cheeks. The idea that he’s rejecting me hits me hard. I know it shouldn’t bother me, but it does.
“Stay.”
That one word that comes from his mouth startles me. I shake my head. He just said that he couldn’t.
“Sleep. That’s all we’re doin’.”
Chapter 5
VIKING
I don’t know how long I laid awake with a raging hard on before I was finally able to fall asleep. I swear I thought my dick would explode at any second just from having her small frame wrapped up in my arms. I couldn’t breathe with her near me. The smell of her hair, her skin, and the alcohol on her breath. Fuck she had me in knots just like she does right now. Her long, dark hair is spread out over my naked chest covering all of my tattoos. Her soft breaths tickle my skin with every exhale. The more she breathes, the harder I get.
I roll my head to the side and check the clock. I know I need to wake her up and get her out of my room before the guys start showing up, but she feels too good pressed against me. Slowly I roll her off me and onto her back. I nuzzle my face into her neck and inhale that heavenly scent of hers. I start pressing kisses along her neck and stop at her throat as she starts to stir. I pull back and watch as those pretty brown eyes of hers open up and lock onto me.
“Mornin’,” I tell her softly.
Her eyes are huge which makes me wonder how fucked up she really was last night. I can’t suppress the chuckle that rips out of me before I move to climb off of the bed.
“Don’t look so fuckin’ shocked. We didn’t do shit Carnie.”
Why does that piss me off? Why would her thinking we did bother me? Oh wait, I know. It was the look of fucking regret that was plastered all over her face. If I had actually fucked her she would have regretted it all. Glad I saw that fucking look before we actually did do something. Now I know to keep my hands to myself with this one.
“I’m sorry. It’s all kind of hazy,” she says.
I grab my jeans and pull them on quickly before my t-shit follows suit. I slip my cut up my arms and onto my shoulders. I grab my boots and drop into the chair. As I tug them on I tell her, “You might wanna run to your room before the guys come in. Don’t want them thinkin’ anything.” With my boots now on I stand back up and stretch my back out. Carnie watches me, but doesn’t make any attempt to move. “You hear me?”
“You’re kicking me out of your room?” she asks playfully.
“Pretty much yeah.”
I watch as her smile slowly fades. She throws the sheet back and climbs out of the bed quickly. I take in her body as she storms through the room and grabs her shoes. It’s kind of cute watching her all flustered.
“I can’t believe I actually talked to you and now you’re throwing me out,” she yells as she puts her shoes on.
“Well believe it.”
I grab the cigarettes off of the nightstand and light one up.
Her eyes are on fire when I catch her looking at me.
“I poured my fucking guts out to you, and this is what I get?”
Fuck me. This is why getting involved with younger bitches doesn’t work for me.
“What did you expect? A goddamn tiara? You want some sort of prize? I ain’t got shit to give you Carnie. I listened didn’t I?” I snap at her.
Her mouth snaps open and then she snaps it closed. “I am such a fuck up. Why can I never learn to see when a man is full of shit?” She watches me a second longer, but when I don’t answer her she spins on her heel and walks out of my room. She slams the door behind her. I shake my head once more.
“Way to go fucker,” I mumble to myself.
I grab my cellphone off my dresser, stuff it in my pocket, and head into the main room. Tink is sitting by the bar with her long hair in a braid down her back. Walking up behind her I grab it and pull her head back. She smiles up at me before I kiss her. I’m so goddamn frustrated with myself and I need to take it out on someone. Moving to her neck,
