Without You (44 page)

Grace glanced over and winked at me. “Shall we, ladies?”

Maegan did a little jump, and she was the first one down the stairs. Of course she looked like a knockout in a pair of black sheer pants and an almost see-through white blouse. Only Maegan could make wearing dress pants look hotter than hell.

As we made our way down the stairs, I could hear Will, Luke, and Colt talking. I didn’t know whose face I wanted to see more.

I walked down second, and when Will saw me, his mouth dropped open. I loved that I had such an effect on him. I knew he was now regretting the decision not to stay here tonight.

Libby was right behind me, so I quickly looked at Luke.

I couldn’t help but giggle when I saw my cousin’s mouth about drop to the ground.

He swallowed hard and said, “Jesus, Libby, you look beautiful.”

I glanced over my shoulder to see Libby smiling slightly at Luke.

She said, “Thank you, Luke.”

Then, Colt said, “Holy hell.”

I looked and watched Lauren making her way down the stairs, followed by Taylor, and Grace.

“Okay, we’re ready to go.” Grace made her way to the front door.

Libby turned to follow.

Luke let out a gasp. “Oh. Hell. No.”

Grace and Libby turned and looked at Luke.

“Excuse me?” Grace attempted to hold back her smile.

“Libby, you’re not wearing that. It…it goes down…I mean, it’s…”

Libby tilted her head and looked at Luke. “What’s wrong with this dress?”

Will walked over to Libby. “What’s wrong with it? Libby, one more inch, and your damn ass is going to be showing. You need to change.”

“Yes! You totally need to change. No way you’re going out in that dress,” Luke said.

Grace crossed her arms, and Libby’s mouth dropped open as she looked at Will, then Luke, and back to Will. I couldn’t help but giggle. Not only did she have her brother being overprotective, but she also had Luke.

“It’s just like high school all over again. The big brother and the best friend being overprotective of Libby,” Maegan said, walking by Grace and Libby. She opened the door to the garage. “Last I checked, she was over eighteen, Will, and she isn’t your girlfriend, Luke.” Maegan looked over her shoulder at Luke and made a face. “So, she’s free to dress however she sees fit.”

I glanced over at Libby as she looked at Will and Luke.

“That’s right. I’m a”—she glared at Luke—“single woman, who is ready to have some fun.”

She turned and followed Grace, Maegan, Taylor, and Lauren out the door.

Colt walked up to me and took me by the arm. “Alex, you can’t let Lauren go out, looking like that. And did you see how Taylor was dressed? And what in the hell are you wearing?”

I smiled at Colt and gently removed his hand. I took a few steps back and smiled at three of the most important men in my life.

“I love all three of you, so I’m gonna keep it real. Two of you have your heads up your ass.” I looked at Colt. “Stop letting Lauren push you away.” I turned to Luke. “Stop pushing Libby away, you ass. Now, pull out the romantic shit that I know both of you have and do something about it. Frankly, I’m sick and tired of seeing the two of you mope around because you’re both too damn afraid.”

Will was smiling from ear to ear. “God, I love you.” He walked up and took me in his arms.

He kissed me as Colt walked by.

“She’s still my sister, you prick. Get your hand off her ass,” Colt said.

When Will pulled his lips from mine, he smiled. “You have no idea how turned-on I am right now.”

“Oh, Jesus H. Christ. Get a room,” Luke said as he pulled Will away from me.

Luke took my arm and led me outside. I giggled as I looked back at Will.

This is going to be one very long evening.

After eating dinner at an Italian restaurant in Corpus, we headed to a dance club. I glanced over to the dance floor and saw all the girls dancing. They had pretty much been just dancing together in their little group since we got here.

Luke and Colt were talking about an idea Colt had for logging in the vaccinations for the cattle. I was just about to give my input when Luke quickly stood up.

“What is she doing?”

I looked out at the dance floor and scanned for the girls. I saw them all dancing…except for Libby. I quickly looked around for her and saw her dancing with some guy. He was about five-eleven and built like a son of a bitch, and he had my sister a little too close to him as they danced.

I stood up almost immediately. “Why is she…what in the hell is she…he needs to get his hands off my sister.”

Luke went to walk out the dance floor when Colt jumped up and stopped him.

“You’re just going to get her pissed at you. She’s not your girlfriend, Luke. Will, she’s an adult woman. We can’t keep beating up every guy who looks at her wrong.”

Luke’s whole body sank. I turned and looked back out at my sister dancing. She was clearly dancing with the guy on her own free will, and I knew Colt was right. I sat back down and glanced over to where Lex was. She was still dancing but looking directly at me. She gave me a thumbs-up and smiled. I shook my head and smiled back as I got up and walked up to her. I pulled her body close to mine and began moving my hands up and down her body.

“God, I want you right now,” I whispered as I moved my lips to her ear.

“Yes,” she whispered back. “Now, Will. Please take me now.”

I quickly looked around. If I didn’t sink my dick into her soon, I was going to explode. I grabbed her hand and began walking us to the door.

“Where are we going?” Lex shouted over the music.

“To the truck,” I shouted back.

The bouncer asked if we were coming back into the club, and I nodded my head. He stamped our hands, and as soon as we hit the cool night air, I reached down and picked her up. She let out a small scream.

“Will, everyone is going to wonder where we went,” Lex said with a giggle.

I walked up to the truck and looked around as I put her down. My dick was literally throbbing. I needed her that much. Luke’s truck was pretty much hiding us.

“I don’t care, Lex. The only thing I care about right now is getting your panties off and fucking you against my truck.”

She let out a gasp and then licked her lips. “Here? Right now?”

I smiled. “Does that turn you on more, Lex?”

She looked around before looking back at me. “You don’t have to worry about getting my panties off. I’m not wearing any.”

I let out a moan. “You have no idea what you do to me.” I began unzipping my jeans, and I let myself spring free.

“Yes. Will, please hurry. I need relief.”

I looked around once more before pushing her dress up and spreading her legs apart. One touch of her lips, and I knew how turned-on she was.

“I want you, Lex.”

“Oh God, Will. I want you, too.”

I trailed my fingers along her lips as she let out a moan and pushed her hips toward me. I slowly slipped two fingers in as I used my other hand to grab her breast. Lex dropped her head back against my truck and whimpered as she began moving her hips against my hand to gain more friction. I slowly pulled my fingers out, and Lex snapped her head forward and looked at me.

“Will, goddamn it.”

I smiled. I loved seeing Lex like this. I looked around the parking lot one more time before I lifted her up and slowly sank my dick inside her.

“Yes,” she hissed as we both began moving. “Faster. I don’t want to get arrested.”

I stopped moving, and she looked at me.

“Don’t stop! Oh God, I’m so close.”

I began going faster as Lex placed her hands on my shoulders and started moving along with me. It didn’t take long for her to start moaning as she dropped her head back.

“I’m coming,” she panted.

I felt her pulsing around my dick. I pulled out and slammed back into her, causing her to let out a gasp.

“Oh God, Lex. I’m coming. Baby, I love you.” I buried my face into her neck as I poured everything I had into her.

I stood there for a few seconds and just held her while I caught my breath.

“Are you done?” she whispered.

“May I enjoy this hotter-than-hot moment for just a second?” I asked as I kept my face buried in her neck.

She hit me and said, “No! Put me down.”

I let out a giggle as I pulled out of her. I opened the back door of my truck. I got a paper towel out and quickly cleaned her off. I pulled her dress down, and she slammed her lips to mine. I pulled her body closer to mine, and if I didn’t know any better, I would swear my dick was coming up again.

She slowly pulled her lips from mine. “That. Was. Amazing.”

I grinned and wiggled my eyebrows up and down. “Luke was right. Public sex is hot as hell.”

Lex frowned but then smiled again. “I thought you were bringing me out to your truck. I wasn’t expecting that. I was waiting to get caught.”

I placed my hand on the side of her face. “You make me mad for you, Lex. My body is taken over by you, and I just can’t control myself, especially when you look so incredibly hot.”

Even though it was dark, I could see her face blush slightly.

I zipped up my pants and grabbed her hand. “We’d better get back before they go searching for us.”

We walked back into the dance club and made our way over to the table. Luke was talking to Colt, and it seemed like a heated conversation.

“Oh Lord,” Lex said.

I turned and followed her gaze. Lauren was dancing with someone. I rolled my eyes.

“Maybe this wasn’t such a great idea,” I said as we made our way to the table.

“It’s like a soap opera—
The Days of Colt and Lauren and Luke and Libby
.”

I laughed as I grabbed Lex’s hand. I thanked God for her.

Now, all I had to do was get through tomorrow evening.

“You are an asshole, Colt Mathews. I will hate you for the rest of my life.” Lauren had tears streaming down her face as she pushed Colt and then ran up the stairs.

“Lauren, wait,” Taylor called out as she rushed after her.

Will and Luke thought they had calmed Colt down at the dance club, but they had been mistaken. Colt had been asking Lauren to dance all night, and she’d turned him down each time. When he had seen her dancing with another guy, he had wanted to chase the guy away, but Luke and Will had talked him out of it. But when he had seen Lauren dancing a little too sexy while moving her hand down to
the guy’s dick and beyond
—Colt’s words—Colt had gone out to the dance floor. He’d given the guy a push and then proceeded to tell Lauren that he never pictured her to be that kind of girl.

I walked up to my brother and looked at him. “Why did you say that to her?”

He pushed his hands through his hair and let out a frustrated moan. “Damn it, Alex. Last summer, she made it seem like she had the same feelings for me, and then she just dropped me. It was like she didn’t remember everything she’d said to me. Then, she went off with that fucker, but she got pissed when I got back together with Rachel.” Colt was raising his voice louder and louder. He pointed toward the stairs and yelled, “I left Rachel for her! I fucking dropped everything!”

I grabbed his arm and pulled him outside. When I shut the door, I punched him in the chest.

“What the hell, Alex? Why are you hitting me?”

I shook my head. “Colt, I don’t know what Lauren said to you or why she all of sudden decided that she didn’t want to be with you, but that gives you no right, none, to walk up to her and basically call her a slut.”

Colt swallowed hard. “I didn’t call her that.”

I placed my hands on my hips and tilted my head. “Colt Hunter Mathews, you told her she was grabbing a guy’s dick and that you never pictured her to be that kind of girl. What, in your mind, does that sound like you’re saying?”

Colt sat down on the chair and dropped his head into his hands. He sat that way for a few minutes before he finally looked up at me. He closed his eyes and slowly shook his head. “I can’t do this, Alex. It is obvious Lauren doesn’t want the same thing I want.”

“You don’t know that,” I whispered as I sat down and took his hands in mine.

“If she wanted to be with me, she wouldn’t have been with him tonight.”
