He was wide awake now. Closing the door was the last thing he wanted to do, but he did it.
Sitting on the sofa, he stared at his blank television. There’s no way he was going to be able to sleep now with the memory of her emblazoned in his mind. Not that it was a problem. He wanted her.
He wanted to take her.
To fuck her.
He wondered if she’d be dynamite in bed or if she’d be too prudish.
Seconds passed, and the door to the bathroom opened.
A gentleman would have knocked.
A gentleman wouldn’t look.
A gentleman would have gone back to his room to give her privacy.
He’d never claimed to be a gentleman.
She stood, glaring at him. “Why didn’t you knock?”
“It’s two in the morning. I didn’t think you’d be showering.”
“It wasn’t long ago I came in from work, Jax. Next time, please knock.”
“You’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.”
She was already stepping toward her bedroom, a towel wrapped around her. Her hair was wet, cascading all around her. She looked sexy as fuck.
His cock began to stir once again, and he knew he wanted inside her. He wanted to fuck her, to take her, to show her just how good of a time she could have.
“You’ve got a fucking hot body. You ever want to use me to take care of those needs, just let me know.”
“Jax, I love this apartment. I love the life we’ve got. Sex complicates everything. You don’t even see the same woman twice. I don’t see this being on the lasting list. That’s never going to happen. Not ever.”
“Never ever? You’re so sure about that?”
She tilted her head to the side. “What makes you think for a second this will happen?”
“I know how good I am, and I know what you’re missing out on.”
She chuckled. “Jax, just because you fuck a thousand different women doesn’t make you that good in bed.” She stepped up a little closer to him. Her cheeks were a deep rose red. The towel she wore opened a little at the thigh, and he got a glimpse.
She leaned forward and placed her hand on his chest. “You see, Jax, as much as you kick all those women out of your bed, not one of them come banging on that door for a second or a third go.”
He was aroused. He wanted her to run her hand down his body and grip his cock.
Wait?
What?
“I don’t believe for a second, Jax, that you’re all that.” She gave him a wink and walked away. That shouldn’t have turned him on or excited him, but watching the sway of her hips, knowing that she was sexy as fuck and exactly what she was hiding, he couldn’t help it. He wanted her.
This was bad.
Grabbing his cell phone, he dialed Ryan’s number. When it went to voicemail, he hung up and rang again. He wasn’t going to let his friend just sleep the night away.
“Shit, who is it?” Ryan asked, finally answering on the third call.
“Is that any way to answer your phone?”
“Jeez, Ryan, who is it?”
“It’s Jax.”
“Seriously? This late? Tell him to get a life.”
“Tell your woman I’ve got a life. A very good life.”
“I hate to break it to you, buddy, but calling at this hour, that’s not having a life, not even close.”
“I need you to give me five reasons as to why I shouldn’t try and fuck my roommate.”
“Wait, what?”
“Come on, Ryan. I don’t have a lot of time, and I want to seal the deal.”
“That’s just fucking gross. You called me at this time of night to give you reasons not to fuck Dani.”
“If that girl had any sense, she’d bite your dick off.”
“Again, keep your future wife under control. I don’t need her to be getting any ideas about my dick.”
“Jax, you need to learn to get a life. Calling me this late for bullshit isn’t right.”
“Just help me out right now, okay? I’m hard as fucking rock, and I want to go in there and screw her brains out. Sense be damned.”
He heard Ryan sigh. “I’ll be back in a minute, babe.”
“You’re seriously going to help that lunatic right now?”
“He’s our friend.”
Jax heard movement.
“Five reasons you shouldn’t screw Dani. One, she’s your roommate. Two, she pays half your rent. Three, you don’t screw the same thing twice. Four, she could poison you. Five, she could make your life uncomfortable and you have to leave your apartment and let her have it all to herself. I can go on and on.”
“No, we’re good.” His cock had started to lose interest at the mention of paying half the rent. He didn’t want to have to try to find someone else, especially as he knew deep down they’d not even be able to compare to her. She was damn good at what she did. “Phew, I’m so pleased you talked some sense into me. I thought I was totally going to screw up a good thing.”
