Fighting Temptation (Men Of Honor)

by LYNN, K. C.

She gasps, “Oh my god, I look… pretty,” she says, as if surprised by the fact.

  “Of course you do, you always look beautiful Grace.”

  She smiles, “Thanks Julia.” I can tell she doesn’t believe me which makes me sad all over again.

  I’m the last one to get dressed, I go in and grab my dress, it’s almost identical to the one Grace borrowed but hot pink. I haven’t had a chance to wear it yet so I’m excited when I put it on. I grab my strappy silver heels, which thankfully aren’t too high because I’m not all that graceful in heels.

  The 3 of us stand in front of the mirror, Kayla wraps her arms around Grace and I, “We look fucking hot ladies!”

  I giggle and have to agree, we clean up good.

  Kayla looks over at me with a smirk, “How much you wanna bet we’re gonna see the Hulk come out when we go downstairs?”

  I roll my eyes, “Probably, he’s been pouting all day.” I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little excited for Jaxson to see me. I like it when he gets territorial and tonight I’m ready to test his control again.

  “Well then, let’s get this show on the road. I love irritating that guy,” Kayla walks out chuckling.

  Sawyer, Cade and I are at the table having a beer. I’m trying to be social but I’m in a pissy mood about Julia going out tonight.

  Why can’t their girls’ night consist of staying in the house and watching a movie? I mean, do they need to go to the club? It pisses me off to think of all the guys that will be sniffing around her all night.

  It’s been a long fucking week being around her constantly and not burying myself inside her like I want to. I haven’t whacked off this much since I was 14 years old. I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to be able to hold off.

  Suddenly Sawyer’s eyes bug out of his head as he looks at something behind me, “Holy shit!”

  A feeling of dread creeps in my stomach. I turn around slowly and look behind me to see the girls walking into the kitchen. My gaze zeroes in on Julia and I suck in a sharp breath at the site of her. My dick spikes along with my temper, “What the fuck are you wearing?”

  She narrows her eyes at me, “It’s called a dress, haven’t you ever seen one before?”

  “You’re not leaving looking like that.” Shit, I didn’t mean to have it come out quite like that.

  She scoffs but before she can respond Kayla jumps in, “Easy there Hulk, we don’t want things going smash!”

  The girls chuckle in unison like it’s some private joke. Sawyer joins too, although he’s laughing hysterically.

  “Well I personally think you girls look fucking incredible.”

  “Thank you Sawyer,” Julia responds sweetly while she glares at me.

  What an asshole.

  “Guys this is Kayla, Cooper’s fiancée,” Julia beams as she says fiancée.

  Sawyer smiles, “Ah yes the famous fiancée. Heard you girls had quite the night last night.”

  Julia and Kayla groan in unison.

  Julia points to Grace now, “And ya’ll remember Grace.”

  Cade nods and Sawyer lays on the charm, “Of course, I never forget a beautiful woman. How are you doing Grace?”

  “Fine thank you,” she responds quietly without looking at Sawyer, which pisses him off. His torment slightly eases my shitty mood until I look at Julia again.

  “Will you stop glaring at me?”

  I glare harder.

  “Whatever,” she mumbles then looks over at Kayla, “want to go wait outside? The cab should be here soon.”

  What the hell? “I told you I’d drive you there.”

  “And I said no thank you.”

  “Why the hell not?”

  Kayla pipes up, “Because if you take us they won’t let us in after the scene you will cause.” She follows up her comment with a shitty impersonation: “Hulk like Julia. Hulk smash anyone who look at Julia.”

  Sawyer laughs hysterically again, “I fucking love this girl!” To which all the girls burst out laughing at.

  Whatever!

  “See ya later boys, have a good night!” Julia blows me a kiss over her shoulder as she walks out.

  I seriously consider hauling her sweet ass upstairs and fucking the sass right out of her.

  Shit! I throw my chair into the wall and start pacing. What the hell am I going to do?

  “You bring this shit on yourself, you know that right?” Sawyer asks breaking through my thoughts.

  I glare at him, “It’s not that simple. I care more about her than I do about fucking her.”

  “Actually, it is that simple, take both. It doesn’t have to be one or the other you idiot.”

  “Lay off him, I get it,” Cade says stepping in.

  Sawyer grunts, “Of course you get it. You’re a fucking idiot too. I tell you boys if I had women like Faith and Julia after me I wouldn’t be fucking it up like you dumb asses. I’d be fucking them all night long,” he says smugly, which both Cade and I nail him for.

  Sawyer stops laughing then looks over at me seriously, “I’m telling you Jaxson, somebody is going to take that position sooner rather than later. You can’t expect her to be alone for the rest of her life. So if I were you, I would pull your head out of your ass and lay your claim before it’s too late.”

  I know he’s right. I can’t expect her to be alone forever and the thought of anyone else having her makes me sick.

  I look back at Sawyer to see him watching my torment with a stupid grin, “So are we going or what?”

  I make my decision, “Ya, we’re fucking going, just let me change.”

  He lets out a cheer, “Alright, busting up girls’ night!”

  I send Cooper a quick text and tell him to meet us there rather than come here first. Shit! I pray I know what the hell I’m doing.

  “Oh my god! This place is fucking awesome!” Kayla yells over the loud music.

  It is pretty great! I’m so thankful Katelyn’s name got us in so quickly. The line outside is huge and it’s packed in here.

  We walk up to the bar to order a shot, the handsome bartender welcomes us with a charming smile, “What can I get you ladies?”

  “Three lemon drops please,” Kayla says ordering for us all.

  “What’s that?” Grace asks the question I’m thinking.

  “You’ll see.”

  The waiter comes back with 3 shots and 3 lemon wedges with sugar on them. Or is that salt? We each grab a glass, Kayla raises hers, “Bottoms up ladies.”

  “Wait! To the future Mrs. McKay,” I say with a bright smile.

  She beams back, “Oh yours is much better.”

  We clink our glasses together and throw back the clear liquid. YUCK! Grace and I both cough with disgust. We quickly grab our lemon after watching Kayla do it. I suck mine clean, hmmm, actually that was pretty good.

  Kayla notices my expression, “See, it’s good right?” She starts laughing and grabs our hands, “Come on ladies, let’s dance.”

  For the next hour we drink and dance our asses off. After 4 shots and 2 drinks I’m quite tipsy and it feels fantastic. We are all having a blast, especially Grace, and it makes me so happy to see a genuine smile on her face.

  I laugh every time a group of guys come up to dance with us, if they get near Kayla she flashes her hand in front of their face, causing most of them to back off respectfully. Guys have been lining up to dance with Grace, some she has accepted, others not. I don’t mind anyone dancing with me, as long as they don’t grab inappropriately. There’s nothing more annoying than being treated like a piece of meat.

  The next song that plays is Ke$ha’s ‘Die Young.’ All three of us squeal, loving this song, and we let loose. The guy behind me grabs my hips and that’s when I suddenly feel someone’s gaze boring into my back. Even before I turn around I know exactly who it is; oh this is going to be fun!

  “Jesus Christ! This place is insane,” Cooper yells over the loud music as we make our way through the club.

  “No shit!”

&
nbsp; After waiting in line outside for almost 40 minutes a friend of Kayla and Julia’s spotted Cooper outside and got us in. If she hadn’t we would have waited at least another 40.

  It’s just Sawyer, Cooper and I. Cade decided to go to the gym instead. Sawyer says he spends most of his time there nowadays, putting his energy into working out. I have a feeling I know what he’s trying to work out of his system.

  My gaze searches for Julia as we weave in and out of people making our way across the crowded bar. Some chick purposefully rubs her tits into my chest as she passes by.

  “Sorry,” she giggles annoyingly. I ignore her and keep walking. Once we reach the bar we order a round of beers.

  “Holy shit there are some grabby skanks in here; my junk has been grabbed twice already,” Sawyer says, acting as if it bothers him to be assaulted.

  “Like you care.” The guy has screwed more than I have, which is saying something.

  “Hey I do! I have standards you know.”

  I grunt and I’m just about to say something when the breath gets knocked out of my lungs at the sight of Julia on the dance floor, looking like every guys wet dream. A new song starts that makes her and the girls go crazy and start dancing. And fuck can she dance. Her arms are thrown over her head as her hips move in rhythm to the beat. There’s a group of guys not far from them, one comes up behind her grabbing her hips to dance with her.

  Rage rushes through my veins, the fucker is dead. I slam my beer down and start over when Cooper grabs me, “Hold up, don’t go getting us all kicked out now.”

  My chest is heaving with anger when I look back to Julia. She freezes as if she can feel my furious gaze on her. She turns around, surprise flaring in her eyes when she spots me. Then she smiles smugly knowing what it’s doing to me to see this guy with his hands on her.

  I shake my head slowly at her, my eyes warn her of what will happen if the asshole doesn’t take his hands off her. Turning around she says something to the guy causing him to make eye contact with me. He quickly looks away when he sees me glaring at him. Julia moves her hips to the rhythm until she is facing me again. Her smug smile becomes seductive as she dances her way over to me.

  Heat explodes through my body, coiling low in my stomach, and everyone falls away as I watch her body move in time to the music.

  Once reaching me she turns around and shoves her beautiful tight ass against me. I suck in a sharp breath and grab her hips firmly, my fingers digging into her flesh. She smiles at me over her shoulder when she feels my raging hard on. Reaching one arm behind her, she curls it around my neck bringing my mouth close to her ear. Her scent penetrates my senses; the smell of lemons mixed in with her usual sweet scent. When I nip her pierced earlobe, she gasps and lets out the sexiest fucking moan, making me almost explode in my pants. I run my mouth along her slender throat, feeling the rapid beat of her pulse against my lips. I suck and lick at her delicate skin wanting to brand her with my mouth, so every fucker in the place will know she’s mine. She whimpers and grinds against me eagerly with her sweet little body.

  Damn! I’m so fucking turned on right now it’s taking every bit of control I have not to slip into her from behind and fuck her right here.

  When the song ends she turns around wrapping her arms around my neck. Surprise flashes in her gaze when I pull her flush against me; the glazed look in her eyes is a mixture of alcohol and lust.

  “What are you doing at my girls’ night? I thought I said ‘no penises allowed’.”

  A growl erupts from my throat before I can stop it, “And what about the prick who just had his fucking hands on you. He has a dick.”

  She smiles, “Why yes he does. What are you going to do about it Jaxson?”

  My blood pressure spikes along with my dick at her challenge. I lean in close to her ear so she can hear me over the pounding music, “I’m going to take you home and bury myself so deep inside that sweet pussy of yours. My scent will cling to every part of you. Then every fucking guy in the world will know you’re mine.”

  I barely register her gasp before my mouth descends upon hers possessively. She whimpers against my lips, giving me access to slide my tongue in her hot, wet mouth. The kiss is desperate and every slide of our tongues is achingly perfect. I decide I need to get her out of here now. This night has been coming for a long time and I can’t wait anymore.

  Pulling back I stare into her glazed eyes that are burning with need and questions, “Is that what I am Jaxson, yours?”

  I cup the back of her neck and bring her face close to mine, our foreheads almost touching, “You’ve always been mine Julia, in every way that matters.” The uncertainty in her eyes causes my chest to tighten. She doesn’t believe me and I don’t blame her. I let out a breath, “I don’t know what the future can hold for us Jules, but I think this week has proven we can’t go back to what we had before.”

  Bringing her hands up she wraps her slender fingers around my wrist that is cupping the side of her neck. “Then we’ll make a new us.”

  I nod and tamp down the panic that threatens choke me.

  Please don’t let me fuck this up.

  “Let me take you home. I can’t wait anymore.”

  Her eyes search mine and I hold my breath in anticipation of her response. She nods, “Alright, let me go say goodbye first.”

  Leaning down I press a hard kiss to her mouth before letting her go. I look over to Sawyer, “I’m taking off. You’re ok to catch a ride with Coop?”

  His eyes are glued to the dance floor and he looks seriously pissed off. When I follow his gaze I realize he’s glaring fire at the guy dancing with Grace.

  “Ya, it’s fine,” he waves me off, not once looking away from the guy.

  I chuckle and say goodbye to Cooper. As I walk towards Julia I see the asshole who had his hands on her earlier, eyeing her with eagerness, as if she’s come back to dance with him. I speed up and his look vanishes when he sees me charging at them.

  I grab Julia from behind and she gasps in surprise when I pick her up. “What the hell are you doing?!”

  “Time’s up Julia, say goodbye to your friends.”

  She sputters in protest but I ignore her. “It’s about damn time,” Kayla yells, laughing at my retreating back.

  “Put me down right now Jaxson, you’re embarrassing me.”

  Again, I ignore her. The cool night air hits us as I push open the doors and rush Julia over to my truck. Opening the passenger door I toss her inside, her hair is a tangled mess around her pissed off face. “Ugh! You are such a Neanderthal, what the hell…”

  I slam my mouth down on hers, silencing her protest. Her response is instant and she starts making all her sexy noises that drive me fucking crazy. I tear my mouth from hers and shove my hand up her dress. I groan when I feel her panties soaked. “I’m done waiting Julia, I need to get you home and sink into your hot pussy before I lose all control.”

  Her eyes flare with heat and she arches when I cup her firmly, “Oh, okay then.”

  I chuckle at her breathless response. Pressing one more kiss to her lips I pull my hand away and slam the door.

  Silence and sweet hot anticipation fills the truck most of the way home. I feel her looking at me, when I glance at her she’s staring at me with a grin, “Wanna know something?”

  “What?”

  “I’m just a wee bit drunk,” she says giggling, holding up her thumb and pointer finger with a small space between them.

  I grunt amused, “Tell me something I don’t know.”

  I feel her shift beside me, “Does it make you want to take advantage of me Jaxson?”

  Something in her tone makes me look back at her.

  Oh fuck!

  Her body is angled towards me, her back leaning against the door. One leg is brought up on the seat, bent at the knee, giving me the perfect view of her sweet pussy hidden behind a pair of black silk panties. I inhale sharply when she starts trailing a single finger up the inside of her thigh.

 
; Jesus! I’m going to fucking come before I even get us home. I clench my teeth, not finding her cute anymore, “Stop that shit now Julia! I mean it. Turn around and sit properly till we get home.” She giggles her ass off, finding my response fucking hilarious.

  Thankfully it’s only a minute later when we pull up to her house. I slam on the brakes and barely have the truck shut off before I’m out my door. I grab Julia when she’s halfway out of the truck. Slamming the door, I pin her against it, and crush my mouth to hers. She threads her fingers in my hair and her moans fill the air while the kiss consumes us. God, I fucking love the taste of her. I could kiss this girl for the rest of my life and it still wouldn’t be long enough. Sliding my hands up the back of her legs, I slip them up her dress and grab her ass. She moans and bites down on my lip… hard. Growling I lift her off her feet and she wraps her smooth toned legs around my hips while I slam my aching cock against her.

  “Jaxson.” The breathless sound of my name falling from her sexy lips is almost enough to make me come. I rip down the top of her strapless dress and kiss the swell of her breast, trailing my mouth over her stiff nipple through the black satin, I bite down hard.

  “Ahhh,” she arches and digs her nails into my shoulders. Jesus Christ! I love the way she comes apart for me. Not being able to wait a minute longer I spin around and start racing to the door. I keep one arm around her while I dig in my pocket for the keys. She’s trailing kisses along my throat and jaw while I try to unlock the door. The goddamn thing is nothing but a hassle.

  “See Jaxson, this is why we shouldn’t bother locking the stupid thing.” Her breathless taunt spikes my dick harder, which I didn’t think was possible. I bring my hand up and wind it in her hair, tugging her head back so I’m staring into her seductive eyes, eyes that are screaming at me to fuck her.

  “What did I tell you about that smart-ass mouth of yours Julia?”

  She smirks, “Maybe you should shove something in it then to shut me up.”

  Ho-ly fuck!

  I’m assuming my facial expression is funny, because she laughs her fucking ass off.

  I grip her hair a little tighter, “Is that what you want Julia, my dick in your mouth?”
