Chapter 21 Distraction

((( Warning Explicit Content Warning)))

Minnie's POV

We sit in the dark alley as we watched Lydia and Jason pass on by, once again together.. I don't like that.. I know how badly it hurts to find out that your significant other is cheating, but I feel like it's going to hurt me just as badly to relay the bad news to my friend as I watch her heart break from the news. It will be hard, but she deserves to know that when he has not been with her, that he has been with another woman.. but maybe I am wrong.. maybe she is family or something.. I will call her and find out before I spill the beans.

I sit here for a short moment straining my ears to hear if they are still out there, but as I heard their voices receding, I can easily assume that they are gone now.. and yet here we are, not moving a muscle and I don't have one complaint about it. My heart is pounding as I feel his breath feathering over my lips, confirming he is much closer than I can see in all of this darkness. "Once.. we order our food.. I will call Mary and ask her a couple of questions about her boyfriend before I say anything about what we have seen.. maybe she knows Lydia too and this isn't as suspicious as we think.. but I need to ask first." I explain my thought process to him as he hums out.

But he doesn't move a muscle even now.. as much as I love the way his scent fills my senses, calming me down on straight contact. I do need food and also need to get back to Walter who is waiting for us. I place my hand on his chest feeling his heart beating drastically in his chest, thumping like a drum. "So.. I think you have successfully hidden us from sight.. and I would assume they are gone.. so nothing to worry about Lach.. we can head in and grab the food now." I suggest as he lets out a deep breath, sounding like a nervous one.

"Yes.. of course.. I was just worried when I heard them talking about a woman.. I don't want you to be targeted by helping me.. As far as I know, they don't have any idea that I'm here, but they know for a fact that you have been involved with multiple things surrounding my father.. I just worry about you." he says this with so much genuine care, that I can feel it in my bones. I rub my fingertips over his chest gently as I respond softly. "I'm ok.. I can take care of myself.. but I do appreciate the worry.. but you don't have to worry about me for too much longer.. You will be able to go home and away from all of this.. and I guarantee once you get away from this that you will feel a million times better." I try to soothe his mind from worrying about me, but I don't think it has worked.

It makes me sad thinking about him leaving, because I can feel myself getting increasingly attached to him the longer we seem to spend together. It was unexpected, but I can't say I regret it one bit.. but I have been trying so hard to put up a wall around my heart so it won't get hurt when he leaves.. and yet I can't seem to get it up, let alone leave it up when he is near. It's like he knows the combination to the lock on my heart and won't ever let me shut it. Just knowing this, shows me that I am going to be crushed when he leaves.. all I can do is hope that I am not devastated when he goes.

I feel his fingertips gently tracing over my jawline before it curls behind my ear and head. "No matter where I am.. I.. don't think I would ever stop thinking about ya.. let alone stop worrying about ya." I feel the air taken from my lungs with those words, not knowing how to respond. But before I even can respond, I feel his soft lips gently pressing into mine once again, and without hesitation, my palm drapes over his cheek, pulling him in making the kiss deeper than I ever wanted because I can feel myself falling hard in this moment.. There goes my heart beating the song he has created between us and letting me know it won't just be a devastating blow when he leaves, but a heart-shattering one.

And yet, I let it happen because my body nor my heart has the strength to stop something that makes me feel this complete. I enjoy this moment not knowing if I will get another like it in my life. The connection shared between our hearts and bodies that fit so perfectly together as if they were made for one another, feels absolutely electrifying. I'm glad I met him and I will hold onto these memories for the rest of my life. I can tell you that much.

The passion in our heated kiss is intoxicating, that is before he pries his lips from mine, showing it is just as hard for him as it is for me. He is breathing hard as he pecks my lips and whispers, "I'm sorry for continuously harassing ya but I just can't seem to help it.. yous have some type of hold on me." I smile to myself, "I don't mind because here I was thinking the same thing." He hums in a deep tone sounding almost like a purr before he starts to kiss me again until our stomachs sing in harmony showing how smelling the food from the restaurant we are right beside, is now reminding us that we haven't ate since breakfast.

He chuckles into my lips before kissing them again and saying. "I got way too distracted.. and I almost forgot why we wer'e here."I giggle at that because I was doing the same thing. "It's ok we can finish this talk, when we get back to my place." I playfully state as he takes my hand into his a pulling me behind him out of the shadows and into the restaurant. The ordering is fast but nothing could be as fast as we both wanted. But once the food is handed to us, we practically race back to the car as we get back to my place faster then expected.

We get into my apartment as I set the food down on the counter and turn around to have my lips attacked by his. I smile into his lips because I was waiting for this to happen, but obviously he couldn't wait any longer. My arms wrap around his shoulders, bending up just to run my fingers through his hair as his arms wrap around my back, pulling me in until there is no space between us. He backs us up until my back hits the island counter. I pull my lips from his and stepping away from him as he looks shocked, probably wondering if I wasn't liking it, but believe me I am.

I smirk at his shocked features as I start to walk backwards before I put my pointer finger out and curling it to show he needs to follow me. He jumps into action following my instructions as I quickly peel off my shirt and throwing it to the floor, getting his pace to quicken. He does the same, peeling his shirt off and exposing his upper body to me, causing me to crave running my hand through his chest hair once again. I bite my bottom lip lightly, getting a good look at him as I turn around and head into my room. I reach back and undo my bra, letting it slip off and onto the floor as I undo the button and zipper on my shorts, letting them slip down my legs and until they hit the floor for me to just step out of.

I turn around to see a mesmerized looking Lachlan who hasn't even taken his pants off, I think he was distracted looking at me.. I have never thought of myself as a stunning woman but here he is looking stunned so who am I to say that I am not. I smile over at him as I say, "Are you having second thoughts about this?" he scoffs while shaking his head and saying, "I'm having a million thoughts about this." The smile that forms on my face is face-splitting as I watch him undo his pants and let them drop to the floor before trying to step out like I did. But it doesn't work as well for him as it did for me. He trips then stumbles forward, as I step closer to him to try to help because I would hate for him to fall. But once my hands land on his chest and running through that soft hair again, he is able to balance himself, before kicking the pants off and now looking more nervous than ever but I thought that was absolutely adorable.

I keep tracing my fingertips through the hair and over his chest, trying to help calm him because the nervousness is still evident on his features.. But I am the definition of clumsy, so I'm not judging him whatsoever. "I'm sorry.. 'bout that." he whispers as I shake my head before saying in the sexiest tone I can muster up, "I'm not sorry at all." I can hear him sucking in a sharp breath looking just as nervous as I feel, which makes me feel better for my nervousness. I take a step back before turning around to try to give him a fun show, I wrap my thumbs under the straps of my thong as I slowly pull it down until I am able to drop it, letting it fall to the floor. His mouth drops open just as fast as it drops. I can see that he is liking what he sees since he is pitching a tent for me in his boxer briefs. He sees where my attention lies, mostly on the tent, as he quickly pulls the boxer briefs off and stepping right out of them. I can't take my eyes from him and he sees this, so he comes right over to me without a moment to lose.

He turns my body to face him as he quickly grips my hips, pulling me in before crashing his lips to mine. I wrap my hands around his face, just enjoying this as much as I can.. His fingers caress over my skin causing the nervousness to explode within me like a volcano. The anticipation from the many times I have thought about this already is getting to me. But I won't let it get the best of me. I walk us back until I feel my bed sheets behind my calves. I pull our lips apart, as I sit down on my bed and pushing myself back so my entire body is lying out on the bed as he leans down, hovering over me. "Are ya sure yous ok with this? There is no pressure, at all.. I like, no love the naturally electric connection that we have between us.. but that doesn't mean we have to do this." he says softly to me as I instantly reply, "I feel the undeniable connection between us too, and I want this probably as much as you do."

He lets out a nervous breath before leaning in and gently pressing our lips together. They somehow feel as if they fit perfectly together, making this feel more right than anything else right now. My hands trail over his exposed chest, as I can feel the chills running through me while his hands caress down my body. From my chest and over my plump breasts, gripping them lightly before he skims his hands down my stomach and to my thighs. His fingers found the perfect place for them, slipping a couple into my slit and back out a couple of times, just to use the excitement within me that is covering his fingers, to trace his fingertips around the bean and right back in. The sensations he has ignited within me cannot be matched. I moan out lightly just enjoying his gentle touch because it is something that is even better than I ever imagined.

He continues this for who knows how long, because I am so absolutely lost in the moment that my body is naturally arching in pleasure while losing any tracking of time. I would allow this to last all day if possible. The moans that escape my lips are something I never heard come from me before, just proving to myself that this was the right idea. His lips trail over my chest until they meet with my n*pple, sucking on it lightly, while his fingers continue on making me feel amazing. That is before he pulls them out while I feel his shaft replacing the fingers and plunging inside of me taking my breathe away in a different way.

I moan out louder than I think we both anticipated as my hands grip his shoulders just needing something to hold onto to make sure I am down to earth and that this is not just a wet dream. I bend my legs up giving him more room as I feel him getting deeper with his moans now matching mine. His lips make a path from my breasts to my neck and all along my jawline as I lean my head, giving him as much room as he needs. He thrust into my core more times than I could even count, causing my body to just give into the pleasure. His hands caress down and over my hips holding them there as he plunges deeper than the last sending my head back as the peak of my climax is hitting me harder than I thought it would. He groans and moans into my ear before our lips collide, connecting in more ways than one.

The blanket of this euphoric feeling covers my entire body as I hit my peak, the ecstasy flows through my veins like a drug as I enjoy the high he has given me while watching him pull himself out as he aggressively pumps his shaft over the top of me, showering my stomache with his fluids that show how much he really enjoyed this and I can say without a doubt it has to be just as much as I did. The smile that is plastered on my face couldn't be wiped away no matter how hard anyone could try.. That's what I needed and I don't regret one second of it.
