The Ties That Bind
Chapter 11

Her lanky body slithered through the door of Kellys and headed straight for Lorenzo sitting at the counter with his coffee

 

So now youre coming in to Kellys for breakfast? She snapped as she questioned him

 

Lorenzo looked her up and down, from her belly button to her hip bones protruding from her pants that sat too low for a woman her age

 

Good morning Carly Lorenzo said nonchalantly

 

I didnt really think you liked this place, much less that you would come around since this restaurant belongs to my family

 

Lorenzo sat his coffee cup down

 

If you have a problem with me being here I ask that you take it up with your mother seeing that she is the one that served me this cup of coffee

 

Carly rolled her eyes not noticing the other woman that had just waked through the door

 

But Lorenzo noticed

 

A black Armani suit, matching two inch heels

 

She looked smart, professional

 

She looked the part

 

She didnt look like the type that would be having a secret affair with a man like the one that couldnt take his eyes off of her

 

Carly would you excuse me? Lorenzo said politely

 

Carly looked incensed that Lorenzo excused himself to her as he walked towards Alexis

 

Ms. Davis

 

Mr. Alcazar

 

May I speak with you for a moment?

 

Alexis pulled herself to the side with him looking quite annoyed that he would want to take up her time

 

What are you doing here? she questioned trying not to break in to a smile

 

I knew that there would be a latte and muffin with your name on it I was hoping maybe I could just maybe sit and stare at you like a love sick fool while you ordered it

 

A love sick fool huh?

 

Lorenzo tried to stifle his smile

 

So by the looks of Carly, the vain in her forehead may pop at any moment because she hasnt a clue what youre over here talking to me about

 

Wouldnt she loved to know

 

You know honestly Im not sure if she would or not!

 

Lorenzo leaned in a bit closer

 

You mean you dont think she would love to hear what Im thinking right now? I mean my thoughts about whats under that suit that by the way you look absolutely brilliant in he said raising his brow She wouldnt want to know how I want to do things to you at this very second that she couldnt even imagine having the pleasure

Mr. Alcazar Alexis interrupted

 

Lorenzo pulled away slightly

 

Forgive me Ms. Davis

 

Alexis eyes wondered to see if anyone could tell not only how flushed her face was but how she bad she wanted that man

 

Alexis your order is ready a voice said from across the room

 

Alexis looked to the counter Thank you and then back to Lorenzo

 

Mr. Alcazar, for your information a certain little girl will be with Ned until tomorrow afternoon. If you would like, I could join you later this evening and you may carry out such, now promised actions to me that you just explained in she leaned in an insanely sexy manner

 

Lorenzo shuffled a bit

 

I will be expecting you. You wont be disappointed Ms. Davis

 

I have no doubts of that she said walking away from him, retrieving her coffee and muffin and not taking another look to him or Carly

 

What could you possibly need with her? Carly snarled walking up to him

 

She is a brilliant attorney Lorenzo said pausing, waiting for the vein to appear Alexis was so fond of I may need her services in the near future He said now looking Carly in the eyes. He then retrieved a his own coffee and headed for the door

 

++++++++++++++++++++

 

The door was unlocked

 

She knocked as she made her way through the front door of his penthouse calling his name

 

Lorenzo?

 

How was your day dear?  He questioned as he met her in the living room

 

Long! But I cant imagine why she said making her way in to his arms and making it obvious why

 

She immediately began to kiss him

 

Shall I ravish you and then dinner or dinner and then ravish you? He said amused of himself

 

How about a ravish then dinner and then um Ill take it from there She said even more amused with herself

 

Without a second thought Lorenzo grabbed her in to his arms and led her to his bed

 

Impatient, they were both impatient

 

The jacket to his suit was gone

 

So was hers

 

She tugged at his belt and pulled at his zipper

 

No boxer briefs, nothing

 

He saw Alexis eyes widened and he grinned

 

She wanted to kiss that smug grin off of his face

 

She tried to

 

His hands traveled between the material of her skirt and her thighs, exploring

 

Then he reached between her legs tugging at her panties

 

He looked up at her satisfied at the affect he had already had on her

 

I told you it was a long day She said unashamed, he knew it was because of thoughts of him

 

He pulled the red lace panties from her

 

She had obviously put them on for him to take off

 

He now held them tight in the palm of his hand

 

I love red He said in between breaths

 

I know you do

 

He then pulled her down on him, her skirt now gathered at her waist, his pants only to his knees. He didnt care, she didnt care. He just wanted inside of her and she wanted him to be inside of her

 

 She pulled his shirt from him

 

The man was skin and muscle and God his skin the way it felt

 

He finally made his way to her breast still covered by the matching red lace bra

 

I told you this morning I was thinking about what you had on under that suit

 

Good surprise? She questioned knowing the answer

 

I love red was all he responded as he now held her at her hips and crashed in to her

 

They couldnt seem to get enough of each other, not close enough, they couldnt feel enough, their lips and tongues couldnt taste enough

 

Lorenzo!

 

Alexis!

 

Names now in familiar screams from each of them

 

She held him tight as their bodies jolted together

 

He could taste beads of sweat on her skin though it was still sweet

 

Neither let go of the other

 

Sitting there still on the side of the bed, he held her, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist, hers around his neck

 

She placed a gentle but passionate kiss to his lips and then a smile covered her face

 

She leaned down and finished pulling his pants to the floor and stood from him pulling the rest of her suit off

 

I know I say youre beautiful, but the way you are right now

 

She stood before him completely naked

 

She was comfortable, happy

 

Lorenzo pulled her into bed

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++

 

His pajama bottoms didnt leave much to the imagination as it were the only thing that came between his naked body and her

 

His robe was forfeited to her

 

Sleeves rolled up, a tie that could have wrapped around her waist twice was only sexier on her

 

She followed him in to the living room and stopped as he opened the door

 

Lorenzo reached outside and then two brown bags appeared in front of her

 

Dinner from your favorite Italian restaurant

 

Alexis eyes widened

 

Your favorite pasta Lorenzo said reaching in to the bag And Chocolate cake because the chef is now quite aware of how much, I believe he called you, that beautiful lawyer lady loves chocolate! Lorenzo said grinning

 

Lorenzo! She said blushing but still trying to sneak a peak of the cake still in the bag How did you arrange to have all of this here?

 

Its amazing what a large tip will do. Theyll make whatever you want and deliver it any time and any way you want

 

Alexis didnt question him further. She only leaned in and kissed him

 

Thank you

 

+++++++++++++++++++++

 

He  had a way of making her laugh

 

It didnt seem to be in his character to make her laugh the way she did

 

Maybe there was something mesmerizing and fulfilling about the way he could. Something that made him want to hear the sound and see her face just that way again and again

 

oh and I saw that vein you were talking about on Carly forehead

 

What did you say to her!?

 

I told her you were a brilliant attorney and that I may need your services And I didnt even happen to mention what those services might entail

 

Alexis shook her head

 

Her head would have popped off

 

Lorenzo laughed

 

Interrupted by pounding on the door

 

Both Lorenzo and Alexis eyes went straight for the door

 

ALCAZAR YOU IN THERE?

 

Lorenzo stood up quickly obviously recognizing the gruff voice

 

Alexis followed

 

Lorenzo turned to her quickly before she could stand completely

 

Bedroom He said trying not to sound as if he were ordering her

 

She shook her head and went for the bedroom not leaving a trace of her identity in the room

 

She sat on the edge of the bed trying to listen to what the two men on the other side of the door where saying

 

Moments later she heard the door click shut and she actually held her breath until Lorenzo appeared around the door

 

She looked scared

 

It was more than obvious everything that had just happened scarred her

 

It wasnt her life; people didnt pound on her door scream her name in anger

 

Lorenzo kneeled down in front of her

 

I should go

 

No, no you shouldnt! Its ok, I promise He made her look him in the eyes Alexis, I promise

 

She shook her head ok, trusting him

 

His name was Charlie and he works for a guy named Marcus that owns a building I bought out a few months ago Alexis before you He said trying to explain himself I bought it fairly at an auction. Marcus went bankrupt and couldnt afford the building. He asked could he buy it back from me I said yes when he could but I was out to make a fair business profit. He doesnt like my price and he still thinks the building his. Hes using Charlie as a negotiator and a scare tactic

 

If this is a ligament business deal then why does he have that Charlie guy screaming at you from the outside of your penthouse?

 

Its that way they know to do business Ive made better business investments since you came in to my life. But I have to finish this one even though I knew it was just a matter of time before Marcus impatience got the best of him

 

She took a moment searching his eyes

 

He thought to try and explain more but he chose not to

 

Please be careful was all she said

 

I will, I will, for you

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++

 

A pair of diamond earrings

 

Two watches

 

One bracelet that was just a souvenir from Paris

 

All sat at the edge of his bedside table

 

An Armani suit with matching heels

 

Spread across his bedroom floor

 

It was a night of making love, favorite Italian restaurants, and the way he made her laugh and one more truth told, and trust gained
