“I can see why you would say that, but you know I’d never forget you. I’m really proud of your success, Karessa, and anything I’ve done was with your best interest at heart.”
“I really want to say thank you for having my best interest as your first priority, but I can’t. You always think you know what’s best for everyone, but newsflash, other people involved should have a say.” She gave a wobbly smile but stiffened her lips and continued to eat.
“If I were a gentleman I wouldn’t call foul on something you said just now, but we both know I’m no gentleman. There has always been and there will always be sexual chemistry between us. You don’t have to admit it to me, but I can feel it. Our bodies respond to each other like a spark and paper.”
“Who gets to be paper?” she asked.
He looked over at her and was rewarded with a smile. This is the way they used to get along. He would say something, and she would fuss...he missed her questions and snappy retorts more than she’d ever believe.
“I disagree. What happened back there was the shock of being tied up, and then released by a person I was not expecting to see.”
“It’s been a while, but I know how your body responds to me. I was starting to smell the sweet scent that accompanies your pussy getting slick. Your nipples were almost begging me to taste them, but if you want to believe that’s not what was happening…that’s fine with me.” He picked up his bottle before realizing that there was almost nothing left in the bottle to cool him down, but he tipped up the bottle to his mouth anyway.
“What we had was so long ago we’ve probably just built it up in our minds as something spectacular. You’ve gone through who knows how many women since I’ve seen you last?”
“And that means?” Under normal circumstances he’d have let that go. He didn’t have to prove or explain what he did with other women to anyone and he didn’t care what people thought. At least he didn’t before this, but there was no way he was going to let Karessa get away with what she was thinking…especially since this was the second time she’d said something like this.
“What we had has been lost in the time warp…it now means nothing.” She shrugged like what she was saying was just a casual observation, but he watched her pull herself back from her slight lean toward him and stare at her plate, as if the answers to all the problems in the world could be found there.
“No one has ever compared to you, Karessa.” He didn’t want to get into all that right now, but there was no way he was going to let her think she was just another woman. She deserved to know that, at least.
“You must have authored the wet panties manual since I’ve been away. You actually sound pretty sincere. I don’t remember you being this poetic.” She rolled her eyes like she heard bullshit like this all the time, and she wanted to keep it light.
“Are your panties wet, Karessa?” His voice dropped a few octaves. He’d been in different stages of arousal since he’d first got a whiff of her, as was evident by the half chub he’d been sporting this whole time. Her left brow lifted and he expected she was going to reach into her smart ass box for a retort.
“Why don’t you check for yourself?”
He chuckled as he was reminded of the soft-spoken girl she used to be. She had always been the picture of sweet loveliness, but it was deceptive. Karessa wouldn’t back down from a challenge, and he could see in her eyes that was what she considered him.
“I owed True a favor, and she called it in tonight, but I don’t think she would make you stay if you didn’t want to.” Beau didn’t really want to give her an out but he figured it was the gentlemanly thing to do. Maybe that was why this gesture felt so foreign, because he didn’t think he’d ever even pretended to be a gentleman. The slight snort from across the table shook him from his thoughts.
“I owed True a favor too. How do you think she convinced me to be tied up and blindfolded in the middle of the bed?”
They looked at each other and laughed in earnest. He’d missed this. He knew he missed her curvy body, her passionate sex drive and her breathy moans for more when her orgasm was closing in on her, but he’d somehow forgotten just how much he liked to spend time with her, laughing, talking, and just playing around.
“True is something else,” she said, lifting her drink. “To True.”
“To True,” he replied and clinked his glass bottle to her plastic one.
They cleaned up the little kitchenette like they’d been doing it every night for the last fifty years. The easy camaraderie and conversation went from the Haught Line she’d created for the wedding to questions about the Haught Spot and his brothers.
Leading her back to the quasi-bedroom lit with simulated candles, he tried the voice-activated system. “Fifty percent,” he called out and watched the room dim around them.
“You’re a quick study, huh?” Karessa stared at him like she didn’t know what to do next.
“Are you ready for your panty check, Karessa?”
