Alien Affair

by Gloria Martin

  “I can get away for half an hour,” an excitement built up inside me at the prospect of getting some booze in my system – only a little bit of course if I needed to get back to work – but it would be an opportunity to blow off a little steam at least. “But we need to go now.”

  I grabbed hold of her hand, and pulled her from the gym – both of us laughing like naughty children.

  It was certainly a surprising turn of events – me sneaking off with the girl I thought I hated for drinks – but it was a welcome one. I certainly wasn’t feeling as crappy about myself at any rate.

  Drinks with Logan had been the most fun I’d had in a while. If we’d met under any sort of different circumstance, I might be thinking now that we could be friends. But as with everything in my life at that moment, it was far too complicated for that.

  We had a lot in common, a very similar sense of humor, and we both loved cocktails, but Brad’s presence was there between us the entire time – an invisible barrier that we just couldn’t quite get past.

  I hated to think that my crazy rebound fling had hurt someone as sweet and funny as Logan. Unrequited love was painful – we’d all been there at one time or another – and I hated to be the reason to make that pain any worse.

  During our workout session, Brad had hinted at the possibility of hooking up again, and at the time I’d been all for it, but after spending time with Logan, the risk just didn’t seem worth it. I already had the fear of Harry finding out, and adding Logan into the equation just made it a million times worse. So no more sex. I had to stop it now.

  But I really wanted it!

  After I got home, and I had a really long think about everything, I came to a conclusion. I would back off from Brad in a personal sense, but keep him on as my trainer. He was far too good in that sense for me to give him up. Luckily we’d only slept together the once, which meant I didn’t really have any explaining to do. I would just back off, be nothing but his client, and soon enough I was sure that he would be on to the next.

  I didn’t know if Brad was a ladies’ man or not, but with his looks and sexual prowess, I was sure that the opportunity was always there. I convinced myself that if I followed this course of action, it wouldn’t be long until I was nothing more than a distant memory to him.

  Okay, something was definitely going on. It was obvious.

  Anna was definitely being weird with me; there was no doubt about it. Gone was the flirty banter, the sweet smiles, and the fun, sizzling sexual tension between us. Instead, a cold shoulder had replaced it – she was cool, polite, and would only speak to me about training. It was bizarre. Something had shifted her mood, and I desperately needed to know what. But she was giving me nothing, no matter what I said or did.

  I’d tried talking to her over and over again during our workout sessions, but she was a closed, impenetrable book. The only thing I could think of was that Harry had found out, and that he’d forced her to break things off with me. But that didn’t quite add up because I’d seen him recently, and he hadn’t mentioned anything. He wasn’t the sort to bottle stuff up and keep it inside. He would blow his top quickly, but cool down after a while too – allowing you to explain. It didn’t make any sense.

  No, it had to be something else.

  “Anna,” I finally asked, just as she turned to walk away from me at the end of our session. “Wait.”

  “What’s wrong?” she replied tersely, folding her arms across her chest, making her closed off body language clear.

  “I just…” I was going to ask her what was going on with her again, but quickly decided that it was time to change my tactic. It hadn’t worked for me so far, so chances were it never would. “Will you go for a drink with me tonight? Please?” I gave her the puppy dog eyes, internally begging her to agree, and after a short while she nodded quickly.

  “Okay.” She didn’t look particularly happy as she answered, more constrained, I guess. But I felt elated. In a more relaxed environment I would definitely be able to resolve things. All these issues would melt away, and we could get back to the possibility of us.

  “Come on,” Anna smiled at me and tugged on my arm. “Let’s go.” I wasn’t sure why she was so insistent that I go out with her again, but her enthusiasm was infectious. Plus it beat sitting around moping at home. At least if I was out, there was a slight possibility that I might actually enjoy myself.

  “Okay, okay…” I laughed as she dragged me through the door of a trendy bar. “I’m coming…” But as we stepped inside, I stopped dead in my tracks, an iciness encompassing my spine.

  Brad.

  Brad was sitting there, at the bar, holding a bottle of beer in his hands. Looking far more gorgeous than I could even stand to look at.

  I glanced at Anna questioningly and a guilty expression instantly spread across her face.

  She’d set this up. She was up to something. But what? What the hell did she think she was going to achieve with this? Did she think this was some sort of fucking movie where everything would just magically work out? What a crazy bitch!

  “Hi Brad,” she waved at him, trying to blow over the awkwardness, but he wasn’t having it either.

  “Logan?” He asked, staring at me weirdly. “What are you doing here?” I could see why he was confused – he had no idea that Anna and I knew one another. Plus, we were friends, but not close enough to hang out outside of work. Everything about this was weird. Anna was an idiot for setting it up. It was doomed to fail from the start.

  “I just…” Anna started, looking as if she’d rehearsed this, as if she’d been practicing her introductory speech. “I think we all need a talk.”

  A talk.

  Oh God, a talk would be awful. Talks never led anywhere good, didn’t she know that?

  “What about?” Brad asked suspiciously, looking at me to see if I had any idea. I tried to shrug, to act innocent, but I wasn’t fooling anyone. I might not have been a part of this plan, but I knew exactly where Anna was going with it.

  “Look,” Anna started kindly. “Brad, Logan told me something this week. Something that affects us all, and I think he needs to discuss it with you so we can move forward somehow.”

  In that moment, it felt like she was throwing me under the bus, and I wanted to kill her for it. I wasn’t ready to tell anyone how I felt about Brad – least of all him! This was what I got for being stupid enough to open up to a strange woman. I really only had myself to blame.

  “I…” I began. I could feel my face heating up with embarrassment, and I hated feeling that way. If I could have prepared for this, then maybe I would have been able to deal with it much better! I took in a deep breath and forced myself to just say it. Now my feelings for Brad were out there, the longer I avoided confronting him, the worse things would get. There was no way I was getting away with it now! “I like you, Brad. A lot.” I kept my eyes focused on my shoes as I spoke. “I always have done, and it hurt me to see you and Anna together. That’s why… that’s why it affects us all.”

  “Wow,” he gasped, completely stunned. “I had no idea.” I knew he hadn’t, I’d made sure of that, but something sparked inside of me. Maybe now that he knew, things would change…?

  I glanced up at him, allowing a smile to play on my lips. “I don’t want it to affect our friendship or anything, I don’t want to lose you over this…”

  “No,” he reassured me. “You won’t.” He gave me a look, one that I couldn’t quite decipher, then we both fell into silence.

  Sensing the awkwardness in the air, Anna decided to take over and to shake things up a bit. “Okay, now that’s been said, let’s go and get drunk!”

  As I went up to the bar to order in some drinks, I let out a breath that I felt like I’d been holding for a very long time.

  Anna

  Well, that might not have been
the most successful blind date in the world, but at least we were all talking, laughing, drinking and having a good time. Considering how the previous week had gone, it was a massive improvement. We were all much happier, which was better than nothing.

  The funny thing was I thought I could sense something between Brad and Logan. I couldn’t be totally sure, but I could almost feel it. Brad had never given me any indication that he was sexually attracted to guys, but then again why would he have? Or was the alcohol affecting him?

  Then again, Brad was still being incredibly flirty with me too, which was bringing up all kinds of desires that I hadn’t had the opportunity to play out with him yet. Despite everything else, I was still totally into him, and I didn’t quite feel done with him.

  As we all danced in some terribly tacky night club, Brad leaned forward and whispered huskily into my ear. “I want you badly.” I giggled coyly, knowing that I shouldn’t even be considering the offer while Logan was there, but also finding him very hard to resist. The alcohol in my system was leaving me feeling much more uninhibited, much needier for him. “But,” he continued. “I want Logan too.”

  My heart stopped as those words passed his lips. Was he serious? What the hell was he telling me here? Was he trying to tell me that he was bi? Or was he trying to suggest something else? But what? Was this the alcohol talking? How much had he drunk?

  “What… what do you mean?” I gasped. I needed to know. My mind was already racing with possibilities and I needed a definitive answer.

  “I mean I want you. I want Logan,” he said, with a slight slur. Fuck it, I was pretty drunk, too. The thought of the three of us sent funny shivers down my spine.

  “You mean… a threesome?”

  He smiled, and nodded. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. My mind was a little confused by the idea, but my body was on fire. My body was aching for it! I’d never done anything that experimental before, but suddenly I really wanted to.

  “I don’t know if Logan would go for that,” I chuckled, trying to hide the weird way that he was making me feel.

  “Thing is,” he was so close now that I could feel his breath on my neck. “I’ve already spoken to Logan, and he’s very keen.”

  What? Really? Oh God, it all became a lot more real in that moment. “But isn’t he only into guys?” Logan had never given me any indication otherwise.

  “No, he’s bi. He likes women too. He likes you a lot actually.” I’d never heard Brad sounding so turned on, and that was turning me to jelly. I was almost trembling with desire.

  I shot Logan a look, and the shy wave he gave me confirmed exactly what Brad was saying. He did like me too. He did want this to happen.

  Was I actually considering it too? What would be the consequences if it did? Then again, if we were all on board, surely everything would be fine?

  “I don’t know…” I said, despite the strange lust that I felt. A threesome just didn’t seem like the sort of thing that I would do. But then I checked myself. ‘The sort of thing I would do’ got me a broken relationship with an asshole, a crappy job that I despised, and a tiny, suffocating bedroom at my parent’s home. Yeah, being me was rubbish. Maybe it was time to step outside of the box. “Yeah, okay.” I finally heard myself deciding. “Let’s do it.”

  And with that, Brad kissed me with more passion than anyone ever had done before, making me feel embarrassed to be in public. This was the sort of kiss that really should be reserved for the privacy of someone’s home!

  “Come on, let’s go.” He finally tugged us both from the bar, and into a future in which anything could happen.

  One that I was very excited about.

  Brad

  My heart pounded furiously as the car pulled up outside my apartment. I’d never been with a guy before, although for some years I’d wanted to try it. I’d just never had to the courage to do anything about it, until those words had left Logan’s lips and gave me the beginnings of an erection. I was far too intrigued to resist.

  I needed to know what he would be like, how he would make me feel, but something inside of me needed Anna there too. Having both of them at my disposal turned me on more than ever before.

  We walked through the doors of my house in silence, a thick sexual tension hanging in the air. Logan looked horny as hell, Anna looked anxious and oddly intrigued, and I felt an excited anticipation coursing through my veins. None of us had any idea where this would lead, and that made it that much more fun.

  In my eagerness to get things started, I quickly stepped forward and kissed Anna again – she was the perfect place to start. Familiar, sweet, and hot as all hell. I knew she was dangerous, I knew things would go to pot if Harry ever found out about us (even more so now!) but I couldn’t seem to keep away from her.

  She responded enthusiastically, tangling her hands up in my hair all over again. This reminded me of the last time we were together in the gym, and my cock sprung to attention. That had been the hottest sex I’d ever had to date, and I had a feeling that tonight was going to top that. I certainly couldn’t wait to find out.

  This time, as we pulled apart from one another, I spun around and began to kiss Logan, before I could change my mind. Kissing him was a different experience to Anna, but one that got me going just as much. His lips weren’t as soft, and his darting tongue was harder and hungrier, but this contrast made it all the more exciting.

  Especially when he cupped my throbbing erection in his hand in a way that made me even harder.

  “Oh shit,” I groaned, losing myself far more than I thought I would, under his touch. He massaged me, kissing my neck, and I felt like I might lose my shit right there in my hallway.

  “Shall we go upstairs?” I heard Anna ask coyly behind me, and I nodded quickly. Any more and I might have just lost it. I needed to get somewhere that I could steady myself.

  Once in my bedroom, Anna laid herself across the sheets, trying to look comfortable in this strange situation. Wanting her to feel more at home, I knelt down and began to tug her trousers off. While I undressed her slowly, Logan leant next to her and began to kiss her in a way that was surprisingly sexy. She seemed to be enjoying herself, as did he, and I found that really arousing. So much so, that a tiny part of was tempted to simply sit back and watch.

  Almost. I was still very keen to have them both.

  I heard Anna slide her top off, and Logan playing with her breasts, so I got in closer, and began to taste hot sweet desire all over again. I flicked my tongue over her clit in a way that I already knew she liked. She arched her back and began to tremble almost right away – clearly she was just as excited about this as I was!

  After only a few more moments, she moved herself into a sitting position, preventing me from continuing.

  “No,” she panted. “No, not like this. I don’t want to be the only naked one.”

  I sent a smile to Logan, and we both began to remove our clothes in unison, almost jokingly as if we were doing a strip show for Anna. I started off watching her eyes widen in surprise, but I continually found my gaze drifting over to Logan and his sexy, sculpted body as his clothing peeled away. He worked hard for that body, and it showed. He was extremely hot. More so than I’d ever given him credit for before.

  He saw me watching him, and he shot me a flirtatious wink. Then I stared in a stunned silence as he stepped forward, and took my cock in his hand, sliding it up and down in a way that felt utterly amazing.

  Logan

  I couldn’t believe it was actually happening. I’d dreamt of this moment, fantasized over the prospect of it, for what felt like forever, and it was better than I could have ever hoped for. He was much bigger than I thought he was going to be!

  I pushed him back on the bed, wanting him helpless for me. Anna scooted backwards, and watched carefully as I leant forward to kiss him tenderly. The moment was sexy, hot as anything, but I wanted there to be an element of romance too. I was well aware that Anna was
there, and I was fine with that, I even wanted her to be, but I wanted me to be the one that Brad remembered afterwards.

  With that in mind, I wrapped my lips around his cock, taking him to the back of my throat, while he used his hand to pleasure Anna. I really got into it, enjoying Brad writhing with pleasure under what I was doing to him, but it wasn’t enough for Anna. She was hungry, greedy for more, so after a while, just before Brad climaxed, she nudged me aside to ride him.

  He took me in his hand to ensure that I enjoyed myself too, but that was the first real moment that I regretted my decision to take part in this threesome. I wished Anna wasn’t in the picture at all.

  Hours later, I was still reeling from the amazing orgasm the boys had given me. Days later even.

  On the other hand, things at the gym had become very difficult. The atmosphere was unpleasant, and it put a strain on the rest of my life. My job became too challenging to concentrate on; my relationship with my family started to become increasingly strained. I’d snap at them, or close myself off from them.

  And it was all because of these two very difficult men.

  Things could have remained fun, light and sexy, but somehow it hadn’t quite worked out that way.

  My friendship with Logan had disintegrated to almost nothing. Now all he made were bitchy comments about me, and about what had happened. It had obviously hurt him, and I felt bad for that, but he’d been there, a part of it. We were all consenting adults, so I wasn’t sure why his anger was solely being directed at me. It was awful, I hated every second of it, and it was starting to make me regret what had been one of the wildest, most enjoyable nights in my entire life.

  Things with Brad had deteriorated too. Not only was the constant worry about Harry finding out still there – which had only intensified with the threesome, I did not want my brother ever finding out about that one – but the toxicity between myself and Logan was making every single interaction between us strained.
