Raze
As soon asI walk out of the kitchen, I see Candy watching me even though she’s sitting on Buzz’s lap. I shake my head and walk down the hall to my room. I lock my door so Candy can’t just walk in and try anything. Within ten minutes, I’m showered and dressed in fresh clothes.
When I walk out to the main room, more of the brothers are out here. Minx and Rivet are standing by the kitchen door like they just walked out. Candy gets up from sitting with Buzz and walks in Minx’s direction with a smirk on her face. I make sure to get to Minx before Candy does.
“Hey, beautiful. Finish making your list?” I whisper in Minx’s ear as I slide my hand along her back. I pull her to me so her front is flush with mine. She places a hand on my chest and smiles up at me. She's like a missing puzzle piece, fitting perfectly in my arms.
“I did. Do you know where any of the prospects are?” she asks.
I shake my head. “Sure don’t. I’ve been in my room. We’ll find someone to go shopping for you.” I look around the room to see who’s around.
“Tech!” He’s sitting by Buzz, who has Candy on his lap again. Candy is eyeing me like I'm her next meal.Dream on, bitch.Something about that chick has always rubbed me the wrong way.
“What’s up, brother?” he asks as he walks up to us. I move Minx to my side, keeping my arm around her shoulders.
“Will you and Buzz go to the grocery store for us?” Minx asks him. If he tells her no, I might have to kick his ass. Tech looks to me, then back to Minx.
“Yeah, sure. You got a list?” he questions. She hands him their list and thanks him.
“No problem. We got you.” Tech winks at Minx, and I give him a death glare. His response is a laugh. He leaves to go get Buzz and head out.
“Can we talk now?” I ask and place a kiss on the side of Minx’s head. I want to find out what her feisty, little growl was about. But mostly, I just want her to myself again.
She pauses before responding. “Sure.”
“You’re stealing her away again?” Rivet teases.
I lift a shoulder in a shrug. “I’m greedy when it comes to this beautiful lady.”
Pink rises up Minx’s cheeks. Rivet sticks a finger in her mouth, pretending to gag and I laugh.
I take her outside, away from prying ears. We go over by the fire pit so we’re away from the front door in case anyone happens to walk out. I sit in one of the wooden Adirondack chairs and pull Minx into my lap.
“What’s going on in that pretty mind of yours, Kitty?” I brush her hair away from her neck and lightly kiss the spot above her collar bone, causing her to shiver.
“All the side dishes Rivet and I need to make for the BBQ.” My sassy girl. I lightly bite the spot I just kissed and she gasps.
“I meant more along the lines of what your little growl was about earlier.”
Her cheeks flush a shade of pink and she laughs nervously. I should make her blush more often. Her freckles are more pronounced when she does. “You heard that, huh?”
I chuckle. “Yeah, babe, I did. Want to tell me about it?”
“Umm, not really.” I give her a look. “Alright, alright. I really wanted to smash Candy’s fucking face in. I try to keep it cool because I know Pops really hates drama. I’ve never liked Candy. If that bitch thinks she can walk all over me just because the brothers like how she sucks dick, she’s got another thing coming.”
I pull her closer to me, and start kissing up her neck to her jaw, stopping at the corner of her mouth. “Kitty, she’s just trying to get under your skin. For some fucked up reason, she thinks I want her. In reality, I've never given her the time of day. Never will either.”
“Oh, Raze.” She cups my face in her hand and I lean into it. “It’s cute you think that’s all that was. I know how she is. I knew her in high school. She thinks she can scare me away, but the bitch must have forgotten who I am. If I’m going to be your girl, I will put any bitch in her place if they think I’ll let them fuck with you.” She lets out a small growl. “What's mine is mine. I don't share.” She stresses that last part like she's trying to make a point.
“No ifs about it, Kitty. It’s happening. I don't share either,” I growl out, and then grab the back of her neck and cover her lips with mine. When I pull away, she still has her eyes closed.
“You can keep doing that.” She sounds calmer and opens her eyes. I'm loving learning just how much of an effect I have on her.
“Oh, yeah?” I ask. She nods. “If we keep kissing like that, I’m going to take you right here and now. ‘Cause I’m not going to be able to stop.”
“I’d be okay with that.” She gives me a shy smirk. Damn this woman is sexy.
