there?”
Lexi smiled. “You got it.”
There was a brief whirlwind of flying clothing as they raced to get to the bed. Lexi, who hadn’t had to deal with shoelaces the way Scott did, got there first.
He took a step toward her and stumbled. “Ow. Shit.”
Why was there always some kind of painful obstacle standing between him and this beautiful, willing, and now nude woman?
“What did you do to yourself now?” She giggled.
Bending down, he grabbed the offending object and held it in the air for her to see. “I stepped on the screwdriver.”
She laughed. “Put it away in the drawer before you hurt yourself more and can’t perform.”
“Oh, I’ll be able to perform, don’t you worry about that.” He took one painful step to the nightstand, pulled open the drawer and stopped, staring and speechless.
“What’s wrong? Oh. Oh my God.” Red faced, Lexi dove across the mattress and tried to shove the drawer shut, but Scott was far more motivated to keep it open.
“Oh no, no, no.” He held the drawer open with one hand while he pulled out a large pink penis-shaped dildo, complete with battery pack. As he grabbed it, his hand must have brushed the on switch because the thing started to gyrate and quiver all on its own. He smiled down at her on the bed. “What do we have here?”
“I can’t believe you found that.” Lexi flung herself onto her stomach and buried her face in the pillow.
“That’s not all I found.” He reached into the drawer again and pulled out the fireman calendar…opened to July.
She raised her head off the mattress just enough to see what he was talking about and then buried it again. “I’m so totally humiliated.”
Lexi was naked and face down on the bed. There were far better things he should be doing than talking, but Scott couldn’t help himself, he had to ask. “Lexi. Do you actually…you know… masturbate to my picture?”
“I’m not going to answer that.” The pillow still muffled Lexi’s voice, but he heard her just fine and knew that a no comment was as good as a yes.
This revelation was more than interesting. Scott had a bedside drawer with a skin magazine in it, one he hadn’t needed since meeting Lexi and having her image in his head, but he had no idea that women did the same thing.
Still in shock at the discovery that women did the same thing men did, but with toys, he managed to turn off the pink thing and put it back in the drawer without sending it into spasms again.
Smiling with satisfaction, Scott crawled onto the bed and laid the length of his body against Lexi’s back, nestling his erection snugly between her legs.
Nuzzling the back of her neck, he whispered, “At least you have a picture of me. When I do that thinking about you, I have to use my imagination.”
She slowly turned her head and he saw just the side of her reddened face. “You think about me and…you know? Do that?”
He nodded. If she could face the embarrassment, then he could too. “Yeah, pretty much every day since the night I met you. You remember that night we met, don’t you? The night of the infamous egg incident.” He joked with her but then got perfectly serious. “There’s nothing for you to be embarrassed about, believe me. You doing that is totally hot.”
She bit her lower lip and yet again he had the urge to take over and do it for her. He stroked her face with a fingertip and nudged himself a little deeper between her legs.
Her eyelids drifted closed as she breathed in deeply and spread her thighs. He rubbed his erection between her thighs, slowly inching closer to his final destination and thinking this was far better than any of his fantasies.
Brushing her hair aside, he ran his tongue along her neck. “You’re right. There’s nothing quite like the real thing.”
Maybe he was a presumptuous man, or just a prepared one who knew this was inevitable, but he’d been carrying around a pair of condoms for about a week. As Lexi watched him
