Make Me Weak (Make Me #1) (8 page)

A wicked gleam in his eye matched the smirk on those
sexy lips. I wondered if the smirk was because he heard my exchange with Polly, or because I was here in general. I let a touch of a smile catch his eye before forcing myself to look away. All I wanted to do was stare, but I did not want to make it
that
obvious to the others.

“Happy birthday, bud.”

The other man at the table approached Kayne with a big smile. “Thanks, dad.” A few pats on the back later and the men parted.

“Andie, this is my dad, Joel.”

Joel looked at me with a smile, instantly holding out his hand to me. In his face I saw an almost perfect mix of Onyx and Kayne. All three men had the same strong bone structure, they were tall, toned, and were easy on the eyes. Joel was by far the cleanest shaven of the bunch, but I was sure if he grew his hair out, he would look almost like Onyx’s twin.
Almost.
Joel didn’t have those smoldering eyes, or mysterious aura about him.

“Great to meet you, Andie. We’re happy to have you.” He released my hand soon after grabbing it
, but I felt a genuine sense about him that Polly severely lacked.

“This here is my Aunt Kate.” Kayne said
, pointing to the stuck up woman sitting next to Polly.

She didn’t even bother shaking my hand. Instead she reached for her champagne flute
, and raised it to acknowledge me. “Pleasure, dear.”

A sidelong glance at Kayne told me he was not expecting that reaction. Oh well, I was. I only gave a stiff nod back before waiting for Kayne to give the last introduction.

The nerves in my stomach churned in anticipation. I hadn’t been able to pay the attention to him that I had wanted at first, but now, I could.

Kayne turned to his side, as he stood between Onyx and I,
beginning his introduction. “And finally, this is my Uncle Onyx. Onyx, this is my good friend Andie.”

Onyx stood to his feet, reached for my slowly outstretching hand
, and took it between both of his. The endlessly dark pools of his eyes captured mine, and held my gaze on his. The dark curtains of his hair fell forward so the others couldn’t see the true intensity held within him—only me.

“It is a
true
pleasure to meet you.”

“You as well.” The air in my lungs collapsed as his lips turned up
in a smirk that told me he hadn’t forgotten our moment. He still remembered the secret meeting we shared.

“Well I am starved! What’s on the menu for today?” Kayne blurted out. If I didn’t know any better I’d say he was feeling the heat of my moment with Onyx. However, he wasn’t enjoying it nearly as much as I was.

“Oh, you already know it is whatever you want.” Polly perked up.

Kayne pulled out the chair for me, putting me on the opposite side of the table from Onyx. I placed the napkin from
the plate onto my lap, all the while feeling Onyx’s gaze directly on me. I felt my earlier nerves drop low into my core. The heat from his eyes fell directly to my sex, and my body began to throb at the mere thought of him.

“Excellent. So where are the kids at, Kate?” Kayne’s voice kept me grounded. Reminding me that I was not alone in a dark alley with Onyx
, even though the fantasies in my mind were taking me there.

“Oh, who knows? I’m lucky when they check in once a week
, and even then I suspect they don’t always tell me exactly where they’re off to.”

“Sounds about right.” Polly chimed in with a laugh. Kayne looked over to me, silently asking if I was doing okay. I gave a firm nod
, and a hint of a smile for good measure. As much as I already loathed the women in his family, I still had no reason to show the men any disrespect.

“Joel, did Kayne tell you the two of them went to school together?” Polly’
s tone was that of a child, telling on someone for the hell of it.

Kayne’s dad looked my way with a smile. “No they didn’t. That’s very nice though.”

“Yeah, Andie was actually one of the cheerleaders during high school. We had a lot of the same friends.”

“That’s pretty neat. Did you continue cheering in college, Andie?” Joel asked.

“No, I only did it in high school at first because I like to dance. They didn’t have a dance squad at the time, at least not one I would dare waste my time with.”

“What is it that you do now?” Kate asked, clearly her and her sister were going to shar
e the lead role of bitch.

“I still dance.”

“That’s nice, but I mean, how do you afford your bills and things? That isn’t exactly a reliable job when it comes to raising families, and preparing for them.” Polly chirped up.

“That is what I do.” I made sure to look them both in the eye as I spoke. They were waiting for me to shy away like a timid beaten puppy. Too bad for them, I didn’t scare
easily. “I have a very good audience that will pay anything just to see me.”

Out of the corner of my eye I didn’t miss the brilliant white flash of teeth as Onyx beamed a smile. So badly I ached to catch the full effect of it
, but I also refused to back down from the privileged bitch sisters.

“How fortunate.” Polly said, ending our discussion.

Soon the topic was changed to include everyone at the table, aside from me and Onyx. The waiters served us a meal fit for the gods, and an endless flow of mimosas kept the conversation going. Kayne talked a mile a minute, answering every question. Telling stories, and making everyone laugh. For a second I even found myself having a nice time. The best part still remained any moment that I could turn my eyes to Onyx, and even if for a flash, take him in. Every single time I looked his way, he was already staring back.

The effect he was having on me was insane. My sex throbbed, my clit ached, and my panties grew wetter as the meal progressed. Anytime I wasn’t directly engaged in something I pictured Onyx’s
fingers and arms, mouth and tongue. On me. In me. Holding me. Caressing me. It was making my heart beat so quickly I was sure the surfers in the ocean could hear. But just as I was becoming swallowed up in an erotic fantasy, I was sucked right out.

Kayne took any opportunity to include me, talk to me, or even just put his arm around the back of my chair. He was always careful about touching me
, but it was just enough of a distraction to take away the sensual trails my mind was racing down.

My body was one tense knot of frustration. I seemed to get to the point of almost pure pleasurable relief
, and then it stopped. It was the worst kind of teasing, because this kind didn’t promise any kind of an over-the-moon release. It had been my goal to not get up for a cigarette during the meal, mostly because I didn’t imagine I could get myself to go back in. But at this point, it was necessary. I had a light buzz going after three mimosas, my stomach was full of some of the best food, and I was more sexually frustrated than I had been in…years.

“I’m sorry
, but you all with have to excuse me. I really need to step out for a minute. Where can I smoke here?” I blurted out.

From the pursued lips and killer glare coming from Polly, I was sure I had just interrupted a story she was telling. Truthfully, I saved them all. I highly doubted whatever she was saying was that interesting anyway.

“There’s a designated area for smokers, but I don’t smoke so I wouldn’t know where it is.” Her eyes fanned back over me, her nose scrunched up as if a sudden rank waft of something was assaulting her senses.

“Well, that’s no problem.” I turned to Kayne with a sickly sweet smile on my face. “If you are almost ready I could just go wait for you by your car. I don’t mind waiting a bit if you want time to say goodbye.”

“Oh yeah, I am just about done. If you want to go ahead and take my keys. That way you’re not standing out in the hot sun.”

The eye-popping look on his mother’s face almost made me laugh out loud. The second I walked away from this table she was going to make sure Kayne knew to never offer me his keys again. I mean
obviously
my first thought was to head out to the parking lot to heist his ginormous fucking SUV. Like
that
would happen.

“That’s okay, I like being outside.” I said to Kayne with a smile. “It was a pleasure meeting you all.” Joel reached out and shook my hand without hesitation, giving a sincere goodbye. Polly and Kate looked like they were being swarmed by bears
, and any sudden movement could end their lives. They didn’t dare offer me their hands, but it didn’t matter, I stuck mine directly in their face. If they wanted to turn me down they would have to do it in front of all the people they felt the need to impress.

Reluctantly
, they both brushed their hand against mine in their lame attempt at a handshake. I stood, grabbed my bag, and gave Kayne a pat on the shoulders.

“Take your time. I’ll be waiting by the car whenever you are done.”

“Alright.”

Just as I turned to walk away the unmistakably low velvet accent of Onyx stopped me.

“Wait a moment, Andie. I’ll join you.”

My heart lurched forward
, and my pussy clenched. As incredibly turned on as this man was making me, standing outside in an awkward moment waiting for Kayne wasn’t exactly a fun thought. If Onyx was going to join me for anything I wanted it to be for something far more physical than walking through the club to the parking lot.

I didn’t have a choice though. Onyx stood to his feet, threw down a few folded up bills
, and walked away from the table without another word. I watched the downright disgust on the women’s face at his actions but I was mesmerized. The closer he got to me the more skewed my clear mind became. He stopped next to me and held my gaze for just a moment before his extending his arm. Motioning for me to lead the way out to the parking lot.

Somehow I managed to put one foot in front of the other
, but my body remained hyperaware of exactly where Onyx was the entire way.

I led the way back through the club. I was actually sor
t of amazed that I remembered. Especially since the entire time my mind was buzzing with the fact that Onyx was just inches behind me. We received a pleasantly scripted goodbye from the man working the entrance. Neither of us replied to him, and soon we were back outside, making our way towards the parking lot where Kayne’s SUV was clearly visible. He was parked in the far back of the lot, and I just couldn’t wait that long for a nicotine release. This situation was making the little hairs on the back of my neck stand. I couldn’t remember the last time my body and senses were so tightly wound.

I dug around in my purse, pulled out a cigarette
, and searched fruitlessly for a lighter. How in the hell is it possible for lighters to always just disappear into thin air? We were steps away from the front of Kayne’s car when I decided to just seize the courage to break the silence between Onyx and I. His footsteps told me he was close behind, but I didn’t know where.

Turning to face him I held my cigarette up for him to see.

“Do you have a…” Before I could finish my question Onyx placed his hands on my face and sealed his mouth over mine.

My feet stumbled back
, but I was firmly within Onyx’s grasp as a hand left my face, and pressed against my lower back. His taste sent my sensitive body on a complete ride. Every single goosebump on my arm stood to get a feel of him. My cigarette dropped from my fingers as I stood on my toes, wrapping my arms around his neck. His body pinned mine against the side of the truck, and just when I thought I couldn’t experience more pleasure—I did. Onyx slid his hands down the sides of my body until he reached the top of my thighs. A fire coursed through my veins as my skin craved more of his touch.

As if reading my mind he bent down, wrapped his fingers under my knees
, and lifted me. My legs wrapped around his waist while my fingers tangled themselves in his soft dark strands of hair. I kept our mouths together, sucking his tongue deep into my mouth. His teeth bit down onto my lip, the taste of blood dripped against my taste buds, but we didn’t stop. He took a firm grip of my hips and pulled away breathless.

We panted together, our eyes flickering through a myriad
of emotions as we held eye contact.

“Are you fucking my nephew?” He finally asked. The usual deep British accent becam
e a rough heated growl that sent a chill down my spine.

The throb between my thighs became more persistent
, as I wanted nothing more than for him to dull that ache. I didn’t even care how. Just as long as he was the one delivering the magical bliss.

“Answer me.” He demanded.

I had completely forgotten about his question.

“No, I’m not.” The blazing fire in his eyes began to lightly soften as his mouth reached out
, sliding against my neck.

The sensitive skin of my neck went wild as the rough scratch of his facial hair rubbed
, while his lips slowly kissed a trail. Below my ear. The curve of my neck. The base of my throat. Not a single spot was left out as he sent my body to a desperate, needing place it had never been. No one made me crumble this way. No one could turn a single kiss into an erotic paradise. No one could make me weak the way Onyx could.

And I had hardly seen all that he could do.

“Do you want to?” Onyx asked after another torturously wonderful minute.

“Do I want to what?”

“Fuck him.” He growled against my neck. My eyes rolled back in my head, and I was almost positive a groan of need escaped.

“No, I don’t! Enough fuckin’ talking!”

That made him back his face away with a mischievous grin on his face. My chest moved in and out so quickly I was sure I would never catch my breath. At least, as long as Onyx was around I wasn’t going to.

“Do you not like my questions, love?” The control was back in his voice
, and it was slowly pissing me off. Here I was, unable to breathe. And now he was talking to me like we
weren’t
wrapped around each other in a completely erotic fashion. In the middle of a parking lot. Of a respectable country club.

“I can’t focus on them.” I admitted.

He smirked, letting a single finger trace along my hairline, down the side of my face. “Is it because you are needing my touch?”

The tip of his finger didn’t just stop at my chin but instead continued a leisure
ly trail down the front of my body.

“Do I really need to answer that?” If Onyx wanted to play dumb, I could too.

“Oh no, Alexandria. I don’t need your mouth to answer my question. I will just ask your other lips.” Just as his words registered, his finger slid under my skirt, and up the throbbing slit of my soaked panties.

His eyes danced with amused pleasure. “You feel quite wet, love.”

I met him square in the eye, and didn’t blink as I responded. “I’ve been wet since you shook my hand.”

In a heartbeat the edge of my panties were moved aside as his finger slid into my hot center. All play vanished from his face as he
thrust his middle finger deeper into my pussy, hitting the spot that made my body tremble.

“Do you need to come, Alexandria?”

“Mhmm.” I breathed out, thrusting my pelvis once to take his finger in more.

Onyx pulled his hand away
, just as I did to keep me from stripping him of the control. I knew this game, but usually I was on the other side of it. Right now I was locked up in a ball of sexual frustration. I both hated Onyx and lusted after him. It was difficult to decipher which feeling was stronger.

“Oh no. That is not how this works, love. You come when I say. You are under my control.”

I reached forward, capturing his mouth with mine. Sucking hard on his bottom lip, making the undeniable bulge of his dick press against my thigh. After nipping down once more I backed away with an equally amused smirk.

“My body may be under your control, but it certainly feels like yours is under mine.”

His eyes narrowed, the beat of his heart was erratic, and I was desperate to know what was coming next. Hoping entirely that it would be
me
that was coming.

Suddenl
y his finger once again thrust in to hit my g-spot, while his thumb scraped once over my clit. A rough breath was sucked hard into my lungs as my body was taken over the top, ready to explode with one more touch.

“If you make me one promise, I will let you come.”

“What?”

His face moved
directly in front of mine, the vibration of his words rubbed against my lips.

“Never fuck Kayne.”

“Done.”

His thumb swirled against my clit
, and within a second my body was unleashing every built up feeling. My eyes snapped shut, my legs shook, and my body spiraled out of control. Onyx’s mouth placed little kisses against my bare shoulders, neck, and chest as I began to regain consciousness. I hadn’t even opened my eyes yet when I was suddenly back on the ground, standing a few feet away from the car.

By the time I looked around, Onyx had a lit cigarette in his mouth
, and one in my fingers. I stared down at it, and before I could ask a single question, I heard Kayne’s voice call out to us as he approached the car.

“Whew, sorry that took so long. You know my mom can be such a chatterbox.” Kayne said with a laugh.

“She certainly doesn’t know how to stop.” Onyx agreed.

Kayne emerged around the front of the car with his usual bright smile. I gave a quick smile before inhaling a long drag.

“So, what’d I miss over here?”

Only one of the most intense orgasm
s I’ve ever had in my life
.

“Just a couple of people smoking.” Onyx answered.

“Sweet, well are you ready to get going, Andie?”

I couldn’t seem to find my voice, and I really didn’t trust it either. My body was still calming down after all of that. The last thing I needed was for Kayne to
hear the awkward pitch change as I responded. To be safe, I just nodded.

“Alright well, see you later O. I’ll give you a call or something in a couple days.”

Onyx reached out, and embraced Kayne in a quick man hug. “Whenever you want. Happy birthday, thanks for the invite to this little event.”

Onyx motioned to the clubhouse but shot a little glance my way so I knew what he was referring to.

“Of course, man. You know you’re always invited to family things.”

A dry single laugh came from Onyx. “Oh I know. Your mother is always excited when I show up.”

Kayne chuckled nervously. “We all like when you come around.”

“If you say so. Well, it was a pleasure seeing you again,
Andie
.” The slight emphasis on my name made me realize that for some reason Onyx felt it necessary to refer to me by my full name, only when we were alone.

“You too, Onyx.”

He smiled to me, touching his fingers against his lips. It was the first time I really noticed the array of rings on each of his fingers and bands around his wrist. I swear every new thing I noticed made him that much sexier.

With a final goodbye, I climbed back into Kayne’s SUV. As Kayne started up the truck I slid my eyes over to the side mirror where I watched Onyx walk away. After that little rendezvous Onyx should be out of my system
, and completely forgotten. Instead I was noticing that the more I had of him the more I craved from him.

Kayne talked my ear off the entire way back to my apartment. He named off about fifty different things to do in order to stay out
, but I kept turning him down. I really did begin to feel badly about it, but I just couldn’t manage putting on a happy face all day. This weekend had been more activity than I was used to. I was having actual conversations with people, and being included like I was an actual friend. It was bizarre to me. There was nothing about my life right now that was conducive to any sort of relationship.

I had
three goals, and they were very simple. Make as much money as I could. Get my daughter back, and get the hell out of here.

Creating sweet little friendships right now were off my radar. I just wished Kayne wasn’t such a sweetheart, he was already making it very hard to say no.
Eventually, I got away with the promise to hang out soon. Of course, logistically I didn’t know how that would be possible. I had no phone, no access to a computer, and even if he stopped by “my apartment” he’d never get a hold of me. I decided to leave our goodbye as simple as possible though. If Kayne really wanted to see me again, I had no doubt he’d find a way.

After his car was safely out of view I made the short walk to my own place. I showered off the memories from the morning, as much as I wanted to hold onto anything involving Onyx, I tried to push it aside. Once I was out of the shower I curled up for a nap in order to prepare myself for another night at the club.

It had become a habit for me to bitch about as much shit as humanly possible when I was there. It was a little personal goal to see how many different shades of purple I could get Maurizio’s face to turn. But seeing Daisy again made me remember why I started doing this in the first place. Tonight was the night I needed to get serious, and get my shit together. If I ever wanted my little girl back, I needed to stop screwing around.
