“Please, Kade. Make me come.” Lexie was so far gone she trembled in his arms. He couldn’t leave her hanging on the edge like this either.
He slipped his hand beneath her skirt, coming into contact with a barely there, soaking wet thong. Jesus, he thought, this was the ultimate test of restraint. He slid his fingers over her slick lips and found her clit, rubbing with his thumb.
Her thighs tightened around his hips, and she buried her face in the crook of his neck, riding his hand as he worked one long finger inside her. Her orgasm hit immediately, and she rocked against him, her tight body clasping around him. Leaving him to imagine it wasn’t his finger but his cock that she was milking dry.
He pressed his thumb hard against her clit, letting her ride out her climax until she was spent. He held her afterwards, his hard body protesting every second.
Eventually she relaxed in his arms, and he removed his hand, slid her down, helping her fix her skirt and shift her tight top until she was comfortable.
“I don’t…”
He placed a finger over her lips. The same finger he’d had inside her seconds before. “Don’t. We both needed this.”
“But you didn’t—”
“I got what I needed for now,” he assured her, even if his aching dick disagreed.
She nodded, her cheeks flushed, her hair in complete disarray. She was flustered and so fucking sweet he wanted to devour her all over again.
“Let me take you home,” he said, needing to see her safe.
“But what about Tessa and Becky?” she asked. “Won’t they wonder what happened to me?”
“I guarantee you, Derek and Luke will explain.” Just like he’d have to deal with their shit come morning.
But, Kade thought, thinking back on the last few minutes, he could take whatever they dished out. Because the time with Lexie had been so fucking worth it.

Lexie woke up to a pounding headache and a mixed bag of memories from the night before. What the hell had she been thinking, letting Kade take her outside, climbing him like a jungle gym and… Oh my God, she didn’t want to remember any more. Except her body tingled in all the right places, her sex completely on board with what had happened last night.
She turned and buried her face in the pillow. How was she ever going to face him on Monday? At least he’d told her there was no dry cleaning this weekend so she didn’t have to face him today.
Before she could dwell on that awful possibility, she heard a knock on her bedroom door. Time to face her sister. “Come in!”
Her twin walked in carrying a cup of coffee and set it down on the nightstand. “I heard you come in late last night. I thought you could use a pick-me-up.”
“Bless you,” Lexie said, surprised her sister was being so sweet to her. Lately things had been strained.
Kendall sat down beside her in bed, curling her legs beneath her. “Did you go out and have fun?”
Lexie felt her cheeks burn at the innocent question. “I was with two girls from work. We went to a nightclub and … yeah, I had fun.” More than she’d had in a while.
If she took Kade and the fact that she’d begged him to make her come out of the equation, she’d acted more her age than she’d been able to in years.
Of course, she couldn’t take Kade out of the equation because she thought about him constantly. She’d been drunk early in the evening, but by the time he’d arrived, she’d just been high on life and enjoying herself. When she’d asked him to dance, she’d been trying to get him to do the same. And, of course, to break up the tension from his confrontation with Casey, her dance partner, who she hadn’t been interested in, but he did have the moves and she’d wanted to dance.
But Kade hadn’t been comfortable in the club, something she’d realized too late. He’d been uptight and had barreled for an exit like a man possessed. Once outside, the relief on his face had been apparent. There was more to Kaden Barnes than she could put her finger on. More that she wanted to understand, but after her brazen behavior, she doubted she’d be around long enough to find out anything more.
“What’s wrong?” Kendall asked, watching her over her mug as she took a sip of coffee. “You look worried.”
Lexie narrowed her gaze at her sister’s concern. Not that it wasn’t in character. Deep down, Kendall was a good soul. She just had issues that often took over. Which was why Lexie cherished the times Kendall was … Kendall. Her sweet, caring, fun-loving twin.
Lexie leaned her head back and met Kendall’s gaze. “I’m thinking about my boss. He’s … different.”
“Good different?”
“Sexy different,” she admitted. “But he’s also difficult and demanding and he’s my boss. You don’t mix business with pleasure and still have a job the next day.”
“Is that what you did?” Kendall placed the mug on the nightstand and moved in closer. “Did you sleep with your boss?”
“No!” Lexie was quick to dispel that thought, and she wasn’t going to elaborate on what she had done with Kade.
“You just want to. Got it. What does he look like?” her sister asked.
“His name is Kaden Barnes, and he’s been in the news for his app, Blink. You can Google him later.”
“Oh, I’ve heard of him! He’s rich. Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to think about money?” Kendall said wistfully.
