Something happened. I still don't know how I feel about it.
I had the day off and for once had nothing planned. I was just lounging about. My fiancé Ethan was at work. He had a long day ahead of him. He texted me in the morning that one of his mates would come around at about lunch time to pick up a game Ethan had borrowed a few weeks ago. No big deal. It meant I needed to put pants on instead of hanging out in my underwear, but didn't really impact my plans.
Lunch time rolls around and Noah rocks up. Now, Noah would have to be the hottest of all of Ethan's friends. I would be lying if I hadn't wondered what he's hiding under his clothes. But I'm head over heels for Ethan, and I'm very much all about the whole monogamy thing. So when I opened the door to Noah's insanely perfect grin, one arm casually resting against the doorframe, I got this little flip in my belly, then I let him in so he could grab his game and get out, and leave me in peace to finish bingeing my series on Netflix.
Being my polite self, I offered him a drink. I wasn't really expecting him to stay but he jumped on my offer. Said he'd love a cuppa. Said he knew where it all was and started helping himself. And started making one for me too. 'How gentlemanly of him' I thought... what an idiot.
We sat on the couch and got to talking. We started on the usual social niceties. "Is the family well?" and "How was your weekend?". He'd spent his training for an upcoming fun run. Ethan was on his team and had been training as well, but not as much. He got up off the couch to proudly show off his quads, hiking his shorts up slightly. I think I probably stared for longer than is considered polite. His muscles were well defined, but not to the point of being veiny. Just the way I like it. I told him he definitely had more mass than Ethan, to which he responded by taking off his shirt. It occurred to me that most people probably wouldn't just start undressing in front of their mate's fiancé. Don't get me wrong, I drooled. But at this point I did wonder what the hell Noah was thinking. He did a few 'strong man' poses to show off his gains, and I laughed courteously.
It was 29 degrees that day though, so when Noah sat back on the couch without putting his shirt back on, I put it down to the heat. How fucking Naïve could I be?
After he flopped back onto the other couch, shirtless, he enquired about my weekend. Like some stupefied little girl, I fumbled with my words, too distracted by Noah's abs and perfectly smooth pecs. Eventually I managed to form a somewhat coherent sentence along the lines of "not much" "saw Ethan's parents" and "did a bit of writing". I'm pretty sure I blushed. You all know what my 'writing' is like, right? I'm certain I turned a nice bright pink, thinking of the story I had been working on and how well Noah's body would fit into one of my 'scenarios'.
I thought he must've picked up on my embarrassment. I know he did.
"What's got you all hot under the collar now Chelsea?" he teased me.
"What do you mean?" I feigned ignorance.
Leaning forward and staring at me with his stupid, gorgeous, cocky grin: "You've gone all shy-girl on me"
And my heart jolted a bit. 'I've been found out!' I thought... but there was no way. I reassured myself I was being paranoid.
"Have I freaked you out somehow? Shy girl?" he emphasized the words that made up my username.
No fucking way that was a coincidence, I thought. He absolutely knows my username, has read my stories... and yet even as he rose from his couch to come and sit next to me on mine, I kidded myself that I had imagined the emphasized words and meaningful stares. My mouth felt dry.
"What are you on about?" I tried to laugh it off, tried to blame it on the heat of the day: "You're too hot for me to think straight."
I instantly realized what I had said, and tried to eat my words: "ITS too hot!! ITS too hot!! Jesus!" and Noah was basically pissing himself laughing.
"You mean you don't want to get down on your knees to worship this magnificent body?" sarcasm dripped of Noah as he teased me. He ran a hand over his chest and down his stomach, and down further, and dramatically grabbed his junk with an "umph" noise. It was damn hot...
"No you jerk! Ethan would beat your arse!" I joked, and shoved him in what I hoped came across in a playful manner. I shuffled a bit further along the couch, trying to put a bit of distance between us. My underwear felt damp when I moved.
"Only if he finds out" Noah countered slyly as he slid closer again, closing the gap I had created between us. His voice was low now.
Tring to rise from the couch, I itched to reclaim my personal space. Noah was way too hot and way too flirtatious to be so close to me, especially when it would be at least 6 hours until Ethan got home. But Noah caught my hand.
"I need to go to the toilet" I lied, trying to pull away. Noah only tightened his grip.
"No you don't" he stated simply. I blinked at him. I'd never been in such a situation before. Anxiously, I remembered that he'd essentially called me out on my secret writing hobby. I wondered again If it could possibly have been a coincidence.
Then things started to get real.
"Now," Noah started, slowly standing up. My hand was still securely wrapped in his. He was a good foot taller than me so I had to look up to his face. "lets drop the façade Chels. I know you're a kinky slut." My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. And he went on "I know the depravities of your mind. And I see you looking at my body. I'm going to give you what you want."
He used his free hand to brush my hair back over my shoulder. It was so gentle, but I had never felt so intimidated. I tried to jump back but he still had a grip on my hand.
"What the fuck Noah?! I love Ethan! He gives me what I want! Let me go!" I demanded. I tried using my other hand to yank the first one free of his grasp, but he was just too strong. He simply stood there, smiling calmly and sinisterly.
"Ethan's the one who showed us your account Chels! How else do you think I would have found it?"
Us? Who is 'us', I thought. I knew Ethan loved reading my stories. I had no clue he shared my creations with anyone though. That's the whole point of having an unrelated username, so I can enjoy the anonymity! I plotted to rip him a new one when he got home.
"What?! Whatever! Let me go Noah! The fuck?!"
I wrenched my hand free. It stung and felt bruised from the force Noah had used. I immediately backed up several paces, and defensively lowered a shoulder, just in case he tried to come any closer I could put my whole weight behind an attempt to break through. Like a cornered animal. I tried to rub the sting out of my wrist.
Noah stood up straight and ran a hand through his hair, and I felt myself blush again. He really was hot.
"Get out" I told him. He raised his eyebrows at me. "Get out!" I repeated.
"Chels, I'll leave right now if you can look me in the eye and tell me you're not a perverted whore who wants me to sodomise you by force right now?"
I wondered how the fuck he could string such a sentence together with such a straight face...
"Noah, what I write is completely different to real life! Get out of my house!"
"Maybe, but that wasn't what I asked now was it?"
Smug bastard. I rolled my eyes. "I'm not a perverted whore and I don't want you to sodomise me!"
"Don't look at the ceiling like a coward. I told you to look me in the eye."
What fucking game is he playing now? I wondered. I glared at him, direct eye contact. God he was tall.
"I'm not." I managed.
"Well then what are you Chels?"
"What are you playing at Noah? Get out of my house. Ethan's gunna fuck you up when he gets home!"
"What am I playing at? You're a very attractive lady Chels. I want to fuck your mouth. If you're the sort of person Ethan tells us you are, then you'll enjoy it as much as I will."
I wondered if he was telling the truth about what Ethan had told the 'us' Noah Mentioned. Maybe Ethan had shown my writing to the group of boys...
