“He’s, you know, taking people out for you, Lark. I really don’t think you’re getting ahead of yourself here. It sounds like pussy comes easily to guys like him. He didn’t need to go this far out of his way to get some tail. He did this because he’s into you.”
“Maybe. Hopefully.”
I didn’t want to admit just how much I was hoping he was right. Because I was starting to like Remy a bit more than seemed appropriate given how long we had known each other.
“He said he is going to drop by your place to pack some stuff up for you,” I told him. “He said to send him a list of anything you might need from there. Or the store.”
“Huh.”
“Huh?”
“He just… does shit.”
“I know!” I said, slapping a hand on the cement. “Right? It’s unexpected and welcome but also strange.”
“I mean, I’ve had women do that kind of shit. But no guys I’ve ever been with do that two-steps-ahead thinking. It’s kind of hot.”
“It’s really hot.”
“Who’d have thunk that competence would be so damn appealing?” he asked as he put down his drink and slipped into the water.
That was exactly what it was.
Competence.
He had it handled.
It freed up a lot of brain space.
And I seemed to be filling that space with X-rated thoughts about him.
Each time my gaze slit toward the area in the pool he’d first kissed me and went down on me, or the spot where he’d slid inside me, I felt the need building through my system again.
The sensation only continued to grow during the day until, nearly at dinner time, I finally got a text from Remy.
Need anything?
I really was just too consumed with my own damn needs to care about how needy my response was.
- Just you.
Fuck, babe, you can’t say that to me when I have to stop at the store.
- I’ve been thinking about you all day
You’re killing me.
- We hung out by the pool, and all I could do was look back at the place where you went down on me. And where you slipped inside me.
The dogs don’t really need new treats, do they?
- They really do.
I am in no condition to go into a store right now.
- I should probably apologize for that…
Woman, when I get there, you are going to pay for this.
