Her underwear was pulled down, leaving her bare. Kellan used one hand to palm her breast that sprang free when he tore off her tank top. His fingers traced her breast, her skin littering with goosebumps. On the opposite hand, he played a cruel game with his fingers, drawing small circles below her stomach, getting lower and lower. And then, once he was closer to her entrance, he circled back up.

His mouth moved in calculated movements over her neck and side of her face. She wanted desperately to do the same, but she was left paralysed by his touch.

Her hand clutched the sheets, her knuckles turned white. Kellan’s chest rumbled.

‘Hold on to me,’ he said in a lover’s voice.

And she did. She moved an arm behind her and wrapped it around his neck. His bedroom was utterly silent; aside from Bethan’s soft moans.

Kellan’s finger played between her folds. She shot him a nervous glance. He took his lips from her neck.

‘I want you to relax,’ he whispered. ‘Let me help you.’

He pushed a finger in. She loosened, and he inserted another one.

His breath was hot against her ear, but she leant into the thrust of his fingers.

She grabbed his arm. ‘What about you?’

He shook from behind her, and a third finger found its way inside her. His other hand palmed her breast, gently squeezing.  She arched into him, bucking her hips, she could feel him.

‘Don’t worry about me tonight,’ he murmured, almost frustrated. ‘Let me take care of you. You deserve everything.’

His words made her heart beat faster. She kissed his arm, and he used his other hand to touch the rest of her.

The fingers inside her moved slowly in different directions, up and down, side to side. He would glide them out and thrust them back in to tease her. She feel his smile from behind.

Cruel, cruel man.

And she was so close to—

Her phone buzzed, and they ignored it. But then it buzzed again. And they ignored it. It buzzed for a third time. And Kellan’s fingers left her for the last time. She whimpered.

He turned away, and she instantly missed the warmth his body provided. She grabbed her phone with a groan and was greeted with a barrage of texts from Elnora.

Elnora: You will not believe what just happened

Elnora: Come home

Elnora: Now

She showed Kellan the texts. ‘It looks like it’s an emergency.’

Kellan opened his mouth, cut off by Elnora’s scream from across the hall. They bolted out of the comfort of his bed and quickly clothed themselves.

***

They ran across the hall to find Elnora standing outside the entrance to their apartment.

‘What’s wrong?’ Bethan rumbled.

Elnora was void of speech; instead, she pointed in the apartment. Bethan poked her head around the corner of the doors, unsure of what she was about to witness.
