Page 51 of Falling for Him
“Yeah,” Camryn says. “It was really good and by the time I was finished I was too full for anything else.”
I glance at Bennett and he offers me a wink. I figure out quickly that was his plan from the start and I’m thankful. Camryn hashad so much junk today I was starting to feel like a terrible guardian.
“Some weird girl wanted Bennett to go for a drink,” Camryn says with a shrug, sitting on the small chair Anita had set up for her earlier. “She wanted a tour of his house too,” she adds.
I look at Bennett and he is looking at Camryn with an arched brow. “Come on, squirt,” he says. “Are you trying to get me in trouble?”
“Should you be in trouble?” I ask and he shifts his attention back to me.
“No, I shouldn’t be.” He hugs me to him a little tighter and moves us off to the side. Being mad would be ridiculous, it was so long ago that he had anything with this girl.
“Emily.” I wrinkle my nose without realizing I’m doing it at the mention of her name. Bennett chuckles. “She’s an old friend.”
“Girlfriend,” I correct him and he hesitantly nods.
“She did mention being in town only for a short time and wanting to get a drink. I quickly shot that down and mentioned I’d been busy working on building a house. Which then led to her saying she’d love to see it.”
I remain quiet wanting to see where this conversation is going to go.
“Why do you have that look on your face?”
“What look?”
“Like you smell something funny.” He holds me, I’m sure to keep me from backing away.
“Do you want to go have a drink with her?”
“Nope.” He shakes his head without any amount of hesitation. “I do not.”
“Give her a tour of your house?”
“Nope,” he responds, bringing his lips closer to mine. “Camryn and I already told her about the rock climbing wall and the library for my girlfriend.”
I say nothing as he skims his lips over mine.
“At the mention of a girlfriend, Emily backed down really quickly.”
“She stopped over here first,” I tell him and he holds my stare. “Your mom isn’t a fan of hers.”
“No, my mom is friendly on most days to pretty much everyone, but Emily was one person that brought out the evil in her.” He chuckles. “She never hid it either. Told me from the start Emily was a self-centered snob.”
I don’t tell him she basically told me the same thing.
“You have nothing to worry about.” Instinctively I attempt to look down and Bennett stops me by placing a finger beneath my chin. “Not with her, and not with anyone else, Lex, that I can promise you.”
When he kisses me this time, he holds me longer, making me forget all about the conversation we’d been having. His tongue drags over the seam of my lips, making me whimper.
“It’s only you, sweetheart.” He kisses along my jaw. “You are all I see.”
CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR
Bennett
I swearshe has me in a trance. Watching her move above me, shifting her hips as she takes me inside her over and over. My toes curl into the mattress, I fist the sheet trying to hold myself together.
Sex has always been just sex to me. A release of stress, an adrenaline rush, whatever you want to refer to it as.
I’ve never had such an intense connection with anyone. But Lexi, she has me mind, body, and soul. I feel it in every ounce of my being. I am in complete awe of her, emotions I’ve never experienced before run through me each time she touches me. When she looks at me I feel like I’m on top of the world.
