The Precious Topaz (The Precious Trilogy Book 2)

by C Renee

  “Let’s get you home Precious, I don’t want to be here a second longer.” Alex grabs my hand and pushes us towards the back entrance; I don’t understand why we didn’t go this way in the first place.

  Chapter Eighteen

  Louise

  WE GET HOME AND I am exhausted. Alex and I had a thrilling day today and it was everything I wanted and more.

  I know I should have stayed longer than we did but Steph really pissed me off. I can understand where she is coming from but maybe saying it in a nicer way would have been the best option.

  “Lou, tell me what Steph said to you.” Alex is leaning against the kitchen wall, just like the same stance before but now he has his tux jacket off and he has loosened his blue tie. He looks confident and relaxed.

  “I really don’t want to talk about it but let’s just say that I won’t be talking or seeing her for a while.” I go to walk passed Alex but he grabs onto my arm, it’s not tight but I know he won’t let go until I tell him what’s been said.

  “Louise, tell me or I will bend you over my knee and spank you.” Whoa, I didn’t expect Alex to say that. I mean everything I’ve been through with Matt; I don’t think I’m ready for that. So I have to tell him and I know he will never do anything to hurt me.

  “Fine, Steph wasn’t happy about us buying a house together. She said it was too soon and she would have liked for me to wait a little longer before jumping the gun.” Steph is being ridiculous, I’m already living with Alex and I don’t think buying a house together will change anything. Well, except the fact that we are taking our relationship to the next step and I’m okay with that. Alex is okay with that and that’s all that matters.

  “I’m sorry that Steph is your best friend but honestly she has no right in saying if it’s too soon or not.” Alex pulls me into his embrace and strokes my hair. I rest my head against his chest and just feel this moment.

  I feel Alex’s hands start to roam my body; they start at my back and slowly moving down towards my ass and back up again. He moves his head towards my neck and starts kissing there. He kisses up my neck and sucks on my earlobe, he then gives is a little nibble and I try to hold back a moan.

  His hands move back to my ass and he gives it a hard squeeze. I can feel his growing erection against my stomach, he brings his lips to mine, and he sucks on my bottom lip.

  I groan out loud and he has created a fire in my groin that needs attention. I wrap my arms around his neck and deepen the kiss. Alex taste amazing, a hint of strawberries and wine, both of those things I didn’t see at the fundraiser tonight. What a shame.

  “Lou, I need to be inside of you.” Alex’s dirty talking kinda turns me on.

  “I’d like that.” I whisper against his lips.

  He doesn’t hesitate; he quickly spins me around and unties my lace up corset. I feel the dress slide down my body and pool on the floor at my feet. I step out of them and I slowly bend down to untie my heels.

  “No, leave them on.” Alex says while unbuttoning his shirt.

  I stand up straight and here I am with my blue lace underwear and my black heels. The way he’s looking at me, it’s as if I’m his walking wet dream.

  He takes off his shirt and unzips his tux pants; he steps closer to me and picks me up. He carries me to the kitchen counter and places me down. The last time I sat on this counter he made me cum so hard, I blush at the thought that he might do that again.

  “Do I see you blushing Louise?” Alex steps up between my spread legs and smirks at me. Well shit.

  “Maybe, just remember the last time we did this…” I didn’t get time to finish that sentence when Alex leans down to claim my mouth. He is urgent and hungry, I match the pace he has set and I’m really turned on now.

  I hear Alex groan when he feels how wet I am, he doesn’t take long to rip my panties in half and puts two fingers inside my pink folds.

  My head rolls back from the intense feeling, Alex knows exactly what and when I want it.

  I feel his fingers going in and out of my folds and the burning feeling is getting more intense. I can feel my orgasm getting ready to explode and Alex knows that because he is going harder and faster now. Fuck!

  I reach forward and grip Alex’s arms because my orgasm is rolling in and there is nothing that will stop it.

  “Just let it happen Lou.” Alex murmurs, I don’t hold back anymore.

  “Fuck!” I scream it loud and proud. That was intense.

  Alex pulls his pants all the way off and steps out of them. He steps up to me again and lifts me off the counter. He places his hands under my ass and walks us towards the kitchen wall. He pushes my back against it and I wrap my legs around his waist. Holy shit, I’ve never had sex standing up before.

  Alex’s mouth is at my neck again and I feel him getting ready to enter me. He uses one hand to hold me still, and gets the other to guide himself at my entrance. He slowly pushes his way into my folds and he just waits until I get wetter. He slowly pushes the rest of the way in and he begins to rock in and out of me.

  “Hold on tight Precious.” Alex groans out the words, I wrap my arms tightly around his neck.

  He picks up the pace, going harder and faster. I can feel another orgasm coming on.

  Alex pinning me against the wall like this, I never knew he could go so deep inside me and I love it.

  Our bodies are becoming sweaty, it’s getting harder to hold onto him and my muscles are beginning to ache.

  “Alex…” I moan, he needs to hurry because I’m going to get a cramp.

  “Yes…” He groans, I can feel he is close because he moved his legs to a wider stance and he is gripping my ass cheeks harder.

  He thrusts in and out of me a few more times and we both cum at the same time.

  He doesn’t move, and my limbs go numb. I can’t believe how amazing that felt.

  Alex leans in and kisses the side of my neck and then places me on my feet. Our bodies are full of sweat and I have to admit, it’s kind of turning me on again.

  “I think we need a bath.” Alex whispers that in my ear. I don’t have the strength to even think right now, I am exhausted.

  I grumble and I faintly hear Alex chuckle. He picks me up again and carries me towards the bathroom. Once we get inside he sets me back down on my feet and I watch him walk towards the bath. He is naked in front of me, I bite my lip from the sudden dirty thoughts I’m having. His body is everything a woman would want, thick muscly thighs, that sexy v line and rock hard abs, even his ass is toned. I think I got very lucky.

  “Get in.” Alex commands when the bath is full with bubbles, I step into the bath and the hot water is already relaxing my sore muscles.

  “Ahh…” I slip down the bath and it’s so nice. The bubbles cover my breasts and I move forward a little bit to let Alex in behind me.

  “The therapist emailed me earlier, letting me know that I have to go in for my last session tomorrow. It was meant to be later in the week but she pushed it forward. I’m not sure if I want to go.” I tell Alex, this is something I want him to know. I don’t feel like discussing Steph in the bath. That’s not bath talk.

  “You should go, get it over and done with. That way you don’t have to go back and you will be relieved. Trust me.” He does have a point and it will be a weight lifted off my shoulders if I did go tomorrow.

  “Okay, fine I will go but if anything happens to me. Know that I love you.” I just had to get that in there, whether if anything happens to me now or later.

  “I love you too but nothing will happen to you, I will make sure of it.” He pulls me tight against his chest and gets the cloth and soap and starts washing my body.

  I feel clean when he’s finished with washing me, and then he starts on himself. He does a quick job and steps out of the bath. I follow him out and he passes me a towel to dry off. All of a sudden I feel tired and weak. I need to go to sleep before my big day tomorrow.

  “Alright let’s get you to bed.” Alex picks me up ag
ain and carries me to his bed.

  “You know I have legs and I know how to use them.” I laugh when he sets me on the bed.

  “I know but I can carry you.” He just looks at me before he gets in behind me.

  He brings me close to him; he wraps his arm around my waist and whispers in my ear.

  “I’m going to marry you.”

  I roll over in bed to find Alex still sleeping, he must have tired himself out from carrying me too much last night. I shake my head at the thought; he really didn’t have to do that. I roll my neck to get out all of the stress building up from this last therapist session. I really hope it goes as quick as I want it to.

  I walk quietly out of Alex’s room, hoping I don’t wake him because I don’t want to be given an excuse to crawl back into bed with him.

  I get dressed, make a takeaway coffee and out the door I go to my last therapist session. I hope this last sit down and chat isn’t going to be a waste of my time.

  Walking into the therapist’s office has given me the creeps, the receptionist lets me into her office to wait for Dr. Wicked. She told me that it wouldn’t be too long of a wait. Here I am, sitting in the enemies office and there is nothing I can do about it but to accept my fate.

  “Ah Louise, I didn’t expect to see you again. I know I sent you that email but I never thought you would actually turn up. Thank you for coming.” Dr. Wicked walks into her office and closes the door behind her. I have this sick feeling that something is off but I can’t put my finger on it.

  “As you know, this is our last session if you comply with my questions and then I can clear you for work.” Oh blackmail is the way it’s going to be, fine I will play along.

  “Sure whatever you want to know, I’ll answer it.” I hope it’s nothing about Matt again; I’ve had enough of hearing that name.

  “What are your future plans, either in general or with Alex?” I never expected her to ask questions like this.

  “Well, my future plans are to continue work, to grow old and die.” How vague did she want me to get?

  “Let’s be more specific here Louise.” Just great, I don’t want to discuss my future with this piece of trash.

  “If you must know, I will be moving in my own house with Alex in the next coming weeks, I will try to reconnect with Steph after she apologizes and I hope to see certain people rot in jail.” I just had to throw that one in there.

  “Sounds like your future is going to be bright and happy.” Why do I get the feeling it’s going to go downhill now?

  “Yep, it sure is. Now is that it?” I’ve answered her questions; I want to get out of here.

  “Not exactly, when you mentioned certain people who in specifically would you like to see rot?” Yeah I should have kicked myself when I said that.

  “Matt. I want to see him rot jot in hell, but since that’s impossible I thought jail is the next best thing or he gets killed which ever comes first.” I get up to leave; I think this session is over.

  “Not so fast Louise.” Dr. Wicked blocks my way out, this can’t be good.

  “I will scream if you don’t move out of my way.” I give her the death stare; I will not back down from her.

  “But don’t you want to see and hear from a visitor?” What the fuck is she talking about?

  “Come on in Sweetness.” Oh… no… Fuck… that nickname is not good.

  The door swings open and there standing in the doorway is Matt. My legs buckle and I fall to the ground.

  No, this is my worst nightmare.

  This can’t be happening.

  I need help.

  “Well, well look who we have here. Sweetness, it’s good to see you again.” Matt crouches down to my level and lifts my chin up with his hand. I am trembling, I can’t do this.

  I knew I should have trusted my gut with the bad feeling earlier.

  “Why are you here?” I have to gather all my inner strength to get through this.

  “I just wanted to stop by and have a chat. I also wanted to remind you that no matter where you go and who you are with. I will always find a way to get to you because you are mine.” Vomit is coming up my throat at his last words, I am not fucking his.

  “Yeah and just like those other women are yours, right?” He is Matt and I have to bring the sarcastic woman out. I have to or else I will not win this fight.

  “You Sweetness will always be my number one.” He brings his face close to mine and before I even gather my thoughts I spit in his face.

  He didn’t like that, he just growled at me and stood back up. He walks over to Dr. Wicked and whispers in her ear about something. I can’t hear anything but I just watch their lips to see if I can make out any words but I can’t. I watch as Matt looks back to me and she just nods her head.

  Matt comes back to me and stops in front of me. I crane my neck up to look at him and he doesn’t look happy.

  “As much as I would enjoy killing you now, I won’t. I don’t want to ruin that bitches cover as your therapist. I will come after you Louise and I will kill you. You mark my words.” He doesn’t come anywhere near me, he doesn’t touch me but walks straight past me to a hidden door in the office that I’ve never noticed before. Well this day has just gotten so much worse, I need to get back to Alex and tell him what is going on. I think Matt intended me to do so, maybe he wants Alex to go after him and he will get the satisfaction out of killing Alex instead of me. I can’t let that happen.

  “Well Louise, I’m so glad you got to see Matt again. As far as today goes, this session is over and there won’t be anymore. I will give you the clear to return to work, that’s if you get to go.” She chuckles and writes me a slip confirming my return to work. I snatch it off her and I get out of the office as fast as I can.

  I pull up at the apartment and Alex’s car isn’t there, fuck!

  He needed to be home to reassure me that the agency is doing everything they can to track Matt and to put an end to my suffering. I unlock the front door and I quickly close it behind me, I make sure I lock it and check twice.

  I have to call Alex, to find out where he is and to tell him about my fucked up day. I wish I was telling him in person, so he can comfort me but wherever he is, I’m sure he will drop what he’s doing to come home to me.

  I pick up the phone and dial his number.

  “Hello Alex speaking.” He sounds so calm but he won’t be soon enough.

  “Alex, where are you? I need you to come home now. I need to tell you something and it’s bad.” I quickly shout my words at him, I don’t want to frighten him but I’m so scared right now.

  “Louise, take a deep breath and tell me what happened. I’m at the agency so whatever it is, I’m sure I can do more good here than at home.” I know he means well but his words hurt me a little bit.

  “I went to the therapist and just as I was about to leave… the… the doctor let Matt into the room… Alex he was there…” I don’t know how I got those words out. I still can’t believe I saw Matt again.

  “What the fuck!” He doesn’t sound too happy.

  I hear voices on the other side of the phone; I catch ‘fucker’, ‘Louise’ and ‘get it done.’

  “Alex?” I wait for him to talk to me again.

  “Yeah Precious, I’m here. Please just stay home and lock all the doors. I’m going to have to stay late tonight with what you just told me. I’ll ring Reece to come check up on you later tonight. Did you want Steph there?” I hate how he has to stay at the agency but if it’s a chance for him to finally capture Matt then I don’t care how long he has to stay there for.

  “Yeah that would be great. Thank you Alex and… I love you.” I listen for him to say it back.

  “I love you too.” He ends the call and I’m here waiting for Reece and Steph to arrive. I hope they didn’t bring food because I don’t think I can eat. Not after the day I’ve just had.

  Chapter Nineteen

  Alex

  GETTING OFF THE PHONE from Louise has just turne
d my life upside down, again. How can I keep her safe if I’m stuck here trying to catch that bastard?

  I’m sitting in my office that was given to me a few weeks ago, I tried to decline the offer but now taking part in my father's company I thought keeping my seat on the agency’s board would be a good idea. Now sitting here staring at the engagement ring I was going to give to Louise last night makes it the right call.

  I thought the surprise to the fundraiser would have been the best place to propose to her; I had it all planned out. From the guests, to the band and I even told them to play a certain song at the right moment but when Louise came to me and told me she wanted to leave, it gutted me.

  I picked out the perfect topaz ring; I know how much she loves the color blue and last seeing her in that blue gown, looking beautiful as ever made me realize that I didn’t want to wait any longer to ask her to marry me. I did drop hints all day yesterday, hoping she would pick up on it but she just ignored it. It would have been a perfect night for us.

  Now it gives me a reason to plan another day out so I can propose to her.

  “Alex, they are all in the boardroom, ready to get started.” I called this meeting because Louise was within FIVE feet of Matt and that should have never happened so I wanted to get my frustration out.

  “Alright.” I close the ring box and shove it back in my desk draw, hoping I will get the chance someday soon to show her.

  I walk across the hall and I push open the boardroom door to see every seat taken up except for one, my one.

  I don’t bother sitting down because this isn’t a social meeting.

  “Thank you everyone for coming on such a short notice. I have called you all here because I got off the phone from a frightened Louise; she went to her last therapy session just a few hours ago and during that session Matt showed up. Now I don’t understand how we never suspected his appearance and why we didn’t do anything about it.” Trying to keep my cool is the hardest thing I have to do right now.
