didn’t mention Dexter – he’d assume things that were never going to happen just like Rachel. Then he told me about this big deal with a car dealership he’d just landed for his boss and I told him how proud I was of him. He’s going to have his own business one day I just know it. “So as a reward he’s giving me a week off. There’s even talk of a promotion,” Chris continued. “So I thought seeing as I’ve nothing better to do I might go visit my baby sister if she’ll have me?” I literally jumped off the bed. “Of course I will!” It’s amazing how much you can miss someone after just a few weeks. I don’t think I realised just how much until he said that. “When are you coming?” “It’ll be after the weekend. Probably Monday if that’s okay with you.” “Sure it is! Rachel will be pleased too.” Oh God. I was never going to hear the end of how gorgeous he was. How strong he was. How lickable he was… Ugh. “Look I’ve got to run. But I’ll call over the weekend and let you know when I’m coming okay?” “Okay. Can’t wait.” “Take care, Emmie.” “You too, big bro.” I ran out to tell Rachel the good news the second I hung up the phone. “Remind me to nip out for some extra-absorbent panty-liners before he gets here.” “Eww, Rach. Just… Eww.” And with that note I decided a hot shower and an early night were in order. “You need help picking all this crap up before I head to bed?” “Errm, this ‘crap’,” she air-quoted, “is a masterpiece in the making. And no thanks I’m not done with it yet.” “Right well I’ll see you in the morning then.” “Sure will, Ho. Hope you have sexy dreams about The American.” Rolling my eyes for the fifty-billionth time at her, I turned for the bathroom. “G’night, Rach.”
Chapter Eleven
Dexter
I think it’s pretty safe to say I like the hell outta Emily. I don’t think anyone has ever made me smile so much my whole life as that girl did today. And I swear, watching her on all fours on my floor working up a sweat while she scraped and scrubbed, all I could think about was how much I wish it were me making her glisten like that. This was a bad thing of course, and I would be monumentally pissed at myself for feeling this way if I didn’t know that there was a perfectly rational reason for it. I’ve not enjoyed a decent fuck in over three weeks – a quick in, out and shake it all about in the men’s room at work just doesn’t cut it. So I knew the only reason I’d had a near permanent hard on looking at Emily today was because I was frustrated, and once I sorted that out tonight, I’d be able to concentrate on us just being friends. I wasn’t on the roster at work for tonight but I said I’d meet Jared there to hand him his key back. I planned to stay for a drink or two and then head on to a nearby club or bar and check out the talent. I took a cab to The Blue Apple - it was easier than trying to find somewhere to park the bike - and settled myself down on wrong side of the bar. Fuck knows why Mick didn’t sign me up for tonight because as usual for a Wednesday the place was packed and Jared was rushed off his feet. So much so I ended up getting impatient waiting for my drink and ended up jumping across the bar and fetching my own. I stuck out waiting for Jared to come join me for twenty minutes or so but when the crowd picked up even further I saw it as my cue to leave before I got roped into helping. Yeah, I know that was pretty shitty of me but I had something much higher on my list of priorities tonight – getting laid before my balls exploded. After heading into the back room and tucking the key into the pocket of Jared’s jacket I headed out the back door and walked to the nearest bar. Dynamite was even busier than the pub and I had to dodge my way through a mass of intoxicated assholes to get to the bar. When I’d ordered my ginger ale I looked for a spot
