Chapter 10 has arrived! We are now in the double digits
Anyways, just as a heads up, this chapter is slightly borderline between T and M rated. So, if you might be uncomfortable with that, you have been warned. I didn't actually cross over to the M-rated side, because I can't really write that and I feel uncomfortable actually writing a scene like that… So, sorry for those who wanted me to!
Anyways, without further ado, I present chapter 10!
Amongst various emotions that were mixed into the kiss—lust, love, so on and so forth—the strongest emotion in the mix was relief. And not just the "in the moment" type of relief, but the general kind. Relief that Chloe's mother didn't disapprove of their relationship, for now, at least. Relief that Amy and Paul and Jasmine were rooting for them. Relief that they didn't have to worry about Brian coming in between them, although that was mostly from Alek's perspective. And, most importantly, relief that they were together and that they were happy together. Things were just perfect.
Alek gently pushed Chloe backwards until the back of her legs hit her desk. Alek then wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her up so that Chloe was sitting on the desk. Thank goodness she had decided that she wanted to clean her desk in the morning. Honestly, it was the most random urge while Alek was getting ready in the morning.
Alek kept one arm around Chloe and let his other arm rest on the desk as he leaned himself and Chloe lower. Chloe's arm, which had placed themselves around Alek's neck, pulled Alek closer, making their bodies completely pressed against one another. Alek pressed his hand against the small of her back, making Chloe's stomach push into Alek's chest.
God, he felt so good. He was so warm. And his kisses were so indescribably amazing. He was such a fantastic kisser. He knew exactly what to do to make Chloe go weak at her knees. Thank goodness she was sitting on a desk, or else she would have been a puddle on the ground by now.
Alek pulled away from Chloe, eliciting a whimper of disappointment which quickly turned into a moan of pleasure as Alek's teeth gently grazed down Chloe's neck and his lips began to trace her jaw. He continued these ministrations for a sold three minutes. He was teasing her relentlessly. He would gently bite where her neck met her shoulder and then begin kissing it to erase the feeling of the bite. His lips would wander around Chloe's jaw line. And, just when it seemed like he was about to kiss her, his head would dip back downwards towards her collarbone.
While Chloe was truly loving these ministrations, she was growing quite impatient with her boyfriend. Whenever she'd through her head in pleasure and then tilt her head back up, she'd be met with Alek's stare of lust and his hair that was tousled in thousands of directions from her fingers running through the locks, making him truly look like a sex god. She would expect him to smash his lips against hers, but, no, of course he wouldn't dare do such a thing. Instead, he would just continue to make her life miserable in the most pleasurable way.
But Chloe was having enough of this. She needed his lips on hers and she needed them now.
The next time that Alek pulled up his head up to look at Chloe, he was caught by surprise. The smirk that usually played around on his lips had managed to sneak away and rest on hers. Suddenly, he felt Chloe's fingers thread with the hairs at the nape of his neck and pull his head towards hers.
His lips came crashing down on hers with a sudden force that Chloe herself didn't expect. Alek must have added enthusiasm as she forced his body closer to hers, for the force with which Alek attacked Chloe's lips sent her flying backwards, hitting the wall. Chloe gave out a moan and the vibrations the left her mouth and entered Alek's made him moan in response.
Alek broke away for air. He didn't want to, but, in order for him and Chloe to continue the good time that they were having, they both needed to catch their breath.
Alek rested his forehead against Chloe's as they both panted, trying to get as much oxygen as they could so that they could last longer in round two of their evening.
"Bloody hell, Chloe." Alek's words came out as a loud whisper as he continued to pant.
"I guess I have ended up showing you some of my moves, after all," Chloe chuckled, following up on Alek's own pick-up line.
"Seriously, King? Really?"
"Yeah, Petrov. Really."
Chloe's voice dipped quite low with the last word. She then saw even more lust fill Alek's eyes as her husky tone brought out the primal animal in him once again.
Alek's lips collided with Chloe's once again as he pushed her further into the wall. Both Chloe and Alek could feel themselves getting hotter and more restless. Finally, when Chloe had lost patience, she grabbed the bottom of Alek's shirt and tugged upwards.
Within seconds, Alek understood Chloe's goal. He pulled back just a tad so that his hands could replace Chloe's on his shirt. He practically ripped off his shirt, leaving him bare-chested in front of Chloe.
One half of his mind was contemplating just letting Chloe stare at him for a minute or two, teasing her once again. But the other half, the louder half, was screaming for Alek to push his ego aside and combine his lips with hers once again.
And that's exactly what he did.
His tongue traced the bottom of Chloe's lips, not just begging for entrance, but practically demanding it. Chloe easily complied. She wasn't in the mood to be stubborn and tease Alek like he had teased her. Their tongues engaged in yet another battle for dominance. They both wanted to win, but, this time, Chloe was not backing down from the fight. Her tongue pushed up on his just like her body was doing at the moment. She was trying to distract Alek by running her fingers up and down Alek's perfectly sculpted abs.
It almost worked.
Alek gave into her for a second, on one hand, being genuinely pleasured by Chloe, but, on the other hand, allowing her the satisfaction of thinking that she had won the battle. But the war was not over.
Alek allowed himself to revel in Chloe's touch. He could feel his muscles clenching and flexing themselves under her fingers, as if they had minds of their own and were begging for more of Chloe's affections.
But his moments of relaxation were over. Now, it was his turn to, once again, take over.
Alek hooked his arms under Chloe's knees and pulled her towards him, groin to groin. Chloe could feel something pressing against her thigh and it took a moment to realize that Alek was merely excited. She was caught off guard, however, eliciting a gasp. This made her give up her dominance over Alek's tongue, a moment of which Alek took full advantage.
Chloe realized that she somehow needed to regain her dominance in this position. How, she only had one idea. It would most likely work, although it might also give an unnecessary boost to Alek's ego. But, hey, it's all worth a try, right?
Alek was enjoying his moment of having the upper hand in this make out session. It made him feel manly. To Chloe's advantage, it made him feel responsible to please Chloe in all possible ways.
Alek's arm that had stayed around Chloe's waist for the entire evening slowly began to move out of position. His hand slid under Chloe's shirt to skim the bare skin on the small of her back. He could feel the shiver that ran up her spine the moment his hand begin to tickle her skin. He smirked against her lips.
His smirk didn't stay long, however. In fact, it flew off of his face as if it had never existed there in the first place. What, may you ask, caused this rare occurrence to take place?
Chloe's hand that had been running up and down Alek's chest suddenly dipped lower. Her finger skimmed the top of Alek's jeans that hung relatively low on his hips, tracing the outline of the top. Then her hand dipped even lower until Alek felt a squeeze on his manhood that made his smirk flee.
He growled into Chloe's mouth, but still unable to regain his composure. Dominance had, once again, been surrendered to Chloe. She squeezed him once again, this time, holding on a little bit longer, while smirking against Alek's lips.
Alek tried hard to fight back, but he honestly couldn't find the strength at the moment. He was too weakened by Chloe's touch and how she somehow managed to add the perfect amount of pressure, resulting in an overwhelming amount of pleasure being shot through his entire brain, registering his brain useless.
Chloe squeezed once more, a little bit harder this time, forcing Alek's hips to subconsciously jerk forward into her hand, but then her ministrations were over. She pulled her hand away and slid it back up his chest to rest on his shoulder. Alek then pulled away, practically growling at the loss of touch.
"Now, Alek, see how easily I can control you?" Chloe smirked.
This just turned Alek on even more. Since when did the somewhat innocent and naïve Uniter become so fucking sexy?
To Chloe, Alek looked like an obedient puppy. He looked as if he was about to beg for more of her touch, more of her attention. To Chloe, it looked like Alek was slowly beginning to admit defeat. But Chloe didn't see the wheels turning in Alek's head.
After Alek had taken a moment to regain his composure, he began creating a plan in his mind. It wasn't a very elaborate one, but step one was to convince Chloe that she was winning. Which, as you can tell, had already been completed. Step two was to regain control.
Instead of begging like a puppy, Alek began to stare at Chloe with such an intense gaze that even she was beginning to be a little bit scared. Then, Alek grabbed the back of Chloe's neck and pulled her closer to him, smashing his lips onto hers. This instantaneously elicited a moan from Chloe, but it was more of a gasp of surprise mixed in with a whimper of pleasure than an actual moan.
Chloe felt his need for dominance through his kiss. She felt his need to pleasure her, the need to know that he was the one that would make her moan. She figured that she had had enough of the upper hand for one night: she caved in.
Alek could sense Chloe's defenses wearing off. He could feel her will to control him slipping away. He would have smirked, but he was too engrossed in the kiss to do so.
Alek kept scrambling to get Chloe to be closer to him. He was convinced that, even though their bodies were completely flushed against each other's, they could somehow get even closer. As he moved his arms around Chloe to pull her closer, his fingers would hook onto Chloe's shirt and hike it up. It wasn't intentional, it just happened.
Soon, Chloe's shirt was half off of her shoulder and her entire stomach was exposed. Alek and Chloe were now skin to skin. Alek had never felt such a beautiful sensation in his life. Her somewhat cool skin against his burning skin drove him insane. He never ever wanted this moment to end.
Unfortunately, it had to. Somewhere, in the back of Alek's mind, he thought that he had heard something. He pulled away from Chloe to pay more attention, leaving her in a confused and breathless daze.
Thank goodness he did pull away, for the sound in the back of his mind turned out to be the footsteps of a certain Meredith King, who would kill both him and her daughter if she caught them in the positions that they were in. They still had time, since the footsteps were approaching them slowly and were relatively far away from Chloe's room.
"Your mom is about to come in." Alek whispered loudly as he caught his breath.
"Shit…" Chloe's eyes barely widened, but at the moment, her brain had no possibility of ordering her limbs to move.
"Go to your bathroom and start brushing your teeth." Alek ordered gently.
"Wait, why?" Now Chloe was becoming really confused, which was the last thing she needed to be at the moment.
"Because I have made your lips become quite swollen, and you need to hide that," Alek said proudly, running his thumb on Chloe's lower lip. Never had he ever seen a more beautiful sight than the blushing, swollen lipped girl in front of him.
Chloe merely nodded in response as she finally willed her legs to move her to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Alek grabbed his shirt and hid in the small space between the wall and the bed, satisfied with his plan only when he heard Chloe begin to brush her teeth.
Then, finally, there was the highly anticipated knock on the door.
"Chloe?" Meredith asked. She then turned the doorknob and entered, thinking that she had given Chloe a long enough warning before coming in. Just as she stepped into the room, Chloe popped out of her bathroom with a toothbrush sticking out of her mouth.
"Mhm?" Chloe hummed, not being able to actually speak due to the toothbrush in her mouth.
"Can I borrow your toothpaste? I seem to have forgotten mine back at the hotel…" Meredith looked hopefully at her daughter.
Chloe then ran quickly into her bathroom, grabbed the toothpaste and headed back to her mother, thanking Bastet that she wasn't questioning the banging noises coming from her room. She had no idea how to explain that one.
"Thank you very much, I'll give it back in the morning. I love you, and before you try speaking with froth all over your lips, I know, 'implied'. Good night!" Chloe merely smiled at her mother in response as Meredith closed the door behind her.
"Well, thank goodness we dodged that bullet!" Alek chuckled as Chloe headed back into the bathroom to rinse out the toothpaste. "Thank goodness we're Mai, or else we wouldn't have been able to hear her coming." Alek took a seat on Chloe's bed, leaning back and resting on his elbows, his shirt thrown over his shoulder.
"Well, if we weren't Mai, we probably still wouldn't even be speaking to each other at school," Chloe pointed out with a smile on her face, being the smart one that she is. She then sat on her bed near Alek's head, crossing her legs and putting her hands in her lap.
"I never said that that was the only reason that I was grateful that we are Mai." Alek shot Chloe his infamous smirk.
Chloe then leaned down and placed a kiss on Alek's lips. It was much more gentle than the kisses that they shared a few minutes ago, since their mood was kind of ruined by the intrusion, but the kiss was a solid length, nonetheless. It was just much more tender, filled with more love than lust, with soft passion, as opposed to the fiery kind.
Chloe soon pulled away and gave Alek a look that read 'it's time to go to bed'. It was Thursday tomorrow and not, only did they have school, and not only did Chloe have work, but there was also dinner. THE dinner, where Alek would come over and officially meet Chloe's mom, in less compromising situations.
The next day, Chloe couldn't stop tapping her foot or shaking her pencil in her hand at school. She was so nervous for Alek coming over for dinner. In the back of her mind, she knew that everything would be fine, but she just couldn't help but panic. Even Lana noticed how antsy Chloe was, so she let her leave work an entire hour early. Jasmine was on Uniter-duty, so that Alek could go and get ready, so at least Chloe had a friend to calm down her nerves. It kind of worked, enough to make sure her mom thought that she was relatively sane when she walked through the door.
"Hi, sweetheart, I thought you were working today." Her mom was in the kitchen, already preparing for the dinner with Alek, even though he wasn't due to arrive for another hour and a half.
"Oh, uh, I think Lana had some family stuff to take care of, so she wanted to close the shop a bit earlier today. So, I guess I'm home to help prepare for dinner… in an entire hour and half…" Chloe tried to squeeze out the reason why her mother was putting in so much effort for a boy who, up until recently, was dubbed as "the bed boy".
"I read this amazing recipe this morning in a magazine for a cake, so I thought that I might as well try it out tonight. It says the cake needs to bake for a while, so I put it in now, but I'll start the actual dinner in about half an hour or so. I think that that should be enough time." Meredith was walking around the kitchen, cleaning up whatever mess her baking made. Chloe lent a hand.
"What's for dinner?" Chloe asked.
"I was thinking of making spaghetti with that sauce that you like, the one with mushrooms and… what's that white stuff called again?"
"Alfredo sauce?"
"Yeah, Alfredo. That's it."
"Well, I'm sure Alek will love it."
Meredith paused her motion to turn around and look at her daughter.
"You really like him, don't you?" she smiled at Chloe.
"More than you can even imagine, mom."
Instead of responding, Meredith simply smiled and turned back around to wash the bowls covered in chocolate batter. She couldn't remember the last time that she had ever seen Chloe this happy. Not since her father left, and that was thirteen years ago, when Chloe was a baby and was always smiling, completely unaware of the flaws in the world. Maybe her first impression of Alek wasn't the best, but, if he made her daughter this happy, then she could easily warm up to him.
Soon, the table was set and dinner was ready. Chloe had stood in front of her closet for at least a half hour, deciding on what to wear. She eventually decided on a pair of dark skinny jeans and a purple tank top tucked into the jeans, spilling over the brim just a little bit, adding a delicate amount of volume to the shirt. She decided to let her hair down and put on a pair of long earrings that almost matched the color of her hair, blending in with her curls.
She came downstairs just as the doorbell rang, signaling that Alek was here and that the most stressful night that Chloe could ever think of enduring had begun.
"I'll get it!" Chloe yelled as she dashed from the stairs to the doorway, almost slipping and falling due to the combination of socks and hardwood flooring.
Chloe regained her balance only once she grabbed the door handle. In an attempt to straighten her back, she accidentally opened the door, only to be met with an attractive smirk belonging to an even more attractive man leaning against the outside of the door frame.
Alek was wearing dark jeans, matching the color of Chloe's ideally, along with a light blue button up shirt, with the top button being undone so that it still had a casual look. It took Chloe a second to register that this was her boyfriend standing in front of her.
"Hi," Chloe breathed out.
Alek chuckled at how simple Chloe's greeting was as he stepped towards her and tucked a finger under her chin.
"Hi," Alek responded, and then genuinely smiled before he tilted Chloe's head upwards to greet her with a soft kiss.
When they pulled apart, Chloe blushed and took Alek's hand, leading him into her house, towards the kitchen and dining area.
"Oh, hi, there, Alek." Meredith smiled towards the boy, and smiled even more when she saw how Chloe's and Alek's finger were intertwined. "You came just in time. The spaghetti just got finished."
Meredith then went to place another bowl on the table set for three next to salad bowl.
"It smells delicious, Ms. King." Alek gave Meredith the second genuine smile of the evening.
Chloe's worst fear for the evening was that they would sit and eat, and all that they would hear would be the hollow clanking of forks and knives against the plate. Instead, Chloe found herself being the third wheel as Alek and her mother seemed to have quickly formed a friendship and a knack for talking endlessly. Chloe couldn't remember the last time that she had heard her mother laugh so hard around someone else besides her. It felt good to know that her mom felt comfortable around her boyfriend.
Dinner soon came to an end and it was time for Alek to leave. Well, "leave" in the sense of walk out of the door and then enter again using Chloe's window, but still, according to Meredith, he had to leave.
"Dinner was wonderful, Ms. King, especially the chocolate cake. It was marvelous. Thank you so much for having me," Alek said, being the suave man that he is.
"It was my pleasure having you, Alek. You're welcome any time. Maybe next time, you can bring Jasmine and your aunt to join us!"
"That sounds lovely, thank you, again."
"Here, I'll walk you out." Chloe intervened, before this conversation would turn into one of those conversations where neither person would stop responding to the other's response, question or not. Then Alek would be standing in their hallway forever.
"I'm so glad that that went smoothly," Chloe smiled to Alek, who already had one foot out of the door.
"I can't believe you would ever doubt me! Mothers always love me! Especially for their daughters!" Alek feigned disbelief and hurt, causing Chloe to giggle like a little girl. "I'll be in your room in about an hour, I'm just going to head back to my apartment for a moment, check on Jasmine and stuff."
"Sure. I'll see you soon." Chloe stood on her tip toes so that she could reach Alek's lips. She placed one last soft kiss on his lips before Alek smiled, turned around, and ran off back to his apartment.
Chloe soon came back in and closed the door, leaning against it. She sighed with such relief. This night couldn't have gone any better. There had been no reason for her to worry.
Yes! Chapter 10! Done!
