Unleashing My Boyfriend's Brother Desires

Movie night

A smile tugs at her lips as she turns her head to look at me. The little shimmer of curiosity and playfulness in her had returned a few days ago, as soon as she managed to settle in her new place. And really, I didn't know why I felt so much joy at the thought of her being happy.

I find myself smiling, warmth blooming in my chest as I look at her, and I don't want to think too much of it, but maybe... that carnal thing that drew me towards her, had turned into a different thing, now that she was so close.

"So, how do you like it?" she asks me as she settles in her cozy bean bag, the bowl of food in her lap.

How do I like what?

My eyes move to the plate of pasta that was sitting in front of me and I had a feeling this was not what she was talking about. My eyes trailed back to her and all I could think of was just how beautiful she was when she was smiling. The warmth in my chest spreads further and my stomach feels fuzzy.

I was screwed, wasn't I?

When she gestures around her, I finally understand what she was asking me about, and I chuckle, feeling much like a fool. Somehow, her whole presence swallowed all my attention and I didn't even get to notice how she had settled in this new place.

So, I look around. But all I can think of was how good she looked in sweatpants. Or how lovely it was to see her face clear of bruises, of any makeup, of any other things that masked the roundness of it...

"I- Like it." I find the strength to speak again, my throat a little too dry.

She smiles, all giddy in her spot and it feels like a reward.

I was definitely screwed. I don't really remember the last time I felt like this because of a woman... truth was, I didn't even want to remember. Selena was all I wanted right now. I was ashamed to admit that she consumed my mind with all sorts of thoughts and images...

"I like it as well. There's still enough to be done, but I like it like this as well. It's also very close to the studio-" she starts talking and I just listen.

Dinner goes on as it should. Lively, with light chat, jokes and laughs, and of course, the unmissable little flirting puns that make me want to ditch the movie and just have her. On the sofa, on the floor, on her goddamn bean bag or even the coffee table in front of me-

Of course, the movie she picks after dinner, is The Fellowship of the Rings and she seems just as excited to see it again, as a child. this was not our first time hanging out and if I was younger, I might have considered this a proper date. But she had made it clear a while ago that she was not ready to date, or have a relationship or anything of the sorts. That she simply needed someone to be her friend. And as I go through all these little meet-ups of ours, everything comes to a sudden stop when I feel her lean against me.

I haven't been paying attention to anything around me up until this point, not even to the movie which was one of my favorites. But now, with her head against my shoulder, and her shoulder dipping uncomfortably into my side, I become painfully aware of everything.

Of the heat of my own body, of the heartbeat that had started to be a little irregular... of the way her perfume was intoxicating me, of the way the dim lights seemed to cast a warm glow over her face...

*** Selena's POV ***

I wonder if the distance Aaron keeps between us was because of the talk we had a while ago...

Or was it because he was no longer interested-

As if he could read my mind, one of his arms wraps around me and he settles a little into his spot, getting more comfortable with me against him.

I feel my cheeks heat and for a moment, I doubt all this. I had a clear destination in mind and right now, I wasn't so sure anymore. My mind drifts to someone else and maybe this was my cue to pull away and end this before it was too late...

Aaron's fingers brush up my arm slowly, and my skin turns to goosebumps, while I grow warm and uneasy. My whole body reacts, my thighs pressing together lightly while my back straightens a little. My stomach fills with butterflies and I sink my teeth into the inner side of my lower lips, thinking once again of my decision.

With his other hand, Aaron pinches my chin and slowly tilts my head back, so I could meet his eyes. The green of his eyes appeared endless in the dim light of the room and I feel my heart skip a beat when they trail down my face and stop on my lips. Despite the uneasiness that sweeps over me, my lips part on their own and I can see how the corner of his mouth rises in a little side smile when he notices the little gesture. His thumb brushes over my chin, underneath my lower lip, tugging lightly at it while doing so.

"May I?" he rasps, his voice low and guttural, and I could just melt into his touch right now.

I wanted to say No. just for the sake of it. To see if he actually stopped...

"No..." the murmur leaves my lips before I can stop myself.

Aaron pauses, a little startled. His hooded eyes widen lightly, and it looks as if he has almost completely snapped out of this haze that had gotten the both of us.

His touch softens and before he can pull away, I reach my hand up and place it on the back of his neck, pulling him in. Our lips press together and my heart hammers so hard in my chest that I'm almost afraid it was going to break right through my ribcage... At first, he doesn't react. He seems just as startled as before, and his mouth is unloving underneath mine.

I break away from him, a little awkward, embarrassment making me nauseous. My cheeks feel hot and I am certain that even the tips of my ears have changed colors... Did I just make it even more embarrassing than it was?

"I-" I start speaking, but I am not given the chance to finish talking, before his hand takes hold of the back of my head and pulls me right back in.

Our lips meet again without any sort of hesitation. The kiss feels clumsy and sloppy at first, but he doesn't seem to care. While my eyes remain open a little longer, his close. It feels as if something within me shudders because of his touch. But I ignore it and allow my eyes to close, my thoughts drifting to someone else as I dive into the kiss.

What am I doing?...
