Shannon and Colin found a quiet table in the corner of Code Blue. It was late, or early, depending on how one interprets 2:30 am to be. Shannon slid into the booth and Colin nudged her so he could fit in beside her.
She waved to the server, Dan, as he approached the table.
"Hi Shannon, how's things at the ER? Hello Mr. Farrell. What can I get you tonight?"
"Dan, things are calming down, and I have a week off. Let's start this party right and get me a Harp's. Colin? How about you?"
He was watching her with a bemused smile. She could handle any situation it seemed. Made him feel happy to have been hit on the head with a chair.
"I'll have a beer, doesn't matter what. Can we still order some food? I'm starving!"
Dan nodded. Colin and Shannon ordered some wings and sat back, waiting for their food.
Colin leaned over and started to nuzzle her neck. She wondered to herself how could he know just the places that drove her mad? Was she like all other women, or did he sense it?
She found herself becoming oblivious to her surroundings, the background noises of the bar fading. Only the sensations of touching, and being touched by this man existed.
Her hand dropped to his thigh, stroking it lightly. Colin sighed as her fingers trailed higher, nails scratching over his awakening hard-on. He pulled her closer to him, licking her ear while covertly caressing her breast.
Shannon moaned softly as he continued to tease her now-erect nipple. His cock grew harder as her fingers massaged through his jeans.
Colin was acutely aware of his "condition".
"Woman, you're driving me mad crazy here. All I wanna do is throw you down on this benchβ¦" His voice trailed off as Dan returned with their drinks.
Colin sat up abruptly and grabbed the mug, downing about half the brew in a few gulps. He needed to get his wits about him. Sweet Jaysus, what was this lass doing to him?
Shannon smoothed her T-shirt and took a long draught from her own mug. By the gods, she was gonna have this man and it was gonna happen tonight!
Their eyes met over the rims of the mugs, and both had a fit of the giggles.
"Girl, you're absolutely unreal. I don't think I can remember a time when I wanted to rip the clothes off someone in the middle of a pub as much as I do right now."
Colin shivered when Shannon leaned forward to whisper in his ear.
