Something Forever(3)

“So you are going to Las Vegas to check out the strippers?”

“Jea...lous?” She dragged out the word, thoroughly enjoying that I was. “Plus, this is my first time.”

“This is your first time?” With my elbow on the bed, I propped my head on my hand to rest in order to get a good look at her. “Seriously?” My tone went up a notch in surprise.

Becca gazed at me inquisitively. “Seriously?” she scowled. “What? What kind of girl do you think I am?” Becca jumped out of bed, appearing slightly offended. She slipped on her white robe. Every time I saw her in it, I was reminded of the day when she practically gave me a lap dance, and also of the time when I’d visited her at her parents’ house. To my surprise, she had been naked underneath it.

I never could get it. Why did girls get upset over a simple, innocent question? I was just surprised, that was all. But nooo...they had to read into words and gather absurd meanings behind them that made no sense. I hadn’t meant anything by it. “Becca.” I sat up and put on my clothes. I had to think of something fast. “I didn’t mean anything bad. Your friend Kate got married, so I figured you took her to Las Vegas.”

Becca was fumbling through her drawers, looking like she was busy, but I knew the reason why. Her beautiful brown eyes slowly met mine, and it seemed like she was allowing my words to sink in. “Oh.” She paused. “She wanted to do something simple. She was pregnant.”

I walked to her, anticipating her pushing me away, but she didn’t. Instead, she held me tightly as if to apologize. Moving back a little, I kissed her forehead and rested my forehead against hers. “You okay?”

“Sorry I overreacted,” she sighed. “Sometimes I get moody, especially around that time of the month.”

I pulled back to get a better look at her face. “Moody or not moody, I’m here. We’ll work things through. We’re getting to know each other. I can’t read your mind, Becca, but I promise to be a good listener.”

Becca held me tightly again. “You’re too good to me. I think I love you.”

They were the sweetest words I’d heard in a long time, and tugged at my heart. “I think I love you, too.”

She gave me a bright smile, the kind of smile that made my heart warm, and I tenderly kissed her lips.

“Can you go somewhere with me when I come back?” she asked. Her brows arched while she bit her bottom lip.

The look she portrayed was half seductive and half worried, as if I would say no to her. It was difficult to read this expression. Of course, naughty thoughts ran through my mind as I wondered where she wanted to go. “Where?”

Becca’s eyes were glassy. Was she tearing up? “In two weeks, it will be the exact date my friend passed away. It’s been several years. I think it’s about time to visit her and wash away my guilt.”

Caressing her cheeks, I stated, “Of course, I’ll go anywhere you ask me to go with you. But after that, I have an appointment I need to take care of. You think we could go first thing in the morning? Would that work for you?” Little did she know I had planned to visit Tessa on the same day. It was the same date as her roommate’s death, but I decided not to mention it. What were the odds?

With a huge smile gracing her face, Becca nodded. She was pleased with my answer. “Good. Then it’s a date.” I winked. “You know …” I licked her lips. “I don’t have to go to work right away. Jenna is there, holding down the fort.” I swabbed my tongue across her jawline and slid my hands down her back to her ass. I knew Becca loved what I was doing when I felt her whimper; not only that, her hands couldn’t get enough of my chest.

“Round two?” I whispered in her ear.

Her head fell back. The robe slid off her shoulders to expose her naked body. “Maybe more.”

I smiled and chuckled lightly at her answer. After kissing her passionately, I picked her up. When Becca anchored her legs around my hips, her breasts were at the perfect angle. On our way to her bed, I licked and sucked from one nipple to the other.

Jenna’s eyes grew wide and her mouth opened in shock when we entered her place. I soon found out why. Matthew and Becky were making a lot of noise in Becky’s bedroom, which was just too funny and disgusting. I couldn’t help but try to hold in my laughter as Jenna was doing the same. Luckily, we had come at the tail end of it. At least this made her laugh a little.

Jenna wasn’t feeling well, so I’d driven her home. I had planned to head back to work after I knew she was comfortable. However, it looked like Matthew didn’t go to work today. He probably thought Jenna was there, holding down the fort. Just as I headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water for Jenna, Matthew entered. Thank God he at least had his boxers on, but he was shocked and embarrassed as hell.
