His thick brown hair was tousled slightly, and with the sparkle in his baby blue eyes he knew the roguish looks he’d been blessed with could charm anyone he wished. The long sleeved black shirt tucked tightly into designer jeans and emphasised his trim waist and firm physique – blessings of the young, perhaps, but he fully intended to make the most of them. Yes, tonight was going to be a good night. Good food, a few drinks and a lovely girl who his friend assured him was an animal in bed – just what he was looking for. He flipped the lights off and picked up the set of DVDs he’d left lying by the door to remind him to return them as he walked out. Glancing across the road, he noticed with a little relief Ashley’s car was gone, so he wouldn’t have to worry about any casual conversation making him late. He had a key to her house from when they’d exchanged them months ago, allowing them to look after things for each other when necessary, borrow items and return them freely, and unlock the door for one another when they did something stupid and didn’t have their own key.
