My Most Precious One (20 page)

A Rainy Day

The two weeks I took off were now nearing an end. I wasn’t exactly looking forward to going to work and having the next few days be about me and why Lukas and I didn’t work out. I had decided to go for a walk. The day looked nice and I wanted and needed fresh air. A stark difference of who I was two weeks ago.

As I walked out the door of my building, I bumped right into the person in front of me, “I’m so sorry.” I said as I found my balance.

“I’m not.” I looked up to see it was Niko.

“What are you doing here?” He raised an eyebrow and laughed “Isn’t obvious.” He pointed at me.

I took two steps back to gain some distance, “I thought I told you I wasn’t interested?” He shook his head no. “You actually didn’t say anything, so I figured I still have a shot. So I came to see you.” I scoffed.

“My mother gave you my address and told you to come.” He narrowed his eyes.

“Correction, I asked your mother for your address and I came on my own.” I sighed. Great! A male version of my mother.

“Look Niko…” He interrupted me.

“No you look sweetheart, whatever you got going on with the other guy isn’t my concern right now. If you were with him I figured you would be attached, but you’re not. I don’t see a ring on your finger and that means I still have a chance. I’m interested in you, plain and simple. Now, what do you say about a date?”

Before I could tell him anything Jacob showed up.

“Alexia? Is everything ok?” I stepped closer to Jacob. “It’s fine, he’s just an acquaintance.” I offered. Jacob nodded his head at him.

“Lukas has you watching me?” I asked.

“Yes” Jacob smiled.

I heard Niko chuckle. “You have to be kidding me right? The guy seriously has issues. Alexia, these are called warning bells.” He walked closer to me, but Jacob came between us.

“You know you’re interested in me, if you weren’t you would have told me to fuck off by now. I’m not your typical guy, but I won’t play you like a toy like this guy does.” I could see that Jacob was growing angrier.

“Then hear me Niko. Fuck off. I told you I wasn’t in the right frame of mind and I’m seriously not interested in you. If I was I would be thinking about you, not Lukas, so do yourself a favour and stop sniffing around. I might not have a ring on my finger, but that man owns this broken heart of mine.” Niko didn’t like my answer, not one bit. It seemed that rejection was not something he was used to. Jacob shielded me from him as he walked off.

“We’ll see Alexia.”

I decided to take my walk anyway. Jacob followed only a few steps behind me, no longer needing to hide from my sight. The thoughts of Lukas and me kept swirling through my mind. I seriously didn’t know what to do now. The sound of thunder rumbling through the sky yanked me out of my trance. I looked up and saw storm clouds billowing above me, a warning of what was to come. I didn’t bring an umbrella so I started to walk back to my condo, I was two blocks from my home when the rain came pouring down like a heavy veil of water. The warm droplets were cascading down my hair onto my face. I told Jacob to run to the car as I started running to the condo. I could see Lukas’ Aston outside, my heart kicked up a gear.

He got out of the car as I ran towards the door. I stood under the overhang of the doorway, huffing trying to catch my breath. Lukas continued to stand in the rain just in front of my door.

“What are you doing?” I cried out to him. “Hurry up and get under here.” The rain was coming down harder now.

“Can I come upstairs?” He asked his voice wary. He continued to wait as the rain completely drenched him.

“For fucks sakes Lukas!” I ran out to where he stood.

“Can I come upstairs?” He asked again looking down at me, his eyes pleading with me.

“Alexia?” It was the way he said my name. God, how was he able to do this to me?

“Yes you can come upstairs.” I said meekly, weakened by the sadness I saw in him. I walked in front of him, but he reached for my hand, his touch searing itself onto my skin.

We rode the elevator in silence both of us soaked. I unlocked my door, most of the flowers he had sent had died, but some still lived. He stood waiting leaning against the door. I kept my back to him. His very presence overtook my home. He walked over to me and stood inches from my body. I began to breathe heavier. My wet clothes making me shiver. My heart wanted to leap out of my body as Lukas stood behind me. His very being, pushing me to him, the sound of his breathing made my belly quiver. I closed my eyes and let my head fall to the side as he touched me ever so gently, leaving a trail of fire on my skin. He pushed my hair to the side leaving my neck bare, his fingers feathering the nape of my neck. He slowly took off my wet shirt. My cold skin trembled as his finger tips caressed my now bare back. He hesitated, waiting to see if I would stop him, but I wouldn’t, I couldn’t. He leaned in and placed soft kisses on my back, my head fell backwards and I let out a small moan.

That’s all it took to break him. He turned me around and placing his hands on my face holding me, looking into my eyes. He was searching.

“If you want this to stop, now is when you tell me or else from this point on Alexia you will belong to me and I will never let you go again.” He waited “Tell me what you want baby? Do you want this? Do you want us?” He eyes darted back and forth urging me to answer.

“I love you Lukas. I tried to stop, but I couldn’t. I love you.” His mouth was on mine instantly, demanding, hungry, lusting after me. His tongue branding me, his kiss was hard and unwavering, his lips taking back his ownership. My legs went weak as his hands held my face. He broke the kiss, his eyes full of desire and want. He growled low in his throat.

“Mine.” The very word made me feel like I was home again. He stripped us both of our wet clothes and picked me up taking me to my room.

He laid me down and kissed me again, but this time it was slow. His lips moving deliberating so he can taste me. I loved how gentle he was. He wanted to savour the moment. He lay on top of me looking only at my eyes.

“Keep them open.” He nudged his length between my wet folds.

“Look right at me Alexia.” I looked at him, my eyes fixated on his as he claimed me. He eased into me ever so fucken slowly. As he entered, he caressed my face. “I love you.” The words were so low, so careful that it soothed the throbbing pain in my heart.

That night Lukas took me over and over, reclaiming me, branding me as his again. My body and my heart finally felt at ease, happy and content, that I was at last home in the arms of the man I loved. But it was my mind that kept gnawing at me, telling me that I was being stupid.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked as I got up from bed. It was ten in the morning. My body ached from last night. I felt so good in his arms, but my mind was still nagging me.

“Alexia.” He stopped and stood up. His naked body was a thing a beauty. His tall muscular stature only added to the whole assemble as he walked over to me and pulled me into his warm arms. He kissed me gently on the forehead.

“We still need to talk. I can see that this is still bothering you.” He sighed only holding me tighter. I raised my hands slowly hugging him back. I wanted to be held longer, I let my body meld into his.

“I…” I hesitated, but decided to continue.

“I can’t see my face like I used to. I keep thinking that all you see is her, that all I am is this replacement, that your feelings are nothing but misplaced, left over from a past that I know nothing about.” He pulled away just enough to look at me.

“I don’t know what I need to do, but I’m going to do all that I can to show you that all I see is you, my Alexia.” He brushed my hair off my face and placed it behind my ear. “You are not a replacement. How can you be? You’re so unique and beautiful, you are all I ever wanted, all I ever need, all I ever dreamed of. You have it all, my mind, my heart, my soul, my everything. My most exquisite Alexia. My most precious one.” He tilted my head up to him, his eyes telling me he was speaking the truth.

I smiled knowing he was trying, knowing that the words he was speaking came from his heart.

“I know I hurt you.” He whispered as he leaned his forehead to mine. “I know I caused you pain and the trust you had in me has been broken, but know that I’ll do everything I can to make this up to you. To bring us back to where we were before all this happened.” I closed my eyes, gentle tears escaping.

“Going to that penthouse…” He stopped me.

“I sold it, everything, it’s all gone.” His breathing became heavy.

“You sold it?” I asked wary of what he was doing.

“I was holding on it thinking that if I had it that I would keep her alive somehow, but it only brought me more pain. Losing you was enough of a wakeup call. The past is just that in the past, you… I need you. You’re my drug. There’s
no way I can go a day without a single look or a touch.” He raised his fingers to my lips and ever so gently grazed them with his thumb. “Or your smile.”

I took a deep breath, trying to focus on what I wanted to say.

“Going to the penthouse, seeing all that I saw, you can’t imagine the pain it brought me, knowing that I wasn’t the one. Looking around I could see the memories you had with her. Lukas…” He shushed me. I looked away, but he raised his hands to my face, forcing me to look at him. He searched for my eyes and when we finally lock gazes, I could see his pained expression. He slid his hands underneath my body and picked me up taking me back to my bed and placing me on the edge, he knelt before me.

“Alexia.” His beautiful low voice cracked as tears began to fall.

“Finding you inside the penthouse, seeing your horrified face, the sickened look you gave me. I might not know the pain you felt, but the pain I felt seeing you so broken.” He lowered his gaze looking down.

“It was a living hell, knowing you were what I always wanted, but you were leaving me, I was losing you.” He sucked in air and exhaled deeply.

“Olivia made me feel normal and loved, but meeting you and knowing what I know now, you are the one, the only one. I realized now that I only cared for her, I sought her out for the feelings she brought me, but you? I’m in love with you. I’m crazy batshit in love with you. There is no one else, but you. I didn’t realize how much I was missing or how much I was lacking in my life or even how broken I was until you came, making me whole. You and I are one.”

My heart was mending itself as he spoke, whether or not it was true, I no longer cared. I wanted to believe him, my heart believed him, my soul believed him, but my mind still questioned him. I pushed it aside hoping it would go away. I reached for his face lifting it up to look at me. I could see the few tears that trickled down the side of his cheeks. He gave me a ghost of a smile and another tear fell. I wiped it away with my thumb. He closed the gap between us reaching for my lips, his tender kiss, easing the tension in my body. His lips moved purposely, his tongue swiping inside my mouth. His now not so perfect goatee made my lips raw, the skin of my face was tender, but it felt, oh so fucken good.

“Shower.” He said in between his lips as he kissed me. He pulled me from my bed taking me to my bathroom. My bathroom was not big like his so the space between us was limited. I smiled as I watched him try to move around. He smiled back and leaned into me, he reached behind me and turned on the shower, the hot water began to spray. Steam slowly began to rise filling the small space around us.

He turned me around making me face the mirror, my breath hitched. I looked away as he looked at me through my refection. “My Alexia.” He whispered in my ear. “Look at yourself, see what I see, you are you, my most precious one.”

He continued to kiss me leaving a trail of scorched skin. He pulled me into the shower and continued his punishing kisses, leaving me wanton. My hands found their way into his hair, I pulled and he growled. “Yes.” He grunted. He lowered his face to mine and kissed me, his lips demanding, pushing me for more. He pulled away, his eyes were full of desire and dirty thoughts. I smiled knowing I would love everything he was about to give me. He knelt down and lifted my leg putting it on the edge of the tub. He licked his lips and plunged his fingers deep inside me. “Hmmm, you’re still sore for last night.” He said as I winched. He smiled at me as I looked at him kneeling before me. I was completely high on the image of such a powerful and gorgeous man at my feet. “You like this?” He growled. “Yes.” I whimpered as he leaned forward letting his tongue find my swollen clit. I cried out.

God, he felt so good, as he softly sucked and licked me. He swept over me, over and over again. I was lost in the feeling he was giving me. He always took care of my pleasure, of what I needed and wanted. He always gave and never once asked for anything more than my love for him. I could feel myself being brought to the edge. He always brought me there, either he pulled me, pushed me, yanked me, or carried me, any which way he used. He always brought me to the edge. He knew how to play with my body like it was made only for him. “Cum.” He commanded. My body went limp and my mind blank, as I came. “That’s right baby.” He worked me until the very last spasm went through me. He stood, “open your mouth, taste yourself.” He offered his fingers and I licked them clean, he moaned as he watched me. I could feel his length hard against me. It was probing me, wanting to be inside. He turned me around. My back was now to him. “Lift your leg again.” He said in a low hoarse whisper. His voice made me lick my lips in anticipation. I raised my leg as he delved into me, no hesitation no warning. “Mine.” He grunted as he worked himself inside my swollen flesh. “God damn, you feel so fucken good baby.” His words only heightening how wet I felt. My pussy tightened around him, he growled in approval. “Yes, fuck yes!” He said over and over again. His fingers digging deep into my hips, his movements were no longer hard and deliberate. He became lost in his own search for his release. “Baby I can’t hold on, play with yourself.” His grit out. I moved my fingers finding my clit. “God, you look so sexy right now. Me riding you. You playing with yourself. Fuck baby.” His words only fueled my fingers to move faster, I loved it when he spoke to me like that. “Lukas” I muttered as I was about to cum. “Yes, yes, yes” He pushed himself hard into me, I clenched my wet flesh around him. He bit back a moan as he softened his thrusts, my pussy milking him to the very last drop.

I looked back to see him lost in his own ecstasy, his breathing coming back to normal, his body relaxing. He opened his eyes. A dark soft blue, peeked through. He watched me attentively. He was the one for me, my most precious one.

We dried off and lied in bed for the rest of the day. Tomorrow, I was back at work, I grew excited about it, until my phone rang, nearly waking Lukas up.

I saw the pic of Philip blowing me a kiss. I smile as I answered it.

“Yes love.” I said.

“Hey sweetie, just calling to see how you’re doing?” I smiled the sound of his voice made me giddy. I couldn’t wait to get back, especially now that everything between Lukas and I had been worked out.
