She blushes behind the cup when I can’t take my eyes off of her.
It’s hard enough meeting women. Even harder finding one I believe I can trust. Sherri fucking wrecked me. Maybe it’s because she’s been the victim of betrayal by someone she trusted. Maybe it’s because she’s determined to take care of herself. Or maybe it’s because she already proved she trusts me, to protect her from men most people would sell her out to in a heartbeat to protect themselves. I can’t explain why I believe that, after only a few days on the bus and a few hours talking to her, I can trust Candace but I do. And I want to help her. I’m just not sure if that’s a door I’m ready to open.
If I do, Candace won't be the only one I'll have to open up to. The Kings will wonder where she got the money, if not from them, and most likely not leave her alone until they find out it was me and try to take advantage.
I might be able to trust Candace but I most certainly can't trust the people around her.
Before I help her, I have to figure out a way to solve this problem without causing another.
“How much do you owe?” I ask, curious just how deep the shit is that she’s in. How worried should I be?
“Let’s just say, I’d rather buy a new car instead.”
Shit.
“I’m going to assume your payments aren’t light or going to a reputable bank.” Which means she’s not going to have five or more years to pay it off.
“I got lucky. Eddie took pity on me when my boyfriend died and left me holding the bag. I have to make a good faith payment every month and get the balance paid off before the end of the year.”
“That’s less than four months.”
“Better than the thirty days he gives everyone else.”
Help her,a voice in the back of my brain screams and echoes between my ears as we finish our coffee.
“Candace—,” I start but she stops me stretching her arms over her head as she yawns. Her back arches and her tits stretch the front of my shirt showing off the tiny points of her nipples underneath.
My eyes flit to her lap where the hem of the shirt rides up her thighs but not far enough and my dick throws a fit getting so hard it might actually burst through the zipper.
I have to be very careful here. Not to cross a line or blur the one between my desire and want to help her. Not let that help, if I offer it, make her feel like she owes me a different kind of debt.
It’s not easy. I haven’t stopped fantasizing about her since she stepped on the bus three days ago. Now that I’ve had a taste of her sweet lips, I want more.
But I can’t have both. I can’t help her and fuck her. It has to be one or the other so she doesn’t feel obligated to be with me. So she won’t ever think that I’m holding it over her head the way the Kings would.
“I’m beat. I have a shift at Penny’s tomorrow afternoon. Then it’s back to the Mink.” Candace stands and I think I’ve talked myself into letting her go but then I find my hand holding hers and those bright blue eyes staring down at me.
“Liam?”
“I want to help you,” I say.
Candace turns and stands with her bare legs between my knees. She bends and takes my other hand. “You have. Getting a peaceful night's sleep is a Godsend. I might actually be able to get through an entire shift at Penny’s without biting some little brat’s head off.” She chuckles then sighs heavily.
The sigh breaks my heart and the gently bounce of her tits under her shirt when she chuckles makes me forget I wasn't going to tell her… “I have money. I—.”
“No. I refuse to let someone else go into debt to pay off mine.”
“Even if I never see you again, I'd be happy just knowing you're safe. It will kill me, every day, thinking about the horrible things those assholes are making you do. What you might have to do to get the money in time knowing you didn’t have to. If you let me help you…”
Candace sways nervously biting her bottom lip with her eyes locked on mine. Then, something flashes across those blue oceans and time stops for a second before she leans forward, bending a leg on either side of mine to straddle my lap.
“You’re sweet,” she says cupping my face in her hands. “But I need to take care of myself, Liam.”
My dick twitches and grows hard under her heat.
Candace moans, pressing and rolling her hips against my lap. “Mm… Did you mean it?” She asks.
“Mean what?” I ask, barely able to breathe as she rolls against me again. Groaning as my ass tenses and I thrust forward to meet her. Sense and logic is gone as all available blood and brainpower is redirected to my dick.
