A Dangerous Affair

A Dangerous Affair Chapter 76

They caught a taxi and throughout most of the journey Stephanie took small swigs out of the whiskey bottle she’d taken out of Tom’s hand. She was on a roll and determinedly unstoppable. Tom joined her but his bottle was the one which Bob had unsuccessfully managed to fill and he soon ran out of whiskey. He was actually quite relieved; he was finding it near on impossible to keep up with her!

Once in his flat Stephanie fell down on his sofa and lay across it, staring up at the ceiling. Tom looked at her and wondered what was going to happen that night. He was torn. On the one hand he very much liked the idea of picking up where they left off in Brick’s office but on the other he reluctantly realised that it wasn’t the best time and he probably wasn’t going to stand a chance of anything happening between them in the state she was in that night anyway. How wrong could he have been?

Moving her legs to one side, he took a seat on the sofa with her. She turned herself around and put her head on his lap, looking up at him.

“Are you going to have your wicked way with me tonight then Tom?” she asked, reaching up and fiddling with his top button.

He looked shocked and wasn’t sure how to answer. “Err, you want to get frisky?” he asked with surprise.

“Yes,” she said, jumping up and kneeling on the sofa next to him, “Let’s get frisky.” She went for his shirt buttons but he grabbed her hands.

“Wait! Something isn’t right.”

She frowned. “What?”

“You never want to get frisky.”

She grinned. “I got frisky tonight in the office, remember?”

He grinned back. “Oh yeah, I remember.” She reached for his shirt again but he blocked her. “But that was different.”

“Why?” she asked.

“Because we were angry and I caught you off guard.”

“So catch me off guard again,” she suggested. He just stared at her, not knowing what to do for the best. “Or I could catch you off guard,” she said, swinging her leg over his lap suddenly and sitting astride him.

“Woa!!!” he exclaimed, moving back from her with a shocked expression. “Stay back tiger or I’ll not be responsible for my actions!”

“Tell you what, I’ll be responsible for them then,” she said, unbuttoning his shirt.

“Oooh, you minx, but no, we can’t,” he insisted, catching her hands after the forth button.

“Ahh, why not?”

He was actually finding it difficult to come up with a reason himself why he couldn’t take to bed the woman that he’d wanted so desperately in his bed for what seemed like an eternity. He tired to clear his head and not think about the feel of her legs around him.

“Because you’re very drunk and I’m pretty drunk and I’m not dealing with you in the morning when you’re hungover and regretting everything!”

She dismissed his comment. “Don’t think about that, let’s just do it.”

“Are you crazy? Why do you want to just do it?”

She jumped up and down on his lap impatiently. “Because I’m in the mood now so now would be a good time.”

“Will you stop doing that, you’re turning me on,” he said, trying to stop her from bouncing.

“Good.” She jumped up and down more.

He grabbed her firmly by the arms. “Stephie, listen to me. Look at me...straight in the eyes.”
