Neo fingered his chin as his breath came out in short bursts. Frankie left the room with the men while Neeky eyed him cautiously. Kicking the table in frustration he let out an angry howl.
His footsteps were heavy departing the apartment. Neeky kept close to him, perhaps watching him, or keeping tabs on him as per his uncle’s instructions. When they returned to the residence, he asked to be alone for a minute in order to open his father’s safe. However, as soon as he entered the office Neeky also entered and closed the door behind her. He turned to glare at her.
“I said I wanted to be alone,” he told her, still huffing from his earlier mood.
“You got to lighten up dude,” Neeky remarked.
“Are you serious?” Neo hissed. “My brother is dead, my mother is missing, and probably dead and you want me to lighten up?”
She came close and cupped his face. “I know you’re grieving and that’s a good thing. But you have to relax so that you can put that rage to good use. You can’t let it consume you, otherwise all that we’re doing will all be in vain. Neo, when I say lighten up, I mean, take a mental break sometimes so that you can reevaluate the situation and come back stronger.”
“You remind me of my brother,” he said, his tone softening.
Neeky snatched her hands away. “Dude, really?”
“I mean, he was very smart,” he replied. “You’re one of the smartest women I know.”
“I thought you meant I look like a dude.”
Neo grinned. “Well, you do act like a man sometimes.”
She stepped close to him menacingly, grabbing his throat. “What did you say?”
“I love the way you handle me,” he grinned. “Squeeze me tighter.”
“You little pervert,” she hissed, squeezing his throat and pushing him back against the wall. “You’re enjoying this aren’t you?”
“Can’t you tell?” he cocked a brow. “My dick gets hard just looking at you, imagine how it feels now that we’re this close.”
She released him but he wasn’t satisfied. He grabbed her by the throat and twisted her around until her back hit the wall. He dipped his head and pressed his lips to the soft flesh just below her cheekbone. Giving her a gentle bite, he pushed his pelvis forward until he was pressing into her.
“Let me go, Neo.”
“I know you like me handling you,” he murmured before licking the corner of her lips. “If you wanted me to set you free you would have me on my knees already.”
“I don’t want to hurt you,” she whimpered.
“You keep saying that and yet, I do want you to hurt me.”
She pushed against him, but he didn’t budge. “Aren’t you supposed to be looking for something?”
“Yeah, but I got something right here as well.”
“I told you that nothing can happen between us,” she said. “Now let me go.”
“You never said anything of the sort,” he rebutted. “Moreover, why do your eyes dilate whenever we’re this close?”
“What?”
“Pulse intensifying, the dilation of your eyes and your body heat. Classic signs of arousal.”
While he was speaking his hand wandered over her chest, wedging itself beneath her leather jacket. Tonight, she was wearing brown jacket and denim shorts cut off at the knees, with a dark t-shirt and Timberlands. She had the sexiest outfits.
“Doesn’t mean squat,” she said, giving him a hard push and extricating herself from his grasp. “Now go find that tablet and let’s find your mom.”
“This is a raincheck,” he declared. “I know you want to feel my dick inside you as much as I want to sink it inside your sweet little pussy.”
Without a word she walked out the door and closed it behind her. Neo clucked, realizing that his anger had dissipated to be replaced by a deep desire to win. Every time he was with her, she left him feeling better. He had more energy, was able to focus better and he felt as though he could take on the world.
It’s been only two weeks, but he’d had a crush on her since he was around fourteen years old after one of his brother’s trips to Jamaica. Nino had brought back many photographs and talked nonstop about Antonique and Bryan, the siblings he was best friends with. The way his brother had looked at the photos so lovingly, Neo had assumed that he was in love with the girl.
She was pretty, dark skinned and curvy. One photograph was of them on the beach with Neeky standing in between Nino and Bryan wearing a baby blue bikini. That’s when he started having feelings for her. Especially after hearing the many stories about her. When Nino invited him to come on one trip when he was sixteen, he declined out of the guilt he felt for lusting after his brother’s girlfriend.
Even after Nino’s death, he still felt guilty and hated that seeing her only made those feelings he’d tried to hide resurface. That was why he was cold to her in the beginning. But now that his brother’s sexuality was revealed, he could openly pursue her. Neo was confident that he’d get the girl and this time, she was the one he wanted to keep.
