Prologue

Vance

January 2011

Babysitting my brother’s girl isn’t really how I wanted to spend my Saturday night, but I would do anything for him. He’s been with Tessa forever and plans to marry her after she graduates next year. Tonight is her twenty first birthday, and he asked me to go over to her house since he was going to be late.

I’m already pretty buzzed when I get there, and no, I didn’t drive. I had a friend drop me off. I went out with some friends to watch the game and we drank way to much beer. I’m not feeling the best, but I made a promise to Spencer. I plan on keeping it.

The party appears to be in full swing when I walk through the door. Grabbing a solo cup, I fill it with Jack and Coke from the kitchen, and then start looking for Tessa. When I find her, I know right away she’s trashed.

“It’s about time you got here. Where you been?” She slurs.

Surely she recognizes me and doesn’t think I’m Spencer. She has always been able to tell us apart somehow, but apparently not when she’s drunk.

“Vance, not Spencer,” I tell her while pointing to myself. “Spencer has been trying to call you. He has to work late, but he’ll be here later.”

“All he does is work,” Tessa huffs.

Yeah, well, I can’t tell her that’s he’s working his ass off for her.

Turning up my glass, I drain it and go back to fill it up again, leaving Tessa standing there. The music is blaring and my head begins to pound. A few minutes later, I ask Tessa for something for a headache. She brings me something to take, which I think is generic aspirin.

About an hour later, I’m feeling extremely high and can barely hold my head up. I spot Tessa standing a few feet away from me, and when she looks up, I motion her over the best I can since my body doesn’t seem to doing what my brain is telling it too.

“What?” She asks after she drops down beside me on the couch.

“Not feeling too swift. What did you give me?”

She giggles. Lord knows how Spence puts up with that. Has her laugh always been so annoying?

“I gave you Valium.”

My mouth drops. Although at this point, I’m not sure if it was because I was shocked or because my body isn’t functioning. “What the fuck? Seriously?”

Tessa shrugs. I try to stand up, but don’t make it far on my first attempt, so I try again. The world tilts a little bit, but I have my feet under me on the second try.

“I’ve got to sleep this off. I can’t believe you did that.”

“You can lie down in my room,” Tessa suggests.

She stands to follow me. I shake my head no at her, and she stops and looks like she may pout. I think I’m more wasted than I thought. Why would she be pouting?

“I know the way. Been here with Spence many times. Behave yourself till he gets here.”

I wait for her to nod her head before I make my way to her room. When I get there, I don’t bother to turn on the lights. I close the door, kick off my shoes, and lie down. That’s the last thing I remember, until I hear my brothers voice and the slamming of a door.

Opening my eyes, all I see is darkness. Reaching out to feel around, it doesn’t take me long to figure out I’m not alone when my hand lands on bare skin. I’m pretty sure I didn’t bring anyone in here with me. Also pretty sure I didn’t go to sleep with my pants pulled down to my knees. What the hell did I miss?

“What the hell just happened?” I mumble.

“Spencer.”

I know that voice. Tessa. Reaching over to the night stand, I find the lamp and turn on the light. Fuck! That hurts. When I can open my eyes, I turn my head to face her. My stomach flops. My brother just saw this. Tessa is naked with a sheet clutched in her hands, covering her chest.

“What did you do, Tessa? What about Spencer?”

She only whispers, “He saw us.”

I look at her, waiting for her to explain what in the hell is going on. Because I have no idea what’s she talking about. I have an idea that it’s not going to be good.

“I was…” She trails off looking anywhere but at me.

“You were what?”

“I was trying to wake you up.”

“Naked?!” I ask. “Why are my pants down, Tessa? What were you doing when my fucking brother walked in this room?!”

She still won’t look at me. Lifting the sheet, I’m almost afraid to look down at myself, but when I do, it feels like I was hit in the stomach with a sledge hammer. I have a condom on. Jerking my head up, I glare at her. I could kill her right now.

“Please tell me you didn’t? Please tell me I didn’t just fuck my brother’s girlfriend while I was passed out?”

I watch as tears streak down her face, and she nods her head and then shakes it no. She starts rambling, and I have to strain to hear her. She came in here to check on me, but when she saw me, all she saw was Spencer and she was horny. I cannot believe this shit.

Tessa isn’t done, though, and she continues rambling. She tells me that she sucked me until I was hard, and then put the condom on. Apparently she was just about to ride me when Spencer opened the door. Okay, so I didn’t screw her. Thank God I’m innocent in this. She, however, isn’t innocent in this at all. Especially since she just told me my dick was in her mouth.

I hiss, “Why would you practically rape me, Tessa? Because make no mistake that’s what you were doing. I’d never do anything to hurt Spencer like this. You better make this shit right and tell him. Now.”

Tessa jumps up off the bed and runs out the door. While she’s gone, I dispose of the condom and pull my jeans back up. She comes back through the door while I’m putting on my shoes. When I look up at her, she shakes her head no. FUCK! I have to find my brother and tell him.

Pulling my phone from my pocket, I call my dad to come get me. However, the phone rings and rings until finally voicemail picks up. I leave him a message. “Dad can you come get me from Tessa’s? I have to find Spencer.”

My dad calls me back about ten minutes later, and his words let me know that life as I’ve always known it has just changed. My brother, and my best friend, is gone and all he told them was to ask me. He thinks I did this to him. My dad then tells me he’s on his way.

Ending the call, I don’t even look at Tessa as I tell her what my dad told me. I get up, leaving Tessa standing in the middle of the room. I don’t care that she is crying. This whole situation was her doing, and I hope it eats her up inside. Most of all, though, I hope Spencer will come back.

“Hey, where you going?” Spencer calls from the bathroom.

“I’m heading home,” I reply as he strides toward me a frown on his face.

“You were just going to leave without so much as a goodbye?”

I nod because I don’t know what else to do. He shakes his head slowly as he gets closer to me. I take a step back, not because I’m scared, oh no, I need the door to brace myself. This man has no idea how weak in the knees he makes me.

Spencer stops a breath away from me, placing a hand on each side of my head against the door. “It’s doesn’t work that way, Lexi,” He whispers in my ear. He leans his body against mine, pressing me into the door.

“How does it work then?” My voice is shaky. The affect he has on me is insane.

“Like this.” He says softly before rubbing his whiskered cheek against mine. His lips meet mine, the innocent kiss goodbye turning into a toe curling, knee buckling, thank God this door is holding me up kind of kiss. Ending the sinful kiss, his lips flutter against mine as he whispers; “Now that is how I expect you to say see ya later.”

No words need to be spoken, which is a good thing since I’m pretty speechless right now. I can’t wipe the huge smile off my face as I get into my car and begin heading home.

Prologue:

Spencer

2 years ago…

With today being Tessa’s twenty-second birthday, I thought of the best surprise I could, but it’s not a cheap one. We’ve dated since she was seventeen and it’s about time to take our relationship to the next level. 

Especially with her graduation around the corner, I’m ready to start our lives together.

So, over the last six months, I’ve busted my ass, picking up every minute of overtime I could get my hands on. Engagement rings aren’t cheap and I need enough for that and a down payment on a house.

Her party started at nine and here it is, almost midnight. I’m hoping she’s not trashed, but at least my brother is there to keep an eye on her.

Vance is not only my best friend, he’s also my twin. We are identical in every way, except the fact that he went to a university and I chose community college.

Once Tessa graduated high school, I assumed she’d go to Western, which is pretty close to home. Instead she chose to attend The University of Tennessee. It’s not that far away, but it’s not a drive I want to make daily. The last three and a half years have been harder than I expected, but we beat the odds and stayed together. She comes home at least one weekend a month and the other times, I try to make it out to her.

Pulling up to her house, the blaring music from the celebration inside is reverberating inside my vehicle before I even open my door. Getting out of my truck, I notice some people standing in the side yard. I make my way toward them to see if Tessa or Vance is among them in the crowd. Looking at faces and nodding at the people I know.

Where the hell are they?  I don’t see my future fiancé or my brother outside. 

Once I make my way inside the house, I finally see a familiar face, Missy Cooper, Tessa’s roommate.

“Hey, Missy. Have you seen Tessa?” I ask, and the look she gives me makes my heart beat faster. Whatever she’s about to say, I know I’m not going to like.

“Uh, I saw her going into her bedroom to check on you about an hour ago.” Missy answers looking completely perplexed.

Does she not know I have a twin?

“Thanks Missy, I’ll go find her.” I tell her as I turn to go down the hall to Tessa’s room.

When I get to her door, I don’t knock. Why should I? She’s my girlfriend and he’s my brother. I trust them both and if he’s sick, I’m glad she’s taking care of him.

Opening the door, I see that maybe I should’ve knocked after all. My heart drops to the floor and bile rises in my throat. I swallow it down as anger takes a hold of me.

“WHAT THE FUCK!” Anger and pain consume me. It feels like my heart is ripped from my chest and stomped to oblivion. I can’t fucking believe it. He’s my damn brother for crying out loud!

After a few seconds, Tessa turns to look at me and jumps up, face full of surprise. However, my brother, Vance doesn’t even bother to give me a glance.

Heart racing I turn to go and go now before I do something I will forever regret. He’s my brother. We shared a womb. I can’t physically hurt him, although he just emotionally destroyed me. Why would he fuck my girlfriend? 

The girl he knew that I planned to ask to marry me on Valentines’ Day? Better yet, how could the girl I have spent the last four years with do this to me? 

With my brother?

Slamming her door, I storm out of the house. When I reach my truck I hear Tessa scream my name before I hurry and jump in. I’m so fucking pissed off right now. I know I shouldn’t be driving in my emotional state, but I have to get out of here. Slamming my truck into gear, my tires kick up rocks as I peel out of the driveway, I can hear them as they ping against my truck as I speed away.

My phone rings, but I don’t bother to even look at it. I know it’s who it is. I don’t have anything to say to her after what she did. Vance better hope he doesn’t come home while I’m still there. Either way, I won’t be staying long. 

I’ve got to get away from him, her, this town, and the memories…

Everything.

I pull into my parent’s driveway and gravel flies when I slam on my brakes. 

Wasting no time, I throw open the front door and head straight to my room.

Grabbing a duffel bag from my closet, I start throwing clothes in before going into the bathroom and gathering up all the toiletries I will need. When I walk back down the hallway, my parents’ bedroom door opens.

“Spencer, what are you doing?” My mom asks as she looks at my arms full of supplies.

“I’m packing, Mom.” I snap.

“Are you going to stay with Tessa?”

I clench my jaw and take a deep breath before answering. Just hearing her name makes me want to punch something.

“Tessa and I are over. I’m leaving town, Mom, and I don’t know when, or if I’ll be back.”

Tears fill my mom’s eyes. She loves Tessa, she has since the day she met her four years ago. When she finds out what happened tonight, she’s going to be devastated.

“Why, what happened?” She asks as she wraps her arms around herself, tears trailing down her cheeks.

There’s hurt and confusion all over my mom’s face. She has no idea what happened tonight and I can’t tell her. It’s too fresh on my mind, and my heart feels like it’s stopped beating inside my chest.

“Ask Vance.”

Tears fill my own eyes. Not only did I lose the girl I love tonight, I also lost my best friend and brother. My mom strolls away and her muted voice can be heard as she wakes my dad. I have to go before they try to talk me into staying. When I get back into my room I throw everything in my bag and zip it up. Throwing it over my shoulder, I grab my work boots and tennis shoes and start back toward the hall.

When I get to the front door, my dad’s voice stops me. “Son, I’m not sure what happened tonight, but whatever it is we can work it out.”

“This can’t be worked out, Dad. I love you and Mom. I’ll call you when I get wherever I’m going.” Not waiting for their reply, I open the door and storm to my truck.

I’m not sure where I’m going. I just know “here” isn’t where I belong anymore.

Chapter Seven

Spencer

The days passed slowly as I followed the same routine. Work, eat, sleep, and never talking to Lexi. I’ve been pretty quiet, keeping busy, and trying not to think about anything. By Thursday, Tucker was asking me what was up with me. I tried to blow it off as nothing, except being tired, but of course he wasn’t buying it. Finally I cave and tell him as much as I’m willing to share about the weekend, up until I woke up alone Monday morning. 
“Do you like her?” he asks me curiously.
“Yeah, maybe a little too much,” I respond while going about cleaning the tools I used today. 
“There’s no such thing as too much. Look man, I know there’s something holding you back. You haven’t had any relationships for as long as I’ve known you. Whatever it is, you can trust me. Talk to me if you want. Or if you’d rather, talk to Lexi. Either way you need to talk to someone about what’s really bothering you. Just be honest with her. What do you have to lose?”
That’s easy… my heart. I don’t tell him that though. 
“Thanks Tucker, I’ll keep that in mind.” 
What he doesn’t know is, I’m still not ready to talk about what landed me here in this place two years ago. I wish I could erase it from my mind and move on. 
“You wanna ride down with us to graduation on Saturday?” Tucker asks.
Do I?  At least I would see Lexi again, and maybe if I’m lucky she will talk to me. Yes, I think I will go. It’s time that I man up and face her and hope she doesn’t hate me. 
“Yeah man, that sounds good.”
Before I know it, it’s Saturday and I’m standing here with Brenna, Tucker and both their families. I scan the crowd looking for the one person I really want to see. When I spot her, I begin walking straight for her. 
She looks beautiful in her cap and gown. I think she would be beautiful in anything. She doesn’t smile at me as I approach, but she doesn’t take her eyes off me either.  
“I’m sorry.” I say as I step in front of her. 
“For what?”
“For not calling you all week. It was a dick move and well… I’m sorry. How ‘bout we start over?”
Lexi looks away and stares off into the distance for a moment before she turns back to me holding out her hand.
“Hi, I’m Alexia Allen, my friends call me Lexi.” She smiles as my hand takes hers.
“Nice to meet you Lexi, I’m Spencer Jacobs. My friends call me Spence.”
Lexi leans around me and grins at whoever is standing behind me. Curious, I turn around and see a man and woman I’ve never seen before, Lexi squeals and throws herself in the man’s arms. When he releases her, she hugs the woman. The man is looking at me curiously, but before I can introduce myself, Lexi speaks.
“Spencer these old people here are my mom and dad, Sam and Alice Allen,” She laughs as her parents both scowl at her.
I extend my hand to shake her dad’s and then her mom’s, that’s the polite thing to do, right? 
“It’s nice to meet you both.”
Her parents are both looking between Lexi and me, like their trying to figure out if there is more there than just friends. I’m really hoping they didn’t hear our conversation and put it all together. Her dad may be older than me, but he’s a big ole dude, I’m not thinking I can take him if it came down to that. 
“Do you go to school here too, Spencer?” Her mom asks.
“No ma’am, I went to community college in Bowling Green.”
“Then how did you two meet?” Her dad asks while raising a brow at Lexi who was about to answer. I haven’t been questioned by a girl’s dad in six years and it’s not any easier now, than it was back then.
“We met through Brenna. She’s engaged to my boss and good friend, Tucker Wade.” 
“Brenna’s getting married?” Her mom asks Lexi. 
“Yes, and to her childhood best friend. They are so sweet together, Mama. Just wait till you see them together.” She answers while pulling out her phone and texting someone. 
“He better be good to her, Brenna’s a good girl. I’d hate for someone to hurt one of my girls.” Her dad says while looking right at me. I’m thinking maybe I have ‘I slept with your daughter and didn’t call her for five days’ written across my forehead. 
I am just about to defend my best friend, when he and Brenna walk up. Brenna introduces Tucker and his parents to Lexi and her parents. I feel like I have been issued a stay of execution by the governor when Sam Allen’s focus is directed to Tucker. 
When it’s time for graduation to begin, we all take our seats. Hours pass as they hand out diplomas. Who knew college graduation would take so long. My ass is numb and Lexi’s dad keeps looking over at me. He makes me a little nervous for some reason. Needing to get some air and get away, I get up and go in search of a bathroom. When I come out Lexi’s dad is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed waiting for me.
“I guess you are wondering why I keep looking at you and followed you.” He asks me.
“Yes sir, I am a little curious.” I answer him truthfully.
He looks at me a moment longer before he answers, “Lexi is my baby and I saw the way you were looking at each other. Something didn’t make sense to me though. When she introduced you as her “friend” you didn’t correct her.”
“Lexi and I just met last Friday, Sir, she and I are just friends at the moment.” There that wasn’t so bad. 
“At the moment, what exactly does that mean?”
“I really like Lexi, but I’m not looking for more than friends at this point. We are getting to know each other, and well, to be honest Sir, maybe one day Lexi and I could have more.”
Mr. Allen looks at me for a moment before nodding, straightening up off the wall and stepping toward me. 
“You’re honest, I like that. Be good to my girl Spencer, that’s all I ask. She’s never shown interest in a boy before now, so don’t break my baby’s heart.” He says as he pats my shoulder and begins to walk away. 
I follow behind him and take my seat to watch Lexi graduate. Once it’s over, we all meet up at a restaurant and eat dinner together. It is relaxed and something I could get used to. I may have left my family behind, but I think I have found a new one. One of these days, maybe my family can be here with us like this. Until then, I am content right where I am. 

Lexi

Today is all about closing one chapter and beginning another. Spencer and I are starting fresh and I graduated from college. Now all of us are sitting around a table having a great time. Tucker’s dad and Brenna’s grandpa are a hoot. You can tell they’ve known each other for a long time. My dad, Tucker, and Spencer are right there with them laughing and telling jokes. Caroline and Anna have been talking quietly with Brenna about the secret wedding I suppose. 
My mom is sitting next to me taking it all in, just like me. I could get used to this, maybe one day Spencer’s family will be joining us too. Yeah, I’m thinking ahead and I can’t help it. Even though we are just friends right now, I want more. 
“He’s very handsome.” My mom says quietly beside me. 
“Who?” 
“Well both of them are actually, but I was referring to Spencer.” 
I turn in my chair to look at my mom, who is looking at me like she knows exactly what I’m thinking. 
How do moms do that? 
“Yes he is,” I reply to her while turning back around to continue watching everyone. 
Well, maybe not everyone. I am really only watching one right now. He must feel my eyes on him because he turns to grin at me. It’s obvious he knows I’d been watching him. He winks at me then turns his attention back to the men. 
“Interesting.” Mama mutters beside me. 
“What’s interesting?” 
“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe the way you two look at each other, but yet you’re only friends. Or the fact that your cheeks are flushed from just one little smile and wink from him. I’ve never seen you have this reaction before.”
No, she hasn’t, because I’ve never met anyone that affected me the way Spencer does. Mama knows that I am holding out for the right guy for me. I want what she and dad have and Brenna and Tucker. I don’t want a man to love me for a little while with only half of his heart. I want his whole heart, with no memories of past ghosts haunting him. I will not share him with anyone, past or present. I’m greedy like that. 
“If you want him Lexi, then fight for him. Help him heal. Open your heart to him. Show him how it is to really be loved.” 
“I don’t even know what happened to him.” 
“Well then, Alexia, I suggest you figure it out.” She never uses my real name, unless she means business. “Trust me, it may be a bumpy ride but the end result will make it all worthwhile.”
“Thanks Mama.” I say to the woman who has always had my best interest at heart. She smiles and pats my hand as I lean over and place a kiss on her cheek. 
When we’re all leaving the restaurant I overhear Tucker and Brenna invite my parents to their house tomorrow. I had totally forgotten that my parents were leaving for Florida tomorrow, for the next two weeks. They had asked me to go with them, without Drew here though and not able to go with us, I told them no. The two of them need this time to themselves. 
Mom and Dad hug and kiss my cheek before they get into their car to head back home. I feel Spencer behind me before he speaks.
“You going to Brenna’s tomorrow?” He asks.
“I was planning on it. You?”
“With free food? Of course I’m going.” He says with a grin. 
“Are you riding back with them?” 
“Depends.” 
“On what?” I ask with a raised brow.
 “On whether you’ll let me sleep on your couch tonight.”  
I smile and nod at him before he walks over to Brenna’s Xterra, pulling out his bag and talking to Tucker who grins at me. He came prepared, just in case. This makes me smile that much more. Hope blooms in my chest, as I watch him walk back toward me. We say our goodbye’s to everyone before getting in my car and heading toward my apartment. Maybe I can get him to open up a little tonight. I need something to work with.

A little Lexi and Spencer

Since Feisty Girls Book Blog is sending me love today and telling me their ready for Spencer and Lexi, I decided I would give y'all a little something. Let's see what these two are up too...

This exceprt is unedited and subject to changes... It's also for 18 & UP!!

~ Lexi ~

I know I’m alone in my bed before I ever open my eyes. Spencer’s warmth is gone. Cracking my eyes open, I look around my bedroom and see he’s not in here at all. I throw back the covers and get out of my bed to go in search of him. As soon as I step into the hallway, I hear the shower running.  I need to pee really bad and brush my teeth. I wonder what he’d think if I just walked in there and took care of business? Hmmm… What to do?  I step up to the bathroom door and try the knob and find that he left it unlocked. 

Stepping through the door, steam assaults me, and the sound of the water is definitely not helping my bladder at all. Quickly taking care of business, I flush the toilet, grab my toothbrush, and spread the toothpaste on it before turning on the faucet.

“Fuck!” Spencer hollers before pulling the curtain back enough to glare at me. 

I shrug at him and grin around my toothbrush. Leaning my butt against the vanity and staring at the shower curtain. Damn, I should’ve gone with a clear one. 

When I finish brushing, I begin to rinse the sink out, grinning the whole time, before I flush the toilet again just to see if he’ll throw the curtain open all the way this time. 

“Dammit, Lexi, are you trying to scald me?” He yells again.

Reaching out I grab the shower curtain and jerk it back. “What?” I ask with as much innocence as I can muster. 

“Did you really need to flush twice?” 

Spencer doesn’t bother to hide himself from me and I take full advantage of seeing his wet, naked body all at once. Holy mother trucker he is one fine piece of male specimen. I want to lick him from his perfectly chiseled face all the way down his body. 

My eyes leave his face and begin their journey across his broad shoulders, to his muscular arms, across his chest, then down his defined abs, before finally settling on that damn sexy v. My eyes follow the trail of hair down to his very impressive, thick cock that is swelling before my eyes. Yum, he manscapes.  Letting my eyes linger a little longer than necessary, I hear a groan from Spencer that snaps me out of my trance and continue my journey the rest of the way down his body. His legs are just like I thought they would be, all muscle. A good strong foundation to hold up all his sexiness. 

Oh yes, my eyes need to see all this in reverse. 

When I reach his face again, his eyes are burning with desire and his jaw is so tight I think he may break it. I grin at him then reach for the shower curtain again and begin to slowly pull it back closed. When there is just enough room for him to still see my face, I give him a wink and close it the rest of the way.

 “Too bad you wanted to start all over at the beginning, or we could totally save water.” I say before opening the door and stepping back into the hallway. I’m pretty sure he growled at me right as the door clicked shut.

When I go to sit on the end opposite him, he reaches out and gently grasps my wrist pulling me down beside him, causing my heart to start fluttering in my chest. I feel his hand on my ponytail pulling the holder out and dropping it in my lap. Then his fingers are gently running through my hair.

“So what happens after you graduate?” he asks while looking straight in my eyes.

“I’m not sure yet. I could teach art or try the sell my work.” I shrug because I have no idea what I want to do yet.

“Have you ever showed your work?”

“I will be this summer. I’m going to an art show in Tennessee.”

“Sounds like fun.” He replies.

His body tenses just enough for me to notice, and then his hand tightens in my hair, slightly tugging it. I have to take a deep breath just to hold in the groan that wants to come out.

“You could go with me, if you want.”

“Maybe.”

Well that’s better than a no.

That was also the end of our conversation. Spencer used his grip in my hair to turn my head to face him. Our mouths meet and it wasn’t a sweet “hi, nice to meet you” kiss. It was a “I want you naked now” kinda kiss.
Before I know what I am doing, I am straddling his waist with my hands on each side of his head.

He doesn’t release my hair as he devours my mouth. His other hand is running down my back to my hip and back up. We kiss for what feels like hours and I’m crazy with desire. I feel his hand slip under the waist band of my pants and grip one bare butt cheek. Spencer groans and then his mouth leaves mine and my head is pulled back exposing my neck to him.
Spencer runs his tongue down my throat to my collar bone. He pulls my lower body closer to his connecting our centers together, and now it’s me that’s groaning. I press closer to him and began to rock my hips against him. He squeezes my ass hard again, before taking his hand to push up my shirt and expose my breasts to him. He fondles one breast in his hand while taking the nipple of the other in his mouth. I am about to come just from this.

“Spencer,” I pant out his name, my breath is seriously short right now. I’m surprised I got that much out.

“Yeah?” He says against my breast as he runs his tongue around my nipple.

“More.”

That’s it, that’s all I can say. I feel so needy and know he’s the only one that can put out this fire he’s started. I let go of his head and start tugging at his shirt, I want to feel his skin against mine. He releases me long enough to get it over his head. We probably shouldn’t be doing this yet, but damn I can’t seem to stop. I want more; I need more.  I stand up and kick off my shoes and push my yoga pants down, leaving me in nothing but my thong. Spencer stands up in front of me looking down, his eyes searching mine. I guess whatever he found there was enough for him. He kisses me hard and deep and the next thing I know I’m hoisted over his shoulder and he’s moving, hopefully heading toward his bedroom.
