“Don’t leave. Stay. No pressure, I promise, baby, no pressure.” He caressed her hair and her back. It calmed her and brought her some relief from shaking.
She felt his hand at the base of her lower back and over the top part of her ass where it curved out. She hugged him around the waist and clutched him best she could. He was so big, so strong and solid, she couldn’t even touch her fingers behind him.
“Hey, is everything all right over here?” Richie asked as he approached. She tightened her hold on Carl then slowly began to pull away. She tilted her head up toward him. He glanced down at her and smiled, his dimples nearly winking at her.
“Everything is fine.”
“Good. We’re almost done here. What do you say we go for a ride, grab some lunch, and hang out?” Richie asked, and Juliet started to pull away from Carl as she shook her head.
Carl placed his fingers under her chin and gripped it lightly. “Hey, I promised no pushing. We’ll take our time, baby.”
She wanted to say no. She didn’t want to take such a chance in being alone with them somewhere, but she found herself agreeing. Both men smiled.
“Let’s go then,” Richie stated, and they headed back toward the others.
Chapter 6
Juliet stood in front of the mirror to apply some final touches to her makeup. It was Friday night, and she was in charge of the reserved section along with a few of the waitstaff. She applied the red lipstick and the gloss that made it shine. She added some mascara to her long, thick eyelashes, bringing out the blue color in her eyes after she applied some eye shadow. Her hair was down, brushed to one side, and clasped. She didn’t have to wear her usual attire or the Dixie Chix T-shirt that Carl and Richie didn’t like her wearing. She smiled to herself. Like she would stop wearing that shirt. It was one of her favorites and she had it in three other colors.
She smirked then looked at herself one last time. Yesterday was a nice day. Carl had stuck to his word about taking things slow. Richie had stated that he never made such a promise, so he was a bit harder to keep at bay. Before the end of their afternoon, they both had her practically begging for their touch as they mastered the fine art of oral sex once again in the small Corvette.
She felt her cheeks blush. She liked them both. A lot.
“Now that is a smile I’d like to see more often,” Susanna state
d as she stood by the doorway watching Juliet.
Juliet stood up and fixed her black flare skirt with the scattered blue rhinestones on it. Her matching blue camisole with the black sheer blouse was tied low against her waist. Her skin was showing and so was the belly ring that Carl and Richie found to be very sexy.
“You look hot,” Susanna stated.
“Well, I’m working the VIP section, so who’s coming tonight?” she asked Susanna.
“Well, there’s some oil-drilling friends of BJ’s and Monte’s and then some other businessman from Austin or something. His secretary called, said he heard about our dance hall making the top-ten lists and decided he would like to see what we’re all about. She mentioned that this guy likes to invest in numerous businesses.”
“You’re not thinking about selling?”
“Hell no! This is it for me. I’m not even close to thirty yet. I’ve got time, and this is a dream come true for all of us. Now tell me, how did things go with Carl and Richie yesterday?”
“They went well. I told them that I need us to slow things down. They were reluctant to agree, but I convinced them…eventually.”
“That’s good, honey. You’ve got to be ready for this type of relationship.”
“I know.”
“Okay, everyone is meeting out front. Ready?”
“Sure I am.”
Juliet followed Susanna out of the staff lounge and into the main area by the bar. Outside, the large crowd awaited entry into Dixie Chix. The women all gathered around and smiled wide. They were all dressed for a fun and wild Friday night. Plus it was open mic night from eight until ten. There were some really talented people living in Delite.
The ladies placed their hands into the center and yelled together in one strong voice, “Dixie Chix.”
“All right, ladies, get to your stations and remember to be safe,” Susanna told them, and they headed to their stations.
As Juliet walked toward the private section, she caught sight of Richie, dressed in black dress pants, a dark blue cowboy shirt, and black cowboy boots. His eyes widened, and she smiled at him then winked. He gave her a wink back, and she felt her belly flutter. God, he was one sexy man.
