(Love) Contract

Matt’s POV

I stared at Tara, standing close, if I would just hold my hand out I could wrap my fingers around her hair, feel the soft strands and let them glide through my fingers.
I could put my hands to her hips and pull her to my body, just with one move.
I could capture her lips with mine, taste her sweetness again, smell the sweet coconut smell that was already burned into my brain and would always remind me of her.
Stupid, right?
But then why couldn’t I go with the woman from the club? Why was the woman looking like a beauty to me but when compared to Tara, the girl I knew for one day and one night, she was a plain and not the least interesting to me anymore.
What did Tara have, that got my attention right from the start, and that I couldn’t let go of?
I step forward and she didn’t back away, she looked up to me, her breasts were brushing my naked chest.
I wished I could just pull that little dress of her body, let her turn around so I could take in her naked body from each angle.
“Matt?” Tara’s voice sounded husky and I knew if I would reply to her my own voice would sound hoarse.
I met her eyes and breathed deeply in and out before I said again “2 hours.”
With that I turned around letting her stand there alone, I walked fast to my room, slamming the door shut.
One more second I would have grabbed her and wouldn’t have cared that she was here for Brian, that she was here for a job, and not because I wanted to have my fun!
“FUCK!”
I couldn’t do it, it doesn’t matt how much I lusted after her. I had to treat her, like Brian’s girlfriend, or not Brian but I would ruin the entire plan.

I went to bed, 2 hours… 2 hours before I would meet her again, before we would fly back and I had to control myself again.
I just didn’t know why this was so hard… I mean she wasn’t the first girl where I felt a sudden attraction, but she was the only girl I couldn’t have.
Normally I would just go for it, try my luck, fuck her, she would be out of my head…
Would it be the same with Tara?
Was she even more attractive to me because she was the forbidden fruit?

I sat on my bed leaning my head against the headrest, then thinking better of it. I couldn’t sleep anyway, I looked at my watch it was 6 already, I could also go out for a small run in the morning.
I grabbed a muscle shirt and went outside.
Trying to clear my head and trying to forget about the girl who was lying in her bed only a few small feet away from my room.
Damn, this was really not working out.
I tried to shut out all the thoughts. When we were back I had to be normal again, I need to treat her like she really was Brian’s girlfriend.
I had to convince the others when we would meet again, that she really was Brian’s I couldn’t lust after her, the others would know something was wrong.
Even Jason already had a suspicion, why was this so complicated?

Tara’s POV

How could I sleep after seeing half naked sexy Matt standing in my room, his body brushing up against mine.
I could have sworn he would make a move, he would grab me, kiss me… I hoped he would
But he didn’t, he turned away without looking back.
I flinched when I heard his door slam shut. Why was he acting so weird?

On one moment he seemed to be all professional and just concerned for his best friend and on the other hand he was undressing me with his eyes and damn I couldn’t deny that I liked the way he was looking at me…
And I also couldn’t deny that I did the same with him… which wasn’t so much undressing needed on my part since he had been only wearing sweatpants and nothing else.
I licked my lips, damn.. all those tattoos and he was radiating so much heat, when I had touched his back and felt his soft skin but hard muscles underneath, my knees were getting weak.
Why didn’t he just kiss me?
No one would ever know… whatever had happened here, would stay between us…
That was unprofessional wasn’t it?
Did it change anything in the way I was thinking?
No, I mean… hell no!
I wasn’t his employee yet… I mean… that would change the situation, but right now…

I sighed heavily and buried my face in the pillow, this was ridiculous, why was I even thinking about this…
He was just too sexy for his own good and being around these three men got my hormones into running…
How could I not think about this?!
Ah fuck, I wouldn’t sleep anymore anyway, I could just get a shower, get out of this way too much showing dress and slip back into my old clothes and my sneakers, damn how I had been walking in these shoes the entire night was still a miracle to me.
Normally I don’t wear High Heels but Brian thought it was necessary to fit to the dress.

I went to the shower and let the hot water soak my exhausted body, maybe I could sleep a little during the flight.
The flight was only about 1 hour but at least an hour sleep would help me, if I could sleep…
And wouldn’t fall back in being a total wreck full of anxiety…
Ah damn it… why couldn’t we drive by car that way I didn’t have to be afraid and I could sleep.

When I was done with my shower I grabbed one of the big towels and wrapped myself around it.
I walked back to the bed and grabbed my phone.
I had some missed calls, from some people I wanted to talk to like my sister and others…

I decided to give my sister a small update and hoped she was awake already.
“DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?!” My sister yelled.
“What do you mean?”
“I found a note, with just a few words that you are off to freaking LAS VEGAS?” Cara yelled again.
“I had a job trial and needed to be in Vegas, I didn’t have much time to explain. I will tell you everything later. We will fly back in a few hours.” I tried to sooth her.
“Tara, are you insane? What is this job? And why do you to fly to Vegas for this? I mean, this doesn’t sound like a normal job! Tell me it is nothing illegal.”
“It’s nothing illegal, I guess.” I smiled a little. “No, trust me. I will be back around noon. I will tell you everything when I’m back. I might need you then anyway.”
“Need me? For what, Tara?” I heard Mom in her voice again.

“As a lawyer I mean. I might get this job, and there is a contract I need to sign, and I guess it might have some lines in it, that are not normal for a labor agreement, that’s where I need you. Just look over it, check it. Nothing more.”
“Hmmm… Tara, that doesn’t sound legal but, I trust you. Call me when you are back, do I need to pick you up?”
“Actually. I don’t know. I will call when I know, alright?”
“Yeah… good. Oh and Tony called, he told me you have been there for another job interview, working in his bar, is that true?” Cara asked.
“Yeah, that’s true. I know you told me not to go to the old routine in the bar jobs, but all the other interviews sucked, so I wanted to grab the chance of earning at least a little money…”
“Tara, stop. It’s alright. He told me to tell you to call him back. He sounded eager, so don’t let him wait too long. So… call me if I need to pick you up, alright?”
“I will, thanks sis.”
“No problem.”
I hung up and deleted the other missed calls and messages from my voicemail.
Then I dressed and shoved all my stuff back into my bag and waited another half hour before I would have to go down and meet everyone.
