Without You

chapter twenty two

CALISTA

I WANT fun. That's all I'm looking for tonight and it's probably gonna come from me teasing Zane as much as possible.

I wait until we've all had a good amount of drinks and while Morgan and Mikey are wrapped up in their own conversation I take the chance.

"How's work?" I ask Zane as my fingers absentmindedly trace the veins on his forearm.

His comforting brown eyes flick to mine, "Good."

"Yeah? That's good." I say almost to myself as I cross my legs, dragging my heel purposefully by his leg.

Unfortunetly for me, I forgot who I was messing with. My eyes widen when Zane's warm hand comes to rest very high up on my exposed thigh.

"Nice try sweetheart. You're cute." He mutters in my ear and I burn red.

It's then that Morgan and Mikey's conversation conveniently ends and the attention is turned on me. Morgan asks me a question but I'm too distracted by Zane's thumb rubbing back and forth to focus. It's not until he squeezes my thigh that I look up from the table.

"Uh, just get me whatever." I can see Zane smiling out of the corner of my eye.

Morgan eyes me skeptically before getting up to go get the drinks and Mikey follows shortly after.

As soon as they are out of sight I feel Zane tuck a piece of hair behind my ear.

Birthday sex?

His hand gently strokes the side of my exposed neck making me shiver and bite down on my bottom lip. Why is this turning me on so badly? I shift my legs at the feeling and Zane pauses making me look over. Oh God why is he so good looking?

"You okay?" He asks almsot teasingly and I roll my eyes and pout my lips without realising, at the lack of contact.

I nod and he watches me for a moment. "Words?" He asks and I melt into the seat.

"I'm fine." I murmur and Zane looks at me knowingly.

After seemingly forever they return with drinks and I instantly get up to go to the bathroom.

"I'll come with." Zane offers and I look at Morgan for help, attempting to silently communicate hat I'm trying to get away from his teasing before I actually fuck him in front of everyone.

Morgan just sents me a smile so I have no choice but to go with it.

We walk silently to the bathrooms and I end up just staring at myself in the mirror for a solid three minutes trying to chill out. He's barely even doing anything and he's got me in bits.

When I walk back out Zane is stood waiting for me so I walk up to him. Just as I do that loads of people try to get past so Zane pulls me in close to him to let them pass but he doesn't let me go afterwards.

"Zane." I murmur and he looks down at me.

"Yeah?" Just the sound of his voice makes me dizzy.

"Are we going back?" I force out after a few seconds of silence. He turns his head away and clenches his jaw before taking a short breath and looking back at me.

"Yeah."

And with that we separate despite the heavy sexual tension in the air between us and start walking back. We finish off the rest of our drinks without speaking a word to each other and we all decide to go back to Zane's apartment for more drinks.

Morgan walks beside me during our short walk home and instantly starts questioning me. "Did you fuck or what?"

"Morgan!" I gasp.
