My heart dropped a bit because her mouth was saying one thing, but her eyes were saying something totally different.
“Listen, Courtney. Reed is my best friend, and Mitch is a friend as well. I don’t want to see either of them hurt. Just be sure you’re not running into Mitch’s arms to avoid your feelings for Reed. Reed is probably one of the nicest guys I know. He would never purposely hurt you, and I know he would love you one hundred and ten percent. Mitch just might not be the safer choice, sweetheart. He seems like it now, but—”
She was just about to say something when we heard Whitley coming down the stairs. I could hear her shoes on the hardwood floor.
“Hey,” her sweet voice said from behind me.
I slowly turned around, and all the air in my lungs was immediately gone.
Her brown hair was pulled up and piled into loose curls on top of her head. My eyes moved down to her neck where she was wearing a small delicate necklace. My dick instantly got hard from thinking about kissing her exposed neck. I looked down at her beautiful red chiffon evening gown, fitting her curves perfectly. I couldn’t believe how beautiful she looked.
I went to open my mouth, but I had to shut it again. Courtney let out a giggle, and Whitley smiled.
“Do you like it?” she asked with the cutest damn smile on her face.
“Um,” was all I could get out.
“It’s Court’s dress. It’s a mermaid gown with a sweetheart neckline. I’ve always wanted to wear it!” she said with a nervous laugh.
“Whitley, you look…” I had to clear my throat before I continued. “My God, you look stunning, sweetheart. ” I looked down into her eyes.
The blush spreading across her face made my dick even harder.
Fuck dinner. I just want to take her home and make love to her all night.
She slowly made her way over to me and used her finger to gesture for me to move closer to her. As I moved my ear closer to her mouth, I felt her hot, sweet breath.
“I can’t wait for you to take me out of this dress. I have a surprise for you underneath it. ”
I pulled my head back and looked at her. I couldn’t even think straight. “Ah…excuse me for one moment, ladies. ” I stepped around Whitley and Courtney and made my way out the front door.
I took a few deep breaths to calm down my racing heart. “Damn the things that girl does to me. ”
I pulled out my phone and made my first of two phone calls.
Chapter Twenty-One: Whitley
I stood there and watched as Layton made his way out onto the front porch.
“Jesus, Whit! What in the hell did you say to that poor boy?” Courtney said with a laugh.
I shrugged my shoulders. “I just told him that I had a surprise underneath the dress, and I couldn’t wait for him to take it off and see it. ” I turned and looked back at Court.
Courtney started laughing. “Way to give the poor guy a hard-on right at the very beginning of the night!”
I covered my mouth up with my hands and started shaking my head. I felt my face turning hotter. “My God, Courtney, this is all your fault!”
Courtney’s face dropped, and she just looked at me with a stunned expression. “What? What’s all my fault? That you finally discovered your own sexuality? That you’re actually able to wear a sexy dress and have a man appreciate it? He couldn’t pull his eyes away from you, girl!”
“You turned me into a horny bitch, Court! It’s that damn book’s fault…and that stupid vibrator you gave me. Do you know I had a dream about Layton last night, and I had to take that damn thing out? I closed my eyes and thought about him the whole time while I used a stupid vibrator to have an orgasm!”
The smile spreading across Courtney’s face instantly told me that Layton was behind me. I glanced over my shoulder and saw him standing there with his mouth hanging open.
“Ah…I think I need to take a cold shower before we leave. ”
Oh. My. God. Where is the hole for me to crawl into?
Courtney walked right up to me and smiled. “Oh, the power of a good erotica book!”
