But it was what she needed so he called, “Butterfly.”
She focused on him and he tossed her his shirt.
Just like Carrie, she bobbled it and it dropped to the couch but she caught it up and looked to him.
“Thanks, sweetie.”
He grinned then when she started to bunch up his tee to put it on, he went to the bathroom to take care of business.
He came back out and didn’t delay in claiming her and getting her where he wanted her for what he decided between fucking and bathroom needed to happen next.
Which meant he got her in his tee on her back on the couch with him on top. Then he reached out to the remote and switched off the TV.
After that, he planted his forearms in the cushions and framed her head in his hands.
“First up, you on the Pill?” he began.
She blinked then shook her head. “No.”
“Why?”
“Well, uh…I didn’t need it.”
“Got dick in your bed that likes your pussy so that’s past tense,” he pointed out the very obvious then suggested what was really a demand, “Let’s get on that.”
“It’s a co-pay,” she said quietly.
“Say again?” he asked.
“I have insurance. Aaron insures Travis so it’s not that bad but I picked the plan that costs me the least and any prescription has a pretty hefty co-pay so—”
“Carrie, I’d offer to pay but that would mess with you so just sayin’, no attorney’s fees means you can probably take on a co-pay. Then your man can get tested. I come up clean then I can take you with nothin’ in between.”
Her eyes grew wide and she whispered, “Oh.”
She wanted that.
“So let’s get on that, yeah?” he demanded on a request.
She nodded.
“Right, how about you do that without delay,” he said.
Her mouth quirked and she nodded again.
That was done.
Next.
“Okay, second,” he started. “I hesitate to bring him up after the hot, sweet piece of ass you just offered up to me, how much I liked it, and that ass being bare right now and all you’re wearin’ is my tee, and I like that too, but did your ex ever take you there?”
“Take me…” she hesitated, her head tilting on the cushion, “where?”
“There, Carrie, there,” Joker replied. “He go the distance? Make you come?”
He watched her expression go guarded even as pink slid into her cheeks, but pure Carissa, she still gave it to him.
“Sometimes, after, he’d give me the time.”
Fucking shit.
“Not during?”
“I didn’t…I wasn’t…” she swallowed. “You’re better.”
“No shit,” he returned. “But not once?”
She slid her hand up his back to between his shoulder blades. “What I mean is, you’re better with me. You, well…bring it out in me.”
He shook his head. “No, Carissa, you got it and you let it loose and give it to me. You had it with him. He just didn’t take care of that. Some guys are selfish and they’re all about their dicks. Trust me, you are a seriously hot fuck. It takes almost no effort at all to read that and roll with it. The fact that motherfucker didn’t even try to make that effort pisses me off.”
She looked confused.
Adorably confused.
But he was pissed at her fucking ex, so seeing it, he found there was one time when her being adorable didn’t cut through his anger.
“I would…well, sweetheart, wouldn’t you actually like that you give me something he didn’t?” she asked.
“No, because it means you didn’t have it, for fuckin’ years, which sucks for you, and I don’t like anything that sucks for you. Not to mention you keep beggin’ me not to stop, when no way I would until I got you there.”
Her face closed down and her voice was whipped when she said, “I’ll quit doing that.”
She took that wrong, so he pressed into the side of her head with one hand.
“No, Carrie. You do what comes natural. Not complainin’ that you beg ’cause you want me to keep at you. That’s hot too. Any man would want you naked, wet, panting, and begging for more. They’d be insane not to. That’s my point. Any man would be insane not to, and if they’re any man at all, they got that, they give it and not get off and sometimes give it back after. That shit’s fucked. But in the now, I gotta know what I got on my hands. I thought I understood where that came from but now it’s certain. And it pisses me off.”
She started stroking his spine as she noted cautiously, “I
