All Chapters of Dangerous Pleasures: Chapter 1271 - Chapter 1280

- Taylor -I could still feel the tingle on my lips from Aly's last kiss. Her face swam in my mind, the memory of those soft brown eyes making my insides go all fuzzy. I wanted to see her again, but I wouldn't be the one to make contact. She didn't want me, no matter what she was telling herself now. She had no idea what it meant to be gay, even in a place like North L.A. And when faced with those pressures, when she had to choose, she wouldn't choose me. And it would be easier on everyone if that happened sooner rather than later.I tried to keep my focus on my swimmers, and I did okay. Luckily it was a cloudy morning, so the numbers were down. Or maybe it wasn't lucky, and bigger crowds would have made me concentrate more. As it was I had little to do but think about the petite brunette who'd shared my bed the last two nights. She wasn't going to be there tonight, however, and I was going to miss her.The sun finally broke through a little afternoon, about the same time as Jen showe

"Sure." She took a drink from her bottle. "I can handle being called names.""Still, I'm sorry."Aly ran her fingers through my hair, and we shared a few gentle kisses as we had our drinks. When we were done Aly announced she wanted to dance some more, and we made our way back that direction. After a few selections a slow song came on, and Aly wrapped herself in my arms. She looked up at me, whispering softly."You know, I hear you can go for hours, and make a girl come and come."I smirked at her. "That's the rumor.""Wanna show me?""Hell, yeah."She led me off the dance floor and toward the door. I was able to wave at Jared as we left, and he gave me a big thumbs up. Such a guy thing to do. Soon we were on our way home, earlier than I'd expected, but I didn't mind, all things considered. Aly was holding my hand as we drove, and that felt nice.When we got back I led Aly up the stairs. She let me ravish her a little in the entryway before breaking away and holding me at arms length.

"I thought she proposed at Caratini's?""That's where she gave me the ring. But we made the decision that night. From then on every chance I got I would talk about her, tell people how wonderful she is, how lucky I was. It is amazing. The last thing anyone making advances wants to hear is how great your partner is."I laughed at the simple brilliance in that.Vicky shrugged. "We all have insecurities. I know how much I love my wife, and if I do, I will make sure to keep her fears at bay."As I drove home I thought a lot about what Vicky said. If Taylor was afraid I'd lose interest, I'd make sure she knew I wasn't. A challenge maybe, given how busy I'd be next week and this year in particular, but I could do it. I'd do almost anything to ensure I could wake up in Taylor's arms again like I had this morning.It was a beautiful, sunny southern California morning, and when I arrived home I found both my mom and sister laying out by the pool. Kelsey was actually wearing the orange bikini I

She rummaged through her bag for her toiletries before heading into the bathroom. I had a few minutes to decide what I was going to say, and I could feel my heart starting to beat fast. When Sadie came out she was wearing her glasses and her jeans were draped over her arm, her white panties visible under her tank top, shapely tan legs stretching to the floor. My eyes widened and I looked away as she bent down to get a pair of pajama pants out of her bag and slipped them on.What the hell was wrong with me? Sadie and I had been changing in front of each other for years. I'd seen her a lot more naked than that dozens of times, and there still wasn't any real attraction, not like when I looked at Taylor. But I was aware of her, just like in the driveway, and it felt strange.I jumped up and got into my dresser, pulling out my own set of PJ's and heading into the bathroom myself. I sat on the toilet and tried to collect myself. I felt tears sting my eyes. I wasn't going to be able to tell

I felt my eyes start to burn. "I'm sorry, I tried. I, um, I guess I'm not as brave as you think I am.""Hey, baby, it's okay." I could hear the hurt in her voice, but she didn't sound angry."I'm so sorry." A tear rolled down my cheek."Aly, it's fine. I lived in a closet for six years. I understand.""I do have my schedule though. What days do you have off next week?""Tuesday and Wednesday, as usual.""My last class on Tuesday ends at eleven. I could come over.""I'd love that, Aly. I'll be waiting.""Good. Besides, we have an errand to run."I heard her laugh. I loved that sound. "What kind of errand?""You, my sweet, will have to wait to find out.""Mmm, you make me crazy, you know that?" Her voice was low, sultry, and it made me shiver inside. I could see her face in my mind, her hungry expression. Tuesday couldn't come soon enough."Me too, thinking about lying in your arms, you taking me, it makes me not sleep so good.""Really?""Yeah." I let my own voice slip into a soft purr
