“You’re welcome.” I told her and I watched as she got out of the cab and went home.
Chapter 7
Amelia
What an evening!
My mind whirled with all the experiences of the day and night. Aidan had been fantastic company though I knew I had friend-zoned him. Hey, if you didn’t get horny for a guy while standing at the side of him while people had sex in front of you, it wasn’t going to happen!
I pushed open the door of the apartment and shook my foot so that one heeled shoe came off and then repeated it the movement with my other foot.
A door opened. “What’s all the fucking noise? Some of us are trying to sleep here.”
“Henry? I thought you were away until tomorrow?” I stood frozen in the doorway while my mind caught up with reality.
“It finished early, and I decided I’d rather be home. Where have you been anyway until this hour? Have you been drinking?”
I began to walk down the corridor towards him, my path a little haphazard as the alcohol messed with my equilibrium.
“I might have had a little drink.” I said, holding my finger and thumb about an inch apart.
Henry leaned against the door jamb. He was wearing pajamas, and his pajama shirt wasn’t fastened. I could see a little of his chest. I wanted to see more damn it.
“A little drink, right?” Henry’s mouth curled at the edges.
I stood and placed my hands across my chest. “Are you laughing at me?”
“So, where did you go?” He asked me. “And who with?”
I place a finger on my nose. “I’m not telling you where I went, Mr. Nosy. It’s a secret.”
Henry sighed and moved away from the door. “Night, Amelia. I’ll talk to you in the morning.”
“You have a lovely chest.” It was out of my mouth before I could register that I’d said it aloud.
I saw Henry hold himself taut. It just made his ripped chest even more delectable.
I wet my bottom lip with my tongue. I couldn’t help myself.
“So
rry about that.” I said. “But you just put it in front of me, all bare, and I’m just a woman with eyes. I have really good vision and I saw it. Oops.”
My cell phone flashed, and I dug it out of my purse but then dropped it on the floor.
Henry bent down and picked it up while I was still trying to work out how I could bend over without falling.
“You have a message from Aidan.” He bit out. “Letting you know he arrived home safely.”
I took my cell off him and put it back in my purse, which I then dropped on the floor. Screw it, I’d pick it up in the morning.
He grabbed hold of my arm. “Are you dating Aidan?”
“No.” I shook my arm away from his hold. “But if I was, what has it got to do with you?”
“Fuck this.” He said, and stepping in front of me and putting a hand behind my waist, he backed me to the wall next to his bedroom door.
His lips crashed onto mine and despite my drunken haze, I felt and experienced every single sensation that the kiss delivered. Goosebumps sprang up on my neck and along my arms. My panties, still damp from the club experience, were in danger of becoming sodden. I placed my arms up around his neck and gave myself up to the kiss. His tongue entered my mouth, dancing with my own. I felt my nipples harden and I let out a moan. Then his lips left mine as I was held at arms length.
