Zeev squeezes my shoulder. "Don’t worry. Blanche and I have your back. You're my family and now Amber is too.”
“Thanks, man. She needs people. When we were kids, she was always the more social one. And now she only has that guy Paul and possibly a girl named Ella. She’s only mentioned her in passing, but Paul seems to be everywhere. And between you and me, something doesn’t seem right.”
“Don’t worry. If he’s hiding something, we’ll find it.”
I don’t say anything. We spent hours looking for something on Paul and we found nothing. I’ll have to keep my eye out. I won’t allow anyone to hurt my woman, no matter what.
As I make that silent vow to myself, the women come back into the room. My eyes connect with Amber’s and a shiver runs through my body. She’s looking lighter than when we first came here.
Seeing the light in her eyes brighten helps me relax. My emotions have been connected to hers since that first day in the driveway. Which is why I’ve always felt like something was missing. Now that I’ve found her again I feel whole. It’s time to take her home and remind her that she belongs right next to me.
I put my hand out to take hers and I ask, “You ready to go?”
“Yes,” she answers with no hesitation.
“Zeev and I will walk you out,” Blanche says as she leads us to the front door.
Once we get to the door, Zeev grabs my shoulder pulling my attention back to him, “I’m happy that you’ve found her. You seem better.”
“Thanks, man.” Then I turn to look at Amber, who is hugging Blanche. Blanche whispers something in her ear and my sunshine smiles at her nodding. A warmth fills my chest. My girl and my family are becoming one.
We head back to the city. I’m ready to get us back to my apartment which will soon be our apartment. I’m going to strip her down, kiss her mouth, down her stomach, and make my way down her perfect body. When I reach between her thighs, I’ll take my time, kissing her clit until she’s screaming my name.
I adjust myself. “I forgot to tell you that I have to work tonight,” Amber says, interrupting my thoughts.
I turn to look at her. “Are you sure that’s a good idea?”
Her eyes harden with my question, but I’m not backing down. “Why wouldn’t it be a good idea?” she snaps at me.
“Well, you’ve had some panic attacks recently. I just want to make sure that you are okay, sunshine.”
Her body softens a tiny bit with the nickname, but not enough to think I’m going to win this, especially with her harsh tone, “I’m fine. I need to work, Jake.”
I put my hand on hers, “I get it. But I’ll be there with you.”
She shakes her head, “Jake, I don't need you there. I can handle myself.”
“Sunshine, either I’m there or I’m going to lock you up and never let you go.”
“Okay. Okay. You can come, just stay out of my way,” she says with what sounds like relief in her voice. Why is she fighting me so hard if she feels safer with me there?
“Got it,” I say. As I turn my focus back to the road, I try not to think about why Amber might not feel safe. It doesn’t matter because I’m going to be there.
I’m deep into my ideas about how to keep Amber safe when a small hand starts to make its way up my thigh.
“What are you doing, baby?”
“I’m going to show you how grateful I am for taking care of me.”
“You don’t have to thank me. I’ll always take care of you.”
“I know and I love you for it,” she replies as she glides the zipper on my jeans. Before I can say anything else, she’s released my cock from its confines. She leans forward and gives it a small kiss on the tip, sending trembles up my spine.
“Jake, tell me what you like.”
“Wrap your hand around the base, then slide your luscious lips down my cock.”
She does exactly as I say, “Shit, that feels so good baby.”
