Bound To Him | ✔️

27

~Katya's POV~

I woke up by myself the next morning, not that I was surprised by that. Knowing Onyx, he'd probably left the second he could, though I didn't really blame him. He had no reason to stick around, after all.

However, to my surprise, I found that the space between my thighs seemed to have been wiped completely clean, not a bit of our dried releases remaining between my thighs like I'd expected there to be. It wasn't something that I'd expected him to do, but I couldn't help but to smile to myself nonetheless. That was probably the most kindness I'd ever receive from him.

After I climbed out of bed, I peeled off my sheets and blankets, putting them in the washer to get them clean. I hadn't washed them in about a week now, anyways, and I found myself almost grateful that I hadn't or else it'd have just been a waste. Starting the washer, I wandered back into my room and entered the bathroom, turning on the shower so I could begin to get ready for the day. As the water heated up I brushed my teeth and my hair, the strands a little tangled from the way Onyx had been grabbing at them last night.

The shower I took was a little bit longer than usual, mostly because I wanted to wash of the dried sweat from sex and because the hot water soothed my worn out muscles, making me not want to leave. Eventually, though, I turned off the water and stepped out, wrapping my towel around myself after drying my body as best as I could. My hair was still dripping wet and I didn't feel like waiting for it to dry, so I first began to blow dry my hair before anything else. Once my hair was dry, I entered my room and grabbed a pair of undergarments from one of the drawers beside my closet, pulling the set on.

Leaving my towel on the bed, I entered my closet in my underwear and began to look for some clothes to put on, my fingers thumbing through the items of clothing. I settled on a high-waisted, white pleated skirt and a black crop-top with a white ringed collar and sleeves. On the chest of the shirt was the word "Umbre" in a light khaki color with white outlining the letters, the Romanian word meaning "shadows." Lastly, I pulled on an oversized khaki colored jacket and a pair of black and white sneakers.

I took the time to quickly fill in my brows and swipe on some mascara as per usual, snatching up my phone once I was done before I left my apartment.

A groan of relief left me as I flopped onto the couch in Onyx's living room, lulling my head back against the couch. To my left sat Zena and Saki, a giggle leaving one of their lips, though I couldn't place who it had come from of the two. Sometimes their laughs sounded weirdly similar.

"Long day?" Saki asked, an amused smile tugging up at her lips. I grumbled, shrugging my shoulders as I stretched my legs out in front of me with my toes pointing up towards the ceiling. "Someone decided to run their mouth in yoga today, and all of us got punished for it, for some reason. Anyways, I ended up having to run around the track for the entire class and it wasn't fun, to say the least." I responded with a pout, never having liked running very much. Sure, I liked yoga, but I pretty much despised any other type of working out. Yoga made me feel relaxed, so it was much different.

Both Saki and Zena giggled this time, grinning in amusement at my words. "Poor Kat." Zena teased with mirth in her gaze, clearly not taking any pity on me. I just huffed again, glancing up as Onyx entered the living room from the hallway, the entrance of his large frame immediately catching my attention.

His eyes met mine and I narrowed my eyes at him as he purposely approached me, plopping down in the empty spot to my right with his body much closer than it needed to be. Of course I didn't really mind it, but it still wasn't necessary. We were with all of our friends, though he clearly didn't care about that. He just pressed his side into mine, muscular thighs spread to push against the bare flesh of my legs, causing me to glance over and narrow my gaze at him. "Stop that." I whispered, gently nudging away his hand that tried to grip at my thigh.

The fullness of his lips tugged into a smirk, amused at my rejections and clear frustration with him being so touchy. Still, that didn't seem to stop him because he just pulled away his touch for a minute or two before eventually returning, this time more sneaky with the touches than before. He flicked his fingers up the bottom of my skirt, teasing the skin of my thighs with his touch while I tried my best to ignore it, tightly crossing my right leg over the left. I'd hoped that it'd give him a hint, but Onyx leaned into my side more, looping his other long, strong arm around my shoulder.

Quickly smacking his hand from my thigh, I stood to my feet and the action caught the attention of Zena and Saki, who I could feel staring after me as I made my way out of the living room. I glanced over my shoulder a little, giving Onyx a scowl when I saw him smirking after my retreating frame.

I rolled my eyes and entered the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. As I was struggling to crack the lid off of the bottle, I heard two sets of footsteps enter the kitchen from behind me, causing me to glance back curiously. There stood Zena and Saki, the latter eyeing me with a cocked brow while Zena leaned against the island counter. "Alright, spill." Saki told me flatly all of the sudden, crossing her arms over her chest as the two of them stared at me expectantly.

Still clutching the unopened water bottle, I turned to face them and frowned. "What?" I asked, surprised and a little confused. The two of them rolled their eyes and looked at me like I was stupid. "Come on, Kat. You and Onyx. What's the deal there?" Saki asked, making Zena eagerly nod her head in agreement. "Yeah, you guys seem like you hate each other but sometimes you also look like you're about to bang each other's brains out." Zena added very matter of factly. I pursed my lips and leaned against the other end of the counter that Zena was leaning on, setting the bottle atop it beside me. "We do hate each other." I said, earning matching looks from the two of them that told me they didn't believe that was all there was to it.

"Fine." I sighed out, biting gently on my bottom lip. These two were easily the ones that I was closest to, and I figured it probably wasn't a big deal if they found out. "We're sleeping together, but that's about it." I told them with a shrug.

Zena paused, blinking in surprise as she stared at me. "I'm sorry, what? You're sleeping together?" She repeated, seeming incredibly shocked. Saki was just the same, though she was silent from her shock. "Um...yes." I affirmed, nodding my head slightly. Both of them exchanged glances, sharing looks of uncertainty. "And you're sure that's a good idea?" Saki asked, furrowing her brows. I smiled in amusement and shrugged my shoulders once more. "I mean, it isn't a big deal. We don't like each other and we both understand it's just some fun, so I think it's fine." I explained.

Regardless of my words, neither one of them looked very sure of that, but thankfully they didn't protest. I grinned at them, grabbing my water bottle. "What could really go wrong?" I said positively, cracking open the lid.

I then slipped my way by the two of them, heading back into the living room with my water in hand.
