“That’s why he can’t know,” she said quietly.
“I don’t keep secrets from Jared. Plus, you’re all wrong for him. This whole situation is getting out of hand,” Jeff growled.
“So where does that leave us?” Suzie asked him, shuffling towards him slightly. The smell of him was drawing her in.
He stepped closer to her, the air electrifying around them. He put his hands on her arms, his eyes on her chest; moving his gaze up her bare neck, to her lips, and resting on her eyes. Suzie struggled to touch him and he held her arms tighter, grunting as he held her with his body. A trembled sigh slipped past her lips and she froze.
Pulling her closer he moved to her lips and spoke in a whisper, “I still want you.”
She kissed him and he pulled back tauntingly, still holding her arms. Wriggling, she pressed against him with a moan and breathing her in, he kissed her deep and hard. Tasting his lips fully, she manipulated her trapped hands pressed between their two bodies. She worked at his belt and then touched him through his pants. His jeans stiffening at her touch, she gently rubbed him. With a growl, Jeff moved his hands to her waist, relaxing into her touch. Suddenly Suzie smelled burning and stopped. As she looked toward the smell, Jeff sprang over to the stove.
“Shit. The rice.” He pulled the pot off the stove and opened the window. Then he looked at the clock, swore again and pulled out a new pot and new rice ingredients. Looking over at her he scowled. “You’re trouble. Jared and Laura are going to walk in and I’ll be like ‘Hey supper is not ready yet because I burned the rice. I wasn’t paying attention because Suzie’s hands were on my cock.’”
“Hey.” Suzie wanted to be angry at his outburst but it turned her on and she knew she was in trouble.
Jeff could see the lust in her eyes so he continued, this time teasingly. “Yeah, I will say ‘Thanks for coming Laura. You’re a good distraction from undressing my brother’s girlfriend with my eyes. Every time I look at her I want her naked and on top of me so at least I have something else to look at.’”
Biting her lip she reached out and ran her hands down his naked chest. “You might want to put on a shirt before anyone gets here,” was all she managed to say.
He moved closer and her hands lingered on his stomach. Then she moved them up his chest and touched his bristly face. She pulled him to her and kissed him hard pushing her chest into him. Growling, he grabbed her tightly. This time Suzie stopped him.
“You need to get a shirt. I will make more rice.” Before he protested she pushed him out of the kitchen. When he returned, she was measuring out the rice and he wrapped his arms around her, cupping her breasts.
“If I am near you, I am going to touch you,” he said as he kissed her neck from behind.
Setting the timer for the rice she turned to face him. “We have to stay away from each other,” she said but did not move.
“Okay that’s fine when this job is done and I leave here, but right now I want you. Are you going to get out of here or should I?” he asked her directly.
“I will leave. I have to find somewhere else to live. I have to get away from you two.” She spoke softly and got right in his face, her lips grazing his. “Until then I will try to keep my hands off you.”
When she didn’t move he put his hands on her and kissed her again. “The problem is,” he said, breathing deeply. “I want your hands on me. And if I tell Jared, then I get what I want.”
“YOU will NOT tell him or I will never speak to you again.” She shuddered at the thought and punched his chest.
“That is not fair,” Jeff said and he quietly backed away and went back to his cooking. She could tell he was angry and she didn’t know what to do.
“Sorry” she said. And he looked at her for a long while. She stood there for another minute before leaving the room, retreating to regroup.
When the knock came on the door a few minutes later, Suzie was oddly relieved it was Laura alone.
“I thought you were coming with Jared,” Suzie said.
“Change of plan. Jared got held up with something and I was ready to go. So I figured I would keep you company. I haven’t seen much of you lately so we can have some girl time, though I guess Jeff will be home soon.” Laura winked.
“He is already here. He is making supper actually,” Suzie said, trying to keep her face neutral.
It did not matter though because Laura was out of her seat mumbling something about getting those drinks and headed into the kitchen. Suzie took a moment to compose herself. What the heck was she doing here? She could hear Laura flirt with Jeff in the kitchen and she seethed with anger, forcing herself to stay in the living room and do nothing. While she sat frozen with uncertainty, Jared arrived home. Mechanically she got up and kissed him on the cheek. He asked her to take the food to the kitchen so she did. She had to step between Laura and Jeff to put the food in the fridge. As she closed the door Jeff squeezed her bum, she whirled around to give him a look but his eyes were on her chest. Then just as quickly he was back to serving up supper, he was not going to make this easy on her.
“Why don’t you girls go set the table and open the wine and I will bring everything in when it’s ready.” Jeff smiled at them.
Jared walked into the kitchen and slapped Jeff on the back. “This smells awesome Jeff, I have missed your cooking. And now we can bring take out for lunch tomorrow. Score!”
“I know right. Now let’s go dine with those gorgeous women,” Jeff said.
“We’re ready,” both girls said in unison.
Jeff and Jared brought the food in and it was delicious. They all talked and ate and after the second glass of wine Suzie began to forget the weirdness. Then Jared kissed her neck. She looked at Jeff and he locked eyes with her. Laura was talking to him and put her hand on his thigh to get his attention. Suzie got frustrated and brushed Jared off standing up suddenly.
