Page 22 of The Naughty One
Octavia was a delightful mix of typical teenager and nerdy geek. She reminded Artemis both of Juno with her confidence and Romy in her dark looks. She told Octavia that and the young woman smiled. “Dad said the same thing. He’s always talked about the Sassy Sasse Sisters—you’re almost legendary in ourhouse.”
“Really?” Artemis was absurdly flattered and Dan rolled hiseyes.
“Way to ruin my game,kiddo.”
Octavia chuckled. “Sorry, Pa, but it’s the truth. I’d love to meet yoursisters.”
“We can arrange that, though Juno is leaving for New Orleans soon. Romy is still here, though, at thehospital.”
They chatted easily for an hour then Octavia got up. She kissed Artemis’s cheek. “Sorry I have to cut and run, but I have studygroup.”
Her father coughed something which sounded suspiciously like ‘geek.’ Octavia grinned. “I am what you made me. Bye, Missy, I hope we see each other again soon. Pa, I’ll probably stay over at Gail’s tonight, so don’t waitup.”
“Just text me if youare.”
“Will do. Bye.” And she wasgone.
Artemis grinned at Dan. “She’sgreat.”
Dan grinned, delighted. “I know, she’s a good kid. I think you have herapproval.”
“Ha, I hope so.” Artemis met his gaze and held it, blushing furiously, but Dan, his dark eyes twinkling, smiled in a way that made her stomachflutter.
“Missy?”
“Yes?” Her heart was beating out of her chest and she feltbreathless.
“I’m gonna kiss you now.” Dan leaned over and brushed her lips with his, lightly, before the kiss deepened and went on for a long moment. Artemis sank into his embrace, feeling his hands cup her face. “God, Missy, if you knew how long I’ve wanted to dothat.”
Artemis smiled. “Me too. What happensnow?”
“Well, option A … we stay here kissing all day. Option B … I take you back to my place, undress you slowly, and kiss every inch of your perfect skin, before we make love tenderly. Option C … we throw caution to the wind and fuck each other’s brains out. Feel free to mix the last two options.” He was grinning, and Artemis started tolaugh.
“Dan Helmond, I say … Option C first, then option B. Option A can gohang.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Dan had grabbed her hand and they were running towards his car. In thirty minutes they were naked in his bed, and Dan was thrusting his enormous, thick cock deep inside her as they fucked hard. Artemis threw every caution to the wind; she had an animal desire in her for this man, his huge, muscled body making her feel so small and precious, his kisses both tender andferal.
Afterwards they ordered pizza and ate it in bed, feeling like lovesick teens again. Artemis grinned at Dan’s self-satisfied expression. “Don’t think for a minute, Helmond, that I left Glen foryou.”
“Yeah, you did.” But she could tell he was joking around, and laughed. “Admit it, woman, you had to have the Dan-Dan-Man.”
“Oh, jeez, I’m leaving,” she groaned and giggled as he pulled her back into his arms and kissed her. “Marinarakisses.”
“Think I got some mozzarella action going on in my beard if you’re interested.” His smile was so wide, Artemis couldn’t help giggling until shecried.
“That’s so gross. Your seduction game is poor,Helmond.”
“You love it, MissySassy.”
She kissed him then. “I do. You may be crazy, but I’m crazy about you. If I’m honest, I’m kind of relieving a high-school fantasy rightnow.”
Dan grinned, smoothing her blonde hair back from her face. “Except this is no fantasy. This is real, Missy.” His face was serious now, but Artemis could see the love in his eyes. “I’m all in, Missy. You and me, this is all Iwant.”
Artemis sighed happily, leaning into his embrace. “Me too, big guy, metoo.”
“Stay with metonight.”
She nodded, her lips suddenly too busy to speak, and they made love again, slowly this time, exploring each other’s body, forgetting the time, long into thenight.
