Temptation • An NBA Love Triangle

4 • leave me alone

Completely distracted and confused, Armelle walked into her mother's new home and sat on the couch.

She couldn't keep her mind off of John's behavior in the store.

"What's wrong?" Eileen sat next to her daughter and rubbed her shoulder.

"Nothing, ma. I'm just tired." She wasn't lying, really.

She had a long week. From being supermom to being her mother's errand girl, she was exhausted.

"You'll be alright. Did you get my stuff?" Armelle nodded with her eyes closed and sighed.

She stood up and walked outside with her mother, carefully grabbing the bags out of the trunk of her car.

They walked inside and sat the bags in the living room.

"You go get some rest, honey. I'll call you later and we can finish up decorating the dining room." She nodded and hugged her mother before making her way outside.

She wasn't sure if she should tell her husband about her encounter with John or not. It would make Tobias upset knowing someone harassed his wife, so she decided to let it go.

John and Tobias were getting to know each other over a matchup on 2k.

Tobias felt like John could be a good friend and John genuinely felt the same way.

Even though he wasn't in his right state of mind, he stayed focused on the task at hand.

Earning Tobias' trust and getting into Armelle's pants.

"Babe, I'm home!" Armelle walked into the living room, freezing once she saw John.

"Hey, baby. You remember John, right?" She nodded with a fake smile and left the room quickly.

Tobias stood up and followed his nervous wife to the kitchen.

"What's wrong, Melly?" He placed his hands on her face and looked into her eyes.

"I'm just really tired, babe. I'm gonna go lie down, okay?" He nodded and kissed her gently before letting her go.

"I'm about to go pick up Toes and Titus. You need anything while I'm out?" She shook her head and smiled before kissing him again.

"I love you, Tobi." He watched in awe as she made her way out of the kitchen.

Her effortless beauty put a genuine smile on his face.

Armelle stared at the ceiling, trying to fall asleep.

She heard the door open and close, so she assumed Tobias didn't leave yet.

"I thought you were leaving, Tobi?" She rubbed her eyes sleepily and sighed softly.

Not getting a response, she looked over at the door and gasped once she saw John.

"What are you doing up here?" She sat up and pulled the covers closer to her bra-clad chest.

He kept a straight face and stepped closer to the bed, making Armelle even more nervous than before.

"You know what I want, Armelle. I need you. I can't keep my mind off of you. I'm very attracted to you."

She looked down and shook her head slowly.

"And I'm very married. Just leave me alone, John." She saw the bulge in his pants and attempted to keep her eyes on his.

"So what?" He stared down at her and she narrowed her eyes at him in disgust.

"So you should leave. My husband will be back anytime now." He watched her closely before making the first move.

He grabbed her hair and made her look into his eyes.

"Shut up and let me fuck the shit out of you."
