I jumped up from behind my desk and walked around the room as if that would help me escape this new hell, but I knew from what I had experienced these last few days that it wasn’t going to work; nothing would.
Well, that’s not entirely true. Something would work, but that something just might lead to my total destruction. I’m trying hard to make that matter, but it’s getting harder with each passing day. I thought that the more time passed, the less power this newly awakened attraction would have, but it seems to be going in the opposite direction.
With each passing moment, the desire and need for her just seem to get deeper and more persistent. I know where this is going and where it needs to end, but I’m just not ready yet. I’m not sure if I will ever be. Who the hell looks forward to giving up who they are to become someone entirely different?
I don’t know what Dad was like before he met Mom, but I know that between him and my little brother, the love game has not been kind to them. Granted, they’re like Mandarin ducks who mate for life, but the way their women run them, hell no, I refuse to sign up for that bullshit.
Mom rules Dad with a look from across the room, and my demented brother would burn the whole world down if it would stop his woman from crying. I live with this shit and have seen it every single day; no thanks. Add the fact that both their women are ten times more relaxed and somewhat saner than Jessie, and I’d be a fool to go anywhere near that shit.
“Fuck it; where the hell is she?” I left the office and headed out to my car. I’m going to have this out with her once and for all. I refuse to be her little fucking puppet on a string.
JESSICA
“Hey!” I snatched the towel I had covering my face from the sun off my face and got ready to square off with whichever one of my idiot brothers thought it was a good idea to disrupt my peace and quiet. Instead, I sat up in haste, only to come face to face with my nemesis. This bitch! Did I conjure him with my stupid thoughts?
I got even more pissed just looking at him. “Yo, what about our last conversation convinced you that I was remotely interested in having another one with you?” If looks could slaughter, his ass would be fish bait. My eyes were damn near crossed as hard as I was glaring up at him.
For some reason, he wasn’t speaking, just towering over me like a jackass with that stupid look on his face. There was no emotion written on his face, so I was very surprised by his next move. “HEY!” I yelled when he leaned down and dragged me up off the lounger.
I opened my mouth to blast him, but this fiend shoved his tongue in my mouth while holding me hostage with his arm wrapped tight around my waist and the other gripping my hair in a fist. Has he lost his mind? I tried asking that question with my mouth full of his tongue.
I tried even harder to hold onto my anger, but without my bidding, I became very aware of our closeness. It started with the feel of my bikini-clad nipples pressed hard against his hard, muscled chest, then moved onto the way I felt safe and somewhat coddled in his embrace, like finally coming home.
My mind was screaming for me to get the hell away from him, but my body seemed more than happy to leave things just the way they are. Each time I caught my breath and tried breaking away, that grip on my hair grew tighter, and I lost my train of thought again.
I was sneakily enjoying it just a little, but I’d be damned if I let him know that. I was very aware that I wasn’t breathing and hadn’t for at least half a minute. Everything in me was on high alert, but his mouth was doing things that were messing with my mind.
I couldn’t hold a thought; they all disappeared as soon as they came, and I became one big ball of heat. There was a tingling sensation running from the top of my head to the bottoms of my feet, and I could no longer hear the world around me.
He teased my tongue out of hiding with his, and I almost swooned when he caught it and sucked ever so gently before giving me his tongue to feed on again. We went on like that for I don’t know how long, but I was fast losing the fight.
Then things changed, and I was the one chasing his tongue around like a wanton hussy. This jackass waited until I had no fight left and was all but giving in to release me as abruptly as he’d grabbed me. It only took a moment to clear my head, and I clamped my legs together to keep the kitty in her drawers because she was acting kinda suspect. Then the dust cleared, and I was back to my senses or close enough.
