“I’ve got you,” I murmured into her hair, soothing myself as much as her.Letting us both know that was natural, that she wasn’t the only one who wanted to feel whole.
She didn’t let go of my wrist, squeezing like she was just as conflicted as I was, probably more, her grip a clamp over my skin as I worked her.Her breathing quickened, her squirms grew more demanding, and I held her in the cocoon of my arms.I circled, alternating pressure depending on how she responded.Her hand held mine to her like she was afraid I’d pull away, or so she could fling me off when it got to be too much.
My erection pounded behind my jeans, but I had no intention of dealing with it.What was happening was more special, more critical, than any other intimate moment in my life.I never wanted this to change.Kenny in my house.Kenny in my bed.I wanted her as my friend, and more.
I didn’t shut my eyes.As faint light dawned behind me through the window, I watched this woman I’d grown so close to in the last couple of months writhe.
“More,” she whispered as if she was terrified to ask.I held her tighter, switched my thumb to her clit and slipped a finger through her wet heat, pushing inside.
I knew she’d needed more but had waited for her to ask, to tell me so I didn’t record scratch this moment between us.I relished the ragged moan she pressed into the covers.So fucking tight.Once her body had something to clamp around, once she could ride me with her short hip thrusts, she blew apart.Rolling toward the covers, she smothered her face and cried out.
“I’ve got you, Kenny.Let it go.I’ve got you.”
Warmth flooded my hand as she rode out her orgasm.I did nothing but hold her, staying true to my word.
As she panted through the final tremors, I withdrew my hand but rested it on top of her underwear.She wasn’t going to feel abandoned by my arms.
Emotions whirled inside of me, mingling into a twist until there was a tornado wreaking havoc inside my chest.I’d gotten Kenny off.I’d touched her where I suspected only one man had touched her before.
Kenny had been off-limits since I’d met her.She was my best friend’s girl, and we’d just been intimate.Worse than that, I wanted this again.I wanted her.I wantedeverything.
What kind of ass did that make me?Should I have rolled away and pretended there was nothing between us?That we hadn’t grown closer because we’d lost someone critical in our lives?
If I could go back in time, knowing the conflict that raged inside of me, I’d do it all over again.I’d be selfish and tell myself that I was here for her.That I was here for anything she wanted.I’d ignore the fact that Kenny had become the only woman in my life that I’d ever want to be with.
Kennedy
Strength and heat surrounded me.My shoulders ached from keeping quiet.I’d been all too aware that there were kids sleeping nearby, just like I’d been all too aware that it was Liam behind me and not my husband.
It wasn’t Derek that held me.It wasn’t Derek that had whispered to me in the dark.It wasn’t Derek that I had fallen apart with.And at no point had I convinced myself it was.
Liam felt different.He smelled different.His voice and his touch were different.It was all wrong, yet so achingly right at the same time.
A hot tear leaked out of the corner of my eye.Then another.I ferociously blinked it away.
I wanted to push Liam off the bed and run.Terror raced through me at the thought of upsetting him until he went away too.
I couldn’t lose Liam.But I’d lost my husband.And I’d just begged for his best friend to get me off.
I squeezed my eyes shut.A war raged in my head and in my heart.
What did I do?How did I act?How had blame and regret and relief piled up on my chest?
I clenched my legs together.Liam moved his hand to rest on my hip.A solid, heavy weight that warmed me more than any blanket.
I had no idea what to do.
The heat that had stoked my desire until I’d grabbed a man’s hand and put it on me changed, morphed into an invisible choke hold.
“Are you okay?”His words were nothing more than a whisper, but his breath feathered my hair, reminding me about what was so startlingly clear.I was in his arms.He was curled around me like he was protecting me, but my brain was formulating an escape.
It’d be easy enough for him to tell Eli and Owen that he’d come back early and I’d gone home.No one knew that I was here.No one knew what had gone on between us.
My throat grew thick, and pressure built behind my eyes.Liam had seen me like no one else on earth had, but he wasn’t witnessing me cry after he’d stroked out one of the quickest, most relentless orgasms I’d ever had.
It wasn’t fair.
I rolled away from him and sat up.
