Blind (Senses Series Book 1) by Xavier Neal Read Free Book Online

Erin’s navy blue strapless dress she convinced me to borrow rides up yet again. Every time I stand it shoots up like it’s a rocket and my ass is the moon.
    If I had more of my own nice clothes it wouldn’t be necessary to borrow hers. Borrow seems to be the wrong word. Gave me seems better. She doesn’t even wear it any more. Apparently it’s too big for her. Maybe now that I’ve got more of a business job I should get nicer clothes, but that would mean spending less time in my yoga pants and Mario Brothers t-shirts. That sounds lame, right?
    “Our pleasure,” Michael responds. “Hopefully we’ll see you again soon.”
    I nod as Tony slips a hand on the small of my back to escort me towards the door mumbling in my ear. “Hopefully not too soon.”
    With a snicker I watch as his free hand loosens his tie once we are just steps away from his BMW, which is the silver version of Luke’s.
    When Luke’s and Erin’s parents were alive, they had money. And when they died, well, we all found out just how much money they really had.
    “Is it just me or does the air out here seem considerably less thick?” Tony grumbles. I snicker again and he opens my car door for me, still shaking his head. “I think I’ve got a hunk of snob stuck in my throat.”
    After he shuts the door, I buckle my seat belt as he climbs in. “They weren’t that bad.”
    “You’re just being polite.”
    “Well no shit.”
    Tony chuckles, buckles up, starts the car, and takes off. “That’s one thing I love about you.”
    “My inability to censor myself?”
    “I was gonna go with your attitude, but that too.”
    I smirk and pull my phone from my purse to see if I’ve missed any texts. And I haven’t. No surprise there.
    Erin has a ‘one text to see if you’re alive’ on a date rule. Luke hardly texts because he thinks they’re for emergencies only and Logan…well between the constant mixed signals I’m getting I’d be surprised if he remembers that cell phones can be used for basic talking aside from sexting. And trust me. He knows how to sext with the best of them. Sometimes I wish I didn’t know the password on his phone.
    Tony yanks me out of my thoughts. “Thanks again for coming with me.”
    “No biggie.”
    “I promise our next date will be just the two of us, and all the other people in the restaurant of course. Your choice.”
    The fact that we’ve already got a second date lined up should make me nervous. I like Tony well enough, but part of me feels bad because I know he’s not what I really want.
    Though I guess there are worse people to have as backup.
    “That is if you still wanna go out with me. I completely get it if my asshole of a brother made you think twice.”
    My head rolls over to face him. “Nah. I don’t scare that easy.”
    “Good. Because I like you.” He folds his fingers with mine before bringing my hand up for a kiss on the back of it.
    And that’s all he says for the rest of the car ride. Wordless jazz tunes flow around us and I find myself actually happy.
    This is what dating is supposed to be like isn’t it? This is what relationships are supposed to start off as. Simple. Sweet. Easy. If only I could just put Logan into a boundary box of friendship. And get him to fucking stay there.
    I steal a glance at Tony who hasn’t stopped smiling since we left his brother. I’m the reason for the goofy smirk. Me.
    You know what? It’s official. From this point forward I’m back to being done with pining over Logan. It only leads to mood swings and late night masturbating.
    Tony pulls up in front of the house and I immediately notice that Logan’s car is missing. I fight the natural instinct to be upset. Come on Maxx! You just vowed to leave him in the friend zone. Leave him there! He gets out and walks me towards our cute red painted front door, which was Erin’s doing. She insisted we’re a new kind of family and we needed a new kind of door in this cookie cutter
