Knot So Lucky (Destination Love, #1)(17)

I smile as we both get out of the car, and I look over the roof. Fuck, he’s so tall. I raise my chin higher to make eye contact as I speak.

“I knew this would happen. You’re a monster. Fine. But I’m going big with that kind of fortune—McDonald’s. And I’m warning you…I’m ordering a Big Mac and a Coke.”

He whistles, lifting his hands like what I’m saying is really taxing, making me laugh again before he adds, “And I bet you’ll get that drink with light ice too, just like last night. You’re a real ball breaker.”

Hold on a minute. Did he just remember my order…from when we were plastered?

He glances at me as we walk side by side, and suddenly, I can’t stop grinning again. This guy is too much. Between those fucking muscles and that chiseled jaw, along with the memory of the deep-cut v that runs along his stomach all the way down to paradise—I’m completely hot.

But the fact that he casually threw out the one thing no man has ever known has me rethinking this divorce.

I mean…not really, but like, do I have a crush on my future ex-husband?

Yeah, I think I do, with my whole french-fry-loving heart.

Eww. Why is my pussy being problematic? Vegas is for catching cock, not crushes.

“We’re definitely hooking up again.”

The words pop right out of my mouth without permission or apology. But I can’t be blamed for my frankness. Kissing her is all I’ve thought about for the last ten minutes of this damn drive. Well, maybe not just kissing her.

Her head snaps to mine as her mouth falls open.

“Wow. You’re something else,” she breathes, ending with a grin. “So sure of yourself. I have bad news for you though. I make it a rule never to double dip, my fun dick.”

What the fuck? Did she just call me…

I stop at the red light, turning my body to look at her. I hear my phone buzz, but I ignore it. I know it’s Josh. He’s been blowing me up the whole time we’ve been driving because we’re late.

And we’re about to be even later because what she just said is my only focus. I pipe up, almost laughing, “Did you just call me fun dick?”

She nods with a deadpan expression as she answers, “Yeah.”

When I don’t say anything, she smirks, explaining, “You remember when we were kids and there was that candy that like came with the little sugar stick, and you would dip it into the powder and lick it?”

“Yeah…”

I raise my brows, wondering where the hell she’s going with this because suddenly, all I can see is her last night, dragging her silky tongue up the shaft of my cock before deep-throating.

She smirks like she can see my thoughts before continuing. Shit, she probably can. It’s not like I’m trying to hide what I’m thinking.

“I loved that candy,” she continues, rubbing her hands over her exposed thighs, making me do a double take.

Tiny little goose bumps bloom over her skin as her hands drag up and down. I blink, lost in my thoughts. I want to push her legs apart and drag my warm lips up her inner thigh just to see how far I could make those bloom. Maybe all the way until I reached her pussy… Fuck.

I clear my throat and look back up.

“You loved that candy? Sorry, you were saying?”

She nods, amused as she continues. “Yeah…but I could only ever sample one flavor before I’d eat the fuck out of that little stick, and I’d get a stomachache.”

Little? I mouth, knowing she’ll get the joke, as I reach up to lower the air-conditioning.

She does get it because her eyes roll before she adds, “The point is…your cock, Crew, is my Fun Dip. Deliciously flavored but only good for one round, or you’ll end up making me sick.”

I laugh because I literally don’t even know what to say. I have never met a girl like this in all my life. I’m shaking my head, my eyes locked on hers as she smiles back, completely unapologetic.

Jesus, there are so many thoughts traveling through my brain, most of them about how I want to fuck her even more now. How does she do that? Make me want her more while holding me under a fucking sea of rejection.

“Light’s green,” she whispers, her eyes staying connected to mine as she motions to the signal.

I huff a laugh, still partially in shock as the GPS tells me to make a left. The steering wheel is midturn as I glance over at her again.

“Let me get this straight. Now that you’ve tried me, you’ll move on to another flavor?”

“Yep.”

Damn. And people say men are terrible.

“You’re such a player,” I goad, pulling into the parking lot. “A love ’em and leave ’em type.” She rolls her eyes again, not missing the teasing in my voice, especially as I add, “But don’t worry about me. I won’t bother you with my tears—”

She interrupts with a shit-eating grin.

“Let me guess, you’ll wait until you’re in the shower, listening to early 2000 Ashlee Simpson songs before really falling apart.”

“‘Pieces of Me’ got me through some hard times, Eleanor. Have some respect.”

“Oh. My. God,” she scoffs incredulously. “Give me a break. I’m the player? How many real relationships have you had in the last five months…let alone the last five years?”
