"I was never a spy."'
Not technically. I won't even try to explain that to Rebecca since I'm still bound by the Official Secrets Act. To avoid responding to her statement, I switch on the radio and let the music drown out any further questions she might have. No, I am not a coward who refuses to admit he wants the beautiful woman who sits beside him. I'm simply behaving like a gentleman. Aye, that's it.
Mhac na galla.
"What does that mean? Is it Gaelic?"
Had I spoken those words aloud? I'd meant to say it in my mind only. This woman drives me off my head. "Aye, it's Gaelic. The phrase means 'son of a bitch.' "
"Are you cursing at me? Or the road?"
"Neither."
I'd been cursing at myself, but I won't admit to that. So, I crank the volume up on the radio.
Ten minutes later, we pull into the garage of Rebecca's apartment. The bottom level is strictly for parking, while the upper floors are filled up with living quarters. I have never before visited this luxury apartment complex, and I have no idea how luxurious it might actually be. Adverts I've seen depicted it as the height of luxury, but advertisers often lie to make people want what they're offering.
Rebecca would never do that.
When I've pulled into a parking space for guests, I leave the engine running. "Well, good night, Rebecca."
She glances round the gloomy garage. "Would you mind, um, walking with me? The guest parking spots are pretty far away from the elevator."
I cannae say no. Dinnae blame her for being wary of who might lurk in the shadows, though I doubt it's dangerous here. Still, I shut off the engine. "Aye, lass, I'd be happy to accompany you."
Her grateful smile gives me a brief pang in my chest. "Thank you, Thane."
"It's no trouble at all. Stay where you are. I'll come round to your side."
"Sorry Fiona pushed you into giving me a ride."
"Dinnae fash." I suddenly realize she won't know what I said. "That means don't worry."
I unlock the doors and jog around to her side, pulling the door open for her. She gives me that grateful smile again. As we walk side-by-side down the aisle, I click the button on my key fob to lock the car again. Then I place a hand lightly on her lower back. She seems to relax when I do that. By the time we step into the lift, she doesn't seem anxious at all anymore.
She reaches into her purse, bringing out a set of keys. One of the purse's straps falls off her shoulder. In her attempt to return it to its rightful place, she instead accidentally lowers her shoulder, which causes the purse to drop onto the floor. As Rebecca leans over to retrieve the bag, her cheek brushes against my groin. Seemingly oblivious of that fact, she bends over even more, tightening her trousers so that her erse is on full display.
My cock twitches.
The contents of her purse have spilled over the floor. She struggles to gather them up again, but her fingers keep slipping. I suspect she's nervous because we're alone in the lift.
Maybe I should help her. Aye, that seems like a reasonable response.
I kneel beside her---and abruptly realize I've made a terrible mistake. Her blouse has fallen open enough that I can see nearly all of the slopes of her bonnie tits. Her bra only covers one-third of them. I might be known for never revealing my passions, but this woman is testing my willpower. I have only one option to end this torment.
I scoop up all of her belongings and dump them into her purse. Then I rise, offering her the bag.
She stands up and brushes off her trousers. As she accepts the purse, she smiles. "Thank you for the help."
"Your womanly things in there are most likely out of place now."
"That's okay. I'm not very tidy with the stuff in my purse, anyway."
Fortunately, the lift stops, and the doors glide open. We walk out of the lift, brushing past the lasses and gents who were waiting to step inside. I manage to keep an arm's length between myself and Rebecca as we stroll down the hallway to her apartment door.
She unlocks it, then leans against the jamb. "Thank you again for giving me a lift."
"I haven't presented you with your very own lift. Everyone uses it."
