green flickering like the color of lit brandy aflame. “What are you talking about? I’m not with Laura.” He breathes sex into my mouth.
I turn my head to the side and hiss, “Don’t screw with my head, Alexandre! I saw you enter Laura’s front door today. You fucked her in the middle of the afternoon. You took her a gift in a big box. You’re living with her. You’re going to marry her – she said so!” The words come out in screeches and squeals. I must be waking up the whole building – not the best start to my new life here in this apartment.
To my horror, Alexander says nothing, just shakes his head as if in disbelief. I step back away from him and observe a huge bulge in his jeans and a look of libidinous need in his eyes. Laura was right, he’s ‘in lust’ with me. He loves her and wants to be with her but he wants to ‘fuck’ me. His hand cups his crotch as if to adjust his massive, uncontrollable weapon – a weapon that wants to claim me and posses me. He’s wearing one of his hand-tailored, made-to-measure suits. I wonder if the Savile Row tailor instinctively knows he needs to give extra space in that area – room for Alexandre’s ‘weapon’ to flex and maneover itself.
I feel dizzy, nauseous, because my desire is as potent as his. I want to stay strong – I need to protect myself but all I can think of, right now, is ripping off my panties and spreading my legs for him. He’s so good looking and sexy that I’m melting before him like the pathetic ice cream cone that I am. Where is my will power?
He edges closer to me, brushes his lips along my neck so I quiver with longing. I’m trying to hide my craving. He whispers in my ear “You have to trust me, baby. I don’t want Laura. I haven’t fucked Laura and I’m not living with her – that’s crazy, please believe me.”
“It’s not crazy! She said so. And I saw you with my own eyes at her house!”
“Well, she was talking nonsense. I just zipped by her house to drop something off.”
“Bullshit! You haven’t even called me, you haven’t picked up your cell – you’ve been avoiding me!”
His voice is gentle. “I haven’t called you because I knew you needed time to sort your head out. Let’s face it, Pearl, you were all over the place. You needed time alone to reflect; not only those nightmares and all that shit, but on the whole Sophie issue, which I hear is resolving itself nicely. She told me you bumped into each other.” He cups his large hand on my butt and I’m too mesmerized by him to move. “I didn’t get in touch, chérie, because things were too haywire.” He breathes into my ear and adds huskily, “But it’s been hell for me; I’ve missed you like crazy. You’re all I can think of night and day. I’m obsessed with you. I’ve been going around with a hard-on for two weeks. Please Pearl, calm me down. I feel like an animal – I need you – I need you, baby.”
My heart is racing and my stomach’s churning in nauseous waves. I’m so crazy about this man, it is literally making me feel sick. “You just want to fuck me and then go right back to Laura,” I spit out. “What were you doing bringing her that massive box? A gift, no doubt – perhaps a Kelly Bag?”
Squint lines radiate from his face as if he’s amused but he notices the set fury on my face and states quietly, “I was bringing Laura her books from my house in Provence, that’s all. You didn’t like them being there – I wanted to make you feel more at home.”
“That’s crap and you know it! Why didn’t you get Madame Menager to just Fedex them?”
“Because the last time I used Fedex, the package, which happened to be worth a lot of money, went AWOL for three weeks. Madame Menager had put Royaume Uni on the address and it went back and forth to Romania three times – they used the first two letters, the RO. Customer service in France is a disaster -I didn’t want to risk it. I needed to pop by my house – the
