“Hey,” I said as she stared at me from the driver's seat. “Can we talk?”
“Get in,” Jamie nodded toward the passenger seat and reached down to roll up her window.
I walked around the Camaro and folded myself into the passenger seat before I reached out to pull the door closed. I had barely gotten it shut all the way before she put the car in gear and backed out of the drive.
“I figured this was coming,” Jamie started. “Just do me a favor and don’t tell anyone the real reason you let me go.”
“You think I’m going to fire you?”
“Well, I don’t really know what to think,” she told me honestly. “Or what you’re thinking right now.”
“You want to know what I’m thinking?”
“Yeah,” she said as she glanced my way. “I do.”
“I’m thinking that the next fucking night I spend with you in my arms better end when we wake up the next morning together. I’ll fuck you until we’re both good and awake, put you in the shower with me, and fuck you some more. Then you can take your sweet ass home, not before.” I had no idea where that had come from.
I had planned this conversation in my head 20 different ways so far and that was not one of them. I needed to tell her that it would be better to pretend that we’d never been together and move on. I needed to remind her that I was her boss and she was my employee and that I counted all three of her big brothers as my good friends.
And what did I do? I just informed her that this was going to happen again.
“So, you’re suggesting a fuck-buddies situation.”
I wasn’t. I was suggesting she wake up beside me and we go from there situation and I had no fucking idea why. But her plan sounded good, at least until I could work out the other shit in my head.
“Sure,” I agreed. “You have something better?”
“I’d hoped that was one option,” Jamie said honestly. “But I figured getting fired would happen when I saw the look on your face in my driveway.”
The more I thought of it, the more I really liked her idea, so I talked out the merits of it as I thought of them.
“We live close enough to each other that sneaking in and out won’t be an issue,” I started.
“Always at your house, never mine. Kids.”
“Okay, so you sneaking over to my house won’t be a problem. You won’t have to go far at all, just wait until the boys are asleep and come to me.”
Jamie nodded, considering that.
“We’ll be boss and employee at work,” I explained. “No one needs to know about our thing and that includes your roommate.”
“Roommate’s gonna know.” She shook her head. “I have to tell her I’ll be at your house or she’ll assume I’m back in my shop working. If something happens and she needs me, she has to be able to find me.”
“You have a shop?” I asked her, getting completely off the subject. “Wait, back to what we were talking about. Can you trust her to keep her mouth shut?”
“She has so far,” Jamie shrugged as she pulled up to a stop sign. “That’s not going to change. Neva and I have been keeping each other’s secrets since she watched me cut Amanda Pennington’s braid off during circle time.”
“You what?”
“First grade,” Jamie explained. “She used to swing her fucking hair around and slap me in the face with it. Every single fucking day.”
“Damn,” I laughed. “Ruthless.”
“Yeah,” Jamie laughed with me. “It grew back quicker than you’d think. Helped out a lot when I dragged her across the foursquare play area and whipped her ass in fifth.”
“Arch nemesis?”
“She wore bows,” Jamie explained, as if that was enough. “And she was pretty. She liked to remind me that I am not.”
“You’re fucking beautiful,” I turned to stare at her in shock. “Don’t play that bullshit begging for compliments.”
“Bullshit?” Jamie sounded exasperated as she looked over her shoulder while she went up the ramp to get on the highway. She hit the gas and the car shot forward, gaining speed, and before long we were flying. “Do you need your eyes checked, Daughtry? Look at me.”
“I am looking at you,” I scoffed. “Still beautiful.”
“Whatever,” she rolled her eyes but never looked away from the road. “No makeup, hair always braided away from my face, barely any tits to speak of, and my hands always have grease in the knuckles no matter how much I scrub.”
“Your face is perfect and doesn’t need all that goopy shit, your fucking hair looks goddamn good spread out on my pillow or when I’m pulling it while I fuck you, and my hands have the same fucking problem.” I explained. “But your ass, Jesus, your ass.”
Jamie laughed.
“And those hips, I just want to grab them so I can fuck you every time you’re near me. And while we’re on the subject of you near me, cut it with the apple shit. I took a bite of an apple I got off the counter at my brother’s house the other day and had an instant fucking hard on.”
Jamie laughed even harder, “You’re serious.”
“Yes, I’m fucking serious. It was embarrassing.”
“Your only other option is coconuts. You eat those often?”
“Fuck, then I’ll be imagining you in a bikini. Just avoid food and fruit altogether, okay?”
“Not happening,” Jamie explained. “Bubble baths are my valium.”
“Shit,” I reached down and adjusted my cock because the zipper was going to leave a permanent mark on it, I was so hard. “That just made it all worse.”
“You think I’m pretty,” Jamie laughed. “I like that.”
“Whatever,” I shrugged. “I already told you that. So, next thing. If we’re fucking, there’s no one else. I don’t want to start wearing condoms and I’m gonna have to trust you to stay clean.”
“You better do the same then,” she told me. “That’s only fair.”
“Okay, do whatever other than fucking. That’s mine.”
“I can do that.” Jamie paused. “So, we’re set? Good talk.”
“You do realize you’re going about 90, don’t you?” I didn’t know what else to say about our agreement. Apparently I was going to get my cake and eat it, too. Fuck buddy with a banging body, a mouth that wouldn’t quit, and a pussy that could take every inch of the pounding I liked to give it. And to boot, she’d keep her mouth shut so there were no problems at the shop or with her brothers.
“110.”
“Oh, that’s so much better. Gives new meaning to the ‘drive it like you stole it’ saying.”
“If I wanted to drive like an old lady, I’d buy a fucking Buick.”

I woke up with Jamie’s mouth around my cock and I was already about to explode. I lifted my head and looked down to see her staring at me as she jacked me with one hand and tried to suck my soul out of my body with her mouth.
