Zoe looked around the bar she was currently stood in; she watched the patrons of the bar laughing, chatting, drinking. She stood alone, taking everything else in whilst slowly sipping the Gin and Tonic in her hand, they were on their ED staff night out and she could see the other members of her department spread across the dance floor and bar; Jeff and Dixie were downing pints at the bar, Tess and Charlie sat in a booth with Noel, Louise and Big Mac, Ash had left with his apologies, Rita was dancing with Ethan and Cal was unsuccessfully trying to chat Lily up. Zoe listened to Cal as he spoke to Lily, his cheesy chat up lines were having no effect on her whatsoever, Zoe had to laugh at his gall.
She slid into the booth beside Tess, on their assistance that she couldn't stand at the bar alone; her eyes were focused on the man leaning against the wall not far from the DJ with the young blonde beside him. He was playing games again, trying to make her jealous, well it was working she decided. Of course she wanted his attention that he was currently lapping on the twenty something, size eight blonde, who didn't look very bright, but she was definitely pretty. She tried to listen to the conversation going on around her but she could feel his eyes boring into hers from across the room. Sighing deeply she picked up her phone and began to type a message.
Well... are you going to ask me to dance?
She looked straight across to Max and raised her phone ever so subtly, motioning for him to look at his. She smirked to herself as he brushed off the blonde and made his way across to her; like a predator stalking is prey.
"Do you want to dance Dr Hanna?" Max asked, drawing the attention of the others in the both beside her.
"Oh, I'm not sure" she replied, smiling at him slightly as she waited for that she knew would inevitably happen.
"Go on Zoe" Tess urged, giving her a slight shove from the booth, she'd had far too much to drink.
"Yeah, go on" the others agreed in a noisy babble.
"Oh, go on then" she addressed him, allowing him to take her by the hand and lead her to the floor.
She smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled him close to him. They were unnoticeable amongst the other dancers on the floor, not in danger of being caught as he groped her bum, his fingers trailing under the hem of her dress. She groaned lightly as his fingers danced along the lace edge of her panties.
"I like this" Max murmured, his fingers playing with the zip that ran all the way along the front of her dress, from the middle of breasts to the middle of her thighs.
"Why?" Zoe questioned "Easy access?" she chuckled lightly as his fingers pulled the zip down ever so slightly, a little more of her cleavage now on show. She looked around quickly as he began to trail kisses along her neck "Shall we go?" she asked breathlessly "I've only had one drink I'll meet you at my car in five" she whispered into his ear as she hurried to say her goodbyes and make her excuses.
He pushed her up against the door of his bedroom, her breath leaving her as his lips joined with hers. It didn't seem like a good idea to be back at his house but it was closer and they couldn't wait much longer. He pulled her into the room, stopping to quickly toe his shoes off and allow her to step out of hers. Her expensive heels lay next to his trainers and countless shirts, socks and boxers which probably all needed washed. Her expensive shoes were the complete antithesis of his entire bedroom.
She quickly stripped him of his t shirt; forcing it up and over his head. She titled her neck to the side, allowing him to scrape his teeth across her pulse point and his lips down her sternum. He pulled the zip of her dress down and slid it from her body, leaving her in her knickers as he rained kisses across her body.
"You're right" Max looked at Zoe "Definitely easy access"
She laughed, and pulled him onto the bed, kissing him as hard as she could. "Shh" she whispered as the front door banged and Robyn and Loftys' voices floated up towards them.
He pulled the covers over both of them as she wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him into her.
"So" she murmured softly into the dark of his bedroom, long after they were finished and Robyn had put Lofty and herself to bed "Am I a better evening than the blonde at the bar?"
"Definitely" Max confirmed as he kissed her again.
