Although I could see from her expression the girl was still annoyed, the last remark brought a hint of smile to her face. I didn't know if it was a sign that she liked me, or that she liked that I was the butt of AJ's taunting.
My dark-haired beauty seemed to relax and soften. She leaned her hands on the counter and with a more cordial tone said, "That's okay. I can take care of myself. I've been working the night shift here for a long time."
My eyes trailed around the dirty inside of the store, swept with the dust of the desert wind. "This is no place for a lady," I said.
She shrugged. "Doesn't matter to me. I just work here part-time while I go to college." She gave us both a look up and down as if to better assess us.
"You two don't look like you're from around here. I suspect you're traveling. Is there something I can get for you?"
I smiled at her across the counter. "As a matter of fact, there is something. We're on a trip and we had a blowout back there on the interstate. We need a new tire … or even a used tire would do. But it looks like the repair garage is closed for the night."
"Yeah, sorry," she said. "It's closed. Is there anything else I can do?"
An idea was brewing in my mind, and she seemed to be warming to me, so I poured on the charm. Maybe I could sweet-talk her into opening up the repair garage.
"Well, sweetheart, maybe there's something you can do for us." I said it using my best player's voice, the one I used to get women to drop to their knees and throw open my pants. "Do you have keys to the repair garage back there?"
She gave me a look with a cock-teasing glint, and raised a brow.
Hello. What was this? She'd thrown me a challenge.
Her eyes were magnificently dark, with long lashes, and looks of alluring adventures. At least that's what I saw.
Damn, she was hot.
I let her watch me as I raked my eyes over her, and then I touched the tip of my tongue to my lips, before I spoke. "It'd really help us out if you could unlock the garage and sell us one of those tires." And it'd also be really helpful if she'd unbutton that shirt one more button. I stared at two nice round breasts peeking out of her uniform shirt. She must've done something to the shirt, made it tighter, because she looked so damn good in it.
"I know the size of tire we need, doll. All you have to do is open the door and I'll just snag one, put it on the car, so we can get on our way. And we won't bother you anymore."
I smiled my best dimpled grin, accompanied by a wink, then placed one hand on the counter and leaned forward, ever so slightly, my bicep muscle flexing as I moved. I wanted to get into her space enough to show dominance and let her feel the tension of my energy, but not enough to scare her off. This girl was a hot-tamale. I wanted to lick her up and down. I bet she was the type who liked to go all night, ride on top, so she could grind at her own pace.
With her dark eyes locked on mine, the girl parted her lips to speak. Her tongue darted out to moisten her lips, which drove me crazy, but I knew I had her convinced. She hesitated, her ebony eyes measuring me, and I swore she let out a hot breath, before she spoke. "All right," she said and snatched a gnarly set of keys from a small hook below the cash register.
She spun, stepped out from behind the counter and headed to the door. "I'm not supposed to open the repair garage after hours," she said over her shoulder as she walked. "Why do I have the feeling this's gonna come back and kick me in the ass, later?"
I shot a confident look at AJ and followed behind her with my best pimp walk making a gesture with my hand to him like, "Yeah, I'm that damn good."
I stopped goofing around when the girl pushed open the glass door and turned to warn us. "If I lose my job over this...you two jerks are toast."
I gave her a friendly salute and we followed her to the silver roll up doors of the repair garage.
She turned the key to unlock the small side door leading to the office, and said, "Make it quick, will ya? I'm not supposed to leave the cash register unattended." She stood at the door while we cut through the office to the garage to search for a tire.
We located one quickly and rolled it out to AJ's car and left the girl to lock up. When she walked past the car to return to her post, she paused, looked me dead in the eye and licked her lips. My pulse spiked and my cock twitched. I nearly groaned. She was playing me hard, but why the change in attitude? Whatever it was, I didn't care. All I wanted was those lips around my cock and I'd probably have to think about her later in the shower.
