NO SECRETS NO LIES (SIN CITY HEAT SERIES Book 3) (10 page)

Chapter 13

     Alexis let out a relieved sigh when she
walked through her front door and closed and locked it behind her. She went up
to her bedroom and sat down on the bed to wait for Amir's angry phone call but it
never came. She wouldn’t allow herself to admit that she was more than a little
disappointed. She didn’t even want to imagine what thoughts had gone through
his head when he came back downstairs and discovered her gone.

   
Coward.
Her mind supplied the word he
probably used because that's what she felt like. But she couldn’t and wouldn’t
allow herself to fall for Amir again. She knew if she slept with him, it would
be over.

     Hours later while still lying awake,
Alexis tried to use that thought to quiet her throbbing body that was still
screaming for Amir's touch. Unfortunately, her body had a mind of its own as it
continued to cry out its need for the rest of the night.

     The next morning, Amir fixed breakfast for himself and
Michael. He hadn’t been able to sleep a wink. Finally he’d gotten up and taken
a cold shower in the middle of the night, trying to get his dick to calm down.

     Amir hadn’t had sex since he found out
Alexis had moved to town. He had no desire for any other woman, which was a
rarity. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d gone this long without getting
some, but even now, the only woman he wanted was Alexis.
     Well, he hoped she enjoyed her little reprieve because
by the time he finished with her tonight, escaping would be the last thing on
her mind. Michael was invited to a birthday party followed by a sleepover. Amir
was going to drop him off at the theater later on today to meet up with the
other kids to catch a movie. After that, he Alexis Duvall would be having a
sleepover of their own - but very little sleeping would be taking place.

     By the time he and Michael got the day
started and ran some errands, the hours flew by. Once they made it back home,
it was time for him to get ready for his party. Amir was locking up when
Michael suddenly remembered he forgot his video game at his Mom's house.
     “Dad, please. You have to take me to get it. I’m the
only one in my class who has it and I promised everybody I would bring it
tonight.”

     Amir looked down at his son. “Michael,
you can’t tell me there aren’t other video games.”
     “No, I need this one. We can go online and play other
people and everything. Please Dad.” When Amir still hesitated, looking at his
watch, Michael added, “It sure would make it a lot easier if we all lived in
one house.”

     Amir tilted his head and narrowed his
eyes. This wasn’t the first time his son had said something like that. “Michael
–”

     “Just joking, Dad. Can we go now?”
     Amir sighed. “Fine. But we need to hurry if we’re
going to make it on time.”
     Michael smiled and ran to the car.

     Alexis looked at the clock and frowned. Michael was
supposed to call her before he left to go to the movies. It was almost three
o’clock now; the party started in thirty minutes. She had just picked up the
phone to call them when the front door opened.

     “Mom….”
     “Michael?” Alexis hurried to the foyer in time to see
Michael tearing upstairs to his room.  Amir stood patiently waiting with
his hands in his pockets.

     "I forgot my game," he called
down, never breaking stride.
      Alexis looked up after him for a moment shaking
her head before awareness of Amir suddenly hit her. Unable to put off
acknowledging his presence, she turned around, nervously twisting her hands in
front of her.
     “Hello.”
     “Hi Alexis. Sorry about this, but he insisted he
needed this particular game or the world was going to come to an end."
When Amir chuckled in amusement, Alexis stared at him in surprise. She hadn’t
expected him to be so...pleasant.
     “Oh…um… okay. No problem.” Feeling as if she should
explain her actions last night, Alexis cleared her throat. “Amir…”
     Before she could continue, Amir looked at his watch
then called out to Michael, interrupting whatever Alexis was going to say.
     “Mike...let’s go buddy. You don’t want to be late.”
     “Coming…” Michael flew down the stairs as if he had
wings. “Bye Mom.” He barely glanced at her as he raced out the door. “Come on
Dad!”
     Amir looked at Alexis and laughed. “I’ll talk to you
later. Enjoy your evening.”
     She watched as Amir backed his car out of her driveway
then slowly closed the door and leaned back against it. To say she was shocked
by his attitude would’ve been an understatement.
So much for the speech I
practiced...

    
Maybe the way things ended
last night didn’t bother him after all. Alexis knew she should be relieved.
Instead, she found herself strangely upset at the thought.

     A couple of hours later, Amir was still on Alexis' mind
as she got ready for a date with David. She had forgotten they were supposed to
go to dinner until he called to confirm the time. Alexis thought about
cancelling. She wasn't in the mood to go anywhere, but decided maybe she needed
to get out of the house. Besides, it would be nice to get a little attention,
especially after the way Amir acted towards her earlier.

     She ignored the voice that told her he’d
tried to give her some “attention” last night, but she was the one who'd run
off like a scared schoolgirl instead of staying and gettin’ her grown woman on.
But Alexis assured herself she'd made the right decision. She refused to be
added to the collection of women he was rumored to have scattered around
Atlanta. David was a gentleman. A little boring maybe, but at least he treated
her with respect.
     After applying scented lotion over every inch of her
body, Alexis walked over to the closet to find something to wear. She pulled
out an off white wrap dress that emphasized her hourglass shape and was getting
ready to put it on when the doorbell rang. Frowning, she looked at the clock on
her nightstand. Okay, David was a little bit too early. He'd have to wait
because she was nowhere being ready. Grabbing her robe, she hurried downstairs
to the door just as the doorbell impatiently chimed again.

     “Alright, alright!" she called out.
"David?”

     “It’s me.”
     Alexis froze when heard Amir’s voice. Her first
thought was that maybe something had happened to Michael. She quickly unlocked
the door and swung it open in a panic. 
     “What’s wrong??” The words rushed out of her mouth as
she thought about her son hurt and in a hospital somewhere.
     Amir shook his head and said quietly -
too
quietly. “Nothing's wrong. Michael's fine.”    

     Alexis closed her eyes and breathed out a
sigh of relief. “Oh, thank God!” She put her hand over her thumping heart.
After a moment, her eyes popped open. The air around them became thick with
heightened tension. “If Michael’s okay, then what are you doing here?”
     Amir walked inside without an invitation , forcing her
to take a step back if she didn’t want his body to brush up against hers.
     “Amir?”
      His intense, dark gaze held her rooted to the
spot while he calmly closed the door then locked it. Alexis took another step
back. Amir followed with one of his own. His eyes skimmed over her flimsy
attire. “You were expecting David dressed like that?”
     “I was getting dressed to go somewhere….” The sentence
trailed off when her eyes dropped down to watch his fingers undo a button on
his shirt. “Wait. What are you doing?”

     Alexis moved back on unsteady legs. Amir
advanced, matching her step for step as the next button came undone. “Stop
that!” He slipped another one open. “Amir, I mean it!”
     Finally, he got to the last one.  Alexis held a
hand up and stumbled when she felt the bottom stair under her foot. Before she
could catch herself, she tripped backwards, landing on the third step up. 
     Towering over her, Amir took his shirt off then
unbuckled his belt.  Alexis swallowed hard and tried not to notice how
ripped and muscular his chest and arms were. He had been fine ten years ago,
but now as a grown ass man he was definitely getting his sexy on.

     “Tonight, there won't be any interruptions.
Michael’s safe and at his friend’s house for the night - I called to check on
him before I came over - and you don’t have anywhere to run.”

Chapter 14

     Alexis lifted her chin and stared at him. She’d be damned
if she let him know how much he affected her. “I’m not afraid of you, Amir. I
just don’t want to sleep with you,” she lied.
     Amir smiled at the obvious untruth and unzipped his
pants. Alexis’ eyes stretched wide, and abandoning her bluff, tried to
backpedal up the steps. Her foot caught the edge of her robe and pulled it open
to expose her naked body. The smile disappeared from Amir’s face as he soaked
up every inch of her sexiness he was blessed to witness.
     “Shit….” he whispered.

     Alexis' attention dropped to the bulge in
his pants that was prominently displayed. She turned to scramble up the stairs,
but Amir caught her arm and pulled her back. Alexis' eyes flashed like a
cornered animal. Before she could scream for him to get his hands off her,
Amir's mouth covered hers, wild and hungry. His tongue erased any words of
protest she'd been about to make. Without giving herself a chance to think,
Alexis wrapped her arms around his neck and brought his body down to cover
hers.
     She tore her lips away from his and desperately sucked
air into her lungs. She let out a sound of pure torture when his hand covered
her breast. Amir ripped the robe the rest of the way off and lowered his mouth
to devour her other breast like a starving man. His tongue snaked out to lick
her pouting nipples, making her back arch off the steps. Alexis brought her
hand to the back of his head and pushed her breast further in his mouth.
     “Mmmm…that’s feels so good,” Alexis whispered.
     Amir slipped a hand between her legs and felt the
velvety slickness her body had created. She was so wet, hot and tight around
his fingers. Mumbling incoherently around her flesh, Amir lightly caressed her
clit. Alexis' begged him not to stop, that he was driving her crazy.
     “That’s right, baby. I wanna hear how much you like
it.”
     Alexis didn’t need any urging, especially when he
licked a trail down her stomach which put him on the path to the spot that was
presently causing her so much frustration.
     He spread her legs wide and nipped at her sensitive
inner thigh. Alexis whined in need, and reached down to direct his mouth where
she needed it to be. Amir laughed softly and gave her what she wanted.
     He flattened his tongue against her opening and licked
up to her clit, feeding
 
off of what her
body unselfishly offered. He was thirsty for every bit of her honey. Using his
lips, tongue, and teeth, he ate her pussy like a rare, exotic fruit he couldn’t
get enough of. Alexis wantonly fucked his mouth, circling her hips in a figure
eight pattern to meet the firmness of his tongue. Her first orgasm hit hard,
causing her cream to erupt from her walls. Amir pulled her closer to make sure
he didn’t miss a drop.

     Alexis blindly reached up for something
to hold on to, and when her fingers came in contact with the wooden balusters,
she clutched the one nearest to her and desperately fought to keep from passing
out. The feeling was so strong, so powerful...so
intense!
Where she'd
been pulling him closer a moment ago, Alexis was now trying to back away from
the eager workings of his mouth, but Amir held her thighs firmly apart and
feasted until he brought her to another orgasm.

  
 No one had ever satisfied
her the way Amir had. He’d been the first man to introduce her to the pleasures
of sex, and she'd never reached that level of satisfaction again - until now.
     Amir kissed her opening one last time before sitting
up and removing the rest of his clothes. Alexis' breathing increased. Her eyes
latched onto the thick girth and length of his dick as Amir rolled the condom
over his shaft. It jerked slightly in anticipation as if answering a call of
duty.
     "Turn over baby.” Amir’s voice was gruff and
impatient; he'd waited so long for her. Once Alexis positioned herself on her
hands and knees, Amir moaned in appreciation at the enticing sight of her
voluptuous ass on display for his viewing pleasure. Her hands were a couple of
steps above where her knees rested. With one hand on her hip, Amir nudged her
thighs open with his knee and ran a finger over the liquid heat that saturated
her femininity.
     “Amir, please…I want you so bad,” she whispered,
looking over her shoulder at him.

     The picture she made was unknowingly
seductive. Hair wild and tousled, eyes dark and heavy lidded and her lips
swollen from his rough kisses…the image was burned into his memory and it
snapped the last bit of control he'd been fighting to hold on to.

     Tightly grasping her hips, he drove home
and impaled himself into her with a deep, searching thrust. Amir’s face
contorted as her pussy swallowed his dick whole. For almost two months, ever
since he'd seen her at Soul and Sharon's house, he laid awake night after
night, remembering...trying to imagine how it would feel now to be buried
inside of her. His imagination didn’t even come close to the real thing.
