Page 58 of Big Daddy to Go

Lexi’s eyes narrow, and she shoves me against the wall. We’re both surprised by the power behind her push.

“I told you I don’t care about money!”

“So the sex then. Was he as good as me? Were you hoping to get what you were missing after he dumped you?”

Lexi shoves my chest again, but this time, I grab ahold of her wrists.

“You want the truth?” she asks, her voice cracking with emotion.

“Yes, that’s all I ever wanted from you,” I grit my teeth at her.

“Jason was lousy at everything. In bed and at being my boyfriend. I was with him because I didn’t think I could do any better,” she admits, tearing away from my grasp.

She hides her face in her hands as she cries. Wiping her tears with the back of her arm, she looks in my direction, but she doesn’t look into my eyes.

“Did you come here to humiliate me? Maybe you are more like Jason than I thought after all.”

She turns away from me again, her body racked by tears. My heart hurts.

“Lex, I’m not trying to humiliate you. I just don’t get why you would think you had to settle for that scumbag…”

She wipes her eyes again and turns toward me. This time, she makes eye contact.

“I’m not exactly Miss America,” she laughs through her tears.

“Who would want Miss America?” I ask, walking up to her.

She looks up at me, and I wipe her tears and her messed up mascara away with my fingers. All of my anger dissipates as I look down into her sad eyes.

“Kane, I didn’t mean what I said.”

“When?”

“Before… when I said you’re like Jason. You’re nothing alike,” she smiles.

“Why did you come onto me that night if I looked like the guy you didn’t love and who left you at the altar?”

“I was drunk, and even though you resembled Jason, there was something in your eyes… in the way you spoke… I wanted you.”

“You wanted to fuck me?”

She blushes and shrugs.

“Yeah, that was the plan. I didn’t expect to see you again, but I’m glad I did.”

“Come here,” I motion her to me.

Leaning down, I capture Lexi’s lips in a kiss. I run my hand along her cheek, wrapping my arms around her and lifting her up. Lexi’s legs wrap around my waist as I push her against the wall.

“I’ve missed you,” I say, burying my face in her chest.

Lexi’s fingers run through my hair as I suck on the tops of her breasts.

“Kane, I don’t have a bed anymore,” she murmurs.

I just laugh. “Do you think that will stop me?”

I set Lexi down, and she eagerly kisses me, sucking on my tongue.
