Author's Note: This is a direct continuation of 'Tales of Promiscuity'. When I started writing this, I thought it would be one and done, but I just couldn't stop writing. I'll upload the rest in parts as I complete my editing process.
In addition, these stories are my first real attempt at writing any sort of erotica. If you have any comments or critiques, I would be glad to hear them.
Happy reading!

We were good.
After our conversation, everything went back to normal. The regular hangouts in his room declined, unless his roommate was there. We finished out the school year, with no further incidents.
Over the summer, we kept in contact, mostly keeping it to casual gaming on steam, or a group chat about what we need to bring to our new house off campus. I personally got a little wild, hitting up some old friends to hook up, while I was home, but nothing worth retelling.
I told myself, I have options, and the distance will have likely helped things cool down. I don't have to put myself in a compromising position, nor do I need to be a temptation to someone I considered a friend.
I was so wrong. The minute we were moved in and settled, I could tell that things were going to be tense. Turns out Alex had told his girlfriend what happened, but she forgave him, and gave him "rules" he had to follow while living with me. Honestly, they were reasonable. No drinking alone together, no hanging out in his room. Things I shouldn't be doing anyway. Correction, things we shouldn't be doing anyway.
The first weekend that we had moved in, the roommates and I decided to celebrate with the cheapest beer money could buy. A few other friends from campus showed up with more beer and we were ready to party. We played kings, watched terrible movies and drank until the beer was gone.
My friend, Sean, was newly single, and began expressing interest in me almost immediately. He was cute, and in his new singlehood, had decided to try growing out his beard. It was really doing it for me.
We flirted almost the whole night as we drank, and Alex was pushed, at least temporarily, out of the forefront of my mind.
Unfortunately, I just couldn't bring myself to seal the deal and Sean left at the end of the night with his other roommates to make the short walk back to his house on campus.
Feeling buzzed, and a little frustrated, I decided I should just drink some water and sober up before bed. I sat down on the couch, on the opposite end from Alex.
"Where'd Kyle go?" I asked, looking from the kitchen to the living room. Kyle was one of the roommates living with us, and was a self-proclaimed night owl.
"I guess he wanted to play some video games before bed" Alex shrugged, seeming unconcerned. I turned my eyes towards the tv, almost hyper-aware that we were already breaking the rules his girlfriend had set down, only a few days into living together. Oops.
I felt like I could cut the tension with a knife. My bedroom was just upstairs, I should just go to bed. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. Instead, I focused on the movie, which was a bit of a mistake. Low budget horror can really get away with a lot more nudity than the box office hits. I always figured it was a way to get more interest, without needing to have any actual substance. And it hooked my interest. The woman moaning on screen wouldn't have normally phased me, but being so close to Alex, and flirting so aggressively with Sean, had really put me in a mood.
I shifted a little, feeling my shorts riding up as I curled into a ball against the arm rest. My whole leg was basically exposed, with just a few, small, tight pieces of fabric covering my groin. I felt Alex's eyes on me, ignoring the now naked, bloody woman on screen. Guess the slasher got to her.
To give myself an excuse to get up and away from the couch, I finished the rest of my water.
"I'm going to grab another water, you want one?" I asked, already standing up.
He nodded, never taking his eyes off me. I could feel him watching me as I walked to the adjacent kitchen and filled up my glass. I grabbed another for him and filled it up as well. I brought them both back, setting mine on the worn coffee table we had trash picked earlier that day. I handed Alex his, feeling his fingers brush against mine. I bit my lip, wondering if we should address the tension in the room. Instead, I sat on the couch, closer to him. Our legs touched on the couch, and I felt the rough denim of his jeans on my bare leg.
I could see the conflict on his face. We shouldn't be sitting this close, we shouldn't be touching and we definitely shouldn't be drunk together. Our eyes were now firmly set on the movie, but I had no interest, I was just putting on a show of paying attention.
Almost on queue, we turned to each other, and he reached his hand over, cupping my face and pulling me roughly in to kiss me. I fell into him immediately, no more thoughts of going up to bed. I kissed him back, fiercely, all my want and frustration apparent. I could feel his facial hair, a few days grown, against my face. His lips were soft in contrast. After a moment, he broke away, pulling back.
" So were you just flirting with Sean to get to me?" He rasped, his breathing accelerated.
I shook my head, "No. But, we said we can't do this again." I paused.
"Are you... jealous?" I cocked my head, awaiting his answer.
"Well, yeah. Look at you. You're just - wearing those shorts and..." He trailed off.
"You mean, my clothes? That I always wear?" I raised an eyebrow. I wasn't wearing anything out of the norm, just jean shorts and a tank top. Granted, it was close to the same outfit I'd worn when we last hooked up, but I really hadn't been trying to insinuate anything by it. It's just what I wear in the summer.
"Yeah. And you weren't subtle with your flirting with him" Alex still had his hand on my face, his thumb now caressing my cheek. His tone was accusatory. I had made him jealous, though it wasn't my intention.
"No. I know. But I'm free to sleep with whomever I want", I was defending myself to him. I felt a little indignant. He had no claim over me, no right to tell me who I could or couldn't flirt with. Or sleep with, for that matter.
"So you do want to fuck him?" He moved his face closer, but this time, instead of kissing me, he leaned in towards my neck, nuzzling it. I leaned my head back, granting him easier access to it. He was kissing, licking and softly biting my neck in turn. I was losing my composure.
"Well, yeah. I can be attracted to more than one person at once," I almost whispered, my voice breathy in my desire. His soft bites along my neck and collarbone became harder, almost as if he was trying to lay claim. My hands drifted up, winding into his hair, pulling him closer.
"So, why didn't you?" he asked, his breath warm against my neck.
"I wanted to. He just... left before we could, I guess." Always a gentleman, Sean told me he didn't want to take advantage, even though we were both drunk. As much as I didn't like the answer, I wouldn't throw myself at him.
"His loss", Alex growled, kissing me again. One of his hands, previously on my hip, was now moving up towards my breasts. I moaned as his hand brushed against one, then cupped it, his thumb searching for my nipple underneath my clothes. Grunting in displeasure as being unable to feel it, he pushed the straps of my bra and tank top to the side, and down, exposing my breast.
His hand returned to my now exposed breast and he began running his thumb over my hardening nipple. I moaned into our kiss and he tightened his grip, both in my hair and on my chest.
From upstairs, we heard Kyle swearing at his game. The sudden interruption surprised us into breaking apart. Quickly, I fixed my shirt and bra, while he adjusted the erection now straining against his jeans. He glanced over to his bedroom, just off the living room. It was once a dining room, but had been repurposed into a first floor bedroom.
"Let's take this to my room" he grabbed my hand, pulling me up off the couch and towards his room. I could have said no, and taken the stairs up to my room, but I was too far gone. I needed him. I followed him into his room.
