"I don't know what happened," Vivian sniffled. "He just said he didn't want to be with me anymore."
"What an asshole," I said, rubbing soft circles on her shoulder. She'd come to my apartment in tears, devastated that her worthless prick of a boyfriend had dumped her out of the blue. "He doesn't deserve you, anyway."
She looked at me with wide, blue eyes, reddened with tears. "Freddy, what is it about me?" she asked. "Why am I so unlovable?"
My heart broke. Vivian and I had been best friends since middle school, and I'd been harboring a crush on her since the beginning. "You're not," I said. "The last thing you are is unlovable."
God, she was beautiful. Every man who had ever broken her heart was an absolute moron. And as wrong as it was to think, she was even more beautiful with tears running down her face. I wanted to kiss them away-- or better yet, lick them off, taste their salty sweetness against my tongue.
My cock hardened at the thought. For a moment I imagined what it would be like for those tear-filled eyes to be looking up at me, her mouth stuffed full with my dick.
"He didn't even give me a reason," she went on. "That's the worst part, you know? I don't even know why he stopped loving me."
I kept rubbing slow circles on her shoulder, widening them to encompass more of her back. Definitely not thinking about how close I was to touching her breasts, or how easy it would be to slide my arm around her waist and pull her closer to me.
"You deserve so much better than that," I said. I scooted closer to her on the couch, so our hips were touching. She leaned in and rested her head on my shoulder.
"I do," she cried. "I deserve someone who cares about me."
"You do," I agreed. She was wearing a cute dress with a low neckline, probably for that prick Devan's benefit, but it was working on me too. I could see the upper curve of her breasts, and the line of cleavage kept drawing my eye. Beautiful.
"You know," I said, "I've always cared about you."
"Yeah." She turned slightly to meet my gaze, and she offered me a small, perfect smile. "You've always been a good friend to me."
Friend. That word was like a dagger in my heart, but I did my best to keep my expression neutral.
"That's the thing," I said. I tucked a lock of dark hair behind her ear. "I want to be more than that, with you. You deserve to be loved."
I leaned in to kiss her, and she didn't pull away. My lips met hers for the first time in the ten years we'd known each other, and my heart swelled with elation. It was like fireworks going off, proving that we were perfect for each other.
Her lips parted, and my tongue darted between them. I wanted to taste every inch of her. A moan escaped her lips-- or maybe it was mine-- and I drew her closer, wrapping my arm around her waist to pull her closer into me. Her breast pressed up against my chest.
She pushed her hand against me and pulled away. "Freddy, wait."
I kissed her again. My fingers tangled in her thick black hair so I could hold her closer. I pushed my tongue between her lips again, exploring her mouth. Her tongue tangled with mine and I lost myself in the sensation.
"Mmph!" She jerked away again. "Freddy, stop! I don't think this--"
"Shh." I gazed into her eyes. They were still wide, and a little frightened now. God, that was so sexy. There was no expression she could make that wouldn't turn me on. "Let me take care of you."
I kissed her deeply, pressing her back up against the couch. I let my hands roam her body-- but not too freely, I'm not an animal. As much as I wanted to roll her breasts between my fingers, pinch her nipples and kiss every inch of her skin, I knew I couldn't do that yet. She deserved a man who took care of her first, and that's what I would do.
So I touched her gently, running my palms flat and warm down her arms. Her hands grasped at me, but I ignored them. My pleasure wasn't important here.
After her arms, I ran down the sides of her chest, somehow ignoring the siren call of her breasts. I didn't want her to think I was taking advantage of her, I wanted to touch her in all the ways I knew she liked the most.
