Page 44 of Sweet Temptation (Men of Honor 2)
“Oh it’s goin’ to be delicious. No… it’s gonna be explosive.”
He belts out a loud husky laugh, a contagious one that has me joining in. He throws a big warm arm over me and kisses my head. The simple gesture has warmth spreading through my chest. He stares at me with amusement and affection.
“There’s nothing wrong with me,” I say seriously, but with a smile.
He groans, “Fuck, baby, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you,” he leans in and nuzzles my neck, “you’re fucking perfect, Grace.”
I scoff but his sweet words have my throat feeling tight. Leaning back now he stares at me in question, “Okay, you need to tell me how exactly you have had sex three and a half times. Because, I have to tell you, baby, that number confuses the fuck out of me.”
I roll my eyes, “Because the fourth time we never finished.”
I try to push the memory out of my head; the thought of it has anger bubbling up inside of me.
“Why?” Sawyer asks curiously, but there’s also a hint of anger in his voice. “Wait, does the prick live here? Because if he does maybe you shouldn’t tell me.”
I squint at him confused, “Why would that matter?”
“Because the thought of someone else touching you drives me fucking insane, and if it turns out that you see the son of a bitch often the poor bastard might find himself with some serious injuries.”
“Really? That’s a strange feeling, for the biggest man-whore known to mankind, to have.” Although I’m not going to lie, I kind of like how possessive he feels over me.
“That was my old ways, baby, I’m a new man now.”
I roll my eyes again, shakin’ my head. “Well, for your information, no he doesn’t live here.” Thank god! I clear my throat. “I dated him at the time everything happened. He moved to Charlotte shortly after,” I admit quietly.
“Is he a fucking douche bag? Do I need to go kick his ass?”
I smile, “He’s definitely a douche bag, but no, you don’t need to kick his ass. Long story short, the last time we were together his roommate walked in and tried to join, it was their plan from the beginning.” I shake my head, “I never thought he would do something like that. I thought I could trust him, but turns out I couldn’t. I don’t think I ever knew him.”
That hurt the most. Adam knowing me so well, and knowing everything I was going through with my mom. Knew I hated being with my uncle, yet he still did that to me.
“I think you’re wrong, I think I should kick the fucking loser’s ass.”
I’m about to respond when my phone dings with a text. Leaning over, I grab it off the nightstand and see it’s from Mac.
Mac: Night, darlin’. Just wanted to let you know I’m thinking about you. I’ll see you in the morning.
My heart swells with emotion. Mac has been sending these sweet texts lately; I think the big lug misses seeing me so much around the diner. I send him a quick reply, tellin’ him I love him and I’ll see him in the morning.
“Who was it?” Sawyer asks, being all nosy.
“My boyfriend. He’s comin’ over so you better leave before he gets here.” I try to keep a straight face but I laugh the whole time. Sawyer stares at me unamused. “I’m just teasin’, it was Mac.”
He grunts, “I know you are. You’re a terrible liar, baby.”
Still laughin’, I give him a quick peck on his sexy lips. The small action has fire igniting in his green eyes.
“Why are you still in your clothes and on top of the blankets?”
“It’s for the best right now, trust me.”
Glancing down, I see he still has a giant erection. I lick my lips to wet my sudden dry mouth. He lets out a pained groan and closes his eyes. Bringing my hand to his hard stomach I try putting it under his shirt, but he grabs my wrist so fast it startles me.
“No, Cupcake. If you put your hands anywhere near me right now I will come in my fucking pants.”
I open my mouth to argue but he shakes his head. “I meant what I said, Grace, tonight was just for you.” Bringing me closer, he leans in and kisses my forehead, “Sleep, baby.”
I curl into his hard chest and breathe in his delicious scent, letting peace, safety and another emotion I’m a little scared to name wash over me.
Although I’m relaxed twenty minutes later I find myself still awake, thinking about tonight’s events. Sawyer has been still the whole time. His breathing became deep and even a few minutes ago. I look up to see his eyes closed and his face soft with sleep. Lord, the man is beautiful.
Reaching down, I grab my phone that is between us and send a group text to Kayla and Julia.
Me: Well girls, it finally happened… *blush*
J: OMG! No way! Yay!
K: SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU SLEPT WITH SAWYER?
Me: NO! Uh… he just gave me one… two, actually. ;)
K: WHOO HOO! That-a-boy Sawyer! See, I told you that cocky mouth of his would provide useful. Wait… he used his mouth right?
J: LOL! ?
I snicker quietly.
Me: Yes! *Blushing again*
“Don’t forget to tell them I used my fingers too.”
I yelp and throw my phone across the bed when I realize Sawyer is awake.
“Oh-My-God,” I groan, coverin’ my face. He laughs at my embarrassment. “What the hell are you doin’ awake? I saw you sleepin’!” I mumble into my hands.
Chuckling, he pulls me in close, and shoves his sexy face into my neck. “No, baby, just resting. But I have to say I’m glad I wasn’t. I can’t wait until you tell them about my huge dick when the time comes.”
I groan again which makes him laugh harder. He lies back down on his side and pulls me back against his body. When I curl back in to him, his erection hits my behind and I can’t help the little whimper that escapes. Now it’s his turn to groan: “Stop that shit and sleep!”
