In Her Mind (Mountain High Valley Low ) Read Free

was at least worth the time to find out what she was up to. Dealing with Shelly was a dangerous game, but I had to play it for the sake of my son. Careful treading was the key to my survival, the survival of my engagement, and the possibility of seeing or possessing any type of relationship with Brice.
I called Lexie to see where she was.
“Hey, sunshine, you’re looking rather scrumptious this evening,” she said when she answered her cell phone.
I felt naked. Lexie caught me completely off guard. She was obviously within striking distance. I looked around frantically trying to spot her, while beads of sweat popped up on my forehead like chickenpox. I laughed nervously.
“Hey, you’re home,” was all I could think of saying.
Okay, Brian. Think, I thought. Now that she was home I needed a reason to disappear for whatever amount of time it took to talk to Shelly. Because of Shelly’s innate ability to master the unpredictable, I had to tread carefully. Lying to Lexie wasn’t the best solution, but I couldn’t exactly tell her where I was going and who I would be with. Not to mention, lying to her had proved to be somewhat difficult. I only hoped that my discomfort wasn’t completely obvious.
The click-clack of Lexie’s heels gave me notice that she was closing in on me. I snapped my cell phone closed, turned toward her, and smiled. Her full, succulent lips curled into a seductive smirk. Damn, my baby was in the mood. She proceeded toward me with her arms open wide, until the strap of her laptop bag slid off of her left shoulder. In one smooth motion, Lexie caught the strap with her forearm, pulled it back onto her shoulder, then reached out for me once more. Her body was soft under my embrace. Lexie hugged me tight then grabbed a handful of my ass in both of her hands.
“How’s my sunshine this evening?” she asked as she nuzzled her face into my chest. “I was hoping you’d be home by the time I got in,” she purred as she squeezed my ass again.
My manhood responded immediately. Seeing Lexie horny was always a turn-on and my paraphernalia usually responded before my mind could. Unfortunately, now was not a good time.
“I’m good. How’s my baby girl this evening?” I asked, playing along.
Lexie’s soft, plump lips against mine gave me the answer I was looking for. Thoughts of Shelly waiting in Starbucks melted away as Lexie sucked on my bottom lip right outside on the sidewalk.
Lexie pulled away and whispered breathlessly, “Let’s go upstairs.”
Shelly popped right back into my mind. I cursed her under my breath.
“What was that, sunshine?” Lexie asked.
“Nothing, baby.” Then I acted as if I’d just remembered something and slapped my forehead for effect. “Oh damn, baby girl. I have to make a quick run to handle some business with Jeff.”
“Oh, Brian,” Lexie whined. “Not now. I need you. Can’t that wait? I’ve been waiting to get to you all day. Don’t make her wait,” she pleaded, referring to the kitten purring between her legs.
Lexie stuck her lips out and gently rubbed her thumb over my nipples. Damn, damn, damn, I thought to myself. The more she pouted and the more she rubbed, the more my manhood stood at attention, threatening to bust a hole right through my front zipper. I thought about Shelly traipsing around the corner to search for me and immediately went limp.
“Babe, I promise I won’t be long. Go upstairs and get her ready for me. I’ll be right back.” I ran off before she could respond.
When I got to my Escalade, she was still standing in the same spot pouting. I rolled down the window and yelled, “Hey, baby, you got a man?” as I passed her. In my rearview mirror, I could see her beautiful smile as she waved me away and entered the building.
I’d hit at least sixty miles per hour by the time I reached the corner and practically made the left on two wheels. Shelly had to talk fast because I had business to tend to. I didn’t know what to expect with Shelly,
