“
Why didn’t you just tell
me?”

“
I didn’t want to say
anything until I knew for sure. Colton and I had been so careful so
I never thought,” she shook her head. “I just need to be extra
cautious from now on.”

“
Next time, talk to me
instead of going into serious bitch mode, got it?”

“
Hopefully there won’t be
a next time.”

“
Come on,” I said, pulling
her out of the bathroom. I couldn’t imagine what Declan was going
through and I couldn’t blame her for freaking out. I would have
gone ballistic if I thought I was pregnant. I think this was
probably the first time ever Declan was so happy to get her period.
She instantly apologized to Colton and the relieved look on his
face said she told him the good news.

“
Everything, okay?” Casper
asked.

“
Yeah, everything’s going
to be just fine.”

Chapter 21

Casper

The band was playing at Angels and Demons
tonight. I was itching to get on stage and let out some of my
frustration. Alex had cornered me in the back room and got me so
riled up I almost threw her down on the floor and had my way with
her right there. She was the one to pull away and leave me to have
to adjust myself. The wicked smile on her face as she walked away
told me she loved seeing me in agony.

The club was packed and the fans were rowdy.
I was sure our opening set didn’t help, but I just needed to rock
it out. Let everything out when I sang. Alex was already in the
back delivering us drinks when we returned. I instantly grabbed her
and dragged her into the bathroom. She let out a little yelp,
surprised by my abruptness. I closed the door behind her and
slammed her body back against it. The gasp that escaped her lips
told me she loved every minute of it. “You’re gonna pay for
earlier.”

Her tongue was in my mouth before I had the
chance to even take a breath. Our bodies crashed into the door
making a loud thump. I could feel her lips smiling. I spun her
around and lifted her up onto the sink positioning myself in
between her thighs. Her uniform was so damn tight I was afraid I
would rip it. I had no problems doing that but she had to go back
to work and I knew she would be pissed at me. I unzipped the back
of her shorts. She pressed her palms on the sink to lift herself up
enough so I could pull them off. “You’re not wearing any
underwear?” She smirked at me. God, I loved this girl.

Alex reached for my belt buckle, stuffing a
hand around my fully erect cock. I let out a moan in relief falling
against her. There was a knock on the door. “Hey Cas,” Greyson
called.

“
He’s busy, so fuck off,”
Alex yelled back. I laughed, my head falling onto her shoulder. I
kissed her neck, nibbling on her silky white skin. I slipped my
hand over her most sensitive parts. She drew in a breath. “Do you
have something?”

I sighed, shaking my head no. She pushed me
away from her. “What the hell?” After the scare with Declan and
Colton, Alex had been extra anal (not the kind I liked) about
different contraception. I didn’t blame her. I would be just as
freaked out too.

“
I didn’t expect you to
attack me. I don’t carry that stuff with me anymore.”

“
Me? You’re the one who
dragged me in here.”

I groaned, falling back against the wall.
Alex hopped down off the sink and sunk to her knees. Before I had a
chance to ask what she was doing her lips were circled around my
dick. I let out a breath. She was good. She was better than good.
This girl had me ruined. My head fell back as she worked her hands
and mouth. One squeezed my ass while the other moved up and down my
shaft. I was just about to warn her, pull away when she dug her
nails into my behind, keeping me rooted in place. I groaned loudly
as her lips slipped back and forth. She released me, licking her
lips as she stood up. “Did I ever tell you how fucking amazing you
are?” she giggled, giving me the softest kiss.

“
I need to get back to
work before Gus sends out a search party for me.” She waited until
I had my pants up before opening the door. I walked her out and
gave her a very unforgettable kiss before I sent her back out to
the wolves. I watched her stumble a little as she walked down the
hall. I chuckled. Alex flipped me off without even turning
around.

I walked back in to the dressing room.
Greyson was staring at me. “What?”

“
I fucking hate you,
dude.”

That made me smile. “One day you’ll find the
girl of your dreams.” He rolled his eyes at me.

“
Yeah, if they invent a
blow up doll with a hole small enough for his dick,” Colton
chuckled.

I laughed, plopping down on the couch,
taking a swig of my beer. “Fuck you both,” Greyson whined, getting
up and leaving.

“
Greyson, we’re just
messin’. Don’t be such a baby.”

“
Let him go,” Colton
said.

“
What’s his deal?” I asked
as I poured myself a shot.

“
He’s been moping around
ever since you and Alex got together. He thinks he lost his
wingman.”

I stifled an eye roll. “He’ll get over it.
I’ll hook him up with Kaylee. He’ll forget all about us.”

“
Does she know you’re off
the market yet?”

“
No, but I haven’t talked
to her in forever. I think she has a feeling something is up. I
know as long as I have someone else for her she’ll be
fine.”

After our last set I introduced Greyson to
Kaylee – after I explained to her that I was a one woman man now.
She wasn’t too happy about it and told me to call her when I came
to my senses. I ignored her comment and left her with Greyson which
was punishment enough.

I headed straight to the bar and took a seat
with the best view in town. Alex was bent down getting some glasses
from underneath. I cocked my head to the side to check out her
goods. As if she knew I was staring, she looked over her shoulder
and threw me sexy smile, winking. “Hey sweetie, what can I get ya?”
Shauna asked.

“
I’m good.”

Alex stood up and looked at me funny.
“You’re not drinking?”

“
I prefer to just enjoy
the view.” Alex rolled her eyes and filled up a glass pushing it in
front of me. “What time you done?” I asked, taking a sip of my
beer.

“
Not til close. You don’t
have to wait. You can go back to my house or I could meet you at
yours?”

“
No. I’m not letting you
walk out of here alone.”

“
Cas, I’ll be fine. Gus
hired more help and no one is allowed to walk out by themselves
anymore.”

“
I feel better if I
personally walk you out myself,” I said, placing my glass back on
the bar.

“
Fine, but you better
behave,” she warned with a playful look.

“
I should say the same to
you.”

Girls came up to me all throughout the
night, making passes, giving me invitations to come home with them,
and slipping me numbers. I turned every single one of them down
letting them know I was happily taken. I could tell Alex was
getting very angry with all the women coming up to me and made it a
point to let me know how unhappy she was about it. Several nasty
looks and threats let the girls know just exactly who had stolen my
heart. “You better call off your groupies before someone walks out
of here in a body bag,” Alex growled.

“
Jealous?” I arched a
brow.

“
Keep it up and you’ll be
going home alone,” she warned, her jaw clenching, letting me know
how serious she was. I hid my smile to keep her from getting more
pissed off. I knew what she was capable of and a ticked off Alex
was not someone I wanted to mess with. I did my best to keep the
ladies at bay but my reputation had made it hard. Most of the girls
found it hard to believe that I actually was only seeing one
girl.

By the end of the night Alex barely said two
words to me. She stormed past me on the way out. “Alex,” I called,
taking on a light jog to keep up with her. I reached out to grab
her arm and stop her. “Alex, what are you so upset about?”

“
You seriously have to
ask?” She crossed her arms tightly over her chest. “All night I had
to remind you that you were no longer single.”

“
Are you kidding me?” Now
I was getting pissed. “I made it perfectly clear to every single
one of those girls that I was happily taken.” She turned away from
me. “Alex,” I touched her shoulder and spun her around to face me.
“You can’t get mad every time some girl comes up and talks to
me.”

“
You’re telling me you
wouldn’t get pissed off if some guy came up to me and started
putting his hands all over me?”

I gritted my teeth. “No.”

She threw her head back and laughed. She
slipped her arms up my chest, leaned in real close to my ear and
whispered, “You’re telling me that if some guy came up to me and
playfully dragged a finger up and down my arm,” she demonstrated,
making my whole body tense. “And whispered dirty little things in
my ear, you wouldn’t be the slightest bit upset?” She was egging me
on, but damn it she was right. I would have been furious if any guy
had laid a hand on her. I would have buried their face in the
ground. She dropped her arms and backed away, a big satisfied smile
on her face. There was no hiding the anger on my face at the
thought of another man touching Alex.

I backed her up against
the car making her suck in a breath. “I would break every bone in
their body, starting with the parts that touched you.” Slipping her
hands behind my neck, she tugged me closer for a kiss. Every body
part suddenly became aware of the gorgeous creature attached to my
lips. I pulled back resting my forehead on hers. “Alex, you know
it’s going to happen, but we both need to realize that everyone
else is just background noise and the only thing that
matters
,
is you
and me. I’m telling you now. There is and will never be anyone else
for me but you.” She ran a finger lightly along my jaw, sending a
thrill of heat up my neck.

Placing a tender kiss on my lips, she asked,
“My place or yours?”

Knowing Greyson was most likely going to try
his best to take home Kaylee, I thought it best to go to Alex’s,
wanting to avoid what could be the most awkward morning of my life.
I opened her door for her. “Yours,” I said as she buckled herself
in. “Lock your doors and wait till I get there.” She rolled her
eyes at me and put the car in reverse almost running over my
foot.

Alex was already inside before I got there.
I stifled a groan as I walked up the steps and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” she called in a sing song voice.

“
It’s your knight in
shining armor,” I smiled, leaning against the wall.

“
I don’t know any
knights.”

“
Alex, open the
door.”

“
I’m not supposed to open
the door to strangers.” I heard the neighbor’s door open and the
elderly woman next door was peeking out through the
crack.

“
Alex,” I growled, getting
the evil eye from the neighbor. I heard her giggle through the door
as she unclicked the locks. I pushed her back and slammed the door
behind us. “Your neighbor was about ten seconds away from chasing
me down the hall with a bat.” She waved me off like I was
exaggerating and reached behind me to lock the door. I didn’t know
how she managed to change so fast but she was out of her uniform
wearing a small t-shirt that barely reached the edge of her behind.
Her face was fresh and stripped clean of all make-up – which I
preferred – and she was positively glowing. She reached out a hand
for me and led me in the direction of the bedroom. Never getting
tired of checking her out, I tilted my head to the side. She was
still not wearing any underwear and each cheek flashed a little
with every step. I bit the inside of my cheek. This girl had
no idea how incredibly hot she was just by simply
being her. In two quick steps I reached her waist and spun her
around. She yelped, a little surprised. I bent down, picking her up
and throwing her over my shoulder. She let out a tiny scream,
laughing. I smacked her bare bottom as I carried her back to her
room.

I tossed her down on the bed and climbed on
top of her. I paused, grazing her cheek with the back of my hand
and took a moment to let everything sink in. I was never going to
stop wondering how lucky I was to have found her, to have her to
call my own. I was never going to get tired of touching her,
holding her in my arms.

“
Hey,” she breathed.
“Where you’d go?”

I blinked, looking down into her eyes.
“What?” I asked confused.

“
You seem somewhere
else.”

I closed my eyes and pressed a soft,
lingering kiss to her lips. “Nothing,” I smiled. I rested my head
on her chest, listening to her rushing heartbeat.

She gently caressed my hair with her
fingertips. “Hey, you okay?” I could hear the concern in her
voice.

“
Yeah,” I whispered,
running my hand over her side, stopping at her ribs. I could feel
her intake of breath as I traced the outline of her tattoo. “Can
I…can I just hold you for a while?”

“
Of course.” Alex scooted
down so she was now eye level. She pushed back the crazy strands of
hair that always fell by the end of the night. I closed my eyes and
let out a breath. Her touch always relaxed me. I tightened my grip
around her, pressing our foreheads together. “Should I be worried
about this little cuddle session?”
