up, “You’re not supposed to be back here.”
He caught me and kissed me solid before pulling back. “Get me a beer and give notice. You don’t work here anymore.”
“Now wait a minute.”
“No. Do what I tell you.” He ordered.
Slider walked in and raised his hand to tell me he wanted beers, now. I looked at Joe, “I’m not quitting.”
He kissed my forehead and patted my butt, “Don’t argue with me.” He turned and went to sit with Slider and his guys.
I looked at Rick, “Are you kidding me?”
He laughed standing up, “Welcome to the club Carly.” He turned and headed over to the guys.
I filled pitchers and handed them to the servers.
Joe called the manager over and quit for me about half an hour later. When Bobby told me he was sorry to lose me, I lost my mind.
I walked over to Joe and smacked him hard in the back of the head. “You asshole!! I told you I wasn’t quitting my job!”
He turned, stood up, and backed me to the table I tripped over. “You don’t smack me woman.”
I poked my finger in his chest, “You don’t quit my job for me!!”
“And you don’t act like this as my old lady.” He calmly informed me.
“You forced that on me.” I shoved his chest.
He quickly tossed me over his shoulder and looked back at the guys, “Excuse me gentlemen, I have a woman to tame.” He walked out the front door and set me on the back of his bike and gripped my jaw to look at him. “Bad move Carly.”
“Oh shut up.” I crossed my arms and pouted.
He climbed on in front of me and rode us back to my place where he expertly picked the lock since my purse is still at the bar.
I went straight for my wine completely full of anger. “I hate you!”
“Oh calm down.” He hung his jacket where he’d hung it last night.
“No!! You just hijacked my life you big jerk!!” I yelled after downing half a glass of wine at once.
He slowly sauntered into my kitchen with a less angry look now. “You’re my old lady now. No more shlepping beers for horny men.” He took my glass away and downed the rest before setting it down on the counter.
“How the hell am I supposed to pay my bills?”
He closed in, “I claimed you, your bills are mine now.”
“Right, now I’m a kept woman?” I don’t believe this shit.
“You could say that.” He cupped my face holding me firmly. “Now knock it off. My woman doesn’t need to work, and she definitely doesn’t live in this shit hole. Tomorrow you find us a house. Got it?”
“Yeah right, with what?”
“I’ll show you later, right now I want you to stop bitching.”
I stuck my tongue out at him.
He closed his eyes in frustration. “Now you’re in trouble.” He grabbed me by the thighs and wrapped my legs around his waist making me grab his shoulders to balance.
“What are you doing?”
He walked me to my bedroom and tossed me on the bed before climbing over me and driving tickling fingers into my side. “You need an attitude adjustment.”
I screamed laughing and squirming like an idiot. “Hey!! Stop that!!”
He pinned me and continued his assault until I could barely breathe. “Are you done yet?”
“You’re doing it! Stop! Okay! You win!!” I couldn’t take anymore.
He stopped and moved my hair off my face as he hovered, “From now on you’re an obedient old lady unless we’re alone. Smack me again around the guys and I’m going to spank your bare ass right in front of them. Got it?”
“Good luck with that.” I screamed because he started tickling me again. “Okay!! Fine!!! Just stop!”
He stopped and ran his large warm hand up my thigh and under the back of my shorts. Those light green eyes held mine, “As much as I want you right now, I’m going to enjoy seducing these clothes off you.”
I sunk my fingers into that beard I’m oddly addicted to now. “You should know my last experience with a man was not a good one. I like you, but I don’t know you well enough to fall so easily for your
