long you'd stay but I ordered breakfast. It should be up here soon."

"Sounds good."

"If you want to shower I can have clothes sent up," I offer.

"I have some clothes downstairs in my truck actually," he says. "My friend Thomas moved to Fort Lauderdale with his fiancé so we haven't got to see each other much. I was just leaving his place when you called yesterday."

"Oh. Well I can go get your bag after I get dressed," I offer.

"Thanks but I can get it," he smiles. "I'll be right back."

"Okay. The room key is by the door."

He grabs his truck keys before heading for the door. Once the door is closed, I lay out a few outfits on the bed, debating on which one two wear. Once I put on a bra and matching panties, I toss two of the outfits back into the bag. My phone begins ringing on the nightstand and I sit on the bed to answer it. "Hello," I answer.

"Hey Madison," Isabelle says. "Do you have any plans today?"

"I'm not really sure yet. Why?"

"Well the baby will be here soon so I thought I'd go pick up some last minute things," she says. "I was wondering if maybe you'd want to go."

Laying back on the bed, I bite my lip. "I'm in Miami right now and I invited Alex over so we're having breakfast. I'm not sure if we'll do anything else today."

"Alex, huh?" she asks happily. "It's too early for him to be in Miami. That means he stayed over last night."

I roll my eyes as I chuckle. "You caught me. He stayed because I asked him to but nothing happened."

"Sure," she chuckles.

"Can we hangout tomorrow instead?" I ask. "I was thinking about taking you and my dad out for dinner so we could talk about some things."

"Of course," she says. "Just call me later with the details."

"I will."

Just as we're saying our goodbyes, I hear the door open. Tossing my phone on the bed, I quickly stand up with the intention of putting my robe back on but it's too late. Alex stands there with a small bag in his hand as he gawks at me. His eyes roam across my body, taking in every inch and curve.

With any other man I would have been insecure and covered but not with Alex. He has seen more of me than anyone else has. I've allowed myself to open up to him on so many levels and I trust him. Even after everything we've been through. No matter what happens between us, I will always love him.

Minutes pass with us staring at each other. My tongue darts out of my mouth, brushing across my bottom lip. The action doesn't go unnoticed by him. "You're irresistible," he whispers barely loud enough for me to hear.

Dropping the bag on the chair beside him, he saunters towards me. When he reaches me, he leans his forehead against mine. "Tell me what you want," he says softly.

"I want you," I reply without hesitating.

Cupping my face, his lips meet mine. As he kisses me fervently, I find myself taking slow steps back towards the bed. Removing his hands from my face, they circle around my back and unclasp my bra. He helps me out of it before breaking the kiss to focus on our clothing. I sit on the edge of the bed and begin unzipping his pants before there's a knock on the door.

We are froze to our spots until the person knocks again. My hands drop onto my thighs and I look up at Alex who glances down at his erection. "You should probably get it. I'm going to take a cold shower."

I try not to show my disappointment as he kisses my forehead. Once he is in the bathroom, I quickly pull my robe on and answer the door where breakfast is waiting. I allow the man into the room so he can push the cart in. When he is gone, I quickly get dressed before sitting on the bed to watch TV as I wait for Alex to get out of the shower.

A small part of me begs me to join him but a bigger part tells me it's a bad idea. Things between us are constantly changing. One moment we're lusting after each other and the next we're not talking. It's an unstable relationship. We need to work on it if we plan on being something. I'd like him to be a part of my life from now on.
