moment that Spencer will be mine.
Spencer smiles that panty melting smile before leaning down and brushing his lips across mine. When he pulls away he places his forehead against mine and stares into my eyes. The intensity in his eyes makes my heart flutter.
“You’re one of a kind, Lexi, and you scare the holy living fuck out of me,” Spencer says softly.
“You scare me too, Spencer. This is all new to me. I want to take this journey with you. That is, if you are willing to give me that chance.” I hold my breath waiting for his reply.
Spencer continues to stare into my eyes without saying anything for what feels like forever. I may pass out from lack of oxygen at any moment. I can’t force the breath out of my lungs.
“Just be patient with me, okay? I’m sure I will fuck this up somehow so let’s go one step at a time. Can we do that?”
My breath leaves me in a rush as I reach up and latch my mouth to his answering him in the only way I can at the moment. I know that Spencer is the person I’ve waited for all along. I’m a little overwhelmed with emotions at the moment. Our bodies are still connected and I hope that when the euphoria of this moment passes, he doesn’t throw all those bricks back up blocking the entrance to his heart.
Chapter Eleven
Lexi
I let Spencer drive us to Brenna and Tucker’s house. He starts whining about my car being too small. Well, in case he hasn’t noticed I’m a small person. I can’t help it if his tall ass can’t fit in here. It’s quite amusing though, watching him try to get in before he put the seat back. I’m glad he wanted to drive though, because it gives me time to read.
Kicking off my shoes and putting my feet up on the dash, I’m ready to delve back into Cage by Harper Sloan. Holy Hell, he’s hot! Just when I thought he is this big ole sweet teddy bear. WHAM! HELLO ALPHA! That chick, Melissa, is one lucky bitch! Then there’s Cohen, oh that little boy melts my heart and makes me wanna pee my pants at the same time from laughing. I just can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next.
If I ever have kids I want one just like Cohen. I glance over at Spencer and wonder if he will be as protective over his own family one day. Will he be my Greg Cage?
Spencer cuts his eyes toward me and a small smile spreads across his handsome face.
“What are you thinking about?” He asks.
“Nothing, just admiring the view,” I lie. If I tell him what I’m thinking about, he’d probably jump out of the car while it’s moving right here on I-65, with traffic zooming past us at 70 mph.
I go back to reading, trying to keep my thoughts on this hot ass man written in the pages. The more I read, the warmer it gets in the car. Wow, Harper sure can write a sex scene. I’m about two seconds away from demanding Spencer pull over and take care of my book induced arousal.
I’m so close to the end of this one and can’t wait to get to the next book. I love this series and can’t wait to see what Brenna thinks about them. I just sent Axel to her Kindle not long ago and even with everything that’s going on, she’s reading it slowly when she’s not with Tucker. I’ve got Beck loaded on here and can’t wait to see what’s up between him and Dee.
I continue to read as the scenery changes from city to rural and recognize that we are getting closer to Brenna’s house. I hear my phone chime with a text message and groan. Why do people always want to chat when you’re at 90% on your Kindle! I mean really? Don’t they know it’s crucial not to mess with a book whore and her reading?
Pulling my phone out of my purse I swipe the screen and hit my inbox icon. Well, I can’t be too upset it’s B.
Brenna: Hey u on ur way?
Lexi: Yep about 30 mins away.
Brenna: Sweet! C ya soon <3
Lexi: C ya soon <3
Hmmm… Wonder what that was all about. She knew we were coming and we’re not running late. I know she’s up to something. I just haven’t figured out what yet.
