The First Time I Saw You

Chapter 6

Claire had immediately called Henry back. She was never the kind of person who lied or made excuses, she wasn't the kind to get sidetracked and miss an appointment as important as this one either. That was something she had to her advantage, Dr. Wu had known her since she was nineteen and just an intern. He knew she had her priorities straighten out and if she had missed all his calls and e-mails then she had a very valid reason. It wasn't like he would immediately assume she had forgotten about their meeting and had ended up having sex with the new hire, was it?

The redhead hadn't changed so fast in her life. She dragged Owen out of his hotel room and back to the Innovation Center without any concrete explanation. It was until she drove one of the resort Jeeps back to the park when she filled him in on their itinerary, it was supposed to be over to the lab after the Mosasaurus Feeding Show.

Henry would have been the one introducing him to the four eggs still in incubation process. There was still a couple of weeks to go before they hatched and Owen was happy to hear that his work would take place at the lab until then; that meant he'd be in the same building as Claire. If there was something he had come to realize while having sex with her in that shower, it was that he would never be able to resist her, he needed her the same way his lungs needed air.

This was evident by the way he was walking behind her, resting his hands on her curvy hips and pulling her against him, not caring that she kept brushing him off and asking him to stop. The way she chuckled while slapping his hands off her round ass only enabling him to try steal her attention. She was liking it, he could tell that much.

"Jeez. What are you sixteen?" She finally turned around, waiting for the door to the lab to open. "Calm down, D—"

"Don't!" He interrupted her, noticing the way her eyes were looking down on him and her teeth were nibbling on her lower lip while her body curved against his. He knew exactly what word she was about to say, and he was not going to take fault of his actions if she went there.

Claire rolled her eyes and turned back around so they could walk into the Hammond Creation Lab. "Don't touch anything while we are in there." She requested with an authoritarian voice.

Owen knew very well she didn't mean the tools and equipment around the lab. He chuckled and abruptly pulled her against the corner, "then tell me how to stay away from you~" He breathed heavily against her ear from behind, his arm wrapping her waist and his fingers finding their way up her stomach under her top, his index finger pressing against her belly button.

Claire closed her eyes and bit on her lip. "I won't—" She refused, leaning against him. She could feel how hard he was. The redhead smiled to herself and pulling away, she looked over her shoulder and walked away.

Owen walked behind her, like a puppy would his master, like those Looney Tunes cartoons when Bugs Bunny would fall hypnotized by a female rabbit and unable to function letting her scent guide him, floating in the air, following her.

"Dr. Wu." Claire smiled, once they were met by the man. "Once again, I apologize for making you waste your time." She wrinkled her nose, her cheeks displaying a shade of pink giving away how ashamed she truly felt.

She had explained how Lovelace getting stuck in that mud pit and the rain they had had earlier that afternoon had delayed everything, not to mentioned the incident at the Mosasaurus stadium. Claire had basically filled him in on everything that had set her itinerary back except for the hour she had spent with Owen in the shower.

The doctor just nodded his head once, he was a serious man for his height and Owen was getting this vibe from him that if he messed something up, his hands would be chopped off. Maybe Claire was referring to Wu's toys after all when she said not to touch anything. He had to immediately pull his hand away from some test tubes at the thought of this.
