Friends.

Never had I hated a word more.

Becoming friends? That was all Lexi saw on the horizon?

And when did I jump on board for something more than friendship? How could I know if Lexi was the kind of woman who’d see the real me, and not focus on the front? Given her furious blush at the art class, I had quite a bit of evidence she was impressed with what I looked like. Always great, but I needed something more. I needed her to appreciate something that clothes or nudity couldn’t cover.

Then again, I was stacking the odds against her. As I watched her send beady eyes to the photographer’s assistant as she repositioned Lexi’s arm ten times in twenty seconds, I considered this sassy brunette who’d shared my bed the last night. What if our roles were reversed? If I’d first seen Lexi posing nude for an art class that I happened to attend…

Lexi nude. Maybe that blush ran so prettily down her nape before the swell of a pale breast just the perfect size for sucking into my mouth and clamping down—

“Hey, handsome. You coming?”

Coming? With Lexi? Sure.

“…waiting for you over there,” someone told me with a flirty undertone. A feminine hand caressed my arm and jolted me out of my fantasy. The younger of the photographer’s assistants gestured for me to head to another corner of the room where the other groomsmen were being lined up for shots.

Well. Point taken as I straightened from leaning against a chair, shifting at the beginning of a hard-on before walking off. If I could fall into a sexy imagination of Lexi at just the thought of seeing her naked, who was I to get annoyed that she’d started our connection by ogling me? That was human instincts for you. Attraction didn’t have to be the sum all of being with someone, though. If she and I were mutually interested in each other for more than a fuck, why not? Why immediately banish all possibilities just because we’d met on the heels of a crappy breakup for her? I’d had my version of a shitty breakup years ago and I was ready to shed the scars of that ordeal to make room for Lexi in my life.

Maybe.

My instant hope that I could convince Lexi to stay open-minded about considering something more than friendship with me—no matter how long it could take—didn’t bode well for looking in the opposite direction of where she was positioned for so many pictures with Bev and the others. Out of the ninety-some pics snapped of us guys, I’d wager half of them might show me glancing at the other side of the room. No, no wagering. No betting. Not anytime soon for me. The only way I’d agree to pose nude again would be in a one-on-one, private setting. Like with…oh, maybe Lexi. The woman who was insisting on just friends.

Once the guys’ photoshoot was done, the same assistant who’d directed me over here sidled up to me.
