Eye Candy: A Bad Boy Romance: Eye Candy Series, #2

By Kylie Parker

Dylan Hawke 

Rich, bad boy, relying on daddy's money to play, travel and womanize. Black hair, blue eyes, tall, muscular, smartass. Deep down he is actually a nice guy who is insecure and therefore always does the leaving before he can be left. His dad threatens to cut him off if he doesn't marry a "good girl." Dylan loves fast cars and secretly dreams of racing stock cars, but his father forbids it because it isn't a worthy job. Dylan rebels at every turn against his father's strict ways. He owns a large mansion that is sparsely furnished because he is rarely there. He is set to inherit his father's massive real estate holdings and has completed a business degree at Harvard, although he skated by and didn't pay attention. 

Alexa Jenkins 

Is attending law school after getting her bachelors. She is working her way through law school. It is taking her longer than the typical seven years because she must work full time as an assistant to a high powered lawyer to pay her way through school. Alexa is petite, blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty, but hides it in frumpy clothes and little makeup most of the time. She is smart. She has no family in the world, having come up in the foster care system. She likes cooking in her free time. Has never been anywhere due to a lack of funds. She has had few boyfriends because she is focused on her career. Tends to be shy unless provoked and then she can be very opinionated. 

Dylan runs into Alexa at a coffee shop. He has already dated several women, none are worthy of marriage. He offers to get Alexa an interview with a high powered law firm if she will go out with him. They go on a couple of dates—he explains his need to get married ASAP. He offers to pay for her education as well as her first year of living expenses if she will marry him and remain married for at least three years. After that, they divorce, he inherits and they can go on their merry way. They fall in love, but neither are willing to admit it....

Dylan

Iscan the dance floor from my comfy couch in the roped off VIP section. So far, I see nothing that interests me. It is the same crowd, maybe a few new faces, but they all look the same to me. Short skirts, tiny tops and big heels. It seems like that is the dress code for all of the women pressed in below.

My couch gives me an excellent vantage point. I can see the bar and most of the dance floor. I feel like a king, watching the subjects below, looking for my next victim. I sit, wait and watch until I find what I want. Once my target is decided, I will move in. It's easy pickings from that point on. I flash a smile, make sure the woman knows who I am and she's mine.

I take another drink of my Jack and Coke. I'm bored. I turn to tell Blake I am ready to call it a night when something catches my eye. I scan the dance floor again, trying to see what it is that sent off alarm bells in my brain. I watch the throng of people gyrating. Same old scene.

Wait! There! I see two women, both wearing the standard uniform of the club, little black dresses and killer heels. My eyes hone in on the woman with her butt pressed into her girlfriend's stomach. It isn't the two women grinding on each other that has caught my eye. That little show is far too common in the clubs. No, it's the woman with the blonde flowing hair.

My brain starts whirring, like it is going through a rolodex as I try to place the face. I know her. Have I slept with her already? I watch, unable to look away. She turns, throws her head back and laughs. Her sleek neck leads to sinful cleavage that is on full display in the low cut dress. I see a hint of red peeking out from the black dress. A red bra—interesting. It reminds me of Alexa. She is the perfect substitute.

I'm intrigued and watch the women laugh and slap each other on the ass before laughing more. I love how they appear so natural, as if they don't care about anything else in the world. They are enjoying themselves and appear to be completely carefree. The song ends and the tall woman with the flowing brown hair grabs the blonde's hand. They head to the bar. I have to make my move.

Blake, I call out, not looking away from my prey. Have Dominic invite those two ladies up here.

He walks over, plops down next to me and stares in the direction I'm pointing.

I call dibs on the blonde, he says.

No! I growl. That one's mine. I saw her first.

Blake laughs before going to tell the security guard my demands. I watch as the big, black guy crosses the room, people making a wide path for him as he moves. He reaches the women, leans in close and starts talking.

I quickly avert my eyes. I don't want to look like a stalker. I cross to the other side of the small area
