I didn’t want her to have to defend her position. We had already agreed how this was going to go. Linc had to get on board.
“It’s not going to.” I squeezed her shoulder. “Not a word of this to Charlie.”
He shook his head. “I won’t mention it.”
“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.

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.
