“Sounds okay. Anything else?” He stared at me apprehensively. I wondered why he was dressed so nicely, in a denim button up and khakis.
“No…why are you dressed like that, man?” I screwed up my face as I stared at him. He laughed. I leaned back against the other counter as I looked across the room at him.
“I had a meeting with the lawyer.”
“Something up?”
“Nah,” he shook his head, “just some clerical shit. Had to re-file pretty much everything. But it’s all squared away now.” He must have been tired, because he wasn’t hiding his accent as much. It’s still there, and he loves to use it on the ladies, but sometimes it is thicker than others.
“Got it. So, today is Alexa’s first day.” I stated. He cracked a smile but didn’t let it reach his eyes.
“Yep. She will be fine though, it’s not her first go.”
“I didn’t think you would hire someone who wasn’t qualified. No matter how hot.” I cocked my brow.
“Of course not. We just…got lucky.”
I nodded. “Joshua already had his go. Won’t stop talking about it.” I moved into the fridge to grab a beer and then passed one to Kellan.
“Thanks. Yeah, I heard.”
I couldn’t read his expression. He swigged his beer and I did the same.
“You mad about that?” I asked.
I wasn’t even sure if I was mad. Did I want her? Fuck yeah. And I don’t mind sharing…it’s more of a turn on. Maybe it gets complicated, but we’re adults. If the bridge builds, we will cross it then.
“No, not necessarily. She’s a fine piece of ass, but…”
“But what?” I pressed. He just shook his head and kept drinking his beer.
“Nothing, man. You get back to work, and uh…no fried pickles.” He chuckled, but it was halfhearted. And then he left.
“Weird.” I murmured.
A few hours later, the rest of the staff showed up and orders started coming in, but the floor wasn’t full yet at all. I looked at the employee chart on the computer, it was seven sharp so Alexa should be here. I smirked to myself and finished up the new recipe. Cheese fries. Everyone goes fucking crazy for cheese.
I looked over the food tray, trying to find Alexa. I smirked, and my hard on tightened when I found her reaching up high to grab something on the top shelf. I grinned, grabbed a plate of the cheese fries, and walked over to help her. She looked mighty fine in her tight jeans, ripped on the front and back a little bit. The company shirt fit her slender waist like a glove, her midriff was exposed. She had those sexy dimples above her ass cheeks, my tongue pressed against the roof of my mouth, imagining tasting her.
“Need some help?” I announced myself. She jumped slightly as she turned to face me, and it made her breasts swell against her shirt. I was glad no one was at the bar yet.
“Uh, no, I was just looking.” She smiled nervously. She looked beautiful, with the sun coming in behind her, it lit her long blonde locks up like liquid gold. “Austin, right?”
I set the plate down. “Yeah. You’re Alexa.” I looked at her from head to toe, making sure she knew I was checking her out. When I met her eyes again, they were wide and hungry. I knew it.
She was wild.
“Yeah…are those cheese fries?” Her eyes drifted over to the plate with a smile. See? Everyone loves cheese.
“Yeah. New recipe.” I explained.
“Can I try it?” She reached for the plate, but I took her hand instead. That wrench tightened between us as her eyes met mine, shocked at first, but then she saw I wasn’t angry or anything.
With her left hand in mine, I used the other to pick up a smothered fry. I pulled her close to me, I was over a foot taller than her so she had to look up; and then I fed her the fry, watching her tongue lap over it. She went farther and took the tips of my fingers in her mouth, sucking slightly. I felt it right in my groin.
“Good?” My voice was gravelly. She chewed slowly and smiled.
“Amazing.” She whispered.
