Christy was right; he doesn’t deserve my tears. But I can’t help it. Hearing his voice again brought back up his words from a week ago. “You’re too much.”Never have I felt so broken down by someone’s words. I like to think my skin is tough enough that anything should bounce off me, but clearly I’m wrong. I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea—I’ve always been that girl that the other girls hate. The one that’s always the center of attention in a group of guys. I can’t help it. Guys are fun and playful; they don’t judge me like a group of girls would.
Besides Christy and Everly, I don’t have many female friends. I had one a long time ago. It was after the guys had graduated, so I didn’t have my regular group of friends around anymore. Everly was two grades below me and in a different part of the school than the upperclassmen. Bianca had befriended me in our biology class. I’d thought she was a good friend, but it turned out she wasn’t. She just wanted what I already had and was working to undermine my relationship with my boyfriend at the time, who she wanted for herself.
Girls can be such bitches.
After several hours of sitting on the couch and drinking my wine, Kyle’s completely out of my mind. Gabe, however, was back to being front and center. Picturing my best friend, his green eyes, his smile, his hands…those hands kneading my ass while his cock plunged into me…
Heat pours through my body, a flush taking over my skin—one that has nothing to do with the wine. I stretch my body as memories of our time on the porch play through my mind.How he made me beg.Damn, that was so hot. Gabe’s never been a man of many words but fuck if how he spoke to me didn’t turn me the fuck on. Thinking about him, tension gathers in my body, the all too familiar pulsing taking place between my thighs.
I want him. Now.
Chapter 10
Gabriel
There’s a pounding knock on the door of my apartment. I’m not expecting anyone, so I cautiously head over to the door. Pulling it open, a small figure wearing a large hoodie and Ugg boots is standing on my doormat. Immediately I know exactly who it is.
Sunny.
Mel doesn’t even look at me before walking straight through my doorway and into my dining room. Wordlessly, I close the door and turn to face my best friend, who I just recently realized I have feelings for.
Does she have any idea how I feel for her?
Before I have a chance to speak, Mel removes her hood, hands spread out before her as if to stop me from saying or doing anything. “Look,” she presses, “I know I said I’d give you time to think about our arrangement, but I think forty-eight hours is long enough, don’t you? ‘Cuz I really need to know your answer. Like, right now.” She’s a ball of nervous energy, bouncing back and forth on her feet, her legs completely bare.
Now Ihaveto know what she’s wearing underneath that giant hoodie of hers.
Clenching my jaw, I murmur, “I know my answer.”
Rolling her eyes, Mel prods me. “And? Come on, Gabe, I need to know.”
She’s so damn cute when she’s agitated. “My answer is…” I pause, rubbing my hands along my jaw knowing she’s impatient. “Yes. We can do this. As long as it doesn’t ruin our friendship. I can’t lose you.”
Mel charges for me and I faintly hear “thank god” before her body collides with mine. I bend down, meeting her mouth as she reaches up for me. Her kisses are frantic and needy. There’s a sense of longing behind her rushed movements like she couldn’t have waited another second without knowing my choice. All too eagerly I give in to my desire, my lips moving against hers.
She tastes like heaven.
“Gabriel?”
I smile against her lips. “Melissa?”
“Can we please take our clothes off? I’ve been dying to have you inside me all day.”
There’s no stopping the growl that escapes from my lips at her admission. The truth is, I’ve been dying to be inside her all day too. After finishing a shift at the station this morning, I’ve done nothing but think about her. Hell, I had to jerk off once this afternoon to even attempt to get through the rest of the day without a boner.
“Can’t get enough of me, can you, Sunny? Your sweet pussy misses me.” When I have her in my arms like this, longing for me, begging me to take her, I can’t control my words. My mouth works lower, kissing and sucking down her neck. “I wonder, will that sweet pussy enjoy my mouth? You’d like that wouldn’t you, Sunny? My tongue licking your clit?”
“Oh, god yes.”
Grabbing her ass, I lift her up into my arms, legs straddling either side of my chest. Mouths moving in tandem, I walk us down the hallway to the bedroom, my cock straining against my sweats as Mel grinds against me.
I need to be inside her.
Giving her one last kiss, I lay her on the bed. Without pausing, I lift her hoodie over her head andsweet jesus.Her large breasts are exposed, no fabric between us. Mel has great breasts, large enough to fill the palm of my hands. I’ll admit that over the years it’s been hard to not notice how great her rack is given that she uses every opportunity to show them off.
She reaches up and tugs at my shirt, lifting it up over my toned stomach. Understanding her wordless request, with both hands I grab the back of my shirt neck and pull, the fabric sliding over my skin. Free of the shirt, I toss it to the floor. She uses my distraction to lean forward and bite my nipple, teasing me. Hissing a breath through my teeth, I thread my fingers through her hair, gripping it in my fist. Lightly tugging, her head angles up so I can claim her mouth. Our tongues glide together, passion filling every ounce of my body. My dick bobs with each heartbeat, but I don’t want to ruin this moment.
Gently leaning forward, I push her down to the mattress, laying her out before me. Standing back up, Mel watches me as I remove her boots, my hand sliding up her toned legs to grip the tiny sleep shorts she has on underneath her hoodie. She bites her lip as I pull her shorts and panties off of her, exposing all of her to me. Shamelessly, Mel drops her knees open, giving me a prime view of her perfect pussy.
