Chapter 11 #3
“It’s a two bedroom. The first one here is where all the cuddling goes down.” I opened the door to the king sized bed, made with more pillows than needed. I had a comfy chair in the corner with an ottoman that matched. The candles and the art on the walls were added touches.
“Wait, you cuddle these people on there?” Highland asked, sounding concerned.
I snorted, “Uh yeah,” then reached up and rubbed the center of his forehead to release the frown lines that formed fast as hell.
“Calm down, it’s all on top of the covers and there is the camera right there.” I pointed to the camera mounted in the right corner of the room.
“I’m always careful and you would be happy to know Tunk can see and hear everything. And is never far. The office where the camera monitors are is normally where he stays, down the hall. Come on, let me show you.” I turned, dragging Highland with me to my security room that acted as my office too.
“That doesn’t make it any better. And you only have one camera, Olive.”
I stood in front of Highland who was straight up frowning now. I got on my tippy toes, wrapping my arms around his neck.
“Captain, do you keep long hours?”
It took a second before he looked down at me, frown still present.
“Sometimes. Depending on the day and the schedule.”
“And I’m guessing a lot of the woman be half ass naked and some even try to get with you, right?”
He released a heavy sigh as he put his arms around my waist.
“That’s not the same, Olive. You be in the bed with these muthafuckas.” Highland twisted his lip and a slight frown popped out on his handsome face. I didn’t mean to laugh because he was serious, but it was cute.
“Exactly not the same. This is a professional setting. My clients sign paperwork that prohibits them from even getting excited about me in that way. I’ve never had a problem before and you’ll be happy to know at the moment, I have more women than men clients.” He groaned, not happy at all.
“That doesn’t make it better. The amount of women I know who would take you down without hesitation is enough for me to not like that even more. Yeah, hell no. I don’t like none of this.”
“Highland, if this new thing between us has a chance to work, like for real, then you have to trust me here like I trust you on those yachts with those half-naked women throwing themselves at you. And yes, I’m going to be that girlfriend who will smell your dick after a scheduled party that has more women than men on board.
” That made him laugh as he kissed my forehead.
“First off, not my girlfriend, my damn woman. And if you drop to your knees to sniff Big Lando, then I’ma stuff him balls deep inside you for not trusting me until you beg for forgiveness.”
I don’t know ’bout you, Liv, but I’m trying to test the theory out.
I bit down on my lip as I did my best to stop the nasty ass thoughts from forming in my mind since I still had a client today.
Tunk came into the room and addressed me.
“Tasha is here. Do you want me to take her to the other room?” The way I missed the doorbell had me getting my thoughts back on track.
“Yes, I’m coming.” Tunk nodded as he snorted and headed back out.
“Not yet,” Highland mumbled as he put his lips on mine this time. I flushed red as I gasped.
I tried to clear my throat but ended up coughing instead.
“Okay, yeah it’s time for you to go before you cause a problem that you can’t handle right now,” I said, making Highland smirk as I turned him around and began to push him out.
“I’m going, but only because I’ll be back for lunch,” he said as we reached the front door.
My low throbbing pussy heard him as she purred.
Highland’s crazy ass reached down and tapped her twice today, like he did yesterday, making me bite down on my bottom lip to contain my moan that dared to be free.
After Highland left, I made my way to the bathroom to freshen up before my session with Tasha.
I walked into the room with her already on the bed, smiling at her phone.
“Ooh, is that the doctor?”
She looked up at me, still wearing a smile as she nodded along with a verbal answer.
“Yes. It’s been like this for the last two weeks. I took your advice and girl.” She let out a sigh of relief as her whole body relaxed even more.
Girl, same.
I got on the bed next to her, sitting with my legs crossed.
“Tell me how it happened.”
“So we were in the cafeteria again. I was there first right, just eating my takeout from Redmond’s, when he took a seat at the table next to me. I happened to look over to see he had the same exact thing as me. He said something like I made it look so good so he had to see what it was hitting for.”
We both let out a few light giggles. Me more from her giddiness.
“Ooh, okay, I like this. What did you say? Please tell me you did what I told you and actually flirted, Tasha.”
“Wait, not immediately but we’ll get there.
I said everything on their menu is good so he should enjoy it.
But this is where he took it from the food to asking to sit with me.
I said yes and by the end of lunch we exchanged numbers.
We’ve gone out on one date with plans for another just set in stone. ”
“Oh yay, Tasha! I’m so proud of you for being open to this. Tell me about the first date.” Tasha then changed her position, laying back, with me doing the same as we crossed our legs. This was her comfort zone.
And like that, Tasha told me every single detail about her date while my mind went to mine.
