“That’s a hot ass. I’d tap that.”
I frown at him, and it doesn’t escape either of our attention that I don’t like him talking about Willow like that.
Raising an eyebrow at me, he says, “Don’t tell me you actually like her.”
“She’s Evie’s friend which means she’s off limits,” I growl before I down some beer. Fuck, this is crazy. She’s just another piece of ass. I’ve barely spoken to her once, and it was enough for her to get under my skin.
Rhett sits down on the arm of the couch and follows our line of sight.
“Why are you looking at Evie?” He sounds pissed-off, which makes me tear my eyes away from Willow.
“We’re not. I’m looking at Willow and Jaxson is…” I glance at Jaxson. “Fuck if I know who he’s looking at.”
“I’m watching Marcus drool over Willow. It’s fun. His facial expressions go from annoyed to lovesick in a matter of seconds.”
“Oh yeah?” Rhett grins as he looks from me to Willow and back to me again.
“Fuck off,” I growl. Just as I find Willow again, Evie grabs her hand and walks in our direction.
“When are you going to admit that you like Evie?” I ask so I can divert the attention away from me before the girls reach us.
“Never.” The word sounds more like a growl as if he’s trying to convince himself that Evie is off limits.
“Why?” Jaxson asks the question we’ve all been dying to have answered.
“We don’t fuck our friends.” Rhett stands just as the girls reach us. He leans into Evie and kisses her cheek as if she’s his fucking sister. “Hey, Babe. Are you having a good time?”
“Yeah.” She smiles up at Rhett as she takes his drink from his hand. I watch as Rhett’s eyes zero in on Evie’s mouth while she takes a sip.
Fuck, I hope I don’t look that pussy whipped when I look at Willow.
Jaxson gets up. “Have a seat,” he says to Willow, and I shoot him a fuck you glare as she sits down next to me. She presses herself against the arm of the chair, leaving enough space between us for Jaxson to sit down again. She doesn’t even look at me.
“I’m Jaxson,” he introduces himself to Willow.
“I’m Willow. It’s nice to meet you,” she has to lean forward so Jaxson can hear her.
“Willow is one of the girls who moved in with me,” Evie explains.
I lean back into the couch, not liking that at all. It means we’ll be seeing a lot of Willow. So much for avoiding her.
“Can I get you ladies anything to drink?” Jaxson asks.
“I’ll have whatever Rhett’s having,” Evie says.
“Nothing for me. Thanks,” Willow murmurs, making it hard to hear her over all the noise in the room.
She glances up at Jaxson and offers him a smile which makes me frown again. I don’t want her smiling at my best friend. As she looks down, she catches me staring at her. Fuck, she has gorgeous brown eyes. She’s the whole package – sinful body, breathtaking face – but those eyes? It feels as if they can see right into my soul. They’re very expressive, and right now they’re sizing me up as if she’s trying to figure out if I’m a nice guy or bad news.
I lean over to her, and when her body stiffens, I smirk. “There’s nothing nice about me, babe. Unless you’re ready to head up to my room, so you can impress me with your mouth on my cock, stop eye-fucking me.”
I glance away, staring blankly at the dancing bodies in front of us. I can feel her eyes burning on me for a moment longer.
“I’m going to go dance some more,” Willow says as she stands abruptly. “You coming, Evie?”
“Yeah, definitely,” Evie says, taking one last sip of Rhett’s drink.
I watch as Willow and Evie walk back to the middle of the dance floor, thinking I better find someone else to take up to my room and fuck before I do something stupid.
