Bad Girl (Alphahole Roommates 3)

Before I have a chance to react, he’s got a pink one. He winks before he licks the frosting peak with a twirl of that sexy tongue that I feel. Yep, I feel it as if he’s licking my clit hood piercing that exact way.

The muscles in my thighs tighten and I swear he notices, so that breaks the daze for me. I roll my eyes, but not without difficulty. I’m sitting here eating his stuffed peppers so I can’t say anything about the cupcake. After the eye roll, I stick my tongue out again. It probably looks gross because there’s food in my mouth. Good.

He gives me a cock-eyed grin before he heads back down the hall.

I finish my pepper, eat a blue cupcake, then leave the dishes on the counter before I go to the bathroom.

Damn it, I forgot toilet paper. I rush to my room and smuggle a roll in so I can do my business and go to bed. I stash the toilet paper roll inside a jumbo tampon box under the sink.

I wake at five after five again to more Eminem. Lose Yourself. Louder than yesterday.

I crack a smile as I roll over to nab and put my new noise-canceling headphones on before shutting my eyes again.

When I get up at nine, I find the tub filled with water and towels. Thankfully, I look before I take a leak and notice before it’s too late that she’s actually covered the toilet bowl with plastic cling wrap. I shake my head as I remove it, then wash up quick and head out. I can shower at home again.

Ally’s efforts are amusing; it’s obvious what she’s doing.

I send her a text message.

Good morning, Vixen. What do you want to pretend you’re not interested in for dinner tonight? I do a mean chicken marsala. I could also rock your world with jambalaya or souvlaki. Preference? By the way, be careful with the petty games. I grew up with three brothers - I can get petty too and I guarantee I can get more creative than you.

It takes an hour for her to reply and I’m in the middle of something when she does.

Good morning roomie. Got a date tonight, so be sure to leave enough of whatever you make for 2 in case he’s hungry after he fucks me.

“What’s the growl about?” my brother Julian asks.

I shake my head. I’m pissed.

Jule is out with me, getting up to speed on an investigation. He’s one of three guys I occasionally work with. Mostly, I work on my own, but in the last six months business has gotten busier and if it keeps up, I might offer him a full-time gig that could even lead to a partnership if it all goes well. He’s got good instincts.

“Never mind.”

If Ally thinks she’s having someone there tonight, that I’ll be down to be there knowing she’s having sex with somebody, she’s mistaken. What I don’t know yet is if this will mean I’m done with her or if it’ll mean I rip some guy’s head off and throw him out before I’m done with her.

“I need to rearrange my day,” I say, tamping down my anger, putting my phone into the cradle on my dash. “You mind spearheadin’ this one for me starting now?”

“Got a thing tonight,” he replies, sipping his coffee, not taking eyes off the target, who is on the move.

“Fuck. I’ll call Justin. Rex’s hands are full this week.” I grab my phone again. “Followin’?”

“On it.” Julian flicks his shades open and puts them on while slipping his wool beanie onto his head before getting out of my SUV, walking casually behind the woman we’re tailing - a woman who is suspected of cheating on her husband.

Not our most exciting work, but a good chunk of the money I’ve made in the last five years has come from cheating spouses. Sad, but factual.

My brother sends me a text message two hours later to tell me he’ll cancel his thing tonight to keep on the case.

Strange. Wonder if it’s anything to do with the fact that the redhead he’s following is a knockout.

I suspect my brother is having fun watching the redhead tonight, and I am having my own fun. I’m tailing my little vixen and can’t wipe the grin off my face. Yeah, I wore a scowl most of the day, but now that I’ve spent a few hours watching her, I can’t stop smiling. Because she’s full of shit about almost everything that comes out of her mouth. Now normally, I’d put a mile between myself and a lying woman, but for some reason with this girl, instead of finding it deceitful, I find it comical. I find I’m anxious to see what she’s going to do next rather than wanting as far away from her as I can get.
