“Princess, I don’t have to think anything. I just go with what I know is gonna happen, ‘cause it is gonna happen, baby. You just gotta relax and let what is be just what it is.”
“That doesn’t even make sense.” Jacqueline shakes her head and steps back.
My hands itch to bring her close again. It’s all I can do to keep from doing just that. Instead of giving in to the urge, I shrug. “Sure, it makes sense because it’s the truth. You want me. I want you. I’ve claimed what I wanted, and I intend to take it. You just gotta come to terms with what’s happenin’ between us.”
Jaqueline’s lips part, and her eyes go wide. “You . . . you’re serious right now.”
“Most definitely.” I pull her into me once again and claim her lips all over. I keep it brief, though, it still gets my point across. “Tonight, when it’s just the two of us, I’ll make sure you understand exactly what I’m talking about.”
Letting her go, I swat a hand over her ass and jerk my chin toward the room. “Let’s get your stuff. I’ve still got to get back to the house and discuss things with my Prez and your brother.”
Instead of arguing, she gets right to it and starts putting together several things she finds in the mess of her room in a neat pile. I go in search of a duffel bag or a suitcase, something to put her stuff in, and find one in her hall closet. Grabbing the suitcase, I take it back to her room, toss it on the bed, and open it for her.
With a mumbled ‘thank you’, Jacqueline starts putting everything into the suitcase she already gathered. I watch her move around the room and go into the en suite bathroom before I step around her bed, open the nightstand drawer, grab a couple of items out of there, and place them in her suitcase without her noticing. I intended to put them to use while I plan to do other things that will leave her begging me to do even more.
By the time Jacqueline finishes, the suitcase is slammed full, not with just clothes. She packed a blanket, one I don’t understand why she needs, but I also didn’t argue. There were also a couple books, notepads, pouches with pens, markers, pencils. Her iPad and laptop go in a separate bag that has a bunch of holes in it. She grabs a few more things to put inthe bag, including a little medicine bag that I saw her open earlier and put a birth control pack in.
At least I wasn’t gonna have to ask her about that little issue. With her being on the pill, I’d be able to fuck her bare. The thought heightens my need to be inside her. I couldn’t fucking wait.
Jacqueline zips up the suitcase, looks at me a bit nervously, and gives me a slight smile. “I think this should do it for now.”
For now?
I’m sure I’ll be coming back over here to get her more stuff for her. She packed light on the clothes, but heavy on everything else. Not that I minded the thought of her in nothing, I’m sure she’s gonna wanna be wearing more than what she’s packed. Though she can walk around in my tee and panties all the damn time if she wants to.
Grabbing the handle of her suitcase, I let her take the other bag. The two of us make our way back the way we came. Jacqueline stops in her kitchen, opens the fridge, and pulls out a pack of chocolate bars and a few other things.
“You don’t gotta take the whole fridge with you, Princess. I’ve got stuff in mine,” I say jokingly.
“I’m just getting a couple things I like, and I don’t want them to go bad or me forgetting about them,” she says, stuffing them in the bag she’s holding.
Once she’s finished, we head back over to my place. I set her suitcase down and tell her she can put her stuff in my room. I don’t want her to be in here for the conversation I’m about to have with her brother. Unfortunately, she doesn’t do as I tell her. I guess she didn’t take the hint that I was able to have a conversation with her brother she didn’t need to be apart of. Instead, she takes the one she’s carrying to the kitchen, puts stuff in the fridge, and comes back into the living room, taking my son from Viper.
To my surprise and everyone else’s, she curls up in the corner of the couch and cuddles him close.
Her eyes go straight to her brother, and she asks, “Do you know what’s going on and why my house was broken into?”
Cordova sighs and shakes his head. “We’ll find out who broke into your house, Jacqueline.”
“That doesn’t answer my question, big brother,” Jacqueline states, brows furrowing, voice calm and collected.
“Just let us handle it.”
I glance at Cordova and his gaze comes to mine. I can tell he doesn’t want to have this conversation with his sister in the room.
When he clears his throat and changes the subject, it confirms what I’m thinking.
“I’m guessing since you’re kissing my sister, andshe slept in your bed last night, that she’ll be staying with you.”
“Yeah,” I answer. “And I’ll be finding the person behind her place getting broken into.”
Cordova nods and looks down at his wrist, staring at the watch he’s wearing. “Right, then I’m leaving it in your hands. I’ve got a meeting I’ve got to get to.”
Strange that he’d want to leave for a meeting knowing this situation. Makes me wonder why he’d seem so comfortable that his sister was going to be staying with someone he doesn’t know.
Something’s up with him, and I want to know what. Though even if he did try to fight me on Jacqueline staying with me, he wouldn’t have won.
