Falling For My Best Friend's Brother(41)

“Man, girl, you look good enough to eat.” She paused and licked her lips again. “And I’m hungry, you wanna show me some sugar?”

“Oh my God, no, just no!” I started laughing again. “You will never get a woman with words like that. No to the no, to the hell, to the no.”

“Haha, that bad?” She grinned at me and then laughed. “Yeah, that was pretty bad. Thank God, I’m a woman and have Xander.”

“Yeah, you lucked out with Mr. Miracle Tongue.” I smiled. “Smooth with his words and his tongue.”

“Well, not always smooth with either.” She winked and I groaned.

“Liv!”

“What?” She laughed. “I’m being honest. He’s not always smooth. Sometimes he’s rough and bumpy.”

“Liv, TMI.” I groaned again and then froze as the doorbell rang. He was here. Aiden was finally here and I was going on what I thought was my first official date with him. I wanted to scream. “Liv, I think I’m going to faint,” I said, my throat suddenly dry.

“Why?” She looked concerned. “Do you need some water?”

“I’m going on a date with Aiden,” I groaned yet again as the doorbell rang another time. “Why is he so impatient?”

“Because he’s Aiden.” She rolled her eyes. “He has the patience of a dog.”

“I guess I’d better go and let him in.”

“Yeah, do that before he bangs the door down.” She made a face and then gave me a sweet smile. “You really do look gorgeous though, Alice. Aiden is lucky to be able to take you out.”

“Thanks, Liv,” I said and hurried to the front door. I opened it quickly to find Aiden standing there with his hand in the air. “You weren’t about to ring the doorbell again, were you?”

“I was.” He smiled and looked me up and down, his eyes widening as his gaze fell to my tall red heels. “You look nice tonight, Alice.”

“That’s it?” Liv walked over to the front door. “She looks nice?”

“Yes, she looks nice.” Aiden looked at Liv with an annoyed expression. “Don’t you think so?”

“Alice looks bloody gorgeous,” Liv said and shook her head. “Like a million bucks.”

“Thanks, Liv.” I laughed and I could see Aiden shaking his head at his sister.

“Yes, Alice, you do look beautiful tonight.” He reached his hand forward. “Very, very beautiful.”

“That’s more like it,” Liv said, and he groaned.

“Alice, are you ready to go?” Aiden muttered. “I’m afraid if I have to listen to my sister anymore tonight, I might go crazy.”

“I don’t have time to drive you crazy tonight, dear brother. Xander is taking me out to dinner as well.” Liv smiled at her brother and then continued. “And I know he’s taking me to a nice restaurant, not a Burger King.”

“More the fool him, then,” Aiden joked, and Liv glared at him.

“Let’s go,” I said and turned around to give Liv a quick hug. “See you later.”

“Bye, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do,” she said, and I quickly opened my handbag and let her see the contents. “Or maybe not.” She giggled as she saw the handcuffs.

“What are you two giggling about now?” Aiden said with an interested expression, but I quickly closed my handbag again and turned back towards him.

“Nothing,” I said innocently and hurried out of the front door. “Let’s go and eat. I’m starving.”

“I’m feeling pretty hungry too,” he said, and I felt his hand slip around my waist as we made our way out of the building. “I’m just not sure what I’ll get to eat yet.”

We made our way to his car, and Aiden hurried forward so that he could open the passenger door to his what appeared to be a new black Mercedes C300. “Not driving your Lincoln Navigator anymore?” I asked in surprise.

“No, it’s at home.”

“Oh, so this is a second car?” I raised an eyebrow at him. He had a Lincoln and a Mercedes now?

“Yeah.” He nodded and then closed the door after I slid into the luxurious tan leather seat. It felt plush and warm against my bare legs, and I sank back into the seat with a happy smile on my face.

“Why did you get another car?” I asked him as he got behind the driver’s seat.

“Because I wanted to.” He shrugged. “Why? Don’t you like Mercedes?”

“They seem fine. I’ve never been in one before.”

“Oh. They’re very smooth.” He turned on the engine and looked over at me. “Hear how it purrs for me?”
