Unconditional Love (Journey of Love #1)(65)
Author: Kelly Elliott

“Azurdee, I don’t really get the feeling that you’re the kind of girl who just goes home with guys.”

I pulled back and looked at him. The alcohol was begging to settle in and I was feeling tipsy.

“I’m not but…”

He smiled so sweetly at me as he placed his hand on the side of my face. “How about if I take down your number. We can take this slow.”

I was relieved and then pissed. “Do you not want me?” I asked, surprising myself at how bold I was being.

His eyes lit up and he pulled me into him. I felt how much he wanted me and I was instantly turned on. I needed this. I needed to forget about Lark for just one night.

“Baby, you have no idea how much I want you. You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on and whoever he was…he didn’t deserve you if he let you go.”

I swallowed and reached both my hands up and around his neck. “Please…”

He quickly grabbed my hand and began walking through the crowd. My stomach was in knots and I prepared myself to have sex with another person besides Lark.

Dodge walked up to the bar and shouted, “Lisa, I’ll be in my office.”

She nodded her head and kept talking to a customer sitting at the bar. I looked around for Ryn. She was sitting at a table and our eyes met. She smiled and nodded her head. Oh my God. She knows what we’re about to do.

Dodge walked down a hallway and the further we walked the more the music faded. He stopped at an office that was marked Dodge, General Manager.

He opened the door and led me in. Once he shut it, I couldn’t hear the music.

“Talk about soundproof. So if I wanted to scream…I could?”

He smiled and said, “Only if you’re screaming in pleasure.”

I felt a tug in my lower stomach as I walked over to the desk and leaned against it.

Dodge walked up to me and used his hands to push my dress all the way up. I let out a gasp as he let out a moan.

He stared down at my silver lace panties and said, “At any moment you want to stop…” He looked into my eyes. “We’ll stop.”

I nodded my head and whispered, “Okay.”

He began to unzip his pants and push them down. When his dick sprung free I just stared at it.

I want this.

He placed his hand on my thigh and I jumped. “I’m going to touch you, Azurdee.”

I nodded my head and as he moved his hand further up, my heart began beating harder in my chest.

He slipped his finger along my panties and my mouth parted slightly open. It felt good to be touched.

I need this.

He reached his hands around and I lifted up as he slipped my panties off. He pushed them down to where they pooled at my ankles. I kicked them off and sucked in a breath of air when he pushed my legs apart. Exposing me to him.

“Fuck, I bet you taste amazing.”

Oh God…I closed my eyes and all I saw was Lark, so I snapped them open and said, “Touch me.”

He slowly moved his hand along my inner thigh. He reached behind me and pulled my ass to the edge of the desk.

He slipped two fingers in and I let out a long moan as he moved in and out of me slowly. “You’re so wet.”

I have to do this.

He pushed another finger inside me as he buried his face in my neck. “So. Damn. Tight. How do you want this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Do you want to play nice or do you want me to fuck him out of your mind?”

He reached for a condom and began to roll it on.

I can’t do this.

He looked at me and stopped putting the condom on. He took a step back and pulled it off and then reached down for his pants. I looked at him confused as hell.

I shook my head and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you stopping? I just need…I just need a minute…”

He zipped up his pants and leaned down and picked up my panties and began slipping them back on and pulling them up as he helped me stand up and push my dress back down.

He closed his eyes and said, “Azurdee, I’ve never wanted anyone so badly in my life, but this just doesn’t feel right.”

“What? What do you mean? Did I do something wrong?”

He smiled and placed his finger on my chin and lifted my eyes to his.

“Baby, as much as you think you want this. I can see it in your eyes—you don’t.”

I felt the tears building as he leaned over and grabbed something off his desk. He took a step back and handed me his business card.

“I really like you and I’d really like to see you again. Maybe dinner? Take things slowly?”

I took the card and smiled as I began to chew on my bottom lip. He reached up and pulled it from my teeth and then leaned down and kissed me. It wasn’t the most dramatic kiss but it was enough to leave me possibly wanting more.

There was a loud knock on the door that caused both of us to jump.

“Shall I call y’all a cab?”

I nodded and said, “Please.”

He turned to head to the door, but before opening it I said, “Hey Dodge?”

He turned around. “Yeah?”

I smiled and said, “Thank you.”

He smiled back and I had to admit it: my knees went weak.

He opened the door and another guy was standing there. “Sorry Dodge, but some guy out here is flashing around some sort of badge saying he needs to talk to you.”

Dodge stepped to the side and I walked out and headed down the hallway. When I popped out and made my way over toward Ryn, she frowned. I shook my head no and she smiled slightly. I sat down and she yelled across the table.

“Too soon?”

I shrugged and looked away. The moment my eyes met his I sucked in a breath of air. Dodge walked up and leaned down and yelled. “I called a cab.”

Ryn sat up straight and said, “Wait! We’re leaving?”

I glanced behind Lark and saw Tristan. I snapped my head at Ryn and yelled. “They’re here!”

She narrowed her eyes at me confused as she said, “Who?”

I just looked at her and her eyes widened. “No!”

“Yes.”

We both turned and saw Lark and Tristan standing there, staring at both of us. We both turned and looked at each other and said at the same time, “We’re leaving.”

Dodge took a step back and said, “I don’t think the cab is here yet.”

I looked over his shoulder and saw Lark talking to some bleached blonde. He was smiling, but kept glancing over our way. Tristan was with a girl and I was guessing it was Liberty.
