Hey! I have kind of a weird question to ask you guys. I have to practice stretching and sports massage techniques for my job. Would any of you be cool with letting me practice on you?
The second I put my phone down on my desk, it starts buzzing like crazy.
Anna: OMG yes!! Please!! I’m so stiff from sitting down in lab these past few weeks, I need this!
Poppy: Sign me up!
Briar: I would LOVE a massage!
I smile at my phone screen, relieved and happy.
Poppy: Are you guys free tomorrow night? I can have you over at my apartment. I’ll get snacks and drinks. We’ll make a girls’ night out of it.
Me: That would be amazing! Thank you!!
Poppy: My pleasure. It’s the least I could do if you’re going to give me a free massage
Anna: Lucy, I’m surprised you didn’t ask to practice on Leo. I bet he’d say yes to you putting your hands on him ;)
Just the mention of Leo has heat racing across my body.
I try not to think about that insanely hot kiss we shared at the gala. But I fail miserably.
Because I haven’t been able to get that kiss or Leo out of my mind since then.
I know I shouldn’t be thinking about him. We agreed it was a mistake and that we would move on…
But I can’t. It’s all I can think about…the rough, desperate way he claimed my mouth… how I could feel his hard dick pressed against my hip as he pushed me up against the wall and gave me the hottest kiss of my life…the way he said my name, all raspy and rough…
I swallow, feeling hot all of a sudden.
Up until that point, I wasn’t sure if Leo liked me more than a friend. But that kiss made it crystal clear just how much he liked me…and it turned me on like crazy.
I think about how I was grinding on his hard, muscled thigh…how close I was to having an orgasm in that darkened hallway…
But then his sister walked in on us.
That familiar disappointed feeling courses through me. He’s right. We can’t fool around again.
Because right now, Leo is my closest friend. And my roommate. He’s the reason I have this job. He’s the reason I have Wally. He’s the reason I have a place to live.
And if we hook up and things are weird, it could change our friendship forever. I could lose him—I could lose everything.
A sick feeling lands in the pit of my stomach just thinking about it.
That’s why we can’t be anything more than just friends.
I type a reply in the group chat.
Me: I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to massage Leo after what happened at the gala.
Briar: ???
Anna: Um, what happened??
Poppy: Did you guys hook up?
Me: I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow night.
