sorry. I thought you were one of the guys that won’t leave me alone.”
“Who won’t leave you alone?” Shorty turns his ‘guard dog’ switch on.
“I can take care of myself.” I’m confident with my defense skills. My dad has taught me well.
Shorty laughs. “I can see that. You’re dad is the fighter, right?”
Letting my guard down, I giggle. “Yeah.”
“Remind me never to fuck with you.”
“She’s not the one you need to worry about.” Maria wraps her arms around her man. Shorty immediately turns to putty and the assault is easily forgotten.
Behind Shorty, I see him. I can’t help but stare. He’s beautiful. His ink black hair falls toward his forehead complimenting his honey-colored, brown eyes. The black stubble outlines his square jawline. His pouty, cherry colored lips frown at me. I notice a sleeve of tattoos peeking out from his black t-shirt.
I feel like I’ve been sprinkled with fairy dust. My thoughts are no longer my own. The reaction my body is having is so foreign to me. My tongue is dancing in my mouth, wanting to connect with his. I feel warm all over. I want to touch him.
Our eyes meet and linger on each other for a second. Darkness fills his eyes and the connection is lost. My ears don’t seem to work because I faintly hear Maria introduce me to this god in front of me. Apparently, I’ve lost all of my speaking skills too because I can’t get any of my words out.
Maria taps my arm to get my attention. “Reece, you okay? I want you to meet Caydon.”
Caydon.
CHAPTER SEVEN
* * *
Caydon
Reece . Her name is Reece. She looks like an angel but we all know that what is disguised as good is truly evil. And… apparently mute. The fact that she fails to acknowledge me pisses me off. In fact, her whole presence angers me. I can’t pinpoint why, but I can feel the rage rising in my body.
I know the type. I assume I’m not worth talking to. My appearance must overwhelm her. Well, fuck her.
“Are you fucking mute?” I can’t help myself. Hannah put me in a foul mood. I’m hateful toward any hot piece of ass. Although, this yummy goddess doesn’t have the typical ‘fuck me’ look, I still take my wrath out on her. It also doesn’t help that I had a few shots of Crown Royal before I got here.
“Caydon, stop it,” Maria defends her cousin.
I give Maria a cocky smile. “What? You introduced us, like, ten minutes ago.” I’m exaggerating. “She still hasn’t fucking answered. What’s the matter, sweetheart, never seen a guy with tats all over him?” I get extremely close to her. Reece doesn’t move.
My mouth is less than an inch from her ear. I know she can feel my breath against the skin of her neck. I feel her shiver. I let the whiskey speak for me. “Do you like what you see?”
There’s a huge hand on my neck pulling me back. “I’m going to get this fucker a drink. Sorry, Reece.”
I’m led away from Reece and her cousin. There is a little resistance on my end, but not too much. I throw my head over my shoulder and give a smug grin to Reece as I walk away. The girl is still standing with her mouth hanging open. Snob.
I guess I should feel bad. Reece isn’t the cause of my girl issues. Hannah is. But she isn’t here to take my abuse. Reece will do. A girl like Reece will use her beauty to wreck guys like me.
Why the fuck should I care anyway? I doubt I will see Reece again. But it’s either my dick or the whiskey telling me I want to.
I’ve never cheated on Hannah. I love the girl. At least, I think I love her. The thought of fucking another girl always repulsed me…until I saw Reece. My cock became instantly hard once I laid eyes on her. I honestly think my sex drought is getting to me.
I’m fantasizing about Reece bobbing up and down on my lap when Shorty smacks me on the back of my head.
“What the fuck?” I yelp.
“Don’t ‘what the fuck’ me. I know you got Hannah on the brain but Reece is Maria’s family. Have a little
