“My turn.” I snatch the bag of nuggets from her. “Do you miss being a nun?”
“Wow, just going to dive right in there, aren’t you?” She giggles lightly before looking out to the city. “Um, no. Though, I’m not a nun, nor do I practice the Catholic faith anymore. I’m still a strong believer in ‘everything happens for a reason’, so I think whatever it is that’s going on, which I have no idea…” She shakes her head, her eyes dropping to the ground. “Whatever it is, it’s supposed to happen.”
“Eye-opening,” I mock her.
She shoves me in the arm. “Hey! Be nice!”
I laugh, handing her the nuggets.
“Okay, my turn.” She leans against the hood of the car. “Are you going to let me go?”
“No,” I answer quickly. Her eyes snap to me, meeting my already smirking face. “I’m joking.” Her face falls into a smile. “Yes, I will. In good time.”
“Okay, your turn.”
My arm reaches out to her and I snake it around her tiny waist, pulling her under my arm. Bringing my lips to her head, I ask, “Do you really find Miles that attractive?”
She laughs, keeping her eyes locked on the scenery. “Yes, he’s hot.” My arm tenses around her and she sighs. “But not as much as I make it out to be.” I loosen. “I’ve found myself attached to him in a sense, though. The man is crazy, which brings me to my next question: What does Miles do?”
I chuckle. “What do you think he does?”
“I don’t know. I can’t work it out. He reminds me of a modern day Jekyll & Hyde.”
She couldn’t have been more accurate. “You could say that. Miles is my right hand man. He’d gut someone from the inside out without so much as dropping a smudge of blood on his glasses or his thousand-dollar suit.” I grin, looking out to the city—my city. “He’s the only person I trust completely.”
“Do I sense a romance here? Romeo & Roberto?”
I look down at her, her fits of laughter eating up the silence of the night. I think about interrupting her to correct her, but her laughter is too cute to stop, even if it is at the expense of me.
She continues laughing. “‘For never was a story of more woe, than this of Romeo and his Roberto.’”
I laugh out loud at that revised quote from Romeo & Juliet. Turning her body towards me, I pull her into my chest and swipe away some of the loose strands of her hair. “That’s going in the spank bank.”
“What? Why?” She laughs again, her palm pressing against my chest so she can tilt her head up to look at me.
“Don’t act like you don’t like it.” I bend down and run my lips over her ear. “I can still feel how wet you were for me after I made your ass red.”
She smiles against my cheek. “Maybe.”
“For the record, though, I’m not into cock. I love pussy.”
She smiles. “I get that. Does Miles have a boyfriend?”
I relax my arms around her waist, my hands dropping down to her ass and she rests her head on my chest. “He has a situation, that’s what Miles has.”
“What, like he has two boyfriends?” She chuckles, turning around in my arms so her back is to my front and we’re both looking out to the city.
I laugh. “More like a boyfriend and a girlfriend.”
“Sheesh. Should I feel weird that I slept with him? I mean, I feel nothing.”
“No. You won’t feel anything—yet.”
“Mile’s told me about that,” she whispers softly. “About how one day it’s all going to come rushing back to me and everything I ever did could swallow me alive.” She shakes her head. “I don’t know. Right now, I couldn’t care. I’m alone, anyway. My mind is an asylum filled with empty senses and loud, echoing screams. Senses I want to touch… I can see, they’re there, right on the tip of my fingers, but I don’t have enough push to fully grasp onto them.” She pauses. I stay quiet, wanting her to continue. “Like sex. Imagine you’re there, you want to come, you can feel how you’re about to come, but you can’t. It’s frustrating.”
I smile, my palm sprawling out over her stomach. “Kind of like sex with Miles then, huh?”
She laughs, shoving me and walking out of my embrace, instantly leaving an empty gust of wind in her departure. What. The. Fuck. That’s never happened before, but I’m not stupid; I know that a lot of feelings that have risen when it comes to Millie I have never felt before. I’m a selfish man. I take what I want, and right now, what I want is her.
