Amusement shined in his eyes before he spoke.
“Is that right?” he bit into his bottom lip.
“That is correct.” I clarified.
I slowly sat down and made sure to maintain a safe distance between us. I released a breath that I didn’t realize I was holding and placed my focus on Dr. Ryan. He had already sat his tablet down and started pulling out vials and swabs. The doctor moved efficiently and was unfazed by what me and Bleu were saying.
“I decide everything, Thickumz.” Bleu scooted close to me.
Thickumz?
His cologne invaded me, then his hand landed on the top of my thigh. My body trembled, and he saw it. Bleu winked his eye at me; I couldn’t stop my thighs from clenching. My breath even stuttered; we were too close. The heat between us rose, there was no denying the intense sexual chemistry that dominated the space between us.
“We have a lot to discuss, but since I see you’re a little surprised by my approach and everything that’s going on so far… I’ve decided to slow it down for you.” He gave my thigh a light squeeze.
I ignored his cockiness as Dr. Ryan walked up to me.
“May I?” He said, gesturing for my arm.
I hesitated. Every instinct screamed that this was crazy. It was also something about Bleu’s calm confidence that made me stay still. I looked into his eyes, they didn’t waver. He nodded his head in Dr. Ryan’s direction and willed me to give the doctor my arm.
Bleu released my thigh, sat up and took my arm from Dr. Ryan. I tensed, seconds later I relaxed and watched him roll up thesleeve of my gown. He caressed the underside of my arm in an assertive comforting manner. The needle pricked sharp and fast.
Once the vial was filled with my blood, Dr. Ryan took a quick swab test. Bleu released my arm then rolled up his own sleeve. He extended his arm to Dr. Ryan without taking his eyes off of me. His expression didn’t change as his blood filled the second vial.
In silence we watched the doctor label both vials. He sealed them in a case before speaking.
“Results within an hour. I’ll send confirmation to your email, Mr. Langston.”
“Good.”
Bleu’s tone was final, like a king dismissing his peasant. Dr. Ryan packed up quickly then let himself out. Now my nerves became frazzled, it was just me and Bleu…alone.
He stood and walked over to his bar, on his way over he asked if I wanted something to drink. A little too quick for my liking, I declined. I was still on edge from the thought of me possibly being drugged by Aubry’s ass.
Bleu turned and leaned against the bar with a glass cup in hand. He looked so picture perfect, I wished I had my phone in hand to snap a picture of him. The skyline burned behind him like a crown of lights. His gaze held mine steady and unreadable before he spoke.
“Tell me about you.”
He motioned with his short glass of what I assumed to be dark cognac.
“You want to know about me after a blood draw?” I chuckled lightly.
His lips twitched, and a hint of a smile shifted his lips. It disappeared as fast as it came.
“I don’t sleep with strangers. I like to know who I’m dealing with, even if its not long term.” He shrugged then took a deliberate sip of his drink.
In the moment I felt obsessed with just the simple things he did. Bleu made everything look sexy down to the way he walked and talked. He licked the remnants of the liquor from his lips. As his cheeks moved, I saw two deep dish dimples.
Can he get any finer?
“How about you tell me about you first.” I raised my brows.
I crossed my legs and leaned back into the couch. Bleu was trying to make time pass by fast as he waited for Dr. Ryan’s results.
“Truly, I’m in awe of you… So much so that I know you’re nervous. I make you that way, so I’ve created space for you to engage in an adult conversation with me.”
He turned enough to place his cup at the edge of the bar. He took one step away before continuing.
