I'm not sure in all
honesty that she fully appreciated the whole Twickenham rugby match
experience, even though it was an England versus Ireland match, but
she gamely entered into the spirit of things and cheered for our
team whenever I did.
But how long
it would be before she was going to feel relaxed enough to finally
let me get her into bed remained to be seen.

I’d been away in the States
again, building up my business contacts in order to expand my
interests over there. On my return, I’d instructed Simon Draper, my
Creative Director, that I wanted SCV to have a complete image
makeover, with new logos and brandings, something fresh and
stimulating to replace the current boring image we had. I gave him
a month to come up with something, and ignored his protests that
this was too short a time frame. I wanted the new image in place
for some important meetings I’d managed to set up in the States, so
they just had to get their act together. I’d given them detailed
instructions about what I wanted, and more importantly what I
didn't want, so how hard could it be, for fuck’s sake?
It was Sunday,
so Jamie was coming over for a belated birthday lunch celebration,
since I’d been away at the time. I was curious to find out how he
was getting on with this girl he’d been chasing after for months
now. Hopefully he’d finally got her out of his system, was bored
with her and regretting his decision to let her have a room in the
house. Perhaps that would teach him not to think with his dick in
future.
Having
terminated my arrangement with Kimberley, I’d not had a chance to
organise a replacement since I’d been away on business so much
lately. Now that I was back, it was something I’d have to turn my
attention too. I had needs - very urgent needs. I have a high sex
drive, and lack of sex was definitely making me tetchy and
irritable. I had someone in mind – the blonde who regularly worked
out next to me at the gym had been sending unmistakeable signs of
interest, and a few discrete enquiries with Scott Franklin the gym
manager, my usual contact in these matters, had revealed that she
was into the no strings kind of sex I was interested in. I just
needed to set something up, and I’d have to get onto it first thing
tomorrow.
Once Jamie had
arrived and we were sitting eating our lunch, I broached the
subject of this stupid girl he was infatuated with. I didn't beat
around the bush.
“Have you
fucked her yet?”
Jamie
spluttered as he choked on his food.
“Excuse
me?”
“This girl.
The one who’s been leading you a fine dance, playing hard to get
and all that malarkey. Have you screwed her yet?” I watched for his
response as I took a mouthful of the rather good beef casserole
that Agnieszka had left for us this week.
“I take it you
mean Seraphina.” By Jamie’s defensive attitude, he clearly hadn’t
fucked her yet.
“If that’s her
name, then yes. Seraphina. Have you finally managed to fuck her?
Has the novelty worn off so you can move on?”
“Liam, you
really are a nasty shit sometimes. It’s not like that, not with
Sera. She’s different, I keep telling you.”
“So you still
haven’t got around to shagging her yet. Jesus Christ almighty, what
is wrong with you? Why the hell are you wasting your time on a
prick teasing bitch like her?”
“She’s not a
prick teasing bitch, it’s just complicated with her. She’s got
issues. If you must know, I did actually get her into my bedroom at
my birthday party, but just as I thought we were finally going to
make it together, she freaked out on me.”
“She’s got
issues. This just gets better and better,” I muttered in disbelief.
My brother could pretty much have the pick of any girl he wanted,
but he had to go and get himself mixed up with this nutty cow
instead.
“It turns out
she’s still a virgin. She’s got herself so hung up about guys
touching her and having sex that she’s worried she’s a lesbian,
