Desire

Alec

I looked deep into her desire filled eyes. I was dying to kiss her lips which were just a few centimeters from mine, but I wanted her to beg for it. My mind was good at controlling my heart and feelings so I was able to resist the urge. She looked into my eyes expectantly and I could see lust in hers. Touching her very smooth cheek, I felt heat radiating from it. I smiled because that was a sign that I was getting somewhere on my mission to seduce her. 

“Do you want me to kiss you?” I asked leaning in closer to her. I knew she wanted it, but I wanted to hear it from her lips, in case she decided to deny this moment happened. It would be nice to tease her about it later.

“Yes, Alec.” She said seductively and my blood rushed to a specific part of my body.

“You do what, baby?” I teased really liking where this was going. It was nice to know I made her all hot and bothered.

“I want you to kiss me, Alec.” She said, glancing at my lips.

I leaned closer but instead of kissing her lips like she expected me to do, I kissed her cheek and whispered to her ear.

“Not gonna happen, sweetheart.”

Then I pulled away, laughing hard. She was such a naïve, gullible, good girl and it was amusing.

Lynn looked at me with what I thought was sadness in her eyes and without saying a word, picked up the key from the bedside table. She walked towards the door in embarrassment.

“Don't you want to know what happened?” I asked, holding in a laugh. “Should I tell you?”

She didn't reply but kept moving. I'd hurt her, I knew. I also knew that she would soon get over it, after all I had not touched her, despite being tempted all night long by her luscious body on my bed.

I needed to take a really cold shower to cool me down. Sleeping on the same bed with a hot girl and not banging her was extreme torture. It was my first time to do that but I hoped it wasn't going to happen again. Lynn had been really cute while drunk and she'd touched me a lot but I'd controlled myself. I'd done so many mean things to her since I'd moved in and I didn't want to add salt to injury by taking advantage of her drunken state. I'd just laughed the lame jokes she cracked before sleeping and enjoyed the feeling of being cuddled with her.

I was still yearning for her. I knew she was hurt so I was going to make it up to her. We could be friends, after all. I wanted her to be happy by the end of the day. I had to think of something.

After cleaning myself and doing all the necessary preparations, I stepped out of my room heading to a restaurant for breakfast. Lynn was on the couch having hers while typing something on her phone. She neither looked up nor said anything. I headed to the front door but before I could reach, I heard a knock.

The door opened to reveal the only friend I'd made in the building, Ross and another guy.

“Hey,” Ross said pushing me away from the door. “He's Chris”

I tapped his shoulder and mouthed “Hey” to his friend.

“Want to see if Lynn's now okay,” Chris said. “I hope you didn’t do anything to her.”

Lynn stood up with a smile on her face. I could tell it was a forced one.

“Hi guys.”

She hugged Chris first, then Ross, holding onto him longer like he was her only strength.

“Sweetheart,” He mumbled, clearly enjoying the moment.

“Are you okay?” Chris inquired.

“I'm fine, let's sit guys.” she said. “I will get you something.”

I knew that was meant for the two guys but I sat just to see her reaction. Chris was still standing.

“I wish I could stay but I have to get to a seminar,” he said. “I’ll see you later, Lynn.”

“Good day, Chris. “ She said as he walked out. She looked at me and I raised my eyebrows causing her to turn to Ross.

“So Ross,” She sounded really happy as she took his hand in hers, ignoring me completely. Not that I was complaining. I did not expect her to forgive me yet.

“Baby, you got wasted yesterday.” He laughed. “Thought you were still in bed.”

She was silent and her mood changed. Was she angry? She leaned close to Ross like she wanted to whisper to him, then in a moment, her lips were on his. She pushed her body really close to him and I felt myself getting angry. I looked away and stomped out of the room slamming the door. I had been thinking of doing something to make her happy but all that was forgotten. How could she do that in front of me?

Lynn's POV

Alec was the worst boy I'd ever met. How could he do that to me? I thought he was going to kiss me but the fool didn't. I was so lost into his eyes and stupidly confessed that I really wanted him to kiss me. Even with his morning breath.

I left his room in anger, showered and prepared my breakfast. I was eating when he walked out of his bedroom and the last thing I wanted was to talk to him. Good thing he was leaving.

Then Ross and Chris came to check on me. I was so embarrassed about what had transpired in Alec’s room but the presence of my two friends made me comfortable.

When Chris left, I suddenly felt like kissing Ross. He looked so good and smelled really nice. His flirting had made me like him of late. I couldn't resist the urge after the disappointment with Alec so before I could control myself, my lips were on his.
