Sinful (25 page)

Jensen clenched his teeth trying desperately to swallow down some of his anger. He couldn’t afford to lose his cool.

“Chloe, I’m not dating down. I don’t know where you got that idea from, but it wasn’t from me. Maymi isn’t beneath me and I want you to understand how much I love Maymi. She isn’t going anywhere. Sinful is a part of her like Fitness 24 is for me. We both get immense satisfaction from owning our own businesses. I won’t allow you to talk down about her to me or anyone else. Don’t ever let me hear you or you will regret it.”

Her nostrils flared with fury. “How are you going to stop me?” She spat out the words contemptuously at him. “I mean...will Maymi really believe you cared about Sinful getting closed down. I know she can’t even be that stupid.”

“Chloe, get out before I throw you out of my office. I’ve warned you about talking about my girlfriend and I’m not going to warn you again.”

Jensen was surprised by how relatively civil his tone was despite his seething anger. Maymi was his girlfriend. It didn’t matter to him that she never accepted it. He did and that was the only thing that mattered.

She shot him a look of disdain. “I can’t believe how protective you are being of the cupcake lady. You would have never done that for me, but that’s okay. She’s still worthless.” Chloe snickered then turned away. Walking over to the door, she opened it and walked out slamming it closed behind her.

His mind refused to register Chloe’s insults against Maymi because her words meant
nothing.

A war of emotions raged within Jensen. The urge to rush over to Maymi’s apartment and yank her into his arms had him rushing towards his office door, but he stopped himself before his hand touched the doorknob.

She wouldn’t let him within touching distance of her. Not after hearing only part of his stupid comments weeks ago. Maymi had run out of the place so fast, and when he didn’t go after her he knew it only fueled her wrong ideas about his true feelings.

Running Fitness 24 took up a huge part of his time, but it never filled up the emptiness that his heart until he found Maymi. Falling in love with her had come completely out of left field. He wasn’t expecting to love her nearly as much as he did now. Yet, it was the best thing that had ever happened.

The first time he laid eyes on her, all he could think about was getting her away from his thriving business as fast as possible. However, the most important thing for him to do
now
was get Maymi back.

He knew he had hurt her because he still saw the pain on her face every time he closed his eyes at night. If he got...no,
when
he got Maymi back, he was going to work damn hard to make sure no one hurt her again including him.

****

Standing out on the balcony of her apartment, Maymi held the drink in her hand staring blindly off into the distance. This part of the loft captivated her the moment she walked through the front door. She had been willing to pay extra for it but luckily she got this place at a steal from Tatum’s parents.

It had taken her about two weeks to make Jazmaine and Tatum understand that she was strong enough to be by herself now. They had taken turns spending the nights with her and sometimes they were both here on the weekends. She still felt bad that Jazmaine cancelled her date with Akito to take care of her, but she was a mess the night of the break-in at Sinful.

Maymi didn’t know what hurt worse, truly knowing that her business was a total loss, or hearing how happy Jensen was about it. She heard he had gotten the property at a steal because of the damage done to it. He had broken her heart.

She thought she wouldn’t ever get over Hudson’s death, but Jensen helped her see she could love again. However, he only did it to stab her in the back.

Bringing the glass to her mouth, she took a sip of the liquor swallowing it. She hoped it would numb some of the pain still in her heart, but nothing was helping her forget her time with Jensen. They had such a good chemistry that turned into more for her. She loved him... no, she had fallen in love with him.

How could he betray me so easily without even a second thought
?

“Enough, you can’t keep trying to figure him out,” she whispered to herself. Jensen wasn’t the man she believed and it was time for her to start letting go. Three weeks was long enough to be held up in this apartment drowning her sorrows in liquor and junk food. She had to find a way to shake it off and get back on track.

Turning around she went back into the apartment and was headed for the bedroom when her cell phone rang. Maymi slid her hand into the pocket of her robe and grabbed it.

“Hello,” she answered.

“Please talk to me.”

Maymi shivered at the sound of Jensen’s deep voice on the other end. She hadn’t heard his voice since that night because Jazmaine had been screening her phone calls.

“No, I don’t think that would be a good idea. I can’t deal with you right now...maybe never.”

“Let me come and see you,” he asked not giving up.

Walking over to the kitchen island, Maymi placed the glass down and took a seat. “No, I don’t think that would be a good idea either. We have nothing to say to each other. By the way, congratulations on getting Sinful’s old building. I heard the construction is about to start.”

“Sweetheart, you don’t know the entire story. There is so much I need to tell you. If I can’t come to you, how about you come to me?” Jensen suggested. “I’m just at home working out. I really need to see you. We can’t leave things like this between us.”

“I hate you.”

“I’ll text you my address and I’ll let the decision be yours,” he said softly before hanging up.

Maymi pressed the end button on her phone. She tossed it down on the island then a few minutes later it beeped signaling she had gotten a text. Reaching for the phone, she picked it up and read Jensen’s text. There was a message along with his address. A part of her wanted to ignore it and just pretend she hadn’t heard his sexy voice on the phone. Yet, the other side of her wanted to go to his house and tell him to go to hell.

She only debated for a few minutes before she slid off the stool and made her way towards the front door. She wouldn’t be able to move forward until she put Jensen in her past. He asked to see her and she was about to grant his wish.

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Hearing the doorbell, Jensen placed the weight down on the bench and left his personal gym next to his bedroom. Making his way down the long hallway, he went to the front door and answered it.

“Maymi,” he said shocked.

He had given her his address, but he didn’t think she would actually show up to his house. Seeing her after so many weeks was an instant turn-on for his body. She looked
so
gorgeous in her shirt and short denim skirt. All he could think about was stripping her and having his way with her.

“I hate the sight of you,” Maymi screamed at him. “I never want to see you again. I just came over here to tell you to go to hell. Stay out of my life. I can do badly all by myself. I don’t need you in the background shoving me in the wrong direction.”

She reached out to slap him, but he grabbed her wrist jerking her hard against his chest. He had stood here for the last few minutes listening to her rant and he was done. He had something to say and she was going to listen to him. Jensen pulled her inside the house closing and locking the door behind her.

“Maymi, you need to calm down and listen to me. You don’t even know what is going on.”

“I understand perfectly. Now, let go of me,” she yelled, pulling at her wrist.

“No.”

Jensen picked Maymi up and carried her from the living room down the hallway toward his bedroom. He had tried to be nice and let her get her anger out of her system, but he was tired. This had been the longest three weeks he had ever lived through.

“I heard you telling Casper it might have been a good thing that Sinful got destroyed. How could you say something so cruel? Put me down. God, I can’t believe I actually thought I loved you.”

Jensen stopped and stared down into Maymi’s face. “Baby, I already love you and I think you love me too, but just are too blinded to admit it now. However, I plan to change all of that very soon.” He kissed her on the lips before lifting his head and walking the remainder of the way to his bedroom.

Holding her against his chest, he opened the bedroom door and went through. Carrying her struggling body over to the bed, he laid her down on the bed and captured her mouth again with his cutting off anything else she wanted to tell him.

Grabbing her hot pink t-shirt, he ripped it down the middle and pulled it the rest of the way off Maymi’s body. His fingers didn’t waste any time unhooking the front of her white bra and taking it off her luscious body as well. He gave Maymi another long kiss before easing his lips away and raining kisses over her jaw and down her neck until he came to her full breasts.

He cupped one in his hand running his nail over the tip before blowing on it. Lowering his head, he slowly sucked the hard treat into his mouth.

“Jensen, I hate you,” Maymi said then ruined it by moaning and running her fingers through his hair.

Smiling against the softness of her breasts, Jensen slid his down her body and with his left hand he unbuttoned Maymi’s denim skirt. He pulled it down her thighs and rubbed his thumb over her pussy through her panties.

Lifting his head, he brought his mouth up to her ear. “Are you sure, sweetheart? Because, I think your body is telling me something different.” He continued to brush his thumb over the damp spot already there making it wetter and wetter.

“Yes.”

“Let me see if I can change that for you or more importantly me.” He tugged her skirt and underwear the rest of the way off her sizzling body.

Jensen quickly stood up and untied his sweatpants slipping them off his body before rejoining Maymi back on the bed. Slipping a hand back between Maymi’s thighs, he eased a finger into her tight pussy, loving how her body came alive for him.

“Tell me again how much you hate me. Tell me to stop and I’ll do it, Maymi.” He slid another finger inside of Maymi watching as she struggled to keep from moaning again, but he
knew
her body. He recognized she liked and she loved being touched.

“I would completely stop and let you get redressed. I wouldn’t even try to stop you from leaving.” Jensen increased the pace, shoving his finger even deeper inside of Maymi.

However, Maymi still didn’t say a word to him. All she did was bite her bottom lip and grab the bedspread underneath them between her small hands. She wasn’t going to win at this. He would get her to tell him that she wanted him.

“I can get you to answer me.” Jensen withdrew his fingers and got off the bed.

Bending down, he slowly moved in and kissed Maymi’s legs breathing in the scent that was only hers and no one else’s. “Baby, you smell so fucking
good
.”

He wanted to torture her, but being this close to her pussy was killing him. Without giving her any warning, he dived right into her sweet smelling, wet pussy. He licked and sucked at her clit until her body was about to come and then Jensen stopped.

“No!” Maymi whimpered, staring at him with lust-filled eyes.

“What are you saying to me, Maymi?’ Jensen asked, looking up at Maymi from between her smooth, brown thighs. “Do you still hate me or do you want me? I’m confused. I need you to clear it up for me.”

“I—”

“Say it. Tell me what you need from me and baby, I’ll give it to you.”

“I want you to fuck me. I need to you do it,” she said, staring him directly in the eyes.

Those weren’t exactly the words Jensen wanted to hear from his woman’s lips, but his cock ached too much to argue with her. Sliding his way back up her body, he rubbed his cock over her pussy and pushed inside until he was fully inside of her tight, welcoming heat.

Jensen planted kisses along Maymi’s neck as he began thrusting in and out of her. “Maymi, I love you,” he whispered against her skin. “You are everything to me and I’m going to prove it to you.”

“Yes,” she cried. Her fingers slid up and down his damp back as he buried himself further into her. Seconds later, Maymi’s orgasms ripped through her body as her pussy stroked his hard cock.

His own release coming, Jensen covered Maymi’s mouth with his as he started fucking her with hard, quick thrusts until he tore his mouth away and hollered as his seed shot deep inside of her tight pussy.

Chapter Forty

Something cool landing on Maymi’s chest woke her up from her light sleep; she opened her eyes and glanced down noticing a set of keys on her breasts. Picking them up, she looked over at Jensen and found him watching her.

“What is this?” she asked, holding them up.

“They are for you,” he answered, kissing her on the mouth.

Maymi leaned away from him. They might have just had sex but it didn’t mean they were back together. She shouldn’t have fallen asleep in the first place. She had come over here for an entirely different reason, but as soon as Jensen touched her mind had gotten scrambled and she couldn’t think of anything else but being with him one more time.

“I don’t understand,” she said, sitting up in the bed. “I don’t need a set of keys. Look, I really should go. This was a bad idea.” Maymi tried to move away from Jensen, but he pulled her back against his chest.

“No, I let you walk away from me once but I’ll be damned if I’ll be dumb enough to let it happen again.”

Sighing, Maymi pulled the covers around her body and looked at him. “We can’t go back to the way things were. Too much has happened between us. I know we just had sex, but this doesn’t change anything.

“First, we didn’t just have sex and I don’t want you to ever say that again to me,” he corrected. “Another thing is you misheard what I was telling Casper and before I could tell you, Jazmaine and Tatum were into our business.”
