asked.
    “Yeah. Sorta .” I threw a few bills on the counter and told Ian I’d see him later . I sauntered over to where they sat.
    “Hey there, sexy,” Alexa’s friend said, trailing her fingers down my forearm. “Saw your website. That shit was hot.”
    My eyes flew to Alexa’s. She’d told her friends about what I did? And what… Googled me? “Alexa?”
    She blushed and bit her bottom lip. “Hi Cade.”
    She wasn’t even going to deny it? I supposed I had to get used to the fact that pictures of my cock were splashed all over the Internet, and that videos would soon follow. I had a film shoot tomorrow that I had to get through . I’d given Rick a piece of my mind about hiring girls that looked so young, and he promised he’d pair me with Mollie, an ex perienced pro I was sure to love, if I gave it another shot.
    “Have a seat, Cade. Or is it Sebastian?” Alexa’s friend asked. “I’m MacKenzie by the way, and this is Tyson.” She motioned to the guy seated with them. He gave me a weak smile, looking just as uncomfortable as I was .
    I remained standing.  “Call me Cade.”
    Alexa’s gaze travelled down the length of my chest and stomach, stopping just below my belt buckle. I couldn’t help the smirk that tugged at my mouth, and she knew she had just been caught. She let out a huff of breath, folded her arms on the table and la y her head down to rest.
    “Is she drunk?” I slid in next to her.
    MacKenzie nodded, proudly. “Yep. It’s her twenty-first birthday.”
    “Happy birthday .”
    Alexa peeked one eye open and looked up at me. “Thanks,” she grumbled before letting her eyes fall closed again.
    “Perfect timing,” MacKenzie said, leaning forward on her elbows. “We were just discussing Lex’s birthday present.”
    Alexa roused from her sleepy state and slapped a hand over MacKenzie’s mouth. “No, Kenz .”
    MacKenzie dutifully removed Alexa’s hand and squeezed it, before placing it on the table. “ Hush. You should be thanking me right now. You see, Alexa here is a virgin, and what better birthday present than to lose her virginity to someone skilled at giving female pleasure ? I mean, you do this for a living. ” She kicked up an eyebrow. “Right?”
    I pulled back a swig of my beer . Wa s she fucking kidding me? “ Well, yeah, I might know a thing or two about that .. . ” I took another mouthful from my bottle to shut myself up. I mean, sure, nobody had ever complained before, but that didn’t mean I was the hotshot porn star they saw on the website . Except they all thought I was. Hell.
    Alexa looked up and met my gaze, her eyes wide with curiosity. Christ . She couldn’t look at me like that, or I wasn’t going to be able to hold it together.
    Even though I believed it, I had a hard time understanding how she could still be a virgin on her twenty-first birthday. She was beautiful, pure and innocent. Her hair flowed in soft curls over her shoulders, resting just at the top of her full breasts. She was fucking perfection, and she didn’t even know it. Her skin looked so soft, I wanted to reach across the table and stroke my th umb along her cheek just to prove to myself that it couldn’t possibly be as soft as it looked. I settled instead for taking another drink . At this rate, I was going to need another beer really soon.
    MacKenzie raised her glass in the air, as if to toast herself. “Best idea ever!” S he signaled the waitress and asked for a round of shots for the table. “Patron okay?”
    I nodded my indifference. Mostly I just wanted to know what Alexa was thinking right at that moment a nd what exactly she had to ld her friends about me .
    The shots arrived and I took the glass from Alexa’s fumbling fingertips. “No more for you , cupcake .” I downed both my shot and hers, one after the other, the liquor burning on its way down .
    She pouted, and took a s ip of the water I pushed in front of her. But as we watched each other, her lips parted and
