Six #3
Stepping out of the elevator into my apartment, I’ve got Ella in my arms and Alyssa right beside me. I’m greeted by a very antsy Dean and Bray waiting in my living room. Dean is up and moving—probably the quickest I’ve ever seen the man move.
“Here, let me take her to her room.” Dean holds his hands out to take Ella.
I don’t move for a moment, shocked by my friend’s actions.
I’m about to say that I’ll do it myself when I look over to Bray, who subtly shakes his head no at me.
I relent and hand Ella over to Dean; he doesn’t say anything as he walks down the hall to her room.
Looking over at Bray, I ask, “Do I even want to know?” I gesture down the hall to where Dean just disappeared into Ella’s bedroom.
“No, you really don’t, not tonight anyway.” Bray stands up from the lounge he was sprawled across and walks towards me. Knowing he probably has some smart-ass shit to say about the fact that I’ve got a woman here, I attempt to escape his shit.
Grabbing Alyssa’s hand, I say, “I’ll catch you tomorrow. I’m going to bed.” I walk towards the hall, pulling Alyssa behind me.
Bray moves lightning quick, like the fighter he is.
I don’t even see him move before he’s standing in front of me.
He holds a hand out for Alyssa. “Since my brother has the manners of a goat, I’ll do the introductions myself.
I’m Bray, obviously the good-looking brother.
” Alyssa smiles and takes his hand. I’m quick to pull her hand out of Bray’s grasp and get a raised eyebrow from him in return.
Alyssa looks up at me before turning to Bray. “I’m Alyssa. It’s nice to meet you. We will have to agree to disagree on who’s the more handsome brother though.”
Bray laughs. “I think I like you, Alyssa, if he…” He points a finger at my chest. “…messes up, you know where to find me.” The bastard smirks at her.
I don’t give Alyssa a chance to respond. I shoulder barge past Bray and lead her towards my bedroom, calling behind me, “Don’t be a dick. This one’s sticking.”
He laughs and then I hear the front door open and close. Closing my bedroom door behind me, I walk over to the dresser and pull out a t-shirt for Alyssa to sleep in, before holding it out to her. “You can sleep in this. The bathroom’s through that door.” I point to the en suite.
“Thank you,” she says ever so quietly as she takes the shirt, shutting the en suite door behind her.
I make quick work of stripping down to my boxers and climb into bed, pulling the covers back on her side and waiting for her to return while mentally repeating to myself: Don’t stuff this up. Don’t stuff this up.
All thoughts come to a halt when Alyssa walks out of the bathroom wearing my shirt.
Holy shit, I did not think this through.
I thought I could keep my hands to myself, but fuck…
After seeing her look like this, it’s taking every ounce of my self-control to not sink my cock into her and claim her, mark her as mine.
I’m lost for words—whatever game I thought I had just went out the window. I’m sitting here staring at her as she makes her way to the bed. She looks a little unsure, and I know I need to put her at ease, but how?
“Do I have something on my face?” she asks. All I can do is shake my head no. “Then why are you looking at me like that?”
I don’t know how honest to be. I don’t want to scare her away, but I also want to let her know exactly what my intentions are. I’m momentarily speechless.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone look as fucking hot as you do right now, wearing my shirt.
Fuck, I can’t even think straight right now, sunshine.
All I can think about is getting a taste of you, how you’re going to feel when I finally sink my cock into your pussy and have your walls tighten around me.
” I shake my head, attempting to clear those thoughts.
Alyssa is blushing hard and is frozen at the side of the bed. Maybe I was a little too honest. “Don’t worry, sunshine. I gave you my word; it’s not happening tonight. All I’m going to do tonight is hold on to you, so I know you’ll still be here when I wake in the morning.”
She nods. “Okay, but since we’re being honest and all here, I’ve seen what you’re packing and if you think that…” She waves her hand in the general direction of my cock. “…is ever going to fit into me, you are surely mistaken.”
I laugh a little, tugging her closer to me.
Wrapping my arm around her body, I hold her tight.
Kissing her forehead, I speak into her ear, “Baby, it’ll fit.
You might not know this yet, but you were made for me.
” I settle onto the pillow behind her, breathing in her scent.
Huh, I never thought I would be one for spooning and cuddling.
Right now, I can’t think of a better feeling than how it feels to hold her close to me.
“I can hear you thinking, sunshine. Go to sleep. There is always tomorrow,” I tell her as she squirms around a little more before settling into me, into my arms.
“Goodnight, Zac. I really hope we always have a tomorrow,” she whispers.
Her words have slayed me. I can’t even respond, so I just hold her, and that’s how I fall asleep, having the best fucking sleep I’ve ever had.
