“Baby, stop,” I said.
“Why?”
“Because I don’t know if I can go again.”
He furrowed his brow and looked pained. “Sweets, did I hurt you tonight?”
“Well…I asked you to, but I’m sore.”
He kissed down my chest, working his way down my body. “Can I help you with that?”
“Maybe…” I said cheekily and grinned as he continued to kiss down my torso.
I ran my hand through his blonde locks as he situated himself between my legs. He kissed my thighs, and I hitched in a breath as he got closer to my center. “Tell me to stop if you don’t want me to.”
I shoved his head down to my clit, and he chuckled into my pussy. I was sore but not sore enough that if he wanted to pleasure me, I was going to say no.
“Mmm...so good. I love tasting you, sweets,” he moaned. He lifted up his head a bit to give me a cheeky grin, and then he went back to work.
I leaned back and gave into the pleasure, letting this man unravel my body and soul. Our time was quickly expiring, but I didn’t care at this moment. Not when he feasted on me like it would be the very last time. Like he needed to draw out my pleasure for his own survival. I was sore and well-fucked, but it didn’t stop me from arching my back and letting the pleasure take over.
“Fuuuck,” I moaned and gripped his hair.
He lifted his head up slightly. “One last time for me, sweets. Come for me one more time.”
All I did was nod, and then my orgasm exploded behind my eyes as he dipped his head back down and sucked on my clit.
I was done for. So done for. This man had broken me. And I didn’t care. Not when his name was a scream on my lips. And not when the waves of pleasure washed over me. Future Veronica would deal with those pesky feelings later.
Chapter Twenty-Three
BLAISE
I moaned as the steak hit my tastebuds.
TJ kicked my foot under the table. “Dude, don’t come in your pants over there.”
I winked at him. “I might. We played a good game tonight.”
“Fuck yeah, we did! Too bad, though,” TJ mused.
“Why?” Benny asked.
“Because shutouts make me horny,” TJ explained.
Benny shrugged. “That’s what video chat sex is for.”
Noah’s face got bright red, and TJ gagged. Sometimes I thought Benny said shit like that to annoy TJ, but I roomed next door to Benny last night. I definitely heard some shit when I was trying to sleep that I didn’t need to hear. He and Rox might be the horniest couple on the team. I wished I didn’t know that.
“Dinah doesn’t like that,” Noah said, but he was still beet red.
Benny chewed thoughtfully. “Then get her a new vibrator. That worked with Rox.”
TJ looked like he wanted to throw up.
I high-fived Benny. “Oh, co-sign, dude. I love using vibrators on women.”
“Right?” Benny agreed. “It’s so hot!”
“The hottest,” I agreed.
“They beg for your cock,” Benny laughed.
“It’s the best,” I agreed again.
TJ downed his scotch faster.
Noah’s eyes were wide with shock. “I don’t think D even has one of those.”
I tipped back my head with a laugh. “Yeah, she does.”
Noah shook his head. “No way, dude.”
“How do you know?” I asked.
“I don’t,” he admitted and chewed his lip thoughtfully. “We’re kinda vanilla.”
“Nothing wrong with vanilla. You like what you like,” I said.
“Check her top drawer when you get home,” Benny said. “No way she doesn’t have one when we’re on the road all the time. I had to get Rox a new one because she broke her last one.”
TJ gnashed his teeth. “How can one wash their brain out? I don’t want to know that.”
I took a swig of my scotch and felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I couldn’t help the smile quirking up on my lips at the selfie from Veronica. Her black hair now had dark purple at the ends, and she was sitting on her bed wearing my Bulldogs t-shirt. I don’t know what it was about women wearing my t-shirts or my hoodies, but this possessive streak in me always loved it. It would be even better if she was wearing my jersey again.
VERONICA: Does it look okay? I think she went too dark.
ME: Banging sweets!
VERONICA: You sure about going to this wedding tomorrow?
ME: Can’t wait.
TJ kicked me again. “You and V make up?”
I ate more of my dinner. “Yeah, we did, for now.”
“What do you mean?” TJ asked, his hazel eyes narrowing at me.
I sighed. “Me being away all the time’s hard for her.”
The three other guys nodded.
“Yeah, it’s tough on them, but if she loves you, she’ll make it through,” Noah said.
Benny pointed his fork at me accusingly. “You’ve told her you love her, right?”
I shook my head. “Umm...we’re still not there yet.”
“Hmm. Didn’t take me long with Rox,” Benny said and raised his dark eyebrows at me.
TJ waved both him and Noah off. “Neither of you count. Noah sat there and pined for Dinah for years, and Benny, you eye fucked my sister for three years while you both pretended to hate each other.”
Benny elbowed the smaller man. “Okay. It take you long with Max?”
“Well...not too long, but we took it slow. Max is shy,” TJ explained.
That much I knew. Max had been painfully shy in high school, but I always thought that was because of her uber-religious upbringing.
“Holmsy, what gives?” Noah asked.
“Nothing, just thinking out loud. Besides, we have that wedding tomorrow.”
“Wedding sex is the best!” TJ cheered.
My phone buzzing in my pocket distracted me from the conversation.
VERONICA: Call me before you go to bed?
ME: Give me a few minutes?
VERONICA: K!
When I looked up, TJ and Benny both gave me a grin.
“Get out of here and go call your girl,” Benny teased.
“You guys are the worst,” I teased back and threw some bills down on the table. I downed my scotch and took off upstairs. I got a quick shower and laid on the bed shirtless before hitting call on my video chat app.
Veronica’s cute face appeared blurry at first, but then she came into focus. She smiled at me, and it made my chest hurt, but in a good way.
Damn, I missed her.
“Aw, sweets, your hair looks better on video.”
She pushed her hair behind her ear and gave me a shy smile. “Thanks. What time does your flight get in tomorrow?”
I leaned back on the bed, putting an arm behind my head. “Early, don’t worry, I won’t miss it.”
She nodded.
She was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed, and she was definitely not wearing panties as I got a quick view of her pussy. I wished she was here with me, lying in my arms and kissing me. Even if we weren’t in a relationship, this traveling thing sucked. I don’t know how I did it for so long with Astrid. Maybe that said something about our relationship because I never longed for Astrid the way I did for Veronica.
