"Yes harder! Oh god!" She screams out as I jerk a fistful of her hair back, arching her back like a contortionist. "Ahhhhh!" I smack myself into her with more force, as hard as I possibly can without hurting her. She screams louder and longer this time. I can feel her tighten on me, feel her about to be pushed into the sweet orgasmic abyss. "Shit, Seth! Oh god I'm going to-" she doesn't finish that sentence, she just screams loudly into the brick wall in front of her.

I close my eyes as I pull her hair even tighter, fuck her even harder, if that's even possible. I pound out all of my frustration into her tight, wet heat. Instead of her blonde hair, I'm picturing red. Picturing a body that's shorter. Picturing eyes that are hazel. Thinking of a time when her lips had been wrapped around me.

"Oh fuck." I grunt out as I spill into the condom. I pump into her a few more times before I slowly come to a stop.

"That was amazing." She pants out. "You were so fucking good, Seth. Mmmm."

Aaaand her voice ruins it.

"Yeah." I pull myself out of her quickly. "It was something." Like a giant fucking mistake. Literally.

"I can't remember the last time you fucked me that good." Sarah reaches down and pulls up her blue lace thong from around her ankles. "I've missed you." She bats her long black lashes at me as she adjusts her dress back over her body but I don't respond to her, I can't, I've got nothing to say. "Seriously Seth, I've missed you."

To the naked eye, Sarah is drop dead gorgeous. She's a real bombshell of a beauty. She turns heads in almost every room she walks in and she'd turned mine the first time I'd seen her. I remember thinking how she was the sexiest female I had ever seen but I soon came to see that a boatload of beauty can also bring a boatload of bat-shit crazy.

Once we'd been together for a substantial period of time the Sunday shoes came off. Her personality did a complete one-eighty after only a short period of time. She knew I was a fighter. She knew that it came with groupies. I mean, for fuck's sake, she's one of them. It's how we met and something about that seemed to bother her. But, you know, it only bothered her after we'd started a relationship and slept together several times.

"Do you want to go out to eat, babe?" She asks as she reapplies her lipstick in the floor-length mirror. "I'm starving after that. That was an entire workout."

"Nah, I've got to get heading home." I reply quickly, too quickly. Although I am hungry, I'm not going anywhere with her. Fuck, this was such a mistake.

"Oh." Her bright blue eyes meet mine in the mirror as she fixes her hair. "So, this is just another quick bootycall again. You just want to get off and be done. You don't want anything to do with having an actual fucking relationship?"

"Sarah," I begin as I throw the condom in the trash "you know you and I can't work. Things never work between us."

"Real fucking nice, Seth." She spits out in agitation. "You know if I didn't know any better I'd say you were thinking of someone else while you were inside of me."

That's because I was. If I said that I'd most likely end up castrated though. "Sarah, don't start with your shit. I'm really not in the..."

"Hey, that was a hell of a fight." Rhys interrupts as he enters the room. "For a second there I thought you were going to - " he stops when he eyes Sarah. "Sorry, we didn't mean to interrupt anything."

We? And just as I think it, Rae enters the room behind him. The moment our eyes lock a wave a nausea washes over me. Shit. She looks between Sarah and I but if it bothers her she's doing a hell of a job masking it. I look over to Sarah.

"No." She responds to Rhys when I don't but she's still looking at me. Her eyes flash over to Rae and then back to me. They narrow and darken. "You're not interrupting anything, Rhys. We've just finished." The way the words leave her mouth combined with the look on her face tell me that, unlike Rae, I had done quite a shit job of hiding my feelings.

She knows. Fuck fuck fuck fuck. She knows it was Rae. Rae was the one I was picturing instead of her. Shiiiiiiit.

"Yeah, you're fine, Rhys." I chime in, still looking at her. "Sarah was uh,"

"I was just leaving but who's this beautiful creature?" She smiles over to Rae and to the unknowing eye it would appear charming. Just like when a snake charms you before it strikes.

"That's my kid sister, Rae"

Sarah laughs, "Oh, is that right?"

"I wouldn't say kid seeing as how I'm only two years younger than him." Rae steps forward, right up to Sarah with a very similar fake smile. "Lovely to meet you... Sarah, right?"

"Yes, Seth's girlfriend."

That one catches her off guard because her carefully placed mask falters for a brief second and Sarah doesn't miss it. And I know the only reason Sarah said it was to make sure she was right about her. Fuuuuuuck. I want to run so far from this situation.

"Sarah-"

"It's okay, babe." She walks away from Rae and comes over to me. She places a kiss on my cheek and then brings her hands down to the front of my pants. "Might want to zip that up." She reaches for my fly and zips it up. "People might just think you've been doing the dirty in here with me. Don't want them knowing just how good it was though." She pulls away from me, turns around, and walks out without another word being said.

"Seriously, man?" He says the moment she's out of the room.

"Don't start with me, Rhys." I run my hand through my hair in frustration. "It was nothing."

"Come on, Seth. You were just saying the other day-"

"I know!" I snap at him. I look over at Rae who's staring at the door Sarah had just exited. "Rae, she-" and I shut my fucking mouth right up before I can say anything else.

"She seems lovely." Rae slaps on another fake smile. "I'll wait for you guys outside. It smells like sweat and sex in here."

"Hey, wait." Rhys calls out to her. "How the fuck do you know what sex smells like?"

"I'm twenty-one, not fifteen." She slams the door as she walks out.

"That's just fucking..." Rhys shakes his head. "That's just. Just something I never wanted to have to think about. My little sister being with anyone." He shakes his head, trying to rid himself of whatever he's thinking about. "Who knows the type of guys she'd even be into." You'd never guess... "Anyway, what the fuck, man?"

"I know, I know. It was a mistake"

"A mistake? She said the two of you are together again."

"We're not."

"You say that but the two of you obviously just had sex. Rae is right, it smells like pussy in here."

I pinch the bridge of my nose in frustration. "I just needed to get laid, okay? Stop busting my fucking balls. It was nothing." Nothing.

"You better make sure she knows that this time around."

"Trust me, I know."

I know that better than anyone.

The car ride home was a long one due to the inner-city traffic and the uncomfortable silence. The uncomfortable silence was due to the fact that I had offered to bring Rae home because Rhys had wanted to go meet up with Carla. He'd wanted me to go too and meet up with Eva but after already dealing with one woman I didn't want to be with I really didn't want to be with another.

I blow out a long breath as I scrub the shampoo out of my hair. I didn't even know Rhys was coming to the fight, let alone Rae. I'm just glad they hadn't walked in just minutes prior to when they had. That would've been even more uncomfortable than the situation already had been.

I finish rinsing myself off and then step out of the shower. "Jesus!" I snatch my towel off the hook and quickly wrap it around myself. "Might have wanted to let me know you were in here, you know, so I don't walk out buck fucking naked in front of you."

"I've had your cock in my mouth." She applies something to her cheekbones, darkening them. "It's nothing I haven't seen before."

"Where are you going?" The questions leaves my mouth before I even know why I'm asking it.

She catches my eyes in the mirror. "Out."

"I'm sorry about earlier. Sarah isn't my girlfr-"

She holds up a hand, halting my words. "I don't care." I scrunch my brows together because, if I'm not mistaken, it had looked like she had. "Seriously Seth, fuck whoever you want."

"But I-"

"You don't owe me an explanation for anything. You and I aren't anything. You're dating and fucking other people and so am I." Ouch. But why her words sting I'm not really sure. I walk up behind her and turn her around. "What are you doing?" I lift her up and sit her on the countertop. My body hovers over hers with my lips inches away from hers. "Seth," she gulps then bites her lip "what are you-"

I don't let her finish as I crash my lips onto hers. These lips, these are the ones I've been longing to kiss. Aching to kiss. She hesitates at first, even puts her hands on my chest to shove me away, but that only lasts a second before she gives in. She not only gives in, she takes control of our kiss. Rae dominates my lips. She devours me and with a single kiss I can feel myself becoming breathless, lost in her. But just as I put my hands on the hem of her shirt she pulls away.

Looking up at me with a devilish look she says, "think about that the next time you bury yourself inside of Sarah." She jumps down from the countertop and exits the bathroom, leaving me there.

What she doesn't know though is that I already had been thinking of her.
