He was gone and back before I could even wrap my head around what he had said. Was he joking? Surely his was joking. This couldn't possibly be happening right now. I stared at him intently as a sat across from me at the kitchen table eating some breakfast that I had made. He made no attempt at explaining or repeating the previous statements, instead he spoke fondly of my father, the weather and my cooking.
Clearly, I must have made the whole thing up in my head. That or he was paying a very confusing game with me and I don't like games that don't have clear rules or objectives. I finally smiled at one of his statements and bit into a slice of toast from my plate.
He swallowed his bite and set his fork down. "So are we going to go upstairs or not."
He said it calmly and so surely that it caused my to spit out my toast. He let out a little chuckled and I stared at him with probably the stupidest look on my face. "Why do you keep saying stuff like that?!"
"Like what?"
I glared. "You know exactly what I'm talking about, Shane." I pointed my fork at him. "I am a lady sir and will be spoken to as such..."
"Mmhmm... again, I arrested you. So what exactly does that say towards your character?"
I scoffed. "I...well... that isn't the point. The point is...You are a police officer and are supposed to...to" I struggled to remain focused as he got to his feet. "I am VERY confused!" I said softly.
He smiled and placed a hand on my cheek, I was hoping he couldn't feel my entire body tremble beneath his touch. He gently turned my head to face him and what happened next, I still don't understand why I did it. One second I was sitting at my kitchen table the next, I was standing on tip toe pressing my lips to his. Waves of heat rolled from his body like a mid summer day into mine, every inch of my skin touching his felt like it was on fire.
He ran his right hand down my shoulder, along the curve of my hip and very quickly lifted my left leg up to almost his hip. In one fluid movement he had lifted me up on the corner of the kitchen table and pressed himself against me. This instant I felt him in between my legs I lost it. I buried my head against his neck and let out a tiny scream. My breath came out in short and soft pants and my body shivered and tensed against him as he pulled me even closer.
After a good long moment, my heartbeat slowed a little and let out a ragged sigh. I felt a chuckle escape his lips and I couldn't help but mimic the sound, even though my head was spinning. His placed a gentle kiss on the side of my neck and whispered. "Are you OK?"
I laughed a little louder. "Um...yeah, I'm fine...that was...wow"
"I hope you don't think I'm done with you yet."
"I would hope not." I said and pulled myself back to look into his eyes. "I just...don't understand...why..."
His eyes studied my face for a few seconds before he kissed my forehead. "It's complicated."
I raised an eyebrow. "Complicated?"
Her smiled. "I want you to know right now, you are a beautiful woman and don't think for a second I haven't noticed." He licked his lips before continuing. "You've gone through a lot and I just thought..."
"You thought you could take advantage of a emotionally vulnerable young woman, who just lost her father. Fucking classy." I said half teasing, yet half serious. Was that all this was? A pity fuck? "I have a bit of a track record with the men in my life using me for a lot less worthy causes."
His lips were on mine again, gently and slowly. When he pulled back, it was only so he could whisper, "Then I'll just have to make it worth it won't I."
Part of me was offended, like...who the hell does Shane think he is or who exactly he thought I was. But the other part of me decided, well fuck it. It's just sex, I held no expectation of us doing anything beyond this. As sad as it sounded, I was used to being alone and I had no intention of changing that with my next-door neighbor. Instead, it would be something that I felt we both needed in that exact moment. Funny how that plan rarely ever fucking works out for both parties involved.
