“Water is fine,” I called out to him before he could walk off again. My mouth watered as the scintillating scent of freshly cooked food hit me. My stomach grumbled so loudly; I flushed in embarrassment. I finished snapping the last piece of the playpen into place as Breakneck asked, “Hungry?”
I turned to see him staring at my butt, since I was bent over to put the playpen together. My shirt had risen from where it was normally pulled down to hide my figure from prying eyes. My body was built a lot like my mother, with sultry curves most men appreciated. Fortunately for me, I knew firsthand just how much trouble it could get a woman into when the wrong man appreciated her assets.
“When’s the last time you ate a good meal?” Breakneck asked as he closed the distance between us, so that I could take the baby from him. My hands shook a little and his brow popped up, as if willing me to answer the question.
I shrugged. “I’m a college student. We’re not known for eating well.”
“Your clothes are too big for your body. Seems to me, you aren’t eating at all.”
I pointed at the plate of food. “As soon as I get him down, I have food to eat.”
He turned his body away from me when I moved to grab Knoxville again. “Nope. You sit and eat. When you’re done, I’ll give him back.”
“Weren’t you just scared of holding him moments ago?” I questioned, allowing a tiny bit of frustration to bleed into my voice.
“Yeah, and now there’s more important shit to handle. You eat. Then you get the baby back.”
“You have someone waiting on you,” I reminded him.
“Two actually,” he corrected, “and they’ll continue waiting.” The cockiness in his tone suggested that maybe he even enjoyed the fact that they would wait for him without question.
“I really don’t feel comfortable eating while you’re standing there staring at me,” I finally admitted.
“Don’t care. Eat the damn food. I can hear your stomach waging war with your insides as we speak.”
A warm flush suffused my skin again as I sat in a huff and stuffed two fries into my mouth. “There, happy?” I asked while still chewing. I’d been raised with far better manners, but things like that seemed to go out the window in a place like this.
His amusement made those bright eyes of his twinkle. There didn’t seem to be a way to decipher what color they were, since getting closer, in better lighting, was out of the question. It was almost as if they changed when he shifted in the light, though. One moment I would have sworn they were green, the next blue.
The ruggedly beautiful man’s attention was pulled toward the hallway where he had two women waiting. As if Breakneck could no longer wait to get to them, he leaned over and placed the baby in my arms and took off like a bat out of hell. I guess he really didn’t care if I ate more than two fries. The abrupt change was jarring, but the man owed me absolutely nothing.
Shrugging off my disappointment was all I could do as I got up to lay the baby down in the playpen so I could finish eating. He was right, that needed to happen above everything else because I felt weak and shaky from lack of sustenance. It wouldn’t do anyone any good if I couldn’t even pick up the slight weight of the child I was charged with caring for.
It was a little after ten in the evening, when Ashlynn finally arrived to pick up her son. She did so, while complaining the whole time that I hadn’t taken him to the house and cared for him there. After about the third time she mumbled something about me just wanting to be a club slut, Kip shut her down and laid the blame where it belonged, with the baby’s mother who hadn’t thought enough about her own child to leave his car seat behind.
I managed to slink out in the middle of their argument and drove myself home. I lamented the fact that the gym had already closed for the night and that meant a shower was out of the question. There was no way I’d do it at the house, since I worried that there wasn’t really any privacy there, considering how often my creepy landlord would ask when I was going to get one.
Instead of being able to get clean and wash the day away, I curled up under the threadbare blanket I’d found in a second-hand store and cried myself to sleep. Again.
Chapter 6
Breakneck
Watching the cute little babysitter shove those fries into her mouth was about all I could handle. When she tried to speak around the mouthful of food, I was done for. All I could picture was her taking my cock and trying to talk to me around it while looking up at me with those little orbs of icy innocence.
I didn’t know how I was going to stand it if Kip made it a regular thing for the woman to come to the clubhouse to watch his brat. There was something about her that went beyond the natural beauty she wore without seeming to realize the effect she had on the men around her. Then again, maybe she knew and didn’t like it, if her clothes were anything to go by. She certainly wasn’t dressing to be noticed. Just the opposite. That didn’t stop me from seeing everything she attempted to hide. The woman had lost weight since the first time we’d met. It bothered me that I noticed, because it meant something was going on to cause that much of a difference.
There was no way in hell I could stand to watch that ass and those magnificent tits waste away. It wasn’t healthy. Then again, I also couldn’t stand there and watch her eat. My dick got hard at the thought of feeding her. Not just my cock and cum either, though that was where my mind had wandered when I had to shove the kid off on her and leave. No, I wanted to feed her some food, get that figure back that I’d seen when she first started working for Kip.
I nearly turned my ass back around and went to ask her out to dinner before I remembered that Kip had just brought her food.
“What the fuck is wrong with me?” I mumbled as I entered my bedroom.
“You kept us waiting a really long time, so I’d like to know the answer to that as well,” Liz demanded with attitude that made me want to throw her ass against a wall, and not in a good way.
“Get out!”
“We’ve been waiting for you to show up and now you’re going to kick us out?” Liz shouted at me.
