My eyes stay shut because I'm afraid if they open, then I'll wake up from this moment.
She grinds back and forth, and I feel my cock begging for more. The harder she grinds, the harder I get. I want her to feel me. I need her towant me.
Her hips continue to rock on top of me as she uses my dick for her pleasure. Her hand tugs at my hair at the same time she nips at my bottom lip.
If she keeps doing this, I'm going to come in my pants.
Harder and faster, one small moan after another, her breathing becomes ragged like she's going to come with me.I feel myself creeping closer to the edge. We ride the high that's taken over, whether it's from sexual frustration or wanting to stop thinking about the problems we're both facing.
I hear a knock at the door, and we go still. Any moment now, we’re going to get caught like a couple of teenagers. Her chest rises and falls as she catches her breath. Riley looks at the door and then at me. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I need to go," she blurts, pulling herself up. She looks around and grabs her hat from my desk, slipping on her shoes, and then opens the door.
James stands in front of her. "Oh, I didn't know you were here." He looks at me, then back at Riley, confused. "Wait, why are you here?"
"I was just leaving." Riley scoots around him.
Without looking back at me or saying another word, she's gone.
TWENTY-FIVE
RILEY
What the fuck, what the fuck,what the fuck.What did I just do? Why did I do that? Oh, because I'm a horny slut for August Thompson. I kissed him.Again!
I ran out of there the minute I heard the knock on the door, thinking it was an employee, but nope. It was James.James of all people.
I'm still power walking. My head is in a tizzy, and I think I rode my bike here, but I'm speed walking like I'm in the Olympics. Dramatic hip movements and all.
I knew the moment I straddled myself right on his lap, I was done for. Regular Riley left the building, and Rowdy Riley sat down and enjoyed the ride. I don't know what came over me. I don't normally dry hump. It's more of a dine-and-dash when I'm with someone.
But with August? Going with that approach is something I think I will never recover from. It was so good, and I hate how much I enjoyed it. It was a rush.
Stop. Stop it right now, Riley. You do not want to sleep with your once-best friend. Better yet, your best friend’s brother.
When I hit the front door of my building, I take out my phone while running up the stairs.
Me: SOS SOS SOS
Ellie: !!! what?!
Addie:
Me: emergency movie night
Addie: ahhh! Yay! My favorite!
Me: Addie so help me, my life is on the line and you're over there hooting and hollering.
Hailey: always so dramatic
Ellie: I’ll see you at my place. Bring the usual!
An hour later,we're gathered in Ellie's living room. Cozy clothes on,Miss Congenialityplaying in the background, and loads of pizza, wine, and seltzer water.
"Here you go, ladies," Rowan announces, walking into the room. He puts a big plate full of chocolate chip cookies in front of us.
Addie, Hailey, and I look at him. We are aware of the cookie incident that occurred last year—the one where Ellie tried teaching him how to bake and failed.
