removing her finger and her mouth from me. I lay there breathing heavily and covered in a sheen of sweat. By the time I’ve recovered she’s moved off the bed. I wait, expecting her to make a move towards me, but all I hear is the rustle of material again. Her fingers brush my face and she press my cheek away from her roughly, yanking on the knot of the scarf. The material falls away from my face and I blink against the sudden light. She’s standing over me, and again, she’s fully dressed. She releases my wrists and I rub over the imprint left on my skin, sitting up on the edge of the bed.
Turning away she picks up her hand bag. “Melanie.”
She pauses, throwing a glance over her shoulder. “Is uh, is there nothing I can do for you?” It seems kind of backwards.
For the first time, I see a smile pull at the corner of her lips. She turns around fully to face me and props her hands on her hips. “This isn’t about who comes.” She steps closer to me. “This is about power and control, and I have it.” She reaches out and traces her finger over my lower lip.
“That’s it?”
She smirks, dropping her eyes to my lips. “Oh, Kaden. My particular fantasy involves so much more, but you’ll see.” She turns and leaves, and I’m no closer to working out what the hell she wants.
The next day I pull up outside Thor’s earlier than usual. I’m not at the hospital today, so I plan to go to work out before I have to go see Penelope later. As soon as I step into the living area at the agency, Cora pushes off the sofa, storming over to me with her arms folded over her chest.
“Finally. I thought you’d forgotten.” She huffs. Maddox is frantically making a slashing motion across his neck behind her.
“Uh, forgotten what?” He rolls his eyes and shakes his head.
“Hey, kid, I hear you bagged a cougar.” He talks over her. “Hot!”
She huffs loudly and turns around to face him, judging by the way he smirks, she’s looking at him like she’s about to cut him. He’s sick and he gets off on that shit. She turns back to me and I recoil at the violent expression on her face. She taps her foot on the floor and I can’t help but think it reminds me of a rattlesnake shaking its tail. That can’t be good right? Without warning she smacks me on the side of the head. “I booked you!” She shouts. “You’re my voyeur!” She throws her hands in the air and flicks her long caramel hair over her shoulder.
“For when?”
“Now!” She screeches. I notice Maddox stealthily slip away into the office.
“Like, now?”
“Yes! Now, right now.” She shakes her head and shoves her hand in her handbag. “I don’t care if you’ve just come straight from a client. I want shooting fucking spunk, do you hear me?!” She jabs a finger in my chest and I can hear the roar of laughter in the office from here. Arseholes, the lot of them. She holds her closed fist out to me and takes my hand, placing two little blue pills on my palm. “Projectile. Shooting.” She mouths.
I sigh and pick my car keys up off the kitchen side. She grabs my shoulders and steers me towards the door. “What exactly am I supposed to be doing again?”
“Watching. No touching.”
“And shooting spunk?”
“Yes. Ashley likes girls, but she has a thing for shooting, squirting anything. There’s only so much reach my vagina has. She’s experimental.” She says the whole thing off handedly, meanwhile I’m picturing squirting pussy and…other things.
I push the button on the key fob and the locks on my car click open. I jump in the driver’s side. Cora hops in, crossing one leg over the other. Her dress rides up her thigh a little, and I wonder if the move was deliberate. It is Cora after all. Some women are sexy, while others – well, a distinct few- wear sex and sensuality like a second skin. Cora lives and breathes sex. I think it’s so ingrained in her, she can’t even switch it off any more. It’s fine,
