Ray of Hope (Ray #2) Page 7

  “I’m not sure. What do you recommend?” She wore black leggings with a long dress on top. It had long sleeves and covered most of her body from view, so I hoped whatever she had in mind involved taking her clothes off.

  If she put the ball in my court, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. “You mentioned something about a blow job…” Act cool. Act cool.

  “Yeah, I do need to work on that.”

  This was too good to be true. “Well…I’m at your service.”

  “Okay. Let’s get started.”

  My jaw almost dropped. She was going to get on her knees and suck me off for practice? Seriously? “Uh…I’m probably going to regret saying this, but I need to say it anyway.”

  She was already at the couch.

  “Maybe you should wait until you’re in a relationship and tell the guy all of this. Trust me, he’s not going to mind teaching you.”

  “Are you saying you don’t want to do this?”

  “Not. At. All.” I wanted to do this more than anything else in my life. “I just…I don’t really see what you get out of this.” Despite my chivalrous attempt, my legs were already carrying me to the couch.

  “I want to learn, and I want you to be the one who teaches me.” She looked at me with those beautiful blue eyes. With the brightness of the stars, they hypnotized me. She wasn’t begging, but just her asking me seemed like a plea. She could do this with any other guy, but she wanted me. “Why?”

  “Like I said, I know you know what you’re doing.”

  “So do a lot of guys.”

  “Yeah, but we’re good friends. I trust you.”

  I continued trying to be a gentleman, but I was losing the battle. “If you just see me as a friend, what do you get out of this?” I was immensely attracted to her, so I got a lot out of this. If any beautiful woman asked me to make out with her, I’d do it in a heartbeat. But women were different about that sort of thing.

  “I think you’re sexy, Rex.” She slowly walked toward me until her chest was pressed to mine. Her face hovered inches away, and her lips were kissable just as they were yesterday. Her hands snaked up my arms and gripped my biceps.

  I took a deep breath as the pleasure radiated all over my body. Kayden thought I was sexy, and hearing her compliment me like that was such a turn-on. I wanted my dick in her mouth—every inch.

  “Teach me.” She cupped my face and gave me a slow kiss.

  I was a goner. Her whispers were always sexy, and those lips were fuckable. “It’d be my pleasure.” My hands gripped her hips, and I kissed her harder, letting my attraction take the reins. I held her close to me, my lips devouring her with desperation. Every time I thought about my dick in her mouth, I almost came.

  I guided her in front of the couch before I reluctantly pulled my lips away. “Lesson number one: a man never wants to ask for a blow job. You need to give it to him spontaneously. That’s when we enjoy it the most.”

  “Yes, sir.”

  Fuck. Did she just call me sir? “Lesson number two: you need to take the lead the entire time. All confidence and all power. Undo my jeans and pull them off, my boxers too. Do it slowly, draw it out.”

  Her hands went to my jeans, and she unbuttoned them.

  My spine shivered.

  She got them loose and down my legs until they were around my ankles.

  I loomed over her, feeling like a king. “Anytime you can get on your knees, you should.”

  She took my advice and lowered herself to the ground. Then she grabbed the brim of my boxers and slowly pulled them down.

  I couldn’t believe this was really happening.

  She pulled them down my hips until my cock popped out. Long and hard, it was over the moon to see her face. He wanted to go deep and far down her throat until every inch was sheathed in that warm mouth.

  She stared at my cock, her lips parted and her breathing became deep and loud. She moistened her lips with her tongue as she continued to look at every inch of my package. Then she leaned in and pressed a kiss to the center of my shaft, right over the large vein.

  She was a natural.

  She pulled my boxers down the rest of the way then gripped my thighs for balance. She looked up at me for direction, the desire heavy in her eyes like it was in mine.

  The biggest turn-on with a blow job was when a woman really wanted to do it. If it was out of obligation or duty, it wasn’t nearly as sexy. And the look in her eyes told me she wanted my big, fat cock in her mouth yesterday.

  “Suck my balls.” I grabbed the back of her neck and guided her mouth to my sac. “Take each one into your mouth and run your tongue across it.”

  Her lips brushed against my sac before she did as I commanded. She brought the sensitive skin into her mouth and sucked and licked like a pro. She used all of her saliva to lubricate the skin as she slathered me with kisses.

  I could watch her all day. “Use your hand to jerk me.”

  She wrapped her hand against my shaft and slowly moved up and down, her tongue still working my balls.

  This was the best day of my life. “You’re doing great, baby.” I grabbed a handful of hair and held it away from her face so there wasn’t anything to interrupt her. I wanted her to go to town on my nuts and never stop.

  She licked my balls like it was anything but a chore. She seemed to be into it, enjoying the feeling of my balls in her mouth as much as I did. She pleased me but teased me at the same time, building up to the best part—my cock in her mouth.

  “Don’t tease him for too long.” I grabbed the base of my cock and pointed it forward so she could slide her mouth down my shaft. “Start with the head and work your way down.” I kept my hand on the back of her neck and guided her down my length.

  Oh fuck.

  My cock was huge for her mouth, but she opened her jaw wide so she could take me. The grooves of her tongue felt amazing against my shaft. The friction was perfect, and her saliva was more than inviting. “You want to go hard but not nick my dick with your teeth. If you do, it could take a while for me to get back up to the same level of hardness.” I’d been nicked before, and while it was an accident, it was uncomfortable. It usually took me a few minutes to get really hard again.

  She gripped my thighs and moved her neck back and forth, taking in my cock as far as she could before pulling out so she could get some air. She took in more than I expected, only missing a few inches because it wasn’t physically possible to get the entire thing in her mouth.

  I couldn’t believe this was happening.

  Kayden was on her knees and sucking me off.

  And she was doing a fucking fantastic job.

  “Look at me as you do it.”

  Her eyes moved up to my face as she continued to suck me off. Her tongue remained flat on the bottom so my cock had the perfect surface to rub against. Saliva leaked from her mouth because my cock took up so much space.

  “You’re perfect. Keep going.” I thrust my hips into her and we moved together. I stopped giving her direction because I enjoyed her mouth so much. It was a great blow job, one of the best I’d ever had. Her lips were so soft every time my cock slid farther into her mouth, and I could feel her throat when I pushed all the way back.

  I felt the sensation start deep in my balls. I knew what was coming, and I wanted to come deep in her throat because it was the perfect ending. But that was something only romantically involved people did. The polite thing for me to do was come into my hand.

  But I really wanted to come in her mouth.

  “If the guy isn’t a dick, he’ll tell you when he’s going to come.” I fisted her hair and continued to thrust into her mouth. “He’ll want you to swallow, and if you really want to impress him, that’s what you should do. But if you don’t want to, just pull out and jerk me off onto your face.” Her mouth was so warm and wet, and I didn’t want to leave it. But I managed to pull out and cup my head with my hand as I jerked off the rest of the way.

  Kayden pulled my hand away and shov
ed my cock back into her mouth. She looked up at me as she shoved my dick deeper into her mouth. She moved harder and faster, trying to get me off with a powerful orgasm.

  “You want me to come in your mouth, baby?”

  She nodded as she kept moving.

  She was so fucking perfect. “Here it comes.” I held on to the back of her neck as I kept thrusting. I hit my threshold almost immediately, hard because of her request. The sensation hit me like a freight train, and I came in her mouth with a loud moan. My fingers dug into her skin, and I emptied myself in the back of her throat, giving her every drop. I hadn’t gotten laid in about a week, and this release was exactly what I needed. “Fuck.” I finished giving her everything before I softened in her mouth. My eyes felt lidded and heavy, exhausted from that mind-blowing pleasure she had just given me. I looked at her with new eyes, unsure if I was teaching her anything or if she was teaching me everything.

  She pulled my cock out of her mouth then licked her lips.

  My eyes snapped open. Was this really the woman I’d been friends with my entire life? Was this really the woman I hadn’t noticed until recently?

  “So…how did I do?”

  Those pretty lips did a tremendous job on my cock. All I needed to do was give her a few pointers, and she figured out the rest on her own. She really didn’t need me at all. Any guy in the world would kill to be sucked off like that. And when she swallowed my seed like she needed it…amazing. “You don’t even need to ask.”

  “Rae is calling.” Kayden picked up her cell phone from the coffee table.

  “Shit.” I immediately went into panic mode at the thought of being caught. After all the shit I gave her about Ryker, she would be livid if she knew I was fooling around with Kayden—even if I was just trying to help her. “Be cool, alright?”

  She rolled her eyes at me. “You’re overreacting.”

  “That woman is psycho. I swear, she has superpowers.”

  “Does not.” She took the call. “Hey, girl. What’s up?” She paused and listened to Rae over the line. “Yeah. Sure. I can meet you there in fifteen minutes.”

  My phone started to ring at that exact moment. “Fuck.” I quickly grabbed it and hit the silence button, hoping Rae didn’t hear it over the line. If she did, I would be a dead man. Not too many people had the Star Wars anthem as their ringtone.

  Kayden paused again when she listened to Rae. “Just the TV. Yeah, I like Star Wars.”

  Shit, she did hear.

  Kayden quickly wrapped up the conversation. “I’ll see you in a few.” She hung up.

  I took the call because it was Zeke. “Shit, what do you want?” I had a nervous breakdown just thinking of the repercussions of my sister finding out what I’ve been doing in my spare time for the past two days.

  “Dude, are you okay?”

  “I’m fine,” I said quickly. “Why?”

  “Are you with Kayden right now?”

  Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. “Why would I be with Kayden? The only time I see her is when we all get together. Like, I don’t hang out with her. I mean, we’re friends, but we aren’t close friends. And she’s not my type. Blondes—gross.”

  Kayden shook her head at me then mouthed, “Chill.”

  “Uh…okay. Anyway, we’re going down to the bar if you want to come. Rae just got off the phone with Kayden, and she said she’s coming.”

  “I’m just leaving Mega Shake, so I’ll be there in a second.”

  “You’re at Mega Shake?” he asked.

  “Yeah. Why?”

  “It just sounds really quiet.”

  “Oh, I’m in an alleyway right now.” God, I’m so bad at lying.

  “Uh, alright,” Zeke said. “You know, alleyways—”

  “Are you a doctor or a detective? I’ll meet you there in fifteen minutes.” I hung up and shoved my phone deep into my pocket.

  “Rex, you need to calm down.”

  “Rae heard my ringtone.” I’ve had that same ringtone for years now. It was unmistakable.

  “You’re being way too paranoid about this.”

  “I just don’t want Rae to give me shit. After the big deal I made about Ryker, she would be so pissed at me.”

  “Well, no one is going to find out. We can keep it between us. Besides, we’re both adults and can do whatever we want. So just calm down.” She walked into my chest and wrapped her arms around my neck.

  Instantly, the affection felt nice. “Yeah…got a little carried away.”

  She looked up at me with her bright eyes, looking appetizing as hell. “Good. Now we can go.”

  “We can’t go together,” I said. “That will be way too obvious.”

  “We can say we bumped into each other on the way.”

  “No. Rae and Zeke are too damn smart.”

  She rolled her eyes. “Well, I’ll leave now, and you can leave whenever you grow a pair.” She grabbed her purse then walked out, leaving me alone in her apartment. She was shy and vulnerable when it came to the two of us being physical, but then she showed a stronger side of herself, a powerful one. Sometimes I wondered if I really knew her.

  Maybe I didn’t.

  ***

  I walked in fifteen minutes after Kayden.

  They were sitting in a booth together, the girls on the left and Zeke on the right. He had a Guinness in front of him, the beer so black it looked like oil.

  I got a beer from the bar then took a seat beside Zeke, doing whatever I could to look natural.

  “Where have you been for the past two days?” Rae rounded on me immediately, getting under my skin like the annoying sister she was.

  “Mind your own business. That’s where I’ve been.”

  “As long as you’re living under my roof, I’m entitled to that information.”

  “I’ve been working a lot. It’s pretty much a brand-new business. You don’t understand with that tiny little brain of yours.”

  She stuck her tongue out at me.

  “Good one…” I turned to Zeke so I could have a conversation with a smart person. “How was work?”

  “Okay. I was tired all day because someone kept me up.”

  “Seriously?” I asked. “Ten thirty is late for you?”

  “I’m usually in bed by ten,” Rae said.

  “Because you’re a loser,” I snapped.

  “Me too,” Jessie said. “I’ve got to be ready to go by 7:30 in the morning, so I usually have to wake up at five.”

  “I’m usually in bed by ten too,” Kayden said before she sipped her wine.

  I dropped my insults once I heard her say that. She just blew me less than an hour ago. I wasn’t going to say a single thing to tick her off.

  Jessie turned to Rae. “Is Ryker coming?”

  “No,” Rae said. “I don’t see you guys enough anymore.”

  “We understand,” Jess said. “If I had a scorching hot boy toy, I’d never see you either.”

  Zeke downed his beer then went to the bar to get another.

  I knew exactly why he left so I went after him. “I thought you were moving past this?”

  “I am.” He waved down the bartender and ordered another beer. “But sometimes it gets under my skin—usually when I’m drinking.”

  “Seen Missy since?” We tag-teamed a few girls a while ago. I hadn’t met up with my girl because I hadn’t really thought about her. I had a feeling Zeke did the same.

  “No. Not really my type.”

  “Yeah.” Zeke usually liked good girls, the kind he could introduce to his parents. He liked messing around with the loose ones, but he never took them to dinner and a show.

  And I never took anyone to dinner and a show.

  “What about you?” he asked. “What tail are you chasing now?”

  I forced myself not to look at Kayden. It was so hard not telling my best friend the truth. I told him everything, even details he didn’t want to know about. Keeping a secret from him felt like a crime. I’d be hurt if he kept somet
hing from me. “Not chasing any right now. But maybe I’ll find some sexy ladies at the bowling alley.”

  “Yeah…because that’s where they spend their free time.”

  “Hey, it could happen. Like a hot chick bowling league.”

  Zeke finally smiled. “That would be pretty cool…”

  “I’d watch all their games.”

  “Yeah, me too.” He rested his elbows on the bar and took a look around. “So Groovy Bowl is still busy?”

  “Insanely busy. I just hired three more people.”

  “Good for you.”

  “I’ll have your money back in no time.”

  “Don’t worry about it.” He shook his head. “There’s really no rush. I know you’re good for it.”

  “Thanks, man.”

  A woman with dirty-blonde hair stood on the other side of the room with two friends. She wore a black dress across her wide stomach. She was curvy, thick in the arms and the waist. Her eyes were on Zeke, and when she handed off her drink to a friend, I knew she had her eyes on the target.

  “Babe coming this way.”

  “For you or me?” Zeke remained sly and didn’t look.

  “You.”

  She tapped Zeke on the shoulder and waited for him to turn around.

  Zeke was the athletic type, spending his time biking and hiking on the weekends. He competed in three half marathons a year and went to the gym religiously. He grew his own vegetables in his backyard and was committed to a healthy lifestyle. Most of the women he dated were similar. This woman was a little different. She was thicker than the women he usually dated, and she didn’t possess the athletic and slender physique. She was cute, but not fit.

  “Hi, I’m Rochelle.” She flipped her hair over one shoulder and leaned against the bar. She had a nice smile with perfectly straight teeth. Her skin was fair with a few freckles on her nose. She wore makeup, but very little.

  “Hi. I’m Zeke.” He extended his hand to shake hers.

  “I’m sorry if you have a girlfriend, and I can only assume you do, but if you don’t, I’d like to ask you out sometime.”

  I admired her courage. Not many women could walk across a room and ask out a total stranger. She did it with such confidence that it made me wonder where it came from. Zeke was extremely good-looking, not that I checked him out, and most women would be intimidated to go after him so vigorously.
