Room Fourteen: Making Her Beg

“I’m fine, why?” he asked, looking at me with calm brown eyes. The calm looked changed as he looked me over, took on a hint of desire.

“I just wanted to check,” I answered, unable to look away from him. The corners of his eyes tilted up at the outer edge, giving him a slightly exotic look. Diesel had always been handsome but tonight, knowing we were out together, that he was here with me, filled me with pride. This was my guy, or he would be soon. I studied him, memorizing his features for the billionth time in my life.

He must have gotten his looks from his father because he looked nothing like his mother, really.

His hand came down under the table, clasping at my thigh. Diesel smiled at me when I jumped a little. His fingers twitched on my skin, but the sever interrupted the moment when they brought our drinks to the table.

We placed our food orders, and the sever left us.

Diesel’s hand came back down to my thigh, only it landed a little higher than midthigh this time. His fingers were right at the hem of my skirt, and I looked at him, but he was watching the room.

“Why did you leave the other night?” I asked suddenly, the question the only thing I could think as his fingers inched slightly higher.

“What?” Diesel turned to me, confusion pulling his brows together.

“When you came to the house the other night, you left before we could go any further than we did. Why?”

He smiled slightly, his lips twisting up in a bitter way before it smoothed into something nicer. “Derek doesn’t want any of us to fuck you until we’ve all had a date with you and we’re all sure that’s what you want.”

His words flared over me. They talked about how to be with me? I wasn’t sure if I should be pissed or flattered.

He paused to lean closer, until his lips were against my ear. “We aren’t to let you come until we’re all together. That’s what comes once we’ve all had a date with you and you want us all. We all meet up and decide what comes next if it leads to that.”

“What?” I gasped, moving away enough to look into his eyes. Now our lips were close, and I was tempted to move in closer, to kiss him. Diesel was thinking about it too, his eyes on my lips revealing the temptation.

“It’s like this. We are all obsessed with you. No denying it, and we’re all thinking the same thing—fucking you. Sorry for being crude, but I’m being honest with you. And if agree to wanting it, then we decided we can’t let you come until we’re all together to be in on the…process.” Diesel grinned a wicked grin that nearly made me moan.

“I see,” I replied, letting my head fall to his shoulder, processing his words. “You bunch of assholes.”

His hand twitched again, coming under my skirt now, in contact with the white cotton panties I wore.

“Don’t you dare,” I warned him. “If you’re not going to get me off, you can keep your hands to yourself.”

“Aren’t we bossy,” Diesel teased, moving his middle finger over my panties, finding them damp, no doubt. I was wet for him, and I guess we both knew it now.

“I’m going insane,” I whispered to him. The last few days, full of anxiety for far too many reasons, the stress then mingled with desire, made something in my snap. I wanted to give in to my temptations tonight, I didn’t give a fuck what Derek wanted. This was about me, not him. “Call Derek, ask him if we can’t change it so that I can have a night with each of you first, then a night together.” Again, I pushed them, but deep inside, I was serious too. I was never someone shy of sex or asking for what I wanted.

“I can’t do that, Val. He’s my boss. My leader. I have to do what he says,” he said in a whisper made ragged with his own need. “I wish I could, but I can’t break that promise to him and Cam.”

“Hell,” I hissed out, wanting to tell him the date was over, but I sighed instead. “Fine. But I hate you all for this.”

“Wait until the third date. You’re really going to hate us all by then. But it will be so worth it when we’re all together because I’m getting the impression you want all of us. So, when we’re all there with you, we’ll make your brain absolutely explode, Val,” Diesel said, holding my gaze as he spoke. I nearly dragged him into the bathroom then, but I managed to stay in my seat. Two more dates, I reminded myself. I had two more dates knowing it wouldn’t end in anything explosive. I might die before then. It’s funny how when you’re told you don’t want something, you want it desperately no matter what.

“If you all insist on this I may need a lawyer,” I muttered, pulling away.

“Why?” Diesel asked, confused again.

“Because I just might murder all of you if you make me wait longer than I already have. I’ve waited years for this.”

“Val! I’m shocked, shocked I say!” He put his hand to his heart and feigned swooning.

“I’m serious, Diesel, stop playing! I’ve waited long enough,” I growled at him, but couldn’t help but smile at the end.

Diesel grinned a smile that made me want to slap him and fuck him harder at the same time. “Well, if you’ve waited that long, a few more days won’t matter, will it? And then you’ll be ours forever and you can have us whenever you want, any day of the week.”

Asshole.
