“You’re damned right I didn’t. And do you know why? Because it wasn’t my place Lexi. It was yours. Just like it was Justin’s. And it’s been handled so you need to keep your nose out of this. Have I made myself clear?”
Lexi just stood there and nodded. Terri then turned to Ava and the tight rein she’d had on her anger flew right out the window.
“And you! For God’s sake, he’s your brother!” she spat out. “You’re supposed to stand up for him...you’re supposed to have his back, not knock him down every chance you get. What the hell kind of sister are you? It makes me wonder how you treat your friends.”
Then for the coup de grace, she said to both of them, “If either one of you ever makes a disparaging comment about Justin’s past to either him or me again, I will consider that a breach of our friendship. And Ava, I will consider it a serious breach of family relations. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone treated so horribly in my life. And this shit show coming from you Lexi, considering how your family ditched you, makes me ashamed of your behavior.”
And what she did next made me want to curl up around her and never let her go. She walked right up to me and slid her hands into my hair, raised herself to her tiptoes and laid the biggest kiss on me I’d ever had. My arms went around her waist and tightened so I could lift her off the ground in my arms as we continued to kiss...and kiss...and kiss. What an avenging angel my girl turned out to be!
God I didn’t want to, but I knew I had to pull away. What I really wanted to do was take her upstairs, undress her and make love to this beautiful woman standing in front of me. My body screamed for her, my heart pounded for her and I was hard as stone for her.
“You amaze me. In every way.” I kissed her again and couldn’t stop my hand from traveling to that place where I always felt something pushing at my chest. I rubbed it for a second and then I grabbed her hand and placed it right over that spot and held it there. She looked at me in a curious way, but I didn’t say a word, I just looked at her gorgeous face and smiled.
“Come on. We better get back to the party before they send out a posse.”
“I couldn’t care less about a posse right now. I just want you in my arms Justin.”
How did she always know the right thing to say? There was a door that led to the back courtyard so I pulled her outside and into my arms. It was chilly out, but not too bad. We sat on an old bench and kissed for a bit. My hands were all over her. I tried not to touch her in places I shouldn’t be, but I swear I had to ball up my hands in fists and she was the one who opened them up and put them on her body.
“It’s okay. You can touch me.”
“I didn’t want anyone to see us. I don’t want them to get the wrong impression of you Terri.”
She gave me a cheeky grin and said, “Ah, worried about my reputation, are you?”
“Uh huh,” I said as I picked up her hand and kissed her fingers. “I’m always worried about your reputation.” I began to suck on her index finger. I slid the whole thing into my mouth and then pulled it out and bit the soft end of it. But I just left it there and let my tongue swirl around the tip.
She was very quiet as I did that and I watched the expression on her face go from playful to seriously seductive in zero point two seconds.
“I wanna go home. Can we go home and then come back?”
“No Terri,” I whispered, right before I repeated the same sucking action on her next finger. She sucked in her breath and then softly moaned. When I completed my finger torture I took her chin in my hand and lifted it so I could kiss her and I whispered against her mouth, “Now you’ll have lots to look forward to. When I get you home I’m going to suck on every one of your fingers like that and then I’m going to lick you all over Terri, right before I make love to you.”
I watched her throat working itself, trying to swallow. She was aroused, as was I. My pants were grabbing me so I needed to cool things off here before we went inside, although the thought of her all hot and bothered just made me want to get all jacked up again.
I took her hand in mine and stood, helping her to her feet. She had a dazed look on her face and her cheeks were all flushed.
“You look a little feverish babe. Are you all right?” I smiled.
She cleared her throat and nodded, not answering. Stopping, she turned to me and her eyes scanned the terrace. I wasn’t sure what was going through her mind but she pulled my arm and we were soon heading away from the house. I think I knew what she was thinking and everything south of the border jerked in reaction. The garage was dead ahead and my girl was on a mission.
