Chapter 1: Paint

Chapter 1: Paint

            She was leaning against the window and had been for hours, be she liked being a muse. Landon looked at her again from behind his canvas, watching him work was amazing. But he refused to let her see any of the paintings even though they were of her. When he painted he liked complete silence so she had her iPod playing in her ears. Today had been a long day of dance classes and a few last minute exams. Now it was time for a break from life. While a lot of people spent their spring breaks on a beach with lots of alcohol and no morals, that wasn’t her. Besides Landon was making it a working vacation, not that she minded.

            “Need a break?” He asked looking at her and she nodded.

            “Do you realize what everybody would say if they saw me?” She asked moving to the edge of the table she’d been sitting on.

            “It’s about the art not how sexy you look,” he replied. He came over to the table and she tried to pretend she wasn’t affected by what he said. “Help me with this shirt, its hot in here.”

            “Sure,” she unbuttoned his shirt and tried not to think what was under it. Once it was completely undone she fought the urge to touch his perfect tawny skin. The reason she was taking his shirt off was because his hands were covered in paint, like always. She stood to finish helping him out of it, still fighting urges.

            “Thanks,” he said stepping away. Unless she imagined it he definitely looked down at her in a sexual way. Then again she was wearing almost nothing.

            “Sure you’re up to leaving tonight?” She asked to distract herself; he was her best friend’s brother. They were going with their friends to spend a week in blissful silence at a cabin by the lake.

            “Tired? We can be done, I can finish it without you sitting there,” he said.

            Luxx was wearing a black ballerina skirt and a black lace bra. Basically she looked like a stripper, so why did she let this happen? Because she was a good friend, while he washed his hands and brushes she walked across the room. Well he lived in a big studio so it was all one room really. His messy unmade bed was in one corner and that where she went to lay down. Folding room divider things were there against the wall for “privacy”. In another corner of the room was the “lounge” as he called it. There were chairs couches and a big screen TV and his super expensive stereo system. The kitchen area with a table and chairs was in another corner; thankfully the bathroom was its own room. And everywhere else was his art studio.

            Tonight they were driving up to their friend Porter’s parents’ cabin. The two of them along with Porter of course and Charlie, Tess, Claudia, Garret, Brett with his annoying girlfriend Amanda and Lacey who happened to be Landon’s sister. It was going to be a way to unwind with friends and hopefully minimal drama. But while spending a lot of time with Landon being his muse, she was starting to have inappropriate thoughts. He was Lacey’s brother therefore it was a bad idea. And he was a really good friend, not that he shared these thoughts. She was refusing to admit to herself that maybe she had feelings for him. Landon was a pretty boy artist that could have any girl he wanted.

            “Wanna grab something to eat?” Landon called to her; he was in the kitchen which did not have food in it.

            “Not looking like this,” she replied closing her eyes. She needed to change and maybe sleep a little before the drive.

            “If I said that maybe getting you like this was a little more for my pleasure than my paintings, what would you say?” He asked and she opened her eyes to find him standing over her. This time there was no denying the way he looked at her.

            “Um I would wonder if that was the reason for me being your muse,” she said.

            “No, watching you dance made me want to paint you,” he shrugged. “Today I was curious to see if you would really strip down for me. Now that you have I really need to touch you. Tell me that you don’t want me to. We can pretend I never said a word.”

            This had to be some amazing dream. The way he was looking at her she couldn’t speak. Wasn’t this what she wanted? No, it was crossing a line. He was Lacey’s brother and they had been friends their whole lives. Nobody had to know, did they? While Landon worked nobody was allowed over. Normally everyone was always over and they all had slept here a few times. Luxx could not afford for lust to rule her life. Screw it, she couldn’t say no.

            “Touch me,” she whispered looking him in the eyes.

            “You’re sure?” He asked sitting down on the bed beside her.

            “Do it before I think about it,” she replied.

            Landon kissed her before she could talk herself out of this. Maybe she imagined how kissing him would be and it was better than she could have ever imagined. He pulled her over on top of him and he did touch her. Everywhere, he touched her everywhere and she was in heaven. Of course he was a passionate kisser, he was passionate about everything. His hand found its way under her skirt and pushed aside her panties. She moaned in his mouth, oh his hands, it was so amazing. It had been awhile since she let anyone touch her like this. So she came pretty easy for him. He pulled away from her mouth leaving her panting to kiss down her neck.

            “I want more,” she told him and he froze.

            “Sure?” He asked and she nodded.

            So he flipped her over on the bed so she was on her back and pulled off her wet panties. His jeans went next and he was not wearing underwear. The reason so many girls wanted to have him was pretty obvious and right in front of her. She really wanted to lick him, but she was too anxious. He was between her legs in an instant. Luxx cried out when he entered her, or maybe she whimpered. It made him stop but she shook her head so he continued. Any guy she ever had sex with definitely had nothing on Landon. She drug her nails into his well toned butt while he thrust inside her. Then he kissed her and the world slipped away and all she knew was bliss.

           

After having sex with Landon Luxx was laying in his bed. The sun was setting outside; she stared at the sky through the skylights. Her body was completely satisfied, her mind was just everywhere. This was bad; she was lying naked in his bed. He was lying next to her holding her hand. Neither said a word, she didn’t know what to say. Modeling for him was supposed to be pretty simple and now it wasn’t. How were they supposed to spend a week together after this? She turned her head to look at him and he was looking at her.

            “Regret? That’s what I’m picking up from you,” he said.

            “What do you feel?” She asked and he leaned over to kiss her hand.

            “Honestly I feel good and I’ll only regret it if you do,” he said.

            “Does this mean anything? Or are the rumors true that you have sex with girls that model for you?” She asked and he rolled over on his side so she did too.

            “Do you want it to mean something? Even if that rumor was true you aren’t just some random model, are you? Tell me what you want this to mean.”

            “I don’t know, what does it mean to you?”

            “You have no idea how badly I wanted you, it can mean something just say so. If not then we don’t have to think about it again.”

            “We’re going away with our friends for a week, I would think about it every day.”

            “I can stay here if you don’t want me to go,” he replied.

            “I want you to go and I think I want it to mean something. But I just don’t want to hurt Lacey,” she told him. Before saying anything else he kissed her.

            “Let’s not say anything, at least not until I can properly romance you,” he suggested.

            “Ok,” she nodded letting him pull her closer.

            “We should get showered and dressed and eat something,” he said.

            “Are you saying we should shower together?” She asked and he nodded eagerly.

            “I’m not allowed to paint you naked, huh? Cause I’m picturing you dripping wet,” he said thoughtfully. That was Landon everything inspired him.

            “Hell no, don’t even think about it” she replied.

            “Yes I’m saying we should shower together, we save water and time,” he said with a wicked look. “At some point during this trip I’m going to have to have you again.”

            “Like I can say no to that,” she said. This time she kissed him.

 

 

            Lacey had been suspecting that something was going on with her best friend and her brother for awhile. Luxx was spending a lot of time with Landon locked away. But maybe she was being paranoid because Landon was distant when he worked. Yet now they were all in Porter’s SUV heading up to the cabin. Landon and Luxx were in the back, with Luxx laying her head in his lap. It was because Luxx was asleep. That wasn’t the problem; Luxx was always tired from her thousand dance classes. The problem was Landon absently stroking her hair and her neck. Maybe he wasn’t doing it consciously but it was bothering her.

            “Are you going to keep looking back there?” Porter asked her, Landon had headphones in he couldn’t hear them.

            “Have you seen any of the painting he’s done of her?” She asked instead of answering.

            “Yeah, he didn’t want to show me but I saw. It’s not just an excuse for them to get alone, he’s really painting her. There are like 3 finished and he was starting another today,” Porter told her.

            “I’m being stupid, Luxx has better taste,” she replied and he laughed.

            “Probably,” he said.

            “It would just be really weird, ya know? But I guess it was weird for him when we started dating,” she sighed.

            “What would you do if they were to get together? Landon didn’t really freak out about us. Of course he was too into his work at the time,” he said.

            “I don’t know, it’s never going to happen. If it did I know how he is, that’s why I didn’t think she should be his “muse”. While he’s all inspired he wants to have sex with someone all the time then when he’s not he’s bored. Then he moves on to his next thing and Luxx doesn’t need that. He knows better,” she sighed. Looking back again Landon’s eyes were closes, but he was still touching Luxx and with a content look on his face. She had a bad feeling about this.

            “Lace, you worry too much,” Porter said.  “We’re going to have fun for the next week, no responsibilities just fun.”

            “I know,” she nodded. Still, Landon planned to paint on this trip so he would be with Luxx. Maybe she was overacting.

 

 

            Landon was carefully carrying Luxx into the house, she was knocked out. He knew his sister and Porter were probably going to go have sex or whatever. So he could sleep with Luxx without a problem. He was stupid and shouldn’t be thinking of any of this. But he figured he could find an excuse to share a room with her. Everybody else would be up tomorrow. There were 5 bedrooms and 10 people so he could work it out. Porter and Lacey obviously shared a room and Brett and Amanda would. So that left Claudia, Tess, Garret and Charlie, girls in one room and the guys in the other. All of that meant him and Luxx could share, perfect. Because he knew Tess and Claudia wouldn’t share a room with Garret so there was no choice. If he shared with Garret blood would be shed. Perfect, he got what he wanted.

            “Are you sleeping in the same room as her?” Porter asked him when he went back outside.

            “Probably should,” he shrugged like he hadn’t plotted a little.

            “Yeah, she’s the only girl that would share a room with a guy. And of course you wouldn’t share with Garret,” Porter said thoughtfully. “You could get a room to yourself tonight.”

            “I should probably just get use to Luxx, see if she snores so I can switch if needed.”

            “I’m sure Tess would love to share a bed with you.”

            “Yeah and that’s why it’s not happening,” he shook his head. Tess had a crush on him and he did not feel the same. Obviously since he’d just been with Luxx and he’s just secured an excuse to sleep with her.

            “She still sleep?” Lacey asked when they were done carrying stuff inside.

            “Yeah, I’m bout to join her I’m tired,” Landon said casually.

            “Who are you going to share a room with? There’s only one room with two beds,” Lacey said.

            “I’ll just share with Luxx; it’s not a big deal. All of you have slept in my bed no matter if I was in it or not,” he replied.

            “Why don’t you take the room with the two beds then?” Lacey asked suspiciously.

            “If they do that then Charlie and Garret have to sleep together,” Porter answered.

            “Oh yeah guess that makes sense,” she shrugged. “I’m tired I’m going to bed.”

            “I’ll be up in a minute,” Porter said. With a wave she headed upstairs.

            “If you’re going to have sex with my sister, please don’t let me hear it,” Landon told him.

            “You had sex with Luxx, didn’t you?” Porter asked after he stopped laughing.

            “Don’t tell Lacey but yeah I did twice,” he admitted.

            “No wonder she’s so tired,” Porter shook his head. “You know Lacey will flip out, right? Better lock that door and put a couple chairs against it.”

            “I know, but Lace doesn’t need to know until we decide where this is going. I’m not going to just have sex with her when I know she’s my sister’s best friend. If it goes somewhere then Lacey can be in the loop otherwise it’s not her business,” Landon said. Still his sister was going to be pissed.

            “And when she finds out I knew nothing,” Porter said.

            “Of course cause you’re whipped,” he replied. “Good night.”

            “I can be whipped but you’re afraid of your little sister,” Porter said.

            The fact that one of his friends was in a relationship with his sister didn’t bother him. They had the same friends for the most part and hung out. So he didn’t care if she was with Porter, they were together for the last two years. Lacey would have a hissy fit about him having sex with Luxx. He was more of a mellow person and she was too high-strung. None of that mattered when he went back to the room where Luxx was asleep. The room he picked was the one furthest from the others. She was still asleep when he walked in so admired her for a moment. Her wavy chocolate blue streaked hair was spread out over the pillow. He shut and locked the door and got undressed. This time he had on boxers earlier he had sort of planned to seduce her.

            “What are you doing?” Luxx asked opening her eyes.

            “Getting in bed with you,” he replied. “Do you not want me to?”

            “Cuddle me,” she said and closed her eyes.

            “I definitely will,” he said. He climbed into bed and pulled her against him, she settled against him perfectly. Usually if he had sex with someone he didn’t actually sleep with them unless it was the rare occasion he had a girlfriend. But liked this with Luxx, even if having her this close made him hard. In the morning he was going to have her solve that issue.

 

 

            Luxx woke up and was about to freak out when she found that she wasn’t alone in bed. But then she remembered that it was Landon. Oh yeah it was Landon because she could feel his hard penis against her butt. For a moment she let herself enjoy this. But she wasn’t so sure this was a good idea. Maybe they needed to share a room with different people. Though Tess probably wanted to share a bed with him and that wasn’t happening. Lacey was going to hate her for sleeping with her brother, but what could she do? She already had sex with him and her panties were definitely still in his bed.

            “Regrets?” He asked against her ear.

            “I don’t know,” she replied. “How are we sleeping together right now anyway?”

            “Well when Porter was figuring out how this would work last night, it was a good idea. Lacey knows we’re sharing a room; it made sense to her too. Claudia would never share a room with a guy, I would never share with Tess or Garret, there’s only one room with two beds and neither you nor Tess would share with Garret either,” he explained.

            “I could share with Charlie,” she said. If it was possible he became stiffer behind her, only it was his whole body this time.

            “Well I thought I had a genius plan but whatever,” he said.

            “I’m joking Landon,” she told him. It surprised her because he did sound hurt.

            “We don’t have to share a room if you don’t want to, it’s ok. I never asked you if you wanted to I just assumed.”

            “Landon, it’s ok that you masterminded a plan to get me to sleep with you.”

            “Luxx, I like you and it gives us a chance to be alone,” he said and she turned over.

            “Really, its fine and I don’t mind waking up to you,” she said. She kissed him before she thought too much about all this.

            “So can I touch you today?” He asked and she laughed.

            “Don’t ask, just touch me cause I know you want to,” she replied. She rubbed her palm against his massive erection.

            “You keep doing that and I’m going to have to get inside you,” he warned.

            “Good,” she said looking him in the eyes. He pinned her down and kissed her.

            Landon pulled off her t-shirt and for moment he was staring at her. It made her feel a little self conscious but then he kissed her again. Even before the modeling thing he’d definitely seen her in her underwear so it wasn’t a big deal. He kissed all over her body and she liked it. Sharing a room was a very bad idea but how could she say no? He yanked off her sweat pants and panties and then went her bra. She used her feet to pull his boxers down while she was kissing him. There was so much she wanted to do to him, but it would have to wait. He pulled her legs apart and again he paused looking down there. In one good hard thrust he was all the way in and she had to bite her lip to keep quiet.

            “Oh my God, Landon,” she whimpered while he worked her body.

            “We have to be quiet,” he warned. But he groaned while going harder.

            “Kiss me,” she sighed and he did.

            They kissed and kissed and kissed then came a massive orgasm came on. She felt it in every part of her body and then he joined her. He rolled them over so he wasn’t on top of her. For a moment she let herself just feel good about this whole thing. And she let him hold her. Eventually reality set in and she remembered that Lacey was here in this house. Didn’t her friendship mean more to her than this? Obviously Landon could sense her regrets because he pulled her closer and held her tight. Like he thought she was about to run away. Technically she couldn’t go anywhere; it would look suspicious if she did.

            “Do you want me to switch rooms? You can share with Charlie and I will share with Garret and try not to kill him,” Landon said. He was staring up at the ceiling.

            “I just don’t want to hurt Lacey,” she replied.

            “What about you? Stop thinking about Lacey and think about what you want and what will make you happy,” he said. Now he was looking at her and she couldn’t look away.

            “Just don’t break my heart,” she whispered.

            “Never,” he said and kissed her. “Luxx, how long have we known each other? I never want to hurt you. But I would love to kill that a*****e that did.”

            “Don’t, this is supposed to be fun and I can’t go there,” she said.

            “I’m sorry,” he said looking guilty. “Why don’t we shower and get dressed and take a walk?”

            “I should get paid for being your model,” she said and he laughed.

            “Muse and I will definitely pay you. We can take some pictures and scout some locations. And if you happen to wear a dress or skirt without any panties, I wouldn’t mind.”

            “We’ll see,” she replied.

            Luxx got out of bed even though he tried not to let her. She pulled her hair into a ponytail and put her clothes back on. It wasn’t like she could wander down the hall to the bathroom naked. Then she took out clothes to wear and headed out. Landon was still in bed naked and she was tempted to go back. In her last relationship it wasn’t about fun or happiness. But that wasn’t something she could think about. Besides she wasn’t in a relation with Landon, it was just something. She just needed to feel good and he made her feel good. Inside the bathroom she locked the door and pulled out her phone to call her mom.

            “Luxx-Len,” her mother answered. “You did not call me to say you made it there last night. I was ready to come up there.”

            “I fell asleep in the car and I didn’t wake up, Landon carried me in,” she explained.

            “Ok I guess you are forgiven, so what’s up?” Her mother asked.

            “Um I had sex with Landon,” she sort of blurted out.

            “What? When did this happen?” Piper Lenox was one of those mothers that was young and friends with her children. Luxx was very thankful for that.

            “A few minutes ago and twice yesterday,” she admitted.

            “Wow, I think I really am speechless I have no idea what to say. Um why? I thought he was just doing paintings of you?”

            “He was and I don’t know why he said he likes me and basically like he wants us to be together. We are sharing a room here, I was sleep but he convinced Porter and Lacey it was a good idea. Should I really do this? I’m afraid to let this happen.”

            “Do you have feelings for Landon?”

            “I’ve always liked him and he’s a good friend and we have been spending a lot of time together. Watching him paint is like amazing even if he won’t let me see. He’s so passionate about his art, I guess I do have feelings for him,” Luxx said. When exactly did that happen?

            “If you both have feelings for each other then go for it. Lacey will understand,” her mother said. “Landon is a good guy, and of course I know his parents.”

            “Ok, I guess I just needed somebody to tell me its ok,” she said.

            “That’s why I’m here baby, now go have fun and practice safe sex. Even though I love you and I could not live without you I can’t be a grandmother. And it would kill Daddy.”

            “Mom, the last thing on earth I want is a child, don’t worry.”

            Talking to her mom did make her feel a lot better about the Landon thing. Her mother was a total free spirit and a great person to just be around. She could talk to her about anything and everything. When Piper was 16 she got pregnant and when her parents thought she should go for adoption, she didn’t. The father didn’t stick around and Luxx had met him only a few times ever in her life. But that was ok with her because she had a father that loved her. From the story she heard Marco Lenox was her mother’s best friend. He also ended up in a situation where he was a teen parent. So they had a lot in common and his girlfriend decided she didn’t to be a mother.  Marco had Rueben and Piper had Luxx and they decided to live together. It took her a few years to realize that she loved him, but they were always a family.  

Piper was a wild child and having a baby did not slow her down, she lived for adventure. Luxx was a lot tamer than her mother; she was more like her father. Rueben was ironically more like Piper. The whole reason her name was “Luxx” was because her mother thought having an “X” in her name would be neat so there were two. Then she became Luxx Lenox when her parents were married so people called her Luxx-Len. She was very close to both her parents and still lived at home by choice. Why would she really want to leave her family? She really couldn’t leave her little sister Gigi, home was a great place to be. These days she realized her life was very good and hopefully it was about to get better.

 

Landon wanted to go shower with Luxx but he respected her need for privacy. So he went to shower in the bathroom downstairs. By the time he was dressed Porter and Lacey were up and in the kitchen. Sooner or later their friends would arrive and things would get crazy. He liked having a close group of friends, they kept him grounded. Art was his life and actually getting paid for it was pretty amazing. For as long as he could remember he loved everything about art and expressing himself. It wasn’t just painting; he was into drawing, photography and music.

When he saw Luxx come down stairs wearing a long flowy black skirt and a blue halter top that matched her hair, he stared. She was beautiful no matter what she wore. What he wanted to do was kiss her but he restrained himself. He did just have her but he wanted her again already. Porter gave him a look and shook his head. Thankfully Lacey was his sister and therefore paid him little attention. If he kept looking at Luxx his secret would be out.

“We’re going into town to buy some groceries, wanna come?” Lacey asked Luxx.

“No, your slave driver brother is making me work,” Luxx told her.

“He should pay you,” Porter said.

“Maybe I will,” Landon replied. They were all in the kitchen and he tried really hard not to look at Luxx too much.

“Claudia called to say they will be here soon, if Garret doesn’t kill Amanda first,” Lacey informed. “I guess we should get going before they arrive.”

“Yeah,” Porter sighed. “Don’t have too much fun.” He picked up his keys and definitely gave Landon a look.

“See ya later,” Luxx said smiling.

“Bye,” Lacey said she did look a tad bit suspicious but followed Porter out.

“Finally I have you to myself,” Landon said. He did at least wait until he heard the car pull away before he kissed her.

“How can you want sex again?” She asked because he was pressed against her so she could feel his erection.

“Um cause you’re sexy as hell and I’m a man?” He replied and she laughed. “Honestly, I’m not usually this horny but its cause of you.”

“I don’t know if I should be flattered or worried, I can’t have sex with you every second,” she said blushing a little.

“Did you honor my request for no panties?” He asked and her cheeks were flushed when she nodded. “We have a minute so I wanna give you something.”

“What?” She asked looking worried then he picked her up and put her on the counter.

“I’ve been wanting to do this for way too long,” he said and she stared.

Instead of explaining he grabbed a chair and positioned himself in between her legs. Her eyes widened when he lifted her skirt to spread her legs open. Oh yeah he’d wanted to do this for a while. Luxx was a sexy woman; before he started painting her he’d wanted her. But he told himself he needed not to go there. Lacey made him go to one of Luxx’s dance shows and he fell for her completely watching her dance. Then she became his inspiration and he got a lot of alone time with her. The more time he spent with her the more he liked her and now here he was. Licking her to an orgasm, it was funny how things like that worked out.

Luxx just seemed like an innocent good girl and for the most part she was. But he liked her like this panting and moaning and calling his name. For as much as he wanted to have sex with her right now he just wanted to give her pleasure. When he was done she was laying limp on the counter with her eyes closed. So he watched her lying there looking like an angel. She opened her eyes and looked at him before sitting up. Unexpectedly she kissed him and it wasn’t just a little peck. And it was her that was reaching down to undo his jeans. Most of his relationships were completely about sex; he didn’t want that with her. Even though everything she did and everything about her turned him on.

“We don’t have to uh have sex,” he said trying to think. Right now with her touching him and stroking him there was only blood flowing to one part of his body.

“Do you always have condoms ready in your pocket?” She asked and he laughed and then moaned a little.

“Sometimes, yesterday I wanted to seduce you so I was prepared. And I was planning to get some morning lovin today so I put it under my pillow,” he explained. All she did was laugh and then she pulled one out of his pocket. “I like to be prepared.”

“Oh I bet you do,” she said. She was the one to open the condom and put it on too. And she wrapped her legs around his waist while guiding him in. His little dancer was giving him a hell of a work out. Four times in two days? This was only the beginning of the day; he was going to be worn out tonight.

 

Luxx was in a very good mood while Landon was taking pictures. He liked to paint live people but he did paint his photos too. Half the pictures were of the scenery and the other half were of her. They had both been up to the cabin before but this time he wanted to work on art instead of drinking and whatever else.  She didn’t mind it gave her something to do and she liked being alone with him. He stopped taking pictures for a minute to make out with her. This was like a dream and she didn’t want to wake up. She also didn’t want to keep it a secret; she’d already kept enough secrets in her life.

“You are so beautiful,” he told her.

“I like it here, it’s so quiet,” she said looking out over the lake.

“Yeah, it could be romantic you know,” he said.

“How would you like to romance me? I believe you said something about that yesterday,” she replied. It had been very long since she had any kind of romance in her life.

“I’m thinking of a picnic, would you like that?” He asked and she nodded. “We can just say we’re going out to work or something. I’ll take care of everything all you have to do is be your gorgeous self.”

“Ok,” she said smiling. It had been awhile since a guy complemented her like he did.

“Luxx Lenox!” Someone yelled and they turned to see Charlie waving at them.

“Can’t I spend a little time alone with you? How am I supposed to convince you to be my girlfriend?” Landon whispered but she couldn’t answer because Charlie came down. They were sitting down on the dock and she really wanted to ask something.

“Luxx-Len what’s this I hear about my girlfriend sharing a room with someone else?” Charlie asked giving Landon a dirty look.

“I must be trying to steal her from you,” Landon shrugged. “I was not sharing a room with Garret or Tess, so I’ll be bothering Luxx.”

“Guess it could be worse,” Charlie shook his head. “Girlfriend, are you going to come help me unpack? It’s been two days and I need you.”

“Landon, do you mind? We could come back out later,” Luxx said.

“Go ahead, I’ll be up soon,” Landon said. His eyes said that he didn’t want her to go back with Charlie but he wasn’t worried. Of course not Charlie was gay and so not really her boyfriend but he called her his girlfriend.

“Oh and Landon,” Charlie said. “Just because you are sleeping in a bed with my girl doesn’t mean you can touch her.”

“Yeah cause you want to touch her,” Landon laughed.

“No, but you should keep your hands off,” Charlie replied.

“While I’d love for you to fight over me, let’s go Charlie,” Luxx said beyond amused. “I’ll see you later Landon.” She tried not to look him in the eyes but she did anyway.

“I’ll see you later roomie,” he said giving her a look.

“Bye,” Charlie said pulling Luxx away. Part of her wanted to stay there with Landon.

“How was the drive?” Luxx asked as they were walking back through the woods.

“The usual bickering, I should have left with you. Then maybe you could have explained why you were kissing Landon,” Charlie said and she stopped. “Yes, baby cakes I saw you, explain.”

“Did anybody else see?” She asked a little worried.

“No, I came to find you alone,” he said.

“I like him,” she whispered.

“Something told me I shouldn’t have let you go model for him,” he shook his head. “Landon is hot, we both know that, but where’s it going? I want you to be happy but can you be happy with him? The guy has a lot of action in his bed and I can’t let him hurt you. We need to stay focused Luxx.”

“Yes I know,” she sighed. Leave it to Charlie to bring in the logic. Her mother didn’t even consider the logic part, what did that say?

“You had sex with him?” He asked and she nodded.

“Just twice yesterday and twice today, he says he has feeling for me,” she admitted.

“Four times in two days? Wow, the guy has some stamina I’ll give him that. So I have to know does he have a big penis?”

“Yes, very big and he knows how to please.”

“Have a fling and have fun but don’t let it get serious.”

“Landon says he wants it to be something and not a fling.”

“Really? That f****r, you want it too, don’t you?”

“It would be nice for someone besides you to want to be with me.”

“Does Lacey know you’re doing her brother?”

“No, and I feel bad about that but it literally just happened.”

“Baby I worry about you,” Charlie said giving her a sad look.

Luxx and Charlie had been friends and dance partners forever. From a young age Charlie knew who he was and what he wanted. He was always there for her and she needed that a lot recently. They had plans that would have them together to dance professionally. Then eventually they wanted to have a dance school. It was why they were both getting degrees in business in addition to a lot of dance classes. Charlie was her best friend in the world and she could tell him anything. She couldn’t tell Lacey completely everything especially her new secret. But maybe she needed to, she really hated secrets.

“It’s just Landon, I know him and have known him most of my life,” she said.

“Be careful, ok? I love you and I want you happy even if it’s with that man-w***e Landon. Now let’s go cause I am starving,” he said taking her hand. She looked back to the dock where Landon was standing with his back to them staring out at the water. Was this really what she wanted to do?
