Slick

by Kristi Pelton

  Then I saw a guy cup his hand around her waist and hand her a beer. Suddenly, I saw red. She smiled and nodded a thank you then he didn’t go away. He stood next to her and started conversation. Oh hell no!

  “We’re takin’ 10,” I said to Tyler as I leapt off the stage and headed straight for them.

  When she saw me her eyes brightened. “Hey!” She smiled, and I took the bottle from her hand as confusion flitted across her face.

  “Hi. I’m Bodhi,” I introduced myself to the dbag next to her and handed him the bottle back.

  “Don’t ever take a drink from someone you don’t know,” I instructed her.

  “This is Shawn. Elle knows him.”

  “This isn’t an episode of Lassie. There are mean people out there. Elle knows a lot of people. Don’t take a drink from someone that you don’t know. Please.” My tone was kind but serious.

  Her eyes narrowed.

  “Let me handle this,” the dbag named Shawn said to Tessa and then turned to me. I gave him my brightest smile when he touched my arm.

  “Get your fucking hand off me. And let’s get one thing clear. Tessa, who do you belong to?” I asked.

  Her eyes shot high on her head. “Well. My mother and father I suppose. But outside of them, I don’t belong to anyone.” She tilted her head to the side challenging me.

  Shawn chuckled out loud.

  “Tessa. Who’s taking you home later tonight to treat you to glorious sexual favors?”

  Her mouth fell open and she slapped my arm.

  “Answer the question, Slick,” I threatened with a warning tone but still maintaining my smile.

  Making a meal of her thumbnail, she stared at me as the blood invaded her cheeks. “Don’t speak with your hand in your mouth. Shawn won’t understand you clearly. Make it clear to him.” I winked.

  “You,” she mumbled.

  “I’m sorry. I couldn’t hear you. Did you say it was me who was taking you home and who might be fucking you tonight?” I clarified with a grin.

  “Yes,” she laughed, obviously thrown off balance with those words. “Did you want me to scream it to the entire bar?”

  “Perfect! I’ll get you the mic,” I teased and headed back to the stage chuckling. Once on stage, I took the mic from Ty and spoke gruffly into it. “Shawn. Walk away…” He looked at Tessa and then did as I asked.

  Tessa squinted at me with the ferociousness of a kitten and I shrugged with a grin. She would understand soon that she was mine.

  Neither Tessa nor I wanted to return to the house, so we drove straight to the boat. Here I was, 21 years old and acting like a 16-year-old boy unable to get enough of his girl. I hadn’t seen this coming. Not by a long shot.

  “What does holding hands mean?” I asked with her hand in mine.

  “Um…it means we like each other?” she questioned back.

  “That’s right and what does it say to everyone else?”

  She laughed out loud and pointed at me. “I know what you’re doing now. And, Bodhi…I don’t know your last name…I don’t belong to anyone!”

  I knocked her legs out from under her then cradled her up in my arms in one swoop. “Oh, Slick. You poor misinformed girl. You’ll admit it soon enough.”

  Her legs dangled over my arms. “I go to an all girls school where they teach us independence and woman power and crap!” She laughed. “We belong to no one!”

  I spun her in a circle. “Your fellow students may not…but you do!”

  “Whatever! Tell me your last name,” she asked, and I froze. There was no way in hell I wanted her to know my last name. Of course it would come up eventually, but I couldn’t risk it yet.

  “Wow. Look at the moon,” I said, trying to distract her.

  “Bodhi. Is this crazy?”

  All I heard in that question was doubt. I didn’t like doubt. And for me, I’d never been so sure of anything in my life—not in a long time.

  I jumped on to the boat with her in my arms.

  “Crazy?” I repeated. “Maybe a little. I know this wasn’t what I was expecting.”

  She yawned and rested her head on my chest. My girl was tired… My cock was awake—it would have to wait.

  “Can we stay out here for awhile?” she asked.

  “Of course.”

  I sat with her on my lap and simply held her until she pulled away and looked at me…her eyes hooded. I instantly recognized that look. I slowly said hello to her lips with mine. It had been hours since they’d touched each other. This time, it was her tongue that peeked out running the length of my bottom lip.

  “Mmmm,” I moaned, raking my fingers through her hair.

  “Don’t leave tonight,” she requested after our kiss slowed.

  I shook my head rubbing my nose over hers. “My guitar is in the Jeep. I have nowhere to go.”

  I pulled her in for a deeper kiss. Some kisses just weren’t that great…a tongue dart…sandpaper tongue…a weird rhythm making it awkward. But Tessa’s kiss, there was nothing like it. Her innocent lips searched for affection…for love…for me. The way her little tongue gently mingled with mine—it was like I had never kissed anyone before her. I drank her in as if my life depended on it.

  The wind picked up putting a slight chill in the air. After her second shiver, I headed below to grab a blanket to wrap her up in.

  When I got back, I found her sleeping.

  “She sleeps,” I whispered, throwing the blanket out and covering both of us. I pulled her close causing her to stir…the faint smell of beer on her breath. I closed my eyes praying sleep would find me.

  When I opened my eyes, I could have sworn I was having a wet dream. That intense feeling of pleasure that wakes you and it’s almost too late—you missed the party. But I wasn’t too late. The party had just gotten started.

  “Tessa,” I groaned out loud, which drew her eyes up to me, but her lips remained on the head of my cock. Fuck…

  She only had the tip in but damn that was enough.

  “I so totally don’t know what I’m doing,” she whispered. “But I wanted to try.”

  “You don’t have to do that,” I moaned when she flicked her tongue over the top then slid it in her mouth again.

  “Bodhi, teach me what to do,” she begged grazing her teeth on the side. Lesson 1!

  “Baby, don’t use teeth, OK?” Immediately she switched back to lips. She gently took my cock in her hand and pulled her head back to look up at me

  “Sorry. You gently used your teeth on my nipples so I just thought…”

  I scooted up so I could see her better. “If you don’t like that I won’t do it again,” I said, lifting her hair. Damn.

  “I liked it ok,” she said.

  With every bob of her head she went just a little deeper but stopped when she gagged a bit. I caressed her jaw as my balls tightened. This was the slowest but most intimate blowjob I’d ever gotten and given with great care. I smiled down at her and for some reason she picked up the pace.

  “God, Tessa,” I hissed as my stomach clenched in anticipation.

  Her hand worked the base of my cock while her mouth covered the upper half and when she licked the top tasting the come that had leaked out…she moaned, and that unexpectedly sent me flying over the edge.

  Panicked, I pulled out of her mouth just as come shot into her hair and then all over my shirt.

  “Fuck, I’m sorry,” I apologized as she sat on her knees with my come dripping from her hair. I yanked off my T-shirt and tried wiping it.

  “Why’d you do that? I thought you’d want me to…you know,” she laughed leaning in to let me clean her hair.

  “I didn’t mean for that to happen.” Hell, I didn’t mean to shoot it so fast. “I am so sorry. I didn’t know if you wanted to try that.”

  Like a little monkey, she crawled up my lap looking sexy as hell, and I wondered if she knew it was her turn—needing to be fair and all.

  “I’d like to try,” she whispered near my ear and my dick st
arted hardening again. Damn this girl.

  “Hey, Slick?”

  “Mmmm?” she nestled back under the covers like she was going back to sleep.

  “Remember last night when I made you come with my thumb?” I growled around the shell of her ear.

  “Uh, huh.”

  Her breathing was already out of whack and I grinned. Beneath the blanket, I untied what little shirt she had on and her tits fell into my palms. I massaged them, softly rolling her nipples between my thumb and finger. She arched back into me.

  “My tongue on your pussy is going to feel so much better.”

  Her eyes widened slightly, and I heard her breath catch.

  I laid her back on the blanket as I moved out from under her. While I sucked her nipples into my mouth, I unfastened her shorts and inched them down along with her lacy silk panties. Once again, her panties were already drenched. Obviously it had excited her to get me off too.

  After I kissed down her abdomen, over her hipbones and to her thighs, I tested the waters with my finger first. As soon as I traced over her clit, she bucked up and gasped. She had no idea the intensity of my mouth.

  “Tessa…baby…I need you to relax and talk to me.” I continued to kiss around her thighs.

  “What do you mean?” she groaned.

  “Tell me if you’re all right. Tell me if you like what I’m doing? OK?”

  “Mmm hmmm,” she moaned, and I drew my tongue torturously slow up her center.

  “Ahhh. Bodhi…”

  “You like that, baby?”

  “Yes.”

  I had a hunch she would break apart pretty quickly so I moved in for the kill slowly—swirling my tongue around her clit as she arched her hips upward again.

  “Is that too much?” I asked, pulling away.

  “Oh my God. It feels so good.”

  I laughed softly and blew hot air over her skin before I started again…this time gently sucking her clit into my mouth.

  “Aaah!” she reared up again and I couldn’t help but smile.

  Fuck it…this was never going to happen if I didn’t hold her down. So I wrapped both arms around her legs and gripped her hips…then smiled to myself as I lowered my mouth tasting her sweetness.

  The second my tongue began its assault, her back arched up, but I firmly secured her in place.

  “Bodhi,” she cried out in the night; I didn’t give a shit who heard. As my tongue relentlessly swirled around her nub and she squirmed against me, I brought in one final weapon…my finger. The sound it made sliding in caused my cock to grow another damn inch. Unable to resist, I dipped my tongue into her wetness. Jesus Christ I’d never tasted anything like her. I was the fucking Starship Enterprise—going where no man had gone before—and I had no interest in ever turning back.

  “Bodhi. It’s gonna happen,” she panted as my finger slid in and out and my tongue worked it’s magic.

  She reached up and grabbed fistfuls of her hair. The instant I softly sucked her clit into my mouth moaning and vibrating just a bit, she released…crying out. I stilled my finger so I could feel her pulse around me. As I stared down at her, bared to me…glistening and swollen…I realized for no damn good reason, this girl trusted me. I’d found someone who believed in me. That felt so good. There was no way I’d let her down. Pleasing her…teaching her…was now my sole purpose. I was going to be the goddamn teacher of the year.

  Chapter 19—Tessa~ I fucked up

  “So how’s Ben?”

  Elle shrugged. “I think OK. We’re having dinner tonight so I can’t come with you to the show.”

  I nodded. “What was up the the other night? You were acting really strange.”

  After she flipped over in her chair by the pool, she smiled. “Yes. I’d had a massage at the spa and my body hurt so I took some hydrocodone. Then I’d had a drink and…cuckoo.”

  That made sense.

  “What’s up with you and Bodhi?” she asked.

  All I could do was smile.

  She popped her gum. “Be careful, cuz.”

  My heart fell in my chest. “You think he’s going to hurt me?” I asked.

  “Nope. Just the opposite. Ben says he’s crazy about you. And sweetheart, Bodhi’s never been crazy about anyone.”

  This amazed me. He was freaking gorgeous. How had someone not captured this guy’s heart yet?

  “Elle. Help me understand this. What’s his story with girls?” I really needed to know.

  “Oh Bain Ellingston was the damn catch of the county, Tess. Some say he still is. Dazzling good looks. Singing love ballads to swooning girls. The only thorn was his poor decision. I mean the pictures are out there forever.”

  The good old Internet.

  “Has he told you about them yet?”

  I shook my head. I wouldn’t want anyone to know either.

  She smacked my leg. “Maybe you don’t have to tell him you already know. You leave in a month and a half anyway.”

  That thought made my stomach twist and I angled my face up toward the sun. I had a nauseated feeling I would be leaving Cali with a tan and a broken heart.

  Rain. An intense storm moved in over the next few hours. The O-Seed were supposed to play down the coast, and I texted Bodhi but hadn’t heard back.

  Flying sort of solo today, I sat in his room thinking about being with him. At this point, we had pretty much done everything but have sex. I wanted to seal the deal even though I knew that would only make leaving harder. As it was now, I wanted to stay—never return to my lonely life of private schools and all girls. The thought of living in this bedroom for the rest of my life was fine by me. Being in Bodhi’s arms…in his bed…was all I could think about. For the first time in my life, I felt wanted…loved.

  There was a knock on the door. Being the only one there, I opened it to find a smiling Ali standing there.

  I swallowed my hesitations knowing that he pretty much ended things with her to be with me. “Hey there.”

  “Hi. Tessa. I’m sure you remember me,” she laughed.

  I forced a smile. “What’s up? The guys aren’t here.”

  “I know. There are a group of us girls heading to the show and Bodhi asked if we’d bring you. Apparently Elle and Ben aren’t going and he wants you there.”

  RED FLAG! Even though her words of him wanting me there felt good…why had Bodhi spoken with her and not me? And for her to know about Ben and Elle…

  “We’re leaving in about a half hour, so if you’re wanting to go…”

  The end of her sentence hung in the air between us.

  I so wasn’t ready and Ali? Really? Something wasn’t right.

  “OK. Um. Hold on,” I said, stalling. “Let me grab some things.”

  She headed back to her little beamer and I ran directly to my phone where I tried to call Bodhi…three times. No answer.

  “Damn it,” I hissed and tried Elle too. Of course, no answer.

  After sliding a sheath sundress over my head, I pulled my hair into a sloppy bun and ran through the rain out to her car.

  “Sorry about the surprise. I don’t know if he thought I had your number or what. So I just came on by.”

  I buckled my seat belt. “It’s OK. Thanks for taking me.”

  After 30 minutes of uncomfortable silence, a couple of malicious jabs and driving in the pouring rain, I doubted any of what she had told me was true. We hadn’t picked up any friends of hers, and I wasn’t even sure if we were driving in the right direction. Bodhi still hadn’t responded and Elle called back but I clearly couldn’t talk so I ignored the call and texted.

  I’m with Ali. She picked me up. Said Bodhi said to. Driving me down the coast. Have no idea where we are. ????

  My phone rang immediately.

  “Yeah?” I answered.

  “Get the fuck out of her car now! Tess! What were you thinking?”

  I glanced over at Ali; her humorous glare concerned me.

  “Ben is calling Bodhi as we speak!” Elle shouted.
/>
  “Where are you taking me, Ali?” I asked with my phone still at my ear.

  “Tell Elle to fuck off and get back to her yayo.”

  Yayo? Elle heard that comment herself because she started yelling into the phone. My phone beeped signaling another call. Bodhi!

  I hung up on Elle.

  “Hey. I screwed up,” I embarrassingly stated into the phone.

  “Are you OK, Tessa?”

  “Yes.”

  “Where are you?”

  “I don’t know.”

  “Put me on speaker but hold onto your phone.”

  I lowered it to my lap and hit the speaker button.

  “OK. You’re on.”

  “Ali. I will say this one time and one time only.” Bodhi’s voice was low, gruff and commanded attention. I watched for a sign or a mile marker as he spoke. “Pull over that goddamn car and let her out now. And if you hurt one hair on her head, I swear to God, I will fucking kill you myself. Is that understood?”

  “She is so pathetic and weak. It would be soooo easy,” Ali sneered.

  For the first time in my life I actually had the overwhelming urge to punch someone. Both my fists clenched, but the speedometer read 65 mph.

  “Last chance, Ali. Pull the car over.” I’d never heard Bodhi like this.

  Ali yanked the car to the shoulder, hitting gravel on the side, and the car slid to a stop.

  “Get the fuck out!” she shouted, and after unbuckling, I did. In the pouring rain, alongside the highway that ran along the ocean. She spun out spitting gravel back at me and did a U-turn on the highway.

  “Where are you? Do you have a clue?”

  “I can see the ocean,” I laughed, trying to mask my fear. “Does that help at all? There is a sign for some shrimp shack.”

  “Listen, Tessa. I’ll be there as soon as I can. Is there some place you can take cover from the rain?”

  “I’ll be fine. Just hurry.” I tried to sound strong, but I was scared to death. I didn’t want anyone to think of me as pathetic and weak. I felt that way enough on my own, I didn’t need help.
