When I make my way into the house, I hear movement in the kitchen and the smell of coffee wafts around me. I walk into the kitchen and see Lucas scrolling through his phone in nothing but his boxers. “There he is,” he says when he sees me. “And you have an overnight bag? So, it was a premeditated sleepover.” He lowers his gaze to the bag slung over my shoulder. “So, is my new stepmom coming to brunch?”
Panic courses through me at his words thinking about being with Avery in a way that would technically make her Lucas’ stepmom.If he didn’t kill me for sleeping with her, that thought might send him over the edge.
I cock my head to the side. “Lucas, it’s not like that.”
“Not like what? I’ve never known you to just go sluttin’ around.” He chuckles. “Even when you were in the league.”
“I’m notsluttin’ around,” I glower at him. “And you’ve been gone on and off for four years. Did you think I was just sitting in the house twiddling my thumbs?” I tell him because if I don’t give him something, he won’t let this go. “I am a long way off from making anyone your stepmother, so let it go. When there’s something for you to know, you’ll know it.”
I don’t wait for his response before making my way through the foyer and up the stairs to my bedroom. I drop my bag in my massive walk-in closet that my clothes don’t even account for half of before making my way towards my bed. I drop to it, realizing how tired I am before turning to my side and imagining Avery next to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was in this very bed with me next week and the thought sends a jolt to my dick. I don’t know how long I’m lying there, but I must have drifted off to sleep because when my phone vibrates, I feel slightly groggy and it hits me how little sleep I’ve gotten in the past thirty-six hours. I open my phone and smile at the name on my screen.
Avery: What’s this I hear about you having a girlfriend? Should I be concerned?
I glare at my door, towards my son who evidently can’t keep anything to himself.
Me: No.
Avery: Okay, grumpy. Maybe you need a nap too.
Me: What did he say?
Avery: That you didn’t come home and he’s happy that you met someone. But you’re being secretive as hell about it.
Me: Well, I can’t exactly tell him that I was out all night fucking you senseless in a hotel room now, can I?
Avery: Don’t get smart with me
I can’t stop the smile from finding my face.
Me: I think that’s my line.
Avery: Are you flirting with me, Mr. Graham?
She hasn’t called me that in years, and seeing her call me that now has me thickening in my shorts.
Me: Yes.
A FaceTime request comes through instantly and my eyes widen. My house isn’t small by any means, and Lucas’ room is at the end of the hall, but I’m not about to accept a FaceTime call from Avery while he’s in the house.
But you could lower the volume.
I’m off my bed and moving into my bathroom, grabbing my AirPods out of my pocket before turning on the fan and closing the door behind me.
“Yes?” I ask her before putting one in my ear. “You think this is a good idea? What if I was with Lucas?”
She purses her lips into a frown. “First of all, Lucas went for a run,” she puts her index finger up followed by her middle finger. “Secondly, change my name in your phone, Theo.”
I hate that I hadn’t thought of that on my own. “Fine.” I look at the corner of the screen for the first time, realizing I was asleep for about thirty minutes. “What are you doing?” I ask her, noticing she’s still lying in her bed. She props her pillow under her chin and gives me a smile. Her hair is pulled back, giving me a look at her gorgeous makeup-free face.
“Nothing. Just wanted to make sure you weren’t freaking out.” She props her phone up on her nightstand and pulls her shirt off over her head revealing her naked tits and I wish I could climb through the phone and suck her nipples. “Do you want to come over?” She winks and I sink my teeth into my bottom lip to prevent myself from telling her I’ll be right there.
“You and I both know I can’t.”Why the fuck is she my neighbor?
“My parents aren’t home.” She teases. “And won’t be home for a while.” She licks her lips and runs her hands over her breasts, tweaking her nipples.
I grit my teeth.I can’t believe I’m sleeping with someone who can actually use that as a way to entice me to see her.“Avery.”
“I’m kidding.” She teases as she lets go of her nipples. “Well, they’re really not home, but I know you can’t come over right now. Lucas mentioned something about brunch.” She’s lying back down, her naked tits covered, but I know they’re there. Naked.God, let me see them again.“I told him I’d think about it. But…can you handle that?”
