Forever Kind of Guy by Khelsey Jackson Page A

when I’m off in thirty minutes we can…go somewhere quieter?”
    She smiled weakly at him, and nodded. “Sure.”
    He grinned and leaned in to kiss her, his lips roughly seeking hers. She nearly gagged because his lips didn’t taste like the peppermint she was accustomed to, instead they tasted like whisky.
    He pulled away and placed a hand over his heart. “I will see you later , beautiful.” He winked as he stood up. She knew that later would never come for them. She was thankful when Laura came back alone without Stefan. Laura sat on her side and put her arm around Gretchen’s shoulders.
    “I am so sorry . I really didn’t know he would be here.” Gretchen laid her head on her friend’s shoulder. “But damn that DJ is hot, please tell me you at least got his number.”
    She lifted her head and shook it. “No, he isn’t who I want,” she said and her eyes wandered to the man that had been what she’d wanted since Christmas. He was drinking a beer from the bottle and talking to some other men with her standing next to him, a little too close if you asked Gretchen.
    “Fine but I’m staying here, I think you should too,” she said as she moved over to let Gretchen out.
    “I know you meant well, but I just want to think about some things.” She hugged her best friend. “Thank you for not letting me drown ed in my sorrows.”
    As she walked away , she felt eyes on her, but she held her head high and continued to her car. When she pulled into her apartment’s parking lot, she parked and walked toward her apartment.
    All she wanted to do was get inside and be alone. Something nee ded to be done about finding a new place since she’d had an amazing lawyer that got her money that she hadn’t wanted. But now with it, she could afford something better, maybe a little house of her own.
    When she saw Stefan leaning against her door she wasn’t surprised. He looked up at her and she wanted to throw herself into his arms, but she didn’t. She just stopped, standing in the hallway about ten feet from him. Slowly he lifted his head to look at her, he wasn’t smiling he looked broken.
    “I wanted to make sure you made it home okay…since this is a bad neighborhood,” he said but she noticed he had something in his hands.
    “Well I made it in one piece.” She bit her bottom li p as he took a few steps toward her.
    “You did, and you’re alone.” H e took a few more steps, but stopped about two feet in front of her. “I wanted to break the DJ hands when they were on you,” he confessed.
    “Stefan, we can’t do this.” She didn’t think her heart could handle shattering again.
    “Ever since I met you , no else has been worth thinking about. I don’t care if we can’t have children, we can adopt. I just want you in my arms again.”
    Gretchen felt her heart opening for him, because she ’d wanted to hear those words from him. She was the one to close the remaining distance that was between them, she wrapped her arms around his neck and he lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist. His lips slowly came down to hers, and she moaned against his sweet peppermint lips. This was what she had wanted since she’d left him, and she felt how much he had missed her with is cock growing hard.
    She was the one to pull away , but they both were breathing heavy. “We need to get inside.”
    He lowered his head to suck her earlobe into his blistering mouth, and she melted in his arms. “Keys,” he said and gently blew on her wet earlobe.
    “Hmm…in my purse.” She reached inside and was happy when she found them right away. He took them and with her still in his arms, he unlocked the door.
    Inside her apartment she slid down him and took his face in her hands. “Stefan , I am in love with you, I think you had me as soon as I heard the Doctor Who theme song as your ring tone.” She felt herself smiling for the first time in a week.
    “Ah, so the key to your heart is the man in the blue box.”
