Nairie put the phone down and started putting clothes on in a daze. “Twenty missed calls, sixty texts. I’m screwed.”
I got up from the bed and put my boxer briefs back on to calm her down. “Alright, love, it’ll be alright. Just tell them Elspeth needed you at the pub, and you were too tired to go back home.”
“That’s not the only reason why I’m worried.”
She tied her hair in a messy top knot and searched frantically for her shoes. “I kind of made a scene on my date with David.”
I pulled up my slacks and waited for her to continue.
“I sort of threw my drink in his face and said some unfavorable things.”
I held in a laugh through tightened lips.
“William, this is serious. His whole family and myfamily have probably heard about it by now. My parents are going to be pissed. I have to do damage control.”
“Do you regret it?”
Nairie stopped tying her laces and looked back up at me. “No.”
“I’m proud of you.”
She stood up, and I bent down to kiss her and grabbed her lower back, pulling her against my chest. Whatever the prick had said to her on that date, it was a turn-on to know Nairie handled it and stood up to him. The more I saw this side of her, the deeper my affections grew, and I didn’t know what to do with it except kiss her senseless. She gripped my shoulders, stabilizing herself on her toes to reach up to me for our kiss. It was hot, wet, and carnal. But before I could drag her back to bed, someone cleared their throat.
We pulled apart and looked at the doorway to find Elspeth leaning casually against the doorframe with a smug look on her face. “So, this finally happened?”
Nairie looked away, smiling, but quickly gathered her things. “I’ll explain later, but I really have to go.”
“What?!” Elspeth said, outraged.
“I’m sorry, my parents are going to kill me. I’ll text you.”
Nairie hugged her at the doorway and looked back at me.
I beckoned her back with my index finger, and she dutifully complied. “Everything will be okay. They’ll understand why you did what you did. And I’m sure you’ll come up with a convincing lie on why you didn’t come back home on the drive there.”
She was timid about being intimate in front of Elspeth, but she looked into my eyes and nodded. I gaveher a small but passionate peck, then spanked her ass as she hurriedly left.
Elspeth looked at me in disgust.
“Come on, this is what you wanted.” I goaded her.
I picked up the rest of my clothes and went to my room as she followed me.
I grabbed a towel hanging over my door and looked back at her. “It just sort of happened out of nowhere.”
Elspeth snorted. “Please, you think this happened naturally? You think Nairie ended up in your bed that night when she was drunk on her own? And I know all about that dreamy kiss.”
I stopped on my way to the bathroom and turned to face her. She had a devious look on her face as she slowly disappeared down the stairs.
It would have been frightening if I didn’t hear her fall down the last couple of steps.
“You alright?” I laughed.
“Yup! And you’re welcome!”
