When the crowd begins to move toward the bottleneck, I grip Aurei's hand tight.He smiles down at me, takes my hand, and puts it behind his back.I slide it into his back pocket, resting it on his ass.He reaches back with his other hand and hooks my arm, pulling my hand out.He tells me."I got this."He grips my wrist and pulls my hand around as he turns his back on me, then he wiggles the fingers of the first hand.
Ah!I put my empty hand in it, and he pulls me tight against his ass.I bury my nose and my tits in his back.Mmm.He smells like heaven.I lay my hands on his cock, and he covers them with his own.I can't resist.I tickle him with my fingertips, and his cock hardens.I grin wickedly at his back then bite a hunk of meat, holding it lightly between my teeth.His fingers slide between mine, then out, then in.
Damn, that's sensual.
When we begin to board, he moves my hands to his belt loops and hooks my thumbs in them.When he takes the first step forward, I sync my gait to his.When we enter the train, the pushy people seem nowhere to be found.We board without a problem, but he looks back over his shoulder and asks anyway."You ok back there, Petite Thang."
"Yes, Mr.Competent.I'm excellent."
"Now that's the right answer!"
When the train is full, the doors close, and Aurei holds on to an overhead strap, keeping us stable while I hug him.Best train ride ever.I think about his sweet words, then wonder how I ever lived without him.As the tram sways and jerks making its way back to our starting point, I keep my thumbs hooked in Aurei's belt loops.The noise has a hypnotizing effect on me, and I close my eyes, leaning on my hunk.
It's been such a perfect day.
CHAPTERTWENTY-NINE
The next thing I know, Aurei is patting my hands."Wake up, Sleepy Thang, we need to get off now."
"What?"I ask as I nuzzle him.
"It's time to get off.Are you ready?"
"Yes, I guess."
"Your gift is waiting."
"Oh!That's trickery.You know I'll wake up for that."
He laughs and calls cadence for me."Left.Right.Left."
"I'm with ya."
We exit the train the same way we boarded without incident.When we are clear, I take his hand, and we start the short walk to the bus station.The air is crisp, and the sun is low, but there is still plenty of sunshine left.We stroll along, and I swing our arms again.Life is good.
Aurei's firm voice startles me."Siri, get on the other side."He pulls my hand, and I turn it into a twirl, but I move to the other side."Stay over here."
The crispness in his delivery makes me wonder what has him on alert.I follow his eyes to a pack of punks coming toward us.They are behind several couples, but they have spotted us too and are already beginning to taunt us.I hear them shouting Americana and then laughing.I watch as the couples in front of them increase their speed and pass by us without eye contact.When our line of sight is clear, the hair on my neck stands up.There are seven guys and four girls.All dressed in black leathers and boots.They look like badass bikers without the bikes.Aurei's hand remains relaxed in mine.I glance up at him.He's one cool cat strolling along, walking like a God towards what could be an explosive opportunity.Confident, competent, and, yes, cocky.I squeeze his hand and lay my head on his arm.He looks down on me quickly, and I smile at him.He winks, then looks back at the thugs.
We stroll along, both alert but acting as if we aren't.As they draw near, I smell their body odor."What the fuck?Their funk!"I wave my hand under my nose."For the love of Zeus!They need a bath!They smell like hell warmed over!"Aurei glances at me again, and I pinch my nose."Pew!My eyes are pure watering!"He chuckles and looks back at them.He stares them down as we pass.They make fun of me making fun of them but walk by."That could have been bad."
"It ain't over yet."He says calmly.
I look back at them.Three of the guys are walking backward, watching us.I look back up at Aurei, and his demeanor is still the same, self-assured.
When we reach the end of the block, we wait for the light to change.There are only a few people waiting on the other side to cross and none standing with us.Aurei leans down to get a kiss from my lips.As he raises his eyes, he looks across the street.I notice the pilot's hawk eyes pinpoint something with the faintest of squints, and I see his wheels start to turn as his jaw sets.
The light changes and I swat at him playfully, throw my head back and dance around in front of him, holding his hand and twirling myself around, then walk backward in front of him.Smiling and laughing at his pretend words, I say, "Oh boy, that ain't good."The thugs are on the other side of the street, keeping pace with us.
"No, probably not."
"Should we make a run for it?"I ask.
He laughs."I think we have the best cardio and stamina, but we are only going one more block.The bus station is right around the corner.They know that.They'll likely try to rob us there."
"What's the plan then?"
"I'm going to put you up against the wall and stand between you and them.Hopefully, Antonio will get here before anything bad happens to anyone."He takes his phone out and texts him.
