Feel like there may be a bit of choppiness to this and if so, sorry about that folks.
I just want to stop and reiterate that yes, while this is out here and features forms of the people we know and love...it is *fiction*. I make no claims on how they act or what they say. Fiction. So before you come at me with your hateful words and comments in PM, just keep in mind this is all for fun. There is always the beautiful back arrow or even the lovely x on the tab you're in. Sorry to disgust or spew out unreasonable, shitty writing - Sincerely, The person you called a bitch. :)
Now, for all my lovely readers, reviewers, followers and people faving...this one is for you. :D
The next day Rhea was up bright and early to start handling business. She wouldn't be here but for half a day more and it was back to home sweet home and work at the office. It was definitely time to buckle down and help her injured friend get situated before she up and left him to fend for himself.
It had been a struggle the night before helping Seth reach his room so instead of a repeat the two decided he'd be staying downstairs until he, and of course his physical therapist felt it was time to dare venturing up his dreaded stairs.
There had been lots of growling and frustration so because of that Rhea found herself loading up one of his humongous laundry baskets in order to lug clothes from his room into one of the guest rooms downstairs.
For a bachelor Seth sure had one big ass house.
She wondered if him and Leighla had inhabited it together at one point in time or had been planning to…
Shaking her head she bounced to the beat of the music playing from her iPod as she switched out the laundry, transferring the wet items from washer to dryer.
She was just hip bumping the door closed when Kevin bounded up giving her an excited bark. He circled around a bit and gave another yip and she squatted reaching out to gather the small dog.
"What's up boy? What do you need? Is it time to go out again, should I slide open the back door?"
As if knowing and agreeing to what she was talking about the dog wiggled in her grip and she chuckled.
"Hold on, we're going, we're going."
Minutes later, Rhea was in the kitchen, Kevin happily running around in the backyard, small barks sounding up every couple of seconds, as she worked on throwing together a small breakfast for her and Seth. All she had eaten earlier was a donut while picking up his meds and she was certainly feeling the pangs of hunger.
She felt good, she had gotten a lot done in such a short time. She had picked up his medicine, something to make for lunch and dinner later, had taken Kevin out for a walk earlier, when she noticed him whining and pawing at the front door and she had made it back in order to move some things and start laundry while cooking them something to eat and it was only...she glanced at the clock. 10 o' clock?! Shit she was doing good considering she had popped up bright and early at 5.
"Alright Kevs, about time to wake daddy up."
She was really talking to herself she knew but still.
"Oh yes..yeah..yeah baby, fuck," Seth murmured as he pressed and rubbed at the darker skin of the woman below him.
Her pants and moans were like music to his ears.
He reached down wringing his hand into her hair, giving it a tug, testing the waters before deciding to hell with it and pulling sharply making the woman gasp and arch back. Her pelvis slapped back against his own causing his cock to sink deeper into her silky folds.
"So good Rhea, god I have never felt better...love this shit." He grunted as he surged forward particularly hard and the brunette yelped, lifting then lowering over his cock eliciting a shudder from him.
"Grah!" He growled, pulling her up by her arms, not wanting to disturb her desperate clawing to his thigh and the sheets below but needing her close to him. His thrust picked up, her wetness allowing him to slide in and out of her silken depths without issue.
He loved the sounds she made as he fucked her, the way she felt, smelled…
"Ooh Seth," She whimpered, dropping her head back against a shoulder. He licked a stripe along her own up to the side of her neck, then pulled back a smidge, roughly grabbing her chin to turn her head his way. Their lips met in a heated kiss. Tongues and teeth and skin clashing. Skin smacking. So much smacking.
"Shit baby, getting close."
"Me too Sethie...me too. Cum for me...inside me."
Another growl. "God gorgeous, I'm gonna do just that. Gonna coat them walls."
The wiggle against him only urged him to work up into her in erratic pumps.
A hand cupped a boob, pinching one of her dark peaks as his other hand found it's way in between her thighs the pads of his index and middle rubbing at her in circles.
"Never want another," He murmured against her ear. "Never."
"You have me. Fill me," She moaned fervently. "Come on love."
All of a sudden he stopped, pulling out. Rhea nearly whined but was pleasantly surprised after being spun and dropped onto her back. Seth immediately dove in fisting himself, guiding his length back into the woman's warmth.
"W-Wanna see you when you fall apart," He panted.
Rhea held on for dear life, her thighs squeezing tightly around his waist as her fingertips dug into his shoulder blades before they wandered down his body.
"Ooh! Oh fuck. Seth!"
"Yeah, that's it," He encouraged as he pounded into her.
"Seth!"
"Seth!
"Hey Seth!"
A knocking rang in Seth's ears as he watched the woman below him.
"Hey Seth, time to get up!"
Seth frowned watching the woman call him and tell him to get up.
She was right under him. Awake and staring back into his very much awake gaze.
"Wha-"
"Come on, Sethie! Up, up, up!"
The scene changed a second later and Seth was greeted with white walls, a black television and blazing sunlight against his face.
The pounding continue and his doorknob turned as he took in his unclothed appearance.
Rhea was just moments from entering the room when everything clicked and he shot up, grabbing at his sheets, covering his lower half quickly.
"Shit! Naked! I-I mean I'm awake! I'll be out in a bit!"
There was a pause and the door was left ajar and Seth could have sworn he heard the woman mutter about seeing him naked before, before he heard shuffling.
'Shit, Rhea. Not now. I don't need to think about you seeing me...me, you...us screwing…Damn it!'
Another dream, another night. It was getting out of hand and honestly he was relieved that tomorrow afternoon she'd be gone. He wanted her here, had asked her to be, but since then his mostly occasional dreams had been plaguing him nightly.
'Probably should have never asked her here.'
He barely heard her inform him of food being ready and to hurry his cute ninja butt up before she closed the door.
Seth let out a sigh, dropping back onto the pillow. He threw his covers back and stared at his slightly throbbing yet extremely leaky cock and groaned.
Guess he should take care of this before he embarrassed both himself and Rhea.
After a bit, Seth hobbled his way out to the dining room and slid onto a chair.
He smirked at Rhea stuffing her face as she juggled between reading the comics out of a newspaper and petting their furry companion, who was perched on her lap once more.
"You know," Seth spoke up softly, clearing his throat. "You're totally spoiling lil dude right? He's gonna get used to being held and...hey! Did you just give my dog some eggs?"
Rhea looked up guilty and gave a small shrug then shook out her newspaper loudly before scooping up her fork to feed herself a bite of pancakes.
Seth narrowed his eyes as he drizzled syrup on his own pancakes and smirked when he felt Rhea shift.
"It was only one pinch," She mumbled. "I swear!"
Seth laughed. "Chill. I'm only fucking with ya, squirt."
'Fucking with ya? Really, Seth? Poor choice of words considering what you had just been dreaming...thinking about…'
Rhea copied his early squint and his laugh only grew in volume.
"Eat your food," She ordered.
The two ate in comfortable silence until they absolutely couldn't any more.
"Shit, Rhea...that was amazing," Seth groaned, dropping back in his chair. Rhea felt the start of a blush but shook her head hopping up to grab her's and Seth's stuff.
"Go sit, relax. I'll be out after I get this stuff cleaned."
Seth shifted, wincing as he lifted to stand up.
"Nah, I got that. You cooked so-"
Rhea leveled him with a look. "Dude hush. You will be doing all of this on your own soon enough. Let me help like I'm supposed to while I'm here."
Seth opened his mouth to speak but the small brunette shut him down with an "Ah-Ah" and finger wag. And just to drive her demand home she grabbed at him and spun him, pushing him softly to lead him into his living room.
She stood before him, eying his knee after handing him the tv remote.
"You need anything? Medicine? Water? Both? I saw you wince twice now, Seth."
The young superstar studied his friend for a long moment.
"Maybe in a bit," He tried.
Rhea gave a nod. "I'll hold you to that."
Seth watched in admiration as the small woman gathered up their plates and utensils, quickly moving into the kitchen.
This woman was something else.
He didn't know how he could ever repay her.
A small idea came to him hours later.
After a decent sized nap, some tv watching, game playing and loads of other stuff, Seth was sitting outside watching Kevin run around for the third time that day in the backyard. Rhea sat beside him him munching on a bit of a rice crispy treat she had made, sipping on a beer.
"What do you have planned for dinner," Seth asked her a beat later.
Rhea looked at him curiously, gulping down a bit of her drink.
"I was gonna make us homemade pizza," She answered with a grin. "Why? I had also bought lunch stuff but seeing as how we had a late breakfast, brunch if you will,it'll be there for later."
Seth blinked at the woman beside him.
"What all did you do today," He inquired slowly.
"Let's see…" She set down her beer, finishing up her small treat. "I took Kevin out for a morning walk, then I went to the store for your meds, foods and other stuff, hope you didn't mind but I took your car out for a spin," She blushed. "Anyway, I came back, started moving stuff downstairs to go in the room down here, started laundry and cooked and here we are. I'm sure you saw me running around as you played Madden and watched some tv."
Seth studied her for awhile, making her shift uncomfortably under his scrutiny.
"What," She pouted.
"N-Nothing. Just thinking. How about a nice dinner out? My treat for all the stuff you did today."
"Seth…"
"Come on. Please? It's the least I can do."
"I don't-"
"Honestly, I insist. Now hop up and go get cleaned up. Nothing fancy necessary, I'm sure you'll enjoy this place."
"Seth I-"
Come ooonnn."
Rhea all but face planted as she shuffled up, skirting into the house and into her room quickly.
She laughed.
What was this man up to?
Rhea looked on in wonder as she eyed the building before her and Seth.
After making sure all was set for Kevin, the two set out for the restaurant, Seth having called for a taxi for some reason leaving Rhea confused. But once he sent the driver off stating they should be done no later than two hours later and limped up beside her, she shook it off and smiled up at him, letting him lead the way.
"Barrel House," She questioned after being seated with no issue, while taking in her surroundings.
"It's a little different but they have some awesome ass food!"
Rhea nodded, perusing the menu. God she was starving! She rubbed at her belly as she dropped back deciding on what to order. It was between the chicken cordon bleu or the boom boom chicken enchilada. Oh and she was definitely having a drink or two.
"You look beautiful by the way," Seth spoke interrupted her musings.
Rhea shook her head. She wasn't wearing anything special.
A short sleeved cream colored blouse adorned with black polka dots sat atop her chest, black, fitted slacks followed for the bottoms, and stilettos with a black purse to match made up her ensemble. Oh, couldn't forget one of her boyfriend's leather jackets to top it all off.
"This? Hardly, Rollins."
"I mean it, Nelson."
Rhea puffed out her lips, narrowing her eyes at him and he simply smiled, a rebuttal on the edge his lips.
"Hello folks, my name is Mark and I'll be your server tonight. What can I start you guys off with to drink?"
Rhea drug her finger down the drinks menu.
"Yes, I'd like a Caramel Apple with a large glass of ice water."
She looked to Seth to see if that was ok and he nodded before ordering soda himself.
"You're not gonna…"
"Figured it wouldn't mix too well with the meds but you enjoy, I told you I'm paying, my treat." He winked.
Rhea bit at her cheek, curbing any more smartass remarks. This was really very sweet.
"Thanks, Seth," She uttered softly.
The drinks came out seconds later and food was ordered and the two engaged in easy talk. Rhea questioned if he was going to be ok alone soon, what he needed before she left, wondered what he had planned in a couple weeks for Thanksgiving...
The food was consumed and they were just enjoying each others company, reminiscing now, which eventually transitioned into jokes somehow.
More often than not Seth had to catch himself.
No, that lightening did nothing for Rhea's complexion as it shined down upon her, she was not flirting. This was not a date….
He was just tearing his gaze away from the small amount of cleavage showing between the split in her shirt when she gasped, her eyes wide and blinking at him widely.
'Shit!' He mentally berated himself. 'You've been caught. Just apologize and…'
"Look who's here," She breathed following it up with a long swig out of her straw, the action causing her cheeks to hallow. Seth's mouth dropped open a bit as he watched.
She had looked that way once before...a couple more if he counted the unwanted dreams. Yeah, unwanted.
"Yoo-hoo," She waved wildly, her cheeks flushed.
Seth couldn't tear himself away until...
"Leighla!"
He blinked, his concentration broken as he saw his friend waving stupidly, grin plastered on her face.
"What?" 'Leighla?!'
"Hi!" Rhea practically bounced in her seat. "What are you doing here?"
Seth turned at the last second just as Leighla made her way over to the booth.
"Hey guys, fancy meeting you here. How's it going?" She threw a wink Seth's way which did not go unnoticed by Rhea.
"Oooh," She giggled.
Yeah...safe to say she was tipsy.
"Sethie and I are just out having a nice ol dinner. He was kind enough to try and return the favor for me watching over his sexy ass."
Rhea threw her own wink at him and he squinted. Now he was thoroughly confused.
'Sexy ass?'
"Doesn't he look precious," She questioned the other woman, lifting to pinch at a cheek, making Seth swat at her.
"Stop that."
He was ignored as the small brunette made goo goo eyes at his ex. "You should totally join. I see you sitting all alone over there. We have plenty-"
"She's probably busy, Rhea," Seth interrupted through clenched teeth. "She doesn't need us butting in on anything." He looked up at Leighla giving her a tight smile. "Sorry about that, little squirt over here has had one too many to drink," He finished giving the bouncing brunette a pointed look.
He really didn't want or need this right now. He had been just fine spending time with Rhea, getting her to laugh, enjoying the soothing sound of her relaxed voice…
'This is not a date, Seth.'
"...too long!"
Wait, what?
All of a sudden Rhea's head swiveled to meet his own, her face dead serious. One would even think she was stone cold sober.
"Listen up you," Rhea hissed. "Leighla is coming back over here any second. Her blind date stood her earlier and we are keeping her company capiche? She decided to get some dinner before heading home and is on dessert now. Be good..o-k?"
Seth refrained from scowling at his small friend as Leighla came upon the booth again.
"So what were we talking about," Leighla breezed.
Rhea grinned. He silently fumed
Yeah, this was gonna be painful.
Seth sat back and listened as the two women squealed and giggled over things ranging from music to the hottest celeb at the moment, movies, make up...it was all too much.
Tapping at his to go box, which both had failed to notice when he asked for three, the young superstar looked between the two long and hard.
He had to admit, seeing the happy flush on Rhea's cheeks was nice.
'Fuck.'
He sighed loudly.
He really didn't mean to act like a petulant child, he had even joined in when prompted but honestly be didn't have much to say. He had just wanted to spend time with one of his best friends, enjoy each other's company, have some more of the fun rapport they always tended to have…
He just wanted Rhea time.
She shot him a puzzled look and when he flared his nostrils looking between the two her eyes lit up in recognition.
Downing her drink sans straw this time she gave the woman beside her a polite smile as she continued to speak. When she slapped her glass on the table her world tilted a little. What was this? Her third or fourth drink?
Leighla finally finished her last bite of cheesecake, taking a brief pause leaving an opening for interruption.
Rhea stretched with a small yawn.
The things she did for this man. She had actually been enjoying herself.
"Well Leighla...I guess I better get miss diva over here in and medicated. I've seen a wince or two," She informed cocking a thumb Seth's way playfully.
Leighla's eyes widened and she looked to Seth. "You ok," She questioned softly. He gave her a grateful smile in return.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Just a bit of after surgery pain. Nothing meds won't help out with."
He honestly could say he wasn't lying about it being medicine time.
The blue eyed woman nodded and jutted out her bottom lip, deep in thought. She looked back at Seth.
"Let me know if you need anything, ok? You know I live minutes away."
Rhea watched the whole thing in giddiness as she packed up her leftovers and uneaten dessert.
Seth gave another smile and Rhea swore she could hear the deep inhale from the other woman beside her.
A hug was exchanged between ex lovers and Rhea and Leighla typed in their numbers in each other's phones before the threesome left the establishment.
"Whoa. You gonna be ok there, little bit," Seth teased as Rhea stumbled a bit, steadying herself against him. She shook her head to right herself and make sure he was ok.
"Shoulda stopped me," She slurred.
"I tried! You smacked me and told me I was treating!"
Rhea rolled her eyes and clicked over to the taxi waiting for them. She threw open the door and motioned him forward with a sweep of her arm.
The ride to Seth's was quiet as Rhea took a short snooze against Seth's arm, allowing him a close up view of a sleeping Rhea. Her mouth parted in a light snore, which only grew with each passing second and he found himself curbing a laugh as he pulled her closer, settling for watching the scenery, a content smile on his face.
All too soon the peaceful moment was over.
"Alright squirt, time to move it. Your bed is just, steps away," He murmured against her ear.
He lightly chuckled at her swatting.
"Sstop! Ssleep."
"Come on," He nudged giving the taxi driver a apologetic look who only smiled in return. "Rhea? Squirt?"
She moaned, nuzzling her face into his chest. "Liked 'little bit' more," She huffed. "Carry me," She finished.
"I would if I could. But my crutches…"
Rhea bolted upright, rubbing at her face. "Oh shit! Right!" She quickly scrambled out of the car and reached for Seth sleepily.
"The driver," She started to question.
"Already taken care of. Now let's get in, Kevin is probably chomping at the bit right now."
Sure enough the small dog came running, immediately hopping up on his hind legs begging to be picked up.
Rhea squatted to pet and love on him as Seth locked up but a loud yawn followed shortly.
"Get some rest...little bit, gonna let Kevin out one last time."
Rhea smiled and turned to hug and pinch at Seth's side before trudging down the hall.
When Seth made it into his room moments later, Kevin in tow he nearly fell flat on his face.
There lay Rhea, sprawled out on his bed. Shirt flung somewhere carelessly, pants unbuttoned but still on and her shoes and purse...who the fuck knew.
Rhea was on his bed!
He grimaced as he moved forward.
How was he going to take care of this situation? He was basically useless right now.
She rolled and he was greeted with that ample chest he had tried to avoid peeking at earlier. Her chest rose and fell steadily and he set his crutches up against the wall before hopping over.
"Rhea, babe...you gotta get up. Wrong room," He chuckled, nudging at a shoulder hesitantly.
"Stop," She whined.
"Little bit...this is my room."
She groaned into the comforter.
"Seth please...stop...talking. Get in bed."
'Oh fuck.'
"Do you want me to help you to your room?"
"Too far…."
He raised an eyebrow and watched as she turned her back to him.
He honestly didn't have the heart to tell her it was literally right next to his. It was just steps away.
He moved about, grabbing a change of clothes and an extra shirt.
"At least change out of your pants."
He almost repeated himself but Rhea lifted with a loud whimper and slowly started shuffling out of her pants without warning.
'Fuck!' "Rhea!"
"What?!" Her head snapped to the side quickly to stare at him strangely. "You said get undressed."
Seth bit his tongue and shook his head, thrusting a finger towards the bed. "Shirt for bed." He quickly spun, moving to get his crutches.
"Where are you-"
"To change."
"Don't be silly," Rhee replied, shuffling into bed after lifting the sheets. "I told you earlier...I've seen it all. Make sure to take your medicine," She rang, getting comfortable not noticed Seth's distressed look.
Finally giving up and succumbing to sleep she started to snore loudly and Seth watched her as it took him awhile to undress.
He changed into his sweats, throwing on a shirt for Rhea's benefit and then he too was situated under the covers.
He opened his mouth to ask about her flight but shook his head and moved to get comfy. Minutes later Rhea was happily breathing on his neck, hand slung across his middle, as she slept.
This was going to be a long night...
