Destroy Rebuild

A week later, I was putting Will to bed and turned on his monitor before slipping out the door, shutting it quietly behind me. Alex was due to be home at any moment and I still had a few things to finish up for my Welcome Home dinner for him.

The day I told Alex about Eric’s surprise visit was one of the most anxiety-ridden days of my life. Although Alex said it was fine, I picked up subtle hints throughout the day that it wasn’t true. He was smiling the whole time, but it was the kind of smile you fake. But I didn’t want to bug him about it – maybe he just needed a little time to get around it.

I was so excited for him to be coming home, though. I couldn’t wait for him to be there when I woke up in our bed and for us to have breakfast together and spend days with nobody but us. I joked to him about how I was going to be stingy with him, holding him hostage and making up for lost time with him. I was happy to hear he’d made the same plans.

As I was pulling the potatoes out of the oven I heard keys jingling at the front door and my heart skipped a beat. I set the tray on the stove top and sprinted to the door, my stomach over capacitated by butterflies when he swung it open. He looked up with tired eyes and smiled.

“Hey, beautiful,” he said in a low voice as he set his luggage down, pulling me into him tightly.

“Hi,” I sighed, my arms wrapped around his waist like pythons. “Welcome home.”

He gave me a tight squeeze before pulling back, his hands sliding from my cheeks to the back of my neck. My heart skipped a beat when he leaned in and kissed me and I almost melted into a puddle in front of him.

He ended the kiss and rubbed the tip of his nose against mine, causing me to giggle, and he gave me another quick peck before backing up to kick off his shoes.

“Where’s Will?” he asked.

“He’s sleeping. He didn’t have it in him to wait for you,” I smiled.

He smiled back briefly and took my hand, giving it a squeeze. “I want to go tell him goodnight.”

“Okay,” I nodded. “I’ll finish getting dinner ready.”

I was sprinkling some salt over the broccoli a few minutes later when Alex came into the kitchen shaking his head.

“I can’t believe how much he grew in a week,” he said.

I nodded as I started fixing our plates. “He almost started walking yesterday.”

He sighed as he leaned against the counter. “I know I kind of haven’t but I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot.”

“Not really,” I said with a shake of my head. “He grows little by little every day. But you were there for all his firsts. You heard his first laugh and his first word and he’s going to be walking soon.”

“Yeah, I know. I just wish I could have spent more time with him in his first months.”

I frowned at him. “I know, babe. But there’s still so many exciting things he has to do. I promise, you’ll get your time in with him.”

He smirked as he said, “We could always have another one. A redo, if you will.”

I scoffed. “We don’t need a redo right now, or at all actually. I think we’ve done just fine with Will.”

“Yeah,” he shrugged. “But I do want another one.”

I nodded. “Okay. Just not right now.”

“Fine,” he groaned playfully.

I shook my head and slid his plate across the island towards him. “I hope you’re hungry.”

“I am, but,…not for food.”

I looked up from my plate where I was setting a baked chicken breast. When I saw the serious, lustful stare he was casting me, my breath hitched in my throat.

“Is that so?” I asked, my voice involuntarily shaky.

He walked slowly around the island and took me by the wrist, slowly spinning me so I was facing him and lying my arms around his neck. His hands rested on my hips for a second before sliding back and over my butt.

“I missed every single bit of you,” he said quietly before moving his lips to the nape of my neck.

My heart rate instantly quickened as he sucked on the patch of skin. I held him close as my fingers tangled in his hair and I gasped when suddenly my legs weren’t holding me up but instead were wrapped around his waist. He sat me on top of the counter and detached his lips from my neck, reuniting them with mine.

He kissed me hungrily for a moment, our bodies pressed close together. His hand wove into my hair, holding me there, as if there was anywhere else I’d rather be.

He pulled away after a moment and in a breathy voice said, “I want you.”

I panted to catch my breath before whispering, “Have me.”

He smiled seductively before bringing his lips back to mine and lifting me back off of the counter, carrying me to the bedroom.

I stumbled momentarily as he stood me by the side of the bed. The room was dark except for the glow of the candle I lit earlier to make the room feel more cozy. The low light made me feel like my head was spinning from the amount of pleasure pulsating through my veins. He kissed me hard one last time and backed away slowly.

“Can you take your shirt off?” he asked, his voice husky.

I felt myself blush and pulled my shirt over my head. He stared at me for a moment before licking his lips.

“And now your shorts?”

I don’t know why I felt a little embarrassed to be undressing. The clothes were bound to come off anyway. But for some reason the idea of stripping for him while he watched felt kinkier than what I was used to. I loved how much it turned me on, though, and kicked my shorts to the side.

His eyes narrowed in on my body and he swallowed hard before saying, “Your bra.”
I reached behind me and undid the clasp, sliding the straps over my shoulders and tossed it behind him. I was normally self-conscious about my body but in the candle light glow and with the way he was looking at me, I felt like a goddess.

He shut his eyes slowly and made his way over to me, his hands caressing my body as they slid from my shoulders down to my breasts. I gasped when his palms slid over my nipples and down to my stomach. His fingers barely touched the skin of my thighs as they worked their way back up to my hips.

“So perfect,” he whispered, his lips inches from mine.

As I was about to lean in to kiss him, he lifted me up onto the bed. I felt myself throbbing at how badly I needed him while he peeled his clothes off, first his shirt and then his shorts. He walked slowly to me and climbed on the bed, laying me down before lying beside me with his body turned towards mine. My eyes fluttered closed when I felt him tug on the elastic of my underwear.

His fingers slid under my panties and I started breathing heavier when I felt one brush over my clitoris. Alex teased me for a little bit, rubbing light circles over the area before pressing down more firmly. My breath got caught in my throat as he started rubbing faster and when he flicked his tongue out over my nipple I almost started convulsing.

“Oh my god,” I moaned, the sentence choppy as I was having trouble controlling my breathing.

He smirked and I felt him slide two fingers inside of me while his thumb continued rubbing hard. It felt like my body was going to explode. My heart was beating so fast I swore I could hear it. I was so overcome with this building pressure that I couldn’t even make a sound until my walls collapsed, leaving me shaking and moaning his name.

Alex kissed me softly on the lips and I didn’t even have time to come down from the high before he was positioned between my legs and inserting himself into me. The feeling of him stretching me as he slid in and out slowly made me gasp. I’d forgotten how much I missed it.

“Yes,” he hissed.

My head fell back as he pushed himself deeper. “Alex.”

The smile he was flashing me cracked a bit when I lifted me hips slightly, allowing him room to go deeper. He lowered himself closer to me and I wrapped my arms around his neck. My legs bent at the knees and I pressed them into his hips. He responded by quickening his pace.

I moaned his name louder as he started going faster. My hands reached around his back, pressing on his bare skin before I couldn’t help but to dig my nails slightly. I assume that only turned him on more as he started going even faster and my nails left red streaks down his skin.

“Fuck,” he moaned.

I could tell by the way his face was contorting that he was nearing his release and the idea only sped up my progress. I was quickly speeding towards another finish line and when I felt him let go inside me, I tore through the yellow ribbon, our bodies celebrating gloriously with panting and trembling.

I gasped again when he pulled out of me, feeling suddenly empty. He collapsed on his back next to me and I rolled to face him, my head resting against his chest.

We laid in silence for a moment to recuperate when he let out a heavy breath and said, “God damnit I missed you.”

“I missed you,” I giggled, my speech a tad bit slurred from all the euphoria.

“I don’t want to go that long without having sex with you ever again,” he chuckled.

I sighed and nodded against his chest. “Deal.”
