“Don’t be ridiculous, Gabs,” Jaxson said with a laugh that sounded very forced. She propped her hands on her hips and added a tap with her foot. She gave him a look that said he couldn’t escape, which made him cave. “It’d never work between us.”
“And why not?”
Although she had never pictured Jaxson and Mia together, she thought they’d make a great couple. They’d be perfect for each other.
“You know everything about her, and she knows everything about you. You wouldn’t have to go through all those awkward stages of getting to know each other. I’d say it would work quite well. You guys would be great together.”
He took a tentative step toward her. “Does she see me other than a friend? Because I’ll be honest, Gabs. I’ve liked her for a while. I hate seeing those losers she dates come in and out of her life. I never see her look at me like she looks at those jerks.”
She shrugged. “I don’t know, Jax. We’ve never talked about you like that, and I’ve never paid attention to whether she liked you more than a friend. But it can’t hurt to try.”
“And ruin a good thing we all have. Ruin a nice friendship. No, thanks, Gabs. I’ll pass.” He walked closer and placed a hand on her shoulder. “I know you like him. I can see that he’s different from the other guys you’ve dated. Be careful. I don’t want to see him break your heart. You’re my best friend. When you hurt, I hurt.”
She grabbed his hand that lay tenderly on her shoulder. “He makes me happy. He also makes me irritated, aggravated, and angry at times. But that also makes it interesting and enjoyable. Who wants a boring, plain relationship?”
“I hear you, but be careful. I’ll leave. See you tomorrow at work.”
He took a few steps before she said, “Are you going to check on Mia?”
Turning around with a pained expression she wasn’t used to seeing on him, he replied, “I don’t think so. Make sure to call her later tonight.”
Gabby sighed and made her way to the kitchen where she saw Dane staring at the microwave, his face pulled down with sadness, as the seconds ticked down.
“You don’t like Jaxson?” Her question came out quieter than she intended. Probably because she didn’t want to ask at all. She didn’t want her potential boyfriend and best friend not getting along.
He turned around. A muscle ticked in his jaw before he responded. “I’m not sure how I feel about him. I’m not sure I like sharing you with anyone. That sounds possessive and jealous, even to my ears. I don’t want to feel like that. Yet, I wanted to shove him out of the apartment several times. Did I hear the door close?”
She stepped into his arms and rested her head against his chest. “He left because I told him I wanted you all to myself. He understood. He’s my best friend, Dane. I also work with him every day, all day. We’re very close. You can’t ask me to shove him out of my life.”
“Did I ask you to do that? I said I wanted to shove him out, but I controlled myself. I know this. I see it. One more thing for me to work through. Patience. Remember?”
“Lots of patience with you. Whatever will I do with you?”
He grabbed her around the waist, lifting her. She giggled, wrapping her legs around him as naturally as drawing her next breath. “I can think of several things you can do with me.”
He started walking out of the kitchen. She glanced back at the microwave that had dinged loudly, announcing that their popcorn was finished. “What about our snack?”
“You’re all the snack I need,” he said as he sat down on the couch with her still wrapped around his waist. She started to try to get up, but his hands were stuck like glue on her waist. “I like it right here.”
She pried his fingers off while smiling deviously at him. Standing up, she bent down to the coffee table where she had tossed a few condoms down. “Me too.”
She took off her clothes, swaying her body in a way that she hoped he found sexy. Dancing provocatively for a man wasn’t something she did. For Dane, she found she liked to do new and exciting things. And if him pausing as he removed his pants was any indication that he enjoyed it, she knew she would continue to do these sorts of things in the future.
Considering her small erotic dance had stalled him from removing his clothes, she took over the task for him. By the time he was gloriously naked for her, she had ripped open the condom package and sat down on his legs.
“You never give me the pleasure of putting this on. You keep your hands to yourself, mister,” she said as she grabbed ahold of his hard cock that stood waiting for attention.
“I can make no promises, Gabriella,” he said with a strangled voice.
“Then you won’t get your treat. You sit still or pay the consequences,” she said with a wicked smile as she slid off his knees to the floor.
“What…what are you doing?” he asked breathlessly, right before she clamped her mouth onto his rock-hard cock.
He had tasted, feasted, and devoured her body several times last night, giving her so much pleasure she could still feel the aftermath. Not once had he allowed her to do anything in return. No more. It was her turn for some fun. And she was having fun.
She sucked him harder when she heard a low groan leave his mouth. She swirled her tongue around, moving her hand in rhythm with her mouth. Up and down. No matter the words she said, he couldn’t sit still, moving perfectly to her tune.
Relishing in the low growls that slipped from his mouth had her squeezing harder and sucking him like a yummy lollipop. Her other hand rested on his thigh and held the condom. But she yearned for more. He tasted delicious, the tiny lifts of his hips each time she moved her tongue in another direction had her wanting to move with him.
