Free In Blood and Worth Loving 2: Lost Without You by Marilyn Lee Page B

what was all the grinding going on last night?”
    “Okay, he’s sexy and he got me hot, but I think he’s all show and no go.”
    “Oh, no! Are you sure?”
    She nodded. “Yes. I never once felt anything and believe me, he was aroused.” Desiree sighed. “Well, there are other ways he can get the job done—even if his equipment is a little on the Desiree sighed. “Well, there are other ways he can get the job done—even if his equipment is a little on the small side. I don’t think that’s a reason not to see him tonight. Maybe he has a very talented tongue to atone for his other shortcomings.”
    She shook her head. “Oh, no. If he ate me, he’d expect me to eat him.”
    “Sounds fair to me.”
    “That’s not happening.”
    “Why not?”
    “There’s no way I’m sucking any man’s cock.”
    “Have you ever tried it?”
    “No and I’m not going to.”
    Desiree traced her lips with the tip of her tongue. “Then don’t knock it. I admit it takes some getting used to but when you’re really into a man, it can be a real turn on. I can’t believe Michael never wanted you to—”
    “Who says he didn’t?”
    Desiree arched a brow. “You mean he wanted you to and you didn’t?”
    “That’s exactly what I mean. So you know that if I didn’t do it for Michael I sure as hell am not going to do it for anyone else.”
    “Michael didn’t deserve it, but maybe your sexy Cherokee might and that’s all I’m going to say about it. Now let’s talk about what you’re going to wear tonight.”
    She shook her head. “I’m not going out with him tonight.”
    Desiree sighed. “I wish you’d reconsider and I think you would if you were aware of how your eyes sparkle when you talk about him.”
    She stared at Desiree. “They don’t.”
    “Trust me, Cay. They do.”
    She glanced away. “I didn’t say being with him wasn’t exciting. I’m just saying I really can’t go for him. Hell, for all his flirting, he’s not that into me either.”
    “How can you say that when he gave you a car that costs more than we both make in a year?”
    “I can say it because he didn’t even try to kiss me. If I’m going to risk losing Michael for good, it’s going to be for a relationship with a man who’s so filled with lust for me that he can’t keep his hands off me. And unfortunately, that’s not Jayvyn Redwolfe.”
    “What are you going to do?”
    “I don’t know.”

    After Desiree left, Cayenne called Rayna and asked her to tell Jayvyn that she couldn’t have dinner with him that night. To her surprise, Rayna made no efforts to change her mind. “If you’re sure you want to cancel—”
    “I am.”
    “Then I’ll tell him unless you want to tell him yourself. Do you have his numbers?”
    “No, I don’t have them and I’d rather not talk to him. Tell him I’ll leave his key fob in my mailbox.”
    “I’ll let him know and I’ll see you on Monday.”
    “Thanks, Rayna.”
    With the call made, she felt restless and uncertain how she’d spend her night. She overcame the urge to call Michael and decided to go out and pick up Chinese and then spend the evening reading. She would not worry about Jayvyn’s reaction to her canceling their date. After all, he hadn’t actually asked her. He’d told her. He had no one to blame but himself.

    Jayvyn and Macarik were in his workshop stripping an antique dining room set Rayna had found in a thrift store she wanted to replace a more modern one in her Center City condo when she walked in.
    “Hi handsome,” she smiled and waltzed across the workshop to link her arms around Macarik’s neck.
    “Hey, gorgeous.” He bent his head and kissed her quickly on the lips.
    She gave Macarik’s ponytail a tug before coming over to him. “I’m afraid I have some bad news for you, Uncle Jay.”
    He looked up. “What wrong?”
    “Cayenne just called and asked me to tell you she can’t see you tonight.”

    “Cayenne just called and asked me to
