Alluring Ties

by Skye Turner

  Bradi’s eyes light up and Micah looks at me with mirth in his eyes. “You definitely don’t want that! Go talk to him. I’ll get Lex home.” Bradi pouts at him and he swats her backside. She leans into his chest and his arms come around her reflexively.

  Lexi raises her brows at me once more. “What’s it going to be, E?” Then she smiles as she looks over my shoulder. Her teeth show and she says, “Nevermind then.”

  I turn as I see all three of my best friends smiling at me with shit-eating grins. My eyes meet brown eyes and I see slight stubble on a chiseled chin. “Hey, y’all,” he says.

  Bradi laughs out loud and Lexi kicks her under the table, but it doesn’t stop her from talking. “Hey, Officer Hottie. How are you on this fine evening? You know our gorgeous friend Erik, right?”

  Micah turns to try to cover his laughing and Lexi buries her face in her hands as she laughs. Bradi just smiles the devilish Bradi smile. I turn and shrug. He says, “I do, yes. Hey, Erik.”

  Chuckling under my breath and tapping my thighs, I give Bradi the stink eye before greeting him. “Hey, Rhyc.”

  Gesturing to Micah’s empty chair, I say, “Want to sit down?”

  He nods and turns it backwards, before straddling it. My eyes can’t help but stray to the crotch of his tight jeans.

  He catches me looking and I see a slight flush on his cheeks. Clearing his throat, he asks why we’re here so early.

  Lexi tells him about the meeting at the bank and what we’re doing. He nods appreciatively and whistles. “Congrats, y’all. That should be really good here. You’ll do well with that.”

  Everyone talks for a bit more and then Lexi hops up. “Well, I’m getting tired and I need to get clean. The smoke and stench in here are getting to me.” She leans over and hugs me. She whispers in my ear, “Have some fun, E. You deserve it!”

  Micah helps Bradi up and everyone says goodnight before they head out, leaving Rhyc and me at the table. As we watch them leave, he turns towards me. “So, it’s just you and me now.”

  I laugh and nod. “Yeah, it appears that way. Sorry, my friends aren’t very subtle.”

  He laughs too and leans over the table so he can be heard over the music. “It’s ok. I like your friends.” Then, I can see on his face when he makes the choice. “Hey, do you want to get out of here? I can’t hear and I’ve had enough to drink. I work tomorrow afternoon.”

  I stop and take him in.

  Do I want to get out of here with him? Yes, yes I do. He’s hot and he seems nice. Let’s just see what happens here. I am not looking for anything permanent, but he’s hot. Yeah, I want to get out of here.

  Nodding, I get up and throw some bills on the table. He stands and follows me outside.

  Lexi left with Micah and Bradi, so I have my car. We get to the parking lot and stop. We just stand there as the music pulses through the closed door and interrupts the night. Finally, he chuckles. “Uh, where do you want to go? We can go someplace and talk.”

  I shrug and smile. “Wherever you want. I live with Lexi, but she’s probably curled up in her room with a book. We can go wherever you’d like though. I’d like to talk.” As I say it, my gaze takes in his mouth. He’s chewing on his bottom lip like he’s nervous. I try to reassure him. “We don’t have to go to one of our places. We can go sit somewhere if you’re more comfortable.”

  He looks at me and smiles. My cock jerks in response. “I live alone. I have an apartment up the street. We can go there if you want. Are you ok to drive?”

  My brows rise as I catch him looking at my crotch where my dick is clearly visible and ready to come out to play. I laugh. “I’m good. I was a little tipsy earlier, but I think I danced it out. I’ll follow you if that’s ok?”

  He nods and walks past me, brushing against me as he does so.

  Well ok then. I think I might get lucky tonight after all. Rhyc is so hot and a cop. Let’s see where this goes.

  Following him to his building, he directs me to park across from his unit. I do and trail behind him up the stairs to his apartment. His place is nice. He tosses his keys onto a small table by the door and then turns around and puts his hands in his pockets. It pulls his jeans down and I catch a peek of ridged muscle and a trail of dark hair disappearing into his waistband. My mouth starts to water.

  He sees me looking and quirks his brow at me. “Something catch your eye, Erik?”

  Holy shit. I guess we’re not playing games here. Hell yes, something has caught my eye and I want to see where that happy trail leads.

  Taking a step towards him, I stop about a foot away and put my hand on his abs. They jump in response. “Something certainly has, Rhyc, yes.”

  He reaches out and grips my biceps with both hands while my hand is still pressed against his abs. We just look at each other. Then, he growls and pulls me towards him before pressing his mouth to mine. He kneads my arms as he explores my mouth with his tongue. Still kissing, he slips his hands under the hem of my shirt, and raises it up. He breaks the kiss only to pull it over my head. I raise my arms to give him better access. Gripping his shirt with my hands, I return the favor.

  Once we’re both shirtless, we take a step back and take each other in. We’re both hard and firm, but his shoulders are decorated with tattoos, while his chest has curls leading down to a trail of dark hair. His skin is darker than mine. He is a beautiful specimen.

  He pulls me back to him and I take him by surprise when I turn him and walk him the few steps to the wall. Once his back hits it, I lick his mouth and suck on his tongue before trailing my lips over his stubbled chin and neck. His head is thrown back against the wall and he’s panting as he holds on to my arms. I trail my mouth down his chest, stopping at both nipples and nipping until they form hard little beads. My hands have found the fastening of his jeans and I unsnap them. Trailing my mouth down, I follow the happy trail. At his “V”, I lick and nip the entire thing and push his jeans down. His cock springs free and is standing proudly inches from my mouth.

  He’s gasping and I can see the restraint he’s trying to hold on to. He looks down at me and as his eyes meet mine, I take his straining sheath into my mouth. I deep throat it once and as it hits the back of my throat, I hum. He moans and grabs my head. Our gazes are still locked.

  I unsnap my own pants and release my rock hard dick and take it into my hand. As I continue to lick and suck his magnificent cock, I’m stroking my own.

  After several minutes, I can feel his back arch, and his dick goes completely rigid. He gasps out, “I’m going to cum. Where do you want me to cum?”

  In answer, I suck harder and push him deep into my throat. He shouts out with his release and I feel his warm, salty seed hit the back of my throat. I swallow and suck until he softens and then look up as he slumps onto the wall. He grins at me. “Wow. You’re pretty good at that, Erik.”

  I laugh while I continue to stroke my aching cock. Sliding down the wall, he pushes me over, and makes me lie back on the floor. He looks his fill and replaces my hand with his own. Leaning over me, he licks me from root to tip. I groan and he laughs. He looks at me and winks. “My turn.” Then, my dick disappears into the moist cavern of his mouth. His cheeks are hollowed out and the suction is amazing. I can tell it will be quick. He adds his other hand and cups my balls. Between his hands and mouth, I’m in heaven. As he moves up my shaft with his warm, wet mouth, his hands are moving down. The two sensations are amazing and I start thrusting into his mouth. I feel my balls tighten and he groans. “Not in my mouth. Tell me just before, because not in my mouth.”

  I barely hear him. I’m about to blow. I gasp out, “Now. Now…” Taking me out of his mouth, he sits up and straddles me. His hands are moving nonstop and looking at him, I cum. I spurt all over his stomach and watch as he continues to milk me as my cum drips down his hard abs, getting all in his happy trail.

  Finally, I’m spent and I lie back. He lies next to me on the floor and we both catch our breath. The night is filled with much of
the same and the sex is off the charts. As the first lights of dawn touch the sky, we fall into slumber.

  Rhyc and I were friends with benefits for a few months, before we both got busy with work and saw each other less and less. We parted ways as friends and still occasionally see each other out and about.

  Chapter Eleven

  Bradi

  3 years ago

  It’s Carnival time in Louisiana! I can’t wait. Micah and I were finally able to talk Erik and Lexi into closing for the day, so it’s the Saturday before Mardi Gras and we’re heading to Spanish Town for the parade. I love this parade. It’s insane and politically incorrect and tacky and awesome.

  Micah is hollering at me to hurry up so we can go pick up Erik and Lexi. We have a prime spot that Micah’s parents’ law firm reserved for us, so we don’t have to worry about that, but he wants to get there and get settled. Traffic is going to be nuts. Thank God we can park at the firm.

  I’m putting the finishing touches on my make-up and piling my hair on top of my head when he pushes the door open. “Baby, are you ready? We need to get going. They’re going to be waiting on us.” Glancing at him in the mirror, I stand up and cock my hip while I watch his eyes travel over my body. He takes in my kelly green panties and bra and he clenches his jaw. I love that he still worships my body and never fails to show his appreciation. My stomach clenches in anticipation.

  Meeting his eyes in the mirror, I start trailing my fingers over the globes of my breasts, while I watch him follow every movement.

  He groans. “Bradi…”

  Smirking, I push my breasts together and lick my lips while I shimmy a bit to make everything jiggle. He watches every movement. “You’re so damn bad, Bradi.”

  I chuckle and unhook my bra. I want him. He has to fuck me before we leave. “You love it when I’m inappropriate.” My bra slides down my arms and I fling it back towards him.

  The door bounces off the wall as he storms into the bathroom and pulls me back against him. He’s still watching me in the mirror and I can clearly feel his very thick dick, through his cargo shorts, against the cheeks of my ass. He growls at me, “Baby, I’m about to get all kinds of inappropriate with you.” His hands reach around and cup my breasts and he squeezes. Then, he pulls my head up and crashes his mouth into mine. His tongue sweeps past my lips and he’s thrusting against my ass at the same tempo that his tongue is fucking my mouth, all while rolling and pinching my nipples. My knees are weak.

  Dear, God. This man turns me into putty. He can do whatever he wants to me. He’s the only man I’ll ever let my defenses down for. God, I love him.

  Reaching back, I work my hand between our bodies and grip his cock. Somehow I’m able to get the snap undone and my hand swoops inside and claims its prize. He moans into my mouth as one of his hands leaves my breasts, trails down my stomach, and pushes past my panties. I open my legs to give him access and he slips a finger inside my throbbing channel. He starts to finger me and I’m stroking him behind my back, while we continue to devour each other’s mouths. I’m able to push his shorts just past his hips and my hand is no longer trapped. He breaks the kiss and still looking at me in the mirror, pushes my panties down. Once they clear my knees, I step out and he grabs my leg, hooking it around his waist. Looking at me in the mirror, he surges and enters me in one thrust. My head falls back against him and if not for him supporting my weight, I’d crumple to the floor.

  “Micah, God… oh, baby. I love you. Give it to me.” I’m gasping and moaning and my eyes are straining to stay open.

  Still watching me, he bites my earlobe and growls in my ear, “Who owns this pussy?”

  I wrench my eyes open and stare at him in the mirror. “You!” I scream out as the pleasure brings tears to my eyes. “No one but you.”

  “Fucking right! No… one… but… me!” His thrusts are getting harder and faster and I’m jerking with every thrust. I love it. I love the way he fucks me. He grabs my neck and I turn my head up and look right at him. “I… love… you.”

  His declaration makes me shatter and I scream out with my completion. “MICAH!” As I tighten around him, I feel his release. His thrusting slows, and I can feel him still convulsing inside of me. Reaching up to touch his face, I pull his head down and kiss him. “I love you, Micah Stevens.”

  He smiles at me and presses a hard kiss to my mouth as he sets my leg down and pulls out of me. My thighs and the back of my neck are wet. He presses a kiss there and licks. Slapping my ass, he says, “I know you do. I love you, too.” Then, he laughs. “Now, we’re really late.”

  He reaches down and hands me my panties and says, “Don’t clean up. I like knowing that guys are going to be looking at my girl today, but my cum will be inside of you.”

  I wink at him and smirk. “You caveman. You don’t have to mark your territory. I’m not going anywhere. Even if you want me to.”

  He laughs and swats my ass again as he rearranges his clothing and locates my bra. “I know that. Maybe I just like knowing that you’re mine.”

  There he goes again. I love this man so much. He’s my everything. He saved me when I didn’t know I needed saving. I can’t wait until the day he really makes me his and I can give him a baby. Down, Bradi! It’s a fun day. You know he’s not going anywhere either.

  “Because you’re a caveman. Now get out. That face is distracting. Give me ten minutes and I’ll be ready to go.” He walks out humming and I get dressed and refix my hair, that good loving messed up my do. I’m not complaining though.

  Thirty minutes later, we’re at Erik and Lexi’s. Opening the front door, I call out, “Y’all ready?”

  Lexi answers from the kitchen, “Yeah. We’ve been ready. Y’all are late. We started without you.” Micah and I chance a glance at each other and laugh. Who cares if we’re late!?

  As we turn towards the kitchen, Erik comes out carrying an ice chest. Micah asks him what else they need to load up. We all grab stuff and head out once the car is loaded with food, Jell-O shots, and alcohol.

  We navigate Downtown Baton Rouge for an hour before we are able to pull into the law firm to park. It’s two blocks to the parade spot, so we all load up and bring everything to the tent. Micah’s parents and some clients and friends are already there and we all exchange our hellos. His parents don’t know why we broke up a few years back and the couple of times I’ve thrown a fit and told Micah I was leaving him since then, he’s never disclosed to them either. Besides, I never meant it and he always just told me to come back once I returned to my sanity. Which I always do, normally in the same day.

  Olivia walks over to chat with Lexi and me while Micah and Erik talk sports with the men. “Hey, girls. Lexi, everything looks amazing. I’m so glad y’all decided to close for the day and come out. You work too hard, sweetheart.”

  Lexi blushes at the compliment. The truth is, she’s the most talented baker and cake decorator in town, but she still gets flustered. She and Erik opened Java and Sweeties about a year ago and business is booming. The coffee shop is always packed and she bakes six days a week to keep up with orders and demand. Their shop is already turning a small profit which is almost unheard of. I’m so proud of them.

  She mumbles, “Thank you, Mrs. Stevens. I appreciate it. I love what I do, but everyone has been on me to have some fun, too.”

  I hug her close to me and Olivia replies, “Fun is necessary for a healthy lifestyle. But you’ve outdone yourself again. Everyone is raving about the desserts. I think you’re going to gather some more new clients! And please, Olivia, remember?!”

  “Yes, ma’am. Thank you.”

  She smiles at us again and leans over towards me. “There’s a very attractive man over there who can’t take his eyes off of you, Bradi. You’re so good for my son and we’re so blessed that you two found each other and are still going strong.” My eyes tear up. She’s always been so kind and accepting of me, even after the fiasco of my leaving him on Christmas Eve a couple of years ago.


  “Thank you, Olivia. You know I can’t keep my eyes off of him either.” I laugh as I catch his eye and he winks at me. I blow him a kiss.

  Lexi snorts. “Or her hands!”

  Olivia throws her head back and laughs. “Oh, Lexi dear, I do so adore you.” She pats both of our shoulders and says as she turns to walk away, “I guess I need to go see to the boring old people now. You kids have fun!”

  I punch Lexi in the shoulder and she laughs harder. Micah and Erik walk over. Micah raises his brow at me. “Why are you abusing Lexi?”

  Lexi can’t stop laughing and I chuckle too. “Because she just told your mother that I can’t keep my hands off of you.”

  Erik chuckles heartily and hugs Lexi.

  Micah guffaws and says, “Well, you can’t. Hence why we were late getting these two earlier.” He waggles his eyebrows at me.

  Erik and Lexi have tears running down their faces and I’m sputtering. “Oh… you shut up. You touched me first!”

  “Only after you enticed me and took off your bra! How am I supposed to say no to those titties?”

  Everyone is cracking up and I catch Olivia’s eye. Dear God, did she hear all that?! She winks.

  I shove him and pretend pout. “Asshole. I don’t care and you’re not touching me again. That’s your mother right there, Micah. Your mother!”

  Lexi is crying, she’s laughing so hard. “Hello, you live together. I’m pretty sure Olivia knows you bang her son, Bradi.”

  “When did you become so crude?” I laugh too. “You live with Erik and no one thinks you two fuck.”

  Lexi starts choking. Erik hits her back and Micah is chuckling, too. Lex says, “That’s because we are not dating. He likes dudes. I am not a dude. I do not have a pogo stick.”

  Erik chokes, but responds through his mirth. “This is true. Lexi does not have the goods that hook me.”

  When did Lex become such a little firecracker?! She’s becoming me. Lord, help us!
