She slips her hands down the expanse of my back and down the sides of my hips. I feel her nails lightly clawing at my skin as I thrust into her. I’m trying to keep the pace slow, though, wanting her to orgasm again. But it’s fucking hard.
I move my hand up from her hip to her breast and feeling how hard her nipple is, I break the kiss and, lowering my head, I suck the tight bud into my mouth.
God, I could worship her breasts all day long.
The sound of my cock thrusting through her wetness makes me lose control. I bring my other arm up and push it under Aria’s back, holding her tightly as I begin to thrust harder.
“Christ, you feel so good,” I murmur near her ear. “You’re so wet for me. Such a fucking turn-on.”
My words make her moan, and then her mouth latches onto my neck.
My cock jerks inside her, and not wanting to come yet, I pull entirely out of her.
Her eyes dart to mine, and I quickly explain, “I want this to last longer than five minutes.”
I rub my cock against her clit as I claim her lips. Our bodies grow slick with the heat from our lovemaking, and when I have my need under control, I push back inside Aria.
She breaks the kiss as a gasp explodes over her lips, and instantly her hips begin to move, and she grinds her pussy against my pelvis.
Knowing she’s close, I speed up my pace, each thrust making my cock sink deep inside her.
“Forest,” she whispers. An expression of something between heartache and ecstasy makes her look breathtaking. Then she begins to chant, “Shit…fuck… shit…Oh. My. God!”
I crush my mouth to hers as her body begins to convulse, and it feels like her inner walls are milking my cock.
“Christ,” I hiss against her lips as the pleasure races down my spine, and not being able to stop myself, my hips jerk, pounding my cock into her heat as fast and hard as I possibly can. “Fuck, Aria,” I manage to gasp, and then intense pleasure makes me tighten my hold on her as I empty myself inside her body.
I’m unable to breathe as my orgasm seizes my body.
Aria wraps her arms and legs around me, and it makes me sink deeper inside her, causing residual pleasure to spasm through me.
We both keep still as we gasp for air, and once we’ve come down from our orgasms, I find the strength to lift my upper body so I can look at Aria.
Her eyes lock on mine, and they’re shining with unshed tears.
It’s on the tip of my tongue to tell her I love her, not just as my best friend, but as a woman. Emotions fill my chest until all I can do is kiss her, needing to express what I feel for her in some way.
Our kisses are gentler as if we’re searching for the answers to all the new questions.
Where do we go from here?
Will we survive this?
Breaking the kiss, I answer the unspoken questions, “You’re mine now. I’m never letting you go or sharing you with anyone ever again.”
Aria nods, and a tear spills over her cheek. She wraps her arms tightly around my neck and holds on to me as if she’s scared I’ll disappear.
“It will always be you and me,” I assure her. “Forever.”
ARIA
Deeply affected by what just happened between Forest and me, I try to regain control of my rampant emotions.
Before we had sex, I was his best friend, willing to experiment with him. Now?
Fear crawls back into my heart because I know I’m irrevocably in love with Forest. Maybe I always have been, and it took this moment for me to realize my true feelings?
But even though I feel safe with Forest, and I know I can trust him, I’m scared shitless that I’ll do something to tear us apart.
“Are you okay?” Forest murmurs, his eyes filled with warmth.
I nod, not ready to tell him how I feel.
“Sure?”
I nod again and manage to force a smile to my lips.
“You’re quiet, and that’s never a good thing,” he calls me out.
“Just overwhelmed,” I try to sum up my emotions. “You know, I just had the best sex of my life.”
“Yeah?” He grins, tilting his head.
“Solid yes.” He’s still inside me, and now that the passion has faded, I become highly aware of how it feels to have Forest inside me, and it dawns on me how perfect we fit together.
My eyes lock on his, and bringing my hands to his jaw, I press a soft kiss to his mouth.
I’m falling in love with you.
Forest’s eyes drift over my face.
I won’t let you fall. You’re safe with me, Aria.
He presses another kiss to my mouth, and then he slowly pulls out of me. I instantly miss how it feels to be connected to him, but needing to clean up, I scoot off the bed and walk to his ensuite bathroom.
I take my time, pushing all the confusing thoughts and emotions down.
I splash some water on my face and pat my skin dry with a towel before I turn back to the door. Then my eyes drop, and I glance down at my naked body.
Ooooh… crap.
In the heat of the moment, I didn’t worry about getting naked, but now that I have to walk back into the room, my insecurities come rushing back.
The urge to cover myself is overwhelming, but I lift my chin and suck in a fortifying breath before I open the door. My eyes search for Forest. He already has his pants on, and sitting down with his back to me, he picks up his shirt.
I quickly dart forward and gather my clothes. Staying behind him, I get dressed as fast as I can. I manage to put on my underwear when he turns to me.
Before things can get super awkward, Forest walks to me and framing my face, he tilts my head up and claims my mouth in a dominating kiss.
That’s the thing about Forest, sometimes he knows me better than I know myself. He’s aware that I’m not comfortable with my body.
When he pulls back, he drops one hand, and his knuckles skim over my nipple. “You’re fucking beautiful, Aria. I love every inch of your body. Don’t feel insecure around me.”
I nod, soaking in the confidence boost his words give me.
Not able to keep my fear to myself any longer, I ask, “We’re going to be okay, right?”
His features soften, and the corner of his mouth lifts. “Yes, we’re going to be just fine.” He brushes some hair from my face, and then his fingers trace lightly over my temple and down to my jaw. “I meant what I said. There’s no one more important than you.” Forest pauses, and then he says, “I love you. Always have. Always will.”
He’s said those words to me whenever I had a bad breakup, or I felt down, but now it feels as if their meaning has changed.
I close the distance between us, and wrapping my arms around him, I bury my face against his chest. “I won’t survive losing you.”
Forest holds me tightly, and he presses a kiss to the top of my head before he murmurs, “You won’t lose me.”
Chapter 10
FOREST
The past two days, it feels as if I’ve been living in a bubble with Aria. We steal moments to make out, and each one fills me with more excitement for the next.
After Carla and I are done with our last class, we walk to the art department to wait for Aria.
“It’s our first Friday night at Trinity,” Carla mentions. “What are we going to do?”
“No parties,” I give Carla a pleading look. “Can we just hang out at the suite?”
“Only if we can play a drinking game. I need alcohol after all the work we got this week.”
“Deal,” I immediately agree.
Aria comes walking to us, and when she’s close, I take a couple of steps forward, and wrapping my arm around her waist, I press a kiss to her mouth.
“You know, I’m starting to feel left out,” Carla complains behind us.
Without hesitating, both Aria and I dart to Carla, and we each press a kiss on her cheeks. “I didn’t mean y’all had to slobber on me,” she laughs, clearly appreciating the attention.
/>
Taking hold of Aria’s hand, I throw my arm around Carla’s shoulders, and we start to walk to the dorms.
“Forest wants to stay in,” Carla brings Aria up to date with our plans. “I said we can play a drinking game.”
“Sounds good,” Aria agrees. “We can also order in then, instead of going to the restaurant.”
“Yes.” Carla begins to look excited about our evening plans. “Lots of snacks, alcohol, and some fun. Just what the doctor ordered.”
When we walk into the suite, Noah glances at us from where he’s watching TV.
“No plans?” I ask as I set my bag down by the couch.
“Nope.” He stretches out. “I’m just going to chill tonight, seeing as I have to help Kao and Fallon move tomorrow.”
“Oh, they roped you in as well,” I let out a chuckle.
“Yeah. Does that mean you’re also helping?” he asks.
“I think the whole group is helping them move,” Aria mentions. “We’re just going to hang and play a drinking game. Do you want to join us?”
Noah nods. “Sure. Beats watching TV.”
“What game are we playing?” I ask, glancing at everyone.
“We can play fear pong,” Noah mentions.
“Fear pong?” Aria asks, her eyes widening.
“Yeah, we write dares on the bottom of the cups, and you either do the dare or drink. The winning team wins two hundred dollars,” Noah explains.
“Team?” Carla asks, her eyes settling on Noah, and then she begins to laugh. “God, this is going to be priceless.”
Noah shakes his head. “Enlighten me as to why?”
She smirks at him. “You and I. We’re on a team.”
“Fuck,” he grumbles.
“I’m first going to change into my sweatpants,” Aria says.
“Me too.” Carla follows after her, and once they’re out of earshot, I look back at Noah and ask, “Will the two of you manage to not kill each other tonight?”
Noah chuckles. “Yeah, don’t worry. I’ll take it easy on her.”
“Thanks. I’m going to change as well.” I begin to walk down the hallway, then pause to ask, “Do we have solo cups for this game?”
“Yeah, and there’s whiskey. We’re sorted.”
I give him a chin lift then go to change out of my clothes.
We’re using the island in the kitchen, and Noah’s set up cups on either side. I lift one to see what kind of dares the girls have written on them and then laugh.
“Tell the opposing team about a dirty fantasy you would never actually do in real life?” My eyes dart to Carla and Aria. “Seriously?”
Carla shrugs. “We got the dares online.”
“I have a dirty fantasy,” Noah mutters. “It involves tape and Carla’s mouth.”
I try not to laugh but fail and end up snorting.
“Yeah?” Carla glances at Noah. “You don’t want to hear mine.”
Noah lifts his chin, his eyes settling on her. “Let me hear it.”
“It involves you having three adam’s apples,” she sasses him.
“Okay,” Aria says before they can start fighting, “time to play the game. Also, we have to take turns reading the dares because some of them are meant for one person only.” She tosses the ball to Carla. “You can go first.”
Aria comes to stand next to me, and we watch as Carla throws the ball into a cup.
Carla lets out a happy shriek.
“Lucky shot,” I tease her as I reach for a cup. Turning it over, I read out loud, “Do whatever your partner wants for the rest of the day.” My gaze darts to Carla. “So, I have to do whatever Aria tells me?” I ask to clarify.
“Pretty much,” Noah answers. “Or you can drink.”
“She bosses me around anyway,” I joke as I put the cup down. Picking up the ball, I throw it, and it misses a cup by a ball hair. “Shit. What now?”
“You both drink,” Carla grins at us.
Aria and I each drink a shot of whiskey. It’s Noah’s turn, and he lands the ball in a cup.
Aria checks the dare, and then she lets out a snort of laughter. “Act out your three favorite sex positions, roles reversed.”
Noah lets out a bark of laughter. “This is going to be good.”
Aria slaps me on the ass then says, “Bend over, baby.”
I swear to God, if we were alone now, I’d bend her over.
I do as she asks, and then she starts to hump my butt, yelling, “Who’s your daddy?”
Uncontrollable laughter explodes from me, and when Noah disappears behind the counter as he sinks to the floor, I struggle to breathe as I crack up.
Aria struggles to talk as she says, “You need to sit on the counter cause I can’t pick you up.”
I hop on, and when she acts out the movement, I try to rein in my laughter long enough to press a kiss to her mouth.
Aria points to the floor. “Lie on your stomach.”
Again, I do as she says, and then she lies down on me, resting her cheek on my back. “That wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.”
Carla wipes tears from her face. “I wish I could’ve recorded that. Best ever.”
ARIA
“My turn,” I say, totally enjoying the game. I throw the ball and then let out a happy shriek when it lands in a cup. “Yasss!” Forest and I high five then turn to watch as Noah picks up a cup.
“Aww, fuck,” he mutters. “Let your partner cut off your shirt.” Noah looks up with wide eyes. “I fucking love this shirt.”
“I’ll let you change into one you’re not too fond of,” Carla surprises us all by taking it easy on Noah.
“Be right back.” He darts down the hallway, and a minute later, he’s back wearing a plain white shirt. “Don’t stab me.”
“Damn, there you go and ruin it for me,” Carla says while she gets the scissors from the drawer. With a grin on her face, she goes to stand in front of Noah, and taking hold of the shirt, she begins to cut right through it.
Noah’s eyes are locked on her face.
Holy shit.
I begin to yank Forest’s hand, my eyes wide on them.
Yeah, there’s definitely tension there. I’m just not sure what kind.
Carla sets the scissors down, and while meeting Noah’s gaze, she slips her hands under the fabric and pushes it down his arms until it drops to the floor.
Hot. Damn.
I’m gonna take a wild guess and go with the sexual kind of tension.
Carla throws the ball while Noah downs a drink.
Yeah, Noah’s not as unaffected by Carla as he’d like us all to believe.
Carla gets a ball in, and Forest checks the dare. “Talk dirty to your partner for a full thirty seconds.” He turns to me, a grin tugging at the corner of his mouth. “I would love to bend you over the counter.” I let out a chuckle when it reminds me of the dare I had to act out.
Forest’s voice drops lower as he says, “I can’t wait to spank you.” There’s a tightening in my core, and I clench my legs together.
He steps closer to me and leaning down until I can feel his breath skim over my ear, he whispers, “I want you to suck my cock until I come in your mouth.”
Holy shit. If we were alone right now, I’d do just that.
Forest leaves me feeling breathless and hot so he can throw the ball, and just like Noah earlier, I down a drink to cool myself off.
When Forest sinks the ball, Carla picks up a cup, and a grin instantly spreads over her face. “Fake an orgasm with your partner.” She turns to Noah, and closing the distance between them, she places her hand on his shoulder. Standing on her toes, she lets out a sexy as hell moan right by his ear. “God, Noah,” she groans. “Harder.”
I cover my mouth with my hand, so I won’t make a sound, my eyes wide on them.
“Ah… ah… yes, right there.” Carla presses her body against Noah’s, and his hand shoots to her hip. She lets out a breathy moan, “Ah… God, I’m going to come. Yes. Fuck, Noah.�
� And then she lets out a cry that has my eyebrows shooting into my hairline.
I’m still blinking when Carla pulls back, giving Noah a smug look. “You can wipe the drool off your mouth. The show’s over.”
Noah snaps out of it, and his expression instantly becomes impassive. “I think we should take a break and order in.”
“Yeah, sure,” Forest says, walking to where the menu is. “What are you all in the mood for?”
“Noah wants a cold shower,” Carla chuckles.
My eyes dart to Noah, and I watch as he opens the freezer. He takes out some ice, and before Carla can dart away, he grabs hold of her arm and drops the cubes down the back of her shirt.
“Oh God!” Carla shrieks. She does a weird dance as she shakes and wiggles her body to get rid of the ice.
Forest cracks up laughing, using the menu to cover his face.
Noah lets out a chuckle. “It looked like you were overheating, so I thought I’d help out.” He winks at Carla, who’s still gasping for air, then he goes to take the menu from Forest. “Should we get platters?”
“Sounds good,” I answer because Forest is still laughing at Carla.
Chapter 11
FOREST
Tonight turned out to be a lot of fun. Even Noah and Carla seemed okay with each other.
After showering, I pull on a pair of sweatpants then climb into bed. I tuck my arms under my head and stare up at the ceiling.
My door opens, and I watch as Aria sneaks in. She locks it before walking to the bed and climbing onto the mattress. I begin to pull my one arm free, but then she whispers, “Don’t move.”
“Why?”
“It’s part of the dare. You have to do whatever I say,” she reminds me.
I let out a chuckle. “Okay. I’m not moving.”
Aria pushes the covers off me before straddling my hips. Leaning forward, she presses a kiss to my chest. “So, you want me to suck you until you come in my mouth?”
Fuck, yeah.
