August 2015

The night had been the most passionate of her life, he had quickly found and become obsessed with her nipple piercings. He had kissed every inch of her body, taking his time to turn her on in ways she had only imagined possible. His own body was something she had imagined on a film star, he sported a muscular six pack, he was smooth all over his body until she had followed the small trail that had lead from his belly button down bellow his boxers. He was well endowed and he certainly knew what he was doing with the gift he had been given, she was craving another touch of his soft skin, his lips on hers, his expert hands on her own body but alas here she was making them both a coffee. After the hours of passion from the previous night, they had fallen asleep in each others arms and when she had awoke the following morning it was fast approaching 11 am, she left him sleeping soundly and set about making their drinks. "Morning" his voice startled her and she turned quickly to face him. He stood in only his jeans, she was wearing his shirt, something felt right about putting it on when she left the bed a few minutes before him.

"Morning Smithy" she replied "Sorry, did I wake you?"

"It's fine, I should be going anyway but I couldn't find my shirt" he pointed at her

"I was making coffee, I thought you could, I don't know, hang out for a while" she responded

"Look Stevie, last night was absolutely incredible, in fact it was the best night of my life"

"It was amazing Smithy"

"So is it not better we leave it at that, rather than leave our friendship in tatters"

"So you just want your shirt?"

"Mmm, this isn't a good look" he moved his hand down his chest and she couldn't help but disagree

"Okay" she smiled before pulling the shirt quickly up and over her head, exposing her naked body to him "Here" she held the shirt out to him, his hand dropped to the now bulge in his trousers and he rearranged himself

"Stevie"

"You asked for your shirt Smithy, here it is" he stepped towards her and she pulled the shirt back towards herself "Unless there is something you would rather have?"

"Stevie, what are you doing to me?" he asked as the back of his hand slowly grazed her arm

"Just giving you an option, like you said, last night was incredible, it's a shame to leave it at just one"

"You can't just keep taking your clothes off and seducing me"

"Yeah I can Smithy, because we both know that any second now, you are going to loose control and you won't be able to stop yourself". His lips found hers, she dropped his shirt to the floor as he moved her over and lifted her onto the kitchen table, his lips and hands intent on touching her in ways she was only just recovering from the night before.

Smithy kissed her shoulder as they laid curled up in bed. He entwined his fingers into hers and she cuddled further into his body. It was nearly 4pm now, the morning had flown past and she couldn't help the warm feeling inside her body as he held her close. "So, what now?" Smithy asked, his voice had startled her slightly and she turned to look at him, confusion creeping through her features. "I am starting to think saying we should just be friends, means we are going to end up in bed together"

"Is this not what you want?"

"Stevie, I could quite happily spend every single minute of the rest of my life with you, like this but I can't lose you"

"You won't lose me Smithy, look, we can ignore what has happened and carry on with our lives or we can see how this goes, have a bit of fun"

"A bit of fun?"

"Yeah, it's definitely fun" she smiled "Why don't we order a pizza, have some beers and watch a film, stuff mates do?"

"As amazing as that sounds Stevie, I need to go home"

"Okay" she replied, trying not to sound too disappointed

"I haven't fed my cat, I need to go and check him"

"You have a cat?"

"Yeah, he was my neighbours, she passed away a few weeks ago and the family were going to have him put to sleep"

"So you took him in?" she smirked

"I feed him and make sure he is safe, I'm a copper, it's my duty of care"

"If you say so Smithy" she laughed before moving into his soft inviting lips

"You could always come with me? If you want too"

"Are you inviting me to meet your cat?"

"No, I'm inviting you to spend time with me"

"I'd love too".

Walking through the communal hall way, Smithy gestured to a door and smiled at her "That was Bethels" he moved to his own door and pulled his keys out "She was always very sweet, I'd get her shopping when the weather was bad and she would bring me cakes"

"So the way to your heart is through your stomach?"

"Not for you it isn't" he laughed pecking her lips before moving inside the door, she followed and he pushed the door closed before leading her into the living room, he placed her bag to the sofa and said "Sit down, I'll grab us a beer and feed the cat"

"He is very cute" she called through to him as the grey and black cat appeared from the kitchen "Does he have a name Smithy?"

"Ken" he appeared in the door way and moved to sit next to her on the sofa

"As in Barbie and Ken?"

"No, as in Ken Barlow, apparently Bethel was a big fan of Coronation Street and thought Ken was a bit of a fox"

"How much time did you spend with this woman?"

"Not a lot, she was just a chatty person and I didn't like to be rude"

"You really are a big softy aren't you?"

"Shut it you, you'll ruin my street cred".

The two had spent the evening on the sofa, watching a film that had been his choice, although she had found it hilarious. He had nipped to the Chinese and grabbed them a take away and they were currently half way through their second bottle of wine. She had been leaning against his body for the most part of the film, as comfy as his sofa was, his body was more so. The credits began to roll on the movie and she jumped slightly as his lips began to move against her neck. His hands turned her body so she was sat over him and his lips moved up her throat to find her lips. His left hand rested gently on her hip, his right moving through her soft hair. The kiss deepened and she could feel his excitement building, he lifted her top up and he broke their kiss to remove it. His hand cupped gently over her bra, his eyes never breaking contact with her own as he reached for the clasp and released her breasts. "Did I tell you yet today, just how amazingly beautiful you are Stevie Moss?"

"No, you didn't" she laughed

"Well, you are quite possibly the most beautiful person I have ever met, inside and out Stevie and I want you to know, you really do mean a lot to me"

"I know Smithy, you mean a lot to me too" she replied before pulling his top up and over his head and moving back into his lips.
