My Son(38)

As she pulled back into the drive, she was surprised to see Marc’s car parked in its usual place. Leaving the picture safely tucked away in her trunk she had retrieved the photographs in their pack and entered the villa.

She had then gone looking for Beth and Max hearing no sound, and after trying the kitchen she had moved into the study. However it was Marc she had found, stood by the window looking out having not heard her enter, and Kelly had frozen. Dressed in a suit he had the jacket pushed back his hands stuffed into his trouser pockets as it accentuated his long lean body, and against her will Kelly had remembered what it was like to have that body pressed against hers, her insides jumping once more at the memory. His top button was undone and his tie had been pulled down in obvious frustration, and she could feel herself react to how sensual he looked with his fringe falling over his dark eyes as she had shivered feeling herself becoming aroused. Obviously deep in thought his handsome face set in a frown he had finally sensed her presence, slowly turning to face her

“Kelly..”

She had smiled nervously moving further into the room

“Sorry…didn’t mean to disturb you”

He had laughed quickly at some secret thought

“Not a problem” he said

With relief Kelly had thankfully noted that his mood from the previous day had seemed to have disappeared

“I was looking for Beth and Max”

“I’m just in myself. They’re outside. I was just watching them in the garden” giving her a warm smile, which once more had set her pulse racing as he had motioned for her to join him

Moving over to the window beside him she had looked out and sure enough Beth and Max were outside in the garden. Max was in his play area loading the ball gun and giggling with joy as he fired the balls out, Beth delighting him by pretending to be shot by each and every one which flew out.

Kelly had laughed, but feeling Marc moving closer behind her she had started to feel herself respond to his closeness, small goose bumps rising on her skin. Shivering softly she could feel him as he had whispered gently against her ear, his breath softly moving her hair.

“He looks so happy”

Kelly was rooted to the spot as her whole body had jumped with sensations, and her mouth had became suddenly very dry

“Y..yes” she replied, knowing she had to get away, feeling the effect he was having on her as she had moved forward, turning to face him not realising how flushed she had become as Marc had watched her reactions and moved closer towards her

“Heard from Phil today” he had asked innocently as Kelly had moved slowly backwards to match his movements

“Yes, he phoned earlier” she managed her voice husky and shaky

“Ah” he replied “that was nice”

“Yes” she nodded again, becoming increasingly aware of how close he now was.

Stepping back again she had came into contact with the hard wood of the desk and suddenly there was nowhere else to go. Searching around her for anything to come between them as he continued moving forwards she had held up the pack of pictures in her hand

“I picked up some pictures today.. They include Max’s birthday” Kelly was aware that she was babbling, as so calmly he had taken the pack from her fingers his eyes never leaving hers.

“Thanks, mind if I look at them later” his voice almost a whisper as he had leant in closer to her so that he could place the pack on the desk. She had stood rigid trying hard not to let him see how much her body was screaming at her to move in closer and harder against him

“Kelly, can I give you some advice”

By now he was only inches from her, as she had nodded not fully aware of his words as his closeness had sent small tremors all over her body

“Phil is still in love with Theresa”

Kelly frowned, not fully understanding what he was saying

“Getting involved with him wouldn’t be a good idea”

“We’re not…” she had managed in confusion as he had continued

“I’m only saying this because I don’t want to see you getting hurt”

“Marc, Phil and I are only friends” she responded although her voice had come out almost a squeak as his fingers had moved to push a wayward hair from her cheek, causing an electric current to pass down her to the pit of her stomach. As his eyes burnt into hers she could feel herself drowning in those dark pools, and without realising her lashes had lowered as she looked at his lips. Hearing him draw a soft breath she had quickly looked up finding his eyes were similarly lowered watching hers. She could see his head coming down towards her as the door of the library had burst open, the two of them quickly moving apart as Beth and Max had noisily entered the room.
