All around us, the air hums with electricity, the quietness of the night broken by our low moans and deep breaths. Still holding her hair in one hand, I slide my other around her waist, pulling her closer so her body now lies flush against mine, my leg slipping between hers.
She groans in response, pressing closer as her nails dig into my skin.
“God, fuck I want you, Lu,” I whisper, my mouth at her jaw, her ear, her neck, kissing and nipping at her skin.
“Jack,” she breathes out, finding my mouth again.
My hand at her back grabs at her dress, pulling the material higher. Just as I’m about to suggest we go inside, the moment is shattered by the sound of her phone ringing.
“Shit,” she mutters, her mouth leaving mine as she turns to glare at her phone. She slips a hand from my t-shirt, silencing the noise before turning back to me, a small smile tugging at her mouth as she lowers it back to mine.
Her phone rings out again, the loud noise killing the moment.
“Sounds like someone’s trying to get hold of you,” I say, my fingers loosening against her dress.
“Sorry,” she says, sliding off me. “Let me just see who it is.”
She reaches for her phone, lying on her stomach. I roll onto my side, prop myself up on an elbow beside her.
“Hello?” she says.
Someone speaks, but the words aren’t loud enough for me to make out. I feel Lu’s body stiffen beside me, a strange look on her face as she looks up at me.
“Shit, okay, thanks, I’m on my way,” she says before hanging up the call.
“What’s wrong, is everything okay?”
Lu shakes her head, standing now as she brushes her hands down the front of her dress, not looking at me.
“Lu, what is it?”
She exhales hard, finally lifting her eyes to mine. “One of the security alarms is going off,” she says. “It’s coming from the offices. I need to go check it out.”
I nod, standing. “I’ll come with you.”
She shakes her head. “It’s okay, Jack,” she says. “I’ll…”
“Lu,” I say, reaching for her hand and squeezing it. “I’ll come with you.”
Chapter Fourteen
Lauren
My hand is still in Jack’s when I reach my office, the sound of the alarm blaring through the quiet of the night, and this is one of those times that I’m grateful no one lives nearby. The sound is practically deafening and we haven’t even entered the building.
The keys are in my hand and before I can slip the key into the lock, Jack reaches for them.
“I’ll do it,” he says, his tone firm and I smile a little at his sudden need to protect me.
“The alarm goes off from time to time,” I respond, shaking my head and attempting to sound unconcerned, but that doesn’t mean my heart isn’t hammering against my chest like a jackhammer.
It has nothing to do with the alarm and everything to do with Jack and his words and his lips and his hot body and this insane desire to hop in the sack with him.
“I don’t want you going in there on your own.”
I’m about to roll my eyes, but I catch myself. It’s been a long time since I’ve had someone worry about me, and I realize I shouldn’t dismiss it.
“Thanks, Jack,” I say, but my sentiment is lost in the sound of the alarm as he opens the door.
