The Sire

Chapter 4

The streets were quiet. The town has gone to sleep. There were no people outside nor cars passing by. It was that late. Even the bar area had emptied. No one would tell that just a few hours ago that part of town was blasting. Stone and Iris walked side by side on the sidewalk of one of the main avenues in Seattle. They had decided to walk until her apartment, like they have done so many other times. Whenever Maggie stayed with Jeff, Stone used to take Iris home and most of the times they would walk there so they could spend more time together. Everything between them was that easy and simple. It had always been like that ever since they met.

Stone was one of the first people Iris met in the new town. When she arrived in the Emerald City, she only had Maggie, but that same night, her friend took her to a party where she met Stone and Maggie's boyfriend, Jeff. Their connection was immediate. Stone had an enormous sense of humor and he was truly relaxed about everything. He made her laugh a lot and she liked that. When she came back to the apartment with Maggie that night, she didn't remember many people in there, but she remembered Stone. The second time they met, it was for some drinks at a club. The first weekend Iris spent in Seattle. The first time she had been to the old beer smelling place known as the Crocodile. That Saturday night, they had sex for the first time inside one of the rotten stalls of the club while their friends were dancing through rock music.

Iris could have said that it had been the drinking, but it was not that. Though the drinking helped her relax and lose her fears, she had been driven by a lascivious hankering for him, specifically him. She had never felt a feeling that lustful. Stone was too cute and she liked his style. He was clever and had a great sense of communication. His smile was incredibly addictive and his lips were to die for. He had the looks of a bad boy and a non-pretentious personality that enthralled her from hello. Even if she had never lost herself in the arms of anyone in a filthy bathroom stall before, with a stranger per say nonetheless, she never regretted it. The sex had been quick, they were in a public place, but it was one of the best experiences she had ever had. Coming back to repeat it was easy. Too easy... and that's how they become great friends which shared benefits. It was clear they both liked to be with one another and they rarely did anything to avoid it.

For months in a row, they engaged in a frenetic sexual activity. Though they were just friends, they both knew they were not sleeping with anyone else. They were exclusive even if they never talked about it. They would escape whenever they wanted, whenever they felt like it. Stone had spent entire nights with her, when Maggie was staying with Jeff and they'd have the apartment just for them. They had been lucky they were never caught, but in a way, all their friends knew something was happening between them. They would disappear mysteriously at the same time and come back at the same time. Cody was oblivious to all that though because he was not a regular. Iris had never seen him until the day Stone took him to a club where they would be hanging out. His charming and sweet personality wrapped around her like a weed growing around a house. From then on, whatever Stone and she were doing came to end, but their friendship remained as solid as ever.

"When is Cody coming back?" Stone asked her, tired of the silence that surrounded them after leaving the park.

They didn't even have time to talk about what happened before the group appeared and that was maybe leaving them a little uncomfortable. Ever since Iris got together with Cody that they haven't shared a kiss, a sole kiss and yet, after some months it was like they had never stopped. Stone felt his insides pulsing in need for her and he was fighting strongly to keep his emotions in place.

"On Tuesday... I guess..." Iris answered reluctantly. "I'm not quite sure." She said looking at him with her killing blue eyes.

The kiss they shared came to her mind that instant and her eyes lowered to his carnal lips. He had such beautiful lips; she always thought so. How she wanted him...
