Luke
“Where are you going?” Emma asks as I rise from my seat.
I don’t know if it’s right for us to just let Isaac go like that. For the first time in a while, I can’t gauge his emotions. Is he pissed at me? Is he pissed at Emma? Does he feel like we’re pitted against him? I thought we were all on the same page. I thought we were enjoying ourselves.
“I’m going after him.”
“Don’t. Seriously, Luke, trust me. He needs a minute to get over himself and when he does, he’ll be right back with us.”
“What if he doesn’t?” I ask.
“What if he doesn’t get over himself? Or what if he doesn’t come back?”
“Both.”
“I guess that just leaves you,” Emma places her hand on my shoulder, massaging it tenderly.
“And me.”
Her tone glides, with her palm, down my chest. I can tell where her mind is going, but it’s hard for me to get there with my worries lingering. She gets the hint and continues rubbing small, comforting circles into my shoulder. It helps, probably more than she knows.
After all we’ve been through- the goodandthe bad- I can’t imagine my life without this amazing woman. Being with her has flipped my life on its head in ways I would have never expected.
Emma's green eyes are light and dazzling above her button nose and full, kissable lips. Something in me just clicks when I’m around her. It’s like she’s a missing piece of the intricate painting that is my life, but there’s another piece of the painting that’s missing.
Isaac.
Never in my life would I have guessed I could care for a man the way I have with him. It’s made me question all my relationships, friendships or not. Does caring equal romance? Is that what’s happening with Isaac and I? Would Emma and I be able to have a fulfilling relationship without him?
I know the answer to that. Of course we can.
Would it bethe same?
I’m not so sure.
All my life, I’ve loved women. Tall women, short women, thick women, skinny women, dark women, light women - they have a hypnotizing hold on me the way no one else does, buteven Iwould wonder why no one has ever seemed to work out for more than a minute.
Until Emma and Isaac, I wasn’t even aware peoplecouldhave a relationship with more than one person. I thought it was ‘against the rules.’ If the thought ever crossed my mind, which it rarely did, it was a scenario where there were two women and me. Never me and a woman, with another man. Certainly notwith Isaac.
After all is said and done, he’s my longest relationship. He’s my best friend. Was ruining our years of friendship worth this change? I truly used to think we couldn’t possibly cross that line, even if we did enter a relationship with Emma.
Somehow, I don’t know when or where, but the line got blurry.
I never thought my feelings towards Isaac could transform into anything but that - best friends. Now, we’ve been intimate. The feelings go way past sex. I know the way he tastes and smells andfeels.I know how he looks when he’s panicked or irritated or confident or turned on. I know these things about him, the same way I know these things about the gorgeous blonde in front of me now.
“Luke.”
Emma’s voice is a low, erotic hum.
She tears me away from wherever I was, grounding me with her touch. She leans in close, teasing me with glimpses of her cleavage.
“I can tell you’re worrying about it, but don’t. Stop thinking for right now. Just feel me.”
Her hand slides lower and lower, plucking my abs like guitar strings. I gasp as the air catches in my throat.
Emma’s smiling at me through sexy, half-lidded eyes. Her long hair spills over her shoulders and the deep pink of her glossed lips begs me for a taste. She lingers at my belt, and I can feel myself starting to get hard.
How can one person be beautiful and sexy and adorable all at once?
