“She’s my girl…”

“I’m not your girl!” Emma cries, and she manages to yank her hand away.

She backs up, and ends up bumping into me. Squeaking, she looks up at me, and her cheeks flush. Damn, she looks beautiful like this, and I can feel her curvy ass against my hip. My cock is not paying attention to the situation and it now pressing against the zipper of my jeans.

Not good.

“Just leave me alone, Rick.” Emma turns back to the guy and shakes her head. “I broke up with you and I told you why. If you can’t take it, that’s not my problem. And following me here is just too fucking creepy. Leave me alone.”

Rick’s eyes narrow.

“You never gave me a reason for breaking up with me, Emma. I want to hear it and I want to change whatever you think happened.”

“I think you’re too thick in the head,” says the other woman, a tall, willowy black woman with tight braids pulled back in a bun. She stands up a little unsteadily. “Now, how about you fuck off before we start kicking up a fuss? I’m sure you don’t want everyone to know how much of a dick you are because you can’t respect a woman.”

Rick growls, and I end up pushing Emma behind me. She gasps and grabs onto my arm, but she doesn’t stop me. Even through the fabric of my shirt, I can feel her touch. Her fingers were so warm and I can feel it spread up my arm. Damn, I’ve never had this reaction to a woman before, and I don’t know what to do about it.

All I know is I want to get her away from this prick.

“Why don’t you lot just fuck off and leave us alone?” Rick demands. “Emma and I can’t talk if you’re around.”

“That’s the point. I don’t want to talk,” Emma says from behind me. “Just go away, Rick.”

“No.”

“Then we’ll leave.” The buxom blonde goes to her friend and puts an arm around her. “You can sit here on your own while we go and actually have some fun.”

“Emma’s not going anywhere.”

“We think she is,” the blonde snaps back.

I hear a heavy sigh and glance back to see Emma shaking her head. She looks fed up with the situation. I wonder if this is a recent breakup and the guy isn’t taking no for an answer. This isn’t really my business, but I can’t bring myself to walk away. Not when a woman is being harassed.

And a beautiful woman, at that.

You need to stop thinking with your dick. It’s going to get you into trouble.

Before the Rick guy can say anything more, I turn away and put an arm around Emma’s shoulders, steering her away from the table. I can hear him shouting after us, but we don’t respond. Emma just leans a little into me, and I see a look of frustration and relief pass across her face. Feeling her fit so nicely against me is more arousing than I thought possible. I didn’t think that something as simple as holding a woman against me in a non-sexual way could be so sexual.

And a stranger, at that.

I didn’t get involved in any tackles during the game, but I feel like I need a concussion check if this woman is making me want to fuck her until she’s screaming my name and we only meet a few seconds ago.

We don’t stop until we get outside the bistro. Her friends are just behind us, the black woman leaning a bit on the blonde girl. I release Emma and turn to her.

“You okay?”

“I think so.” Emma shakes her head. “I can’t believe he followed me all the way out here. He’s insane.”

“You’re only figuring that out now? I presume he’s an ex.”

“A very recent ex. As in a month ago.” Emma frowns. “He’s been pestering me ever since. I didn’t think he would come out here to find me.”

“That’s because he’s a sick bastard,” her blonde friend says bluntly. “He believes that he’s the boss and he doesn’t have to listen to anyone else.”

“And he’s not likely to change because I told him where to go,” Emma mutters. She looks up at me, and the flush on her cheeks goes a little darker. “I’m sorry for that, Mr Barnes. You didn’t need to get involved.”

“I’m not about to stand back and let you three get harassed…” Then I realize what she just said. She called me Mr Barnes. “You know who I am.”
