“Don’t act like I’m interupptin’ somethin’. I know this is all some show to piss me off.”

I started to open my mouth, to protect her, at least until she could get her shirt back on and come up with some excuse why that’s all she had on. I knew that we weren’t in a relationship and obviously, he did too.

Then Lacey shocked me by walking out of the kitchen topless.
“Just a show?”

I was beyond belief.

Shayne looked genuinely taken back. He just stared at her for a few seconds, as if to punish her with his mind.

I crossed my arms, holding my ground because we were in my apartment. No matter what the situation was, he was still the one who hadn’t been invited. Shayne looked at me for a second and then back to Lacey. “I…came to talk to you.”

“We were in the middle of something, obviously.” Lacey was being harsh, making it a point to him that he was intruding. I’d never seen this side of her and I liked it.

“Please. It’s important.”
He was pleading with her and I knew it was another way of him saying they needed to talk alone.

I clenched my jaw and couldn’t believe I’d let myself get into this kind of situation. While motioning to the couch, I looked over at Shayne.
“Have a seat, man. I’ll give you two some privacy.”

I went into the kitchen, knowing damn well I’d be able to hear everything they were saying. As they spoke, I found myself feeling something that I’d never experienced before.

I was jealous and that could only happen if I liked this chick a lot more than I should have.

 

 

Chapter 10

If these two people weren’t in my house, I probably wouldn’t have cared too much about what they were saying. Since Lacey had left me with another stiff erection, I felt like I was more vested in the outcome of the conversation.

I could tell from Lacey’s voice that she wasn’t too happy about being interrupted from what was about
to happen between us. “What do you want, Shayne?”

I almost laughed out loud
.

“I saw this goin’ differently.”

She snapped at him again. “Sorry that I ruined it for you.”

“Lace, please. Just hear me out.”
The dude was begging and she wasn’t hearing it.

“If you’re going to tell me not to see Joey, I’m afraid that’s not going to happen.”
Damn. If I were him, I would have walked out right then.

“This is about me. I mean, I don’t like you bein’ with him, but I get that my opinion doesn’t matter to you.”
He paused, like he was trying to find words, but I couldn’t actually see what was happening. “The baby ain’t mine, Lace. I never slept with Ashley and I never will. The reason I took responsibility was for Parker’s sake. He’s got a real chance at goin’ somewhere. I can’t let this keep him from that. I know in time, he’ll be ready to step up, but for now, it’s the least I can do to make amends with myself for what I did to Ford, Sky and even you.”

Her tone was beginning to change.
“I never asked you to punish yourself.”

“No, but I’m sure you wished worse for me.”

I started messing around with a couple dishes, shoving them into cabinets so it didn’t seem obvious that I was eavesdropping.

“I may have said things, but I didn’t mean them. You hurt me so much, Shayne. I thought we had something special, but to you I was just a piece of ass.”

 

The room got quiet for a few seconds and I half expected that Shayne had gotten up and walked out.

“You’re wrong, babe. I may not have admitted it, but you were so much more than that. I was stupid for takin’ you for granted. If I had a second chance, I’d do so much differently. I’d start by makin’ sure everyone knows that you belonged to me and I belonged to you, but it’s too late now. You’ve moved on and it’s clear to me that I lost my chance.”

I approached the doorway, but didn’t peek my head out. Lacey was obviously crying. I could hear her sniffling.
“All I ever wanted was for you to love me, Shayne.”

“I do.”

I shook my head knowing damn well Shayne didn’t love the chick. He dicked around with her heart and was pissed that he’d been caught.

“I want to believe that, Shayne. I swear I do. It’s just that I don’t think I’m ready to be able to trust you.”

“Yeah, I get it.”

Her next words made my stomach curl. It made it clear that the woman wasn’t ready to give herself to me, not when she was still holding that lit candle for him.
“But I don’t want to let you go, either.”

“What are you sayin’, Lace?”
Shayne needed to be slapped. She was clearly giving him hope and he was playing dumb.

What a douche!

“Can I meet you at your house later so we can talk?”

“No. My dad kicked me out last night. Apparently, havin’ a kid is against the rules, even if it ain’t really mine.”

I covered my mouth to avoid them hearing me laughing. He’d gone and fucked up even more with his family. How stupid could he get?

“Where will you go?”
When she asked that I wondered if Shayne was lying to her to get her to sympathize. It was a good plan, and she was taking the bait.

“I reckon I need to look for a place. I was plannin’ on buyin’ a paper and callin’ some places today. It ain’t like I’m goin’ to show up for work. My dad needs a couple days to cool off before I get anywhere near him.”

“I bet. Do you want some company when you’re looking?” Maybe I should have walked out and made a big deal out of it, revealing his act.

“Won’t he be mad?”
Shayne wanted to know my feelings? This dude was fucking ridiculous.

But he was right.

I was pissed. I wanted Lacey in my bed and I was so close to having it.

“I think it’s best if we don’t talk about relationships today. I’ll go with you as a friend.”

“I’ll take whatever I can get.” Of course he would.

I waited until the door closed before walking out and confronting Lacey. I probably had no business doing it, but she was in my house, making plans with her ex after getting freaky with me moments ago in my kitchen.
“You’re leavin’ aren’t ya?”

“It’s not like that, Joey. Please don’t make this any harder than it already is.”

I had to leave the room. I couldn’t look at her tear-filled eyes for another second. My balls were going to be aching for pussy that I was never going to have. I was pissed at myself for even letting myself get this involved with the chick. This wasn’t me and I needed to walk away before I lost my manhood. “You don’t need to explain, Lace. I’m a big boy. I get it. Shayne wants another chance and you’re goin’ to give it to him.”

She followed me.
“It’s not like that, but I’m not going to lie to you. I still love him.”

The more I tried to avoid her, the more I felt myself being drawn back in. She was making me crazy.

Then I looked down into those eyes and fought the urge to take her, right there in my room. “I told you, no explainin’ necessary.”

“You were right earlier, when you said the attraction was mutual. I feel it too. I just couldn’t bring myself to admit it, out loud.”

I walked over and started getting dressed, knowing that if I avoided contact with her, I’d be able to let her walk away without it getting all weird. “What do you want me to say, Lace? You want me to beg you to stay? You want me to tell you all the reasons that you should end up in my bed tonight instead of his, because I’m not goin’ to do that.”

It took her two seconds to take off her shirt
again. She threw it in my face, making sure she had my attention. As much as I wanted to pretend she wasn’t already getting to me, I could feel my dick responding. “How about you give me a reason to come back?”

I pulled off my shirt and walked toward her.
She was irresistible to me and I hated her for it.

Our lips met and I teased her tongue with mine while I spoke
. “Tell me, Lace. Say the words.”

I knew she wanted it, because she’d already begun panting like she’d been doing in the kitchen. Lacey was no longer crying, but instead gazing into my eyes with certainty. She
never flinched as she admitted exactly what she wanted from me. “I want you to fuck me.” She shook her head a bit. “No. I need you to.”

My mouth found a nipple as I contemplated what I wanted to do with the situation. On one hand, I wanted to fuck the shit out of this woman. She was giving herself to me and I knew it would be awesome. On the other hand, she was all fucked up in her head. I knew how women reacted to stress and throwing herself at me wasn’t going to solve anything. Besides, I needed her complete attention if I was going to be the best she’d ever had. I didn’t want her pr
etending I was that blonde dickhead. Still, I couldn’t let her know she was getting under my skin, like no woman ever had before.

“You say one thing, but you mean somethin’ entirely different.”
I lifted her hand and placed tiny kisses over the back of her fingers. “I’ll be gentle with you; making sure I kiss every inch of your skin. After that I’m goin’ to make you cum and when you scream out my name, it will be because you don’t want me to stop touchin’ you.”

I had her right where I wanted her and her next words proved it to me.
“Take off my shorts and get started then.”

I yanked slowly on her shorts, watching her react the entire time.
“Don’t get shy on me. I’ve waited too long to see you naked.”

She touched her breasts and squeezed each nipple in her hands.
“Was it worth the wait?”

I couldn’t stop looking at her naked body. She rocked in all the right places and I didn’t know where I wanted to start.
“Roll over and give me the full show.”

She actually stuck her ass up, right in my face, taunting me with her perfect rear.
“Is this what you like?”

I leaned against her back
. “I like it all.” I played with her hair, picturing fucking her doggy-style. “Oh yeah, I’m going to fuck you so good.”

I slid down off the bed, taking one of her feet into my hands. While she watched, I kissed my way up her thigh, all the way to her naked pussy. She leaned up on her elbows watching my every move.
“You want me to touch you, don’t you Lace?”

She bobbed her head up and down, like a child being asked if they wanted a piece of candy.

I placed my hand on the side of her hip and tapped it. “Flip over, you’re not ready for me yet.”

I needed time to sort shit out in my head. I’d never had such and intense feeling to please a woman as I did Lacey. She was a woman that I had something to prove to. I kissed the skin over her ass, taking my time dragging my tongue in between her thighs. Her body was shaking and my fingers proved how aroused she was for me.

“Exactly how I want your pussy; wet and ready.” I ran my thumb in between her folds, gathering her juices to lubricate her swollen clit. I rubbed hard as my fingers penetrated her pussy. Her ass immediately began to respond, shaking around and tightening up as she let go for the first time. I could smell her essence and I knew what I wanted next. I had to kiss her there, to taste that shiny wetness making those lips glisten

“Turn over and hold up your legs. This time I’m going to watch you cum.”

I sat up and watched as her body turned and her legs spread open for me. Her pussy was blushing from my playing with it and I knew I’d have her cumming again in no time. Lacey held her ankles and kept her legs out, waiting for me to dive in. I liked that she assumed I was going to dive in. I adjusted myself and smacked on her little pussy, watching her react. I blew on it and heard her making sounds above me. I pinched her clit and blew again, while I inserted my fingers again. She yelled out something that made no sense as her legs jerked around and I felt her pussy tightening against my lips as I sucked on her clit one last time

“You’re so sexy when you cum, Lace.”

This was a pivotal moment where I should have slapped on a jimmy and fucked the woman, until she was out of my system. Instead, I thought about her pretending I was Shayne and it pissed me off. I didn’t get why I cared, but I wasn’t going to proceed with the slightest chance of her regretting it.

I stood up and started putting my shirt back on.
“Wait! Where are you going?” She sat up and looked shocked. I wanted to smile, or perhaps jump back on the bed and finish the job.

Instead, I kept my composure.
“You’ve got somewhere to be and I need to reheat your breakfast.”

“Joey, wait. We aren’t done here.”

I climbed on the bed and kissed her. For the first time, in as long as I could remember, I was walking away from what I wanted. She was offering herself to me and I was refusing, out of jealousy. I hated what happened to me when it involved Lacey, but just feeling her tongue brushing against mine, kept me wanting more from her. She wasn’t like Candace or any of the other women that I had arrangements with. The fragile woman was different and I needed to have my head straight before I started having real feelings for her. “You’re right, we’re not, but I’m not about to give you everything so you can walk away and never look back. This way, I know you’ll return.”
