UNEXPECTED MATE

CHAPTER 4

My body is on fire. I need Alexander’s touch. I need his hands on my bare skin. We’re pawing away at each other, awkwardly taking clothes off and snogging like our lives depend on it.

We’re a hot mess and there’s no use trying to deny it.

I feel the hardness poking at my core from where Alexander now hovers above me. It must be big, i can sense it.

Alexander unbuttons my jeans and slips his hand in until his fingers are under my knickers and stroking my wetness. I gasp. Just his hand feels so good and my hips react to the pleasure.

I’m a slut.

The word goes in my head before I can stop it and I freeze.

‘Stop.’

Alexander looks at me with fear in his eyes.

I sit up properly and put my arms around my exposed bra.

‘This right here feels a lot like lust not love. You’re married whether she’s your mate or not and i’m dating your stepson. If we carry on then we’re both practically having an affair and if we’re going to do this. If we’re going to be the real thing then I want love. I want romance.’

‘The longer we wait the harder it will become to resist.’

‘I want a love story that I can tell my kids about one day, not one i’m ashamed of.’

Alexander sighs. ‘Just the thought of you having my kids one day makes me soo happy.’

He leans over and kisses me. ‘I want to give you everything. I want to do it right with you. I will end things with my wife the right way. She needs to know what she did in the first place was wrong, something I could never forgive her for but then again if she hadn’t I might never have met you.’

He kisses me again, more deeply this time and it takes everything in me to make sure it doesn’t lead into more. ‘I’ll do anything for us.’ Alexander says.

He goes to get up but my hand stops him. ‘I didn’t say that we could sleep side by side for the night.’

‘We’re drenched.’

‘Then we sleep in our underwear.’

I get up from the bed and remove my jeans before climbing into bed so i’m in nothing else but a bra and skimpy knickers and it isn’t long before Alexander follows suit pulling me close so my back is against him and his hard friend.

The girlish snigger escapes my lips.

‘This is going to be the longest night of my life,’ Alexander groans.

I grab one of the cushions and place it between us so he’s pushing against something else. Hopefully this will make it a little easier at least.

‘Don’t be surprised it you hear the shower running a couple of times through the night.’

I laugh again and Alexander places a soft kiss on my cheek.

‘Goodnight my Sophie.’

‘Goodnight my Alexander.’
