Accident Prone

In smaller groups, people entered the VIP room to see the baby, wish the new parents all the best, and they swiftly dispersed after taking a few photos because Sabrina needed to rest and the family of three wanted to bond.

Ashton stepped out to thank everyone for sticking around.

"Ash, we will be back in the morning before work.", Max said. "If you need anything, you know my number."

Everyone else echoed Max's words. Not about coming in the morning, but about offering their help. Ashton was grateful that they have so much support. With his family far away (other than Angela), he feared that it will be only him and Sabrina (well, Madeline and Nathan also).

Ashton assured everyone that they have things figured out and that for the first week he will be home with Sabrina and they will prioritize resting. They were all aware that Madeline can't be repelled from her grandson by any reasoning, but others understood that until Ashton and Sabrina settle in their roles as parents, unless they get a call for help, new parents will prefer their privacy.

Max, Hunter, Quentin, Liz, Mia, and Brianna left, and Ashton looked at his sister. He heard from Sabrina that Andrea gave her a ride together with Angela and Liz.

"Angela, with Andrea gone, how will you go back home?"

Ashton was thinking of calling a cab for Angela or maybe asking Nathan to drop her off. Ashton was aware that Angela is fairly new to a big city like Seattle and bus is not a good option considering that she would need to switch between a few.

"I can give her a ride.", Derek offered to what Angela's breath hitched.

Ashton scrutinized Derek. "You are on a motorcycle." Derek's outfit was a giveaway.

Derek shrugged like it's not a big deal. "I will give her my helmet and drive carefully."

Ashton didn't like that idea. Motorcycles are not safe, and he didn't like the idea of his little sister clinging to Derek. "I will call you a cab…"

"No need.", Angela cut him off. "I mean… I'm fine with the motorcycle. Don't worry about me, I am a big girl. Go and be with your wife and son."

Ashton reluctantly agreed. He glared at Derek. "Keep in mind that she is my sister." Without waiting for a response from Derek, Ashton turned to Angela. "If all goes well, we will return home tomorrow afternoon. There are leftovers in the fridge if you don't feel like cooking. Stay safe."

"She will be safe with me, Ash…", Derek said with a smile that made Angela's heart flip.

…

About half an hour later, in Sabrina's and Ashton's apartment…

"What do you want to drink?", Angela asked Derek.

Derek gave her a devilish smile while removing his black leather jacket. "What can you offer me?"

'Myself…' She cleared her throat at the sight of his toned torso which was not well concealed by his gray t-shirt. With those arms, she was sure that he can carry her around like she weighs nothing.

Angela reminded herself that they were talking about beverage options. "Coffee, tea, sparkling water, orange juice…"

"Do you have a beer?"

"I will need to check on that.", Angela said and scurried to the kitchen.

She opened the fridge and stuck her head inside, taking deep breaths of cold air to calm her raging emotions.

Angela's palms still brimmed from the sensation of holding onto Derek's firm abs during their motorcycle ride from the hospital. He didn't zip his jacket and his cotton t-shirt allowed her to feel his lustful-inducing landscape fully and she was aware that her thighs squeezed him more than necessary, but there was nothing she could do about it. The guy is squeezable and she would like to squeeze him all over.

Angela was aware that the drive took more than twenty minutes, but it felt like it was twenty seconds.

When he dropped her off, she asked if he wants to come up for a drink and he accepted with his signature smile which threw her into a daze.

Since she is crashing at Ashton's and Sabrina's place, Mike and Jake visited a few times, and Angela met them. She heard about Derek, but today was the first time she met him in person. Angela was not sure if he visited or not because lately she is busy at the FD Studios, so maybe he stopped by while she was at work.

Angela can't believe that she is alone in the apartment with the man who is so handsome that he makes her have sinful thoughts without even trying, and she is sure he is the Devil himself.

"Any luck?", Derek's question made Angela jolt.

"Aww!", she exclaimed when she bumped her head on the top shelf of the fridge.

Before Angela realized what is going on, Derek's strong arm snaked around her waist, pulling her back and she was facing him.

"Are you OK?", he asked while examining her now flushed face.

'Close… too close…' She gulped softly when she felt that his arm is still around her, but the only thing that bothered her were those few inches of distance between them. "I'm fine. It seems we are out of beer. I am not much of a drinker, and Ash and Rina don't drink because of the pregnancy."

He smirked, enjoying how fast she spoke because it told him that she was nervous. "You are more than fine, Angela. If you are out of beer, is there something else you can offer me?"

"What do you have on your mind?", she asked in a high-pitched voice as he pulled her closer and their bodies stuck together. She arched her back slightly so that she can look into his face. 'The maker took extra time to chisel his handsome features...'

He licked his lips slowly. "I was hoping for something stronger than orange juice."

Angela could not stop staring at Derek's lips which were curved into a wicked smile. She was slightly dizzy, and she inhaled deeply to get more air, but the only thing she got was his masculine perfume. 'My God! This man smells like sin!'

Derek inched toward Angela slowly and she had no intention of backing away. Partly because her body was non-responsive, and partly because she really-really wanted to be close to Derek. So close that there was no air between them. Her whole body buzzed due to his proximity, and she never felt anything like that.

"Baby, if you want me to stop, now is a good time to tell me.", Derek's hot breath splashed against Angela's lips, and in response, she wrapped her arms around his neck, got on her toes, and closed the last fraction of space between them.

Angela felt Derek's lips nudge against hers, gently at first. And then he took her lower lip between his and sucked on it while brushing it with his tongue, sending electric sparks through Angela's body that made her melt in his arms.

Angela's mind scattered, leaving only thoughts about Derek's presence which engulfed her, and she was confident that he is the definition of sin because there was no other way to explain the needy heat which pooled at her core.

She had no idea how they reached from the kitchen to the sofa in the living room, but he was on top of her, kissing her reasoning away.

Angela whimpered when he deepened the kiss. There are kisses that can touch someone's heart, but Derek's kiss shook Angela's soul.

Angela dated a few guys, so this was not her first time to be kissed, but compared to Derek's kisses, all others were no better than kissing a spoon.

Derek used his lips and his tongue to kiss her thoroughly, and he ignited the flames within her she was not aware existed.

For Angela, everything was new, yet so natural. When his hand sneaked under her shirt and he cupped her breast, she didn't reject this unfamiliar sensation because it felt just right. Oh, God! Everything about Derek was just right, even though she knew that it was wrong at the same time.

Derek sucked on her neck while unbuttoning her shirt and she arched her back to make it easier for him to remove the pesky garment.

Derek got on his knees and in one swift move removed his t-shirt, revealing his toned torso.

Angela admired the way his muscles rippled as he breathed. Oh, my… Derek is a fine specimen, and his toned body that is not too bulky told Angela that he shaped it over the years with an active lifestyle, and not in a gym while drinking protein shakes.

Derek took in her appearance and his erection strained against his pants. Her hazel eyes were full of desire, small nose, full lips that were swollen from the kissing and slightly parted… golden brown hair sprawled on the sofa behind her… her breasts that rose as she breathed heavily… magnificent. One look at her made him aroused beyond belief and he could not wait to sink himself inside her tender flesh.

Her face was flushed from excitement and lust and she blushed fiercely when she met his starving gaze directed at her perky nipples that were protruding through the fine fabric of her pink bra.
