Chapter 97 - Wild Temptation After Divorce

Nicole

“Hi, I’m David.”

I looked to my right, as I set down the bag and containers I was holding on a table that was set up by the bonfire on the beach, where we were meeting Mac and Jack and all their friends.

“Hi, I’m Nicole, Savvy’s best friend.”

“Oh, I like Savvy. She cooks like a dream..”

“She sure does. So are you part of the firefighters that are all around?”

“Yeah, I work with Mac and Jack. I’m a firefighter paramedic. What do you do?”

“At the moment, I am enjoying spending time with my best friend. But I am a freelance writer.”

“Oh, so you travel a lot?”

“I did, when I worked for a magazine in Montana, but I recently quit when my boss refused to let me come here when Savvy needed me. So, right now I’m in between projects.”

“Well, that leaves more time to play, doesn’t it,” he said with a s*xy smirk.

I looked at him. He was very good-looking. He was wearing a pair of black swim trunks, his body on full display. He was chiseled. He had nice arms and shoulders, his pecs were muscular. He had the abs with a sharp V line. His hair was black and short, and he had soulful chocolate brown eyes. I was 5’9 so I guessed him to be 6’2. He was yummy looking. His thighs were muscular, so were his calves and he had really nice feet. I found it fascinating that his skin was flawless. He didn't have any scars, piercings or tattoos.

“You look like you’re Italian,” I blurted out.

He barked a laugh, “Good guess. One hundred percent. I got one of those DNA things done. Wanted to see if I had any family out there and also what my ancestry was. My results were that all my ancestors came from Florence, Sicily and Naples. Then some migrated in the early 1900s to the U.S.”

“That’s interesting. My mom’s white and my dad’s black. My dad died when I was a kid and that left me with my mother and her many boyfriends. And I don’t know why I just told you all that.”

He laughed, “Maybe you feel comfortable around me, little mama.” He ran a hand down my arm and then back up to my shoulder. Goosebumps broke out and I shivered a little.

“Little mama? Hmm, I like that.”

“Your skin is silky smooth. You are f*cking gorgeous. Your eyes are very beautiful. They’re like the color of caramel. Just like your skin. I could lick you for hours.”

Jesus. I just felt liquid pool in my bikini bottoms. I haven’t had s*x for weeks. Jeff, my boss, was the last guy I slept with, but it had been a couple of weeks since the last time we had s*x.

“You’re pretty straight forward,” I said.

“I don’t believe in beating around the bush. I see something or someone I like, and find attractive, and I shoot my shot.”

“Are you shooting your shot?” I flirted.

“You’re d*mn right I am.”

I couldn’t help the giggle that came out of me. I looked over at Savvy and saw her standing there looking stunned. I looked where she was looking, I looked at David and nodded towards Savvy before walking over to her.

“Savvy, are you okay?”

She faced me and I caught a lone tear coming from her eyes, she quickly wiped it away and said some bullsh*t about not being someone that men see forever with.

“Savvy, that’s bullsh*t, and you know it,” I hissed at her. Talk like that pissed me off, and I blame Brian for that line of thinking coming from her.

She said some more words and put herself down. I was about to blow a gasket. Savvy was such an awesome person and I loved her so much. She was the best person I knew. She made a mention of something Garrett said and I huffed.

“He did not say it that way,” I scolded her.

Marie came over, and I watched as she tried to cheer Savvy up. I liked her. I could see myself, Savvy and her becoming really close.

I chuckled when she said Savvy could share Garrett with her, and he choked on his drink. Yep, I’m going to like her a lot.

“Nicole, can you put on The P*ssy Cat Dolls on for me? Don’t Cha, please.”

I nodded at Savvy and went to one of our tote bags. I pulled out some speakers and hooked up my phone and turned on the music.

David walked over to where I was standing next to the music.

“What’s she up to?” he asked.

“I think she’s about to teach your boys a lesson to not f*ck with her heart. But I also think her ego is bruised right now.”

“What did they do?” He asked as he saw Mac and Jack walking towards their group.

“They’re flirting with some girls.”

“Um, those aren’t just any girls, though,” he said.

“What do you mean?”

“Those are Jack’s sisters.”

Oh, sh*t, I couldn’t help the grin that came to my face. She’s going to be so embarrassed. I watched as she danced with Garrett and I couldn’t help the uncontrollable laughter that started to bubble out of me. She was a phenomenal dancer, and she gave it her all. I looked at David to see how he was enjoying the show. The laughter dried up in my throat. He was heatedly staring at me. His eyes were blazing with lust and something else, but I couldn’t decipher what.

“Is everything okay?” I whispered.

“You have a beautiful laugh. Like bells. Wanna take a walk with me, little mama?”

“Yeah, I do,” I didn’t know what came over me. Maybe I was just h*rny. He was delicious looking.

But before we could go for that walk, we had to take Jack away from pummeling Garrett. He was seething with anger and jealousy. I gave him the riot act on how it looked from Savvy’s side when David was able to calm him down. After he stomped off, I looked at David, and grabbed his hand.

We walked along the beach, the waves floated in and caressed our feet. He told me about his two adoptive brothers. He had one older and one younger. He said they were really close, that they shared almost everything except underwear. That made me laugh. I told him about growing up in Vegas and how much I hated it. He made me feel comfortable, and I found myself opening up to him a little. I told him my mom and I weren’t close, but not the reasons why. He told me he and his brothers were all they had. No parents. He told me they were orphans and grew up in a horrible environment, but he didn’t give me any specifics. I got the impression that it wasn’t good. His brothers were Colton and Liam. Liam was a high school math teacher and Colton was a security specialist and former Marine.

“He meets a lot of celebrities and politicians. He travels a lot too. He always brings something back, from wherever he went, for Liam and I. Like I said, we are super close.”

I looked at him. He kept saying that. He told me a little about working at the fire station. It was really interesting. Maybe I could write a community piece and sell it to a local magazine or newspaper.

I really found him interesting and genuine. He was a great conversationalist. We turned around to walk back towards the bonfire when all of a sudden he stopped walking, which made me stop and look at him. He lifted a hand and with his pointer finger he caressed my cheek.

“I like talking with you. You’re a great listener. You’re very interesting, and I like getting to know you.”

“I really like talking to you too. You are also a great listener and are interesting.”

“Would you like to go out to dinner with me tomorrow night?”

I looked at him, he was following his finger with his eyes, as he went from my cheek to the bottom of my chin, and then started to go down my neck. He looked mesmerized.

“I would love to,” I said.

His eyes snapped to mine and he smiled. He reached down and grabbed my hand, and we continued our walk. When we got back to the bonfire, Savvy was with her guys, and they were all over each other. Someone called out that we should get a picture, so I stood next to Savvy and I smiled as David stood next to me and wrapped his arm around my waist.

The rest of the night we ate hot dogs and the food Savvy made, and I gorged on the pineapple empanadas Savvy made for me and fed some to David. I drank a little too much, and I was all over him. His kisses were drugging. He took me to his vehicle, and we got in the back seat. I straddled him as we made out. I had on a red one-piece bathing suit that had strategic cutouts and a pair of black cotton shorts. I could feel his hardness and couldn’t help but grind on him. He moaned as we kissed, he caressed my open back.

“I f*cking love the feel of your skin. Let me take you to my place tonight? Please?”

I didn’t hesitate. I nodded. I was so turned on. We ran back to the bonfire to grab our stuff. I couldn’t find Savvy, so I texted her and told her I was going home with David. He grabbed my hand and impatiently dragged me to his truck. I giggled and he smoldered at me.

“Hold on, little mama. I’m about to break a few laws. I can’t wait to get inside you.”

Mmmm, me too.
