The Lucky Five - By Arow Jones Page 0,27

those lips around me. Her tentative tongue teasing my head. Her bright green eyes looking up at me. She kisses my shaft before sucking me deep into her hot mouth. Suck harder, baby. I pull harder on myself as I picture my finger gripping strands of her hair in my hand, guiding her mouth on me. Her hands grip my thighs. Little indents of her fingertips bite into my skin. Her moans and whimpers of satisfaction surge me on. In no time I am grunting a release crying out her name.

I leave the shower and get dressed. Not a minute later I’m thinking about her again. I’m rock hard. I’ve got to get a hold of myself. I can’t go see Lily like this. I take a couple of deep breathes before heading out into the night.

The moon is bright. I can see where I’m walking, not that I need the light. I’ve walked this path a million times before. During the summers I would wander down this path to her house. When we were younger I would see her family in the windows, cooking dinner, watching TV, laughing, and playing board games. They were close.

Later, when it was just Lily and Gramps I would go to watch Lily. I wanted to be close to her without anyone knowing. One night Gramps caught me. I could tell he knew what I’d been up to but he never said anything more than commenting on the weather or the stars. Always the stars, alignments, and fates. I didn’t know what they hell he was talking about at the time. Sometimes he would have a glass of lemonade waiting for me or a plate of cookies Lily had baked. We sat on the porch when she was asleep.

By the time Lily left for college my summer visits had become frequent daytime visits with Gramps. I wasn’t working in Boulder as often. I was close to my parents. They never mistreated me and only gave me the best but with Gramps… ah, I miss him. I can’t start that depressing shit before talking to Lily.

When I see her figure walking towards me I stop. Was she coming out to see me? Of course she was, dumb ass! Your house is the only thing at the end of this path. She’s like a night angel floating towards me. Her hair flowing in the breeze. The flowing dress and cowboy boots are so damn sexy. I have to put my hands in my pockets to keep from reaching out and touching her.

“Hey.”

“Hey, Sugar. What are doing walking out all by yourself?” Her eyes look misty. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah.” She head tilts down as she sniffs. When her head tilts back up her eyes meet me. “I was just thinking about Gramps.”

“Yeah, me too.” Her eyes go soft. I want to pull her towards me. Instead, I rub a hand down her arm. “How are you doing with all this?”

“Good. No, not really. It’s tough but I’m hanging in there. Things aren’t going as well with The Lucky Five as I thought they were. Gramps was behind on some stuff. Thank goodness I have Kenny here to bring in some business.” The mention of Kenny has my hackles up. Instinctively, I my jaw flexes. I try to relax my face before she sees it but it’s too late. She tenses.

“Yeah, about Kenny.” I try to choose my words carefully. I don’t want her to think I’m telling her what to do but I should at least warn her. It seems like she thinks of them as friends but a single guy living with a single woman can make a guy fantasize.

“Stop.” She puts a hand on my chest. “Look, I know you’re trying to be protective but I need Kenny. I need my friends. I need the extra help. Especially right now. Room, board, and experience are Kenny’s pay. Maybe next year I’ll be able to afford to pay employees but right now Kenny’s all I got.” I’m torn because what she’s saying makes sense but I’m a guy. I know how guys think. Maybe this means I still have a chance with her.

“Sugar, I just want you to be careful. Things aren’t always what they seem.” I take her hand. “Besides, you have me.” She squeezes my hand, taking a step closer.

“You are one of a kind JT. Thank you.” She presses a kiss on my cheek. Her lips press lightly but my skin burns in
