His To Save

7) Hot and wet

        
       *****JACK*****

She looked tempting. There was no denying that.

   And the coy flash in her eyes had almost knocked me off my balance. Even with all the bloodshed she had experienced in the last two years, Annie still possessed this cute shy side of her.

But I couldn't allow her to break through my defense.

   My situation was still a thick mess-with Pattie and the unborn child. I couldn't afford to accommodate any relationship with Annie till I had resolved my mess, lest she overreacts and does something absurd.

    I moved back, observing the defenseless look on her face. There were traces of confusion and sadness all over her.

     "Came to pay a visit to my future partner." Annie answered, suddenly wearing a bold emotionless aura.
All the motions that had existed on her face faded, leaving behind this cold fire in her brown eyes.

One look at them, and the urge to grab her to myself and pound the daylight out of her grew dangerously.
I knew what was needed to be done, yet I didn't want to.
   It felt thrilling teasing my own feelings and Annie's as well.

        "Seems like he agreed?"

Annie turned around, gracing me with her back...her ass.

   I got caught up in a moment of weakness and my eyes ended up fixed on that round butt that I used to spank whenever I felt like. The mere memory of the past jolted something down till it struck my groin.

   A slight arousal started threatening my brain.

   Get her out of here. My brain ordered, but my heart refused.

I was happy knowing that she wanted to see me as much as I did. But we both had duties to fulfil, and people to look out for.
    Years ago, Annie used to be my person.

Sigh!

I indeed did miss protecting her. Missed having dinner with her and playing with her.

       "I'm agreeing on his behalf. I'm more powerful than he is." Annie stated walking towards the table by the wall.

Without even asking, she grabbed a bottle of vodka and poured some in two glasses.
   Holding her silence, I watched her pick up the two glasses and walk back to where she once stood.
    "Here." She stretched her right hand, offering me one glass.

Feeling a little surprised, I received the kind gesture, brushing fingers with hers as i took it. Under my extremely keen eye, I caught the electrified reaction in Annie's, but she hid it well. Damn this woman.
Seemed she had learnt a thing or two about controlling one's emotions.

    "To new adventures, Mr Raynatt." Annie proposed a toast.

   "Mm!"

Glasses clinked, and we both drank.

I took a sip, wary of her intentions. Luckily she had poured the drunk right before my vision or I'd never have accepted it.
   Pattie had taught me the biggest lesson of my life. And I was yet, to settle scores with her

My eyes flew past the rim of the glass, and observed Annie who was drowning the alcohol in bigger sips. With each gulp, her expression distorted in what I knew was a burn.

   She was trying so hard to appear put together. To appear daring in front of me.

  Well, I'd have to sit and enjoy the show, for I knew that she was a lightweight. It'd be a matter of minutes before the drama would begin.
