What the fuck just happened?686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydQZDRAoKA
I can only register two things as I hide Big Ben from all the extra eyes in the doorway.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWmUG3TSUT
One, Red is pissed.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbgFeQwYrd
Two, Kat is laughing... for some reason?686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuOVmtv6qO
Now, why the hell is she pissed? The way she eyed my junk earlier, I thought she might try to castrate me. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDLDmcuWXl
What did I do to her? 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFa9deGqB0
Well, whatever it is, she can leave Big Ben out of it. I try to hide my smirk at Kat's nickname since this seems like an inappropriate time.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ724uYruY2D
Okay, let's see... 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnbhj8ltDx
Did I say something stupid last night? That seems like something I would do... but I barely talked to her and it's not like I was wasted.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WtJCaz59S
"What the fuck is so fucking funny, Katarina?" Red's eyes bulge as she turns on her friend. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp4aX6XfMG
Kat just continues to laugh. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbLqBMqnoQ
"This... This... man-whore..." She gestures towards me. "...is in here stealing your innocence while his idiot wingman is trying to distract me."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kd7YvRcCe
Say what now?686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5YCO6Cws9
"Man-whore?" I get out the same time Kat speaks up. "Innocence?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb8wgScNBn
Kat looks at me and blushes, but her gaze sweeps back to her friend. "Vanessa, seriously. Nothing happened. Calm down, Mama Bear."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OqXLsp1A1
"Oh right. You are both just sitting in bed... naked for no reason." Red rolls her eyes. "Come on, Katie-bug, I'm a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3LbrP2k5c
"Well, not completely naked." Kat drops the blanket. "You can't have sex with your underwear on, right?" 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEwvnLIbMi
I suck in a breath, suprised by her lack of modesty. "Jesus, Kat." I try to avert my gaze to the wall, but she's so damn sexy, my eyes keep wandering back to her.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdawsvFDGt
Shit, I'm not sure Big Ben can handle much more... 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WF1SfvRWx
"Come on, Ness. They are both adults, just leave them alone." Nate speaks from behind Red.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnzr8eMa82
Kat's entire body turns bright red as she realizes she has an audience. She pulls the sheet back over her body and hides her face.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsl0pJnYln
I'm conflicted. I'm thankful she's covered, but I also miss the amazing view. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITN5Uba4hZ
I need to see her again.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV34Za0MNr
Red turns on Nate. "And you! Don't even get me started on you." Her eyes narrow. "Trying to protect your wingman. You knew he would worm his way into her bed and you said nothing."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhNsXLl4fh
"Umm, this is his room, babe." He gives her a pointed look. It's nice to know he always has my back, even in this fucked up situation. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nz8N6Mk03
"So what?" Her face contorts with confusion as she tries to understand.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUFUixf8rG
Sick of being spoken about as if I'm not here, I defend myself. "So, I didn't weasel myself anywhere." 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKofNGPBKT5
Kat covers her face with her hands.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjxh1F95P3
...And I immediately feel guilty for speaking up. I should just keep my mouth shut instead of stroking my own ego.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8GGQftVbG
Even if she did crawl into my bed. I would gladly take all the blame to get another night with her. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WqdEEWYlH
"Yeah, right. She was drunk and passed out, how do I know you didn't just strip her down and put her in your bed?" Red is a determined little thing. I wonder how Nate's going to be able to handle her. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztbH12oufg
"I told you before, Ben wouldn't do that. If you want to keep accusing him of shit, you can leave!" Nate has my back.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgAyXHwRha
Before Vanessa can react, Kat's meek voice comes out, as she lowers the blanket from her face. "Ness, he didn't." Her eyes dart to the floor. "He put me in the room next door."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbKLphqD4o
Shit, is she ashamed... of being caught or of being with me? 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6K1TRPucI
"Oh..." Red's eyes widen as realization sets in. Is this really that weird for Kat?686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnyxuLdj7w
"Why don't we give them a minute to get dressed?" Nate steps closer behind Vanessa as he slides his hands up and down her arms. "Come on, Babe."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLlNxv2nik
"Uh..." Vanessa clears her throat. "Yeah, we're just gonna... go." Her eyes avoid me completely.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4IkEK2yVN
Once they have left the room, I'm not sure what to do. Honestly, I would like to finish what we started, but it's definitely not good timing.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfcrEXzwd2
Kat clears her throat. "I am so sorry about..." She waves her hands toward the door. "...all THAT."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8UnishXqQ
"Uh... Yeah..." I can't help the laugh that escapes. "That was... weird." 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITR3AinBQF
She sighs and flops back on the bed, rubbing her hands over her face. The sheet doesn't go with her. "What a mess..." 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFaazmwpYU
"Uh huh..." I'm having a hard time staying focused with her body exposed again. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFhpArMW6r
"Okay, we need a plan." She continues to assault her eyes.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5iUPl7Rk7
"Uh huh..." I know I should be paying attention, but she's wearing see through underwear. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApxn2dpfNw
She moves her hands from her face and looks at me. "You aren't even listening, are you?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRY99Vur5Q
"Uh huh..." Damn, she caught me off guard. "I mean... yeah. Totally."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdvKlJSPUY
She giggles, but hits my arm. "Focus, Ben!"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLKOhKygme
"Sorry, it's a little difficult." I gesture toward her body. Shit, what was I thinking? Now, she's going to cover up. Keep your mouth shut, stupid.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzajnlu8MXT
"Oops..." She looks down at her body and throws me an innocent look. "Is this distracting?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XiGhylffz
Oh, she knows what she's doing. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugyzcqq9PS
I reach toward her, needing to feel her smooth skin... Just as a pillow hits me in the stomach. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy13Vz34KP
"Hey now! You almost hit Big Ben." I grin as the blush takes over her face. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEIqRMjJQ3
"Oh my god! Focus, Ben!" She throws the other pillow at my face. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQqiPCdKo5
"It would be easier if I wasn't being assaulted." I clutch both pillows in my lap so she can't use them to hit me anymore. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcWuAaFu2Q
"Okay, I'm done beating you." I try to hide the smirk taking over my face. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPOpDsNurt
"You are into some kinky shit." I would totally let her beat me, you know, if she was into that.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpBif2ROPc
Actually... I would probably let her do anything she wanted. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmkGBwQllr
"Wh-what? No... I'm not..." She looks shocked, but I can't tell if I am way off or if I cracked some secret. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAKAnR7rkP
Something flashes in her eyes, so I decide to press it. "Wait, are you really? I was just joking." 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSlJPzpsTD
Her mouth pops open in disbelief. I should probably stop, but I also really want to know. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX11r4cJA6
"What is it? Whips? Tied up? Foot fetish? Threesomes?" I'm not sure I like the thought of sharing her with anyone else...686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25pVFKQ06l
Her eyes narrow. I seem to have pushed too far. Curiosity killed the cat, right?686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4aUwvbhjI
"Oh come on... I will totally do it with you, if you just tell me." Maybe we can do some of my fantasies too, most of them involve her. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkkqSUEx6R
Her demeanor changes completely. "No." Her face stern, like when I first met her last night. "We need to get dressed and go out there and deal with this."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g81uk7Fs1
"Deal with... this?" I can't help but feel a little hurt. I thought we had something, even if it wouldn't last, but apparently not. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d0vjFMD4E
"Yes... this situation." She speaks slowly, as though I'm incapable of understanding. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHccy7AfCX
"So, now we are a situation?" I shoot back, not hiding my offense.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6viOKmUlN
"No Ben, there is no 'we'. This was all a huge drunken mistake." I'm not sure why, but those words sting somewhere deep within. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYlRdOofMx
I feel like someone kicked me in the stomach. My chest physically hurts. What is wrong with me? 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNG46UchY1
I didn't want a relationship or anything, but I wouldn't say it was a huge mistake. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYDi2EqHmV
"And this morning?" I ask bitterly. "How are you going to explain that away, Kat? We aren't drunk anymore." I try to unclench my jaw, but I can't.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTrd5ouKC3
"You know what I mean." She grabs her dress from the floor and pulls it over her head.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGnmZrjt3W
"Oh no, please enlighten me, Kat." It comes out through gritted teeth. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GDF5tsOkg
"You're mad?" She looks at me with complete confusion. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNqvgFGaTE
I glare at her, unsure what to say. Hell yes, I'm mad, but I can't explain why. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs2NX5ZyMI
"I thought you did this kind of... thing. You know, like all the time." She looks embarrassed, but after she ripped out my heart a few minutes ago, I don't feel that bad. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmLYPCHgbq
Wait... Is that what she did? Did I really mean that? If she ripped out my heart... No, it's just a figure of speech.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSpj57Pza3
"Not exactly..." I'm not sure how to respond. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDDC8sMcGt
"Oh... I'm sorry. I heard... things. I just assumed. Oh god. I'm so sorry." She makes her way to the door, placing her hand on the knob.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo0e4QgkZ1
"No... Well... I mean... Yeah... But... No?" Shit. When did my brain stop working. I'm about to lose her and I can't even say something to make her stay.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3adKU5fuC
"Please just forget any of this happened." She begs before turning to walk out the door.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDHGzhvJ7b
"I don't want to forget." I whisper as she walks out of the room with my heart.
