I nod, and she pulls me to her, kissing me like she’s making promises to me I don’t deserve. Making me feel like just this once, I deserve her and this. I pull away because I’m not done yet. She needs to know about the more immediate threat, too.
“Ren, there’s…more. There’s a stalker. My shrink said since she’s gone from leaving me pictures and marriage licenses to more threatening phone calls, it’s not something we can ignore.”
“Jesus, what should we do?”
“Remember Mills? He talked to you after the whole thing with your ex? He and Cyn are working on it, but they said I should tell you so you can be on the lookout. Mills thinks she’s using disguises though, and that’s why we haven’t noticed her.”
“Do you know who?”
“No. Hell, we’re only guessing it’s a woman.”
A car pulls into the driveway and Ren shivers. “Sounds like your brother just pulled up. How about we get some Chinese, get really high, and decompress by watching some of those dumb ass horror movies you boys think are comfort films? I’ll even have James invite Lexi over.”
I nod, because the words get stuck in my throat. They’ll come out soon enough, because she’s staying. Maybe not in the house for much longer, but she’s staying with me. She’s not leaving, and I’m not sure what to do about that other than learn to get used to it. Staying has become a lesson only she can teach me.
CHAPTER30
LOLLIPOP
LIL WAYNE, STATIC MAJOR
I flipthrough the pages of tests I need to grade before the weekend, putting my headphones on and hoping I can get a head start on them while I wait for the Parent Teacher Organization meeting. They used to hold them in the mornings, and the teachers would work together and cover classes so that whoever needed to attend could be there. Now, they hold them after school hours to see if they can boost the number of parents that attend. The problem is, the PTO president owns a business and sets her own hours, so she’s been fighting the change tooth and nail instead of listening to the parents who work more conventional jobs. I’ve talked with a few of the parents and told them I’d come tonight to help push their agendas a little harder.
Yesterday drained me, but I took some medication before it became too much to handle. Chase and I both fell asleep on the couch, and at some point, either Jamie or Devin pulled a blanket over us and left us there to sleep. Unfortunately, I never plugged my phone in and it died. We didn’t wake until we heard Steve come over to start Chase’s workout, so I had to rush to make it to school on time. It’s a challenge, running around that big house and trying to avoid the dogs. While I made it out the door on time to make the first class, I forgot to pack lunch. I almost ordered something for delivery, but the kids from morning tutoring asked if we could do it over my break since I missed our session. I couldn’t say no, but now I’m starving.
I check the time and dig through the drawers, looking for something to snack on. But the kids raided my stash earlier, and I only find a lollipop. I still have an hour before the meeting, so I take off the wrapper with a sigh. As I pop it in my mouth, I get an idea. I snap a picture of my lips and the lollipop, nice and close, and shoot it off in a text. It still shows as delivered after a few minutes, so I go back to grading papers until my phone finally buzzes.
Snuggle Puppy
Fuck…I’m going to jerk off to that when I’m gone next week.
Dinner?
Mind if I’m a little late? Parent’s meeting tonight at 7.
Snuggle Puppy
I know. ;)
I jump when there’s a knock on my classroom door, and my jaw drops when my eyes meet Chase’s dorky grin from the other side of the small window. He holds up a stack of food containers and shrugs, so I hurry over and let him in. I open the door and he pulls the lollipop out of my mouth, kisses me hard, and pops it into his mouth.
“Cotton candy, yes!” he smirks, directing me back into the room as he shuts the door behind him. “You’re super hot when you’re working, you know that?”
“What are you doing here? Did anyone see you? Please tell me you didn’t break into the school?!”
“I slipped the maintenance guy a fifty, and he let me park out back where no one will see. So technically, no, I did not break into anything. Also, hello to you too, Sunshine.” He puts the food on a nearby desk, hands me back the lollipop before he cups my face in both of his big, firm hands and devours my soul. I swear, every time this man kisses me, it’s like he’s scared it will be the last time.
He walks me backwards toward my desk before he lifts me onto it.
“That little picture you sent me had me worried you’d ruin your appetite.” His fingers trace down the buttons of my top.
“Oh, baby, I’m going to ruin more than my appetite. I’m going to ruin you.” I run the lollipop over my tongue with a mischievous moan. He’s drooling as he watches me sucking hard, and I get a terrible idea. My mind flashes back to high school when I snuck into the bathroom to make out with the school’s hot bad boy. I grab Chase’s hand and pull him toward the door. When I check the hall, it’s clear, so I drag him down the hallway to the bathrooms. I’m sure it would make for a funny sight for some people. My short ass pulling this specimen of a man down a darkened school hallway after hours.
The second we’re in the bathroom, I lock the door and push him against it, grabbing for the button of his tight jeans.
“I wanna see how much you liked that picture, Puppy. I need to feel how hard I make you.” I drop to my knees and take his pants and boxers down with me. I can’t help but marvel at his cock. Just the sight of it makes me so fucking wet every time. It jumps when I slide a finger up that thick vein, teasing him. A dull thunk follows his soft moan when his head lolls back. I stand up and hold the lollipop up to his lips. “Show me what you want, baby. Suck it like the good little whore you are.”
He watches me crouch in front of him, his eyes wide as he hesitates—just a little. I scratch my nails down his thigh and he responds with a sharp inhale before he gives the sucker a shy lick. I mimic the motion on the head of his cock. He licks his pretty lips and slides his tongue over the round ball before closing his mouth around it and winking at me. Now he’s getting it. I copy his motions before I take the head of his cock in my mouth, lapping at it, followed by gentle sucks and kisses, just like he’s doing, but I don’t stop when he does.
