Between the Sheets

by Bella Emy

  He chuckles and grabs me from under my arms, pulling me up to meet his face. He kisses me as my body automatically reacts and climbs on top of him, taking everything he is giving me. I’m hungry, greedy for him, and I won’t stop until he pushes me away.

  Derek

  Oh, Derek. What the fuck have you gotten yourself into? You’re crazy about this chick, and she’s not realizing it. She thinks you’re just in it to sleep with her. And while, yes, that may have been how it all started out, that’s not the case anymore.

  Her body moves on top of mine as we kiss. I swear she seems like she wants to fuck again, and who I am to deny her of King D’s king D?

  I bring down two fingers to her pussy and shove them inside of her. She moans like a damn pornstar. The sound of it makes me want to ram my cock into her cunt. Fuck, she’s so damn wet. I pull them out, and instead, slide my dick up inside of her.

  We fuck until she releases on top of me, and I follow close behind her. Damn, I can’t get enough of sweet Ellie. I love the way she feels, the way she moves on top of me. She’s just fucking perfect.

  She giggles as she climbs off of me and resumes her position nestled under my arm. She belongs here… just like this.

  Wait. What the fuck am I talking about? This isn’t right. I can’t do this to her.

  What the fuck am I going to do? I swear I feel like I’m head over heels in love with this beautiful angel. I hear her talking and just wish she’d turn around and say she loves me. Then I could tell her I love her, too.

  Would she even believe me, though? I guess it doesn’t matter. Ellie would never allow herself to fall in love with me. She would never want to date a man like me. As far as she’s concerned, I’m only in it for the sex. The amazing sex…

  But I’m not. Sure, the sex is great, but that’s a bonus. I really love this woman. I realize that now. Whatever I was thinking before about just being able to sleep with her and not being affected by it has gone out the window. There’s no way she’s just another piece of ass.

  Anyway, it kills me, but I know she deserves better. Of course, my feelings for her are real. But I’m Derek Mykels. Am I capable of being truthful? Would I even be able to remain faithful to her if another hot chick walked by? Or will these feelings I feel for Ellie eventually fade? I don’t want to end up breaking her heart later. That wouldn’t be right.

  Her lying here with me, so peacefully, so beautifully… it’s more than I could ever want. But this is the now. What about a few months down the road? I’m not the type of man who is capable of being in a relationship anymore. I know that. She deserves a man that is going to be good to her, someone who is going to treat her like the queen that she is.

  Not me. God knows what I’ll be capable of a couple of months down the line. I don’t even want to think about hurting her. That would kill me to see her so upset.

  But listen to me. I’m talking like I even have a shot with her. But it’s totally obvious that I don’t, not in the way she wants. She is looking for a good guy, someone who is able and willing to be with her for the long run. Not someone like me who is only willing to sleep with her for now. And what happens when the right guy comes along? It’s going to be over for me.

  She’ll never date a guy like me, let alone fall in love with me. She has her guard up. She knows better than to fall for me. She’s a smart woman. Plus, Lauren would not be happy about any of this. Sure, she wants to see me with someone like Ellie, but not Ellie. She’d probably kill me for even thinking like this.

  I know what I have to do. It’s going to suck, but I really need to pull away before I fall too deep. And before she even has a chance to fall for me. I know she won’t purposely do it because of the way I am. But what if it happens? I need to protect her heart. I need to let her go. I don’t want to hurt her in any way.

  But how the fuck do I let go of Ellie? All I want is to continue lying next to her, whispering in her ear, kissing her, feeling her move around in my arms. I love the way she moves… the way she feels... the way she smells. What the fuck am I going to do?

  “D, you still awake?” she whispers.

  “Yes, baby. I am,” I place a soft kiss on the top of her head. God, I don’t want to move tonight.

  She giggles softly. “Oh, you’ve just been so quiet… I thought maybe you passed out.”

  I don’t think I can sleep tonight with everything on my mind, but I need to try. If I get up and try to leave her now, she’s going to know something is up, and this is not something I want to be discussing with her now.

  “Not yet, sweetheart, but maybe we should sleep for a little while.” She lets out a deep breath, and I feel her body beginning to relax once again.

  “Goodnight, sweetheart.”

  “Good… night…” she murmurs. She’s falling asleep.

  But honestly, I can’t just go now. I need this last night with her before I have to deal with the reality of the situation and let her go. I need one last night to enjoy what we have right now.

  I drag my ass into work the following morning, and man, did it hurt to leave Ellie there. She looked so beautiful, and I had been so tempted to wake her and give her some more of King D.

  But I know I can’t. I promised myself that I would start pulling away from her, and I know that’s exactly what I need to do.

  No more fucking her.

  No more kissing her.

  No more Ellie whatsoever.

  I need to stay away from the house when I know Lauren won’t be there, and we’ll be alone. I also know that in order for me to forget about Ellie, I’m going to need to start seeing other girls. It makes me sad to think about it, but I know how I am. I’m going to need to get laid again so I’m not tempted to sleep with her. I know it didn’t work out so well the last time I tried this, but now that I know it’s not just lust I feel for her, I have no choice. It’s going to have to work whether I like it or not.

  So, since last night, I’ve been thinking of possible chicks I can start spending some time with so that I can keep myself occupied and away from Ellie.

  There’s Bailey, the girl from the gym. Bailey is blonde with green eyes and an amazingly toned body. She is way into fitness, and she’s beautiful. I had slept with her once in the past, and from what I remember, she had quite a few tricks up her sleeve. I think I may need to see what else she’s learned since the last time I was with her.

  There’s also Tonya. Tonya is the feisty redhead who works at the bar downtown where we sometimes hang out. She’s petite, but man, her booty is so round. I loved grabbing it while I’d hit it from behind. Yeah, she had also slept with me at the beginning of last year.

  What can I say, I’ve always gotten around. What woman doesn’t want a taste of King D? They all do, and if they don’t, they’re lying. Even if at first they say they don’t, I always have my way and charm them before we part ways. Before we say goodnight, they’re begging me to spread their legs and fill them with my hard goodness.

  There’s also Gina, the sexy receptionist at my sister’s job. I met her a few years back when Lauren started working at the construction site. They had a company Christmas party, and she had brought me with her since she was new and single back then. She didn’t want to be at the party with a bunch of guys. Gina was the only other girl who worked there with her. Long story short, by the end of the night, Gina and I had become fairly acquainted inside one of the closets. Lauren found us, and that was the last time she ever brought me with her to any company events. Oops. I fucked that up royally, but Gina had been worth it. I did get to see her again once more after that at her place–she had slipped me her number before Lauren had managed to pull me out of the closet by my tie–but that was the last time I boned her. Then it was on to the next one.

  I walk in from the shop’s back entrance and find Danny sitting behind the counter sipping on his coffee as I stroll on in before hours. The shop won’t open till 10 a.m. so we have a little bit of time to kill. Usually, we’l
l sit around bullshitting for a while and just check out funny videos online.

  “Morning, douche,” I say as his head lifts up to look my way.

  “D Man… you finally decided to show? We’re about to close up for the day.”

  “What the fuck are you talking about, man?” I laugh. Danny is always joking around.

  He shrugs. “I was here late last night… and guess who waltzed right in looking for your ass?”

  “I got no clue, man. I was busy getting laid. You should try it sometime.”

  He shakes his head. “D, if you knew who it was, you would be slapping yourself for missing it.”

  “I doubt that. But who was it?” I question.

  “Natasha,” he plainly states as a smug grin graces his face.

  “Natasha?” I furrow my brows. I hadn’t seen her in a bit, and she hadn’t tried calling or texting me. Maybe I should call her now. I could try to see if she’d help me forget about Ellie this time around. Now that I know I can’t keep screwing Ellie, maybe it will work.

  “Yeah, Natasha. The hottest chick around. She was looking for you, man. What a waste,” he chuckles.

  “Shut the fuck up, ass. What did she want?”

  He shrugs again. “Don’t know. She just said she needed to talk to you. She was like, ‘Oh, Dannnny… I need to speak with Derek… I need to see him, please!’ and she kept biting her lips… she was so horny, you could see it in her face, dude.” He starts cracking up. “She looked hot, though… she had on this white top and she kept tracing patterns on her chest with her fingers… her cleavage was practically begging for my tongue to lick up in between it,” he laughs.

  “Dude, you don’t wanna go there.” I’d slept with her plenty of times, along with most dudes around town, but I know given the chance, Danny would jump on it. He’s found Natasha hot for as long as I can remember. He’s not wrong, though. She is a beautiful woman.

  He nods frantically. “Oh, yes. I do. Man, if she had been looking for me, I’d drop everything and fuck her big amazing tits. If I had a chance with her like you do, I’d go for it. The chick is fire.”

  He’s talking like he doesn’t get laid on the regular. He totally does, and a lot of the time, it’s with the women he meets here.

  I dismiss his comment. “She didn’t say what it was about? What she wanted to speak to me about?”

  “Nope. But if I were you, I’d call her back or maybe just show up at her place. She needs a good fuck. Man, what I would do to that beautiful…” Danny chugs down some more of his coffee, stopping himself from going any further. I had given him a look. I’m not hating. He could have Natasha if he wanted, if she wanted him. It’s just that right now, I need her. I need to forget Ellie once and for all. Sure, it hadn’t worked before, but this time I’m determined.

  I look at my calendar app on my phone and click on today’s date. I don’t have any appointments ‘til later, so I say, “Yo, I don’t have anyone coming in for another three hours. I’ll be back.” I turn to head out of the shop.

  “Go, D! Go get some pussy, you prick!” Danny shouts.

  I turn back to face him and chuckle. “Fuck you, man.” I turn right back around, give him the middle finger and walk right out of the store.

  As I walk to my car, I go through my list of contacts and find Natasha’s number. I click on it, and she picks up almost instantly.

  “D, baby. I’ve missed you so much,” her sexy voice comes through on the phone.

  I let out a deep sigh… here goes nothing.

  “Hi, sexy. I heard you came looking for me at work.” I find my car, unlock it, and get in. I buckle up, check my mirrors, and start the ignition. As much as I don’t want to do this right now, I know I have to. I’m going to see her, even if she doesn’t know it yet.

  “Oh, yes, D. I need me some D. You free today? Can you come see me? I’ve got these new laced panties I want to show you,” she coos. Thinking of her in her lingerie makes my dick instantly harden.

  “I’m free right now. I’m on my way.”

  Ellie

  It’s the middle of May, but lately, it feels like November. My heart is so gloomy, and I honestly don’t know what the problem is.

  No. I’m lying. I know exactly what the problem is, and it’s eating me up inside. Derek and I are on weird terms, and it sucks. I really don’t know what the hell is going on, but shit is not the same between us. Yeah, we’re still sleeping together, but it’s not as much, and it’s not like it used to be. I don’t feel that connection to him anymore. It’s like he’s in another room or his mind is elsewhere. I’ve asked him about it a few times, but he insists nothing is wrong, or that nothing has changed. Usually when Lauren would be on her way out, he’d stay home with me so that we could be together. Lately, more times than not, he’s been making excuses to leave. Either he has to check in with Danny at work and has appointments that he forgot to mention to me, or he has to head out for a bit, never telling me where else he has to go.

  I hate to admit it, but I really feel like he’s seeing someone else. It’s been killing me, but that’s how I really feel. If he’s not sleeping with me as much as he used to, he’s definitely sleeping with someone else. When was there ever a time that D would pass up sex for something else? Never. Nothing means more to Derek than sex, so this is definitely a red flag.

  I’m so sad. I don’t know how to get over this feeling or what to do to make things right with us again. I mean, I know this is my fault. I fell for a guy knowing he isn’t the type to want to settle down. I knew the day would come when he’d start getting tired of sleeping with me and want to see someone else. I was so stupid to continue sleeping with him after the first time. I probably shouldn’t have even allowed myself to sleep with him in the first place at all.

  Damn, I should have known better. I mean, I did. Of course, I did. All I’ve been saying since I’ve known Derek is that I need to keep away. The wise thing to do would be to keep my pussy locked up and as far away from him as possible. But what had I gone and done? I had gone ahead and ignored my conscience, spreading my legs for him to imprint himself on me. Now, I’m screwed. I’m such a moron. I’m such a fucking idiot.

  The sucky thing about all this is that I can’t even talk to Lauren about it. She’s been my best friend for as long as I can remember, but now I have this massive secret to keep from her. Usually when I’d have guy problems, or I’m stressing about a guy, I’d go to her and vent and listen to her giving me advice.

  I can’t tell her I was screwing Derek and that now something is up with him. She’d have my head hanging on the wall, and after she’d be done with me, she’d go chop his balls off and drape them over my head. Lovely mental image, I know.

  It really sucks, but I think I need to find another man to make me forget about Derek. I need someone the total opposite of D to sweep me off my feet. Someone tall, and handsome, bearded and tatted… someone who would lie me down and own my body in the middle of the night. Someone with dark brown eyes that every time I’d look into them, I’d lose myself.

  Fuck, man. I realize I have just described Derek to a T. That’s him completely. How can I find another Derek? God, I don’t even want to think about touching another guy, but what can I do? Am I supposed to just wait for the day Derek becomes a faithful guy and ends up falling in love with me? Ha! Yeah right. Like that will ever happen.

  I know I’m not his type. He loves blondes. Blondes with huge boobs, and that’s just not me. My boobs aren’t that small, but I know he likes them bigger. Ugh, what is it about guys loving humongous melons? Mine are just as fun…

  Ugh! I hate the fact that this thing, this situation I’m in, is driving me crazy! To even compare myself to the airheads he’s typically into? Fuck, man! Damn you, Derek Mykels!

  “Earth to Ells? Are you in there?” Lauren comes over and knocks on my head.

  “Yeah, yeah. I’m here. Sorry, just stressing… about work, you know?” I lie. God, this sucks. Lord know
s I need her advice right now more than anything. Why the hell did I have to go and sleep with her brother?

  She comes to sit next to me on the couch with her wedding planner in front of her. She’s making last minute detail decisions on flowers. She’s got some teal-toned flowers to accent the rest of the bouquet. It matches the bridesmaids’ dresses she chose perfectly. Which, by the way, she had been right. The dresses she found had looked really pretty and flattering on me. They were simple with very little detail, but each bridesmaid in her party had agreed they were so delicate and charming.

  “Work? Woman, we need to get you out a little to have some fun. It’s been a long time since Shaun. I think we may need to find you someone of the opposite sex to spend some time with,” she suggests.

  I turn to face her, my eyes wide. “Laur, no. It’s okay. Really. I’m not ready to find someone else.” But honestly, that’s what I had just said I needed to do, right? She thinks I need to forget about Shaun, but in all reality, I need to forget all about her twin brother.

  “Oh, yes! And you know what? I know just the guy! Kev’s best friend is recently single, and he’s a sweetheart!” She has turned her body to face me, and the excitement on her face is beaming. Fuck me sideways.

  “No, no, no, Lauren. Please don’t.”

  She nods her head. “Yeah, actually. I think this will be perfect! You two would look so cute together, and you know what else? I’ve been thinking of doing this for quite some time now…”

  Oh, God. “Do what now? Hook me up with Kev’s friend?”

  She shakes her head and jumps up, crossing her legs to sit Indian-style on the couch. “No! Check this out! Forget Kev’s friend. You don’t even have to see him if you don’t want to. Although, I don’t think that would be such a bad idea.” She places a finger on her chin. “I’ve been thinking of throwing D a surprise party for his birthday next month.”
