“All of Carly’s other dates had sucked, I don’t know why Sarah thought this one would work,” Mitch said. “When are you going to tell Carly you’ve been in love with her forever, that you follow her home every night, you own the building where she sleeps? You’re the real boss of where she works, and that you’ve been keeping an eye on her for forever?”
Nate didn’t say a word. He didn’t need to.
“Ah, so you’re not going to tell her anything.”
“I’ll tell Carly what she needs to know.”
“And what about Sarah overhearing you and Carly, and pregnancy?”
Now this did draw his attention. He didn’t know why he was surprised. Sarah always butted in where she wasn’t supposed to.
Mitch chuckled. “Yeah, we all know you and Carly are technically together. I just have to wonder if Carly knows that as well.”
“She will,” Nate said.
“Do you think you’re ready to become a dad?” Mitch asked.
“Fuck, no, but if Carly wants to have kids, then I can’t let anyone else give them to her.” Nate would be the best father, but he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t a little worried.
“You’re going to be a good dad,” Mitch said.
“You don’t know that.”
“I do. Carly wouldn’t allow you to be anything but the best.” Mitch smiled. “Don’t ruin this.”
Nate glared at him. “Friends or not, I am your boss, and I can still kick your ass.”
“True, but then, you know I’m speaking from a place of love. I don’t want to see you or Carly get hurt, and trust me, I know we do stupid things when we panic.” Mitch opened the door, and left.
Nate didn’t call him back.
Minutes later, Carly walked out of the bar and Mitch was nowhere in sight. He flashed his car lights so she would see him, and she ran across the road and rounded the car to get in.
“Evening,” she said.
Nate grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her in close. She let out a gasp, and then he took full advantage by slamming his lips down on hers. Carly immediately relented and began to kiss him back. He’d not kissed or breathed her in for a couple of hours and already that felt like too long of a gap.
“I’m taking you back to my place.”
Turning over the ignition, he started up his car and the beauty purred to life. He loved the sound. Nate didn’t have a lot of patience, so he pressed his foot to the gas and took off. The drive home took twenty minutes, and he might not have been going the speed limit.
Carly laughed as he chased her up to his door, and then he pressed her against the hard wood.
“I’m guessing you have something dirty on your mind,” she said.
“I might have.”
She took the key from him, and he tried to be patient but couldn’t. It had felt like a lifetime of wanting this woman, never allowed to have her, and now he could. He didn’t need to find an excuse to touch her, to explore her body. He could take and enjoy to his heart’s content.
Running his hands down her curves, he gripped her hips and drew her back against his pelvis, just as the door opened. He stepped inside, taking her along with him, and then he slammed the door closed, flicked the locks into place, and then pressed her up against the door.
He didn’t feel too patient. There was no way they were going to make it to a bed.
Taking possession of her lips, he tugged at her shirt. At the same time he was stripping her naked, Carly attacked his clothes, trying to tear them off his body. He didn’t even try to help her.
The buttons of her top sprayed across his hallway, but he didn’t care. There would be time to clean it up later. Carly got his jacket and shirt off, but he was already at her pants, unbuttoning them and dragging down the zipper.
The panties were easy to take off because all he had to do was give them a little tug. The fabric gave way, and then he had her pretty pussy.
