I’m trying, but every time I let myself take in the peaceful curve of her lips, I get the urge to smile. And I should not be smiling. Because when Axel gets here tomorrow and finds out I slept with the girl he’s determined to keep innocent, he’s going to kick my ass. And I deserve it. And believe me, he’s going to find out. Lexi will tell Tess, who will tell Axel, who will then go all pissed-off-surrogate-brother on me. But I can’t bring myself to regret it. Doing so would be a betrayal to her. And to myself. My phone beeps from its place in the pocket of my jeans. Moving as slowly as I can, I shift over, stretching my arm until my fingers can just barely snag the discarded pants from the floor. Lexi stirs, but then snuggles in closer, remaining asleep. I never thought of myself as the kind of guy who would enjoy after-sex snuggles, but Lexi is rapidly teaching me that maybe I don’t know as much about myself as I thought. Because fuck, I don’t want to get out of this bed ever again.
