Chapter 16 #2
“Serious.”
“Yes, Zeke, I know you’re serious about giving me the D. You’re just not the person I want it from.”
“Bullshit. Know you gotta miss how I used to give it to you.” With a smirk, he made a suggestive gesture by pounding his fist into his palm a few times. “Used to fuckin’ wake all my brothers up with that wailin’.”
Oh, she certainly did miss it, but not enough to make it worth the heartbreak she ended up with last time.
She did not want to rekindle anything with the man. Not even for the great sex. Despite the fact her love life had been pretty damn non-existent since she left Zeke. Pregnancy and motherhood had slammed the brakes on her social life.
Glen was the first man she had any interest in. Probably because he was the exact opposite of the one standing in front of her. The one thinking her panties would just magically fall around her ankles if he shot her his signature sexy grin.
It might have worked in the past. But now?
Shit.
She had to resist. To help her do that, she needed to get him out of her home. Being overly tired wasn’t helping her think straight.
“Babe.” The way he manipulated his voice to sound silky smooth was not helping.
“Time for you to go.” Gah! That sounded breathless. And fallible.
He pursed his lips right before a grin spread wide across his face.
His cockiness alone should be a turnoff.
Her heart began to pound and her breathing hitched as he moved into her personal space.
“Babe,” he said again in a way that she shouldn’t allow to affect her at all.
The man was sexy as hell and knew how to use that appeal.
She would not let it work on her. She knew better. It was what sucked her in the first time.
Been there, done that, and had a child to prove it.
Do not fall for his charms, Kyra. He’s only doing it to make you feel guilty for going on a date with Glen.
Her head jerked back when he reached out and cupped her face. He took another step closer—so close that his body heat touched her—and his thumb brushed back and forth over her cheekbone.
His nostrils flared as he stared at her lips. “Missed you, Ky.”
She had a difficult time swallowing. “You told me that already.”
“‘Cause it’s true. Nobody better to have my kid than you.”
Jeez. He was pulling out the big guns.
“Can’t say the same about you,” she forced up her closing throat.
“Know how to hurt a guy.”
“I’m only being honest. Something you aren’t.” She needed to wrap her heart in steel to prevent him from doing more damage. “I don’t want you, Zeke.”
He leaned closer. “Now you’re the one not bein’ honest. Can see it in your eyes.” He slid his hand lower to collar the front of her neck. “Can feel your pulse poundin’ in your throat. Nipples are hard as fuck. Bet your pussy’s wet right now, ain’t it?”
“You’re imagining things. Like I said, I’m tired and need some sleep.”
“Got nothin’ to do with sleep. Exact fuckin’ opposite.”
She tried to take a step back, but his hand shifted again to curl around the side of her neck. “You think you’re irresistible.” Damn that shake in her voice.
His eyes followed the path of her tongue as she licked her lips.
Oda Mae Brown’s warning, “You in danger, girl,” popped into her head again.
His thumb pulled down her bottom lip, then he dipped it inside her mouth. “Miss that sweet fuckin’ mouth. Suck it.”
Suck it? Was he serious?
When she lifted her hand to knock his away, he snagged her wrist and lifted it to his own mouth, tickling the middle of her palm with the tip of his tongue.
Lightning shot from her nipples down to her toes and her body began to hum when he plunged his thumb in and out of her mouth.
“Suck it, Ky. Wanna remember how that mouth feels ‘round me.”
Her pussy pulsed with every heartbeat. Not fighting him off wasn’t a good idea. It was dangerous.
A damn slippery slope.
Don’t let him tempt you. Don’t let him pull you down into that quicksand. You might not be able to escape this time.
His thumb was probably filthy.
It might have even been in some other woman’s pussy.
She filled her head with every excuse imaginable to avoid what he was asking. But in the end, she succumbed to what he wanted.
She wrapped her lips around his thumb and sucked it deep. He pulled it almost totally out, then plunged it deep again.
“Fuck, babe,” he whispered, his eyes dark and heated as they followed the motion closely. “That’s it. Suck it.” He groaned. “Should be my dick. That mouth’s fuckin’ hot and wet. Bet your pussy’s even fuckin’ wetter.”
She would not confirm or deny that fact. She didn’t need to give him any more ammo. She was already proving to be too weak. She was so disappointed in herself for falling for his charisma.
“Wanna bury my dick deep as fuck. Make you fuckin’ scream for more. Make you come all over me.”
His words should turn her off. They had the exact opposite effect.
Yes, she wanted to feel him deep inside her. Of course she wanted to climax.
On the other hand, she did not want to scream and wake up Ledger.
Zeke needed to leave before she dragged him back to her bedroom and rode his cock until she passed out in exhaustion.
You need to resist.
This isn’t smart.
You know how he is. If you sleep with him, he’ll get possessive and even more demanding.
He’ll want to dictate everything you do.
He’ll act like you belong to him.
You’ll regret it.
Her inner self was struggling to think past how great the sex had been with Zeke. All the previous issues beyond that need to remain in the forefront and not fade into the background.
The second he slipped his thumb free, his mouth took hers. The kiss wasn’t gentle.
It was ravenous.
All-consuming.
Mind-blowing.
Her bare toes curled and she couldn’t catch her breath. A groan slipped up her throat and into his mouth.
She was screwed.
Because she was about to get thoroughly screwed.
Yes, she was going to be remorseful about letting him in. But she’d worry about that later.
Later.
Ignore your common sense screaming and simply enjoy the moment.
You’ve been working hard. You’ve been drowning in responsibility.
You deserve a moment of pleasure. A moment for yourself.
But first, she needed some reassurance.
Kyra twisted her head to break the connection of their mouths. “This won’t change anything, Zeke.”
Of course he only grunted in response.
“Tell me you understand that. If we do this, it won’t give you license to make the rules. About me. About us. About Ledger. This will only be sex. Nothing beyond that.”
With flared nostrils, he dug his fingertips deeper into her hips.
“This isn’t you staking your claim, Zeke.”
“Got it.”
She wished she could believe that. He had lied plenty of times in the past to get what he wanted.
“Just want you to remember what it was like between us.”
“I do remember. That’s the problem.”
“Ain’t a problem.”
