Synopsis:
Warning: Sleeping with a friend might change your life forever.
Sleeping with Kyle was never in the plans. Pretending to be his girlfriend was one thing, but letting our relationship become anything but platonic was another. The problem with mixing friendship with sex is that inevitably feelings get involved, and when that happens there's no turning back.
When Kyle's life fell apart around him, I needed to help, but doing that meant opening myself up to the most terrifying thing in the world—falling in love.
“You already
know I’m screwed up. That secret got out of the bag when I invited you here.”
There was something freeing about that. I didn’t have to pretend to be put
together for her anymore. Like it or hate it, she now had a hint at how messed
up my life was.
“Not any more
screwed up than me.” She smiled slightly.
“I guess we’re a
lot alike then.”
“I guess so.”
She gazed out at a spot somewhere in the distance.
“What are you
looking at?”
“Nothing. Just
looking.” A tear slid down her face.
Without thinking
I wiped away the tear.
She turned to me
with her wide brown eyes, and I didn’t think. I leaned in and brushed my lips
against hers.
Her lips were
soft and welcoming, and a single touch wasn’t enough. I started to move my lips
against hers, and she responded, giving me all the encouragement I needed to
deepen the kiss. She eagerly welcomed me into her mouth, letting me explore
every corner as her hands twisted in my hair. I wrapped my arms around her,
needing her closer than she could ever be.
I couldn’t get
enough of her taste, half sweet and half a minty flavor lingering from her
toothpaste. Her body felt so warm pressed against mine.
Finally we broke
the kiss.
She stumbled
back out of my arms. “Wow.”
“My thoughts
exactly.” I was probably grinning like an idiot.
“I can’t believe
we did that.”
“I can. I’ve
wanted to for a long time.” It was even better than I expected. She was so
responsive, and there was none of the usual first kiss awkwardness that could
sometimes ruin the moment.
“So have I.”
“There’s only
one problem though.” I looked right into her eyes.
“And what
problem is that?” She raked her teeth over her bottom lip.
“I want to do it
again.”
“Then do it.”
She started into my eyes intently.
“Ok then.” I leaned in. She didn’t need to tell
me twice.
