Image of Deceit

  The minute we are in my room, Alexis walks past the bed and turns to look at me. I have no idea what the hell she wants. She lifts her dress over her head and is now standing in front of me in only her bra and panties. She stalks towards me as I watch her wondering just exactly what she expects. She stops a few inches from me and reaches for my belt.

  “I want you to fuck me like this is a goodbye,” she demands, and I place my hand on hers as she fumbles with my belt. “I told you this wasn’t a goodbye, Alexis,” I remind her, and she practically jumps on me covering my mouth with hers. She forces her tongue into my mouth and moves to lift my shirt. Once my shirt is off we both manage to take off my pants and boxers. I don’t know what has set Alexis off, but I why would she say this is a goodbye? She makes it sound like I won’t be seeing her again.

  Alexis pushes me onto the bed and before I can move, she has my dick in her mouth. She is licking and sucking it like her life depends on it. I am almost tempted to push her off, but she feels so fucking good that I can’t. I groan and before I realize it, I have my fist wrapped in her hair and I am thrusting my hips and hitting the back of her throat. She eventually sits up wiping her mouth with her arm and turns around so that she is on he hands and knees. “I want you to fuck me, Noah,” she tells me when she turns her head to look at me as I crawl behind her. I reach under her to pinch her clit and she lets out a scream. I use one hand to pinch and play with her clit while I use two fingers from the other hand to push inside her. I thrust my fingers in and out of her and she starts to ride them, her juices running down my hand and along her thighs. Alexis starts to beg me to stop. I change my position lying on my back and putting my face against her wet pussy. I start licking and devouring every ounce of her delicious juices. I suck, lick and swallow like it’s the first drink I have had after being on a deserted island.

  When she can’t take anymore, she collapses onto my face. I lift her up back onto her knees and. I slam into her and fill her with my big hard dick. I don’t even allow her time to get used to my size. Alexis tries to pull away from me, but I hold her in place. I use my legs to open her wider to me. I hear her gasp before she starts to scream out my name.

  I let out a growl and continue to bury myself in her. If Alexis is going to call this our goodbye fuck, I want her to remember it.

  When we finally collapse, I wrap Alexis in my arms. We are both panting and trying to catch our breath. I pull her head towards me and give her a deep kiss. I stare into her dark eyes and I see that something has changed between us. Alexis was responsive to me, but now something is broken.

  The next morning, I wake up and I am alone. Alexis left and didn’t say goodbye. She knew I was leaving this morning, and I suppose that’s why she wanted the goodbye fuck. I thought she would go to the airport with me, but I guess I was wrong about Alexis Deluca.

  ~*~*~

  After a long flight I am back in Boston and it hasn’t changed one bit. I drop off my bags and I head straight to the office. I stop to tell my receptionist, to call Ted. I want to see him immediately. I start to proceed when I stop in my tracks. I realize I don’t know this woman. I walk back over to her and tilt my head and she gives me a big smile.

  “Is there something else, Mr. Hudson?” she questions.

  “Yes. Who the hell are you? Where is Pam?”

  “I’m sorry Mr. Hudson, she quit last week. I’m your new receptionist, Lisa.” She stands and holds out her hand and I just look at it.

  “Hold off with calling Ted, Please tell Maurice to get his ass to my office,” I demand as I glance at her still outstretched hand and walk to my office.

  Alexis

  I expected to have the perfect day and an even more perfect night with Noah. We couldn’t keep our hands off each other the entire time. When he made the toast to us, I knew I had met the man for me. I would have gone home to pack up and move to Boston if he had asked.

  Noah made his next toast to his brother whose name is Nick. I think I stopped breathing for a few minutes. His brother Nick had gone missing the same time my Nick went killed. I stared into Noah’s eyes during the toast realizing that I was staring into Nick’s eyes. I knew I felt a connection to Noah but is Nick the reason why?

  I kept spinning all the ways why Noah can’t be Nick’s brother. Noah’s brother is alive, when I know Nick is dead. Noah’s brother traveled back and forth to Boston, my Nick traveled to New York. Noah’s brother is married to someone named Sam but my Nick would have never been married while sleeping with me. I don’t believe in coincidences and this would be one hell of one if Noah’s Nick is the same as mine.

  After a few hours of sleep, I quietly watched Noah sleep. I softly ran my hand across his stubble and leaned over to give him a gentle kiss. I then quietly got dressed and ran.

  After calling in sick at the store, I head to Deluca’s. The club isn’t open, but I know Frank is always in first thing in the morning doing whatever the hell he does with the books. I pull into the alley and see not only is Frank, here but Alex, Thomas, and Oliver’s cars are parked too. The door is locked, but luckily, I have a key and I let myself in.

  “I need to talk to Frank alone,” I say as Alex glances at me and Frank while Oliver and Thomas both keep their eyes on me. Alex stands and walks towards me with narrowed eyes.

  “Is everything okay, Alexis? Why do you need to talk to Frank alone? You know we’re all family here, so you can talk to anyone of us.”

  I take a deep breath and look at each one of them while they all stare at me. I look back to Alex and turn back to Frank. “I need to talk about Nick,” I advise, and Alex turns to Frank and runs his hand through his hair.

  “If you want to talk about Nick, no one needs to leave Alexis,” Alex advises, and I nod.

  “Did Nick have a brother?” I blurt out and I hear Thomas chuckling.

  “You’re asking us that? Weren’t you banging him?” Thomas asks, and I hear Frank inhaling like the thought makes him sick. I turn towards Thomas and glare at him before turning my attention back to my brothers.

  “Why are you asking this?” Alex questions and I turn my attention to him.

  “I think Nick has a brother who was here in Chicago looking for him. I don’t understand how he could be since Nick is dead and you both told me that his family blamed us for his death. Does Nick have a brother?” I watch as Frank looks past me towards the others and when I turn to look at them, I notice that Alex has a strange look on his face.

  “Frank! Just tell me what’s going on. I won’t let it rest, you know I won’t,” I remind him, and Alex starts to pace. Frank takes a deep breath and again looks toward the others.

  “Nick did have a brother, Alexis. He filed a missing person report a month after Nick was killed,” Frank tells me, and I close my eyes letting his words sink in. Why would he fill out a missing person report?

  “Why would Noah fill out a missing person report for his dead brother?” I want to know, and Frank looks to Alex who takes a deep breath and moves to stand in front of me.

  “ Adele was running from Garth and she suspected that he killed Nick. The cops would have investigated her before we even knew where Garth was,” Alex tells me and still, none of this makes any sense.

  “Alexis… I think what Frank and Alex are failing to tell you is that we don’t involve the cops in anything. We handle our own business and take care of our own shit. Adele had been with Nick for days; her fingerprints were all over the place. She would have been the only suspect and a fucking sitting target for Garth. I cleaned up everything and got rid of Nick and made it look like he left on his own,” I gasp when Thomas tells me he got rid of Nick.

  “Wh…What are you talking about? You handle your own business? Nick’s family has no idea he’s dead? YOU cleaned up everything and got rid of Nick’s body?” I whisper, shocked. I can’t fight back the tears as they start to pour down my face. I look up into Thomas’ intense eyes and move away from him as I look at the men standing here in the office. T
hey all stare back at me prepared to move if I try to bolt. “You all are in the fucking mob,” I whisper, and I hear Frank sigh.

  They expected me to run and I didn’t disappoint them. Alex beat me to the door and wouldn’t let me leave. I screamed at him at the top of my lungs to let me out of the office. I am their sister and I know they wouldn’t hurt me. It would be hard for them to make me disappear. Ma would notice.

  “Alexis…calm the fuck down. Everyone in the club is in this damn room. Stop screaming!” Alex orders me as he grabs me by the shoulder.

  “I can’t believe this. You’re the fucking mob? What will Ma say when I tell her?”

  “Ma knows, Alexis,” Alex says as I turn back to glance at Frank who doesn’t deny Alex’s claim.

  “I don’t know what to say?” I whisper as I stand shocked and silent while they all watch me.

  “Alexis, I know this is a shock. I had a hard time dealing with it too,” Frank admits, and I narrow my eyes at him. They’ve all been lying to me.

  “Was Nick in the mob?” I ask, and Frank looks to the others before he responds. “Have a seat, Alexis and I’ll tell you what you need to know.” The minutes felt like hours as everyone in this room suddenly become strangers.

  +++++

  I don’t want to be around anyone. Who the hell can I trust at this point?

  I spent the next couple of days in bed. I ignored every phone call, most of which were from Frank and Alex. I knew they would eventually show up. How does anyone deal with the fact that their father and brothers are in the mob? My family is a group of killers.

  The knock at the door startles me out of my angry thoughts. When I look out the peephole I see that it’s Lola and she is holding a bag in her hand.

  “Shouldn’t you be at the store?” I ask as she bumps into me walking past into my condo.

  “Adele is there. I brought you lunch. I thought we could eat together while we talk,” she says as she walks into my kitchen. I roll my eyes as I follow her not wanting to discuss anything with anyone right now.

  “I am really not in the mood,” I tell her as she pulls plates out of my cabinet and heads to the refrigerator and grabs us each a bottled water.

  “I know that you don’t. I’ll do the talking,” Lola advises, and I drop into the chair and stare at the food that is now on my plate.

  “I know everything, Alexis. I know about Frank running the mob. I know about the other guys involved. I have known the entire time because I was sent to Chicago to get information to have Frank killed,” Lola spits out and I stare at her in complete shock.

  I am sitting across from Lola and she is telling me this shit like this is all normal family behavior.

  “I need for you to go,” I tell Lola when she is finished speaking and she nods. When she is at the door she turns to give me a hug and tells that she loves me. I don’t feel loved, I feel betrayed and the only person I want is the one person that I can’t have… Noah.

  Noah

  I arrive in Chicago and go directly to the store to let Alexis know I am back in town. I didn’t even tell her that I was coming, I wanted to surprise her. I don’t even know if she wants to see me, to be honest.

  “What are you doing here?” she whispers.

  “I thought that would be obvious?” I tell her with a quiet emphasis.

  “It was a wasted trip. I don’t want to see you,” she says softly, her eyes narrowing.

  Alexis turns to walk away from me and my fingers take her arm with gentle authority.

  “What are you talking about?”

  “I don’t want to see you, Noah. It should be easy for you to understand. Leave or I’ll call security.”

  “I came all the way from Boston to see you and you’re telling me to leave? What’s going on, Alexis?” My voice hardened, and her tone becomes even more chilly.

  “I had fun, Noah. That’s all it was, and you were supposed to stay in Boston. You were the perfect in-between for me and my boyfriend. Now we're back together and I don’t need you.”

  I tilt my head looking at her and shake my head in disbelief.

  “You’re lying, Alexis. I don’t believe any of that shit. I will leave for now, but this isn’t over.” I moved closer to her, looking down at her intently. I can feel the heat coming from her. She takes a deep unsteady breath and steps back.

  Another girl walks over to us and introduces herself as Adele. Alexis bites her lip and turns towards Adele and shakes her head. Adele looks between the two of us as if she is questioning if she should, in fact, call security and I turn to introduce myself. I introduce myself as Alexis’ boyfriend from Boston. I hear Alexis sigh and I turn to see her nostrils flared with fury.

  “He’s not my boyfriend,” Alexis firmly advises.

  “Baby… you have spent more time in my bed than your own, I think you can call me your boyfriend,” I say, and her lips thin with anger.

  “Adele can you handle things for a few minutes, while I talk to him please?” she muttered hastily and Adele nods as Alexis grabs my arm and pulls me out into a back room and closes the door.

  The minute the door is closed I pulled her roughly, almost violently, against me reclaiming her lips. My tongue explores the recesses of her mouth and for a few brief minutes, she lets me. Alexis moves her hands between us and pushes away from me. Her lips almost look bruised as she puts her hands on them and backs away from me.

  “Don’t say it, Alexis,” I tell her as I grit my teeth.

  “I can’t…” she starts to say, and I cut her off.

  “I said don’t say it. I don’t know why you're saying this is over, but it’s not. You and I both know it’s not. I will leave so you can get back to work, but I’ll be waiting for you when the store closes. I am coming back, and we can talk about this later.” I rip the words out impatiently

  Gathering her into my arms, I hold her snugly before I walk away…for now.

  Alexis raised her chin with a cool stare in my direction when she notices me leaning against her car. I came an hour earlier than the mall closed so I could be waiting for her. I wasn’t about to take the chance that she would leave early to avoid seeing me.

  “You came?” she asked matter-of-factly.

  “Not yet, but I was hoping maybe later,” I tease her and notice that her lips trembled with the need to smile. I hope that I can spend enough time with her to break down these damn walls that she has managed to build around herself.

  “Noah, I really don’t have it in me to do this. “

  “Baby I didn’t come back here to fight with you. I miss you and we can go anywhere you want, but please don’t push me away.” The sound of my voice sounded thick and unsteady. I was seconds away from begging this woman and she didn’t have any idea as she stared at me in silence.

  “I am not sure why you're so upset with me, but if you will just talk to me and tell me why your so pissed, I will fix it.”

  Alexis swallows hard, lifts her chin, and boldly meets my gaze.

  “I am not mad at you.”

  “Okay. Then let’s go somewhere and talk. Please.”

  I just need ten minutes with her and I know she will talk openly with me.

  “What’s going on, Baby?” I watch as she starts to bite her lip.

  “Nothing is going on, Noah. What is it with you? We had fun and you went back home… to Boston. Where you should have stayed. My life is here, and it goes on whether you are here or not.” I watched Alexis and listened as she unleashed on me. I started to laugh at her and she shot me a cold look.

  “What the hell is funny about what I just said?” she counters icily.

  “It’s all bullshit, Alexis. You knew from day one I lived in Boston and if you had any issues with it, we never would have started. We made plans on how we’d make it work. The last night we were together, something spooked you and you need to tell me what it was, so I can fix it,” I chuckled nastily.

  I can hear her breathing increase. I don’t know if she is nervous or turne
d on. She doesn’t answer my question, she just stares at me. Alexis raises her glass and finishes it with one gulp.

  “You’re right, Noah. It’s all bullshit,” she replies, and I narrow my eyes at her not trusting this agreeable version of Alexis sitting across from me. “How about we go up to your room, Noah?” Alexis asks, and I realize that she is trying to distract me with a quick fuck. I close my eyes and try to ignore the alarm and anger that is rippling along my spine. My heart was hammering, my breathing is now ragged. I want a lot more from her than some “keep me quiet” fuck I realize as I escort her to the elevator.

  ~*~*~

  The last time we were in this room, I practically threw her onto the bed. This time, I gently ease her down onto it. I intend to worship Alexis’ body like a rare piece of art that no one is ever allowed to touch. I lower myself to her and unbutton her shirt. She is wearing a barely-there bra which I pulled down to expose her beautiful, full breasts. I take one into my mouth and suck on one of her nipples with a possessiveness that shocked me. I quickly move to the other while moving to stripping her of her remaining clothes. I then sIt up to kiss her and whisper my love for each part of her body while my hands move gently down her back.

  Alexis reaches down between us and wraps her hands around my dick. She pulls on it just enough that I let out a loud moan. I move her hands so that I am aligned with her. I push the tip in slightly and pull back out. I moan as her pussy tries to suck all of me in and Alexis reaches for me but I pull away from her.

  “We are not over. We never will be,” I whisper in her ear as I push slowly inside her. Together we found the tempo that binds our bodies together. It was hard and deep, but I never feel deep enough. I push her legs back further holding her legs open with my arms. Alexis gasps in sweet agony as I continued to pump inside her. With every thrust, I feel her defenses weakening. Alexis couldn’t stop her moan of ecstasy that slipped through her lips and neither could I. After four hard thrusts I throw her legs over my shoulders to get a deeper angle, stroking that special place inside her I feel her orgasm beginning to flow through her and it triggers my own as we come together.
