her breaths grew faster. She leaned forward in interest, a shaky smile on her lips that grew bolder with each passing second. A bark of laughter from her friend Tyson surprised us all. “Are you fucking kidding me? This guy? No. Alexa, if you’re really going to do this, it should be me. Not some guy you don’t even know , who probably has God-knows-what kind of diseases.”
Alexa swallowed visibly. As insane as this idea was, it was her decision. I forced my mouth shut, and kept my face composed. A low wave of nerves rolling through my stomach told me I wanted this — I want ed her — more than I had any right to.
“Okay,” she squeaked. “Just let me think.” She pressed her fingers to her temples.
A n unexpected surge of protectiveness sprung up inside me, and I found myself holding my breath.
MacKenzie shook her head. “ Lex , please, please, I beg of you, on behalf of women everywhere . Have hot, kinky sex with the porn star. Tyson will always be around.” She waved in his direction and he narrowed his eyes at her .
One thing was clear as day to me. Tyson had feelings for her. Real feelings. I should probably stop cock-blocking the poor bastard, but the look in Alexa’s eyes told me she didn’t return his feelings. Not one bit. Her eyes wandered down my chest again and she bit her lip. Her cheeks flushed pink. She was growing turned on by just the thought of being with me. Fuck, I was going to get hard right here if she didn’t stop looking at me like that.
Tyson set his drink down. “Come on, Lex , this isn’t you. You play things safe . Y ou’re not going to do…him” he tipped h is head toward me “and we all know it.”
She frowned and pulled her bottom lip into her mouth, considering his words. “I’m sick of everyone thinking I’m Miss Goody Two -s hoes , with my perfect grades, and days of the week panties. You know what? I have my Wednesdays on today — it’s Saturday — and that’ s a pretty sad way of rebelling , huh? ”
Day s of the week? Damn, picturing her in her panties was doing nothing to tame my overactive libido.
“ Well forget that! I’m doing this.” Alexa straightened her shoulders, which pushed her tits out. That little tank top she was wearing left very little to the imagination. And fuck it to hell, her nipples were hard. That protective surge I’d felt earlier was back, nagging at me more insistently. I would not stand back and let just anyone touch that pretty little pussy of hers. I’d kick Tyson’s ass to keep him away from her if I had to. Which wouldn’t be difficult , considering I was ready to kno ck his teeth in if he looked at her like that again .
“ Lex ?” Tyson asked , h is voice soft and pleading.
Alexa’s eyes were back on mine, drinking me in. She just sat there blinking up at me, waiting expectantly . Oh fuck, I was going to hell.
“Fuck it, I’ll do it myself,” I growled.
Her swift intake of breath at my declaration made the hair on the back of my neck stand. I swallowed roughly. “ But not tonight. You’ve had too much to drink. ”
Her mouth dropped open in surprise.
“Do you have a pen?” I motioned to MacKenzie’s giant purse sitting on the table. She jumped into action, rooting around inside and seconds later, thrust a pen toward me. I reached across the table and turned over Alexa’s arm, brushing the soft flesh with my thumb. Her skin was as soft as I’d imagined, and the sensation stopped me in my tracks for a second. “ If you still want to tomorrow, and I doubt you will , sweetheart, meet me here .” I scribbled the address along her inner arm , tossed some bills on the table and left.
Chapter 4
Alexa
“Alexa . ” M y mother’s disapproving tone demanded my attention. She tapped a red lacquered nail against the table. “You look a mess. I hope your night out with your friends was worth it.”
I straightened the sundress around my knees, and shifted in my seat. Though my memories of the night
