I was sure I was all red and bothered when I got back to the table, but neither of them noticed I even came back.
Conner returned a few minutes later and insisted on paying for all of our meals. When it was all said and done the night had gone by so fast. It was like I tuned everyone out for the whole meal. Rick put his arm around me as we were leaving and shook Conner’s hand. As I climbed in the car, I caught him walking Heather to her car. I wanted to know if they would leave together. I needed to know if he would sleep with her the first night they met. A single tear trickled down my cheek as we pulled out of the parking lot.
I was so jealous. I just wanted it to be me.
Chapter 15
Conner
Her husband was a total scumbag and if I wasn’t trying to steal his wife away, I would have liked to give him a piece of my mind. If I’d ever felt bad about wanting her so much, it went out the door when I saw the way he acted around Heather. He didn’t care about Amy and she sure didn’t deserve to be treated the way he treated her.
I was just going to say my goodbyes to Heather and be on my way, but the girl just wouldn’t give up. No wonder Ty had trouble with the chick when they were in college. She wouldn’t take no for an answer and I knew that denying her could ruin my chances for finding out the truth.
She played with my hands as we stood next to her car. “So, you never told me how long you’re staying in town. You think maybe we could hook up again?”
I smiled, showing off my dimples and kissed her hand. It was better than kissing her mouth. I’d drank five beers, but it wasn’t enough to jump right into the shit. “I’ll be here for a couple of weeks and then I plan on coming back for a job I’m workin’ on.”
She placed her hands on my chest and leaned up, waiting for me to respond to her. I kissed her on the cheek and pulled away quickly. She backed away and bit down on her lip. “Where you staying tonight?”
“I got a room at a hotel while I’m workin’ here.”
“Maybe you could invite me over before you have to leave?” She kept running her hands up and down my chest.
I grabbed her hands and moved them off of me gently. “Why don’t you give me your number and I will.” She reached her damn hand in my pocket and pulled out my phone. Realizing that I had a picture of Bella on it, I grabbed it out of her hand. “It’s been actin’ up. Just tell me the number and I’ll put it in, or better yet, I’ll call you so you have mine too.”
After giving me the number she was still all up in my business. “It’s still early, you want to go out somewhere?”
I smiled and shook my head. “I’m here workin’ on a construction job and we get up real early in the mornings. It’s best if I get back and get some sleep. Why don’t you give me a call tomorrow and we can make plans.”
She leaned back against her car and took her index finger, motioning me to come toward her. I knew what she wanted and I had to close my eyes and pretend to enjoy the shit. I had to keep in mind that she wasn’t bad looking and I was sure she knew what she was doing. Our lips met and I did my best to give her a kiss that would make her think about me for the rest of the night. When I pulled away, she was all smiles. “I’ll call you tomorrow, Conner.”
“Can’t wait!” I lied.
I watched her pull away and waited to climb into my truck. This was going to be harder than I thought and it wasn’t just because I was pretending. I couldn’t get my damn head to stop picturing Amy going home with that bastard.
When I got back to the farm, I already had a damn text from Heather. I decided to go with it and get to know her enough to where we could end this thing quickly.
Once I got into the house, everyone was already asleep, I started to walk back to my room and I saw my sister’s cell phone sitting on the table. I grabbed it and sat down on the couch, scrolling down until I found Amy’s number. I thought about what to say to not get her in trouble.
Think it went well. Thanks for doing this. Hopefully he can keep his mind off of Blaze.
I got up and grabbed a beer, deciding to take the phone into my room. She wasn’t going to come out looking for it and I wanted to talk to Amy.
A few minutes later it chimed.
Wow, home already? Glad it all worked out and you’re happy.
Yes, I’m home. So what are you doing?
In my room.
Are you alone? Your husband is a dick.
Are we talking as Miranda or Conner now?
What do you think?
I think we better erase these as we send them and I know who I’m talking to. How did it go when we left?
I really don’t like her.
Just figure out a different way to help them then.
No, the plan will work fine. Trust me. She can’t wait to see me again.
Why is that?
Because I left her wanting more of my awesomeness.
I’m going to bed now.
Blaze, I was thinking about you during the kiss. I swear.
Shut up! Erase them all.
What are you wearing?
Granny panties and a smock. Goodnight Conner!
Goodnight, Blaze… Don’t be mad. You know you’re my favorite.
Stop texting me! I don’t like you right now.
Liar.
I flipped through and erased all the messages before taking the phone back to the kitchen. Amy never wrote back, but I double checked just to make sure. She was mad at me and I knew she would be. It wasn’t fair for me to keep egging her on.
When I got back in my room, I remembered I still had to answer the other chick.
Can’t wait to see you again…Goodnight. - C
Can’t wait either. Call me tomorrow. – H
I tossed my phone down on the bed and went to sleep.
The next day, I had to force myself to talk to Heather. Ty was beginning to show signs of breaking down. I could tell that it was tearing him apart and honestly, it was the only thing that kept me going on this scheme of mine. I just had to keep this up without anyone knowing. When I got some solid proof, I would be able to tell Ty and hopefully make everything better.
Amy refused to talk to me, even when I stole my sister’s phone late that night and texted her. The more she rejected me, the more it made me want her.
My sister’s shower was coming up and I knew she’d be there. The problem was that the whole family was going to be there too.
Heather was a real pain in my ass. After I called her after our date, the girl wouldn’t leave me alone. The thing was, I knew I needed to take things slow and get her to trust me. It wasn’t like I could just fuck her and find out the truth. I needed to catch her in her own lies. After making several lame ass excuses about having to work, I agreed to have her meet me at my motel room. Of course, I had to actually go and rent one to make it believable. When the damn clerk gave me the same room that I rented for Amy, I felt my stomach knotting up. There was no way in hell I was going to taint that night, with this first class whore.
I was determined that no matter how much she tried, I was not going to sleep with her.
She came in wearing a little skirt and a low cut shirt, revealing way too much skin for me not to look. I was a man after all and in all honesty I didn’t have to answer to anyone. In her hand was a bottle of wine. She checked me out as she walked by and sat her stuff down on the table, before sitting on the bed. “I’ve been waiting all day to see you.” She patted the bed beside her. “Why don’t you come over here and say hello?”
I sat across from her. “How about I sit over here and get to know you a little better first.”
She bit her lips and leaned over just enough for her cleavage to be directly eye level with me. “Don’t tell me you’re shy?”
I kept my baseball hat facing forward but rearranged it on my head and laughed at her comment. “Hell no! I ain’t shy. I just like taking my time with a pretty lady. That’s all.”
She popped open the wine bottle and took a long sip from it. �
��We’re both adults here and since you’re traveling, I can imagine how lonely you must get. This town is lame and their isn’t one man around that even compares to how fine you are. I think you and I could be a lot of fun.”
I ran my hands over my legs. “Yeah? You have some kind of special skills I should know about?”
She stood up and walked over to the bed where I sat. “I have lots of skills. How about I give you a little sample?” She licked my shirt where my nipple was underneath while unbuttoning her little top. Her nipples were already protruding out of her lace bra. She leaned in and brushed them against my face. I tried to close my eyes and think about building a barn or shoveling cow shit, but her fucking tits were rubbing over my mouth, blocking my mind from working right.
By the time she unhooked her bra and was topless, I just stopped playing around and went with it. It was just sex. Just an easy lay.
The end to being with Amy.
Seriously, what was I supposed to do?
She started unbuttoning my jeans and reaching her hands down my pants. Now, I had a lot of self-control, but a half-naked chick had her hand on my dick, Of course it was getting hard. “Well, aren’t you full of big surprises.” She giggled and licked up my shaft.
She has to think I am into her.
I grabbed the sides of the bed and gritted my teeth, trying to think of a reason to stop her, but I couldn’t think of one. I didn’t like the girl, but she was hot and she wanted to suck me off. I wasn’t a fucking saint, so I let her continue. The girl knew what she was doing. Her mouth was big and she could take me in further than other girls. She used her saliva to make it extra slippery and jerked me off really hard while she bobbed her pretty head up and down. I grabbed her by her hair and pushed her down onto me further. I heard her gagging and pushed her down again, getting off by the sound of her taking me in so far. I could feel my release finally coming and she took it like a champ in her mouth and then ran in the bathroom to spit it out.
By the time she came out of the bathroom, I had already buttoned up my jeans. If she thought I was going to return the favor, she was in for a rude awakening.
She climbed on the bed beside me and tried to kiss me. “Sorry, I don’t kiss after that. It’s just a rule I have.”
She looked disappointed but kissed me on the cheek and stood up. “So, what should we do now?”
My phone started ringing and it caught me off guard. I held up my finger and pulled it out of my pocket. I didn’t recognize the number and it was nearing nine at night.
Hello?
Conner. Can you come get me?
I could tell she was crying right away.
Where are you now?
I hid my car behind the bar again.
I’ll be there in ten minutes. Hang tight.
I turned around and looked at Heather. “That was work. Somethin’s come up and I gotta go back to the jobsite. Can we continue this another time?”
She looked disappointed, but stood up and walked toward the door. “Are you going to call me?”
Just to keep her interested, I smacked her on the ass. “You’re damn right I will.”
“Later, sexy.” She blew me a kiss before walking out the door.
Wow, a year ago I would have tore that shit up!
I waited for her to leave the parking lot before I ran out and headed in the opposite direction to find Amy.
Chapter 16
Amy
My night was going fine until my step daughter came home with hickeys all over her neck. Rick wasn’t home yet and I scolded her for being so irresponsible. Of course, the moment he walked in the door, all he could hear was us screaming at each other.
He came right to her defense and then noticed the hickeys. I couldn’t smell alcohol on him, but from the way he was being all loud and unsteady, I knew he’d been drinking. His daughter went running into her room and slammed the door, while he stood there with me in the corner.
He went to reach his hand out toward me and I flinched and threw my arms to cover my face. His eyes got real big and he grabbed me and threw me down on the ground. “You want something to be scared of, bitch?”
The back of his hand slapped me in the face. “Please stop hurting me,” I begged.
“Aww, you poor baby. You going to cry and run out like you always do? Go ahead you whore. Run out and find yourself a pimp, cause there ain’t no other man that will ever want your sorry ass again. When I’m through with you, nobody will ever want you again.”
I darted for the door, grabbing my purse and keys as I ran. Unlike other times, he actually chased me outside, throwing his fists into my hood as I backed out of the driveway.
I caught myself screaming out loud as I turned the car around and pulled away just before he made contact with the driver’s side window.
I hauled ass into town and pulled my cell phone out of my purse. I didn’t care about using my cell phone. I just needed to feel safe and there was only one person that could make me feel that way.
Conner pulled up right next to my car and jumped out right away. I was finally calming down, but when he opened the door and pulled me out, I lost it again. “It’s okay. I’m here now. You’re safe, darlin’.”
“I’m so sorry I called you. I didn’t know what else to do.”
He held my hand and helped me into his truck. “I told you to always call me.”
When he drove us back to the hotel and walked me right into a room without checking in, I gave him a funny look, but walked in and laid down on the bed. He climbed in behind me and pulled me into his arms. I laced my fingers into his and let my eyes close as I cried. He kissed the top of my head. “Please leave him. This has been going on for too long. It’s been more than six months now, Blaze. I want to kill that fucker with my bare hands.”
I turned around so that I was facing him. His arms wrapped around me again and he kissed my forehead. I was still sniffling and having trouble talking. “Please don’t talk about it right now. Just make it go away, Conner. Please just make it go away.”
He held me there in that silent room for the longest time without speaking. I didn’t need him to talk, I just wanted to feel safe. I traced the tattoo on one of his arms with my fingers and brought his hand up and rubbed it against my face. Conner took my hand and kissed it. “You feel better now?”
“I always feel safe when I’m with you, Conner. Even when I’m mad at you, I know you won’t ever hurt me.”
“I would never lay a hand on you, Amy.” He kissed my nose. “Not ever.”
I looked around the room and thought about his words. “Conner, were you here with someone when I called you?”
He cleared his throat and turned over on his back, letting go of me. I sat up on my elbow waiting for him to say something, but the truth was all over his face. I started to get off the bed and he grabbed me and pulled me back toward him. “I didn’t sleep with her, Amy, I swear.”
“She was here, in this room with you? You would have slept with her if I hadn’t called. Oh my god!” He kept holding me against him. “Let me go. You’re a whore.”
“You know why I had to bring her here. She thinks this is where I am staying while I work here. Would you stop trying to get away from me.” He grabbed both of my hands and slid on top of me so I couldn’t move. “There’s only one person that I want to be with and it ain’t her.”
I looked away from him, even as he kissed my cheek. “You have a terrible way of showing me you want me. Hooking up with someone else is not exactly a turn on.”
He started laughing at me. “You have room to talk. You’re jealous that I messed around with someone else, but you sleep next to your husband at night. How am I supposed to feel about that, Blaze? It goes both ways here. I don’t want to be in a relationship with Heather, especially after tonight. I’m done with being with easy women.”
I rolled my eyes and looked at him. “You probably say that to all the girls you bring here.”
He let go of me and fel
l on the bed beside me. I watched him run his hands through his hair. “Woman, you make me crazy. I swear I think it’s what makes me want you so damn bad. You are so indecisive. One minute you hate my guts and the next you’re gettin’ all jealous. Make up your mind.”
I shoved him off the bed and sent him rolling onto the floor. “I can’t make a choice right now and you know it.”
He kneeled and put his arms on the bed facing me. “See that’s the thing. You don’t want to be with me, and you don’t want me to be with anyone else. How is that fair at all?”
I grabbed my head and rubbed my temples. “Talk about something else.”
He jumped up on the bed again. “No! I want to know. Tell me why you don’t like me seeing other women.”
“Please stop it, Conner.”
He leaned into my neck and kissed it. “Tell me, Amy.”
I got up and ran into the bathroom, slamming the door behind me. My heart was beating so fast. I heard him knocking lightly on the door. “Why can’t you tell me.”
When I knew he wasn’t going to give up, I opened the door and saw him standing there. “Because I want you all for myself.” I put my hands on my hips. “Are you happy now? I mean, it doesn’t get us anywhere. I am still married and you are in the middle of seducing the town whore in order to clear your brother-in-law from something he may or may not have done. So now it’s your turn, Conner. What exactly was happening when I called?”
He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his kiss. “It doesn’t matter.”
“It matters to me.”
He rubbed my hair. “I barely get to be with you like this. Please can we just be together tonight. I will tell you anything you want to know tomorrow. Please. I miss you.”
Here was the problem. I missed Conner every single second of every single day until the next time I got to see him. I missed his touch and I missed the way he always made me feel safe. I wanted nothing more than to just be with him like we were, but in the back of my mind, I had to know the truth. “I just admitted that I may have real feelings for you.”
