Hope you all are having a great Monday! One thing I forgot to address before the last chapter was the scene with Raphael at the club. Izzy handled it and Alec came at the end when Magnus was already in his overwhelmed state. His main priority will always be Magnus and since Izzy's a Dom, Raphael knew better than to push his luck. If that makes it a cliche, so be it. I just tried to put myself in both of the shoes and know I would trust the Dom I left my sub with and so they would be my priority, especially since Alec would know how worried Magnus was about going to the club in the first place. Hope that clears it up for some of you. :)B

MAGNUS

I wake up with a smile on my face, this last week has been hectic. I had a great meeting last night and talked to Dr. Blackthorn after. We had a very deep conversation as she wanted to know how things were with Alexander. I tell her everything because I know how much it'll help in the long run, for me and Alexander. I told her about what had progressed last week, how much exploring we have accomplished. She did the typical doctor/patient questions on how I felt and if I was really alright with it. And I was! We were both so excited for me to be at the place I was, it was so far from where I had been. I told her that I wanted to explore some more, but was worried about Alexander.

I wasn't scared of my boyfriend by any means, and told her that, I just didn't want him to feel like he couldn't control himself if I wanted my pants to come off. She knew about his lifestyle and what he has decided for himself, so she understood my worry. Having someone that close to me and having a fear about what would happen if I couldn't stop him was a big thing for me, my last big hurdle. She told me to start it slow and talk to Alec so he knew what my fear was about the journey to nakedness. I shake my head as I hear my mom open the door.

"Hey, sweetie. I'm going out to an early movie and lunch with Dan before my shift so I'll see you in the morning. Is Alec coming over?"

I smile and sit up. "Yeah, I'm cooking dinner tonight for us and he's bringing movies. I'll see you in the morning."

She smiles and nods as she shuts the door.

I throw the blanket off my body and then raise my hands to stretch, my back arching like my kitty, who's still sleeping. I get up and make my way to the bathroom, doing my business. I decide to wait on the shower so I can make it to the market early. I was making Chicken Milanese with Spring Greens which was Alec's favorite. Since I needed a lot of green veggies, I needed to hit the market to get what was needed. I keep on my lounge pants, but put on a white tank and slip on some flip flops. I but a bandana on my head and grab my keys and phone to head out to the market. I stop by the kitchen, filling up the food and milk for Chairman when he gets out of bed. I then make my way out of the apartment. I lock the door and turn to head out to my car. When I get to the car, I see white and red rose petals, which had me think of Alec at first, till I saw the note. "I can get you at any point." was on it.

I pushed all the petals off the window and then got into the car. Alec was sparring with his brother today, wanting to spend time with him since his little break down last week and I didn't want to bother him. I made sure I had my phone where I could get to it easily enough. I pull out and make my way to the market. I park as close as I can and keep my phone in my hand as I walk to the vendors. I make my way through the tables, keeping an eye on my surroundings. I pick up some veggies that we were low on and got some spinach for my meal for later. I also grabbed some fruit and then headed back to my car, thankful that nothing was on it this time. I did take a picture of the note for Alec to see later.

I was hoping it didn't mess up what I was hoping we could explore after the dinner though. I get home and quickly get into my house, locking the deadbolt and the chain. I see my kitty laying on the couch and smile, turning on my ipod and docking it. I get into the kitchen and put my things where they went. I did sit out the chicken and put it into the marinate to get it soaking while I took a shower. Alec was suppose to be here about 6 and so I needed to get to work since it was about 3 now. I sit the bowl of chicken into the fridge and then went back to the bathroom. I turned on the spray and then pulled my clothing off, sitting my wallet on the counter. I took my glasses off and set them next to my wallet, getting into the tub. The water felt good and helped to release the tension that the note put into my muscles a couple hours ago.

I quickly shampoo and condition my hair, washing my body quickly. I turn the water off after rinsing and got out. I shaved as quickly as I could with keeping my skin smooth. I walk into my room and pull down a pair of black pants, slipping them on. I went into the kitchen to finish preparing the meat and then put it in the oven to cook for the required time. I went back into the bedroom and got down my white button up and slipped my arms through. I buttoned it up, leaving the top three undone and the rolled up the sleeves to my elbows. I went back into the bathroom and switched my glasses for contacts and then blinked to get my eyes used to them. I hear my phone make a sound and so go to check it in my room.

"Getting in shower, give me about 45." was from my boyfriend.

"Alright, love you." I sent back and set at my vanity.

I put some kohl on my eyelids and then added a thick eye liner, making my eyes point like a cats. I add some white chalk to my hair and then add the glitter gel to keep everything as it should be. I wash my hands in my bathroom and then go to check on the chicken. Ten minutes, good, that's plenty of time. I pull out the rice and get it heating up for the wild rice to go with the chicken. I then take out the greens I had gotten and some of the veggies to make a salad. I get all the trimming in the salad and then make my light ranch dressing that my mother tells me is better than bottle. I set the salad in the wooden salad bowl that had matching salad utensils and sit them on the table.

I mix the rice so it doesn't stick and take down two black and white plates, setting the table with the flatware. I take out some of mom's white wine that she said we could have when I told her what I was planning to make and put it in the ice bucket to get it cold since it was a new bottle. I took the glasses to the table and then took the chicken out of the stove, sitting the pan on the top of it. The rice was finished and so I drained the water and added the spices needed for it, mixing it in the bowl I was planning on using. I set the bowl on the table as well and then went back to grab the dish for the chicken. I had just set the chicken down when I heard the doorbell, forgetting I locked the door. I went and unlocked all the locks and opened it.

"Hey, darling." I smile, stepping aside for him.

He walked in and I shut the door, giving him a kiss. "I just finished, hungry?"

He smiles and kisses me again. "Smells good, and hello, Magnus."

I smiled and he sat the movies down as we headed over to the table. He scooted my chair back and then helped me get into it. "Such a gentleman."

He chuckles as he sat down. "That's me. You made my favorite, thank you."

I smile and we dish out our helpings. We talk about our day as we eat and I take my phone and hand him the picture I took of the note. He asked if I knew who would have left it and the only thing I could come up with was Ragnor. He didn't seem to pleased, which I can't blame him for.

"I think he's just trying to scare us. You're usually with me, or mom is." I explain.

He nods. "Yes, this is true. I'm cleaning since you cooked. It's fair and no arguments. You pick the first movie."

I just nod and he gets up to put everything in the washer. This is why I didn't argue because it takes like five minutes to load the thing. I went into the living room to look at the movies he picked out. They were some new ones I haven't seen. I liked Johnny Depp and so picked that one. I had just got everything loaded and then turned to see Alec coming into the room. He pulled me to him as we sat on the couch and we started the movie. I laid my head on his chest and my arm went around his waist. I hadn't told him about what I talked to my doctor with. I didn't know how to approach it. I felt Alec's fingers run through my hair and sighed, the tension leaving me. The movie was quite funny, but all I could think of was the man I was laying on. I felt his fingers start to run down my arm and it was causing goosebumps under the fabric of my shirt.

I decided to test something and started to move my fingers. They went under the hem of his shirt and moved in swirls on his skin. He loves his hips getting attention, this I knew and didn't mind giving it. I felt him sigh and his hand move to the bottom of my shirt. I sighed as his fingers started running over the small of my back and looked up at him. He was looking at me with a small smile and I gave him one back. I watched as he started to lean down and moved so I could meet him halfway. The kiss started out slow, but quickly heated up as his tongue asked for mine. I moved and straddled his lap as our tongues started their dance together. I could feel him all over me as his arms wrapped around me to keep me in place. My hands went to his shirt and I started to undo the button that lined his torso. He moaned as my fingers found his nipples, flicking them the way I knew he liked it.

His hands ran lightly from where they were to my chest and a sigh fell from my lips as he started to discover more of my skin. When air was needed, his lips traveled their way down the exposed skin as more of the shirt was open. My hands made their way back to his shoulders and slowly removed his shirt from his torso. He pulled back up and kept his eyes on mine as my shirt quickly added to his on the floor. I smile and lean back in touch his lips with mine and moan as his hands caress my hip bone.

I pull back and wrap my arms around his neck. "I wanna tell you something."

Alec nods. "You alright?"

I nod and kiss him lightly. "I talked to Blackthorn last night."

"About…"

I can feel his thumbs on my skin, trying to help me calm down. It was working.

"About you and me and steps."

He nods, keeping his eyes on mine as I try to figure out how to word my worries.

I take in a breath and let it out, keeping myself calm.

"I think the biggest things is that I'm worried when the rest of the clothing comes off, I can't stop you. I know you will stop, but it's hard to get over it and so I'm worried."

He smiles and cups my face in his hands. "I get that. Did you have a reason for that because you call the pants shot, baby, not me."

I know a light blush showed up, which doesn't happen often, but his smile let me know it did. He pulled me to him and wrapped me in a hug. He held me for a moment and I wrapped my arms tighter around him, holding him close.

"Just what we're doing, Alexander." I whisper.

I feel his breath hitch as I whisper his name, like he always does. He pulls back and we get into the kissing once more. As our tongues come out to play and our hands explore, he turns so I'm laying on the couch with him between my legs. He feels so good over me, the sensations increase with each touch, each kiss. When airs once again needed, he moves his lips in a trail down my heated skin, heading to my nipple.

"Damn, Alexander." I moan as he sucks my nipple into his mouth, his fingers twisting the other.

He continues his exploration lower and my fingers twist in his hair, getting tangled in it. My back arches as a moan comes out when his tongue licks around my navel, poking into the small crevice. I pull him back up to me and plunge my tongue into his mouth. I feel his hand grip my hip, his nails in my skin.

"Damn, darling. Don't stop that."

He smiles against me and pushes his nails a bit more into my skin. The pleasure that came from that small bit of pain had me reeling. My hips buck into his and he pushes back into me, causing my legs to widen out of instinct. We get into a rhythm, I decide to take a chance on him, trusting him with everything.

"Alec...please." I whisper in his ear.

He pulls back to look at me, our hips not stopping as he asks the question with his eyes.

I buck up with more power than I was giving and his moans out loud at the friction. He leans back to kiss me as he picks up the speed.

"Take the off, please." I mumble against his lips.

He pulls back abruptly to look at me. "Sure?"

I move my hand from his skin and put it against his cheek. "I trust you."

He smiles and turns his head to kiss my palm. I pull him back to me and as we get back into it, I feel his hand begin to move. He knows I'm nervous as hell and so he gets me relaxed and back into the sensation of what we're doing. I feel him undo my pants and pull the zipper down and lift my hips just enough to help get them over my ass.

"Commando?"

I smirk at him as he pushes my pants to my knees. I toe off my shoes and then use my legs to get them the rest of the way off.

"Holy sweet, mmmm, Alexander." I moan as he wraps his hand around me.

Without the fabric to constrict him, he feels ten times better than he has been. He smirks as he brings his mouth back to mine, kissing me hungrily. I make a bold move and move my hand down his torso and pull his jeans off. His grip on me falters a bit as I can now wrap my own fingers freely around him. He stops me though and pulls back. "Trust me?"

I nod and the takes both of my wrists into one of his hands and raises them over my head.

"Stretch your legs apart as far as you can, a bit of pain, Magnus."

I nod, moving one of my legs over the back of the couch and the other as far as I can get it.

"OH DAMN, ALEXANDER." I scream out as he moves his dick to slide over mine.

He leans down and kisses me, leaving my arms locked in his hand. "Thought you'd like that."

He brings his other hand to bend the leg not over the couch and puts it over his shoulder, reaching a new angle. All I can do is twitch and moan as he turns me into mush. We're moving together and I for one am reaching that point of abandon. He looks down at me and puts a hand on my chin. "Eyes on me, Magnus."

I just nod and keep my eyes on his as he brings us both to completion. When I orgasm, I see stars and it's hard to keep my eyes open and on his as I watch him let go after I do. We keep up the rhythm till we both ride out the climax and then Alec pulls me up, sitting me in his lap. He brings his shirt up and wipes us off before looking at my wrists. I don't say anything as he rubs life back into my limbs.

"You alright?" he whispers.

I smile. "Yes, that was...I couldn't even describe it. You can do that whenever you want."

He chuckles and smiles. "Wanna go to bed?"

I smile and nod, standing up. I turn everything off while he grabs our clothes. He then takes my hand and leads me into my room so we can sleep and I for one am really glad I can trust him where it matters.

Hope you liked the progression of the relationship and the trust that his continuing to build. Please remember to leave comments about anything below as I love hearing your thoughts on each chapter. :)B
