Zone Zero: Vengeance (Book 3 of 3)

Chapter 38

Perfect blue eyes stare into mine with a lustful need. I know my own eyes are telling the same story so I don't deny either for a second longer.

I reach out and touch Alex's cheek and let my fingers stroke his angular jawline before I close the small distance between us and press my lips sweetly to his. His lips are soft and full and even though I can sense his urgency to have me, he also wants to savour every second of every moment.

I feel his hands at the small of back and slowly they run up and around to my stomach until his fingers slide underneath my shirt. He plays with the hem for a second before slowly raising it up so that it can be peeled away from my skin. When it is off completely he tosses the fabric to the ground.

Next I choose to do the same tortuorsly slow movements to him. I unbutton his long sleeve dress shirt and then push it down his arms and to the ground.

When he is shirtless in front of me I take my eyes away from his and look down at his body. Firm muscles protrude underneath taut skin and I can't help but run my fingers over his abs. He is perfect in every way.

I notice his breathing hitch when I place my fingers on him which causes me to catch his gaze once more. The moment our eyes lock he let's his fingers run through my hair and down the side of my face before stopping his hand at the bottom of my neck.

His eyes flicker to my lips and then lower to my concealed breasts and the black lace that covers them. His hand then slides under one strap and then the other bringing them off of my shoulders before reaching around and unclasping the back of my bra. Before I know it, that too is on the floor.

He literally gasps and then takes both of my breasts into his hands gently and lays a single kiss on each of my collar bones. I close my eyes and let my head fall back as his soft lips find their way to engulf each breast, one after the other.

His hands are soon running up my back again stopping near my shoulder blades just as his kisses come to a halt. I reopen my eyes and come face to face with his ice blue ones and gulp to stop the quiver in my lips.

Once again our lips collide until I feel his fingers sliding into the top of my jeans and begin pulling the fabric down my legs. He kneels down to help me step out of each leg and then begins to kiss and touch the skin on my legs until he comes eye level with my belly button.

His hand finds its way to the top of my underwear and slowly he pulls them down as well until I am completely bare in front of him.

When he stands again I make quick work of undoing his pants and sliding them down his legs as well. But when I reach for his tight boxer briefs he takes me by surprise and picks me up bridal style before carrying me over to the bed that we were standing next to. The same bed we made love in for the first time.

Gently he places me down on the soft pillows and moves to hover over my body. He begins laying down a sweet assault of kisses that run from my neck down to my stomach before his hand separates my legs and a finger enters me.

I gasp at the pleasure that I am receiving from both his supple kisses and his skilled hand and it isn't long before a second digit enters me making it all the more pleasurable.

My eyes close as I arch my back and let my head dig deeper into the pillows. Without warning his tongue appears at my entrance as it licks and strokes my most sensitive area.

The all too familiar shudder ripples throughout my body warning me of impending release and I don't dare deny it. I fall apart under his intense touch within seconds and am left trying to stable my breathing.

My heart beat rises tenfold just as his face comes into view and our eyes meet once more. His lips then press against mine just as he enters me a slow pace.

I pull away from his kiss and bite my lip hard when he is completely inside of me.

In a torturously slow fashion, Alex moves above me as I run my fingers up his muscly back. Each thrust causes my nails to dig into his back a little harder just as the familiar flutter and tingle grows inside of me.

Part of me wants his movements to speed up so my release will come quickly but as soon as I look into his eyes I understand what he is doing.

He is reveling in every single second. Enjoying and savouring each moment as though it were the last moments we will ever have together.

His fingers trail softly from my cheek down my side and stop at my thigh before he hooks his hand underneath my leg and lifts it up. He fluidly rests my leg on his shoulder and continues to press deeper and deeper into me.

I can feel my leg begin to shake as the arrival of my ectasy nears. Alex senses this too and brings his face to my neck and plants soft kisses behind my ear.

"Bidh gràdh agam ribh gu bràth" he whispers in a language I have never heard. I don't even have to ask what he is saying because I already know.

A/N (It means 'I will love you forver' in Gaelic 😄)

Another thrust and I am sent to climax, biting my lower lip hard to stop myself from screaming his name.

Once I come down from my high, my primal instincts kick in and my list for him quadruples. I push on his chest and he already knows what I want.

We sit up in unison and I wrap my legs around his back tightly. Alex, in turn, wraps his arms around my waist and lifts me up and down on top of him.

"Come with me." He whispers in my ear and I nod frantically.

We are both so close now that release is imminent.

We lock eyes and I feel myself ready to be pushed over the edge.

"Ready?" He asks, breathlessly.

I nod rapidly just as one last thrust sends us both over the edge and into a state of complete euphoria.

We stay wrapped in each other for the longest time trying to steady our breathing. I am smiling both inwardly and outwardly which causes a smile to grow on Alex's lips as well.

"How do you do that?" He asks softly.

"Do what?"

"Make me love you more and more each day." He says while placing a stray curl of hair behind my ear.

"Must be my charm and good looks." I laugh.

"Must be." He laughs back before planting a small kiss on my forehead.

I can't help but melt from his kiss and from his words. From everything he does really.

A thought crosses my mind of if this is even reality anymore. With everything that has happened and who I have had to become, at least I have one constant in my life.
