My chi tea was called out just in time as Dodge turned and glared at me.
Spinning on my heels, I walked up and grabbed my drink and sauntered on over toward the hot guy in the corner. Sitting down, he glanced up and smiled. Trying to appear sexy in my Victoria’s Secret boyfriend pants and black Sam Hunt T-shirt, I smiled back.
Peeking up at the counter, I noticed Dodge was still talking to Jackie. Probably trying to pick her up. Asshole. Rolling my eyes, I let out a sigh and took a sip of my drink as I eye fucked the hell out of the hot guy. Tilting his head, he gave me a wink, stood up and walked over to me. Before he had a chance to sit down, Dodge walked up and kissed me on the cheek.
“Baby, you have no idea how much I missed you in my bed last night,” Dodge purred as he moved his lips down to my neck and licked it. Licked it! He fucking licked my neck.
Hot guy froze, as did I. What in the hell?
Raising his eyebrows, hot guy changed direction and headed right on out of Starbucks. I wanted to jump up and start shouting out for him to come back. Glancing up to Dodge, I shot him daggers.
“Do you have any idea how much I loathe you right now?”
Laughing, he pulled out a chair and sat down.
Dropping my mouth open, I said, “I don’t remember inviting you to sit down, but now that you chased off the only hot guy in the room . . . please, have a seat.”
Dodge chuckled and placed his hand over his heart as if mortally wounded. “Ouch.”
“What do you want anyway?” I asked as I took a sip of my tea.
Leaning back in his chair, Dodge rested his right foot on his left knee, and the way he stared at me caused my body to shudder. I prayed like hell he hadn’t noticed.
“You mentioned you were off; I figured you still came here for your morning coffee, so I took a chance.”
Pressing my lips in a fine line, I shook my head. “You took a chance? Did you need to talk to me about my divorce?”
Dodge’s smile lit up the room. God how I loved that damn smile of his. Ugh. Why did he have to be so damn good looking? And that stupid scruff on his face. I wondered what it would feel like against my skin? I bet he could take a girl to heaven and back with just the touch of that scruff against . . .
“Sierra? Are you even listening to me?”
Shaking my head to clear my dirty thoughts, I smiled. “No. Sorry. I was thinking about the hot guy who just left.”
Dodge dropped his right leg and leaned forward. “Needing to get laid, huh?”
Placing my drink to my lips, I took a sip and let out a soft low moan. “Mmm . . . so damn good. What were you asking me, dickhead?”
Dodge laughed and it rolled through my body and warmed me instantly. Ugh. He needed to leave. “I’ll take that as a yes, you need to get laid.”
“You wanting the job, Dodge? After all, I heard you were good at making people forget things.”
Dodge’s smile faded and he sat back like he remembered I had witnessed his interlude with Ryn. Maybe I do have an effect on Mr. Walker after all. “W-what?” Dodge stuttered.
“Me getting laid, are you up for it?” I said with a purr.
Dodge swallowed hard as he searched for his voice. Was that sweat forming on his brow? Hiding my smile, I raised my eyebrow and waited for my answer.
“I’m your lawyer, Sierra. We need to . . . um . . . stay focused.”
Oh. So that’s how he wants to play this. “Focused, huh? Got it.” Standing, I gave Dodge a smile. “Well, since we don’t have any business to talk about, I think I’m going to go search for another hot guy. According to my lawyer, I need to get laid. Have a good day, Dodge.”
Feeling his eyes burning into my back, I held my giggle in until I walked out of Starbucks. Making my way down the street, I headed back to my house when I heard Jackie calling out my name.
“Sierra! Wait!”
Stopping, I turned and waited for her. “Did I forget something?”
Smiling, she shook her head. “Oh, no! You didn’t forget anything, but I wanted to ask you if you’d like to go out tonight with me and a few friends of mine. It’s girls’ night.”
Girls’ night? I hadn’t had a night out with the girls since Ryn moved. “Okay! Sounds like fun. Where and what time should I be there?”
Jackie smiled and did a little jump. “Eight, and we’re all meeting at 219 West.”
Grinning, I said, “I’ll be there.”
Jacking clapped. “Be ready to spice things up!”
Tossing my head back with a laugh, I gave her a thumbs-up. “Yes! Totally spicing it up on all fronts.”
