Falling for the Fire

Chapter 43

*Ariana's POV

I was sitting at home a while after work that night, when my phone went off with a text from Brooklyn.

"I know it's a Monday, but please come over and get drunk with me and let me take advantage of you. That dinner was fucking miserable."

I laughed at her message before responding, but obviously I was going to say yes.

"Ask and you shall receive, I'll be over soon."

I had already eaten dinner myself, so I quickly grabbed my things and was out the door.

When I got to Brooklyn's house, she pulled open the front door and was waiting for me. I eyed the bottle of vodka in her hand, and she took a swig from it as I walked inside.

"Oh, so we're just taking pulls straight from the bottle tonight, huh?" I asked her teasingly.

"Sure are," she said, "here."

She handed it over to me, and I only looked at it for a moment before I took a drink myself. I already knew this wasn't going to be a great idea with us both having to be at work tomorrow morning, but it had been a rough few days, I needed this.

I grimaced as the vodka burned on its way down my throat, and I handed the bottle back to her.

"The dinner was that bad?" I asked.

"Eliana is just fucking annoying me lately," she said, "and I - well you know why I don't like Owen."

"Yes, I have a pretty good guess," I grinned.

"She keeps on trying to create a problem that's not there," she said, "or something...I don't know, but she brought up us being friends in front of Owen. What the hell was the point of that?"

I rolled my eyes as I took another drink from the bottle that she'd handed back to me.

"Sounds like exactly what you said it was," I responded, "she's just trying to cause problems."

Brooklyn shook her head as we continued to pass the alcohol back and forth, and I could already feel it starting to take its toll.

"Now what was this about you wanting to take advantage of me?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Oh right," she nodded, "here, drink some more so I can execute my plan."

She grabbed on to my chin and tilted my head back, and I tried not to laugh as she poured more alcohol down my throat.

"That was too much," I said between coughs.

She shrugged as she set the bottle down on the kitchen counter, and she took another step towards me.

"You smell like..." she started, "vodka, and your perfume."

"Jesus, how much did you drink before I got here?" I laughed.

I was definitely on the verge of being drunk, but it appeared that Brooklyn was already well past that point.

"Not that much," she grinned.

She took my chin in her hand again and leaned down to kiss me. The taste of the alcohol lingered between us, and her lips quickly became more needy against mine.

Her other hand came up and wrapped around the side of my neck as her teeth gently pulled at my bottom lip.

"God I want to fuck you so badly," she said in a breathy tone.

A shiver ran down my spine at her words, and all that I could do was nod.

She slowly backed away from me and took the bottle of vodka off the counter. She put it to her lips and took another drink before handing it to me, and her eyes never left mine.

Once I set it back down, she took my hand in hers and walked down the hallway. I thought we were going to her bedroom, but she stopped before we got there and opened the bathroom door.

She reached into the shower and turned the water on as she turned back and gave me a mischievous smirk.

Between the alcohol in my system and the feeling that Brooklyn's grin was giving me, my mind was racing, but in the best way possible.

We both stripped out of our clothes as we waited for the water to warm up. Her eyes wandered along my naked body before she stepped up to me and ran her hands up my sides.

She stopped just below my breasts and held on to me as she kissed the side of my neck and under my jaw.

She reached behind me as she pulled away, opening the shower curtain and motioning for me to get in.

I stepped inside and she followed closely after me. The hot water beaded over both of us, and I couldn't remember the last time that I had been so damn turned on.

Her lips almost immediately found mine, and she pushed me against the back wall so the shower head was right over top of us.

Our limbs and tongues started to tangle together, and it was like neither of us could move fast enough to get what we wanted.

Her hands came up and cupped my breasts before her thumbs began to rub over top of my extremely sensitive nipples. Her mouth captured the quiet moan that escaped me as I felt the heat coursing through my body.

She reached up and held on to the side of my neck as her other hand moved lower. It slid in between my legs and I groaned as she found my throbbing clit.

She rubbed over it intently, and I felt myself using the shower wall for support.

Two of her fingers teased over my entrance, just barely going inside of me.

"Fucking tease," I groaned.

She laughed quietly against my lips before she moved her attention to my jaw and neck. She sucked at the skin along the base of it just as she forcefully pushed the rest of the way in.

I gasped at the sensation as I reached up and grabbed on to her arms. She rhythmically pulsed in and out, her fingers thrusting with more intensity than I was used to.

Her hand went around the back of my neck as she took hold of a handful of my wet hair.

My head fell back against the wall as Brooklyn's lips and tongue explored all along my neck. She sucked at the side of it just as her thumb pressed over my clit.

"Fuck Brooklyn," I moaned.

I felt my orgasm creeping to the surface as the water rained over us and her fingers buried deeper inside of me.

I started to push my hips forward, urging her to keep going as I grabbed on to her shoulders.

My fingers scratched down her arms as the blinding pleasure surged through my body. I moaned and breathed heavily as I reached my climax beneath the hot water.

Brooklyn slowly pulled her fingers and mouth away as my breathing steadied, and she looked at me with hunger still in her eyes.

I brought my hand up and cupped the side of her face before leaning in to kiss her.

When I leaned away, I watched as the water trailed down her naked body.

I looked back up at her, the thoughts racing through my mind at a million miles a minute.

"Brooklyn...I - " I paused momentarily.

Before I could continue, she captured the words that were about to come out of my mouth with her lips, stopping me from saying something that we both might come to regret.
