Oh, we would, would we? I was slightly angry that he was in control enough to deny himself what we both wanted. “Maybe.”

His laughter followed me to the back.

Chapter 7

Brody

I watched Lulu push through the door that led to the back of the clinic, recognizing that she was annoyed. If she was half as turned on as I was, I could understand why. What had surprised me was her resistance to showing me what she wanted. I would have thought for a woman who liked sex as much as she claimed to she would have been all over me, demanding that I fuck her. Instead of the hellcat I knew she could be, I’d got the tamed down version of a woman afraid to let go of her emotions.

She didn’t know how fucking hard it had been to turn her loose. I hadn’t meant to make a move on her today, and especially here at the clinic. But now that I had, I had plans for Lulu. I’d been considering an idea that I’d had since I’d cut Lana loose the other day, a proposition that would benefit us both.

I grinned like an evil bastard.

Lulu would either accept my terms or slap me and tell me to go fuck myself.

She didn’t know it yet but she was coming home with me, and we were going to talk. And then if I had my way, I was going to fuck her until the sun came up. I could still feel the plush shape of her ass as I’d ground my dick into it. Could still feel the heavy fullness of her tits, with nipples as hard as diamonds against my palms. Hell, my dick was still hard, and I was willing to bet that if I got my hand inside Lulu’s panties, I’d find her pussy soaked.

When the door opened again Lulu stepped through with Buttercup on a leash. She met my eyes sheepishly, a hint of rose still on her cheeks. I glanced down at Buttercup and frowned. She looked nothing like the mutt I’d dropped off. “Where’s the rest of her?”

She laughed, the sound doing something unacceptable to my heart. “The rest of her is in the garbage can out back. Isn’t she beautiful?” She bent to scratch the mutt behind her ears. “You’re a good little girl too, aren’t you, baby.” Buttercup responded with a lick and rapid tail wag. “I love her already,” she said, glancing up at me.

I could tell, and the dog obviously liked Lulu. “How’s her leg?”

Lulu stood up. “Good. We should be able to take the splint off in a couple of weeks. She’s had all her shots, and none of the tests we did came back positive, so she’s surprisingly clean for a stray.”

“Great. Let’s go.” I wasn’t in the mood to stand there and discuss a dog I had no intention of keeping. Besides, I was impatient to get Lulu to my house. I turned back toward the door.

Lulu didn’t question me, but followed me out to my truck. I opened the back door and carefully scooped up Buttercup to put her on the seat. I slammed the door shut and started to walk around to the driver’s side. “Let’s go.” I expected Lulu to climb into the front seat.

“I’m not going with you,” she said, causing me to halt abruptly and face her.

“And just how do you propose to get home? You have no vehicle that I can see.”

She stood there with a stubborn look on her face.

“You and I need to talk, and we aren’t doing it here.” Still, she didn’t move. “Don’t make me come around there and put your ass in my truck, Hellcat. You won’t like it.”

She released a huff of frustration and turned back toward the clinic door. “I have to get my purse and lock up first.”

I could tell from her tone that she wasn’t happy. I grinned and climbed behind the wheel and started the engine. I stared straight ahead, wondering what the fuck I was doing. Getting involved with Lulu hadn’t been on my immediate horizon. Hell, I’d wanted to fuck a lot of women, but I hadn’t gone out of my way to pursue any of them. Lana had just happened by accident. I’d known her a long time before I’d taken her to my bed. It had been a mutually satisfying relationship that hadn’t gotten messy with emotions, until it had.

Why couldn’t women keep shit easy and uncomplicated? It occurred to me that Lulu might be the first woman I could count on that happening with. She was used to sex with no strings attached. I couldn’t wait to get the curvy little beauty under me.

Naked.

Wet.

Before I was done, screaming my name.

I caught movement out of the corner of my eye and knew that Lulu was walking to the truck. She opened the door and climbed in. She slammed the door behind her, revealing what she was feeling. Welcome to my world, baby. I was just as frustrated, though I doubted our reasons were the same. I turned just enough to see her buckling her seat belt, and then backed up to leave.

“What do you want to talk about?” she asked once we were on the main road.

I decided to be truthful. “This thing between us.”

She snorted. “There’s nothing between us.”

“Your reaction to having my hard dick pressed against your ass says otherwise.” Our eyes met briefly. “There’s something between us, Hellcat. There has been for a long damned time.”
