“True. I don’t need any help to satisfy my woman in bed.” Although I am kind of curious who she would choose. She and Lev get along so well but she and Griff have a lot in common. On paper either of them would probably be better boyfriends for her.
Good thing this is real life then.
“So humble.” She walks over and puts the book down. “That book was actually full of feels, the heroine’s engagement broke up when her fiancé fell in love with their third, his best friend from college.” Her eyes rake up and down my body. “Who’d be the top? You, Lev, Griff?”
“Me, without a doubt.” I smile down at her. She came out the bathroom in sleep shorts and a skimpy tank top that her nipples are currently visible through. “Are you cold or turned on thinking about me topping Lev or Griff?”
“I’m not cold.” Her eyes sparkle with mischief. “I can’t believe how easy you are talking about having sex with your best friends though.”
“Just talking.” I shrug. “It’s just sex, as long as everyone consents I don’t judge.”
Something like approval flickers in her eyes.
“What do you want to do?” She asks, suddenly stepping away from me.
“Netflix?”
“Sure.” She walks over to the side of the bed nervously.
“This isn’t going to work.” I rub my jaw.
“What?” She stops mid step.
“Yeah,” I sigh sadly, “that’s my side of the bed.”
“Oh,” she smiles wolfishly, “guess you might as well go then. This will never work.” She gestures back and forth between us.
I flop down on the other side of the bed, happy that I was able to bring her out of her head. I could her nerves dancing behind her eyes. “I can compromise for you.” I’m propped on my side and she rolls to look at me.
“I liked the quote you sent me this morning.” She smiles softly at me.
“It wasn’t a quote. It’s just the truth.” I say. I told her this morning that for the first time in my life I don’t have to try for happy. When I’m with her it just happens naturally. She makes happy.
She scoots closer to me, her eyes dipping to my lips. I meet her halfway and let her kiss me gently and sweetly. Her fingers skim over my jaw and she closes the distance between us. Her hand moves from my jaw and down my chest until her fingers find their way under my shirt. My abs jump under her gentle caresses.
I grip her hip before running my hand down her thigh. I lift her leg over my hip and thrust my hard cock against her warm pussy. I bet she’s soaked through her panties already. I’m about to slide my finger under her shorts when her phone rings. I’m tempted to tell her to ignore it but hold myself back. She’s not mine yet, at least she hasn’t come to accept that she is.
I look over my shoulder and see her swipe her finger along her screen and then pull open her nightstand drawer. She pulls out a circular case and pokes a pill through the foil.
Fuck yes! She’s on birth control.
“Birth control?” I ask even though it’s obvious.
“Yeah, I’ve been on it since I was 14.” Her cheeks flame red. “Obviously not because I’m sexually active but for other reasons.”
“It’s okay. Say no more. Claire is on birth control too for reasons unknown to me but I know she isn’t having sex either. At least she better not be.” I scowl, thinking about how I’m not close enough to protect her.
Lilith runs her finger between my eyebrows. “Chill. She’s at an all girls boarding school. Unless she’s messing around with girls I’m sure she’s not seeing any action. Cute how fast you went into protective big brother mode though.”
“I miss her.” It’s true. I really do. We never had the antagonistic sibling relationship so many of my peers have. “She’s only allowed to have her phone on weekends so we rarely get to talk anymore.”
“She’s lucky to have you as a big brother.” Lilith presses her body against mine and all thoughts of my baby sister evaporate from my head.
I kiss her and roll on top of her, loving the feel of her small body under mine. It feels so right that I can almost imagine holding her all night. I don’t recognize these urges, even when I fuck girls I don’t sleep with them. I don’t want to wake up beside anyone, have anyone curl themselves around me. But with Lilith it’s different. I can imagine it and I want it, bad.
“Do you want me to stay here tonight? Just to sleep.” I clarify.
She starts to open her mouth to say something but I interrupt her, seeing the wariness in her eyes. She still isn’t ready to let me in and it fucking stings. I can be patient though. “It’s okay, I get it. I’m not going to rush you into anything you aren’t comfortable with.” I kiss her forehead before I roll over and stand up. “At least let me tuck you in.”
