“I can tell Giovanni to go to hell if you want me to,” Alex said, amused, as Merrily finally unleashed her temper. He was amazed at her self-control. If he’d been as angry as Merrily appeared to be at this moment, he’d have punched Giovanni in the nuts.
Currently, Merrily was swimming laps. Repeatedly. Vigorously. She hadn’t said a word other than to ask politely if she could use the pool. She’d done so on a couple of other occasions after particularly nasty rounds with Giovanni, but this was the longest Alex had seen her go. She’d been at it for a solid hour. And counting.
When Merrily didn’t answer but instead kept swimming with her easy, sure strokes, Alex chuckled a little. Yeah, she was in a snit. Not that he blamed her. Giovanni had been testing her computer skills for two days now. It wasn’t the battery of tests she objected to. It was his superior attitude. The man was a condescending asshole when it came to his beloved machines. Unless Alex misjudged her greatly, his little Merrily was fast reaching the end of her patience.
It was time for her to turn to him to relieve her frustrations. Alex stripped and dove in to catch her with long, sure strokes of his powerful arms. All the while he grinned to himself. This was going to be fun.
* * *
Merrily had never been more frustrated and angry in her life. The nerve of that man! Giovanni was treating her like she was an idiot. He had a superiority complex that needed to be brought down just a peg or four. She’d been thinking as she took out her aggression on the pool, and had decided she was just the woman to take the son of a bitch down. Hard.
Lost in thought, she heard a distant splash but didn’t really pay that much attention. She was safe here in this compound of a house. Alex saw to that. Much as he’d first frightened and intimidated her, she had come to rely on him so much. He not only made her feel safe, but he made her feel like a beautiful, desirable woman. One he treasured. The combination was an addictive high she craved and wasn’t too proud to admit to.
Strong arms pulled her to a stop. Merrily didn’t even struggle. She knew who had her. Alex would never let anyone else near her. She went limp in his arms and was immediately rewarded with his lips nuzzling her neck.
“Good girl,” he praised. “Now. Do you really need to work off aggression this way? You’re wearing yourself out before we spend time with Rose. Not to mention you’ll be too tired to take care of me tonight.” His voice was laced liberally with humor.
“You find this funny?” Despite her relief at being in his arms for the first time since her session with Giovanni, her temper was still simmering.
“Absolutely not! I’m complaining. Thinking about castrating Giovanni so maybe he won’t be so territorial with his gadgets and gizmos.”
“He’s brilliant, but an ass.”
“Tell me something I don’t know.”
“OK,” she said, turning in his arms. “I’m going to take him down. How’s that?”
He chuckled. “You can try, baby. I’ll support you all the way, but Gio’s the best there is.”
“Asshole,” she muttered. “You all insist on thinking I’m some kind of kid, but I’m not. I know my way around computers.”
“Not saying you don’t, baby. Just saying, don’t expect to best Gio. That’s his realm, and in that realm, he’s a god.” Alex nipped her chin with his teeth. “Stick to what he tells you. Don’t try to best him. You’ll just end up even more frustrated and I’m not going to miss out on your body because you’re too tired from swimming laps.”
“Oh! Get off me!” She struggled to get out of his arms. Alex just chuckled at her. Chuckled! She kicked and punched him. Or tried to. The water hindered her feet and Alex dodged her arms easily. Before she realized it, he had her to the landing and sat her on the ledge. He pushed her back with a strong hand on her chest so that she lay back in the water, then lifted her hips with his big hands splayed across her ass. Instinct had her bracing her feet on the ledge long enough for him to hook the edge of her suit with one big finger and expose her pussy.
Merrily should have expected this, but it was still a surprise. Not an unwelcome one either. When he covered her sex with his mouth, Merrily cried out, her hand going to his head to fist in his hair. “God, that feels good!”
“Tell me what you want,” he ordered. “Tell me what you need.”
“With you?” She bit her lip. “Everything. No holds barred.”
Water lapped over her in gentle waves while Alex worked his magic between her legs. The longer he continued, the rougher he became. Merrily’s body responded, all her frustration and anger building into a different feeling altogether. She found she had those feelings inside her but, instead of exercising them to death in the water, she wanted to take it out in an aggressive round of sex.
With Alex.
He’d always been so gentle with her before. Merrily nearly sobbed at the thought he wouldn’t give her what she wanted. It would be so like him to think her too fragile for rough sex. He’d hinted at that very thing the first time.
As swiftly as she could, Merrily pulled her arms out of her swimsuit’s straps. Wiggling her hips, she shimmied out of the thing altogether with Alex’s help. Alex wrapped his arms around her thighs to hold her open and began to feast again. His groans were muffled once again when she lay back, but she could feel them against her sex.
With her feet braced on the ledge once again Merrily pushed her hips at him, grinding her cunt against his face as she needed. It wasn’t enough.
She pushed up, scooting back on to the ledge, took a deep breath, and dove over his head into the water. As she turned beneath the water, she saw him kick around to follow her movements. Before he could follow her, however, Merrily was on him, gripping his hips, wrapping her lips around his cock, and hanging on.
* * *
Alex had never been so shocked as he was when his little Merrily took his cock deep. Having her mouth on him beneath the water was, for some reason, one of the most erotic experiences of his life.
Her nails dug into his hips, a sexy little bite. The warm cavern of her mouth was a sweet haven he would never get enough of. He knew she had to be running out of air, so he gripped her shoulders and levered them both out of the water.
Laying back on the ledge, water still lapping around him, he let her work him. Merrily didn’t disappoint. She pumped the base of his cock while sucking until her cheeks hollowed, her tongue sliding up and down the ridge. The little vixen knew how to drive him crazy. In such a short time, she’d learned what she needed to do in order to take him up and over the edge quicker than any woman before her. The longer he was with her, the more he found he was helpless against her. When she wanted something, she made damned sure he gave it to her.
So what was she wanting now?
He was about to tell her to pull back so he didn’t finish too early when she seemed to read his mind, backing off but not pulling completely away. His dick throbbed in time with his heart. His balls tightened with every second. He took a couple of breaths, trying to calm himself, because he just knew she wasn’t finished and he was helpless to do anything about it.
Sure enough, she engulfed him once more, this time, moving her mouth up and down, her lips tight around his shaft.
“Fuck!” The expletive was ripped from his chest as his back bowed, arching off the ledge. The pressure! God, the woman was killing him! He wondered if she knew what she was doing to him then decided that was a stupid question. Of course she knew…
“Little minx,” he croaked out. He shoved her off him, stood, then scooped her up in his arms, taking her to the hot tub sunken into the padded floor around the pool. Once inside, he pulled her on top. In one swift movement, he was inside her. She gasped, clutching his shoulders.
Alex didn’t give her time to do anything else. He fisted his hands in her hair and took her mouth in a brutal kiss. He thrust his tongue deep, urging hers to tangle with him. With one hand he moved her up and down on his cock, the bubbling water sloshing all around them. Her body had been cool in the water of the pool. Now, she warmed with each thrust.
She’d started this. No holds barred. He could do all the things he’d been wanting to do to her since he’d first laid eyes on her.
Merrily took the rhythm he set and sped it up, letting herself drop fully on his cock. Sensation swamped him. The water tickling them. Steam surrounding them in a humid, tropical mist. The passionate woman in his arms, working his body with hers. The kiss…
With a yell, he whipped them both around, laying Merrily on the padded edge of the hot tub. Now that her body was no longer chilled from the cool pool water, he urged her further onto the mats. It wasn’t a bed, but it would be more than adequate.
* * *
Merrily was panting. Desire was a living, breathing thing in her world where only she and Alex existed. Her body was on fire! She needed him more than she needed to breathe. The brief time he’d fucked her in the hot tub wasn’t nearly enough. Not by a long shot.
She needn’t have worried. Alex followed her onto the mats and covered her with his big body. Seconds later, he shoved inside her, one hand holding her steady at her hip, the other spanning her throat as he began a hard, driving rhythm.
He bared his teeth at her. “Is this what you need, my Merrily?” He sounded gruff, almost angry. The contrast in the tone and the way he called her “my Merrily” was such a contradiction, but Merrily loved it.
“Fuck me, Alex,” she whispered. “Fuck my body hard!”
He did. With a brutal yell, he slammed into her over and over. She felt him swelling inside her, but he didn’t stop there. Didn’t come. Or let her come.
Instead, he flipped her over and pulled her back with a vicious yank. Merrily cried out at the sudden invasion, at the slight sting as his cock went deep. It was nearly enough to make her explode. The sharp slap to her ass told her she’d better not come yet even if Alex seemed to be incapable of actually saying that. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head to the mat and simply let him fuck her.
And fuck her he did.
Now, she understood. Alex had said she wasn’t ready for what he needed before. She hadn’t been. This side of Alex, this desire he had, was a brutal, animalistic need. It stunned her. Battered at her. Called to her on so many levels. She could barely process all she was feeling but knew she’d always cherish this revelation. This was a side of Alex she knew was there all along but hadn’t been ready to experience. He’d known she wasn’t.
She was glad she waited because the intensity of the emotions she was currently experiencing in combination with the physical sensations took her over. She bucked against him, meeting him thrust for thrust. The sounds of slapping flesh were loud in the vast room, echoing off the concrete walls along with their cries.
Alex continued to smack her ass occasionally, adding that erotic sting to the mix of sex and savage lust. He covered her body with his, snarling as he bit down on her shoulder. Merrily cried out, stiffening as his weight finally drove her flat to the mat.
Instead of fighting him, she embraced this savage act with a willingness that nearly terrified her. It was like her body was no longer her own. She was a slave to his masterful touch. A willing slave.
With his knees planted on the mat, he forced her legs wider as he plunged into her. His body weight pinned her tightly, her body there solely for his use. One brawny arm snaked around her waist, sliding down her belly until he found her clit. With thumb and finger, he pinched and tugged, rolling her needy little bud mercilessly until her body was a screaming mass of need.
The orgasm was near, she could feel it. Needed it. Strained for it with all her might.
“Now, Merrily,” he bit out next to her ear. “Come for me until your eyes roll back in your head!” When she cried out, he continued. “That’s it. Milk my cock. Show me how badly you need my cum inside you!”
She did. God, she did! Wanted him deep inside her where she knew he’d always be part of her.
“Alex,” she sobbed his name and let go. Her vision tunneled, the edges dotted with little pinpricks of light. Her hips jerked and her cunt spasmed, milking him. Enticing him to do exactly as he’d said. “Please, Alex!”
“You need my cum in you? Do you?” His snarled words triggered another orgasm for her and she screamed her affirmative. “Say it! Say it!”
“I need your cum in me, Alex. Right… fucking… now!”
Where Merrily found the courage to say those words she didn’t know. But she meant them. Meant them with everything inside her
“Then take it,” he rasped next to her ear. “Take it!”
With a brutal yell, Alex emptied himself inside her. Jet after jet of hot seed filled Merrily with warmth and contentment like she’d never known. He’d come inside her before, but never like this. Never with such brutal intensity.
And she loved every fucking second of it.
Finally, after another bellow to the rafters, Alex collapsed over her, his weight welcomed and satisfying. He lay there for several seconds, just breathing as if it were all he could to do take his next breath. When he rolled off her, taking her with him to cradle into his body, she was almost sorry. She loved his heavy weight on top of her. It was comforting as nothing else could be.
“Did I hurt you, baby?”
“Not at all,” she said, still catching her own breath. “It was magical. Exactly what I needed. “
“Don’t think I don’t know you maneuvered me into that.” His warm chuckle made her smile. “I wasn’t quite ready to show you my ruthless side yet.”
“Please. As if I didn’t know you were the kind of man to take what he wanted.”
“You know me pretty well, do you?”
“Uh huh. I’m getting to know your team, too.”
He stilled, pulling back as he gently turned her face toward him. “What does that mean?” He didn’t look angry or anything. Instead, he looked intrigued. Like he knew she was up to something. Apparently, he knew her as well as she did him.”
“Nothing.” She tried for a sweet and innocent smile but probably didn’t manage it.
“Right. Why do I have a feeling Giovanni is in for more than he bargained?”
“No idea,” she quipped, giving him her most brilliant smile. She hopped up and padded to the towel warmer, wrapping one around her. “Come on. I need to shower and get dressed. Rose will be out of school soon and I want to spend time with her. Come with me?”
“Always, baby. Always.”
