Only to get jumped and have his throat slit.

And leave his mom, Hound, Dutch, Wilder and Archie withouthim forever.

“I knew you were the shit since, like, the instant Ilooked at you,” Archie declared.“But Bastien’s?This is next level,boyfriend.”

After saying that, she pressed into his side where she satnext to him in a booth at Bastien’s, her face in his neck, and she didn’t kisshim or touch his skin with her tongue.

She purred.

His dick stirred.

“Stop it,” he ordered.“I got less than a day to wait.”

She pulled her face out of his neck.

“You meanwehave less than a day to wait.”

“I got you off this morning and I’ll get you off tonight.”

“It’s not the same,” she muttered, turning to her cocktailthat had some kind of spicy, tabasco salt on the rim.

“Are you complaining?”he asked.

She took a sip of her cocktail then returned her attentionto him.

“You got long, strong fingers, baby, but a girl needs somedick.”

Jagger roared with laughter.

When he was done, she wasn’t laughing.

She wasn’t smiling.

She was pressed, her front to his arm, and reaching a handto his face.

She ran a finger along his jaw to the corner of his mouthand along his lower lip.

Her eyes watched these movements.

When her hand fell to rest on his chest and her gaze liftedto catch his, he felt it bore deep.

All amusement fled.

“Archie,” he whispered.

She retreated from her visual invasion, pushed in, touchedher mouth to his, and after she pulled away an inch, she said, “Thanks forsupporting the ’hood with your steak place choice.”

“It’s about that.It’s about the retro here, which isfucking cool.It’s about arguably the best steaks in Denver.It’s about makingyou happy, since I knew you’d dig this.But, justsayin’,even if your crib is blocks away, we’re still spending the night at my place.”

“Your turn,” she noted.

“Yeah,” he replied.

She gave him an eye twinkle and her focus shifted to thetable because their Devils Riding Bareback were being served.

And Jagger released his breath.

Because she didn’t push, she didn’t demand, she didn’t makehim talk about what he knew she saw in his eyes, but he wasn’t ready toexplore.Definitely not share.
