The Mane Attraction
Page 87
And youll never find a guy wholl do you the way I do. Youll be so unsatisfied in bed unless youre fantasizing about me. I hope youre ready for that.
I guess Ill just have to suffer about that.
And suffer you will. Mitch leaned across the table a bit. But not yet.
Sissy smiled. I, uh, put something in your pocket when we were coming into the restaurant.
You did? Mitch was usually pretty good about knowing when someone was putting something in or taking it out of his pocket. One of his favorite aunts was a notorious pickpocket, and shed taught him a few things. But Sissy would have done her proud. Because when he grabbed the sports jacket hed tossed onto the seat beside him and dug into the pocket, he found a black lace thong buried inside.
When did you take these off?
When the aunts were arguing over the shoes.
Mitch shoved the thong back into his pocket and started to slide out of the booth. Time to go.
No. No, Mitchell Shaw. Sissys smile was cruel and wicked at the same time. You promised me a date, and a date I shall have.
Oh, come on!
She pointed at the part of the booth where hed been sitting. You just put your butt back there, mister. So we can finish our date all properlike.
With a heartfelt sigh, Mitch slid back across from her. Can I at least sniff your thong?
Only when youre in the bathroom. Dont want anyone to think were tacky now, do we?
Sissy rested back in that lovely booth, her feet in Mitchs lap under the table. Their meal long since finished, they talked, and Mitch rubbed her feet, paying special attention to her instep.
Okay, so what were you like when you were fourteen?
Sissy laughed. Fourteen? Why did you pull that number out of your ass?
I didnt. Its the one age you never discuss. Youve discussed up to you turning thirteen when you said you woke up one day and boom, there were breasts. And when you were fifteen and started building cars. So what are you leaving out? What was Sissy Mae Smith like at fourteen?
I was mean, Mitch. I was really mean.
You sound like you regret it.
No. And she realized she wasnt lying. I dont regret it. I regret some of the things I did, but thats not to say I wouldnt have done them again if the situation called for it.
Words of a true Alpha.
Yeah. I guess. But its hard to grow up a Smith and not be a little bit
Unstable?
Sissy scowled. I was going to say a little bit mean.
Yeah, but Smitty isnt mean.
Bobby Ray has selective memory. He may be nice when it suits him,but Lord help you if you cross that boy.
I try not to. I need the job until I testify.
I remember once back when we were at the mall and this bear, a big ol buck, grabbed Jessie Anns ass. Now we werent hanging together, but we were at the bookstore checking out the car magazines at the same time, and Jessie Ann was in the geek section
And thats the rest of the bookstore, Im guessing.
Cute. Anyway, she did one of her ineffectual wild slaps, but I was surprised because Bobby Ray didnt say anything. Up to this point, he was constantly protecting her. Found out he and the Reed boys waited for that bear outside the bowling alley a week later. Beat the shit out of him. He was big, too, so I think two-by-fours were used, but dont quote me on that.
You knew then, didnt you?
Knew what?
That Smitty and Jessie Ann were
Made for each other? Yeah, I knew. I was surprised he left for the Navy without her. Hell, I was surprised he hadnt gotten her pregnant by then. If nothing else, theyll have cute kids. Theyll be insane hybrids with large heads, but cute. That made Mitch laugh.
What about you? she asked. What were you like at fourteen?
Mitch thought about it a minute and answered honestly. Horny.
Youre horny now.
I was hornier then.
That is truly scary.
Thank Christ I was the only male cub in the house at the time. I had my own room. I jerked off constantly.
Sissy laughed. Thank you for that little detail.
You asked me a question. I was trying to be as forthcoming as possible.
Did you get in a lot of fights?
He snorted. I was six-two by the time I was thirteen. Only the seniors tried to fuck with me, but they stopped after they met Brendon. He grinned. The first time he met me, I had a black eye, and he lost his mind. I told him who did it because I didnt think he really cared. He beat the fuck out of that guy. In Philly, thats a definite sign of caring.
So how come you didnt trust him? How come you gave him such a hard time?
Because I was fourteen. And Marissa. Now she was mean.
You know now, though, right? How much they love you?
Youre not letting that go, are you?
Because you need to know. Look, I know Travis could care less if I lived or died. Same thing with Jackie. Donnie could go either way. But its knowing that Bobby Ray and Sammy love me and would protect me that makes up for the others. You need to know how much they love you. Cause let me tell you, coming down here is not one of Brendons favorite things.
I guess Ill just have to suffer about that.
And suffer you will. Mitch leaned across the table a bit. But not yet.
