It takes his blonde a moment to realize he’s already shopping for her replacement and she’s not even wearing the dress of the girl she replaced yet. When she does, her smile dims.
I exchange looks with Addison, but she offers a “she knew what she was signing up for” kind of shrug.
Once we get our names sorted out, the lady goes back to get our dresses so we can try them on. The blonde wanders off sadly, perhaps hoping Hex will follow her to see what’s wrong, but he doesn’t.
“Poor girl,” I say to Addison. “She seemed so happy when we got here.”
Addison moves a short white dress back on the rack to look at one behind it. “She knew she was coming here to try on some other girl’s dress. Maybe she needed to adjust her expectations.”
“Maybe, but it’s easy to get carried away with Hex.”
“He’s just looking for a warm body to feed on. If she wants more than that, she’s looking in the wrong place.”
“That’s not very romantic,” I murmur.
“You don’t hook up with Hex because you’re looking for romance,” Addison says with a faint smile.
“You don’t hook up with Hex at all if you’re sane,” I say lightly.
“I would fuck Hex.”
Shocked, I look over at her with my jaw hanging open. “Really? But he’s so…”
She nods. “Evil? Yeah, I know, but he’s also exceptionally hot and while it’s possible it would be a harrowing experience, I’d still like to have it. Just once, I wouldn’t date him or anything. I wouldn’t even stay the night, I’d just collect my clothes and quietly get the hell out of there once he was finished with me, but… I think I’d fuck him. For science. Just to see what it’s like.”
“What makes you think you’d be able to walk after I fucked you?”
Addison spins around, eyes wide in horror, as Hex comes up behind her.
Cheeks a bit rosier than before, her gaze snaps back to me. “Well, that’s embarrassing.”
Hex slides his hand around my waist, tugging me to his side. “See how it is for me, Brynn? They all want to fuck me, but no one wants to be there with me when I wake up.”
I wouldn’t want to wake up next to him, either, but I can’t stifle a reluctant tug of sympathy at the idea of him being lonely. “I’m sure that’s not true.”
It must be visible on my face or evident in my tone because he smirks down at me. “God, you’re a fucking delight. Look at those big eyes. That big heart. So easy to manipulate.”
I should have known he was playing me.
“You’re evil,” I tell him.
“But fuckable. Right, Addison?” he says, smirking at her.
Addison looks at her bare wrist. “Would you look at the time? I have a dress to try on. I better get in there.”
My eyes widen. “You’re just going to leave me here with him?”
“Sorry,” she calls over her shoulder before disappearing into a dressing room with her bridesmaid dress.
“Too bad,” Hex murmurs, then he looks down at me. “I guess it’s just the two of us now. Are we browsing wedding dresses? I can pick one out for you. I’m sure Kill would love that.”
Killian must have already been keeping an eye on us because, before I even have a chance to respond, he comes walking over. “Hands off my property, fucker.”
I look up at Killian as he displaces Hex’s hand on my hip and replaces it with his own. “Wow. That could not sound sexy coming out of anyone’s mouth but yours.”
He leans in to steal a kiss. “Why don’t you go try your dress on so we can get out of here? I’m about to reach my limit on sharing you for the day, and we still have to go to lunch with Ryan and Addison. I’m starting to think Sophie and Silvan have it right; we should stay in more and see our friends less.”
“We probably shouldn’t have pre-gamed with the movie,” I admit with a smile. “That was a lot of sharing my attention for you when we knew we were also going to lunch. But you’ll have me all to yourself for the rest of the night, and you can do whatever you want with me,” I add enticingly.
