She needed a little dignity to cope with her rejection. So after buttoning up her shirt and grabbing her purse, she took one last look behind her before slamming the door shut behind her.
She’d planned one hell of a night all right. It was just too bad she wouldn’t get to enjoy it.
Fucking asshole!
****
Rafe grew soft hearing the argument outside the bedroom door. He was beginning to doubt he’d get his night of promised pleasure, since Nathan was being such a crab, and Heidi sounded like she’d left all together. The door slamming was a dead giveaway. There was no way he could relax now, and he secretly wished he hadn’t been tied to the bed at that moment, no matter how good it felt to be displayed for the taking. Shit! Now he had no choice but to listen to the other female and Nathan now. She wasn’t impressed, and rightfully so.
“So, you love her?”
“Yes.” Nathan sighed. “She’s my roommate and is supposed to be my best friend. If I haven’t screwed things up as bad as I think I have. Fuck! ” The floor boards began to creak; Rafe assumed Nathan was pacing the hallway. “I had it all this morning. The potential for a great promotion, and a sexy woman who loves me. She’s open, honest, beautiful, and quite possibly one of the sweetest people I know. She would have done anything for me, and I went and fucked it all up. Why? Because I had a bad fucking day and she scares me.”
Missy gasped. “Nathan, in all of the years we’ve been together on and off, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you look at me, or anyone else, for that matter, the way you look at her. I can’t deny I’m a little upset, but you do love her, and you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Stop fighting it, hon. The sex was astounding, and I’m going to miss it, but I’m going to do you a favor by walking away right now. I’d hate to contribute to this mess you’ve made here. Fix it, and hey, if it doesn’t work out, you know my number.”
It went silent before the wood flooring creaked and Rafe heard the sound of high heels walking away. The door softly closing outside of the room he was currently trapped in made Rafe wonder if he’d been left there alone. Shit!
To his relief, Nathan stormed in determinedly just then and paced near the foot of the bed a few times, muttering obscenities under his breath.
“Um, Nathan—” Rafe began to tug at the silk binding his wrists and ankles. “A little help over here.”
“What?” Nathan huffed and looked as if he’d completely forgot the other man was lying there naked in his bed. His chest heaved as his breathing became more rapid, and Rafe wasn’t sure at that moment if it was out of anger or excitement. It might have been a little of both. There was a sparkle in Nathan’s eyes when he looked at Rafe, and then an unexpected smirk came across his face, which made Rafe unsure of what to expect.
“Look, I’m not that good at the whole mood-swing display you’ve got going on here, and I think maybe I should leave. Heidi obviously planned this at a bad time for you, so if you’ll untie me, I think I’ll be on my way. Maybe the three of us could do this some other time.”
“Fuck that!” Nathan laughed without humor. “Heidi planned this for me to enjoy, and I damn well plan to. I went and fucked things up with her, Missy left me, and I can’t say I blame her, and now that leaves me with you. So let’s have some fun. Come on, Rafe, what’s a little no-strings-attached pleasure between neighbors, huh? I can see your dick getting hard for me again.” Nathan smiled. “So now the question is, are you going to help make my mood any better? God knows I could sure use it. I’ve lost so much today and totally made an ass out of myself on top of it.”
Rafe moaned as he watched Nathan devour him with his eyes. Fuck yeah, he was getting aroused. He was promised a night of pleasure and knew damn well the invite would be delivered now. His mind kept telling
