They’d been fucking for weeks, and it hadn’t changed a thing in their relationship. Heidi was secretly relieved they could separate the sex from their friendship so as not to complicate things, or so she kept telling herself. She couldn’t bear the thought of losing Nathan. He was too important. They still did their own things at times, but she’d been beyond satisfied each night as Nathan seemed to be fucking only her lately. It was going so well despite their lack of conversation on exclusivity, and to thank him, she’d decided to up the playing field a little by bringing Rafe into the mix.
Rafe was the tall Greek Adonis from down the hall who had no trouble gaining attention. He’d moved into their building the previous year and flirted with both her and Nathan constantly, so when she had approached him the week before with a threesome offer, she was delighted when he’d eagerly accepted.
Nathan was due home from work at any moment, and Rafe, one half of his surprise, was tied to his bed with silk scarves. Heidi had planned everything out. She’d even gone to her favorite lingerie store to buy something sexy. Nathan had wanted her to spice it up initially, and she wanted to keep him happy. She envisioned him walking through the door, where she’d greet him with a kiss. She’d tell him about his surprise as she gave him a seductive striptease, revealing the sexy lingerie underneath her clothes, and work her way up to the blindfold before revealing a tempting naked Rafe for them to play with. So when she heard the door open, she started to dance for him and seductively swayed her hips to the music playing in the background. Only things hadn’t gone exactly as planned: the moment she began to unbutton her blouse, she was shocked to see the disinterest in his eyes.
He wasn’t alone.
The sight of his unexpected company made her stop in her tracks. “Nathan?” Heidi took a step towards him. “What’s wrong?” she asked. Although concerned, she was mostly trying to conceal the hurt she’d felt by his look of rejection towards her. She hoped he had the same plans she did with the company he brought home. She could see herself having fun with a woman too, if that would make him happy. She was pretty much game for anything. He was in a bad mood, that was for sure, and it seemed to be directed towards her. What the fuck?
“Wrong?” he repeated. “My boss is a fucking asshole from hell. He passed me by again and gave the promotion I wanted to fucking Clemens, so yeah, I’m in a bad mood.” He pointed to the busty blonde beside him. “So, you remember Missy, right? I ran into her today, and I thought she’d be able to help me relieve some of this stress.” He arched a brow, daring her to say something about it.
Heidi rolled her eyes and extended a hand to Missy. There was no way in hell she was going to be the bitch Nathan expected her to be. He was being deliberately hurtful, and yes, it pissed her off and made her feel like garbage because of the way he spoke to her, but she’d also be damned if she was going to let him see how jealous she felt right then. “Hello, Missy.”
Her lack of reaction seemed to piss him off. “I’m starting to think maybe we should cool it for a while.” He walked by her to enter his room, leaving her there in shock, only to walk right back out again to ask, “What’s Rafe doing tied to my bed?”
And she finally lost it, because there was no way she’d allow him to treat her this way without getting the final word in. He wanted to be a douchebag—well, she’d damn well let him know that he was.
“You know what? Fuck you, Nathan Anthony De Costa. You’re such an asshole. I worked my ass off to try and please you, and what do I get but a big ‘fuck you’ in return.” She laughed humorlessly. “Rafe is in there as a part of my surprise you’ve just ruined, so go and enjoy. I’m tired of loving you and not getting what I need in return. I hope one day I make you eat your words, because despite the company and the constant sex, it’s a pretty lonely life you lead without the emotion. And when you do finally realize you missed out on a great thing, I just hope it’s not too late, because right now, I’m done.”
“Wait a minute! I love you!” He sounded shocked by her outburst—and his own.
Her heart cracked a little more with longing. She looked between Missy and Nathan after that confession, and Missy suddenly looked extremely uncomfortable, if not a little mad. “Yes, I guess you do in your own way, but differently from what I’m talking about.”
Nathan looked away while Heidi couldn’t contain her hurt feelings anymore, allowing her tears to fall. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
His hands fisted at his sides when he spoke again. “You promised things wouldn’t change for us, Heidi. Don’t fucking back out on your word now.”
“Yeah, well, you were the one who started this, and I guess I lied.” She backed away towards the door. She had to leave to cool down. She couldn’t stand to let him see her hurt anymore. She needed a little dignity to cope with her rejection. So after buttoning up her shirt and grabbing her purse, she took one last look behind her before slamming the door shut behind her.
She’d planned one hell of a night all right. It was just too bad she wouldn’t get to enjoy it.
Fucking asshole!
****
Rafe grew soft hearing the argument outside the bedroom door. He was beginning to doubt he’d get his night of promised pleasure, since Nathan was being such a crab, and Heidi sounded like she’d left all together. The door slamming was a dead giveaway. There was no way he could relax now, and he secretly wished he hadn’t been tied to the bed at that moment, no matter how good it felt to be displayed for the taking. Shit! Now he had no choice but to listen to the other female and Nathan now. She wasn’t impressed, and rightfully so.
“So, you love her?”
“Yes.” Nathan sighed. “She’s my roommate and is supposed to be my best friend. If I haven’t screwed things up as bad as I think I have. Fuck!” The floor boards began to creak; Rafe assumed Nathan was pacing the hallway. “I had it all this morning. The potential for a great promotion, and a sexy woman who loves me. She’s open, honest, beautiful, and quite possibly one of the sweetest people I know. She would have done anything for me, and I went and fucked it all up. Why? Because I had a bad fucking day and she scares me.”
Missy gasped. “Nathan, in all of the years we’ve been together on and off, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you look at me, or anyone else, for that matter, the way you look at her. I can’t deny I’m a little upset, but you do love her, and you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Stop fighting it, hon. The sex was astounding, and I’m going to miss it, but I’m going to do you a favor by walking away right now. I’d hate to contribute to this mess you’ve made here. Fix it, and hey, if it doesn’t work out, you know my number.”
It went silent before the wood flooring creaked and Rafe heard the sound of high heels walking away. The door softly closing outside of the room he was currently trapped in made Rafe wonder if he’d been left there alone. Shit!
To his relief, Nathan stormed in determinedly just then and paced near the foot of the bed a few times, muttering obscenities under his breath.
“Um, Nathan—” Rafe began to tug at the silk binding his wrists and ankles. “A little help over here.”
“What?” Nathan huffed and looked as if he’d completely forgot the other man was lying there naked in his bed. His chest heaved as his breathing became more rapid, and Rafe wasn’t sure at that moment if it was out of anger or excitement. It might have been a little of both. There was a sparkle in Nathan’s eyes when he looked at Rafe, and then an unexpected smirk came across his face, which made Rafe unsure of what to expect.
“Look, I’m not that good at the whole mood-swing display you’ve got going on here, and I think maybe I should leave. Heidi obviously planned this at a bad time for you, so if you’ll untie me, I think I’ll be on my way. Maybe the three of us could do this some other time.”
“Fuck that!” Nathan laughed without humor. “Heidi planned this for me to enjoy, and I damn well plan to. I went and fucked things up with her, Missy left me, and I can’
t say I blame her, and now that leaves me with you. So let’s have some fun. Come on, Rafe, what’s a little no-strings-attached pleasure between neighbors, huh? I can see your dick getting hard for me again.” Nathan smiled. “So now the question is, are you going to help make my mood any better? God knows I could sure use it. I’ve lost so much today and totally made an ass out of myself on top of it.”
Rafe moaned as he watched Nathan devour him with his eyes. Fuck yeah, he was getting aroused. He was promised a night of pleasure and knew damn well the invite would be delivered now. His mind kept telling him it would be best to go, that maybe the threesome could happen some other time, but his cock wanted the pleasure that was promised and rose to the occasion just from one heated look. He was screwed, and he knew it—or was about to be, anyway.
Nathan was a lot like him in many ways. They weren’t the settling-down type; they both took what they wanted, when they wanted, and knew how to please. As their neighbor, he’d observed things over the last year, and Nathan definitely had seen more action than Heidi had.
He wished Heidi was with them right now, but he would settle for a continuation at another time. She was a fiery little redhead with a really hot body, great personality, and a gorgeous face. He’d wanted to fuck her almost immediately after getting to know her. She was sweet as hell, and when he’d seen Nathan he had thought the same thing. He’d known then he couldn’t have one without the other, known they were in love with each other but fighting hard to deny it.
Rafe loved sex, there was no doubt about it. He always had, always would, and he couldn’t wait for the day he found “the one” he couldn’t live without. Until then, he was going to enjoy his fun and freedom. Speaking of fun…
“Hell yeah, and if you untie me, I’ll show you just how much I can turn this night from bad to good.” He tugged on his silky restraints again while lifting his hips in impatience.
“I’m counting on that.” Nathan smiled and began to undress. He left Rafe still tied there until he was completely nude. After only untying his ankles, Nathan knelt on the edge of the bed and pushed Rafe’s feet toward him to get closer, and then he made him spread his legs wide. He lowered his head, and Rafe moaned as Nathan licked and sucked on his balls. But instead of moving up towards Rafe’s shaft, he instead surprised him when his mouth lowered to his ass to eat him there.
Rafe cursed and tried shifting so Nathan’s face pressed harder against him. He was so fucking hard, he ached, and Nathan’s tongue on his hole felt so fucking good, yet it made him feel incomplete. He needed more. Nathan’s attentions heightened as his tongue circled and then stroked in and out, making Rafe moan and writhe while Nathan chuckled at his response.
Suddenly, he stopped and replaced his tongue with his fingers. Nathan pumped in and out of his ass and moved his lips up to where he was needed most.
“You fucking tease!” Rafe was breathless. “Stop licking me and put my fucking cock in your mouth already.”
“What, you don’t like what I’m doing?” Nathan mocked a pout and then laughed.
“Uh-uh.” He shook his head.
“I thought you were supposed to be the one making me feel good. Oh, I plan to please you, all right, but I want your mouth on my cock while you stroke yourself for me first. Will you do that for me, Rafe? Will you taste my cock and make me feel good? I’ve had such a bad day.”
“It would help if I could actually reach your cock.” Rafe writhed again as Nathan worked his way up, nipping and then sucking on his nipples to soothe the sting. “If it means you’ll stop teasing me, then yes, you selfish bastard, but I’d better not be disappointed.”
Without saying a word, Nathan’s fingers stilled and then he slowly removed them from Rafe’s ass. He slid back up his body and kissed him hard. His tongue plunged in with the force of his excitement as Rafe met him with equal desire.
“I’m not letting you go until you tell me what you’re willing to do. I want you to talk dirty to me. I want to hear you tell me that you want to suck my cock. I want to know you want me and what you’d like me to do for you.”
Nathan’s bold statement shocked yet excited him. Rafe was used to being the one in control, but decided in this case he liked being dominated. It was turning him on even more, if that were even possible.
“From the moment I first saw the two of you, I wanted to fuck you both, but since Heidi can’t join in our festivities tonight, I plan to enjoy our moment together. I want to suck your cock, Nathan, to make you scream out for more as you fuck my mouth. I’m going to stroke my cock just like you asked, because I’m so fucking excited right now with your teasing, I fucking ache. Then when I’ve made you come, I plan to bend you over this bed and fuck you hard, so be prepared.”
At the mention of Heidi’s name Nathan’s expression changed, and there was more fire and desire in his gaze. Rafe wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but it looked like he was about to find out.
“Come here,” Nathan growled, practically ripping the restraints from the bedpost and freeing both of Rafe’s arms. Rafe leaned forward immediately, doing a little teasing of his own as he licked and sucked at Nathan’s balls for a little payback.
Nathan growled again and leaned back while he enjoyed how Rafe’s mouth worked him. He allowed it for a few minutes and then pulled away to get off of the bed. He stood in front of Rafe now. “Get on your knees, I need you.” He beckoned him to come forward.
Rafe listened well and lowered himself to the floor in front of Nathan. He grasped the base of the other man’s dick with confidence and started to stroke it.
“Lean back against the bed,” Nathan whispered, and Rafe did as he was asked again. He smiled. “Now suck me. Take my cock and make me feel good. Let’s show Heidi how much we did enjoy each other.” Nathan didn’t wait for Rafe to respond as he laced his fingers into his long hair and plunged his cock deep inside his mouth. “It’ll teach her to fucking mess with my head. She loves me, pff…” He hissed and then continued to rant. “Like I don’t fucking love her right back, right? I’ll fucking show her. Stroke your cock for me, Rafe. Fucking show me with your hands how you’d like to have your cock satisfied. Come for me, baby, that’s right. Picture my mouth there, picture fucking me like I’m fucking you right now.”
Rafe moaned. All this Heidi talk surprised him, but he was so aroused from earlier he didn’t care about much other than feeling some sort of relief. So he closed his eyes, picturing Nathan fucking Heidi’s mouth instead of his own while Rafe plunged deep inside her wet pussy. With all this talk about her, he figured why not fantasize about the original night planned, and it didn’t take much to take him over the edge. His cum spurted upward and landed all over his stomach, chest, and hands while he growled with satisfaction.
Nathan’s hips pumped harder in an effort to reach his own peak, as if seeing Rafe’s cum drip down his chest made him want the same. Rafe could feel his balls tighten, and he could see Nathan’s excitement mount within his expression until he couldn’t hold it any longer. The man roared and hadn’t seemed to realize he screamed for Heidi until it subsided, and it just made things awkward.
Rafe pulled his mouth off with a pop and smiled to lighten things up. “Heidi, huh?” He chuckled, and the sound of it made Nathan’s body tense in defense.
“Fuck you, man!”
“I believe you just did. Well, at least my, mouth anyway.” Rafe smiled again. “Look, Heidi’s a great woman, and if you don’t make your move soon, one of these days it may be too late. Hell, I’ll be glad to take her if you don’t want her.”
Nathan lunged at him but missed when he stubbed his toe on the bedframe, and it only succeeded in making Rafe laugh louder as he put on his clothes. “Fucking some more is obviously not going to happen tonight. Let me know when you get your shit together, and maybe we could have that threesome sometime. Just one more word of advice before I go, because I’m such a nice guy. Listen to what that other girl told you earlier. Stop fighting it an
d remind that roommate of yours how much you love her already, because you’re kidding yourself if you don’t. Oh, and I was serious about wanting Heidi for myself. Think about it.”
Nathan cursed and punched the wall out of frustration as Rafe shut the door, and he smiled all the way back to his apartment.
He’d love to make his move on the lovely redhead next door, and now that Nathan knew it, he figured maybe it would be the push the man needed to finally do something about making her his.
It was certainly entertaining enough to watch where his matchmaking efforts were heading.
His good deed was about to be done, or so he hoped.

She staggered as she tried to make it up the stairs. Heidi cursed as she fumbled.
When Heidi had left her apartment earlier, she hadn’t known where to go. She had ended up calling Zoey and met up with her at a local pub to drink away her sorrows. Now it was late, and she was wasted. Too pre-occupied with her drunken thoughts, she hadn’t been paying attention to her surroundings until her face came in contact with a body sculpted to perfection.
His pajama pants hung low over slim hips, and she gasped as she looked up to meet his smug smile. Rafe clearly knew the appeal he had on her, especially right then. She was vulnerable, but she composed herself long enough to smile back. “What are you doing out of your apartment so late, and half-naked, might I add?” Her gaze trailed from his head to the tips of his toes, lingering on the impressive bulge in the middle. “Not that I mind the sight in front of me.”
“Why, thank you.” He smirked. “Tonight didn’t turn out like we planned, and I wanted to make sure you were all right.”
“You can say that again.” Heidi groaned and looked away. “Although I’m sorry our plans changed, I’m completely mortified you had to overhear our little argument. I guess I was stupid, huh?” She smiled and then exhaled before looking at him again. “I hope your entire night wasn’t ruined, though. I mean, at least you got to enjoy Nathan and Missy, right? My loss, your gain.” She sobbed.
