I rubbed my eyes lazily as I walked out of the bedroom in need of water to quench my parched throat.
It was Sunday. Lazy Sunday!
As I came to the living room, I saw Aiden was not on the couch. I looked around. He had definitely not fallen on the floor. I looked in the kitchen.
My heart started beating a little louder. Panic rose, my thirst forgotten. I knocked on Mrs. D's door. When after 5 seconds she didn't answer, I turned the knob and it opened with no resistance.
The room was empty. And my mind couldn't keep up with the million questions. Was this all a dream? Was I not in a relationship with my best friend? Was my best friend just a sweet, regular guy and not a sadist? Was my mind playing a big trick, pulling a real number on me?
In my state of sub consciousness, the sound of the latch being undone cut through the idle air. I got my mind back. A sweaty, musky Aiden in nothing more than a over washed tank top and a pair of shorts looked at me, breathing with effort.
"Good Morning." He said in a rush.
"Where were you?" I asked, my tone reflecting my fears and then some.
"I was sleepless. I went for a jog. What's wrong?"
He dropped the keys on the bowl besides the small shelf and sauntered towards me. Was he seducing me?
"What's wrong?" he asked, cupping my face in his hands, forcing me to convey through my eyes everything I was feeling.
I didn't like being exposed like this. He was the cause of my anxiousness! And for some reason I didn't want him to know that. My fear was of losing him... he mustn't know this...
"I just woke up to am empty house. So, I just got scared." I forced a grin.
"Ok. Well, Mom had to work. Hospitals don't rest on Sundays. So its just you and I."
He smiled sweetly and then started stripping.
"And you are joining me in the shower."
His smug smile was charming but my mind raced. I fought my thoughts and almost lost them as Aiden's chest was revealed, glistening with sweat. Next was his shorts, which took nothing more than a tug to fall down. He was wearing nothing underneath. Here he was stark naked and me still in my clothes.
He stood unashamed of his body in front of me. Of course, he had no reason not to be comfortable. My best friend naked... shy guy wasn't he?
"Do you need me to undress you?"
His voice was heavy now, and I pried my eyes away from his cock, which I hadn't realised I had been staring at.
"No. You can use the shower first. I can make us some coffee and sandwich in the meanwhile."
The sentence was meant to be assertive. In a dominating tone. A tone of reason. But to my ears, it sounded a weak, very weak negotiation. A losing argument. And if I felt that, there was no reason he wouldn't feel it too.
"Really?" his sarcastic question was loaded with the dominance my assertion had lacked. And with a short lived look of primal want in his face, I started taking off my clothes.
We were naked in his living room where I had memories of little games we played when we were kids. Oh god! Who would have thought that so many years later, same spot, there would be a completely new game.
"Sore?" he asked as he ran a finger along the length of my arm. My mind raced as I nodded my head in a 'no.'
"Looks like I have to work harder then."
He winked!
Holy shit! Aiden had never winked in his entire life! What the fuck! Was everything he did felt sexy or was it just me?
He came close and in anticipation of a kiss, I closed my eyes.
Instead he whispered, "Go to the bathroom. Start the shower. I will join you in a moment."
Thankful that he had told me to move, I willed myself to not stand still anymore and learned to walk again as I walked naked through the house and did as he asked.
After a minute under the shower alone, I had regained myself fully. I had so many questions and I wanted to talk to Aiden so badly about everything. I also needed time to adjust to the fact that I feared losing Aiden. And yet somehow-
Aiden dropped our clothes in the basket next to the shower. Joining me, unabashedly, he grabbed me by the waist. His grin which seemed to be growing, was getting to me as he asked.
"How are you?"
The tryst of last night, of a shirtless Aiden undressing me, blindfolding me, gagging me, forcing me not to come, came to my mind. I clenched. I also gasped.
"Is there anything you didn't like?" he asked reading me like a open novel. My face, eyes were no more under my control I guessed.
"Gag!" I said almost breathless, almost fearing that he would gag me right then.
He chuckled.
"I think you loved the gag!" he whispered.
Oh! Did I? Oh no! I did. Somehow the gag had me scared and aroused.
"Why were you scared this morning?"
He asked on a little serious note.
"I was just- Um - it was. I just woke up, I don't know I got scared."
"Hmm." He left me to grab the soap from the nearby shelf.
He started soaping his hands and then gently soaped my shoulder. Almost massaging it.
"Amy, what is it that you are not telling me?" he asked as he ventured lower massaging and kneading my breasts as he went lower.
I moaned. Did I want Aiden to know that I had a fear? An insecurity.
"I- I - I have a question." I got it out somehow.
"Yes." He asked.
"Why did you do that?"
