The Alpha Male Romance Boxed Set (5 page)

She gave him a moment to answer and when he didn't she continued. "Jenny is driving me home this morning." He began to protest but she raised a hand to silence him. "She is driving me home and you are going back to your place. Tonight is our night off so you'll come over and you'll tell me what you're going to do to make this right, Alex."

Before he could respond the horn of the patrol car blared. Looking out into the car he noticed Constable Torrance waving frantically mouthing:
get your ass out here.

"Shit," Alex growled, frustrated that the criminals of the city couldn't give him at least ten minutes to settle his own problems. "I'll be at your place at seven and I swear to you Jade, I
will
fix this." he pulled her into his arms, but instead of a warm embrace, she was stiff and emotionless. "I swear, I'll make it up to you," he whispered into her hair before turning and rushing out of the door and hopping into the car.

His partner rattled off the address as he put the car into gear.

"So what are you going to do?" the older cop asked en route to the crime scene.

"Something that is going to make me a laughing stock of the precinct, I imagine." Alex grumbled. He knew there was only one way to end it with her once and for all. He dreaded sacrificing his pride and doing what needed to be done, but he'd rather take a blow to the ego than lose the best thing that had ever happened to him.

Jade paced her apartment waiting for 7pm to arrive. She missed Alex already. His side of the bed had felt so vacant when she awoke. It had been less than twenty-four hours and her whole body seemed to ache for him.

But he'd lied to her. Lied to her face, repeatedly. That hurt. All he had to do was tell her the truth, why lie to her? To protect her, but protect her from what? From some coffee chucking lunatic? Well, she would have been better equipped to deal with 'crazy girl' had she been forewarned.

At five minutes to seven the buzzer sounded from downstairs. Alex had his own key to the door and to her apartment, but she supposed he was a little shy about presuming she'd allow him the liberty of letting himself in.

"Who is it?" she asked, depressing the talk button.

"It's me."

"Okay, I'll be right down." It was yet another beautiful night so she didn't bother with a jacket; deciding her simple spaghetti strap red sundress was all she really needed. Grabbing her small matching handbag she made her way down to meet him.

As usual, as she came out of the elevator and saw him standing outside waiting for her, her heart skipped a beat. He gave her a hesitant smile which only slightly showed the dimples that she'd grown to love. As usual, he was wearing his favourite faded blue jeans with a t-shirt which hugged his lean torso. Her mind took her back to several nights ago when she'd traced with her fingertips the contours of his perfectly defined abs and a heat rose up between her legs at the thought.

She was tempted to give him a genuine smile, because in truth she'd already forgiven him, regardless of what his plan was to fix the problem. But still... it didn't mean she couldn't let him suffer a while longer. It was the least he deserved for lying to her.

Stepping out of the building, she gave him a hug. It was meant to be brief, but the feel of his hard body as she fell into him, seemed to beg her to stay there, basking in the tender warmth of his embrace.

"I'm so sorry," he whispered into her ear. "But I've fixed it and you'll never hear from her or about her again. I swear to you."

Looking up into his worried, green eyes she could see the truth in them, and the affection. They'd never verbally said 'I love you' - yet, but it was so evident in his eyes that she didn't need to hear the words.

Jade nodded. "Alright. Where are we going?"

His smile, though still slightly hesitant, widened. "I have a surprise for you."

Her curiosity peaked and her plan of making him suffer a little longer faded away. "What is it?"

Opening the passenger door to the Jeep, he helped her in. "You'll have to wait and find out, won't you?"

Jade groaned and rolled her eyes, though inside she was giddy. Over the past month, she'd discovered that Alex wasn't the most romantic of men, but when he
did
decide to do something special he went all out, making his little lapses tolerable.

They drove in silence, but within five minutes of leaving the apartment complex parking lot she knew where they were going. "The park?" She cocked an eyebrow at him. They hadn't been to the park since that first memorable date.

"Yup, but I thought I would tell you what I did before we get there, to get it out of the way and so we can enjoy the evening." He shot a glance at her to confirm she was on board with that idea.

Jade nodded. "Alright."

"I've had issues with Nadine since we split. She just doesn't stop. She wants me back, and won't let anyone else be with me. It's a usual routine with her. I've asked her to stop the harassing, the following, the..." he hesitated as if embarrassed, "the stalking, but it hasn't worked. I've tried outright ignoring her and she only doubles her efforts. Today I filed for a restraining order and I'm taking you to the precinct tomorrow to file one as well. It's the only way to make her see that I'm serious." He took her hand, "We're serious. However, it also makes me look very bad. A cop filing for a restraining order from his ex earns something of a snicker around the water cooler, as you can imagine."

Squeezing his hand, Jade gave him a sympathetic smile. She supposed it would be a blow to his ego. And she realized it must have been hard for him to go there and admit that there was a situation in his own life he needed help with.

Pulling into the park parking lot, Alex shut off the Jeep and then turned in his seat to look at her. "Are we okay?"

Jade nodded and gave him a smile. "We're okay."

"Great. Now for your surprise." He kissed her quickly and then slipped out of the Jeep rushing to her side to let her out.

Neither one spoke until they were almost at the overlook and then he stopped and pulled a scarf out of his front pocket.

"What are you planning to do with that?" Jade asked eyeing the strip of satin suspiciously and then lifting her eyes back to him.

Following her gaze he chuckled. "No…no. Well at least not yet." He wiggled his eyebrows at her, which caused her to roll her eyes and giggle. Damn it if this man wasn't under her skin; she both loved and hated that he was.

Stepping behind her, he covered her eyes with the soft material and adjusted it so she had no vision. She yelped her surprise as he suddenly lifted her into his arms and held her tight to his chest, walking the rest of the way with her nestled securely in his arms.

Jade slipped her arms around his neck and rested her head against his chest, soothed by the sound of his rapidly beating heart. The smell of his spicy cologne assaulted her nostrils and called to her. Lifting her mouth, she placed a light kiss on his neck and then smiled at the sound of a low growl coming from him.

"Behave until we get there," he chided which only spurred Jade on rather than stopping her.

Minutes after picking her up, he stopped and slowly lowered her to her feet. He stood behind her and faced her in the direction he desired. Once she was positioned he removed the blindfold and all Jade could do was gape at the sight before her.

"It's beautiful," she finally managed to choke out. Sometime before he came to pick her up Alex must have come here and set up the most romantically breathtaking picnic she'd ever seen. A checkered blanket lay on the ground with a wicker picnic basket and a bottle of wine chilling beside it. Tiki torches were lit and the red and orange fire licked at the near-night sky. A large bouquet of roses and chocolates also sat waiting for her on the blanket.

Slipping his arms around her waist, Alex buried his face in her neck. He kissed his way from her collarbone to her earlobe. Each kiss sent a chill through her and by the time he had made it to her ear, her pussy was a raging inferno of need for him.

"I was going to get a mariachi band, but I thought that would be a little bit of overkill."

Jade laughed and swiped at a tear that was threatening to escape. "No, this is perfect."

"I love you Jade."

Closing her eyes, Jade sighed and basked in the feel of his arms around her as she tossed his words around in her mind. She knew he did, had felt it weeks ago, but to hear him say the words so softly in her ear while she looked upon what he'd done to make her happy, was overwhelming.

Looking up at him, she touched his strong chin with her fingertips and urged his lips to hers. "I love you too," she whispered against his lips.

His lips came crashing down onto hers with a hunger that took her breath away. Slipping her hand around the back of his neck, she kissed him back with a passion equalling his. She could feel his shaft growing rapidly against her bottom and her body began to rock against his, her rear rubbing against the ridge of his cock through the layers of clothing.

"Jade," he groaned against her mouth, "Do you want to eat…?"

"Later." Turning in his arms, so she was facing him, she flattened her body against his and gazed into his eyes. "I missed you being there when I woke up."

He slipped his hands up her thighs, hooking his thumbs into the thin waistband of her panties and pulling them down. They fell to the ground and she kicked them off. She'd find them later, she told herself. Or not, they were of little concern to her at that moment.

"Oh, I know - I missed you, too," he informed her, backing her towards the blanket.

As she reached the edge of the blanket she sat down, reclining back on her elbows. Looking up at him towering over her, she caught her lip between her teeth and shot him a coy grin. "Was it me, or this..." she parted her legs and slipped her skirt up to reveal her moist pussy to him.

Hunger flared up in his eyes as he lowered himself to the blanket next to her and ran his fingertips up her leg, starting at her knee and slowly inching his way up. "Would you be angry if I said both?" His lips caught hers again, his tongue slipping past her lips as she moaned.

Her body was on fire in anticipation of him. Each inch his hand crept higher, the higher the flames within her soared. By the time his fingers reached her pussy lips, she could feel her juices seeping from her and making their way down her ass to the blanket under her.

Slipping a finger between her folds, Alex stroked her from her ass to her clit. He paused at her clit to circle and tease the swollen nub. Jade clutched onto his biceps as he stroked her. Just when she thought she couldn't take another moment of his sweet torture, he stopped and pulled his hand away despite her whimper of protest.

Nudging her over to her stomach, he positioned himself behind her. Grabbing her hips he urged her up on her hands and knees in front of him and then slid her loose flowing skirt up over her rear. Jade shivered as her wet pussy became exposed to the night air.

As she bucked and moaned at the feel of his hand stroking her so masterfully, she heard the sound of his zipper coming undone and the rustle of clothing. She wiggled her ass, tempting him.

"So impatient," he scowled, replacing his finger with the head of his shaft and running it slowly - too slowly - up and down the length of her.

"Please." Her body was vibrating and her stomach in knots as she waited to be given her much needed relief.

After running his dick up and down the length of her slit from her ass to her clit and then back again, he settled it at the entrance of her throbbing core. She backed up against him in an attempt to impale herself on his thick shaft.

Slowly - excruciatingly slowly - he inched his way into her. Each time she attempted to buck against him to drive him in deeper he'd pull away. His torment and teasing was both arousing and frustrating. Then suddenly - to her relief - he gripped tight to her hips and pulled her tight against him, impaling her completely. She cried out as his thick shaft filled her to her limits.

He held himself tight into her for a long moment, until her bucking against him became too insistent for him to resist her any longer. When he began moving inside of her his pace was fast and hard, pulling himself out nearly completely before ramming himself into her fully again; the head of his hard, thick cock stroking her inner wall. With each inward thrust her whimpers and cries became louder.

Quickly and suddenly she was overtaken by her first orgasm. She cried out his name and fisted the blanket under her as her pussy clenched and then she released her juices over his cock. But he was relentless, not allowing her a moment to recover and before she had a chance to take a breath of relief she found herself rapidly ascending the summit once more.

"Come on sweetie, I want to feel you coming on me again."

Higher and higher he was taking her, and she couldn't get enough of it - of him. The combination of his cock filling her so beautifully and the faint sound of his balls slapping against her soft, wet flesh had her begging and crying out for release.

Slipping his hand between her legs, his fingers began stroking her clit. He'd only had his fingers on her clit for a matter of seconds, before she felt another intense wave crash over her, running down her spine and coming to a final explosion between her legs.

"My God Jade, I don't think I can last any longer," Alex groaned, thrusting into her harder and faster than before.

"Come... for... me... Alex!" she managed to gasp out between thrusts. Each inward thrust was sending a jolt of pleasure through her. As much as she loved the feel of him, she longed to feel him shoot his warm cum deep into her.

Several more thrusts and she felt his cock go from rock hard to granite inside of her; it seemed to be throbbing inside of her. Just before he came he grunted, pulling her tight onto him and released, filling her completely with his seed. His final thrust and the feel of his warm cum filling her pussy set her off and she found herself going numb from the pleasure.

Feeling light-headed and weak from her orgasms she collapsed onto the blanket with Alex flopping down next to her. Still panting she allowed herself to be pulled into his arms. Once her breathing and heart rate went back to normal she cuddled in tightly to his side and looked up at him.

Alex raked his hand through her hair, watching the long brown strands fall slowly from his grip. "I was also giving something else some thought."

"Uh-huh," she murmured against his neck, flicking the flesh with her tongue.

"Mmmm, stop that or I'll never finish what I have to say."

Grinning Jade looked back up into his loving eyes. "Sorry."
