That’s about to change right now.

“I’m going to finger fuck you now until you are either calling out my name or that of a god who cannot help you.”

I circle her clit between two of my fingers, and her eyes roll into the back of her head, causing her to bite back a moan with her bottom lip between her teeth. It’s written all over her face that she wants this but is afraid of what anyone might hear beyond the cubicle’s curtain.

“Do you understand, Siren?”

Dipping my fingers a little bit lower, I tease her opening. She moves toward me, hips thrusting, inviting me in.

“Yes. Please, Blaze. Just—”

I don’t let her finish, shoving two fingers deep into her. Herbrows crease together, and her mouth forms around an ‘oh’ at the intrusion. I get off on knowing she is just as hungry for me as I am for her.

Her chest is rising and falling in little silent pants of need. Keeping my fingers motionless inside her, I feel her stretch and contract around them, her pussy trying to pull me in deeper.

Releasing her wrists, I grip my hand tightly over her throat again, making sure she can still breathe, but barely. Leaning in, I nibble at her ear as I glide my fingers in and out of her a few times so they’re nicely coated in her juices.

She whimpers as I begin to curl my fingers inside her to massage her sweet spot of ecstasy. Her body starts to tremble in my hands before her breathing becomes erratic. I bring my thumb to her clit and circle over it while I continue touching her in a way no other man ever will again. Feeling her walls clamp down on my fingers, I bite down hard on her neck, and she comes undone, screaming out my name in a tone that’s like music to my ears. She sings such a sweet symphony.

“Fuck, Blaze.” Her body goes limp against the wall.

I give a little chuckle before bringing my mouth to her ear.

“You are so fucking stunning, Siren, especially when you come undone around my fingers. My cock, fuck, my cock is like marble, and I can’t wait to slide it into you and fuck you so hard,” I whisper before I kiss the shell of her ear. Removing my hand from her neck, I simultaneously slip my fingers from her now dripping center, bringing them to my mouth to suck her juices off them.

“But that’s going to have to wait because I’m pretty sure we’ve put on enough of a sound show that poor Tammy out there is going to go home tonight and wear her vibrator out wishing she was you.” I smile at her wickedly. Her face turns almost as red as the dress she’s wearing before she whacks my arm, glaring at me.

“I like this one a lot.” I point to the dress as I back out of the cubicle.

When I stand in front of the service counter with my arm wrapped around Lake’s waist a short time later, I press a kiss into her hair while smiling.

Tammy rings up the transaction. Her face is pink, and she avidly avoids eye contact like we are some kind of gorgon.

I notice Lake trying her hardest not to show her embarrassment as she stands there masking it in seriousness while holding back a giggle. Tammy, on the other hand, isn’t doing such a good job. She’s pretending she didn’t hear anything, although that’s impossible because my girl screamed my name so beautifully. Tammy hurriedly processes the sale of the two outfits Lake decided on before handing her the receipt while keeping her head down.

“Thanks for your help, Tammy,” I say obnoxiously loud and sarcastically, a huge grin on my face. She nods once, eyes still diverted down.

Exiting the store and feeling hungry in more ways than one, I look over at Lake, who has now let the laughter spill from her.

“Now food?”

“Now food,” she agrees.

Chapter Thirty

Lake

Sitting in a bay window at the very same burger place we went to when Blaze was released from prison, I bask in the warmth of the late afternoon sun streaming in on us. I’ve always loved the sun, but lately, it’s been too windy to hit the beach. Sitting here now, though, in the warmth magnified by the big glass pane, I feel the stress that has come with opening the speakeasy melting away.

I open my eyes and find Blaze sitting across from me, a gentle smile on his face, slightly shaking his head.

“What? It’s been so long since I’ve been able to sit in the sun’s warmth and actually absorb and enjoy it. It feels nice,” I defend myself, explaining why I might look like a total fool right now. “The company’s not too bad either.” I wink at him.

“I was just admiring how truly beautiful you are, inside and out, Lake.” He doesn’t fall for my little light-hearted jab.

“I was thinking, too, while you were taking six hours to find two outfits,” he says with a serious face, but I don’t miss the corner of his mouth twitch up a little. I roll my eyes back at him. I won’t fall for his jab either. “I want to make sure you’re protected around the clock, Lake.”

“That’s what the shooting practice is for,” I say, partly joking but also knowing that carrying a firearm is not a fail-safe. It won’t be able to protect meallthe time either, and in some circumstances, it just might not be possible.
