“Melly,” I said, the two syllables drawn out.
“Danny doesn’t do it for me. He’s nice and I like him, but he doesn’t make me hot. Guys my age don’t. They’re… not men. I mean, they’re men but they’re not manly enough. Okay? Now you know.” That came out in one swift rush, as if they fell out of her mouth without any ability to stop them.
“Now I know,” I repeated, immensely pleased. Danny was out. Guys her age were out. I was in, yet I needed to apologize for today. She may want a real man, but I’d acted like an overbearing asshole. Not once, but twice.
“I overreacted,” I admitted, giving her a small smile. “Earlier.”
She offered me one back. “You think? Are you always so big and… growly?”
“Yes,” I said right away because I not only stormed into the vet’s office but into the bar, too. And I’d waited earlier on her stoop all big and… yeah, growly. “Why did you call me?” With every revelation she revealed, I had a feeling I knew, but I wanted to hear it from her.
She sighed, her shoulders drooping. “I was mad. The girls and I agreed you’re an idiot and I wanted to make sure you knew it.”
I tipped my head and laughed. “I’m well aware of how many mistakes I made today with you and I’m sorry.”
“Then I say we start over.”
It seemed her little phone call wasn’t normal for her. I was catching on that she didn’t like confrontation or not liking someone. Or them not liking her in return. It was best to forget we’d been at odds instead of learning from it.
I shook my head. “No way.”
Her brows lifted. “Why not?”
I leaned forward, set both hands on her thighs. She didn’t pull away, didn’t do anything but swallow hard, then bite her bottom lip, then look at my hands. Yeah, she wanted me. A real man. “Because you didn’t call me to tell me you were mad about everything I did, but mad because you really want my dick and you thought I didn’t want to give it to you.”
She gasped.
“You’re horny and you want my dick. Admit it.”

DANIEL
Admit it.
Would she? There was no question she was aroused and interested. But women were funny. Notha hafunny, butwhat the hell were they thinking?funny. Just like her phone call, she said one thing but meant another. She could toss her wine in my face out of principle alone but would then miss out on a man-made orgasm. Especially since she told me–unintentionally–she was a virgin.
Shit. Shit! I blew it. If she’d wanted me, she’d have said so. Maybe she really was just mad and I’d been all growly when I should have been apologetic and contrite. Now I wasn’t sure if I should protect my balls, grab a napkin in preparation for the wine that was about to be flung on me or what.
But little Melly Harwood continued to surprise me because she nodded.
NODDED.
Fuck. Me.
That one little bob of her head and I was up, took her hand and weaved us around the tables and to the back hallway. Never mind what I thought just minutes ago about Melly’s snug pussy and shy smiles. I was leaving Saturday. Not tonight. Not right now. Now? I was going to find out just how snug she was.
I skipped the men’s room and tried the door marked office. Locked, I tried the other side of the hall. Storage room. Unlocked. Why Arlo didn’t lock his shit up, I wasn’t sure, but it was only boxes and cleaning supplies. No liquor to steal.
I found a switch on the wall, flipped it on, then shut the door behind us.
“Daniel, what are you doing?” she asked.
I could have answered and told her that our entire conversation was foreplay. That her talking about her vibrators and the phone call… all of it, biggest fucking turn on. I could have told her how hard I was. I decided to show her instead. I stepped toward her and she retreated. Not in fear, but because I was big and I was getting in her space. Good. The wall was at her back. Resting a forearm on the wall over her head, I leaned down and kissed her. My free hand was on her chin, tipping it up.
This wasn’t a chaste kiss. Fuck no.
It was hard and fervent, open mouthed and dark from the start and smeared her shiny gloss. Fuck, was it scented like… cherries?
