God, I want that little pink pointed devil all over my body. The lights along the corridor make his lips sparkle. And all I can think about is Edward Fucking Cullen and his hot, pasty, sparkling vampire ass. I wonder if Beck is a biter? God, I fucking hope so.
Beck begins to move his sparkly Edward-esque lips toward mine. My eyes flutter closed.His breath fans against my mouth. The anticipation of what’s to come is killing me as he hovers his mouth over mine. The slight touch of his lips finally reaches me.My body starts to melt and…”Oh shit!” is all I manage to shout as Wookie yanks me from Beck and tries to drag me toward the front door.
“Okay, boy. Slow down. We’re almost there,” I say to the little, furry cock-blocker.
Beck moves around us while Wookie tries to pull me like a sled. Beck holds the door and then follows us down the steps after we pass. Sniffing around, Wookie finally finds his spot, and we wait. I can feel Beck’s eyes on me. All over me. So intense, it's like he's touching me.
“What’s on the agenda today, Miss Greystone?” His eyes light up from his smile. I shouldn’t sayhim, should I?
“I’m heading in to work. I’m stopping off to grab some breakfast and coffee for Christina and myself. How about you?”
“I umm, would you mind if I tagged along? I’m pretty hungry and coffee sounds good.” His hand finds its way to the back of his neck and rubs back and forth. He seems a bit nervous. Thank God! I thought I was the only one.
“I’d be okay with that.”
More than okay…if the butterflies performing aerial acrobatics in my stomach are any indicator.
A large electric truck pulls up as we wait. The men get out and set up under the streetlight that’s burned out.
“I can’t believe they’re finally going to fix that light and on a Saturday.” I watch the man hop into the lift and press a few buttons before he begins his skyward climb.
“Looks like your persistence paid off.” Beck shoots me that sexy smirk, and damn, it’s pretty.
“Yeah, I only had to call a million times. No big deal.”
We wait for Wookie to finish, and I start heading down the sidewalk with Beck in tow.
“Wookie going to work with you today?”
“Yeah, I usually take him on Saturdays. I feel bad leaving him alone so many hours during the week when I work. I sneak by on my lunch and feed him and let him out.”
“If I’m at home, I can always let him out for you. I wouldn’t mind.”
My heart just melted. He is so kind and hot and sweet and hot. I said hot already, didn’t I?
“Thanks. That'd be great, actually.” Oh hell. I forgot about the damn hole. I'll have to hide it better somehow if I give him access to my apartment. Maybe, I'll just never actually take him up on his offer. I can't chance it. If he saw that hole and knew I didn't tell him about it, I can't even imagine how he'd feel. Pissed wouldn't begin to cover it. I'm violating this man's most private moments and enjoying the hell out of it. What's wrong with me?
“Yeah, anytime. Just ask.” He smiles at me so sweetly, it causes all the guilt to churn in my belly. Why am I spying on him? I need to stop. I need to fix the hole before I mess up what could be a good friendship or maybe more. Okay. That's it. I'm not spying on him anymore, and I'll call someone on Monday to come fix the hole.
Problem solved.
Chapter Nine
Glory
I glance over at Beck just in time to see him slide his sunglasses on. Damn it if he isn’t even hotter. He absolutely looks the part of a rock god. I did a little research on him, and he is just as famous as the girls said. His band has sat on the top of the charts since their debut about ten years ago. Which means, Beck is loaded. Not that I care about such things, but it does tell me he isn’t flashy like you’d think he would be. My building is nice, but I definitely couldn’t afford to buy there, and I do pretty well. With the money he has to be making, he could afford a mansion or a private island. Hell, he could afford a mansion on a private island. So, this leads me to think he is pretty down to earth. I like that about him. I don’t think he even owns a car.
We head to Everything is Better with Cream, Jen and Evelyn’s bakery, for breakfast. He holds the door and let’s Wookie and me enter first. As soon as the door chimes and Jen looks up and sees who I’m with, her eyes go wide before her devious little devil smile shines. I smile back like a giddy kid showing off a new pony. I search but don’t see Ev. She must be in the back.
“Morning, you two. Are you hungry?” Jen asks, that devil smirk even bigger now. She may sound like she’s just asking an innocent question, but I know her. Her question really means,Glory, did you wake up in bed with him this morning?I just smile and answer her question. “Famished.” Her eyes shoot wide for a second before Ev saunters in.
“Well, my, my, my…look here. What are you two up to this morning? Out and about early, aren’t you?” She pins me with a glare.
“I bumped into Glory on her way out this morning, and she was gracious enough to let me tag along. We need some food and coffee please, ladies.” I watch Jen and Evelyn all but produce heart eyes. I know how you feel, girls.
I swear, everything he says and does is like throwing lust fuel on my sex fire. I watch with rapt fascination when he bites into his bagel. Those luscious lips close around it as his teeth sink into it. I imagine him biting into my shoulder while he thrusts into me from behind. The muscles in his defined jaw work as he chews, and the sexy way his Adam’s apple bobs when he swallows steals my breath. Watching someone eat shouldn’t make you horny, but I swear, watching Beckett eat is near orgasmic for me.
Jen and Evelyn don’t help. I can feel them staring at us. Every time I turn to look behind the counter, they are standing there smiling at us like loons. Of course, Evelyn is about as subtle as an explosion. She keeps coming over to refill our drinks and bring us more food. Speak of the devil.
