No. She was NOT starting to think her childhood friend and boss was hot. Not so soon after she kicked Barret to the curb for cheating...that son of a bitch had lied to her face and then she caught him in bed with another woman. She swore not to bother with men for a long time. So why was she craving love again?
"Hey, take a picture, it'll last longer!" Guzma gave Plumeria one of his "you're an idiot" looks. And she realized she had been staring at him. The nearby grunts snickered. "Seriously!" He continued. "Something on my face?"
Plumeria's mind raced. She looked away from his face, at his shirt collar that had what looked like a shred of cheese hanging from it. Shred of cheese hanging! "No, but you've got some cheese on your shirt." She didn't wait for him to reply. She turned and left, making her way to one of the rooms with beds, not realizing he was right behind her. She almost slammed the door in his face.
He gave her an ornery smirk. "That's not cheese. It's yellow bell pepper." He picked the piece of his lunch off his shirt and put it in his mouth and swallowed. "How dumb do you think I am? Ya Boy Guzma knows a 'come hither' look when he sees one! You want it? Then come and get it!"
Awkward pause. "My dad might be an asshole, but he did teach me some morals. I will never force myself on a woman or throw the first punch. If a woman hits me, you bet I'll fight back though. Same thing here. I've given up on strippers. They make me consider breaking that rule and I don't want that sort of trouble. But man, do I miss those lap dances!"
"...Okay, you caught me." She forced herself to speak. "I was...looking at you that way."
"But you're scared. Scared I'm going to break your heart like what's-his-name. He wouldn't even join the team! That should've been a red flag right there."
"He couldn't join because he'd probably get fired from his job if his boss found out."
"Bullshit!" Guzma swore. "If he really wanted to keep you, he'd quit that damn job! An idiot like that doesn't deserve you." He gave Plumeria a seductive grin and a wink. "I can't promise you the world, but I can show you a good time. Right here, right now. You know you want to."
She closed the door, then sat down on the bed and looked up at him. "And you're so confident you can because?"
He smirked. "Because Rosy Palm and her five sisters kept coming back for more." He held up his hand and wiggled his fingers. "Okay, they don't really count...but just trust me on this one, I'm sure I'm not bad."
Plumeria chuckled. For the first time, she found herself thinking he was so cute when he made jokes. Barret rarely did that...he was usually pretty serious. "Okay then. Let's go. On the count of three, we both strip. One...two...three."
When she turned back to him after stripping down to nothing, she swore she saw some drool hanging out of his mouth. He was looking at her breasts with a glassy eyed stare. He wasn't bad looking himself, his abs were decent, and further down...probably about the same size as Barret's, and it was already starting to harden. She gave him a nod. "Go ahead. Touch me wherever. With your hands, lips, or whatever else."
