“You and Jake? Is that a matter of the heart?” Every time his name comes up her eyes light up but then she hides it.
“There is no Jake and me.” I can see the sadness in her eyes. “He’s a good man but I’m not sure I have a full heart to give him.” Oh shit. If I was on the fence about Cyn before now she just pushed me right on over to liking her. I realize that I haven’t really had any girl time since Danny moved away. It’s nice to have someone to talk to about things. Even if neither one of us is willing to admit to our feelings.
“But you spend your life healing other’s hearts. Making them feel safe.”
She thinks about this for a moment. “Those who can’t do, teach?” She cocks a half smile but it doesn’t meet her eyes. I want to tell her that the only person she’s fooling is herself but I keep it to myself. She’s not ready, and I not only respect that, but I can also relate to it. I’m the last person that should be giving out advice about relationships since I’ve never been in one.
Unless you ask King. Apparently, he and I are in a committed relationship that he is already making all kinds of plans for.
I don’t only need to talk to my sister, but I need to clear my own head. Maybe a small taste of what King is trying to offer might help me with that. What’s the worst that could happen?
Chapter Nine
King
After Cyn left I moved into the living room with my laptop, wanting to be close to Slick. I’m doing the books when I hear, “So I heard sex is good for getting rid of tension.”
My head whips up so fast, I have to double-check to see if I broke my neck. Slick is bringing up sex? I run my fingers along my vertebrae and try to work out what she’s saying. Is it just an innocent question or is it an invitation?
“That’s what I’ve heard,” I respond, trying to feel her out. “You tense?”
She shrugs, stretching out her legs in front of the fireplace. “I’m worried about Danny, I guess.”
“She should be here soon. Sounds like you need a distraction.”
She peeks at me under a veil of lashes. “Maybe I do.”
“Can’t have any guest of mine suffering from a spot of anxiety.” I set my laptop aside and pat my lap. If she climbs on top of me, I’ll know exactly what she wants.
She stands immediately and all the blood in my head drops to my dick.
“Should I take off my clothes?” she asks. Her voice is small now; her bravado not as loud.
“Nope.” I can tell she’s not quite there yet. Whether it’s because she’s shy about her body or she’s nervous about letting me get her off, it’s not clear, which is why I’m not going to have her remove even her shirt.
I pat the top of my thigh. “Hop on over.”
She takes a step toward me. “How is this going to work?” Her eyes have a suspicious light in them. I crack my knuckles in anticipation. She’s not convinced I can make her come without her clothes off and my dick inside of her and while that day will come soon, I suspect it won’t be tonight. I’m still going to thoroughly enjoy this moment.
“I’m going to touch you. You’re going to tell me what you like and what you don’t like and then I’m going to make you come.”
“I don’t think you can.”
Yup, she has doubts, which is fine by me.
“If I don’t make you come, I’ll tell Jake to fly you and your sister anywhere you want tomorrow.”
She lowers herself to my thigh and throws out her arms. “Do your worst.”
I rearrange her so her ass is snug against my thickening cock and her legs are draped over my thighs. She squeaks as I position her.
“Problem?”
“N-no problem,” she says but it’s obvious this kind of thing is new for her. The fact that she’s a virgin fills me with a bad sort of bestial pleasure. I’ll be the first to touch her cunt. The first to pierce her sex. The first to claim her. It’s the thinking of a caveman, a Neanderthal, but I can’t stop it. My cock throbs in anticipation. Sinking in to her hot cunt will be the end of me. I’ll be ready to stop my life right then. What could possibly be better?
Desire thrums in my veins. I stroke my hand down her arm and try to calm myself, but touching her only makes me harder, fills me with more want. I draw a hand over her back and feel her tremble under my touch. It’s a good thing my jeans are zipped and there are two layers of clothing between my cock and her bare pussy or I’d be inside of her right now. I clear my throat and try to rein in the desire to flip her over onto her knees and take her.
