from Pain to Pleasure (Gainesville Book 1) (12 page)

In the real world, “Shh, it’s OK.” Alex squeezed her and kissed her neck. “I’m not gonna hurt you. I’ll protect you. I swear.” He squeezed his eyes shut. He hated that she even feared
his
touch at times.

Unsure how to tell him she was fine, she leaned against him more. When he sighed in her ear, she realized she had rubbed him. She moved her butt again and smirked as he groaned. One more time, and he gripped her tighter.

“Stop…” He gasped. “Please…” He was sure he would cum if she kept it up.

The giggle was difficult to suppress. She knew she teased him, and that wasn’t fair, but the sounds he made were addictive. “You OK?” She played dumb.

“Fine.”

He gritted his teeth. His dick hurt even more.
Maybe she’s trying to encourage me?
He waited a few seconds, to see if she pulled away. Then he moved a hand to her hip.

Danielle held her breath. It felt like he was about to take things further. She took a deep breath and relaxed as much as possible. No way could she come onto him, but if he started it, she would welcome it. Her heart pounded, as she waited to see what he would do.

Alex tugged her panties down a few inches. She didn’t react, so he pulled them down some more. He ran his hand over her ass cheek, and then squeezed it.
Perfect
. He quickly checked she was still awake. Her eyes were opened but focused on the wall. His straining cock clouded his better judgment. He slid his hand lower, and his fingertips dipped into the space between her cheeks. His hips surged forward, automatically.

“You OK with this?” he softly asked, dying to just enter her, but he couldn’t bear it if she was afraid.

She nodded. Anxiety gripped her.
Will it hurt? Did Alex just tell me it felt good to get me in bed?
She felt his underwear come down also. Then the head of his erection slid down. Her eyes opened wide. Flashbacks started.

He paused, poised at her entrance. “I don’t have a condom.” He clenched his teeth. “Can I just get in you for a little while, and then you go down on me, to be safe?” He was so wound up, he would take the risk.

After she had taken in a sharp breath, Danielle froze.
He wants to put his penis in my mouth? Oh God, no!
Her mind reeled.
And what if Brian finds out?
The time Brian choked her suddenly flashed before her eyes. She could see Brian’s jealousy and fury.

Alex felt her shake and quickly pulled his boxers up. “I’m sorry. I should’ve known better.” He pulled her panties up as well, then hugged her. “I didn’t mean to push you.”
What the fuck is wrong with me?
He knew she wasn’t ready but couldn’t stop himself.

Danielle took his hands in hers and gripped them tightly. “I’m sorry I teased you.” Her voice was shaky. It revealed her terror.

“It’s fine,” he assured her. “I’m more worried about you. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

She pulled on his hands. “Just hold me close. Please. I need you.”

“Anything.” Guilt consumed him. He would do anything to take back that moment of stupidity. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and exhaled on her neck. “This good?” When she nodded, he closed his eyes. His erection refused to go down, so he hoped she was alright feeling it. His balls protested, though.

Danielle felt safe again. She let out a sigh of relief. It felt so right to be in his arms.

The next morning, Danielle woke up to the alarm on Alex’s phone. He still held her in the same position. She was pulled out of a dream that had made her blush. Once the alarm automatically snoozed itself, she caressed Alex’s hand, which was over her ribs. He had such large hands compared to hers.

In her dream, those hands roamed all over her naked body. He sucked on her nipples, which Brian had never done before. Then he kissed his way down her body before he ran his tongue over her pussy. Something she had never experienced. Soon after, he kissed her as he drove into her. Then he held her close as he slowed his pumping. They gasped together… She wished it hadn’t ended.

Alex’s alarm went off again, but he still didn’t move. Danielle reached back, rubbed his thigh and softly called his name. He stirred and rubbed his morning erection on her ass. She smirked.
What would it have been like if I didn’t freak out last night?

He dreamt that he didn’t stop the night before. Her body was soft and beautiful. He moaned as he fucked her harder and harder. He gripped her tighter. She clenched around him, and it felt amazing. Then his groans got significantly louder.

“I’m cumming,” he whispered.

Danielle was shocked at the words, but then she smirked. She knew the dream was about her. Her shirt had bunched up, so she felt moisture against her lower back. Curious, she again reached back. That time, she wrapped her hand around him. It was hard as a rock and had let out more pre-cum. She stroked it through his boxers a few times and loved how it felt. His soft sighs encouraged her to continue. Lost in his pleasure, she closed her eyes.

“Uh… God.” Alex moaned loudly. His eyes opened, and he grinned. He couldn’t believe Danielle was doing that. “Mmm, yeah.” He nuzzled the back of her neck. “Faster. Please.” He was about to explode already.

Shocked he was awake, Danielle jumped and pulled away. “Oh God. I’m sorry.” Her face reddened. “I was… you kept rubbing me… I was curious what it felt like.” She was beyond embarrassed that he caught her exploring his body. She hid her face; she couldn’t look at him.

“It’s fine. Felt real good.” He ran a hand down her arm and pulled her back into his arms again. “I don’t wanna get up. I wanna hold you like this all day.” It was so much better than a simple hug.

The words eased her humiliation. He always knew what to say. His body against hers fueled her arousal, though. A finger brushed the bottom edge of her breast. Instantly, her nipples hardened. She didn’t know what to do to stop her body’s reactions. He turned her into a puddle of need without trying.

Alex’s phone rang. He begrudgingly got up and took it out of his pants on the floor. “Yeah, I’m up,” he said to Dave. “I’ll be there in like, 20.”

He hated interruptions, but he had obligations. He looked down and blushed when he saw the wet spot on the front of his underwear. She made him crazy, along with that dream he had.
Damn!
He hoped sex with her was half that good.

Danielle rolled onto her back and followed Alex’s gaze. She licked her lips, unconsciously. The only thing on her mind was him naked, yet her anxiety kept her from making a move.
Marie goes for what she wants. Why can’t I?
Uncertainty. That stopped her.

Alex knelt on the bed and looked down at her. He smiled, deviously. A devilish idea popped into his head. He pulled the blanket down and grabbed at her side. “Are you ticklish?”

She backed away from him because she was. “No,” she lied.

“Yes, you are. I see it in your eyes.”

He moved closer, and soon she was laughing so hard, tears fell down her cheeks. Alex laughed as well while she thrashed all over the bed. His hands were soon on her skin, her shirt above her belly. The only drawback was that it turned him on even more. Her laughter was like an aphrodisiac. His cock twitched as she squirmed beneath him, which made it worse.

Danielle was shocked that he found every place on her body that made her giggle. She hadn’t had anyone do that to her since she was a kid. Their eyes met when he paused for a few seconds. Instantly, she moistened even further. She stared as he straddled her hips. Then he started again, and she squealed.

Her shirt rode up more with every move she made. When Alex looked down, her breasts were exposed, her nipples hardened tips. He grinned, and then leaned down and kissed her, dying to fuck her. She didn’t resist, so he lay on top of her. He kissed her repeatedly and struggled to hold back. His knees opened her legs, instinctively. When he pressed his erection to her hot core, his eyes rolled back.
She wants me just as bad
.

She unconsciously reacted. Her arms went around his neck, and she slid her tongue past his lips. The kiss deepened. Both of them groaned. He ground against her pussy, which made her gasp. The heat between her legs grew. She became desperate for him, something she didn’t understand. Her hands wove in his hair which urged him closer. Unsure of herself, she pressed her hips up.

Alex squeezed her right breast and fingered her stiff nipple. “I need you… Please,” he begged.

“Having fun are we?” Marie asked from within the room.

Alex jumped, and Danielle’s eyes widened. He looked back. Logan stared at Danielle with his mouth agape. Alex quickly pulled her top down, and then pretended he didn’t see the long scars on her chest, ribs, and abdomen.

“Uh, we were, uh, just joking around,” Alex stammered. It sounded very guilty. He sat next to Danielle and turned to her. “You OK?”

She nodded, and then her face heated up.

“So, there’s two beds, and you slept together,” Marie said with a smile. “Did you guys fuck, too?”

“No!” Danielle cried out.

Alex pulled the blanket over her. “We had clothes on all night.”

“I see, but not much.” Marie’s eyebrows rose. “I like. Yum.” She couldn’t take her eyes off his noticeable erection.

“Hey!” Danielle shouted. She threw the blanket over Alex’s crotch. “Stop looking at him like that.”

Logan handed Alex his pants. He got under the blanket and put them on. Then he slid out and headed to the bathroom. He leaned against the door and banged his head against it. It felt like he would die if he didn’t fuck her. For a moment, he thought about asking her to join him in the bathroom, but that would be too obvious. She would never go for it, anyway.

Marie noticed Danielle’s phone flash and vibrate. She lifted it off the night stand. “You have a lot of messages.” She met Logan’s eyes and relayed with a look that they had to be from Brian.

Danielle had forgotten to call him when they arrived. Alex had been the only thing on her mind. She glanced at the screen. There were 30 messages and several missed calls. She stared at the phone, her hands shaking.
He must be furious
.

“Is it him?” Marie knew the answer from the expression on her face, fear.

Danielle nodded, and then read the first text, which had come at about 1 am:

Did you get there yet?

The next:

Dani, are you OK?

There was a delay of an hour until the third one.

Where the fuck are you? I know you got there. I traced your fucking phone. The hotel checked you in hours ago

Then:
If you’re with Alex, I’ll hunt him down and kill him. Then you’re finished.

Tears stung Danielle’s eyes, but she had to read them all, or she wouldn’t know what she faced when she called him.

Marie sat with her and put an arm around her shoulders. “We’re all here for you,” she whispered.

Danielle read another:
I swear I’ll catch a flight tonight if you don’t call soon.

There was another delay, this time half an hour.

Do you want me to whip your ass?

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Alex had himself in his hand. Eyes closed, he thought about almost finally doing her. He was definitely an ass man. He grabbed the edge of the vanity, which he leaned on.

His hand moved faster. He couldn’t get through the day without an orgasm. She had gotten him so worked up that a cold shower wouldn’t be good enough. He groaned quietly, and his head went back. With the sudden sound of Danielle’s voice, he went over the edge.

Taken off guard, he came. When the spasms ceased, he relaxed and exhaled loudly. If he didn’t get to fuck her soon, he thought, he would develop carpal tunnel syndrome.

Danielle read the final message.

If you don’t call soon, I’m sending my brother up there. Remember him?

She gasped and started to sob.

Marie snatched the phone away and read the message. She shouted, “Alex! He’s threatening her!”

Alex quickly closed his pants and flew into the room. “What the fuck did he say?” He took the offered phone. His anger built quickly as he read the messages. After the last one, he shouted, “That asshole. I’m calling him!” He couldn’t believe Brian threatened to send his brother to rape her again.

“No. Please. Don’t.” Danielle became frantic in an instant. He was not supposed to be there too. “You can’t.”

Then her phone rang. Alex looked at it. Fire flashed in his eyes. He met Danielle’s terror filled eyes. Instead of doing what he wanted to, he handed her the phone.

“H—hel—lo?” She tried not to portray her fear.

Brian fumed. He had tried her number since he woke up, with no response. “Where the hell have you been? You better be in the hospital.”

“N—no,” she stammered. Guilt filled her over the intimacy she shared with Alex. “I put my phone on vibrate for the drive up here. I’m sorry. I forgot to switch it. I fell asleep as soon as I lay on the bed. I didn’t mean—”

Brian exhaled loudly. “You fucking bitch. You’re too stupid to remember to fucking call me?”

“It’s not like that.” She started to cry again. The tone of voice he used was so familiar to her. “Please. I didn’t mean to forget.”

“If I was there, you’d be over my knee. I’d spank you right in front of your friends before giving you what you deserve.”

Danielle hugged her legs with her free arm. “Brian, we got here at like midnight.”

“No, you didn’t!” Brian growled. “You checked in at like noon!”

Then she understood. Alex had checked them in. “Marie’s friend checked us in. So she could get the card keys for us. She had to. Please, believe me.”

Brian took a deep breath. He thought about her response. Hotel check-in at midnight was unusual. That was true. His promise came to him, to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Alex carefully climbed on the bed. He cringed at every creak. He moved on the bed, until he was behind Danielle, and then pulled her to lean on him. She settled on his chest slowly, while she shook and cried.

“I’m sorry,” Brian finally said after he thought for a few minutes. “I was worried about you. No one knew where you were.” None of his friends had gone up to see the game as instructed, which also annoyed him.
