Page 24 of Nines's Time

“Fuck, Meadow, you’re killing me,” he groans and rubs his hands against my inner thighs and nods. “Lay back on the ottoman.”

My breath catches in my chest as Nines helps me. The moment my back hits the ottoman, Nines moves to drop down on the floor, his body separating my legs.

“At any time, baby, you need me to stop, you tell me, okay?”

“Okay.” I nod and lean on my elbows to watch him as he slides his fingers along my inner thighs.

I tremble ever so slightly at the feel of his fingers hooking in my panties and his breath blowing across my apex. Then when his tongue swipes along the edges, I nearly come out of my skin, it feels so good.

I close my eyes and just feel as Nines takes his time with my pussy. Never have I known something so erotic. I’ve read about it in my books but didn’t think I’d ever enjoy it. However, having this beautiful man’s mouth on me, his fingers pressing inside me. It’s a different story altogether.

The feel of Nines’s mouth and touch drives me insane with how he takes his time in devouring me. He takes me with his fingers and sucks my clit, nipping at the little bud.

My world shatters when he moves farther down and thrust his tongue inside my pussy and uses his fingers to hit just the right spots.

“Nines,” I cry out, my eyes opening as my orgasm washes over me. My gaze finds Nines and holds his as he continues to use his mouth to devour me.

Slowly, he pulls away and replaces my panties. Nines helps me sit up and lifts me into his lap when he moves to the couch.

“Swear to fuck, Buttercup, I think I’ll become addicted to that pussy of yours. Love the taste of you.”

I blush and bury my face in his neck. “What about you?” I ask feeling his shaft pressing against his jeans.

“Don’t worry about me. It’ll go down.”

I lift my head and meet his gaze, my brows creasing. “But you . . . it’s not fair that I . . .”

Nines grins and reaches up to cup either side of my face. “Meadow, not everything is about fuckin’.”

“But . . .”

“No buts,” he says, stroking my cheek. “Something you gotta know about me, baby, is that I don’t take shit from anyone. And when I want something, I go for it. Do I want to fuck you? Fuck yes, I do, and I will, but not right now. Not at your work. Eventually, I will, however, it ain’t gonna be the first time I’m inside you. Me tasting that pussy of yours is definitely worth the blue balls I’m surely gonna have.” He gives me that smirk of his and drops his hands to rub them on either side of my thighs. “Now we’re gonna get our food, eat, and you can tell me about the unknown caller. Don’t think I didn’t miss the panic in your eyes at my asking you about it.”

Damn. I was hoping he’d forget about that.

Either way, Nines has to be the most amazing man I’ve ever met and I’m afraid I’m falling for him, even in the very short amount of time I’ve known him.

What was that saying my mom used to tell me a long time ago? The heart wants what the heart wants and knows it at first sight. Time holds no bars against what is fated and what will be.

I never understood what she meant considering she was with a monster and allowed him to be so cruel, and in the end, he took the last of her soul and ended her life. However, I somewhat get it now, and I hope I’m making the right choice in trusting myself to him.

CHAPTERFIFTEEN

NINES

“What’s your real name?” Meadow asks and takes a bite of the pasta I’d brought for her from the local Italian restaurant down the road.

Chewing the food in my mouth, I swallow and answer, “Brick Tucker.”

“How did you get the name Nines?”

Grinning, I fork up a bit more of my own pasta. “My dad, Baller, he gave it to me when I was a teenager. He taught me to play poker and somehow, I always ended up getting a pair of nines. He thought it was funny and started calling me Nines.”

“Where is he? Your dad, I mean?”

“He died a while ago,” I answer, holding her gaze. “Cancer.”

“Oh, I’m sorry,” she whispers sincerely.
