Chapter 5 - Maddox
She looked so fucking good. It was making the animal in me rear its savage head. Desire pumped through my veins until my whole body felt like it was on fire. Her tight little body looked perfect in that booth.
She looked at her friend and I glanced at Carter.
This was a pleasant turn of events. Usually we’d come to O’Grady’s to disappear, but sitting next to these two stunners was even better.
“So what have you guys got planned for us tomorrow,” Carter asked, draping his arm over Veronica’s shoulder. She smiled.
“Oh, you know, the usual ‘rock star’ sort of thing. Bad boys, leather, black.”
“The usual ‘rock star’ sort of thing,” Carter repeated, grinning. “I might be wrong, but it sounds like you might be making fun of us.”
“Not at all,” Lacie replied innocently. Her eyes gleamed. “We’re just working with what you’re giving us.”
“And that is…?” I asked.
She swung her pretty emerald eyes at me and stretched those perfect lips into a smile. My cock throbbed. I wanted to see those lips wrapped around it.
“You’re giving us the ‘bad boy rocker’ vibe. Trashing hotel rooms, bankruptcy, angry exes,” she teased. “We’ve all seen the papers.”
She arched her eyebrow, almost like a challenge. Her tone wasn’t malicious, but there was definitely an undercurrent of electricity to it.
For the first time since this whole roller coaster started six months ago, I actually felt a bit embarrassed at our behavior. She was right, we had trashed hotel rooms. We had financial problems and angry exes. I was glad she didn’t mention family issues, because that would mean she knew way too much about me.
I straightened myself up. “What if I told you that we were actually just three sensitive guys who were going through a tough time right now?”
Lacie looked at me, reading my face as if she were trying to figure me out. Her gaze made my skin crackle, and I itched to touch her. I wanted to run my thumb along her lower lip and taste that pretty pink mouth. I wanted to trail my fingers over her breast and pull her hips on top of mine.
But I didn’t.
I let her stare at me as I burned for her.
“If that were true,” she said slowly, “I would be very sympathetic.”
She grabbed her drink and lifted it to her lips, pausing before she drank from it. “But I don’t condone any sort of trashing of any sort of room.”
“Maybe because you haven’t done it yet,” Carter laughed. “It’s actually really cathartic.”
“‘Yet’ he says,” Veronica grinned, rolling her eyes. “As if you two will corrupt us so easily.”
“You never know,” Carter replied, leaning in closer to her. I could see the look in his eye, and it was the same look I was sure I had in mine: pure, unadulterated lust.
He glanced at me and gave me a quick nod. I grinned.
“What do you ladies say we get out of here? Our place is only a short drive away, and I’m not going to lie, it’s a lot nicer than O’Grady’s,” I grinned.
Lacie and Veronica looked at each other, and it seemed like they were having a silent conversation. They communicated wordlessly for a few seconds, and finally Lacie turned to me.
“Sure,” she said, her sensual smile sending a thrill straight down my spine. “We’d love to. Never been to a rock star’s house before.”
“You guys live together?” Veronica asked.
Carter nodded. “Moved in after my divorce. I’ve known this guy since I was fourteen.”
“Kind of like us,” Lacie laughed. “Vee and I have known each other since grade school.”
I slipped out of the booth and held out my hand to Lacie. She stuffed the rest of her papers in her bag, and slipped her delicate hand in mine.
