Free Alluring Ties by Skye Turner Page B

my thighs, I give Bradi the stink eye before greeting him. “Hey, Rhyc.”
    Gesturing to Micah’s empty chair, I say, “Want to sit down?”
    He nods and turns it backwards, before straddling it. My eyes can’t help but stray to the crotch of his tight jeans.
    He catches me looking and I see a slight flush on his cheeks. Clearing his throat, he asks why we’re here so early.
    Lexi tells him about the meeting at the bank and what we’re doing. He nods appreciatively and whistles. “Congrats, y’all. That should be really good here. You’ll do well with that.”
    Everyone talks for a bit more and then Lexi hops up. “Well, I’m getting tired and I need to get clean. The smoke and stench in here are getting to me.” She leans over and hugs me. She whispers in my ear, “Have some fun, E. You deserve it!”
    Micah helps Bradi up and everyone says goodnight before they head out, leaving Rhyc and me at the table. As we watch them leave, he turns towards me. “So, it’s just you and me now.”
    I laugh and nod. “Yeah, it appears that way. Sorry, my friends aren’t very subtle.”
    He laughs too and leans over the table so he can be heard over the music. “It’s ok. I like your friends.” Then, I can see on his face when he makes the choice. “Hey, do you want to get out of here? I can’t hear and I’ve had enough to drink. I work tomorrow afternoon.”
    I stop and take him in.
    Do I want to get out of here with him? Yes, yes I do. He’s hot and he seems nice. Let’s just see what happens here. I am not looking for anything permanent, but he’s hot. Yeah, I want to get out of here.
    Nodding, I get up and throw some bills on the table. He stands and follows me outside.
    Lexi left with Micah and Bradi, so I have my car. We get to the parking lot and stop. We just stand there as the music pulses through the closed door and interrupts the night. Finally, he chuckles. “Uh, where do you want to go? We can go someplace and talk.”
    I shrug and smile. “Wherever you want. I live with Lexi, but she’s probably curled up in her room with a book. We can go wherever you’d like though. I’d like to talk.” As I say it, my gaze takes in his mouth. He’s chewing on his bottom lip like he’s nervous. I try to reassure him. “We don’t have to go to one of our places. We can go sit somewhere if you’re more comfortable.”
    He looks at me and smiles. My cock jerks in response. “I live alone. I have an apartment up the street. We can go there if you want. Are you ok to drive?”
    My brows rise as I catch him looking at my crotch where my dick is clearly visible and ready to come out to play. I laugh. “I’m good. I was a little tipsy earlier, but I think I danced it out. I’ll follow you if that’s ok?”
    He nods and walks past me, brushing against me as he does so.
    Well ok then. I think I might get lucky tonight after all. Rhyc is so hot and a cop. Let’s see where this goes.
    Following him to his building, he directs me to park across from his unit. I do and trail behind him up the stairs to his apartment. His place is nice. He tosses his keys onto a small table by the door and then turns around and puts his hands in his pockets. It pulls his jeans down and I catch a peek of ridged muscle and a trail of dark hair disappearing into his waistband. My mouth starts to water.
    He sees me looking and quirks his brow at me. “Something catch your eye, Erik?”
    Holy shit. I guess we’re not playing games here. Hell yes, something has caught my eye and I want to see where that happy trail leads.
    Taking a step towards him, I stop about a foot away and put my hand on his abs. They jump in response. “ Something certainly has, Rhyc, yes.”
    He reaches out and grips my biceps with both hands while my hand is still pressed against his abs. We just look at each other. Then, he growls and pulls me towards him before pressing his mouth to mine. He kneads my arms as he explores my mouth with his tongue. Still
