Page 40 of Fighting Temptation (Men of Honor 1)
She glares fire at the girl’s retreating back, “That girl is a hussy. You should see some of the stockings she wears with her uniform.”
The lady amuses the shit out of me. I look away trying to hide my grin when I see Julia making her way over to us. She’s so fucking beautiful it hurts just to look at her; mainly because I have to force my dick to stay down whenever I’m around her. I can tell by the way she’s walking she’s in pain, but trying to hide it.
I lean over when she sits in the chair next to me, “Are you doing ok? I brought your pain medication in case you needed to take some.”
She shakes her head, “I’m ok, but thank you though.”
Before I have a chance to argue with her she leans over and brings up the present she brought, handing it to Margaret, “Happy Birthday Grams.”
“Julia! I tell you every year not to get me anything.”
Julia rolls her eyes, “And every year I do, so stop your fussin’ and open it.”
Margaret pulls out a big black book from the gift bag. She opens it and gasps, tears immediately starting to form. “Oh Julia, this is so beautiful, thank you!”
“You’re welcome Grams. I’m glad you like it.”
When Margaret finishes leafing through the pages she hands it to me. The book is her life story, filled with pictures of her and her husband, Julia and her mom. I’ve seen pictures of Julia’s mom before and am always taken aback by her beauty. Julia looks so much like her.
Julia takes the book and flips to a page, “That’s my Pappi, right after he got out of the Navy,” she says pointing to a picture of him.
“Wasn’t he handsome?” Margaret asks me. I nod awkwardly because it’s kinda weird for me to agree. Julia chuckles at my discomfort. “The man took my breath away whenever he walked into a room. No matter how long we were together I never got tired of looking at him. I miss him dearly.” Julia leans over grabbing her hand affectionately. “He would have liked you Jaxson. I told you this before and I mean it, you’re a lot like him. I knew the moment I met you, you were right for my Julia.”
Jesus the woman doesn’t hold back anymore does she?
Julia lets out a snort, letting go of her hand, “Give it a rest Grams.”
Before Margaret can say anything else two elderly ladies come up to sit with us. They’re both wearing big smiles while they eye me with curiosity.
“Margaret, who is this boy and where have you been hiding him?”
“This is Julia’s Jaxson,” Margaret replies happily.
“He is not my anything!” I can’t help but chuckle at Julia’s growl. She looks over and glares at me.
“Why not? He’s handsome Julia. You have to hold on tight to men like him,” one says, winking at me.
Ok, that’s a little uncomfortable.
Julia smiles when she notices my discomfort and puts her arm around my shoulder, “Well Gladys, looks like it’s your lucky day, because it just so happens that Jaxson here is single.”
I glare at her, what the hell is she up to?
“Oh really?” Gladys says eyeing me like I’m a fucking treat or something.
“Yup and I promise to bring him here more often for ya. I should bring him on your dance nights, he loves to dance Gladys.”
Oh she’s going to fucking pay for this. She damn well knows I hate to dance. I look over at Margaret hoping she will help me, but she just looks amused as hell.
“You like to dance?” Gladys asks excitedly.
“Uh, actually no.” Her face drops making me feel like a dick. Jesus! I never thought the day would come that I’d have to worry about hurting an old lady’s feelings by shutting her down. “It’s just that I’m not a very good dancer is all.”
Her face lights back up, “Oh honey, don’t you worry. I can dance well enough for the both of us,” she says giving me another wink.
Jesus, is this lady for real?
Julia grabs the side of my face now, “Oh don’t listen to him, Jaxson’s just being modest. Believe me this guy has some killer moves.”
That’s it! I grab the back of her head and kiss the fucking smirk right off her face.
“Atta boy Jaxson,” Margaret cheers.
Julia gasps when my lips land on hers and it makes my dick painfully hard. She’s frozen at first and does nothing to kiss me back. But when I lick her lips she moans and opens for me. I plunge my tongue in her mouth and become intoxicated with her taste.
Fuck me! She tastes even better than I remember.
“Oh my!” someone says at the table, making me remember we aren’t alone. I pull back slowly and stare at Julia’s heavy lidded gaze. Shit! I just meant to press a hard kiss to her mouth, not maul her in front of everyone. Julia’s gaze starts to tighten with anger but it doesn’t hide the need I see in them.
“What the hell are you doing?” she whispers harshly, pushing me away.
“What? I was just demonstrating some of my killer moves you were telling them about.”
Margaret snickers, “Come on you two, food’s ready.” The three of them get up and start making their way to the food table.
“Wow! I gotta tell you, I’d like to see what that guy is packing.”
What the fuck! Did I just hear that right?
“Don’t you ever do that again Jaxson,” Julia says angrily, shoving her finger in my face.
I grab her wrist and pull her to me, “Then next time think twice before you play games with me. When you challenge me like that, Julia, all it does is make my dick hard. I thought you learned that in your room this morning.”
“You are so infuriating,” she glares at me with a mixture of anger and lust.
“Admit it Julia, you liked it and you want more,” I know I shouldn’t push her anymore but I can’t resist.
