Her belly fluttered, and her sex clinched. This was the side of Alex that she longed to get to know. The man who didn’t hold back. Despite her nerves, she was tempted to do it just to show him how much she liked the promises he was making. Except she didn’t have enough nerve.
“Do you want to be watched, Ashleigh?” He asked, licking her neck.
She didn’t answer. She couldn’t. The answer surprised even her. Yes, she wanted to be watched. Maybe not by her closest friends, but the idea intrigued her. But she figured it was only in the hypothetical sense.
“Damn, baby.” He said when he pulled back. “It’s a good thing my shirts not tucked in. Every one of them would know exactly what you do to me.” Taking her hand, he placed her palm against the hard ridge behind his zipper and Ashleigh eagerly rubbed him, wanting him to keep going.
He growled.
“Now, that’s hot as hell.” Luke said as he approached.
Ashleigh jerked away from Alex, her face heating with embarrassment.
“What’s up?” Alex asked, acting as though they hadn’t been groping one another only seconds before in the middle of her kitchen.
“Just getting some beers. Come join us when you’re done.” He laughed as he pulled three long neck bottles from the fridge and turned back the way he’d come.
“I’ve never been into the idea of being watched, but with you... I could get into it. Really into it.” Alex said as he pulled her close once again.
Ashleigh laughed, a rough sound that broke loose. She was in over her head right now, and she needed to catch her breath before she did something stupid.
Alex retrieved a beer from the fridge before turning back to her. “Don’t go far.” He grinned and then walked off.
Ashleigh leaned against the counter, trying to get her bearings. Holy shit. How did he do that? Turn her into some wanton woman who’d do anything to please him.
With a deep sigh, she steeled herself for what was to come.
Chapter Twenty One
Alex hadn’t expected anyone to be at Ashleigh’s when he got there. And what made him come on to her the way he had was beyond him. It had hit him the moment he saw her, looking sexy as hell in those tight jeans she seemed to love, encasing her beautiful ass so perfectly.
When he told her that he’d never been into being watched, that had been partly true. He’d done it on occasion. Once at the club, and a couple of times when he was younger, when the moment presented itself and his curiosity won out. But never with someone that he cared about. And he cared about Ashleigh.
It wasn’t the idea of being watched that excited him, it was the idea of her being watched that intrigued him. First of all, he got the impression she wanted to venture into unfamiliar territory. Granted, he’d spent the last two days reading her latest novel and holy hell, he’d had a hard on that just wouldn’t quit.
And he’d been making mental notes of some of the kinkier things he planned to do to her. All in an attempt to see how far she was willing to go. Which was what happened when he’d had her in the kitchen. The memory of the last time they’d been in there, his dick buried in her sweet mouth had sent the blood flowing straight to his groin, leaving him aching and eager.
But he wasn’t serious. Was he? No, at least not at the moment.
Joining the others in the back, Alex geared up to be ribbed.
Luke didn’t disappoint.
“Man, you might want to be careful.” He started in on Alex the second he sat down. “You know how we feel about the whole voyeuristic thing. Turns us on.”
“Shut the hell up, McCoy.” Alex muttered, taking a long pull on his beer. “That’s for my eyes only, and you know it.”
“Is that right?” Logan chimed in. “From what it sounds like, you’ve got a wildcat on your hands. She might just push those boundaries you’ve put in place.”
He didn’t have boundaries.
Ok, he had a few.
“You telling me you want to watch?” Alex pushed.
“Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.” Cole said, grinning.
“What the hell are you talking about?” Alex asked. “You telling me you’re into watching? Or being watched?”
How they hell they’d ended up on this subject, he had no idea, but he hoped it would change soon.
“Both.” Logan confirmed. “And if you’re girl is anything like ours, you’re in for it, so you better be a little more open minded.”
Open minded? Hell, Alex had probably done things these three had never dreamed about. Not that he would tell them that. And not that he would try those same things with Ashleigh. He was all for getting her worked up and making her come, but with as little experience as she had, he couldn’t push her too quickly.
