When Hearts Collide (Complete)

~ Chapter 14 ~

                    Jackie watched him go and then turned her gaze to Justin, lifting a brow at him.  He grinned and held up his hands, smirking the whole time.  Jackie could only shake her head, still trying to figure out exactly why Bobby would be upset at Justin’s harmless flirting, well to her.  It couldn’t be over the fact that Justin was flirting, after all, Bobby had flirted with her as well.

                She frowned as she wiped down her section and went out to the floor to wipe down some of the tables.  She chewed on her lips as she thought over everything while she picked up some of the empty bottles, her thoughts tumbling around like a washing machine cycle.     

                Yes, she had the talk with herself that this thing with Bobby wasn’t right and she needed to stay away.  But on the flip side, she also knew that something was attracting them.  And it only seemed like they were skirting the issue.  And, actually, that wasn’t very adult of them to keep pushing these types of feelings aside, right?     

                She let out a breath and glanced up, seeing someone walking outside on the patio.  Nights like tonight when it was slower, she often kept the back locked up and only staff went out.  She bit her lips as she noticed that it was Bobby.

                “Hey Justin,” she called as she walked up to the bar to toss the bottles.  “I’m going to step outside for a moment for my break.  It’s pretty slow, think you will be okay?”

“Of course.  I’ll come get you if anything happens.”

                “Thanks.”  She gave him a smile and then turned and walked out, the sound of the door opening causing Bobby to turn around.  “Hi,” she said, walking over to him and resting her arms on the railing, her gaze on the dark waves.

                “Hey.  What brings you outside?”

                “Break time for me and I thought coming outside and enjoying this night air would be great.”  He played with his bottle for a second before he took a drink and looked at her.

                “Yeah, it is pretty nice out.  Reminds me a lot of back home.  I spent a lot of time on the beach.”

                “Well, I’m glad you came out here and I could at least give you something to not miss home so much.”

                “Nah, I don’t miss it too badly.  I grew up there, but there wasn’t much for me beyond my work and my friends.  My dad left when I was a little boy and my mom got remarried about three years ago and she’s out traveling with her husband.”

                “That’s nice; I never found anyone after Greg.”

                “Did Buzz tell you he stopped by?”  Jackie turned and looked at him as he walked up beside her.

                “Yeah, he texted me.  I’m sorry; you shouldn’t have to deal with him.”  Bobby reached out and played with some lose strands of her hair.

                “He’s an asshole.”  Jackie laughed at his comment.

                “I won’t deny that one.”

                “You really can do better, you know.”  She looked into his eyes, silently wishing that Bobby would be better.

                “I know.”  Jackie licked her lips and Bobby followed the movement.  “I’m sorry if, uh, Justin’s dumb flirting upset you.”

                “No, it wasn’t that,” he mumbled, his thumb running over her lower lip, not admitting that it did bother him but for a few different reasons.  “It’s that I can’t do that.”

                “What, flirt?”    

                “Yes,” was his simple response.

                “Why?” she asked on a breathless whisper.

                “Because it makes me want more.”  He kept his eyes on her lips as he shook his head.  “f**k it,” he said right before his lips took hers.  Whatever she thought, it was never that he would kiss her again.  Did she hope?  Of course, but think it would happen, no way.

                Her arms wrapped around his neck as she returned the kiss, a moan coming out from deep within her.  Lord, could that man kiss!  Not only did his lips consume her, but his scent, his power, his strength and his arms, for they had wrapped around her and held her up against him, all consumed her.  Yeah, she was thankful for that, for the way she was all consumed.  She wasn’t sure her legs could hold her up anymore.

                His tongue swept out and over hers, making her core clench and tighten, wanting so much more.  His hands traveled over her back and down to grab her ass, lifting her slightly.  Slowly, his lips broke away and his teeth and lips moved along her cheek and over to her ear, lightly nipping at the lobe.

                “Your ass drives me crazy; I have wanted to grab it from the very first day I met you.”  She leaned her head back, her lips quivering even more at that.

                “Really?”  God, was that her damn voice?

                “s**t yes!  I want to kiss it, bite it and spank it,” he growled against her neck and s**t did those words do amazing things to her already wet p***y.

                “f**k,” she moaned and he chuckled, but the door opening, and the voice asking for Jackie to come back in, in a rather hard tone mind you, broke them out of their lust filled scene.  They pulled away and she peeked over his shoulder at Justin.  “I’ll be right there.”

                “Thanks,” was his curt reply as he closed the door and Jackie looked up at Bobby, swallowing hard.

                “I….duty calls.”  He cleared his throat and nodded.

                “Uh, yeah.  You don’t mind if I say out here, do you?’

                “No, take your time, Bobby.”  He nodded, and then stepped back, allowing her to walk around him.

-----

                He watched her walk in and then finished his beer in one long gulp.  Beer was on the house but he was wondering if she would allow him a bottle because he felt he needed it after that.  Not that he hadn’t enjoyed it, because holy s**t, did he!  That was better than their other kiss.  And f**k, did her ass just feel amazing in his hands.

                He wasn’t lying when he told her what he wanted to do.  And hell, even if people could see outside, he had no problem wanting to take those jeans off and see that ass in person.  And maybe that was a bigger problem than he thought.  Not the people watching him, that was never a kink he got into, but the fact that he wouldn’t care.  Didn’t that speak volumes that he could go and get into something out in the open and never think about anyone maybe seeing them?

                “Way to go Bobby,” he muttered to himself.

                “Talking to yourself?”  Bobby quickly turned around and looked at the woman who had walked outside.  f**k, it was the first woman he had brought up to his place.  s**t, what was her name; Sally?  Susan?

                “You can’t be out here,” he told her, tossing the bottle and walking to the door.

                “You are.”  She grabbed his arm as she spoke and stopped him.  “I saw that kiss and thought you might need something to help.”  Her hands ran over his chest but he stopped her.  He did need something, for his d**k was up and hard, but he knew damn well that she wasn’t what he needed.

                “Maybe later, right now…”  She stopped him as she stood on her toes and quickly caught his lips, catching him off guard.

                “Excuse me, you can’t be out here.”  He broke the kiss and quickly looked up, seeing Jackie.  She glanced between the two and he swallowed hard as he saw the hurt in her eyes.
