Just Friends

Chapter 18

Aaron sensed he had hit the issue bothering Lilly, something with Cameron and Courtney.

“So you going to tell me what’s wrong?” He brushed some of her thick hair away from her face and was shocked to see her eyes watering.

“I got into.. A fight? An argument? I’m not sure what to call it.. but I got into one with Cameron.”

“About Courtney?”

Her face turned bright red and a bitter smile formed on her plump lips. She forced a short laugh out, it didn’t suit her.

“I guess. I don’t mind Courtney but.. She.. She can be a bit much.” Her brown eyes flashed to him, then away. “45 minutes and I’ll have to deal with them both.”

“You can stay at my place.”

Her hair swirled around her as she made a swift movement to face him.

“I don’t mean in a creepy away.” He chuckled. “You can take my bed, I’ll crash on the couch. I’m only a floor up from Cameron.”

“Oh, I didn’t think you were being a creep.” Her genuine smile returned. “I don’t want to impose.”

“I’m the one who offered.”

“I..” She turned away from him again. “That would be nice.” She knew if she went to her place, she’d either have to hear Courtney or face the possibility of caving to Cameron.

Aaron placed two fingers under her chin and guided her face toward him. He stared into her deep brown eyes, the tears absorbing back in.

“If you change your mind at anytime you can always head down to his, er, your place. I’ll even escort you.” His words comforting and backed with a friendly grin.

Lilly’s ears heard his works but her eyes were glued to his mouth. More specifically, the barbell in his tongue. Tonight it was blue. He clicked it against his teeth, pulling her from her gaze.

“So-Sorry. Thank you.”

“What are you curious about?”

“Huh?”

“My tongue, you’re curious about it.”

“Oh!” More blushing and nervousness. “Noth-”

“Don’t lie.” He was stern, his eyes remaining on hers.

She sighed deeply, defeat mixed with embarrassment washed over her.

“Well.. I want.. to know how it.. feels.” Her hands fidgeting with her hair again. “Not to have one.” She added, in case she wasn’t clear.

One of Aaron’s eye brows arched up. He hadn’t guessed her to have dirty thoughts about it. It turned him on, adding to his other reasons for being drawn to her. He let the metal in his mouth rub against his teeth, thinking of how to respond.

She gazed up at him, unknowingly giving him access to her neck. He leaned down over her, his mouth connecting with her collar bone as a test to see how she would react. Her breathing deepened but she didn’t move or try pushing him away. He continued.

He left a few more kisses, warming her bare skin. He felt her tiny hands rest on his shoulders. That’s when he let the cool metal of his barbell touch her as his tongue licked across her shoulder.

She let out a moan, encouraging him to do more. He gradually made his way up her neck with kisses, occasional licks, and even a bite that had her arching her body toward his.

He wasn’t expecting her to be anything like this but he wasn’t complaining. In fact, his pants were becoming increasingly tight and unbearable. His hands went to her hips, his fingers digging roughly into her skin and pleased to find her melting more into him.

He couldn’t hold back any longer, he went directly for her mouth. She kissed back, her hands sliding up his neck and clutched at his hair. His body pressed her against the wall and his tongue delved inside. He could feel her tongue explore his barbell.

One hand wonderful up and wrapped around her throat, squeezing hard enough to be known but not to cut off her air flow. Her mouth widened and she moaned, he wanted to strip her right there. He briefly caught her bottom lip between his teeth, ending their kiss.

Her lids fluttered open, arousal evident in her chocolate drop eyes. Her her body against his and her arms around his neck.

“Have I satisfied your curiosity?”

“Not quite.” She bit into her lip.

He groaned, sandwiching her body tighter between his and the wall. There was no hiding his erection. Never would he have guessed the innocent-like, dark hair girl was kinky and naughty.

“My place?”

Her cheeks colored again and instead of words she nodded her head. He took a step back, giving her a small amount of space to walk next to him. He brought her to the front of the club and called for an Uber to take them back. In the car, she rested her head in his shoulder and yawned.

“Can you text Cameron, please? This dress doesn’t allow pockets.”

“Yea.”

Aaron wasn’t sure what Cameron would think about him taking Lilly home but sent a message anyway.
