Mr. Mysterious: A Mister Standalone (The Mister Series Book 4) (19 page)

“I’m not a whore,” I say in my best sultry dame-in-distress voice, then open my eyes again. “I forgot to tell you, I’m a virgin.”

This time he does laugh. Loudly. “Are you?”

“Yes,” I say. “So I might not want to do anything too fun today, Detective. I’m saving myself for Prince Charming.”

The light turns green but Paxton watches me as my fingertips caress the wet folds between my legs until the car behind us honks.

He starts forward and then turns left, towards the marina. “Are you going to tease me, Miss Cookie?”

“Oh,” I say, moaning a little. “I love teasing men. It’s how I got into this situation in the first place.”

“You pretended to be a whore? But when they found out you were a virgin, they—”

“Threatened my life,” I pretend-sob. “You’ll help me, won’t you?”

“Tell me what kind of help you need, Miss Cookie.”

“I just can’t stop”—I pretend-sob again—“teasing. Help me stop.
Please
.”

He chuckles in a sexy you-have-no-idea-how-much-I-love-this-game kind of way. “I’ll do my best, ma’am.”

“Jesus fuck, are we there yet, Pax? I really do need you to lick my pussy.”

But all I get in response is a sly smile.

Oh, shit. I have a feeling he’s going to take my little fantasy farther than I expected.

Chapter Twenty - Paxton

I hold her hand as we walk through the marina towards the slip where I keep my boat. The place is busy. Crowded and bustling until we get away from the club house and onto the dock.

“This is nice. I love the water. One thing that I never got much of growing up.”

“Yeah,” I say. “It’s perfect right now.” I look down at her and smile. “Better than letting you tease me while I sit in traffic ready to murder someone.”

She laughs a little as I put my hand on the small of her back, directing her to go right. “You know,” she says, “just when I think I’ve got you figured out, you pull something like this on me.”

“Like what?”

“A boat. Islands. Houses. All of it.”

“Well, you can’t have an island without a boat.”

“It’s on the wrong coast, though. You said your islands were in the Exuma Cays.”

“Oh.” I laugh. “I have a boat on that coast too. Besides, if you have two islands you really need two boats.”

“Is that your rationale?”

“My story,” I say. “And I’m sticking to it. But that brings us back to your story, Miss Cookie. After you.”

I stop beside my boat and hold her hand as she steps up, then follow her on board. Her eyes are wide and excited. But pretty soon they’ll be heavy with lust. “I can help you with your little problem, but since you can’t pay, I’ll need something else from you.”

She bites away the smile as I start to untie the boat. “Wait, we’re
going
somewhere?”

“You want this whole marina to hear you scream, ‘Fuck me, Detective. Fuck me harder?’ OK by me, Sugar.”

“Pax…”

“Of course we’re going somewhere. What’d you think? I was bringing you here for a quickie? I don’t do quickies. Not with girls I like.”

A blush flushes her whole face pink for a moment. I bet her breasts are blushing too. “Detective,” she says in a low voice. “This is all highly unorthodox.”

“I solve the cases, Miss Cookie. Whether or not you like my methods is none of my concern. Now, for your own safety, I’m gonna need you to go down below, take off your clothes, and wait for me on the couch.”

“For my own safety?” she asks.

“It’s either that or take your chances with me ripping them off you.”

Her mouth opens in an O of surprise, her hand covering it in a moment of shock. “Detective, that’s inappropriate.”

I finish untying the mooring of the boat and step in, making sure my hands rest on both of her hips as I gently move her aside. “And I’ll tell you now, if you want my help, you have to follow my directions at all time.”

“All times?” She tilts her head at me, eyebrow raised.

“All times. I’ll give you till the count of five to get down below, or I’ll rip your clothes off right here in front of the whole marina.”

She puts a hand over one breast, simultaneously covering herself and indicating shock in one perfect gesture.

“One…”

She turns towards the stairs that lead to the salon, but I catch her muttering, “She was conflicted and yet her body was becoming warm with the anticipation of what was to come.”

Can this girl get any cuter?

I smile big as I start the boat and back out of the slip, then make my way out of the marina towards the ocean at a painstakingly slow speed. All I think about is how she’s waiting for me down below. Her naked body stretched out on the leather couch. Long blonde locks trailing over her breasts, trying to hide them. But there’s not enough hair on her head to hide those voluptuous tits of hers. I love fucking her with her bra on. I love pulling it down under her huge mounds so the underwire practically raises them up to her chin.

God, I want to do filthy,
filthy
things with her mouth and her tits. Make her suck on them. Her little pink tongue darting out as it traces the line of her nipples.

When we finally get to open water, I set a heading and put it on autopilot. This boat is not as big as the yacht I have in West Palm Beach, but it’s got everything I need for an afternoon of fantasy roleplaying with Miss Sugar Cookie down there.

I unbutton my shirt as I step down the stairs to the salon and the minute I see her—that golden body naked and waiting—blood fills up my cock until it’s so hard, I have to resist the urge to grab it.

“I like to comply, Detective,” Cindy purrs. “It’s one of my favorite things.”

Jesus. She looks like a fucking pin-up girl lying there. She’s on her side, legs scissoring together like she’s trying to stimulate herself. The little blonde landing strip of hair between her legs peeks out at me like an invitation. Her arms are strategically placed, squeezing her tits together to make them look even more perfect.

I finally get the buttons done on my shirt, take it off and throw it across the table as I pass, and then go to work on my pants.

“What will you make me do?” she asks, fake hint of fear in her voice.

“Anything I want,” I say, pulling my cock out and fisting it, my hand moving up and down my thick shaft in slow strokes. “And what I want right now, Miss Cookie, is to make you suffer for teasing me back in the car. You’re lucky I don’t walk out of this case. Leave you to fend for yourself.”

I hate to bite back the smile. Because my little sugar here can fend for herself just fine. But I like her damsel-in-distress playacting. It fucking turns me on.

“Suffer?” she asks in an overly dramatic protest. “But I didn’t do anything you didn’t
want
.”

“It’s too late now. You’re here, we’re heading west to nowhere in particular, and you’ve got my undivided attention.”

“Please,” she begs. “Please, don’t walk out—”

“I won’t, you little tease. But I’m going to teach you a lesson right now. A lesson you’ll never want to forget.” I reach her, pull her up to a sitting position, and then sit down on the couch.

“What should I do to make it better?” She places her hand over mine, which is still stroking my cock. “Tell me what you want.”

“I want…” Goddamn. I want to fuck her is what I want. But this is way too much fun to rush things. “Get up,” I say.

She stands up, bites her lip seductively, and stands there as I lie down on the couch where she just was.

“Now sit on top of me.”

She straddles my thighs, positioning her pussy right over my cock, but I place a hand on her arm and say, “No, no, no. You wish my cock was going inside you, Miss Cookie.”

“But Detective, I thought you—”

“You can stop thinking now. It’s unnecessary. Scoot up and lean back.”

Cindy scrunches her brows together, confused.

“You want to be a tease? Let’s see who’s the better tease.”

“What are you doing?” she asks in her real voice.

“Let’s play a game…” I say the words before I realize how she might take them. But she stops my worry with a smile. “Let’s see who can hold out the longest.”

“Oh, honey,” she purrs. “I’m gonna win this game. What’s my prize at the end?”

“You think so, huh? I’ll tell you what. If you win, I’ll sign that Malibu house over to you.”

“What?” She’s genuinely shocked. “Paxton, that’s insane. Why?” She stutters for words. “What are you doing?”

“Why is it insane? I just want to make sure you’re not sleeping in a trailer if you ever get tired of me.”

“I don’t need your house. And it’s worth fourteen million dollars, that’s why!”

“That was purchase price, Sugar. It’s worth twenty-one million at the moment. And I know you don’t need it now. You already live there with me. But it’s a nice place, right? People get addicted to nice things and then sometimes they stay in situations just to keep those things. I want to make sure that never happens to us.”

“I’m not taking your house, don’t be ridiculous.”

“Afraid you’re gonna lose, Miss Cookie?”

“I’m not going to lose.” She snorts. “In fact, I bet I win this little game in less than ten minutes.”

“Well, if I win,” I say, my voice a deep mixture of desire and arrogance, “then I want to meet your dad.”

“What?” If I didn’t know we were playing a game, I’d be convinced that shocked look is real. “Why?” She almost whispers it.

“You met my mother. I want to meet yours. And I have a feeling that Vic Vaughn doesn’t let anyone meet his wife unless he gives them permission. Besides, that’s what you do when you’re serious, right? Meet the parents. Get permission. That’s how my mother raised me, Cinderella. I can’t help that I’m a traditional kind of guy.”

“Pax—”

“Too chickenshit to play, Miss Sugar Cookie?”

“No,” she protests. “No, that’s not it. I’m just not sure—” She stops short.

But I know what she’s going to say.
I’m just not sure we’re that serious yet
. We are that serious. And even if she doesn’t think so right now, she will realize it soon. “I want a meeting with your dad. And look, I know I’m a little rough around the edges, but I clean up well. I have manners, Cindy. I won’t embarrass you.”

She bites her lip. And damn, if she isn’t the best little actress. I almost think she’s really worried about this.

“Game on?” I ask, once again wincing at my choice of terminology.

She lets out a long sigh. “I won’t lose. So in ten minutes I’m going to own your house.”

“That’s the spirit, Sugar. Winning is ninety-nine percent attitude. Are you ready?”

“Game on.”

“Well, OK then. I want you to press your pussy up against my shaft and rub against it.”

She tilts her head with a sly grin.

“All the way against it. I want you to slide up and down my shaft, so my tip tickles your clit, and move your hips until it touches your ass.”

She exhales. “Shit.”

“No, Sugar. Squirt. I’ll make you come squirting and I won’t even have to touch you.”
