We both laugh. I shake my head at him. Regarding women, he's always been the player, and I have always been more emotionally invested. I look over at Erica. At some point, she had rolled over onto her stomach. I imagine my lips caressing her back, trailing downward. Her skin has goosebumps, and I wonder what she is thinking about.
Scott is elbowing my ribs and raising his eyebrows up and down toward Erica. I jab him back and lean back to close my eyes, trying my best to ignore him. I hear my parents stirring a little while later, saying it's time to pack it in and rest before dinner. I reach over and caress Erica's arm to get her attention.
"Mmmmm," she groans.
I lean over and whisper in her ear, "It's time to go."
It takes her a couple of minutes to get her bearings. I get up and put the lounger back where I found it. Erica slips on her sundress and gathers her bag, a little wobbly on her feet. I wrap my arm around her, and she leans into me. We walk up to the hotel.
We missed lunch, but none of us were hungry, so we headed up to the suite to shower and rest till dinner.
After dinner, we are back in our room. We talk about the day.
"Seriously?" Erica exclaims when I tell her what Scott did. "I can't believe he did some rando in the ocean."
Erica is laughing, and I'm shaking my head. She heads to the bathroom to get ready for bed. I strip down to my boxers and climb under the covers.
Erica comes out, her face clean of makeup, and slides under the covers next to me. I was going to ask her about last night and her feelings, but I bent down and kissed her instead. She responds, moving her body closer and throwing a leg over my hip. I slide my hands down her back and cup her ass, pulling her against me, my erection finding her clit. I rub my penis over her clit slowly, and I hear her moan. I pull her tank top down, exposing a hardened nipple ready to be sucked. I close my teeth around it and bite down gently. Her moan vibrates through my core. Her soft hands slide inside my boxers and wrap around my manhood. Suddenly, she is on top of me and pushes me back. Kissing her way down my chest to my waistband, her mouth hovers over my hardness, the heat from her breath causing my cock to knock against my boxers. She slowly pulls my boxers down, and I pop out, the tip tapping her chin. She flicks a tongue out, lightly grazing me. I ejaculate a little, and she raises her eyes to me as she licks it off.
We lose control, and I slip inside her, frantically thrusting, watching her from below. I reach up and hold her breasts, and she grabs my hand, holding it to her while her other hand rubs her clit. We cum at the same time, both trying not to cry out in climax. She collapses on me, and I slip out of her, roll her onto her side, and hold her. I have no idea what we are doing, but I don't want it to end.
Chapter Twelve
Erica
Thisfeelssurreal.Layinghere in Aaron's arms is a dream come true. I have wanted this since high school, and now that it's here, I'm scared. This isn't supposed to be a real engagement, but I would be in heaven if it was. It's how I imagined we might be together. Comfortable, content, happy. Even though this engagement is for show — because I can't stand up to my parents about setting me up on random dates — I pretend it's natural for a moment or two. I look at how the ring shimmers in the early morning light. Aaron has such good taste. I never imagined he would buy me a real ring for an imaginary commitment.
Reality starts to seep in, though, and I'm having second thoughts about us being so intimate with each other. That was a surprise. A nice one, for sure.
I feel Aaron stirring. We fell asleep wrapped in each other's arms, and waking up that way felt lovely and romantic. I don't want to move from his embrace. He kisses my neck, and I feel myself stiffen. He pulls away, and I roll onto my back and look at him. He is snuggled up close. I reach up, touch his face, and look into his eyes.
"We should talk about what's going on with us," I say.
Aaron nods slowly. I sit up and stack pillows behind me, leaning into them. Aaron sits cross-legged and faces me. I need to figure out where to start. I don't want to lose Aaron as a friend, but I feel myself falling for him again. It's dangerous. Especially if, once again, he does not feel the same way. It will devastate me. I try to play this off as if I'm worried about him getting hurt, but really, it's about me.
"Listen, Aaron, it might be best to chill on the intimacy before things get too complicated. I appreciate you continuing my lie, but we both know we will return to our own lives at some point. I don't want it to be hard for either of us, and feelings will get hurt if we keep going this way. I care about you too much to let that happen." I sped through the whole speech in hopes that getting it over quickly might spare us the impact of those words.
Aaron is staring at me, and for a quick moment, I see something in his eyes, but in a flash, it's gone. Maybe I imagined it. There is a permeable shift in Aaron. I can feel it in my bones, and I don't like it.
"Are you going to say anything?" I ask him.
"Are you sure? I felt we enjoyed that part of the lie a lot." He smiles sadly.
"Oh, it's an amazing perk of the fake engagement." I wink at him with a sexy smile. "I'm just nervous that it will lead to feelings and that when we end the charade, it will be harder than it was supposed to be to let go. I'm thinking of our lifelong friendship as well. I don't want things to be weird between us or our families when we must end this."
"Well, I can see your point. I'm going to miss your sexy nipples, though." Aaron reaches out and pretends to pinch one that is aroused.
He then sits on me and tickles me till I scream, "Stop, or I'll pee my pants!"
He rolls off me, laughing.
Suddenly, he gets off the bed, grabs his clothes, and heads into the bathroom. I hear the shower turn on and curl up on my side. That didn't go as well as I thought it did. I forget that, though he might seem tough on the outside, he also has a compassionate side to him, which he hides, which is why I fell in love with him in high school. It was something all the other girls took advantage of.
Aaron finishes his shower, and I go for mine. THE ROOM IS EMPTY when I leave the bathroom, and my heart sinks. I walk into the suite, and everyone is there. Aaron gets up and kisses my cheek, and hugs me. We stand there, arm in arm, while we talk about the day's plan. The women want to shop, and the men want to play some golf. With the day ahead settled, we grab breakfast.
Aaron comes over and gives me another kiss, and hugs me tightly. "Have a good time, love."
He smiles at me.
