Teasing Lexi (Letting Go Series) (2 page)

The stone wall was scratchi
ng at her back and at her hands, its rough texture stimulating her nerves.  Dante moved her two wrists in to his one hand and slipped his other hand under her dress.  Not taking the time to tease her, his hand went straight to her swollen nub and flicked it hard.  Lexi almost screamed from the sudden thrill that shot through her body. 

Not being gentle in the slightest, Dante thrust two fingers inside of her at once and pushed his thumb against her clit.  Lexi’s body bucked at the sudden intrusion and Dante pushed his muscular thigh against her leg, pushing her hard back to the wall.

“You will learn to stay still.” Dante warned.

Lexi could only nod her head.

Dante’s hand was hard against her slick opening, her juices making his invasion easy.  He continued until her tight walls started to clamp down on his fingers.

“
Come now, Lexi.”

Without hesitation, her body reacted to his words and her orgasm rocked her body hard.  He continued to move his fingers inside her, drawing out her orgasm until she could do
no more than pant and slump in his hold.

As the waves of her orgasm began to slow down, Dante released her wrists, grabbed her thighs and hoisted her up
, pinning her to the stone wall, easily as if she weighed nothing at all.  She heard a foil wrapper crinkle and after he sheathed himself with a condom, he thrust his engorged cock in to her throbbing pussy. 

“I have wanted to do this with you since I first saw you at that party.” Dante’s voice was husky, his breaths coming fast.

Lexi grabbed him by the shoulders, digging her nails in to him as he pounded himself in to her.  Her back slapped against the cold stone as each thrust brought her closer to another orgasm.  Dante’s strong arms held her tight as she wrapped her legs around his waist using her ankles to push him deeper in to her.  They found their rhythm and she panted and quietly moaned as he grunted with each push.  She felt the ecstasy building up again and her body craved another release.

“Again.”  Dante
growled.  “Now.”

Shocking herself,
Lexi came for the second time.  Her body convulsed even harder this time and she felt her pussy clamp down on his shaft over and over.  Dragging her nails over his shoulders, she gripped as the exquisite feeling washed through her.  Dante slammed in to her again and again and on the third thrust, his own release came. 

His head ducked down against her shoulder as he caught his breath
, gently removing himself from within her.  He slowly released her legs, allowing her to stand once again.  Dante tucked his shirt in and removed the condom, quickly zipping himself up.  Lexi could hardly see anything at this point and her body started to shiver as the cool air whipped around her heated body.

Lexi
watched Dante, unsure of what to do or say at this point.  She’d been attracted to him before, but now that she saw his dominant side, she wasn’t sure how far she should go with him.  Dante leaned over, not meeting her eyes and gave her a chaste kiss on her cheek.  With that, he walked away, back inside and out of her life.

***

It has been three weeks since Lexi had been with Dante.  She wrestled with the memories of that night.  From their romantic dance to their hot sex session on the balcony.  What she didn’t get was why he just left her standing there, alone.  She had used plenty of guys and left them, but not like that. Not just standing there still recovering from mind-blowing sex.

What bothered Lexi even more was how she submitted to Dante every time he commanded her.  It was something that confused her mind but heated up her body at the same time.  All of her lovers had been, fun.  Some were interesting and willing to explore.  But not one ever had any control over her or her body.  Until Dante.
  For the first time, Lexi actually felt free, as if she could just let herself go and not have to be in control anymore.  That is what Lexi hungered for and that was why she had to find a way to see Dante again.

Lexi sat at the table waiting for Lacey to show up.  They were having their weekly lunch date and she could not wait to pump her friend for information on Dante.  Spying Lacey’s blonde head coming through the crowd that waited to be seated for lunch, Lexi waved her over.

“Hey, girl.  So sorry I am late.”  Lacey plopped down across from her.

“Nah, you’re not.  I was early.”  Lexi replied.  “So now the honeymoon’s over, how is married life?”

Lacey laughed.  “Lex, we’ve only been married three weeks.  The honeymoon isn’t going to be over for quite a while.”

Lexi chuckled and raised an eyebrow, “We’ll see.”

“Anyway, what happened to you that night?” Lacey sipped the ice water that was already on the table for her.

“What do you mean?”

“Lex, quit the act.  You know damn well what I mean.  At the reception.  You were all quiet and when I asked you then, you tried playing it off. And since then, you’ve been like a hermit.”

“Dante is what happened.”

“For real?  What happened with him?”

“To be honest, I’m not sure.  We went out on the balcony after dancing.  We were out there a bit and then he just walked away.”

“Well, what did you say?  I know sometimes you come on strong with guys.  Did you scare him?”

“Seriously?”  Lexi slammed her glass on the table.  “Why am I always the bad guy?”

The waitress interrupted them, breaking the tension.  They placed their order and waited for the girl to leave their table.  Placing a hand on top of Lexi’s Lacey gave a small smile.

“I’m sorry
, hon.  It’s just that you are very confident with guys and I think they don’t always handle it too well.”

“Well, that’s not the case this time.”  Lexi looked around, then leaned forward and said in a hushed tone, “he gave me some mind-blowing sex and then walked away without a word.”

“Shut the f…”  Lacey clapped her hand over her mouth, breaking off the expletive.

“Yeah, it was awesome and horrible at the same damn time.  Haven’t heard from him since.”

“Damn girl, I am so sorry.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in the dumps before.  Well, not over a guy anyway.  Usually just missing out on getting a hot pair of shoes or something.”

“Yeah, I know.”  Lexi watched the other people in the diner eating, laughing and enjoying life.  Lacey’s words caused the ache in her heart to grow.  She didn’t have any real aspirations in her life and her biggest dilemmas were always petty
shit like missing a sale on shoes or a new dress. 
Wow, that is shallow
. She didn’t expect it, but the encounter with Dante not only left her body aching for more, but her heart throbbing for something of value.

“Where’
d you go?”

“Huh?”

“Your eyes glazed over and you looked far away.”

“Just thinking.  Guess I am getting old and starting to feel like life should be worth something, you know?”

Lacey didn’t say anything at first.  She just nibbled at her fries.  Lexi looked down and realized that while she had drifted off in to her thoughts, their food had arrived.  Shoving some fries in to her own mouth, she chewed slowly, trying to keep her mouth busy.  Last thing she needed to do was confess how discontent she was in life.

“Lex, let me ask you something.”  Lacey looked apprehensive.  “Why do you sleep with so many guys?  Like, shit, that sounded harsh.  I mean, what do you get out of it?”

Lexi took a huge bite out of her cheeseburger and made her friend wait for the answer.

“I like the way they make me feel.  I just don’t want to get close to anyone.”

“You’re close to me,” Lacey watched her face carefully.

“Yeah, but guys
, Lace?  They just want to get off and not get emotionally involved.  That worked for me.”  Lexi shifted when she realized what she had said.

“Worked?” 
Damn she caught that
.

“Dammit
, Lacey, you know I hate talking about shit like this.”  Lexi squirmed.  Talking about her
feelings
only made her mad.  “Let’s just say, Dante gave me a taste of my own medicine and I hate him for it.”

Lacey nodded, but continued to eat her burger in silence.  She knew not to provoke Lexi in this area.

“Anyway, I felt cheap and used.  I’ve never felt like that before.  I mean, I’ve just never been that cold towards guys.  Even if it was in the bathroom stall at LaSalle’s, there was still some small talk, compliments, shit like that, afterwards.”

“But, he just walked away?”  Lacey knew she had said this already.

“Well, he gave me a kiss on the forehead and then walked away.  He didn’t look back.  He didn’t say, ‘that was fun’.  Nothing.”  Lexi felt the burn behind her eyes but shook it off.

“Do you want me to find out what his deal is?”  Lacey offered.

“Nah.  Why bother.  If he’d wanted more, he’d have said so.”

Lacey simply nodded.  Deciding it was enough, she jumped up and started talking about a new job she was contracted for, hoping that the change in subject would ease things.  Lexi took the cue and felt her body relax at the gesture.

Lexi sat at her desk pounding away at the keys on her laptop.  She had to finish the article before five pm.  Glancing up at the clock, she noticed she had barely a half hour before her boss would coming to her office to check that she had submitted the latest article for
Her Thoughts
Lexi’s column on the up and coming
A Single Woman’s Life
website.

This week’s article was about the solitude of living the single life.  Lexi had been doing a monthly piece about the night life of a single woman.  The other three week’s of each month, she posted about hair care, make up and other basic tips for single women.  For some reason, her monthly piece on dating was getting harder and harder to write.

“Online dating websites are a valuable resource for singles.  Of course, the cautions are always in place.  A single woman can show her true self while maintaining a sense of anonymity, but at the same time, there are those who will use that to their advantage.  Be careful out there
, ladies.  Be yourself, be true to your self and be sure that you read our article “Safe Tips For Internet Dating” before venturing out to that face-to-face meeting.”

Lexi gave a small smile as she sent the article to her editor’s email.  Not her best work, but without having gone on a single date in over 2 months, since her night with Dante, she felt relieved that she provided a useful piece of information for other single women out there.

“Miss Lambert?” Lexi’s boss, Mr. Pearson knocked on her open door.  She watched as the overweight man waddled inside.  He was a nice guy, but he over indulged in food and with his short frame and balding head, he looked more like a weeble than a man.  Lexi giggled inwardly at the thought of him wobbling side to side.

“Hi
, Mr. Pearson.  Just sent over my article to the editors.”  Lexi gave a small smile as she started to shuffle her papers in to piles on  her desk, giving the appearance of order to the mayhem that was her working space.

“Very good.  Before you leave for the weekend, I was wondering if I could talk to you about something?”  Mr. Pearson sat down in the rickety chair aside her desk.

Lexi’s stomach churned as she looked at her boss.  He seemed nervous and she began to wonder about the security of her job.

“Sure
, sir.” Lexi’s voice cracked.

“We’d like you to do a special piece.  It’s a bit risqué, but we feel it will boost revenue.  Since you are single, your perspective is bound to be
fresh and insightful.”

“Well, thank you
, sir.  I’m honored to be considered.”  Lexi wiped her sweaty palms on her jeans, tucked under her desk. 

Mr. Pearson’s face turned bright red as he took a deep breath.  “The place is, well…an erotic couples lounge.”

Lexi’s mouth dropped open.

“A…what?  What exactly is that?”

Mr. Pearson leaned forward, grabbing a sticky note and pen from her desk.  He scribbled on the paper and then stood up, slowly walking to the door.

“Check out the website and see what it’s about.  This article will be for your monthly dating piece, so you have one month to visit and write up your thoughts and…”  Again, Mr. Pearson’s face turned tomato red.  “…and your experiences there.  You can mention the name of
The Lounge in your piece.  In fact, they want that publicity.  Apparently, people who have never visited get the impression it’s a brothel or something.  It’s not.”

“Sir, I don’t know
…”

“Lexi, I would never put you in a dangerous situation.  This is more of a review piece than an expose.  They have a clean place with strict rules and they just asked if we could shine a little light on their establishment.”

Lexi looked at the name of the website on the piece of paper in her hands.  She noticed her hand shaking.
