They laugh and sit across from us. Right away, two girls come over to Paul and put their arms around him, lean in, whisper something in his ears while they rub his back and chest. He smiles up at them and nods. They sit down on his lap, and he gets lost in their bodies.

Steve ignores Paul and the girls and stares at me, then Aurei, then me, then Aurei. Aurei asks him. "What?"

"What? Fuck man! How did you manage to land such a beautiful girl?

And how long have you two been hooking up?

And why am I only now meeting her? And how could you keep her a secret from me?

From us?" He gestures to Paul. "I thought we were bros!

" He shakes his head, still gobsmacked. "Fuck you, man! You and your secrets."

"Stop your whining. You sound like a bitch!" Aurei says, laughing.

Steve turns to me. "Well?"

"Well, we met in our apartment building. We hit it off, and we're together." Aurei squeezes my thigh, and I know he approves of my concise communication.

He chuckles, not taking his eyes off Steve.

"Shit! There's more to it than that! It can't be that simple."

"I'm not saying another word." I look at Aurei, and our eyes twinkle.

"Wait a minute… you said 'we met in OUR apartment building.'" He frowns at Aurei. "You've moved into an apartment? Why would you move out of your house into an apartment?"

Aurei gives him a patient look. "Isn't it obvious? I moved in to meet her. And I didn't tell you because I didn't want you interfering with my seduction."

Gaby interrupts the interrogation. She sets our drinks down while the guy server that walked me up the table stands behind her, holding a huge platter of chicken fingers and fries. "Hey, Aurei. I brought the usual."

"Sup, Gaby girl, thanks."

She takes the chicken platter. "Thanks, Bruce."

"No problem, Gabs. Let me know if you need anything else. You know I'm into you." He cuts his eyes at Steve as he walks away.

Gaby, who is well endowed, leans over the table to set the platter down, so her cleavage is in full view for Steve. Her tits distract him, and he forgets all about Aurei and me.

I smirk. Tits always draw the attention of a man's eye.

She walks to Steve's side and puts her hand on his shoulder. "When I get off later, you gonna come over and give me a booty call?" She leans over again to put napkins on the table for us, and her tit is inches from his face.

"Sure. I need to get laid."

Paul's face surfaces from between the tits and hair of the two girls as they stand up. They each take a hand and pull him to his feet. "Excuse us. We have a little booty business to handle. I'll be right back."

The DJ announces another graduating class as shouts of "hooah" fill the air.

I look around—content for the first time in a long time. I lay my hand on Aurei's and squeeze it gently as I slide my fingers between his. He looks at me and smiles, relaxed and in his element. My stomach growls loud enough for everyone to hear, and I blush. "Excuse me. My PB&J has warn off."

Gaby looks at me. "You need to eat, girl. You're too skinny." She looks down at Steve. "On second thought, I'll come to get you on my break, and we can hook up then. I've got to go to early church with my parents in the morning."

"Alrighty then. I'll be waiting right here for you."

Aurei reaches over and pulls the whole platter of chicken fingers to us. He picks up a handful of both fingers and fries and stacks them on both our plates. Then he pushes the platter back to the center.

Steve pulls it to him and does the same, then slides it over to Paul's empty place. He stands and excuses himself. "Pit stop."

Aurei takes a fork and stabs one, then puts it to my mouth and commands. "Eat."

I giggle. "You sure are bossy! But I'll be damned if I don't like it!

" I open my mouth, and he holds it out for me to take a bite.

My eyes flash wickedness as I lower my face under it, lean my head back, opening my mouth.

I guide his hand with the fork, so I can engulf the whole piece, closing my lips around it.

It fills my mouth, making my cheeks puff out.

My eyes twinkle at him as I try not to laugh.

"Not as easy as a cookie to swallow, is it?"

Grinning, I open my mouth, letting the fork and chicken slowly slide back out, then I take a very dainty, ladylike bite. "Nope, but I've swallowed bigger and tastier. Have you forgotten already? Do I need to follow you into the Men's room to remind you?"

He puts the rest in his mouth. "Nope, I won't ever forget the view of you eating me.

" He chews slowly, enjoying our twinkling eyes, then he adjusts his chair, draping my legs over his.

He forks another piece and feeds me. I bite without fanfare and eat.

"I like to watch you eat. Your mouth looks so interesting as you chew.

It's so … quiet. And your body looks so comfy sitting here with me. It is so … still."

I play slap him. "Don't get used to it. It won't last."

The DJ spins again. This time it's Toby Keith, "I Love This Bar." It sounds like the whole place knows the song, and everyone is singing with it.

Aurei feeds me a bite of each of the chicken fingers he eats, and I manage to eat most of them before I hold up my hand. "Yummy, but stuffed."

There's a shout-up from the crowd with the song. "FUCKERS!" Laughing, I reach for my crown and take a sip. The warm liquid feels good. There's another shout from the group who identifies themselves as Rednecks.

I set the glass down, and Aurei leans over to say in my ear. "Good girl. You've burned a lot of calories in the last 24 hours."

I nod and kiss his cheek. The skin is soft yet firm, and his beard is prickly.

The scent of Aurei fills my nostrils, and I nibble his skin, unable to help myself.

He turns his lips to mine and sucks my bottom lip.

My tummy lurches, and I'm turned on immediately. Tits hardening and pussy getting wet.

What this man does to me! I reach for my drink again to distract myself.

He grins, knowing what he does to me, watching me as I pick it up and sip it.

Damn, you're a Fucking Fine Feast. A Hunk in every sense of the word!

I set my glass down and look for water, but I didn't order it.

I know he will need more than our drink of crown when he's finished, so I tell him.

"I'm thirsty. Do you mind if I go up to the bar while you finish and get us a couple of bottles of water?

We don't want to lose the table, and Gaby is busy with drinks. "

"No, wait. I'll go." He offers and starts to rise.

"Sit. Finish." I put my hand on his shoulder, pushing him down. "I'll be fine. I do know my way around a bar." I bat my eyes lashes.

"No. I'll go."

"Suit yourself," I tell him with a smirk. My eyes twinkling. "I'll be perfectly comfortable here, sitting with Steve chit-chatting about you while you are up there. He mentioned secrets."

He takes a deep breath and sighs. "That is trickery, right there."

"Could be." I laugh at him as I rise. "I'll go straight there and back."

He nods. "I'm going to time you. Don't dance with anyone. Don't dance at all! You stand out like a fucking beaconing in that outfit, you know."

"I know." I laugh. "No promises, but I'll try." I give him a butterfly kiss and suck his bottom lip as he takes my hand to his groin. "I feel ya neediness!" I acknowledge, then take off straight across the dance floor, moving swiftly, dodging dancers like a dancer.
