“I don’t like her, Jason. I have to be honest with you and don’t give a damn whether you like it or not. Is there something going on between you and that cow, that neither your brother nor I know about,” Emma asked.
“Calm down, Emma-Jay. I’m getting a little tired of your whining, and please don’t call Serenity a cow. She may be thicker than you but trust me, she isn’t any less beautiful. As a matter of fact, some men absolutely love a woman with a little extra meat on their bones.”
“Why are you defending her? And you haven’t answered my question, anyway.”
“I would defend any lady getting labeled as a cow. Women are one of the greatest creatures on this earth. I wasn’t raised to call women out of their names and I damn well won’t stand for someone that I am dating to do it. Is that understood?”
I be damned if I was going to let Emma-Jay belittle Serenity in that fashion. Her question didn’t deserve an answer after coming at me in that half-assed manner. She wasn’t ready for my truth. My truth would leave her devastated and heartbroken. I decided to leave well enough alone and be the gentleman I try to be at all times. So, I made it my gentlemanly duty to placate her and soothe her stormy mood.
“Come here, babe,” I reached and pulled her into my embrace. “I want you to be nice to my brother’s girlfriend.” I put emphases on the words “brother’s girlfriend”. “I don’t want you being rude to her in any shape or form, but most of all, I don’t want you throwing these unwarranted accusations around. Do you get what I am saying?”
“I understand fully,” she said with pouting lips, as if she fully expected me to place a kiss upon her lips. But I didn’t. She pouted some more before she spoke again. “Whether you admit it or not, something is going on between you and Serenity Champagne. I will go along with your answer for now, Jason, but I am not playing second fiddle to that woman,” she added in a hurtful tone of voice. “You can’t do any better than me and you most definitely won’t get as great of a head job as I give you from anyone else,” she stated with confidence.
I knew she knew her head game was on point. That’s why I came back for more of the same. I knew better than to voice this aloud to her or she would definitely use it to her advantage.
“Are you all packed up for the trip? Because we leave on Friday morning,” I asked her to change the subject.
“Yes, I am. I cannot wait until you see my dress for the grand opening. You won’t be able to keep your hands or eyes off of me.”
“I’m sure I won’t,” I lied. Who was I kidding? I knew without a doubt that my eyes would be all over Serenity like cheese on macaroni. “Now, why don’t you run along so that I can finish up all of these contracts before the trip?” I placed a brief kiss upon her fiery red hair before returning to my desk.
I saw the disappointed look in her blue eyes, but too many other things were on my mind right now…like how I could be around Serenity for a whole weekend without wanting to touch her or kiss her? How was I going to control how I desired to be inside her? I wanted—no, I needed to feel her hot pussy wrapped around my throbbing cock once again.
God knows that I didn’t want to hurt my brother. I didn’t want to hurt Emma-Jay, either, but she had caught more feelings for me than I’d intended. I needed to handle her after the trip, but right now wasn’t the time.
“Bye, Jason, I’ll see you later,” Emma stood in the same spot with an expectant look on her beautiful face.
I looked up, startled, all but forgetting that she was still standing in the same spot that I had left her in. Her eyes were narrowed as if daring me to deny her. “Of course, I will touch bases with you later,” I added a smile to soften my tone.
She walked out of my office without another word. My heart was heavy, as I sorted through the endless pile of paperwork to be completed. I had stayed late in the office because Jon was always eager to end his work day to get home to Serenity. What man in their right mind wouldn’t be eager to get home to her? She was everything that a man wanted or needed in a woman. She was full of passion and love and she was so temptingly sweet in more ways than one.
Even if she belonged to my brother, I still wanted to quench my thirst between her luscious thighs. I wanted to partake of her flavor again and again until my dying day. It was no use; I wasn’t accomplishing getting any work done. I needed a good workout in the gym to work out my frustrations of wanting to make love to my brother’s woman. Sweet Serenity… a woman that I knew that could never be mine in this lifetime…
