I give her a look. She has a bad habit of corrupting me and making me do things out of character.
“Fine!” I groan. “If this backfires, I’ll gut you.”
Lisabell laughs before raising her hands in surrender. “Easy on the violence.”
She leaves to get changed and I do so as well. An hour later, we’re both dressed and glammed up and there’s no doubt in my mind that we’re looking sexy as hell. Lisabell’s wearing a black two-piece, a mini-skirt and a bra top, which she’s able to pull off effortlessly thanks to her small boobs. She’s paired her outfit with silver heels.
“Looking to get laid?” I ask her with a raised eyebrow.
“If only I could be so lucky,” she mutters. “One last night hot night in Virginia before I have to head over to L.A. all on my own.”
“You’ll be fine,” I say dismissively. “If you really need to get laid, Declan’s available. I think.”
She wrinkles her nose. “Yeah, I’m not getting with the British billionaire. He’s been with at least half of Virginia. His playboy ways are legendary.”
“But he’s hot,” I point out.
“I know,” she says on a dreamy sigh.
I’m about to say something else when I get a text from Xander.
We’re about to pull up. Are you ready?
I text back a yes before hurriedly spraying on some perfume and hauling Lisabell’s ass out the door. Xander and Declan pull up at the same time, each of them driving equally ostentatious cars. Although, Declan definitely wins when it comes to flash.
“You couldn’t have brought one car?” I ask looking through the window of of Xander’s BMW.
He shrugs and I don’t miss the heat in his eyes as he looks at me. His gaze latches onto my chest and when he looks back up at me, there’s blatant desire coursing in his eyes. I’m glad he approves. He looks amazing as well. With his black jeans and equally black shirt, he could easily pass as a hot young model posing for a shoot, or a vampire trying to blend into the night. Basically, he could have worn more color. I don’t mind, though, especially with his chest peeking through the first few unopened buttons of the shirt.
“I tried. But Declan seemed insistent on giving usprivacy,” he replies annoyed.
We both look forward as his friend steps out of his bright green Porsche. I have to wonder how he attracts so many women with it.
“Are the two of you going to stand around and talk all day or are we going to leave?” he questions, impatience gleaming in his green eyes.
“We’re leaving,” Xander calls out before looking at me. “Get in, Firefly.”
My gaze meets Lisabell’s and she shrugs before accepting Declan’s outstretched hand.
“After you, my lady,” he says in his charming accent.
It’s pretty dark so I’m unable to glean whether Lisabell blushes. But she does head into the car without a backward glance at me.
“You look amazing, Julie,” Declan tells me prior to rounding his car and heading into the driver’s seat. He zooms off just as I climb into the passenger seat of Xander’s car.
“Should I have gotten down and opened the door for you like a gentleman?” he asks.
His voice wraps around me and suddenly, the car feels so small. I turn to look at him with a smile.
“Don’t worry, Xan. I’m more of a do-it-yourself kind of girl.”
His gaze drifts to my lips and for a second, I think he’s going to kiss me. I know I wouldn’t stop him. But then he groans before starting the car.
“I have no self-control around you, Juliette.”
I don’t see how that’s a problem. I turn away so he doesn’t see me smile.
