Page 22 of Breaking Rules
“Is Mai here?” he asked, his voice rough.
“She’s at work.”
His fingers flexed on my hips. “Evanne is with her mother for the afternoon.”
A jolt of surprise accompanied his words, but I managed to keep it from my face. I didn’t know much about Evanne’s mother, but it wasn’t my place to ask. Not with things between Alec and me still so new. I allowed myself to simply be happy that he’d come to me when he had a few free hours rather than going to work or just relaxing by himself, both of which would’ve been completely understandable after him having been gone all week.
“I missed you.” I risked the whisper.
Alec’s response was to take my mouth again, the last of what he’d been holding back breaking through. He hadn’t said the words, but in every line of his body, I could feel how much he’d missed me too. That was more than good enough for me.
His hands moved to my hair, yanking out my ponytail, and taking a few strands with it. The little bites of pain in my scalp just fed my arousal, and I stretched up on my toes to try to limit the distance between us. His tongue swept between my lips, and my knees went weak. Damn, but the man could kiss.
I leaned into him, hooking my fingers in the waistband of his pants. His skin was hot against the backs of my fingers, and I wanted more. More skin, more flesh, more of him against me and inside me. I slid my hands around his back, splaying my fingers over the bunching muscles there. When his teeth scraped across my bottom lip, I scratched his back, and he made that primal, low, growling sound that instantly made me wet.
“Mo nighean bhan,” he groaned against my mouth. “I need you.”
“Then take me.”
The words were barely out of my mouth before we were both on the floor. He rolled me onto my stomach and pulled me up on my hands and knees, all with a speed that left my head spinning. I didn’t need long to get my footing, metaphorically speaking, because Alec’s hands were sliding over my hips and taking my pants with them.
A brush of cool air caressed my overheated skin as he slid my panties over my ass and down to my knees. He palmed one cheek, then brought his hand down on it with a sharp crack. I gasped, a warm tingle spreading out across my skin from where his hand had made contact.
“I dinnae ken if I can be…gentle.”
I looked over my shoulder, the sheer intensity of his expression sending a shudder through me. “Don’t be. Show me how much you missed me.”
The condom was already in his hand, and he wasted no time putting it on. Then he was pushing inside me, thick and long, and I was cursing, my body shaking. I was wet, but there hadn’t been enough foreplay for this to be easy. I didn’t mind. In fact, as his body curled over mine, the throbbing between my legs made me feel more complete than I had all week.
“Touch yourself, lass.” Alec nipped my shoulder through my shirt.
I reached underneath me, and as he withdrew, my fingers slid over my clit. He drove forward hard enough to make me cry out, and then his fingers tangled in my hair, pulling my head up. I stroked that sensitive bundle of nerves as Alec pounded into me. Electric shocks and pleasure combined with all the loneliness and emptiness I’d felt over the last few days, winding me up.
“Fuck, Lumen, you feel so good.”
“Faster.” I rocked back, and his next thrust went impossibly deep. White spots danced in front of my eyes, and I felt myself teetering on the edge. My fingers moved faster, the friction making my eyes roll back.
“Come for me, lass. I need to feel you come.”
My muscles clenched, body stiffened, and I trembled there in that space just before release…then came with a muffled scream. My arm buckled, and I barely caught myself before I face-planted. Alec drove into me faster now, my name coming in grunts and groans until he slammed into me and held there, his cock pulsing inside me as he came.
He slumped onto my back, and we both collapsed onto the carpet. I was going to have some uncomfortable marks, but it was well worth it, and not only for physical reasons.
He’d missed me.
He stirred behind me, easing himself out of me with a hiss. He kissed the side of my throat. “Now that I’ve taken the edge off, I’ll pay you the proper attention you deserve.”
It appeared we weren’t done yet.

Going backto school was easier than I’d thought it would be, and I knew part of that was because I no longer had all those worries and questions about Alec clouding my mind. He hadn’t explained, exactly, why he hadn’t gotten back to me, but we hadn’t exactly spent much time talking either. In fact, in the three hours we’d spent together yesterday afternoon, we’d had enough sex to leave my entire body sore today.
I smiled as I made my way back to my classroom after our short teachers’ meeting. It hadn’t taken long for us to confirm that we were okay and Principal McKenna to tell us that we should determine what and how much our students needed to know. After that, it was business as usual.
I was still straightening out my rows when I heard someone at the door. My smile faded as I saw a familiar but unwelcome face.
