I grumbled a bit but went and sat down."I'm sorry, what was that?" he said with an eyebrow raised and a cautionary tone."Nothing," I replied quietly before grabbing my pizza up once again."Oh, I see. So instead of crying, my beautiful lady is snapping at me.""I'm not beautiful," I did snap this time.The room got dead silent. Even the crickets outside refused to chirp for fear of what was to come."Excuse me, what was that again?" he said in a deceptively soft tone."I said, I'm not beautiful so please stop saying that. You don't have to give me false flattery," I repeated honestly."False flattery?" he parroted in the same tone that was making me nervous."Yes, false flattery. I know what I look like, I have a mirror. I'm not ugly but I'm not gorgeous either. I am what would be considered average. I have average brown hair, average brown eyes, and an average build. I am the normal boring… average. So as much as some women appreciate your flattery, I appreciate honesty."His hand c
Annoying music woke me from a very deep sleep, and I reached my hand over to shut off the alarm on my phone before I realize it wasn't there.I shot straight up in bed and became even more disoriented when nothing looked like my bedroom. The sharp stinging pain in my cheek brought last night's events back to me. Bethany being held by those guys, wanting her uncle's money back, the knife on my face. I hissed a painfilled breath and gently touched my cheek. I knew the cut was just a thin line, but it really felt as if he took a huge chunk out of my cheek. I scrambled to shut off the still jingling phone; spitting out curses when my feet kept stumbling across the floor to where my purse sat. Ugh, was it really already time to get up? I opened my phone to call Bethany and tell her there was no way I was going to be coming in today, only to find a message from her saying she was closing shop for a few days. I just knew that over the next few months, I would be looking over my shoulder an
Tentatively, I reached out with my own tongue dying to taste more of him. When ours met, he began rubbing and teasing it gently making my body ache to feel that tongue on other parts of it. My nipple stood at attention, and I felt moisture pooling between my legs. Trev rubbed his hard erection against me with a sensual groan. I pressed back desperate to get some relief from the tingling that had settled itself right on my clit and was demanding attention.The rising passion caused bells to go off in my head. That was until he pulled back with a dark curse spitting out of his mouth before reaching into his pocket to pull out his phone."What?!" Trev growled his voice still husky and breathless.I pressed my hand to my sore lips that still felt as if they were buzzing from the burning kiss. I had to concentrate hard to get my heart rate and my breathing under control. Once my mind cleared, I found myself hurrying on wobbly legs out of the room without a backward glance. I skid into the
'Much later' actually didn't happen that night. Trev left early that morning after informing me that I was not to leave the house, period. I would have argued with him, but he gave me one last kiss that wiped all thought of argument out of my brain. He didn't come back until well after I was asleep. The only reason why I had known he had come home that night was that I had fallen asleep on the couch and woke up in bed.I buried my head in his pillow, breathing in his scent. I tried and failed to ignore the tightening in my chest that had accompanied his absence all day yesterday and was still plaguing me. There was a gentle knock on the door, and my heart expanded then jumped as Trev's voice came through it."Vie? Sweetheart, you awake?""Yeah," I said breathlessly.Trev popped in with a cup of coffee made up just how I liked it and a bag thrown over his back."I knew you were an early riser. I brought you some coffee and here." Trev dropped the bag next to the bed. "I stopped by your
After the hundredth time, Trev's eyes were glued to my chest with that heated look in his eyes, I knew that my hopes for discretion went out the window. Unfortunately, this final time we were on our way over to the barbeque I let him talk me into going."For God's sake, Trev," I spat out angrily as I crossed my arms over my chest."I'm sorry, sweetheart," he apologized even though he didn't sound very sorry."Yeah, right. How am I supposed to 'relax and have a good time' if I'm worried every person there will be staring at my chest?" I groaned."It's not really that visible," he tried to reassure me."Then why do you keep staring?"He gave me a mischievous smile and a wink but never actually answered the question.The barbecue was a blast once I began to relax. It was loud, crazy, and chaotic. Far different from my normal, quiet, orderly world. There were so many people that just popped up and introduced themselves to us that I began to lose track of names. The men pulled Trev into a
What was happening to me? I normally had such great control. Yet right now I felt achy, needy. I wanted to throw myself at his feet and beg him to tease me, take me, and dominate me."I guess I better get going," he repeated and started heading towards the store.The panic I had felt earlier came back to me. If Trev left, would the dream come back? I found myself reaching for him. "No, please! Can you just… stay here with me? Maybe, sleep on the floor.""Honey, if I stay here with you. I am not sleeping on the floor," Trev warned with a heated look.Looking down, I saw that my nightgown had shoved up around my hips and the bedspread was tossed off to the side. I must have been struggling hard during my sleep. I should have been mortified, but I found his eyes on me heated my simmering blood almost to the boiling point. Swallowing hard, I made a split-second decision and threw caution to the wind. Whether or not I would regret it tomorrow was another story, but I'd deal with it tomorrow
Trev gave me a wide predatory smile. "Get undress. If that cute little thing is not gone in two seconds, I'm going to rip it."I stepped away from him until I felt the edge of the bed hit the back of my knees. I grasped the edge of my nightgown then whipped it up and over my head as if it were a Band-Aid on a wound.Trev drew in a breath while I dropped the gown and peeked up eager to see his reaction. His eyes were devouring me, and I felt my heart pound in my chest as he continued to look at me."Now, your panties. As sexy as they are, I'm more interested in what is underneath them," Trev demanded.I grabbed the sides and pushed them down as best I could, but found it mostly awkward with the limited spot I was in. Silently I cursed myself for not thinking this through and losing the small ounce of the sexiness I had. When I finally got the damn things off, I kicked them to the side viciously then stood up straight and crossed my arms behind my back in the standard sub inspection pose
He grasped my hands and pulled them away from my face. I had been so far gone in my self-pity that I hadn't even noticed he had gotten up and was now bending over me."Baby, don't be upset. I know it's hard for you to say these things, but I loved hearing those words come out of your sexy little mouth," Trev soothed me."I just feel like such a little slut," I responded horrifyingly.He chuckled and gave me a gentle kiss. "In the bedroom, it's okay to be a little slutty. I love the fact that you're a little dirty. As long as it's only for me."The sound of possession in his voice squeezed my heart. I gave him another shy smile feeling a lot better about my outburst."So, let's see… where were we?" he said, looking down my body. "Oh yes, that's right… you were just begging me to touch your pussy."I nodded. Trev smiled and reached down to brush just his fingertips across the top of it. Moaning, I raised my hips to urge him to go further, but he stopped instead."I'm not ready yet," he s
