Page 17 of Eating Kandy

Sharp teeth sink into my thigh and I gasp, biting back a moan. Holy hell he’s going to make me come with someone else in the house.

I manage to pull on a straight face just as Ted peeks his balding head with its fringe of gray hair around the doorway.

“You decent, Kandy?”

Um, hell no! I peek down to find for once all my bits are covered. “Mostly.”

Ted takes that as an invitation and steps into the doorway. “You know I wouldn’t bother you on your day off, but I don’t know what’s going on. At least half the town—”

My door swings open.

He cuts off abruptly and his gaze travels from my face and then farther down over the bulky covers.

Well, hell.

None of my bits might be showing but there is little I can do to hide the enormous bulge of Ryder. Or his legs and feet that I am sure must be hanging over the edge of the bed.

Kill. Me. Now.

Ted’s eyes fly back to mine and he sends me a sheepish grin as his cheeks turn pink.

Any other time, you know, and I’d tease him mercilessly about the blush.

Ted is a grizzly old, retired truck driver who swears like a sailor and has no problem clocking a dude when they run their mouth too much.

In fact, there are several men in town who’ve been on the receiving end of Ted’s fist when they ran their mouths more than he cared to listen to.

Now that he is retired, Ted works for me at the diner. Usually he is fine opening things up on his own, but of course today, the first, no second, day I wake up with my virginity a thing of the past and a man’s face between my legs, Ted needs me.

I call bullshit. I crank a brow at my old-timer friend.

Nosy small-towners. I swear if I didn’t love them to pieces…

I have better things to do than entertain Ted while Ryder waits impatiently between my legs. And I know he is impatient because he slowly shifts his head and reaches forward with his tongue to drag the tip over my dripping slit from bottom to top.

And those fingers of his have ways of entertaining themselves, too. They’ve slowly started to finger fuck me, and it’s taking all my concentration not to moan or start glowing with embarrassment.

Oh, sweet Jesus.

I clench my thighs around his head and dig my nails into his scalp. But that only results in eliciting a quiet chuckle from the bastard. A chuckle that causes his tongue to dance against my clit.

I hold back a moan and my gaze flies to Ted. “What’s wrong, Ted? Is the lock on the front door jammed again?”

Ted grins and hitches his thumbs in his belt loop while he rocks back on his heels a bit. “Nope. Not a thing wrong with the lock. Though, I kind of wish there was. That door’s getting a workout this morning. Couldn’t figure out what was going on when everyone started to turn up, but things are starting to get clearer.”

I rolls my eyes again at his knowing grin. “I can’t believe I have to say this to you of all people. But get to the damned point,Ted.”

He must realize he sounds exactly like the gossips he hates listening to at the diner because the grin drops from his face, though the corners of his lips still twitched a bit. “Sorry. I’m thinkingsomeonegot wind you have yourself a new man and shared it around. That is a new man, right? That’s not the ex up under there?”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake.” I hold the covers to my chin while I untangled my body from around Ryder. I slide to the other side of the bed and, careful to make sure I hold the comforter so it covers all of me, I flip the other edge of the cover back to reveal Ryder’s head. He’s wearing a shit-eating grin and thank fuck he has that beard or I am sure my juices would be shining off his chin. But screw it.

“Ryder, Ted. Ted, Ryder. You didn’t get to meet before. Ted was on a supply haul,” I offer by way of introduction.

“Ryder, Ted works for me at the diner. Usually he’s fine handling mornings on his own, but I’m guessing either he’s turned into a peeping Tom and decided to come right on up here to get his jollies or else there’s a problem at the diner.”

“Hey, I’m no perv,” Ted grunts like some ogre. He gives a violent jerk of his thumb over his shoulder. “It’s all the rest of those assholes who have a problem.”

I grin at the return of the normal bad-tempered Ted. “What assholes are the problem today?”
