When she refers to herself as my wife, something shifts inside me, and a deep, primal part of me weaves its way in and takes over. Having my name behind hers and having everyone know she’s mine has my dick stirring in my pants.
I hear her breath catch as I lean close to her ear so only she can hear what I’m about to say. “Once you become Mrs. Lane, I have so many things I want to do with my wife. You will be the first thing I taste on my tongue and the last thing that will ever wrap around my cock.” Her throat moves as she swallows, and my hand that’s holding hers moves to brush her center. Her legspress together, and I grin against her hair, knowing she’s getting wet for me right now.
“I will own my wife’s pussy,” I murmur softly in her ear. I press my thumb harder into her clit and hear a small gasp escape those beautiful lips. “It will be your husband’s touch that you’ll be a slave to,” I breathe against her and watch goosebumps appear on her skin. “Make no mistake, though.” My tongue darts out and quickly skims her flesh. “I’ll gladly drop to my knees and worship my wife any chance I can get.” I pull on her ear with my teeth before breaking away.
Taking a sip of my drink to hide my smirk, I watch her shift in her seat as she struggles to get herself under control. I love making her wet for me in public. If it were darker in here, I would finish what I started under the table.
She takes a big drink of wine, and I see her hand shake slightly when she sets it back down. I try to join in on the conversation around me as our friends plan out New Year’s Eve, but all my thoughts go to the girl next to me as I count down the minutes until I can taste what I know is wet and ready for me.
We are waitingon the bill when Cole’s voice stops our conversation. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” he seethes between his teeth. I follow his eyes and see a blond-haired, model-looking guy walking this way. He looks a little hesitant as he approaches the table.
“Hi, Emma. I thought that was you. I didn’t know you were back in town.”
I see Emma stiffen when she notices him. Noah immediately picks up on it and sits up straighter as he locks eyes on the guy.
“Tyler.” She nods her head at him, and there is no mistaking the dislike on her face. Noah’s fist clenches, and Travis andI both go on alert and lean forward. “We came up for the holidays.”
“What do you want, Ty?” Skye’s annoyed voice causes him to look her way.
“I just wanted to say hi and see how she was doing?”
“My wife is doing just fine.” Noah stares him down, and I see Emma place her hand on his arm. “Tyler, is it?”
He nods and glances nervously at Emma before meeting Noah’s heated stare.
“You wouldn’t happen to be the Tyler my wife was telling me about, would you? The ex-boyfriend who cheated on her while she was still grieving her parents’ death? I mean, surely that’s not you because what kind of asshole does that?”
What the fuck? He’s Emma’s ex-boyfriend? I see Sophia and Bella stare at each other wide-eyed as Skye stifles a laugh. She’s clearly enjoying how uncomfortable Tyler is right now.
“This was a bad idea. I should go,” he mutters and nervously rubs the back of his neck. He starts to leave but hesitates before meeting Emma’s eyes. “You seem happy, Emma. I’m glad you found what you were looking for.” His eyes flick to Noah’s before landing on hers again.
“I’m very happy. I have everything I’ve ever wanted.” She grabs Noah’s hand, and I see some of the tension leave his body.
I can tell Tyler wants to say more, but he wisely keeps his mouth shut and turns to go.
“Hey, Tyler,” Skye stops him, and he turns around. “How’s your nose? It only looks slightly bent from this angle, so I guess you got lucky.”
Cole chokes on his drink, and Noah chuckles softly.
Tyler touches his nose as if he’s checking to see if it’s bent, and Travis and I can’t keep the grin off our faces. He gives Skye an annoyed look before walking off and heading to the doors.
“I can’t believe you mentioned his nose, Skye,” Emma laughs.
“The asshole deserved it. I bet he will spend the next hour looking at every angle in the mirror,” she giggles.
“Okay, this I’ve got to hear. What’s up with the nose?” Sophia asks.
“That was Tyler, my ex. I walked into our apartment one day and caught him with his head between one of his coworker’s legs. I grabbed the first thing I could find when his head popped up in surprise…a hardback book sitting on the table. I threw it at him, hitting him straight in the nose. Blood sprayed everywhere, and the girl started screaming when some of it landed on her naked body.”
“It gets better,” Skye laughs, and Emma grins at Noah.
“Without knowing it at the time, it was Noah’s book that I threw at him,” she laughs.
“The irony of it all,” Skye wipes away her tears as her body shakes with laughter.
“That’s the best damn thing I’ve ever heard,” Travis chuckles.
“I hope it was the biggest one in the series,” I grin at Noah.
