Abe and I had taken showers separately, and I’d gotten into the bed while he went to sleep on the couch. Thankfully I’d remembered to pack a full set of pajamas, so I wasn’t exactly indecent, but I still brought the sheet up to my chest because I didn’t sleep with a bra on. I leaned back against the pillows, glancing over at the bathroom door.
Abe is in there, showering.
Naked.
My body shivered and I blushed. My thoughts were going in the wrong direction again, and I ducked under the covers. He would probably come out of there with nothing but a towel around his hips, drops of water still dripping down his wide chest…
Stop it, I admonished myself.
It really was dangerous just being in the same room with him, especially when I was sexually frustrated! He might as well have put himself on a silver platter and asked me to go eat him! I closed my eyes, trembling as I held myself and waited. When I heard a door open, I went completely still.
“Brooklyn? Are you up? If you are, you can use the bathroom now. If you take too long we’re going to be late for the event.”
Tentatively, I tugged down the covers so I could see, and inhaled sharply.
Dammit, Abe!
He was doing this to me on purpose. Exactly what I’d imagined was happening right in front of my eyes, only the reality was a hundred times better than my imagination. Abe had a small towel wrapped around his hips that barely covered his thighs. He had another towel on his head that he was using to rub down his dark hair. Drops of water deliciously dripped down over his chest and abs, and I could feel my mouth going dry.
I wanted…to get out of bed and walk over to him, lick those stray drops of water. Then, I wanted to turn him around, pushing on the bed and climb on top of him and ride him. My breathing started coming back faster as I imagined going through the motions. I squeezed my thighs together as the throbbing between my thighs got unbearable.
“Brooklyn?”
I blinked, coming back to myself, and saw Abe’s innocent expression. In the next second, it felt like my whole face was burning.
“Excuse me!”
I jumped out of the bed and ran over to the bathroom without looking at him again. Fuck his innocent expression, I just knew he’d done it deliberately.
“I’ll wait for you so we can go have breakfast together!” he called to me through the bathroom door, and he sounded too happy.
Groaning to myself, I stripped down and jumped into the shower. As I turned the tap on, hot water poured out because he’d only just left. With those thoughts in my mind, I showered as quickly as possible, ignoring the desire running through my body, trying to push it back. When I was done with the shower, I toweled myself dry then stepped back into my sleeping clothes. I walked back into the room, relieved to see Abe still in the middle of dressing, but with pants and a shirt on. I went to my suitcase, picked out some clothes, and went into the bathroom to get dressed up.
Minutes later I walked back into the bedroom. Abe was dressed the most casual I’d seen him since I met him in New York, in a white button down shirt with no tie and the first two buttons undone a dark, sports coat and matching slacks.
I had a simple black dress with lace sleeves and lace running around my shoulders, with a space between the lace and the fabric that showed off just a bit of cleavage. It clung to my curves and fell to slightly above my knees. We both stood for a long moment just staring at each other.
Abe came to himself first, clearing his throat.
“We’re going to be late,” he said, his voice low and a little husky. “Let’s go.”
He held his hand out for me, and I hesitated to take it. I didn’t go to him first, instead, I went to pick up my purse. It was a small clutch that held some make up, some cash, my cards and my cell. When I looked up at him again, he still had his hand held out. I breathed in deeply and took his hand.
First, we went to the inn’s restaurant. It was small and homey, and all the food smelled amazing. After we ate quickly, we left. As he’d said, there was a car waiting for us, and he got the key for it from the reception. I rode shotgun and applied my make-up as he drove.
When we arrived at the venue, I forgot all about that morning. Abe had his arm wrapped around me from the moment we stepped out of the car, but I didn’t care. The view really was beautiful, and how could I feel discontent when there was so much to look at?
The event was bigger than I’d thought it would be. There were a lot of cars parked around, and as we walked into the decorated garden, there were quite a lot of people spread over the grounds.
“You didn’t tell me it was anything this big,” I muttered to Abe.
He chuckled. “If I told you so many people were going to be here, would you have come? Besides, didn’t you always love big parties?”
I did, actually, but looking around, I wasn’t sure I would enjoy this crowd. There were people dressed more casual than Abe, but some had gone dressier. I saw a woman walk past us in a maxi dress with gold and diamonds all over her, her dress, her ears and neck, wrists and fingers. The man beside her had on a full tuxedo, and I blinked at them as they disappeared in the crowd.
“Come on, let’s move to some place less crowded.”
I went with Abe obediently, feeling his arm tighten around me, but I didn’t complain or push him away. I suddenly felt like it would be too awkward if I wasn’t plastered to his side. Worse than not knowing anyone, I wondered if there was anyone in the same class bracket as me.
