Chapter 47

I spent the following work day, unable to get last night out of my head. It wasn't something that I was used to at all. I'd kind of expected that after we'd slept together, the craziness in my head might have eased off a little. Instead, it seemed worse. Everywhere I went, I could smell her perfume, I could feel the warmth of her body, it was like I was caught in a replaying loop all afternoon.

"Hey!"

I jumped a little at the abrupt shout, and sat upright, looking towards the door to my office, where Jamie stood, arms crossed and looking torn between curiosity and annoyance.

"Sorry, what?" I asked, clearing my throat and picking up my phone to check the message that was flashing up on the screen.

I scanned the short text from the contractor on one of the sites, whilst Jamie moved inside the office.

"What's got you so distracted?"

He dropped into the seat opposite me, leaning back and crossing his right leg over his left, glaring at me. It was as though his eyes were boring into my skull. I tried not to think of Kat, for some reason, fearing that he could read my thoughts. The more I tried not to think of her though, the harder it became. Suddenly visions of her smile, her laugh, her in that sexy lingerie... I felt my cock twitch at the memory.

Fuck! Control yourself. Think of something else. Anything else! You're at work, you can't do this at work. That's it, work....

I tried to envision as many different, boring and plain parts of work life as I could.

Building sites... schematics... materia- SHIT!!! Not working. Something else. Let's try weird, the woman with the stuffed toys! Nope, she was hot without the rabbit. The woman with the, no, she did that thing with her little finger. Okay, creepy!... creeepy... DOLLS! Yes, dolls... their freaky little faces, and weird hair... yep, it's working... The room full of dolls... Okay, there's a chance I may never get hard again now.

"EVAN!"

"Yep?" I replied quickly snapping to attention.

"What the fuck is going on with you?"

"Dolls." I replied before I could think it through.

Jamie looked at me, confusion evident on his face.

Well done dumbass. You'll be back in hospital for suspected brain damage if you keep this up.

"Dolls?"

Think quickly!

"Yeah, was just thinking about them." I shrugged.

"You hate dolls, they creep you the fuck out." Jamie retorted, now even more suspicious.

Think better!

"Yep, erm..." I searched my brain for something more to add, but nothing came to my aide. "I got nothin'" I muttered, pulling my chair closer to my desk and clicking open my emails on the computer.

"Are you still thinking about Kat?"

His question caught me off guard, but at the same time, it was the perfect excuse, and the truth, in a way.

"Yeah."

He nodded and rested his head against his hand.

"Have you thought more about what you wanna do about that?"

I shook my head in response. I didn't want to lie to him. Jamie and Roxy were my best mates. I hated that I couldn't tell Roxy already. We were family, and I couldn't even tell her about the amazing sex at I had with a pretty great woman. One that was able to both, torture me into near insanity, and light up my day it seemed. How the fuck did everything get so complicated? Only a few months back, me and Kat were at each other's throats, like always. Now, I can't wait to kiss her again. It was so new, and so strange to me, I recalled Jamie saying that everyone else could see it, but how was it that we missed it, until now.

"Anyway, what did you need?" I asked, remembering that before all this, Jamie had come here to discuss something.

"Oh yeah. The report on the site safety from the day of your accident, needs to be filed today. I need you to sign off on the incident report and the findings from the building evaluation."

"Sure, I can get it to you before I leave."

"Perfect. Cheers." Jamie smiled, getting back to his feet and making his way to the door.

"Oh, are you coming to Rox's tonight?"

"Of course, wouldn't miss it." He smirked, leaving the office and heading back down the hall.

Later that evening, I arrived at Roxy and Sean's. They were holding a small get-together for Sean's birthday. Nothing too big as it was a working night, but just something to celebrate with close friends and family. A nice meal and some drinks. I knew Kat was going to be inside as I let myself inside. I felt both excited and a little nervous about seeing her again. I wasn't a fan of those mixed emotions. It was ridiculous how one person can make you feel things that are so unlike yourself.

As I closed the front door behind me, I heard laughter and talking coming from the living room.

"Ev? Is that you?" Roxy called from somewhere further inside.

"Nope, it's Santa." I replied sarcastically, walking towards the source of the noise.

Roxy appeared in the doorway to the living room as I approached, she looked beautiful in a strapless, navy blue cocktail dress and black peep-toe high heels. Her long hair as straightened, styled with the top clipped up, before falling down her back, pretty, crystal drop earrings hung from her ears, sparkling in the light from the hallway. Her face scrunched as she looked me over, then put her hand on her hip, crossing one of her legs behind the other.

"You're a bad fucking Santa." She looked at me expectantly, "Where is the bulging sack?"

I smirked at her, eyebrows raised.

"Well, I do have on-"

"Of presents Ev." She finished, cutting me off.

"Ha! Like your ass is on the nice list." I laughed, stepping closer.

She reached out, pulling me into a hug and kissing my cheek.

"I'm always on the nice list."

"You're always on my nice list." I whispered back, holding her tightly and kissing the top of her head.

"Hey Ev, thanks for coming." Sean greeted me with a smile as he appeared behind Roxy.

I nodded to him as mine and Roxy's grip on one another loosened, and she stepped back into his arms.

"Of course, happy birthday mate."

I held out my hand, shaking his and then lifted the gift bag that I was holding, handing it over. He thanked me as he took it, then both turned, leading me into the living room.

Sean's parents were sitting on the sofa, Everly was being bounced lightly in Isabella's arms whilst Julian wiggled a stuffed, white teddy bear in front of her. A couple of men I didn't know where now chatting with Sean on the other side of the room. I figured they were some of his friends, and acknowledged them with a small smile, my attention caught instead, by the beauty in black. Her wavy, dark hair was swept over her shoulder, exposing one side of her neck. The fitted, one shoulder black cocktail dress she wore, hugged her body, allowing my gaze to drift over the perfect curves that I knew lurked beneath. It was a short dress, cutting off half way up her thighs, the way that she sat, perched on the arm of a sofa, one leg over the other, meant that it curved back so far that it almost exposed the underside of her ass. Her eyes found mine and I watched her looking me over from head to toe. I saw her pull her bottom lip between her teeth as she smiled slightly, noticing the way her thighs seemed to clench suddenly as she shuffled and pressed her hands into her lap. Before we could exchange any words, Roxy announced that dinner was ready, shuffling us all off to the dining room. As it turned out, Kat and me were seated opposite each other, leading to the entire dinner being spent exchanging heated looks, and small knowing smiles. At one point I felt her slide her leg between both of mine. I watched the mischief in her eyes as she then proceeded to glide her foot up the inside of my calf. The feeling of her high heel brushing against me as she stared straight into my eyes, surrounded by our friends and her entire family, was more arousing than I was comfortable with at that moment. I felt a bulge beginning to develop inside my pants as she neared my thighs. She was playing a dangerous game. My desire to grab her and fuck her was building, something which I was sure she knew very well. Deciding to teach her a little lesson, I reached under the table, capturing her ankle and sliding off her shoe. I dropped it to the floor, letting it fall on my feet so it didn't clatter. I placed one hand back on the table, and ran my fingers gently over the top of her foot, then around her ankle, and along the underside, resulting in just what I wanted, as she squirmed at the tickle of my touch. I capitalized on her weakness, tugging her a little closer, causing her to drop slightly in her chair. I pulled her foot up further, letting it brush against my budding erection. I watched her eyes widen, and her lips part a little as I proceeded to rub the sole of her foot against me. The friction was arousing me even more, but I could see it was having the same effect on her. She wriggled slightly, her breath coming in shallow pants through the small space between her lips.

"Everything okay there Kat, darling?" Isabella asked softly from a few seats down.

I nearly burst out laughing as she tried to cover her momentary awkwardness. I smirked widely, taking a small sip of wine.

"Yeah, fine mom." She replied, turning a little red.

"Evan, you're not winding her up over there are you?" Roxy asked, pouring some more wine for herself.

I am, but not how you think.

I saw Jamie look at me, something in his eyes made me curious as to if he'd guessed what was going on. But I didn't break.

"Not at all, right Kit Kat?" I teased.

The fire inside her seemed to ignite in her eyes. The warm brown of them flashed dangerously, I knew she was fighting to keep control as I continued to tease her under the table.

"Not at all. I just accidentally knocked my shoe off." She said smiling.

"Can you reach it for her Evan?" Roxy asked.

"Oh, no, it's okay, I can get it." Kat insisted, pulling her foot from my grasp and dropping to her knees, then ducking under the table cloth.

I was about to take another sip of wine as I felt a gentle touch against my legs, followed by a firm rub over my hardening cock.

Fuck!

I coughed in surprise, unwittingly drawing attention from everyone there.

"All good Ev?" Sean asked.

I felt Kat teasing me with her hand, slow, firm rubs over me, then getting faster as I struggled to remain still under everyone's gaze.

Yep, fucking perfect. Your sister is practically jerking me off while you're staring at me and her parents are a few seats away. What's not good about this scenario?

I cleared my throat again, pasting a smile on my face as Kat slipped a hand higher between my legs, making my cock throb with need.

"Yep, fine, just a tickle in my throat."

He looked unconvinced, but then went back to talking to Roxy.

"How's the hunt for your shoe going on under there Kat?" Jamie asked smugly, lifting a glass to his lips and smirking at me.

"Got it, thanks." Kat called out, giving me one last squeeze before releasing me, crawling out and rising back to her feet then taking her seat.

The innocent smile on her face was priceless, Jamie looked between us and chuckled softly. I didn't even care if he knew at that point, I just wanted to get Kat alone.

As dinner ended and everyone went about helping themselves to drinks, and moving back to the living room, I pretended to have to make a call and left the table. Unable to wait any longer, I lurked in the bathroom at the end of the hall and waited until I saw Kat coming my way, as soon as she was in line with me, I reached out and grabbed her, pulling her inside and pinning her to the door, my lips crashing down on her before she even had a chance to speak.
