Twisted tryst

Too much talking

His deep brown eyes peered into mine, a small glint flashing in and out. I swear I was seeing things. He looked so calm but so angry at the same time.

"What?" I asked trying to act dumbfounded by this random question.

"You look like you're dying to tell me something."

My chest began to tighten as I thought of everything that led up to this moment. There was truly nothing that I could think of. What exactly did I do without him? Heh, sarcasm.

"You look like you had fun," I said trying to move along.

His eyebrows shot up, an amused look appearing on his face. I stared at him intently waiting for him to say something.

"So this is the game we're going to play, huh?"

I tilted my head and frowned. What the hell was this guy talking about. I explicitly told him I was having guests over. Was he mad they stayed so late?

"I don't unders-"

I cut myself off and froze. My eyes widened so much I felt as though they were about to pop out of my head. Asher, it was all about Asher. I'm not sure how I had forgotten about that so quickly. I mean I had to act normal since Tanner of all people showed up.

"Uh huh, speak," he said as he nodded.

"If you're talking about how everyone stayed so late, I'm sorry. I didn't know it would make you feel this way."

Here we go with my terrible lying again. Not sure how I'm going to get out of this one. If I had known he would be creeping around, I would have never done it. At this point I just have to wing it.

"Y/N..."

"What?"

"I'm not that dumb, you know. Actually, I'm not dumb at all. I saw what happened between you and that guy. When I got home I saw an unusual car out front so I snooped around. You were all over him. I'm not ashamed to say I was partially aroused."

I blurted out the first thing that came to my mind, "well he's gay and I was just doing a bit of friendly helping."

My mind had just registered the last thing he said. Who the hell proudly admits that? I was unsure of what to say so I brushed it aside. I didn't want any unusual fantasies in such an awkward moment like this.

Tanner folded his lips into his mouth and furrowed his brows. He stared at me for a moment before letting out a laugh, "excuse me but, what?"

"He hasn't gotten laid in years because this town barely has any guys that are his type. He asked to experiment and me being the nice friend I am, I decided to help. He could've gotten blue balls, you know?"

"For starters, blue balls is an utter lie. If the semen build up was that bad, it could've been fixed with a quick sesh," he looked down and held his hand in a C shape, moving it up and down over his lap.

"Uhm," I croaked out.

"Second, don't think for one moment that I beilve any of these lies. But if it were true, couldn't he have just asked the older woman who was here? Also, did you forget you weren't single?"

I laughed and shook my head, "Maria?! She would never. Plus, never once did we make it offical."

"Hm, that may be true but still. Friends don't do the things that we do unless there is something else going on."

I harshly gulped and shook my head. I could not let him find out about any secret operations going on beneath his nose. That would be a fatal mistake on my end. I don't know what he's fully capable of. He could kill everyone I knew if that got out.
