Chapter 12
"Yeah I really enjoyed myself, I always do at your parents house. Yeah I know, I know...she's a wonderful woman...I will...yes...of course...just gonna pick up a few things for dinner tonight...umm hmmm...yup...alright...ok call you later...love you too, bye." Keyana clicked her phone off and tossed it on the seat next to her.
It'd been nice to see his mother again last night, she needed to put the focus back on their relationship. She was thoroughly ashamed of her behavior over the last couple of days. She wouldn't let him get to her anymore, she'd be firm and stand her ground. She wouldn't allow herself to become riled.
Pulling into the parking lot, she chose a space and parked. Reaching for her purse, she opened the door and got out, heading into the store. She grabbed a small basket on her way in and started down the aisles.
After getting the basics, she headed down to the candy aisle discretely. Quickly she looked back and forth before picking up a bag of her favorite, Baby Ruth. Holding the bag lovingly in her hands, she stared at the design, the white wrapper just begging to be torn open. Oh yes, she had a weakness for chocolate. It was her heart's desire. She sighed contentedly.
"Ya know, Butterfingers are better." A voice whispered in her ear.
Startled, Keyana whirled around to find a pair of blue eyes staring at her.
"Hey." Nick whispered.
"Nick...hello. Funny running into you here." Was that her voice that sounded so breathless?
"Yeah. I don't go out shopping much, it's kinda hard ya know."
Keyana looked behind him to find a large man standing not too far away.
"Bodyguard. I don't get noticed too much alone, but enough. What are you up to?" He asked, looking down at the bag in her hands.
"A little...shopping. I'm just about done now." Silently cursing herself for her lack of self control when it came to candy.
Nick nodded. "You really should get the butterfingers ya know. They can satisfy whatever you're craving."
"I...uh..." She looked around nervously.
"If you're in the mood for something sweet it's perfect."
"Nick I..."
"Or, if you want something creamy and smooth." He murmured, stepping closer to her.
She blinked, swallowing hard, the heat flooding her cheeks.
"When you push it past your lips and into your warm mouth, it slides slowly down your throat."
Scenes were playing through her head, very bad scenes. Her heart pounding wildly in her chest. She shook her head, trying to stop the thoughts.
"It melts in your mouth, driving your senses crazy. It's pure bliss when it meets with your tongue as your teeth pierce..."
"Stop! Stop it!"
Nick stared at her.
"Y-you weren't t-talking about candy bars." She stammered, her body tense with awareness.
Nick looked at her innocently. "I wasn't?"
"No, you weren't."
"I don't know what you're talking about." He said softly.
"Ya know, I could get you for sexual harassment." She breathed. There! How'd he like that?! She wouldn't let him know he was slowly turning her on with talk of sinful candy bars.
Nick tilted his head to the side, a small smile on his lips. He chuckled before slowly leaning in, his lips by her ear. Keyana's eyes widened as his breath fanned her cheek. "It's only sexual harassment if ya didn't like it, and believe me, you liked it." He whispered, brushing his lips over her earlobe, before nipping at it gently. "See ya later Keyana." With that he walked off.
Damn him! Keyana let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, raising hand to her heart. Damn him, damn him to hell. She didn't enjoy that...she didn't. She looked around uncomfortably, her hand nervously fidgeting with the necklace around her neck. She was shaking badly, and hot. She was so hot she couldn't stand it. Fanning herself with her other hand, she threw the bag of Baby Ruth's back on the rack and grabbed a bag of Butterfingers and tossed them into her basket before quickly leaving the aisle.
