Nowhere Else (Sloane, Open Tags)

[Sloane Taylor]

At the gas station, Sloane almost laughed when she saw Wesley getting condoms at the counter and how discreet he was trying to be. Once he was back in the car, they drove without saying anything to each other. And it wasn't even one of those awkward silence or anything. Sloane watched as the scenery passed her by until Wesley started slowing the car down. She turned to him and smiled.

Wiping the perspiration from her neck, Sloane let herself breathe for awhile before pulling the seat up and zipping up her hoodie, wondering where she should stuff her bra. On second thought, she didn't want Wesley to drive her home which meant she'd have to walk back home and she didn't much like walking around without her lingerie.

Shrugging, she unzipped her hoodie and put on her bra and zipped her hoodie up again. She shimmied into her panties and track shorts and turned when he mentioned how late it was. "You see my MP3 player?" She looked around the car until she found it. "Never mind. Found it." His question was met with a shake of her head. "Just send me back to the pier."

She didn't let him protest. "If you're not sending me back to the pier, I'm getting off here." She shrugged. As he drove, she noticed the red mark on his neck and grinned. "Sorry about the marks..." she bit her lower lip before chuckling. "Actually, I'm really not all that sorry." She admitted with a chuckle.

Of course he'd take her back to the pier. No question of him refusing. Wes would have preferred to make sure she got home ok but he had a feeling Sloane was more than capable of taking care of herself and would laugh if he so much as voiced that particular thought!

He had to admit the evening had been damned good. Sloane had been awesome and all he could do was hope he hadn't made a total fool of himself. She *seemed* to have had a good time... Either that or she was a great actress!

Wes shot her a sideways glance as he pulled out of the parking lot and when she commented about the marks. He knew she wasn't sorry even before she admitted as much. "Neither am I," he replied on a laugh. The bruises and scratches would serve as a reminder of a pretty fantastic session. A reminder that would be with him for upwards of a week!

The atmosphere in the car was casual and easy. Silence reigned - as it had earlier on their way to the car park - but, as before, it was far from awkward or uncomfortable.

He pulled up at the side of the street, close to the pier. He left the engine idling as he twisted slightly in his seat to face Sloane. How should he end the evening? A kiss? He wasn't all that sure how well that would be received. Then again, it felt wrong to just let her leave.

He leaned close and moved in slowly. That would give her ample time to make a break for it if she felt a kiss was out of order...

When Wesley leaned in, Sloane gave into the kiss. It wasn't anything tender it was just a kiss. "Thanks for a good evening, Canada. Be seeing you in school tomorrow." She patted his cheeks somewhat affectionately before getting out of the car. She walked away a bit before turning to wave him off. Once she saw he was gone, she went to the pier once more just to feel the wind against her skin. It had been a little too hot in the car and the fresh air was doing her skin so much good.

She didn't have her cell phone with her so she couldn't check the time. As she started to walk back home, a horn beeped from behind and she thought it was Wesley again but it turned out to be Lochlyn. "Bro...what are you doing here?" The Lincoln slowed to a stop for Sloane to jump in. "It's almost 3 am, mom was getting worried." Loch peeled out of the parking lot and they drove home.

"You smell funky." Loch said before winding down the windows. Sloane gave him a side punch. "I was doing some cardio," she explained despite not having the need to. "Yeah, I bet blood was being pumped." Loch shook his head.

(32? GENIUS! LOL!)

Wesley waved back to Sloane as she saw him off and he headed for home. His mom would no doubt go for the cross-examination angle but she'd be ok... Just glad to see him back to be honest. He'd keep his collar up but no doubt his brothers at least would spot the mark. Too bad... They'd be as jealous as all hell! After all, the Domaszewskis hadbn't been in town for all that long and he was the first of the boys to score himself some action!

Boy, and some action it'd been.

He glanced at his wristwatch again as he pulled into the driveway. Close on three. Oh yeah, he'd have some explaining to do!

He locked the car and headed inside, bracing himself for the onslaught...

(wrapped and a fun thread indeed! Thanks Nu!)
