I can’t move too fast. I need to do this right. “Do you think we could maybe start out by being friends?”
I noticed when her whole body sank. Shit, that didn’t come out right.
She tried to pull her hand away, but I held on to it.
“Wait, that didn’t come out right. ”
As she stood up, she took her hand away from mine. “No, it’s fine. You’re right. I don’t expect you to just jump into this like nothing happened. I mean, you don’t even know me. ” She gave me a weak smile.
Ah shit. Why do I feel like I just ripped out her heart?
“Heather, please…” I reached out my hand for hers, willing her to take it.
Just as she placed her hand in mine, the door opened with no warning, and Victoria walked in. She glanced down at our hands before her eyes snapped back up to focus on me and then Heather.
“Well, looks like you two are getting to know each other again,” she said with a fake-ass smile.
When she turned and leaned over, I couldn’t help but notice her ass. Damn…girl has been working out these last few years.
I quickly looked away and glanced at Heather. She was watching Victoria’s every move.
Thank God she didn’t see me checking out Victoria’s ass. God, I’m such a dick. I closed my eyes, wishing I could punch myself.
“Well, sorry to break up the reunion between you two, but I have to take Josh for his scan now. ” Victoria winked at me.
Fuck. Why is she flirting with me in front of Heather?
When I glanced over at Heather, she was staring at me. I smiled at her, but she looked back over to Victoria.
“Not sure how long this will take, so feel free to stay in the room or go to the waiting room. ” Victoria moved past Heather and lifted up the side rail of my bed.
“That’s fine. I’m going to meet Greg and Elizabeth down in the cafeteria for lunch. ” Heather turned back to me and smiled.
I liked how she’d called my parents by their first names. Considering that along with how much my parents adored her and the engagement ring…yeah, we must have been really serious. It was bothering me that this was probably killing her. Shit. This girl has me in knots, and I can’t even remember a goddamn thing about her.
Heather stepped closer and leaned down slightly, like she was going to kiss me good-bye, but then she stopped herself. “Okay…well, I guess we’ll see you in a bit. Good luck with the scan. ” She took a step away from the bed.
“I don’t even get a good-bye kiss?” I asked, knowing how that would make her smile.
Bingo! Right on cue.
I stared as that beautiful smile spread across her face. Just as Heather was about to walk back toward me, Victoria stepped in front of her and started to push the bed away from the wall.
“Say good-bye for now, Josh,” Victoria said to me before looking over her shoulder at Heather. “Don’t worry, honey. I’ll be sure to take real good care of him. ”
I rolled my eyes. I went to look back at Heather, but my whole body screamed out in pain when I did. Closing my eyes, I tried to memorize her. Her blonde hair was beautiful, and it looked so soft. She had the most amazing blue eyes I’d ever seen. Her laugh was…incredibly sexy as hell. She was wearing jeans that fit her body like a glove and a Longhorn T-shirt that was a bit too big on her small frame. Deep down inside, I was hoping like hell that it was my T-shirt on her body.
I heard the elevator doors close, and then I felt lips on my lips. Those beautiful, soft-looking lips…
I opened my eyes to see it was Victoria kissing me. When her tongue pushed into my mouth, I started exploring it with mine. I let out a moan as I remembered all the times we’d been together. She responded with her own moan that ran through my body, causing my dick to jump.
Then, her face flashed in my mind. Heather. This is wrong. This just feels so damn wrong.
I pulled my lips away from Victoria’s and shook my head. “No, please don’t do that. This is wrong, Tori. ”
Smiling, she moved her hand under the covers and grabbed my dick. “Doesn’t feel like it’s wrong, babe. God, I’ve missed you, Josh. I can make a small detour if you need a little…attention down here. ”
Oh god, this girl gives the best blow jobs. “I, um…I don’t think that’s such a good idea. ” I cleared my throat as I tried to ignore her hand stroking up and down my dick.
