Braden
Controlling my erection with Macy’s gaze on my cock might be my greatest achievement. I have to let her think I’m not desperate to have her. But fuck, the truth is I am. It’s like she’s entered my blood stream, made me addicted to her. I can’t stop thinking about her.
“Could you put some clothes on first?” she mumbles, her cheeks shining bright.
She’s definitely not so cocky now. I like that I fluster her.
“You sure you want me to do that?”
“What does that mean?” she asks.
“The way you keep staring at my dick makes me think you’d rather I stay just like this,” I goad her.
“I just haven’t seen one that … small before,” she says, victory shining in her eyes.
I smirk. She’s got a sharp tongue on her. “That must explain why you’re drooling.”
“I am not. You really need to get over yourself, Braden.”
I step closer to her and she leans back. I, of course, move in closer. I let the tip of my index finger slide along her bottom lip. She jerks her head away like my touch burns. Maybe it does. God knows the heat from her makes me feel like I’m burning alive.
“I guess your lips are just naturally wet then,” I tell her. She narrows her eyes at me and I find myself leaning down over her. “I’d be careful about the looks you give me, Macy. I take them as a challenge, and I’m the kind of man who loves a good challenge,” I warn her.
“It’s not a challenge, Braden, it’s disgust.”
“Are you used to boys instead of men?” I ask her, sounding bored, yet I’m anything but. I feel like my entire body is electrically charged. I haven’t felt this alive in … well, ever. Business has turned me into a man that’s bored and cold most of the time. I sure as hell don’t feel bored right now.
“What are you talking about now?”
“I’m saying I’m a man, and I can tell when a woman’s body is responding to me,” I respond confidently. “You’re turned on right now, and don’t insult us both by denying it.”
I sit down on the bed beside her and it’s all I can do to keep from laughing when Macy grabs a pillow from behind her and slaps it down on my lap.
“I refuse to talk to you with that waving between us,” she mutters.
“If it’s distracting you that much, I could tell you what will make it so it’s not standing at attention.”
“Does this type of approach usually work with the women in your life?”
I smirk. I could tell her that there haven’t been women in my life for a while, but that makes me sound pathetic, when the truth is no one has held my interest … at least until a street urchin with blond hair the color of sunshine tried to pickpocket me. Jesus, maybe I have lost my mind.
“You have no idea,” I tell her, not lying, but leading her to believe she’s just one of many.
“Then no wonder,” she huffs.
“No wonder?”
“It’s no wonder you felt the need to blackmail me for company if the women in your life are all so stupid.”
“You think a woman would have to be stupid to want to fuck me?” I ask, willing her to keep that little smart mouth coming at me. She has no idea who she is dealing with, or the fact that it turns me on.
But she will…
“I didn’t say that, but since you mentioned it…” She shrugs, not finishing.
“You really shouldn’t call yourself names, Macy.”
“I didn’t. What—”
“We both know I can prove easily how much you want me right now.” I lower my gaze to her chest. “If your nipples get any harder, they’re going to rip through that shirt you’re wearing. So, does that mean you think you’re stupid because you’re dying to fuck me?”
“I am not.”
“How wet are you right now, Macy? Why do I get the feeling you’d drench my cock the second I got between your legs?”
She gasps as if stunned I’ve said such a thing. Hell, I’m shocked I’m being this brazen with her.
“Because you’re delusional,” she mutters, refusing to look me in the eyes again. If her face got any redder, she’d glow in the dark.
I want to fuck her, make her admit how much she wants me. Instead, I stand back up and face her, thinking about getting dressed so as not to make her any more uncomfortable. Then again, I like this banter between us.
Soon, however, I won’t let her get away. Soon, I’m going to claim her and put both of us out of our misery.
For now, this is fun.
