Beth came to a hard stop. “Whoa! I think I misunderstood what kind of party this is, I can’t stay here.”
Razer grabbed her around the waist, stopping her panicked flight. “Calm down, nothing is going to happen that you’re not ready for or you don’t want to.”
“You said a party, not an orgy and I can tell you now I am not ready for this party.” Beth tried to lower her scandalized voice; aware of the curious eyes staring at her in amusement.
“Beth, you said you partied in college?” Razer questioned.
“Yes, normal frat parties. This is like a frat party on steroids.”
“Come on. It’s not that bad.”
“It’s bad, real bad.” Beth said in a low voice, as she watched a pretty blond writhing in desire on Knox’s lap as he sucked on her bared breast.
“Beth we are quite a bit older than college kids. I assumed when you said you had partied that extended beyond the college age range. Give it a chance.” Seeing the couple Beth’s eyes were glued on. “Ignore that. Let’s get a drink.”
Beth felt like throwing up she was so nervous. She no longer heard her father’s words in her mind; they were screaming dire warnings of hell and brimstone.
Razer grabbed a couple of beers, handing her one before pulling her down on his lap on an overstuffed leather chair. Train was seated on the couch beside it with a woman on each side of him. One seemed to be licking his ear while another was bobbing up and down on his cock.
At this point, Beth knew she was well out of her depth. In fact, she was trying to devise a way of telling Razer to get her the hell out of there when Evie appeared.
“Hey Beth.”
“Hello Evie.” Beth looked at her, not wanting her eyes to return to Train as she heard his groans of completion. Beth eyed the outfit Evie was wearing, trying not to appear flustered at the tight pair of shorts that barely covered the curve of her butt and a top that was unbuttoned showing her firm breasts.
Beth felt overdressed and wasn’t about to rectify the situation. She took a swallow of the beer, trying to calm herself down. Razer’s hand started to rub her back, easing the fear threatening to have her running out of the room.
“I can see from your face that Razer didn’t warn you the parties can get a little wild.”
“No, he didn’t.”
Evie laughed and sat down on the arm of the chair they were sitting on. “I had been partying since I was fifteen; I was twenty-one the first time I came to one of their parties. It still shocked me.”
Razer and Train started talking, both ignoring the women at their side. “You’ll get used to it. The next time you come it won’t be such a surprise.” Evie sympathized with the obviously overwhelmed newcomer.
“I doubt that.” Beth sincerely was thinking that once she got out of here she would never be back.
Evie laughed as if reading her mind. Trying to ease her mind she changed the topic. “I like your top. All my pretty ones have disappeared. These bitches just borrow without asking, so we just wash the clothes and everyone grabs something clean. The shorts are different, not many can get their fat asses into mine.”
“I bet not.” Evie was small, probably a one or two. Beth was one of the fat asses who they wouldn’t fit.
“Not everyone likes skin and bones,” Razer said, rubbing Beth’s ass. “I happen to like mine with a little jiggle.”
“Never notice you complain when you’re humpin’ it,” Evie joked back. She caught the shocked look on Beth's face and instantly regretted her ill-conceived joke.
“Damn girl. I didn’t mean anything.” Beth gave her a false smile at her apology.
“The first couple of times I saw Razer, he had a different woman hanging on him. I just didn’t realize you two had a history.”
“No history,” Evie said. “How about we change the subject. Razer was telling me what you do, I bet that’s interesting.”
Beth looked in her eyes and saw a sincere desire to be friends. She liked the girl and as all the friends she had made had gotten married or left the small town for greener pastures, she wanted to become friends as well.
“What do you do?"
"I was a nurse in Ohio, but I applied here at the local hospitals and the two doctor’s offices, but they haven’t called.”
“You’re a nurse?” Evie stiffened at Beth's surprised tone.
“You don’t think I look like a nurse?”
Beth burst out laughing, stopping when seeing the hurt look Evie tried to hide. Razer’s arm tightened around her waist, letting her know he was unhappy. Even Train was throwing her a dirty look.
“Well to be honest, right now, a nurse wouldn’t be my first clue as to your profession.” Beth waved her hand at Evie’s open top. “But you misunderstood me; if any of my male clients saw you, they would have a cardiac arrest.“ This time, everyone burst out laughing. “Seriously, I have a nursing degree also, worked and got my masters in business with a minor in accounting. Before everyone can say I am flaunting my degrees, I am just telling you this because I have been getting a little overwhelmed with all the work I have been contracted to do. I was thinking of hiring someone part-time if you think you might be interested?”
“God yes, I have been bored out of my mind stuck here all day with the other girls.” Hastily adding before Beth could reply, “I don’t want full-time, whatever hours you could give me would be great.”
Beth frowned. “Perhaps I should have mentioned you would need a car. Do you have one?”
“Yes and it’s in good shape.”
“Have you got your phone handy?”
Evie pulled a small cell phone out of her back pocket. Beth took it and programmed her number into it.
“Give me a call on Monday; I will work something out this weekend on what hours I can offer.”
A loud booming voice yelled Evie’s name from the upstairs. “Gotta go before Knox comes looking for me.” Beth turned to see Knox and the blond woman waiting for Evie at the top of the stairs. When Evie reached them, Knox placed an arm around their shoulders before moving out of Beth’s sight.
“That was nice of you.”
“I had a rough week. I need the help; I should have done it a month ago. This will give me more time to spend with Lily before she leaves for college and someone to cover for me in emergencies when I go visit.”
“Works out nice for you both.”
Beth only nodded because while they had been talking he had turned her sideways on his lap, facing away from Train. His hand had been running up and down her thigh, his thumb casually brushing her denim-covered mound before sliding away. Teasing her into wanting it to linger longer. One hand buried itself in her long hair, tilting her hair back, kissing her before she could protest. When his lips touched her, all thoughts of protest vanished. There was just something so naughty about sitting on his lap and letting him pet her.
Razer sucked her tongue into his mouth, wanting to see if she would be able to respond to him in the heavily crowded room. Beth dragged her nails over his t-shirt covered chest. She was forgetting where she was at and getting into the moment when Razer broke away.
“Let’s go.” Razer tore his lips away.
“Where to?”
“My room. I don’t think you’re ready to fuck in public yet and if you keep scratching at me with those nails, I am tearing those jeans off you.” Standing up, he pulled her up on her feet.
Razer hustled her through the crowd and up the long flight of steps.
“Razer…”
He opened the second door at the top. Leading her inside, his lips found hers before she could say anything, shutting the door behind them. Beth was still trying to make up her mind if this was really what she wanted.
“Baby, you’re so hot.”
The trite phase that was something he probably had said to several women since hitting puberty brought Beth to her senses.
“Razer slow down.” She pushed him away and put her hands up to ward him off. “Ca
n we slow down a minute?”
