Dangerously Close

Taking

It was girls night, every Sunday Hazel and I would have a girls night in with wine munchies and movies. Of course Tim would be doing his own little thing in the study and then he'd go to bed when Hazel and I got annoying.

I picked up my glass and wine taking a sip with a smile from Hazel's reaction.
"So he's gonna ditch her for you?" She was sitting up now and looking at me in shock. I nodded and and placed my glass on the table.
"So when he does, what does that make you two then?" Hazel kept smiling this time, I'm not sure if it was because of all the wine she drunk or if she was actually happy for me. I shrugged and we left the conversation behind us.

It's 1am and we're still drinking, Hazel thought it would be a great idea if we get out the karaoke machine and have a few sing songs.
Hazel was on the mic singing whilst I was dancing, neither of us noticed someone had walked in the room with us. As I tried to do my best pivot my eyes caught the figure.
"Harkin." I stopped dancing and stood there examining his soaked body and clothing. Hazel turned and dropped the mic. The music was still playing but both of us were in too much shock to turn it off.
"Katy, I need to talk to you." Hazel squinted her eyes at him and walked towards him.
"I swear buddy, you hurt her ever again and I don't care how much money you have, you would wanna move country, cause I'll hunt you down and torture you! You understand!" Hazel was standing in front of him now pointing her finger at him. Of course she was drunk but so was Katy. Hazel hiccuped then walked out of the room, closing the door quietly she left Katy and Harkin on their own.
Katy ran and turned off the karaoke machine.
"What's wrong? What happened to your clothes? Why are you wet?" Oh no I'm drunk, I'm bombarding him with questions. Katy sat on the sofa and looked up at the soaking, hot guy standing in front of her.
Harkin took off his shoes and jacket. He stayed standing which didn't surprise Katy for he was soaked and she didn't want him ruining the furniture.
"I called over to Scarlette's. I told her I didn't want anything to do with her, and she threatened to kill herself. I told her to do it instead of making threats."
He looked down at his clothes and then back at Katy.
"So what happened?"
"She decided she couldn't kill herself so she pushed me into the swimming pool. As I got out she told me she never wanted to see me again." Katy stood up in front of Harkin and rubbed his soaking wet arm.
"Are you ok?" She sounded so sincere.
"Yeah, but I need to change out of these clothes. Would you have anything spare? If not I can get James to drop some over." Katy knew her breathing was getting heavier once he started undoing his shirt. Oh gosh answer him Kate don't just stand there staring.
"I don't know.... I think we might have some." She ran to the door but paused as she grabbed the handle.
"Why didn't you go home first?"
"I wanted to tell you straight away."
She smiled and ran out of the room to grab him some clothes.

Hazel wasn't far behind me when I was grabbing things out of the wardrobe.
"So if he's here can I invite Aaron?" I knew she was thinking on a double date night or something but I couldn't say no. I know what it's like to be the third wheel, especially when it was always Aaron and Hazel then me with no one.
"Yeah do you want my phone to ring him?" Hazel nodded and grabbed it from my hands, within seconds she was running out the front to make her phone call.

I returned back to the room where Harkin was. Opening the door I could see him standing there in front of the fire in just his boxers. His body was still quite wet which made his muscles stand out more. Oh how I just wanted to run my fingers along his body.
"I.... Um.... I got you some things. I can get you a towel aswell." Harkin smiled and took the clothes off her..
"Nah I'll just dry in front of here for a while then get dressed if that's ok?"
Katy nodded and gulped really loud. If Scarlette's gone now and it's just him and me then that means I get to touch his body I get to hold him and feel his muscles surround me.
She smiled from her own thoughts but sat on the sofa beside Harkin and took a sip from her wine.
"Would you like some?"
"I'm not a big wine drinker but, sure why not." He smiled as Katy bounced up and grabbed him a glass from the cabinet. He was looking at her butt the whole time she had her back turned to him. Maybe that's what she wanted him to be looking at? Who cares the curve on her butt cheeks always grabbed his attention.
"Are you checking out my arse?" Katy's question pulled his attention back to her face. He gave her a cheeky smile and winked.
Just that smile and wink made me feel like I had butterflies in my stomach. God I hope Hazel will be in soon or I'll be on him in the blink of an eye.
Harkin stood up and started putting on the joggers Katy had grabbed for him. Hazel walked in with Aaron behind her. Her mouth dropped when she seen Harkin half naked by the fire. "Jeesh you could wait till we went to bed." Hazel laughed and brought Aaron to a sofa.
"We thought you did go to bed Hazel." Harkin said with a smile in her direction. I looked at Hazel in shock and she did the same back to me. Within seconds we were both laughing at his joke.
Harkin threw the t-shirt on and slouched on the sofa next to Katy, across from them Hazel and Aaron were snuggled into each other. As much as Katy wanted to cuddled up to Harkin's amazing body she knew she didn't want to make it awkward.
"So how long are you two together?" Aaron asked and Hazel elbowed him into the side given him the stink eyes.
"Well if it was up to me, we would've been together a long time ago." Harkin smiled at Katy.
What's he on about? He chose my friend over me! Calm down Kate he's with you right now isn't he.
"Well if you chose me before my ex friend then maybe you would've." Harkin's smile disappeared and Aaron looked down at Hazel.
"So anyone want another drink?" Hazel asked whilst jumping up to grab the bottle of wine.
Harkin drunk what was left in his glass and asked for more. Most of the night was spent with Hazel and I making jokes and laughing together while Harkin and Aaron talked about cars and making money.
It was now 4am, Hazel and Aaron started to get very cuddly so I showed them to the guest room/Hazel's room. I looked at Harkin not sure where to offer him to sleep, but I knew I could think about it while I finish the wine in my glass. Sitting down on the sofa opposite Harkin, Katy's mind was scanning through different places Harkin could sleep.
"Do I smell or something?" Katy looked up at him and shook her head.
"I just thought you would've wanted to sprawl out or something."
"Nah, I'd rather cuddle with you, but if that's a no go then I'll deal with it." He replied smiling.
Katy wasn't sure what to do but a cuddle from him sounded great right now. She got up and sat on the sofa next to him, Harkin wrapped his arms around her and held her close to his chest. Katy unraveled in his arms, this felt good. It was one of them cuddles which felt safe, safer than home but comfortable.
"Do you want to go to bed?" Katy raised her head to look into his eyes, he looked tired himself.
"I could head home if you want to go bed." I don't want him to go home, I don't want to go to bed either, I just want to stay here in his arms.
"Or you could stay here? It's gone 4 already so what would be the point?" Harkin smiled at Katy and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Ok I'll sleep here then." What? On the sofa?
"You could sleep in my bed, as long as nothing funny happens." She placed her head back onto her chest and he hummed agreeing with her.
When they got to the bedroom Katy got changed in the ensuite and Harkin stripped down to his boxers.
When she got out of the bathroom in her pyjama shorts and vest Harkin was already in the bed.
Katy's belly felt like it was doing it's own acrobatic show. She slipped into the bed beside him and tucked herself in comfortably. As much as she wanted to hold him and run her fingers over every part of his body she was too shy.
Her body tingled when his hand started to glide up her thigh and onto her stomach. "If you don't want me to touch you, just tell me." He whispered. I took a deep breath in, even with my vest in between his hand and my skin it still tingles. I took a deep breath in and turned to face him. The only light was the shine from the moon coming in from the window, but I could still see his eyes looking down at me. Even in bed he was taller than me.
His hand glided up and down my stomach lifting my best then putting it back down again. My belly was now doing somersaults and I was pulsing for him. I placed my hand on his face stroking his morning stubble. He placed another gentle kiss on my forehead but left his lips there, lingering on my head. My whole body wanted him, just for him to take me but I couldn't and I shouldn't.
The last thing I remember was stroking his chest before my eyelids closed.
