Chapter 8

Fucking Lexi. Every time I thought we were getting closer, she’d run. I wanted to know more about her, but how could I if the only time I got to spend with her was when we were fucking? Not that I was complaining about the fucking. That was top tier, but I wanted more.
I stayed in the on-call room for a few minutes after she had left. I needed time to get my raging hard-on under control and regain my composure. After all, I still needed to play Santa for the kids. I spent the rest of the day focused on them and trying my best not to think about Lexi.
After I left the hospital for the day, though, she consumed my thoughts, so I went home and finished up her tattoo sketch. Needing a reason to see her again that didn’t involve sex, I sent off a text and attached the octopus I’d drawn for her tattoo.
Me
Hey, idk if you are still interested in that tattoo, but here’s what I came up with. Let me know if you want to come by the shop to work out placement.
There, I kept it professional. Her reply came moments later.
Lexi
Wow, Brando. That looks great. Okay, I guess I could stop by this week. Let me know when.
Lexi
Also-today was hot AF, but if you tell anyone, I swear to God I will cut off that perfect cock of yours, have it stuffed, and use it without you.
I laughed so hard that I snorted.
Me
Perfect, huh?
Lexi
OMG, don’t go getting a big head now.
Me
Apparently, it’s too late for that, Sweetheart.
Lexi
Seriously, I know it shouldn’t matter, but I made a promise and now I feel shitty about breaking that promise.
Me
Understood. Plus, I’d like to keep my dick where it is, so I’ll keep my mouth shut. I’ll look at my schedule and text you a few options for when you can come in this week.
Lexi
Okay, sounds good. Also, if you need me to finish what I started earlier, I’m game.
I stared down at my phone in disbelief. Did she just offer up a booty call?
Me
Sweetheart, are you saying you miss me already?
Lexi
Why do you have to be so annoying?
Me
You say annoying. Some may say charming.
Lexi
More like infuriating.
Me
Don’t be a brat, Lexi, or I won’t give you what you want.
Lexi
Listen here, Brando, I’ve been doing fine without you. I don’t need you to get off. I’m perfectly capable of finding someone else to help me out.
Me
See what happens if you do. Try me.
Lexi
Bet.
This fucking woman was going to be the death of me.
