“Should I be nervous?” I ask as I also climb off the bed.
“Nope, just going to see if they want to join in on the fun,” he chuckles.
“O-o-okay,” I shrug and move toward his walk-in closet to where my clothes now reside on one side of it. Not just a few articles. Nope. My entire wardrobe is inside it. Evidently, my mom and dad have agreed to let me move in with Lex as they’ve decided to put my childhood home up for sale and until it’s sold have gone on vacation for the time being.
Maybe I should be hurt or even sad they are selling the house but, in all honesty, I’m not.
Doing as Lex said I strip out of the clothes I’d been wearing and slip on a pair of jeans. Picking a hoodie, I snag it off the hanger and throw it on over the ‘A Demon’s Among Us’ t-shirt I’d stolen from Lex. I knew he was in a band, who didn’t, but other than on the internet, I’ve never seen him play live. Because they practice at the music shop, they all own together, I haven’t even heard them practice.
By the time I have my boots on, Lex comes back in the room, smiling. “You ready, baby?”
“I guess so,” I shrug, nervous about what he has planned.
“Alright, Chaz isn’t coming with us because Bethany isn’t feeling too hot today plus, she’s due any day now. Tanner and Hunter are coming along, Alexis all but pushed Tanner toward the door. Said she wanted a nap without him hovering over her,” Lex chuckles as he walks across the room.
“Well, she is pregnant, too. I’m sure she is exhausted,” I murmur, my eyes following Lex. My mouth waters at the sight of him as he strips off the shirt he was wearing and drops his sweatpants. “Umm, what are you doing?”
“I’m changing, baby. What does it look like I’m doing? Can’t go out in my sweats,” he grins.
“I-I know that, Lex, I’m talking about you stripping in front of me,” I stammer.
“Did I not just kiss you?”
“You did.”
“Then, baby, that means you’re starting to grow more comfortable around me. You’re in my bed and every night you wrap yourself as tight as you can around me. You wear my shirts and I fuckin’ love that shit. I’m taking shit with you slow as fuck, but you gotta know all of me,” he states pulling out a pair of jeans from his dresser and slips them on.
“I do know you.”
“You don’t, Mackenzie. For the past month, I’ve been focused on making sure your mind is at ease. You were healing both mentally and physically. Does that mean I’m going to push myself on you now? Fuck no. When it comes time for me to sink deep inside your body, baby, that’s going to be for you to make the first move. I will; however, start making sure to kiss that mouth as much as I can. Because I gotta tell you, those lips are softer than I’ve dreamed of.”
Holy smokes.
Speechless, I merely stare at Lex as he finishes getting ready. My mind ponders over everything he’d just said. From the fact he’s dreamed of my lips to the fact he’s going to wait for me to make the first move when it comes to us having sex.
“Would it make me a slut for loving the idea of you being inside me?” The question falls from my lips before I can stop myself.
Lex who was bent over pulling on a boot glances up at me, his eyes studying my face. “Mackenzie, nothing about you is slutty. And the fact you love the idea of me being deep in your pussy makes me not want to leave this room.”
My breath hitches and my body tingles. Before I can find the words, he continues.
“However, we’re going to. We’re going to go have some fun. Then this evening I’m ordering us Mexican for dinner. We’ll eat while watching a movie. Afterwards, I plan to stretch out next to you on the bed and I’m going to make out with you like I’ve always wanted to.”
Well, okay then. That sounds good to me considering my body has always belonged to him. It always has. I used to dream of my first time being with him and that was taken from me, as well as Lex, now that I know it’s always been me for him.
Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath like Cleo told me to do whenever my mind started going down that road. “Move forward always. Never look back. It’s only then that they still control you.” Her words ring in my head.
“Ready to go have some fun?” Lex asks, pulling me back out of my head.
Smiling, I nod my head, “Yeah, I’m ready.”
“Good,” he murmurs, holding his hand out for me to take.
Taking his hand, I allow Lex to pull me from the room.
Chapter Nine
Lex
Today for the first time in a long fuckin’ time I have laughed as much as I have in, I honestly don’t remember.
Tanner, Hunter, and I took Mackenzie out on the trails behind the house on the four-wheelers. I laughed with my Starlight as she’d clung to me when I whipped into a mudhole. I also laughed when she’d start laughing when I sped down a straightaway. Tanner and I ended up in a race at one point. It was fuckin’ great. Best of all, Mackenzie seemed to have a blast.
Earlier today when I’d pressed my lips to hers, I’d wanted more. Then when she asked if it made her a slut for wanting me inside her, I’d nearly taken her right then and there. The need to
