“Toss in one of the twisted churros from the food court,” the lady scanning our items whispers loudly to Asher.
“Twisted churro and one of the frozen lattes,” he offers, dipping his head and giving me a charming smile. A dimple appears in his left cheek, and it’s practically the nail in the coffin.
I’m so done for.
Chapter Eight
Asher
“I had a lot of fun tonight,” I admit as Lexi and I walk toward her dorm on campus.
“It was really nice of you to walk me back.” She smiles down at the bags of snacks in my hands. “And to carry my stuff.”
“You’re only getting part of it so you have to come back to my place.”
“You’re basically holding me hostage with food.” She pretends to think it over. “I can respect that.”
After we left Costco, we went back to my place, and I showed her my house. It’s similar enough to Sam and Parker’s house, but she was cute as she looked in closets and bathrooms while I gave her the tour. She asked a ton of questions, and I like that she was so curious, and I did everything in my power to keep my hands to myself. There were times that I held her hand or gave her a hug, but other than that, I tried to be good. Lexi is so fucking special and the more I’m with her, the more I know I don’t want to fuck this up.
We ended up watching a movie and having dinner on the floor of my living room because I don’t have much furniture. She teased me about buying a couch, and I almost took her with me to do it right then. If she didn’t look so cute stretched out and laughing at the romantic comedy we were watching, I probably would have done it.
After the movie was over, Lexi looked like she was going to fall asleep. All I wanted to do was carry her to my bed and tuck her in, but she told me she has class early in the morning, and I wasn’t sure I trusted myself to sleep next to her and not keep her up all night.
“So this is you?” I ask as she scans her card and I follow in after her.
“This is me.” She looks shy as we make our way to her door, and I wonder if she’s ever bought a guy here before. The thought makes me so fucking jealous I clench my fists around the snack bag a little tighter.
She opens the door, and I’m surprised at how spacious it is. “You didn’t get assigned another roommate after Parker moved out?”
Lexi tosses her stuff on the little table by the door. “I didn’t exactly advertise that I was alone.” She smiles as she waves a hand around. “So this palace is all mine, and I think I might have more furniture than you do.”
“I think you’re probably right.”
It’s then I see the gaming set-up in the corner and think about earlier today. God, was it only this morning that I was seeing her on the live stream?
“Do you make videos?” I ask, trying my best to sound cool as I put the snacks on Parker’s empty bed and walk over towards it.
“Yeah, a little.” She’s being modest because I saw how many people watch her.
“Are you any good?” I poke a little more to see if she’ll brag on herself.
“I’m okay. Do you play anything?” She’s trying to take the attention off herself, and it’s adorable.
“Nothing. Maybe you could teach me sometime.” I step a little closer to her, and in this small space, it suddenly feels warm.
“It will cost you.” I’m so close she has to tilt her head back to look up at me, but she’s got a challenging sparkle in her eyes.
“Name your price.” I lean down, and I wonder how I’ve been able to resist her before now. I thought by being in her presence I would learn to control myself, but the closer I get, the more I can’t control shit.
“You can’t afford it.” The words remind me of one of the comments on her chat earlier today, and I feel a growl in the back of my throat as I take a step toward her.
“You’d be surprised what I can afford, little rabbit.”
She takes a step back, but my feet keep moving closer until she bumps into the wall behind her and I’m caging her in. She swallows hard and puts her hands on my chest as she looks up at me.
“How much would you give me?”
My head lowers until my lips are almost touching hers. “For a taste of you?” I feel her warm breath against my skin, and I’m so fucking hard it hurts. “All of it.”
I’m not sure who moves first, but I’m on her in a split second. I moan as she opens her mouth and I slide my tongue in for a taste. My hands go to her ass, and I pull her against my body so she can feel just how hard I am, how fucking badly I want her.
