We're Just Friends (pending)

"Just friends?" I ask.

"Yeah. Sex, but without any strings attached."

"So we'd be like sex buddies, friends with benefits."

"Exactly." He smirks.

"I don't know Reid. It seems pretty risky."

"Will this reassure you?"

"Wha-"

His lips are against mine. He's got me pinned against the fridge, arms on either side of my head, mine around his neck, his knee in between my legs gently nudging my sweet spot and his tongue begs for entrance but I deny it. He grows anxious and impatient. He bites my lip and I gasp. His tongue enters and the kissing begins again. My fingers find their way into his brown hair and his body moves in closer to mine. I claw at his shirt wanting him to remove it but he backs away.

"You want this?" He says violently starring at me with his burning eyes.

"I do. But what if someone asks? What if people get suspicious?"

"What do you mean?"

"What do I tell them."

"Tell them, we're just friends. I'm sure that'll do."
