chapter twenty-five ~ Carlo

Carlo was pulling his crimson V-neck over his head when the doorbell rang. Slowly, he pushed up each sleeve, a slight frown on his face. He wasn't expecting anyone, since he had the office party in just over an hour. Looking in the bathroom mirror, he raked a hand through his damp, disheveled hair and headed for the front door. Hopefully, whoever it was wouldn't need much of his time so he could finish getting ready and leave for the party at Bent Brook.

His bare feet were silent on the gleaming wood floor as he walked into the foyer. Through the front door sidelight, he could see a tall woman, her arms wrapped around herself presumably from the cold, wearing a bulky winter coat with the hood over her head, obscuring her face. With a pang of disappointment, he realized she was too tall to be Cassandra. So who was it?

He opened the door, a blast of mid-December air rudely inviting itself in. The woman pushed back her hood, shaking her bangs out of her eyes and grinning at him almost impishly. It was Alexis.

He smiled in spite of himself. “Well. This is a surprise.”

“Look, I know you weren't expecting me, but God damn it, Carlo, I've asked about getting together like a hundred times, and I just thought I'd take the bull by the horns...so to speak. Are you going to invite me in? It's freezing out here!”

“Getting together? Is that what you'd call what we do?” He raised an eyebrow at her, amused.

She made a face at him. “Getting together...booty call...shagging...fucking...whatever you want to call it.”

Carlo stepped aside so she could enter and closed the door behind her. Immediately, she wrapped her arms around him. The action, and his reaction, took him by surprise. He hadn't expected to feel so moved by her display of affection—or so aroused.

The high-heeled boots Alexis was wearing brought her to nearly his height. She shrugged out of her heavy coat and let it fall to the floor, standing before him in a soft, loose-fitting pink sweater and tight jeans. She was smiling, but there was an intensity in her gaze that was unmistakable as her eyes searched his. “You aren't the only one who has needs, Carlo,” she murmured. “I'm sorry to show up like this unannounced, but you know I can be impulsive, and I just couldn't stand it anymore. You hadn't said anything about your being in a relationship, so I figured you were able to...play. And right now—I really, really need to.” She stepped closer so that her pelvis was pressing into his, her face registering instant pleasure as she felt his growing erection. Putting her smooth cheek against his, she spoke huskily as she slid her fingers up the back of his neck and into his hair. “Will you play with me, Carlo?”

Christ. “Lex...” The scent of her, the feel of her body against his and knowing that she wanted him, combined with his unappeased libido.
