“Shut up.” She rolls her eyes, but Adam leans into her, making her blush even more.

“You’re fucking gorgeous, baby girl.”

I wink at her when she turns her eyes to me.

“You know, that’s the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day,” she says with a sweet little smile. “I’ll go relay the message.”

Adam chuckles and kisses her cheek. “I’m glad we could help with that dry-cleaning bill.”

“So that’s Alex Lexington?” I ask, gesturing to the table with my chin. “I haven’t seen her in over a decade.”

“She’s single,” Billie informs me.Fuck, I always thought Alex was sexy.“Shall I send her over?”

Fuck, Alex is gorgeous. I can see hints of the young girl I once knew, but she’s grown into an unbelievably beautiful woman. For the first time in areallylong time, the thought of sharing my man with a woman makes my cock twitch.

I run my tongue over my teeth and glance at Adam, and he nods. “If she’s interested, by all means.”

“Oh, this is fun.” With a quick goodbye, Billie leaves to join her friends, and Adam pins me in his gaze.

“You okay, baby?” Adam’s a flirt. Hell, we both are, but one of the reasons I love him is that he always makes sure I’m comfortable. That I’m okay. Because I wouldnevershare him with another man. The thought of it makes me obsessively feral. I’d burn the world to theground before I’d let any motherfucker touch what’s mine.

“I’m great. You’re going to love Alex.”

He narrows his eyes. “You sure you’re not related to her? You seem to be related to the entire fucking county.”

I snort and shake my head. “Definitely no relation. Just knew her when we were kids because her family was friends with Billie’s family. I’ll draw you a diagram sometime.”

Adam snickers just as Alex saunters our way.

Holy fucking shit.

My cock immediately joins this party as Alex approaches us. She’s in the sexiest pink dress I’ve ever seen, her long dark hair falls in waves around her shoulders, and those bright blue eyes are full of mischief.

“Hello, boys. I’m Alex.”

“I know who you are.” I laugh and pull her in for a hug, loving the way her curves fit against me. “You look fabulous.”

“So do you,” she says with a wink, then turns to Adam. “And so doyou.”

“I’m Adam, and the pleasure’s all mine, beautiful.” Adam lifts her hand to his lips, nibbling on her knuckles, and I notice the way she presses her thighs together.

Tonight’s going to be fucking awesome.

“Who’s winning?” Alex asks, gesturing to the pool table.

“We are, sweetheart,” Adam replies, making me grin and Alex laugh out loud. “You have a beautiful laugh.”

“Andyouare a fucking charmer and a half.” She tiltsher head to the side, taking us both in. “Does this whole sexy flirty act typically work for you?”

“Usually, yeah,” I reply. Adam plants his hand on the back of my neck and gives it a squeeze.

“Brat.” His eyes catch mine, and we have a whole silent conversation.

I want her, babe.

I told you you’d like her. It feels different, right?

We don’t even know her, and it doesn’t feel casual.
