Excerpt:
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
DING-DONG! DING-DONG!
“Lexi, are you in there!”
A muffled voice came
through her dreams. Lexi’s head screamed and she was
damn uncomfortable, “Go
away,” Who was at the door this late? Sounded like Jake,
“Jake, come back tomorrow!”
She shouted back. Lexi rolled over. The sun blinded her.
Oh, crap! Sunlight!
She shot up like a
springboard.
“I’ll be right there!” She
fell to the floor with a loud thud trying to run to the door.
While she slept, Lexi’s
usual thrashing tangled her up in the afghan. “Are you okay?”
Jake called from the other
side.
“Fine.” She started to pull
the afghan off her feet, but the knots were stuck through
her fishnets. Great, just
great. She managed to raise herself up and shuffle to the door
like a penguin. She threw
the door open, but the action propelled her forward. Lexi lost
her balance and collapsed
once again.

Jake looked down at Lexi
sprawled on the floor, “Are you alright?” he lowered
himself to help Lexi get to
her feet.
“Sorry, I’m all tangled.
The knots of the afghan got caught up in my fishnets.”
“Why are you still wearing
last night’s clothes?”
Lexi turned red, “I wanted
to get some cleaning done before you came over. Guess I
fell asleep.” She teetered
forward, while motioning her hand around the house. Jake
caught her along her back
and under her knees, lifting her against his chest.
“Where do you want to go?”
“The bedroom.”
“Lexi, I do love your line
of thought.” He winked at her.
“I need to shower and
change, of course,” she hit his chest playfully, “Go that way,”
Lexi pointed to the
opposite wall. Jake started in the direction, “Turn right.”
Jake took in the
surroundings of the room, soft green walls, dark brown wood
furniture, and sheer
off-white curtains. It suited Lexi and more to the point, him. He could
seduce her in this room. At
least it wasn’t pink with stuffed animals everywhere. He
shuddered remembering his
first time with his high-school sweetheart, Fran Something.
Jake never was good at
names.
“Do you need anything
else?” Jake asked with anticipation, depositing Lexi on the
bed.
“I don’t think so.”
“Alright, I’ll go wait in
the living room.”
“Okay.”
Jake no sooner closed the
door than a loud THUMP came from the other side of it,
“Are you okay?” he peeked
back into Lexi’s bedroom.
Lexi was face-first on the
floor trying to get back up. She looked like a bright
caterpillar inching its way
along the wooden floor. “It seems I need help taking off these
stockings,” she said,
without even looking up.
Jake smiled wide. “My
pleasure.” He helped Lexi back up onto the bed and looked
into her sea-green eyes.
She seemed to stare at him mesmerized, mouth agape. Lexi
darted her pink tongue out
to lick her lips. Jake let out a guttural exhale.
“The afghan,” she spoke at
last.
“Of course.” Jake looked
down at her black stockings and wondered how to
accomplish the task at hand
without seducing Lexi. Why not seduce her? It was good
practice, and really, what
was the worst that could happen? She might say ‘no’. Jake
could live with a ‘no’. He
wondered if he would regret not touching her.
