The scent of sex filled the air, acting like some type of aphrodisiac, drugging us until we all toppled over, setting off a chain reaction.

And when it was all over, Jarrod and Jason took turns, gently cleaning my cum from her, giving her another orgasm, making her body melt until she was a pile of incoherent goo in my arms.

“Go to sleep, love. We’ve got you.”

And she did, making us the happiest we’d ever been even if we now had a sword hanging over our heads until school ended.

Katy/Katherine

Even though I left Ethan a message, explaining why I left after we’d slept together, I was still a little concerned about talking to him at school. Peter rubbed his thumb over my hand that he held as he drove me to school.

“Relax, Katy. Everything will be fine. He’s a nice guy. He’ll understand.”

I wasn’t sure that I believed Peter, but I did trust him, and he was a guy. He knew how guys thought. Jason and Jarrod had said the same things, so I should have followed their advice, but I couldn’t. It wasn’t me. I didn’t like hurting people’s feelings.

Before we pulled into the parking lot, Peter released my hand, and I moved a little further away from him on my seat. It wasn’t the first time he’d driven me to school, but I wanted to make sure that it looked the exact same. Anything to keep anyone from becoming suspicious.

As soon as I stepped from the car, I saw Ethan waiting for me. He smiled and it looked the same, releasing a sliver of tension from me.

“Told you, he’d be okay,” Peter whispered as he walked past me with Liam as he took him to the daycare. He stopped to say something to Ethan who nodded, but I didn’t have a clue what he said.

“You okay?” Ethan wrapped his arm around me, sliding his hand into my back pocket over my ass.

“Yup. But we should talk.”

“After school?”

I nodded. As much as I wanted to get the talk over with, I didn’t want to do it where other people could hear. So, after school at my house would be perfect, even if it meant I’d have to suffer with a nervous stomach all day.

Thankfully the day flew by. All people talked about was the party, but no one mentioned Ethan and me. Too many other interesting and scandalous things happened to make us non-relevant and I was so happy about it.

At my house, I poured us both lemonades before sitting on the couch. “I need to apologize for Saturday night. I shouldn’t have just left. Not like that.”

He placed his hand over mine, stopping my verbal deluge. “Relax. I can’t believe I fell asleep on you. And I didn’t even make sure that you came. That’s on me.”

“It’s not. It really was my fault. I just…” I didn’t know what to say. There were so many secrets I was keeping, and they were the only way I could explain. But I couldn’t use them.

“Don’t stress, Katy. I already know. I’ve always known. And I’m not about to say anything. I told you that our fake relationship would protect you and me. I meant that. I just hope that you didn’t feel pressured to sleep with me. I don’t know what your arrangements are, and I’d feel sick if you felt pressured.”

“No.” I flipped my hand over, lacing our fingers together. The movement comfortable and relaxing even if it didn’t mean whatothers thought it did. “You didn’t pressure me. I wanted to. You could almost say I needed to.”

“So, it didn’t cause any problems between you, and…”

“No. No problems. You don’t have to worry about that. But I’m not sure I can do that again. It didn’t feel right.”

He chuckled. “No, you’re right. If someone hadn’t slipped something in my earlier drink”—Someone slipped something into his drink? And I hadn’t even noticed. Fuck. What type of friend am I? Was I really that wrapped up in my myself and my issues that I didn’t even notice he wasn’t acting like himself?—“felt like I was with my sister. No offense.”

I pushed my thoughts away and focused on the end of his comment, forcing myself to laugh. “Trust me. None taken. So, what does that mean for us? For this fake relationship because I don’t want to throw you to the wolves.”

“Are you still okay to be my beard? To let people think we’re together.”

“Of course. I’m even okay with the PDA we’ve been doing to sell it, but I probably couldn’t do anything more.”

“That’s fine. Soccer is soon going to get really busy, so I’ll be spending more time in Winnipeg anyway. The school had agreed to accommodate my schedule, so I’ll be okay class wise.” He grinned at me. “So, friends then, but with the benefits.”

I returned his grin. “Oh, I don’t know. I think you’re getting lots of benefits. It’s me who’s not gaining much.”
