Beautiful women….
A blessing or a curse?
It really was debatable, for me at least.
I had one sitting before me sipping on a cup of hot chocolate, constantly licking her lips and giving me obvious,very obvious, sexually suggestive looks that should have at the very least turned me on. Candace had been doing that for the last hour as we’d sat in the coffee house.
Unfortunately for me, I had another beautiful woman—Phoebe—in my head who actually was turning me on, even though she wasn’t here.
Those tits and that ass, both firm and round. The kind that I was sure would get me in trouble. Like it was now.
“You are miles away, mister.” Candace smirked, smacking my hand playfully. It was that sudden touch that snapped me out of my Phoebe reverie.
Wasn’t my style to be with one woman and think about another. Not my style at all. It was disrespectful.
“Sorry, it’s just this… project.”
“It’s massive. And good for you. You’ve always wanted to work on something like this.” Her sea green eyes twinkled. She looked genuinely happy for me and that made me feel like an asshole.
My problem was I didn’t like to feel trapped or forced into anything.
It wasn’t exactly fair for Candace for me to feel that way. No more than me thinking about Phoebe’s ass and tits.
Shit, how did she get hotter?
I had to straighten up and shuffle around to keep my dick under control.
“Yes,” I agreed.
“So what happens now? Are you going to the cave again?” She beamed.
“Yeah. We’re gonna go sometime next week to check things out.” I was a part of the team that went to retrieve the samurai. That had been a day I wouldn’t forget. It wasn’t every day I got to do something like that.
“Was that another assistant I saw in the exhibit room?” Curiosity sparked in her eyes.
Oh yeah, the curiosity. How could I have forgotten how suspicious she always was when she found me speaking to other women?
She knew I was loyal, but still she never quite trusted me.
“No, that was Phoebe Walker. She’s a doctor in linguistics and archeology. She reads dead languages.” I hadn’t meant to sound so proud.
Secretly I kind of was. I didn’t know many people who had that sort of backing, and there were all sorts of scholars at the center and museum.
“God, that’s some power. I’ve never heard of anyone who could do that. I’m surprised because she didn’t look like… she could do all that.”
“You know that sounds like you’re saying she doesn’t look like she’s that clever?” I raised an eyebrow.
“Oh no.” She shook her head. “That’s not what I meant at all. I just expected someone older to have such credentials. She was very stylish.”
“Always has been.”
“How long have you known her? You’ve never mentioned her before?” She blinked and parted her lips.
