My fingers slide through her inky-colored strands before I draw her face to mine, silencing any further conversation between us. Only when her body relaxes do I draw away and pull her back to my chest.
Which is exactly how we fall asleep.
Chapter Seven
Sasha
My eyelids flutter open as I gradually wake to my surroundings. When was the last time I felt this well rested? It’s like I just had the best sleep of my life. As I stretch, my arm knocks into a hard slab of—
Muscle.
That’s the moment I realize I’m not alone. All of the pleasant fuzziness clouding my brain evaporates. Carefully, I swivel my head until my gaze lands on a naked male chest. That’s when everything from the night before rushes in and I’m bombarded with the reality of this situation.
Easton.
He stayed over and—
A rush of heat fills my cheeks.
Went down on me.
Even thinking about the way he touched my body ignites a firestorm of need inside me. My inner thighs clench in an unconscious attempt to stifle the sensation inundating my system, but it doesn’t help.
My fingers rise until they can drift across my lips. In all the years we’ve been friends, he’s never kissed me like that. There have been pecks here and there, but nothing like last night.
As I shift against the sheets, I’m reminded of my naked state. Afterward, I thought about pulling on a tank top and underwear, but I was too comfortable to move a single muscle. Careful not to disturb him, I lift the sheet and peek beneath the cotton, only to catch an eyeful. Some time during the night, his boxers and shorts were shed.
My teeth sink into my lower lip, pinning it in place as my attention stays fixated on his length. Even in repose, he’s big. I’ve had my fair share of guys, and he’s one of the more...er, girthier ones I’ve seen. It’s all too tempting to inspect him closer.
Our families have taken trips together and I’ve seen him countless times in boardshorts, but I’ve never caught a glimpse of him in the buff. Without a doubt, he’s a sight to behold.
A gasp escapes from me when he moves and his cock stiffens, rising to a full-on salute.
Holy cow. Yeah, he’s...big.
“Like what you see?”
The low timbre of his voice strums something deep inside me and arousal bursts to life in my core. If I were wearing panties, they’d be soaked. I slam the sheet back into place, although that does nothing to hide the boner tenting the material.
How embarrassing. I’ve just been caught ogling my best friend. That thought drives home the gravity of our situation. What happened last night was a mistake. As nice as it was—oh, who am I kidding? It was much better than nice. Hands down, it was one of the best orgasms of my life, and we didn’t even have sex. But still...
How stupid would it be to jeopardize our friendship?
It was a heat-of-the-moment kind of thing. Maybe a spark of jealousy ignited inside him when he saw me with Ryder. I have no idea. What I do know is that it can’t happen again. One time can be chalked up as an error in judgment. Anything more...
And we’ll be careening down a path neither of us is prepared to deal with.
Before I can toss off the covers and scramble from the bed, Easton shackles my wrists and cages me in with the heavy weight of his body.
“Oh, no you don’t.” Heat ignites in his eyes as a slow smirk curves his lips. “How did I know you would try to run from me?” One muscular thigh gets thrown over my legs to keep me pinned in place. His thick erection presses insistently against my hip. “Now that I’ve had a taste of you, there’s no way I’ll give it up.”
No matter how much I try to steel myself against the desire he sparks to life so easily, it’s impossible. A whimper explodes from me as another wave of heat dampens my core.
I say the only thing I can to stop this from happening.
“Do you have any idea how much I love you? The friendship we have is special.”
The heat filling his eyes vanishes as softness rushes in to fill the void. “I love you too, Sash. You know that. Maybe that love is morphing into something new, but that’s all right.”
