Rescue Me

Rescue Me | Chapter Ten - Part two

Andrea's POV

He hovered over me, blue eyes boring into my soul before crashing his lips to mine, devouring me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, my fingers, tangled in his long hair as we kissed.

Jared broke away from me, his gaze dark and stormy, aligned with mine. That perfect mouth of his descended to my neck, nipping and nibbling at my skin, making me giggle.

I pushed him over and placed my hand low on his tummy eliciting a sexy grown as I sat up and repositioned myself between his legs.

I jolted up in the bed panting, and quickly scanned the room to find I was alone. Hearing the shower, I realized Jared was still here, but wasn't sure why he was showering again.

Still attempting to catch my breath I threw myself back into the pillows again. Jared's clean scent floated into my nose and I smiled, then clenched my legs together as my steamy dream floated back into my head. I flopped my arm over my eyes internally cursing myself and sighed. 'I think I'm in big trouble.'

I crawled out of bed and pulled my favorite jeans, an old 30STM shirt I got at the first show I went to years ago and an oversized hoodie. As I connected the clasp on my bra I noticed I no longer heard the water running and panicked. Quickly, I grabbed my shirt to pull it over my head, smoothing it into place just as I heard him clear his throat.

We exchanged morning greetings and I couldn't help but notice Jared seemed a little off. "Why did you shower again?" I asked. "No reason." He replied quickly. I swear if I didn't know better I'd think he blushed when I asked.

I watched him move about the room, my eyes locked on his muscular back as he bent to put his clothes away. I chewed on my lip, wishing I could have him for breakfast. Breakfast! Yes, a distraction. I need a distraction. "Are you hungry? I know a great place not far from here that makes delicious vegan food. It's not too cold today so we can walk if you want, or call for a car."

We walked to one of my favorite restaurants in town called Chimera, small and always bustling but delicious vegan food. I placed our names on the list to be seated, then Jared and I sat down.

I nudged his knee and waited for him to look at me. "You ok over there J? You've been quiet this morning." A smile formed at the corner of his mouth, "Yeah, I'm good." I smirked at his answer, You're a terrible liar, Jared."

I heard my name and looked away from Jared to find the source. My stomach turned as I saw who approached, but I didn't want to cause a scene. "Seth! How are you?"

'Not that I care.'

He pulled my arm, gesturing for me to stand and pulled me into a hug. I felt his hands gliding way too low on my body and my skin crawled. I placed my arms on his shoulders ready to break away from him, but he pulled me in tighter. I heard him ask how long I was in town for, why did that matter? If he thought I'd be alone in a room with him ever again, he was dumber than I realized. 'Jared, I need Jared'

I glanced back to see Jared, a scowl on his face, was watching the entire time. I gestured him over eagerly, finally able to push Seth's body away from mine. Jared stood and took a step over to me, I stepped slightly behind him and draped my arm around his, "Jared, this is Seth, an old acquaintance. Seth, this is my good friend, and soon to be boss, Jared."

Jared offered his hand to shake, but in true Seth fashion, he refused to return the gesture. Instead he glared at Jared, squaring his body trying to appear bigger than he was. I rolled my eyes, glancing between them.

"Andrea darling, let me take you to one of the reserved seats in the VIP area, you'll get better service in there." Seth cooed, grabbing my hand, he pulled me through the restaurant. I dug my heels in, stopping his movement and pulled my hand free, "I'm not your 'darling' Seth, never have been."
