“You’re an asshole!” she hollered.
“Why?” He honestly looked puzzled. This made him an even bigger asshole for not even realizing he was an asshole.
“Her name is Melinda, and don’t you dare talk about her like that!” Sadie pointed her finger at him.
He looked over to Stone. He tried to hide a smile but was failing.
“Talk about her like what? I didn’t say anything bad. All I said was she sucked my dick because she did. She sucked my dick,” he stated, matter of fact.
“Stop saying that.” Sadie covered her ears.
The door burst open and Sadie looked over to see Roxanne walk in. She kept her hands over her ears like a two-year-old. She scanned the room and Sadie could tell Roxanne was trying to hold back a laugh when she saw her. They were all trying to hold back laughter as they watched her. She must have looked like a complete childish moron.
“Oh, shut up, T. No one wants to hear about your dick or who’s sucking it.” Roxanne rolled her eyes and let out a dramatic sigh.
Stone chuckled while T folded his arms and glared at her. Sadie remained stone-faced, still holding her ears.
“Whatever! Can we just fucking go? I never got dinner and I’m starving,” he complained to Roxanne.
“Okay, fine, but you’re buying for waking me up to come get your sorry ass,” she teased.
“Not my fault, blame this fucker.” He pointed to Stone. “He about blew a fucking fuse when this one,” then pointed to Sadie, “went MIA.”
This piece of information had Sadie lowering her hands from her ears and looking over at Stone. He got mad when he didn’t know where she was? His face looked calm but there was something else there. There was something in his eyes. He was worried about her; Sadie knew by the way he looked at her now. His stare was heated and she was brought back to their kiss. Her breasts perked up and her nipples poked through her tank under her sweatshirt. Until now, with everything going on she hadn’t had time to think about her outfit. A thin tank and boys shorts. The sweatshirt came to her knees so she was completely covered. But under Stone’s stare, she felt very exposed.
“Sadie?”
She looked around and realized everyone was staring at her again. Roxanne was talking to her while she was consumed with thoughts of Stone. This was embarrassing.
“Uh yeah?” Her breath was too shallow to go unnoticed.
Roxanne gave Sadie a knowing smirk. “You are coming to my birthday on Thursday, right? We’re all going to DL’s for my twenty-first! You have to come and celebrate the birth of me,” she excitedly announced, spreading her arms wide.
Sadie giggled at her dramatics. Roxanne was funny. She acted like she really wanted her there. Sadie didn’t even know her but she wanted her to be part of her celebration. She was about to answer but Stone beat her to it.
“She’ll be there.”
Roxanne did a little dance in the living room before T grabbed her arm and pulled her to the door.
“Jeez, T, what’s the rush?” She laughed.
“I want to get you as far away as possible from here so Stone and his woman can continue their eye fucking. Let’s go.” He pulled her out the door while she laughed hysterically.
Chapter Nine
They were alone.
She’d fantasized about this moment. She had a dream of this exact scenario. She seduced him. He would have to sit and watch as she stripped and made him completely hot for her but he couldn’t touch her. He’d have to wait for her to come to him. Sadie loved that dream. She loved the look in his eyes, pure lust. Her dream was erotic and unfiltered and dirty. And here she was. It was as if someone set it up and said, “Have at it, it’s yours, do what you will.” The only thing this scenario lacked was the confidence she had in her dream.
She’d always played it safe. She wasn’t a risk taker. All her relationships had been led by the other person. It was like forever being the co-star on a TV show. She watched Stone on her couch, leaning back relaxed and comfortable, his arms resting on the top of the seat, legs spread. He looked as though this was the only place he wanted to be right now. Yeah, she’d be his co-star.
“Come here.” A sexy smirk teased his lips. His eyes drew her to him as she stood up and walked to him. She was gifted with a gorgeous sinful smile and a sultry stare. Sadie stopped in front of him. She wanted him so badly, but she was unsure of herself. This was a man who had definitely been with a lot of women. She, on the other hand, had only been with Tyler.
He was looking at her with the sexiest look she’d ever seen a man give a woman. Her heart was pumping, her nerves were taking over her body, and she began to shake a little. He reached for her but she stepped back.
He leaned back into the couch and scowled. “You teasing me?” he asked gruffly. His face was a mask, she couldn’t read him. But by his question, he thought she was playing games. She was messing this up because she didn’t know what to do. Shit!
Sadie shook her head and held his gaze.
“Then what’s the problem?” His tone was slightly irritated. He folded his arms over his chest.
Be honest with him, Sadie, you have nothing to lose. Just be honest. Her gaze dropped to the floor and with a deep breath, she was honest.
“I don’t know what I’m doing,” she blurted out, and gestured between them. “I’ve only been with Tyler and well, as you heard,
