Curse's Claim (Chaos Bleeds)(19)
As she stared at him for several seconds, he didn’t move away. They faced each other, and she was struck by how different they were.
“A kiss for you to check on my mom. You spent all night kissing and fucking me.”
“Exactly, I want to know what it’s like to have those beautiful lips on mine without me having to take charge.” He stepped closer, invading her space.
“You’re making me do it now.”
“Maybe I am, but you’re going to have to convince me that you want this or I won’t go and help your mother.”
She wanted to deny him. Her break was more than enough time for her to get back to her mother.
Kiss him. You know you want to.
Running her hands up his bare chest, she circled her hands around his neck. “Curse, would you look after my mother?”
Before he could answer, she tugged him down to kiss him. He didn’t fight her and came down to her easily. She slid her tongue over his lips, and he opened his to let her inside.
Playing with the hair at the base of his neck, she melted against him loving the feel of his lips on hers.
His hand caught her ass, and Curse took over, kissing her deeply.
After what felt like a lifetime she pulled away from him. He licked his lips and smiled.
“Baby, you didn’t really have to convince me. I was happy with a kiss on the cheek.”
She punched him in the arm.
A quick breakfast of coffee and toast, and they were out on his bike. She held onto Curse as he rode the way back to the diner. He’d given her a pair of boxers to wear in place of the panties he tore the night before.
Outside of the diner he kept the bike running.
“I’ll come and collect you tonight.”
“I can’t stay away from my mom two nights in a row.”
“I’m not asking you to. We’ll spend the night at your mother’s. Don’t worry, I won’t fuck you for her to hear even though I think she’d be happy to know you get some excitement.”
She slapped his shoulder again. “Stop it. Make sure she takes her medication.”
Turning her back on him, she walked into the diner aware of his gaze on her. Mia saw she still had thirty minutes before her actual shift began. Nodding at several of the customers and waitresses she made her way to the staff room. Sitting on the bench nearest her locker she thought over what happened last night.
He was never going to let up. Curse didn’t fool her. The questions would stop for her, but he wouldn’t stop in his attempt to find out the answers. The staff room had a phone for them to make calls. She placed a couple of cents in the bowl and dialed Ashley’s number.
It rang a couple of times before Ashley answered.
“Whoever the fuck that is you tell them to be reasonable next time.” A male was shouting in the background.
“Shut it, Pussy. It’s my phone, and I can have calls whenever the hell I want. Hello,” Ashley said.
“Hey, it’s me, Mia.”
“Mia, honey, how are you?”
“Check the date. How do you think I am?”
The silence on the other end was deafening.
“Hey, where are you going?” Pussy asked.
“I’ve got to take this in private.” Ashley spoke up.
Resting her head against the wall, Mia wished she hadn’t called, but the only person she could talk to was her friend.
“I’m outside now. No one can hear us. What’s the matter, Mia?” Ashley asked.
“I just, I don’t know. I needed to talk to you. You’re the only one I can trust.”
“It was a long time ago. Prom night, remember. We promised each other we wouldn’t do this. We covered our asses, so stop bringing it up before you fucking curse us.” Ashley sounded broken over the line.
“I can’t stop.” Taking deep breaths, Mia did her best to get her rioting emotions under control. “It’s all right for you. You didn’t do anything.”
“I was there, and I helped. He was a bastard, Mia. We did the right thing.”
“You mean I did.”
“Is this about Curse? Is he asking questions?” Ashley asked.
“He’s always asking questions. It’s only a matter of time before he finds out the truth.” Opening her eyes, she turned to face the room. “He won’t take no for an answer.” And she’d grown tired of fighting him. She was always fighting him, and it hurt at times.
“Then make him forget about your past.”
“There’s only so much I can do and say. He’s relentless.”
Ashley started talking about other things.
“I need you to sleep with him,” Mia said, cutting her friend off.
“What?”
“He promised there wouldn’t be any other women. If you sleep with him, it’s a reason for me to stop.”
