Fuck, I fell for my best friend - Luke Hemmings [ LRH ]

Luke

I woke up with my arms wrapped around a very naked B for the second time in my life. We'd had very awesome car sex the previous night, and since we had already made the mistake of surrendering to our cravings, we decided to ditch the party and make that mistake at home a few more times. We texted the group chat that she wasn't feeling okay and so we were going home. Now it was about midday and I had my arms wrapped around her, I couldn't help pulling her closer to me, I liked the feeling of her body against mine. 

She smelled good, even after the partying and all the sex and the sweat, after all that, she still smelled good. I buried my face in her hair and she grunted softly and said "Yourticklinme" Her voice sounded raspy and she slightly slurred the words, which she usually did in the morning.

"Sorry" I told her. "You smell good" She lifted her head slightly.

"You were smelling me?" She questioned.

"Well.. maybe" She turned around to face me and I could see she was actually smiling.

"Good morning" She moved some hair out of my face.

"Good morning" My eyes travelled from her eyes to her lips. I want to kiss her, shit.

"Should we.. um, we should get up, shouldn't we?"

I wasn't sure where we were at, we were best friends, but at the same time I'd told her that I couldn't see her as just my friend anymore, and she'd told me that she didn't think we could help what was happening between us.

"Maybe we should talk first" I said.

"Um, sure"

"What do you think we should do with.. this?" She sighed and tried to turn so she'd be laying on her back, but my hand was still on her waist and I pulled softly so she would stay facing me.

"Lu, I don't think we have many options, honestly, we can't do this"

"But last night you said.." She interrupted me.

"I know what I said but.. I was tipsy, and you said those things and I just, I couldn't help it, but we have to try harder. We're grown ups, and we're not animals. I'm sure we have some self control" I took some time to consider what she said.

"But don't you think that there's a reason why this is happening? I mean, if we need self control is because we... well we want each other" She avoided my eyes while she thought it through.

"I.. um, I know, but we can't want each other, it's us. Do you really think that some good sex is worth risking the relationship we have?" Wow, her bluntness never ceased to susprise me.

"I'm not saying that, I'm saying that maybe there's a reason why it's happening"

"Don't do that, don't go there, you know I can't" I sighed, knowing exactly what she meant.

"Ok, I won't go there, but we still can't help being attracted to each other"

"I just told you, we are adults, we're not animals, I think we can" I considered it for a minute and decided to do it. I caressed her waist slowly going down her body, while my eyes were locked with hers. "What are you doing?" I ran my hand back up and placed it on her back to pull her closer to me. "Luke what are.."

"Tell me to stop and I'll believe it" I leaned closer so our lips were almost brushing.

"What.. um, what do you mean?" My hand was on her hip now, keeping her close to me.
