“Okay, well come right in, why don’t ya,” I murmur under my breath. I don’t know why he’s here. We never discussed the status of our whatchamacallit. I run a hand over my face and lock my door. Maybe that’s why he’s here.

“So I’ve been thinking,” he announces from my kitchen as he places the bag on the table and sits down.

“You were thinking?” I tease from across the room. “You can do that?”

He flexes his jaw, amusement glinting in the endless pools of his eyes. “You wanna play, baby?” He pushes out the chair with his feet and pats his lap. “Then come sit right here. I have a really fun game we could play. I’ll even let you win.”

A sudden heat wave creeps up my body. My muscles burn hot, my nerves tingle—every molecule reacting to the sensual undercurrent of his words. His eyes slide up and down my body, and I feel his touch as though it’s really there. He pays special attention to my thighs, and my core turns molten from the intense firestorm whirling in his gaze.

Once I’m near enough, he reaches out, clasping his hands possessively around my hips, his thumbs burrowing into my skin as he pulls me closer. Something quivers in my throat and he takes that moment to lift me off my feet and crashes me on top of him.What’s going on here?I feel his growing erection against my pussy.Forget it, I don’t give a shit.

My shorts climb up my ass as his hands slide down to rest against each cheek. “You in this outfit…how the hell am I supposed to think straight?” He grabs a handful, squeezing my flesh in his palms, and his breath falters just enough to show how much I affect him too. The hard bulge pressing into my center has me clenching hard, needing him to fill me.

“Why did you come?” I roll my hips a little, finding a sliver of confidence. His cock flinches against me. “You better talk quick, soldier.” Another roll, deeper this time. “I have to exercise before work.”

He lifts a hand to the back of my head, pushing me closer into his mouth until our noses kiss. “Did I mention I’m a great personal trainer?” he husks out, spelling wicked intentions across my lips.

“Really? Is that listed on your resume?” I breathe out, the words fading from the desire coursing through my veins.

“Mm-hmm, right under skills. I’ll have you sweating and cursing my name in less than five minutes.”

I squeeze my thighs on top of his, my stomach tumbling.

“I’ve missed you Lex, missed this.” I pull back as his brows dip with frayed emotion.

I feel the weight of his words in my heart. “Me too.”

“I have a proposition.” His thumb moves along the base of my jaw. “That’s why I’m here.”

“Should I be afraid?” I breathe out, closing my eyes, enthralled by his touch, both smooth and rough.

“I hope not.” His thumb moves to my lips, parting them just enough to slip inside. I suck on it, taking small nibbles, and he roughly pulls my hair back. “You’re distracting me from my thought process.”

“You started it.”

“And you don’t know how badly I want to finish it, but I came to say something.”

“Then say it.”

“Well, since we’re both adults—” His silky voice fades as he roughly fists my hair

“Yeah…”

His mouth draws closer to my ear and he pulls my lobe in between his lips, dragging his teeth across it before whispering, “We should give friends…with benefits a try. I think we would both enjoy it.”

Wait, what!I pull my head back and he drops his hand to my hip, holding me tightly still. “I’m sorry, what!”

“You know, friends who fuck but without the messy relationship entanglements and shit.” Oh yeah, he’s dead serious.

I blink hard, shaking my head. “I haven’t lived in a cave my whole life. I know what the term means.”

“So is that a yes?” He hits me with one of his devilish grins, arching his hard-on into me, which only confuses me further. My heart strums in an enthused rhythm as though agreeing already, but could I really do this? How do I separate my emotions from all the physical stuff?

“You know those things never work, right?” I ask, trying to climb off of him, needing some space to think without his body so close to mine. But his strong hands on my hips keep me steadily on top of his thighs.

I’m not the kind of girl who’d ever agree to this kind of thing, but whatever I’ve done in the past clearly hasn’t worked for shit, so maybe I could use something different. Once my feelings for him begin to climb, teetering between like and love, we’ll end it.

“We can make it work,” he says, rather convincingly. His fingers caress my lower back, gliding up and down my exposed skin. “I know you want something more and I’m not that man, but I won’t stop you from finding it either.”
