Rounding the island to search the fridge, I’m nearly there when all of a sudden, there’s a body standing up from a crouch and crashing right into me.
“Oof!”
Clara stands up straighter, and when I can finally look at her after catching my balance, I notice we’re sporting the same outfits.
“Well, hello there,” I smirk down at her. “I can’t believe you wore the same thing as me to this party. Rude.”
She looks up at me in shock, her eyebrows at her hairline as she clutches the towel wrapped around her chest.
I can already see the pink rising in her cheeks, and despite the shower, my dick jerks slightly.
“I just…I wanted a drink.” Clara’s eyes flick between my chest and the floor. “You don’t…um…”
Cocking a brow, I can’t stop myself from leaning just a hair closer, gripping the towel at my hip and hooking my thumb underneath the fabric.
“Don’t have what, doc?”
She stares up at me, her mouth slightly parted, and I watch the way her chest rises and falls somewhat quickly as she breathes.
“I didn’t want, um, alcohol. I was looking for, like, a seltzer water or soda or something.”
Clara isn’t wrong. I don’t have much in the house by way of nonalcoholic beverages.
In truth, I haven’t done much shopping in a while, usually just eating at the office or out and about.
And alcohol is basically the only thing I know I have to have.
“Ahh, right. Okay, well.” I lean over Clara, reaching for the fridge and cracking it open to reveal a bunch of nothing. “How about I order us some food and drinks?”
“Uh.” She swallows noticeably hard as she nods her head lightly. “Sure, but I do need to um…”
Raking my eyes over her body, I grin at her.
“Go get changed?”
Clara nods more vigorously, holding her towel tighter to her chest. “And I have some case reports I want to look at, too, so you know, don’t worry about entertaining me or whatnot.”
“But I was going to break out Parcheesi and tell my best jokes.”
She actually laughs at that one, lowering her face as she chuckles. When she looks up at me again, our eyes locking, I don’t want to let her leave.
I don’t want to let her get dressed.
Lewd images of tearing that damn towel off her and bending her over the island bloom in my mind.
I have to force myself to breathe evenly, straining against the molten lust that’s bubbling through my veins.
Gripping the towel so hard my hand aches, it takes everything inside me to step back and let her have some room.
She’s trying really hard here, Luke. Don’t be a dick.
“But of course, doc. Do your studying thing or whatever, and I’ll order up. When it’s here, I’ll just knock. Deal?”
Smiling, she nods at me, but I notice her stare sweeping down to my lips and then lower before Clara snaps herself back into order.
Oh God, please, Clara. Decide you want a different snack, and I’ll give it to you every which way from here to fucking Tuesday.
Clara clears her throat. “Uh, yes. Deal. Thank you, Luke. I really do appreciate all your help. And I swear, I’ll pay you back.”
