Chapter 11
I’m pulling on some boardshorts when I hear the slam of the screen door closing. Kai had yelled something to me while I was in the shower, which I didn’t actually hear or understand. But I’m guessing that he went out somewhere and is now back.
When I wander out to the kitchen, I see not only is Kai back, but that Daisy is with him and currently holding an ice pack against his cheek.
“What the hell is this?” I ask as I walk over and press a kiss to Daisy’s temple.
Kai grins up at me from the kitchen chair he’s sitting in. “Flattened him in two punches. Such a pussy,” he says, laughing.
“Flattened who?” I ask, as beside me, Daisy stiffens a little.
Kai rolls his eyes. “Isaac, dude, who do you think?”
“Isaac?” I repeat. “He was at the fucking bar still?”
Kai nods as he says, “Lisa called me. You were in the shower, so I took care of it.”
I turn to Daisy now, who is staring intently at the ice pack she is still holding against Kai’s cheek. Gently, I take her hand from it, nodding as I hold it out to Kai as if to tell him to hold it himself before I turn her to face me.
“Daze?” I ask, forcing myself to stay calm.
She blows out a breath, looking up at me as she says, “He didn’t leave after you left. Stayed just to torment me, and when I challenged him to a game of pool to try and get him to leave, he didn’t like losing.”
“Fucking idiot, doesn’t he know you’re a shark?” Kai says, grinning.
Ignoring my brother’s comment, I cup Daisy’s face in my hands. “Tell me what happened,” I say, my words gentle, even though inside, I’m raging. This fucking asshole just doesn’t know when to stop.
She shrugs, trying to play it off like it’s no big deal, even though I can tell whatever it is that happened still bothers her.
“He just hung around the bar all afternoon. Said a few asshole things and then was a dick when he lost at pool. The deal was, if I beat him, he had to leave. He didn’t like that. ”
I exhale hard as I pull her into my arms, wrapping them around her in a tight embrace. Glancing down at Kai, he nods as if to confirm that what she’s saying is what happened. And while I don’t doubt that Daze is telling me the truth, I’m sure I’m not getting the full story either.
Like what Isaac was saying to her after I left.
Or what he wanted if he won at pool.
Fucking asshole.
“He start it?” I ask, tipping my chin at my brother’s cheek.
Kai laughs as he stands from his chair. Throwing the ice pack into the sink, he moves to the fridge, grabbing three beers. “Yep, sure did. Then I took him outside and flattened his ass with two punches. Possibly broke his nose, actually,” he adds with a shrug as he takes a long pull from his beer.
I grin, pressing a kiss to the top of Daisy’s head as I reach for the other two beers. “Good,” I say, clinking my bottle against Kai’s. “Thanks for taking care of it, but next time, wait for me.”
“No time, little brother,” Kai replies. “Besides, me taking care of it earns me a few points with Lisa,” he adds with a wink.
“Oh my god, really?” Daisy groans, hitting him with a look.
“He thinks she still likes hooking up with him,” I say, shaking my head at my brother.
“All the girls like hooking up with me,” Kai replies.
“Jesus,” I mumble as beside me, Daisy says, “I need a shower. Can I...?”
“Course you can,” I say, dropping another kiss to the top of her head. “Make yourself at home, Daze.”
She nods, smiling up at me as she gives me a quick kiss before turning to my brother. “Thanks again, Kai, I really appreciate what you did.”
“Was nothin’, Daze,” he says, waving her comment away.
She nods agains before walking out of the kitchen, beer in hand, to take a shower.
“You should go join her,” Kai says as soon as she’s gone. “Take her mind off what happened tonight.”
“You telling me everything?” I ask him.
Kai nods. “Yeah, I am. Lisa just said he was being a dick, hanging around all afternoon and being a pain in Daze’s ass. You know what he’s like, dude. He’s always been jealous of you, and this, you and Daze back together again, is like rubbing salt in the wound.”
I take a sip of beer as I lean back against the counter. “I don’t know if we are back together,” I murmur.
Kai raises a brow. “Really? So, like her spending a second night here after your all-night sexathon last night doesn’t tell you that you guys are back together?”
“You together with every girl you fuck?” I ask, throwing his logic back at him.
“Nah, man,” he says with a laugh. “That’s just fucking. You and Daze though...it’s different.”
I take another sip of my beer, knowing my brother is right, but still wondering if whatever this is between us right now is more than just fucking.
As if sensing my unease, Kai straightens, walking over and clapping a hand on my shoulder. “I’m gonna go watch TV. Loudly. Go join your girl.”
The next morning, I wake to Daisy’s mouth on my dick, her hand gripping the base as she slowly sucks me off. It’s hot and perfect, and as I blink my eyes open, I almost come from how sexy it looks too.
“Christ, Daze,” I groan, my voice raspy with sleep.
She looks up at me, smiling as she continues to suck, her head moving up and down in time with her hand. I fucking love when she does this, and god, it feels so fucking good, especially still half-asleep like this.
But I also want more, so even though I am already close, I reach down, pulling her up so she’s straddling my hips.
“Why’d you stop?” she protests huskily, her hair all messed up, hanging loose around her shoulders.
“Ride me,” I command, grabbing my dick as I pull her down onto me. Daisy groans as I thrust up inside her, filling her completely. “Fucking hell, Daze, you are the best wake-up.”
She smiles down at me, her hands moving to my chest as she starts to slowly move, rocking against my hips in the most torturous way. I know she’s doing it deliberately too, enjoying my frustrated groans as she taunts me.
“Daisy,” I growl, my fingers gripping her hips as I try to get her to move faster.
She just laughs, never upping her tempo as she leans down, brushing her lips against mine, and whispers, “Something wrong?”
“Yes,” I bark, flipping her onto her back and pushing back inside her in one quick move.
“Ohhh,” she cries, her head pushing back into the pillow as I start to fuck her hard and fast.
Dropping my mouth to hers, I kiss her roughly, our teeth and tongues clashing as I pound my hips against hers. Cupping her boob, I pinch her nipple hard, swallowing the gasp she lets out before I move my hand between us, my thumb finding her clit.
“I’m so fucking hard for you, Daze,” I murmur, never stopping my hips, my dick sliding through her wetness as I bury myself deep inside her.
She smiles against my mouth as her hand slides to the back of my neck, gripping it hard. “Fuck me, Miles, make me come.”
“Fuck,” I moan as I continue my thrusts, pounding into her over and over again, relentless, my thumb continuing to tease her clit.
“Oh god, yes,” she cries, her back arching beneath me, her grip on my neck tightening. “Yes, Miles. Yes, yes, yes...”
I groan hard as I feel her come undone around me, pushing into her one last time and coming so fucking hard, I swear my vision darkens. I don’t know if it’s residual anger or frustration or whatever from last night, but I feel so wired right now.
Collapsing on top of her, I can feel the hard beat of her heart against mine as she loosens her grip on my neck, sliding both hands to my ass as she holds me inside her.
“I love it when you fuck me like that,” she whispers, her mouth against my ear.
“Like what?” I ask, my breathing ragged.
She lets out a breathy laugh as she murmurs, “Like you’ve lost control. Like you can’t get enough. Like you want me more than anything else in the world.”
I lift my head from the crook of her neck, my gaze meeting hers. “All of that is true,” I tell her, shifting my hips as I give a gentle thrust with my still hard dick. “You do make me lose control, Daze. And you are all I want, and I will never get enough.”
She smiles at that, trailing her fingers up my back as she whispers, “Good.”
I kiss her again before reluctantly rolling off her, pulling her into my arms. “Are you working today?”
She presses her lips to my chest because she knows why I’m asking. “No, you?”
“Nope,” I reply, shaking my head.
She lifts hers, resting her chin on my chest as she asks, “You wanna hang out today, maybe do something together?”
With a laugh, I haul her up my body, wrapping my arms around her waist. “Hell yes, I want to hang out with you today,” I reply, kissing the side of her neck.
She laughs. “What should we do?”
Grinning, I gently bite her neck now before sucking hard enough to leave a mark. “Stay in bed and fuck?” I suggest.
“I could be on board for that,” she says, laughing as I bite the other side of her neck now, her body squirming against mine, ensuring my dick is also well and truly on board for that. “Oh, I meant to tell you,” she suddenly says. “Our place sold.”
“What?” I ask, huffing out a laugh at the complete change in subject.
Daisy props herself up on my chest. “Our place,” she repeats.
“The shop?” I ask, feigning confusion.
“Yeah,” she says, pouting a little. “I didn’t even know it was for sale.”
I slide my hands to her ass, squeezing it as I say, “Huh, me either.” It’s not a total lie because when I first inquired, I didn’t know it was for sale.
“Sucks,” she now says.
Laughing, I give her ass a smack as I say, “How about I fuck it better for you and then take you somewhere for a surprise?” I suggest, knowing it’s sooner than I intended but still feels right.
“A surprise?” she asks, her face perking up because Daisy fucking loves surprises.
“Yeah,” I reply with a grin. “But first,” I add, grinding my hips against hers.
This earns me a smirk as Daisy pulls herself from my grip, sitting up on my hips as she rocks herself against me. “Okay,” she says, a teasing smile on her face. “But this time, I’m fucking you how I want to.”
And then she does.
“I need to swing by home and grab some clothes,” she says as we walk into the kitchen, just in time to see Lisa toss up a wave as she disappears out the back door.
I turn to Kai, dressed in nothing but a pair of boxers as he leans against the counter, a huge-ass grin on his face. “What the fuck was that?” I ask.
Kai’s grin widens as he crosses his arms over his chest. “That was Lisa,” he says matter-of-factly, as though it’s obvious.
I blink at my brother. “Ah, no shit it was Lisa,” I say. “She come by this morning?”
Kai laughs. “Well, if you mean around two this morning, then yeah, she did.”
“Oh my god,” Daisy squeals beside me. “She came here for a booty call? Kai!”
Kai bursts out laughing now, pushing off the bench as he walks toward us. Up close, I can see the start of a bruise on his jaw, which no doubt he’s proud of.
“What’s wrong, Daze?” he teases, flicking the end of her nose.
“She’s my boss!” Daisy replies with a laugh.
“I know,” he says, raising his brows.
Daisy groans, shaking her head at my brother as she asks, “Is this like the first time it’s happened?” I swear, even I laugh at that question and Daisy’s obvious cluelessness about my brother.
“Oh my god, Daze, you do realize my brother is a manwhore, don’t you?”
“Yeah,” she says, at the same time as Kai says, “And that’s a problem why?”
Shaking my head at him, I open the fridge, grabbing the bottle of OJ. “Trust me when I say this isn’t even close to being the first time he and Lisa have hooked up,” I say, giving Daisy a wink. “Pretty sure it started, what, when you were in—”
“My final year of high school,” he replies, a proud smile on his face.
“Oh my god,” Daisy cries, half laughing, half groaning. “You’ve been hooking up with my boss for years?”
“I mean, to be fair, she’s only been your boss for the past year, Daze,” he says, pointing a finger at her.
She rolls her eyes at Kai as she says, “Not really the point here.”
Kai laughs, pushing off the counter as he makes his way toward the bathroom. “Point is, she’s hot, Daze, and I have a thing for older women,” he calls, laughing as he disappears down the hall. “When she calls, I say yes.”
Daisy turns to me, a look of shock on her face that has me laughing. I take a swig of juice from the bottle before holding it out to her. “He’s just messing with you.”
She blinks, taking the bottle from me. “So he isn’t hooking up with her?”
“Oh no, he is. It’s random, but yeah, he is,” I confirm. “He just likes messing with you. Don’t bite. It only encourages him.”
“Oh, god, how can I unsee this?”
Slinging my arm around her shoulders, I pull her close as I say, “Come on. Let’s go get you some clothes, and then I have a surprise for you.”
