It got late in Knightsbridge. But that seemingly didn't stop anyone from leaving just yet. Kate left a bit earlier, much too George's dismay.

The group sat around in Adams big kitchen, on the bar stools by the counter, on his dinner table, some over on his couch. The only light source was the lamp that was so big that it hang over all of them. Nora let a little loose tonight, Adeline noticed as she was probably on her fourth coke vodka now. The atmosphere was pleasant, light almost. All one would hear when just coming in through his door would be a homogenous tone of chatter laughter and the clinking of glasses.

Adeline always liked to think of herself in a future situation, looking back to exact such evenings. She was genuinely happy right now. A factor that might have played into that was how touchy Adam was tonight. He always kept his hands on her waist, caressing her skin lightly. Or he would come up from behind hugging her surprisingly when she fixed herself another glass of coke. And it wasn't like the others didn't notice, Adeline swore she could see Jim and Nora share a light smile whenever he did. It bothered her in some ways, as if they're the super happy figured out couple that knew everything their single friends didn't know yet. 

Of course, his light change in behavior also didn't get past her. Was this his way of saying I want you back? Or simply an I need someone tonight? And although both possibilities scared her, it felt good. To experience such kind of appreciation again, to have someone touch her like that, to let it be him. It wouldn't have to mean anything, not yet anyways.

The last guests eventually left around 2 am. The bathroom with the turquoise tiles and the big bathtub was the room Adeline was standing in now and getting ready for the night. And even though she should come down by now, there was an adrenaline he gave her that she couldn't undress from. Her long hair seemed a bit dry from the chlorine, so she put it in a bun for now, reminding herself to take care of them tomorrow. 

As she was done brushing her teeth, she slipped into the bed next to Adam. On his left side, it was always the left side she slept on. Everything as usually. Just that now, it seemed to feel a little more electrifying if she didn't interpret too much into the night.

Meanwhile Adam sat on the edge of the bed, trying to gather as much braveness as he could still find within himself. This night wouldn't be like the other ones, he set his mind on telling her. Having have heard of this guy that gave her his number scared him. What if was too late already? He took another deep breath, a sight almost.

She laid down next to him after he got into bed first and tugged herself in. His arm wandered naturally over her hip. His heart was beating like crazy. Not only was he planning on telling her the deepest wish of his heart tonight, but having her so close to him again after his head had spat out dirty images of her body all day was almost frightening. He had felt like that the entire night. And perhaps he had to curse himself for being so easily controlled by his inner urges.

And now, as they were so close, it was silent for a while until she couldn't help it anymore. She kissed him deeply, her eyes were closed, her body closely pressed to his. And when their lips parted for a second, she looked at his surprised face. "Adeline-". She kissed him again, almost as if she wanted to shut him up. Now he kissed back with just as much lust in his veins and maneuvered himself on top of her, pinning her down. Adrenaline was rushing through him caused by this pleasant surprise. Nothing could stop him from loving her now. They kept on making out, Adam altering between her lips, her face and her neck. Light moans escaped her mouth, he sighed in bliss.

Her hand, which was once pressing him in further to her skin was now traveling down his torso, caressing his muscles under his shirt until she tried to get the fabric off of him. And he helped her, shortly standing on his knees tugging it over his head. He went back down to her as soon as possible softly touching all the skin he could reach, kneading her left breast until she helped him likewise and he groaned when she saw that she was just as needy to get her bra off. Adeline wasn't insecure anymore with how he made her feel, as if she was the one and only thing he has ever desired so desperately.
