"Come on Aiden, are you ready yet?"

"Yeah man, just give me a sec."

I'm nowhere near fucking ready.

I've been standing in just a pair of jeans for the last 15 minutes typing into my phone. Maddy has been sending me still shots of the Bachelorette party in full swing. Everything from her posing in a toilet paper dress, to bra pong. The picture she sent, when I got out the shower, with the words asking if I can pick which ones were hers, left me unable to do anything else while I stared at the arrange of brightly coloured underwear spread out on a table.

She seems particularly proud of winning a game called 'Stick it in the hole', which then lead me to being completely inappropriate and typing provocative things back to her since I managed to barely button my pants. I honestly have no idea what you're even required to do, something about a roll of toilet paper and a broom, but have had fun with it anyway.

Laughing, I chuck my phone down on the bed and grab my shirt, pulling it over my head as I walk to grab my leather jacket from the wardrobe. Finding some shoes, I chuck a look in the floor length mirror of the wardrobe at my hair. It's fucking perfect already.

Vince is leaning against the door frame when I open the door and rolls his eyes.

"I swear Nora is quicker than your ass to get ready."

"That's because that woman runs on military time." I laugh back at him.

He laughs too as we make out way out my apartment, and off to the steakhouse to meet the rest of the guys.

Vince's Bachelor party was pretty easy to organise, just a small group of us, comprising of Vince's brother Tom, and a few work mates. The plan is steakhouse, scotch's at a cigar bar, and then onto to meet the ladies. Small, simple and a few laughs is what he wanted, and that's what he got.

  
    
       
Smiles play at my lips as I watch Vince laugh and joke around with the guys. The guy really is one of the good ones.

The steaks arrive with a special surprise for the groom. Vince shakes his head at me, as he knows it's all my doing and I grin back widely. I wink at Patricia the waitress, and she smiles, crossing herself.

"Thanks, Patricia. Right gentlemen, what we have here is a Shot Roulette, selected with some of their finest booze. Every time anyone says the groom's name, mentions the bride or the wedding, they have to spin. The shot that lands in front of you is yours to take, or give to anyone else at this table."

Vince's eyes go wide as he stares at me, before he lets out a huge laugh.

"I'm going to die, you bastard."

I smirk back and wink at him. We get a little louder as we purposely start to spin and end up needing refills before to long. Vince shakes his head at me multiple times, a grin still stuck on his face as he does shot after shot.

Luckily the food soaks up a bit of the alcohol and he's still more than able to walk by the time we leave. The fresh air walk to the end of the block will do us some good.

He throws an arm around my shoulders as we walk to the cigar bar.

"I hate you." He laughs at me.

"Actually, I think you'll find it's quite the opposite.." I laugh back. ".. I promise, next stop is one drink at a time, old boy. No more games."

I keep my promise for the cigar bar. We sit back and joke with each other while we enjoy a Cuban and scotch, but I severely go back on it when we reach the club.

I stop them before we near the entrance. I know the girls are due to rock up soon, and I have one last game in mind.

"Gentlemen, we have one last game of the night. The game is Lyrical Gangsta. The rules are, that you need to find some lovely ladies and engage in conversation with them. During said conversation you must get three song lyrics into the conversation without being caught, or sent packing. Fun and flirty is the key gents. It must be completed before the girls arrive. The last one standing that fails to complete the task, owes us all a round... Exhibit A..."

I turn to a blonde and lightly run my hand down her arm. She turns and a smile shines as her blue eyes find me.

"Hello, is it me you're looking for?"

"I'm sorry?"

"Sorry, I thought you were a friend of mine, you look so much alike... Aiden.."

I reach my hand out and gently shake hers, but before she can speak I cut in.

".. Wait, let me guess....RRRoxanne?.."

She giggles and shakes her head.

".. Damn, I thought I had that one."

"I'm sorry, not even close. It's Rebecca, but it was a good try." She giggles.

"No, no it's too late to apologize, it's to late.." I chuckle with her. ".. It was lovely meeting you Rebecca. I hope you have a wonderful night."

I smile and turn back around to the guys, smirking wickedly. I own this game.

"Game on, gents."

As predicted I own this game and finish first. Vince is a close second. We're leaning against the bar enjoying a beer while we watch Tom try. The guy has that teddy bear affect on people, and although women fawn over him, he has no idea how to actually flirt with one.

"Did he get any of the art of attraction genes?" I ask Vince as I raise my beer to take another swig.

"It would appear not. All he has to do is relax. That brunette is about ready to drag him off to a stall."

Tom's face turns the colour of a beetroot and he shifts uncomfortably when the brunette grips the top of his arm, before running her hand down it. I'm starting to feel bad for him, but weirdly he's doing much better than one of Vince's work mates, who has gone for the serious approach and hasn't been able to hold a single conversation yet.

"Well, he's not coming in last at least.."

Vince's head turns and he lets out a laugh as another woman walks away from his mate. I spot a glimmer of red I'd know anywhere in the crowd, and a smile spreads across my mouth before I can catch it.

".. And it appears time has run out."

I nod in direction of the girls coming over.

Fucking hell, Maddy. The woman stops my heart dead with some of her outfit choices, and with that hair, blue is definitely her fucking colour.

My eyes start at the bottom when she comes fully into view.

She's wearing black heels, that I immediately picture digging into me slightly while her legs are wrapped around my waist. They have crisscross straps over top and a thin strap around her ankle, holding her in. Her legs go on for fucking miles, as my eyes slowly travel up them.

The dress is skin tight, and a deep blue colour. I don't know what the hell it's made out of, but whatever it is, it gives the dress a shine that makes it look almost silky and glittery at the same time. It's stretched over her stomach and fucking hugs tightly up the curves of her thighs, and small waist. The dress cuts in the front in the V-neckline she seems to love, and has thin straps over the top of her chest, giving the opinion of holding in her ample assets. Her hair is swept back in a simple ponytail, with the waves cascading down behind her. Somehow the fact that she's barely done anything with it at all, makes it seem even sexier. She is effortlessly fucking beautiful.

A mischievous smiles comes across her face when she spots me gawking, before she turns her head to Nora and slows her walking slightly. She does a quick turn around as she walks and I almost let my beer smash on the floor. Those thin straps follow across her back from her waist up, showing off the gorgeous skin of her back. Her smile grows, as I'm now clutching two hands on my beer and slowly crushing the fucking glass.

Nora flings her arms around Vince when they reach us, but my eyes are still on Maddy. Tearing my eyes from her, I quickly glance at them before turning back to Maddy and mouthing 'wow', clutching my chest with one hand. Maddy's eyes slide to Nora. She raises her hand and points at me, then holds up two fingers. Fuck she is amazing.

I can't keep my hands to myself any longer. I step towards her, stopping just before I'm touching her. Smiling down at Maddy, I take her hand and lightly press a kiss to it. Nora laughs and smacks my hand away.

"You'll have to keep it in your pants now Aiden. Maddy here is taken by a lovely man."

I raise an eyebrow and my beer at the two of them, taking a step back.

"Oh really?"

Nora smiles and turns to Maddy, beaming.

"Yes indeed, a great guy named James."

Fuck. I almost choke on my damn beer, and only narrowly avoid it. My hand comes up, covering my mouth and I rub my jaw to hide my smile. That little minx. Maddy pokes her tongue out quickly at me.

"James hey, sounds like a great guy."

Vince claps me on the back.

"Well Aiden is already taken too."

Nora rolls her eyes and scoffs. "Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it."

My eyes are still on Maddy as she smiles at me.

"Completely and utterly taken by her too."

I watch her swallow slowly and light pink graces her cheeks, before she turns back to Nora. Fuck me, how I love that blush.

"See Nora, everyone's taken and fine. So, cocktails?"

"Oh hell yes!"

Nora grins and I let my head fall back and laugh when she produces a penis straw from nowhere and proceeds to dance off towards the bar, arms linked with Maddy.

"I'm marrying that next weekend." Vince laughs at me.

"Indeed you are man." I laugh as I clap him on the back, my eyes glued on Maddy's shiny wiggling butt.

Vince eyes me for a minute until his work mate comes over and I grin widely at him.

"I do believe you owe us all a round,  mate."

Vince laughs as we all follow Nora and Maddy to the bar.

I know my behavior is borderline caveman, but I park myself to wait right behind Maddy when she leans over the bar to try and get the bartenders attention. That fucking view is for my eyes only, and god damn, what a view it is.

Two guys next to her lean back to get a better view and I grind my jaw. This is bloody bullshit. I want to be able to grab her hips and pull her back into me, before grunting at them to put their fucking eyes back in their heads. My hand flexes as I desperately try and keep my hands by my sides.

Like I said borderline caveman. If it was socially acceptable I would probably throw her over my shoulder, while beating my chest, and declare that this woman is mine.

Finally she straightens up and throws a gorgeous smile back at me when she sees me. And just like that I instantly relax. What is it about her? She smiles or touches me and my whole body responds in a blink of an eye.

I'm 100%, all in, head over fucking heels in love with this woman.

Maddy turns back around and holds up a hot pink concoction for me to see.

"I'm afraid to ask exactly what that is?" I chuckle at her.

"Something along the lines of Frozen Pink Panties he said." She laughs

She playfully swats at me when I grin and raise my eyebrows up and down quickly at her. She goes to move past me, as I step towards the bar. Before I can stop myself, my hand reaches out and brushes across her stomach, around her side and down her back. I skim lightly over her ass and am rewarded with a slight shiver, that I can see, run through her bare shoulders. She turns and glares at me before sticking out her damn tongue at me again. I raise my hands in the air.

"My apologies, you seemed to have walked into my hand. Whatever will James say when he hears I've accidently touched his woman?"

Maddy giggles as me before looking over her shoulder to check where Nora is.

"You may be in for a world of trouble if he finds out, he's quite the jealous type. My body's supposedly his and all."

Dipping my head, I bite my lip, and look over to Vince who's turned away from us, trying to get another beer.

"I would think it is his indeed, and his alone." I practically growl out, and fucking enjoy when her eyes open more.

Electricity runs through my body as I hold her eyes and graze my fingers across her jaw. Her chest starts to rise and fall quicker as her breathing picks up.

"James hey?"

I watch her lips curve into a soft smile as she gazes up at me.

"I didn't want to lie, and I wasn't sure if you were ready for people to know yet."

Fuck, that hits me straight in the heart. I force myself to swallow it down and smile warmly back at her.

"I like that you picked it."

My other hand finds her hip and starts to slide around behind her.

"I really want to kiss you right now."

She leans in closer to me, my hand still on her jaw.

"I know." She grins at me as she pulls back.

I watch as she turns and bounces off into the crowd back to the rest of the group, and I'm stuck here, sporting a semi hard on. Fuck.

We find a high table and few seats, near the dance floor where we can see the girls dancing away. I watch as Vince grins and watches Nora as she moves about the floor. The look he's giving her is eerily similar to how I look at Maddy. My eyes find her and her red hair quickly, as she raises her hands and moves her hips in time to the music. Fuck, she's fucking amazing to watch. Vince thumps me in the shoulder.

"That girl of yours mustn't catch you looking at someone else that way." He chuckles at me.

"Just drink your beer." I grin back.

Even though I haven't told him shit, I'm pretty sure he's cottoned on to what's been going on. He knows me way to well. Vince laughs at me and shakes his head. Ass.

The drinks flow as the night goes on, and the more Nora drinks the more I relax and enjoy the night. Somewhere around her third drink she stops giving me daggers everytime Maddy is standing too close and focuses more on having fun.

Maddy slides up next to me and leans her head and back against my arm. Turning my head subtly, I inhale her heavenly scent. She smells fucking amazing. She giggles and looks up at me. Sweet fucking hell, that innocent look as she blinks her eyes slowly at me is driving me nuts. She bumps me with her butt and turns to face me, brushing her chest against my arm.

"Dance with me, Aiden."

Laughing, I take her hand and spin her around. She laughs as she turns around and falls against me.

"Smooth."

"Always." I grin back at her.

Her hand slides down my back and she slaps me on the ass before she wiggles off back to the dance floor. I can't help laughing as I watch her go. I down the last of my beer, then weave my way back through the crowd to the bar.

"Hey, there you are."

A hand brushes along my forearm and I turn to find the blonde from the start of the night standing bloody close to me, a grin on her face.

"Hey, sorry about earlier, it was part of a bachelor party game."

I nod to bartender holding up my empty beer and two fingers.

"Oh that's ok, I do hope you're not the one getting married though." She bats her eyelids at me while she talks. Wow this chick is seriously trying.

Gently extracting her hand from my arm, I hand a note over to the bartender and grab the beers from him.

"Enjoy your night, Rebecca."

I turn before she can try and hold me there. The last thing I want is Maddy seeing some chicks hands on me. There's no way in hell I'm fucking up what I have with her, she's everything to me. I get back to the table and stop dead.

Maddy is dancing on some kind of short stage in the dance floor. She looks fucking incredible, her body moving is hypnotizing. What makes me stop is the guy on the floor in front of her, reaching out to run his hands on her damn legs. She swats him away and continues to dance. The guy doesn't take the hint as he gets up on the stage to and reaches out for her again. Fuck this.

Putting the beers down on the table, I walk straight towards Maddy and scoop her off the stage, throwing her over my shoulder in one swift movement. She shrieks until she sees it's me then relaxes into me as I carry her off to the corridor for the bathroom. Putting her down, I back her up so she's against the wall and put both my arms either side of her, holding her there. Her chest heaves up and down, just like mine, as we stare at each other. I'm glad when she breaks first as I have no idea what to say now. My brain is still catching up that I actually did just carry her off the dance floor. I went full fucking caveman.

"What the hell, Aiden? What was that?."

I still can't speak as I look at her, as I don't have a clear answer for her. She reaches out and shoves me hard in the chest. I don't move.

".. Damn it, Aiden. Talk to me. While your jealously is seriously hot sometimes, it was uncalled for this time. I was just dancing, and I had that guy handled."

Something in me snaps.

"Are you serious right now? I'm just suppose to fucking stand there and watch some guy trying to feel up my fucking girlfriend right in front of me? Christ Maddy, his hands were all over you."

I drop my head as I finish. My breathing is coming in short ragged breaths. Maddy just blinks at me.

"Girlfriend?" She whispers.

Shit, I can see the fear and panic in her eyes when I look up at her. She wants to run from me. I move my hands in closer to her shoulders, boxing her in more.

"Is there anyone else you've been seeing?"

"No."

"Is there someone else you want touching you?"

I risk it and move one hand away from boxing her in. I trace my fingers slowly down from her cheek, to her neck, along her collarbone and across the top of her chest. She wiggles against the wall, her breathing picking up again. I don't need her to answer but she does.

"No."

"Do you want to be in anyone else's bed tonight, Maddy?"

Her eyes have gone darker and I can feel the heat in them pouring out. Scorching and igniting the desire inside of me. Her hands grip into the fabric of my t-shirt, balling it slightly before running around my sides.

"No."

She pulls me in closer until we're practically breathing the same air.

"Then I think that makes you fucking mine and my girlfriend."

She grins at me and slides her hands down, winding her fingers through my belt loop. With a hard tug, she nudges my hips into hers.

"I'm fucking crazy about you." I growl as my mouth crashes into hers.

We're a tangle of fucking limbs as we cling and crush ourselves into each other. When her hands lift my shirt and her fingers touch my skin, I groan into her mouth. Her touch always sends sparks of electricity over my skin, that sets every nerve on fire and heats up my insides. I just can't get enough of her. Maddy arches her body into me and drags her knee slowly up my thigh. I pull away before I start removing that dress of hers. Why the hell can't we be somewhere more private right now? Maddy eyes are heavy with desire and she closes them as she tries to slow her breathing.

"I can't help myself with you." I breath out, still watching her.

Her lips curve up into a small smile.

"Me too.." I let her hands push me in the chest and take a step back away from
