Daddies Brat

Leslie

I stayed up half the night thinking about the man snoring in bed next to me. Every interaction we’d ever had since I moved in. The way he smiled at me, then quickly tried to hide it. Each time he had found an excuse to help me study for my exam, always remaining platonic. Never crossing a line.

I didn’t want to go upstairs to my own bed, so I undressed and got under the covers with him. Deep down, in the part of my mind that would hear no lies, I knew I was trying to make something happen between us. Like lighting a match near a tank of gasoline.

And sure enough, the fumes caught fire the next morning.

Everything that morning felt so right with Harper. So satisfying. With Riley and Avery, we had begun with a deep sense of physical attraction. But with Harper, I had gotten to know him first. We had slowly built an emotional and intellectual connection.

Which made the sex that much more satisfying.

Harper didn’t last long, but that was fine, because neither did I. My sex was swollen and hungry for him as he fucked me from behind, sighing into my ear with every desperate thrust. It felt so good to finally give in-to something I didn’t realize I had been hoping for. The last roommate had bedded me, the one with all the rules.

“I hope I don’t have morning breath,” Harper said softly. He was still inside me, and hadn’t softened one bit.

“That’s the best part about doing it on our sides,” I said, twisting so I could cup his cheek.

He grinned at me. “I was afraid that you didn’t realize where you were.”

I blinked at him. “Why wouldn’t I know where I am?”

“You had more brownies when we got home. And you were asleep. I thought… I feared…”

“That I was dreaming?” I finished for him. “I knew exactly where I was, Harper. So you can end that line of thinking right now.” His freckled face visibly relaxed.

“You’re not wearing your glasses,” I suddenly realized.

“I didn’t get a chance to put them on.”

“So you were having sex with a blurry blonde shape this whole time?” I teased.

Harper chuckled at that. “I’m not that blind. I saw plenty.” He lifted the comforter that was covering us. “Yep. I can see everything I need to.”

I yanked the sheet back over us and gave him a playful glare. He laughed some more, and then his face drew serious. “This wasn’t a mistake, was it?” “Why would it be?” I asked carefully.

“We all had a rule about this,” he explained. “When you moved in, we all agreed not to flirt with you or make you uncomfortable.”

“We never really had a chance to flirt,” I pointed out. “We went straight from hanging out like roommates to raw, mindless sex.”

“You know what I mean,” he insisted. “The three of us created rules about this.”

I wasn’t angry, but I made myself scowl like I was. “You listen to me, Harper. I am a sapient woman who can make her own decisions. I am not a container of frosting in the fridge that you all agree not to touch.”

“Okay, yeah, I know,” he said, reaching for his glasses on the nightstand. His dick finally slid out of me, leaving me feeling empty. “But think of it from my perspective. I have been emphatic about this to Riley and Avery. And now I’ve broken my own rule. It’s incredibly hypocritical. Especially since the two of them have been good about this whole situation.”

I hoped that my face didn’t betray the storm of emotion going on inside of me. Riley and Avery had not been good. I had been sleeping with them for over a month now. Should I tell Harper now, to alleviate him of his guilt?

No. I immediately tossed the idea aside. It was not my place to do that, and not my decision to make. The three of them had known each other much longer than I had, so the truth needed to come from them.

“Harper,” I said slowly. “I understand your guilt. But please don’t overthink this. You and I had sex this morning. It was good. No, it was great.”

He flashed a grin. “We’re in agreement there.”

“I don’t want anything serious,” I went on. “Not right now, with school ending next semester. I have no idea what I’m going to do, or where I’m going to go. So there’s no point in worrying too much about this.”

Thoughts raced behind Harper’s bespectacled eyes, and then he nodded. “I understand. Honestly, I’m not sure what I want to do when I graduate, either.”

“There you go. Let’s enjoy this morning for what it was, then focus on our last year at school. And if you want to fool around some more, I’m down for that.”

“Okay,” he said. “I can accept that.”

I brushed my lips against his, and then he grabbed the back of my head and kissed me harder. I stopped worrying about my potential morning breath as our kiss went on, and soon I wondered if we would have an encore performance.

“I have to go,” he suddenly said, tearing his lips away and sliding out of bed. I got a few delightful seconds of Harper’s nudity-he wasn’t as muscular as his roommates, but his body still made me hungry for another round-and then he hastily pulled his clothes on. “I’m meeting my lab partner at the planetarium.”

I tossed the comforter away and rolled onto my belly, making sure he got a good look at my ass. “So soon? I was hoping for some cuddling. Or more of something else.” I raised an eyebrow at him.

His gaze lingered on my bare behind. For a few seconds, there was a fire in his green eyes that made me think he would forget about the planetarium and pounce on me again.

“You have no idea how tempting that is,” he said while resuming getting dressed. “Rain check?”

“What if I wanted this morning to be a one-time thing?” I asked. “And as soon as you walk out that door, we go back to being nothing but roommates?”

“You already said you would be interested in fooling around some more,” he said while sliding into a jacket.

“Damnit. Fine,” I said.

Harper leaned down and gave me a quick peck on the lips. “I’ll be back later this afternoon. Maybe we can try that steakhouse date over again?”

“Pfft,” I replied. “I spent two hundred bucks on steak and wine that we didn’t end up eating. You missed your chance, buddy. Our next date, I’m taking you to get Taco Bell again.”

He grinned at me. “I’d like that.”

And then he shouldered his backpack and left the room.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
