“Um, no. It's not.” She was a bit breathless, which made my grin grow. She scowled at me for that, which didn’t help me not smile at her. Even her scowl was sexy.
“No? So, you often have to hunt down those he owes and pay them off?”
She half-heartedly snorted. I was pretty sure she was suddenly feeling off her game tonight. Good.
“No, this is the first time since high school that I have personally paid off his debts. And that time was only because I stopped the guy from beating him to a pulp.”
It was my turn to frown. “You’ve been paying off your older brother’s debts since high school?” I was pretty sure our ages weren’t that far off, which meant high school wasn’t exactly yesterday.
“Sadly, yes. I didn’t trust him this time, not after what happened the other day. He told me he only owed you 5,000, which I now know was a lie. I’m sorry he got hurt because of it, but I truly hope he learned from it - although I doubt it.” She sighed sadly. “Look, can I just give this to you and call it a night? I literally came here from work and I’m tired.”
I believed it. She looked tired. But not just from working all day. She needed the break from reality as much as I did. A change of pace.
Pushing the limits, I moved my right hand down to her knees and played with the rim of her skirt. Her eyes locked on mine, but she didn’t say anything. Not verbally anyway. Her eyes lit on fire, begging me. I buckled to their beauty and slowly began sliding my hand between her legs, which parted slightly for me.
As my hand made its way further North, I leaned in and began kissing her jaw. “Are you sure I can’t convince you to stay for a while. I know a great way to help you relax.”
“N… no. I don’t find clubs all that relaxing.”
“Oddly enough, I was thinking the very same thing before you showed up. We can leave, go somewhere more private.” I moved down her neck, which she graciously made available to me.
She gasped when my hand grazed right along the edges of her now. I licked the flames of her neck and nibbled on it. Suddenly, her legs slapped shut on my hand and she ripped her head back.
I chuckled. She moved away from my lips, but my hand was still firmly held in place. Just to be a brat, I wiggled my fingers slightly and she tensed.
“I only came here to pay my brother’s debt of 10 grand. That’s all.”
My grin turned a bit evil, and a slight whimper came out of her. This was the most fun I had had in quite some time. And we hadn’t even made it to the good part yet.
“Oh, but sweetheart. His debt stopped being 10 grand when the clock struck 7.”
“That’s impossible. Randy said he had until Friday. Today is Friday.” She cursed and shook her head, her eyes closed. “I can’t get any more to you any time soon. And I know he doesn’t have it. He barely makes enough to cover his own bills.”
Since I was probably already slotted for a trip to hell when this life was over anyway, I thought I would try one more thing.
“I could always take that last 3 in trade.”
“What do you mean? You don’t even know what I do, let alone my name.”
I chuckled and leaned in to kiss the other side of her jaw now. “I think you know what I mean.”
