Stephanie couldn't stop thinking about that night. She tried to tell herself it was just because of the trauma, the fear, but sometimes late a night the thoughts would come to her again and she'd find a hand sliding under her waistband.
She avoided Matt but that wasn't anything new. She asks Luke again to stop inviting him. It works for a while, longer than it has before. But of course Matt is his "best friend" so he ends up at their house again.
It was a surprise. Stephanie didn't know how to act. She tried to control her expression and ignore the grin that he sent her. Tonight was a much smaller get together, with only a few other friends. And a lot of alcohol.
A lot.
She ignores the feeling it gives her.
She also ignores the way he looks at her when he thinks she won't notice, how his eyes wander. No one else notices because it isn't too different to how he would look at her before.
It makes her want to squirm. With him here she can't stop thinking about that night. It hasn't been long enough to know if the after pill worked or not.
Emily goaded her into drinking more than she planned to with Matt around. Mainly, because Luke was constantly challenging her and she didn't want to get shitfaced alone.
Stephanie stopped when the world started to go a bit fuzzy. Well, she tried. Then she would see Matt and reach for another one. It was an effort to convince herself she was doing it to forget, to have a good time.
When she really had stopped the world was spinning and she was leaning against Emily, both of them giggling like idiots. Luke was on her other side trying to pass them another drink. Emily accepted but Stephanie controlled herself. Matt had stolen Taylor's chair and was much closer to her now. She had been extremely aware of him all night. Which was normal, considering everything, but made it hard to keep still.
Emily offers her a sip and she takes one. She doesn't really think about it. It's Emily. She does think about the can that appears in her peripheral. Facing scrunching in confusion she turns. Matt's standing now and holding it out to her. It's one of the ones with a lot of alcohol. The idea does funny things to her stomach.
"C'mon," he wiggles the can, "Consider it a piece offering." She hesitates. Emily "awws" and drapes herself over Stephanie.
"Take it just this once. You've been so nice to each other recently!" She says.
"Because I've been ignoring him," Stephanie mutters but grabs the can. She doesn't look at Matt and ignores the swoop in her stomach. He sits back down without comment.
Stephanie refocuses her attention on Emily and slowly finishes her drink. Despite her previous self-control, she accepts two more drinks. Another one from Matt and one from Emily. She's halfway through it when she realises Matt gave it to Luke, who gave it to Emily, who gave it to her.
She finishes it anyway.
She's less drunk than the first time. She thinks. She must be because the others seem to think she can manage the stairs by herself. Or maybe Luke just doesn't offer Matt this time.
Either way she stumbles to her bedroom alone.
She's hot. She's really fucking hot so she strips. Doesn't think about Matt. She doesn't. Really. It's a good thing he didn't carry her to her room. She doesn't want it to happen again. It was really fucked up.
She falls face first onto her bed and tugs the covers over her a little, still too hot. She decides to just go to sleep and forget the night. If part of her is listening for a creaking door...well she's not going to have to admit it to anybody.
------------
A slap to her ass wakes her up.
"-wet before I even fucking touched you," another slap, "Bet your subconscious was remembering the last time I was over," she could feel his cock start nudging at her entrance, "and you drank so much anyway," the feel of his cock forcing its way inside her again is equal parts thrilling and terrifying, "You fucking," slap "little" slap "slut". Her body jolts with the last slap and she can't help the small cry that escapes her. He freezes for a second before pushing her hips into the mattress and beginning to fuck into her before saying very clearly, "Just like that, babe,"
"Matt?" Her voice comes out strangled.
"Yeah, baby, I knew you'd like that," he keeps fucking her like nothing's wrong, "I knew you'd say yes to me eventually."
