For my wonderfully anxious readers. Please leave me some reviews, let me know what you think. Not a ton of action in this chapter, but the next installment will be a little more wild. Hope you all enjoy. Nalex is among us 3

Alex woke up to find Norma still resting on his chest. He ran his fingers through her hair, and dropped a kiss on her forehead. Her magnificent eyes fluttering open at the feeling of his lips on her. He smiled at her hazily.

"Hi" he said playfully.

"Hello" she replied, crawling back on top of him.

She busied her fingers with his chest hair.

"I had an amazing time last night" he declared, his hands resting on her lower back.

"I did too" she leaned up and kissed him again.

She was as addicted to his lips as he was to hers.

His hands fell on her cheeks, as she pulled away.

"Wanna take a shower?" he grinned seductively.

A devilish smile graced her pouty lips and she nodded.

She got up out of the bed, he followed her, taking her hips in his hands, lifting her up off her feet, which she soon wrapped around his waist.

He smirked and carried her into the bathroom.

They stood under the warm water, clutching onto each other.

"Can I tell you something?" she uttered, her eyes resting on his sweetly.

"Anything" he answered, his thumbs on her cheeks.

"I'm just really grateful to you for helping me the other night" she professed, her hands interlacing at the back of his neck.

"Well, you were in trouble" he said quietly, pecking her cheek.

"Alex?" she whispered into his water prickled chest.

"Yeah?" he replied, his eyes focused on the top of her head.

"I'm really happy you're here" she murmured, her lips against his skin.

As Norma watched Alex leave for work later that morning, she felt an emptiness, like part of her was being pulled away. She was grateful she made a move on him, she didn't realize she felt that way about him. Being with Alex was different from being with George and drastically so. Everything was the polar opposite , the way he spoke to her was gentle, he looked at her with kind eyes and a smile, and in bed he took his time with her, put her pleasure before hers. Thinking about him put a smile on her face, she knew he was going to make her happy. He respected and protected her.

Her thoughts on Alex were interrupted when she heard her ringtone go off in her pocket, she reached in and answered.

"Hello?" she questioned.

"Norma. It's George" he said, his voice sounding rushed almost.

She felt anger course through her veins, she scrunched up her face in hatred.

"Leave me alone" she replied scornfully, hanging up and tossing it next to her.

What could that asshole want? He showed his true intentions last night. Norma felt extreme fury when she looked back on their encounter. She felt the exact same way she used to with Sam. She swore he possessed George. She felt victimized, weak, and worst of all, hurt by someone who she honestly loved. She took a deep breath, not wanting to relive the past. She jerked her head to the side as she heard her phone ring again. She answered.

"Yes?" she said.

"Just let me explain-" George panted, sounding guilt ridden.

Norma quickly hit end on the call, fed up. She refused to fall for it again. She knew the cycle, hit, apologize, kiss, make up, and hit again. She'd had to deal with it since she was 11, from Caleb, Sam, and now George, she cringed at the thought of enduring more abuse. Caleb forced himself on her, and she'd been to little to protect herself. But when she fell in love with Sam, it was different, she knew she could end it, she just kept hearing the little girl inside of her screaming "No! He'll hurt you worse!" and she couldn't handle it. It was a different circumstance now that she had Alex, who would take care of her and defend her against her new abuser. She felt herself jump again, as her phone rang for the third time, she inhaled sharply preparing for another call from George.

"Hello?" she answered, about to blow.

"Hi" her expression and demeanor changed as she recognized it was Alex's voice over the other end.

She was so happy to hear him, she giggled like a teenage girl.

"What are you doing?" she asked, her face dreamy and soft.

"Nothing, just working on a file. What about you, everything okay?" he questioned.

She could her the protective nature of his voice, making her heart thump hard in her chest. She'd never had a man who so gallant towards her.

"Everything is fine" she replied, her tone sweet and reassuring.

Norma knew she couldn't tell him about George calling, it would only stir up another bad incident between the two.

"Good" he responded relieved.

"So, why are you calling?" she asked, already getting flirty.

"Honestly? I just wanted to hear your voice" he admitted sheepishly.

"Your so corny" she laughed, though her cheeks were filled with beet red adoration.

"I'm sorry" he mocked playfully.

"It's okay, I like it" she heartened.

"I like you" he flirted.

She giggled sultrily.

"I like you, too" she alleged seductively.

"And will you be up later tonight so I can see you?" he questioned with a heavy heart.

"Of course. Looking forward to it" she commented cheerfully.

"Wonderful. Bye, Norma" he dismissed her.

"Bye, Alex" she said, smiling at her screen as she hung up.

On his ride home that night, all Alex could think about was Norma, she was on his mind 24/7. He couldn't believe they'd actually had sex the night before, it was more amazing than he'd ever imagined and he had his fair share of fantasies. He was going to take it slow with her, he was in love with her, but he knew she didn't feel the same way yet. Norma had just got out of a tough relationship with that asshole George, he wasn't going to rush her, but he would charm her. Alex hadn't been in a relationship for a good two years, he wanted to make his newly formed union with her perfect.

As he pulled up to the motel, his heart beat faster and faster, he was so anxious to see Norma. When he opened the door to room 9, he thought he was going to explode.

Norma was posed on his bed, wearing only a blue and red lace thong and a matching bra.

His mouth dropped open and watered as he scanned her. She rose from the bed and stalked over towards him.

She kissed his lips hard and took his hand in hers, bringing him to the bed.

She moved so she was facing him, she gently pushed him back on the bed.

"Nor-"

"Shhh" she shushed him, placing a velvety finger on his lips.

He watched her as her hands moved towards his waist band.

She unbuckled and unzipped his uniform pants.

She reached into his boxers and pulled out his hard on.

She looked at it and licked her lips.

She bit her lip and looked at Alex, giving him a sexy smile, before slowly placing her tongue on the head of his cock.

He gasped in pleasure, as she hollowed her cheeks and swirled her tongue around on his length.

She moaned softly as she slurped.

"Norma" he moaned as he felt her flick her tongue back and fourth.

He wasn't going to last for much longer, he gripped the bed sheets and grunted as he dissolved into pleasure.

She came back up to face him, her lips darkened and wet with saliva.

He felt his insides ignite as she gave him a sultry smirk, and kissed his lips.

"What did I do to deserve that?" he asked, still trying to catch his breath.

"Don't question it" she giggled, dropping a kiss on his neck.
