All We Are
Chapter 1
Adam laid half on top of Fiona on her couch as they kissed, one of his hands tunneled under her shirt and gently caressing the soft skin at her stomach. She moaned against his mouth, arching toward him slightly as her hand reached for his belt buckle.
He didn't seem to notice what she was doing until she had opened his belt. When her fingers dipped into the waistband of his jeans, he ripped his mouth from hers and quickly moved to the other side of the couch.
"Adam?" she asked, sitting up slightly, watching him redo his belt with shaky hands.
He shook his head quickly. "Don't worry about it. It's nothing."
"Oh. Adam, it's nothing to be embarrassed about."
His eyes widened slightly as he looked at her. "What…"
"A lot of guys have trouble… rising to the occasion." She put her hand on his arm. "It's ok," she told him earnestly. "I'll help you with it." She leaned in to kiss him again, he quickly moved off the couch and nearly pitched them both to the floor.
"What's wrong with you?"
He closed his eyes, running one hand through his hair. "I'm sorry. I just can't right now." He kissed her quickly then grabbed his jacket before quickly walking out of her apartment.
Once in the hallway, he fished his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number, his hands still shaking. He leaned against the wall, closing his eyes as it rang. "Hey, Eli, can you meet me at The Dot?" He groaned at his friend's response. "I don't care what you doing with Clare, man! I need to talk to you. It's serious."
As Eli spoke he took a deep breath, calming himself down. After a moment, Eli agreed to meet him. "Alright, thanks. In an hour? Yeah, I'll see you there." He flipped his cell phone shut and looked back at the closed door of his girlfriend's apartment before walking away slowly.
