Taking a deep breath, I unlock the door and open it up vast. He’s gone. Confused, I step out into the breezeway of my constructing, wanting proper then left. I see Parker’s retreating determine and name out to him, “Parker!” Swallowing my nerves and not sure why I’m stopping him, I proceed, “Did you want one thing?”

Parker stops, pausing just a few seconds earlier than he turns round. When he faces me, he stands nonetheless for a second, and there’s silence between us. Then he begins briskly strolling towards me. The look in his eyes causes a chill to run over my pores and skin. Do I run to him or away from him? My thoughts is at conflict, partly as a result of I can’t decipher what I’m feeling proper now, not to mention what he’s feeling. And partly as a result of my physique needs Parker each single time I’m close to him. As an alternative of shifting, I stay frozen, simply watching him. This appears like an entire contradiction of what we determined about how we might deal with no matter is occurring between us.

Earlier than I may even kind a phrase, he’s standing instantly in entrance of me. I can odor the faint scent of beer. Our eyes lock, and I’ve a greater view of his feelings now that we’re so shut. A bit of little bit of worry combined with want. I assume I ought to thank God that Parker and I are on the identical taking part in discipline. Though, that might imply admitting issues I’d reasonably ignore. Lastly, he croaks out, “Can we discuss? I actually assume we have to discuss.”

Shaking my head, I say, “God, Parker, it’s late. We will’t maintain having this dialog. If that is about our attraction…I’m unsure it’s a good suggestion.”

“It’s.” His rebuttal is fast.

Parker takes maintain of my hand and pulls me into my residence, closing the door behind us. We barely make it 5 steps into the lounge earlier than he faces me, dropping my hand. He shoves his fingers via his hair. My eyes shift across the room, wanting wherever however at him. He lets out a protracted sigh then blurts out, “Look, Abbey, I’m out of my thoughts loopy desirous about you. What does which means precisely? I’m unsure but. However I can say you’ve made fairly an impression.” He reaches up, cupping my cheek, and brings my consideration as much as his face. “Inform me you don’t really feel the identical means, and I’ll stroll out of this door proper now. Or for those who’re drawn to me even a fraction of what I’m to you, let me know. Then we will resolve the place we go from right here. I have to know I’m not the one one with these emotions. Inform me it isn’t simply me.”

“It’s not simply you,” I shortly confess, leaning into the palm of Parker’s hand pressed in opposition to my cheek, closing my eyes. He takes a step ahead, and I really feel him leaning in, so I open my eyes, putting my hand on his chest, stopping him. “I really feel it, too, however I can’t. we will’t. Your guard is down. You wouldn’t be right here for those who hadn’t been ingesting,” I inform him with emphasis.

“That’s not true, and you already know it,” he says. “I’m right here as a result of I can’t cease desirous about you. I’m right here as a result of I don’t assume you possibly can cease desirous about me, both.”

Parker takes one other step nearer. We’re nostril to nostril, and I don’t step away from him. I merely shut my eyes. There’s a whisper of his sizzling breath simply earlier than his comfortable lips press in opposition to mine. For a cut up second, I take into consideration pulling again, however I can’t. I would like this…I need this, even when it makes me really feel greater than I’ve ever felt. Even when it tears down the partitions I’ve labored so exhausting to construct. I kiss him again with every thing in me.

My lips tingle with pleasure as I deepen our kiss. Parker’s arms wrap round me, pulling me in opposition to his physique. This kiss is like gasoline to a hearth that has been slowly burning between us because the second I referred to as out to him and he rotated, assembly my gaze. His phrases slip between our lips, “The place’s your bed room?” My lips don’t depart his. “Not my mattress,” I handle to get out. “The sofa.”

He pulls again for a minute, taking a look at me, then resigns himself to my resolution.

Parker lifts the underside of my tank prime, slowly sliding it up and over my head. He asks permission together with his eyes earlier than his fingers cup my breast. He squeezes gently then leans ahead, putting his mouth over my nipple. A rush of air slips from my mouth, I push my fingers into his wavy hair and tug gently till he raises his head to fulfill mine, and our lips meet as soon as extra. His lips are heat and transfer over mine in rushed actions as if they’ll’t get sufficient of being related with mine.

My fingers pull his t-shirt up his exhausting chest, and we break aside solely lengthy sufficient to permit him to elevate his arms above his head and pull his shirt off. He reaches behind me, and my bra falls to the ground. We transfer aside and take a look at each other, half-naked and panting with want.

“Are you certain about this, Abbey?” Parker asks me. I can see it was exhausting for him to ask, and if I say no, I do know he would stroll away with no combat.

I do know this goes in opposition to all my guidelines, however proper now, with him, I don’t care. I need him. With no phrase, I merely slide my pajama bottoms and panties down over my hips, permitting them to fall to the ground. Slowly, I step out of them, shifting ahead till I’m standing simply shut sufficient that our our bodies are touching. His eyes inform me every thing I have to know. Parker needs me as a lot as I need him.

I attain for his fingers, pulling his arms round me, permitting them to choose my again. I put my arms round Parker and search for into his eyes once more.

This was all of the affirmation he wanted, and as he pulls me tighter in opposition to him, I moan on the really feel of our our bodies pressed collectively, pores and skin on pores and skin. His head dips down, and his lips overtake mine—at first mild, coaxing, then more durable till our mouths are devouring each other. Our actions turn out to be extra frantic, like we will’t fairly get the place we need to go quick sufficient. My fingers discover every bit of his clothes and work to take away it as shortly as doable. Parker by no means stops his assault on my physique. His mouth covers my nipple, and he begins to suck, pulling it between his tooth as his denims drop to the ground. The feeling causes me to arch my again, pushing my breast ahead. The sensation is overwhelming all my senses.

Parker’s identify is a moan between my lips.

His mouth returns to mine, silencing the sounds of enjoyment coming from me. Lifting me up into his arms, he carries me to the deep, overstuffed sectional. He pulls again and briefly appears at me, units me down and covers my physique together with his personal. Out of the blue, his lips are again on mine.

Wanting up at him, for one second, the worry of what we’re doing seeps its means in. Then a small smile widens throughout his face. I need him proper now, and that outweighs any consequence I’ll should take care of later.

The skin-to-skin contact feels unimaginable, and the aching between my legs intensifies. Earlier than I even realize it, Parker pushes his lengthy, exhausting size inside me. Filling me and relieving one ache whereas creating a special sort of want. I don’t even know when he had an opportunity to placed on safety, however I’m grateful his ideas have been coherent sufficient to recollect it.

“My God, Abbey, you are feeling so rattling good.” His phrases are low and strained in my ear. We’re each unmoving, attempting to regulate to the unimaginable feeling constructing from the connection of our our bodies.

I don’t say something; as a substitute, I reply by shifting my hips beneath him. He reacts by matching his actions to mine. At first, tender and sluggish, then more durable, pushing himself deeper and deeper inside me with each thrust. The feeling is overwhelming and fulfilling all on the identical time. I need extra. I need him to maneuver quicker and deeper, feeling like he won’t ever be shut sufficient. Then as quickly as the feeling of our actions causes me to really feel like I would shatter into one million items, I virtually beg him to go slower.

My physique explodes with a heat that fills each a part of me. The sensation is available in waves. Parker’s identify slips previous my lips in a protracted, drawn-out moan. Solely seconds later, Parker is looking my identify, his total physique turning into tout in opposition to mine earlier than falling to the aspect of me, his physique midway on me and midway on the sofa. We’re tangled collectively—our labored respiration the one sound filling the room. He pulls me into his physique till my head is cradled between his chin and chest. An unfamiliar rush of feelings comes over me. Emotions that scare me, so I push them off. I strive not to think about what any of this might or will imply. As an alternative, I select to remain within the second, deciding to take management of my ideas and dictate the that means. That is like another night time the place I needed pleasure. It simply so occurs that that is somebody I already shared an evening with prior to now. Besides this night time felt completely different. Mentally, I scold myself for overthinking and shut out all ideas apart from the truth that a good-looking and attractive man simply gave me the best pleasure I’ve felt…since, properly…because the final time I used to be with him.

I stretch out, feeling incredible. I savor the second, closing my eyes.

“You look even prettier within the afterglow of intercourse than I bear in mind. I believe it’s as a result of your defenses are down.” A masculine voice breaks via my pleased ideas, and dread enters instantly. I don’t transfer. I don’t reply, and I most undoubtedly don’t open my eyes as a result of his phrases have been like a bucket of water to a flame. He’s proper, my defenses are down. “You possibly can maintain your eyes closed if you need, however that doesn’t change the truth that I’m right here.” His tone tells me he finds all of this very humorous. This annoys me as a result of he’s so relaxed, and I’m unsure how I really feel about the truth that we ended up sleeping collectively once more. Relax, Abbey, and assume.

The reality is, I made a alternative, one I don’t remorse as a result of I needed Parker. And far to my shock, I nonetheless need him. The issue is that this bodily want for each other isn’t proper for our circumstances as a result of, as quickly because it goes unsuitable—and it’ll—the implications can be like a domino impact. It’s going to knock me, Parker, Rosie, and Drew down one after one other, and little doubt the remainder of the dominoes will fall in go well with. We do that and it doesn’t work out then it results in the potential of a unfavorable scenario between Rosie and Drew. Her greatest pal and his brother. The little angel of optimism in my head whispers,“Who says it’s going to finish…not to mention finish badly?”“As a result of it simply will. This isn’t actual,” I say to that optimistic little voice, and apparently, I additionally say it out loud. “What?” Parker asks.

My eyes fly open to discover a confused look on his face, which is lower than a foot away. “What?” I reply, not understanding what to say. Good Lord, I’m a idiot. “I requested you what you have been saying,” he tells me, his brows pinching collectively. “It was nothing,” I say shortly and activate my again, staring up on the ceiling. I really feel the sofa dip a bit, and once I peer at him, I can see he’s mendacity on his aspect now, too. His robust, muscular arms bent together with his fingers underneath his head. He appears so rattling attractive. It’s actually no surprise I’m on this predicament with him once more.

I hear Parker sigh. “Look, Abbey, I can hear the wheels handing over your head. You’re attempting to determine what this implies and if it’s actually a good suggestion. One thing we’ve got each questioned most likely a billion occasions since we discovered my brother and your greatest pal are in love.” Parker props his head up on one hand. Once more, his bicep is flexing. Taunting me. My thoughts snaps again to his phrases as a substitute of his physique as he continues. “I’ve been attempting to determine the identical factor. I maintain coming again to at least one thought—there’s something about you. Positive, we have to work out the small print, however possibly…,” he trails off, then says, “possibly, it might work out. Can we assure without end? No, we will’t. However possibly we don’t should determine every thing out. Neither of us can deny we’ve got chemistry.” He offers me a tough stare, and I strive to think about what to say. We undoubtedly have chemistry.

I let his phrases sink in. My abdomen begins to show, and I really feel uneasy. Anxious. I can’t do that. “I’m sorry. I don’t know if I can take the possibility simply because we’ve got chemistry. This might harm lots of people,” I retort.
