apologize for giving you such a hard time all weekend. I just want what’s best for Livi and-
Taylor held up his hands, placating style, “I know you do and believe me, so do I. So you will be happy to know, I was a very good boy all weekend.”
Kate hid her giggles behind Cole’s shoulder and Cole choked on his Jack and Coke. Allie looked equal parts confused and excited. Me? I was just praying Baily didn’t get what Taylor was actually saying. Baily’s eyebrows raised in question as she faced me, “Really?”
Taylor placed his hand on my shoulder and collarbone, giving it an affectionate squeeze, “Tell her Sugar, tell Baily how good I’ve been.”
I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from smiling. I nodded quickly, “He has been very good. Mind blowing, right?”
Cole choked again. Before this weekend was over that guy was going to need CPR. Kate hid her whole body behind him and Allie wrinkled her nose, still not sure what was happening. And Baily? She smiled and said, “That’s go great, I’m so sorry for doubting you guys.” She looked down when her phone dinged and told us our driver was here. We all filed outside and climbed in the car; Cole and Taylor in the 3 rd row, Allie Kate and I in the middle, and of course Baily in the front giving the Georgia native directions to a bar that was 5 minutes away. Taylor put his hand on the back of my neck holding me in place while he whispered in my ear. “Mind blowing, huh?”
His breath in my ear sent shivers up my spine. In that instant all I wanted to do was climb into his lap and ride him the whole way to the bar. Taylor made me feel like the women I write about. Completely and utterly infatuated with a guy. Lust and Love. I turned in my seat, I knew my expression was full of desire, I couldn’t help it. “Mind blowing.” His face was inches away from mine and I witnessed the second his eyes went from playful to aroused. I smiled. “In fact, right this second it’s all I can think about.”
He moved his mouth to my ear once again. “Just say the word baby and I will pull you back here with me.” He nuzzled my neck, breathing me in. “Mmmm, you smell edible. Please say the word, Sugar.”
Cole moved his face next to ours and obnoxiously cleared his throat, shattering the moment. “Could just guys please try and control yourselves? My God, you just got away with telling Baily you’ve been fucking all weekend without her even realizing it. Now just stop touching until we get to the damn bar. I want to be well and wasted before realization dawns on her and she loses her shit.”
Chapter Twenty Six:
Taylor
The bar was small, even by old honky tonk standards. There was a band set up in one corner playing old country cover songs, and playing them well might I add. I still had a semi from the car ride over here. I wanted to grab Livi’s hand and lead her to the nearest bathroom stall. Not too romantic, I know, but damn I wanted to be inside that girl. It didn’t help that she looked like sex on a stick. She had on some cut off shorts, a loose tank top and brown boots. You just knew that she wasn’t even trying to look fuckable. The girls went in search of a table while Cole and I headed to the bar. We figured since Baily had essentially given us the night off, we could cover the bar tab. How much could the 4 of them drink anyway? We brought a round of beers and shots to the table. The song that played was fast and up tempo, I could see Cole fidgeting in his seat. He loved to dance. I put my hand on Livi’s thigh, “Sugar, dance with Cole for me. He’s going to wiggle out of his damn seat.” She laughed and then stood and grabbed Cole’s hand, “Dance with me C-Man.” I smiled, hearing her call my best friend by my nickname for him. Watching Cole expertly twirl, spin, and push Livi around the floor made me feel oddly warm inside. Normally if Cole was dancing with a chick I was planning on nailing after the bars, I’d get
