Finn's Shot (Eden's Odyssey Book 1)

by Tiffani Lynn

  I move back to his shaft and begin a relentless rhythm gripping my hand around the base of his cock as I bob up and down. I watch as all of his features grow tighter while I increase the suction. Right before he blows, he taps my head and I lean back offering up my red lace covered breasts. His milky cream lands in hot spurts along the plump flesh of my chest, some of it dripping over the lace. I watch fascinated as the white rolls down over the red, bisecting the color. He grabs the box of tissue on the end of the couch and cleans me up.

  Once he’s completed the task of cleaning me he grips me under my arms and flips me to the couch on my back. He arranges one leg bent at the knee against the back of the couch and one over his shoulder and flips the bottom of my short skirt up to my waist. My thong is ripped from my body and tossed aside before he trails calloused fingers over my bare flesh and parts the folds in a tender motion. Instead of starting with fingers he dips his face down and pushes his tongue into my wet flesh. I arch against the feeling and cry out with need. He drills me with his tongue until he strokes up higher and dances around my clit, holding me down so I can’t squirm.

  “If you want it baby, you have to tell me. I’m not giving you something unless you ask for it tonight. Now put your hands inside your bra and roll your nipples with those expert fingers. Don’t stop.”

  “Finn.” It’s a plea to have mercy on me, I’m ready.

  “What do you want?”

  “I want you to eat my pussy. Need you to. Please.” I implore. The tears are building from need, from frustration, from overwhelming lust. “I need your tongue on my clit.”

  He latches on to my clit with his strong lips and flicks several times with his tongue before he pulls away.

  “Like that?” he asks, but the smug look on his face reveals that he already knows it’s exactly what I want.

  “Yes, like that yes. Don’t stop,” I wheeze.

  I spread my legs wider as he separates my lips further and goes back to work. It’s only a few minutes later that I’m screaming loud enough for the whole club to hear his name. He stays buried against me, pushing me to my absolute limits. When my body is limp with satisfaction, he pulls my skirt back down and lowers my leg to the floor. Then he tugs his boxers and pants back up over his hips and crawls up on the couch to kiss and nuzzle me until I’m ready to move again. We spend the next few minutes whispering little things to each other that don’t matter to the rest of the world, but mean everything to us.

  When I finally admit, “I need a drink,” he helps me up and I shuffle my sweater back on. He holds my hand as I lead us out of the room.

  Chapter Thirteen: Finn

  I’m completely unprepared for the sheer number of people who were packed into that space taking in our scene. Confused I keep following her lead looking from person to person to person until I come across Bobby. Fuck. I forgot he might come here tonight. I didn’t want him to see that. Instead of some crude remark like he’s known for he simply grabs my suit coat and says, “That was fucking hot. I see why you wait to come home. I’m not sure I’d ever leave.” The shock must show on my face and before I can say anything he punches my arm and fades into the crowd.

  I keep moving and next I spot James. That fucker looks like he’d kill me if he could. I’m tempted to be a dick and say something about how hot her tight little cunt was tonight but I don’t want to piss her off. At least I staked my claim in front of all those douche bags tonight. They’d have to have a serious death wish to try and take something from a six foot six, two hundred thirty-pound hockey player. A smug smile spreads across my lips and I keep going. I’m proud as hell of our little show back there. There’s a lot to be said for this exhibitionist shit.

  We head back to the bar where I order a drink and plant my ass next to Tanisha. She gives me a knowing smile and winks at me before downing the rest of her drink.

  “Tanisha.” I nod. “How’ve you been?”

  “I’m good, Finn. How long are you in town this time?” Her smile is infectious so I smile back.

  “Close to a week. Then I’m gone for a few days, then back for a few.” I shrug communicating that I’m used to it.

  “That’s a lot of time away. It’s got to be difficult.”

  “Yeah, more so now that I have Darcy, but I’m going to try to get her to come for a game or two on the road. I know she can’t be away for long, but maybe we can work it out.”

  “I’m sure she’ll figure something out. As long as you give her some options. Between this place and Georgia sometimes scheduling can be difficult.”

  “I figured. I’ll talk to her about it tomorrow.”

  “So, I have to ask… why are you always sitting here alone? There are plenty of men looking your way.”

  “Honestly, there is one man I’ve been interested in for awhile. He just doesn’t seem to notice me. I can’t figure out how to make that happen, but I guess if it was going to happen it would have. He’s had ample opportunity.” Her eyes drop to her hand still resting on her empty glass and she chews the inside of her lip like she’s contemplating something serious.

  “Well, I’m not sure he’s worth your time since it’s obvious he’s blind and obviously stupid.”

  “Thanks, Finn.”

  “Sometimes men are dense creatures. We don’t notice what’s right in front of us unless someone else draws our attention to it.” Many men I know look past what’s right in their faces until someone else draws attention to it. How anyone has looked passed Tanisha I have no idea. The woman is built like a brick shit house and has a smile that lights up the room. Her light cocoa skin is flawless and appears smooth. She also has a head full or gorgeous hair that hints at a wild side.

  “You mean like make him jealous?” Her chin jerks back. Her voice is incredulous.

  “Well not exactly. I think instead of sitting here waiting for him to notice you that you should go about your life and look around. Maybe someone has been waiting for you to notice them. Have a good time, live a little. If this guy is going to notice you it’ll be while you’re living a little not while you are sitting around waiting. If he still doesn’t, then he wasn’t meant to be yours anyway. You could do better and better is probably out there waiting for you to move on. I know it’s hard. I’ve been there, done that. It’ll at least keep you from going home alone, wondering what’s wrong with you that he hasn’t come after you yet. There is nothing wrong with you so I’m thinking he’s an idiot.”

  “Thanks. Maybe you’re right.”

  “I am, I promise. Do you date white guys?”

  “Um… yeah. Why?” she’s giving me a what kind of question is that face.

  “The guy who invited me here is single and not looking to get hitched but he’s a decent guy and always up for a good time. If I hook you up for a date will you go? Not for anything permanent, just for fun?”

  “Are you talking about the hottie with the short dark hair, brown eyes, broad shoulders, tall guy?”

  I chuckle. “Yeah, that’s Bobby.”

  She smiles. “Okay, I’m down with that. Introduce me or have him call me. Give me your cell and I’ll add my number.”

  As I’m passing her my cell phone Darcy speaks from behind me, “He’s right you know. There’s nothing wrong with you. If Charles can’t see that then he’s missing out. Even if you don’t end up going out with Bobby. Take one of the guys from work up on the offer or one of the hundreds around here that have shown interest.”

  Throwing her hands up in a gesture of surrender Tanisha replies, “Okay, okay, okay. If he calls, I’ll go out with him. If someone else asks in the mean time I’ll go out with them, too. You two are right I shouldn’t be sitting her waiting every night.”

  Chapter Fourteen: Darcy

  Hearing Finn tell my girl how awesome she is did two things. One, it made me happy that he would see the good in my best friend and encourage her to move on and quit waiting. I know Charles is interested. I can tell by the way he hawk-eyes her when she’s in the room
, but for whatever reason he won’t go there. Two, I was a little bit jealous. I won’t tell either of them that but the green eyed monster reared her ugly head when Finn said Charles was blind and stupid for not noticing her. I get that he was trying to make her feel better and it’s true she’s a knock out. I didn’t want to know he’s been checking her out.

  I lace my fingers through his and pull him to my office saying goodbye to Tanisha as we go. I drag him in the door and lead him to the couch.

  “Sit,’” I say as I push his chest indicating that I mean business.

  His eyes grow wide with shock at first and then curiosity as he sits. I straddle his hips facing him as I grasp his suit coat in my hands pulling him forward to meet my mouth. Then I smash my lips to his in a kiss hungry to claim and to pull his mind off of any other woman. I’ve never felt this burning jealousy in the pit of my stomach, not about anyone. Sadness, betrayal and a little jealously are emotions I’ve experienced, but never like this. I know I’m being stupid. She’s my best friend, but I can’t help the reaction.

  His arms wrap around me and squeeze. He never takes his lips from mine but he asks, “What’s got you all wound up?”

  I try to pull back, too embarrassed to tell him. I don’t want to admit it. I shake my head.

  “Tell me. Something set you off and I want to know what it is.”

  I turn my head still trying to break the hold. With his lips to my cheek he asks, “What is it? If we’re going to make this work you have to talk to me.”

  I close my eyes and exhale because I know he’s right, but I still don’t want to say it out loud.

  He loosens his hold enough to lean back and catch my eye. “What is it?”

  “A little jealous.” I whisper, unable to lift my gaze to his.

  “Really? Over what?”

  “It’s stupid. Can we not talk about it?”

  “No. We have to talk about it.”

  I close my eyes and take a deep breath. “Tanisha. I got jealous when I realized you’d noticed her.”

  His head jerks back and his eyebrows pull together. “Not in the way you were thinking. She’s a beautiful woman, but she’s not the woman I want. She doesn’t set my blood on fire and make me crazy with wanting her. That’s you. Did I do something wrong? I was trying to help your best friend. I know you want her happy.”

  “No, you didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t know where that came from. It sort of welled up in me and spilled over. I want her happy and you were right about everything you said. I never thought about you noticing other women. It’s stupid.”

  “It’s not stupid. It’s human, but so is noticing beautiful people. I’m sure you walk around this club every night and notice all the beautiful people in here. I’m sure that’s all you do though is notice. Am I right?”

  “Yeah. I get it. I wish I could erase it. I’ve never felt like this and I hate it. It’s making me crazy right now.”

  In a swift, sweet kiss he settles my jealous thoughts. Nothing sweet lasts long with us. It all seems to turn heated and this is no exception. Within five minutes I’m grinding on his lap while he’s whipping off my top and releasing my bra. Kissing his way down my neck to my needy nipples I whimper when his warm lips cover the first one. My head is thrown back in ecstasy and while my fingers are laced in his thick chocolate locks holding him to me when the door to my office opens and James enters. He doesn’t see us at first because he’s looking at paperwork in his hands.

  “Um… James. Probably not a good time.” I squeak.

  His eyes narrow on us and he tips his chin and walks out the door without a word. Awkward.

  “What the fuck! Doesn’t he knock?”

  “Never been a reason too.”

  “Well there is now.”

  Finn’s pissed and practically breathing fire.

  “Calm down. I’ll talk to him later. It was an honest mistake.”

  “No, I’ll talk to him later. I know he’s seen all of this before, but it’s not his anymore.”

  Wow. So I’m not the only one with jealous tendencies. Before he can rant more I scoot to the back of his legs and undo his pants and belt. Then I take him out of his clothes and stifle his rant with a squeeze to his shaft. His breath catches and I know I distracted him. I pump his hot flesh several times before I snag the condom on the table next to the couch and roll it on him. I readjust and sink down on him. His head falls back and he grips my thighs.

  “Ahhh,” I cry out at the depth he’s reached as he stretches me.

  I lean in and kiss my way up his exposed neck, stopping to nibble on his earlobe. His hips buck in response and I whisper, “You are so fucking hot right now.” Then I raise and drop down harder this time moving at a medium pace. He gets impatient and flips me to my back on the couch and drills me hard and fast. My screams echo around the room as my orgasm burns through me. I’m certain I left nail marks in his back even with his shirt still on but I don’t care. That was phenomenal, so hot. So amazing. When he’s spent he collapses against me.

  “Did I hurt you?”

  “No, just the opposite.”

  Almost purring with contentment I tell him, “Don’t worry about James, honey. I’ll talk to him tomorrow. It won’t be an issue.”

  “I’m know it won’t be an issue because I’m going to handle it. I know you guys had something at one time, but that’s over and he needs to get that.”

  “That was eight years ago, Finn”

  “Yeah, but everyday for eight years he’s been sorry. I can see it in his eyes when you’re around and he needs to know I’m not putting up with that bullshit.”

  “I think you’re wrong about it, but if you aren’t I’m want to talk to him first. I’m not a fan of the big macho pissing on territory crap when things can be handled more civilized. If that doesn’t work than you can do your thing. Please, let me try to handle this?”

  “Fine. But I’m not screwing around, Darcy. He needs to know you’re taken and I won’t put up with any bullshit.”

  “Okay. I get it.”

  His kiss is tender before he releases me to get dressed.

  Chapter Fifteen: Finn

  As the weeks pass all is well with us. We’re getting to know each other and spending all of our free moments together. The only exception being when she received a call in the middle of the night that her sister was having major issues and she jumped in the car to get there. I had to leave the next day to get to Winnipeg so I couldn’t go with her. Other than that life has been fabulous, but this time was more difficult saying goodbye knowing I’ll be gone for ten days.

  She was planning to come to see me on the road but is now afraid that something will happen with Georgia and she’ll be too far away to deal with it. I understood so I didn’t make a big deal about it. I’m just going a little stir crazy sitting in my hotel room for the fifth night in a row with nothing to do. I called her but it went to voicemail so I left a message. Then I pulled on my boots and coat and headed out to get a meal and maybe a movie.

  As I was headed down the elevator I ran into Jacque, one of my teammates, who was headed to a local bar and grill to check out one of our rivals on the sports network, so I joined him. Things were good and my mood was improving until we were spotted by a group of local hockey fans. They came over and spent the next thirty minutes chatting us up.

  Then the females in the bar took notice and started to circle the table like vultures. Once upon a time I wouldn’t have minded but now that I have Darcy I am not interested. We signed autographs and I was pleasant until the girls got too grabby. Jacque didn’t mind at all but I was uncomfortable. There were a lot of tits and ass on display and shoved in my face. I put up with it until I was mid-laugh and one of the girls dropped into my lap and placed a kiss on my cheek. Before I could respond she had her tongue in my ear and there were flashes going off all over the place.

  Great. This won’t look good at all. I managed to avoid social media and paparazzi issues since I started see
ing Darcy but I knew it wouldn’t last forever. The part I’m regretting right now is that I didn’t get the chance to warn her yet. I guess when I get back to the hotel I’ll be calling her to explain. This is something I’m not looking forward to.

  Ready to make my escape before this spirals downhill further I pay my portion of the bill and leave Jacque to hang with everyone we’ve accumulated. As soon as I step out the door the woman who dropped into my lap grabs my hand and tugs me back. I’m a big guy and don’t get jerked around easily, but I was mid step so to keep my balance I spun around and planted my foot forward landing right in her space.

  Glancing down at her I pulled my hand free and snapped, “I’ve got to go.” As I turned to leave she shouted, “I’m great company if you don’t want to be alone.”

  “Got a woman, but thanks.” Is all I said back as I returned to my hotel.

  I dialed Darcy’s number along the way but it went to voicemail again so I left a message asking her to call me when she got the message.

  ****

  By the next afternoon I haven’t heard from her and I start to worry. It’s not like her not to call me back. I don’t know if something happened or if she got a whiff of those pictures on social media but I know something is wrong. I decide to call Tanisha’s number and get no answer so I leave her a message then I head to the arena for tonight’s game with a sour feeling in my stomach.
