Trying to Score

“Yeah, and because she is, and I believe in true love, I’m gonna help both of you out.”
Lucas’ grin stayed in place, because he just found his in with Fallon.
Chapter 9
Fallon’s body was still on fire.
Being only inches away from Lucas had really messed her up. Not only was she hot, she was dripping wet. All he had to do was pin her with those smoky eyes and she was a goner, primed and ready for some lovin’. If his lips were to even graze hers, she wouldn’t even know what to do. Probably jump him like a cat in heat.
It was disgusting.
Something was terribly wrong with her because men didn’t do that to her. Fallon had been on plenty of dates with men, and none of them had ever made her panties soaked the way Lucas did with just one damn look.
One Look! One!
And then his mouth would curve in that little smirk of his, and Fallon swore she came at the sight of it. Just imaging that mouth on her, sucking and biting every piece of her, was going to make her crazy. Lucas wasn’t joking when he said he would do her good, because he could. Really good, like make-a-person-scream-very-naughty-things good. He had this way of making Fallon ask for things that a good girl shouldn’t be asking for. When he would run his tongue down the hollow of her neck, she was putty in his hands. When he slid his hand in the crease between her ass and thigh, she swore she could come at just the feel of his hands. He was toxic and hot and Lord help her, but she wanted to f**k to his brains out again.
Like now.
What the hell was wrong with her!? He broke her heart, he ruined her for any other guy, and for God’s sake, he hadn’t spoken to her in seven years!
Fallon’s face fell into her hands as she cursed her lady parts for wanting someone that was not only dangerous but — hello — the father of her son that he had no clue about! Jesus, she needed help. Fallon heard her office door open but didn’t look up. She prayed that it wasn’t Lucas coming back for round two.
“Goodness me, what’s wrong with you?”
Fallon looked up at her sister and wanted to cry.
“I just called security to remove Lucas from the office building,” Fallon groaned. “I’m pretty sure he’s pissed.”
Audrey laughed. “Why did you do that? And why does it matter if he’s mad?”
Fallon shook her head. She didn’t know why it mattered that he was mad, but it did. She hated the look he gave her as the officers escorted him from her office. He was so surprised she had kicked him out, hell, she was even surprised.
“I don’t know why,” she whined, sounding a lot like Aiden, “but I care and I think it’s ‘cause I wanna have sex with him.”
Audrey laughed again. “Wow, so didn’t see you saying that.”
“Something is wrong with me,” Fallon cried. “He just drives me insane, and I wanna screw his brains out but I know that can’t happen because I haven’t told him about Aiden and because I’m supposed to hate him because he’s a cheating bastard, but I can’t help it! He so freaking smooth and dangerous and Audrey! He is the best lay ever!”
Audrey couldn’t even hold in the laughter Fallon knew she was trying to hold in. Audrey giggled as she leaned against the door frame. “Gosh, he does have you in knots. I think it’s funny.”
Fallon scoffed. “Some sister you are.”
Audrey really laughed at that as she came around the desk, wrapping her arms around Fallon’s neck. Fallon closed her eyes. Audrey gave the best hugs. They were so warm and so loving. Audrey was honestly her best friend. “Fallon, you’re tripping out babe. Why can’t you just have sex with him? Maybe it will give you some closure and you won’t want him anymore.”
Fallon laughed. “If I have sex with Lucas Brooks, I will still want him. A lot. So that isn’t gonna work, plus I haven’t told him about Aiden yet.”
“So tell him, and then get it on girl. Make me another nephew or niece.”
Fallon shook her head. “Even if I tell him about Aiden, I can’t have sex with him, I can’t. I don’t ever want to give him my heart again. He hurt me so bad AA, I just don’t want to go through that again.”
Audrey kissed her cheek. “People change Fallon, and he has to regret what he did.”
“He does, but that doesn’t make it better. How can I forgive him Audrey? Why does he want me back now? Seven years. Seven long, f**king years,” Fallon said as tears began to fall. “I’ve cried myself to sleep every night since I found out he was coming to Nashville. Scared because I knew this was how I was gonna get. The first time I met him, he had me kissing him in the middle of a bar. I slept with him that night, and I spent the whole summer with him. I didn’t even go home at all. I bought a new wardrobe, and bought new toiletries, everything. I was his that whole summer. I gave him everything, and for two amazing years, he was mine.”
“Fallon, goodness me, why haven’t you ever told me any of this?” Audrey asked, coming around the desk to look at her. “How did you keep all this bottled up inside you?”
Fallon wiped her face, moving her hair out of her eyes as she took a deep breath. “Because when I opened that door and found him naked in bed with my best friend, I felt like I failed. That it was my fault that he was in bed with her. That I didn’t give him everything he needed or wanted. I felt like it was my fault.”
“Oh, come on, Fallon, it was not your fault.”
Lucas’ grin stayed in place, because he just found his in with Fallon.
