Bachelor Unleashed - Brenda Jackson [65]
She shook her head and then turned her attention to the objects outside the car window, refusing to go there. The only reason she was thinking such things was because of how good she felt. She had enjoyed a good party and now she was looking forward to an even better night. That had to be it. It couldn’t be any other reason.
“What are you doing next weekend, Farrah?”
She glanced back over at Xavier. “Why do you want to know?”
“I have tickets to the Nutcracker and was wondering if you’d go with me?”
She drew in a deep breath. Now was the time to tell him that although she had enjoyed herself with him tonight, they shouldn’t overdo it. But for some reason, she couldn’t fix her mouth to say that. Especially when she enjoyed the Nutcracker.
“Yes, I’d love to go with you,” she heard herself saying.
He smiled. “Good.”
Farrah looked back out of the car’s window, not sure if it was good or not.
Chapter 16
Farrah tried shifting to another position and discovered she couldn’t, due to the masculine body still connected to hers. Ever since Xavier had stopped using a condom, he liked drifting off to sleep with his manhood still inside of her and one of his legs thrown over hers. More than once over the past few weeks, she had awakened from the feel of his erection stretching her inner muscles as it enlarged inside of her.
It was hard to believe that next week would be Christmas, and so far she had been Xavier’s date to four parties and to the Nutcracker. Since they ran into most of the same people at all the events, she knew everyone thought they were having a hot and heavy love affair… and she would have to agree with them.
That thought no longer bothered her, and each and every day she was beginning to feel more and more comfortable with him and how their relationship was going. Just last week he’d flown her to New York to spend a few days with him while he’d wrapped up business there. She had stayed with him at his home, spending her days shopping and her nights in his bed.
Needing to go to the bathroom, she tapped him on the shoulder and his sleep-laden sexy eyes stared into hers. “I have to go to the bathroom,” she whispered.
He lifted his leg off hers and disconnected their bodies before flipping on his stomach. From the sound of his even breathing, he had gone back to sleep within seconds. She smiled as she eased out of the bed. Poor baby, she thought. Evidently she had worn him out.
The light shining from the bathroom showed their clothes were scattered all over the floor. They had begun stripping the moment they had entered her bedroom. How they’d made it up the stairs with their clothes on was beyond her.
After using the bathroom, she was returning to the bed and decided to gather up the scattered clothing along the way and toss them on a chair. She picked a business card off the floor that evidently had fallen out of Xavier’s jacket. She was about to put it back inside the pocket when she read the words someone had scrawled on the back.
Call me. You won’t regret it.
She frowned when she flipped the card over. Marti Goshay, Attorney-at-Law.
Her frown deepened. Although she didn’t know Marti Goshay personally, she knew of her. And she’d known from that night at the party that Morgan and Lena had guessed the woman had the hots for Xavier. Farrah had heard from Natalie that Xavier and Marti had dated a while back, and from the looks Marti had had in her eyes whenever she’d glanced at Xavier, the woman wanted him back.
Farrah had been talking to Natalie and Vanessa that particular night and had seen Marti hand Xavier her business card. He had taken it, and at the time Farrah had wondered why. Now she wanted to know why he’d kept it. That had been almost two weeks ago. Hadn’t he claimed he wanted a long-term affair with her because he was tired of women coming on to him? So why hadn’t he let Marti Goshay know he was already involved?
Not even bothering to fight back the anger and jealousy she suddenly felt, she quickly moved to the bed to tap
