“I still owe her an ice cream,” I said. “I enjoyed it, too. Thanks for agreeing to come out with me. We should do it again sometime. Start with the ice cream maybe.”
“Sure.” She stopped and ran her hand over her long ponytail, bringing it forward over her shoulder as she glanced around the room. “Are you really alone here? It’s so weird when there are no other people around.”
“Yeah, it’s not often this quiet in here. Are you done with your shift?”
She nodded. “I wanted to come up earlier, but we were slammed downstairs all day. I’m glad I caught you before you left.”
“You could’ve just texted me,” I suggested. “You didn’t have to come all the way up here.”
Something unfamiliar sparked in the green depths of her irises. Well, it wasn’t entirely unfamiliar. I just hadn’t seen it from her before. If I was right, it was heat radiating from her gaze as she dragged it down the length of my body.
My cock, still excited from the almost-fantasies of getting her out of the uniform, twitched when her eyes lingered on that area. When she brought them back to mine, there was a sassy smile playing on her lips. “What if I didn’t text you because I wanted to see you instead of just messaging you. Would that be a problem?”
“Definitely not.” My voice came out rougher than usual.
April must have noticed because she suddenly started walking slowly toward me with a little bit of a sway in her hips. “You mentioned the other day that some of your exercises are good for anyone. Care to show me some? I’ve been a little stiff lately. Maybe you’ve got something to help me unwind.”
“What did you have in mind?” I asked, watching her approach with my gaze roaming openly and unashamedly across all the places I hadn’t let it linger on before.
Even if this wasn’t going where I thought it might be, it was only fair. She sure wasn’t making a secret about checking me out.
Scrubs did nothing to hide a hard-on the size of the one I was growing. If she came much closer, she would see exactly what effect she was having on me but I couldn’t say I really cared.
I was attracted as fuck to this woman, and if she’d come up in here with any kind of intention of seducing me, which seemed to be the case, I wasn’t about to say no. Placing my palms on either side of my hips, I splayed my fingers on the plastic and dug my nails into it to keep from reaching for her when she came to a standstill inches away from me.
Eyes locked on mine, she shrugged and flicked her hand in a careless wave. “I didn’t really have anything in mind, but this seems like an opportunity too good to pass up. It’s never this empty around here, with not even Hunter being around.”
“Got it.” So she hadn’t come up here to seduce me. I couldn’t deny that I was a little disappointed about it, but I could live with making the most of the opportunities life handed us. “If I remember correctly, the exercises I mentioned before were stretching exercises.”
“Yeah, I think so.” Her voice, like mine, was definitely husky now. She swiped her tongue across her lips and my cock strained against my pants in response. “Care to show me which ones might help? I know you’re off the clock, so it’s fine if you’d rather I come back another time.”
“Nope.” I jumped off the mats and strode toward the door, calling to her over my shoulder. “Turn around. I’m just going to lock the door to make sure no one interrupts our private session. I don’t mind helping you out while I’m off the clock, but I’m not available to anyone else right now.”
It would kill the mood to sit her down and have a talk about what we both so clearly wanted to do, but I needed her to know that if this happened, I remembered her comments about not playing games and I wasn’t planning on sleeping with anyone else while we weren’t playing those games.
“I’m off the clock, too,” she said, and her voice was laden with enough meaning that I knew she’d caught my drift. “So I’m not available to anyone else either.”
“Good to know.” The sound of the lock clicking into place echoed in the room, but instead of it spurring
