“I see you’re going to ignore my last question.”
Spinning around rapidly, I went to back kick his right hand but at the last second, he slightly turned, and I accidentally kicked him in the balls instead. He instantly fell to his knees on the ground.
“Oh shit!”
Peeling over on all fours, Cain grabbed onto his junk. His eyes were tightly shut, and his head was hanging in between his arms.
“I’m so sorry! I wasn’t aiming for that. You moved! Why did you move?”
He started coughing, almost like he was going to puke.
“Do you need me to get you a bucket?” I didn’t allow him to answer, I ran toward the bathroom and found the first thing I could. A garbage can. Hauling ass back to him, he was still in the same condition.
“Here. Throw up in there.”
He spit into the can.
“Did I break it?”
Heaving in and out for a few more seconds, he found his breathing. “I can barely fucking see straight.”
“Should I get you some ice?”
The last word barely left my mouth before he tackled me onto the ground. Now I was underneath him.
I gasped, surprised by the turn of events. His body was in between my legs, pressing his injured dick into my core. His right leg was hitched against my ass and the other stretched out behind him. He had one hand gripping my left thigh up to his hip and the other around the back of my neck, locking me firmly with his weight.
Looking deep into my eyes, he spanked me, hard.
“What the fu—”
“That’s for being a very, very, very bad girl, Mila.”
“Cain, don’t you dare!”
With a serious look in his eyes, he let me go a little. “That wasn’t very nice, Mi.”
“It was an accident.”
“Accident my ass.”
“You moved! You did it to yourself.”
His thumb started to caress my cheek as he rubbed the tip of his nose against mine. The scent of mint and Cain mixed together assaulted my senses, causing a wave of sensations to erupt.
Cain wasn’t looking for anything serious and to be completely honest, neither was I. We were just having fun and enjoying one another’s company. This was the first time since we started whatever this was six weeks ago that we were in this compromising position.
My eyes shifted toward the door. Thinking someone could walk in and I’d get fired.
“You’re going to get me in trouble.”
“Not any more trouble than you’re already in with me.”
With that, he kissed my lips.
My eyes closed.
My breathing hitched.
My mind went somewhere else entirely.
This embrace was much different than the ones we’d been having. His lips were rough but smooth against mine, his touch firm yet gentle. My heart drummed so fast, I swear he could hear it, feeling it against his chiseled chest. He pulled me closer by the nook of my neck as if I wasn’t already close enough, pinned beneath him.
“Fuck you feel good,” he huskily groaned. “How do you feel this good?”
All I could see…
All I could hear…
All I could feel…
Was Leo.
My knee moved on its own, my body just reacted to what he was saying, and I kneed him in the balls again.
He doubled over me. “Mila, what the fuck?”
“Ugh! I’m sorry I couldn’t breathe.”
“Yeah.” He fell to the side of my body, groaning, “Now neither can I.”
“I didn’t realize your balls were so close to my knee,” I lied. “I was just trying to get comfortable.”
“So was my dick.”
“I’m so sorry.” I kissed his cheek. “I’m going to get my big strong guy some ice, okay?”
“Oh, you’re going to give me that and more. Later. When I don’t feel like my balls are in my stomach.”
I didn’t know what to answer, other than, “I’ll be right back. Stay put.”
“I don’t have another choice, now do I? My dick is going to be afraid to show you how mighty he is if our close encounters keep going like this.”
I frowned, and stood, hurrying out of there.
Except, it wasn’t Cain on my mind the entire time I babied him back to health.
It was Leo.
My best friend who stopped trying to be in my life.
And I couldn’t blame anyone but myself.
Chapter 30
—Mila—
Two weeks later
“Mi! Come here,” Cain excitedly hollered.
It was the first time we took his catamaran out to sea. He finished rebuilding his engine the night before and we were taking her out for a spin.
I walked up to the upper deck and looked out to where he was pointing. Two dolphins were frolicking in the distance. It truly was an amazing sight to see with the sun beaming down on our faces, warming our skin.
“I love dolphins, let’s go swim with them.”
He laughed, “We’re not swimming with the dolphins. We’ll scare them away.”
I peered up at him grinning, recognizing the gleam in his gaze. It was a little off, sort of strange. I could read him pretty easily by this point and I could tell what he was thinking. He was getting ready to attack. I screamed when he effortlessly scooped me up.
“You want to swim with dolphins?”
“No, I was joking. Don’t you dare, Cain! I’m wearing a dress. Let me put on my bikini,” I demanded, tightening my arms around his neck. “Trust me, if I go in, you’re coming with me.”
He chuckled, “You do realize that I am a hell of a lot bigger than you, don’t you?”
“And you realize I could—”
“You could what, Mila?” He knew he had the upper hand. “Tell me what you could do?” With ease, he shifted my body, and my legs naturally wrapped around his waist.
“So, where can a girl get a drink around here?”
“I got you margarita mix. It’s in the fridge along with your Don Julio tequila.”
“Does that mean you’ve forgiven me for hurting your friend?”
“What friend are you referring to?”
I narrowed my eyes at him, not understanding.
“Leo or my cock?”
“I’m hurting Leo?”
He set me down on the ground. “When’s the last time you talked to him?”
“I don’t know. I’m not keeping track.”
He arched his eyebrow as if calling my bluff.
“What? He’s the one that stopped reaching out to me. I guess he’s too busy with work—”
“I talked to him this morning.”
Before I could regret asking, I blurted, “Does he know about us?”
“What about us? We’re basically friends who kiss sometimes unless you’re kicking me in the balls. That’s the only time you’ve touched it since we started whatever this is.”
“I told you it was an accident.”
“And I told you, you’re full of shit.”
I rolled my eyes. “Is that your way of telling me he knows?”
“Do you want him to know?”
