Alluring Seduction (Bayou Stix) (16 page)

W
e’re heading down the escalator at BTR and Blue is taking everything in. “You’ve been here before, right?”

She looks at me as she responds. “I was here for the interview with Bayou Stix in September, but I’ve never spent time here. We flew into New Orleans, drove down here, and then flew out of New Orleans the next day.”

Smirking I say, “Ah, you’re a Baton Rouge virgin.”

“I guess so.” Blue clucks her tongue and watches me out of the corner of her eye. “You going to pop my cherry?”

My brows arch and I chuckle. Man, she matches me tit for tat. I love it! “Oh, you’re going to be popped all over the place as soon as I get you to my place. And I think I might have some cherries in the fridge.” I wink.

Her cheeks turn pink. Point for me!

As we round the corner for baggage claim, we both hear. “They’re here!”

Lexi races across the floor and hugs Blue. Jude stands there with his brow raised watching the women embrace like they haven’t seen each other in a year instead of a few days. Then he looks at me, then Blue, with a question in his eyes. I shrug and smile. He smiles back and reaches out to shake my hand and slap my back. He says in my ear, “Be careful with her, man.”

Nodding my head, we wait for the bags while the girls chatter. Jude has his hands in his pockets and his legs spread. He’s wearing a ball cap and sunglasses. I’ve pulled on a Saints cap before disembarking too.

“So, she’s staying with you?” He asks me.

“She is.” I say it and wait for the panic to come. It doesn’t…

“Liam is settled at Dade’s place. I think Lex and Bradi are going to grab her tomorrow and go do wedding stuff.” He looks over at me to gauge my reaction.

“Ok.” I nod. “Cool. How’s that going? You ready, man?”

He looks over at Lexi and his face lights up. “Yeah, I would have married her yesterday, but she wants the wedding. These last few weeks can’t go by fast enough though. The Bachelor/Bachelorette party in New Orleans is next weekend. Y’all good with that?”

“Yup. We’re good. Happy for you, Bro.” I look at Jude. He’s watching me watch Blue. “I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing…”

He laughs. “I know.” Slapping my back, he says, “Just go with it. Let what’s going to happen, happen. Just don’t fuck it up… again.”

Shaking my head, I mutter, “Fucker.”

He laughs again and turns as the girls walk over. Just then the conveyer kicks on and we start to look for our luggage.

Jude throws his arm around Lexi and pulls her into him, kissing her head. They are so natural and affectionate with each other. I look at Blue out of the corner of my eyes and she’s staring at the conveyer. Reaching out, I grab her hand. Her head whips towards mine and her brows rise in silent question. I thread our fingers and lift my brows in a challenge. She smirks and her hold tightens on my hand.

Well, ok then… I guess we’re doing this shit.

Looking over, I catch the shit-eating grin on Jude’s face and the ear to ear smile on Lexi’s as they take in Blue and me. Lexi winks and blows me a kiss.

I roll my eyes.

Blue’s bags come around and I let go of her hand so I can grab them. My one bag comes around next.

She has three bags and her carry on, plus her laptop. We all grab a bag and I sling mine over my shoulder as we head out to Jude’s car.

The girls climb in the back and Jude and I load the bags, then we climb into the front and set off.

“Am I bringing y’all straight to your place or do you want to grab something to eat? I think Liam stocked your fridge before he left.” Jude asks me.

Looking at Blue in the mirror, I notice how happy she seems to be near Lexi. So comfortable. But I have an itch that only she can scratch. Glancing at Jude I reply, “No, head to my place. We’re going to get settled. We’ll hang with y’all tomorrow.”

He smirks again and says, “Ok then.” He chuckles and says under his breath. “Damn, Jessie Adams is tamed… never thought I’d see the day.”

Whipping my head at him, I mutter. “Your ass. Shut the hell up, fucker.” I’m not tamed. Just because I only want Blue right now, it doesn’t mean I’m whipped. I’m not whipped?!

He belly laughs and the girls stop chattering.

Lexi smiles and says, “What are you laughing at? What’d we miss?”

At the same time, Jude and I answer, “Nothing!” We look at each other and laugh.

Blue’s eyes meet mine in the mirror. She smirks.

Shit, did she hear all that?!

Blue

My eyes meet Jessie’s in the mirror and I see his widen. I wonder if he knows that I just heard that conversation?! I chuckle and wink at him, then turn back to Lexi.

Is he tamed? Wouldn’t that be some shit?!

I try to pay attention to Lexi, but my thoughts are on all of the naughty things I want to do with and to Jessie when we reach his place. I hope he’s as hungry for me as I am for him. I just can’t get enough. I’m insatiable when it comes to that man.

I see him watching me in the mirror again, so I decide to toy with him.

While I’m listening to Lexi chatter on about the wedding and going shopping for my dress tomorrow, I watch Jessie out of the corner of my eye. I trace the neckline of my scoop neck top very slowly and see him following my finger with his eyes. Then I pull it down just a little, but still act as if it’s unintentional. His eyes widen as I show some cleavage.

I’m murmuring responses to Lexi, but not really listening. I’m too enraptured with watching Jessie’s reaction to my seemingly innocent teasing. Next, I slip off my jacket in the pretense of being hot. Stretching with my hands over my head and my back arched, my breasts are thrust tightly against the fabric of my sweater and my stomach is exposed. I hear him groan and see him shift in his seat as if he’s uncomfortable. Without missing a beat, I meet his eyes in the mirror, smoothing my top down, with my hands running over my breasts, I wink and sit back.

I hear him mutter, “Minx!” under his breath.

I chuckle.

Lexi was apparently paying attention, I haven’t given her enough credit, because she leans in and whispers, “Damn girl. I’ve never seen Jessie pant like that over a woman. It makes me happy to see y’all like this. The sexual tension between you two has been so thick I thought the rest of us would suffocate from it since I met you. That man is on fire for you. Go you!” Then she laughs.

I meet her eyes in surprise. “What? Was I that obvious? And he is?”

She smirks and replies confidentially, “Yeah. I could tell you wanted him. All of us could. And we could tell he wanted you too, even though he was an idiot about it. Blue, that man is putty in your hands. Just be careful, ok, girl? He’s not used to this and he’s never been in a situation like this, so he’s going to fuck up. The only question is, are you going to let him go or are you going to fight to keep him?”

My heart drops. I want him. I am in love with him… but, do I trust him and love him enough to make him see we have something real here?!

“I can see the panic on your face and I get it. Trust me. I do. As you know, Jude and I had our share of issues, but the bottom line is… is he worth everything you’re going to endure?” She smiles.

I think it through and whisper back, “I think he is.”

Her smile lights up the car. “Good. I was hoping you’d say that.” She claps. “We’re here.”

I look out of the window and see a nice apartment building with a lot of shops underneath it. It’s like a mini community. Is that a movie theater and a Barnes and Noble? Jessie lives here?

Lexi sees my expression and says, “He lives on the top floor, right there.” She points to a building on the side of the movie theater. There are a few restaurants and a pretty little courtyard with a fountain right there too. “It’s like a Penthouse.”

“Oh, ok. I didn’t realize we’d be so… open…”

She smiles. “Welcome to being with a member of the band. Where did you think he’d live? You know he likes things to be easily accessible.” She shrugs. “The place is really beautiful. Come on, I’ll bring you up while they get the bags.” She grabs my hand a pulls me out of the car. I take one more look around to see what’s here… movie theater, book store, restaurants, shops, bars, and a grocery store. Shaking my head at what Baton Rouge, Louisiana has to offer, I follow her into the elevator.

Ok then… let’s do this.

Jessie

J
ude needs to help me get these bags upstairs and then grab his woman and go home. Damn, Blue just seduced me in the car with Jude and Lexi right there. I want her… now.

We load the elevator and hit the button for my apartment. Jude looks at me, just smirking, but saying nothing. “What the fuck are you smiling about, Delecroix?”

He chuckles out loud. “Nothing… just you strung so tightly… over Blue.”

“Shut the hell up. Thanks for the ride. Appreciate it, now collect your woman and go home.” I’m drumming my fingers on the hand rail as the elevator takes forever to rise.

“Anxious to be alone with a certain blue-eyed siren, are we?” He’s leaning against the wall with his ankles crossed and watching me with a twinkle in his eyes.

“Why are you worrying about Blue’s eyes? You have your own vixen to worry about.” I snap out.

“Ah… don’t like me thinking about your woman, do you?” He chuckles and straightens up.

“Dude, I’m not worried about you. You’re so pussy whipped for Lexi, it’s unreal. And she’s not my woman.” I pull my lip ring into my mouth and stare at the numbers above the door. Damn this elevator is slow.

“I’m a one woman man. And I’m all about my beauty. This is true… But, you might want to make sure you realize she
is
your woman before you fuck it up again.” He makes me look at him with a hand on my arm. “Do you want her with anyone else?” He asks me seriously.

I frown. “Hell, no. No one else is touching her! Not while she’s with me!” I grit my teeth. “I’ll kill someone.”

Jude smiles again. “Uh huh. That’s what I thought. Jessie Adams, Blue Delaney is
very
much
your
woman.” He laughs again at my flabbergasted state.

The doors open on my floor. I’m standing there shell-shocked… Jude pushes the suitcases out and calls out to Lexi, “Baby, come on. These two need to get settled and unpacked. We’ll catch them tomorrow. Let’s go home. Later, Blue.” Then he turns to me, still holding the door open button, “Close your mouth and get out. Your woman is waiting.” He winks.

Lexi steps in and hugs me, then pushes me out after the suitcases. “Bye, Jessie.” She smiles, and as the doors close, says, “Have fun!”

I’m standing in my foyer like an idiot and replaying that conversation through my head.

Well, fuck me. Blue Delaney IS my woman. What do I do with that? I’ve never cared enough to have a girlfriend in my life. I’m so going to fuck this up!

Blue looks at me from where she’s standing near the windows across the room and smiles sheepishly. “Now what?”

That snaps me out of my haze and I stand up straight and rake my eyes over her body. She’s wearing skintight pants with brown knee boots and a light sweater that’s the color of caramel. I can see her breasts heave as she breathes from the low neckline. She swallows as I pierce her with my gaze. I stalk across the room and only stop when I’m right in front of her. She’s wringing her hands and licking her lips nervously, but she’s staring into my eyes.

Leaning in, I kiss the racing pulse, visible in her neck. She gasps. I raze my teeth over the spot and hear her inhale as she grabs a hold of my back to steady herself. Fisting the hem of her sweater, I back away, and pull it over her head, throwing it behind me as it comes off. Leaning down, I lift her feet one at a time and manage to pull her boots off. She’s got her hands behind her on the window to keep her balance. Standing, I step back and take in her appearance. She’s wearing a white lace bra and the skintight pants. Her hair is messed up from pulling her sweater off and her breasts are so full they are spilling out of the cups with each breath. Her waist dips in and the dangling belly ring draws attention to the flare of her hips. Damn she’s all woman! My woman.

My possessive thoughts make me moan and pulling her into me, I pull her head back and kiss her deeply as I knead the swells of her breasts. The same delectable breasts that were tormenting me in the car. She moans into my mouth.
