3. I have to have her

** Tom **

It was 4:00am. I swapped my usual attire for a high vis shirt. It’d been a while since I was actually on site. The new development had been going along well and I wanted to see how it was progressing. I also wanted to make sure the workers were happy. Something I felt was important.

Before I built this company up, I was on the tools. A few good investments landed me here. But sometimes I missed the tools.

Brad was my best mate, and supervisor for the site. He would be here just after 4:30am.

He’d been my mate ever since we were kids. Unlike me, he’d made a few poor investments.

He had a family though so I tried to help him out and gave him this job. Not that he wasn’t qualified. He just had to stay sober.

We got to site and I walked around. Meeting some of the workers and checking out their progress. It was going super well. This was one of my more successful developments and would turn a 7 digit profit

“Alright, smoko lads”, Brad yelled across the level we were currently on.

We arrived at a cafe not far from site. The waitress was noticeably checking me out, but I paid no attention. I wore a bucket hat so people wouldn’t recognise me. Ever since that last article came out, it was like women were lining up. Not that I wasn’t interested. I just knew what I wanted.

We’d finished our coffee when I heard this car pull up. Two girls got out of the car, but it was the passenger that caught my eye.

She had Sandy blonde beach hair. She had rather full breasts which thoughts of sucking them and slapping them instantly flooded my head. And her ass.. I couldn’t stop staring.

I noticed Ben was checking out her mate. Despite being married, he never really cared for Izzy. She was nice but he accidentally knocked her up and got married as the right thing to do. He’d often fool around and she’d turn a blind eye as she knew she wouldn’t have this lifestyle she had without him. I didn’t agree with it, but what was I to tell my mate what he could and couldn’t do.

She finally looked over at me and our eyes locked. I didn’t look away. Her eyes were the deepest blue and she had this aurora of innocence. Fuck. I wanted her. Then and there. But I couldn’t force this onto her.

We were running late as I realised I’d spent way too long staring at this woman.

“Mate we gotta head back. I’ll grab the truck and meet you at the front if you want to get her number”. Brad must have noticed i had been staring too.

The way her lips parted as the cup reached her mouth… the thoughts I was having. I walked over to her and asked for her number. She was shy, luckily her friend wasn’t and instantly gave me her number.

Brad pressed the horn to let me know he was out the front. I ran over to Brad after saying something about a double date.

She’ll never go for this. She wouldn’t be into this. All she could say was “oh”, and it echoed in my head for the whole day.

Maybe I shouldn’t message her. It didn’t stop me from wanting her though. Oh how I wish it was my name she was yelling instead. Fuck.

- Saturday night -

I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I’ll just message her and see what she’s doing.

‘Sent’

My phone went off shortly after. I didn’t expect the picture that accompanied the reply. It was a picture of Anna in a gold dress with a split that went right up to her hip. She posed seductively and I wondered if it were actually Anna who had sent the message. I noticed the choker around her neck and it Instantly grabbed my attention. I need to have her.

I grabbed my wallet and headed for the door. I’d have the driver take me considering I’d had a couple of drinks already. The name of the club was included in the text with the picture. I’d find her there.

I walked into the club with ease. The bouncer recognised me Instantly. “Right this way Mr Conor.”.

I went to a bar close by to the area noticeably sectioned off for a 21st. But my eyes were pulled to the dance floor. There she was in that alluring gold dress that hugged her in all the right places and exposing her hips and breasts.

I stayed calm. But on the inside I just wanted to make her mine. She spotted me and to my satisfaction she was walking over to me.

I could tell she was drunk. Mmm nothing could happen tonight. I ordered a glass of water with some lime. I knew Anna was beyond the point of return but still I’d look after her tonight. Not because I was a nice guy, but the thought of anyone else touching her sent me mad.

And in that dress she was irresistible. She was blind to all the stares she got as she glided across the room to me.

“Did you come to wish me a happy birthday?”, the words left her succulent lips as she traced her hand over my chest.

Chills ran down my back. I handed her the glass of water eager to maintain my composure.

Before too long her friend who I recognised as Mae came over. She had met someone on the dance floor and was eager to leave. Part of me thought she’d actually be just the right amount of crazy for Brad.

I let her know I’d look after Anna who was quite intoxicated at this stage. I had a trusting aurora and Mae bid her goodbyes. One of her other friends kept staring at me and gave me the feeling she wasn’t as trusting, and she was right not to trust me. The things I wanted to do to Anna, with Anna.

Anna noticed I told Mae I’d look after her and in a cute but flirty tone mentioned it to me. “Yes. Dressed like that I can’t have anyone just claiming you”.

I noticed her arousal at my response and thought perhaps she would be okay with the way I was. But right now she was drunk and I needed to get her home before someone tried to take advantage of her.

She fell asleep in my lap on the car ride back to my apartment. She looked so cute all curled up. My eyes deepened at the thought. I’d make her mine.
