Lex (Unexpected, #5)

by Cora Rose

“Kiss me,” I whisper because I want to see if he tastes as good as he smells.

“Oh, sweet William Bernard, I am going to fucking wreck you if you think this was crazy.”

“Be there, William. Don’t make me hunt you down. I will find you. I have my ways.”

“You’ll tell me, eventually. But I’ll let you go and see Lex now. I’ll see you in the morning,” she says, and then adds, “I love you.”

“I am going to be all your firsts, William.

My ass moves in the seat. Jesus fucking Christ. It just wants out of this chair and onto his lap. It wants to sit on his sexy pierced dick.

“Come with me,” he says, grabbing onto my straining, leaking dick and walking me into his room like a dog. I nip and pant at his heels because he’s using my cock as a leash and I’m desperate for whatever lesson he has in store for me.

“I don’t think I will. You’re parading your penis in front of my boyfriend in that sexy underwear. So, this is revenge. Where did you get that, by the way? I think August would like it if I bought some. Babe, without looking at them, don’t you think I’d look good in those?”

“Do you have any other family?” he asks. “No. All I have is Emery and Brenda. And that’s all I need.” William sighs against me, his breath tickling my skin. “And me,” he whispers.

“You are. But let me tell you…” Lex says, moving toward me and threading his fingers through my hair. “I have never been addicted to anyone like I am to you.”

“Lexington.” He groans next to me, adjusting his pants in the process. “Jesus, when you say my name like that.” I huff out a laugh because he’s utterly ridiculous. “Lexington, I don’t see anyone else when you’re around.”

“William,” he says, panting slightly. “What the hell are we supposed to do with these?” He waves to his crotch and then mine.

“What has gotten into you? You’re being…sexily mean,” Emery says, nuzzling into August’s side. “I’m not sure if I like it.”

“Mating ritual…we’ll see about that when we get home. I’ll mate you all fucking night long.”

“Why do you taste so good?” he asks, licking up my spine. “I’m a cannibal now.”

“No need to brag, Bren,” he says. “You were right, we were wrong. Your grandson is delightful and delicious and I can’t get enough.”

“Yes, so fucking sweet.” Then he whispers in my ear. “I wonder if your ass tastes as good.”

“Who said I’d marry you?” I ask, arching an eyebrow at him. He glances up at me, those blue eyes of his so endearing, and I just melt. “Fine. If you insist. We will discuss details later.”

“I said no tattoos and I mean it. So, this is a compromise,” I tell them and peek over at William who is just watching me carefully. He turns his head and says gently, “Yes. We compromise in this family.”

“I am consumed by you,” he says, running one of his hands through my hair and tugging on it. “I have never felt this way about another person.”

“It’s okay. You’re okay,” William whispers, his lips on my temple. “Come back to me, Lexington.”

“Me, Lexington. Me. I will love you.”

“I forgot to ask, are you okay, love?” Lex asks, his voice hoarse. My throat is sore and my eyes feel heavy but I smile sadly as I shake my head. “No, I’m not but I’m strong for you, Lex. I’ll be strong for you.”

Lex stiffens and lifts his head, his eyes a little duller than normal. “Don’t do it, Martha. I can’t bear it. I can’t lose you too.” She pulls her bottom lip between her teeth and nods. “I have years left, asshole. I’ll drink your fucking green tea. And I’ll cut back on the sugar packets.”

“Are those my pajamas you’ve been working on?” Lex asks. “You betcha.” He runs his hand over the fabric of the adult-sized footie pajamas and meets her gaze. “There are dicks on this. You used a dick pattern?” “Yeah, so? You like cock.”

“We have each other,” he chants over and over and when I finally calm down, Lex is the only thing I can see. “Don’t leave me,” I whisper. “Never.”

“God, I love how you always say yes to me.” He rests his forehead against mine. “I just want to feel something good, William. And you feel so fucking good.”

“I love you, Lexington. I know I don’t say a lot, and voicing my feelings is not something I’m particularly used to. But I promise I’ll work on saying it as often as you need. Just know that even when I don’t say it, I feel it. All the time, every day.”

eyebrows shoot up, obviously surprised at my brash and random declaration in the midst of half-packed boxes. “Oh yeah?” “Of course I do. I don’t take this lightly. I’ve loved like a handful of people in my life, but I’ve never felt this way about another person.” His cheeks darken as he pulls me against him. “Well good, and I love you too.”

And let me tell you, I researched the fuck out of nail salons that were actually sanitary. This place costs an arm and a dick, but I’ll pay it because they sanitize their tools properly.
