Sex Demon
PARKER
I’m sitting on the edge of the couch, waiting for Hudson when I get a text from Lex.
Mad at you! Are you with Hudson? I guess so anyway…I have to tell you something when you get back…kinda got fired from my job…—Lex
I sigh as I leave her chat. Three days a week, Lex works at a restaurant called Mags’ Burgers in Hell’s Kitchen. If you want cholesterol in a burger, that’s the place to be.
This is not good at all. Lex pays for half of the rent and my paycheck from Gulliver Books won’t be enough for food and rent. I pay for the other half of the rent along with all our essentials. Talk about an early morning headache while surviving with barely four hours of sleep.
My phone buzzes again, but it’s not Lex. This time it’s Eric and immediate panic fills me. My heart starts throbbing faster as I go into his message.Shit, I totally forgot about him. I totally forgot about sleeping with him.
I’m in trouble.
Hey, I was wondering if we could go out for a date? I’d like to see you again
—Eric
I quickly type in a response.
Hi, Eric. I’d love to, really I would, but I can’t. I have a boyfriend. I—we shouldn’t have started this in the first place. I’m really sorry. I can’t see you again.
I wait for a reply but there’s nothing that comes through.Crap.Blowing out my cheeks, I delete the chat. Seeing him was a mistake in the first place. I should have used a better judgment.
“Who are you texting for so long?”
My head snaps up and I see Hudson walking into the kitchen, his eyes trained on me as he grabs a bottle of water from the fridge.
My brain fumbles for a second.
“Lex,” I say quickly. “She lost her job which is just great since we share our apartment rent.”
“I can help you pay if you want,” he says, as he walks around the island and comes towards me.
He’s wearing an army green parka jacket with a dark, navy blue t-shirt that stretches nicely across his chest and tan, cuffed chinos.
His black hair is damp from his shower. A stray drop of water runs down his neck and I find myself swallowing hard. He’s really so gorgeous, especially this early in the morning.
I remember our talk last night. After he told me that little piece of fucked up shit his dad used to tell him, he closed up again.
“No,” I tell him. “I’ll just talk to her about it later on.”
“Or,” he says, sitting down next to me and lowering his head towards mine as his lips dip in for a deliciously warm kiss. “You could move in here,” he finishes off as he breaks away.
“Shall we get married too?” I playfully ask.
His cool green eyes regard me. “That’s not such a bad idea. But then we’ll never leave this place until I get my fill of you.”
I hold my breath as he leans in closer. “Until I fuck you in every possible inch of this penthouse.”
“Sex demon!” I scold and Hudson grabs me by the waist, pulling me down until I’m underneath his grasp in seconds, his warm spicy cologne fills my nostrils.
He settles himself in between my legs and a gasp escapes my lips at our close proximity.
“Sex demon, huh? Call me more names and I will get you naked again, Parker,” he promises as his hands travel to my lower back, the tips of his fingers grazing the skin at the edge of my t-shirt.
