His Favorite Rival

Zolina's POV

"What's wrong, angel? You have been acting jumpy since I got here," Eros pointed out. "And don't try to pretend that you are okay because I know when you lie," he stated, which was actually the truth.

Damn! Why did I have to be such a bad liar? I mean i can't lie for shit especially not to my boss turned friend. I gulped and swallowed the lump in my throat and directed my eyes to my bedroom's carpet, which seemed to be very interesting today.

Most days, I would have been able to hold eye contact, but I was failing miserably right at this moment. I saw movement from the corner of my eye, from Eros getting up from my bed. He steadily approached, and the heat from before started rising again in my body. I felt something in my stomach tighten and my breathing quicken. No, I wasn't having a panic attack. Far from that. I was turned on by my boss. Really, turned on to the point that I felt tingles in my lower region.

Using his index finger, he tilted my head towards him and proceeded to hold my jaw in place, preventing me from looking away again. "Tell me. Now," he demanded gruffly. Swallowing again, I tried to speak. "I-I-, "nothing was coming out. "Yes, Baby girl?" He ran his thumb along my jaw.

"It's embarrassing," I whispered. "Nothing you say or do is embarrassing, angel. Talk to me. mmh? What's wrong?" His words were so soothing that my body just relaxed in his arms.

He is so good to me.

I let out the breath I was holding. "Umm, so you remember a couple of weeks before when I had my period? " I shyly asked. "Yes, I remember. I keep track of your cycle. You know this."

"What does that have to do with why you are acting like this? " He inquired with raised eyebrows. I blushed at the fact that he keeps track of my cycle. I mean, it's not news to me, but still, imagine someone, A.K.A your male best friend, knowing that you are on your period. So embarrassing.

"It's actually about what comes later on." My face had to be flaming right now if it wasn't before. OMG! This is embarrassing. And to top it all off, my body is fully aware of his right now with our proximity. "Your ovulation period," yup, he hit the nail right on top of the head. I just nodded my head, diverting my eyes elsewhere since my head was in his captivity.

Before he came to my place I was reading this erotica novel and I couldn't help thinking of his doing those sinful things to my body and to top it all off, I was ovulating.

"Why didn't you just say something? I could have helped you with your problem," he revealed, shaking me to my core.

I think I had a slight wheeze from how fast I pulled my head away to look at him well. Was I hearing him correctly? Or am I just slow? Don't get me wrong, we've been best friends for a year now, and we've shared the same bed countless times, and I sleep on his chest every night. He takes care of me so well, making sure that I don't need anything, and he is such a gentleman who makes me laugh even if he is not conventionally funny. I guess these things are what made me so attracted to him and why every time i got horny i always imagined him on top of me all muscly and sweaty. But I never thought he would suggest such a thing as right now.

"Did you say what I just think you said?" I asked just to confirm. You know what, maybe he's joking. Right?

"Yes, baby girl," he said, giving me that intense eye contact. This man has his pet names. I think his goal is to finish me at this point. I feel my ears burning and I know my face is so red.

"B-but we are just friends. This isn't supposed to be our dynamic Eros. I reminded him cause he seemed to have forgotten that we are decided to be friends and not lovers due to our work relationship.

Feeling overwhelmed, I started to pace around the room. I knew if he even tried to convince me I would jump the wagon and consequences be damned because that's how far I am gone. Eros' eyes suddenly grew darker and he barked out "Do you think I'll let you go to anyone else to relieve your desires?! Fuck . No". He stomped towards me, where I was currently at my bedroom window. He snaked his arms around me and looked me dead in the eyes with those beautiful, grey eyes.

"We might have agreed to be friends because of our business relationship, but don't think for a second that I'll let a filthy unworthy man put his paws on you", he declared.

"I'm trying to hold myself back but I can only hold on for so long before I snap and decide to claim you. Contract be damned."

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. My stomach did that thing that I read about in my novels. I damn near felt butterflies in my tummy.

"What makes you think that you are worthy of touching me, unlike those unworthy men you so hatefully speak about? " I asked using my fingers to show quotation marks.

"No man is worthy of touching you", he stated clearly. "Not even me," he whispered to my ear. My breath hitched.

"Your eyes are what are telling me that if I were to touch you right now, you would let me. Am I right?" He asked while running the pads of his fingers underneath my eyes. My silence seemed to have given him his answer because he took my hand and led me to the king-size bed where he sat down and pulled me on top of him.

I was in straddle position and I could feel his print which wasn't helping my current situation. "Eros, what are you doing?" I whispered my voice trembling as i held on tightly to his shoulders. He was shirtless and his skin was so warm. "Do you want me to stop?" He countered, loosening his hold on my waist.

I shook my head and held onto him tighter. He gripped my waist once again pulling me forward to settle right on his dick which was hard and pulsing matching to the beat of my pussy. "Ah!" A sound i didn't recognize escaped my lips and Eros grunted tightening his hold that i could almost feel his nails digging in my waist.
