Hearts on Fire 4: Kisses Sweeter Than Pie(33)

“Well, then let’s go, but we’re not staying late. I want to get back here so we can explore what’s hiding underneath that dress,” Johnny said. Nina walked ahead of him between Buddy and Trent, who chuckled.

“Oh, that’s easy. Nothing.” She sashayed out the door and down the steps. He stopped her by the truck, pulled her into his arms, and held her firmly with his eyebrows scrunched up.

“Did you say that you’re not wearing any undergarments?” Johnny asked.

Trent and Buddy watched and waited.

“Maybe I am, maybe I’m not.” Before Johnny could reach under her dress to check, she swatted his hand and got into the truck right in the front between Trent and Buddy.

“You are very naughty, Nina. You know what I do when my woman’s naughty?” Johnny asked, leaning forward from the backseat. She tilted her head back, exposing her breasts to his view. He inched his fingers over her shoulder straight to her cleavage. He stuck his hand inside and his eyes widened. Now he knew she wore no bra.

“A spanking. You’re going to get a spanking. And if you aren’t wearing any panties, I may just have a little taste of you right back here in the truck on the way home.” He squeezed her breast again and she nearly moaned.

“We’ll see, Johnny. That all depends on whether or not you behave.”

She turned around, causing him to remove his hand and sit back as Trent drove the truck out of the driveway.

“Sounds like a challenge to me, bro,” Buddy said.

Johnny rubbed his hands together and smiled. “I love me a challenge, especially when the prize is my sweet, horny little Nina.”

“Johnny!” she reprimanded, but Trent and Buddy chuckled. She sat there trying to calm her body and the desire to jump over the seat and give Johnny the ride of his life.

She’d come a long way in a short period of time with these men. Every day she was falling deeper and deeper in love with them. She wondered why she still held back from telling them that she loved them.

Because I’m still scared of getting hurt and being used. When will these feelings disappear?

Nina was really enjoying the Station. It was such a cool place with lots of memorabilia and old pictures everywhere. She could spend hours looking at them. The band was playing, their first performance at the Station. Hal, Billy, Jake’s dad, Burt, and his friend Jerome had installed a new stage. It was going to be a regular Friday and Saturday night event with bands and talent performing for the patrons.

Johnny wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. She felt his lips against her neck and his hand squeezed her hip bone. She noticed that Trent, Buddy, and especially Johnny were really being affectionate. Their public display was obviously done to warn off any other men. Truth was, she didn’t mind at all. She felt so comfortable with them. She really hoped that this relationship worked out, because the thought of losing them or something going wrong to break them apart instantly made her feel sick. She had this burning tightness in her chest. It scared her and she turned in Johnny’s arms and hugged him tight.

His hands caressed her back. One slid over her ass and squeezed it quickly before turning to her back.

“Are you okay?” he whispered.

God, he’s so amazing and in tune to me.

She wanted to tell him that she loved him and that she never wanted to be apart but feared he would find her clingy. Which was exactly what she was doing right now, clinging to his neck, trying to pull his scent, his cologne, all Johnny into her and ease this uncertainty and fear she was suddenly overwhelmed with. Nina needed to pull it together.

She swallowed hard.

“I just like hugging you. It feels good in your arms, Johnny.”

His concerned expression turned into a smile. His lip curled. He got that sexy, flirty twinkle in his eye, and he licked his lower lip. “You feel good in my arms, too, baby. Better than anything.”

She kissed him softly on the lips, and he pulled her tighter and explored her mouth deeply, making her moan. She had to get it together, so she pressed against his chest and eased her lips from his. She stepped back, needing a reprieve before their make-out session turned into a live porn act in front of a crowd of strangers. Why that thought aroused her and made her think of nothing more than taking him into a dark corner and having her way with his body she didn’t know. She shook her head.

She felt the hands on her shoulders and an extra-large body press against her.

“Everything okay over here?” Trent asked. She closed her eyes and then turned toward him.

“Good,” she whispered, voice sounding shaky.

“I’d better be sure,” Trent said. His brown eyes sparkled with mischief as he leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. His hand roamed across her ass and he pulled her tighter.

When he released her lips, she felt faint.

“Baby, I don’t think I’m going to be able to stay here much longer. I need inside you. Deep, way deep into you.” Her cheeks warmed as he pressed his hand under her hair and cupped the base of her head. He was going to kiss her again, and by the reaction her body had right now, she would orgasm right here by the bar.

“I need to use the ladies’ room. Will you excuse me a moment?”

He leaned down and kissed her cheek. “You gonna run away from me, baby?”

She shook her head, but she was thinking, Hell yeah, so I don’t come right here and moan loudly. “I need to go,” she whispered. He scrunched his eyebrows together and that damn firm expression made her thighs quiver and her pussy ache. Damn, these men were so fine.

Making pies used to consume her every thought. Now suddenly, making love to Trent, Buddy, and Johnny together ruled her every thought. She shivered as she turned to walk away, and there was Buddy.

He took her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed the top.

“Where ya going? My brothers scare you with their public display of possession?” he asked, then pulled her into his arms and held her around the waist with his hands locked behind her lower back. She held on to his forearms and smiled.

“They were being a bit wild, but I liked it,” she admitted. He smiled.

“Good, because I give us about another twenty minutes tops and then we’re out of here so we can get you home and make love for the rest of the night.”

She hugged him and then looked back up at him. “I’ll be right back, okay?”

He nodded and released her, but not before he gave her ass a light tap just as a group of guys was checking her out. She felt a little on edge as she passed the men gawking, but one look over her shoulder at Buddy’s, Trent’s, and Johnny’s mean expressions toward the men had her feeling giddy inside. She waved at them and Johnny winked at her then watched her ass as she headed toward the bathroom.

Nina waited in a short line. It was pretty damn crowded in there. She finally got into the ladies’ room, did her business, then looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked so healthy and vibrant. She knew it had to do with her men. Tonight she was going to be completely honest, put all her fears behind her, and tell them how much she loved them.

She turned to head out of the ladies’ room and back into the very crowded bar when someone bumped into her.

She looked at the blonde, hair all done up, lots of makeup, her breasts pouring from a two-sizes-too-small red tube dress she wore, and the woman smiled. Nina’s gut instincts kicked in and put her on guard.

“Hi, I know you don’t know me and are new around here, but as a woman, I felt it necessary to kind of give you a warning,” she said.

Someone else bumped into Nina and she was forced to move closer to the wall. The young woman moved with her.

“Warn me?” Nina asked.

“Those guys you’re with, they’re bad news, and they can’t be trusted.”

Nina’s heart started pounding. She gave the woman an expression that told her she wasn’t buying her shit, but then the woman hurried to continue.

“Johnny, the paramedic, is a playboy. He picks up women all the time as a paramedic. I’ve heard that he does them right there in the back of the ambulance.”

Nina was shocked, and she started having those funny, insecure sensations in her gut.

“He was charged with sexual harassment months ago for trying his playboy shit on some unsuspecting patient he responded to a call on. I’m just telling you that he and his brothers like to use women. They say how they haven’t met anyone like you or haven’t had sex in a long time, but they are full of shit. Believe me, my friends have had the misfortune of falling for their lies. They even have bets going as to how many women they can fuck. Johnny has a board right in the back of the ambulance. It’s sick. I just wanted to warn you.” She looked Nina over. “You seem sweet. Too sweet to be pulled down by such losers like them.”

Nina was shocked and confused and didn’t want to believe what this woman said when she pulled out her cell phone.

“Don’t believe me about the sexual harassment charges?” She showed Nina her cell phone and a newspaper report about Johnny being accused of sexual harassment and getting suspended from the job.

Nina didn’t know what to think or to do as she turned around, unsure where the exit was. She hurried out of the bathroom and away, away from the men, the woman who’d just ruined her night, never mind her life and her happiness, and she ran toward the door.
