They had known each other for some time, but throughout the majority of that time, things had mostly stayed platonic. She was captivating, of course, with her slender build, her long, toned legs, and an ass that was so perfect, it could make empires fall.
But she belonged to another man. More damning was that this man was like a brother to him. It's also no exaggeration that he owed him his life, as he had, in no uncertain terms, been saved by the man.
So platonic they remained, in spite of the fact she was his image of perfection. She was a rose he could never pluck, a drink from which his lips could never savor the taste of. Until things began to take a different turn. Things between she and her man changed. It wasn't sudden, nor abrupt, but it was noticeable, and perhaps worse in the fact that it was so protracted.
But this was never an opportunity to him. Like I said, he thought greatly of the man. But over the years he would inevitably see her differently. Until the time came where, he couldn't help but see the two as being equal to his eyes. He was stuck. The future the man made possible for him to see, and the potential future he could see with her. There was no possible way to decide between the two.
The two had, at one time in the past, toyed with the idea of playing with each other, of satisfying urges and sating curiosity. But in the end, all the idea had remained was a tease. As time went on, and they had both nearly forgotten the one conversation they had had, he started to remember. The impetus started when one day, she showed up to where he worked and she visited him. They talked and joked like they always had, but there was something else this time. An unspoken atmosphere that he suspects they both recognized, but ignored in case the other couldn't see it.
It was an attraction. He felt her interest, as he's now sure she felt his. But for all the years they had known each other, could he have been mistaken? She had been dealing with a lot of stress, both in her daily life and on the home front. So he was sure it was just vague intrigue at best, right?
Some time went by, his thoughts relatively organized but still rather jumbled, when he went to visit her this time. This was where things took a turn he never expected them to take. She was at home on her own, her man was absent, so it turned into just the two of them there in the end.
The opportunity to confirm his suspicions was this one time and one time alone, and it might be lost if he didn't take it, so he did just that and opened up. As she was seated watching TV so alluringly, her legs crossed on the seat, her back arched, pushing her ass out for full appreciation, he asked something that had been bothering him, "Myra, has Derek been worrying about us, you know, being together alone?"
The atmosphere tensed noticeably as the question left his lips. "No, why would he be?" She replied, her voice strained as her thoughts began to turn.
"I'm honestly not sure, it's just something I've been feeling, I just hoped to know if he was," he told her.
He had always been rather sensitive to the way people around him felt, usually about himself, but about other things too. He can't quite explain it, but the other person's emotions flow into his to the degree that it often becomes hard to differentiate between their emotions, and his own. This is part of why he was so confused about the impression he had from Myra's visit to his workplace the other day. It could have just been his own attraction to her, but it didn't feel like it because he had already been aware of where he stood towards her. This felt different.
"I'm sure it's just your imagination Wren, there's nothing between us anyway." Though she was correct, he felt something hidden in her answer, a misted enquiry. One he wasn't fully sure was even there, so he played his cards safely, or so he thought. "Yeah, I guess you're right; there's probably nothing," he pauses a moment, watching her reaction, thinking about all the thoughts he had been organizing, the suspicions he held but didn't dare voice; before suddenly, he voiced them.
"Can I say something that might be rather, bold?" he asks before he even realized he had. She freezes, taking a breath before answering, "sure..." he regathers his thoughts, aware of her anticipation building. Seeing this, he decides to just go all-in and tell her, "there's nothing between us, sure, but what if there was?"
She thinks a moment before asking, "... What do you mean?"
He thinks about how best to explain, before taking a deep breath and letting a sigh escape his lips, "Myra, you know how I feel about Derek, I owe him everything... Because of this, I can't get between the two of you, but..." he wets his lips, the pace of his heart quickening rapidly, "... but, the way I feel about you is in no way inferior... I'm torn between two equally powerful sets of emotions, logic just can't help me decide between them, it's impossible for it to." And it was, he had thought the same before, but the future Derek had given him, and the potential future with Myra? How could he possibly choose one over the other? But what if she also desired a future with him? If she wished to see what could be? That would change things. So he made his position known, "I'll tell you this, if you wish for it, I will take you. I'll take you, and all the responsibility that making you mine would entail." He gulped, his heart beating faster than he believed it ever had before, as he awaited her response.
"I don't, know what to say... I'm honestly speechless," she hesitated, her slender throat; perfectly able to fit within his enclosed fingers, giving way to her face melting into subdued desire; displayed her pulse visibly, in no way slower than his own. "I need think about it..."
He told her. The fact he wanted her, the reason he couldn't just take her right then and there, but also what would happen if he did. He actually admitted his interest. He didn't believe she was fully prepared for it, lord knows he wasn't. But she wasn't opposed. She had her own, hidden desires, built up since he doesn't know when, but she couldn't jump on them so easily, just as he couldn't on his, on her.
But that didn't mean they couldn't talk about it, give each other a tease for what they each wanted. "I will admit I've thought about it before though," she told him after a slight pause. "I've wondered from time to time, just what it would be like."
"I can say the same," he admitted. "Honestly? I can't tell you how many times I've imagined my dick sliding in and out of you as you gasp for air, barely able to hold on as you're overwhelmed by pleasure."
"Tell me more..."
They both seeped into desire as he described his fantasy to her. "Your knees hooked on my elbows, your back against the wall, your nails running down my back and through my hair, in time with every thrust," he sees her shift in her seat.
