beaten to a fuckin’ bloody pulp but I’m not about to let that stop me from getting what I want.
Kissing my way from Alexis’ mouth, I make my way down her jaw line to her neck all the way down until I’m face to breast. Reaching behind her, I unhook her bra and quickly remove the small layer that blocks me from viewing her delectable nipples.
“Tanner,” she moans, her hands scraping down my back as I lean forward to take one of her nipples in my mouth.
Rotating from one to the other, I savor the taste of her skin as well as the sounds coming from her.
With a pop, I release her nipple and make my way further down her body.
“What are you doing?”
Lifting my head, I find her staring at me. With a smirk, I lean back on my knees as I hold her gaze. “Thought that was obvious baby. I’m about to remove those sexy as fuck jeans of yours and finish my feast on that delectable body.”
“Oh. Umm. You can’t,” she murmurs, a blush crossing her cheeks.
“Why the fuck not?” I demand.
“I mean I want you too, but I can’t, at least not right now.” Not liking her vague answer, I wait for her to explain. Wondering if she’s going to tell me she’s on her period or some shit like that. “When I got my hair done earlier, I also had gotten a wax and it’s suggested not to do any activities for several hours directly after.”
Well fuck. If the vision of her being bare to me doesn’t cause my dick to harden even further.
“Plus, Tanner, you’re hurt right now and need to be lying down to rest,” she states, lifting herself up into a sitting position.
“I may be fuckin’ hurtin’ but it’s nothing I can’t deal with. And nothing could keep me from seeing that pussy now knowing what you just said. Now lie back on the bed and let me get these jeans out of the fuckin’ way of seeing what I’ve been dreaming of every damn night for years,” I growl pushing gently against Alexis’ chest until she’s lying back down.
Making quick work of the denim, I get them off of her body and toss them to the side. My gaze follows down her now naked body taking in the sight of her until I get to the part of her, I’ve missed.
Seeing it completely bare is a sight for sore eyes. My dick throbs with need for her. Unfortunately, I’ll have to wait until later to sink my dick into her. Which is perfectly fine with me. I can simply just lay here and hold her naked body to mine.
“You know how beautiful you are baby?” I murmur, lying back down and gathering her into my arms.
“I’m not,” she says.
“Bullshit, baby. You are perfect and more than that you’re mine.” Lifting a hand to cup her chin, I make her meet my gaze for this part. “Don’t ever say you’re not beautiful Alexis. No one compares to you. From the first day I saw you, I knew you were the most beautiful woman in the world. We may have been in high school when we met but fate brought us together, giving us all the challenges that we’ve had. You’re my harmony and to me that means more than just beauty. It means everything.”
Before Alexis can respond, I lean my head to hers and take her mouth in a soul searing kiss. Desperate to have her as close as possible but the moment I roll her on to my chest, I have no choice but to break the kiss due to the pain.
Fuck, I’m goin’ to kill that fucker for doin’ this to me.
Better yet, I intend to kill the fucker who claimed I’d pay his fuckin’ debts.
My father.
Chapter 9
Alexis
“So how did everything go with Tanner? I mean it’s not like you’ve been ignoring us for the past month or something,” Emerson states from across the table at the café next door to the salon. She and Nora demanded I meet them for coffee after being MIA for a month.
“Ugh, don’t get me started,” I mutter.
It’d been a whole flipping month since the day I got home from my friend’s salon to find Tanner had been jumped. I still feel guilty even if it wasn’t technically my fault. If I hadn’t left, he wouldn’t have been out back trying to call me.
I’d tried to argue this point with him, and he’s constantly
