Chapter 1
JUSTIN
Justin eased back in his chair, sinking a little lower to give the woman on her knees more room to work.
He wasn’t particularly into it, but when stress was high, any mouth would do. If only he could switch off his hearing to block out the exaggerated, porn-star moans she was making, it would be a lot more enjoyable.
With one hand, he held her hair, keeping her exactly where he wanted her. With the other, he reached over to crank up the radio volume.
Sound had a way of echoing in his clubhouse office, and he was grateful when her noises became less audible.
Heather glanced up at him through her lashes, winking before doubling her efforts.
Justin fought the urge to roll his eyes, instead closing them to imagine someone else was doing the job. He didn’t know who that someone else would be, but he settled on a movie star to get him across the finish line.
He was close now, eager for it to be over. He knew that if he pushed her down and thrust up, it would hit the spot he needed to finish.
So he did, picturing a faceless woman with soft hair, and felt his climax surge out in four or five powerful waves as he grunted.
Opening his eyes, he watched Heather licking him clean. It took all his self-control not to yank himself out of her mouth and toss her out.
“Oh Justin, that was so good! I love the way you taste, it’s so sexy!” she cooed.
He couldn’t help it and rolled his eyes. “Yeah, thanks, Heather. Now you can show yourself out. I have work to do.”
She pouted as she sat back on her heels. “You don’t want to help me out?”
“Nope. I have things to do. And you know I don’t eat pussy,” he replied, standing up, stuffing his semi-soft dick back in his pants, and zipping up.
“How about a finger or two?” she asked.
“NO. Now get out,” he growled, sitting back down to look at his computer screen.
“But, Just—”
“I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT!” he yelled.
Heather jumped a little. “You don’t have to be such an ass! I’ll leave and see if Logan needs any help.”
Justin grunted his indifference and turned his chair back to his desk, dismissing her.
“I’ll see if Kelly wants to get something going at Pauly’s party. We can have a threesome again, baby,” Heather purred.
Justin motioned for her to go to the door. She left, blowing him a kiss, and he let his hands rub over his face in frustration.
He jumped when he heard a sarcastic voice say, “You know there are better ways to relieve stress. Ways where you don’t make others want to vomit when they hear it or for you to catch an STD.”
Justin looked up, unamused. “Ha, ha, Sis. Thanks for the memo.”
She smirked, “I’m just saying…”
“Well, what else do you have to say? I have things to do. I’m trying to get some work done,” he said, suddenly tired.
“Oh, I know you do. But I have another doctor’s appointment this afternoon, so you have to pick up Miss Thang from school today.”
He flopped his head back. “Shit, I forgot about that.”
“I know you did, that’s why I’m here to remind you. You doing okay, big brother?” she asked, suddenly concerned.
“Yeah, I’m okay. Just a lot on my mind for some reason... Trying to see if we should expand the shipping business or start up something else.” He sighed.
She went over to him and cupped his face.
“You will figure it out, Jussy, just like you always do. But I worry about you... You need to find someone to settle down with, make a family with. Someone Lexi can look up to.”
“Not settling down, already told you that. Marriage and old ladies aren’t for me. And besides, she has her Aunty Kiki to look up to,” he said, smiling softly at her.
“Don’t butter me up.
“I start the hormone shots in a few days and will be a raging, emotional mess, so just keep this conversation in the back of your mind when you want to kill me and dump my body along route 52,” Kiki said.
He felt a pang in his heart knowing how badly his little sister and best friend wanted a baby of their own and how hard it had been for them. He hated that it was so much work and heartache.
He patted her hand. “I’ll keep that in mind. Now go and let me figure this out.”
Kiki leaned down and kissed the top of his head. “Set an alarm so you don’t forget Lexi, and remember she has the new teacher. Cute little thing too.”
Justin waved her off, setting an alarm to remind him to get his daughter.
She chuckled as she left, closing the door behind her and muttering, “Hopefully he doesn’t forget! I love him, but he can be such a dumbass.”
