head. She looks around quickly, eyes darting left and right before she dives her hand down into her dress and pulls out chocolate cake crumbs from dessert.
Damn, I love that girl.
Being careful not to run into any more tables, I weave my way back through, pluck up her hand, and pull her to her feet.
“Already, huh?” She laughs, following me into the lobby. I turn her away from the elevators and push on the exit door.
“I thought I’d help you clean out your dress,” I tease, taking her to one side of the building.
“Dang it,” she says, “I thought I was being totally inconspicuous about that.”
I whip her in front of me, use my body to press her back up to the building wall, and meet her lips in a kiss that would embarrass porn stars.
“Ew, Ryan…” she says, killing my ego. “You’re juicy tonight.”
“I’ll fix it.” I exaggerate a slurp, rumbling my lips, and she laughs and pushes on my chest. Once I’m sure I’m spit free—or at least not as wet—I dive back in for a small peck.
“Is that better?”
“Did you kiss me?” she teases. “I barely felt it.”
I tap another to her lips, pressing so hard and making an extra loud popping noise when I let go.
“Better?”
“You’re a buttface.”
“Ha, ha, you’re kissing a buttface.”
She rolls her eyes. “And you’re twelve years old.”
“Hey now, I’m at least fourteen.” I smirk at her, and she grabs at my jacket and pulls me in.
“Did you get a room?”
I shake my head, our noses rubbing together. “Sorry. Pretty sure they’re all taken.”
“Guess we’ll just have to improvise.”
“Because that always goes so well for us,” I joke, remembering all our other spontaneous attempts at making this happen. I think one of the reasons her mom isn’t that fond of me is because she may have seen my half-naked ass running across her yard when she came home early from work.
Lex lets out a long sigh, the warmth of her breath blowing over my neck. She traces a gold sparkly nail up and over my boutonniere. “I miss you. It’s been a long week.”
My head falls, landing helplessly against her shoulder.
“Okay. But let it be on the record that I am not the horniest one in this relationship.”
“Um… sure you aren’t.” She laughs, ducks under my arm, and starts walking back to the front of the building.
And I swear she wiggles her ass with extra oomph on purpose.
Chapter 7
Lexie
I already told Mom I’d be staying at Kaylee’s so there’s no way I’m going home. A night with my boyfriend is what I had planned and a night with my boyfriend is what I’m going to get. I look down at my ‘I Reached My Gold’ nails and I smile because I know I got this. I’m totally going for the win.
I’m not even at the door before Ryan’s hand is on my butt. My little sway totally worked how I hoped it would. He leans down and presses a kiss to my neck as we make our way back to the dance floor. Before we do anything I want to have fun with my favorite people.
Kaylee and Nate are in the middle of a crowd busting so many awesome moves, my eyes can’t keep up. Brett tries to mimic them with his date, but drops the poor girl. Luckily she lands on her bottom where she has a little cushion. I take Ryan’s hand and drag him out to the center to join our friends. “Show me what you got.”
“Be ready to be wowed,” he says and snakes his hand around my waist, yanking me tight against him.
“Wow,” I mock.
He dips me and kisses the sarcasm right off my lips. Fingers wrap around my hand and pull me away from Ryan. Kaylee throws her arm around me and tosses the other one in the air. We sing our little hearts out and dance until our feet can’t bear another jump.
Before we leave, I need to get Brett to help me out. I find him sliding his date’s shoes back on her feet. “Hey, can I ask you a favor?”
Brett looks up with a raised eyebrow and I lean down to whisper my plan in his ear.
“Be annoying, I can do
