Lexie
I watched Knox get up from the bed, completely naked as he rose from between the two women. How did he do it? How?!
I shut my eyes and immediately looked the other way, but he didn't just walk away. No, he approached me, naked! I opened my eyes, and they immediately trailed down to his d**k. I watched it sway from side to side, looking big enough to cut through some s**t.
What was that? What even was that?!
He placed a hand on my shoulder and pulled me into the room, closing the door behind us. I swallowed hard, forcing my eyes to stay on his face instead of that thing between his legs.
“What are you doing here, Lex?”
“Let me go, Knox. This isn't right.”
He pressed closer, so much so that I could feel him against my thighs. I glanced back at the women in the room. They both wore serious expressions, like they were displeased about something.
“Really?” His deep voice reverberated around the room. “You know... it's disrespectful to barge in on people having s*x. Unless...”
“Unless what?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. He only flashed me a cocky grin.
“Unless you enjoy that type of thing. Tell me, are you into that, Lex?”
The way he said my name made me shiver. The way he looked at me was so intense that I swore my heart did a backflip.
He trailed his fingers along the sides of my hands, brushing against my skin. I froze, my breath hitching as I waited to see what he'd do next. My body betrayed me, reacting to his closeness in ways I didn't want to admit.
He brought his mouth close to my ear before licking my earlobe. I shivered, gripping the back of his neck.
“They're watching...” I whispered, and he clicked his tongue.
“Come on now. You know you're supposed to show them how it's done.”
I could barely breathe, barely move. He had me cornered, one hand braced against the wall above my head as he looked down at me.
“You need to let me go. I promise I won't tell anyone.” I didn't mean a single word. I wanted him to corner me, to touch me right in front of them. I wanted him to claim me, to say I was his so they would know. For some reason, I wasn't just embarrassed. I was jealous, too.
My eyes shifted to the women before returning to Knox, who hadn't taken his eyes off me. His gaze was piercing, almost as if he knew exactly what I was thinking. I attempted to pull my hands from the back of his neck, but he caught them and firmly placed them back where they were.
His eyes drifted down to my lips before lowering to my cleavage, which was practically on display because my basic top had apparently decided it was too tight for me.
“You're staring,” I said, lifting my chin. “Take a picture while you're at it.”
He chuckled, his eyes trailing down to my toes before returning to my face. “I'm just appreciating the view, mama.”
Mama.
God, I almost came just from hearing him say that.
I was about to say something when a knock sounded on the door. I froze when Knox placed a finger against my lips.
“Who is it?” he asked.
“It's Kyle. Rhett said I should call you for an important meeting,” Kyle said, and Knox practically rolled his eyes.
“I'll be right out.”
We remained still until we heard Kyle's footsteps fading down the hall. He removed his finger from my lips, making me gasp for air.
“It's too bad we can't continue what we started, but tonight, I get to see you again during our dinner.”
“I'm not coming, so you'd better be aware.”
“Of course you will, mama.”
He leaned closer to my ear and whispered, “Unless you want me to make you. I'm sure you'd love that.”
I swallowed, the sound loud enough for him to hear, as my knees trembled in anticipation. Now, I desperately wanted to know what he would do to me.

By the time I returned home, I'd convinced myself that Knox was an i***t and that I couldn't care less about what happened behind his bedroom door.
I repeated those words while brushing my teeth, taking a shower, and once again as I stood in front of my closet, deciding what to wear for dinner. I caught myself reaching for a black dress that hugged my curves in all the right places.
Absolutely not.
I tossed it onto the bed and grabbed a pair of sweatpants instead. There, much better. Except thirty minutes later, I stood in front of my mirror, wearing the black dress. It looked good on me—annoyingly good.
I put on my glasses, settling them on the bridge of my nose, before gathering my short hair into a messy bun.
“You know what? f**k it! You're going to this dinner, and nothing is going to happen. You can do this… you're a big girl!”
Except this wasn't just a normal dinner. This was a dinner date with the same men I'd fooled myself into thinking I didn't want countless times. Thankfully, Rhett and Dad weren't around to witness me practically disgracing myself.
I didn't even want to imagine what Rhett would say if he found out I'd gone on a date with his best friends, especially after they'd been entrusted with my care.
I took a deep breath as my phone lit up with a notification. I picked it up and saw a message from an unknown number.
“Don't keep us waiting, mama.”
Knox… they were here. I looked at myself one last time, smoothing my hands over my dress as nervous butterflies fluttered in my stomach, before walking out of the room. The moment I stepped outside, the cold breeze hit me. I looked up, and my eyes met the three of them standing in front of me.
They stared at me as though I'd just stepped out of a magazine. Their eyes travelled from my head to my toes, leaving me suddenly conscious of every inch of my body.
“You look…”
“You're…”
“Wow,” they all said at the same time, and I couldn't help the blush that crept up my cheeks.
