Facing Off with Alexi (Witch Field Prowlers Book 2) by Selena Illyria Read Free Book Online Page B

just what? Your reaction to breathing? The queen alien bitch? Dust motes?” She gave him a mild squeeze. “Well?”
    He let out a strangled laugh when she did it again. Sweat beaded on his brow as she kneaded him with the palm of her hand. Pleasurable shocks rocketed up and down his shaft and from his toes to his head. Everything in him wanted to move into that touch, to undo his fly, take out his hardened cock, and let her have at him, but much to his irritation, that wasn’t the way the game was going to go. His inner competitive streak raised its ugly head.
    “Unless you want me to blow my top right here and now?” He waited for the words to sink in.
    She released him, without treating the situation like she’d touched a hot stove, and backed off until she stood before him. She ran a hand through her hair. “I don’t know what to do or where to go.”
    He reached out and grabbed her hands, holding them until she lifted her gaze to stare into his eyes. “You think this is easy for me? You felt my hard-on? I want more than anything to take you to bed right now, but if I did that, this could become awkward and you would back off and we’d return to where we were before, with tension between us. I know you. So with that, I think movie night is over, okay?”
    A stubborn glint came into her eyes, and she pressed her lips together.
    He tugged on her hands. “Okay?”
    “No, I’m not ready for this to be over. Pick another movie.” She lifted her chin, daring him to nix the idea.
    “You sure? You don’t need time to decompress?” He wanted to make sure she wasn’t pushing herself to spend time with him just because she didn’t want things to be awkward.
    “I want this. I can’t keep running away from you. So pick a movie.”
    He released her hands, stood up, and made his way to the TV, happy that she wasn’t going to hide from him. But later would be another matter. As surreptitiously as he could, he adjusted his erection, but he doubted anything but a quick jerk-off session would alleviate his state of being. This would be one of many times, he was sure of that.

Chapter Six
    Tianna lay in bed. Tingles raced along her thighs and her sex. Her nipples pulsed, demanding attention. Cold air from the AC system permeated the thin material of her tank top, doing nothing to stave off the need flooding her body. Ugh, Alexi. She couldn’t go to him to finish what they’d started in the living room. Despite the flirtation and bet, she had mixed feelings about just giving in and going with the flow. It was nice to know how he felt, but there was no way she was sacrificing their friendship to give in to lust, so she was on her own.
    She got off the bed and padded across the room, taking care to tread as lightly as she could. Alexi may be a heavy sleeper, but he’d not be asleep yet. She pulled open a drawer and extracted her bag of sex toys. There had been no expectation for the week except to hang out with her best friend. This had always been their yearly no-lovers-or-significant-others week for them. No drama or forced interaction, just a chance to catch up and bond. Now sexual tension had come between them. Damn New Year’s Eve and giving in to desire and the awkward eight months of not discussing that night or confronting what had been happened.
    She needed something to get the job done quickly. She brought her bag over to the bed and dumped out its contents, wincing at the clattering sound before turning on the little nightstand lamp.
    She tiptoed over and checked out in the hall, pausing to listen for any movement or any indication that he was awake. Nothing. She shut the door and went back to her bed. After sorting through her options, she chose her favorite vibrator: purple with a detachable clit stimulator with thrusting and gyrating capabilities. She restored everything to her bag excerpt for the dildo and a bottle of lube.
    Anticipation lit up her nerve endings. The tingles that raced along her inner
