Shit She was going to have to get a serious grip

And soon

The devilish glea his best to hide his amusement, Xander pushed back froh her condo He didn’t, however, try to hide the fact that he was staring at her ass as she orgeous, and she had an ass that made a man’s mouth water Heart shaped and the perfect size to fill his hands nicely

He’d been hoping she would co one of those fora outfits that she favored when she was home Casual wear, she called them Much to his dis a short skirt and a blazer with those daave him an instant hard on

Still, it didn’t matter what she wore She was hot as hell Shit, he was pretty sure she could wear a potato sack, and his dick would still stand up and take notice

Mercedes cleared her throat, and Xander forced his eyes to h because he’d been clearly busted while ad her perfect ass Rather than pretend he hadn’t been eyeballing her, he tossed her one of the heated looks he’d perfected over the years

“Sit down,” she said with a choked laugh

He was fairly certain that Mercedes was on to hiht?

If she seriously thought that what happened between them at Devotion was just a de a few marbles And he knew that wasn’t the case because Mercedes was one of the ent women he’d ever met

He waited for her to take a seat behind her desk before he lowered hireeted as he lanced back over his shoulder, offering Shane a tilt of his chin in response The man was decked out in one of those three thousand dollar suits he’d recently begun sporting Although his oatch probably cost more than Shane’s entire closet, Xander had to admit, he was impressed with his friend’s recent transformation

He wiped the s at him

Based on the stern expression on Shane’s too handso to be a tenseand truthfully, Xander would’ve preferred to spend his tiain

Twentyhis hands in his lap as he sat patiently waiting for Shane to calm down

Tense had been an understateiven in to his deht fra his composure, he remained as relaxed as he could while Shane paced the floor behind hi both of them intently which was the only reason Xander didn’t lose his shit

She’d been thehe could afford was to let Shane win this round Clasping his hands together in his lap, Xander crossed one ankle over the opposite knee and glanced over at Shane, as ot to be fucking kidding er and frustration He turned and sto

Uncharacteristically restless, Xander leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees as he glanced up at Mercedes to see that she was s He wondered if she was entertained by his unease Probably

Any other day, he ht’ve taken offense to her obvious amusement at his expense But today… Today he just couldn’t find it in hi to spend every wakingabout her naked

The wo known her for years, Xander had to give hi his hands to himself all this time Lord knows he’d been tempted ever since he first saw her in that rat trap of an office she had been working out of back when Shane introduced them
