James (Resisting Love #3)(19)

“I don’t know. It’s not like you’re real close with my brothers,” he says reluctantly. I can tell this upsets him.

“Kade may be growing on me. Plus, you know I love Nikki,” I say.

James grins. “Good.”

James parks his car and we get out. I open the front door quickly whilst James gets Jye, locking his car door before entering the apartment and putting Jye in his bed. He affectionately kisses Jye on the forehead before tucking him in. I watch as he stares at his son for a few moments before walking out. I run my eyes over how his chest looks in the sexy white shirt he is wearing, hinting at his defined muscles. I can’t help the slight tug I feel in my lower belly.

“I’d love to tuck you in, too, but there will be no sex on the first date,” James decides. I reluctantly move my eyes from his biceps and stare into his eyes.

“What? Why?” I demand.

“This is our second chance Sasha, I want it to be perfect,” he says.

“It will be perfect, I promise. Come on,” I try to tempt him.

“Not tonight, okay,” he says as he walks over, trying to soften the rejection with a soft kiss to my lips.

“Fine. But I’d like to point out it’s not really fair considering I’ve gone without way longer than you have,” I pout.

“How do you know that?” he asks, as he crosses his arms over his chest.

“You had a girlfriend!” I point out.

“If it’s not with you, it doesn’t count,” he says a little gruffly.

“Smooth talker,” I mumble, walking to the kitchen and pulling out a bottle of water.

“Want one?” I offer, James shakes his head no, eyeing me speculatively.

“How long has it been?” he asks suddenly.

“A while, let’s just leave it at that.” I walk up to him and wrap my arms around his neck. He leans down and presses light kisses all over my jaw, before finally giving my lips some attention. I can feel his arousal, but he still pulls away. The man has always had a will of steel. Or should I say a will of Steele. This is the first time that I was cursing it.

“I’ll see you tomorrow, pretty girl,” he whispers into my ear, causing the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up.

“Okay,” I reply, already planning on heading into my room for a night with my BOB.

“Don’t even think about it, Sasha, your orgasms are mine to give. You'll wait,” he demands. Then he reminds me to lock up after he leaves.

I inhale deeply. Well, hell. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve missed this side of James. My lips curl into a sly smile. He won’t be able to hold out for long. I’m gonna make sure of that.

Chapter Ten


Sasha


After work the next day I head to the beauty salon for a manicure, pedicure, and some waxing. Jye spent the whole day with James today, because he didn’t have to work. If he got called in to help with a safe house, he said he would drop Jye at his mum's. I didn’t receive a call, so I assume everything went smoothly. I head home, to find James and Jye still not there. I pick up the phone and call him.

“Hello,” he answers straight away, sounding pleased to hear from me.

“Hey, where are you guys?” I complain. I miss them both, and I haven’t seen my son all day.

“Sorry, we’re just at the park. Why don’t you relax for a little, we’ll be home in an hour, okay?”

“Okay, I’ll see you soon.”

We both hang up.

After a quick shower, I dress for the dinner at Kade’s, and then sit down and read for a little while. It feels so good to be off my feet, and soon I get lost in a world of alpha male bikers.

“Sasha,” I hear James’ voice croon softly as he pulls me into his arms. I open my eyes and stretch lazily.

“What time is it?” I ask, putting my face in the crook of his neck.

“We need to leave in an hour for dinner. Jye is having a nap,” he tells me. Oh, really. Planning on using this time appropriately, I lift my leg so I can straddle him.

“And what do you think you’re doing?” he asks in an amused tone.

“Whatever I want,” I tell him boldly. This is the thing about James. He can be very easy going and laid back, but in the bedroom? He is something else.

“Is that right?” he drawls, his fingers digging into my thighs in reprimand.

“I don’t think you can handle me anymore, James,” I taunt. When he pushes my face closer and devours my lips with his, I inwardly cheer.

“Not tonight, Sasha,” he whispers.

“James! I haven’t been with anyone since you,” I admit, letting him know how badly I want this. James’ eyes widen almost hysterically, as he instantly stands with me still wrapped around him, and walks straight to the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

He puts me down, then demands, “Strip.”

I rush to take off my dress.

“Slowly, Sasha,” he commands, sitting down on the bed so he can watch the show. I slowly push the thin straps of my dress down my shoulders, letting it slip off my body and pool at my feet. Left in only a red lace thong and black bra, I can’t help but squirm under his intense gaze. I’m pretty much the same size I was before I gave birth, but now I have stretch marks on my tummy, and when James’ eyes slow on that area, I suddenly start to feel a little unsure.
