She’s looking up at me in a daze, but I can see something stirring in those eyes of hers. Something that fucking terrifies me because I’m not sure if I’m strong enough to tell her no. “I’ll walk you up the stairs to make sure you don’t break your neck.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Is it fucking hot in here?I think it is. Her breasts press against my chest as she moves in, her lips hovering over mine as she stands tall on her tiptoes. “I can’t.”

“Why? Because I’m a mom?”

My hands grab her hips when she sways, and I hold her in place. “Because you’re Sebastian’s mom.”

“So? You hook up with random girls all the time. That’s what I need. A random hookup.”

“With you and me, it wouldn’t be random.”

Please come to your senses.She looks way too fucking beautiful, and I can’t stop staring at her full lips, wanting so fucking badly to taste them.

“I can handle it.”

“No. You can’t. Come on, Viv. Let’s get you to bed.”

She shoves me away, her face now only showing fury, and it’s not something I’m used to with Viv. “Don’t. If you’re not going to be anyrealhelp to me in bed, then don’t bother.”

“Vivienne, let me help you up the stairs.”

She brushes me off and takes off for the stairs with me quickly following. She’s more pissed-off than I’ve seen her, and she doesn’t look behind her as she tries her best to get me to leave her alone. “Go away, Asher.”

I ignore her and follow her up the stairs, holding my breath when she almost slips, but recovers, grabbing the railing. “I don’t need your help.”

We reach the top of the stairs and she turns to face me, her cheeks red from the alcohol.

“I’m sorry, I think you’ll see it more clearly tomorrow.”

“You can fuck that bitch, Bianca, but not me? Seriously?”

She turns and goes to her room, and I follow stupidly, not able to let that go as we walk into her bedroom, me on her heels. She turns around, placing a hand on her hip.

“What?”

“You and Bianca aren’t the same.”

“Right. She has plastic tits. That’s what you need, Asher? Huh?” She gestures out from her chest. “Huge boobs.”

My eyes instinctively go to her chest and nod in approval. “Nope. That’s not the reason.”

“Then why? Just tell me why you can have sex with that vapid bitch and not with me?”

I have to remind myself again that she’s drunk, and if she wasn’t, we would never be having this conversation. “You really want to know why?”

Her toes touch mine as she lifts her chin. “Yes.”

“She’s easy. Incredibly fucking easy. I can be a total fucking dick to her, put no effort into it, and she doesn’t give a fuck. She’ll spread her fucking legs for me any time I want it. And that’s the disgusting truth.”

Viv’s eyes meet mine, searching mine, and I don’t like it. I hate the way she makes me feel. Vulnerable. “I’m being pretty easy tonight.” Her mouth slides over my jaw, and I feel her lips caress my ear. “I’ll spread my legs for you.”

Fuck. Me.

“Viv.” I place my hands on her shoulder, pulling her away from me, giving my brain some space to think because right now it’s my dick that wants to do all the thinking. “You may think you’re easy tonight, but you’re not. You’re complicated as fuck, and that’s not a bad thing.”

“Because I’m a mom.”
