Touching Scars(68)

Mel looked back and forth between the two of us, then slapped me on the arm. “You two did the nasty, didn’t you?”

Her face was beaming with delight. My mouth dropped and I couldn’t believe she outed me like that in front of Beaver. “Only parts of it got nasty,” Timber chimed in. What the fuck? Was I in the twilight zone? I put my head on my forearm and groaned.

“Really, you guys. I wasn’t aware my sex life was up for discussion,” I mumbled into my arm.

“Sure it is. Especially when you didn’t even have a sex life before this god came walking in.” She wiggled her eyebrows at Timber. I rolled my eyes at her blatant attempt at flirting with my guy. I decided it was a good time to change the subject.

“How did you guys fare without me here?”

Now it was Mel’s turn to roll her eyes. “Kat, its Port O’Connor.” She said it like that explained everything. “This place only gets so busy. We handled everything just fine.”

“Good. Where’s Ed?”

“He decided to take a week long fishing trip out of Corpus Christi. He won’t be back until the middle of next week.”

“Oh.” I felt slightly disappointed, only because I hadn’t seen him much lately and I wanted to spend some time with him.

“So I see you two are getting along good.” Timber gave that glorious half smirk. Why on earth was he bringing the conversation back around to this subject?

“You could say that.” Beaver’s sly grin at Mel wasn’t missed by me. “I think Mel here is benefiting quite nicely.”

She scoffed. “Pssh! I’m benefiting? I’m pretty sure my ears are still ringing from the shout you gave last night.”

He turned in her direction, and I felt like I was choking on the sexual tension that was building between the two of them. It was sweet and disgusting all at the same time. “Really… who was the one screaming my name when she got to ride the Tongue Twister?”

Timber’s eyebrows rose up as high as they could go. “The Tongue Twister? Care to enlighten the class?”

“Shut up, Nelson. Nobody wants to hear it.” I glared at him. Mel giggled.

Beaver reached behind him and grabbed a pad of paper and a pen. He slid them across the bar to Timber, then leaned back and smiled.

“What’s this for?” Timber asked.

“For notes, dude. Believe me, Kat will be singing your name in soprano as she comes if you listen to my instructions carefully.”

I started coughing violently, and Mel was hitting me on the back. Timber looked over his shoulder at me and winked. I coughed a bit harder.

“No worries, buddy. We’re good.”

Beaver looked skeptical, which was laughable. “You sure? I mean, if you have the right technique…”

“We’re good, Beav,” I shouted while plugging my ears so I didn’t hear anymore.

“Suit yourselves.” He turned to Mel. “You ready to go, Princess? I have some laundry to do, and I’m hungry for my dinner.”

“You already ate, you big lug.” She put her hands on her hips.

“I had a burger, but I’m thinking a Mel feast is on the menu.”

I gagged. This was too much info from my two friends. I’d rather stay blissfully unaware of their sexcapades. “And on that note, I’m heading upstairs to unpack. Y’all be good!” I shouted as I high-tailed it up the steps to my apartment.

I could hear Timber’s heavy footsteps behind me. Before I could open my door, he pushed me up against the wall.

His eyes were hard. “I need to check it out first. You know this.”

I wanted to tell him that he was being overprotective, but this was something I knew he wouldn’t concede. I handed him the keys and held my hand out for him to go ahead. As he went in front of me, I shook my head at my overbearing man. If this was something that made him feel better, I’d happily oblige him this one little thing. I loved him, and I loved that he wanted to keep me safe. I bit my lip at the little butterflies in my stomach. I was well and truly happy for once in my life. I stood there waiting for him to give me the all clear. When he did, it was game on and clothes off!





MY EYES OPENED TO A dimly lit room. Glancing at the clock over Kat’s shoulder, I saw it was five in the morning. The sun was just starting to come up and it was peeking in around the edges of the curtains. My pretty girl was curled into me with her back against my chest. Her hair was blowing slightly from the ceiling fan and little strands were tickling my chin. Tipping my head forward, I pressed my nose to the top of her head and breathed her in. Her sweet scent of coconut and some other fruit caused my lower half to stir. I was already sporting my usual morning wood, but now I wanted to be buried in something soft and warm. My hips involuntarily flexed forward and I heard her suck in a long deep breath through her nose. She was waking up. Turning her head slightly to the side, she blinked lazily back at me. Her hazel eyes were like a punch to the gut. I don’t think I’d ever seen a woman more stunning than she was. My eyes trailed the slope of her nose, the pinkness of her cheeks, and then to the full lips that were begging to be nibbled. I slid my hand from her hipbone to her stomach, splaying my fingers wide. Two of them found their way under the waistband of her underwear. I nudged her over onto her back and moved myself so my body was wedged between her sexy smooth legs. Accommodating me, she lifted her hips up and made contact with my already throbbing cock. It caused me to hiss.
