I catch sight of the sudden paleness of Lexi’s cheeks. Yeah, she definitely wants me out of here. I don’t want to upset Lexi or make her feel uncomfortable.
No way.
“Nah, I have stuff to get on with. New York stuff, you know?” I try to smile again, but I can’t this time. My heart is too heavy. I wish that I could go back in time so I could make things right with Lexi, and not say anything stupid, but I can’t. “But I’ll see you soon.”
“You want to hang out later?” Wyatt asks as I start to walk towards the door. He has a concerned expression on his face, like he’s worried about me or something. I guess I am acting a bit like I have something on my mind. “Or tomorrow?”
“Yeah, tomorrow might work. I will let you know, okay?”
He nods, but doesn’t take his eyes off of me. I can practically feel the questions on the tip of his tongue, but he doesn’t let them out.
Not yet anyway. When I finally do get to talk to him alone then I might be honest with him. Even if he yells at me for screwing around in his office.
Yeah, I’m definitely not sharing that right now.
“Okay well, see you soon.” I lift a hand and wave. “Bye.”
“Yeah… bye, Josh. Call me if you need me. Any time.”
I get out of there as quickly as I can so I can finally breathe better. I need buckets of air in my lungs, so I don’t lose my shit. I’ve never really worried about the people I hook up with because there are never any feelings involved. That’s always clear from both sides. But it’s different with Lexi. I can’t explain why, butsheis different.
I scold myself for mentioning the word date at all. Since she’s a mother, I doubt Lexi wants to waste her time fucking around with someone knowing that it can’t go anywhere because of New York. She won’t want to get invested, just for me to go on to leave.
I should have kept my big mouth shut… or I should have asked her properly. If I’m going to take her out on a date, then I shouldn’t just bring it up in the heat of the moment like that. I should actually plan something nice for her.
Some kind of romantic gesture. I put my head down and head home, refusing to meet the eyes of anyone as I go. I’m not in a big city now, I could easily bump into someone I know in Beaufort even if I haven’t been around for five years, and I’m not mentally in the right frame of mind for small talk right now.
I find myself at another fork in the road, not just when it comes to New York but with my dating life too. Because it hits me suddenly how badly I want to take Lexi out on a date. I want to reconnect with her properly and really get to know her.
I just don’t want anyone to get hurt along the way.
I don’t want to upset Lexi again like I did today.

“No, Josh, you did nothing wrong,” Lexi whispers as she slithers up onto my lap. “I was only upset because I want a rose when you ask me on a date.”
There’s a part of my brain thatknowsthis isn’t real. I can feel the dream like quality to it, which is a real shame. I would much ratheractuallyhave Lexi in my arms, but this will do. Having her here, kissing me, is better than nothing.
She slides down off my lap, keeping her eyes on me as she falls to her knees between my thighs. Electric lightning bolts through me as she drags her tongue along her top lip while fiddling with my zipper. She’s aching to taste me, I can sense the saliva filling her mouth, which makes it incredibly challenging for me to remain still.
I shift about in my seat while she pulls me free. I watch in awe as Lexi wraps both her hands around my thick, throbbing erection. She strokes gently, staring at my cock as if it’s the most beautiful thing that she has ever seen. Even in my dreams she gets my heart pounding. My whole body is trembling with need. I want her so bad; I’m going mad.
Lexi meets my eyes as she presses her lips to my tip, knowing the way this is going to drive me wild. A guttural, animalistic sound vibrates in my chest and explodes free, causing her to dart out her tongue, to lick me right at my most sensitive tip like a lollipop.
“Fuck, Lexi.” It feels real, so real. I need more, so much more. “Fuck me.”
She does, but with her mouth. She parts those deliciously plump lips of hers and wraps them around me. She takes me in deep, right to the back of her throat and allows her warm heat to embrace me. I find myself crying out her name over and over again. I can’t stop.
Her head bobs up and down. I take her hair in my hands, just like I did in the cupboard earlier today.
Fuck, that was hot.
So sexy. No wonder I got carried away. I lift my ass up to greet her lips halfway as I recall fucking her up against the wall like that.
Her tongue swirls around me, she tastes all of me, she drinks me in and I love it. I can’t get enough. I know she’s driving me to explosion way too quickly, but I can’t stop. I don’t want her to stop. I just want her to really taste all of me. Every God damn inch of me.
“Date me,” I hear myself murmuring over and over again. “Be with me, I want that. I want it all. With you, Lexi. You’re the only person I want everything with. I mean that.”
