Sweet Satisfaction

“Today was the last time I’ll ever use Alexa like that .”

“Got it.” He nodded .

“Good. Then will you get the hell out of my house so we can get back to what we were doing?” I held up the box of condoms .

Alexa yelped and scrambled to hide them from my brother .

I laughed .

“I’m out. I’ll talk to you tomorrow I guess .”

He strolled out of the living room. “Nice to meet you, Alexa .”

“Umm, yeah.” She was still trying to wrestle the box from my hands .

We heard the door close behind him .

“So that was your big brother ?”

“Yep. The one and only.” I was focused on figuring out how to get my hands on her. I didn’t want to talk about Linc .

“Do you like having him as your manager ?”

“Yeah. I can trust him, which means you can trust him.” I eyed her. The Canton brothers wouldn’t betray her. I wanted those doubts erased right away .

“That’s nice you have someone in your corner .”

“You don’t have anyone on your team like that ?”

“My stylist, Helena. We’re close. I can tell her pretty much anything. She’s great. Really .”

“Alexa Wilde, what am I going to do with you ?”

I tugged on the quilt that had her twirled up like Cleopatra in a Persian rug .

“I don’t know.” She bit her bottom lip .

“Liar,” I growled .

Our eyes locked and I only had one thing on my mind. I was going to use every fucking last condom in this box tonight .

Nineteen

Alexa

I didn’t realize Austin looked so small from the sky. I tried to identify Luke’s ranch but I was all turned around once we took off. I sighed and planted my forehead against the Plexiglas window .

I didn’t want to leave .

He had to shove me out the laundry door and into Linc’s truck. Linc had volunteered to drive me to the airport so we didn’t have to risk a loose-lipped driver telling someone he had driven Lexi Wilde from Luke Canton’s house .

It took a few minutes to get over the awkwardness of how Linc and I met when I was naked, but he was a nice guy. He was a slightly softer version of his brother. Still incredibly good looking and sexy. But I looked at him through different eyes now that I had Luke. Linc was playful and fun, while Luke maintained a brooding edge that I couldn’t help but find irresistible .

Jake was livid I had ignored him all day. I knew he would be waiting when I landed. Fuming. Glaring. Threatening .

I closed my eyes. It was wort

h it. Another night with Luke was worth anything I had to face when I was in Nashville. For two days I was able to be with him the way I’d always wanted to be with a man. Free. Exotic. Sensual .
