Archer
Well, that went a bit sideways. They say the path to Hell is paved with good intentions. I had every design of putting Lena firmly back in the friendship box. I don’t even know why I decided to come to the library so early tonight. She isn’t due to leave until eight, but something was bothering me. Alright fine, lots of things have been bothering me lately. My judgment, my seeming lack of any restraint and willpower. How every time I’ve been around Lena it’s as if I’ve forgotten how to interact with her.
It’s been painful, and I fucking hate it, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to have the conversation it’s obvious we need to have. I don’t know what the hell to say. What the hell I want. So how can we talk about it?
After what happened in the stacks a few days ago, I sort of froze and retreated in the worst possible way. I walked away from Lena and waited while she closed up for work. We didn’t discuss what happened, both of us coming to an unspoken agreement that we weren’t going to mention it. Except now, I just demanded she take my dick out and swallow down my come. Then I proceeded to eat her out like the taste of her is the only sustenance that can keep me alive.
Fuck. I’d be pissed at myself for my actions if I hadn’t felt how wet she’d been after she knelt before me. Shit. The sight of her, on her knees in that damn outfit out of a book, peering up at me with those violet eyes, is one I’ll never forget.
The frenzy has cooled somewhat, but the air is still charged with that electric spark, that attraction that drives me fucking crazy. Lena’s laid out on her desk, eyes closed, breaths rapid. All I want to do is scoop her up and carry her back to my house, toss her onto my bed, and keep her there until neither of us can move. Instead, I straighten her skirt, gently tugging it down and smoothing it over her long legs.
Lena’s eyes drift open, and I see the wariness settling there. She’s as uncertain about all of this as I am. I open my mouth, ready to start the conversation I don’t know how to finish. What are we doing here? How do we want to go on?
“Maybe if we call it what it is, then it won’t be so awkward between us.” Lena’s cheeks are already flushed from pleasure, but more pink blushes over her nose as she sits up. “Things have been… strained. I don’t like it.”
There’s an interesting power dynamic happening right now. Lena’s on her desk, eyes tilted down to look at me in her chair. There’s absolutely nothing domineering about her, but I like the look of her above me.
“We’re obviously attracted to each other. There’s nothing wrong with two friends lending each other a helping hand. Things don’t have to be weird.” She goes on when I’m incapable of speaking.
My mouth opens, but I don’t know how to respond. Lena looks uncomfortable, but she’s not backing down from having this conversation, and I admire her for it. That doesn’t mean I necessarily like what she’s saying. Fuck if I know why, though. We are friends, and of course I’m attracted to her. She’s smart, funny, gorgeous as hell. Who wouldn’t be? So what part is hanging me up?
“What are you saying? We should be friends with benefits?” I huff out a small laugh at the idea.
Lena shrugs. “Isn’t it kind of what we’re doing right now?” Her face drops into a frown. “Or not. If you aren’t interested—”
“—I never said I wasn’t interested.” I stand up, straightening my suit, and feeling a bit wild and lost. “I’m fucking interested.”
Shit, what am I saying? Is friends with benefits what I want? Lena’s one of my best friends, and I would do anything to keep that friendship. Fucking her seems like the worst way to do that.
Do I want to fuck her? Who the hell do I think I’m fooling? Of course I do. So much that now that I’ve touched her, I’m not sure I can keep my hands off her.
Rhys will kill me. I groan as I think about her brother.
“Um, that sounds like a regret.”
“I was just thinking about your damn brother.”
“Should I be weirded out that you’re thinking about my brother right now?” Lena’s nose crinkles and she frowns at me.
“He’s going to kill me if he finds out about this.”
Lena nods her head. “Yeah, he probably will.”
I stare down at her, my chest aching with a tightness I don’t recognize. I want her so badly it physically hurts. It doesn’t matter that I just got off harder than I ever have before. The need to bury my dick so deep inside her we can’t tell where either one of us begins and ends, aches like an unfed addiction.
“We’ll have to keep it from the others.”
Lena’s eyes lift to meet mine, her tongue darting out to wet her bottom lip. I can see the wheels turning in her head. I hold out my hand to her, helping her off the desk. She stands, straightening her clothes, and then gives me a small, secret grin.
“So, I’m just going to be your dirty little secret.”
My dick twitches at the thought that conjures. I’m in so much trouble. I lean down, pressing my lips to her ear, and biting the lobe. “I’ll be your dirty secret, too.”
Lena shivers, and her exhale paints my cheek.
A knock on the door startles us both, and Lena takes a step back, a blush creeping up her cheeks. She quietly flips the lock on the door before she turns around to hold my gaze.
“Okay.”
Did she just agree to having a secret fling? She doesn’t give me time to respond before she opens the door. Colton is standing on the other side, smiling at Lena like he’s here to pick her up for a date.
“I had a few more questions for you.”
I move across the room to her side, and muscle my way out the door. I cut between the two of them, running my hand over Lena’s perfect ass as I pass.
“I’ll wait for you to finish up, Luna.”
Lena nods at me, pulling her office door shut and keeping Colton from maneuvering his way in there. I keep an eye on the little pest as I settle into a chair by the fireplace. I don’t bother pretending to read a book. I watch as Lena brushes off Colton’s advances with a wild rush of pleasure.
