His eyes were filled with something I couldn’t quite decipher. “Tech, if you don’t want to speak on something, just tell me. I won't get upset. Okay?”
I released a breath I didn’t know I was holding. “Sorry,” I mumbled, feeling embarrassed.
“No need to be sorry. We’re just getting to know each other. Don’t be so hard on yourself.” He stood and stretched before bending over to grab the pizza box off the table.
I couldn’t help but stare at his ass. It was shapely, plump, and curvy. I could feel myself hardening in my jeans. I shot to my feet in a rush. Although I was certain of my attraction to him, I wasn’t quite sure about how to approach him. So, before my dick started doing the thinking for us, I decided to get the hell out of here.
“I think I’m going to head back. It’s getting late.”
Will checked his watch, and his eyes widened. “Damn, it’s after midnight. I need to go to bed, too. Watching triplets, I have to be fully energized.”
“Right.” I chuckled nervously. My dick was growing by the second.
“Well, let me walk you out.” Will slid past me, and his aroma engulfed me. He smelled like coconuts. It was further arousing me. I quickly walked after him, ready to get the hell out of here.
Will opened the door and smiled, showcasing those dimples. “I had fun, Tech. We should do this again.”
I stepped up close to him, leaving only a few inches between us. “Yeah. We should.” I watched as his mouth partly opened before he swallowed. Stepping out of the apartment, I turned to him. “See you later, Will.”
Chapter Five
WILL
For the past few weeks, Tech had been coming to my apartment. I really looked forward to leaving every day just so we could hang out. We had been to the arcade, where I found out Tech was insanely good at video games. We also did a few other activities, like go-karting and rock climbing. He even convinced me to try indoor skydiving. It was so much fun. He was quickly becoming a close friend to me.
A close friend who I wanted to fuck me.
With all the time I was spending with Tech, I was slowly falling for him, which was dumb of me. He hadn’t made any kind of romantic advances toward me. I knew he was attracted to me. There were too many times I could see the lust in his eyes, not to mention the number of times he’d gotten hard. He always bolted when it happened, but not before I got a glimpse of it.
I never brought it up because I didn’t want to pressure him. Clearly, he was struggling, and I wasn’t going to add to it by bringing it up.
Here at the clubhouse, I rarely saw him. It was like he would be a figment of my imagination until he appeared on my doorstep at my apartment.
Today, it was another morning at the clubhouse. After helping the children get settled with their breakfast, I took a seat at the table with Cara and her family. Tech just so happened to be sitting with them as well.
“Good morning, everyone,” I said as I took my seat.
Everyone spokeexceptfor Tech. He hadn’t even bothered to lift his head from his plate. I frowned but shook it off and began eating my food. Cara was sitting next to me, stabbing her food with more force than necessary.
“Cara, what is going on with you this morning?” Crystal asked her.
“Ask your son-in-law,” she growled.
That caused everyone to turn to Viper, who looked around sheepishly. He turned to Cara with apologetic eyes. “Really, Cara? I said I was sorry.” He attempted to touch her shoulder, but she jerked away.
“Damn. What the hell did you do?” Blade’s head ping-ponged between Viper and Cara.
“I didn’t do anything,” he denied.
Cara’s snapped her head at him. “Didn’t do anything?” she repeated in disbelief. She looked like she was ready to snap. I was used to it at this point. Pregnant women could go from zero to a hundred really quick.
“Babe—” Viper started before she cut him off.
“So, you didn’t wake me up this morning just to ask me if I was sleeping?!” she shrieked.
That caused a few chuckles around the table. Viper clearly had lost his mind. Waking up a pregnant woman was a sure way to make her enact violence.
“Baby—” He tried to speak again.
