Alex danced along to the radio as she tidied up the apartment she shared with her boyfriend. Her hips and ass swayed in the tiny denim shorts she was wearing and her tank top stopped at the case of her rib cage to expose a flat and lightly tanned tummy. Her dark blonde hair was piled carelessly on her head, and only a light touch of make-up was required to bring out her flawless complexion. Alex was 25 but looked 18. At just five feet tall she was head and shoulders shorter than her guy.
They had moved in together three months ago after a whirlwind six month relationship. Nathan, who was five years her senior, had spotted her working in a bar he frequented. At first she had assumed he was just a player on the make but he had been so relentless in pursuing her that she had wound up on a date with him. She had dressed to kill in her little black dress and heels but Nathan had taken her to a seedy club playing slow, bass laden dance music. Alex had been shocked to see the nasty looking doormen leap aside for him. They had been ushered into the 'VIP area' which basically consisted of a secluded booth and priority drinks service. Alex had been looking for the ladies toilets when she stumbled out through a fire door. A towering black man had stepped out of the shadows, reaching out to catch her wrist.
"Powder your nose luv?" His other hand flashed open to reveal a small paper wrap, then closed again.
"No thanks." She glared at him through narrowed eyes, waiting for him to let go of her. He didn't.
"Pretty thing like you shouldn't be all alone." His gaze dropped down the front of her dress. Alex staggered backwards and found that the fire escape had no handle on the outside. Fucking terrific.
"I was looking for my boyfriend." She announced with more confidence than she felt.
"You found him." He moved towards her, blocking her escape down an alley to the front of the club. Alex's ass hit a brick wall and she swallowed hard.
The fire door flew open and Nathan strode out. The black guy took one look at him and dropped Alex's wrist as though it had burned him but it was obvious that he had been cornering her. He stepped away but Nathan was already moving in. Despite being shorter and lighter than his enemy, Nathan annihilated him with a series of well placed blows. The guy was barely conscious when Nathan decided he'd had enough. Alex thought he was a hero until he growled an obscenity.
"Dealing on my fucking turf!"
"I'm fine by the way." Alex folded her arms, her expression mutinous.
"Of course you are. You're with me." He held out an arm to her. Alex was reticent.
"You're a drug dealer?"
"I'm a lot of things sweetheart... an urban entrepreneur."
Alex was disgusted with herself but there was something... compelling about him. Nathan was no limp-wristed metrosexual. He was six feet of hard muscle, lethal in a fight and totally unashamed of the underworld he operated in. Alex was as yet far too naive to comprehend one tenth of what that level of organised crime encompassed but she couldn't help being a little impressed. In addition, he was gorgeous and charming. His razor sharp wit and handsome face were two of the main reasons she had agreed to this date.
He refused to be drawn much on the nature of his business and within half an hour had moved the conversation on in a manner that brooked no argument. Alex remained ambivalent about him until right at the end of the night, when he took her home in a taxi and then kissed her goodnight.
He kissed her. He didn't laugh nervously, ask if she'd had a good time or if he'd see her again. He didn't move towards her hesitantly or let the conversation trail off in the hope that she would make the first move. He took her in his arms, tipped her head back and kissed her with a passion that took her breath away. Alex's whole body liquefied in his arms as he explored her mouth and took possession of it. Her eyes glazed and a low moan fell from her mouth into his as her body arched of its own volition. His big, powerful hands moved over her possessively, making her feel like she was made of spun glass. His scent was innately masculine, augmented no doubt by the workout her assailant had given him.
"Lexi." His deep voice rumbled in her ear, his desire dripping from every syllable.
She was always 'Lexi' to him after that... except when he was angry with her.
If he had bent her over the hood of the cab and fucked her right then and there she would have voiced no protest. From that moment she was utterly and irretrievably lost.
Of course he left her there and went home. Then he took three days to call her up and announce he was seeing her that evening. She could no more have refused him than stopped the Earth from spinning. As the months progressed she neglected her friends and when she moved into his apartment, her contact with her parents dwindled. Alex didn't care, she thought she had everything she needed. He had even commented that they didn't need the money from her bar job but Alex was reluctant to cede that last bit of independence.
She took a final look around the apartment and then headed into the kitchen to start cooking. She had a long bar shift ahead of her that evening and Nathan would be home expecting something to eat. She liked doing little domestic things like this for him. He couldn't cook at all but he was fond of eating out, so Alex figured it evened out. She turned the radio up a notch and started prepping vegetables.
