“Probably not as much as you think.” Tilting my head, I gave him a questioning look. Was he trying to tell me he didn’t sleep around that much? Yeah, right! I’d only been here for a little over a week and knew that was a lie. "I let some stay for long periods of time to save on gas.”
“I thought they were yourgirlfriends,” Diego howled with laughter. “Are you telling me you only let them stay to save on gas?” Alex didn’t answer. He was watching me intently instead, with a playful smile.
“I’ve only known him a week and I think it’s something he might do.”
“Oh, yes, I forgot you know mesowell already.” Alex raised his eyebrow, a small smile playing on his lips.
“Okay, kittens, I’d love to stay up all night talking, but this diva needs to get his beauty sleep.” Diego yawned before getting up to kiss us both on the cheek. Then he was gone, and I was suddenly alone with Alex. Maybe this wasn’t a good idea.
Chapter Six
“You’ve gone really quiet,” Alex mused, sipping his wine as he watched me intently.
“I was thinking about heading to bed as well. I’m really tired.”
“I’m not stopping you.”
“You’ve been different tonight. Diego seems to have a good effect on you.”
“He’s my oldest friend. We’ve been through a lot together.” Alex began to play with his wine glass, trying to avoid eye contact with me.
“Tell me if I’m interfering, but the drugs…” I trailed off, not really sure how to continue.
“I’m a rock star, Baby! It’s what we do.” He was playing it off, but to me, he looked ashamed of himself. “Does it make you uncomfortable?”
“No, it’s your body. It’s just a waste, that’s all.”
“A waste?” He frowned, finishing the rest of his wine. “You really don’t hold back any punches do you, Straight Lace? I’ve never had a woman speak to me the way you do. Not even Milly.”
“Don’t you like being challenged?”
“Women usually want to suck my cock rather than talk to me.”
“Conversation is a good thing, you know? Don’t look so smug.”
“I’ll take your word for that. I’d choose sex over talking every time.” I gave him an exasperated look. Was he serious? “You’d choose talking over sex?”
“Yes.” Okay, now I was lying.
“You’re not doing it right if that’s the case.”
“Intimacy can be a better experience. Sex shouldn’t be all about fucking.”
“It is when you’re a rock star.” Rolling my eyes, I got up. “Goodnight, Straight Lace,” he winked, downing his wine.
“Night, Alex.” Shaking my head, I left him alone.
Once I was in the comfort of my room, I let my mind wonder. When it came to my sex life, I’d experienced good sex. David had been a wonderful lover on the occasions we’d been together, but when I thought about it, I’d never had explosive sex with any of my partners. Not that there had been that many. My last serious boyfriend had been at high school, and we’d both been inexperienced at that age. Did explosive sex even exist?
As much as I hated it, I fell asleep wondering what Alex would be like as a lover. He’d had so many partners; he was bound to be amazing. At twenty-nine, surely I should have experienced something on that level. I was still adamant that it wouldn’t be with him, but maybe Liv was right and I really did need to find a male distraction. It was the only way to get over David properly. Alex held so many parties at his mansion; I was bound to meet someone sooner or later. It was a shame I didn’t do parties that often, though.
“Come on, get your bag,” Alex called, rushing into my office a few days later.
“Why? I’m just waiting for a call to confirm our flights for Thursday.”
“They can leave a message. Come on!” He practically tipped me out of my chair. Talk about impatient.
“Where are we going?” I called after him, annoyed.
