I grab her chin and tip her face up to mine as I bring my mouth crashing down to hers, kissing her possessively, demanding entry, which she grants without a fight. A little whimper escapes her and it shoots straight to my cock. Sweeping my tongue across hers, I then snatch her bottom lip gently between my teeth for a brief moment, before I whisper “Mine.” against her lips.
Sliding my hands up her body over the soft material of her dress, I cup her ample breasts in my hands and squeeze them, though carefully. “Mine.” I growl against her lips.
My hands glide to her back and I slide them down to grip her ass cheeks, kneading her sexy fucking body. I thrust my hips forward and pull her by her ass against me, my erection jabbing into her. “Mine.” I mutter against her lips.
Slipping one hand around her hip to the front of her body, I dip my hand between us to cup her sex firmly over her dress. An erotic little gasp escapes her and I nearly punch a hole in my fucking jeans at the sound of it.
“Mine.” I groan against her mouth, before I claim it once morewith another deep, demanding kiss. My arms encircle her waist as she reaches up to wrap hers around my neck, pressing her hot body against mine, kissing me back.
I’d fuck her right here against the goddamned refrigerator of their makeshift breakroom, but with only a curtain for privacy, and her boss and customer’s barely ten feet away, I control myself. I’ve made my point and shedidn’t knee me in the balls. The way she’s kissing me back, tells me that not only is sheagreeable, shefucking wants me right here, right now, too.
Her boss calls from the front of the shop, asking if everything is okay back here.
As if Vanna forgot where we were for a few moments, shepulls back from me instantly with a gasp, and I release her.
We stare at each other, catching our breath, grinning like teenagers almost caught making out under the bleachers.
“Just fine!” She comes to her senses and calls back to her boss, then stifles a giggle with a hand over her mouth.
Fucking adorable.
Fucking sexy.
Fucking, fuck!
I want to take her home with me and claim her body thoroughly, but her shift isn’t even half over. I step up to her again, pressing her back up against the refrigerator, my knee parting her thighs as I lower my mouth to skim her neck with my teeth. She shudders slightly, a quivering breath fluttering past her lips.
Fuck it.
“Come home with me.” I whisper against her throat.
“I can’t… I have appointments.”
“Take me upstairs to your table,” I whisper against her ear, making her squirm as I tease her, “and freaky me again.”
“It’s Reiki, you jerk.” She nearly laughs. “We can’t go at it here, Dean. I’m sorry… Thank you for the flowers, though. They’re gorgeous.”
“Yeah… about those.” I lean back to look her in the eyes now. “They aren’t from me.”
She seems genuinely surprised. “Oh?”
“They didn’t come with a card?”
“They did… The card didn’t make any sense. I thought it was just a screw up.”
“Show me the card, Vanna.” I move back from her so she can retrieve it. She grabs her purse from a cubby in the small closet and hands it to me. “Who the fuck is D?”
“I have no idea. I thought for sure they were from you, until the note made no sense.”
“Fucking Legion.” I mutter.
Something flickers behind her eyes. Surprise, or a realization of some sort. I stare at her and wait for her to elaborate. Is she going to defend him again? But she says nothing, keeping her thoughts, and secrets, to herself.
“I don’t think you found that black rose by chance, doll. And the fact that they’re surrounding a single white Peony… This sinister Boquete is just as much for me, as it is you.”
“What do you mean?” she nearly whispers. I can detect the slight concern in her voice. Good. Maybe she’ll start taking my warnings about him seriously.
“I think that white Peony represents you. The black roses… that’s him. All around you. It’s a threat, not a nice gesture. Another mind fuck meant for me, through you. With love, from Legion.” I growl. “I’d like to know what he meant by his less than enthusiastic response to your news? That he knows you’ll be a good mother?”
