The Enforcer (12 page)

The guys brought an extra treat with them when they came over: beer and pizza. The two main food groups. Lacey thought that maybe she needed to start playing hockey if they could eat beer and pizza so often and still look that good. She knew they burned a ton of calories, but come on! No fair … if she ate that many carbs on a regular basis, she’d be as big as a house. Men sucked …

With those thoughts going around her head, she took the pizza boxes (four of them for four people … really?) and sniffed them all the way up the stairs and out to the deck. “Must eat first.” The rest of them agreed. Carrying the beer, Jody followed closely behind, enjoying the view and Lacey’s scent. Why did her scent get to him so much? Today she smelled like coconuts but with some kind of citrusy twist. Whatever it was, he liked it.

Zoe grabbed plates and napkins from the kitchen and joined the others out on the deck. Lacey was just pulling out her first piece with onions and peppers when she sighed in delight. “Besides chips and dip, I don’t think there is anything on the planet better than pizza.” Jody leaned over and handed her his ice cold beer. “Take a swig of this with it. Heaven …” As he leaned in, he again caught the sweet tang of coconut and citrus.

Lacey could feel her face flush at the thought that Jody’s lips had been on that bottle. God she was pathetic. Now she was jealous of a beer bottle. Making a show of licking her bottom lip, she met Jody’s eyes and took a long pull on the bottle. Jody immediately felt his groin tighten. He was amazed that with one simple movement, Lace could make him feel like a virginal teen again. He wanted her so badly that he was tempted to grab her right off her chair and drag her to her bedroom. Who cared if there was no bed in there yet? There were walls, a floor, hell … there was a door he could press her up against.

Seeing the way Lacey and Jody were undressing each other with their eyes was making Zoe crazy. She looked everywhere but in Vlad’s direction, because she knew if she looked at him, she’d be doing the same thing. She needed something to do. Noticing that all but about half of one pizza was gone, she started gathering up the boxes. She walked into the kitchen with Vlad following her, his arms full of plates and bottles.

“Getting pretty intense out there, isn’t it?” Vlad said standing directly behind Zoe. And way too close. “Chief’s nervous as hell that he’s going to scare Lacey off. They’ve known each other for less than a week, but he swears she’s
the one.
” Zoe just nodded and kept herself busy by searching in cabinet drawers for tinfoil to wrap the pizza in. Where the hell was the foil? She could not remember for the life of her. Vlad’s presence was addling her brain.

Vlad grabbed Zoe’s arm. “Hey, is something wrong? I thought we were all for Lacey and Chief getting together.” Zoe looked down at Vlad’s hand on her arm. She liked feeling the warmth from his hand. Vlad noticed the heat in her eyes. “There is no
we
, Vlad.” But as she said that, she looked at his lips and licked her own. “Aw hell Zoe, you know we can’t.”

“Yes, I do know. I just wish we didn’t have this … thing between us, you know?” Maybe she should just kiss him. Maybe this attraction was just a freak thing that they could get out of their system. How many times could it take? Once … okay, more than once. Twice? It had been a while … okay, not that long. “You know what? We probably only
think
there’s a thing between us. It’s probably just because we know we can’t. When you’re told you can’t have something, you want it even more. The forbidden fruit syndrome.”

Vlad thought about that and knew it wasn’t true. They’d be incredible together. “Fuck that.” He grabbed her and kissed her hard.

Zoe tried to push him away, but her hands didn’t obey her mind. She
did
place her hands on his chest, but instead of pushing him away, she pulled him in closer. After a minute or so, they both pulled back. Breathing hard, Vlad sarcastically said, “Yup, you were right, I felt nothing. How ‘bout you?”

Zoe rolled her eyes at him. “Ditto. Seriously, though, Vlad – I can’t do this. I could lose my job. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, Zoe. I understand. Let’s not let it get weird. I don’t want to lose your friendship, okay? I promise I won’t do that again.” They finished cleaning up the dinner mess and went back out onto the deck. “Come on Chief, stop ogling your girl, and get off your lazy ass. Let’s get this furniture moved in.”

After they got all the furniture in, Zoe and Vlad went out to the deck to drink some iced tea and cool off. Lacey and Jody were finishing up, tightening the last of the screws on the bed. When Lacey bent over to grab some packing material to put in the trash, Jody groaned. “Jesus Lace, you can’t bend over like that in those little shorts and expect me to keep my hands to myself.” He walked over to her, put both of his hands on her hips and pulled her back against him.

Lacey let out a little squeak, but backed right into him. She could feel him getting hard for her already. His cock was rubbing up against her ass. She wanted to turn around and rip his damn clothes off. Never in her life had she been so hot for a man so quickly. Just thinking about getting him naked made her slick and ready for more full body contact.

Still standing behind her, Jody pulled her hair aside to gain access to her neck. As he was kissing her neck, he ran his lips down to her collarbone and gently bit her. “Oh God, I love that.” He laughed and said, “Good to know. Any other special spots?” Lacey could only whimper in response. Continuing to lavish more attention to the special spot he had found, he let his hands travel up to cup her breasts. Jody thought he could die a happy man right then and there. Her breasts felt fucking fantastic. If only he could see them … taste them.
Christ!
He couldn’t get enough of her. If they kept this up, he was going to embarrass himself like an untried teenager.

With one hand still on her breast, he let his other hand drift down and traced circles on her belly. Drifting further down, he unsnapped her shorts and lowered the zipper. He also took a second to undo the hook on Lacey’s bra; he had to get his hands on her bare breasts. Lacey raised her arms to run her fingers through his hair. That movement raised her breasts even more, and Jody had the perfect view directly down her shirt. His jeans were uncomfortably tight now, and he quickly unbuttoned them to give him a little more room. Lacey mourned the loss of his hand at her breast.

“Please … touch me Jody.” He brought his hand back to rub his work-hardened palm over her nipples. The feeling was so intense, she cried out. He slipped his other hand into her panties and growled – yes
growled –
at finding her so wet for him in such a short time. As he slid his finger into her, his thumb caressed her to the point of insanity. Lacey was unconsciously thrusting her hips against his hand. When Jody pinched her right nipple and then the left, she almost climaxed.

Jody needed her lips on his. He turned her around and pushed her down onto the bed. Still clothed, he lay down beside her and returned to stroking her between her legs. Lacey grabbed two fistfuls of his hair and pulled him down to her. He bit her bottom lip a little to make her open her mouth so he could get the angle he wanted. He thrust his tongue in deep, licking Lacey’s mouth. She tasted incredible.

“Jody … God Jody, I’m so close.” He pulled her shirt up and sucked on her nipples. One, two, three hard tugs and Lacey flew apart. It was one of the most intense orgasms she’d ever had. He knew exactly how to touch her. To quiet her screams, Jody put his lips over Lacey’s. As she quieted, he softened his kisses, and Lacey sighed into his mouth.

Lacey was just about to reach down to stroke Jody, returning the favor when they heard footsteps on the stairs. Holy shit! The door was open. Lacey flew up and slammed the door shut almost directly in Zoe’s face. “Uh, sorry Z …” Lacey’s face turned scarlet, but she started laughing, “We’ll, uh, we’ll be down in a sec, okay?”

“Sure, no problem.” She could hear the smile in Zoe’s voice. “Vlad needs to get going, so if Jody wants a ride …” That was followed by the sound of footsteps going back down the stairs.
Oh, Jody wants a ’ride,’
he thought.

Jody was already standing up, gingerly refastening his jeans. “I guess it’s time to go.” Lacey didn’t want him to go yet. She
wanted
to give him the same pleasure he gave her. “I can give you a ride later. I’d like to finish what we started. And thank you by the way. You have great hands Mr. LaGrange.” Lacey couldn’t seem to stop smiling. She walked over to the door and yelled down the stairs, “I’ll take Jody home later.”

Lacey flashed him a predatory grin, kicked the door shut and walked back over to him. Pushing him back until his legs hit the bed, Lacey stopped. She ran her hands up his chest and looped them around his neck. “Well? Aren’t you going to kiss me?” He didn’t need to be asked twice. Still on edge from playing with Lacey’s body, he was a bit rougher than he thought he should have been, but Lacey loved it. She gave back as well as she took. Crushing her mouth to his, she parted his lips and sucked on his tongue. With a low moan, Jody grabbed Lacey’s hair in his fist to hold her there.

Lacey’s hands slid down Jody’s chest to rest on his rock hard abs. She ran her hands up and under his shirt to his back and around to the front again, not missing an inch. Running her hand up and down his length that was getting bigger by the second, Lacey gave a moan of her own. No more. She needed her hands on him now. Ever so slowly, Lacey unbuttoned Jody’s jeans and slid the zipper down. Looking down, Lacey didn’t remember boxer briefs ever looking so sexy, nor had she ever seen them bulging quite so much.

She slid them down along with his jeans and gave him a push that sent him back onto the bed. “Very, very nice. You are definitely
well
endowed, aren’t you?” She gently wrapped her hand around him, and Jody sucked in his breath. He would not be able to take much of that. It’d been too long, and he wanted her too much. “Please tell me you have a condom, Lace. I beg you.”

Lacey stopped moving her hand and looked up at him. Frowning she said, “I don’t. You don’t?” Punching the bed with both fists at his side he said, “Fuck, fuck, fuck. No, I don’t have one. I purposely don’t have one because I wanted to take my time getting to know you, but when I’m around you, I forget that part. God Lace, I want to be inside you more than you can imagine.” He sat up and removed her hand. Showing phenomenal restraint he said, “We’ll just have to wait.”

Oh hell no. She was not going to leave him in that state. It was hard to be so brazen with him so early, but she did it anyway. Even though she knew her face was flushing with apprehension, Lacey slowly took her shirt off, along with her bra, and cupped her breasts. “Don’t you think we could do other things that don’t require a condom?” Seeing her rubbing her own nipples while she gave him a sexy smile, just about brought Jody to his knees. “You have to touch me, Lace. I can’t take much more.”

Lacey pushed him back down, leaning over him with her breasts swaying in his face. She reached down and took a hold of him again, feeling the moisture that had gathered at the tip of his cock. Stroking him up and down was heavenly. He was all hard male and he made the best sounds. Deep, guttural. He was turning her on all over again. Sliding down his chest, she used her other hand to cup him and he almost lost it. Everything she did felt so fantastic, he wanted to hold on as long as he could. But she wasn’t playing fair.

“Come for me, Jody.” Still stroking him, she put her lips to his quivering abs. Her licks and gentle bites pushed him over the edge. With a low groan, Jody came all over Lacey’s breasts and even up to her chin. He came
that
hard. It was intensely erotic. She wanted him inside her so badly that her muscles were clenching. She vowed right then that she would never be without condoms again.

After their breathing slowed, Jody pulled his jeans back on and went into the bathroom to grab a washcloth for Lacey. When she went to grab it, Jody held it out of her reach. “Please Lace, let me.” Lacey was a little embarrassed to be sitting there letting Jody wash off her breasts … and face, but Jody was smiling at her. “You’re too good to me, you know that? I constantly man handle you, and you reward me. Every time we’re together, all I think about is how I want to be gentle with you and take it slow. But then I blow it.”

“What are you talking about? Do you hear me complaining? Jody, this is the most fun I’ve had in entirely too long.” Lacey felt behind her in an attempt to locate her bra and shirt. Now that the sexual frenzy was ebbing, she felt self-conscious about being half naked in front of him.

Jody frowned. “You don’t have to put that on right away, do you? God Lace, you have the best rack. Shit … see? In my head, I say how beautiful your curves are, but it comes out of my mouth as ‘nice rack’.” Jody shook his head at himself.

Lacey laughed, but still put her shirt back on. Jody was such a doll. His sincerity was obvious, even if his words were a bit coarse. She didn’t want suave anyway. She much preferred bald honesty to flowery words. Steven spoke with flowery words, and look where that got her. With a cocky smile she said, “I’m glad you like my rack, Jody. And don’t worry about it. I don’t need fancy words. Just honesty.”

“Okay, well here’s some honesty for you. I hate condoms … hate them. And I’m cautiously optimistic that in the future, when
you’re
ready, that I may actually get to be inside you. I almost always have an allergic reaction to condoms, and honestly Lace, it’s not a great feeling.” Lacey just raised her eyebrows at that. Funny as it was, though, she hated them, too. “We get the most comprehensive physicals you can imagine. There is nothing that’s not tested for. I’ll be more than happy to show you my test results to prove that I’m one hundred percent clean. And I haven’t been with anyone since my last physical.” Jody couldn’t tell what Lacey was thinking.
