Chapter 13

Nate 

I sat at the bar, alone, with my glass of whiskey while Lucas, Devon, and Maya went wild on the dance floor. Maya hadn’t spoken to me since she got back from the bathroom, she just ignored me, drank her drink, and then joined Lucas on the dance floor.

I was the biggest idiot that existed on the face of the earth. Now I had the confirmation.

I was an asshole.

How it is possible that I fell on another girl? Because I was so stupid, that’s the answer.

If I hadn’t been the biggest idiot of all maybe at that time Maya and I... what exactly would we have been? I wasn’t sure. Maybe more than that.

I’d always been after her in high school, and that was exactly the chance to get a chance, and I fucked it up.

Congratulations Nate.

I emptied my glass and turned to the dance floor where I saw Maya dancing.

Her eyes closed, the pelvis moved with the music and the hair that waved with every movement. The soft lights of the track created plays of light and shadows on her skin, the dress fit her divinely and highlighted every single curve.

She lifted her arms and continued to sway sinuously, then she ran a hand along an arm, sinuously and slowly, gently stroking her arm, then her shoulder, she slid his hand over her neck, stroking her bare skin, descended into the neckline, then further down, stopping on the abdomen.

I looked at her like I was kidnapped by her movements, and I wasn’t the only one.

I noticed how two guys approached her quickly. I took the glass, which had been refilled, and I took a single sip of the contents and then slammed the empty glass on the counter and got up abruptly.

I quickly approached the floor and I looked down at the two men who were trying to approach Maya, not that she realized since she kept her eyes closed and dancing as if she was the only one on the dance floor.

I leaned over behind her and saw Lucas give me a mischievous smile, before throwing his arms in the air and continuing to dance.

I went behind Maya and surrounded her hips with one arm, pushing her against me. She froze for a moment, but I began to move my pelvis with her and immediately Maya let go and began to rub against me.

I grabbed her hand and carried her around my neck, and Maya immediately stuck her fingers through my hair and turned her head slightly to my face, looking at me full of lust and then looking at my lips. She hardly swallowed and I felt the urgent need to kiss her. I leaned over to her but immediately she moved her head and looked in front of her.

But it was not enough for her. She began to move her hips with the music, rubbing her butt against my cock, a small groan escaped from my lips and the pants tighten.

Not again.

Maya didn’t seem bothered by the effect she had on me, on the contrary. She continued to rub even more against me and put her free hand on my open one on her abdomen.

If she wants war, then she will have it. I thought.

I raised my free hand and put it on the arm that was around my neck, going down the length of it and reaching up to my neck. I moved her hair to the side, releasing the skin that shuddered at my touch. I surrounded her neck with my hand and I put my thumb on her lower lip, feeling her wrist accelerating.

I’m affecting her.

I pressed my pelvis against her butt at the same time as the music's bass, rubbing my swollen crotch against her. I felt her warm breath on my thumb and Maya turned her head back to me and looked me in the eye. Her pupils were slightly dilated, her eyes were dark.

She wants me.

I realized from the way she looked at me, from the way her gaze was full of passion. I also wanted her, immediately, even on that floor.

I laid my hands on her hips and turned her towards me, she press herself on my chest and immediately surrounded my neck with her arms while I surrounded her waist, putting my hands on her back and holding her body attached to mine.

We continued to move with the music, a sensual sound that pushed us to push our bodies against each other.

She put her hands in my hair and messed them up as her face approached and her lips rested on the lobe of my ear. Her warm breath on my skin gave me chills all over my body and turned me on even more.

I leaned over to her, ready to capture her lips with my own, when Lucas stood in the way and screamed into my ear, interrupting me just as I was a few inches away from those lips begging to be kissed.

\"Devon is drunk! It’s time for you to go home babies!\" he cried to be heard over the music.

Maya looked at him for a moment and then as if she had woken up, she tried to get away from me, as if she was burnt, but I held her with an arm on her waist. I certainly didn’t intend to let her get away at that very moment, not when I saw how much she wanted me and this time she would have no escape.

I dragged her with me to the bar where we had left our things and I left her just to let her put on her coat, as soon as she had finished I surrounded her waist with my arm again and Maya looked at me.

Oh oh, that’s not necessary.

We went out. The air was freezing. By now it was one a.m. and there were a few people on the street.

Devon was staggering slightly in front of us while Lucas was trying to keep him. We headed to Jess\' apartment, where we had left the cars. The two guys in front of us and Maya and I in the back.

She kept the weight on my body, and I was on fire. I should have made up an excuse, and made sure that what was almost there tonight wasn’t forgotten.

We got to the cars and stopped.

\"Can you make it home?\" Maya asked the two boys.

Devon slumped over Lucas and closed his eyes, the boy was slightly struggling to hold up her boyfriend who seemed to be blissfully asleep.

\"I’ll call a cab.\" Lucas said looking around.

\"Nate has the car he can take you with him.\" Maya said immediately.

I turned around and I looked at \"Are you serious?\" and I wondered.

\"Very serious.\" she replied, \"Do you really want to leave Lucas and Devon in the hands of some taxi driver? What if they meet some horrible person who hurts them?\" she said looking at me.

\"We have an open question.\" I said, tooth clenched.

Maya slapped me on the chest two times, \"Nothing important.\" she said, and she took off from me.

She lean forward and give me a little kiss on my cheek, I tried to turn my head to make our lips collide, but she held me down by the chin.

When she walked away I gave her a grim look that she promptly avoided devoting herself to Lucas and Devon. She greeted them and then went into her car, turned on the engine and left me there to babysit.

I grabbed Devon on one side and Lucas got on the other and together we dragged him to my car where we stuffed him in the backseat.

Once I sat down, I set out and started.

\"Do you know that if Jess saw you tonight, she’d skin you alive?\" Lucas asked suddenly.

\"But Jess didn’t see me.\" I said with my eyes on the road.

\"What do you think you’re doing, Nate? Sex and then abandonment?\" Lucas asked.

I could feel his look pointed at my profile.

\"My intentions are no one’s business but mine.\" I replied by resting an elbow on the window and keeping the steering with one hand.

\"I am if it’s a friend of mine,\" he quietly said, \"If you do something wrong or if it even hurts Maya in the slightest, I’ll tell your sister.” He said more and more calmly.

\"Is that a threat, Lucas?\" I asked looking out of the corner of my eye.

\"Warning. For each action, there is a consequence Nate.\" Lucas turned his head towards the back seat, where Devon slept quietly snoring lightly.

I didn’t say anything. The rest of the trip went on quietly. When we arrived, I parked the car and helped Lucas with Devon. We dragged him up the stairs. I held him down while Lucas opened the door to the apartment, once inside we walked him into the room and threw him on the bed.

In all this Devon did not notice anything at all. He remained completely asleep, once on the bed began to buzz heavily.

\"I really think I’m going to sleep on the couch.\" Lucas said, crossing his arms to his chest and noticing how his boyfriend was blissfully sleeping on the blankets with his shoes still on.

\"Well, call me if you need anything.\" I said, taking two fingers to my forehead and saying hello.

Without waiting for anything else I turned around and went back, leaving the apartment and then the building.

I got back in the car and I went home with one thought: Maya.
