Not So Silent Night (2 page)

Anna arched back, and Alexander brought his mouth to her breasts, devouring her as he pumped faster into her, bringing her to new heights with each thrust. She came again just when Alexander threw his head back and virtually howled when he climaxed. For a moment Anna swore something strange happened with his face, but he kept thrusting into her until she screamed herself and she felt too good from so many orgasms to care about what she might have witnessed.

“Wow,” was all Anna could think to say as she leaned back on her worktable. The same worktable her grandmother had made flower arrangements at for years, but where she herself had just had the best sex of her life.

“Wow indeed,” Alexander said as he pulled her up and kissed her, holding her tightly next to his chest. She felt him nuzzling her hair with his cheek and sniffing her hair. “There is something different about you; I have never acted so out of control with someone I just met before.”

Anna sighed. “Well this is not exactly a regular occurrence in my life, either. Oh God, if only my grandmother could see what we just did on her worktable.” Suddenly she laughed. “Actually she was such a free-spirited hippy she would probably approve and say it was about time.”

Alexander chuckled. “Then she sounds like someone I would have liked to meet.” He kissed her passionately. “I have to see you again. I have to meet my family, but later tonight can I see you again?”

Without a second thought, Anna answered, “Yes.”

“Give me your address. I can meet you after dinner with my family, once they return to the lodge.”

“I live upstairs, but I need to go grab something to eat too. I can meet you over at the Sidewinder’s Bar and Grill when you are done. I can eat and maybe play some pool or whatever until you show up. Got to keep myself distracted while waiting for you.”

Alexander smiled and nodded. “As long as I get to see you tonight.” He reluctantly let her go and helped her off the table. As they began to get dressed, he added, “Make sure you eat a good meal. I plan on keeping you up all night.”

“I will keep that in mind. By the way, you owe me some new panties.”

They quickly dressed and Anna finished the arrangement for Alexander’s mom. She felt slightly wrong charging him for the flowers after what had just transpired, but a girl had to keep a shop afloat. They then solidified their plans to meet up at Sidewinders after Alexander had his mother’s birthday dinner with his family at one of the nicer restaurants in town.

As Alex climbed in his rental car and drove away, Anna decided to just walk the two blocks to the bar and grill, dropping off her day’s deposit at the bank along the way. It was the local hangout and she was sure to see some friends there who would help her pass the time. Unfortunately, she would probably see the new owners there as well, Blake Owens and his brother Clay, both of whom hit on her mercilessly no matter how many times she rebuffed them. She shook her head and pushed those two out of her mind as she relived what had just happened with Alexander. She had never felt drawn to a man the way she was drawn to her mysterious Russian. Not even Ryan, whom she had thought was her one and only soul mate.

Sure enough, the moment that she walked into the bar, Blake was all over her, helping her take her jacket off and standing excessively close as usual. However, this time he abruptly pulled back from her after she swore he sniffed her hair. “What have you been up to, dear Anna? You don’t smell of your usual flowers and sweetness.”

Anna blushed, realizing that she hadn’t showered and probably did smell of sex, but she certainly wasn’t discussing any of this with Blake. “Just missed my shower this morning,” she answered as she headed for the bar to order.

While she ate, she noticed Blake in a deep conversation with his brother. Clay kept eyeing her and then shaking his head. She wondered if she was so easy to read, if they had figured out she had just had sex. She sensed that they had and it pissed her off. Still, she didn’t understand why they would take her sex life so seriously. It wasn’t as if she would ever date either one of them and she had made that abundantly clear. Since the moment she had met them, they had given her the creeps. The little warnings in her head told her to keep them at a distance, and she was trying.

Soon her best friends in town, Rachel and Kevin, showed up and she was too busy having fun to pay any attention to what Blake and Clay were talking about. Playing pool, having some beers, the time just seemed to fly by. Especially after Rachel got her to spill about why she looked so happy.

Once she finished telling a slightly more demure account of meeting Alexander, Rachel giggled. “You dirty little hussy. About damn time!” Kevin just chuckled along with his wife, both of them clearly happy that she had gotten lucky after a drought of epic proportions. “I can’t wait to meet this Russian stud when he gets here!”

Anna blushed. “Please don’t say anything to embarrass me and scare him off! He’s Russian; he’s probably not used to our crude senses of humor.”

Kevin cackled again. “He can’t be a prude, he just gave it to you good in your workroom.”

Rachel went into hysterics with her husband’s last comment.

Just then, a hush overtook the entire bar. Anna turned and saw Alexander had walked in and nearly every head in the bar had turned towards him. He was quite the striking sight, but there was something strange about the way the Owen brothers and their band of friends went stiff at the sight of Alexander. He seemed to sense something himself, for he turned and looked at them before deliberately turning his back on them and walking over to Anna and her friends.

He pulled Anna to him and kissed her as if they had been lovers forever. “I hope I didn’t keep you too long.”

“I somehow managed to survive, but just barely.” Anna teased, before turning to her friends. “These are my best friends, Rachel and Kevin. Guys, this is Alexander.” She gave them a warning look as they both snickered slightly.

Kevin stuck his hand out. “Nice to meet you, man. Heard some good stuff about you from Anna.”

Rachel started to giggle again as she too offered her hand to Alexander. “Yes, it really is nice to meet you.” She went into hysterics when Anna slapped her and pushed her away.

“Sorry about my friends. They are, well I don’t know if there is a good word to describe them.” She shrugged and looked up into Alexander’s amused eyes.

“They are charming. So, you have been talking about me?”

“You might have slipped into the conversation. I had to say who I was waiting for after all.” Anna blushed and shot Rachel a look before she said whatever dirty comment was on her mind.

He chuckled as he turned toward her friends, “I hope you don’t mind if I steal your friend for the rest of the night.”

“Please, steal away. She needs to have some fun with a mysterious Russian now and then.” Rachel cackled out right. However, the merriment stopped when the Owen brothers approached in a menacing manner.

“Who’s your new friend here, Anna? Haven’t seen him around here before,” Blake said, pushing right up and stepping in front of Alexander.

“Because he is visiting from out of town, not that it is any of your concern, Blake. Besides, we were just leaving. So if you will excuse us.” She grabbed Alexander’s hand and pulled him toward the door. For a moment, she swore Blake and Clay were going to stop them; their eyes seemed to be black with anger. Worried, she looked up at Alexander, whose own eyes seemed darker and fiercer. She thought she heard some sort of growl come out of him right before the Owen brothers backed down and let Anna lead the way out of the bar. She didn’t even put her coat on as they left, just grabbed it on her way out the door. Alexander was nothing but a ball of tense muscles beside her and she knew that if they lingered, a fight would ensue.

She nervously held her breath until they were safely in Alexander’s rental car and driving the couple of blocks back to her store and home. “I’m so sorry about them. I don’t know what the hell all of that was about. Sure, the Owens are a bunch of jerks, but I have never seen them act so rudely before. I thought we were going to have to fight our way out of there. And we were certainly outnumbered, even with Kevin and Rachel.”

Alexander reached over and took her hand. “I would not have let anything happen to you. I know their type well and I would have protected you.”

“Well, you certainly are a big guy and all, but there were more of them. They all run in a pack around here. The jerks all seem to stick together.”

“Their kind always do,” Alexander said tensely.

She and Alexander were already back at her shop and he pulled the car around and parked next to her van. He got out and opened her door before she realized it. “Let’s forget about them for tonight. I want to recapture what we experienced earlier. The need, the desire. I won’t let a pack of wolves sniffing around get in the way of what you and I have.”

The moment she found herself in Alexander’s strong arms again, Anna too began to forget about the strange interaction between the town’s good old boys and her new lover. All she could think about was getting him upstairs and into her bed. She fumbled for her keys in her purse and unlocked the door, practically running up the back stairs, taking her clothes off as she did. She turned to kiss Alexander and noticed he was still at the door, making sure all the locks were in place. Feeling slightly annoyed he was more concerned about the doors being locked than getting her naked, she called down to him, “Are you coming up here or am I going to have to take care of myself?”

That seemed to get his attention, for he bounded up the stairs, two and three at a time, and soon had her pressed against the wall, kissing her with even more passion than earlier in the evening, if possible. “Oh, I promise I will take care of you many times tonight. Just want to make sure we are not disturbed.” He kissed her again before she could reply. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist as they stumbled inside her apartment.

Anna had already kicked off her shoes and taken off her sweater. Now she was working on removing Alexander’s clothes. He, however, was already devouring her breasts, literally tearing apart her bra with his teeth to get at them better. She was just as eager to get at him. They barely made it into her entryway, where he pushed her against the wall and started pulling her pants off, all the while nipping and sucking her breasts until she thought she would go insane.

Alexander sat her down and took his mouth from her breasts as he got her pants off, and ripped his own clothes off as quickly as possible. “I have thought of nothing but you all night. You have bewitched me somehow, but I like it.”

At the word bewitched, Anna stiffened despite the desire flowing through her. How could be possibly know, she wondered to herself. However, the thought soon flitted out of her mind as Alexander lifted her up and thrust into her in the same motion, filling her completely. She screamed in pleasure and dug her hands into his shoulders, her nails drawing blood, but it only seemed to make her lover hotter. “You drive me insane with desire,” he said as he pounded her into the wall.

Apparently not able to get as much leverage as he wanted, Alexander let out a huff of frustration as he picked her back up, carried her the short distance to her kitchen, and sat her down on the table before pulling her legs up onto his shoulders. The new position opened her up so he could plunge even deeper into her. Anna arched her back, clawing at the table, not able to contain the sensations of bliss running through her body. She screamed incoherent sounds as she came, just as her lover threw his head back in pleasure with a visceral growl.

After letting her legs down, Alexander leaned his entire body over her and kissed her with passion. “I do not see how it is possible for me to ever get enough of you.”

“Same here,” she panted. “Maybe one of these times we will make it to a bed.”

He laughed. “That can be arranged. Round two there? Just point the way.” Scooping her up in his huge arms as if she weighed nothing, he proceeded down the hall, following her pointed finger towards her bedroom. They were kissing and making out like teenagers the entire time.

Just as Alexander was reaching down and to open the door to her room, they heard loud howling outside, like more than one wolf was out, sitting right outside her shop. Alexander stiffened. “It’s okay; we have wolves around these parts. I think they like my alley. I usually hear one outside my window at night, but I have never heard this many.”

She slipped out of Alexander’s arms, went to her bedroom window, and peeked out. An entire pack of six to seven wolves was howling up directly at her window. She felt the tension radiating off Alexander as he peered down at the wolves from behind her. “Like I said, we see wolves a lot around here, but a whole pack is a little weird.”

She turned her back on the window and wrapped her arms around her sexy Russian. “But I don’t really care about wolves tonight. I don’t know how long I am going to have you. I want to make sure that I use all of the time I have to my advantage.” She kissed him with as much passion as she could. Slowly the tension in Alexander’s body began to fade and the lust and desire took over as he kissed her back.

Sensing how much the wolves still bothered Alexander, who knew Russians were scared of American wolves, she pulled him to the bed, her hand stroking him and making him hard as she did. “I think I have something in mind a little more interesting than staring at wolves.”

She pushed him roughly onto her bed, crawling on top of him. She positioned herself so that she could take him into her mouth, but also so he could taste her as well. She wiggled her ass above him, and then lowered herself to his mouth, begging to be licked and sucked. The sight of her wet and throbbing pussy right in his face seemed to make Alexander forget all about the strange wolves as he enthusiastically delved into her, attacking her slit before pulling her wide and sucking on her clit as if in a frenzy. She really started to suck him harder and take him deeper into her mouth, picking up her rhythm and driving him over the edge just as he did the same for her.
