Summer’s cheeks turn bright red, the same colour the tips of her ears are now going as he walks away.“Are you fucking nuts?”
I keep playing with the ends of her hair, enjoying the feel of the silky strands through my fingers, even as she tries to slap my hand away.
I roll my eyes.“Please tell me you didn’t want a two-second fuck?I can call him back if you do.I was just trying to be neighbourly.”
Malia snorts but keeps silent as she watches the exchange.Summer leans into me, her scent rousing memories.“If I wanted your fucking help, I’d ask for it.You didn’t need to embarrass me.”
Why is her scent so familiar?Floral, with enough hint of vanilla it has my cock stirring in my jeans.
She stands abruptly, pulling me from my thoughts but also grabbing the attention of those sitting close.“No!No, I won’t seduce another man into our relationship.You’ll make it all about him and forget I’m even there,” she yells, and to add to her dramatic act, she sniffles.
For the first time in my life, I feel heat rise in my cheeks.Before I can even process it all or make a remark, she’s grabbing her bag.“I’ll see you at home, Malia.I’ll call a taxi from outside.”
Vanilla.
Fuck!
The connection is there, on the edge of my mind, and when all the dots connect I suck in a breath.
Memories of a chick I met years ago come to the front of my mind.I’m out of my seat in an instant, chasing the woman who has a talent for tying me up in knots.
I reach outside and find her moving to the side of the pub.I follow, and just as she puts her phone away, I propel her against the wall.
Her sharp intake of breath has goosebumps rising on the back of my neck.
“You!”I rasp, not meaning for it to come out so heatedly.
Her button nose twitches.“Move away.”
“I remember,” I declare, watching those expressive eyes widen.“I remember you.”
Or as much as my foggy brain will allow me to.It’s like a door ajar that can’t fully open.I’m pretty certain my drink was tampered with that night, or more accuratelyherdrink.The thought has my jaw clenching and I have to fight the urge to hold her.
I had gone to the pub with the new guy we were training at work the night I met Summer.It had been a long, stressful, tiring fucking day at work.All I wanted was a cold one, and maybe to find someone willing to get on their knees and suck my dick.
The minute I stepped inside, my gaze was immediately drawn to the bar, where Summer was sitting.She was gorgeous, her long, tanned legs crossed at the knee, showing half the pub her muscular thigh.I had every intention of fucking her—I even hoped she’d leave those fuck-me shoes on her feet—but then I sat down next to her, and for the first time in my life I was riveted by a girl for more than her body.The only other women in my life I’ve spoken to for that length of time was my mum and sister.I’ve never given another woman that much of me or my time.They were meaningless, shallow, and quite frankly, easy.Summer, however, had this pull about her that just drew me in.When I dragged her into the ladies bathroom, it wasn’t because she was meaningless, shallow, or easy.It wasn’t because I was against public sex.It was because I just couldn’t wait, and I respected her enough not to take her there on the bar in front of everyone.That’s how badly I wanted her.I couldn’t even tear my lips away from hers long enough to pull her top off.It’s why when I fucked her with my fingers, I had to step away before I embarrassed myself by coming too soon.
It scared me so much.
That night felt like ‘more’ to me.
I pulled myself away out of fear, because I didn’t do virgins and it wasveryclear with how tight she had been that she was one.
I freaked.I didn’t even wait for her to gather herself after her orgasm before I left her to clean up and went back to the bar.Since my drink was already gone, I downed her untouched one while debating whether or not to ignore my rule about not fucking virgins.Then it hit me.For her, I’d break the rules.I stepped in the direction of the bathrooms, and that’s when everything started to blur.
I hadn’t even had that many drinks, but at the time, that didn’t register to me.All I could think about was how tightly she squeezed around my fingers when she came—until everything around me went out of focus.When I managed to regain my balance, a chick who had tried to get me to leave with her a few weeks before was right in front of me.Her tits were pressed against me, and I have no idea why, but when she asked to take me home, I let her drag me out.I don’t understand why I said yes to her offer.In the back of my mind, I knew there was a reason I turned her down before.Thinking back on it, now that more pieces are coming back, I don’t know whether I forgot about Summer before this chick approached or after.Everything happened so quickly.The only reason I know about the chick is because when we got into the taxi, I passed out.The girl had to call my brother to come and get me, and Jaxon said he knew as soon as he saw me that something was wrong.I’ve never gotten like that while drinking.
The next day, I tried to piece the entire night together, but with all the missing time, I couldn’t.It had been like the time my brother mixed two puzzles together with missing pieces.I couldn’t figure it out.
Until now.
Her eyes narrow into slits, but there’s no hiding the flash of vulnerability before she can mask it.“Then you remember leaving me to clean myself up whilst you decided to leave with the next girl you laid eyes on?”
Fuck!
How do I explain this to a chick without sounding like a dick?
So I speak frankly.“I don’t know how to explain that night without sounding like a major dick.”
