“Nice shot,” I told her, my compliment honest. I wasn’t worried about her winning even as she dropped the red one in the same pocket.
Harper was trying for the blue, and not being above cheating, I came up behind her and smacked her ass cheek as soon as she sent the cue sailing forward. It affected her shot and when she turned to me, I saw the familiar pout I’d witnessed over the years. Only now, I was looking down at her lips and imagining them wrapped around my cock as I deep throated her.
What the fuck is wrong with me?
I didn’t ask it out loud, or even answer myself silently. I used my hand to nudge her out of the way, then eyed the table. The earlier shot I wanted was still there, so I circled halfway around, then sent the ball flying into the middle pocket. Another two joined them before it was her turn once again.
“You know there isn’t a reason to cheat. It looks like you’ve gotten much better at pool over the last few years,” she remarked.
I grinned. “It’s not all I’ve gotten better with,” I responded, and her eyes dropped to my pants. My erection could be clearly seen and she quickly looked back up at me and swallowed hard.
“If you say so,” she told me, then turned.
I moved back behind her and as she tried to get in position to sink her final ball, I grabbed the waistband of her thong and pulled it taut. A slight gasp was the only indication she gave that I even affected her.
“You’re holding the stick the wrong way,” I told her, and she looked over her shoulder at me. After pushing me a step back with her delectable ass, she returned her focus to the shot and to my credit, I didn’t touch her or influence the miss in any way. “I told you so.”
She spun around and held the pool cue in one hand and placed the other on her hip. “If you’re so fucking good, then show me.”
I knew she was talking about the shot, but I felt it applied to other things as well. I turned her back around, then pressed her lower body into the table.
“Listen to me for once. You might actually learn something.”
She let out a huff which made me chuckle, but she followed my direction and soon I had my arms wrapped around her as I held her hand on the cue.
“Impressive stick positioning,” she told me, and this time I knew what she meant, and it had nothing to do with the game at hand.
At least, not anything to do with pool itself. Despite the fact that I hated mind tricks, I had to admit I was enjoying this a bit more than I should’ve.
I leaned in closer, and my lips skated over her bare shoulder. Harper shivered, and I knew she was just as responsive to my touch as she’d ever been.
I inhaled the sweet scent of her hair. It was from the shampoo in the shower, mild with a hint of spice. She smelled so damn good as my tongue probed at the throbbing pulse point in her throat. She tasted that way, too.
“While I’m enjoying this sensual foreplay, why don’t you show me how to take this shot so I can spank your ass at this game. I—”
After nipping where I had just licked, I backed up a bit. “You won’t win even if you make this shot,” I pointed out.
“We’ll see about that.”
Damn, she had sass, and I wanted more. I had no idea what the hell was wrong with me, but I knew there was no way I would be able to stop myself from fucking her if she was willing. Her body’s natural responses to me thus far only confirmed she would be.
“You need to hit this ball dead center or else it will move too far, and you’ll end up scratching.”
She let out another huff, but did allow me to show her what I was talking about. Sure enough, the solid spun in a tight circle before dropping into the pocket. I stepped back when she moved to take her last shot.
She’d try to follow the same advice I just gave her, but my striped ball was too close to hers. She would end up knocking my final one in and it would be game over for us.
HARPER
Having Gabriel this close to me was wreaking havoc on my self control. I had never stopped loving this man and while I had hoped to one day be back in his arms, I’d known it was a long shot. After all, he was often photographed with models and other women in the limelight. His celebrity status only afforded him more opportunities to land clients because athletes, models, and Hollywood stars often hung in the same circles.
Having his lips on me, however, kept a small glimmer of hope alive that he would actually take my warning seriously. He might be a Titan, but he wasn’t invincible despite what he thought to the contrary.
I’d have no chance to get him to listen to me unless I won this game. Having him distract me was unfair, but I’d have to continue to ignore him. I’d done it before with someone else, only this time I would be trying to forget pleasure instead of just pain.
I nudged him with my elbow when I realized he was still in my way and he threw his hands up. There was a look of amusement on his face and while I wanted to know why he seemed so cocky all of a sudden, I also didn’t want to know.
I shook my head, then focused on the task at hand. I reared my arm back and when I hit the ball as I had done on the previous shot, it spun the same but instead of falling in itself, it knocked his ball in and not mine.
