Is he sleeping?

It looked like he was sleeping. I shifted from foot to foot as my eyes trailed over him. His chest was bare and so was the leg pealing out from the sheets. The sheets were pooled at his waist. One arm laid across the space where Bella slept. His other arm was at his side with his hand resting on his lower stomach.

I bit my lip and glanced down the hall to my bedroom. It was still early so Michel wouldn't be up yet, but I knew Bella was already up and getting ready. I could hear the water running in the bathroom. Just as I turned to leave Michel stirred.

"Sin?"

I bit my lip as I turned back to him.

"What's wrong?"

"N-nothing." My eyes dropped to the floor. "I couldn't go b-back to sleep."

"Come here," he said, patting the spot next to him.

I hesitated.

Running to the bed, I jumped on it and crawled up towards him. Plopping down on my side, I watched him silently. He smiled as he turned to face me. My eyes dropped to the sheets when it slipped a little lower. His stomach was just as defined as Tyrone's.

I swallowed and then looked back up at him. "When is Tyrone coming?"

"Maybe this weekend," he muttered. "He's busy with work sweet pea."

"I miss him."

Michel's smile widened. He reached out and took hold of my hand. My lips parted when he placed it against his chest. His skin was smooth and warm. My eyes widened when his hand slid up my arm. I shivered. It felt nice. His hands stopped at my shoulder and then slowly slid down my back. Michel tugged me closer at the same time he leaned forward. My eyes fluttered closed seconds before his lips brushed mine.

My body heated.

His tongue stroked mine slowly. I pressed my hand tighter against his chest and then slowly trailed it down. Michel pulled back and stared at me. My eyes dropped to follow my hand as it trailed further down.

His muscles clenched.

I traced the deep v but stopped when my fingers touched the sheets.

The bathroom door creaked.

I turned onto my back and watched as Bella walked out. She was drying her hair with a towel. My eyes dropped to her naked body. Bella had a very toned and fit body.

My eyes widened when they landed on the apex of her thighs.

She has no hair!

Bella looked up. Our eyes locked. She froze and her eyes widened in surprise. I smiled at her, but she didn't smile back.

My smile slowly faded. Without a word, she turned and raced back into the bathroom. I jerked when she slammed the door closed.

"Hell," Michel mumbled. "Sin—"

I shook my head and slowly climbed off the bed. Michel grabbed my arm before I could walk off. He tugged me closer until I stood between his parted thighs. His hands dropped to my hips.

"Look at me, sweet pea." I glanced up at him from beneath my lashes. "Bella isn't mad because you were in bed with me. It's hard for her because she has never liked anyone the way she likes you."

"It feels strange," I whispered. "She's different with me. I don't want things to change between us because she likes me in a different way."

"I'll talk to Bella, okay?" Michel pressed a kiss to my stomach. "I have to go to work today, but Bella has the day off. Why don't you tell her how you feel? Talking will help sort this out."

I nodded.

Tyrone said it was important for us to be honest with each other and to communicate.

***

I tensed when the couch dipped next to me. From beneath my lashes, I watched her. Bella tugged on the hem of her shirt as she stared at the TV.

"I'm sorry," she whispered after a minute. "Michel said I hurt you by acting the way I did. It was never my intention to do that. I'm just. . .confused."

I turned my head to look at her. "I don't want you to act different," I said softly. "I feel confused too because I feel attracted to you. Michel told me that it wasn't wrong to feel that way."

"But it is wrong!" Bella turned to look at me. "It's wrong Sin."

"No, it's not." I turned to face her and reached for her hand. "No matter what you might have been taught or what anyone believes. As long as we enjoy it, there is nothing wrong or forbidden about anything we do together."

Bella smiled, but it quickly faded as tears filled her eyes. I dropped her hand and wrapped my arms around her. It took her five seconds to wrap her arms around my waist and bury her face against my neck. I could feel her tears dampening my skin.

"Does it feel wrong when you're with Michel and Tyrone?" I asked.

"No," she whispered.

"Does it feel wrong when you're with me?"

"No." Bella sat up and wiped her cheeks. "I like it."

"Tyrone and Michel is okay with us. They want us to be happy. We shouldn't care what anyone but them thinks." I smiled at her. "Only their opinion is important."

"But what about Draven and your mom?"

I shrugged. "Fuck them."

Bella giggled.

My smile widened until I was laughing along with her. The air had changed between us. It felt lighter, just like it was before. Somehow we ended up laying on the couch. Bella's head rested on my chest while her arms were wrapped around my waist.

She shifted slightly, slipping one of her legs between mine. It made me remember this morning.

"You don't have any hair covering your sex."

Bella raised her head and looked down at me. Her lips twitch. "You seem surprised."

"How do you. . .?"

"I shave." She pulled her arms from around my waist and leaned up on her elbows. "You can wax it or use hair removal creams."

"Why?" I asked.

My eyes dropped to her chest when she shifted. Her shirt hung low enough for me to catch a glimpse of the top of her breasts.

"I like it better." She licked her lips, instantly drawing my attention to them. "Sin, can I try something?"

I nodded.

Bella shifted slightly and then lowered her head. My eyes dropped to her mouth and then moved back to her eyes. I shivered when her breath fanned my lips. Closing my eyes, l raised my head to close the distance between us.

Bella gasped and jerked back. She's not going to stop this time. I wrapped my hand around the back of her neck and pulled her lips back to mine. I kissed her like Tyrone kissed me the first time. And then I kissed her like Michel had kissed me this morning.

Her moan made my panties wetter.

The pulse between my legs increased until that familiar ache started deep within me. Spreading my legs a little wider, I tilted my hips upward. Bella gasped and pulled back. She stared down at me with wide eyes. I kept my eyes locked with hers as my hands trailed down her back to her hips. Just like Tyrone had done to me many times before, I guided the movement of her hips against me.

"Sin," she whispered. "I—"

Her words were cut off when someone cleared their throat. We tensed. I watched as Bella's eyes widened in horror and the colour drain from her face. She scrambled backwards until she sat on the opposite side of the couch. Frowning, I pushed myself up and turned my head to see who had interrupted us.

Tyrone slowly entered the living room. His eyes caught mine. I expected him to be angry at me, but he clearly wasn't. His lips twitched as his eyes darted between us.

"Aren't you going to say hello to me?"

I smiled.

Tyrone surprised me when he picked me up and spun me in a circle. A laugh fell from my lips but it quickly died down when his lips smashed onto mine. I clung to him.

All to soon he broke the kiss.

He lowered me to the couch and then turned to Bella and captured her lips. I was close enough to watch their lips. Seeing them kissing like made me feel all hot.

Tyrone broke the kiss and turned to me again. I eagerly raised my lips to his. Bella was watching us, I could feel her eyes burning into my skin. He pulled back and gave me a small smile. With his hands, he guided Bella and me closer. I knew what he wanted and I gave it to him. I kissed Bella again. Her lips were hesitant against mine, but she didn't pull away.

Bella suddenly whimpered which instantly made me pull away from her. My eyes widened when I realized why she was making that sound. Tyrone had his hand down the front of her pants.

"Soaking," he muttered.

"Oh please," Bella begged. "Please."

"Are you joining us baby?" Tyrone asked me.

"I want to watch," I whispered.

Bella's eyes widened and then she shook her head. Some of that uncertainty from earlier was there again. "No."

"Bella—" Tyrone started, but I interrupted him.

"It's okay. Maybe another day." I smiled at them. "You go on ahead."

Tyrone's eyes glanced between us. He looked uncertain and a little worried. I gave him another nod and smile. After watching me for a few minutes he nodded. He gave me a kiss and then picked Bella up. I watched then until they disappeared from sight.

The smile slowly faded and so did the high.
