^“Yeah, I will come straight away,” I say to my sister on the phone as she asks me to come and watch the kids for the night as her boss has called her into work. She can’t say no because she can’t risk getting fired. I’ve suggested she quit her job a few times, but she won’t, and she won’t let me help her with money. I can’t make her leave that shit job at a bar in town that she works at. I only wish it wasn’t tonight that her boss had decided to be a dickhead.

“Okay, you sure? I know you had a date today,” Jude says.

“I’m sure, don’t worry about it. I’ll be there in fifteen,” I say, and she says goodbye after apologising again. My date in question walks into the living room, looking stunning enough to shock me into silence. Ellie has a small, black dress on, black heels, and her hair is wavy as it falls down her back.

“Todd?” she asks gently. I clear my throat as I stand up and pick the roses up off the counter. I offer them to her, and her cheeks go as red as the roses.

“They’re beautiful, I can’t remember the last time someone brought me flowers,” she says as she accepts them and smells them.

“Okay, I have some bad news,” I eventually say after clearing my throat and her beautiful brown eyes meet mine over the roses.

“What’s up?” she asks as she puts the roses on the side table.

“My sister has been called into work and needs me to watch the kids as her babysitter can’t,” I say, and Ellie nods.

“Give me a second to change into something a little more comfy, and then we can go,” she smiles, and I’m shocked by her answer.

“You don’t have to, I’m sure one of the other guys would happily take you out. I would ask one of them to watch the kids, but Harry isn’t feeling well so it needs to be me,” I say, holding back the disappointment in my voice.

“I want to spend tonight with you. I don’t care what we do as long as it’s with you,” she says, and I don’t stop as I walk over to her. I slide my hand into her hair and pull her lips to mine. She gasps, but doesn’t pull away as I take her lips. She melts into my body with each kiss, and her hands slide up my chest. I move my hands down her back, feeling every soft part of her until I find her hips and lift her onto the counter. I move closer as her legs part around my waist as our kisses get more frantic. I have to move away from her lips to kiss down her jaw, gently sucking on her neck which makes her moan out in pleasure. I run my hand up her thigh and pause, leaning back to watch as she nods. I kiss her deeper as I move my hand to her wet, lacy underwear and move them aside. She bucks against my hand with a moan as I press down on her clit and start moving my thumb in circular motions. I kiss her more as I slowly insert a finger inside of her, her moans getting louder and making me feel like coming in my pants like a teenager. She buries her head into my neck as I move my finger in and out of her, feeling how incredibly tight she is. I move my thumb around her clit at the same time, her moans are getting louder. Enough that I’m sure someone in the house heard her.

“Todd, Todd, Todd,” she moans as she comes, her body arching, and her channel squeezing my finger like a vice. I move my hand away from her, and she stares at me, before gently kissing me and running her hand over my dick that’s tenting my trousers.

“We have to go, but thank you for giving me that,” I tell her.

“Don’t you want me to?” she asks, and I shake my head. Seeing her like that is enough of a reward, and I wouldn’t last long if she tried to touch me now.

“Not tonight, tonight was for you,” I say and gently kiss her. I turn around to see Kaiden just as he walks into the room. He looks between Ellie and me, most likely seeing my tented trousers and Ellie’s flushed cheeks.

“Aren’t you two meant to be going out?” he asks, without a sign of jealously, but he does wink at me, while Ellie slides off the counter. I watch in amusement as she tries to pull her dress down and sort out her now messed-up hair.

“I’m going to change into something more suitable for your sister’s,” she says walking past me. I grab her arm and pull her to me. I gently kiss her, and she blushes.

“Go on,” I say, and she walks away, slower this time. I watch her lovely bum in the tight dress until I can’t see her anymore.

“Why are you taking Ellie to your sister’s?” Kaiden asks me, choosing not to comment on what he walked in on. I’m thankful and surprised it’s not weirder between us.

“Her boss,” I say as I take my jacket off. I’m dressed in a full suit for the nice meal I had planned for tonight.

“Again? What a dick. Do you want me to watch the kids?” Kaiden shakes his head as he pulls a bottle of water out of the fridge. Yeah, I know what he means, Jude’s boss doesn’t care that Jude has kids at home. I seriously need to go and have a word with him.

“Nah, thanks man, it needs to be me. Harry has a cold and isn’t well,” I say, and Kaiden nods, understanding.

“Have a good night,” Kaiden says.

“I will and thanks,” I say as he walks to the conservatory and stops to look over his shoulder at me.

“For what?” he asks.

“For not being awkward about what you walked in on,” I reply.

“It wasn’t awkward, seeing Ellie like that was fucking hot,” Kaiden chuckles and walks out of the room.

Kaiden is damn right, it was.
