UNTOUCHABLE (Siri's Saga Book 1) (37 page)

And he starts to say but doesn't finish. "It's the way I …." His eyes crinkle with my words, and his words are lost as the song ends. He jerks my head back again and surveys my neck. Hoots and hollers, Hell Yeah's, Yee Haw's and Damn's, all fill the air. When he releases me, he winks. "Territory marked and claimed, My Thang. That shouldn't leave any doubt to anyone!"

"Damn straight! That was fucking crucial!" He pulls me, trailing behind him back to our table with our cinched hands as "Can't Hold Us" by Macklemore plays and the dance floor starts to thump.

At the table, Gaby is sitting on Steve's lap and Paul has another girl. Everyone's face has a different expression, but no one says anything at first. When we sit down, Aurei sits first spreads his legs and sits me inside so that we are both facing the table and the stares.

Paul leans across, looking Aurei directly in the eye and asks him in a serious tone. "How long have you known each other, Bro?"

Steve's ears pick up and he dumps Gaby off his lap to lean across the table too. They are both super serious now.

I can feel that Aurei is relaxed so I follow his lead. He looks at me. "I've known her a few months, but we only met … almost a week ago?" He takes the two drinks that Gaby has refilled for us and hands one to me. He sips his as he waits for my answer.

"Yeah." I sip mine and watch his bro's over the rim.

Paul raises his eyebrow slightly and looks from Aurei to me, but directs his question to him. "It's kinda quick, don't you think?"

I look at Aurei and he smiles at me. "Is it?" He asks as he looks at the girl in Paul's lap then looks at Paul. His cold, honest stare makes Paul blink.

Serious Alpha Male domination applied to the bro there.

Paul answers with his own cold, honest stare. "Not for me. I fuck everybody, but you don't."

"No, I don't. So, what's the problem if I choose Siri?"

"You've been so careful for so long. I'm, we're…." He looks to Steve for support. "Surprised that you would take a chance on a girl you have just met, and no one knows."

Aurei smiles as he plays with my hair. "I know her."

Gaby says softly not necessarily wanting to be heard and brought into the discussion. "Me too." I look up at her and she gives me a small smile.

Aurei leans over, pushes my hair back and plants a kiss on his mark. "Thanks Bros, for the love, but I got this." He pulls me back against him, wrapping his arms protectively over my chest.

Paul and Steve stare at us, then Paul takes a chance. "What do you know about her exactly?"

I feel Aurei bristle, then relax when he states. "She
is
the girl of my dreams."

Steve's mouth almost falls open, but he manages to keep it closed.

Paul stares past me to Aurei. I can't see Aurei's expression, but Paul's expression speaks volumes.
He was def given a 'back off' look.
He smiles at Aurei and looks to me as he leans back, and laughs to relieve the tension. "My bad, Bro. I thought you were just bullshitting us earlier. I didn't know you were serious about that, but since you are." He directs his attention to me. "What do you know about my bro here?"

I turn to look at Aurei and purse my lips. "Not a whole helluva lot, honestly. I only wanted his body."

Aurei chuckles hard then rewards me with an approving peck and we turn back to Paul smiling.

David Archuleta, "Crush" starts.

"Anything else you want to know?" I ask him making Aurei chuckle again. "I didn't realize we needed your permission … Bro."

He laughs too. "Sassy suits you. No." He looks back to Aurei. "You've chosen well, my friend."

Gaby kisses Steve. "Booty coming up." Then walks away. She spins around and comes right back to the table reading a text. "Don said to tell you there is a bottle of complimentary Crown at the bar for you. I'll go get it."

Aurei and I exchange a look, then I ask the others. "Any ideas who would buy that for us?"

Steve says, "Someone offering congrats, maybe?"

Paul looks at him. "Really, Bro?"

Aurei reassures me, joking. "After that kiss, the game for me is officially closed."

The girl on Paul's lap offers. "Maybe a bro got game for her?"

Roger and Brandy recognized me outside.
What if they aren't the only ones?
Suddenly I think of Brutus and realize how hard he works to quietly protect me from all the crazies and over zealous fans.
Damn, I should have been more subtle.

Aurei squeezes me. "Don't look so concerned."

"Habit." I tell him, and my poker face slides on.

Aurei scoots us off the chair. "I'll go find out who it is." Then he sits me back down with a quick peck.

I smile up at him but it doesn't reach my eyes.
This isn't Vegas and Aurei isn't a trained bodyguard.
I look out onto the dance floor as Toby Keith sings "Courtsey of the Red, White and Blue." The whole bar comes alive with patriotic people singing it.

He squats in front of me. "Don't worry, Baby Thang. I won't let anyone hurt you."

"I know. I've seen your hidden thunderous side."

"I'll be quick."

"Ok." I give him a closed smile. Watching him walk away, I try to calm myself.
Don't be paranoid, Siri. These are honorable military men blowing off steam. Aurei will take care of them if he needs too.

When he disappears into the crowd, I turn to see Steve and Paul staring at me, wondering what's going on. I smile weakly at them.
Holy Fuck, I don't want to be sitting here with them and their questions, or silent glares while Aurei is gone.
Standing I say,
"Excuse me, I need to use the ladies room."

Steve points to the back left rear corner.

The girl on Paul's lap stands too. "I'll go with you. I have to pee too."

I look at my new bathroom buddy. "Lead the way."

She smiles sweetly. "Follow me. My name is Debbie."

"I'm Siri."

"Yes, I know."

I stop and look at her. "How do know my name?"

She turns around. "I heard them say it. Are you paranoid?"

"No, just cautious."

"Should you be paranoid?"

"Probably."

We arrive without incident to the bathroom. As I pull the door open, the first person I see is Ruth.
Fuck! Confrontation! I should have stayed at the damn table and faced Steve and Paul.
She doesn't see me at first. She is at the sinks, washing up. I try to slide to the back of the line behind a couple of big girls, but Debbie announces us. "Hey Ruth, look who I found."

Fucking bitch, Debbie!

Ruth spots me and her eyes narrow, but she doesn't say anything to me. She says to Debbie. "How 'bout that."

I smile sweetly at Ruthless wondering if she has gotten the hint, taken a hike and seen the kiss. She walks out without saying anything to me.
Maybe she did.
Stupid Debbie gets back in line behind me. I turn my back to her and ignore her completely.

When it is my turn to take a stall, Scarlet comes out and speaks. "Fucking crucial kiss, Siri." She holds up a Vine on her phone that shows my hickey and Aurei's tongue being sucked deep in my throat. "Sweet!" I say, then go in the stall and relieve myself.
Nope, that didn't leave any doubt. Damn that was hot to watch! I'll have to ask Aurei if he would mind, if I filmed us. The thought of watching his perfect, ripped body and his perfect fucking muscle fucking me till I scream and cum all over him, gets me wet and horny immediately. I slide my hand over my throbbing clit and smile, knowing I will not have to masturbate ever again. Well, maybe if Aurei wants to watch.
Smiling, I finish and go to the sink to wash up.

Resa, Grace, Prissy, Daisy, Ana, Kay, Holly, and Boo are all in line. Resa warns me. "Hey, Siri, Ruth is right outside the door."

Prissy adds. "She just got a pic of the kiss too. She's not happy."

"Good." I tell them as I rinse, and my defensive guard comes up. I hear Brutus telling me while we work on my self defense skills. "The best defense is a surprise offense." I look at the towel dispenser and decide to skip it, and wait for Debbie. I smile at my girl friends. "Thanks for the heads up, ladies."

"Sure, no problem. Maybe it's nothing."

When Debbie steps up to the sink and I open the door to exit. "Maybe."

Nope. It's something.
Ruth and her bitches are waiting for me.
Damn.
The hair on the back of my neck stands up, my adrenaline spikes, and I square my shoulders stepping into the dark hall to face a gang of girls with a stalker leader. I can hear the dance floor jumping to "Sweet Home Alabama," by Lynard Skynard as the bathroom door closes behind me.

Ruth calls out. "YOU BITCH!" She takes a threatening step toward me as the door opens again and Debbie's smiling mug steps through.

She says to Ruth. "Here you go. Promised and delivered."

On offense I open my wet palm, rear back and 'bitch slap' Debbie as hard as I can. The sound of my wet skin striking her soft cheek sounds like a gun shot and spins her around. She screams out in pain and flees back into the bathroom. Shocked, Ruthless takes an involuntary step backwards. Her bitches all gasp, flinch, or do both, but no one moves to attack me or defend Debbie.

Stabbing my finger at Ruth, I let them all know who they are dealing with. "Make no mistake. I
am
a bitch! A Royal Fucking Bitch! And if you want a piece of me, I'm more than happy to take a piece of you." Turning, I poke my finger at each of her friends, saying in a low dangerous voice. "Back off or I'll kick your ass, and your ass, and your ass too … for being fucking stupid enough to follow her." They stare stunned and no one moves, so I back away toward the dance hall.

Ruth barks something at me about "Aurei being hers."
You're really pissing me off!
Standing tall, I march right up to her and lean my head over so she can clearly see the hickey he marked me with. "Territory marked, Motherfucker! Now BACK OFF!"

She growls and reaches for a hand full of my hair.
That's it. I'm kicking your ass for you.
My first line self defense weapon, my favorite, beautiful Christian Louboutin stiletto heel, stomps her sandal at the same time my heel palm strikes under her chin, smashing her teeth together. The sound of them snapping and grinding as her head snaps back is very satisfying. As soon as she releases my hair, I hand shuck her away from me, pushing her forcefully into the wall. Then, I back away while the others absorb what happened. Striking a skilled defensive pose, I wait.

Ruth lets out an angry tirade as she comes off the wall, looking at me with crazy eyes, but she doesn't charge me. She eyes my posture and hesitates.

Unafraid and confident, I turn my palm up on my forward hand and motion her to come to me with my fingers. "Come here, you big mouth bitch. Someone needs to shut you the fuck up!"

"What are you gonna do? Kick all our asses?"

"I'm gonna give it one hell of a try."

"You ain't big enough to take all of us."

"Maybe not, but I
can
take more than one." I trace my finger down an imagine line at them. "Which means several of you will not report to Church tomorrow and maybe work on Monday. Now, who wants to go first?" I curl my fingers again, beckoning any of them.

The 'not so stupid girls after all' turn and walk back into the bathroom leaving Ruth alone.
That's what I thought.

Ruth and I stare each other down as the girls retreat. When the bathroom door closes with a bang, she looks back to discover she's all alone. I advance on her and say in a deadly soft voice. "Leave Aurei the fuck alone, leave me the fuck alone or I'll send your punk ass to the hospital all fucked up! That's a promise from a real ruthless bitch to a pussy nicknamed one." I swing my hair with attitude, turn and leave. Half way down, I see Scarlet and Candy leaning on the wall, smiling at me.

Ruth pulls the door open, growling, and follows her crew of cowards back into the bathroom.

"Sup!" Candy says to me then walks back towards the dance floor and the bar.

Scarlet raises her hand for a high five. "Bad Ass Baby!"

I laugh with her and slap her hand.

The door opens again. Resa and her gang come out, laughing. Kay says to me as they walk by. "Hey Siri, we forgot to say thanks for the free drink."

"No problem! Glad to ease the pain."

Scarlet and I walk out behind them. "So, who's the black haired stud at your table? Is he single? He seems to have roaming eyes and frequent, random booty calls."

"Paul. Yes. That sums him up. Aurei says he loves to fuck and will fuck anyone."

She smiles. "Me too."

"You guys might be a match made in heaven. Come on. I'll introduce you."

Before we can walk out from the hallway, the bathroom door flies opens and several girls run out, yelling. "Fight! Fight! In the bathroom! Fight!"
