Mario and Layla is due any minute. That leaves Steve and Amber or you.” “And you picked me over Stevie Wondercock? I’m so honored.” Andi punched his arm and laughed. “It would be hard to keep my hands off and Amber is scary .” “So are you, doll.” He pulled her from the bed and held her hand as they walked down the hall. “ Come have a drink with me. Merck house rule one: drinks are mandatory, clothes are optional.” She yanked her sweatshirt over her head and Kevin almost swallowed his tongue. Andi stood in his kitchen in a fitted tank top and yoga pants. Her toned body made him stand at attention. She was gorgeous. Her dark hair was thrown into a messy bun and her tanned skin begged to be touched. He knew under that tank top was a piercing through her nipple that she had admitted drove her wild. He took several steps toward her before he stopped himself. After pouring her a glass of wine, he jumped up to sit on the counter. “So, Andi Allen. That bedroom is dark and chilly. And it’s on the front of the house so anyone could get in. Think you might get scared? I have a nice warm bed just down the hall.” “Nice try, Deuce.” Andi took the last sip of her wine and set the glass in the sink. “I’m a horror film junkie. I don’t scare that easily.” Kevin chuckled and followed her down the hall. “But what if I get scared?” Stopping in the doorway, Andi looked him up and down. “Call Ms. Mile High. I bet she has a nightlight.” She shut the door in his face. “G ood night, Doll.” Kevin’s laugh carried down the hall.
Andi stood in the kitchen enjoying a cup of coffee and praying for some clarity about her body’s betrayal when it came to Kevin. He was a womanizer and a certified pain in her ass. Yet every time he came near, her heart stopped beating and her body quivered with pure need. Being this close to him made her nervous. She silently cursed her brother and the flu that sent her running in his direction. “Morning, doll.” Kevin walked into the kitchen absently rubbing his hand down his chest. He yawned and opened the refrigerator. Her eyes widened. He stood just feet from her, hair messy from sleep and a pair of the sexiest glasses she had ever seen. His pajama pants hung loosely on his hips, that chiseled V leading to the Promised Land guaranteeing complete pleasure and exhaustion. She licked her lips. She couldn’t tear her eyes from his abs. “Do you?” He slammed the fridge shut and chugged some orange juice. Andi’s eyes snapped up from his bare chest and met his. “I’m sorry. What?” He smirked. “Do you need a ride?” She took a deep breath to compose herself. “No thanks. I have my car.” “Car. Hmmm. Not what I was thinking.” Kevin laughed when she rolled her eyes. “It’s like you have an encyclopedia of bullshit in that brain. How pathetic are the women that fall for this?” Andi grabbed her purse and headed to the front door. Kevin reached for her arm. “Are you pathetic, Andi Allen? Because you seemed to be enjoying the view a minute ago.” “And it gets deeper.” She pulled her arm away. “Deeper is better.” As Andi stomped out the front door, Kevin took a deep breath. He was not going to survive with her under the same roof.
“It’s Merck. When are you coming back to LA?” He tucked his cell phone between his shoulder and his chin and unlocked the door to the gym. Lily’s laugh made him smile. “Who is she?” “Don’t ask. It’s a cluster fuck. I need to see you.” “How did I become the booty call? I’m in Georgia. Don’t you have a black book of local women?” Kevin laughed. “Dude, I’ll buy a damn plane if that will get you here faster.” He flipped on the lights and threw his keys on the desk. “Seriously, it’s been awhile. I know you aren’t going to fall in love
