“I’ll make sure she gets home safely,” I said. “Goodnight, ladies. Those are some great friends you have there.”
“Yeah. They’re the best. How about another shot of tequila?”
“Are you sure?” I asked.
“Yep. One hundred percent.” A beautiful grin crossed her face.
I poured us another shot. That last one did me in. I couldn’t remember the last time I was this drunk.
I gripped Marley’s hips and lifted her up on the island. Her legs wrapped around my waist.
“The things I want to do to you,” I said, staring into her eyes.
“The things I want you to do to me.” She drunkenly smiled.
I couldn’t resist her anymore. Smashing my mouth into hers, our kiss was wild. My hand traveled up her dress until my fingers reached the edge of her panties.
“Fuck,” I moaned, dipping a finger inside.
“Bed. Bed. I need to lay down,” she said.
I lifted her from the island, carried her to my bedroom, and lay her down.

Opening my eyes, everything was blurry, and my head was pounding out of control. Glancing over, I saw him lying there, on his stomach, with his muscular back exposed and the sheet covering half of his perfect ass.
“Oh, fuck!” I quickly sat up and covered myself with the sheet.
Charlie moaned, rolling over and opening his eyes.
“Good morning.”
“Did we?” I stared at him, but I already knew the answer.
“Multiple times.” A sly grin crossed his lips.
I glanced at the clock, and it was eleven-thirty. “Oh shit!” I jumped out of bed.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s eleven thirty. I have to go.” I grabbed my panties from the floor.
“Why?” Charlie asked.
“I have a lot of things to do today. Oh my God. I can’t believe I slept this late.” I grabbed my dress and slipped it on.
“Marley—”
“Don’t.” I pointed at him. “Don’t make this weird, Charlie.”
He chuckled.
“What is so funny?” I asked, running into the bathroom to check out how much of a disaster I looked like. I grabbed his hairbrush from the counter and ran it through my hair.
“The fact that you remembered my name.”
“You’re a jerk.” I pointed at him as he lay there smiling.
