I don't want to laugh at her but when she puffs out like a pissed-off little bird it's hard to take her serious. She's going to be cute as fuck once her belly starts growing. I wonder if Lexi will be the same way. I look back at her standing there gnawing on her lips. No, Lexi wouldn't be cute pregnant. She would be hot as fuck.
She's shorter than her sister so it would look like someone fucked and knocked up a fairy. Cute is what you think when you're sister tells you she's gonna pop out a nephew for you. Thinking of Lexi full of my baby is not cute. It makes my dick hard enough to kill someone with and cum leak down my leg like I'm thirteen again, which isn't cute at all.
"Jack!"
I snap back to the present and look down at Libby again. "Yeah, I get it. Keep her safe, don't hurt her."
The three of us walk downstairs to the dining room. I can tell as soon as we step into the room we've made a tactical error. Don scents the innocence coming off of Lexi like a shark scenting blood.
"Who do we have here? Fresh meat."
"Touch her and I make sure no one finds you again." All of the eyes in the room turn to me. Fuck it. "Not before I play with you for days though. You'll look like a fucking pin cushion before I bury you."
"Jack." Lexi puts her hands around my forearm like I might try to go for Don now. In the normal world, threatening a man like this in front of all these people would land my ass in hot water but this isn't the normal world and Don stepped into it willingly. He's in our world now.
"He just referred to you as fresh meat. You damn right I'm going to promise to kill him if he's stupid enough to try to touch you."
"I think what Jack is trying to say is he would like to make himself and Lexi a more public item. Everyone can see she belongs to you now, old friend. No need for violence." Jim smoothes things over with a soft voice that is a complete lie concerning who he really is. "Unless someone does try to touch what doesn't belong to him."
You can't really completely hide who you are. Not even Jim. I make sure to seat Lexi as far away from Don as I can and purposefully put myself in between his view of her. I make it through dinner without killing him but it takes a lot not to just end him. He just keeps trying to look at her and it makes me want to throttle him.
We all go to the family room and pick a seat so we can watch something together and just chill. It is one of the rare times all the men are home together and not out on missions or chasing down information. I don't let Lexi chose where we sit and instead pull her to a small couch that her sister and Jim end up sitting on the end of. I sit and pull her down in my lap. And realize my mistake immediately.
I can't keep this girl on my lap without popping wood, doesn't matter how hard I try. I am about to seat her beside her sister when Don comes into the room and tries to find a seat as close to the couch as he can. Thank God the guys have all filed in creating a human barrier between us and him. But even if he can't come closer I can't take the chance of sitting her aside and making him think we aren't close, that I wouldn't kill him if he did something to her - like speak to her.
She sits about as stiff as a person can sit in someone's lap. She reminds me of a nun sitting on Santa's lap telling him she wants a vibrator for Christmas. I pull her head closer to mine so I can whisper to her. The little hairs on the side of her head tickle my nose and brush against my lips. Her hair smells damn good. Whatever shampoo she uses really does it for me.
"If you get any more obvious I'm going to have to throw you on the table and take you in front of Don before he’ll begin to believe we're actually together." She lets out a little shocked gasp and turns her head towards me putting her lips in perfect range of mine. The corners of my mouth tilt up in something like a smile. I've not had anything to smile about in a long time. I lean up and take her lips in a kiss that apparently shocks everyone in the whole fucking room.
It definitely shocks the fuck out of me. The taste of Lexi explodes in my mouth. Candy would've been an apt name for her because she tastes like god damn gummy bears or taffy - the strawberry kind, my favorite kind. Her lips are the softest things I have ever touched. I can't imagine how soft her pussy will be. Not that I will ever find out but if I was going to take it I couldn't be rough with it. I would have to go in gently and make sure she was good and worked up before I ever put my cock near her.
When I pull back it's to stare into her shocked eyes and I realize I've made my second mistake of the night. She's going to blow our cover by slapping the shit out of me all because I couldn't seem to stop myself from taking just a taste of her mouth. She pushes against me but I don't let her stand up.
Our eyes meet and I try to tell her not to freak out. I see Don out of the corner of my eye sitting forward just waiting on the fireworks. "Jack!" she hits my chest not my face and isn't nearly as hard as I was expecting. "My sister..."
We both look over at Libby and I take my cue from Lexi. "She's going to have to get used to seeing us together, Sweets. I'm not a man who is going to keep his hands off." I turn my eyes back to Libby, "Sorry."
"No, no, it's...alright," she recovers as quickly as Lexi did. "She's my little sister and I'm just not used to her having...someone...be with her." Me and Lexi both sit and wait. This is important because this will show Don we are all standing together and there is no rift to exploit.
"I realize I have to get used to it. I didn't think when I asked Lexi to come here that the two of you would become so...close." She gives me a stern look that tells me she might be on to me. She might know that kiss wasn't part of the act. "But if you make her happy and you keep her safe I'll...get used to it. Somehow."
"I'm not buying it." Don's annoying fucking voice pipes in. "You're telling me you're fine with your innocent little sister being pawed at by a man like Jack. I don't think you would be okay with that. And Jack, you wouldn't disrespect Libby by making a move on her sister. Not after her taking care of you when you were shot. All that she did for you when you were out of it and you repay her by fucking her sister. I don't believe it."
"Hey, watch your fucking mouth when you talk about her or I'll rip out your tongue." I'm standing before I can think of a reason to stop myself. My hand already reaching for the knife I have strapped to my back. Lexi's hand curls around my arm bringing me back to what I am supposed to be focusing on. I damn near dumped her on the floor trying to go for Don.
"Jack, please...just sit back down. Please." She rubs up and down my arm offering me comfort.
He's right. I wouldn't disrespect Libby by making a fucking move on her little sister. She brought me back. Her voice talking to me every day, telling me to get the fuck up out of bed because I was needed was the reason I came back to the world of the living. What I didn't understand at the time is how much she sounded like her sister. Lexi. I have to wonder if I came back for something other than Libby.
"He wasn't the person that made the first move so he didn't disrespect anyone. I did." She sits back down on my lap once I fall down onto the couch. "Libby knows this; she understands Jack didn't do anything I didn't want him to do."
Her words feel like they have a deeper meaning but I can't unpack it right now. Not here.
