Asa nods, “Perfect. But can you take off those shorts and do the rest of your cleaning in a thong? Then I can think about it until you arrive.”
He undoes the top button of my shorts.
I am indeed wearing a thong.
“Oof! Very, very nice. See you soon sweetheart, hopefully all of you.”
I watch him leave, my heart pounding and my body throbs.
Oh boys.
I could get hooked?
Who am I kidding, I’ve already swallowed their bait and am ready to be reeled in.
HUGO
Harmony turns up at the studio at 3pm.
She’s brought a rhyming dictionary, and a thesaurus, and smells of vanilla body wash. Asa circles his arms around her. She laughs and stands on her tiptoes to kiss him. He goes in for more, but she pushes him away.
“Now, now. We are here to work, and it’s totally unfair on Hugo to subject him to our make-outs.”
I turn my back and plug cables into various sockets. As I’m working, I hear Asa, Lennox and Harmony, laughing and flirting. I ram a quarter inch jack more firmly into its plug.
Do not get tangled up in all this, I tell myself (and my dick). Let them have her.
Trying to be all business, I turn to face them.
“So, if you are quite ready? This morning we worked on mayfly, and then the summer meadow song. We’ll play those for you again, and you can let us know where you are with lyrics, sound good?” I say.
“One hundred percent,” she replies, shooing my brothers off her. She picks up a notebook and pen, then looks at me. Her face is relaxed, happy. Really different from how she was just a week ago. She can’t be as sweet as she seems.
And she seems so sweet. Deliciously sweet. Does she taste as good as she looks?
Harmony gives a salute, “Ready when you are, captain,” she says, smiling and making heart flutter.
I feel my resolution to not get involved crumbling. And when she called me ‘captain’?
Fuck.
My dick twitched big time. I want to be her captain alright.
She can be my little cabin-boy.
“Back in a minute,” I tell the room. I need a moment to calm down and this semi die down.
“Hugo? OK?” Asa looks concerned. Asa always notices more than Lennox. I give him a brisk nod.
I move into the dark engineers booth and take a few deep breaths.
Fuck.
Fuck, fuck, fuckity, fuck.
I like her too. Like, really like her.
How the hell has this happened? I told myself that after Brookes, I would never go down this road again. Screw around, sure. But feelings?
