Free Frenemies With Benefits (Geek To Chic Book 2) by Nikki Brinks Page B

  Caressing his chest, she stood
on her tip toes, bringing her mouth within a whisper of his.   With a sardonic smile on her lips, she
whispered. “Is that what we are now, two friends hanging out?”
    Before he could answer,
a knock at the door stopped him.   Shaking
his head, he pulled away from her.   She
instantly felt the loss of his body heat.   Again her lust had got the better of her, if not for the pizza boy
arriving she would have thrown herself at her nemesis.   Rolling her eyes at her own drama queen ways,
Izzy walked into his kitchen to gather plates and drinks.  
    She knew she should
leave.   Or make a few painful spot on
smart ass comments to him to get him to back off.   Instead of doing the smart thing and heading
back down to the safety of her own apartment, she stayed to fight her enemy
head on.   Her goal was to get him to stop
coming on to her, stop being nice to her.   Rolling her shoulders back, she began mentally preparing for her bitch
off with Alex.  
    Up on her tip toes to
reach a cup in his high cabinets, Izzy was suddenly picked up by two masculine
arms and thrown over his shoulder.   “I
know I say this to you all the time, but Alex what the fuck?”   She yelled, grabbing the back of his shirt
for stability.  
    Alex didn’t bother to
answer her.   The only sign that he had
even heard her was his small chuckle.   He
carried her down his hallway, her flip flops falling off her feet as they went.
Suddenly he stopped, dropping her from his shoulder and onto his bed.   Sitting up on her elbows, Izzy was all fired
up in a few different ways.   Her mind was
so cluttered, she honestly didn’t know if she wanted to beat the crap out of
him for bringing her into his bedroom, which screamed his intent, or pull him
on top of her and lick every inch of him.  
    The
man is truly making me lose my mind!
    Holding up his hands in
surrender, Alex cut her off before she could decide which option to this
situation she was going to go with.   “Ok,
before you threaten to rip my testicles off and feed them to me, hear me
out.”   He waited a few beats, until she
settled back on the bed.   “So we know
that we can barely be in the same room as each other without wanting to kill,
maim, or otherwise do bodily harm to one another.   Unluckily for us, our best friends have
fallen in love.   The two of them are most
likely heading down the a isle, which means we are stuck with each other.”  
    At some point, Alex had
moved to the bed, and laid next to her on his side.   His hand moved to her belly.   “This means we have two choices.   One, try very hard not to be at the same
social events, or two, get the anger out of our systems.”  
    “Somehow I doubt you
are suggesting we throw on boxing gloves and go a few rounds.”   Izzy reasoned, turning on her side to face
Alex.   His hand moving from her belly to
her hip with her movement, pulling her close to his body again. Her hands
resting on his chest.   “The idea does
have merit, however, I would hate to have to explain to Derek why his CFO is in
a coma.”  
    Giving her that damn
panty dropping smile of his, he shook his head a little and laughed.   “No, I can’t say I am into those types of
sports in the bedroom.   I am suggesting
that there is a thin line between hate and lust.”   Pulling her leg over his hip, he leaned in
close to her, whispering, “I think you and I have some unfinished business. I
say we finish that business.   Fuck each
other's brains out a few times.   When we
feel we have crossed that line from hate to friendship we stop the bedroom
activities.   Parting as friends and
allowing the rest of our group the luxury of not having to worry about
bloodshed every time we share space.”  
    Rolling them, so that
she was now pressed under his weight.   She wrapped her legs firmly around his waist.   “We end as friends?”   His touch and the offer to have care free,
mind blowing sex with him was
