leaving when all was said and done, he was damn well going to go against his own best interests, call in a few favors and personally oversee Alexis’s restoration project, even if it ended up being the death of him.
Chapter Six
As Sky and Leo exchanged vows in the town’s century-old church, a beautifully restored lighthouse, Lex couldn’t help but look at the man seated beside her. Stunning was the only word she could find to describe him. With his hair cut short, and a suit that fit his gorgeous body to perfection, Sam looked like he’d stepped straight out of GQ . But not only did he look different, he seemed different. Even though he was still easygoing and laid back, there was a new seriousness about him.
Needing something to do with her hands, she smoothed down the bodice of the dress she’d bought yesterday, having asked Tabby to take her shopping to pick out a few new dresses that she knew Sam would like. She’d paid a little more than she would have liked, considering she was flat broke, but Sam’s reaction when he saw her was well worth it.
After the wedding, they all attended the reception and as she sipped champagne and spoke to the women, she could feel Sam’s eyes on her. She met his glance from across the yard, and when warmth moved through her, she wondered how she’d ever be able to be with another man after him.
He cut through the throngs of people and slipped in beside her. His strong arm curled around her waist and she leaned in to him, never having felt such an easy intimacy with anyone.
“Want to get out of here?” he whispered into her ear.
As much as she was enjoying herself, Sam would be leaving town in a couple of weeks and she wanted to enjoy every minute with him that she could. She could hear speculative whispers from the women as Sam whisked her away and back to her house, but she didn’t care. All she cared about was spending every minute she could with this man.
Without speaking, he took her straight to the bedroom and closed the door behind him. Dark eyes met hers, and she was sure she’d never seen him look so intense, so serious. “You look beautiful in this dress,” he said, taking a small step toward her. “But I seriously can’t wait to get you out of it.”
He slipped his hand around her back and drew down the zipper. His mouth found hers as the dress slid to the floor. He groaned, and murmured into her mouth, “Why is it I can’t get enough of you?”
Before she could answer he gathered her into his arms and took her to the cot. He made quick work of his clothes, sheathed himself, and a few minutes later he was inside her, pumping hard and taking her higher than she’d ever been before. There was no denying their sex was amazing the first time, but the more they got to know each other outside the bedroom, the better and better things got between the sheets.
“Sam,” she whimpered into his ear as her orgasm approached. “I can’t get enough of you either.”
As soon as the words left her mouth she climaxed and when her pussy squeezed his cock, he threw his head back and stilled, releasing high inside her.
After he discarded the condom, they held each other tight until they both dozed off, only to wake again in the wee hours of the night to make love again.
Soon enough Lex woke to the sound of voices inside her house. Many, many voices, to be precise. Both male and female. She pulled the sheet up and looked at Sam, who was propped up on his elbow and watching her carefully.
“What’s going on? Is there someone in the house again?”
He gave her a lopsided grin. “Oh, did I forget to tell you?”
“Forget to tell me what?”
“Your plans were approved and I gathered everyone who was available to help get this place done by your deadline.”
“You…you did what?” she asked around the lump forming in her throat. She climbed from her cot and put her hand on her chest when she caught the crowd milling around outside and examining the exterior.
