Looking Out for Lexy Read Online Free

always been good at seeing through his tough guy image.  Especially when she looked in his eyes.  She certainly didn't deserve his scorn.  That had always been reserved for people he didn’t care about.....
                  Lexy swallowed, her breath all but gone.  She’d already forgiven him.  “I never thought about you that way, Jack.  I really have seen all of your videos.  I...I like them.”
                  “You don’t seem like the type that would enjoy my kind of music, Mrs. Kane.  What is it you like best, the music, the sexy videos, or...me.”  His grin was unmistakably wicked, and bold again.
                  She let out her breath with a whoosh.  A scarlet flush covered her cheeks again.  “You have a lot of nerve, Mister Wyatt.  I...I like them because...” Lexy averted her gaze.  The nerve!  And the worst part  was...he  was right!  And the fact that he always treated the video dollies with respect and dignity in the love scenes on film.  Like he had treated her.  And the fact that she'd never fallen out of love with him, even though she'd married Tom.  But she wasn’t about to tell him that now.
                  “Uh-huh.  I caught you, didn’t I, Lexy.  You watch my videos because of me.  Because you like my.....”  He smiled that killer smile he projected on screen.   “Me.”  Jack Wyatt was the consummate rock star now.  It was the only way he could be comfortable around the only girl, make that woman now, he'd ever cared about...OK, loved.  Wanted to marry.  They'd never had the chance to find out.
                  Lexy drew herself up, the deep flush on her cheeks still flaming. 
                  “You think you are pretty hot stuff, don’t you, Jack Wyatt.  Thea warned me that you were like this, but I didn’t believe her.  And, I think it’s all a big put-on too.  You don’t want anyone to know that a real heart beats beneath that tough guy image.”
                  Jack looked amused.  Lexy had always had a lot of spunk.  And she hadn’t answered his question. 
                  "Ahhh, Lexy.  Maybe you are just the woman to find out what’s beneath this uh, image.  Maybe I’ll call you in the morning.  I’ve got Thea’s number.”
                  He had his nerve!  Maybe he'd call. Maybe indeed!  Lexy lifted her chin proudly and looked directly at him.  "I’ll be gone tomorrow, or did you forget so soon?”               
                  “Salave`."  He shrugged his shoulders.  "Well ladies, I have a couple of anxious, young wannabe’s waiting for me.  Maybe some other time, angel."   Jack cast a sidelong look at Lexy.  A slight smile flickered at the corners of her perfect mouth.
                  Angel.  The former endearment had slipped out again before he could stop it.  Or had it?   Jack Wyatt had never called anyone else before or after Lexy angel. Intending to say something else, he quickly snapped his mouth shut.  Saluting them, the handsome singer did an about face, sauntering over to the two young women eagerly awaiting his presence.  Jack had to get away from Lexy before he took her in his arms, crushing her luscious body to his.  He groaned inwardly, remembering the sensuous lips that tasted of pure honey.
                  The pleasure was all mine, Jack I’m sure .   Lexy watched him as he walked away.  Out of her life.  Again.             
                  Thea turned to Lexy.  “I’m sorry, Lexy.  I knew he was like this.  I didn't mean for this to happen."
                  Quietly, Lexy placed her hand on Thea’s shoulder.  Her anger already dissipating.  She understood his facade well.  And he'd slipped badly, calling her angel-twice.  She recalled him telling her as teenagers that he had never called  anyone
