Joe

("Play" by Maurice Moore)

After putting my bag and jacket in the spare bedroom, I made my way back down the hallway to the kitchen. I couldn't help but chuckle at Lyn once again being shy and nervous around me. It honestly was cute on her, just like those cute shorts loosely hugging her sexy round ass.

If there ever was a time I appreciated pajama sets, it was now. Drifting my eyes up and down on her outfit as she took a drink from a bottle, I couldn't help but enjoy the view.

"Got another one?" I asked with a smirk, getting her attention.

Seeing the surprised look in her eyes somehow made those brown orbs sparkle. Curly burgundy hair bounced just right, moving her side bangs slightly over the left side of her face. I had to grip the counter just to keep from moving them away from the beautiful brown eyes I could never get out of my mind.

"Oh….. yeah," She said turning to the fridge again.

As she bent over to get it, I nearly bit my bottom lip off seeing her shorts slowly raise up, but not too much. Licking my lips, I couldn't shake the feeling that she was intentionally teasing me.

"Thanks Lyn" I replied, smirking at her.

I could already see the shiver throughout her body at the sound of my voice,

'If only she knew what her voice did to me' I thought,

Yes, I was still married but after everything that happened the last time I was at home was an eye opener. The fact that my wife couldn't be trusted ran through my mind constantly. She could be doing anything in the house, with our 6 year old daughter not 10 feet away from her!

Just as I had the feeling of tearing my hair out, I saw her smile at me. A simple warm smile, from a beautiful understanding woman could make a man fall to his knees. And Lyn had me nearly there; she was honestly my rock in this storm. She never judged me no matter how angry I was with Janice or my job. She was still there.

Whenever I would talk or message Lyn, I would feel the warmth that Janice was suppose to give me. The comfort a husband needed from his wife, the nurturing…..the passionate…friendship.

Running my fingers through the front of my man bun, I shook my head at the thoughts. Granted, Ashlyn and I never had sex. But with her in those pajamas and me being celibate for God knows how long, I didn't know how long I was gonna last.

Just watching her do a simple task, I couldn't help but wonder how soft she would feel...the sounds she'd make... how she'd taste.

"You hungry?" She asked, pulling me not so far from my thoughts.

I smirked, thinking she could read my mind. "How could you tell?"

She had to be thinking the same thing I thought. Honestly it took nearly everything in me to not push her against the wall and see if she tasted just as sweet as she looked.

'Get a fucking grip Joe!' I shouted at myself, before focusing back on Ashlyn.

"I just thought you'd probably want something since you're just getting off. Every man is hungry after a hard day at work, but sorry it's not a home cooked meal" She said cutting the pizza.

I was hungry, but not for food. I've been a hungry man for nearly 7 months and being cooped up in hotel rooms alone made it worse. Not to mention whenever Ashlyn would call, I'd get really hungry. But I had to remember, she was my good friend and I didn't want to lose her just because I couldn't keep it in my pants.

"It's alright, long as it's hot and ready. I'm not that hard to please." I shrugged, taking another gulp of my Smirnoff to cool off.

Hearing her giggle was like a bell from heaven. I honestly believed she was my guardian angel; a beautiful woman to help me get through something I never thought I'd experience with a person who I thought would always have my back.

Just a few days ago while I was still on the road, my mom called, talking about speaking with a lawyer when I got back. Pops, of course was against it until I had solid evidence to see about divorcing Janice. But with the phone still lost, I had nothing.

There wasn't anything set in stone yet, but just the thought of it made my heart hurt to put Jasmine through something like that.

"You sure? I mean I could try and make your favorite." Lyn said still gigging, bringing me out of my deep thoughts.

I smirked as I chuckled, "Nah, not this time. Besides, I bet you don't even remember my favorites." I said looking at her with playful glare.

Staring into her eyes, I felt my dick twitch at the look she was giving me. It was like she was taking on my challenge and the look on her face said that she was willing to play.

"Really?" she asked, setting down the knife, still giving me that look. "You think I wouldn't know my own friend likes traditional lasagna and stuffed papayas….what were they called again?" she said, pouting those sweet lips

'If only she knew what she was doing to me', I thought smirking. "You mean esi fafao?" I said raising an eyebrow at her.

Pointing at the air as if the answer was floating in front of her, Lyn smirked "Yup, that's it! I looked up the recipe the day you told me, I honestly was curious to see what it was." She said finishing up with the pizza then turned to another cabinet. "So which one you want?"

At her question, I slowly moved my eyes up and down as she stretched to reach the plates on another shelf. Seeing that she needed help, I moved up behind her to reach for the plates she wanted. As I reached for them, I purposely leaned on her, pushing her into the counter with one hand on her hip.

After grabbing the plates, I sighed as I quickly moved away from her before I did something I might regret.

God knows the things I would do to her,

"I'll take the pepperoni." I said moving back to the counter to finish my drink. 'It's gonna be a long night' I thought.

Ashlyn nodded feeling cold after Joe moved back to the counter. Truthfully she wanted to go and wrap her arms around him just to feel his warmth again, but she kept in mind… 'He's married and he's your friend'

With a good drink and food, Ashlyn sat in her favorite spot on the floor while Joe took the couch.

"I can move over if you wanna sit on the couch Lyn" Joe said, finishing his first slice.

Shaking her head no, Lyn popped open her drink "Nah, I'm good Joe. I'm comfortable on the floor" she said glancing at the wrestler who gave her a pouted look.

"What?" she asked raising an eyebrow at Joe,

"Nothing," He shrugged his shoulders, "Just makes you look short" Joe mumbled, knowing Lyn would fall for his trap.

Ashlyn licked her lips as she sat down her drink; turning to Joe who was trying not to smirk as he ate his pizza.

"I'm 5'3! I'm not that short." She remarked, pouting her lips. "You're just too tall"

"Aw, Lyn are you having a tiny tantrum?" Joe teased, smirking

"On the fact, that you're almost as tall as big bird? No, not really" she said rolling her eyes, giggling.

Joe smirked, placing his plate down on the side table. "Tch, I didn't know you had a short temper" he said leaning down near Ashlyn's head.

"Are you finished Mr. Anoa'i?" Ashlyn pouted, looking up at the grey eyed man "Because you're becoming annoying."

"Nope, there's still plenty of room up here Ms. James. Why you sitting on the floor?" Joe asked, still teasing.

"Because I want to, so there" she said sticking her tongue out at Joe.

Deeply Joe chuckled "Alright, suit yourself" he said before picking her up and setting her on the couch next to him.

"Oh Joe!" Lyn exclaimed, playfully hitting the laughing Samoan's shoulder as she let out a laugh herself.

Smiling at his accomplishment, Joe grabbed his plate to finish his pizza.

"See, now isn't that more comfy?" he said winking at Ashlyn while she rolled her eyes.

"No" she scoffed, taking a gulp of her second Smirnoff. "I was comfortable, now I gotta squeeze onto the couch with your big ass." she teased, lightly bumping Joe.

Joe nearly choked on his pizza after hearing what Ashlyn said, "I hate to break it to ya baby girl, but….your ass is bigger than mine." He said looking down at her pump rump then back at her eyes.

"So you've been looking at my ass Joe?" Lyn replied, rolling her eyes,

Joe chuckled as he sat his finished plate on the side table again. "Well I am a man," he said moving his eyes up and down on Ashlyn. "And you are attractive"

"Oh whatever Joe," Ashlyn said lightly shoving him "I'm about as plain as a rose." She said looking down at her lap.

Joe leaned his head over as he tipped Ashlyn's head up with his hand on her chin. "What are you talking about plain?"

"I'm just saying Joe," Lyn shrugged, "Roses aren't rare, you see them more than any other flower that they look boring after while." She said trying to push her face back down, but Joe wouldn't have it.

Picking her face back up to see her brown eyes stare into his. "Lyn, you're anything but plain. You've got an amazing smile, your eyes are a warm brown anyone can fall in love with, you're doing a college major alotta women would turn down because they're worried about their hair or makeup, but not you. All you care about is the thrill of the search, not everyone can say they swam in the deepest parts of the ocean to find lost history." He said remembering Ashlyn's reason for doing what she loved.

Ashlyn licked her lips as she looked at Joe,

Just as she was about to say something, a loud boom made her jump into Joe's arms, nervously.

"Aww, Lil' Lyn's scared of thunder?" Joe chuckled, blocking another shove.

"Oh shut it Joe," Ashlyn said pulling away from Joe's arms, leaning on the other side of the couch.

Lightly pinching her sides, Joe smirked hearing Lyn squeak and jump until she slapped his hand away. "Stop that, you know I hate squeaking" Ashlyn said trying not to giggle.

"But you sound so cute when you squeak" Joe said moving over, pinching Ashlyn's side again.

Ashlyn bit her bottom lip as she tried to grab Joe's pinching fingers, but couldn't get a grip on the quick moving hands; still pinching her sides.

"Joe…Stop!" she laughed, as Joe continued to tickle her.

"I'll stop when you admit it." Joe said determined, one hand holding both of Ashlyn's wrists while the other continued to lightly pinch her.

"Admit what?" she said still squeaking at Joe's pinches until he stopped, placing his hand on her hip.

Ashlyn tried to catch her breath when Joe stopped torturing her but it was short lived as he did another soft pinch on her exposed stomach.

Watching her jump underneath him, Joe enjoyed hearing Ashlyn laugh and seeing her smile. He could joke around with her, tease her, be himself with her; pretty much what good friends would do...or what a couple would do.

Joe smiled as he looked at the burgundy haired mocha skin beauty under him as she steadied her breathing, "I want you to admit that you're anything but ordinary. You're not just a plain rose Lyn, you're rare." Joe said meaning every word.

"You mean that Joe?" Ashlyn asked seriously.

Not moving his eyes from hers, Joe leaned in; nearly touching Ashlyn's lips. "I meant every word," he said licking his lips, "Believe that"

ASHLYN

"Are You Serious?!" I shouted, shoving Joe away from me. "You couldn't help yourself could you" I said angrily,

Just as I was about to believe him, he had to go and say his Roman Reigns phrase and ruin the whole thing.

"Honestly I couldn't" Joe laughed, blocking me from hitting him again. "Hey, careful I don't wanna explain to my boss that I got beat up." he said chuckling.

"Be sure to mention the fact that you got beat up by a girl" I scoffed, folding my arms under my chest. "You truly love teasing me, don't you?" I glared.

Joe shrugged before winking at me, "I do, but it's because I can be myself with you. You've never asked me for anything except for an autograph, no money, tickets, meet one of my co-workers; you just been….you" he said looking into my eyes again, this time I could tell he wasn't joking. "Thanks Lyn"

"Eh, no problem big guy," I shrugged before jumping at the sound of thunder booming again. "Not funny," I said, already hearing Joe snicker.

Another boom rang out, closer this time making me jump beside Joe; who protectively put his arm over my shoulder.

"Come here" he whispered, pulling me into his lap.

Not going against him, I laid my head on his chest as he laid back with my body between his legs. If anyone walked in, they would think we were lovers instead of friends.

But that didn't matter, this was something he promised he would do. Joe was a friend who made everything ok, even during thunder storms.

"Thanks Joe," I whispered, getting comfortable.

"No problem baby girl" he said deeply,

Sighing I closed my eyes, completely forgetting about the storm outside and was more focused on the storm grey eyes that haunted my mind.

Feeling Joe's hand rest on my lower back made me slightly stir. But I smiled as I drifted to sleep, feeling the same warmth from before.

JOE

An Hour Later

Taking a deep sigh, as I opened my eyes. I heard a light snore coming from a body laying on my chest. Glancing down, I saw Ashlyn cuddled between my legs. I couldn't help but smirk seeing her so relaxed and naturally beautiful.

Glancing up, I saw the T.V was still on; meaning the power didn't go out. But the rain was still heavily coming down with less thunder.

'At least it was easing up' I thought looking down at the sleeping mocha skin on my chest, I noticed that she was shivering.

Remembering I saw she had a blanket draped over the back of the couch, I gently pulled the large fleece over, covering both of us.

Hearing her moan onto my chest, I gazed down at Lyn before gently rubbing my fingers over her burgundy hair. I could still remember the day she bumped into me, the way her hips swung as she walked away from me. She still swung her hips the same sexy way when I saw her at the meet and greet. Just the thought of her sexy curves, I had to slightly adjust so my bulge wouldn't wake up Ashlyn.

'Oh God that sound is gonna drive me crazy' I thought, hearing Ashlyn moan again as she shuffled a little.

As she settled back down, I rested my hand back on the middle of her back under the blanket. I bit my bottom lip as I felt her soft skin on my finger tips,

Taking a chance, I lightly raked my nails from one side of her back to the other.

'Oh God, why'd I do that?!' I thought, hearing her whimper as she shifted her arms on my shoulders with her face in the crook of my neck.

Having her head so close to me I could feel her mouth near my neck; one wrong move and I wouldn't be able to hold back. Late nights after talking to her, she never knew what her voice did to me. Fantasizing about her under me, on top of me, I didn't care where; I just wanted her.

I felt my breath get caught in my throat at the feeling of someone kissing my neck. Feeling her need, I slowly moved my hand to cup one of her soft round gluts.

"Joe" she moaned onto my neck, moving her legs to straddle me.

"Fuck... Lyn" I hissed out, my eyes nearly closing in ecstasy as she continued to suck on my neck; making me think on something else she could suck.

Feeling her lick my ear, I nearly lost it. As I gripped both sexy cheeks tightly, I could hear her lightly moan as I grinded my hips to hers.

"Joooe" she whimpered, still holding onto my neck.

"Lyn baby," I sighed, using both hands to grip her sexy cheeks; pulling her up to feel my dick outline. "If we don't stop, I'm gonna fuck the shit outta you" I confessed, feeling my dick twitch knowing she felt it too.

Ashlyn gasped, slightly pulling back to look me in my eyes. "I'm so sorry Joe….I…I didn't mean….."

"Don't be" I interrupted her, whispering huskily,

Licking my lips, I pushed my other hand behind Lyn's head. Finally tasting the lips I craved all night.
