My Boyfriend's Best Friend

Chapter Seventeen

Aidan

As I laid on my side, staring down at the beautiful girl with whom my legs were currently entangled with, I couldn’t help but appreciate how lucky I was. I had been hopelessly and utterly in love with this girl for so long and for the past year or so, she had reciprocated my feelings. Nothing can compare to the feeling of requited love. I gently stroked a hand along her cheek and let out a small smile when she nestled closer to me, hands sleepily reaching out to grip a shirt I wasn’t wearing. Sometime during the night, Rylie must have gotten cold in her camisole and sleep shorts and put on my shirt; which had been on the nightstand. I loved seeing her in my clothes. There was something just so intimate about it that made her look bloody incredible. Maybe because it symbolised that she was mine. I reached down and gave a soft kiss on the lips but it quickly became more when the ‘sleeping’ girl beneath me returned the kiss with enthusiasm.

I shifted over her slightly so that my chest was pressed against hers and gently teased her lips apart before gliding my tongue into her mouth. I felt Rylie’s hands in my hair tug me down closer and I smiled against her mouth. Her bare foot ran up my leg before hooking around my thighs and pulling me down. I heard her moan and my body started to stir. Pulling back from the kiss, I looked at her. Her eyes were wide open, showing me that she was awake but she still maintained some of the sluggishness that sleep brought on.

“Hey,” I whispered softly, tracing my thumb over her lips.

They tweaked up in a soft smile that did little to help me keep myself in check. “Hey,” she whispered back, still running her hands through my hair and making it harder for me to control myself.

“How long have you been awake?” I asked, trying to distract myself with idle chit chat.

“A while. I was going to let you stare at me all morning and do nothing but then you kissed me and well, I like to be a bit more involved in that,” she answered softly, with that adorable half-smile on her face.

I chuckled softly and leant my forehead against hers. “I knew you were only with me for the sex,” I said with a wink.

Rylie gave me a teasing look that screamed ‘duh’. “It’s cute that you think otherwise.”

“Cute?” I raised an eyebrow in mock horror. No guy likes being told he was cute. Cute was for puppies and babies; not horny-almost-eighteen year old boys. I pressed my hips down on Rylie’s and performed a manoeuvre that made her gasp. I couldn’t help but smirk. “That cute enough for you?”

I could see the lust in Rylie’s eyes and when she opened her mouth to speak, she was breathless. “I’m not sure. You’ll have to do it again.”

Smirking, I leant over and gave her a quick kiss on the lips before climbing out of the bed. “Too bad. That was all you get.”

Immediately, she shot up and looked at me. “What? Where are you going?” The blanket had fallen to her waist and I was frozen for a moment as I saw her in my shirt looking at me with a look that said ‘why aren’t you screwing me?’. I shook my head to clear them of any non-PG rated thoughts I was having about her.

“I need a shower,” I stated, bringing myself back from fantasyland.

Rylie looked at me for a moment before scrambling out of the bed and racing towards the bathroom. It took me a moment to realise what she was up to and I quickly chased after her. I caught her around the waist just as she got to the bathroom and picked her up, spinning us around so that she was facing the opposite way.

“Aidan!” she squealed, making a lame attempt to hit me in the chest.

“Rylie,” I mimicked in a high pitched voice.
