Sweet Spot (Irresistible 1) - Page 21

he hell he’d just done to me. I only opened them when he turned me gently around, perching me on the edge of the table.

“How do you feel?” His question was teasing but I answered it with complete truth.

“So good,” I breathed out. I stared at his mouth, convinced it possessed some kind of fucking magic. He grinned as he watched me for a moment, clearly relishing the dazed look he’d just put on my face.

“Good,” he finally said, giving his cock an adjustment before nodding out the door. “I’ll leave you alone now. Right?”

I could only nod, my body still buzzing as I watched Lukas head for the door, unlock it and leave.

LUKAS

In the morning, I awoke to a charmingly scatterbrained text.

LIA: Actually never mind. Let’s go to dinner first. Yes.

I grinned, having had a feeling that she’d change her mind about the original plan. She’d texted it to me last night while I was at a bar with Emmett, enduring a round of drinks to give her the head start home that she wanted. Hanging out with Emmett was usually torture for a variety of reasons, but last night it had all to do with Lia.

All I could think about was her. Within seconds of leaving her, I wanted more of her. I waited for the feeling to drift off as we moved from the first bar to one of Emmett’s, but it didn’t. I was experienced when it came to the pain of her sexy image haunting me, but last night it was also her scent. Her sounds. Her sweet fucking taste. It had me desperate to just go home, find her and fuck her senseless on her bed. But I’d agreed to let her decide on the plan and according to the text she sent, the plan was for me to show up at her apartment this evening for sex. No strings attached.

I had no problem with that. In fact, I got hard just reading the message but like a masochist, I suggested dinner first. I was skeptical of her ability to dive right in and I wound up right. She’d declined the offer last night but after sleeping on it, clearly she had changed her mind.

ME: Great. I like that plan better. Pick you up at 8?

LIA: 8 is perfect.

I watched the ellipsis disappear and reappear repeatedly as Lia clearly kept typing and deleting whatever was on her mind. But finally, her text came through and it spread the grin on my lip even wider.

LIA: Can’t wait : )

“Lukas. You didn’t. Why?” Tess sounded less than pleased when I confessed my plans for the night.

It was closing in on 2AM where she was but I was hardly surprised to hear her call. Like me, she’d always been a night owl. I blamed our parents. As kids, we refused to sleep till we knew they were home and of course, they were never in a rush. Once Tess and I realized the pattern, we started betting on who could stay awake longer at night. I lost years’ worth of allowance to that girl. Apparently, the kid didn’t need sleep. I grew up convinced of it because every night, without fail, she stayed up till Mom and Dad got home, whether it was one in the morning or eight.

“Lukas. Lukas James Hendricks. Do not ignore me.”

I laughed as I grabbed my phone off the counter and went to the couch. “Sorry. I was getting a drink.”

“Don’t be sorry about that, be sorry about the fact that you’re trying to sleep with my favorite neighbor.”

“You only have two.”

“Yeah, and you’re sleeping with the one I actually like,” she protested. “What happens when you break her heart, Luke? I’m going to come home and she’s going to hate me because I’m associated with the guy who chased her like it was his job and then dumped her once he got her in bed.”

“Christ. You make it sound like I do that often.”

“Dude,” Tess said dryly. “You do. You see a pretty girl, you decide you need to have her and then you get your taste and it’s on to the next. The only ones you sleep with repeatedly are the ones at the office and that’s only because it’s convenient for you.”

“If it makes you feel any better, I’ve spent an irritating amount of time thinking about this girl.”

“I mean you should because she’s awesome and nice and crazy hardworking but that’s historically never mattered for you. I mean I love you, Lukas, but you’re kind of shallow.”

“What? Alright. Take it easy, Tinker Bell.”

She groaned. “I just like her is all.”

“Trust me, I’m in the same boat.”
