Possessing Eve (Book Two)

Chapter Four

            We walked into the busy bar, where Joel led me to one of the booths. Of course, he had to be all gentleman-like and grab my pullover for me before I took a seat. Surprisingly, it wasn’t as awkward as I thought it was going to be. We fell into this comfortable silence until a woman came over to take our order.

            “Um, I’ll just have a cold beer and cheese fries,” Joel said, placing his order while staring at me.

            “Actually, make it a large order of cheese fries to share and another cold beer for me too.”

            Joel chuckled while nodding his head. “You just assumed that I was going to share my cheese fries with you? Do you know how special cheese fries are, Eve?”

            Licking my lips, I leaned into the table. “I do, they are a delicacy as far as I am concerned, and no one loves cheese fries as much as I do. Sorry, you will just have to suck it up and share tonight.”

            I had to admit that Joel was smoking hot tonight. His blue eyes pierced me as if they saw right through me. He had on jeans with a ripped shirt that showed off how muscular he was under the clothes he was wearing. It looked like Joel did absolutely nothing with his hair, though, other than running his fingers through it, which was incredibly sexy. Where the hell was I going with this?

            Our cheese fries were soon being delivered to our table. Not hesitating one bit, I was the first to dive in. Without using a fork, I grabbed the fry that was soaked in the most cheese, quickly devouring it and saving the cheese running down my thumb for last.

            “Could you stop that?” Joel asked, staring as I licked the cheese from my thumb. “It’s distracting.”

            Something about knowing that he must have imagined me doing very dirty things to him got me all excited. Joel wasn’t my first choice to get tangled in the sheets with, but I would take about anyone right now.

            I leaned in once again, taking his index finger, dipping it into the cheese, and licking it off. “Why? Is this turning you on, Joel?”

            He huffed under his breath, pulling his hand away from me and placing it on his lap. “That’s enough. I’m not here to play games with you, Eve. Is it so hard for you to believe that someone might want something else from you other than s*x?”

            “Like what? Like a relationship? Here is a heads up, Joel, I don’t do relationships. They only cause heartbreak and misery. Neither of those things sounds very fun to me. I’m young and want to experience my youth for as long as I can. Being stuck in a relationship with someone right now seems more like a death sentence than a love story.”

            Joel surprised me by slamming his hand on the table. The entire bar fell into complete silence. “That’s bullshit, and you know it! Why even agree to come out on a date with me in the first place if that’s how you felt?”

            I rolled my eyes at him, ready to end this night before it even started. I knew this would be a bad idea. “If you recall, I didn’t exactly agree to go out on a date with you. You won this date in a game of pool. If I thought that there was an out button, I would have pushed it already.”

            “You know what? Do what the f**k you want to do, Eve! It’s exhausting trying to keep up with you.” Joel chugged his beer and slapped a hundred-dollar bill on the table before getting up. “It’s unfortunate that you can’t let someone into your life because you are too afraid of what might happen if you do. Honestly, I feel bad for you more than anything else.”

            Joel started to walk away before I grabbed his hand. I’m not sure what made me reach out to him. It wasn’t his choice of words, that was for sure. I still had no interest in dating Joel, but I did see how fun it might be to toy with him. That was super petty of me, I know, but I planned to show Joel just what it was like to try and get in any kind of relationship with me. If he wanted to play with fire, I’d be sure to burn him for it.

            “I’m sorry. Don’t leave. I owe you a date, and I plan on seeing it through. How about we play a game a pool to loosen up a little?”

            We walked over to the pool table together. Joel had his arm wrapped around my waist as we walked up the steps. Just to be the b***h that I was, I bent over in front of him to pick out my stick, knowing how short my skirt was.

            It worked because Joel stepped closer to me until I could feel his bulge on my ass. My hips worked around his hard-on like no one else was in this bar but us. It wasn’t like I had any intention of sleeping with him. I only wanted to tease him to the point where I broke him, and then I would walk away from him, leaving him as damaged as I was.

            He rested his hand against the wall as his head leaned down low. “Nice thong you have on, Eve. I know what you are playing at here, and it won’t work.”

            That sounded more like a challenge to me. Well then, Joel, challenge accepted. “Are you sure?” I reached my hand between my thighs, accidentally grazing his hard-on. I must have been really drunk that first night because I definitely do not remember him being this big.

            “Careful,” Joel gritted through his teeth. “If you want to touch it, sweetheart, all you have to do is ask.”

            I stood up, adjusting my skirt as Joel held on tightly to my hips. “Looks like you will have to touch yourself there, lover boy.”

            For the rest of the night, I made multiple attempts to get him to snap. I bent over the pool table, showing my ass quite a few more times. I unzipped my corset down in the front to show off my breasts more, and I even whispered in his ear a few times, but nothing seemed to get him to snap. It seems as if I will have to come up with something a lot better than this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            I didn’t know if I had much more restraint left in me. Eve was purposely teasing me any chance that she got and was so damn good at it. There had been many times that I could have touched her and made her mine, but I stopped myself every time. I would make damn sure that it was her who begged me for it, not the other way around. I haven’t begged a girl for s*x in a long ass time, and I had no plans of starting now, regardless of how much I liked her.

            This time, I let Eve beat me in pool since we weren't wagering anything important. If it had been something I wanted, you better bet that I would have beaten her. It seemed more important for her to win, though, which is why I let her. She wouldn’t ever have to know that.

            When it was time to walk Eve back home, I got a little nervous. Eve had been flirtatious all night, and none of it was genuine. She only wanted me to crack under pressure, wanted me to beg her to let me have s*x with her. I’ve held out a lot longer than this before, and I will keep doing it until it was her that I had lying next to me in bed.

            “I had a fun night, lover boy. You know how to show a girl a good time once you loosen up a little.”

            “You mean practically f*****g me with our clothes on in front of dozens of people was a good time to you?”

            She smiled, turning back to race up the stairs. When she pulled out her key and inserted it into the lock, she turned back to me. “Want to come inside?”

            Yes, did I ever! I wanted to come inside and take her straight to her bedroom where I could have my way with her, but I couldn’t. I knew if I walked inside with her, I would agree to whatever she wanted me to so that I could taste her again. “No, not tonight. I got some errands that I need to run.’

            “At this hour? What are you, the Mafia?”

            “No,” I answered her. I grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to my chest. “Is that what you like, Eve? You like the bad boys pretending to be good or the good boys pretending to be bad?”

            Eve dipped her hand under my shirt, stroking my chest. “I like the bad, always, Joel.”

            I grabbed her ponytail, pulling back on it harshly before placing my lips on hers. Hell, if I couldn’t come inside, the least I could do was sneak in one little kiss. However, that one little kiss heated up way too fast. Before I knew it, Eve had her legs wrapped around my waist, grinding her hips over my d**k.

            “Beg me for it, Eve, and it's all yours. Think of how good it would feel to have me inside you.”

            Eve rewarded me with a slight moan, making me slam her into her front door. My hands were all over her body, ravishing it like it belonged to me. That’s when I realized that I had to beat Eve at her own game for this to work. If I was ever going to get her to submit to me, to beg me, I had to tease her just as she teased me. The only difference was that she didn’t know how much power I had over her.

            She still refused to say the words, so I dipped my fingers between her legs, rubbing them over her lace thong and between her wet folds. Eve moaned while holding onto the door as best as she could. Her legs were shaking, and her body was on fire. That was when I stopped, placing her feet back on the ground.

            I kissed her lips one more time, just for a second. “Have a good night, Eve.” She let out a long, harsh sigh as I turned around and disappeared down the stairs that we had just climbed a few minutes ago. I couldn’t help the smile placed on my lips.

            Two could play at this game, and what fun it would be to play with Eve. She thought she had all the control, which was cute. Eve might make me weak and vulnerable, but she had no idea how much restraint I could show when I really needed to.

            I wasn’t more than half a mile down the road before my phone was ringing. Seeing her name pop up on the screen made me smile even harder. “Yeah,” I answered.

            “What do you think you are doing? You touch me without my permission, then just leave as I am on the brink of an orgasm? Do you think that is funny, Joel?”

            “Aw, cute. Is that what you want, Eve? You want to come?”

            “YES!” She screamed through the phone.

            I had an idea that would drive her crazy. Technically it wouldn’t be breaking any of the rules since I wouldn’t be touching her, and she wouldn’t be touching me. “Touch yourself with me on the phone. Let me hear what it sounds like when you do it. Do you have a toy around that apartment, or are we going to have to settle on your fingers for tonight?”

            In the background, I could hear a slight buzz startup from the sound of her toy. “Yes, I got it. Now, what do you want me to do?”

            “Wait there, and I will call you back. Don’t you dare think about touching yourself with that thing until I call you back.”

            After running home, I went straight inside my bedroom and stripped myself of my clothes. Eve answered the phone after one ring. “Where did you go? I’ve been waiting forever!”

            “Oh, calm down. It wasn’t that long. Now, are you lying on your bed?”

            “Yes,” she answered.

            “Good. Spread your legs wide like a good girl.”

            Eve followed my instructions right down to the very detail. It wasn’t five minutes into our conversation, and we were both riding our highs from just the sound of each other. This wasn’t my first choice, but it would have to do for now.
