Henry (The Beck Brothers) by Andria Large

his favorite. He hopped onto the stool next to
Sebastian, who had already ordered them both a pint of Guinness.
     
    They started a tab and
took the glasses the pretty redheaded bartender set in front of them. They
clinked their glasses together and took a few gulps. They both smacked their
lips together and said "Ahhhh," when they set their glasses down. The
beer was so good.
     
    “ That ’ s good stuff, ” Henry sighed, relaxing a bit.
     
    Sebastian nodded in
agreement.
     
    Henry felt himself
relax a bit more as he took another sip. Then he almost choked on his beer when
he heard a familiar female voice squeal and call his name. Henry set his glass
down and spun on his stool just as Claire sauntered her way over to him. And
holy shit she looked fucking hot!
     
    She was in this sexy
black number that was short and showed her off shapely tanned legs. Her heels
were insanely high, he had no idea how she was even walking in them. Her long
strawberry blonde hair was down and loosely curled, and her make-up looked
fantastic. Much more dramatic than what she did for work. The red lipstick had
his cock straining painfully against his zipper. He could only imagine what
those red lips would look like wrapped … No!
Don ’ t even go
there . He almost groaned out loud, but
caught himself.
     
    “ Claire, ” he said, shocked to see her there.
     
    She was most
definitely drunk, he could tell just by her eyes, which were half shut and
glassy. Her face was flushed and she swayed a little bit as she made her way
over to him. Henry glanced behind her to see a man following. Jealousy reared
its ugly green head. Was she on a date?
     
    Claire raked an
appreciative gaze over him, which made him smile smugly. She stepped between
his spread knees and poked him in the chest with her finger.
     
    “ What are you doing here, Mr.
Beck? ” she slurred, leaning
close to his face. Her breath smelled like pineapple juice, so whatever she was
drinking was something fruity.
     
    Henry couldn't help
but watch those sexy lips of hers, which were only inches from his own. He
couldn't help but lick his own lips. “ I ’ m just hanging out with
Sebastian, ” he murmured,
nodding his head in his brother's direction.
     
    She glanced to his
left and smiled at Sebastian. “ Hey,
handsome."
     
    Sebastian raised an
eyebrow and smiled as he shook his head at her state of drunkenness. “ Hi there, gorgeous."
     
    “ How much have you had to drink? ” Henry asked, bringing her
attention back to him.
     
    Claire shrugged and stumbled
to the side. Henry grabbed her hips before she fell over.
     
    “ I was just going to take her
home, ” the guy behind her
said, grabbing her arm to move her out of Henry's grasp.
     
    “ And you are? ” Henry asked with a frown.
     
    “ Dr. Zack Landon, Claire's date, ” he said with a smug smile of
his own.
     
    “ Zack, this is my boss Henry, ” Claire giggled and pinched
Henry's cheek.
     
    Henry shook his head,
unable to stop the smile that curled his lips. He liked ‘ drunk Claire. ’ What he didn't like, however, was that Claire was on a date. She hadn't
mentioned anything about a date to him. Not that she had any obligation to, but
it would have been nice to know.
     
    “ Henry, your eyes are sooo green, ” Claire murmured, her eyes going
a bit wide as she stared at his eyes.
     
    Henry frowned at her.
That was weird.
     
    Zack gave him a tight
smile before putting his arm possessively around Claire's shoulders. “ Come on Claire, I'll take you
home and get you into bed."
     
    Henry didn't like the
sound of that. “ Claire, why
don't you hang out with Sebastian and me for a bit? ” he suggested, knowing that she would most likely
accept the invitation.
     
    Claire smiled brightly
and shrugged out from under Zack's arm. She moved back to stand between his
knees. “ Will you buy me a
drink boss man? ” she purred,
poking his chest again.
     
    Henry smiled. “ Of course"
     
    “ Claire, I think
