Fakers with Benefits (Crimson Club Book 2)

by Willow Dixon

“Um, I have to work on Monday.” “When do you get off?” “As often as my wrist will allow.”

“Gray says that to me all the time. Trust your gut. But my gut also told me that getting a perm last summer was a good idea, so what does that bitch know?”

“Currently impersonating a duck.” He crept toward the desk. “A duck?” “You know, all calm and chill over the water but their feet are going like crazy underneath. That’s me. Only the feet are my brain.

“Not my fault you’ve got a muffin butt. It’s squeezable, so I squeezed it.” He shrugged. I smirked. “Did I complain?” “Nope. Which is why I kept doing it. Your butt was basically my fidget spinner tonight.”

“Not you.” Nick snuggled up to me and wrapped both arms around my middle. “Someone who isn’t a judgey mcjudgerson.”

I pressed a soft kiss to his lips. “I mean it. No limits. Today is about you getting spoiled.”

“Because I enjoy spoiling people I like. Seeing you happy makes me happy. And the selfish bastard in me likes knowing you’ll be wearing clothes I gave you.”

“You okay?” I asked Vlado. He’d spent the last few minutes staring at a spot on the floor in front of him with a blank look on his face. He shook his head, then glanced up. “Yeah. Fine. I’m just…” “Having a bit of a sexual crisis?” I chuckled at his gobsmacked expression. He scrubbed a hand through his dark hair. “Little bit. I never realized the stuff I like on women could look that good on a man. Or at least on a man who looks like him.”

You’re…you’re a breath of fresh air after a storm. You brighten the room just by being in it, and you’re one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met. I never know what you’re going to say next, and I can honestly say that the time I’ve spent with you has been the most fun I’ve had in years.”
