“Be quiet and don’t make any sudden movements,” I whispered into her ear as I slid her bra straps down her arms.

She turned around to gaze at me, and I kissed her lips softly before checking to make sure Brandon and Katie weren’t paying attention to us. Meg slipped her arms into her loose t-shirt, and I pushed the cups of her bra down so that her br**sts were loose. I then reached down and pushed down her sweatpants so that they were by her ass. I slipped my finger between her legs and felt a sliver of silk.

“You’re still wearing panties. Tsk tsk.” I quickly pushed them to the side and ran my fingers along her wet slit.

“Greyson,” she moaned and squeezed her legs, trying to stop me.

“Shhh.” I shushed her quietly and ran my fingers back up to her bare breasts, squeezing them gently. I found it strangely erotic to be playing with her while watching a movie and knowing my best friend and his fiancée were on the couch next to us with no idea as to what we were doing.

“Greyson, we can’t.” She shook her head and her hands reached up to stop mine.

“Why not?” I laughed, and we both stared at the screen, feeling turned on as the actress rolled around on the bed, moaning. I reached down, pulled my zipper down, and released my very hard c**k from my pants. “Are you sure you want to say no?” I laughed and rubbed the tip of my c**k against her ass before reaching forward and opening her legs slightly so my c**k could rub against her wetness.

“Greyson,” She froze as the tip of me slowly rubbed against her clit. “Oh.” She sighed and started moving back against me very timidly. I reached my fingers around to the front of her and started rubbing her cl*tfrom the other side. She roughly moved back against me and the tip of my c**k entered her gently. “Oh,” she moaned out loud and we both froze.

“You guys okay?” Katie muttered, but I could see that she wasn’t looking at us.

“Yeah, this movie is just crazy.”

“I know, right? I told you! Just wait for the ending. It’s going to be crazy. You’re going to love it.”

“I’m sure she is.” I laughed as I moved my c**k in and out of Meg while rubbing her cl*twith more intensity. “You’re just waiting for the end, aren’t you, Meg?” I muttered against her ear. “Don’t you just want to ride my c**k hard and fast so that you can come all over me?” I whispered as I increased my movements slightly.

“Greyson,” she moaned, and I closed my eyes.

Her pu**y felt wonderful against me as her walls tightened on me. She was so wet, and I could tell that she was close to coming.

“Don’t you love f**king on the…” I groaned as Meg’s fingers met mine on her cl*tand she increased the pace of my finger movements, moving her h*ps in a circle. “Oh shit.” I bit down hard on her shoulder and couldn’t stop myself from moving a little bit harder as I entered her. We both came about twenty seconds after that. Meg squeezed my fingers as she came hard and I bit down on her shoulder. Our bodies trembled together as we lay there, having just experienced one of the most intense orgasms, and I closed my eyes as I held her close to me.

“What did you guys think? Crazy, right?” Katie’s voice woke me up, and I froze as I realized that my c**k was still nestled next to Meg’s ass and my hands were caressing her na**d breasts.

“Yeah, that was crazy,” I mumbled and shook Meg to wake her up.

“Huh?” Meg sounded sleepy, and I grinned as I felt her hand reach back to hold my cock.

“Katie was just saying how crazy the movie was.”

“Oh.” Meg’s hand froze on my cock, and I could hear the shock in her voice. She must have fallen asleep as well and forgotten where we were.

“That will teach them, right? Imagine sleeping with your son’s fiancée?” Katie sounded shocked. “That’s even worse than sleeping with your best friend’s girl.”

“Let’s go to bed now.” Brandon sounded gruff as he jumped up. “I’m tired. I’m sure we can all dissect the movie in the morning.”

“I guess.” Katie sounded a bit annoyed at having been cut off, but I was glad that they were leaving the room. There was no way that I wanted to have to get my c**k back in my pants and pull up Meg’s bra in front of them. “Night, you two. So glad you’ve come to stay while you look for a place.”

“Thanks for having us,” I said, hoping they would leave soon. I could feel my c**k hardening again and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stop myself from entering Meg’s pu**y as she was rubbing back against me. I watched as Brandon and Katie left the room before I turned Meg around to face me. “What were you just doing? I nearly took you right there and then,” I groaned at her as she pushed her br**sts against my chest.

“Why didn’t you?” She giggled and leaned forward to kiss me.

Her tongue slipped into my mouth and I pulled her towards me. I rolled onto my back, and she positioned herself on top of me. She grabbed ahold of my c**k and was about to guide it into her pu**y when Brandon walked back into the room.

“Uh, sorry.” His voice sounded awkward. “I just came to get a nightcap.”

“Get out of here, Hastings,” I growled, and he laughed.

“Now that reminds me of old times.” He laughed again and hurried out of the room.

I shook my head at his comment. What was I doing? Making love to my girlfriend on my best friend’s couch. I was about to get up when Meg started riding me slowly, and I groaned. I couldn’t stop myself. When I was with Meg, time and place didn’t matter. I just needed to be with her, in her, making her feel as good as she made me feel. I couldn’t stop her and I didn’t want to. Especially not now. Not knowing that this might be one of the last times we ever made love.

Chapter 7

Brandon

“So what’s the plan?” I asked Greyson as we sat in my home office. “Your girlfriend is off looking for Nancy, and by the looks of it, she’ll find her.”

“Don’t you want her to find her?” Greyson looked at me seriously, and I sighed.

“Of course I want her to find her.” I grabbed a bottle of water off the desk and took a swig. “I want to know that she’s okay.”

“She’s a good kid,” Greyson continued. “She was shy, timid… Very different from Maria.”

“I see.” My heart froze as he spoke.

“I don’t think she knows everything.”

“Are you sure?”

“No.” He stood up and walked to the window. “I’m not sure of anything right now.”

“Katie told me that Meg told her that Nancy and David came to the club to get revenge on us for what happened to Maria. They blamed us for Maria’s death.”

“Yeah.” He turned to look at me and nodded. “They did.”

“So are we sure that it’s not them?” I jumped up. “Are we sure that that’s not their motivation?”

“It seems more personal than that.” He shook his head. “Don’t you think?”

“I don’t know how—”

“I don’t trust Patsy,” He said, cutting me off. “I don’t know what she may have done or said.”

“But she loves you. She wouldn’t harm you.”

“I don’t know. Ever since Meg came into my life, she’s been different.” He sighed. “I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s like some switch has been flipped.”

“She always was a bit of a funny one.”

“She always seemed loyal though.” He frowned. “She went crazy when she saw you the other day. I think she thinks you’re bad news.”

“Who can blame her?” I chuckled, though my insides were burning up.

“Yeah, I do wonder if she’s the one sending the letters though. I know she and David are hooking up, so maybe it’s them. David seems like the sort that would leave a bullet on the table as a threat.”

“I don’t understand why she would want to hurt one of us that badly.” I turned around then and walked back to my desk. That was a lie. I knew why she would want to hurt me. I sighed as I thought back to that night so many years ago.

Her in my bed. Her on top of me, f**king me. Her screaming in pleasure as she came. Her turning on the light and seeing my face. I’d been so drunk that I hadn’t cared who I’d been f**king at the time. I’d seen her face though. I’d seen the look of surprise and then resignation. She’d known as well, but she hadn’t cared.

It would have been fine if Greyson hadn’t dumped her a few days later. I don’t think she would have hated me so much. I was pretty sure she thought I was the reason he’d dumped her, but I’d never told him. I mean, there is never a good time to tell your best friend you f**ked his girl, even if the girl wasn’t that special to him.

“I don’t know either,” he sighed. “Maybe seeing me happy with Meg made her realize she’s never going to have me, and then we know why David hates us.”

“Patsy knows the truth though.” I stared at him then with real fear in my eyes. “What if she tells David?”

“I don’t know.” Greyson’s eyes looked bleak, and I could see my worry reflected in his gaze.

“We need to find Nancy. We need to make sure she’s okay.” I ran my hands through my hair and tried to calm my beating heart. “Sorry, you’re going to have to excuse me. I need to go and think.”

“No worries. Oh, and Brandon.” He walked over to me and grabbed ahold of my shoulders. “Don’t worry. It’s going to be okay.”

“You don’t know that, Greyson.” I shook my head. “This isn’t college anymore. We’re grown men. We f**ked up and now our deeds have come back to haunt us.”

“We can’t change the past.”

“I’m sorry that you haven’t been able to tell Meg the truth.” I took a deep breath. “I hate that you’re lying.” I stopped as soon as I heard the footsteps running down the hallway. “Shit.” I ran out of the room and to the bedroom. When I entered, Katie was sitting on the edge of the bed with a red and angry face.

“I’m going to tell Meg!” She burst out as soon as I entered the room.

“Tell Meg what? There’s nothing to tell,” I said slowly, unconvincingly.

“What is Greyson up to, Brandon? What is he hiding from us?” She jumped up and walked over to me with flashing eyes. “Tell me. I need to know. Meg is my best friend. I will not let her get hurt.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” My heart beat fast and I tried to grab ahold of her hands. I flinched as she pulled away from me.

“I heard you, Brandon. I heard you telling him that you hate that he’s lying. If you hate it so much, why don’t you tell us the truth?”

“I can’t do that.” I shook my head. “Not yet.”

“I got a call this morning,” she continued, her voice rising. “A lady named Patsy called me. I had no idea who she was. She said she works at the club. She said that maybe Meg and I would be interested to know more about the relationships you and Greyson had at the club. She said that we don’t know the full truth. She said that there are other people involved. That there are lives at stake. I asked her what she meant. She said ‘Be careful, very careful, because someone’s going to get hurt.’ Then she hung up.” She looked up at me with wide eyes and sat on the bed. “I can’t take this, Brandon. What is going on? I don’t want this guy dating my best friend. He’s a douche.”

“Katie, you need to listen to me.” I took a deep breath. “Greyson used to date Patsy. They used to have sex. For him, it was sex. For her, I guess it was love or infatuation or obsession or whatever you want to call it. He ended it pretty quickly, but when Meg showed up, she started going crazy, doing weird things. She’s trying to hurt Greyson. I think that she knows she can’t go through Meg, so she’s trying to go through you so you can try and break up the relationship.”

“I don’t know.” Katie shook her head. “I think it’s more than that.”

“Katie, there’s something I need to tell you.” I sat down on the bed next to her. “There’s something that happened a long time ago and Greyson and I tried to cover it up. There’s no excuse for our behavior, but we were young and dumb and I don’t think we fully realized what we were doing.” I paused to see Katie’s reaction and took a deep breath. “I don’t want you to hate me.”

“I could never hate you, Brandon.” She took ahold of my hands. “I love you.”

“I just feel like there’s so much I haven’t told you and so much I wish I had told you and now it just all feels like it’s too late. I’ve done so many things to you. Loved you, hated you, treated you terribly… I just don’t want this to be the—”

“Just tell me, Brandon.” Her words were tight, and I closed my eyes.

I was silent for a second as I thought about the past, my life before Katie. My life before love. I’d been a different person, but how could I explain that? How could you explain the transformation from inhumane to humane?

“There was a baby...” I started and took a deep breath. “When we were at the club, a baby was born and—”

“I knew it!” Katie gasped, and my eyes popped open. “Greyson and Patsy had a baby.” She jumped up and ran to the door. “I’m sorry, Brandon, but I need to call Meg. I need her to come home now. She has to know.” She paused at the door. “I think it’s time that we all get everything out in the open. No more lies. If Greyson wants to be with Meg, he needs to tell her the truth.”
