Vengeance and retribution require a long time; it is the rule ― CHARLES DICKENS

Alex moved to step back when he felt a lock of hair stuck to the front of his shirt as if binding Cat to him. Dazedly, Alex lifted his hand to touch the dark strands entwining them and straight into her caramel-drenched eyes. Staring into her witch's eyes, he let down all of her hair by removing a few pins. He sucked in his breath and inhaled the scent of wildflowers as Cat's inky, hip-length wavy locks fell around her back. With her luscious breasts on display and her dress pulled up to her waist all he wanted to do was shove her up against the window and take her. Without removing his eyes off her, Alex rubbed the buttery soft hair between his thumb and forefinger.

"You grew it out," He whispered huskily.

"I didn't have time to cut it," She whispered in her husky tone.

"Do you expect me to say not to hack it?"

He left her and turned around so that he could get his raging emotions...Correction. He turned around so that he could get his raging erection under control. Now that he had pleasured her, Alex couldn't even remember why he had started all of this or what he wanted most right now, was still her. Hating himself for the moment of vulnerability Alex had just shown her, he felt himself wanting to crawl out of his skin.

"Alex, I... we didn't finish-"

"We're done here, Cat."

He moved to collect his jacket and tie from the chair where it had ended up when Cat caught hold of his hand and huskily answered, "I'm talking about how you didn't finish..."

She looked down and just by the power of her intent gaze locked on him, Alex's cock swelled and ached for her.

"Let me."

She moved her hands to his belt and unzipped his pants. Sliding her fingers down his hips, Cat pushed down his trousers and boxers in one swift move.

"You don't have to do this. It's fine," He rudely pointed out.

As she knelt and looked at him with such fierce desire, Alex felt he would explode just by looking at her alone. Not since he was eleven years old had he felt so out of control. Cat gently caressed his cock, stroking it with trembling hands. She had a look of such determination and desire that he knew she wanted this.

But he shouldn't want this. He couldn't allow this to happen.

"Don't -" His voice grated harshly even to his own ears.

"I want to," She whispered in an innocently sexy voice as she tugged at his cock.

"Do it...harder then."

She grabbed his jutting cock with both hands and pumped him twice. Feeling his eyes roll to the back of his head as he leaned against the chair, Alex opened his eyes in time to see her licking the tip of his erection with a casual flick of her tongue. She ran her lips along the sides giving a playful flick to the underside. Alex nearly came right then and there. Feeling the need to control this situation, he started to grab her head to pull Cat back.

But then she swallowed him, literally, and Alex lost all vague sense of stopping her. Taking his cock fully into her mouth, she applied fluctuating pressure with her lips. She swirled her tongue around his hard length and sucked him in all the way as her cheeks hollowed in. As Cat's gorgeous eyes stared up at him in a desire-filled frenzy, he couldn't imagine being so fucking turned on and feeling satisfied at the same time. Ever.

Alex groaned aloud at the image she made, on her knees, with her hair hitting the ground and her breasts bouncing with every movement. The unbearable feelings she created in him and her sensual responses made him weave his fingers through her silky hair as she continued sucking and licking his erection.

Cat's firm grip moved to hold his hips steady as Alex bucked and grew even harder, pulsating in her moist mouth. Her fingers curved to shape his sac, gently learning the texture and exploring his sizeable bulge. At this nearly innocent touch, he felt a deep longing tighten in his throat. She massaged the soft underside where his sac met his cock and Alex nearly burst from pleasure.

Where the fuck did she learn to do that? More importantly, with whom?

Making him even crazier, Cat nearly drove Alex out of his mind as she gently bit the tip of his cock and warmly blew on it to soothe the painfully good sting. Not being able to take anymore, he knew it would take only a pump or two to bring him to completion. He firmly pulled her up and ravaged her mouth with a brutal kiss. Alex wrapped her hands around his cock and aggressively pumped it back and forth. Going rigid, he felt himself being sucked dry in a whirlpool of sensation. Alex growled out in intense satisfaction as he felt his release from the base of his spine contracting to the back of his neck.

"Catriona."

He felt himself fly into a dark void at the edge of the earth as his brain shorted. He spilled out in a mighty rush into their jointly linked hands. Feeling shattered as if reborn from a chrysalis, Alex pressed his forehead against her neck while her arms moved to hold him. They were both breathing heavily and as Alex's world shifted back, he had only himself to blame if he found it knocked out off its axis.

Feeling the urge to place a tender kiss at the side of her neck, he moved away to get some much-needed distance. The confusion and vulnerability this woman aroused in him was unprecedented. His conflicting feelings of protecting her from his choices while exacting revenge and answers for the past tore at him. Trying to put space between them, he righted his clothes and pulled on his jacket as he murmured, "We'll finish the rest later."
