…”
“I’m sorry,” Tyler said. “I was rude when the phone rang and woke me up. I had no idea what had happened to you.”
“So Tyler was an ass when you called after going through all of that? What the fuck is your problem Ty?”
“Just forget it. I don’t want to think about or talk about this shitty night anymore,” I told him.
“I know something that will take your mind off of everything,” Caleb said, then gave me a soft kiss. Tyler spoke up before I had a chance to respond.
“Caleb, she was just robbed and kidnapped. You trying to fuck her is probably the last thing she wants right now.”
My jaw dropped open at his hateful statement. I thought he'd said it out of jealousy, but either way it was harsh, and he was wrong.
“Actually, Caleb, that’s exactly what I want. I want you to fuck me until I forget everything about this shitty night.”
“Oh hell yes, sweetheart. I’m going to make you come until you forget your own damn name and can only say mine.”
I smiled and kissed him again, leading us into a full blown make-out session in the back of the SUV, our tongues swirling and exploring each other’s mouths. Caleb’s hands crept up my braless shirt.
“I like your pajamas,” he whispered.
“I didn’t exactly plan for anyone to see them.”
“Um-hmm. I’m glad I got to see them, but Lauren, I’m so sorry about all this. You don't deserve this shit. Why don’t you stay with us for now, at least until you can move somewhere else?”
I was shocked by his offer, but I still shook my head. “That’s sweet of you, but I can’t. We just met, and I'm not going to burden you like that.”
“I’m serious. I want you to stay. I’m going to be heading to basic training in a few weeks anyway. You can stay in my room while I’m gone. Keep my bed warm for me.”
“What? Basic training?”
“Yeah, you know I told you I just signed up for the Army Reserves. In two weeks I report for the ten week basic training requirement. I’m not allowed to leave the base during that time, so you can stay in my room.”
“Caleb, I just can’t, and I’m sure Tyler doesn’t want me hanging around your house.”
“Fuck Tyler,” Caleb said dismissively.
“What the hell? I'm sitting right here and can hear you. And if you’d actually asked me, I would’ve said I don’t care if she stays with us. Shit, I prefer that to her going back to that damn apartment in the drug district.”
“Sorry Ty. See, he doesn’t care. Stay with me. I like the idea of coming home to you, and seeing you when I wake up in the morning.”
I kissed him to avoid having to give him an answer tonight. I’d never been offered something so nice from any man, and it made me feel special, actually cared for.
Finally we made it back to their place. Caleb carried me inside again, making me giggle. Tyler mumbled something behind us that sounded like, “She can walk.”
Then Caleb made good on his promise of making me forget everything. Everything except one small thing. The fact that I couldn’t stop thinking about his roommate.
Chapter Nine
Tyler
Damn I’d fucked up tonight with Lauren. She was pissed at me, and understandably so after what I'd said to her on the phone after she’d been robbed and kidnapped. It could have ended a hell of lot worse too, like the tragedy during my sophomore year of college all over again.
The one time in my life I’m not the nice guy and it’s with her, and at the worst possible time. Then Caleb swoops in like her knight in shining armor, taking care of her, offering to let her stay here, promising to screw her into oblivion. I’d never seen him act like this with any other woman. Usually he kicked them out before the sun came up. But Lauren wasn’t any other woman.
Now she might be moving in with us. My life would be a living hell, seeing her every day. I couldn’t stop thinking about her now, even when she wasn't around. Having to hear her fucking him was
