Snake's Addiction(31)

Snake pulled Jessica against his side. “How is she doing?”

“She’ll be fine. Providing she takes rest, and everyone keeps up her spirits. Everything should be fine now. The biggest problem is the baby. He could take a turn at a moment’s notice. It’s why he’s staying in the hospital so they can keep an eye on him.”

“Jessica?” Lexie said.

They all turned toward them. Snake saw the interest in the single men’s eyes. Gripping the back of her neck, he sent a glare out to all of them. This woman was his. None of them had a chance.

“I brought you a nurse, Devil,” Snake said.

“Finally a woman of sense.” Devil walked up. “Tell my very sexy, but very stubborn, wife that she must rest.”

Jessica smiled. “Lexie, I’m afraid I’m going to have to agree with your husband. You really need to rest. You’ve had quite a scare with Judi. It wouldn’t be right for me to say otherwise. Rest, you’re heavily pregnant and really need to take care of yourself and the baby.”

Devil cheered while Lexie huffed.

“Please don’t hate me,” Jessica said.

“You’re the nurse. You know what you’re talking about whereas this big lug doesn’t. He’s only happy that you agree with him. I heard what you did to Amy.”

He watched as Jessica glanced down. “I’m sorry—”

“It was about time someone put her in her place. She was getting a little too full of herself.” Lexie patted her on the arm. “Some of the sweet-butts really think they can just fuck our men and we’ll not do anything. I’m pleased you showed them it wasn’t the case.”

“And it made me hard as rock,” Snake said.

“Ew, too much information. Thanks for the visual.” Lexie covered her eyes and shook her head. “Have fun at the party.”

Snake tugged her back against him. “You’re going to have a lot of fun.”

“I really am sorry about that girl.”

“Don’t say anything and spoil my fantasy. The only thing missing was lubricant or mud. I don’t know which one would have been more appealing.”

“Has anyone told you that you can be a real horn dog?”

“Only you.” He wrapped his arms across her rounded stomach. “And now I’m only horny for you.”

Tilting her head back, he sealed his lips over hers. For the first time since they got together in front of others, Jessica melted against him. She did so in private but never in front of people. Even in the diner earlier, she hadn’t relaxed. He wanted her to relax around him so that it was natural to her.

“What are you doing to me?” she asked, whispering the words against his lips.

“I could ask you the same thing.” He was changing, and it was all down to this one woman in his arms.

Later that night the party did finally pick up. Judi and Ripper were on the dance floor. The happy couple had already been congratulated and was now dancing close together. Jessica leaned against one of the walls, sipping from a can of soda watching Ripper and Judi dance. Snake had left to have a smoke with a couple of the men. She saw there were a lot of men, and a lot of women from town. Some of the women were the club whores that Snake told her about while others were just women who wanted sex.

“Hi, you’re Jessica right? I’m June.” A slender woman stood in front of her offering a hand.

“Hello,” Jessica said, without taking the offered hand.

“I’m one of the club whores,” she said.

Raising a brow, she stared at the other woman wondering if she was stupid or silly.

“I heard what you did to Amy. I wanted to come and be honest with you.”

Standing up, Jessica stared at the pretty woman. She had brown hair, with pretty green eyes.

“Well, have you come to stick up for your kind?” Jessica hated being a bitch, but Snake did warn her that the only way to survive with these women was to be harsh. It was what they knew.

“No. I fuck the men who aren’t available. I wouldn’t dream of being with the men who are. Believe it or not, I actually have some morals.”

“You’ve never fucked Snake?”

“I didn’t say I’d never fucked him. I’ve never fucked Devil or Ripper. They were taken even before I came around. Snake, he wasn’t seeing anyone when I arrived.”

“Why do you sleep with lots of men?” Jessica asked, no longer hating the woman. She couldn’t exactly bitch at her for being honest and human. Snake was a good looking man.

“I like it. You like being a nurse, I like fucking men. I’m not ready to settle down nor do I want to. I have an itch that needs to be scratched just like every other woman.”
