I keep darting glances backward, trying to catch her eye, but Lexi hasn’t moved. I don’t think she will until I’m out of the room. I guess I’m the one making her feel that way.
Hmm, I don’t know how that makes me feel. I don’t want her to feelweirdaround me.
Once we start having fun, she’ll loosen up. When she cracks and caves to temptation everything will be so much better for the both of us, I’m sure of it. I just need to make her see that we can have an awesome, no strings attached time all over again. One that benefits us both, because I will make sure that she has an awesome time with me as well.
That thought brings a smile to my face. Much as I want her to taste me, I want to taste her as well. I want to absolutely devour her until the screams coming out of her mouth are absolutely animalistic and she can’t hold herself back anymore. I want to unleash the dragon of desire inside of her, because I just know she’s trying to lock it away…
“So, what’s going on?” Wyatt asks happily as I take a seat opposite him. “I didn’t know you were coming in today. I would have waited for you if…”
“I didn’t tell you; it isn’t your fault. Don’t worry,” I reassure him. “Mom was just being a lot today. I think she’s all emotional because I dropped Luke off at the airport this morning to go to Thailand. So, she’s worried.”
Wyatt laughs and rolls his eyes. “Oh my God, I can just imagine. You should have seen her when you went away. I thought she was going to pop a blood vessel.”
“Really?” I kinda feel bad. I never wanted anyone to feel bad. “I didn’t know.”
But then I know how worried she is about me now, which is preying on my mind.
“You know, Wyatt, Mom said to me that you’re the only one out of us that she isn’t worried about at the moment, can you believe that?”
As predicted, he tosses his head back and laughs. “Really? I didn’t think that day would ever come. I thought she would always be worrying about me.”
“She did say she’d like you to find a nice woman…”
“Ah, so there is something she’s worried about.”
I nod. “She’s more worried about Grayson though, because he’s being mysterious and cagey about his life…”
“Grayson has always been that way,” Wyatt reminds me. I guess they were never as close as me and him were. Maybe he is always like this with people he isn’t bonded to. I’m officially on the outside now, looking in, which sucks. “She shouldn’t worry so much. He won’t do anything silly. He’s probably just got a new girlfriend or something.”
“Yeah, maybe. Who knows.”
“And what’s her worry about you?” Wyatt eyes me curiously. “Let me guess, New York?”
Urgh, I guess I’m going to have to talk about New York, even if I want to forget it, I can’t. The only time I really switched off it for a while was when I was staring into Lexi’s sexy eyes. If only the Italian place had a table available, who knows what would have happened? Things were definitely progressing in the right direction though.
I could have kissed her. I could have maybe even felt her up a little. I stare longingly at the door, wishing I could head back out there to flirt with Lexi some more because Wyatt is going to have some opinions for me that I might not want to hear either.
I let out a breath and nod. “Yeah, that’s what Mom is worried about. She thinks that if I’m serious I should go right now and meet everyone that I need to face to face.”
Wyatt nods slowly, the cogs in his brain ticking around at the speed of light. I lean back in the chair and wait for him to lay it all on me. I guess I just have to hear it, no matter what.

LEXI
What the hell happened?
I am in shock. Still, even now. I have been all shook up all afternoon and now I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to think straight again. I mean what the hell was all of that? I don’t know why Josh was acting that way around me, and worst of all I don’t know why I responded the way I did.
I know I might not be able to help the way my body feels, but I should when it comes tohim. I’m disgusted with myself, because I actually think I might have kissed him, if he had gone for it. I was definitely all sucked in by the lust surrounding us and it was almost enough to make me forget about everything. Even the fact that I shouldn’t want to be anywhere near him after the way he rejected me and Mya five years ago.
God damn it, it’s so frustrating. I really am annoyed with myself.
So angry.
“Are you okay, Mommy?” A soft little voice breaks through my shock barrier.
I snap out of my thoughts as I stare at Mya’s face. What are we even doing?
