“Okay, I have to go.” I climb in my car and try to remove him from the doorway so I can slam the car door in his face. I lock the doors so he can’t try and stop me while I start the car up. I pull out of the parking spot, shocked that my tires aren’t spinning as I get the fuck outta there.
What in the actual fuck did I just do?
CHAPTER 10
GRAHAM
She shoved me out the way, slammed the door in my face, and took off like her ass was on fire. I watch her car rush off into the distance, staring after her like I could force her to turn her perky little ass back around. My fingertips reach up and wipe gently at my lips, I can still feel the ghost of hers lingering. That was one of the most electric kisses I have ever had in my life. If I could have pinned her to the car and just explored her with my lips, I would have.
She tasted exactly like I imagined, slightly sweet, a hint of caramel still lingering from her coffee this morning. I file that taste into a folder in my mind to absolutely never forget, worrying I will never get to taste her again. I pull my phone out of my pocket, pulling her contact up and changing her name, currently listed as Nyx, to Little Witch and sending the contact over to Demitri. I know I shouldn’t message her now, but I can’t help myself.
Me: Fly away Little Witch, but you will always be mine.
The message is delivered, but not read. I remind myself that she is probably driving and is trying to be safe. Luckily I didn’t ride with Dee to the station this morning. So, I head over to mytruck to go home. I find my electric blue F-150 in the lot. She was one of the first purchases I made when Dee and I got our first big security contract. Starting the truck up, I plug my phone in and try to reach out to my best friend to see what is going on in that head of his.
The phone rings and rings. I’m fairly certain he is ignoring me, but just as soon I go to hang up, he picks up. “What do you want, Hutch? I’m not in the mood for your cheeriness right now.”
“So you don’t want to hear about the most electrifying kiss I have ever experienced?” I want to push his buttons a little to try and get him out of his own head. Demitri is his own worst enemy when it comes to the demons slipping, especially when he has feelings for someone. He might not be acknowledging his crush on Nyx, but I saw the look on his face after he carried her out of the station.
“WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU KISSING? I THOUGHT WE WERE PURSUING NYX?” A maniacal laugh escapes me. He thinks I was just out kissing some randos.
“Think about what I was just doing, Dee. Take a breath, bro.”
“You were walking Nyx back to her car. Making sure she got there safely.”
“Very good. I kissed Nyx, buddy, and it was the most amazing and electrifying kiss I have ever had.” I leave the part out about her taking off like I lit her ass on fire, because he will think I did something to her to make her take off. I hear a groan from the other side of the phone. “Do you want me to tell you all about it? How soft and amazing her lips felt-.”
“Shut the fuck up, Graham!” Ouch, he never calls me Graham. He is pissed.
“Oof hitting me with the “Graham”. Did I hit a nerve, Demitri?”
“Why do you like to wind me up?” He growls.
“I know that sometimes you need to be wound up to finally admit to things. I could see that look on your face when you hauled her perfect ass out of the police station this morning. Also, you would never snap like you did on her ex for just anyone. I know sharing was mentioned, but I need to know if you actually want to share her or if it’s just going to be a one night thing. I will not put my Little Witch through that if you are not willing to try.”
“Sometimes I hate that you have known me my whole fucking life.” That is the only thing that comes out of his grumpy mouth for a few minutes. The silence just lingering in the air, knowing I could scare him off if I don’t tread lightly. I let him sit with his thoughts and how he is going to respond. “Can you meet me at the house?” His voice is softer than it has been throughout this whole interaction.
“Ya. I just left the station. I’ll be home in a few. See you soon, Dee.”
“Thank you, Hutch. See you soon.”
Climbing into my truck, I take a moment to just appreciate that I think I finally found her. The girl I’ve waited my whole life to find. She may not want to admit it, but I can see her walls crumbling brick by brick. Putting the truck in drive, I head to go deal with my surly best friend. He needs to chill out.
CHAPTER 11
NYX
Ifeel their hands everywhere. One set is gently rolling both of my nipples between their thumbs and forefingers. The other set, slowly exploring every inch of my thighs. Looking down Hutch, sucks one of my nipples into his mouth, flicking the tip with his tongue. Demitri’s scruff follows behind his hands as he kisses up the inside of my thighs.
I writhe beneath their hands. Demitri holds my thighs open before taking a long lick up my slit to my throbbing clit. His tongue lashing the small bundle of nerves until I feel my orgasm building. I am about to fall over the edge when Hutch takes my nipple between his teeth and I fall…
I bolt up out of bed, my heart pounding out of my chest. I can still feel the lingering spasms of the orgasm from my dream. It’s been years since I had a dream that intense, unless it is a nightmare. I couldn’t tell you if I’ve ever had a dream about a guy, let alone the two haunting my real life lately. I need to get these men out of my head. I don’t have it in me to open my legs, let alone my heart to one guy, and there are two of them that I could never choose from.
Hutch is light personified, and Demitri is the darkness that lurks in the corners of every room. I feel like they are one, each half of the perfect whole that is my Demon and Blue. No, goddamn it. I need to stop thinking like this. They made mention that they have shared before. I refuse to just be a fling. Although maybe that would sate this need raging inside of me. Four years is a long time without the affection that comes with being intimate with someone. Something that my trusty rechargeable and a good book boyfriend can never give me.
Climbing out of bed, I head for my kitchen. I stop by Midnight's cat tower to give him morning scratches. Midnight is my constant companion. I grab my favorite stainless steel water bottle out of the dish rack next to the sink and start filling the bottle with water. The apartment is all clean lines, bright sun coming through the windows. This place is just a place to rest my head, it has never felt like a home. I have never hung up any photos on the walls or added any decor that doesn’t have a purpose. The only thing in here that shows any sort of personality is the bookshelves that line every available wall in the living room.
One thing I never give up is my books. I read just about anything, but my favorite genre is dark romance. Most of the book girlies would kill to have two hot Marines chasing after them. The shit Demitri did yesterday is straight out of one of my books. All I needed was for him to chase Nick off, grab my face and crash his lips to mine. Fuck, and now I am thinking about kissing Demitri.
