Avery’s pov 
The air gets stuck in my lungs as I stare into Xade’s unwavering gaze. Xade and I had joked before and made many sexual jokes that sometimes came off as more than friendly. 
But back then we were just teasing, not taking anything seriously. Well, I hadn’t because Xade had never shown he wanted more before. 
However right now, this, these words were somehow different, those eyes were different, that look, hell I can’t breathe properly when he is. staring at me like this. 
Breathe Avery. Just breathe. All you need to breathe. 
Η 
Avery,” his eyes searched me, gauging for a reaction to his 
confession. 

Was it a confession? 

Should I take it seriously? 
What if he’s just messing with me like he usually did? He has always teased me. But if he were, would he be so boldly to cup my pussy? He had never done this before with his past teasing. Never went beyond 
that line. 
No one could read Xade Archer, not even me who had been this guy’s best friend for years. He had always been this mysterious guy who didn’t like to share too much of his life or his thoughts.

He had been a closed book for years, secrets hidden that I never wanted to pry out of him because I respected his boundaries. Sure I had always. been a little questionable, especially with his family always locking themselves in their estate on full moons. But I never questioned. 
I didn’t think I needed to know, not when I trusted him with everything I had. So I swept all the questionable stuff about him under the mental rock and trusted that if he wanted me to know he will tell me on his own. Or perhaps there was nothing to know and everyone was just overthinking. 
But right now, I find myself as desperate as the people in our old small town, wanting to know more than I am allowed to. 
I never was so desperate to know what he was thinking so much until now. I would give anything to know what was running through his mind at this very moment. At this very flicker of time 
This would have been the perfect moment for him to be an open book and I can be able to read him. 
There was no telling if he was just teasing me or not. 
“Xade,” I breathed, rolling my lower lip between my teeth and sinking into my flesh. My actions drew his attention to my lips and I saw something flash. A flicker. A flame of hunger, an ablaze of need shooting right to me. My hands tremble. 
We’re friends,” I tremble out of my lips, not really for him in 
particular, I was trying to remind myself of what we could lose if I let him do exactly what I really, really wanted him to do. 
Friends. 
We’re friends.

Best friends. 
Xade let out a sarcastic snort, his light blues flickering up to capture my gaze. “Friends?” he lowered his head, lips brushing against mine as he growled. 
“Friends don’t want to dip their tongue into their friend’s pussy, V. Suckle until you cream. 
He let out a mocking chuckle, pressing to me, his middle finger now pressing deeper into my core. I squirm, gasping.” Want me to prove to you how we can no longer just be ‘friends‘ Avery?” 
Before I can respond, Xade pushes up my dress up to my waist and in a swift move had me on the edge of the counter, my back pressing to the mirror, my thighs spread apart, and his head, his head right between my legs. 
I let out a startled squeal when his warm lips press to my panties, right over my clit.” Wh–at are you d–oing?” I stammered out, heart hammering behind the protection of my sternum. 
I knew what he was going to do, what he wanted to do, I was not that stupid. But some part of me, a very big part of me wanted to hear him say it with that husky tone. 
His eyes flick up, blue eyes darting me right through my soul and I swear I am about to come undone by such a simple gaze. Simple, but spoke volumes. Thirst. 
I swore his eyes flicked briefly with a tinge of red flecks, but I am certain I had seen wrongly. He can do this to me, make my mind so muddled I am edging on the insanity line. 
Seeing him between my legs makes my thighs tremble. This sight, I

would not mind seeing this every single day. 
He gripped them, seizing their trembles. ” Proving to you that we can’t be friends.” Grunting those words, he opened his mouth and lightly nipped my throbbing clit with his teeth.
