“What about all the other women, Ace? How can I compete with all the women, I don’t think I can.”
“I DON’T WANT ANY OTHER WOMAN BUT YOU! Alison, how many times do I have to repeat myself? I am a man of my word. I want you and only you. I am drawn to you like a bee is to honey.”
I’m hoping he’s right because I’m not sure if I can deal with him going behind my back with other women. My heart is telling me to take a chance, but my head is telling me to run.
I’m so confused with what I should do. I’m extremely attracted to Ace. He is every woman’s wet dream, but I’m just plain me. How is it that he wants to be with me when he can have someone who looks like Porsche? Battling with myself, I decide I will give Ace a chance to prove himself.
I can’t just walk away not knowing if I am walking away from the best thing that can ever happen to me. I lean into Ace, stepping up on my tippy toes. “You better not mess this up; I’m giving you a chance to prove yourself. Please don’t make me regret it.”
Ace grabs my waist and whips us around, “Oh God Peaches. Thank you so much for this chance. I promise you won’t regret it”.
In my head, I keep repeating… I hope so, I really hope so.
Ace touches both sides of my face, bringing his head down to mine, our lips touch. It’s like little sparks are going off between us.
“Stay with me tonight, Peaches. I want you close to me in my bed.”
Ace must see the uncertainty on my face because he rushes out and says, “Only to sleep, nothing more. I don’t want to rush you into anything you’re not ready for. I just want you close.”
Just then, I think I fell in love with him a little.
Chapter 8
Viper is fuming about Tammy blowing him off. Man, he has been trying so hard to get with her. I am not sure what is going on but I am pretty fucking sure Tammy has it just as bad for Viper and he does for her even though nothing’s happen other than flirting back and forth.
Hopefully, something works out for them because it will be so fucking awkward if they don’t get along, Alison being Tammy’s sister and Viper being my man; my best friend since we were kids.
I hear yelling and I am snapped out of it. Looking toward the commotion, I see Alison standing there holding her cheek, and Tammy is on the floor punching the shit out of Porsche. What the fuck?
I move to get through all the people that are dancing and not paying attention to the girls on the floor fighting. Fucking morons.
Finally getting to Alison, I see Porsche on the floor wailing. I’m in shock. Holy shit! I have to stop this. I might not like Porsche that much, but hell, come on, I’m not an asshole and just going to let her get her ass beat.
Viper jumps in and grabs Tammy off of Porsche; she’s kicking and screaming away, trying to make her way back to Porsche. I ask Alison if she is okay and she says she is fine, but she is shaken up from this whole mess.
Turning around, I bend down to check Porsche. Her lip is bleeding, and she is sobbing on the floor. Picking her up off the floor, I head down to the bathroom to help her clean up and see what the hell happened.
By the way Alison was holding her cheek; I have a pretty good guess as to why.
Sitting Porsche beside the sink on the counter, I grab a cloth from the drawer. Wetting it with cold water, I press it onto Porsche's lip.
She grabs the cloth and holds it there. Her tears are drying up, and she slants her head up, her voice low. “I’m sorry, Ace. I know you’re probably upset with me, but I want you to know, I love you. I always have. I’m worried that with her here I will lose you, and I can’t lose you. You’re everything to me. I can’t lose you; I can’t.”
I’m stunned by Porsche’s words; I know she cares for me but holy shit, she loves me. I told her right from the beginning I didn’t want a relationship with her. We were fuck buddies; nothing more, nothing less.
I’m not sure what to say to her. She is staring at me with fresh new tears running down her face. Fuck, I hate when women cry. It guts me, but I know I have to tell her the truth about how I feel, and I hope she will back off.
“Porsche, we have known each other for a long time. We grew up together. Our fathers were good friends, but I told you from the beginning how this was going to go, and you agreed with it. I’m sorry if I hurt you, but I don’t have feelings like that for you. I don’t love you, and I don’t think I ever could. I must sound like an asshole, but I want to be with Alison.”
Porsche grinds her jaw, opening her mouth to speak to me. “How can you want to be with her? You just met her. You don’t even know her. I’ve been there for you, not her. Please Ace, I love you.”
Why can’t she listen to me when I talk? I tell her how I feel about her and knowing I can’t love her, yet she still wants to be with me knowing I won’t return her feelings. What the hell is wrong with this woman?
“Porsche, I’m sorry but I told you. I want Alison and that’s it.”
Porsche grabs at me and pulls me to her. I’m standing in between her legs now and she wraps them around my waist, holding me there.
“Come on. How about one last good fuck before you turn away from me, Ace? I know you want to.” I am trying my hardest not to lose my shit. What the fuck is wrong with her hearing? I don’t want her.
She starts trying to unbutton my jeans, and I grab her hands, but she is determined to get then undone. She manages to get the button undone and goes for the zipper. This time, I have her hands behind her, and she can’t move. “Come on, baby, you love it.” She’s licking and kissing my neck when I hear the door open. Fuck!!!
Praying to God it’s not Alison, I whip my head to the left to see who it is. Blaze is staring at me, shaking his head back and forth. I relax until I hear a gasp and Alison steps from behind Blaze and stands there in shock.
I go to speak, but the look Alison is giving me, I snap my mouth shut. Damn it.
Blaze walks up to Porsche and yells at her, “You. Are. A. Fucking. Bitch.”
What I hear next makes my heart beat so fast. Alison has tears in her eyes. “I can’t believe I fell for your lies. I knew you couldn’t be with one woman. I can’t compete with all these women that throw themselves at you. I’m happy that I realized this now before it was too late.”
Alison turns to leave. Fuck, no! No! I don’t want her to leave. I have to talk to her, and she needs to know nothing happened. Shit.
“Porsche, get the fuck out, NOW!” I roar.
I can’t let Alison leave without hearing what I have to say. I grab a hold of her arm and she turns and stares at me.
“Please stay. It is not what you think. I don’t want her, Peaches. I never did. I want you. Fuck, I want you to understand that nothing will happen between Porsche and me, EVER again. What happened with Porsche is in the past. Please baby. Don’t leave.”
I’m praying she believes me. If she leaves here and doesn’t listen to what I have said, I know for a fact that I lost any chance I had with her. I don’t think I can live with myself knowing I hurt her before we had a chance to see where this goes.
I see someone move behind Alison. Blaze is still standing there. I tip my head up, giving him a ‘What the fuck are you still doing here’ look.
He leaves without saying a word. I’m sure he will be talking with me later about this whole fucking mess.
“Peaches, I swear to you. I don’t want Porsche.”
“What about all the other women, Ace? How can I compete with all the women? I don’t think I can.”
“I DON’T WANT ANY OTHER WOMAN BUT YOU! Alison, how many times do I have to repeat myself? I am a man of my word. I want you and only you. I am drawn to you like a bee is to honey.”
Fuck, I hope she knows how sincere I am because I’m pouring my heart out here and she is looking at me without blinking. What is she thinking?
Alison steps on her tiptoes and whispers into my ear, “You better not mess this up. I’m giving you a chance to prove yourself. Please don’t make me regret it.”
I’m so fucking happy to hear her say those words. She’s giving me a chance. Before she can say anything else, I grab her by the waist lifting her off the floor and whipping her around. “Oh God Peaches, thank you so much for this chance. I promise you won’t regret it”.
Putting my hands on each side of her face, I lean down to give her a soft kiss. She moans, and it goes straight to my groin. I want her with me tonight. I want her to sleep in my bed with me where she belongs.
“Stay with me tonight, Peaches. I want you in my bed.”
I can see by the way she is acting that she isn’t too sure about staying the night with me. Her eyes are wide with worry, and she’s biting her lip nervously. I want to put her mind at ease. “Only to sleep, nothing more. I don’t want to rush you into anything you’re not ready for. I just want you close.”
Sucking in a quick breath, I wait to see what she decides. Her lips part and her breathing is heavier. Her eyes are dark with lust. Shit, she is going to kill me. Come hell or high water I am not going to have sex with her tonight.
I want it to be special for her, and I won’t be fucking her. She is the type of woman that needs to be made love to.
She finally speaks. “Ace, I’m sorry, but I don’t feel right staying the night. Not tonight anyway. After everything, I just want to go home. I hope you understand.”
She’s standing there with her eyes down and biting her lip. I am a little disappointed that she doesn’t want to stay the night with me, but at the same time, I understand. I don’t want to push her.
She opens her mouth to speak but then closes it; looking lost in thought.
“Peaches, what’s wrong?” She looks me in the eye and I can tell she’s worried about saying what she has to say.
“What happened in the bathroom with Porsche? When Blaze and I walked in, I could have sworn you guys were getting hot and heavy in there.”
“Shit, babe, I swear nothing was happening, she kept trying to get me to fuck her, and I told her no. She started kissing my neck and undoing my pants. I grabbed her hands and put them behind her back to stop her.”
She nods her understanding.
I wrap my arm around her and pull her close, giving her a kiss on the forehead. We walk out of the clubhouse to her car when she stops and turns to me. “My sister is still inside. I can’t leave her here.”
“Peaches, I’m sure she’s fine. Last I saw, she was with Viper. Don’t worry about her. I will make sure Viper gets her home. They need to talk, Alison. They need to work out their shit.”
She nods. “You’re right; they do need to work on whatever the hell is going on between them.”
As I bend down to capture a kiss from her, my lips barely touch hers. My tongue leaps out and touches her bottom lip. She gasps and I plunge my tongue past her lips. Our tongues mixing together, I groan loving the feel of her tongue on mine.
Pulling back, she looks up at me. “Good night, Ace.” Her voice is raw with desire and her eyes full of want.
“Good night, Peaches.”
She gets into her car, backs up and leaves. I stand there staring at her tail lights disappearing in the distance. Walking back into the clubhouse, I head toward the bar, grab a beer and sit down on the stool.
Fuck that kiss… I want more. I was so fucking close to picking her up and dragging her ass into my room where I would worship her body from head to fucking toe.
My dick is hard just fucking thinking about it. How her tits were pushed up against me. Fuck, I need to stop thinking about it. My dick is rock hard. I’m going to need a cold shower.
Viper is nowhere in sight. He must still be cooped up in his room with Tammy. I hope to fuck he doesn’t hurt her because I can’t see that going very well with Alison.
I should wait up for them to come out, but I know Viper. I’m pretty sure they won’t be out of that room anytime soon. I head to my own room to grab a cold shower and sleep.
Turning the shower on and step inside, my mind wandering to Alison and to that kiss and her moans. Fuck, I’m stroking myself before I know it. I stroke faster and faster thinking of Alison calling out my name as I fuck her. I can feel the tingling up my spine and my balls getting tight. Before I know it, I’m coming all over the shower wall, grunting my release. I finish up by washing and rinsing myself and exit the bathroom, grabbing a pair of boxers and putting them on.
As I lay down on my bed, I close my eyes hoping for sleep to come. I’m so worked up and even after my shower, I’m still rock hard. Fuck...
Chapter 9
Pulling up to our apartment, I can’t help but worry about Tammy. I hope she gets home okay. I don’t know what happened after she left the room with Viper. I know that she can hold her own, but still doesn’t help the fact that I left her there.
I shoot Tammy a quick text. Letting her know I’m home and to see how she is doing. She replies back to my text message within a few minutes.
Tammy- : I’m Okay; I will be going home soon. Viper wanted to talk. And I think this was past due; we need to talk about what the hell is happening because I am sick of this.
Checking her text, I shake my head. I can see Tammy now chewing into Viper. Laughing, I head to the bathroom to wash my face. I look in the mirror; I don’t see what people see. I don’t see a girl that people tell me they see. I don’t see how beautiful I am. Getting into bed, hopefully I get some sleep.
I hear the front door open and close. Looking at my clock; the angry red numbers read three AM. What the hell? Tammy said she was going to be home soon, and that was at eleven thirty. Getting out of bed, I go check on Tammy.
I head down the hallway to the kitchen, I see Tammy getting a drink from the fridge. Her hair is a mess. I clear my throat, and she spins around, she has a look on her face like a doe in headlights. She knows I caught her.
Smirking, “What happened to being home soon, Tammy?”
Tammy’s face goes beet red, “Sorry, got caught up talking with Viper.”
Oh, I’m sure they were just talking, but by the way her appearance is, I’m pretty sure they got lots of talking done…with their bodies.
Giving Tammy my best mother look I can come up with ‘That is not all that happened’ look. She finally decides to open her mouth and tell me that they did talk, but then it lead to a heavy make out session and then they ended up sleeping with each other. And not the kind of sleep you think.
“Tammy, you’re an adult. If you want to sleep with Viper, I’m not going to tell you no. I’m not mom or dad. But I just want you to be careful. You were pissed at Viper earlier, and then you slept with him. I’m just worried about you.”
Tammy walks up to me and gives me a sisterly hug, “I know, Alison, thank you for caring for me, but everything will be fine, we worked some things out.”
Tammy heads to bed after our talk. My eyes start to feel heavy; I decide to head back to bed. I can’t wait to hear from Ace. Hopefully, I’m not wrong by giving him a chance.
A Week Later…
The alarm clock is ringing in my ear, groaning as I wake up, another day of work. I haven’t heard from Ace since the night I left the clubhouse. I’m so confused; did I get mixed signals from what he wanted? Or am I just thinking too much about it? I’m not going to dwell on it. My world shouldn’t revolve around him.
I was my own person before I met him, and I am not going to be one of those girls that will follow the guy around like a little lost puppy dog. No way. Shaking my head, I head to the bathroom to jump in the shower before I head to work.
Tammy is already gone and doing God knows what, she doesn’t work today, she has the night off.
I don’t think I would be able to do her job that is for sure, she works at a strip club called ‘The Bare Essentials’ and yeah, I know, the name is original. She doesn’t strip though, she’s a waitress there. She would never get undressed in front of a bunch of men. But still being around all those naked women and the men that are hands on with the grabbing and touching.
/>
No thanks, I wouldn’t be able to work there all the time like my sister does, but it pays very well she says, I’m just going to have to take her word for it.
I check my phone once again to see if Ace has texted me, and nothing. Frustrated, I shove my phone in my purse. Hopping into my car, I turn the radio on and “Cheap Thrills” by Sia is playing. I love this song. I need a night out, to distract me from thinking about Ace, a night of dancing and drinking.
As I pull into work, I park my car in my usual spot. I head into the diner; Joe is nowhere to be seen.
Maureen is working at the cash register. A new girl starts today, I’m pretty sure her name is Sarah. She’s around my age.
Getting my apron on and notepad, I’m ready to get to work. Work is pretty quiet till lunch hour hits, and then the place gets packed. I’m getting people's orders down, and bringing them out as fast as they come in.
Joe finally shows up and heads to his office in the back. He comes out for a couple of minutes and talks to George quick and then turns to me.
“Hey Alison, can you come to my office?” Oh crap, what did I do? Did I forget something?
“Sure, no problem, be right there.” Heading to Joe’s Office, I knock on the door.
Joe yells, “Come in,” Turning the handle, pushing the door open, I close the door and sit on the chair in front of his desk.
Joe is looking at a sheet on his desk and then looks up at me and smiles, “Alison, I was wondering if you and Tammy would like to get out, there’s a new club opening tonight in town? I thought after this week, we all need to head out and have a good time.”
“Club Edge, if I recall the name of the club. It’s just opening tonight, and it’s going to be huge.” He shoots out.
“Sure, I’m sure Tammy will be up for it. I would love to go; I was just thinking of doing something tonight this morning.”
Joe smiles wide, “Great, so it’s settled. Would you like me to meet you and Tammy there or should I pick you guys up?”
