“I love you.” He whispered gently in her ear.
“I love you too Alex.” She whispered in return.
She headed indoors and turned with a smile as Alex loomed in the door watching her go with a look of longing in his eyes. It was a look of need, not just for her body near his, but for her heart to belong to him.
“Aren’t you coming?” She smiled playfully.
“I thought you were saying goodnight.” Alex rubbed his neck nervously, “As you always do.”
“Oh I will say goodnight,” Monica walked back towards her love with a grin, “When we’re ready for bed.”
Alex followed along, a look of surprise and happiness in his eyes as she guided him towards the elevator. IN her hands she clutched tightly to his thoughtful gift, a reminder of their deep love for one another and her time spent on the beaches.

…Synopsis (Book 3)…
Monica Yale is deep in preparation for some huge changes. As school breaks for the holidays and she is engrossed in the move, she travels back to sunny Florida to celebrate with her family.

But as she returns, she finds that the changed man isn’t capturing her heart as he once had.
With his new position at the bank and new apartment in a nicer part of town, Alex Yale is sure he will win over the love of his life forever. But deep down he is in agony, the new life suffocating the man he felt he once was. Despite his newfound misery, he vows to keep his promise to the beautiful woman that has stolen his heart and live on the straight and narrow path. Though his now neatly cut black hair and deep blue eyes still draw the woman in, he has resisted the urges and remained loyal through the distance.
As Monica arrives on her third and final vacation to Panama Beach Florida, she finds a changed man eagerly awaiting her. But she can see the misery in his eyes and sense that the parts of him she fell in love with are rapidly falling away for sake of the life he is building to impress her. Will Alex let go of himself forever to keep her in his arms? Or will Monica give in to the now rapidly building wild side she never knew she had and join her love on the wrong side of the tracks? Will the differences between them finally end their love affair or will love find a way?
Chapter 1
Monica surfed the crowd, standing shoulder to shoulder in front of a decent sized building in upper Florida. The shop was located in a small plaza that was lavishing decorated in bright green, reds and whites for the holiday season fast approaching. It seemed strange to her, all the holiday lights and wreaths upon the doors and yet not a flurry of snow on the ground to signal the changing season. She pushed past the crowd of onlookers and headed towards the front, finally locating Alex standing with a group of his new employees looking nervous and excited at the same time. She waved warmly towards him and he jogged to her side, his eyes lighting up at the sight of his love.
“Well this is a surprise,” he hugged her tightly, “You weren’t due in until next week when your dad comes down for the signing.”
“Yeah I know” She closed her eyes and inhaled his scent, missing him deeply over the last few months away at school, “But I couldn’t miss the opening of your third tattoo parlor in less than a year now could I?”
While Monica’s father and new step-mother Carrie had been busy making the final plans for their move to Panama City, Florida, her secret love and step-brother Alex had been occupied with successes of his own. After vowing to change his bad boy lifestyle for the sake of their love, Alex opened his first tattoo parlor, aptly named Wild Night Tattoos in the local area near the spring break hot spot they had first fallen in love. She was leery at first, after all a tattoo and piercing shop was not exactly what she had in mind when she accepted his promise to change, but his success was rapidly pressing him forward into what looked to be a successful chain of stores up and down the coast. She smiled as he excused himself, heading back towards the group to start the official ribbon cutting ceremony on his third store in less than a year. The crowd was filled with other bikers, all dressed in the same leather clad outfits as she often saw her love wearing. Yet today, he appeared more business-like, in Kaki pants and a plain button up shirt that clung to his muscular body tightly. A burly biker that Monica knew as Lucky stepped forward and with a roaring voice announced how proud he was of his friend’s success. The crowd roared and bikes in the background revved their engines loudly. Alex cut the ribbon, his face beaming with pride from the results of his hard work and stepped back, opening the door as new customers flooded inside for their first appointment. She knew from the graphic, detailed artwork she had seen at his office and his apartment that much of his popularity was coming from his talent as an artist, as well as the talented staff he managed to wrangle together. Despite the continuing biker lifestyle, she was proud of him none the less. He jogged towards her once again as his long black hair blew in the ocean winds, his deep blue eyes shimmering in the afternoon sun.
“Can you believe it?” He laughed and watched as the line spread down the block, “My third store. It’s taking off like wildfire Monica, and all because you pushed me to do something with my life.”
After some last minute instructions to his new store manager, the two headed back to his apartment, Monica seated on the back of his roaring bike with her hands wrapped tightly around his waist. She watched as the hotel came into sight up ahead, the area she had so frequented over the last year since her first experience with Spring Break. But rather than continue onward towards the beachfront apartments, the bike suddenly turned left and headed into a quaint neighborhood running alongside the waters behind. Monica looked around, confused at the change of direction and watched as a small but neatly arranged apartment complex came into view up ahead. Alex parked the bike and she hopped off, her legs vibrating from the motion.
“Where are we?” She looked around at the still streets and beautiful ocean view behind the building.
“My new apartment,” His eyes beamed once more, “I have been doing so well I thought it was time for an upgrade. Besides that apartment was too small for the two of us anyway.”
“The two of us?” Monica raised a suspicious eyebrow as he led her up the cement stairs to his door
“Well yeah I figured with one more semester till you graduate and come down here with your dad, you would be spending a lot of your time here with me,” He laughed and turned as the key clicked in the lock, “Well at least that was my hope.”
Monica’s eyes widened as they stepped inside. With an open floor plan she first noticed the beautiful kitchen to her right that stepped down into a large living room space filled with decorative furniture and even a lit up Christmas tree near the walk out balcony. He led her down the hallway, stopping to show off his second bedroom that had been converted into a home office. The walls were filled with even more paintings and artwork from his collect. The rooms were separated by a large bathroom and on the end a bedroom with a large four poster bed sat cool and dim from the bright heat outside. Monica was definitely impressed with the upgrade from his old, broken down apartment. Though it had a beautiful view it was a run-down mess but this was a neat and clean real home in her eyes.
“Make yourself at home,” he tugged at the shirt collar, “I need to get out of these stuff-suit clothes.”
She laughed and sat down on the new couch, eyeing the walk out balcony from afar. The temptation was too much and she slid open the glass door wall to step out into the fresh ocean air. Directly below the balcony was a patch of deep green grass, shaded by several palm trees that stretched to the edge of the white sand just beyond. She watched some young kids as they played Frisbee near the waters and the ocean waves as they capped white and hit the sand. Alex snuck up from behind and wrapped his strong arms around her waist, leaning his chin onto her shoulder. She could smell fresh cologne and his
intoxicating scent as it lit up her body almost by instinct. His breath was hot on her ear as he whispered.
“Do you approve my love?” He teased.
“It’s beautiful Alex really,” She turned in his arms to gaze up into his eyes once again, “I’m proud of you.”
She glanced at his change of clothes, now looking more like the biker she knew and had come to love. His worn jeans held tears near both knees and his tight black t-shirt outlined every ripple of his chiseled chest. Her heart fluttered at the sight of him. He leaned down and kissed her deeply, the sweet taste of her filling his senses with love and desire. Then he stepped back to smile at her, and admire the way she looked standing on his balcony. Right at home here. He thought to himself. His cell phone buzzed and his eyes widened, grasping her hand he headed back for the front door.
“No time for relaxation just yet,” He laughed, grabbing his leather jacket from the chair, “We have a celebration party to get to.”
“Are we going back to that bar again?” Her heart sank, knowing his ex-girlfriend Melissa would most likely make another rude appearance.
“Nope.” He looked back with a grin, pausing before getting on the bike with a frown, “A buddy of mine is throwing me a barbeque at his house just down the street this time. There’s been more drama back at the bar and it will be a few more weeks before I can settle it.”
Monica nodded and hopped on the back once again without another word. She knew he was referring to his ex-girlfriend and her announcement that she was pregnant, claiming it was Alex’s child. She had caused them quite a bit of grief the last vacation she had taken to the area, following them around and shouting out threats. Though Monica still held a secret fear that the baby would turn out to be his, she had decided to let him be innocent until proven guilty. In his phone calls he had mentioned that she had been suspiciously quiet since their last encounter on the beach where Alex told her to leave, but he had a feeling that he hadn’t seen the last of the trouble. They pulled into a crowded driveway a few blocks from the apartment and parked beside a large group of other motorcycles all nestled beside one another on the cement. Monica could hear voices and the low tunes of rock and roll coming from the backyard as they passed through the garage and out into the area behind. Alex was greeted warmly with a cheer by many a face Monica had now come to recognize from her last visit. He cracked open a beer and shook hands with some of his employees and old friends as Monica watched with a smile. The afternoon sun was beginning its decent below the ocean and a beautiful sunset filled the area as the two lovers found a seat near the bonfire. Monica was in her senior year, and after break was over would be planning her last semester as an ecology major which meant she soon would be a permanent part of this world. Alex had been right, the group was actually decent and friendly, and once a girl got past the burly looks and leather.
“So Monica,” A women dressed in rhinestone jeans approached, “Alex tells me you are graduating this semester with a degree in ecology?”
“Yes that’s correct.” She smiled proudly at her accomplishment.
“I have a friend that works for the marina you and Alex so frequent,” She smiled, “Would you be interested in a position there?”
Monica’s heart fluttered. The opportunity to work with marine wildlife rescues would be something she could definitely see herself loving every day. She nodded happily and the women exchanged numbers. Alex nudged her with an “I told you so” smile. As the night wore on, Monica felt herself relaxing, feeling as if she finally fit in with the crowd Alex cared so deeply for. Yes, he was still a biker and appeared on the outside to be a bad boy, but she knew he had changed drastically over the last year, all for the sake of his deep love for her. Problems aside she had given her heart fully over to the love of her life.
Chapter 2
The party ended as the moon was already high in crystal clear sky overhead and the two headed back to Alex’s new apartment. The wind was cooler on her face after sunset, though still warmer than the northern climate she was accustomed to in December. They parked the bike and headed upstairs, laughing and teasing as they climbed the cement steps. Inside Alex wasted no time and grasped her tightly into his strong arms. Not only had he celebrated his third store opening, but her early arrival to support him showed her heart now belonged to him. He wanted nothing more than to hold her in his arms and keep her near for the rest of his days. Alex leaned down and kissed her deeply, the sweet taste of her body filling him with a deep desire he could only feel for her. He moaned, his temperature rising as the softness of her lips pressed tightly against his own. Monica stepped back, lifting her tight baby doll tee over her head and tossing it to the couch, allowing him to savor the sight of curvy body. He smiled and licked his lips, leaning down to kiss her soft breasts and caress her nipples. They rose and hardened in response to his rough yet pleasing touch.
“Come up here sexy,” She growled and pulled his lips to hers once again.
Monica’s delicate hands found his waist line and tugged until his jeans came loose, falling to the floor below his feet. She wanted to taste him, to watch the pleasure of her mouth tease and torture him a bit. She kneeled suddenly and Alex gasped as she roughly grasped his hard erection with her hands. Her eyes widened hungrily, admiring his large size, then she took all of him into her beautiful mouth. Alex let out a low moan and toss his head back towards the ceiling. She could feel his body shake under mouth’s attack, running her tongue along his length and then taking him all into her mouth once more.
“Oh babe,” He whimpered, “Your mouth feels so good.”
She couldn’t help but let a giggle slip and with a wicked smile continued her assault on his gorgeous body. With his strong hands he lifted her back up and gazed hungrily into her eyes. She followed along his broad shoulders down to his chiseled pecs below, running her finger along the shapely lines of his muscles. With a growl he scooped her into his arms and headed for the bed, placing her gently onto her back and watching as her long brown hair fanned out alongside her delicate face. He fumbled with the button on her jeans, yanking them off roughly and tossing them aside. His body grew desperate for her, running his rough hands up her knees and parting her thighs so that he could gaze at her wet mound. She is so perfect. He smiled to himself. He rubbed at her clitoris with his palm, watching the way her body wiggled and bucked under his touch. Monica could feel her body quiver with pleasure from his warm touch, crying out for him to take her.
“You are so beautiful,” He whispered, watching her body growing wet under the caressing, “And you are mine.”
He mounted her, pressing his hard cock deep inside of her and watching her gasp from the sensation. He fills me so full. She sighed and watched his eyes as they lit up with desire. His movements were slow and fell into a torturous rhythm, filling her deeply then sliding back out to tease her once again. Monica grasped the bed tightly, the overwhelming flood of pleasure pushing her to a wild frenzy of lust. His thick cock pressed deeper inside of her wet mound, the waves of fullness washing through her body in a steady assault. With a grunt he suddenly slammed deeply inside, making Monica gasp with delight. Then his rhythm became more desperate, harder and faster he slammed his chiseled body deeply between her thighs. Monica cried out in release as the orgasm burst forward in a flood of hot, wet pleasure. Alex continued his assault, driving deeper and harder, moaning as he feverishly pounded her body. The orgasm continued to shock waves of pleasure through her and she cried out in torturous joy. Alex came, filling her full with his hot, wet cum. He lingered a moment, the chills of pleasure still rocking through them both, as his manhood dripped down her leg to the bed below. He looked deeply into her eyes and smiled.
“I missed you,” He smiled playfully.
“I missed you too,” Monica gave a laugh as she attempted to calm the rapid breathing in her chest.
The two lay together quietly, Alex wrapping his strong arms around her naked body and holding her tightly to him. She closed her
eyes and took in the sensation of the world around her. The heat of her loves body mixed with a cool breeze and the smell of the ocean through the open window overhead. She listened to the waves gently rocking onto the white sandy beaches and gave a sigh. Her first experience with spring break and the area had been terrible, but now as she returned for her second and final vacation she had fallen in love with the scenic world around her soon to be her home. She finally knew, without a doubt that she and Alex were meant to be. Suddenly a thought flooded into her mind and she frowned, looking up at Alex sadly.
“We have to tell my dad and your mom now.” She sighed, “With me moving here it’s the only way you and I will ever be free to love.”
He nodded, “My mom is fond of you so I don’t think we will have much trouble there, but your dad may not be so easily convinced I’m a changed man.”
“I know,” Monica gave a nervous laugh, “But he’ll come around I’m sure, especially with the business doing so well. We should plan on telling them once they are settled, so as not to add more to the hectic move.”
“Agreed,” he kissed her forehead lovingly and smiled, “I’m glad you’re ready to let out our secret. It tells me you finally trust me.”
Monica felt a sudden pang of guilt wash through her and the looming issue of his ex-girlfriends pregnancy loomed in the back of her mind. If it turned out to be his child, that would mean he had not been loyal to her as he promised and she would have to make a hard decision. She looked up into his eyes once more and forced a smile.
