My Step-Dad's Brother(44)
Lucas’s gaze swept me up and down, checking to make sure I was okay. Fury flared in his eyes when he caught sight of me holding my wrist gingerly. I jumped up from my chair when he pulled Charles even closer.
“It looks like Jade wants nothing to do with you or your understanding. So how about you keep your hands off her.”
“Please,” Charles sputtered. “A woman like her wouldn’t be offended by my offer. I was going to be very generous with her.”
“Shut the fuck up before I make you,” Lucas growled.
“Why are you so pissed off?” As crazy as it seemed, Charles looked like he truly didn’t understand Lucas’s anger. “You should be happy to get her off your hands after the way her mother trapped your father into marriage.”
I gasped in outrage at the slight to my mom, the sound reminding both men of my presence.
“You know what? I don’t have time for this shit.” Lucas punctuated his statement with a sharp jab to Charles’s chin, releasing his collar and letting him fall to the ground. Then he reached for me and ushered me out of the room.
Lucas had fully explained his situations and concerns before I completely agreed to attend the dinner. I was pretty sure his plan to lure clients on his own without the help of his current board had been thrown out the window. Practically dragging me from the most expensive restaurant in town while threatening a colleague and punching him in the face probably wasn’t the best way to earn anyone’s business.
Chapter 10
Lucas
I kept a firm grip on Jade’s hand, dragging her away from the lecherous asshole who’d had the nerve to touch what was mine. Glancing behind to make sure I wasn’t going too fast, my eyes once again skimmed over her.
When she had walked down the steps earlier in the evening (informing me it was the only way to make a grand entrance), she’d taken my breath away. Her platinum hair was pulled back into a long, straight ponytail, showing off her neck, with sparkling studs in her ears. Her collarbone and shoulders were bare save for the tiny straps of her emerald green dress. The rest of the shimmery fabric molded to her body, those unbelievable curves, making my mouth water. The dress fell to just above her knees, but there was a peeking split on her left side going up higher than I was comfortable with.
I’d managed to keep my trap shut and deal with it, not wanting to spoil what would probably be the only good thing about her evening besides an outrageously expensive steak. It had taken all of my strength to walk out the door instead of sweeping her back upstairs to the bedroom.
After watching these assholes drool over her and being forced to pretend I didn’t care, I was already at a breaking point. But, to walk up to her being propositioned was more than I could take.
Before we reached the front of the restaurant, I’d texted my driver to come and pick us up. Nights like these, I always had a driver so I could drink with my colleagues. However, I’d been doing my best to dazzle Jade and I’d brought her in a stretch limousine. She’d laughed and told me I was being too over the top, but the excited twinkle in her green eyes confirmed I’d made the right choice.
Within minutes of arriving outside, the limo came to a stop at the curb, and we slipped inside. I tugged Jade close to me on the bench seat and picked up the phone to speak with the driver.
“Back to the house.” Jade shifted and her tits pressed against my side, causing my pants to be in serious jeopardy of shredding around the teeth of the zipper. “Take the long way,” I snapped and tossed the phone back into its cradle.
Without wasting any more time, I grasped her small waist and lifted her over my lap, so she was straddling me. Our mouths connected and the temperature in the enclosed space exploded. She tasted like chocolate and caramel, her body was warm and pliant in my arms. Before I lost all sense of logic, my arm flopped around beside me until it found the button for the privacy screen and I heard it whoosh into place.
Working my mouth down her neck, one of my hands lowered the zipper on the back of her dress, while the other dropped a strap off of her shoulder. I kissed the bare spot while the loosening of her dress allowed me to pull the top down to her waist, freeing her heavy, naked tits. Then my hands cupped the globes, lifting them up as an offering and I latched onto one of her hard, pink nipples.
She cried out and rocked against me. I remembered everything about our first weekend together, especially how sensitive her nipples had been. But, the last few times we’d fucked, it was like they were ten times more so and I vaguely wondered if I could make her come just from playing with them.
It was a test for another day, though. I was so far gone, I was almost feral, sucking and biting a nipple with my mouth, while my fingers toyed with the other. Jade’s sweet cries and her strong grip on my head urged me to continue to torture her.
