"Latch"

Lust &Skeletons pt. 2

I woke up the next morning, alone, in August's king size bed, we really did have sex, I thought to myself.

I leaned over to the side to find my clothes, but the only thing that was on the floor was my panties and socks. Great.

My hangover was too real and I had no energy whatsoever to play the after sex clothes hunt game.

August walked into the room mintues later in just some basketball shorts and Nike slides with socks on. So sexy!

He sat on the bed and kissed my forehead. "Good morning beautiful.", he said. "I figured you could use this.", he said handing me a bottle of water and aspirin.

I sat up, making sure to keep the sheet covered around my bare breasts. "Thank you.", I said, after taking the aspirin. "I have such a terrible headache."

"Remember to thank Travis for makin' you drink dat tequila on top of da vodka.", he chuckled. "Go pull yourself together then come downstairs to put some food in your stomach.", he said before moving a strand of hair out of my face.

Once August left the room, I got up and went to my guest room to do my hygiene. When I got out, I threw on just a t-shirt and boyshorts until the laundry was finished.

The aroma of whatever August had made for breakfast traveled upstairs, causing my mouth to water.

I got in the kitchen, and immediately grabbed my phone to reply to whatever messages Shawn had sent while August prepared my plate of steak, eggs, buttery grits and toast.

He brought my plate over to the table where I sat and joined me.

The food looked so good that it was no doubt in my mind that I wasn't gonna eat lady like. "Mmm, steak.", I said, cutting a piece to eat.

Oh my gosh! His steak was so juicy and tender, with the right amount of gravy. I hated to admit it but August's steak was much better than Shawn's. Fuck! August had me drawn to him with two pieces of meat now.

"So, did you sleep well?", he asked, interrupting my thoughts.

I nodded, "Yeah, I did."

"Good.", he said before taking a sip of juice. "I just want you to know dat I wanted last night to happen and it wasn't cuz of da liquor."

I nodded my head and finished chewing my food before speaking. "I did too.", I said honestly. "But as good as it felt, it also felt wrong... I cheated on my boyfriend Aug."

"I know. And you know dat I respect your relationship to da fullest... Always have. I just had to have you Mel.", he explained.

"I guess it's something we both had to experience, but part of me feel guilty as fuck and the other part of me is glad it happened... with you.", I said.

"Sooooo you basically sayin dat I ain't win you over wit' the d*ck or breakfast?", he joked.

I playfully hit his arm, "Silly!", I laughed. "I'm serious though Aug... we can't just start having occasional sex. I'm still your assistant at the end of the day. Business doesn't mix well wit' pleasure."

"Man, whoever made dat shit up was just guilty of their own actions. Some attorney was bangin' his secretary until he was hittin' it from da back one day and saw a pic of his kids on his desk... fucked up his whole mentality.", he said with a serious face.

I laughed, "Can you stop bein' a jerk!"

He chuckled, "Nah, I understand where you comin' from though. We'll keep it on a professional slash friendship level from here on out."
