Chapter 21
Rex
I dropped her off and made my way back to the city with a whole lot on my mind. It was like I was living in a fairytale. Sherry was everything that I was looking for and she had one hell of a sex drive. I was completely depleted of all fluids, so much so that even my tongue felt dry in my mouth.
I stopped and got something to alleviate that and I passed all of the places that we had stopped on the trip. We almost got caught twice, but it bothered me more than it bothered her. She was content to tease and play, begging for us to get seen. There was a sort of thrill that she got out of it and it was hard not to feel the same way about it when I could feel the energy vibe off of her.
“Fuck, that little bitch won’t get out of my mind.”
My words were hollow in the empty car and I knew that there was a part of me that wanted to turn around and go back to her. She was all I could think about and even though I didn’t even know if I could conjure up another hard-on, I knew that I would try if it gave me another few minutes with Sherry.
When I got back home, it was getting late because I didn’t take the most direct route and the house was already filling up with people. I had forgotten all about the damn party we were supposed to be throwing. There were a lot of new faces at the club since we had expanded and Charlie had it in his head that we should get to know everyone. I didn’t find this the best idea, but no one ever listened to me. In this business, I thought it was best not to get into their personal lives.
Now I was wishing that I didn’t live here at all. I was beat and the last thing that I wanted to do was mingle with some people that I had to see every day as it was. I wanted to be back in Hartford with Sherry. Wrong or not, that is where I wanted to be.
The first person that stopped me when I got in was Ruby and I took that as a foreboding sign for the rest of the party. I didn’t want to see her because of our last encounter and how upset she had gotten when I had told her no. I didn’t want her anymore and even with the little games we played, she didn’t want to end it. I should have known better than to have sex with her more than a couple of times. Now she had feelings, I could see it in her eyes and I didn’t have the same ones back. She was hot and kinky, but she wasn’t the girl that I was looking for. She wasn’t Sherry.
“Hey Rex. I was wondering when you were going to come home.”
“Had a long trip. I just got back. I forgot about the party, but it seems to be going quite well without me.”
“It’s never a party without you Rex. I am glad to see that you finally made it back. I didn’t know who I was going to talk to.”
We had never done much talking, but I wasn’t going to bring that up. It seemed crass to mention that all we ever did was bang it out. I stopped. Now Sherry had me saying bang…great.
“Rex, took you long enough. Must have hit a hell of a lot of traffic.”
Charlie walked up and saved me from talking to Ruby. “Yeah, it was something like that. I stopped and got something to eat on the way back. I get sick of driving sometimes.”
“Well as long as Sherry is safe back at home in Hartford and not here getting into everything. She learned way too much on her last trip.”
“You know she got a job at the aquarium, right? Starts in a week.”
His face fell and I chuckled. It just made the scowl even more pronounced and clear.
“Why didn’t she tell me that?”
“Because you have been avoiding her or barking at her. Ernest took her around looking for apartments yesterday. I showed her what areas weren’t too bad and the rent wasn’t too high. I thought you knew that she was coming here for a job?”
Charlie hadn’t known and I hated to be the one to tell him. “Don’t worry about it. It looks like your party is on fire. All of these people here, why worry about it now?”
Charlie was always one to get caught up in problems, but he finally smiled at told me that I was right. He would have plenty of time to worry about it all much later.
“You’re right Rex. I can figure it out tomorrow. Tonight there is far too many beautiful women around me to be upset.”
He looked at Ruby when he said it and she looked down shyly. I shrugged to myself with the proposition of the two of them. At least if they hooked up, she would be off of my back if that happened. He asked her to dance and she glanced back at me meaningfully. She was trying to make me jealous and I was only going to feel relief. Hopefully Charlie would be able to deal with her crazy ass a lot better than I had managed to.
