24 - dead body

Q U I N C E Y

Somehow, at some point between all the kissing and touching we fell asleep on the couch in a tangled mess of limbs.

Although a little disappointment filled me at the thought of not going any further with Mads, I knew it was for the best to wait, at least a little bit more before everything went south. And I didn't want that to happen. I wasn't so sure what would happen if we'd had or will have sex. Will it be a one-time do-and-forget thing? I was never sure, not even where Mads and I were standing on the relationship spectrum. We're we just friends? Friends who kissed and felt each other up?

I was absolutely conflicted but one thing for sure, I liked his hands and mouth on me and I knew without a doubt I wanted more, even if the risk on the other side of that bridge seemed hazardous but tempting non the less.

Nerves tangled in my belly when the bell churned. I tried pushing away from Mad's arm that was wrapped tightly around me and untangling myself from the knot we'd made.

"Mads," I whacked his arm, "Maddox, wake up!" I whisper shouted, barely able to fully open my eyelids.

I patted and slapped and shook the hell at him to get up, but since he was the same brick as he was in the past, he refused to wake his heavy head. I pushed myself with my best effort away and climbed over his unconscious body before I fell on the carpet with a thud that was way softer than the pain that tinged in my body.

The bell rang and I hurried towards the door. I peeked through my handy peephole and a curse slipped past my tongue when I saw Knox standing behind the door.

"No, no no no," I was fully awake now, all sleepiness gone and fully on alert mode, looking from the peephole to the dead body of the man occupying my couch with nothing but pants on.

What was I supposed to do? How was I going to carry a freaking brick to where else?

My phone rang and I knew it was probably Knox. He refused to bang against the door to wake up any of the neighboring apartment owners and while I appreciated him being here, his timing was an absolute catastrophe.

What would he think if he saw Mads here? Did they every contact each other while away? Have they even met in person then?

"Wait, wait!" I squeaked opening the door the slightest bit and keeping my foot to stop him from trying to open it further.

"What took you so long?" He grumbled, putting his phone back into his duffle bag.

"I- I just need to put my underwear away, wait a sec," I shut the door in his face before he could utter a word. I took long strides toward the small kitchen and poured the coldest water into a cup before hurrying toward Mads and pouring the cup's content over him.

He jolted with a gasp, eyes so wide and terrified I almost had time to feel bad if it wasn't for the fact that my brother was standing mere meters away behind a freakin wood.

His eyes, so blue latched on mine, I sucked in my cheeks and hoped I looked apologatic enough, "What was that for?" His voice was hoarse and even with the situation at hand, I still had the audacity to swoon inwardly.

"Knox is here, you need to hide somewhere, he can't see you, not like this and not here anyway, I'm not sure what he'll do if he finds out you're here, almost nak—"

He grasped my arm and my body tugged toward him instantly. His eyes refused to leave me as his fingers smoothed down my no doubt messy, very unattractive hair and although I knew he'd probably seen me in worst looks than this when we were little, this time felt different and the feel of his fingers were like bolts of thunder on my skin.

Our lips were merely inches apart when Knox's voice jolted us back from each other.

"QUINCEY, OPEN THE DAMN DOOR."

Maddox groaned, "What is he doing here anyway?"

"He probably has a home game and is here to annoy me. You could stay in my room, I'll try not to make him stay for long."

After staring at one another for longer, he reluctantly let go of me. I got off and before I could get away, he swatted my butt.

I glared at him as warmth spread through my body. "You need to learn how to behave yourself!"

His eyes twinkled, "Can't do that when you're with me."

He stood up, the blanket falling to the ground and revealing the arousal that was hiding all this time. I averted my eyes and whispered on my way to the door for him to hurry away.

"Took you long enough," Knox slammed the door against the wall when I opened it and he welcomed himself in, throwing his duffle near the door and shoving his sneakers off.

I watched his back as he stalked toward the couch and slumped his huge body over where Mads and I had been tangled a few minutes ago before he appeared and broke the

"What are you doing?" I hissed when I walked into my room less than a few minutes later to find Maddox rummaging in my underwear drawer.

"What can a guy do, Q? You abandoned me and I got bored."

"No no no. Get your hands off—"

"Has any man seen you in this?" He pulled a black silky lingerie that was hidden in the back of my drawer, collecting dust from being left for so long.

I swallowed, hot desire building between my legs at the look he was giving me, "Why would you ask that?"

"To see if we'll have to get rid of it or use it for when it's time."

My throat was officially dry, wetness pooling in my panties and my hands tingling to be on him, "What time?"

His lips lifted, nothing innocent in them as he relinquished the garment and stalked toward me in long strides caging me between his intense gaze and the end of my bed.

He lifted my chin with a swift movement of his fingers and I watched him as he stared at my lips like they were the most delicious treat "The time I've been waiting for forever."
