Falling for My Boss
Page 52
“Hmm.” He said finally. “Maybe I’ll concede this once.”
“Wow, how grand of you.” I laughed and patted the front of my shirt down. I could see Alice staring at us and I remembered that I hadn’t shown her my wrists yet.
“Are you ready, Alice?” Aiden was walking towards us and I quickly flashed my wrists in her face so that she could see the red indentations. I noticed both Alice and Scott looking at the red marks with curious expressions. I stood back, feeling guilty as I watched Aiden helping her up and then I looked back at Scott, whose expression held a humorous look.
“Back with those handcuffs again, Elizabeth?” He grinned at me.
“It’s not what you think.” I said, feeling embarrassed.
“Oh?” He said. “What do I think?”
“It wasn’t me and Shane or anything?” I said stammering and his expression changed.
“I wasn’t thinking about Shane. Are you dating him again?”
“No.” I said. “I haven’t spoken to him since he sent the flowers.” I didn’t tell him that Shane had called me and gotten my mom to call me as well, on his behalf. I didn’t tell him that I’d agreed to call Shane later this week, just to catch up. I didn’t think that Scott was the right person to be telling about Shane, period.
“Oh?” He cocked his head to the side and studied my face.
“Yeah.”
“Interesting.”
“Yup.” I felt awkward standing there, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Are we the King and Queen of one word responses?” He said with a grin.
“Perhaps.” I said and laughed. I watched his boyish face change expressions. He went from a light humorous look to a darker, more lustful face.
“What are you doing tonight?” He said and leaned into me.
“Why?”
“Maybe we can play with those handcuffs again?”
“I haven’t seen or heard from you since last week. And now you want us to play with handcuffs?”
“Don’t you want to play with handcuffs?” He grabbed my wrists and studied the red marks. “I can tie you up on my bed and do wicked wicked things to you.”
“I don’t need you to do wicked things to me.” I swallowed hard as he pushed his erection into me. “Scott.” I said, my eyes wide.
“What?” He leaned down and blew into my ear.
“Scott.” I moaned. “We’re still on the field.”
“So?” The tip of his tongue darted into my ear and I felt his teeth nibbling on my earlobe.
“What are you doing?” I jumped back, my chest heaving.
“You don’t want me?”
“Is this just about sex for you?” I said, feeling confused.
“I’m not here to make new friends if that’s what you’re asking.” He said with a frown. “We’ve done this your way and your way sucked. And you told me only last week that you might still want to fuck your ex, so I’m guessing you’re not looking for anything serious.”
“You’re a jerk.” I gasped as I stepped back.
“But I’m still pretty good with a pair of handcuffs.” He winked and looked down at me wrists again. “Only I won’t leave marks.”
“Whatever.” I said, my face burning as I turned away from him. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him.
“We’re not done, Elizabeth.” He said softly. “Not even a little bit. The last time we were together you fucked me with abandon. Trust me when I say that that wasn’t the last time.” He dropped my arm then and then smacked my butt hard. “Run off now. You can go.” He said in a dismissive tone and I ran away from him fuming. He was such a jackass, but I was still turned on. I ran over to Lacey feeling hot and bothered and grabbed her arm. “We’re leaving and we’re getting some drinks. I’m so over Scott Taylor.”
“I didn’t know you were under him.” Lacey said and started giggling, but she stopped as soon as she saw the look on my face. I was fuming mad. I couldn’t believe how rude Scott had been, especially because he had been so nice and happy when he’d first come over to me. I just didn’t understand him. He was almost as hot and cold as I was.
Chapter Seventeen
“I feel so sad, Lacey,” I mumbled, as I got dressed. “I know I shouldn’t be feeling sorry for myself. I should be happy for Alice and Aiden. I mean they deserve to be together and to be happy, but I’m sad I won’t be a part of their lives anymore.”
“Yeah,” Lacey looked pretty disappointed herself. “Maybe they’ll still be friends with you.”
“Even though Alice knows I was an actress paid by her boyfriend?” I said and made a face. “I doubt it.”
“You never know.” Lacey sat on my bed as I got dressed. “Frankly, I’m surprised that it all worked out for Aiden and Alice. I was pretty sure that she would flip out on him and leave him.”
“She’s not me.” I laughed as I put on a gold necklace. “I guess, maybe I’m the only one that goes that crazy over lies.”
“Yeah, you’re over the top.” She laughed. “Well with the wrong guys.”
“Lacey.” I gave her a warning look.
“What?” She narrowed her eyes at me. “I don’t think it’s a good idea that you’re going to be speaking to Shane tomorrow.”
“Wow, how grand of you.” I laughed and patted the front of my shirt down. I could see Alice staring at us and I remembered that I hadn’t shown her my wrists yet.
