Rage nodded and slapped Wrath on the back to help him stop choking. I couldn’t hold it back anymore either. I should have been pissed he missed the bus but this was fucking funny shit and we’d be able to give him grief for weeks.
“She had him tied up and wouldn’t let him leave or something, I guess, so she had to drive him here today.”
“No way. I don’t believe it. I’ve known Michelle for over four years and she’s never done anything like that.”
“Maybe you don’t know her as well as you think,” I said and waggled my brows at her. “C’mon it’s funny. At least we only went from New York to Philly or I’d be pissed off too. He’s never done anything like this before.”
Looking like she was in shock, with two red spots on her cheeks, her hair still standing on end, didn’t make her look any less sexy. At least my cock didn’t think so and it gave a whole new meaning to morning wood. Thank God I was at the table so no one could see. Even laughing about Flame and seeing her horror didn’t turn it off. “I don’t know what to say.”
“You don’t have to say anything, you didn’t do it,” Wrath said as he finally stopped laughing.
“He’s right, Cynda. You didn’t do anything. Flame’s a big boy, he can take careof himself. Maybe you should drink some more of your coffee. You look like you need it.”
Nodding, she sat on the couch with the mug clenched in her hands.
I sat down next to her, close enough so our legs rubbed against each other, and the hard-on I’d been trying to hide got even fucking bigger. Fuck. This girl was dangerous. I wanted to pick her up, carry her into my room, and spend the next few hours learning every bit of her body. What I could do to her. Damn. I needed to get a fuckin’ grip. Now wasn’t the time for this. I leaned in close to her ear. “Are you okay?”
She looked at me from behind her glasses and blinked. She must have been far away, and I bet I knew she was thinking about—Michelle and Flame, and maybe if I was lucky our kiss last night. “Yeah thanks, and thanks for the coffee, it’s perfect.”
I whispered under my breath, “So are you.” Luckily she didn’t hear me. “We have a full schedule today. You’re welcome to come with us or you can go off on your own, or maybe if Michelle’s hanging for a while stay with her?”
“Thanks, can I get back to you after I wake up a little bit more?”
“Of course. Did you sleep okay?”
“Yeah. I’m surprised too. I didn’t think this would be very comfortable.”
“I’m glad to hear it. When I wanted you to come with us, I wasn’t trying to be an ass, and I’m sorry you got caught in the middle of the power struggle.”
“I understand. I really didn’t want to come, but maybe it’ll be okay.”
“It will,” I said giving her my sexiest smile. I had some making up to do and not a lot of time to do it. I picked the wrong fucking time to be a dick that’s for sure.
Wrath looked over at me and raised an eyebrow. “What are you two whispering about over there? Trying to figure out Flame’s sex life?”
I wanted to punch him. I might have if the bus door didn’t open letting Flame and Michelle in. “Fucking nice of you to show up, Flame.”
He looked embarrassed but not Michelle. She had a shit eating grin on herface and I wondered if I even wanted to know what they’d been up to last night.
“Yeah I’m sorry, I forgot the fuckin’ time and…Hey I’m here now so it’s cool right?”
“Oh yeah, it’s cool. Uh huh sure it is. I hope you got some sleep at least, we’ve got our first interview in about an hour.”
“Right.” He turned to Michelle and whispered something and she shook her head no.
“Are you going to stay for the show tonight, Michelle?”
“No, I can’t, I have to get back to take care of Cyn’s cat.” She gave Cynda a look that must’ve meant something to her, but I didn’t have a fuckin’ clue.
“Well thanks for bringing Flame back to us. We’d have been lost tonight without him.”
She gave me a grin and pulled Flame’s head down for a goodbye kiss. “No problem, I was glad to have some extra time with him. Cyn, I’ll call you later or give me a call when you can. Okay?”
Cynda nodded and watched as Michelle left the bus. She looked confused andsomething else. I had a feeling Michelle was in for a fuckin’ earful when they talked. Damn, I’d love to fuckin’ hear that call.
Michelle called her Cyn and I liked it. She really did look like an angel on the outside but the way she filled me with lust, she had to be fuckin’ hot as sin on the inside.
