The Things I Do for You (The Alexanders 2)

“It’s your fault, you know?” Nick kissed her jaw. “If you weren’t so beautiful, I wouldn’t be so distracted all the time.”

Raina chuckled. “I never thought I’d say this, but keep lying to me. I know I look awful because I feel like such a mess.”

Nick kissed her neck and took the strap of her nightgown between his teeth. He moved it to the side so he could reach the soft skin on her shoulder.

“Nick? What are you doing?” Raina let out a soft sigh as he nipped her shoulder with his teeth, then soothed the spot with his tongue.

“I’m making love to my wife.” Nick thanked whoever had invented spandex because the straps of her gown were stretchy enough for him to push them down over her arms. With a few more tugs, her breasts popped out. They already looked fuller. Rounder.

He licked the tips gently, aware that they might be more sensitive. Raina let out another soft sigh, her nails digging into his arm. “God, I love it when you do that.”

He continued downward, tugging the gown with him as he went. She lifted her hips, allowing him to slide it off. He tugged at her white cotton panties next. Finally she was bare before him. He licked her and she reared up off the bed.

“You really are more sensitive, aren’t you? Oh, the fun I’m going to have with you.”

Nick moved closer, wrapping her legs around his neck. Her hands went into his hair immediately, which made him growl against her. She shrieked when he licked her again. Longer. Deeper. He looked up her stomach, loving the look on her face as he traced over her skin with his tongue. Her head fell back as she came under him, her flesh contracting against his mouth.

He pulled back slightly so he could get his boxers off. Remembering what the book said, he urged her over onto her knees. “We’re not supposed to have you on your back. So I guess that means I get to look at your delectable little bottom for the next nine months.”

She chuckled and pushed back against him, wiggling her bottom at him. “I hope you like the view, then.”

“Oh, I love the view.” He leaned down and nipped at the sexy indentation where her spine curved into her ass. Then he entered her slowly, gently, giving her time to adjust to him.

She arched her back and pushed back against him, taking him deeply. Nick barked out a cry at the sudden, erotic sensation of being surrounded by her. “Damn, do that again.”

Raina looked over her shoulder at him and bit her lip. She leaned forward, allowing him to slip almost all the way free, then she pushed back against him again, taking his full length in one thrust. Nick gritted his teeth against the overwhelming need to come.

“You like being in control, sweets?”

She nodded, her tongue between her teeth as she watched him with a sexy smile. “I like taking you.”

“Hell, yeah. You can take me anytime.” He rested his hands gently on her backside and allowed her to set the pace. She took him slowly at first, each thrust forceful and deep. Then she increased the tempo, her motions becoming jerky as she got closer and closer to her own orgasm. He could tell she was getting near to climaxing by the sounds she made and the way her nails curled into the sheets beneath her.

“Help me, Nick,” she moaned. She came with a cry, nearly collapsing beneath him as she tightened around him.

He reached beneath her and captured her ripe breasts, holding them in his hands as he thrust. With every motion he felt like he was giving her something more than just sex. He felt like he was showing her the depth of his feelings. As he came, he thought maybe she could h

ear what his body was saying.

This is my love for you. This is my desire for you. Take everything that I am.

It’s all for you.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

RAINA PICKED UP her phone. Another missed call from Steven. The calls had tapered off after she’d told him to stop calling the last time, but in the last few days, he’d started calling her again.

Before she could think whether it was a good idea or not, she dialed his number.

“You finally decided to stop ignoring my calls,” he answered.

Raina rolled her eyes. “Leave it to you to make yourself out to be the injured party. I thought we’d already agreed that you wouldn’t call me anymore? I hold no ill will toward you, Steven, but I’m happily married now. These calls need to stop.”

“Happily married,” he scoffed. “Raina, I think you forget who you’re talking to. I know you only married Alexander because you wanted a baby.”

“That’s why we got married but that’s not why we’re still married now. We’re happy together. I would think considering all the pain and embarrassment you’ve caused me that you could just be happy for me.”

“That’s why I felt compelled to call. I’ve been struggling with my conscience about lying to you,” Steven said finally.
