Danielle
SATURDAY NIGHT, AUSTIN arrived just before six and settled himself on my sofa. Although my makeup was applied, my hair was still in a towel, I was in a robe, and I had no idea what I was going to wear. We’d talked for less than five minutes during the day and he hadn’t given any details of the date.
"You haven’t told what we’re doing."
"Get together at the club," he said.
"I thought we were going to dinner."
He smiled up at from his position on the couch. "We are. Club’s grillin’."
"So, we’re not actually going out?" I frowned. "Like on a real date?"
"It’s a real date, baby. And we’re leaving your apartnt, so it’s ’out.’"
"What am I supposed to wear?" I asked.
Austin gave a lascivious grin. "Jeans, tighter the better, low-cut top... sothin’ like that."
"I don’t own anything biker slut, Austin."
He shrugged and studied . "Babe, it’s family. Wear whatever the fuck you wanna wear."
"Well, that’s so freaking helpful, honey. Thanks."
I stomped back to my room and into my closet. In the last thirty seconds or so, Austin had inford that I’d be eting his "family." He’d also not denied my need to wear sothing slutty. I didn’t own anything slutty. I could maybe wear sothing a little low-cut, or wear one of the two little black dresses I owned, but he was in his "uniform" of jeans, tee, and cut, so I’d be way overdressed if I did.
I should probably bow out. If it was at the club, then it was probably going to be filled with criminals, and that would look really bad for my family. I sat on the floor of my closet and dropped my face in my hands. God, I was such an idiot. Why the hell did I even entertain the thought that this could work out?
"Dani," Austin said with a sigh.
I glanced up at him standing in the doorway. "What?"
"You’re way overthinking this."
"I can’t go with you tonight, Austin. I think it would be best for you to go alone."
He hunkered down beside and smiled. "No."
"I think it’s too soon."
"For what?"
"For to et your club." I frowned. "I hardly know you."
"Babe, it’s a casual get together. No pressure."
"And just how many won have you taken to et your club?" I asked.
"You’re jealous?"
"No," I snapped. "I’m just wondering if we should wait to see if this goes anywhere before we start dragging our friends and family into it."
"Stop fuckin’ around, Dani, and get dressed."
"No." I rose to my feet. "I’m not going."
"Yeah, you are."
"No, I’m not. It’s a bad idea and you know it."
"How’s it a bad idea?" he demanded.
"You’re going to bring a kindergarten teacher who happens to be the daughter of a cop to a place filled with criminals! They’re going to see coming from a mile away and they will hate just because I’m not like you."
His eyes widened. "Well, fuck , baby. Thanks for puttin’ words in their mouths and judging them before they can judge you."
"You’re welco," I retorted, and moved past him, but he caught my arm.
"Dani, the club’s clean and no one’ll hate you."
"You can’t know that."
He smiled. "Babe, I can know that. We’re not one percenters."
"I don’t even know what that ans."
"I’ll explain it to you one day. I promise."
"I’m not good with crowds," I confessed.
Austin gave a sexy grin. "We can go to my room anyti you want to. Just say the word."
"You live there?"
"No. But I have a room there should I need it."
"See? I don’t even know where you live," I said.
"I’ll take you ho soti, baby. We’re gettin’ to know each other. It’ll happen." He cupped my neck and thumbed my pulse. "What’s really goin’ on inside your head, Dani?"
"It’s just that I know nothing about you and you’re taking to a place with people who know everything about you and with whom I have nothing in common. What will I talk about?"
"Whatever the fuck you wanna talk about."
"Well, that’s helpful. Thank you."
"Babe. Get dressed. It’s gonna be fine."
I drew my eyebrows together. "What if I follow you?"
"What?"
I bit my lip. "I’ll follow you to the party. That way, you can stay if you want to, but I can leave if it’s too much."
"Hell no."
"Why not?"
"My woman is not driving herself to a fuckin’ family get together, Dani. That’s why."
"I’m not your woman!" I pointed out.
"What the fuck?"
"We’ve known each other for less than a week," I continued. "I’m not your woman. We’re not anything yet."
His mouth landed on mine with an intensity I wasn’t prepared for. He tugged the towel from my head and slid open my robe, cupping my breast and rolling my nipple between his fingers. Guiding to the bed, he pushed down, placing one hand on my chest to keep planted where he wanted , while his mouth moved from my lips to my neck.
"Austin?" I rasped.
He didn’t reply as he drew a nipple into his mouth and bit gently. I gasped at the sensation. Austin pushed open my knees, sliding my thighs over his shoulders and began a delicious assault on my clit. I whimpered as he sucked, licked, and kissed his way around my most private area.
He slid one finger inside of , and then two, and as much as I tried to resist the fire burning inside of , it was useless. I cried out as my orgasm hit and he kissed my inner thighs before releasing my shaking legs and climbing back up my body. "You are absolutely my fuckin’ woman, Dani. Got ?"
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get ?"
"No, Austin, I don’t," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse ."
He leaned up on his elbow and raised an eyebrow. "How so?"
"Like you care," I ground out.
"Oh, I do care, baby," he droned. "Please tell all the ways I confuse you so that I can clarify things for you."
"Screw you, Austin."
He laughed and sat up. "I was just tryin’ to do that, baby. You stopped it."
"You are such a jerk!"
"I’m not tryin’ to be, Dani." He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell what’s on your mind."
I sighed. "You’re everything my parents warned against. You’re secretive, but you’re also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare more than anyone I’ve ever known. You’re a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don’t get you because you’re not what I expected. You drive crazier than anyone I’ve ever t, but then you make feel complete. I’m feeling things I don’t quite know how to process and that makes want to run. I don’t want to give up sothing that might be really, really good, but I also don’t want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he’s super pretty and makes co."
He shrugged, his nonchalance back in place. "I did tell you I would."
"You also promised you’d do it more than once."
"Happy to oblige, baby."
I tied my robe with an angry swoosh. "I’m pouring my heart out to you and you’re talking about making co again?"
He sighed and dragged his hands down his face. "Dani."
"What, Austin? I don’t know what kinds of won you’ve dated in the past, but I’m not one who can be manipulated with your ability to be really good at oral sex, or kissing, or... well, anything oral," I said, laly. "I deserve to be treated with respect and if you’re not willing to do that, then see you later."
"Pain in my ass," he grumbled.
"Then leave!" I stepped into the bathroom and slamd the door.
My tirade had completely counteracted my body’s sated state just monts before and that made mad. I wanted to go back to my post-climax glow. I stared in the mirror and scowled at myself. I shouldn’t look this way. My eyes were bright, my skin was flushed, and I looked more alive than I had in a long ti. Despite my tirade, I felt happy. Austin did that for . I knew that I could be totally honest with him. Show him one hundred percent of myself, even if it wasn’t pretty. The door opened and I caught Austin’s eye in the mirror. "I thought you were leaving."
He wrapped his arms around from behind, pulled my hair to the side, and kissed my neck. "You show that and expect to leave?" he challenged.
"Yeah, kinda. It’s been three days and I’m showing you everything." I sighed. "So much for wanting to be sexy and mysterious."
He turned to face him. "You couldn’t be more beautiful to , Dani."
"I think there’s sothing psychologically wrong with you."
"You could be onto sothing." Austin chuckled. "eting my brothers is a big deal, baby, but I’ve been trying to downplay it, so you don’t panic on ."
"Maybe it’s too soon, then."
He shook his head, cupping my neck. "They need to know who you are to ."
"Who am I to you?"
"Everything, baby," he said. "Everything."
