I glance around the cabin as I close the door; Mia must own half of the stock from Noir Valley’s only dress shop and its contents are spread over the bed. The bedside cabinet is cluttered with more of Mia’s junk. I need a piss and step into the small bathroom and come to a halt once more. The toilet seat is down and on top of it lies Mia’s toiletry bag. I turn to the small bathroom cabinet and open the door. My hand sweeps out to stop the small make-up bag as it takes a tumble and I push it back into the cabinet and close the door. I glance at my watch. I’ve wasted five minutes and haven’t seen Mia. Leaving the cabin, I head for the club private room, where I spot her talking to one of the club whores, and I hold back my groan when it dawns on me, it’s Teach. A quick sweep of the room confirms church hasn’t started yet and I head over to Mia, taking a swift detour of the bar, collecting a couple of beers on my way. As I cross the room, Mia’s gaze clashes with mine. Her smile wraps around my cock and I curse Day for calling church and Firebird for making me work tonight. It’ll be ninety-six plus hours before I sink my cock into Mia’s sweet pussy. That’ll be ninety-six hours plus since I have had sex. When we stopped over at Sinbad’s, I refused his hospitality of using any of the women. I had my own woman waiting for me at Demon’s Lair. This thought jolts through me. Jo-Leigh was never part of The River Demons. She was never waiting for me when I returned from a run. As I reach Mia, I slip my hand onto her waist and pull her in close to my body. Her scent teases me and I take her lips in a long, hard kiss. She tastes of barley hops and sultry evenings, and my cock twitches as I stroke the curve of her ass covered by her short skirt. Her punishment for refusing my dare to have phone sex was to meet me with no underwear on and my fingers slip under the hem of the short dress. I groan into her mouth when I encounter smooth flesh and nothing else. With another frustrated groan, I break the kiss to look at her. “You refuse to have telephone sex with me, but are happy to be in a room full of hot-blood infused testosterone men without any underwear on.”
“These men aren’t interested in me,” Mia said.
My eyebrow rises, “you think not.”
Mia’s smile is the devil’s and my fingers itch to spank her ass. “I know not.”
“Then you know very little about men.”
Mia shakes her head. Her hazel eyes sparkle with mischief. “You weren’t here last night when Day warned everyone off. It was embarrassing.”
When it comes to women Day is a bastard. Yet he is one overprotective bastard when it comes to his men and their women and I thank him silently. “It just saves me from doing it.”
Mia frees herself of my embrace and accepts the beer I offer her. Her smile slips. The gleam in her hazel eyes dim. If it wasn’t for the hard-protruding nubs of her tits through the soft cloth of her light tee-shirt, you would be unaware she is as hungry for me as I am for her. That the kiss we shared had sent the blood directly to my cock. “Hank called round to the house before I left.”
Shit. They were treating Mia like a vestral virgin. My smile is bland as I study her. “What did he want?”
“To warn me.” She frowns as she swallows a mouthful of beer, turning from me as she searches for a seat. When she finds one and goes to sit on it, I pull her into my arms and settle her on my lap. “Shit, Alex. I haven’t told him or the folks I was moving on to Demon’s Lair. How the fuck did he find out.”
I shrug as I sip my beer. Before going on the run, I had informed Day and Leon about Mia moving onto the riverboat. They must be the ones to set the rumors going. It’ll not be long before Jono makes his move.
“You obviously listened to him.”
Mia takes a long drink of her beer and as I watched the muscles on her throat as the liquid slides down it, my cock twitches in its need to replace the bottle and have her lips locked around my hard flesh as she sucks and licks me. “I love him, Alex. But there are some things a brother just can’t do for you.” Her smile has me glancing at my watch, wishing we had the time to slip away for a quick one. To do things which will satisfy me that a brother is unable to do.
“Well if there’s anything you need doing. Let me know and I’ll see what I can do.”
Mia’s hand slips to my zipper and her fingers play with the small tab. “I have this burn in my pussy which needs attention.”
I shake my head as I grip her wrist. “I’ve church,
