sorry. You’re the last person I’d ever consider sleeping with.” I was getting to her and she knew it.
I remained calm as I spoke, because I knew I’d accomplished what I’d set out to do. “Your loss, not mine. I don’t beg for pussy, never had to and never will.”
She threw her arms in the air and started walking away. “Ugh, you’re hopeless!”
I smiled and waved as she walked out. She was angry and annoyed, but I couldn’t have been more pleased. “You look real nice today, by the way.”
As she passed I took a good look at her perfect tits. She’d caught me. “Seriously? Get a life and leave me alone. If you can get so much pussy, how come you never have anyone here?”
“I didn’t want you gettin’ jealous.” If she only knew that women coming to me was a huge problem I was trying to fix.
“Paleease. You are the last man that would ever make me jealous. Screw whoever you want.”
“I do. They come by durin’ the week, when I know you’re not around. If you want, I can give you some numbers so that you can hear about me from them. I’m sure they’d concede that I’m the best they’ve ever had. In case you’re doubting me.”
She’d given up on the conversation and proceeded to leave. “I’m out of here. You’re hopeless.”
Lacey was pissed off but she’d spend the night thinking about me. At some point I’d probably end up going over there to taunt her some more. Not only was I getting somewhere but the chase was fun.
I watched her walk over to my cousin’s place and felt confidant that she’d be back for more. If not, I knew exactly where to find her and how to get under her skin. Getting in her panties was just a matter of time.
Chapter 7
My mother and aunt had planned some joint house warming thing for me and Ford. Neither one of us really cared about it, but knew it was important to them. For something I didn’t want to be a part of, my mom had me running around picking up things, while she inspected my house to make sure it was immaculate. I’d just pulled up in my Camaro when I spotted Ford walking around the yard on his phone. He had a disappointed look on his face and nodded when he saw me.
Before I made it over to where he was standing, he hung up with his call.
“What was that about?”
“That was fuckin’ Shayne, giving me more bullshit to deal with.”
“Is he comin’ here today?” I sure as hell didn’t want him around.
“ You really think Sky would want that? You know Lacey’s comin’, right?”
I lit a smoke and leaned against the house. “I try to stay out of it all. You do your thing and I do mine.”
Ford lit one up and leaned next to me. “How’s that goin’ for you? You like livin’ by yourself?” I noted that he’d dropped the conversation about Shayne.
He’d been living alone since his sister Harley died and before that he’d been away at college. “It’s alright.”
“It’s about damn time. Dad and I were takin’ bets on how long it’s goin’ to take you to move back home. Let’s face it, your mom likes you bein’ there.”
I laughed. “She does, but I can promise that I’m no t goin’ back. I like the quiet. Plus this place is closer to the Country Club and the views here can be quite satisfying.”
Ford scratched his head and laughed. “You’re not goin’ to give up are you?”
“Would you? Look, I know you’re all crazy over your girl, that’s cool and everything, but have you seen Lacey? She’s fuckin’ perfect.”
“She’s been with Shayne, man and that dude has major problems goin’ on. I’d stay out of it if I were you.” he argued.
“That’s what protection is for and I don’t give a shit about anyone’s problems.”
Ford started walking away. “You’re hopeless. When all this blows up in your face, don’t bring my name into it.”
I went to say something, but my mother came barging out of my place with the look of horror on her face. I rushed in to see what
