that speaker, I almost blew my load right there in my jeans.
Fingering those strings and watching her ride that speaker like it was a vibrating cock was the highlight of my life. No porn would ever compare. Snowflake was by far the sexiest creature to ever walk the earth.
She held my hand and smiled sleepily over at me as I drove to the closest fast food anything and then took her back to my place.
The guys were already there. Two girls I’d never seen before were sitting on the kitchen counter, tossing cheese balls at Chet as he tried to catch them in his mouth. Both girls smiled seductively at me when I walked in, and I felt Snowflake’s hand tighten in mine.
I nodded at everyone and pulled her through the kitchen and straight to my room.
“Ah, look! The sweet couple is going to hide in their room. I never thought I’d see the day when ol’ Zeke was tamed,” Chet yelled across the kitchen with a laugh.
I didn’t even respond. Instead, I flipped him off as I pulled Patience through the sleek condo. It was unlike anything I’d ever lived in before. When the record company had promised us a place, I wasn’t expecting anything so rich.
Once in my room, I set our bags of food on my dresser and turned to face Patience. She stood there with a lost look on her face while she wrung her hands and took in the room.
“You okay?” I asked.
I didn’t like to see her so vulnerable. She’d grown from the girl she used to be, and I wanted her to stay in control and better.
“Yeah. I’d just really like a shower. Can you help me bring in my bags?”
I went up to her and put my arms around her middle. She fit perfectly as usual. Kissing the top of her head, I ran my hands down her chilly arms.
“You sit and eat. I’ll go get everything.” I turned to leave the room.
“But I can help,” she called out.
“Sit. Eat.” I shut the door behind me.
When I got back in my room, I dropped all her luggage in front of my closet. The food hadn’t been touched and Patience was nowhere to be found. I heard the shower water turn on in my bathroom and thought I’d crack the door open and get a little show.
I crept up to the bathroom door and grabbed the knob. It wasn’t locked, so I turned it and pushed the door open a little. I looked around the bathroom and through the glass shower, but she was nowhere to be seen. Then my eyes skimmed the floor and that’s when I found her.
She was huddled up beside the bathroom counter with her knees pulled up to her chin. She was without a drop of color; even her trembling lips were white. Her eyes were closed and her entire body shook violently.
I pushed the door open and dropped to my knees in front of her.
“Snowflake?” I plunged my hands into her hair and brought her face up to mine. “Baby, are you okay?”
I was starting to freak out. She looked similar to how I’d found her the very first time I ever saw her sweet face. Except this time, she looked even closer to death.
Sweat poured down her face and when she open her eyes to look at me, tears drained from them and slid down her pale face. I jumped up and ran to my cell phone on the dresser. When I got back to the bathroom, I dropped down to my knees again and started to dial 9-1-1.
I was about to press send when she placed a shaky hand over mind.
“Don’t,” she said softly.
I held my phone there, ready to call.
“Let me call the ambulance. You need to go to the hospital, baby.”
Fear. I’d known this fear with her before. The thought of something happening to her made me crazy. It made me lash out at anyone and anything close to me.
Her grip tightened on my hand and she attempted to smile at me. The side of her pasty lips lifted into a weak smirk.
“I’m f-fine. I p-promise,” she stuttered.
When she fell into my lap and wrapped her arms around me, I didn’t stop her. I laid my phone on the bathroom counter and held her in my arms as the bathroom fogged up from the hot shower.
