for earlier, for how I made you feel, for causing you pain.”
“Why are you here?” she asked, her eyes settling upon his gaze. She wanted him here, had yearned for him, but now he was here she could only ready herself for the pain his departure would cause again. “I love that you are. I can’t believe you are here either, but why?”
“Why?” he asked her back, chuckling at how lost she seemed to be. “I’m here because the woman I love is over two hundred miles away and all I’ve done is make you feel like I’m making a new life without you.” Gently he lifted his hand, gliding it along her jaw line so he could caress her check, keeping it cupped in his palm, “I’ve deliberately drowned myself in work so I couldn’t think of you. Earlier, we were sorting a presentation out for Monday morning, but after our chat I couldn’t focus. George understood. He pushed me to come here. It felt like fate that there was a train available.”
“I think I like fate,” Amber whispered at him, a small smile creeping along her lips. “Oh, yeah, I really like fate.” She then reached up to kiss him, “Now can we go back in, I want to dance with you.”
“In this dress, I am not letting you out of my sight,” he told her, acting feral over the matter. “Only for my hands,” he told her, placing his hands on either side of her arse, gripping tightly to make her yelp in excited pleasure. “Then tonight I plan to blow that alcohol out of your system.”
“Is that a challenge?” she asked him, her eyes glistening as she neared his face, wanting a kiss before they went back into the club.
“One that I’ve already accepted,” he told her confidently.
Amber giggled as he took her hand in a tight grip and dragged her towards the main road. As they got to the light at the end of the alley, Connor stopped, a feral growl erupting from him and he pushed Amber against the wall again and began to kiss her vehemently, his tongue pushing for access while his hand groped her. Her arms snaked around his neck, pulling him in tight, keeping the kiss heavy and heated; igniting their bodies as they carried on.
Amber felt the wall behind her, but she never saw Ethan staring on, watching the sight of her in the arms of the man she loved.
Ethan watched as they ate at each other like animals and turned away disgusted that he wished it was him. "I came to find you," he said as he watched the couple come apart at the sound of his voice.
Amber pulled down her dress in nervousness as Ethan turned away. "Connor’s here," she pointed at Connor and he grabbed her hand when she nearly hit him in the face.
"I can see that," Ethan said shrugging his hands into his jeans.
"I came to find you when you disappeared on us at the club. I was worried," he turned to walk back to the club but thought twice and turned back. "I'm going home. Bye, Amber. Connor," he acknowledged and pulled out his phone to dial a cab.
Amber sighed and leant into Connors chest embarrassed at what Ethan just had to witness. She buried her face in his crisp white shirt and breathed in his strong aftershave.
He wrapped his arms around her and let her feel his embrace, let it comfort her. "I'm going home tomorrow," he whispered into her hair and he felt her body become heavier against him.
"Okay." She whispered against him.
" Wanna go home? To our bed?"
"Yes please."

The taxi ride home was long and expensive, but having Amber fall asleep in his arms brought him a sense of adoration, especially for her.
"Baby we're here," he whispered as he shook her gently. Stroking her cheek as she awoke, she grumbled and lifted herself from the comfy position she was in.
"That'll be thirty quid mate," muttered a rough voice from the taxi driver. Connor watched as Amber scrambled in her purse for excess change as he handed the driver a £50 note. He handed Connor the £20 change and he touched Amber's arm to alert her.
"Babe you ready?" She looked up at Connor,
