Without a ban

Alexa

The questions were coming to an end, now all that was left was to hand out the books, which already had my autograph on them, and proceed to the buffet.

Hopefully, at least there, I could relax with a few glasses of wine.

Mr. Dickens is so eager to wipe me off the face of the earth, but I expected that Arthur would also decide to help him in this and not to hold back the whole truth, but he apparently gave up his idea to ruin my life.

Indeed, the hero of my novel is somewhat like Arthur, but not in everything. Unlike him, Lucas is more violent, and that is their main difference.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

And the heroine, Amanda, is much stronger than me, but when she falls in love she won’t deny it, as I try to do all the time.

“Dear guests, unfortunately the presentation is coming to an end. But I promised a surprise for all of you, a buffet in the second hall.”

So, I will be happy to invite you there with me.

When I started to go down the stairs, I stumbled a little and almost fell, but I managed to catch a man’s hand, thereby preventing my fall.

“Careful, Miss Neves,” he said to me as I clutched my arms around his shoulders and wouldn’t let go.

“I’m sorry,” I apologized, and decided to look at my savior.

And the only thing I realized was. That this was the man I hadn’t even seen in the movies. He was gorgeous. Dressed in a black tuxedo, under which I could see the protruding collar of his white shirt, on which was snagged a bowtie. His dark eyes kept his eyes on me, and he seemed dangerous to me, but insanely hot. His handsome face had stubble on his chin, too, and it certainly suited him.

“That’s all right. I’m glad to be your savior,” he replied, determined to take my mind off of his own. He set me on the floor and took a step back.

– I have to go,” he said, and I called out to him.

“What’s your name, mister? Because you know my name, but I don’t know yours.”

“I hope you will. But only when I want you to,” he said, which completely discouraged me, and he just turned around and walked out.

“Okay, I do not play these games,” I thought and went to the buffet hall.

After the emotions I’d been through, I should definitely get a drink.

I took a glass from the table, but suddenly someone came up to me.

“Alexa, the presentation is top notch. I’m Valerie Taylor, a journalist for World Channel. I was happy to be at your presentation today.”

“Thank you for those words, I’m so happy to hear them.”

“You know, Mr. Dickens is out of line. Have you considered taking him seriously and putting him behind bars?”

“That never even crossed my mind.”

“Well, think about it,” she said, and walked toward the food. Of course she didn’t look very tall, chubby with dark brown hair, and dressed in a dress that I wouldn’t call anything but a sack, but she said clever things.

After drinking one glass, I reached for a second, but everyone had already drunk. I went to another table, but suddenly I saw a couple kissing in front of me. They did not get away from each other. Or should I say, she clung to him like a cat. But when he pushed her away from him, I realized it was Arthur. My stomach was clenching with jealousy and anger, but I wasn’t about to show it to them.

Arthur

“Arthur, introduce me to Alex,” Eleanor asked me, but I wasn’t burning with that desire. Seeing Alex again today was too problematic for me, so I decided to talk her out of the idea.

“Can we go to your place already?”

“No, I don’t want to go home yet, there’s the buffet,” she was too stubborn. I couldn’t talk her out of it anyway, so I decided to follow her into the next room. There were tables in the middle of the room, with snacks – tartlets, sandwiches and various cakes and glasses of champagne and wine.

Noticing Alex talking to some lady, we decided to wait a little while and not approach. Eleanor couldn’t get away from me and kissed me again.

“Eleanor, stop it! What will they think of us?” I tried to reason with her, so I had to push her away.

“Arthur, do you care so much about what other people think” She asked as she took a step back.

“No, but,” I didn’t have time to finish my sentence before I saw Alexa in front of me.

“Hello, Alexa,” Eleanor said, taking a firm hold of my hand.

Alex had an ambiguous view of all this.

Or was she just surprised by this behavior of a grown woman? Or was she angry and jealous?

Of course, I like the second option better.

“Hello,” Alex said hello to her.

“This is Eleanor,” I decided to introduce the woman I knew I couldn’t get rid of today.

“Nice to meet you,” Alex said.

“And how do I like it! You know, I read your first novel two years ago and was absolutely delighted. It’s a shame that Arthur got hurt, but I’m glad things are back to normal now and the real killer will get what he deserves.”

” I’m glad, too,” Alex replied with genuine disdain, looking at Eleanor.

“Arthur, I have to go to the ladies’ room to powder my nose. But I’ll be back,” she warned me and ran toward the bathroom.

“I wanted to thank you for not making things worse with Mr. Dickens,” Alex began to say as she came closer.

” It would have been silly to tell everything now.”

“I’m assuming that’s the pretty girl who offered to fuck you tonight, but you turned her offer down?”

Did Alex really care that much?

“I turned her down this afternoon, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to turn her down now,” I whispered in her ear as I leaned in so no one else could hear.

“I hope you’ll make the right decision,” she answered and was about to leave, but I didn’t let her. I grabbed her hand and pulled her back to me.

“If you want, we can replay the whole thing.”

“What do you mean?”

Why would she ask me that when she knows what I mean?

“We could run away together. I still want you so badly, Alex,” I tried to make it clear to her, but my hands were already wanting to touch her. So I didn’t hold back any longer. I put my right hand on her waist and pulled her tightly against me, and ran the pad of my left thumb across her half-open lips. She let out a muffled moan. Oh… How much I want that mouth on my cock.

She began to breathe intermittently, just as she’d done today in the fitting room.

“Surrender to me, Alexa, I want it so damn bad. So badly I’m going to explode. Drag you away and fuck you….”

“No, Arthur. I’ll never give in,” she replied and recoiled.

“Well, that’s your decision. Too bad only one of us will be satisfied tonight,” he answered her, and was about to leave to find Eleanor when she showed up herself.

– Baby, let’s go to your place, I already want you so bad,” he tried to make Alex regret his decision, so he kissed Eleanor passionately in front of her.

I hoped to see an angry Alex, but when I turned my head, I realized that she was gone.

“Let’s go,” Eleanor said as she grabbed my hand and we headed toward the exit.
