literally and figuratively, because I knew after this I was ruined.

Who is She?
    Xander
     
    I woke with a start. Nude, disoriented, and completely alone. The shrill sound of my cell phone startled me out of my sleep. I glanced down at the screen and saw a missed call from Marcus. A quick glance at the clock showed it had been two hours since Avery had shown up at my door. I did a quick check of the house even though I knew I wouldn’t find her here. I stopped off at the bathroom before settling on my bed with the phone. I tried to convince myself not to call her, and it worked for about half an hour. I knew I wasn’t getting back to sleep, and I was a little pissed she’d come over here, turned everything upside down, and left while I slept. I tapped on Avery’s contact info and sent her a text.
    W here’d you go?
    H ome. Her response was so quick I thought she might’ve been up waiting for me .
    W hy?
    I live here .
    Smart- ass. I hit the call button instead of replying.
    “Hello.”
    “Why’d you leave?”
    “You never asked me to stay.”
    “ I would’ve if I’d have been awake when you snuck off.”
    “ I find it ironic that you’re complaining about falling asleep.”
    “I ’m not complaining about that . I don’t even know what I’m complaining about.” I never had a problem with a woman leaving after sex. I couldn’t get them out fast enough, and now… now I was seconds from asking her to come back.
    “You got what you wanted, Xander,” she said matter-of-factly.
    I know I did . But was it enough? Would it ever be? Every time I fucked her, the need grew. The silence on the phone stretched for too long, but neither of us made an effort to disconnect the call.
    “ Avery,” I said, breaking the silence.
    “ Yeah.” Her tone came across soft and breathy, like she was drifting to sleep.
    “ I want to fuck you again.”
    She moaned. T he sound brought my dick from half-mast to fully erect in seconds.
    “N ext time, I’m going to tie you to my bed so you’ll be here when I wake up. You can be my own little personal fuck puppet.”
    “ Wow … do you have to be so crude?”
    “ Yeah, I do. I’m a filthy-mouthed bastard who loves to fuck, and hopefully I’ll get you to be just as dirty. You know… maybe stain you with my hot, sticky—”
    “ Xander.”
    “ Yeah?”
    “ Goodnight.”
    I smiled at her dismissal. “Goodnight, Avery.”
    I hung up with a ridiculous smile on my face and my other hand on my cock. She would quickly turn me into a sex-crazed maniac. Then she’d also be treating me for a sex addiction she afflicted me with. Before I placed the phone down, it began ringing.
    “Change your mind ?” I answered, expecting to hear Avery’s voice.
    “Xander? ”
    Marcus. “Yeah. What’s up?” I shifted into a seated position.
    “It ’s about the doctor you wanted me to check up on.”
    “You can call off the investigation.”
    “That was quick.” He chuckled. “Never cease to amaze me.”
    “Shut up. I don ’t need that info anymore.”
    “Are you sure?”
    “ Why? What did you find out?” I tensed.
    “Nothing.” I relaxed, loosening my grip on the phone.
    “Okay , so why do you sound so worried?”
    “Because I found nothing . It’s like she didn’t exist before eighteen. I don’t like it, Xander. Anyone who goes to that much trouble to cover their past has something ugly to hide.”
    “How much could she have done before she turned eighteen? She’s too straight and narrow for anything criminal.”
    “You of all people should know when you’re trying to bury a part of your past, you turn into a completely different person.”
    “Trust me , I know that, but not Avery.”
    “ You’re blinded by the pussy. The taste of it is probably still on your lips.”
    I smirked because I actually did still taste her on my tongue. “Fine, dig all you want.”
    “ You can’t afford any surprises right now, so I’ll update you when I come up with some answers.”
