Page 7 of Attraction

As she looks up, she sees both Digby and Darius standing in the doorway staring into the bedroom, mouths wide open. Darius is almost at a loss for words, but he manages to mutter, “what the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

“I told you, I’m staying here tonight.”

Bewildered, he looks at Digby for answers. He needn’t bother, Digby’s not capable of any serious thinking, right now his brain is concentrated on Kat’s black lace bra. His thoughts run to his groin and lust forces blood down, stiffening his dick. The sight of her ample breasts spilling out over the cups of the floral trimmed lingerie gets him hard as a rock. He growls from deep inside his chest.

“Hey, you know, maybe we shouldn’t be too rash…” Digby says. “About letting her stay? What I mean is one night’s not gonna hurt… right?” His eyes fixate on her washboard stomach, the curve of her waist, and those breasts. She’s so sexy and the tension between them is sending his dick into complete overdrive.

Darius gives him a side-eye. “For fuck’s sake Digby!” he groans. “Oh fine… Have it your way, but don’t come to me when you can’t get rid of her.”

“I’m not sayin’ she has to stay permanently, but maybe just for tonight? Oh, c’mon Darius, you know what I mean?” He hushes his voice. “Look at her man, she’s freakin’ hot, you gotta gimme one night.” He doesn’t even try to hide his growing bulge, now holding up his still-unzipped pants. Darius can almost hear the purr in Digby’s voice.

“You know, one day you might just think with your head instead of your dick. Oh… do what you want, I’m going. I have better things to do than involve myself in your sex life.” Darius stares at Kat, and she can tell that he’s furious. “You… Don’t get too fuckin’ comfortable, this doesn’t mean shit! Understand… by the end of the week, youwillbe gone. Oh, and your novelty value with him, that’ll wear off by morning.”

She rolls her eyes, shakes her head, and angrily calls back at him. “You know … you might do well to give me a chance.” Her words make him stop. “I know your team can’t get back in the field, not without a medic, and I also know you haven’t been able to keep any of the ones you’ve had. But that could change if you would just give me a chance. I could show you what a damn-good medic I am.”

Darius turns around, staring at her, smiling with scorn. “Oh, you’re so full of yourself but see I don’t dogood—only the best. And you… you’re notthebest.So don’t bother unpacking that bag. I’m telling you, you won’t be staying.”

She glares at him and picks up her duffel. She flips it and empties the entire contents onto the bed. “Oops! Looks like I’m already unpacked!”

“Okay…” He grins, a smirk filling his smug face. “Have it your way, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

As Darius leaves Digby can’t help but laugh. He finds the sparring between the pair amusing to watch. “Fuck lady, you sure as hell have some kahunas, I’ll give you that.” He smiles. “C’mon… I’ll show you the bathroom.”

Kat takes a deep breath. Unsure where her sudden defiant streak came from she picks up her wash bag and underwear and follows Digby to the bathroom.

With his hand holding the top edge of the door, she ducks below his arm and enters.

“Whoa…!” she’s surprised by how clean it is. It’s pristine and for the type of guy she considers Digby to be. This looks nothing like the bathroom she’d imagined. “Thanks. You know, I appreciate this… I mean, you letting me stay.”

“It’s fine, but it’s just for tonight. If nothin’ else, it was worth the entertainment of watching you piss Darius off,” he says. “Do you even know how mad he is with you right now?” Folding his arms, he stares at her from the doorway. “So, you need a hand with anythin’?”

“No, I’m fine. I can manage by myself, thanks.” She hesitates, waiting to undress as he still waivers in the doorway.

He doesn’t want to leave. There’s something about her, her breasts, yeah, but also the rest of her, which compels him to keep his eyes glued to her. “The shower is just there.”

“Yeah, I can see that,” she says. “Well, I guess I should take that shower then?” She waits for him to get the hint that she wants him to leave.

“You want’ me to stay? I mean, I could give you a hand, wash your back for you?” he teases.

“Um, no…” She laughs at the cheekiness of his response but she’s tempted. “No, I can manage on my own, but thanks for the offer,” she says, a bright glint in her eyes as she bites her lip, flirting with him.

“You sure?” He playfully tips his head, and he can see she’s contemplating the offer.Oh yeah, she’s tempted.He smiles. “Well, as I said, I’m just outside if you change your mind. Oh, and you know… there’s no need to be shy around me. What I mean is if we’re gonna be on the same team, on operations together you’ll get no privacy. So please, don’t be embarrassed about gettin’ naked—whenever you want.”

“Okay… well, I’ll bear it in mind,” she says, blushing. “I mean, about getting naked.”

He nods, slowly backing out of the room. Watching as he closes the door, something inside her is tempted to call him back and take up his offer. But that would be foolish.

That wouldn’t end well.

Chapter 4

Naked, except for a small pair of black panties, she leans against the basin staring at herself in the mirror. Then taking an elastic tie, she pulls her hair up and ties it in a loose bun on top of her head.

“What the hell!” she frowns, turning quickly to see the bathroom door open again and Digby standing there staring at her.

He’s speechless as his eyes focus on Kat’s naked body. “Oh, um … I was hungry. So, I’m gonna make some pasta. Would you like some?” He can’t take his eyes off her and as his thoughts vacate his head, they once again move to his groin.
