Page 55 of When We Fell Again
Unbeknownst to Lex, I had arranged for us to spend the night at a boutique hotel close by. I’d enlisted the help of Sadie to pack an overnight bag and smuggle it out to me when I’d popped by Lex’s flat while she’d been in the shower earlier. As soon as I could, I wanted to leave and spend the rest of the evening only the two of us. With what Lex had said just now, it seemed she felt the same way. Levi and I continued chatting about how we thought the night had gone and what happened next for the music. It wasn’t long before Lex and Sadie came back.
“I plan to go and find some bankers to spend the rest of the night with.” Sadie waved a champagne flute around. “I find myself with an empty glass again, and it looks like my bestie is about to do a runner with her very handsome boyfriend.”
I had no idea what she was talking about for the first part of her declaration but agreed with everything she had said after that. “You ready to leave?” I asked Lex.
She sighed. “I thought you’d never ask.”
Grabbing her hand, I rushed her around the room, saying my goodbyes to those who mattered. We stepped outside into the warm air, relishing the opportunity to be alone.
“Yours or mine?” questioned Lex. It was the same thing that came up every time. The answer was always Lex’s, because who wanted three housemates hearing your every move?
“I have a surprise for you.” Stepping out into the road, I hailed a black cab and we got in. I gave the driver the name of the hotel, watching Lex’s reaction.
“Are you serious?”
“Why wouldn’t I be? Don’t we deserve something nice?”
Walking into the grand foyer of the hotel, Lex’s jaw dropped. When we had been together before, our post-student budget hadn’t been able to afford anything on this grand a scale. Pleased I could do it now, I escorted her to the elevators. Once inside, I pushed her against the wall, covering her mouth with mine again. I couldn’t help myself. Now we had the opportunity, I wanted every single inch of her. The elevator stopped at our floor, and I took Lex’s hand, guiding her to our room.
With a flourish, I pulled the key card out of my pocket and let us in, propelling Lex in front of me.
“This is…” Her voice trailed off. “I can’t believe you did this.” Her gaze fell on her bag placed neatly on the luggage stand at the end of the bed. “And how did you…?”
“I may have had an accomplice.” I smirked.
“Sadie! Why didn’t she tell me?”
“Because if she had, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the expression on your face now.”
“You’re incorrigible.” Lex closed the distance between us, grabbing my shirt in her fists. “You can’t keep secrets from me.”
My hands cupped her arse, pulling the hem of the skirt up with my fingertips. “I promise not to in future.” My dick pressed against her stomach, rock hard, and she gasped against my neck. I bunched up the hem of the black lace miniskirt with my fingertips, brushing against the soft flesh at the top of her boots. Dipping into her centre, I found the material of her knickers damp. “Looks like you can’t keep secrets from me either, like how much you want me right now.” The corner of my mouth tipped up as Lex drew away from me, her pupils so black they almost eclipsed the blue-green of her eyes.
She unbuttoned the black silk blouse, and I watched it slither effortlessly to the floor, pooling around her feet. Her gaze zeroed in on mine as she stepped out of the skirt, leaving her in the sexiest matching lacy bra and panties I had ever seen. Coupled with the boots… I swallowed hard.
Her palm brushed the crotch of my jeans, just enough to make contact, and my dick swelled more in response. “Right back at you,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
“Fuck,” I growled, shaking my head.
I couldn’t take my eyes off her, all glorious tits and creamy skin. If I didn’t do something about it soon, this would all be over embarrassingly quickly. Grasping her hips, I guided her towards the edge of the bed, pushing her back just enough to topple down. I knelt down in front of her, taking one leg in my hands and unzipping the soft suede boot, then performing the identical move on the other. Before I could bend my head to kiss along the length of her toned thigh, Lex grabbed my right wrist.
“You still have this.” Her fingernail traced the tattooed letter L covered in thorns and framed with a line-drawn heart. If I wasn’t already ready to explode, her gentle scratching certainly wasn’t helping. And stalling like that was only making things worse.
“Like I could ever get rid of it.”
“But you could have covered it with something else.”
“And erase all my memories of you? Why would I do that?” I knelt back on my heels, taking a moment to appraise the almost naked woman in front of me. The woman who had a hold on my heartandmy dick. “Fuck, Lex, if you knew what you do to me.”
Her gaze dropped to the prominent bulge in my jeans. “I think I have a fairly good idea.”
“Then let’s not waste any more time.” I rose, practically ripping the buttons off my shirt as I stripped it off, kicked off my own boots, then unzipped my fly, pushing my jeans down and toeing them out of the way.
While I took off my clothes, Lex reached around an unfastened her bra, freeing her amazing tits. I gulped. Instinctively, she spread her legs as I resumed my position in front of her, propping herself up on her elbows. There she was, waiting for me to act, her breathing becoming more erratic in anticipation of what I was about to do. Trying to restrain myself from ripping her knickers, I told her to lift her arse off the bed, then continued the slow and torturous journey of lace along her skin.
“Please, Jordan,” she begged when I got the lace to her ankles. “You’re killing me here.”
Her eagerness that she wanted me as badly as I wanted her, even after all this time, the dancing around each other we’d done on tour, turned me on even more. I didn’t want to wait any longer.
