I’m in deep shit. As I watch Dani look over her shoulder at me leaving the shower, that’s all I can think. It’s been three weeks. Three weeks since I’ve sunk inside of her. Three weeks since I’ve had a taste of her, and I still want her every fucking minute of every fucking day. She’s changed. We laugh. We play, and even more than all of that—we enjoy being around each other. She cracks me the hell up, she’s like a giant kid sometimes, and I love every fucking minute of it. This morning I have to head out to the club, Dragon wants me and Bull with him when he questions Irish, again. I dread it. I fucking dread it more than anything I’ve ever faced. Still, I know it needs to be done. We need to know everything we can about why Irish betrayed us and who he was working with. That doesn’t mean getting the information is fun. Dani and I talked about it last night. She knows I’m dreading today, and though she may not agree with what I or the club is doing, at least she seems to accept it more. Her way of showing her support is surprising me in the shower and begging me to fuck her. Color me happy. She’s got me sewn up, and she doesn’t even know it. She still has it in her head we’re just using each other for sex. Fuck buddies. The woman is clueless. She’s not getting away from me—not now. As she gives me that sweet smile over her shoulder and steps out of the shower, I realize I’m going to have to move this up a little. I can’t have her thinking she is free to find another man’s cock. Oh-hell-no. I’d kill the mother fucker. I can’t ask for all of it at once. She’d run and run fast. Still, I need her to give me something more… It’s stupid. I should be patient. I’m not, never have been, and with Dani, I’m finding those words even truer.

I turn the shower off and grab a towel. I dry quickly, throwing the towel on the floor, following her into the bedroom. When I get there, she’s searching in the dresser for clothes. I come up behind her, pulling her towel off, and throwing it on the ground. Skin against skin…better, Dani’s skin against mine. Heaven.

She tenses up at first, but then relaxes back into my arms. She gives off a happy sigh when my hands cup her breasts, and I start kissing on her neck. My dick, which had just fucked her into oblivion, is already stirring in interest. Yeah, I’m in deep shit.

“I told you I don’t like it when you sneak up on me, Cowboy.”

“Seeing you bent over like that, I lost my mind,” I respond, my fingers plucking at her nipples, smiling at the way they harden and stand at attention with just my first touch.

“Zander, there’s no way you can be horny again so soon. You just wore me out in the shower,” she says, her voice taking on that husky, needy tone that makes my cock ache.

I take hold of my cock, rubbing it against her ass, and letting it slide in the cleft of her ass, the head teasing her opening. Someday. She pushes back against my cock and my balls tighten. Someday soon.

“I wore you out, sweetheart?” I ask, making sure. I continue worrying one of her nipples while playing with her ass too.

“Yes…”

She gasps as I push just a little harder against her ass. Shit, why didn’t I put some lube in that drawer when I stocked it with condoms. I’ll make sure I take care of that today.

“Well if you’re so tired… you could suck on my cock.

Her body tenses and she pulls away. “We should get going. You have to be at the club, and I need to check in at work and see when they’re putting me back on rotation.”

“Whoa, Hellcat, I think I liked where we were headed before better. We got time.”

“I got stuff I need to get done,” she says, not looking at me, and getting dressed. Damn, I guess playtime is over.

“Okay sweetheart, fine. We’ll pick this up later.” I cave, slapping her ass just as she pulls up these pale pink panties that don’t do a damn thing to make my cock deflate. “Why don’t you meet me at the club later, tonight? Freak is claiming Nikki as his old lady. There’s a big party planned. We’ll eat and visit a bit, before coming back here.”

She finishes buttoning up her jeans, turns to look at me, and I can tell by the look on her face, I’m not going to like what she says next.

“I don’t want to come by the club, I told you. I don’t belong there.”

Yeah, I was right, I don’t like it.

“You sure as hell do,” I argue, ready to have it out, because it’s time we clear this shit up.

She’s running a brush through her hair, and her eyes seek out mine through the mirror.

“Zander, the men there hate me, and I just don’t belong with…”

“The fuck you don’t. You’re my woman, and the men will get over it. They just don’t know you.”

“Your woman?”

“We’ve been fucking like bunnies, and I’ve been in your bed every night for a month. I don’t see how that could have escaped your notice, Hellcat,” I grumble, getting pissed off now. I grab my jeans and pull them on. If I’m going to fight, I’ll be damned if I’m doing it with my dick swinging in the cold.

“We made a deal…”

“What does that mean?” I have to ask, because honestly, I am at a complete loss. The damn woman has given me whiplash here.

“That means when we made this bargain, we agreed it wasn’t serious. It is just sex.”

“I think it’s pretty clear we’ve gone beyond that Hellcat, and I’m doing my best to take us to the…”

“I don’t especially like where you’re leading,” Dani says and starts putting on that damn red lipstick.

My cock pushes against the zipper of my jeans, at the thought of her sucking me, and leaving a ring of lipstick behind. Jesus. I shake my head to clear it. I lean down and kiss the top of her head and breathe her in. My hand caresses her skin, and I stare at her in the mirror.

“Sweetheart, I know you have issues about the club, I’m not pushing you on them. I just want you to think about meeting me. I want to show you off,” I whisper, trying another tact.

Her hand comes up and grazes my five o’clock shadow and she quietly sighs.

“This is more than just a bargain over my dick, Dani. Give me that if nothing else.”

Her eyes stay on mine in the mirror. “It is.”

Two small words and they literally rock my world. I wanted them, I just wasn’t sure she’d give them.

“So, you will think about it, yeah?”

She nods, a small half nod. It’s something.

“How about I let you selfishly use my cock again before we head out.”

“Do you take Viagra?”

I am busy pulling her back to the bed when her words make me do a double take.

“What in the hell are you talking about? Junior here doesn’t need anything but you to be ready to party.”

“Junior?”

“My dick? My hammer, my sword, my bologna pony, my one-eyed snake, my anaconda, my anal-impaler…”

“Anal-impaler?”

“Oh yeah, Hellcat, don’t worry. I’ll show you that side of him later on. Tonight, in fact, I’m more than willing.”

She shakes her head, but she’s laughing.

“I think it’d be better for your rep if you try not to refer to your cock as junior.”

“You think?”

“It’s short changing the little guy.”

“Little? Ouch that hurts, Hellcat,” I tell her, picking her up and throwing her on the bed in retaliation. She squeals out as she sails the small distance and flops on the mattress.

“Maybe I’m mistaken. I mean it’s been a whole twenty minutes. Perhaps, I’ve forgotten his mighty, ferocious proportions,” she says giggling.

I stand at the foot of the bed, watching her laugh, and that feeling of being where I belong hits me again.

“Well then, unbutton those pants and prepare to be amazed.” I grin.

She does as I ask, and her eyes take on that glazed, aroused look I’ve come to recognize and love. I shed my own clothes. Once I’m naked, she starts pushing her pants down, and I immediately help her, praying she’s already wet, because I can’t wait to get back inside of her. Relief hits me when I find her soaked and more than ready for my dick. I lay on my back, pull her on top of me, holding her until she guides me inside. I’ve noticed this is her favorite position, and I’m all about pleasing my woman. She slides down on my cock, and I watch her face, hypnotized by the pleasure that reflects back at me.

“Zander,” she moans, as my cock stretches her.

“Yeah, Hellcat?” I ask, grabbing her hips, and helping her to grind against me, once I sink all the way in.

“I was completely wrong. I’m overwhelmed by the size and girth of Junior.”

I grin. “Damn straight. Now show him how sorry you are for underestimating his awesomeness.”

“I’ll see what I can do.”

Then she picks up the speed of her ride, and I can do nothing but lose myself a little more.

I’m in deep shit.
