Tease Me

Chapter 24

Lolly powerwalked from the gym to the Blue Haven Café, but after the workout she’d just put me through, I had no intention of trying to keep up.By the timeI arrived at my usual seat, she was impatiently tapping her long red fingernails on the tabletop.

“All right, I’m ready,” Lolly said the second I sat opposite her. “Did you have the threesome? I bet you did.”

I flicked my ponytail over my shoulder and grinned.“You need to order cheesecake with your tea.”

“Bloody hell, babe. You’re killing me. I want to hear every fucking detail.” Lolly was way too loud for a coffee shop at eight-thirtyon aTuesday morning. “Did you like it?”

I couldn’t help but grin as I looked into her intense,inquisitiveeyes. “It was . . . it was . . .” I gazedout tothe ocean, searching for the perfect word to describe the experience.

“What can I get you, ladies?” Matt’s timing was impeccable.

Lolita clenched her jaw, and I was surprised she hadn’t told the grumpy waiter to go away.

“What’s the special today?” I saved him from Lolly’s all-out attack.

“We have pavlova slice with fresh berries and a mandarin coulis.”

“Sounds perfect.I’ll have that with whipped cream and a skinny cappuccinoin a mug.”I pointed my finger at Lolita. “And she’s having the New York baked cheesecake.”

Lolly rolled her eyes.

“With extra cream, too,” I said.

She poked her tongue out as if she’dbeen poisoned.

“Do you still want green tea?” I ignored her exaggeration.

She nodded, and Matt jotted our order in his notebook and then silently slinked from our table.

“You made the bet.” I grinned at Lolita.

“You’re trying to kill me.” She wriggled in her seat. “Now, tell me all about your threesome before I explode.”

She was hopeless with suspense, and as I contemplated teasing her a little longer, I adjusted my chairso I had a better view of boththe walking traffic and the rolling waves.

“I decided to wear my Poison Ivy costume. You know, the green satin one I wore for Batman?”

“Oh, yeah.Green corset, long satin gloves .. .” She imitated pulling on long gloves.

“Yes, that’s the one. I thought it was a cool way to show them who was in charge.”

“I bet that drove them wild.”

“It’s funny—youhave tounderstand how different these men were. Jackson was all fidgety and excited, but Mickey wasallcool and calm, a man in control.”

“I can tell you loved it. Tell me abouttheircocks.” She did a little hand clap.

“Wait a sec, I’m getting to that.” I glanced around the café as I leaned forward. “I made them kneeldownand bend over a chair . . .” I paused while a couple walked past our table. “. . . naked, and I gave them each a little smack on the butt.”

She burst out laughing. “Holy shit, that’s gold.” She wriggled her perfectly formed eyebrows. “Memphis likes a little BDSM then.”

“What? No. It’s nothing like that. Just a quick smack. I told them it was their punishment for coming back.”

“Yeah, yeah. I bet you liked it.”

I giggled. “It was kind of fun. And I thinktheyliked it, too.”

“Are you fucking kidding? Of course, they did. Cal loves it when?—”

I stuck my fingers in my ears. “La, la, la, la,” I sang loud enough to drown out her words.

When her lips stopped moving, I took my fingers out.

“You’re mean.”

“I’ve told you I don’t want to hear about what you and Cal do.”

“And that makes you a terrible girlfriend.”

My jaw dropped. Was I a terrible girlfriend? “It’s just that you guys are in love. What you do is special and should be a secret between you and Cal.”

“Well,that’s going tomake our coffee sessions bloody boring next year.”

“No, it won’t. We’ll have all sorts of wonderful things to talk about.”

She shook her head, not entirely agreeing with my comment. “Whatever. Anyway, get back to your threesome. I want every little detail.”

I looked around at the nearby diners, praying her booming voice had gone unheard. As nobody was staring at us open-mouthed, I assumed all was good.

“Okay, listen to this.” I started chuckling. “I got them both to strip off and sit on a seat each and, oh my god, they looked so hot. Anyway, I pointed at Jackson’s”—I leaned closer to her—”cock, and I said, ‘So, what do we have here?’” I couldn’t stop chuckling. “He said it was his pleasure-seeking missile.”

Her hearty laugh showed off her perfect white teeth. “Shit, that’s funny. What’d the other guy call his?”

“His cock.”

Lolly rolled her head back and laughed so hard her boobs nearly wobbled right out of her bright pink sports top.

I caught sight of a man strolling toward us, and as the blood drained from my body, I lowered my eyes and prepared to slip under the table.

Lolita wrapped her hand around my wrist. “What is it, babe?” Her Spidey sense was on target again.

I shook my head, unable to speak, as Cowboy Billy walked right behind my chair and into the coffee shop.

She increased her grip. “What?”

“Billy.” I nodded in his direction. How did she miss his cowboy hat?

“The sexy cowboy?”

As I nodded, I let my hair out of the ponytail and tousled it around my face.

Lolita laughed really loud. I glared at her. “Oh, Jane, you’re a riot.”

Shit.She”s trying to get Billy”s attention. “Lolly,” I hissed and shook my head. “Stop it.”

She grinned, and I turned my attention to the ocean. As I prayed for a tsunami to swallow me up, out of the corner of my eye, the hunk in the cowboy hat strolled toward us.

“Jane?” His deep voice captured my namein the most incredible way.

“Oh, hi.” I faked surprise and tried to ignore the Barbie-doll grin on Lolita’s face.

“It’s lovely to see you again.”

Lolly tapped her nails on the table. There was no ignoring her intention.

I cleared my throat. “Billy, this is my friend Lolita.”

He held his hand toward her, and I thought shewas going tojump up and kiss him. “I’ve heard all about you, you sexy cowboy.” She winked at him.

I wanted to die.

“Really?” He turned his attention to me.

I attempted to smile, but my twitching lips probably looked creepy.

Lolita indicated to the spare seats. “Why don’t you join us?”

“I’d love to.”AsI kicked her under the table, Billy pulled out a chair.

Lolly put her elbows on the tabletop, sat her chin on her palms, and stared at Billy. “So,” she said. “What’s a hunky cowboy like you doing on the Gold Coast?”

I sucked in a deep breath and let it out very slowly, as if meditation was my only savior.

He took off his hat and placed it on the spare chair at his side. As he tousled his hair, the sandy blond waves shimmered with gold in the morning sunshine. “I’m a guest stunt rider at the Outback Spectacular.”

Lolita licked her bottom lip. “I see . . . handsome and talented.”

Oh God, where’s my tsunami?I kicked her again, but if she felt me, she didn’t show it.

“How often do you do that?”

“Roughly every eight weeks or so.”

“Ah.” She nodded and fluttered her eyelashes.

Matt, our dour waiter, arrived and placed our cakes and drinks down. Lolly cringed at the giant slice of cheesecake, which made me even more determined to make her eat it.

Matt turned to Billy. “Can I get you anything?”

“Sure. Can you tell me what cakes you have?”Billy’s deep voicesuited him perfectly.

While Matt went through the options, I studied my cowboy. Although he lookedcompletelyout of place in this surf location, with his button-up shirt tucked into his belted jeans, he also looked like he perfectly belonged.Actually,he’d probably lookcompletelyat ease anywhere.

Both Lolly and Billy turned to me at the same time. “What?”

Lolly burst out laughing. “Billy asked you if it was nice.”

“What?”

“The pav.”

“Oh. I haven’t tasted it.”

“Well, eat some then.” Lolly kicked me under the table, and I mouthed ‘owww’ at her.

I scooped a spoonful of pavlova into my mouth. If a giant wavewasn’tgoing tosave me, then a giant sugar fix would. The pavlova seemed freshly made, with a crunchy crust and a nice gooey middle. The fruit topping was sweet and delicious, too. “It’s excellent.”

“Okay, good,” Billy said. “I’ll have that too, please. Thank you.”

Matt’s droopy eyes lowered further, making him lookas ifhe’d nod off at any moment. He left the table, and I turned my attention back to my sugar savior.

“So, Billy, the Outback Spectacular isn’t exactly close to here. Why do you come to Jane’s hotel?” Lolly said.

“Well, it’s really different from my home, and I like to stroll along the beach each afternoon before I go to work. It relaxes me.”

“So, you like the beach then.”

“Only to look at. I love the country better.”

Lolita tapped the back of my hand with her red talon. “Jane’s from the country.”

“Oh?” His eyes dazzled. “Where?”

“Mildura.”

“Animals or crops?”

“We had crops. Oranges and strawberries,” I said.

“I’m an animal man myself.”

“I bet you are.” Lolly wriggled her eyebrows.

To avoid poking her eyeballs out, I ate more pavlova.

“So, do you have a farm?” She was an efficient interrogator.

“Yes, five thousand hectares out past Roma.”

“Wow,” she gasped as if he’d shown her a ten-carat diamond.

Billy’s pavlova and coffee arrived, and as Matt positioned them on the table, I tried to catch Lolly’s eye, but the crazy bitch ignored me.

Lolly sat back, sipped her green tea, and stared at Billy as he began to eat.

I tucked into my sugar fix and tried to hide my embarrassment at her blatant ogling, but after a couple of mouthfuls, I couldn’t ignore it anymore. “You’ll have to excuse my crazy friend. She has no scruples.” I clenched my jaw at Lolita.

“What, babe?” She fluttered her eyelashes.

“Stop staring,” I whispered as quietly as I could.

“Sorry, I can’t help it.” She turned to Billy. “Jane’s told me all about your glorious body.”

Oh God, where’s a random assassin when I need one?

Billy laughed, and it was so fresh and contagious that I laughed with him.

“I’m glad you like it,” he said to me.

“Oh, she does, don’t you, babe?” Lolita answered for me.

I shoved a forkful of pavlova into my mouth and nodded.

“So, you live on that big farm by yourself?” Lolita was relentless.

He swallowed a mouthful of his treat. “Sort of. My folks have a cottage on one of the boundaries, and I have another couple of houses a bit aways, where staff lodgefrom time to time, and then there’s my place.”

Lolly lookedtotallyimpressed.I,on the other hand, couldn’t stand the thought of living within walking distance of my parents.

Billy pushed his half-finished meal away and dabbed his napkin to his lips. “I think I’ve intruded on your morning enough.”He tossed a twenty-dollar bill onto the tableand stood, reached for his hat, and pushed his chair in.“Will I see you later, Jane?”

“You will,” Lolly answered for me again, and I smacked her arm.

Billy laughed and tipped his hat. “Well, if you’re interested, I’m in room twenty. It was a pleasure to meet you, Lolita.”

“Oh, the pleasure was all mine, Cowboy Billy.”

He adjusted his hat, turned, and ambled away.

Lolly started giggling the second he left, and as we watched his sexy butt in his perfectly fitted faded jeans, her laughter hit a new crescendo. Soon, I couldn’t help myself and roared with laughter, too.

I slapped her again. “You’re out of control.”

“You loved it.”

I huffed. “I don’t know about that.”

“I do. Besides, I asked all those questions for you. At least now you know more abouthim.”

That was true. I’d exploredjust aboutevery inch ofhisbody, but until now, I knew next to nothing about the man in the cowboy hat.

“And?”

“And what?”

“What do you think of him now?”

I stirred my spoon around my coffee mug as I contemplated my answer.Whilsthecertainly made my heart flutter, washethe man for me? For my future?

“Okay,” she said. “Time’s up. Tell me what you’re thinking.”

I took a sip of my coffee. “Billy is incredible.He’s sexy—has an amazing body.He’s gentleand kindand seems to know what he wants in life.”

“He wants you.”

I cocked my head in response.

“He does. Look at him—he was drooling over you.”

“No, he wasn’t.”

“Hell, yes, he was.”

I lowered my eyes from her intense gaze. “Hey, you haven’t touched your cheesecake.”

She pulled a sad face.

“Eat, or you don’t get another word from me.”

She huffed. “Torturing me two ways. Youreallyare mean.” Lolly screwed up her face as she plunged her fork into the thick, creamy cheesecake and put it into her mouth. As I waited for her to swallow, my mind drifted to Billy. He had everything going for him, and I was sure thousands of women would line up to be with him, yet I was still hesitating.

Lolita paused with another forkful of cheesecake at her lips. “Tell me what you don’t like about him.”

The answer, I realized, was easy. “Helives on a farm.”

She chewed quickly and swallowed. “What’s wrong with that? You’re from the country.”

“Exactly. I know what it’s like to live in a small town. Since I moved here, I discovered there’s so much more to life. I love living near the ocean and . . . well, I don’t think I want to leave now.”

“Maybe he’d move here, too.”

I shook my head. “I wouldn’t want him to do that.”

“Look, you’re jumping way ahead of yourself. Right now, that sexy bull wrestler is getting all steamy waiting for you. Go up there and fuck his brains out.”

“Lolly!” I glanced around, and a few people were looking our way.I wanted to run and hide, butinstead, I justbulged my eyes at her.

“What? Don’t worry about them. They’re all jealous. Now, I’m serious. Go and have ajollygood ride, and don’t worry about the serious stuff. It’ll work out.”

I took a large gulp of my coffee. “This’s the fourth timehe’sbeen here. Don’t you think that’s serious enough?”

“No.He’ssmart enough to know whenhe’son a good thing. Just enjoy the ride.” She giggled.

I finished the rest of my coffee and placed the mug down. Billy sure was exciting in the bedroom. My mind drifted to the last time we’d been together and how amazing I’d felt when I’d licked him. Maybe I could try that again.

“You’re smiling. Tell me what you’re thinking.”

I giggled and leaned forward. “I was thinking about Billy.”

“And . . .?”

“And . . . I licked his . . . you know.”

“And . . .?” Her eyes bulged.

“And it was nice.”

“Nice? Pfft, you sure do play things down. Hey, that reminds me—you haven’t told me about the threesome.”

I glanced at her cheesecake, which she’d barely touched. “And you haven’t eaten that.”

“Okay, how about we go info titbit for bite?For every juicy piece of info,I’ll eat a bite of this retched cake.”

“It’s not that bad.”

“Sure is.I’ll need torun to Brisbane and back to work off these calories.”

I rolled my eyes.She’dprobably do it, too. “Okay.”

“Okay, so you had them naked on the chairs. Then what?”

“I tugged my boobs over my corset and let Mickey have his way with them. Eat.”

She scowled and then put the tiniest spoonful in her mouth.

“While Mickey was working on my boobs, Jackson was watching. Eat.”

“That’s not enough info. Tell me more.”

I rolled my eyes.“Okay, while I was with the plumber, Jacksonwas watching me and playingwith himself.”

“And, how did you feel?”

“It made me so freakin’ horny.Hiseyes werereally wide, andhekept lickinghislips. So, while he was watching me and I was watching him play with himself, Mickey was doing the most amazing things to my boobs.” Just going back there in my mind had my insides curling. “Eat.”

Lolly scooped another mouthful into her mouth. “So, how did you fuck? Were you sandwiched between their two cocks? One in your pussy, one up your ass?”

“What? No. Ewww, that’s disgusting.”

She flicked her hand like I wasover-exaggerating. “So, how’d you do it? Oh, let me guess—you gave one head while the other fucked you from behind.”

“No—”

“Okay, you rode one guy and gave the other head.”

“No, Lolly, stop. It wasn’t like that.”

She pointed her fork at me and scowled. “You didn’t fuck them, did you?”

I shook my head.

She shoved her plate away. “Oh my god, you made me eat that crap, and you didn’t even fuck them.”

“Shhh.”

“Oh, pfft.” She threw her hands in the air. “You tricked me.”

“No, I didn’t.”

She sat back and folded her arms across her abundant boobs. “Tell me then. How was it a threesome?”

God, she was loud. Cringing, I glanced around. Thankfully, the café was nearly empty, and thetables thatwere occupiedwere a fair distance away.

“We fooled around for a bit in the chairs. Then Mickey carried me to the bed. I let both of them watch me, you know, masturbate.”

Lolly rolled her eyes to the ocean and sighed as ifcompletelyuninterested.

“Then they kneeled at either side of me. They had their hands all over me and in me, and it was amazing. And then I grabbedboth ofthem and played with them until they both came all over me.”

She didn’t move. I had no idea what she was thinking. Lolly didn’t do silent.

“I still had my mask on.”

She frowned. “What?”

“The green Poison Ivy mask. I’d kept it on the whole time. Right to the end.”

Lolly clapped her hands and laughed. “Lucky you don’t write porn because you’d be terrible.”

I laughedalong with her, relieved that she didn’t seem mad at me. “Do you forgive me?”

“No. You’re in for a tough workout next Tuesday. I can’t believe you made me eat that, and you didn’t even fuck those guys.”

“You ate about five forkfuls.”

“Yes, and I can already feel it making its way to my ass.”

I smiled. Lolita had an incredible body that she worked so hard to maintain. Iactuallyfelt terrible now. “I’m sorry I made you eat that cake.”

She flicked her hand. “It’s okay, I’ll work it off on Cal later. All thistalk about sexhas made me horny.” Her eyes bulged. “Are you going to fuck Billy now?”

I frowned. “I . . . I don’t know. We haven’t got that far yet. We do other stuff.”

“What else haven’t you done with him then?”

I pictured my sexy cowboy, his highly toned muscles, and thoseinterestingmolasses eyes.

“You’re smiling.”

“You know what I’d like to try again? I don’t think I did a good job last time. I’d like to try a sixty-nine.”

“Ahhh, there’s definitely a skill to it.”

“Yeah—avoid choking to death.”

Lolita burst out laughing. “You’re a hoot, babe. Okay, here’s a tip. Both of you lie on your sides.”

I blinked at her as I tried to picture how that would work. “I never thought of that.”

“Or if you sit on his face, then you can lean down, and you manage how much of his cock you take into your mouth. Don’t do it the other way, with him on top, or you’ll need CPR in a few minutes.”

I rolled my eyes. “I know what you mean.”

She glanced at her phone. “Dammit, I’ve gotta go.” She plucked a twenty-dollar bill out and sat the saltshaker on it to stop it from blowing away. “Tell me you’re going to Billy.”

“Yes, yes, I am.” I didn’t even need to think about it.

She hopped up and came around to draw me to her chest. “I’m so proud of you.”

“Thank you.” Though I had no idea what there was to be proud of.

She kissed my cheek. “See you next week.”

“Okay. Bye.”

As she jogged away, my thoughts drifted to Billy.

By the timeI’dleft the café and made it to my room, I was so excited aboutgoing up tohim that my insides purred.
