I slide the boots on before turning back and facing the mirror. The outfit is definitely sexy. Maybe a little too sexy for a three-hour flight, but I will have my coat to cover my legs. I’m sure Hunter will love it.

A knock sounds at the door and I turn, watching Alex poke his head inside without permission. “Hey, Rachel, do you want—” His eyes widen and his mouth drops open. He looks me up and down, slowly stepping inside. My lips twitch and I bite my tongue to keep from laughing at the way he stares at me—like he’s the wolf and I’m the bunny he’d like to eat.

“Wow,” he breathes while circling around me. “What’s all this for?”

“Hunter,” I say with a smirk. I straighten my back, holding my head high as Alex continues to nod in appreciation. “I was just figuring out what to wear on the flight.”

“All this for Hunter,” Alex says while waving a hand toward me. “What a lucky guy.”

I giggle as Alex steps toward me, noticing the flush in his cheeks and the lust in his gaze. “Well, that’s what you get when you become a big, famous NFL star.”

Alex pouts. “I can be an NFL star, too.”

I scoff and roll my eyes. “I’d like to see you try.”

Without warning, Alex grabs my wrist, wrenching me toward him and into his arms. I gasp as I feel my feet leaving the floor, my body flying backward until suddenly I am on the bed with Alex on top of me, laughing as he stares down at my shocked face.

“See,” he says between chuckles. “I can be an NFL star if I want.”

“Oh!” I shout while smacking his shoulder lightly.

I hear a cough from the other side of the room and realize Lauren is still on video chat, watching Alex getting handsy with me. I shove Alex away from me and scramble toward my phone.

“Hey. Rachel,” Lauren says before I get there. “I’m going to go.”

“All right, thank you, Lauren,” I rush out.

“I think you look really cute. Let me know how it goes and have a Happy Thanksgiving!”

I smile and twiddle my fingers at Lauren. “Thanks, you too!”

As soon as my phone goes dark, I turn around, finding Alex still sitting on the bed, raising an eyebrow at me. “Someone was watching us?” Alex asks, his face flushing a darker shade of red.

I chuckle awkwardly, sauntering toward him slowly. “Well, I had to ask for backup.”

“To choose clothes for tomorrow?”

I nod, ignoring the irritated tinge in Alex’s tone. “Of course. I need to look my best.”

Alex grabs my hips as soon as I’m standing in front of him and he pulls me forward until I’m straddling him on the bed. My lips hover above his. His breaths come out shallow, his eyes lingering on my mouth as he whispers, “I sure hope you put as much time and effort into me as you do Hunter.”

I chuckle, enjoying the envy in Alex’s words. Of course I love him as much as the others. All of them are mine. If he was gone for several months, I would be just as antsy about seeing him. I won’t tell him that, though. I enjoy the way his hands grip my bottom, the way his body shifts under mine.

“Hmm,” I say while tapping my chin. “I don’t know.”

Alex scowls and suddenly he’s rolling me over, pinning me to the bed with him between my legs. “You don’t know,” he says while grinding himself against me. I gasp, feeling his hard length tenting his sweatpants. “What do you mean, you don’t know?”

I gaze into Alex’s blue eyes, now a deep color tinged with his lust. His lips look inviting, his body warm. Seth has a crush on this man. I can’t blame him. Alex is definitely sexy. Never mind his looks, he’s charming, funny, and intelligent. He’s an amazing catch and he’s mine.

I wonder if Alex knows about Seth’s feelings, if Alex would be interested in attempting a relationship with him. So far, he seems completely infatuated with me, but there are times, when all of us are in bed together, I can see Alex going either way. Part of me wants to ask him, but I don’t want to out Seth. Seth will make his move when he’s good and ready. He doesn’t need my help.

“Do you really think this looks good on me?” I ask, a smile on my lips. “Maybe I should wear something else.”

“No,” Alex rushes out, his body sliding against mine, making my core heat and my body tingle with need. “This looks perfect.”

“Are you sure?” I breathe. “Perhaps I should take it off.”

Alex chuckles and his hands slide up my thigh, pushing my sweater to my hip. His hand caresses up and down my leg, making me shift, wanting more of his touch. “I don’t think you should take it off at all,” Alex says.
