Pretty Bitches (33 page)

I shook my head several times trying to dispel the confusion lurking around. After several minutes I finally sobered enough to ask, “Ok, tell me what the holy fuck is going on with you two?”

Alick snickered as he lowered his head to the floor.

I snorted. “Lila Grant, I’ve known you most of my life. Don’t try that shit with me.” I looked at her seriously. “What is going on here, Lila. I’m not going to let you hurt Alick like you do the countless others. This is my life now and you have to respect that.”

She blinked several times and her eyes widened. “I swear, Em that’s not what I’m doing. Really.” She sputtered.

I shook my head and narrowed my eyes. “Good because we would have a problem.”

She smiled. “Well then, there will be no problem, capiche?”

I sighed. “Whatever.” I looked over at Cailen and he had a grin dancing on his lips. “Feed me, I’m starved.”

“Well, we can’t have you starved, love. Give me a minute to grab our drinks and I will get you back to bed and properly feed you.” He said prowling.

“One day you’re going to wear that cock out and then what am I going to do with you? Play quarters and be turned into a permanent entrée?”

He blinked twice then burst out laughing. I grabbed his hand and nodded to Alick and Lila who fell into step behind us grinning.

Cailen surprised me by loading us into his private car a Porsche Panamera. It purred to life and the ride was like silk when we hit the highway. He glanced at me several times across the bright blue illuminated console.

I just smiled and rested my hand on his hard thigh, thinking about how those said thighs had ramrodded me into the wall earlier. I reached over and adjusted the A/C because it was hot as hell in that car.

We pulled in front of the restaurant and handed the keys to the valet. Cailen took my hand and led us into the dark wooden doors.

There were tables positioned behind tall partitions of wood and mirrors tangling around the room. Each one offering a semi private experience giving you back the scene with mirrors surrounding your table. It was very beautiful and strangely erotic.

I smiled because then I knew why he loved this place. “Given our track record at restaurants this could be dangerous.”

He grinned. “Oh, I have plans, love.” He cooed.

I shook my head. “I’m not into having an audience there tiger so just pipe down and enjoy the meal.”

He pouted. “Oh love, don’t crush my dream.”

“Too late, crushed and buried in the back yard. Sorry.”

“Well now I’m grumpy.” He said looking sad at the scene.

I laughed. “You are pitiful.”

The hostess greeted us and pulled four menus gesturing to our table. We followed and I felt Cailen’s hand inching low on my ass and tracing the hem of my short skirt.

“Behave.” I said.

I heard him growl in my ear as he brushed his cock against my back before he pulled out my chair. Lila sat beside me and I welcomed the distraction. Jesus, I was becoming a sex crazed lunatic.

The waiter appeared and took our drink orders. Cailen and Alick were talking about our upcoming Prague trip and I turned to Lila.

“Ok, fucking spill it. What the hell is going on with you?” I asked gesturing to her dress and then to Alick.

Her smile turned wicked. “You know I don’t discuss feelings, Em.”

I punched her in the arm, hard. She gave me a murderous look and rubbed the area. “You are completely out of character. You don’t date, hell you don’t do anything with a man outside of a bedroom. We both know that. And here you are having dinner on a double date. Color me utterly fucking confused.”

She rolled her eyes and stared at the candle in the middle of the table. “I don’t know.” Her voice grew quiet as she peeked at Alick. “He just makes me feel things,” she gestured to her heart. “In here and it scared the shit out of me at first but then it felt so fucking good I couldn’t stay away from him. He’s not like anyone I’ve ever met. He’s sweet and understanding and talented and holy shit he is the best lay I‘ve ever had.”

My eyes popped. “You had SEX with him?” I hissed.

She rolled her eyes sarcastically. “Well of course dumbass. What the hell do you think we were doing all week alone discussing the upcoming election?”

“Lila, you better be careful and I mean it. He lost his wife five years ago and he is just now getting back to life. He doesn’t need his first screw to be with a heartbreaker. Really!” I said through gritted teeth.

Her eyes fell. “I know what he has been through, Em. He told me everything. It’s what drew me to him. I liked what I saw. Now where it’s going I couldn’t tell you but for now I’m happy.”

I narrowed my eyes. “You better be nice.” I said but my irritation had faded and was replaced with happy thoughts. Lila was falling for a guy and I’d never seen her so open and honest.

The waiter appeared with our drinks and asked for our order. I deferred to the men.

Alick spoke up. “Let’s start with a couple of the Balvicar Mussels and the Smoked Salmon Roulade.”

The waiter nodded and disappeared around the corner. I glanced over at Cailen and he was staring at me with hooded eyes. My brows furrowed and then I realized he had been catching a glimpse up my skirt in the mirror while I was talking with Lila.

Cheater.

Fine. Two could play at that game. I picked up my drink and purposefully uncrossed my legs leaning into the mirror and slowly crossed them in the other direction. I watched his eyes pop in the mirror and I smirked then casually started a conversation with Lila while I stretched my hand under the tiny table and landed on his cock.

He jumped slightly and growled then tried to clear his throat to cover. A giggle slipped through my lips and I answered, “Mmm hmm, oh yep. Right. Mm hmm.” At all the right times during her conversation while I ran my hand purposefully up and down his length. His legs tensed and I watched in the mirror as he picked up his drink, shaking and flushing.

I felt him getting harder and I pressed my palm around his cock and stroked several times slightly pinching the tip. I peered at him through the mirror and the burn in his eyes was now affecting me. I could feel myself burning between my legs.

I pulled my hand back and looked over. “Excuse me girl, I need to hit the ladies room.” She rolled her eyes hating to be cut off mid-sentence and I turned to Cailen. “Could you show me where the restroom is, sweetheart?”

He was trying to gather himself and simply nodded standing from the chair. He reached for my hand and guided me through the restaurant. When we reached the restroom I stole a glance over each shoulder and pulled him inside. I locked the door and checked under each stall to make sure we were alone then I turned for him desire baking my body and crashed into him pulling at his belt and yanking his zipper.

He lifted me off the floor and sat me on the counter pulling my panties down and running his fingers all over me.

I couldn’t stand it another second. “Get inside me. Now.” I panted.

He grabbed his cock and rocked into me moaning against my neck. “Fuck I just came.” He panted. “God Gemma you drive me fucking crazy.” He said rocking me against the mirror. He ran his hand between my legs as he thrust into me and circled me until I gasped and shattered around him.

We leaned against each other for several minutes. He pulled back and cupped my face. “The only thing that makes this better is that I get to call you
mine
.”

“All yours sweetheart. All yours.” I cooed completely contented.

He reached for my panties and hooked them around my ankles and slowly pulled them up following the progress with his eyes. When he got them all the way up he ran a finger across me causing me to gasp. “She’s mine, too.” He grinned wickedly planting a hard kiss to my mouth.

“No question. Besides already being a package deal she’s addicted to you.”

He laughed and pulled me toward the door. I unlocked it and eased my head out checking the hallway then pulling him in behind me. We giggled the entire way back to the table. As we rounded the corner I saw Alick standing tall amidst four huge men. As we got closer his head came into view and I gasped. Graham.

Cailen let go of my hand and stepped in front of me as we rushed to the table. He held his arm in front of me. “What the fuck are you doing here?” He hissed.

Graham’s smile widened. “How rude, Cailen. Aren’t you going to introduce me to your beautiful wife? I can’t believe you didn’t invite me to the ceremony. I’m hurt.” He said peering around to look at me.

Cailen stiffened. “If you get any closer I swear to God I’ll rip your fucking throat out. And you know I can.” His voice made chills run through my veins.

Graham folded his arms over his chest and gestured to his men. “Well, you’ll certainly have a bit of a hard time getting through my trusty men here.”

“Try me.” Cailen said with a new edge to his voice. I looked at his face in the mirror and it was the face of a killer. His eyes were pitch black and lifeless.

By this time people were turning in their chairs and several waiters had gathered around the table, their eyes darting between the two. I pulled on Cailen’s arm but he was like a statue. He didn’t even register me behind him.

I took a step closer to get to his side and he let out a growl pushing me back. Then a tall man rounded the corner. “Do we have a problem here gentleman?” He asked in a cutting voice.

Graham kept his eyes on Cailen. “Problem? No, no problem. I was just saying hello to an old friend is all. We were just leaving.” He turned his eyes to me and smiled wide. “It was lovely to meet you, Emberly. I look forward to seeing you again soon.” Then he turned on his heel and strode out of the restaurant his men flanking his heels.

Lila was blinking looking between Alick and Cailen. “What. The. Fuck?” She asked with wide eyes.

Alick went to her side immediately and grabbed her hand pulling her from the seat. He pulled a hundred from his wallet and threw it on the table. “Come on, we need to get out of here.” He began pulling her toward the door.

Cailen was still stuck to the floor in the same spot breathing evenly and fisting his hands to his sides. I slowly placed my hand on his arm and took a step forward.

He let out a breath and turned to me pulling me into his side. “Jesus Christ, Emberly. I’m sorry. It seems like that’s all I’ve been doing lately is fucking apologizing.”

“Come on. Let’s go find Alick and figure out what we need to do next.” I reached for my clutch and gripped his hand pulling him toward the door.

When we pushed through the door my feet froze. Graham was standing by the car leaning on the hood. His men were surrounding him glaring in our direction.

Cailen turned to me. “Take Lila and go back inside.” His said restraining his voice.

“No. I’m not going anywhere. Let’s just call the police.” I begged.

He shook his head. “There is nothing the police can do, Emberly. Now stop fucking arguing with me and go back inside.” He yelled.

My anger peaked. “Don’t you dare talk to me that way. I’m an not your freaking property. Get a grip on yourself, Cailen because you are getting ready to say or do something you can’t take back.” I hissed through clenched teeth.

His eyes softened. “You’re right. I’m sorry and I will tell you how much later but I don’t want you to see this, Emberly. Please. Go inside and take Lila with you.” He pleaded.

I took a moment to stare him down then sidestepped him grabbing Lila’s arm and walked back inside.
