“Is that why you like this so much?”he asked, softly.He didn’t want to startle her.
“What do you mean?”She turned to look at his face, as if she could read his intent by the look on his face.
“The way these three stand together over anything.If something comes for one, they are all there helping.Is that why you like them so much?”
She stared at him for a long moment then blinked several times, as if needing to catch up for having been so deep in thought, she’d forgotten to blink.
“I never thought about like that.”She turned and looked at the TV again.“I can’t say you’re wrong.Not entirely right, mind you, but not wrong.”
“Then what else is it?”he asked.
“I don’t know.”
He lifted his head and looked at her, his head tilted as he tried to figure out if she was being evasive or if she really didn’t know.
“Don’t look at me like that.I really don’t know.”She glanced at him then turned back to the TV.“I didn’t even know that was part of it until you pointed it out.Watch the rest of the movies with me and see what you think.”
He watched her for a few more seconds as he thought about it then decided she was likely right.Besides, if he pushed too hard, either about her love for the movies or anything else, she might decide she didn’t want him there, on the bed with her like this, and he couldn’t think of anywhere he’d rather be or anyone he’d rather be with right here, right now.He didn’t even care that they were watching some kids’ movie.He wouldn’t have cared if she turned on some fluffy chick shit on TV ...what were they talking about these days?Was it one of those bachelor shows?Honestly, he didn’t know what was on, as he rarely watched anything more than a movie here and there or a few minutes of whatever game they had on the TVs in the main room.But if Andy would sit with him like this, then he would sit through anything she wanted to see.
He wondered about that for a minute.Surely it meant something, but he didn’t want to look too closely at what.
When the credits rolled on the third movie, Dagger lay there for a few minutes, wondering what Andy would want to do.It was almost noon.He didn’t know her well enough to know where to start when it came to predicting her wants.
“What now?”she asked without moving.
“What do you want to do?”he asked back.“Do you want to start the next movie?”
She shook her head but didn’t say anything for a moment, then she started wiggling, she moved away from him at first then twisted.It took a moment for him to realize she was rolling over.She must want to face him for whatever she wanted to say.
“Do you have a girlfriend?”she asked.
He frowned down at her, wondering where this had come from.There had to be a reason she was asking, but he didn’t know what it was or where she was going with this.
“No.Why?”
“Curious.You a regular with any of the chippies downstairs?”
He lifted one brow as he looked down at her.“Chippies?I don’t think I’ve heard that term in a while.”He couldn’t help the soft chuckle that escaped.
She shot him an unhappy look.“You know what I mean.“
“I do.We call them mamas.They’re here for any who want to make use of them.I’m not sure why you’re asking, but I’m not going to lie to you, Sparky.I’ve fucked most of them and those I haven’t fucked have had my cock down their throat.”He wasn’t sure where she was going with this, but he wouldn’t start whatever this was, wherever she was going, with lies.He may not be able to tell her everything, but he wouldn’t lie to her.
Andy pulled a face he wasn’t sure how to interpret, but suspected was distaste.“I asked,” she muttered to herself before looking back up at him.
Dagger didn’t say anything, not yet.Instead, he lay with his head propped in one hand as he watched her only a few inches in front of him and stretched out the length of his body.It would be so easy to catch her around the waist and hold her still as he rolled over her.As he covered that hot little mouth of hers with his lips.He could feel the heat of her body against his and fought the urge to roll his hips, to press his erection into her belly and let her know exactly what she did to him.
The feel of her hand on his chest, just resting there, not pushing, brought him back to the present, where Andy still lay inches away.
“Where did you go just now?”She tilted her head back and watched him.
“Just thinking.”
“About?”
“About something I shouldn’t.I can’t tell you.Not now, probably not ever.”Would he ever admit that he wanted to bury himself balls deep in one of his brothers’ little sisters?Fuck no.That would be an excellent way to get his ass kicked.No, he would keep his hands to himself, no matter how tempting she might be.
He wasn’t expecting her to lean in, to close the distance between them and to kiss him.Dagger froze.He cupped her waist with one hand as he let her move against him, but he didn’t push her away.He wanted this so badly.He might not make the move, but he didn’t have the will to put a stop to what he wanted and was being dropped in his lap.
