    Lexi Edwards



    The blonde huffed at the stereotype, frankly he was correct but she wasn’t going to give him anymore of an ego boost, and furrowed her brow in confusion as he told her to stop doing something. She really wasn’t sure what he was on about and he had moved quickly on before she could question him. It was such a cliché but Lexi’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat as he called her pretty. Mildly annoyed at herself for being that easily charmed, she rolled her eyes at him. She had been correct, he wasn’t used to being rejected and why would he be? He was clearly handsome and wealthy and most likely came from some small southern town where he had been the golden boy that all the girls fawned over. The offer of a drunk, though he probably had more in mind, piqued her interest. Maybe if she just had one with him, he would give and they would both be able to go their separate ways. She was shocked as he guessed her rule – was she that easy to read?


    Lexi was quite for awhile as she weighed her choices but his correct guess of her golden rule shocked – Was she that easy to read?- enough to accept his offer, almost as if to prove him wrong. “Alright, fine!” She sighed deeply, throwing her hands in the air in exasperation, “Fine. One drink. And I mean it. One drink.” There was a warning to her tone and despite her annoyed expression, she felt excitement at the prospect of being around him a little longer. Even if he did annoy the hell out of her. “I’ll go get my stuff. Just..stay here.”

    Christian nodded his head, understanding. He inwardly did a fist bump into the air. “One drink,” he agreed, though he silently hoped she’d stay for more. He watched as her hips swayed back and forth as she walked backstage. He impatiently waited for her to come back, ready to finally have a moment to himself with her. He looked around at the club, and just about everyone else had left already. He was walking around the place, admiring the decor. For a strip club, there was quite a bit of elegance to it. Nothing like he was used to.

    Lexi Edwards


    Backstage, Lexi hurriedly tried to pack up her things without drawing the attention of the other girls who were happily chatting away. If they knew what she was doing, she would never live it down. She had always been so zealous and proud over that stupid rule. The realization that she didn’t even know his name crossed her mind and she wondered if she was doing the right thing. Well, if he turned out to be a deranged psychopath and she was murdered, at least her name and picture would be in the newspaper. Throwing a white, short dress that hugged her curves on, she studied herself in the floor-length mirror. Yep, she looked good. Wait. “It’s just one drink, it doesn’t matter if you look good.” The blonde grumbled to her reflection, proceeding to fix up her makeup and hair in spite of it. Calling goodbye over her shoulder to her co-workers, Lexi left the dressing room and made her way back to the front area. Her apparent companion for the evening had her back to her as he examined the club’s interior. “Heads up, if you are going to try and steal something, we’ve got cameras.” She called out playfully, sauntering over to him, looking over her shoulder anxiously. Lexi wanted to leave before the girls all came flooding out and caught her.

    Christian was snapped out of his admiration of the club, as he heard the woman’s voice. His eyes widened as he admired her attire. Somehow, she looked more attractive in clothes than she did without. “Ready to get going?” He asked, placing his hand on the small of his back. He led her outside, where his driver was still waiting for them. He opened the door for her, and waited for her to get in.


    “Where to, Mr. Miles?” The driver asked once they were inside comfortably.


    “Back to the hotel,” Christian called forward. “And for the hundredth time, call me Christian.” He instructed. Christian received a new driver in each different state, but the only one that ever got the hint was the one back home. He turned his attention back to the woman whose real name he had yet to learn, in place of the stage name that all the girls used. “I guess we’ve yet to be properly introduced..” he trailed off, taking in her appearance through only the dim light of the moon. Somehow she just kept getting more and more beautiful. Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe Christian just actually had a heart.

    There was something about the way he looked at her that made Lexi’s heart race, as cliché and dumb as it sounded. She wasn’t sure why – Yes he was pretty hot, charming and that michevious grin of his made her weak in the knees, but he was entitled and arrogant, traits that Lexi despised. She was just going to have to squash any developing feelings down, or else it would just make it harder to say no to him. And she wasn’t going to sleep with him. Definitely not. Responding with a polite nod, she allowed him to lead her outside and to the awaiting car. “Well, here goes nothing.” She thought, murmuring a quick thank you to him as he opened her door, and climbed quickly inside. She was surprised at first to see a driver but of course he would have one. It was a pretty swanky car, probably nicer than her apartment, to be honest. It definitely felt..luxurious. The only car Lexi had owned in her life was the old rustbucket that broke down practically every five minutes when she was seventeen. She couldn’t help but eavesdrop on the conversation, finally learning her companion’s name. Christian. Yeah, that suited him. She had only just turned to look at him as he spoke, too busy observing her surroundings. “Lexi.” The blonde introduced herself, finally, as she leant back against her seat and crossed her legs, “Lexi Edwards. Nice to make your acquaintance, Christian Miles.”

    Christian couldn’t seem to wipe the grin he’d been wearing all evening off his face. “Pleasures mine,” he said, nodding his head. He was glad she finally decided to join him. Perhaps it was the chase that made him want her even more, but he was more than pleased that she was sitting next to him in the car. The ride was short to The Plaza hotel, maybe a mere ten minutes even with the slight midnight New York traffic. Even for him, The Plaza was more luxurious than he was used to. It overlooked Central Park, and lots of people opted to live in the hotels as opposed to staying the night.

    When they arrived, the driver opened Lexi’s door, helping her out. Christian stepped out after her, nodding his appreciation towards the man. “Keep your head down,” he murmured to his female companion. Despite the late hour, paparazzi was still perched in front of the doors like vultures. “I’d wear these- it gets pretty bright.” He offered her the sunglasses. He was oblivious to her confusion as they walked towards the doors.

    “Christian, will that be your last concert?”

    “Christian, how do you feel about your suspension?”


    And of course, the obvious, “Christian, who is this girl?”


    These were the few he could hear above the crowd. He did his best to shield Lexi, knowing that it had to be much more annoying for her. Thankfully, the vultures were not allowed in the lobby. “That’s not exactly how I wanted to start this date,” he chuckled half-heartedly.

    For the rest of the short trip, Lexi looked out her window, enjoying the view of the city as they sped past. As they pulled up to the hotel, Lexi couldn’t help but be shocked at their destination. The Plaza Hotel. A night here cost basically the amount she made in a week of work. She had to stop being surprised at the extravagance of Christian’s lifestyle – They were two different people from two very different worlds. “Thank you.” Lexi smiled brightly at the driver as he helped her down, smoothing out her dress as she stepped to the side to let Christian out. The girl was distracted by the sheer size of the hotel and only caught the end of what he said. “Wait, what?” She was so confused as to what was going on, taking the sunglasses from him and slipping them on despite not knowing what they were for. This would probably be the first, and last, times she did exactly what he asked of her without question.

    A million questions racing in her head, the blonde followed after Christian, keeping her head low as he had instructed, when the sudden flash of cameras and yelling of people began. Caught in the chaos and confusion that was so foreign to her, Lexi panicked and grabbed the male’s hand, holding it tightly as he led her inside the hotel lobby. Once safely inside, she pulled away from quickly, staring at him in bewilderment. “It’s one drink, not a date – What the actual fuck was that?” Her voice rising enough to receive a few pointed looks from the other hotel guests that lingered in the lobby but she couldn’t care less about what they thought of her.It was like she had been picked up and dropped in some alien world. This stuff just didn't happen to people like her.

    Christian couldn’t help but roll her eyes at his use of words, grinning cheekily at her surprise. He was a bit shocked by her confusion, though. Sure, it was new for her, but shouldn’t she know that’s what comes with the territory. That’s when realization hit him. “You have no idea who I am, do you?” He couldn’t help but laugh a bit. He had to admit, her not knowing him was a shock, yet not, at the same time. Of course, country music wasn’t a club manager’s music of choice, but for her to really have no idea who he was, blew his mind.


    “That huge concert that took place in Time Square? That was mine.” He explained. He placed his hands in his front pockets, glaring at anybody that dared to look at Lexi in a negative way. “Would you like to go up? We could discuss this more upstairs over a drink.” He was a bit bemused by the look of pure shock across the gorgeous blonde’s face.

    Lexi Edwards


    Lexi felt like the world had been pulled out from under her legs. Her mind was blown by this revelation. Staring at Christian as if he had grown two heads, frantically trying to put the pieces together until she remembered the concert. That stupid country concert. The whole reason she was working tonight. Her head felt like it was about to explode. “..I-I..Uh..S-Sure?” She stammered, tripping over her words characteristically, as she tried to wrap her head around the situation. She guessed that the signs were all there but still it made no sense to her. God, she felt like such an idiot. “I think I’m going to need more than a drink..” Lexi murmured under her breath, more to herself than Christian, and gestured for him to lead the way upstairs. At least she would have a funny story to tell? It all seemed like some weird, outlandish prank set up by the girls at work in an attempt to catch out her out for bailing on her lived by rules – but she knew in her gut that this was really happening.

    He raised an eyebrow at Lexi’s statement. “Careful what you wish for,” he smirked, barely hearing her words as he was looking down at her. He placed his hand on her back once more and led her towards the golden elevator doors. Once inside, he pulled out a keycard that’s gave access to his room which took up a floor. He watched her expression as the elevator ascended, trying to read what she was thinking. Before he could ask, the elevator dinged in the doors parted, exposing his extravagant room. He gestured into the room. “After you.” He followed after her, removing his jacket. “What’ll you have? Wine, beer, whiskey, vodka?” He asked as he walked towards the kitchen, allowing her to take in her surroundings.

    Lexi didn’t hear what he said, her mind running a hundred miles per hour. The entirety of the short trip up to his hotel suite she was silent, refusing to look up at him despite feeling his eyes on her. Entering the room, the extravagance and size of the room knocked her back into reality. “Woah.” She quietly whispered, looking around the room in awe. She couldn’t believe the size of it. It would have to be around 50x bigger than her own, if not more. “Vodka, please. Two.” She called over her shoulder at him, distracted so much by the opulence of the room that she didn’t follow him into the kitchen. Lexi walked over to wall made entirely out of glass, giving her an unobstructed view of New York City. It was breathtaking. The blonde stared at all the lights shining brightly below her, the city as alive as always. Despite not having a fear of heights even she felt dizzy looking directly down. It really put into perspective just how tall the Hotel Plaza really was. She couldn’t believe she was here. That’s when she remembered why she was here. “So, when were you going to tell me?” An edge to her voice that warned she was annoyed, or mad, most likely both. She felt lied to in a way, which was crazy since he had never said he wasn’t famous, but he hadn’t informed her either.

    “Tell you what?” Christian called from the kitchen as he poured the clear liquid into the glasses. Clearly he know what she was talking about, but how was he supposed to know she didn’t know him. He joined her in the den, looking down at the world below them. “I honestly had no idea you didn’t know how I was.” He couldn’t help but grin at the situation. He wasn’t used to being able to go much of anywhere without everyone recognizing him. This was strangely new for him. “I apologize if I misled you.” He said, genuinely. He handed Lexi her two vodkas, and sipped lightly on his whiskey. He couldn’t seem to take his eyes off the girl. He was fascinated in every way possible.

    Lexi scoffed at his words, rolling grey eyes at his attempt to play dumb. As she heard him approach, she tore her gaze away from the city, studying his expression for a moment or two before taking the drinks. He seemed sincere, if a little arrogant.“ Thanks,” She placed one of her drinks down on a nearby side table and turned her back to the view of the city, leaning lazily against the cold glass to face him. “So, you’re a country singer? Right? Please tell me you have a song about a pickup truck.” Lexi teased playfully, tilting her head to the side and tucking some strands of her golden hair behind her ear as she sipped on her vodka, keeping her eyes locked on his as met his stare with one of her own. She liked the way he looked at her, as if she was some otherworldly being he had never seen before.

    His grin turned to a pretty hearty laugh at her assumption. He leaned his head against the cool glass, maintaining a smile as he looked down at her. “No, not typically,” he said, finally. “I like to write songs with more meaning.” He shrugged. He always assumed that’s why he was so popular. He watched as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, wondering how drunk he had to be to think she was beautiful while doing such a simple task. He mimicked her, setting his glass down on a table. “I’m glad you came, tonight,” for the first time, he tore his gaze away from hers and brought it to his feet. He had no idea what was getting into him.

    Lexi unconsciously shifted closer to Christian, drawn to the charming man like a magnet. As he spoke, her eyes drifted down from eyes, to his lips, and eventually the length of his body before flickering to his hands as they placed his glass next to hers. The sudden thought of how his fingers would feel running through her hair entered her mind. A light blush accompanied her racing pulse. A shiver went up her spine at his words and she was tempted to reach out to angle his face up to hers once more. She felt her mind cloud with desire, attempting to chase away any reason that still remained. As a last-ditch effort to remain strong, Lexi finished her drink and moved away to put some distance between the two, hoping that it would allow her to compose herself. “..Yeah, well, you didn’t give me much choice.” Her voice was light and playful as she tried to appear unaffected by his presence, looking around the room from where she stood, endeavouring to look anywhere but him.

    As Lexi wandered away, he kept his eyes locked on her, trying to read her. She was so headstrong— something he wasn’t used to. He narrowed his eyes in curiosity as she moved. His eyes trailed down her body, admiring her perfect shape. She was so peculiar. He’d never worked so hard to get a girl before. “Guess I kinda wanted you around,” he said, following behind her. He just wanted to be near her, and he didn’t know why. “I’ve got no idea what it is, but I’ve never chased this hard- I’ve never had the desire to.” He admitted. He wanted so badly to stop Lexi from walking and look into her eyes when she looked away from him, it was like he just went empty. He couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was about this girl, that made her worth the chase.


    Christian grabbed her hand and pulled her closer him. He looked into her pale grey eyes, feeling the warmth once more. His eyes scanned her face, looking for a reaction, before pausing on her lips, then flicking back to her eyes. He wanted to kiss her. Hell, he wanted to do way more than that.

    Lexi Edwards


    The blonde sensed him follow her and sighed quietly, a mix of both disappointment and pleasure. This was it. She had to decide what she was going to do next. Lexi looked thoughtful as she contemplated whether to thank him for the drink and make her exit or give in to what her body wanted. She had been resolute in only having one drink with Christian, nothing more. Her eyes shifted to the vodka, biting her lip in contemplation. On the other hand, what harm would one night with him really do? He’d return to the life of a celebrity and she would remain in the city. Nothing serious, just one night of fun.

    “Fuck it.” The blonde mumbled, grabbing the glass and quickly throwing it back, wincing slightly at the burn. Lexi moved quickly, pressing herself against Christian as one slender arm came up to rest on his shoulder, pulling him in closer as she closed her eyes and pressed her lips to his, savouring the taste of liquor on his lips. Her other hand rested on his chest, grasping at his shirt as she virtually melted into him, all signs of resistance gone.

    Christian was taken by surprise when the blonde kissed him, expecting more of a fight. However, he definitely didn’t complain. He lifted her up with ease and wrapped her legs around his hips as he deepened the kiss. He kissed down to her neck as he carried her to his rather large bedroom. Kissing Lexi was different than kissing anyone else. The taste of vodka from her lips danced with the whiskey on his. Her lips were just as soft as he’d thought they would be. When they med it to the bedroom, he sat Lexi down on the big bed, pulling away from the kiss begrudgingly. He searched her face for approval before he continued, and he hoped so much she would let him. His hands rested on the bare part of her thigh as he waited for permission to further continue.

    Lexi was momentarily surprised as he picked her up, a bemused smile appearing that disappeared quickly after she let out a soft moan at the sensation of his lips on her neck. Her fingers ran through his dark hair, tugging on it slightly. She felt the bed materialize under her and raised an eyebrow as he pulled away, disappointment rising in her chest before realizing what he was waiting for. Cute. Her hand rested on his, guiding it slowly up her thigh and knotted her fists in his shirt, pulling him back down to her impatiently, biting down on his bottom lip before kissing him once more. Hoping that was all the signs he needed to continue, Lexi aimed to take control, maneuvering so she would be on top, ending up straddling his waist. She gazed down at him, her heart beating furiously against her chest, almost breathless. God, he was handsome. Her fingers moved down his chest, caressing his skin before fumbling with his shirt, trying to rid him of it quickly, deciding to just rip it off him, buttons scattering across the room. “Sorry,” Her words insincere as she leaned forward, trailing kisses down his neck.

    Christian’s breath caught in his throat as she moved his hand up her thigh. Lexi opted to take control, and that was definitely new territory for him. He couldn’t help but grin cheekily as she ripped one of his many shirts, causing buttons to scatter across the bedroom floor. Whoever cleaned this room after the week ended, surely would know what happened.


    He took in a sharp breath as her lips grazed his neck, tightening his grip on her hips. He tugged at the bottom of her dress, pulling it off over her head. He swallowed hard, taking in her whole body. Granted, he had seen most of it at the club, but now he had it to himself. He pulled her back down to meet his lips, kissing her hungrily. Their body’s continued to move in sync, making Christian feel like he never had before.
