When Lucas knocked on Sanaii's dorm room door,he was greeted by a sour-faced girl with dark rimmed glasses.
"What?" she asked rudely.
Luc gave her his best bored expression
"I'm looking for Sanaii. You're definitely not her." he said raking his eyes over her critically. He knew he hit a soft spot when he heard her take a deep breath.
"Lucas?" Sanaii called quietly from behind her roommate.
"I'm out," said her roommate giving Luc a wide berth as she went through the doorway.
Lucas let himself into the room with something between a smile and a grimace.
"Hi, this is a surprise," she said.
"I haven't seen you around." Luc replied
Sanaii indicated for him to sit in her desk chair. She perched on the edge of her bed one brown leg folded under her.
"I had a cold for a couple of days," she said.
"I'm glad you're feeling better, and glad to know you weren't avoiding me. Uh oh, tell tale lip biting."
Sanaii clenched her hands in her lap, "I confess I was hiding from you, too. I was so embarrassed about what happened that day-."
Lucas threw his head back and slumped in the chair. "Sanaii,relax. It was a hand job. I give myself one everyday. It's not a big deal."
Sanaii took a breath to strengthen her voice, "I know it isn't for you. You're gorgeous and outgoing. You know who you are. You have a million friends. This," she indicated the campus outside her window with a sweeping hand, "is your world. I only have my dancing, and for a little while I had you as my friend."
Lucas leaned forward in his chair and grasped her small hands in his.
"You still do, Sa."
Sanaii looked into her lap.
"Maybe I don't. I really love spending time with you, Luc. You're cute and funny and smart. You challenge me to stand up for myself. You tease me and make me laugh," Sanaii cupped the side of Lucas's face with one hand, "βand it would hurt me too much to feel like none of that really mattered, because you were just doing it to get laid."
He searched her brown eyes and found no duplicity. Lucas swallowed hard as an unfamiliar caused a ghost of conscience pressed heavily on him. Her unconscious insight into his motivations reflected like a mirror, and for the first time he didn't like what he saw.
"Come here, please," said Lucas after a moment. He pulled her into his lap, and she settled into her favorite spot on his shoulder. It felt good to hold her.
"All this week I've missed talking to you, hearing you laugh at my stupid team stories..."
Amused, she huffed against his neck.
He paused uncertainly as he heard himself say what he'd never said to another girl. "I'm attracted to you, but if you don't want sex to be a part of our thing,I guess I can deal. There are plenty of places I can get sex, but you're the one girl I can talk to for over an hour without feeling like I want to blow my brains out."
She laughed and pressed her brow to his.
"I missed you, silly."
"Oh yeah? How about a kiss to make up?"
Lucas whispered and tilted his head. Sanaii licked her lips but pulled back.
"Luc, after everything we just said-"
Lucas leaned closer until his lips brushed hers.
"Hey, if you take on a pussy hound for a buddy, you have to be prepared to toss him a bone every now and again. It's just a kiss, Sa'."
They explored each others lips lightly before Lucas' tongue snaked knowledgably in her mouth. His hands lightly traced the curve of her back. Soon he was hard as a brick. Sanaii wiggled in his lap. Lucas roared and brought a hand down hard against her round ass.
"Ouch!" she shrieked.
"Just because you won't fuck me doesn't me you can be a cock tease." he growled and nipped her earlobe.
"Sorry, that kiss made me forget myself."
"More like remember yourself."
Before she could ask him what he meant, he kissed her again and all was forgotten and forgiven...or so it seemed.

Lucas usually loved to watch his cock sliding in and out of a juicy cunt on her hands and knees, but tonight he closed his eyes, visions of his kitty cat dancing in his head as he rhythmically stroked the pussy of a bounteous red-head he met at the frat party.
"Oh Luc, Oh Luc, yes!... ah ha, give it me baby... oooohhhh!" she screeched as she came tightening pleasantly around his cock.
He anchored his hands on her hips. With a few more hard pumps he exploded into the condom. After he caught his breath, he fell away from her onto his back.
"That was so good, you really are the best." she murmured and placed kisses along his chest.
He found them annoying. Luckily, she stopped and Luc heard her soft snore. He was tired, too. He wanted to follow the post-orgasmic cloud into sleep, but not there, not with her. Luc slowly rose after a moment, discarded his condom, and jumped in the shower of her bathroom.
He walked out of his conquest's room balls empty, and still he wanted to see Sanaii. What was she doing. Was she alone? The thought that she wasn't made him crazy.
Clenching his jaw in frustration, he rubbed the back of his neck as he walked. He had thoroughly lost the plot. This was supposed to be his game. Yet, he was the one getting played. The crafty kitty had painted him into a corner with her sweet smile and innocent eyes. He thought of her constantly. He saw her almost everyday, and when he didn't see her he was calling her like a pussy-whipped moron. No matter who he fucked, it didn't lessen the desire for her. How did everything get so twisted that he was actually not fucking her for the sake of a friendship he never wanted.
"Fuck friendship!" he groused.
Women weren't friends. As a protest, his mind flashed images of his time with Sanaii. He had told her things he'd never told anybody about his mom and his dad. She listened. She never offered pity or lame ass advice. She didn't have one hand on his cock and one hand in his pocket, either. She only ever asked for a bite of his favorite cookie. Even when she had the courage to disagree with him, it was never petty and bitchy. It was thoughtful and honest, like her.
His previously silenced internal defenses kicked in strong attempting to shield him from an emotional downfall.
*Get a grip, Somerfield. This is the same girl that fucked you in a toilet and is now acting like her cunt is a no fly zone because you're a "friend". What, she lets you kiss her sweet and rub her ass from time to time and that's supposed to satisfy you? Don't be an idiot. You're this close to falling in love. *
"No," Lucas said aloud. "Never."
It was time to end this game.

"Everything, ok?" Sanaii asked. Lucas sprawled on her bed with a strange expression on his face as he looked at her. He wiped it away with a smile.
"Come here and keep me company," he said and patted the bed beside him.
Sanaii rolled her eyes in amusement. Her sex-crazed friend was oddly needy in the affection department. He sometimes spent the night curled up beside her fully clothed. Luc was able to ward off the evil Sameera like garlic.
Sanaii slid in next to Lucas on the bed. They kissed softly and customarily he threw his arm across her belly and she rested against his shoulder.
"You're weird today, Lucas," she said after she stifled a yawn.
"Am I?" he said tracing the ghost alphabet on her lean, flat, stomach giving her the chills.
"Talk to me, what's wrong?"
Luc inhaled her strawberry scented hair. She always smelled so good. A part of his heart seized at the thought that this might be the last time he would get to be with her like this, but his baser nature was already responding to the warmth and proximity of her body and the promise of a fuck long denied.
"I'm thinking about going to France to see my mother."
Sanaii nodded her head and touched his cheek as he looked down at her.
"Aren't you going to ask me how I feel about that?" he prompted kissing her nose.
