Raid (Unfinished Hero #3)(54)
I was sure this didn’t make me feel better, therefore I asked, “So essentially, if it’s female, a man will sleep with it?”
“No, essentially a man won’t f**k anything he doesn’t want and women have got to get it in their heads that if he’s givin’ her his dick, he likes what he’s burying his dick inside.”
Well, that was certainly clear, if crude, and something that again left me with no response.
“Hanna, baby,” his voice had gentled and his arm pulled me closer, “what I’m sayin’ is, we like what we like, we’re drawn to what we’re drawn to and I wouldn’t be f**kin’ you if I didn’t want what you’re givin’ me. All of what you’re givin’ me. You’re pretty. You smell good. You’re legs are f**kin’ amazing. You’ve got great tits. You’re toned and in shape but soft in great f**kin’ places and I like it like that. Add you bein’ cute, dorky, sweet and f**kin’ hilarious, it’s perfect. All of it.”
Okay, that made me feel better.
I thought, for the first time in a long time, about the woman I saw him with, petite and skinny-minnie.
“So, you, uh… like tall and curvy, not short and skinny?” I asked.
“No, I like tits and hair, however those come, but what they gotta come with, what turns me on most, are smells and personality. You might think that’s bullshit, but it’s true. You got all that, but add your legs and I don’t have to court a backache in order to take your mouth, major bonus.”
That absolutely made me feel better so I smiled.
Raiden must have seen it in the dark because he leaned into me, taking me to my back and again loomed over me.
“So, you gonna stop that shit with your stomach?” he asked.
“Yeah,” I answered.
“All-access?” he pushed.
“Yes, sweetheart,” I promised.
“How about you give that to me now,” he suggested and a pulse pounded between my legs.
“Okay,” I breathed.
“Spread for me, Hanna.”
I opened my legs at the same time I had a minor preliminary orgasm.
Raiden put a hand flat between my br**sts, slid it down, glided it over my belly then it dipped between my legs.
My h*ps lifted and I bit my lip.
He shifted and ordered gruffly, “Wrap your hand around my cock, honey. Jack me off while I play with your pu**y.”
Readily, I did what I was told.
I came first.
Five minutes later, Raiden anointed my belly.
And I got to watch.
After cleaning him off me, I fell asleep with Raiden spooning me, big hand splayed at my stomach.
And I fell asleep thinking this was good news for my sundae addiction, I liked my little pouch and I was going to keep it.

That Friday afternoon…
Grams was sitting on her back porch, feet up, eyes closed. I’d dragged her chair to the end of the porch so she was bathed in sun.
Raiden was at the far end of the backyard with the push mower, its engine droning.
I had a mess of afghans all over Grams’ porch furniture and my basket of ribbons with me. I was folding, tying and tagging them.
Spot was lying on the floor inside the backdoor, his enigmatic kitty face studying my movements. I didn’t know if he wanted me to let him out so I would cease my work and give him cuddles or so he could do his best to draw my blood.
Grams’s house was in the residential area of town, two blocks down from the end of the businesses, one block in. As we were somewhat removed from the big city, not a suburb but not far away, thus we had wildlife, but the scary stuff didn’t stray into town, making clawless Spot a ready-meal should we let him out. Still, we didn’t let him out, just in case.
Therefore, being confined indoors was one of many things that didn’t make Spot happy, and I suspected he was studying me and plotting ways to draw my blood.
“See my precious girl’s decided to play with fire,” Grams told the backs of her eyelids.
I pulled a bow tight on an afghan and looked at her.
Then I looked at Raiden in jeans, a now sweaty tee and running shoes, mowing my grandmother’s lawn.
I looked back at Grams.
“Yeah,” I answered softly.
“Mm-hmm,” she mumbled ambiguously.
“It’s not mine to share, what he’s shared with me, Grams, but you were right. He’s dangerous,” I told her.
“Know that, chère,” she replied.
“He’s also worth the risk,” I finished.
Her eyes opened and came to me.
“Talk in town and lots of it. Shocked you and that boy haven’t received your invitations to be grand marshals, sittin’ on a float in the parade the town intends to plan to celebrate your togetherness, what with them bein’ beside themselves with joy their local hero’s courtin’ the town’s sweetest girl.”
I knew she was worried. I didn’t want her to think I was going in with anything but my eyes wide open, but I couldn’t stop the goofy smile that I knew hit my lips.
Grams wasn’t done
“Those in the know about that fire within, that would be his Momma and his baby sister, they got all kinds of faith in you. Especially with Rachelle practically havin’ the menu planned for your wedding and Ruthie Miller grumbling about the bike shop bein’ closed, seein’ as she wanted to buy her boy a bike so he could ride alongside his girl.”
