‘Mmm? No.’ Kate shook her head.

Will looked at her mouth, longing to kiss her again. He wondered what her face looked like when she came. He imagined himself making her come, making her scream and moan and writhe beneath him… or on top… standing up against the wall…

‘Tired?’ Kate asked. His eyes were dark and heavy-lidded. He must be worn out, she thought.

‘No, I’m fine,’ he said throatily. ‘It’s just a bit hot in here.’ He shifted restlessly in his seat.

‘It is, isn’t it?’ Kate felt as though she was on fire. ‘Why don’t we have coffee in the living room?’ she suggested, jumping up to clear the plates. ‘It’s cooler in there.’ In a frenzy of lust, she needed to move around to stop herself pouncing on him. ‘You go on through.’

When she brought in the coffee, she didn’t sit next to Will,instead choosing the couch opposite his, with the coffee table as a buffer between them. When they both reached for the milk jug and their hands touched, she pulled hers away as if it had been burned. They drank their coffee in silence. Will seemed on edge again, drumming his long, slender fingers on the arm of the sofa. Kate watched them, imagining them in her hair, stroking her skin, exploring the curves and crevices of her body…

‘So, um, what time is your flight in the morning?’ she asked.

‘Ten o’clock.’

‘Right. You’ll have to be up early. Is there anything I can do for you?’

Take off your dress. Kiss me. Wrap your legs around me. Let me inside you.Will could think of a million things. ‘No, thanks,’ he said, draining his coffee.

‘Well…’ She stood, awkwardly smoothing her dress. ‘It’s getting late and you’ve got an early start. I think I’ll go to bed.’

Suddenly Will shot to his feet. ‘Take me with you,’ he said urgently, his eyes burning into hers, his breathing ragged.

Kate stared at him, terrified she had misheard, or misunderstood. But before she had a chance to speak, he had crossed the distance between them and was kissing her with a desperate hunger. ‘Take me to bed with you,’ he breathed into her mouth.

‘Yours or mine?’ Kate kissed his throat, tugging at his T-shirt until Will raised his arms for her to take it off over his head. Her hands ran feverishly over the warm skin of his chest, while she kissed his mouth, his stubbly chin.

‘Whichever is nearest.’ Will shuddered as she grazed a nipple with her teeth.

But they knew they weren’t going anywhere. They exploded against each other, lips, teeth and tongues clashing, hands tearing at each other’s clothes. Kate felt the cool air against her skin as Will unhooked her bra, followed by his warm, caressinghands on her breasts. She felt his body clench as she unzipped his jeans and took his cock in her hand. But even as his kisses became more urgent, his hands less gentle, she felt the tension in his body and sensed his restraint.

Kissing her way down his chest, she dropped to her knees in front of him. He shivered as she kissed his taut stomach, his fingers digging into her shoulders as she curled her tongue into his belly button. He groaned jerkily as she took him into her mouth.

‘Kate…’ he breathed, stroking the side of her face. She heard a world of tenderness in that one word.

As she flicked her tongue around the head of his cock, circling it slowly, the quiet was shattered by a piercing, high-pitched shriek.

The next thing she knew, Will had given her an almighty shove and she was sprawled half-naked on the floor, with Tina glaring down at her, looking like the wrath of God. He had his back to her and was zipping up his jeans. Kate covered her breasts with an arm, scrabbling frantically on the floor for her bra. Before she could get to her feet, Tina flew at her. ‘You fucking bitch!’ she snarled, claws out.

Will spun around in time to block her, grabbed her flailing arms and held her off. Tina struggled ineffectually to escape his grip, whimpering with rage.

‘Christ, sorry, Kate. Are you okay?’ Suddenly realising he had knocked her flying, he reached down to help her up. But as soon as he loosened his grasp on Tina, she broke free of him and hit out blindly, scratching his face and pummelling his chest and head.

‘Jesus!’ Will swore, holding an arm in front of his face. He managed to grab both her arms and held them behind her back. ‘What are you doing here anyway?’ he said, almost accusingly.

‘You bastard!’ she screamed, straining to break free of him. ‘I came back because I was worried aboutyou! I thought you were upset about your father. But instead I find you here getting your jollies with this… thisblimp!’ she spat, her eyes sparking fury as Kate scrabbled on the floor for her clothes. ‘What happened?’ she yelled. ‘Did you run out of food to stuff your face with so you had to gobble my boyfriend the minute my back was turned?’

With a supreme effort, she wrenched herself free of Will and lunged at Kate, grabbing a handful of her hair and jerking her head back so hard that Kate felt her neck would snap. She gasped in agony. ‘Can’t you last a second without shoving something in your fucking mouth?’ Tina screamed.

‘Let go,’ Will said, taking Tina’s wrist and squeezing it until she cried out in pain.

‘You shit!’ she spat, eyes blurred now with tears.

Kate seized her opportunity. With Will occupied in holding Tina off, she abandoned the search for her bra, scrambled to her feet and, clutching the top of her dress to her chest, shot out of the room.

‘Kate!’ Will shouted after her, but she kept going.

She took the stairs two at a time. As she reached the top, she heard the front door open. ‘Kate?’ Louise called after her, but she didn’t look back.
