Desired Too (5 page)

“Darrell,” I answered.

“Sir, she left.”

“What! What the fuck did I tell you?”

“Yes, sir, I did as you asked, but shit, man, she’s scarier than you. I tried to stop her, but…”

I closed my eyes, feeling I was losing the battle with my dark side. “What did she say?”

“Sir?”

“Goddamnit, Darrell, what the fuck did she say?”

“She said you can’t tell her what to do, she’s a grown ass woman and some shit about not needing you to buy her drinks. Oh, and she said that she was leaving with dude and to kiss her… Well, you know the rest, but she was colorful.”

“And you let her leave? Do I understand that correctly?”

“Yes, sir.”

“I’m surrounded by cowards,” I mumbled, not giving a shit if he heard me or not. “I’m coming down now. Meet me outside and bring my car around,” I told him. I then hung up and left the office.

It seemed Raquel hadn’t changed a damn bit. She’d always find a way to piss me the hell off. Why did she have to do shit the hard way? All I wanted her to do was wait for me. Was that too much to ask?

The moment I made it outside, I saw her standing by the driver’s side of what I assumed to be her car, and Casper was on the other side.

Is she really leaving with him?

Feeling my temper rising even more, I moved purposefully toward her. The moment her eyes fell on mine, they grew.

Yeah, I’m coming for you.

Her shock quickly wore off and was replaced with resentment and a bit of anger.

“You can’t follow simple directions, can you?” I asked her once I was close enough for her to hear me.

“Directions? Are you kidding me? Is that what you called them? They sounded more like demands to me, and you don’t have the right to demand shit from me!”

I watched her lips as she spoke and fought the urge to put something between them to shut her up.

She folded her arms and looked up at me. The need to kiss the shit out of her grew stronger. The way she was pouting, how defiant she was standing, those lips of hers; everything about her was turning me the fuck on.

I knew it would be any second that she was going to say something that will completely piss me off and the shit would be on.

“That’s your imagination Raquel,” I professed.

“Oh, so you
do
know my name then?” she rebutted.

I glared. “Of course I know your name. What kind of shit-”

“Yeah, that’s right! What kind of shit is that you sending one of your bodyguards over to me because you’re too busy with that skank you were with? Well, fuck you, Angel! I’m not that hard up for your attention.” She shook her head and chuckled. “No, all I needed was a simple acknowledgment from you. All you had to do was wave or nod in my direction, but no, you chose to ignore me. Well, I have news for you; I will not be ignored. In fact, Dirk has proven that he could give me
all
the attention I need. And we were just talking about whose place we were going to go to; his or mine.” She then looked over at him and smiled. “I think his. That way he can-”

Now do you understand what she does to me? Do you see what I mean? She pushes and pushes until now I am losing my shit, grabbing her face, pushing her up against her car and sticking my tongue down her throat.

She resisted at first, but a painful growl escaped my throat, and she instantly opened her mouth to me.

Shit, when her tongue touched mine, I was fucking gone. I wrapped my arms around her waist as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

I kissed her as if I couldn’t get enough of her taste because I actually couldn’t. I wanted more. I needed more. She moaned in my mouth raked her hands through my hair and gripped it tight.

Forgetting where I was, I gripped her naked thigh, thankful as fuck that she was in a dress and placed it up on my hip. She moved back from my lips quickly, just as shit was about to get deep, and I knew she felt it.

We stared at each other.

I couldn’t fucking breathe. Every time I’ve kissed this woman, it’s as if she takes that ability away from me. It had been three years, and I craved her now just as I did then.

“Shit, I’ve missed you,” I said to her because, hell, what else could I say? However, the crazy thing was, I meant that shit. I’d missed the hell out of this woman; this crazy, smart-mouthed, beautiful, sexy ass woman.

“I’ve missed you too, Angel,” she whispered, and I had to say I was thrilled.

“Why don’t you show me just how much?” I hissed.

“Yeah and how do you want me to do that?” she asked, but I ignored her.

Next stop: my place and under my sheets.

She leaned against the car and we watched each other thoughtfully. I couldn’t wait to get to her body. I caressed her through her clothes, stroked the thigh that I still had against me before I released it, ready to taste her the moment we were in my apartment.

Hell, maybe I’ll let her drive my car and I get my taste on the way. If I push the driver seat back, I can…

“How long are you home for?”

“Indefinitely.”

It’s about fucking time!

“Welcome home, baby.” My voice was uncontrollably profound and full of a need that I’d held strictly for her.

My eyes traveled down the top of her dress, to my exceptions, and then went to her eyes. “Do you have any idea how bad I want to bury myself inside of you right now?”

Raquel leaned into me and said, sweet as saccharin, “Really? Was it as bad as you wanted to with that girl who had her tits all over you in the club?”

She tried to push me away, but that wasn’t happening. I felt my anger starting to rise right along with my dick. I kept a tight grip on her waist.

Again, do you see who she is now? Do you see what she does to me? She’s my worse fucking nightmare.

I heard someone clear their throat, so I looked up across the car and frowned when I saw “Casper.” This motherfucker was still there? What the fuck?

“Is there a reason why you’re still here?” I asked him.

“Angel…” I heard her whisper, but my eyes were on my new adversary and, wouldn’t you know it, Casper seemed to have some balls.

He frowned and folded his arms. “Yeah, I wanted to make sure Raquel was okay.”

“Well, you can see she’s okay,” I replied.

“Uh huh,” he shrugged. “I’ll just wait until she tells me.”

I raised my eyebrows at the now dead man. “Oh, you’ll wait? Is that what you just said to me?!”

I let go of Raquel, backed up from her and walked around the car.

This motherfucker must think I’m someone else.

Realizing his mistake, he backed up from the car, but it was definitely too late. I saw Darrell coming up behind the little coward just as I moved from around the car. My mind pondered on what I could do to the little fuck. The steel behind my back was heating up, itching for me to pull it and release every frustrated emotion buried in me.

If he didn’t know who I was, he would in just a few minutes.

Before I reached behind me, past the point of caring I had an audience, someone suddenly attached their body to mine. I kept walking, moving her out of my way, until she jumped in my arms. My hands instantly went to her ass, catching her and the moment I felt her bare ass, I looked into a pair of determined brown eyes.

Her breath was coming fast.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” she said to me, her mouth inches from mine.

She then turned to the side. “Dirk, you can go. I'm okay. Thanks and nice meeting you.”

I chuckled.
Is this really happening?

She turned again, realizing she didn’t hear receding footsteps and found he wasn’t alone; Darrell was standing directly behind him.

She looked back at me. “Let him go, Angelo.”

I frowned and she then, all of a sudden, got sweet. “Please, let him go. He’s just trying to be a gentleman since you went all caveman on me. He doesn’t know who you are, okay? Let him go this once for me.”

Well shit, what am I to do about that? Therefore, I nodded to Darrell to let him go, but not before Darrell gut-punched the shit out of him as he went by. Casper dropped to the pavement, gripping his stomach and dry heaving. I held in my laugh as he slowly rose to his feet and stumbled away, clearly unable to completely right himself.

“Why did he do that?!”Raquel squealed. “Why did you let him do that?”

I ignored her. “Damn, I can’t wait to get inside you.”

She unwrapped herself from me. “You’re crazy. Do you know that?”

“Yes, but it seems you’ve forgotten how crazy I can be. Did you think for one second I was going to let you leave with that clown?”

Raquel rolled her eyes. “Did you think for one second that I was actually going to leave with him? It’s clear you’ve forgotten who I am. I can’t believe you sent your goon to bully me. I can’t believe you’d ignore me like you did, and for what? So you can get laid? How was she, by the way? Did she give you what you wanted? Huh? No! You know what? I hope your dick falls off.”

She turned from me and headed back to her car, but I didn’t let her get far. I grabbed her arm, pushed her up against the car, again, and pinned her to it with my body.

“It seems you’ve forgotten who the fuck
I
am. But let me remind you.” I put my hands on the sides of her face, eyes steady on hers. “I sent Darrell over to you for a reason. And no, it wasn’t to bully you. It was to keep me from losing my shit. I know my limit, Raquel, and I reached my max a long time ago. Watching you tonight has done nothing but make me want to break every son of a bitch that touched you or even thought about touching you. I needed to keep my distance because if I didn’t, no doubt the little fuck you were dancing with and your little friendly ghost bitch ass wouldn’t have walked out of here on their own. So yeah, I needed a minute. All I wanted you to do was wait for me just for a few minutes, and I couldn’t get that from you.”

I leaned in closer to her. “And what’s even more fucked up is that you’d think I didn’t know who you were, that I’d forgotten what we shared, the nights we’ve spent together. Your body wrapped up with mine, me stroking you deep, feeling you cum all over me, in my mouth, on my fingers, and hearing you scream my name is all I’ve been craving for since you left. Believe me, there’s no way in hell, after seeing you, that I would want to touch another woman. I don’t care if you’re only here for a visit or if you’re here permanently…
I. Was. Claiming. You. Tonight!
” I leaned in to get my taste of her lips, but she moved her head and my lips landed on her soft neck. I closed my eyes and inhaled her, feeling my dick start to awaken. I brought my lips to her ear and whispered, “That’s what you do to me, that’s who you are to me.”

I gently kissed her ear, nibbled on her lobe, and ran my lips down her neck, savoring every taste, every shiver, and every moan that escaped her beautiful mouth.

“Angel,” she cooed.

I backed away and looked at her. “Come home with me right now, Raquel. Let me show you how much I’ve missed you. Let me caress every part of your body with my tongue, with my lips, just the way you like it, baby. Let me welcome you home, remind you what you’ve been missing all these years.”

I could see it in her eyes; she was mine. All I had to do was take her hand and lead her to my car. Tonight, I was taking what belonged to me.

As she followed without hesitation, I couldn’t stop the feelings that were starting to stir in me. It had been too long, and I couldn’t wait to finally get what I’d been wanting for a very long time.

“What about my car?” she asked softly.

“I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry about it. I just need your keys and…”

I suddenly felt my phone vibrate on my hip, but I made no move to retrieve it. Unfortunately, I forgot fate was still testing me.

I was about to open my car door for her when Darrell rushed toward me with his phone out. “Boss, it’s your brother.”

I frowned. “Tell him I have shit to do,” I replied to him, but Darrell still held the phone out.

“Yeah, I did, but he says the Don is requesting your presence.”

Fuck
. I took Darrell’s phone, hung it up and pushed it back to him.

I looked at Raquel, knowing I wouldn’t get another moment like this again, or at least not without a fight. To be honest with you, I really shouldn’t give a fuck. I mean, pussy is pussy, and I could get it from anyone. It’s not as if I lacked offers. The problem was that I didn’t want anyone else’s pussy. I wanted hers. I
craved
hers.

I caressed the side of her face with my finger, and she smiled at me, genuinely this time.

“I guess you’ll welcome me home another time, huh?”

“You better believe I will. Are you staying with your father?” I asked her.

She shook her head and smiled. “Don’t worry about where I’m staying. Go see your father.”

She moved from me and headed for her car. I followed and as she got to her door, I opened it.
