Carl

There was something different about Melanie and I had a feeling I was in trouble. She had mischief in her eyes and that could mean only one thing, it meant that she was going to make it hard on me. I went back and forth with the guilt of screwing over my best friend and the reality of how badly I wanted his sister.

When I saw her standing at the entrance to the kitchen, I knew that I was going to give in to one side before I worried about the other. She was gorgeous. Her body was out in the open and for once I could see most of her soft curves and they were calling to me. I was already so hard that it hurt and now I was literally pulsing in my pants.

Her smile was crooked and her head was tipped to one side. She knew what she was doing and she knew that I wasn’t going to be able to tell her no. I didn’t want to and I was sure that even if could muster up the brain power to deny her, I wasn’t going to be able to say it out loud. There was no going back now. There was going to be no limits or red lines to not cross.

“Did you pour me a drink?”

I nodded that I had and held it out. I watched her walk to me slowly, her hips going from one side to the other in a way that made it hard to look away. It was hypnotizing and she smiled at me like she knew what I was thinking when she took it out of my hand.

“Do you want to watch a movie or something Carl?”

Shaking my head, I told her that I didn’t want to. There was nothing on the television that was going to get my attention off of her and those shorts that I swear could be underwear. They were so thin and formed to every single little inch of her body that they covered that they might as well have not been there.

“No, I don’t think I’m much in the mood for a movie Mel.”

She smiled at me and I could tell that she knew she was winning. If there was a contest to see who was going to control it, Melanie was winning in spades and she damn well knew it.

“What are you in the mood for Carl? Do you want to help take my mind off of everything going on?”

“Is that the reason why you want me tonight?”

“No, not at all. I’ve wanted you for a long time, but tonight I have to have you. Like I said before, even if it’s just you holding me, I would feel better if I was in your arms. It’s the only time today that I was able to forget about everything. I just found out about dad and I’m just asking you to help take it away for a little while.”

She was standing there with an expression that said she was worried about what was going to happen next.

“Let’s go lay down. Sleep has a way of helping a person forget everything.”

As I said the words, sleep was the last thing on my mind. I knew before we left the hospital that I wasn’t going to stay as a friend. She wanted some quiet in her mind and I knew the perfect way to make her forget everything. It was a surefire way that I’d used time and time again, so I know that it would work. It always had before and when me and Melanie touched, it was nothing short of electric.

I followed her back to the bedroom that we’d used before when I’d taken her home. It was much different this time around and it was Melanie that was nervous. Calm had come over me. It was the calm that I got from making a decision and knowing that I was just going to have to ride it out.

Melanie was shaking as I touched her arm and I could see goosebumps that were spreading across her milky flesh. I’d never wanted a woman as badly as I wanted her and I knew once we got upstairs, everything was going to change. We were almost there and I stopped her in the hallway and turned her towards me for a kiss. I needed reassurances that she knew what was going on and wanted to continue.

Her lips yielded to mine without a thought. She had wrapped her arms around me and pressed her body up tight against my chest before I could stop her, if I’d even wanted to.

“Are you sure all you want to do is lay down Melanie? Do you really need a friend right now?”

Melanie bit her lip and looked up at me. “No, I don’t need another friend Carl. I need something more than that.”

It was like music to my ears and to hell with all of the rest of it, I was going to give her what she really needed. She needed to forget it all and I knew that I wanted the same thing just as much.

I picked her up and cradled her into my arms. She felt light and warm against my body. Melanie was right, she felt damn good in my arms. I kissed her again before I laid her back down on the bed. Melanie looked up at me as I turned around to shut the light off.

Darkness plunged into the room and it took a minute before I could see her staring up at me. Her green eyes glistened and I lay down with her, covering her with my body as I pinned her down and started to kiss her lips again.

I was going to make sure that she forgot everything. I was always a man that stuck to my word. Too bad that Melanie was unforgettable and as I undressed her, I realized that I was the one that was in over my head.
