“I was busy,” Faith says with pink cheeks.
We all know what she was busy doing. All of us except the woman that King brought along, whose brows crash together. The more I look at the two of them I think they might be related. “Doing what?”
“I think we should go,” King says, reaching out to draw the woman away by her elbow.
“Why? You dragged me out of bed because you said you needed a woman to come with you to make sure that another girl was safe. You haven’t determined whether she’s safe yet. Are you safe?” she asks Faith.
“Yeah.”
“Let’s go,” King repeats and tugs again. “Sorry about the interruption. Maybe next time don’t hang up on me. The number of unwanted guests on your doorstep will decrease.”
“I’ll remember that.”
“But you won’t answer the phone, will you?”
“I will, though,” chirps Faith.
“If you need me, call,” the woman shouts while King leads her away. “I can drive over and get you.”
“With what wheels?” King grouses.
“Yours, of course.”
The door slams shut and Bear finally stops barking. Faith turns to me with bright eyes. “I like her. I can definitely see we’ll be friends. Since we’re up, how about round two?”
Chapter Ten
Faith
Conn licks his lips. I know I passed out on him but we have all the time in the world. He doesn’t seem to be too busy. I guess being a lumberjack you can jack whenever you want. Though he still hasn’t confirmed what he does. He’s got some fancy stuff around here. I didn’t think lumberjacking paid so well but what do I know about chopping wood? This outdoorsy thing isn’t really my thing but after seeing Conn, I may have to get into it more. Maybe he’ll take me glamping. That would be so much fun. We’ll probably have to wait for warmer weather. Even though with Conn’s size, I’m pretty sure that he’d have no problem keeping me warm.
My body heats thinking about how he’d looked eating me again and again. How his broad shoulders had my legs spread open wide to make room for him. Since the moment I woke up, the only thing that I could think about was how his body would feel on top of mine as he settled over me and took me. If he is half as good with his wood as he is with his tongue then I’m in for a treat. Hopefully this time I won’t pass out. Smittens circles my legs, letting out a small meow and I know she’s hungry. I push my lust-filled thoughts to the back burner.
“Let me feed her and we’ll have round two.” I wiggle my eyebrows. “Maybe we can go all the way this time.” My cherry is very much still intact. We also need to take pictures and have that pie that he promised. I’ve given him my pie and now it’s his turn. Conn clears his throat, breaking me out of all of my all-over-the-place thoughts. When I look up, he licks those lips that brought me so much pleasure and at that moment, I decide to forget the pie again. Who the hell needs pie when Conn tastes so much better? I look around to see where the bag is that I packed Smittens’ food in.
“Oh God.” I throw my hands over my face. “I’m so embarrassed.”
“Why?” Conn barks. I part two fingers so I can look at him with one eye. He’s doing that folded arms over his chest thing again. “King knows you’re staying here. Pretty sure he knows I’m fucking you.” I drop my hand from my face.
“You don’t have to call it”—I purse my lips—“fucking,” I finally say.
“I didn’t fuck you,” he points out.
“Stop calling it that!” I half shout.
“Stop being embarrassed that people think we slept together.” His jaw clenches so hard I worry that he might chip a tooth or something.
“That’s not why I’m embarrassed, you big grumpy jerkface.” I stomp over to one of my bags that he’d dropped when he brought all of my stuff inside. “I already said we’re making cute pictures to post so my ex gets the message. I think that implies we’re sleeping together.” I unzip the bag that weighs more than me and start pulling stuff out.
“Then what is the problem?” He drops his arms from over his chest. “I hate when you talk about your ex.” His hands clench into a fist.
“Other than you saying you just want to fuck me.” I stand, turning to look at him putting my hands on my hips. Bear plops down next to me, clearly on my side. Smittens is trying to attack Bear’s swaying tail, ignoring us all. I don’t know why but I don’t like him calling it that. I guess it could be hot if we were like in a relationship or something but right now with my virginity still intact, it feels wrong.
