Rule Breakers (Off Limits #2) - Nicky James Page 0,47
want us tested. I want exclusivity. Those are my rules. My demands.”
“And if Eddy and I aren’t willing to play with each other just yet?”
The addition of the words just yet gave me hope. “That’s okay. I can agree with that. I can even understand it to a point. As long as you’re both there participating in other ways and keep an open mind about the future.”
“Then I can agree to your conditions. And FYI, not that it’s any of your business, I haven’t fucked a stripper in six months. I’m not the slut you take me for, asshole. We’ll talk to Eddy. I don’t even pretend to know what’s going on with him beyond the four walls of the house. You want a commitment and long-term, and I’m not sure a twenty-year-old can make those promises.”
“Okay. We can ask.”
“Okay. Now eat your goddamn food before it gets cold.”
I tucked in, but my mind was far away, planning the near future and all the things I’d been too scared to wish for. Harley cleared his plate and pushed it back. I felt the heat of his attention without meeting his eyes.
“Should I come by tonight after work?”
My stomach fluttered at the implication. “We should make sure Edison agrees to my terms first.”
“Fine.” Harley pulled out his phone, tapped a message to Edison, then laid it on the table between us.
I read upside down.
Harley: Exclusivity and STD tests or no deal. Den wants this to be more permanent than one night of fun. You in?
Edison lived on his phone, so I wasn’t shocked when his response popped up a second later.
Edison: I’m in.
Harley waved a hand at his phone. “There you go. Should I come by after work tonight?”
“Yeah.”
With a cunning smile, he tucked his phone away. “Don’t start without me.”
“Don’t linger at work too long.”
The waiter came by, and Harley asked him to box up the remainder of the food. He paid the bill, and we walked outside together. I’d parked farther down the street, so we stopped at Harley’s car. He handed me the plastic bag with the leftovers. “Make sure the kid’s well fed. He’ll need his energy.”
I chuckled, taking the bag. “He’s twenty, Har. We’re the ones in danger of running out of steam first.”
“Speak for yourself.” He glanced around, then dragged me in by the back of the neck and kissed me. The lick of his tongue, demanding and intoxicating, took my breath away. I groaned, pressing back against his demanding mouth and asserting myself more than I’d ever done in the past. Harley growled, clearly not objecting.
We came apart, and it was my turn to glance around. “That was either really brave or really stupid of us. I can’t decide.”
“It’s a big city. Fuck it. No one knows us.”
“Someone could.”
“Then it would give them something to talk about, wouldn’t it?”
I smiled at his amused tone. “Where was this Harley hiding? I missed him.”
He leaned his head against mine, our breaths steaming and mixing together in the cool evening air. “I missed him too. Do me a favor?”
“Anything.”
“I’m withdrawing my ‘Don’t start without me’ comment. Go home and take care of my son. Let him come once before I get there. Take the edge off, or he’ll probably drive us insane.”
“That’s another rule we should talk about.”
Harley rolled his eyes, not unlike the way Edison did when he was annoyed. “You and your fucking rules. What now?”
I kissed him that time, lapping at his tongue and delving deeper into his mouth. Harley snagged my hips and dragged me closer until our bodies were aligned. It was borderline erotic, and I was getting hard right there on the dark street. “Can this kind of thing happen when it’s not all three of us together, or do we always have to be a trio?”
“I just told you to go make him come. Doesn’t that answer your question?”
“You don’t speak for all of us. What if I feel differently? Or Edison.”
“You’re being difficult.”
“Always am. It’s just something to consider.”
Harley chuckled and nipped my lip. “Fine. We’ll talk about it later, okay? For tonight, consider this a pass. Please go take the edge off my horny teenage son so I don’t murder him for being obnoxious later.”
“He’s not a teenager.”
“Close enough. I’ll see you later, yeah?”
“Yeah.”
Harley planted one last lingering kiss on my mouth, biting my lip and making it sting before he rounded his car and got in. I watched him drive away, the taste of him still fresh
