HAWG
Iwalk around the bar, pour a glass of orange juice for myself and take a long drink before pouring a cup of coffee from the pot on the back. “You wanna cup?” I ask.
“Sure. I’ll grab some cream.” Onyx joins me behind the bar and pulls a coffee creamer of some sort out of the refrigerator, turning the black coffee into a toffee color by the time she’s through.
“There’s a bagel with your name on it if you’re hungry, but I ordered breakfast for everyone who stayed last night.
It should be here in another forty minutes.
Pearl has us all on lockdown today, wants to have church so I ordered enough food to get us all through the day.
Grocery delivery should be here soon, too,” she says, settling back in on her stool on the other side of the bar.
“Are we going to sit around and talk about food all morning or are you going to tell me exactly what happened yesterday? I woke up and you were gone. Skye said you heard some bullshit story about me making it with a bunny back at the club. Didn’t happen.”
“We’re not exclusive, you can do whatever you want, Hawg.
I have no rights to ask you not to bang whoever it is you want to bang.
” She shrugs. “Don’t exactly like the fact that it was the same day.
Who knows what that skank carries, but it’s water under the bridge now.
As long as I don’t come down with something I’ll survive. ”
I set my coffee down and walk around the bar, spin her stool and lift her chin with my finger. “I said it didn’t happen. If it had happened, I would tell you. Like you said, we’re not exclusive right now.”
“From what I heard you bought her and her friend a drink, and it wasn’t the first time you’ve slept with either of them.”
I try not to grin, but it’s fucking hard with her glaring at me with those stark green eyes. This is what jealousy looks like and it means she fucking cares. “It’s no secret I’ve slept with the bunnies over the years. I’ve been single for a lot of years, Onyx.”
She exhales a breath…
“But I can tell you I’ve never once cheated on a person I was in a committed relationship with and I didn’t sleep with either one of them the other day.
Whatever you heard? It was bunny talk, plain and simple.
But they were at the bar, and I told the barkeep to give them both a drink.
That’s the extent of our interactions. I made some calls and came back here ready to find you, which I did. ”
Her pulse races so fast that it’s hard to settle my emotions down. I should have gone slower. Things are happening fast and I knew she had to work through some trust issues before. Damn those bunnies all to hell.
She swallows hard. “Okay, I appreciate you letting me know, but it doesn’t change much. Better that we say goodbye now while we’re still amiable. We’re both part of clubs that will mingle from time to time, and I don’t want us to get to the point that we hate each other.”
I scowl. This is not going in the direction I thought it would take. “Why would we end up hating each other? Explain.”
She shrugs. “I knew who you were and what you were like before we went to bed. It’s not like I thought you were different and you’re not. I just think it’s better that we don’t get more involved. We had a great time, and now we can go our separate ways.”
I imprison her with my arms on the top of her bar stool and lean down so close that I can smell the mint of her toothpaste. “It sounds like you still think that after I told you I didn’t touch a bunny that I did. I would never lie to you. What’s the point?”
She swallows. I nuzzle a strand of hair that’s fallen over her eyes back from her face with my nose, inhaling the sweetness of her scent.
“Whoever hurt you, they were so fucking stupid, but I’m not him, Onyx.
You’re giving this fuck too much power over your feelings.
You have to find a way to let what he did to you go or you’re never going to have room for someone else. ”
“Like you?”
I kiss the sensitive skin of her neck, starting at the base and working my way up to her ear. “Only fucking me, Onyx.”
She inhales deeply and shivers, causing my dick to get hard. “Put your legs around me because I’m either fucking you on the bar or carrying you back to bed.”
Onyx does exactly as I ask, wrapping those long gazelle-like legs around me while putting her arms around my neck as I lift her into my arms and make my way upstairs, kissing her as we go.
Skye’s standing at the top of the landing when we reach it and has a huge smile on her face, allowing us to pass before she heads downstairs. “Have a great talk,” she calls back.
Onyx nuzzles into my neck. “We should talk about this.”
“We’re done talking,” I growl against the sweetness of her lips. “I want you, Onyx. Not just for a day or two or to fuck. You are mine.”
She tightens her grip around my waist, and I swear the heat of her pussy burns the rock-solid firmness of my cock. The minute the door’s closed, I put her on the bed, unzipping her jeans and tugging them and her socks and boots off.
I need to be in her right now.
This chemistry is burning us up. She tries to sit up, but I keep a hand on her lower belly, already on my knees because her sweetness is the only sustenance I need.
Her hips raise as she takes what I give, lick after lick, slow then steady, then slow again, right over that little button and then backing off a little to make it last. Just watching her in the throes of passion, so close but not right there is such a turn-on that I’m dying to be inside her heat.
This isn’t going to be long and slow like last night, our need is far too fucking intense for that and the minute she’s soaking the sheets and my chin, I’ve got my belt unbuckled, pants down, pushing her knees to her chest to sink to the very end of her as she slides out of her tank.
But this time, I want more than her screaming my name. “Tell me you’re mine,” I growl.
