After hearing Vicky come out of her daze, I popped him out of my mouth and moved back to the head of the bed. Blake moved his body back to mine, opening my legs.
Please don’t chew.
Please don’t chew.
And just as he was about to go downtown, his phone rang. I slumped my head back, blowing my hair away from my face. I needed a release. The look Ade was giving me earlier was directed right at my center.
“What?” he snapped at the person on the phone.
“Oh yeah? Is that right, Ade?” He chuckled, looking over at me.
“Oh, trust me, brother, I’m almost one hundred percent positive she’ll be worth it. Looking at the position she’s in now. All pink and wet, waiting for my tongue to slide all over that sweet pussy. Oh, and did I mention she’s a virgin?” He laughed while throwing his phone back onto the bed. I couldn’t believe he’d just outed me as a virgin. Fuck.
“I can’t believe you told some random guy about my virginity,” I said as I was pulling on my dress.
“Trust me, baby, he’s not going to be some random guy for much longer.”
I was pulling my hair out of the back of my dress when the door burst open with Ade storming directly toward me in all his beautiful glory. Even when he was mad—and boy was he mad—he was still beautiful. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
“Oh my God. What are you doing?” I protested as he began walking out the door. “Seriously? You’re not going to grunt or bang on your chest too, are you?”
He didn’t answer, so I decided I’d wait until he put me down. This was so humiliating.
Once we reached the underground car park, he placed me down to my feet. I brushed my hair out of my face, narrowing my eyes at him. Which was brave considering he was a whole foot taller than I was and wider than the average heavyweight bodybuilder.
“What the hell was that about?” I asked him.
He matched my stare and I noticed his jaw ticking.
“That, was me saving you from the biggest mistake you almost made.”
I laughed at him. “Why would you actually care? I don’t even know you!” I yelled.
He walked to his bike, passing me his helmet.
“Get on the bike Kalie, I’ll take you home.”
I shook my head vigorously. “Nope. There’s no way I’m getting on that,” I replied. I’d always been terrified of bikes. I witnessed a bad car accident one time that involved a bike, and ever since that time, I’ve not managed to be near them. Not that I’d actually had the opportunity arise. He looked to me, so obviously annoyed.
“It’s this,” he waves to his bike with a bored expression, “or you’re staying with me. What will it be?” he asked.
I felt as though that had a double meaning.
“I’ll stay with you.”
I watched as his face softened a little. He took hold of my hand and led me back to the elevator.
Well, you’ve found trouble now, Kalie.
Walking into his room, I was feeling a lot soberer than I wanted to. I guessed that was a good thing, now I could appreciate him more through calm eyes. I looked down at my hand and saw he was still holding onto it.
“You want anything to drink? And by drink, I mean water,” he asked while walking into the kitchen, leaving me standing there awkwardly in the living room.
“Yes, please.”
He walked back into the living room, handing me a glass of water, and then looked down at me.
“You get into an awful lot of trouble for a virgin,” he said casually, putting his hands into his pockets.
“Hmm…I came here a little reckless, I guess,” I responded, taking a few small sips of my water.
He walked over to the sofa, patting the spot next to him. When I didn’t move, he rolled his eyes and I swear to God that it was the sexiest eye roll I’d ever witnessed.
“Sit down, Kalie.”
Walking to the sofa, I sit beside him.
“Why did you come and take me away from Blake and Vicky? You know, I sort of wanted to be there,” I said a little too honestly.
He chuckled and narrowed his eyes at me. “Don’t ask me that.”
I widened my eyes at his clipped tone.
“Why were you feeling reckless?” he asked, spreading his legs out in front of him and running his index finger across his upper lip.
Goddammit, the man was delicious.
“I just got dumped. It seems my virtue is sort of getting in the way. I wanted to get it over with if you will. Not with Blake, though, with someone…hot. He has to be…” I trailed off because actually, I wasn’t making any sense. I was sort of sounding like a predator, or worse—sounding like Vicky. “Let’s change the subject. Why did you come and play hero with me?” I responded, licking my lips nervously. He made me nervous.
