B. Love - To Protect & Swerve

Please note:

This is a 30,000-word NOVELLA.

It has a few BDSM elements in it and a LOOOTTTTT of sex . Mostly in the beginning, but still, theres a lot of sex.

It showcases a couple meeting, getting nasty, and deciding to give this love thing a try.

There is also a brief mention of DV.

If any of those things disturb your spirit, skip this read and choose another from my 100+ catalog.

Brave enough to proceed? Okay. Swipe at your own risk

I would destroy him there was no doubt in my mind about that. He had no idea who I was and what he was setting himself up for trying to be with me. All I could do was chuckle as he ran his best game. Truth of the matter was, I knew if I was going to give a man a chance at my heart or pussy within the first five minutes of conversing with him. And as handsome as this man was, there was no passion radiating from him as he talked to me letting me know the fire I had would burn him alive.

Running my hand over the small whip tattoo on my wrist casually, I smirked as he offered to take me to dinner tomorrow night. I shook my head and chuckled quietly as I decided to finally put him out of his misery. There was no point in drawing this out and making him think he had a chance. Especially tonight. Id come out to unwind and kick it with my crew not flirt with men that I saw absolutely no future with.

Listen. Softening my voice, I stepped closer so those around us wouldnt hear my rejection. Didnt really matter, though, everyone in my crew knew it was coming. Theyd all turned their heads with smiles on their faces except my best friend, Rome. Hed never take his eyes off me for too long when I was dealing with someone. That had always been the protector in him. You seem like a really nice guy, but no thank you.

I was hoping my rejection wouldnt hit his pride too hard and have him expressing shame and embarrassment as anger because hed have all kinds of guns and knives pointed at his head and throat.

You sure? he asked softly, smoothly, taking a step closer to me.

The heat from his body admittedly had my nipples hardening. I wasnt expecting him to challenge my rejection, and it kind of turned me on a little. Showed me there was more backbone in him than I thought there was. Still, unless he was dominating and alpha in nature, a freak in the bed, and able to use a whip to tease, tickle, and torture me I was out of his league. I watched as he slowly licked his lips and swallowed hard.

Positive, baby. Trust me, this is for your own good.

When I patted the center of his chest, he gripped my hand and kept it there. Why dont you let me be the judge of that?

Your man on his way over here, Rome warned.

I dont have one of those.

He chuckled, gripping me by the arm slightly and pulling me more into him. Well, whatever you call that nigga he here. I looked in the direction that Rome was looking in, and sure enough, Felix was on his way over to us. All I could do was release an irritated sigh. He was the reason I wasnt trying to give ol boy some play.

Felix wasnt into BDSM when we first met. Hell, he didnt even talk shit when he was giving me the dick. I had to mold him into the kind of man I liked, but he still left a lot to be desired. My training had turned me into the Dom and him the sub, which defeated the whole purpose of it for me. The whole point of me being into BDSM was to be dominated by my partner and that was why I was waiting for the perfect time to cut him off.

But it was going to be hard. Felix was sprung as hell. I wouldnt say that he loved me because I didnt give enough of myself for him to love me, but he did love my pussy. My control. The way I took care of him after we played.

You almost had me tempted, but I cant. Sorry.

I walked away quickly before ol boy could reply. The last thing I wanted was for Felix to be on some possessive shit and ruin the vibe. That was one of the reasons I hadnt invited him out tonight. When I rode out with the car club that me and Rome started, there was no space for lovey dovey shit, being bood up, or drama. All I wanted to do was ride, smoke and drink, eat good, and have a good time.

Meeting him halfway, I stepped in his path and kept him from getting too close to my crew.

Hey, I spoke, crossing my arms over my chest and looking up at him. What are you doing here?

I told you about putting your location on your social media. Anybody could pull up on you.

While I appreciated his concern, this was a conversation wed had too many times for my liking, especially since he was the only person ever pulling up on me.

Does it look like Im worried about anyone pulling up on me? I asked, looking back at Rome and a few of the guys that were standing where Id just come from. Paris was over there too, and that pretty ass bitch was just as lethal as the rest of our crew. Between her and Rome, Id never have to worry about anything. Same went for them when they were with me. We were family, and we always had each others backs.

Still. Thats not safe, Larisa.

Not wanting to argue with him, I merely nodded and agreed just to shut his ass up.

Okay, Felix. Is that all?

His head shook. I was trying to see if I could get a little of your time tonight since I have to leave out tomorrow. Ill be gone for two or three weeks.

Felix being a truck driver was supposed to be a good thing. It was supposed to keep this as a sex only arrangement without either of us catching feelings, but somehow, with the little bit of time we had hed still managed to gain them. I really didnt want him to ride out with us because hed be clinging to me too much, but I didnt want to tell him no and hurt his feelings either.

You can ride out, I offered, knowing Rome and Paris would give me a hard time about it.

I was hoping we could do something alone.

My brows wrinkled as I chuckled and shook my head. Nah. Ive been looking forward to linking with the crew all week so I could unwind. Im trying to have some fun.

You saying you cant have fun with me?

Im saying you know we dont do the date nights and shit. We cant have sex tonight because Im on my period. So what else do you expect us to do?

His shoulders slouched as he looked over my head probably to Rome. He swore we were fucking off, but me and Rome had been best friends since middle school. Not once had the thought of being more ever crossed either of our minds. Wed never kissed or had sex or any of that other friends with benefits shit. Rome was truly like a brother to me, and I couldnt fathom things being romantic between us. Just the thought of trying to think about that twisted my stomach. Yuck!

I was hoping I could take you to dinner and grab some drinks afterwards, Larisa. Maybe go to that new park youve been mentioning and ride the go carts and play laser tag.

I squeezed my neck, feeling even more guilty because of the effort he wanted to put in. This would definitely have to end soon. He was really trying to turn this into something that it wasnt, and that really made me uncomfortable. I didnt want to feel forced to date and be in a relationship when all I wanted from him was sex, nor did I want to hurt him by me not giving him what he wanted and needed.
