They spent the next hour or so making me blush until my cheeks were ready to fall off and then it was time to leave. I was starting to feel adrift at the thought of staying in the smoke smelling house alone, but I should’ve known better.
“You’re coming home with me for a few days at least until this smoke smell is gone. I know just the place to call to have them come out here and take care of that and some of this other mess that you couldn’t reach.”
I was so grateful to Stacy for her offer that I overlooked the dig at my stature. We can’t all be Amazonian like these three.

Where the fuck is she? I walked away from my window for the thousandth time. She hadn’t been home in two days, not since the day of the fire. I’d come home that night after hiding out away from here to find the place in darkness and not a peep out of her annoying ass.
I was starting to climb the walls wondering where she was and that shit was beginning to piss me off. One minute I’d tell myself that I didn’t care, and the next I wanted to wring her damn neck.
She’d just up and left without saying a damn word. Where the hell was she? Who did she know in this town? She hadn’t tucked tail and ran back to New York had she?
She better not be with some other dick, not after letting me kiss her like that and rub my dick into her soft middle. Not after the way she’d gone up for me. Fuck! And definitely not while I could still feel the softness of her stomach in my damn sleep.
That’s the shit that was making me crazy right there. I wanted to feel that shit again. How the fuck was I supposed to if I couldn’t find her ass? Pain in the fucking ass.
By midafternoon I was back to telling myself I didn’t care. I headed down to the station house and my men knew to keep the hell out of my way. By knock off time I still wasn’t doing any better.
I sat alone in the dark in my living room brooding. If her ass wasn’t back soon I’ma go looking for her. Fuck if I know where to start. All I have is a name and the gossip through the grapevine that she came here from New York.
All that was needed to set this scene was a bottle of beer to wash down my woes. But since I make it a habit not to drink when I’m pissed I held off. I sat there thinking and rethinking shit.
I finally came to the conclusion that I needed to quit while I was ahead. That maybe it was a good thing she’d left, because the two of us couldn’t possibly go anywhere. She just wasn’t my type.
“Shut up you!” My damn dick was sending out reminders and shit. With all that shit going on in my head I still didn’t rest easy until I heard an engine pulling into her driveway a few hours later.
I rushed to the window just in time to see her getting out of a car driven by a female. Oh right, her childhood friends, something else I’d heard about through the local grapevine but had forgotten in my fucked up mental state.
I huffed out a breath I hadn’t even been aware of holding and dropped into the nearest chair. I felt pretty much the way I do after a Rollercoaster ride. This up and down shit wasn’t going to work for me.
By the time I fell into bed a few hours later I had a better handle on things. I’ll give things some time to cool down and then we can be friends her and I. If I can get past that damn mouth of hers.
As to the steamy as fuck kiss and the way my dick can’t seem to get over her, I’ll just have to find a way. But we’re just not suited for each other her and I.
I got a good night’s sleep after settling that shit in my mind once and for all. For the next few days I didn’t see her except out my window when she went to the mailbox at the end of her drive, and that was enough for me.
Then I was heading out as she was coming out her front door a few days later and there was no way to avoid her. We both stuttered out a greeting. Her face blushed and she bit into her damn lip and I swear she rubbed her legs together. Before I knew it I was crowding her in her doorway.
“Stop that!” She looked up at me with those big wide brown eyes and bit her fucking lip again.
