Loaded down with a couple of cases of beer, I head back out front.
“Kansas City?There’s a huge music festival there in the summer, right?”Gracyn’s eyes are wide as she leans across Lis toward Addie.
“Yeah.The lineup is pretty amazing every year, but I think this year will be unreal.Did you know Lightning Strikes is from there?And so is Of the Room; I think they might be headlining.”
Gracyn sits back in her seat, gnawing at her lip.She had a fling over her spring break last year with some guy in a band.I don’t know details, it had a lasting effect on her, and not in a good way.
Kieran finally strolls through the door, tapping at his phone.
“Nice of you to grace us with your presence.”
He nods his head, blond curls bouncing, not looking up from the screen, and mumbles, “Right,” as he passes through to the kitchen.
“It’s safe to leave him?”I look to Lis.“Does he even have a clue as to what he’s doing?”
“That’s part of why we’re hanging out here.Francie asked us to ‘check up on him,’” she whispers with air quotes in full effect.
“Jimmy trained him up, so…” I shrug.“When didIbecome the responsible one round here?Ladies, you’re all right if we go then?”
Lis waves us off while Gracyn stares off into space, still lost in her thoughts.
“Adelaide, it was really nice to meet you finally.”Lis smiles warmly.
“You, too.”Addie waves as we push through the door.

“That was amazing.I kind of like your taste in music,” Addie says as we leave the venue.
The show was fantastic.The lyrics raw, the bass and drums heavy, like I prefer.And the swaying hips of the gorgeous green-haired girl nearly killed me.More than once, I had to recite the rosary in Gaelic to keep from embarrassing myself.
“It was.”I run a hand down the ocean that’s her hair, my fingers lost in the waves.“Do you need to get home to Eric straightaway?”I open the car door for her, praying for her answer to be no.
Spinning so that she’s facing me, wedged in the space between my body and the door, Addie runs her hands down my chest, curling her fingers around my belt.“Nope.He should be good for a while.Solid sleep when he’s been properly exhausted.”
Her breath is warm, and her lips are soft as I get the response I wanted, followed by a kiss to the hollow of my throat.She’s gone far too quickly as she tucks herself into the car and winks at me.
I run around the back of the car, promising my cock the wait is done if all goes well.And, as short as the drive is back to my flat, it’s considerably too long.The engine revs, and I jerk the stick shift from one gear to the next, abusing the transmission in a way I normally wouldn’t.
Practically skidding into my parking space, I lean over, roughly kissing Addie before jumping from the car.
She meets me round the back and pushes me against the boot, pressing her little body into mine.“I really liked that band.They were…sexy, sultry.”Her hands roam while mine pull her closer still.
I shove off the car, guiding her up the stairs to my door.“Keys are in my pocket,” I mumble against the shell of her ear.Now that I’ve got her, I don’t want to stop touching her for even a moment.
Her hands go to my jacket, finding them empty before sliding round to my arse and squeezing.
“Only one other place they could be.”I think I’m being cheeky, but when she reaches in and slides her hand against the line of my cock, I suck a breath in through my teeth.“Déan deifir.They’re right there.”I resist the urge to grind my cock against her, knowing that’s not going to get the keys in her hand any faster.
“What?”she gasps.
“Hurry up, love.We need to get this inside.”
“Yeah, we do.”
Keys finally in hand, I fumble with the lock, desperate to get inside.
We tumble through the door, grasping, kissing, nipping at one another.Lips and hands everywhere.Pushing and pulling at the layers of clothing separating us.
