“I don't know. I guess I did. I don't care. I've never melted for someone so hard in my entire life. Every time he touches me, I just become putty in his fingers.”
“That usually only happens for Phil after I've gotten a really nice birthday gift or something.”
“You mean like that crappy ass bracelet you're wearing?” Jenna teased.
“Hey, he got me that incredible ring that once.”
“True. Well, I got to go get ready for work. Keep me updated on our plans for Operation Catch a Cheater.”
Fight! Fight! Fight!
The bar was especially rowdy when Jenna walked in. Friday nights were generally busy, but the customers seemed especially intent on getting drunk this night. Eli and his crew were in the middle of the chaos as usual.
“Jenna! Get your ass back here!” screamed Dan from behind the bar. It was odd for Dan to be serving the customers at his own bar. He much preferred to sit back and drink while he watched what was going on. That was another sign that it was going to be a very busy night.
“I'm coming!” Jenna ran behind the bar and immediately got to work serving the lines of people. She couldn't get to the people fast enough. The more people she served, the more people seemed to join in line. Dan even stuck behind the bar for a while to help her get caught up.
“Alright, I'm out of here, Jenna. You're going to make good money tonight.”
“It looks that way,” she said.
Jenna kept busy throughout the night. She didn't have time to be offended by Eli's rude comments. She didn't even notice when James walked into the bar at sat down quietly. She helped about three people screaming for drinks before she saw him. As soon as she saw him, she made a point to get him his drink before anyone else. She placed it down in front of him and winked before getting back to the other customers.
Jenna counted the money in her head as she heard rude comment after rude comment from the drunk customers. She would never understand why these guys hit on her in such a crude way. They had to know that she wasn't going to just up and have sex with them one day. Yet, they continued. Jenna found relief in the money. She also found relief in the fact that James was there watching out for her.
The night got rowdier as the customers got drunker. Jenna never thought that she would be yelling at people to not climb on the bar or telling grown women to put their shirts back on. Nonetheless, that's how her night was going. Jenna could see James eyeing the people in the bar who were acting like fools. He made a special point to keep an eye on Eli and company.
Eli stayed away from Jenna when James was around. Now that he was drunk, he was brazenly shouting out to her and trying to touch her when he could.
“I'm sorry I'm so busy,” Jenna said to James when she finally found a second to talk without customer asking for something.
“It's okay. It's crazy in here,” he said. “You just keep working.”
“Thanks. Just make sure to let me know if you need something.”
At that point, Eli stumbled over to the bar.
“Hey, Jenna! Get off your creepy boyfriend and get me a drink!”
“The only creepy one around here is you,” Jenna said.
Eli proceeded to make kissy faces.
“So, Jenna. If I ride up here in a motorcycle and a beard, are you going to fuck me, too?”
“Leave her alone!” James said. “She doesn't need to put up with your bullshit all night.”
“Well, she has you here to protect her, right?” Eli laughed.
“Yeah. She does.”
“Well, what are you going to do about it?” Eli asked.
James got up from his seat and stood above the clearly drunk Eli.
“Do you not remember what happened the last time that you were rude to my lady?” Jenna was getting worried about how intense the scene was getting, but she couldn't help but notice that James called her his lady.
“Yeah. I do remember. I'm not so sure you'll be able to do it again, though,” Eli said. Then he looked over to the other side of the bar and motioned for people to come over. Three guys came up behind him. James was still bigger than most of the guys, and he was by far the most sober out of the men. However, James looked completely outnumbered by Eli and the men behind him. He still looked completely unafraid. “Are you going to throw all four of us out?”
“No. I'm going to tell you once to get the fuck out yourselves before this becomes a whole thing,” James said with a hint of daring in his voice. It sounded like he wanted Eli to fight him.
Jenna ran from behind the bar and in front of James.
“Don't do anything. Look, if he bothers me again, I will make sure that Dan kicks him out. I don't want to see you do something to get your-”
James pushed Jenna to the side.
“Stay out of it,” he said.
“But-”
“Jenna. Get back behind the bar.”
Jenna obeyed and went back behind the bar wondering exactly what James was going to do to Eli. She got her answer when Eli decided to strike first.
It looked like Eli had been waiting for this moment. He took his beer bottle and threw it at James, missing him entirely. Beer and glass covered the floor, and James instantly rammed his head into Eli's stomach, knocking him on the floor. Eli's little army decided to strike, and all three of them rammed James into a table. The table broke underneath James, but he emerged with a large piece of wood from the leg of the table. He swung at one guy, cracking the wood across his head. The wood fell into a number of different pieces on the ground. The guy fell to the ground, too, bleeding from his head. At this point, the entire bar was watching the fight screaming and shouting. Most of the people were screaming for the mysterious stranger to lose. Eli got up from the floor and tried to punch James in the face, but James blocked the punch, taking Eli's arm and bending it into submission. James took on the two remaining men until Eli got back up. This time, he had a pocketknife in his hand. James grabbed the knife from Eli without flinching and pushed Eli up against the wall with the knife to his neck.
“Are you going to fucking leave, pal?” James asked.
Eli looked defeated. He wanted to win, but there was nothing that he could do at this point. He unwillingly nodded until James dropped him on the ground.
“Now get the fuck out of here!” James said. “All of you! And I'm keeping your damn knife.”
Eli and his friends ran out the door with their heads low while the bar patrons laughed them out. James sat back down at the bar.
“Oh my God, are you dumb? Why did you do all of that? Are you okay?”
“Yeah. I'm fine. Can I just get a towel or something?” he asked. That was when Jenna saw the blood pouring from his clenched fist.
“Did you cut yourself when you grabbed the knife from him?”
“Quickly, Jenna!”
Jenna grabbed a towel and first aid kit to help patch up his hand.
“You might need to get stitches,” Jenna said.
“Please. It's a small cut. I just don't want to get blood everywhere. This place is already a mess.”
“I know. I'm gonna have to clean it up and serve people,” Jenna said.
“I'll help.”
James was good on his word, too. He helped pick up the pieces of wood from the broken table and take them out to the dumpster. He also helped clean up the glass and beer on the ground.
“You should tell your boyfriend over there not to get into fights in the first place, and he won't have to clean up this shit,” Dan told Jenna. He had seen the entire fight. Had he not been afraid of getting caught in the middle himself, he would have tried to stop it.
“I know. That was dumb. You know how annoying Eli can be, though.”
“No. I get it. I gotta say he's actually a pretty stand-up guy.”
Jenna was not expecting that. “You think so?”
“Yeah. He paid me for the table and a little extra to make up for the damage.”
“That's why you like him,”
Jenna laughed.
“Well, that helps. Tell him my job offer is always on the table, by the way.”
“Job offer?”
“Yeah. I asked if he wanted a permanent gig running security. He said that he already had some other business endeavors, though.”
“Yeah. He's really passionate about sales.”
“Funny. He seems a little unapproachable to be in sales. Well, just remind him that my offer is on the table.”
“Will do.”
“Well, I'm out for the night. It looks like things are dying down. You and James got things under control for the night?” Dan asked.
“Absolutely.”
James came back in after throwing the last of the wood out and sat back down at the bar.
“Can I get another drink?” he asked.
“Of course!”
“Thanks.”
“You know, you were pretty impressive out there,” Jenna said. “You took on four guys all by yourself.”
“It's really not that big of a deal.”
“It is, though. I feel like you're my knight in shining armor.”
“Please. I'm just a criminal who has been in a couple of fights in my day.”
“You really know how to work a knife, too. That was definitely not the first time you've done that.”
“It's really not that hard.”
“Well, I certainly couldn't do it.”
“Sure you could. It's not that hard.”
“Show me,” Jenna said.
“What?”
“You have the knife. And what if something happened when you weren't here? Why don't you show me?”
“Why don't we wait until after your shift ends?”
“That's probably a good idea,” Jenna said.
As soon as the doors closed, Jenna was anxious to learn how to defend herself with a knife. She eagerly locked the doors and ran up to James with a smile on her face.
“Are you ready?” he laughed.
“Yes! I want to learn how to be badass like that.”
“Well, the first lesson is that you need to chill out. You can't think straight when you're overly excited. Control your mind so that you are able to think.”
“I'm not really good at that,” Jenna confessed. “But I'll try.”
Jenna took some breaths and tried to calm down. At the very least, she tried to maintain a calmer demeanor.
“That's better,” James said. “Now, you need to get used to holding the knife.”
He pulled out the knife and put it into Jenna's hand. Jenna felt powerful.
“So where are you going to keep the knife?” James asked.
“In my purse?”
“Well, your purse is at the other end of the bar right now. Is that going to help?”
“I guess I have to keep it on me.”
“Exactly. Keep the knife in your pocket. In your bra if you absolutely have to.”
“It fits in my pocket just fine.”
“And can you pull it out quickly?”
“Yes. It's super easy to remove.”
“Good. You understand that you have to make sure that the knife is easily accessible. Here's the next very serious rule. This is important. Never take out the knife unless you are prepared to use it.”
Jenna nodded.
“Good. Now, pretend that I'm some asshole coming at you. Maybe you're walking home alone, and I grab you-” James grabbed Jenna from behind only leaving her one hand to use. “You need to act quickly, and you need to act precisely.”
Jenna used her free hand to quickly grab the knife from her pocket and turn around on James, putting the knife up to his neck.
“That was pretty good.”
“Thank you.”
“What happens if I block it? Grab your wrist?”
“I-I don't know.”
“You're not going to let that happen. When you bring out your knife, you don't want to scare somebody, especially if that person is bigger than you. Go for the gold and cut them, OK? Don't give them a chance to hurt you.”
Jenna nodded.
“Alright. Now, again.” James tried to trick Jenna, putting her in a hold. She came back just as quickly and put him up against the wall with the knife to his neck.
“I think I'm getting the hang of this,” she said.
“I think you are, too.”
James leaned in toward the knife and kissed Jenna until she dropped the knife on the ground. James flipped her around and threw her up against the wall of the closed bar. Jenna tried to move in closer to her lover, but he had her pinned. She still reached for a taste of him while he watched her lightly struggle. He pushed his body up against hers and let go of his grip, opting instead to kiss on Jenna's neck making her just as immobile. His kisses on her neck moved from her head down to her thighs. She was paralyzed by the sensations running through her body.
Her hands lightly gripped his shirt. “Please,” she whispered.
James grabbed her by the face and made Jenna look him in the eyes.
“Please what?” he asked.
“Please take me.”
James continued to look Jenna in the eyes as he slid his fingers underneath her skirt and under her panties. Jenna got weak at the knees.
“Is that what you want?” James asked. Jenna was shaking slightly.
“Yes!”
“Tell me how badly you want it,” he said.
“I want to feel you inside of me! I want you to make me cum!”
“How bad?”
“So badly! Daddy, please.”
James stopped rubbing Jenna between her thighs and pulled her breasts out from her shirt. He massaged them roughly before placing his tongue on her nipples. Jenna grabbed for his jeans to start unbuttoning his pants, and she could feel that he was ready for her.
She was able to undo his pants before James picked her up and put her up on the bar. Her skirt was riding up, and James moved her panties over to expose her lips. He pulled himself out from his jeans and rubbed his thick manhood on Jenna's wet slit before gently sliding it in. Jenna leaned her head back in ecstasy as James continued to pleasure her on the top of the bar. Jenna could feel every movement inside of her. She particularly loved his slow and controlled strokes, and he filled her completely, giving her the full extent of his huge cock. She could feel his eyes on her, studying her body's reactions to his strokes. “Yessss daddy,” she moaned softly.
James pulled her down from the bar and placed her in front of him, facing the bar. He entered her from behind and picked up his pace, turning Jenna's gentle moans into loud uninhibited screams. Her juices covered him. Jenna could feel her body pulsating, getting ready for climax. James brought Jenna down to her knees, and he made her taste herself on his manhood. He put her on the bar and entered her again. He kissed all over her body as he continued to make love to her. As Jenna's body tightened around him and her moans got less and less controlled, Jenna felt the light grip of his hand on her hair. James looked into her eyes and kissed her long and hard as she fell into climax. “Ohh my God! Oh shit! Mmmm” she screamed.
Jenna clumsily put herself back together after their encounter while also kissing over James's body.
“You're incredible,” she said
“You weren't so bad yourself,” James smiled. “You don't have to go home do you? We could go back to the hotel and have a couple of repeats.”
“Yes!” Jenna said excitedly. She could still feel some of her juices on her upper thigh, and she was beyond satisfied, but she couldn't get enough of his love.
Jenna locked the door of the bar and immediately went off with James to his hotel. As usual, he took a long route to enjoy the ride. Jenna wanted to continue the carnal pleasure that she had just experienced, but being on the back of the bike was a pleasure in itself. She held on tight and didn't question how far they were going to go or how long it would be until they arrived at the hotel.
When they got to the hotel, Jenna jumped on top of James the second they w
alked through the door. She kissed him and allowed him to touch her all over her body. Articles of clothing started dropping onto the floor. Soon, James's jacket and boots, tee shirt and jeans were on the floor next to Janna's skirt, shirt, bra, and panties. She kept her heels on when they made their way to the bed.
James and Jenna spent all night entwined in each other. Hours of sweat, moan, and passion filled the night until Jenna was too exhausted to continue anymore. James gently kissed her forehead and helped her naked body lay on his bare chest. She fell asleep to the soothing sound of his heartbeat.
The next morning, James was up before Jenna. She woke up to the sunlight coming into the window, and she saw James smoking a cigarette at the small hotel table looking through his phone intently.
“Good morning,” Jenna said.
“Morning, beautiful,” James said.
“What are you doing?”
“Nothing. Making plans for the day. I have time for breakfast if you're interested, though.”
Jenna didn't want to push the topic too much, but she couldn't help but remember Dan's generous job offer the night before.
“Yeah. Breakfast sounds great.”
Jenna hopped on the back of James's bike until they found themselves at the local diner. While Jenna was enjoying her country skillet, she knew that she had to bring up the job offer.
“I'm not going to be a fucking bouncer at a bar,” James laughed.
“Why not? It's a decent job, and Dan has several bars. I think he wants you to manage security.”
“He can't pay me enough.”
“What's more important? A lot of money or your safety? And my safety?”
“I'm not putting you in any danger,” James snapped. “Now, that's the end of that conversation. Come on, I'll drop you off at home.”
Espionage
Jenna wanted desperately to divulge everything about James to Mandy and Phil when she got home. She didn't know how to explain him being a drug dealer. She really didn't know how to explain him turning down the job offer. And she really, really didn't know how to explain the way she was a complete sucker for his touch.
