‘I’m attracted to you Scarlett, and I’m fairly sure you’re attracted to me.’

And there she goes, nodding again.

Nick smiles and his eyes lighten. The light must be playing tricks on her. ‘I thought so. I guess that leaves us with two choices.’

‘What choices?’

Another step brings him right in front of her. He places a hand to either side of her, pinning her against the counter between his arms and his body. Scarlett keeps her attention on his chest right in front of her. She can’t look at his face. Having him this close to her is intense enough.

‘We can either keep our clothes on, and my hands off you. Continue being polite and seriously frustrated, as we have been, until I can go home. Or, we could forget all that, and you can let me show you how very grateful I am for your hospitality.’

He still hasn’t touched her, but she’s already wet, and the thought of how he could show his gratitude is only making her situation all the more precarious.

‘Are you wet for me, Scarlett? Are you imagining what I can do to you, if you let me?’

She groans, instantly hating herself for being so transparent.

Nick laughs, a deep rumble that hits right between her legs. Her body is doing a great job of screwing her at the moment. It’s too busy thinking about what it would be like, if he screwed her instead.

‘I’ll take that as a yes. Do you want my hands on, or off you Scarlett? You decide. All you need to do is tell me what you want. I promise, if you don’t want this I’ll leave you alone.’

She watches his chest rise and fall as he breathes. She’s not reckless. Never has been. Not until she found Nick outside and took him into her house. Agreeing to do this with him is far beyond anything she’s ever done. It won’t come to anything long term. Nick will leave in a few days.

So what’s the harm in enjoying each other until then? They’re both consenting adults. They wouldn’t be doing anything wrong.

‘On.’

She could swear he holds his breath for a second. ‘Look at me.’

Scarlett looks up at him. Why do his eyes have to be so hypnotic? As soon as she looks into them she could swear she’s floating.

‘I’m going to need a full sentence Scarlett. Tell me what you want?’

‘I want your hands on me.’

He lifts his hand, his strong fingers gripping her jaw firmly, holding her in place as he kisses her.

The first thought that hits her is that this kiss feels the same as the one in the shower. The one she imagined. Which is impossible.

Then his body presses against her and she stops thinking.

‘You didn’t answer my question,’ he says, finally letting her up for air.

‘What question?’

‘Are you wet for me?’

‘Why don’t you check for yourself?’ She has no idea where those words came from, and right now she couldn’t care less. The only thing she wants is Nick and what she knows he can give her.

‘Mmm, definitely on the naughty list.’ The tips of his fingers slide under the waistband of her jeans. His nose traces along the side of her neck, as his fingers glide gently over her pussy, through her panties. He purrs against her neck.

‘Tell me who you’re wet for, Scarlett.’

Instead of answering, she moves slightly, pushing against his hand, but he pulls away.

‘Not until you tell me.’

‘You’re really going to make me say it?’
