To - Lexi Reed

Subject- It always ends up being about my Ass doesn’t it? :-)

Ms. Reed,

I am aware of my terms of employment, I was merely trying to suggest a more cost effective way to reach our objective.

If you need me in Miami, I’m there.

YOU are astoundingly perfect, he’s lucky to have you. I’m glad you have opened your heart.

Yes, all the pieces were coming together. I smiled to myself as I closed my iPad and stowed it away.

“You look rather pleased with yourself.” Alex slid an eye open and yawned.

“Just business. Things are failing into place. I’m having Matt fly over to Miami.” I ran my fingers through his startlingly sexy hair.  Even messed from sleeping he still looked amazing, his stubble playing on his breathtaking jaw.

“What business?” Alex sat up in his seat a little straighter, a mischievous smile flirting on his lips. “Are you thinking of having some down time in Miami? Maybe sit by the pool with me?” I could tell he was hopeful.

“Well... that is part of the benefit. Just be patient and wait ok. I don’t want to jinx it until I am a hundred percent sure it’s all going ahead but I am almost positive you will like it.”

As much as I hated keeping things from Alex, I wanted Matt to be the first to know.

Alex pouted playfully, “Fine, I’ll wait.”

“Thanks baby, I promise it will be a good surprise.” I moved my hand to his chin, letting his rough stubble prickle my fingers. I loved the way he looked, slightly unshaven, it almost made him look sexier.

The cabin crew announced we were making our final decent into Miami, instructing everyone to return their seats to their upright position and stow away any bags or electronic devices.

I opened the window shutter, the dark night littered with lights as we turned for our final approach. I felt my stomach lunge as we dropped in altitude and my ears popped. The lights marking the edges of the runway became clearer as we came into land. I closed my eyes as I felt the slight jolt of the tires making contact with the tarmac. Touch down. I heard the whistle of the air breaks and the ailerons as the plane rolled along the runway before slowing to a stop.

“Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Miami. Local time is 10.45 p.m. and the temperature is a balmy 75 degrees. We hope you have enjoyed your flight with us this evening and your Captain and Cabin Crew thank you for choosing Delta Airlines.”

I opened my eyes as I felt the release of my lap belt, Alex’s hands sliding from my lap.

“We’re here, I can’t wait to see how good we are in Miami.”

It seemed to be a running theme with us, judging the city we visited by our insatiable bedroom antics. Not that we could ever use that information on Trip Adviser but it amused us and provided much needed sanity for the daily gruel of non stop travel.

“I don’t know Alex, Atlanta is going to be hard to beat!”  I traced his hard pectoral muscles through his thin t-shirt.

“Oh I got moves baby, you haven’t seen yet.” Alex’s eyes glistened with promise. He took my hand and led me out of the plane, our motley group of sleepy rock stars yawning and grumbling behind us.

“Car is ready Lexi.” DarNell, pulled the phone away from his ear.

“You guys go on ahead and I’ll go with Brad and get the bags.” Bear waved us on. Brad nodded as he followed Bear.

Brad was HUGE, almost seven foot tall and built like a linebacker, but barely spoke. He fitted in well but despite traveling the globe with him, I hardly knew anything about him. I knew he was originally from Tampa and went to Rutgers University on a football scholarship. He dropped out after an injury on the field bent his knee ninety degrees in the opposite direction putting to bed any chance he had to play professionally. He was quiet but polite and when he stared down reporters they moved the hell out of the way.

“Thank you Bear, Brad. I’ll see you both back at the hotel.” I waved as we walked purposely through the arrivals lounge, flanked by DarNell and Jake.

There was only a small gathering
of die-hard fans at the airport. I had guessed it was due to the late time of our arrival. Though tired, each of the band members quickly posed for photos and signed a few autographs before DarNell finally pushed them into waiting cars.

My iPhone beeped as an incoming text message arrived.

- Flight Booked. Arrive tomorrow 9 a.m. Will email flight details. Matt xo

- Yay! I’ll send a car to pick you up. Night. L xxx

I was relieved to know that Matt would be here in the morning, it had been a while since we saw each other, too long in fact.

Our cavalcade of cars travelled down the Palmetto Express way on route to our hotel the Ritz-Carlton in Coconut Grove.  I pressed my head against the glass of the Escalade, it’s dark windows fogging under my hot breath.

The Ritz-Carlton was a stunning hotel, hosting a breathtaking view of Biscayne Bay and Miami’s vibrant skyline.  We had been greeted by a super efficient concierge who had us checked in and ushered us to our suites in record time, earning him a big fat tip.

I had barely closed the door when Alex had me pressed against a wall, his hands fisting my hair, his mouth hungrily on mine. My body responded as I melted into his tall, muscular frame, my leg hooking around his hip as he feverishly kissed me.

“Greedy?” I moaned as Alex pulled at my shirt, sending the buttons flying as the fabric strained against his fingers.

“I need you.” Alex hissed into my mouth, removing his t-shirt and kicking off his shoes.

“I need you too.” I clawed against his bare back, while his hands fell down to my skirt. He fumbled angrily with the zipper till it finally slid down and pushed my skirt to the violently to the ground.

“Easy on the clothes Asshole, that skirt cost me eight hundred bucks.” I stepped out of it and pushed hard against his chest, forcing him back.

“Fuck the skirt, it was in my way. I’ll write you a cheque.” Alex clipped, gliding me forward with him toward the bedroom.

My hands pulled at the waistband of his jeans, then slid down to the where the denim strained against his waiting erection.

“Ready for me?” I panted, pulling at his belt, desperate to get off his jeans.

“Always ready for you. My cock was made for you”. He helped me push down his jeans and kicked them off.

“Nice sentiment even though it’s bullshit.”  I groaned as I threw him down onto the king size bed.

His back flattened against the mattress, the weight of his body causing ripples to travel through the bed. I kicked off my shoes as I climbed on top of him, his hot mouth clamping over my tender breast, his teeth racking across the delicate lace of my bra.

I drew in a sharp breath as he clawed at the back strap, the fabric snapping across my chest as he pulled.

“That bra was La Perla, this is becoming an expensive exercise for you!” I pushed down his cotton trunks, his throbbing length springing free.

“Worth every penny,” Alex moaned as he pulled my hands around behind me, pinning them firmly in place so that my chest jutted forward involuntarily, giving his mouth unrestricted access to my breasts. His hot tongue swirled around each erect nipple slowly, sending pleasure pulsing through my body.

I closed my eyes and I felt my body temperature rise. He relinquished his grasp around my wrists, moving his hands all over my torso, a trail of fire following his touch. I grabbed his hips and pulled them up toward me, his hot, hard length finding its mark between my legs. The friction as he moved up and down drove me crazy, soaking my lace panties
thoroughly.

“Don’t stop!” I panted as his throbbing erection pulsed up and down the length of my clit.

“I want to feel how wet you are, knowing it’s for me,” Alex growled in my ear as his hand reached down between my thighs.

“These, need to go.” He took the delicate lace of my panties into his strong, agile fingertips.  I felt the pressure and then the distinct sound of ripping fabric as they came apart in his hands.
“I hope you weren’t too attached to those.” A wicked half smile twisted on his lips.

The skin on skin contact pulled me further into oblivion as my wetness coated him.

“Right now... I need you...in me” I panted as my lips covered his, my hands traveling over his sculptured chest uncontrollably.

Alex lifted my hips as I desper
ately tried to grind against him and in one swift movement flipped me over onto my back. His body towered above mine as I squirmed below him trying to gain friction.

“I’m driving.” Alex eyes were seething with lust.

My hands threaded through his hair, pulling his head toward me. I kissed him passionately but roughly and bit his lip. I raised my hips impatiently as he settled between my legs.

“I wanted to take this slow but you make it impossible.” His voice struggled as he breathed in.

“We can do slow later, right now I need you to fuck me. Please...Just fuck me, HARD!” I demanded unable to hold it together any longer.

Every inch of my body was aroused. My skin burned, the ache in my groin was unbearable and even the follicles i
n my head tingled. I needed him. In the most animalistic way, I needed him. I didn’t want to do slow, I didn’t want to make it last longer, I wanted him now, I wanted my release NOW.

“Seeing as you said Please.” He grabbed his throbbing cock in his hand as he lifted slightly off me, guiding into my wet, hot
centre. I gasped as it filled me, its girth straining against me as I tilted to take more of him in.

He took my knees and pulled them up, as he rammed me harder, the force making my eyes water slightly. The pain mixed with pleasure seared through me as he took me just beyond my limit of comfort.

“Is this what you want?” He moaned as I felt him swelling even further inside me.

“Yes!” I screamed as I met each one of his thrusts. It was rough and desperate. I couldn’t slow down.

His hands gripped me tighter.  As his fingers pushed into my skin, his mouth sucked at my neck.

As he pumped deeper and harder into me I winced, he slowed sensing
I might be in pain.

“Don’t
you dare stop!” I screamed as I grabbed his taut, athletic ass and pushed him further into me.

He was so deep that
I thought I might tear. My body ached as I arched, contorted beyond its limits. My inner muscles clamped around him as he thrust in and out of me.

“Lexi...” He
growled, “You are going to make me come” His eyes filled with heat.

I couldn’t
speak as my body tensed further. It felt so good. I gasped as his pace quickened, I couldn’t hold out any longer. “Aghhhhhh!” I screamed as pleasure ripped through my body, causing it to shake. “Alex...Oh… My... God!” I felt my orgasm roll over me, waves and waves of pleasure flowed through every inch of me.

“Lexi” Alex hissed as my release sent him into his own spiral of pleasure. “Ahhh, Lexi... Ohhh... Ahhh…” He continued to thrust as he unravelled, filling me with his hot, thick load.

My body shook as his orgasm intensified mine. I gripped him; my finger nails ripping into his flesh, panting as we rode it out together, unable to speak.

Alex pulled my mouth to his, my lips were frenzied as I kissed him. “That. was. so. fucking. hot” he breathed, in between kisses.

“Better than Atlanta?” I moaned into his mouth.

Alex laughed, “After that, I don’t even remember Atlanta.”

He released my body and slowly rolled off me, the sensation of him pulling out of me, almost making me come again.

“Ahhhhh,” I moaned.
It felt so good.

“I love hearing that noise.” He gently bit my lip.

I looked up and smiled, his body glistened with sweat, as mine did. My eyes closed with exhaustion as he swept me into his arms, laying my head onto his chest.

“Lexi...” I felt Alex’s breathing starting to slow “Usually if there are two ways to take something, you will take it in the way I didn’t mean. But... I’m going to ask you anyway.”

“What?” I yawned sleepily, not really wanting to have a conversation right now.

“Don’t get me wrong, THAT was AMAZING. It was incredibly hot and it took every inch of restraint I had to hold off as long as I did…” Alex’s finger trace along my arm.

“But?” I forced my foggy brain to stay awake.

“But... what was all that about? You seemed like you were on some kind of a mission?” I heard the question in his voice.

Despite fear of pissing me off, Alex didn’t hold back with me. It was one of the biggest turn ons. He wasn’t threatened by me and he met me as an equal. While we had sex constantly, usually it wasn’t as rough or as desperate as what just happened.

“You trying to make me mad?” I smiled, as I looked into his clear blue eyes.

“You trying to make me hard?” He grinned back.

I took a long deep breath, I trusted him
.... it had taken me months but I finally trusted him. “Alex, I love you. I have never been with anyone like you, not just sexual but emotionally. I know I’m difficult to be around sometimes but yet you are still here.”
