“Boss, like everybody else working for him does.”
“Back there—”
“Back there, I was just trying to save myself.”
“Bull. Shit.” Her head shakes but I press the fuck on. “If you were only worried about saving your own ass, you would’ve dropped your maiden name long before there was a gun pointed at mine.”
“I had a blade under my tongue.”
“When were you planning on using it? Huh?” I feel myself get mad all over again. He could’ve… He was going to…
And she just…
When she doesn’t answer, I lower my voice to tell her, “I didn’t mean valuable as in money. I meant valuable as in precious. I don’t care about the sacrifices you’ve made to survive. I’ve had to make my own.”
Her voice is a shadow of what it just was when she says, “We’re nothing alike.”
“I think we are,” I whisper back.
“You don’t know anything about me.”
“I know you’re just as protective as I am. Otherwise you would’ve let me get robbed. Or shot. Or arrested.”
“I should’ve.”
“But you didn’t.” My cock growing to full mast against her ass, I nip at her earlobe. “Lex.”
“If you know me so well, stop calling me Lex. It’s not my name.”
“It is to me. With me, you’re not Lenox Debrosse, and you’re not Lexi…Andeno. You’re Lex.”
She spins in my arms, her eyes locked on my chest.
“Lex?”
Despite her not looking at me, I nod. “Lex.”
“Go.Home,” she stresses, still refusing to meet my eyes. “Go home to your fiancée before I…”
My grip on her sides tightens, the material of her dress bunching in my fists. “Before you what?”
She peers up at me. “Before I break up a marriage.”
“Your husband already broke it,” I rasp, mesmerized by her eyes, her lips, her everything.
“I’m not talking about mine, rook.”
My marriage? She’s worried about breaking upmymarriage?
“I’m not getting married,” I admit.
She pulls out of my grasp. “Don’t be—”
“I lied.” An arm around her waist, I drag Lex back to me so her front’s flush with mine, my hard cock trapped right between us. “The girl, the engagement, I made it all up—”
Lex’s lips crash into mine. Plump, soft, and greedy, they’re everything I remember. I deepen the kiss, licking her tongue inside her mouth over and over again until she moans, low and throaty. There’s a distinct metallic taste, but oddly, no alcohol.
My hands on her ass, I lift her a couple inches off the ground and carry her over to a dark alcove on the abandoned building.
