muttered.
“Hey, are you trying to get me bent over the chair? If you want to call off the bet, just say so, and we can start fucking like bunnies.”
He grunted and moved back. Temptation reared its ugly head, but he pushed it down with willpower. “No, not gonna let you get out that easily.” He made his way around the table and sat across from her. For a moment, he contemplated telling her what he’d heard on his way to get a midnight snack.
“Of course you wouldn’t, and I wouldn’t let you unless you declare me the victor.” She grinned and placed her napkin on her lap.
He decided to just tell her and get it out of the way, even though he hadn’t stayed long enough to hear anything except his name. “Look, don’t freak out, but I heard you, um, masturbating last night.” He held up his hands. “Not the whole thing, just long enough to hear you murmur my name and that’s it.”
She raised an eyebrow. “So what? The bet is off? I’m disqualified, or is that why you decided on the clean-a-thon last night?”
Need to be careful with this part . “Um, no. I just ate a box of cookies and surfed the Web.”
“So you had to vacuum up the evidence, huh? I see. You owe me.” She tossed her head. “You owe me.”
“That’s it?” He’d expected her to try and take it out of his hide. “And you’re not mad about the cookies?”
“Well, if there’s no sex, what the hell was I supposed to do? Just be horny? No, don’t think so. I’m a grown woman, and I enjoy sex. You know that. Not going to punish you since you didn’t stay and listen or jerk off while I was in there all alone without you. But you will be punished for the cookies. They are part of the reward, Alexi. At least one of us is behaving.” She snorted and dug into her meal.
They fell into quiet, him wondering what she was plotting. Every glance he threw her way told him nothing. She had put on what he called her “lawyer face.” A sinking sensation filled his stomach. Great. She’s probably gonna make me eat something disgusting, like one of those protein shakes she swears is delicious despite the faces she pulls while downing them . He slumped in his seat. At least my erection has deflated . With that thought, the little fucker twitched. Shit.
“I’ve decided that instead of punishing you, we’ll just up the ante. I’ve been playing it safe and flirty, but now all bets are off, mister. And just to really stir the shit, I’m throwing in a blowjob if you win, and if I win, you have to act out any fantasy I want.”
He studied her face. Every line and curve of her features had hardened, and there was a steely glint in her eyes.
“You’re serious?” He ruminated over the new prizes. “So the BJ would be separate?”
She nodded. “By itself, yes.”
He noted that she didn’t specify time and place. “Anywhere or you decide?” He didn’t care who got the say about when and where. He just felt honored she’d want to do that for him.
“You get to call the shots on that so long as it’s not in public and it won’t ruin my reputation—not that you’d do that,” she added.
“How about I throw in eating you out anytime anyplace you decide? Fair is fair, Ti.” He wanted to show her that they were equal in all things, sexual acts included.
She gifted him with a winning smile that made his stomach flip. “Deal. You drive a hard bargain, Kurraine. And thanks.”
He shrugged.
“You do realize that this is going to heat things up, right?”
He swallowed and nodded. “Yeah.”
“You didn’t think of that, did you?”
He shook his head. I’m fucked . Tianna fought dirty when it was something she really wanted, and he could only imagine what he was in store for.
“Let the games begin.” She went back to eating.
What the hell did I just do?
