Beautifully Twisted

by Jennifer Domenico

  Brett is silent, his breath coming softly through the phone line. Finally, she hears him exhale and begin to speak. “You have my word, Alexa, I will not cross the line. I know you love Scott, and he loves you. Maybe in another time and place, it could’ve been me that won your heart. Maybe, if I had just gotten to you a little sooner, it could’ve been me that warmed your bed. And maybe, if I had just tried a little harder, it could’ve been my name you scream. Ah, but Alexa, I know when I’ve lost and I concede my defeat to Scott Patrick. I promise.”

  “Brett,” she says softly. “You are a great guy and I really mean that. But Scott is like, well, he’s my world. My entire world. It took us a long time to get where we are right now and it’s all I’ve ever wanted. It is absolutely not a reflection of you.”

  He chuckles softly. “That’s about the strangest let down I’ve ever had but I get it, Alexa. As much as I want you, I am able to control myself. I assure you and Scott, that I will be nothing but professional when you get to Spain. Shall we talk about those arrangements now?”

  She loved how Brett switched back to his work mode and that she felt she could trust him. Now if Scotty could, I’d be all set. “That’s great, Brett. Thank you. So, when were you thinking, and what are your plans for me when I get there?” As soon as she said the last sentence she wished she could pull those words back. Everything she said sounded like a sexual innuendo and she prayed Brett didn’t take it that way. Oh, but he did.

  “Well, my plans for you…” he pauses for a moment and releases a quiet sigh, “are to arrange a few meetings with some people that are very interested in the London office. Social media is still a bit of a new phenomenon to folks out here so they want to know how you do it and why it works.” He then pauses again, and Alexa can tell he is being careful with his words. “I also want to spend some time with you and learn about your career aspirations. It’s an exciting time at Patrick Collins and I think you have a very bright future here.”

  “I’m excited too, very excited actually.” Dammit!

  “I wondered if you’d like to extend an invitation for Scott to join us. It would help him feel more comfortable that I can be trusted,” Brett offers.

  “No, the way for him to trust us is to allow me to do things on my own and come back in the same condition I left,” Alexa says firmly.

  “I’ll follow your lead, Alexa. I just don’t want any more strain between the three of us.”

  “I don’t either, Brett, but Scotty knows that this is my job, the job he mentored me for. So he needs to learn what proper boundaries are.”

  “If anyone can teach him that, I am positive it would be you,” Brett says, his voice gently soothing her through the phone line.

  “Thank you,” she says professionally. “When you would like me to come?”

  “As soon as possible.”

  Alexa continues to cringe as each phrase passes between them. Even when she tries to sound neutral, every word seems to be an invitation. “Well, the easiest thing for me to do would be to have Martina call your assistant and arrange the details, including where I will stay. Would that be agreeable?”

  “Certainly. There is a lovely hotel near the office that I think you’ll enjoy. It’s as elegant and modern as you are.”

  “Are you flirting with me again, Brett?” she asks, exasperated.

  “Not at all, it’s a simple observation.”

  “I trust your trip back to Spain was uneventful?”

  “Quite. Most of my life is uneventful, Alexa. That’s why the few moments I spent in your presence were genuinely some of my most exciting. I expect that I will continue to be excited by you with our work relationship.”

  She sighs. “Don’t make this difficult for me. I won’t turn my back on Scott.”

  “I won’t ask you to. I told you, you have my word, Alexa. I always keep my word.”

  “Okay,” she says.

  “I’ll tell my assistant Tyler to call Martina and arrange the trip, until then, be well, Alexa.”

  “I will. Thank you, Brett.”

  She places the phone in its cradle and sits for a moment, her face buried in her hands. She knows Scott is going to have a problem with her taking this trip but she knows it’s something she must do, not only for her career, but to make sure Scott understands he can’t control every aspect of her life. She buzzes for Martina and smiles as she appears in the doorway.

  “Hey, boss. What can I do for you?”

  “You should be expecting a call from Brett’s assistant, Tyler. I want you to work with him to arrange my trip to Spain.” Suddenly an idea hits her that might solve a lot of her concerns. “I want you to attend the trip with me.”

  Martina’s eyes open wide. “Really? You want me to go to Spain? Where are we going? Maybe I can stop by and see my family.”

  “Madrid. Is that far from your family?”

  She nods. “Yes, but much closer than London. I’ll call them and have them come meet us, if that’s okay with you?”

  “Well, why don’t we see what the dates are and then we can go see them. I’d much rather you have the opportunity to visit your parent’s home.” Besides, What Alexa really craved was the chance to spend time with a warm, loving family, something she knew nothing about.

  Martina claps her hands and jumps up and down like an excited child. “Oh, Alexa! That would be so wonderful. My mom is totally going to cry.”

  “I think you might too,” Alexa says, only slightly teasing.

  “Yes, maybe. Are you going to have Scotty the hotty come? You so should. It’s so romantic there.”

  Alexa shakes her head. “No, I need to do this alone. Scott needs to learn to trust me.”

  “He doesn’t?”

  “Not with Brett.”

  “Oh, right. Yes, well making out with Braveheart probably wasn’t the best way to win over his trust.” Martina stifles a giggle.

  “This I know,” Alexa agrees. “I’m looking forward to a quiet and romantic weekend. Just what Scotty and I need.”

  “I’m so jealous. I’m just dying to meet someone and fall in love,” Martina sighs.

  “You will. You’re so young still, it will happen. What type of man do you like?”

  Martina shrugs her shoulders. “I’m pretty open-minded. I just want someone kind, generous, with a gentle spirit and an open heart. It doesn’t hurt if he’s successful, smart, funny, and hot too.”

  Alexa laughs. “Well at least you have standards. Sounds just like Brett actually.”

  “Oh I wish I could get someone like him. He’s so out of my league though.”

  “He’s not at all. Why do you say that?” Alexa asks.

  “Alexa, he was going after you. Anyone who even had a glimmer of a chance with you is out of my league.”

  “I disagree with you. He went after me simply because he saw me as a challenge. You are far more of a catch. You have the biggest heart and the warmest personality. Brett deserves someone like you.”

  Martina giggles. “Well, I don’t think he would see it that way. Regardless, I think you are an awesome person. I admire you so much and how hard you worked to get to this place. It’s an inspiration.”

  Alexa smirks. Oh I worked hard to get here alright. “I need to call Scotty and deal with his wrath that I’m accepting this trip.”

  “Do you think he’ll be angry?” Martina asks.

  “Will who be angry?” Alexa and Martina look up at the sound of Scott’s voice in Alexa’s doorway.

  Martina jumps up and smiles. “Hello, Mr. Patrick. Can I get you some coffee or tea?” she asks, ever the good assistant.

  “I’d love some tea, Martina, thank you. May I come in, Alexa?” he asks, his tone embodying the intimacy that Alexa never expected. Martina quickly excuses herself to get the tea.

  “Of course, Mr. Patrick,” Alexa grins, attempting to get a rise out of him.

  He returns her grin and slides into a chair in front of her desk, his body clothed in designer jeans and a
black sweater. For most men the clothes are not spectacular but on Scott’s incredible body, they were the sexiest possible choice.

  “I hope you don’t mind that I just stopped by, Lexi. I just wanted to see you, maybe see if you’d grab lunch with me”

  “I don’t mind. I’m happy to see you,” she says, genuinely smiling.

  Scott leans across the desk towards her. “I haven’t been able to concentrate on anything today. I’m so wrapped up in you, baby girl. I need to be inside you again. I won’t make it to tonight.”

  “Scotty…” She stops talking as Martina knocks softly on the door with the tea. Alexa stares at Scotty across the desk, his dark eyes burning with lust and love for her. Holy fuck, this man is insanely hot.

  They both sit quietly and watch Martina, who is very aware of the awkward silence. She finishes her task and quickly leaves the room.

  “Alexa…” Scott speaks first. “I need you. Can we go spend some time together? Now.”

  Alexa grins and even though she thinks its sweet the way he is asking, she has to be honest with herself that she misses the Scott Patrick that just takes what he wants when he wants it. “I’m so busy, Scott. I wasn’t even going to take lunch. I have a lot to catch up on before we go out of town this weekend,” she says, winking at him.

  He frowns and his jaw tenses. “I thought you didn’t like this game anymore. Are you going to push me again, Lexi?” His voice is far from tender. He cocks his head at her, confused by her sudden shift.

  “I wasn’t playing a game at all,” she says, clearly lying. “I’m simply stating what my day looks like. I’m not even sure I’ll get out by five thirty.” She watches as he stands, his body language revealing his agitation. She presses on. “I can certainly call you when-”

  Her words are stopped as Scott leans across her desk, grabbing her chin roughly. “You’re coming with me. Right now.”

  Alexa tries to pull away but realizes that isn’t going to be possible. She nods her head yes, doing her best to contain her excitement. Scott lets her go but with a look in his eyes that suggests she should comply with his demands.

  “Where are we going, Scotty?” she asks, nervous and excited all at the same time.

  “Out. Get your coat.” He’s about to give Alexa exactly what she wants. First, he needs to understand what she’s up to.

  Alexa walks from behind her desk and into the area where Martina sits, Scott following closely behind her. “I’ll be stepping out for a while with Mr. Patrick. Hold my calls, please.”

  “Of course, Miss Drake,” Martina replies, her curious expression thinly veiled.

  Scott and Alexa walk quietly towards the elevator, Alexa quite aware that her staff’s attention is once again on her. She knows from the tight hold on her hand that Scott is going to boss her around, exactly how she likes it. She just wonders where they are going.

  “Scotty, where are we going?”

  “Don’t worry about it,” he winks and gives her just the tiniest peek at his delicious smile.

  Scott pushes the call button for the elevator, standing stoically next to Alexa. When it opens, several people get off and he waits impatiently for them to clear. Then he pulls Alexa’s arm on the elevator with him, pushing her against the back wall of it.

  He presses up against her, his hands in her hair, his lips crawling along her neck as he whispers, “I don’t understand you sometimes, Lexi. Why do always seem to want this from me but say you don’t? Do you know how much I fucking want you? Do you?” He smashes his lips against her skin, his body pressed up against hers.

  She shakes her head, “Tell me, Scotty, tell me how much you want me?” she says, breathlessly.

  “I want you tied to my bed, locked in my room where you can’t come out unless I say. I want to spend my days buried deep inside the sweetness between your legs. I want every part of you entwined with every part of me. I want your soul, Alexa.”

  She gasps as his lips close over her mouth, sucking her hot tongue into his mouth, his hands roaming over her body. She struggles against him knowing at any moment the doors could open to people waiting to get on. The more she struggles the more Scott presses against her. They hear the ping indicating a stop and just as quickly as he started, Scott backs away from her, appearing completely composed, while she is left to quickly regain hers.

  The elevator doors open and several people step on, addressing the couple politely. Scott smiles while Alexa mumbles, “good day.” The elevator arrives at the bottom floor and while everyone steps off, Scott grabs Alexa’s arm again, and breaks into a full smile.

  “You excite the hell out of me, Lexi. I hope you’re ready for what I’m about to do to you,” he says, with the slightly menacing tone he uses with her. Most women would be afraid of a man like Scott Patrick, but Alexa wasn’t most women. Not only was she not afraid, she was downright excited by him.

  They walk briskly to the parking garage and head towards his car. Alexa gets in on the passenger side, tingling with anticipation. Scott gets in the driver’s side without saying a word, his mouth set in a hard line. He wanted this with her more than anything but he worried she would freak out about it later. He starts the car and shifts into gear, pulling out of the garage and onto the street in a flash. Alexa grips her seat, staring at the sensuality that Scott exudes, wondering what was going on in his head.

  “Alexa, I don’t know what you’re up to but if it’s a game you want, it’s a game you’ll get. Do everything I say without question or suffer the consequences. Is that clear?”

  Alexa nods her head, grinning, only taking a moment to question her own motivation for taking them both back to the place she tried so hard to avoid. “I understand.”

  “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you clearly,” Scott says, and she immediately knows what he wants.

  “I understand, sir.” As soon as the word comes out of her mouth, she is sure she felt a gush of warmth between her legs.

  He smiles seductively, and then glances at her. “Pull your skirt up all the way around your waist.”

  Alexa is a bit surprised by the command but does as Scott requests.

  “Good. Now slide your panties off and turn so I can see that sweet pussy of yours.”

  “Scotty, it’s broad daylight. Someone will see me.”

  “I don’t give a fuck. You should have worried about your modesty when you had the opportunity. Do it, and don’t call me Scotty again.”

  Alexa looks out the window, hoping there aren’t too many unsuspecting tourists that might catch sight of her nakedness. She slides out of her panties as requested.

  “Give them to me,” he demands as he extends his hand. She places the panties in his hand, anticipating his next command. He reaches over and drags a finger along her slit, causing her to inhale her breath sharply. Suddenly, he digs his hand into the flesh of her thigh. “Fuck, Alexa. You drive me crazy. Look at you. You’re so fucking unbelievable. I can’t wrap my head around it. I can’t get enough of you. I can’t…”

  “Can’t what, baby? Tell me.”

  “Open your legs, spread them for me,” he says, ignoring her question. She does so and twist towards him, then tries to rub his hand but he quickly pulls it away. “No. This is my game.”

  He plunges two fingers deep inside her, pressing into her as far as he can go. Alexa throws her head back, spreading her legs wide. Scott begins to pump, finger fucking her aggressively as he navigates the car through traffic with one hand.

  “Lexi, you know how to push me but why do you want to? I don’t get it.” His voice softens but his movements do anything but.

  Alexa grabs her breasts through her blouse, squeezing her nipples in ecstasy. Even just his fingers could completely rock her world.

  “You don’t deserve this pleasure, Alexa. You were going to make me wait for mine. Maybe that is what I should do to you.”

  Her eyes shoot open. “No, please, Scotty. I mean, sir. Please, sir. I’ll do anything you say.”

  �
��I know you will. Right now, I’m going to watch you come then when we get to my place, I’m gonna fuck you until you scream and then I’m gonna fuck you again. I’m going to make you cry and beg, Lexi. I’m going to fuck you until your throat is so hoarse you can only whimper. I’m going to fuck you until I’ve had my fill and then I’m going to do it one more time. I’m going to break you, baby girl. I’m going to make you crawl to me and submit once and for all. This is what you want. It’s what we both want.”

  She realizes that she had no resistance left in her, no will to argue and summon some level of fight left in her. He was right. She knew he was. She wanted this to happen. She wanted his ownership.

  Scott pumps his fingers in and out of her, swirling them around, hitting that perfect spot deep within her. She writhes against his hand, ignoring any passersby, enthralled by her own pleasure. She grabs his wrist and rocks against him, pushing his fingers deeper inside. She knew it was coming, the orgasm she needs so badly. The release of the tension his presence caused.

  “There you go, baby girl, fuck my fingers. Bury them in there and when you come, just wait and see what I’m gonna do to you.”

  Her eyes open wide and she sees his expression, sexiness and lust oozing from him as his eyes focus only on her. Her eyes shift quickly to the street and she is only just a little embarrassed to see they are stopped at a streetlight. At that moment, she couldn’t give a shit. She just wanted to get off.

  “You should tell me, sweet girl, who you belong to,” Scott asks, a sweetness in his voice she didn’t expect.

  “Jesus, Scotty. You. You fucking know that. You, goddammit.”

  “That’s right. Me. I will never let you forget it.” He twists his wrist just so, causing Alexa’s orgasm to hit. She arches her back and slides down in the seat, her body convulsing with pleasure. She screams out, “Fuck! Oh my… oh… Scotty… fuck.”

  He pulls his fingers out of her and pushes them into her mouth. “Suck.”

  She eagerly sucks his fingers, cleaning them of her own cum. He pulls his hand away and drags his tongue along his own fingers. “You taste so fucking amazing. I can’t wait to sink my cock into you again. It’s a matter of minutes now. Prepare yourself.”
