~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Shit!"
The curse and a clatter of boxes, and the objects they held, hit the side of the wall and floor.
"No it's fine.....ugh.... Just dropped the boxes I was carrying........ No, I said I got it....... Look I'll call you later...... Yeah. Bye"
The voice muffled through the walls. More noise. Stuff being dropped back into the boxes. Frustrated huffs. Whomever was out in the hallway was having a difficult day it seemed.
Finally curiosity got the better of him.
As he made it to his own door. More noises emitted from the hall. More curses. Someone's body connects with the wood of the door. And apparently sliding down it to sit on the floor.
Matthew opened his own door.
"Rough night?"
A heavy sigh and a dull this as if she had lifted her head just briefly and let it fall back again.
"You could say that. Sorry if I woke you."
The quick inhale and muttered curse told him her eyes must've been closed before.
And her heart rate did jump up in pace just a little. She seemed to give him a good once over look before pushing herself up from the floor.
"It's fine. I was up anyway."
The smirk on his lips had her heart rate up a bit more.
"You just move in?"
It took her a second to realize he had spoken again. She caught herself staring.
The dark grey sweatpants he had on set low on his hips. And the tee shirt fit just right across his chest.
She swallowed thickly and had to clear her throat before she could answer.
"Yeah. Um. Yesterday. Last of the stuff today. Not my day really. Locked myself out..second day and I locked myself out."
She scrubbed at her eyes a little and pinched the bridge of her nose.
'Great.. Rambling to the new, really hot neighbour... Smooth Alex'
"Shit... I'm sorry. I tend to ramble when I'm tired."
He chuckled and leaned more into the door frame crossing his arms across his chest.
"So not just a rough night then?”
She scoffed and leaned back against the wall. "Nah, more like a week."
She tried not to stare. Her mother had always taught her not to. But the man was built. Not overly so. And his hair was ruffled like he had run his hands through it. The way his head tilted sometimes reminded her of a dog she had as a kid. Cute. The scruff that covered his jaw. The red tinted glasses had slid a little ways down his nose but not enough to see what color his eyes were. Something which Alex found herself getting more curious about. Why the glasses for one.
"So you managed to lock yourself out right? Do you have a couple bobby pins?"
She was too busy staring at his lips when his tongue swept out to wet them to hear what he said.
"Sorry what?"
One eyebrow quirked up over the frame of his glasses and that Damn smirk was back.
"Hair pins? Or wait. I probably have a couple paperclips inside. Do you wanna?"
He gestured inside. Her bottom lip pulled in between her teeth. He caught scratch of her nail against the seam of her shorts. A couple nervous habits he guessed.
"Sure. Um yeah. Thanks."
Matt stepped back a little to leave room for her to go past.
His apartment was dark save for a myriad of lights coming in through the living room window.
"Wow... That's uh... Hell of a view you got."
He chuckled. Pulling a couple paper clips from the stacks of files sitting on his coffee table.
"Yeah. Had a few tell me it's pretty bad. Good thing though. Cheaper rent."
She turned away from the window to say something else but stopped.
It dawned on her then and she felt stupid for not noticing it sooner.
'Shit. He's blind. The glasses make sense now.'
"I uh.. Shit. Sorry. I didn't realize..."
He broke into a grin and ducked his head down as one hand went up to scratch at the nape of his neck.
"It's okay. I mean I don't start out with ' Hey names Matt. Oh yeah I'm blind too.' It's nothing to worry about. I'm used to it."
"Matt? Short for Matthew I take it."
Her tone was different. Bit lower. Flirty.
He chewed on his bottom lip a bit before nodding.
Her body temp jumped. Heart rate too.
"Alex."
He nodded back towards the door. That smirk back on his lips.
"Well Alex... Shall we see about getting you back into your apartment?"
Back out in the hallway. He crouched down in front of her door. Balanced on the balls of his feet, the sweats he wore pulled tights against all the right places. Alex caught herself staring at his thighs and backside more than twice. The way the muscles in his arms and back moved. The way his bottom lip pulled in between his teeth.
She watched as he bent the two paper clips.
"Wait. So how does this work? A blind guy picking a lock."
A smile pulled at his lips.
"You'd be amazed at how much the other senses take over to fill in for one that's lost."
His head dipped low close to the door. She quieted down to let him work and just watched as his hands worked. The way his tongue came out to wet his chapped lips.
The subtle tilting of his head. A small, barely audible whine passed her lips without her really even noticing. The smirk followed by the low chuckle caught her attention.
"You sure make it difficult to concentrate Alex."
She leaned into the wall. Ankles crossed. Arms crossed over her chest. Thoughts that would make her mother kick her running rampant through her mind.
"Hey. You're the one practically on his knees."
The words left her mouth before she could even process the thought. And when her brain finally caught up to her mouth, her hand came up quick to cover her lips. Her face redder than the fire extinguisher down the hall.
"Oh my god. I uh.. Wow okay."
He had stopped messing with the lock when she had made the comment. Unable to stop himself from laughing.
"On a roll tonight huh?"
All she could do was groan in embarrassment and laugh a little in response.
Matt shook his head and went back to working on getting her into her apartment.
apartment.
Finally with a few more subtle twists of the clips he was in.
"There we are."
She squealed happily which only made the smile on his face get brighter.
"Oh god you're incredible! I could almost kiss you!"
He bent down and picked up the box she had dropped earlier and held it out to her.
"It's nothing. Anything I can do to keep a pretty girl from being stuck out in the cold."
She ducked her face down, blushing. "How do you.."
"And yeah. I know. It's the voice. And your laugh. That's how I know. Beautiful. But I think trouble too."
She stepped closer to take the box from him. Her hands brushed across the top of his.
"I know it's late. But would you maybe wanna come in? For a drink I mean. Least I can do for you, help me."
He chuckled and that smirk that made her knees a little weak was back.
"I mean unless it's too late. I'm sure you gotta get up early."
He could hear the backpedaling tone.
"I'd love to."
The quick intake of a breath. Heart rate spiked. And maybe a little something else he noticed earlier when he was picking the lock. Arousal.
She led him into the apartment and over to the barstool she had set up.
"Similar setup to your place. Just without the roof access."
After pulling two beers from the fridge and passing on to him, she moved to the other stool. Her blood ran hotter watching him. She only prayed he couldn't hear how badly her heart raced. But it was almost like he could. And knew it. He knew it was and was toying with her alittle. Course for whatever reason Alex almost wanted him to.
"Do you always wear those?"
Her question broke through the tension.
"No. But yeah most of the time. Sometimes uh.. People get a little uncomfortable."
She seemed to consider that comment for a moment.
He took this moment to take more of her in. The lingering scent of possibly her body wash from he guessed earlier that morning. Subtle so it took a second to pin down. O tea and cucumber. When she ran her hand through her hair he caught the scent of green apple too. All of this mixed with her own body chemistry was getting to his head a little.
"Can I ask what happened?"
He nodded more to himself. "Accident when I was a kid."
He caught the quiet gasp. He waited for a bit. She practically sat at the edge of the stool. She had more questions but didn't want to press the issue.
"Can I..?" The question breathy, fell away before she could finish. Her heart still pounded in her chest. She was nervous. Her hands shook just slightly.
"Hmm?"
With his elbows propped up on the bar. He turned his head towards her. Almost looking at her over the frame of his glasses.
He could hear how her breath shuddered from her mouth. He felt the temperature raise around her. Making the combination of scents that seemed uniquely her permeate the air.
"Could I see?... Your eyes I mean."
Matt sat his bottle gently on the counter. He took a deep breath, letting her scent invade him. His knee brushed hers bringing a gasp from her lips. Her body trembled.
With the only way he could see, small lightning flashes of fire danced around her.
He caught her hand that started to reach for him on his own. His thumb brushing the sensitive skin of her wrist as he brought it down to rest on his knee.
With his other, he reached up and slid the glasses off.
His eyes seemed to focus on a point just past her.
The ember color shone in the lamp light.
"Beautiful"
He could hear the smile in her voice.
"Been so long since I've seen my own reflection. Hard to remember the color."
She remained quiet. All except her breath that echoed from the mouth of the beer bottle she picked back up.
"Alex?"
"Hmm?"
Her response came out as more of a hum. She watched him as he moved slowly closer to her.
"Do you have any idea how badly I want to kiss you?"
The question didn't register in her brain for a second. All Alex knew was that she found herself sliding off the stool and stepping closer to him. His hand that had held hers and fallen to his knee had let go and was marking a path along her side.
From where she stood and when he tipped his head up it was almost like he really could see her. His eyes held hers in a sort of unfocused trance.
"Show me?"
She didn't mean for it to come out like a question. But before she could come up with anything else to make it sound like she wasn't some cheesy cliche, he pulled her closer with that hand at the small of her back.
His lips connected with hers. Not rushed by any means. His free hand had come up to rest at the nape of her neck, which he used to deepen the kiss when she stepped even closer. Her body almost burned pulled flush against his own.
He took his time. Just small and slow pulls at her lips. The tip of his tongue traced against hers when she pulled away but not out of reach.
Her fingers that rested on his thigh fisted in the fabric of his sweats. Her other hand in his chest.
Her breath mingled with his in short huffs. Her heart thundered in her chest threatening to burst. But in the short few moments she tired of the teasing.
He could tell in the change of her breath. The light nip of her teeth on his bottom lip.
It was at the moment, everything stopped. A noise broke through lust in both their minds. He didn't pay attention enough to place the tune. Just knew it wasn't his.
Her forehead against his. Her lips had stopped at the sound. A few muttered curses which caused him to chuckle.
"Give me just a sec."
He leaned in and kissed her gently.
She leaned in and moaned into the kiss. Her phone stopped. Only to go off again. This time she just pulled her phone from her pocket, glanced at it for just a second and pulled away just enough to answer.
"What?"
The frustration made him chuckle. He moved his attention from her mouth down her jaw.
"Seriously? No. Out of the question. Look I'm kinda busy."
Down from her jaw following the column of her throat. His hand traced down her spine. Bringing her closer. His other grasped at her hip. Her voice was getting breathy. Strained to keep some composure as he continued.
"Fuc.... Okay seriously if it's not life or death. Don't call for the next few hours okay. Bye."
The phone clattered to the counter and her focus was back on him. Her fingers moved up into his hair. Her short nails scraped a little against his scalp. A moan from him that she could almost feel. Her chest rose and fell in heavy pants.
Low whines left her mouth through her bitten bottom lip.
He shifted her body with the hold he had on her. His knee dropped and pushed its way between her thighs. Her shorts rode up. Her skin almost burned against his hand. The softness of her body is addicting.
He pulled her leg up. The new position and added pressure brought a gasp and loud moan from her lips.
Her thigh hitched up over his hip, using the stool leg as an anchor. All she wanted was to get her other leg around his hips and feel the effect she was having on him. Judging by the definite hard length against her thigh trapped between his, he was unlike anyone she had been with.
The thought sent a steady fire burning through her veins. Fueled by his hand and mouth on her. He seemed to have found a spot on her neck that he favored. And decided to leave a mark.
She clung to him. Her hips moving on their own against him. Or maybe his hands on her rocked her against him.
Either way it was almost too much.
"M... Matt I..."
His arm went around her back. Holding like a vise, pinned to him.
He had stopped kissing her too. His head tilted up, lips hovered just barely against her jaw. Brought so close to the edge and then for him to stop.
Her whole body shook, even her breath as her pulse raced.
Even his own breath came out in hot puffs against her jaw. His heart thundered in his own chest.
"Fuc...Matt."
She looked down at him. His eyes centered on her mouth. His own lips opened to say something but a chuckle came out instead of words.
"Alex..." He swallowed, licked his lips. "Do you want this?.. We can stop now. I'll go."
He held her. Both quiet except for their breathing.
Her eyes took in everything she could of his face. The deepness of his eyes. The scruff along his jaw. The redness of his lips.
" I.."
Just as she started to answer, her phone went off blaringly loud in the thick silence.
"God! Shit...What?"
Between the curse and her reaching and answering her phone, he still held her.
"Shit, sorry. Yeah I uh. Yeah sure. Give me a half hour?"
Her head dropped to his shoulder. Her fingers still in his hair scratched at his scalp lightly as she set the phone back down.
"Bad news?"
She huffed out a laugh. "Yeah. I gotta go. That was my um boss. One of the girls didn't show so I gotta go in."
He turned to kiss her neck lightly, humming a little against her skin causing her to shiver.
"So.. To be continued?"
He felt her head tip up as she brushed her lips against his throat. The small lick right before the kiss made him moan softly. His grip on her tightened.
"Most definitely to be continued. But you have to let me go for now."
Matt did so rather unwillingly. She took her time disentangling herself from him and stepped away.
She headed off in the direction of her bedroom to change.
"Where do you work? If you don't mind my asking."
A bit of shuffling. A couple dull thuds. Rustling of fabric.
"A bar. Figured I'm more of a night owl so I don't mind the late shifts. So dive bar down the block. Not the greatest joint but I guess it'll work."
"Which one? I might know it."
Her boots fell to the floor as she walked past her couch. Her jeans pulled tight as she sat down to put them on. Her shirt falling open to show the tank top she had slipped on.
"Murray's. Only one that would hire on short notice. I've only been back in the city a few days."
He turned his head towards her as she made her way back across the floor towards him. His hand met her hip as she stepped back into the space still open between his legs.
His other hand went up into her hair that was now loose around her shoulders.
The kiss was less urgent but still filled with heat.
She moaned against his lips. One arm wrapped around the back of his neck. The other hand at his waist. Fisting in the fabric.
Her phone went off again. But just briefly signally a text.
It was enough to get her attention though.
She pulled out of the kiss. Her head falling back while she stayed pressed against him.
Giving him full opportunity to kiss his way down her throat. His hands finding their way up to the edge of her shirt.
"You are making this very difficult Matthew."
The words that left her mouth mixed with a groan and heavy breaths.
He smirked against her skin. A low chuckle and he lifted his head just enough to speak.
"This is not my fault. Seems I've become a little addicted to the noises you make."
She stepped out of his arms, pulling him from the stool.
"Well. Let me get through this night that'll be filled with a bunch of assholes and cigarette smoke first. Then maybe we can see what other noises you can get outta me. Or maybe what I can get outta you."
Now she was teasing. Challenging him. And he was never one to let a challenge go unanswered.
Once outside her door, he waited while she locked up. But when she turned back to him he pulled her to him again. Close enough he could've crashed his lips to hers again but he stopped. Just a breath away.
"Keep this up Alex. You won't have a voice or be able to walk by the time I'm done. Now get outta here before I keep you for myself."
He pressed a brief kiss. His words had spiked almost every reaction her body could've made. Her heart pounded. Chest heaved with every breath. And her scent alone made even his head swim.
He pushed her back just a little to move her along. And only turned back to his own door when he heard her boots hit the sidewalk outside.
