or
something, I still wouldn't think less of you. He and Deb are done, regardless
of why they're done, they are. And I don't think it was because of you and a
kiss, regardless of how amazing it was. There has been something... off...
between them for a while now. Or at least, nothing seemed exactly right. So, if
you want to, then go for it. He is a free man."
Gia smiled, "Thanks. But no, it's not going to
happen."
Kelly shrugged, then smirked at Gia. "Well then, I'll
keep it to myself. But, you may want to put some makeup on that giant hickey you're
sporting."
She turned and left, shutting the door behind her, leaving
Gia gaping after her, stunned right down to her toes.
Hickey? She had a hickey?
Damn that man!
Chapter 15
Gia's day had sucked. It turned out that her morning coffee
with Kelly, blended with the inquisition and the grueling admissions, had
actually been the highlight of her day. Her constant trips to the restroom to
make sure her makeup was still hiding the bite mark on her neck had done
nothing to improve her mood. So, by the time nine o'clock rolled around Gia was
more than ready to close up early and go home.
As soon as Aaron was done with his last customer Gia sent
everyone home. Her mood was apparently bad enough that no one even questioned
her, simply grabbed their things and headed out the back. Gia turned off the
lights, dropped the blinds and locked the front door behind her.
She turned to see Josh sitting in his Shelby, watching her,
a predatory look in his eyes. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't stop the
little shiver of pleasure that ran over her skin.
"Josh," she said by way of a greeting. She flipped
her keys around, finding the key to her jeep and walking toward her car. Which
just happened to be parked right next to Josh's. Something she had no doubt had
been intentional on his part.
When she didn't say anything else, he jumped out of his car,
over the side not through the door, and walked over to her, pressing up against
her back as she tried to open the door.
"So, you really think that you can just ignore me?
Ignore this? That will make it all go away?"
Gia took a deep breath, trying to ignore his body heat, his
chest, his groin, all brushing against her back. Apparently she didn't respond
quickly enough, because Josh continued.
"I told you I was going to come over tonight. I wasn't
entirely sure what time you were going to close up, so I thought I would wait
for you. I'm guessing you're done for the night?"
She nodded, not trusting her voice.
"Good, then I'll drive you home."
"My car is right here and I only live a couple blocks
away, lawyer boy. I'm fairly certain I can get myself home."
Now he pushed harder against her, bringing his hands up to
rest against the side of her jeep, effectively trapping her with his body. She
could feel his breath against her ear when he answered, "I'm sure you can.
But I'm not letting you out of my sight until we talk about this, Gia."
He nipped her neck, reminding her of the bite mark she had
spent all day hiding. She may still have chills running through her body, but
she was done with his overbearing attitude. Done with his assumptions that she
was simply going to give him his way.
She bumped her hips back...hard. Hard enough to cause a
quick intake of breath as she slammed into his already obvious erection. The
shock, and probably a little twinge of pain, caused him to move his hands and
back up a step.
"I happen to agree that we need to talk Josh, but I
will drive my car home. You may follow me and we can discuss this... behavior
of yours somewhere more private."
Her body may give in to him, but she'd be damned if her will
would.
Without saying another word, Josh turned and walked back to
his car, starting it up as she climbed into hers.
She must have been mistaken, but she could have sworn she
heard him chuckle as he walked away.
The drive to Gia's house took less than five minutes, even
when driving cautiously to avoid
something, I still wouldn't think less of you. He and Deb are done, regardless
