Maya. You definitely like him.

Those words kept repeating in my head the whole way back home.

What am I even supposed to think about it?

I don't like Acker. I mean, yes, but no.

He's attractive, that's for sure, but that's where it ends. He's a manwhore and...and I shouldn't say that, since I'm no better.

The question I have to ask myself is whether I would be able to last more than a week with someone and for that someone to be Acker.

Maybe it would be nice to have a relationship again.

What the hell are you talking about, Maya? You're not into relationships.

I know I've said that a hundred times, but now it's different. Maybe it wouldn't even be a relationship as a relationship, but just good sex? It's an option I should explore.

I opened the door to my apartment, still confused about everything, and walked in. I threw the keys on the kitchen counter and looked around.

Where is Acker?

He's usually glued to the couch watching TV, but he's not there now.

"Acker?" I said in a calm voice, but no one answered.

He had to go out.

When I was heading to my room, I heard his voice from his room.

I stopped in front of my door and I couldn't do it, I had to go after him.

What do you want to tell him? Hey Acker, do you want to sleep with me so I know what I really want?

"Get it together, Maya," I whispered to myself as I stood outside his room. "Just tell him you probably like him."

Probably?

I knocked on the door, but for some reason didn't wait for his answer and went inside.

I shouldn't have.

"What the fuck?" I looked in horror at the half-naked woman, at Acker's crotch.

She yelped and reached for her t-shirt to cover her breasts. She rolled off him, but my attention was already on him by then.

And the way he looked at me? Without any emotion. As if nothing happened right now. As if I wouldn't find him between her legs a few minutes later.

"Really?" I snorted but felt a stone in my throat.

"What?" He said in a cold voice.

"What?" I repeated his question. "You're really fucking asking me, what?" I looked at him in disbelief.

"I going to head out." Said the blonde who was still only holding a t-shirt over her breasts. She slipped past me and a few seconds later I heard the front door.

"You're such an asshole." I shook my head.

Did I really come to this guy to tell him I like him? What the fuck was I thinking?

"Me?" He pointed to himself, an amused smile on his face. "I'm an asshole? Why?"

"Oh wow." I snorted. "How about because you almost fucked someone here?" I pointed to the edge of the bed where he was still sitting.

"And that's a problem?" He frowned and stood up. "I thought if you can enjoy yourself why can't I?" He zipped and buttoned his jeans.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Confused, but still angry, I asked him.

"So you're going to pretend you didn't do anything? That's a little hypocritical of you, don't you think?" He came closer to me. "I bring someone once and I have a problem, but the fact that you sleep with the first person who looks at you is absolutely fine?" Before he could say anything else, my palm flew in his direction and landed on his cheek.

"Screw you." I put my hands on his chest and pushed him. "I haven't slept with anyone since I broke it up with Raymond, so shut your mouth."

"Oh, so now you're a liar too? Good to know." He snorted.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I raised my voice.

"Are you really going to pretend nothing happened? Do you think I'm that stupid?" He frowned.

"Obviously, since you're talking bullshit." I crossed my arms over my breasts.

"Me?" He dug a finger into his chest and walked closer to me. "And what about the guy who came out of your room this morning? Are we going to pretend he was invisible?" What? "I was an idiot to think that anything that almost happened in San Jose was real, but you probably just needed relief and I was the closest, right? Like a complete idiot I took care of your," he pointed at me, "friend, while you were fucking someone here. But I have to congratulate you, it was a good plan to send a drunk Julie after me, at least it gave you time to find someone. Congratulations, wonderfully thought out." He applauded.

I looked at him confused. I don't know if I want to hit him again or...no, there's no or, I want to hit him for thinking I sent Julie to him on purpose.

And the fact that he called me a liar only made me more angry. My blood started to boil in my veins and I exploded. I didn't care what I was saying, the words were flying out of my mouth.

"You really think I'd send Julie after you? I'm not that much of a whore. Julie went after you alone because Garret, a friend of mine, who yes, I've slept with in the past, showed up at Eddie's. But don't you dare attack me when you've slept with more women than I've ever met people! And for your information, nothing happened between me and Garret, because when he touched me, all I could think about was you!" I pushed him. "We didn't have sex, we just talked and then I fell asleep. I don't even know when he left exactly." I threw up my hands. "And when you couldn't even look at me in the morning, I wanted to beat you with a baseball bat because I fucking like talking to you! And then I went to Julie since you didn't care about my existence, and she told me that I like you. Can you even imagine how I felt? I couldn't think of anything else. I even wanted to tell you that I like you, but surprise surprise, I found you in bed with someone else!"

I was breathing hard and my chest was heaving rapidly.

It looks like it's out there now. But it doesn't matter, it feels good to tell him everything to his face.

Speaking of Acker's face, right now he looks like he either wants to kill me or kiss me.

I would kick him in the balls if he tried both.

"You didn't sleep with him?" After a while he said.

"Didn't I make that clear enough?" I frowned.

"And...you like me."

"Now?" I raised an eyebrow. "You can go fuck yourself for all I care." I moved from my place and left the room.

"Maya, wait!" I heard his steps behind me.

"Leave me alone. I told you everything I wanted to." I reached for the doorknob to my room, but he stopped me.

"I thought you slept with him." He pulled my hand so I could see his face. "That's why I didn't want to talk to you. Do you know how I felt when I saw him leave your room? Like the biggest idiot because I thought there was something between us."

"I didn't sleep with him," I repeated for about the thirtieth time.

"How was I supposed to know then?" He shrugged.

"How about asking me instead of just ignoring me?" I yanked my hand out of his. "You screwed up."

"I know." He said quietly. "I just wanted to get you out of my system with her help." He pointed behind him to the front door where the woman had left.

"Why?" I simply asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" I shook my head. "Because I like you, Maya. I shouldn't feel that way, but I do. Do you have any idea when I've felt that way? I'll tell you, never. I've never really felt anything for anyone. But then you show up." He smiled. "I'm crazy about you. I want to beat up anyone who even looks at you because I'm jealous. I'm jealous, Maya. That's not something that happens to me."

"Why didn't you just tell me?" I said quietly.

"Because this isn't right." He pointed between us. "You're Theo's little sister and I should stay as far away from you as possible. But I can't. I can't be away from you because then I do stupid things as I did a while ago."

"What are we doing Sebastian?" I shook my head. "We both know this is wrong, so why..." I didn't finish the sentence, I just stopped.

"I don't know. But what I do know?" His hands moved to my face. "I want to try it with you. A relationship or whatever you want. As long as it's with you, I don't care." His gaze skipped between my eyes and lips. "You have to make a decision right now. You push me away and I'll leave, Theo will come back and take care of you. You'll be safe with him and..."

Before he could say my second or third, fourth, or fifth option, I stood on my tiptoes and connected our lips.

And when I say that I felt electricity running through my whole body, I am not exaggerating. I got chills all over my body and I was waiting for my stomach to open and for butterflies to fly out because there are so many of them.

His hands went behind the back of my neck and he pulled closer when he realized what was going on.

I tried to feel the handle behind me with my hand so that I could open the door. I finally succeeded and slowly started to back away, Acker still glued close to me, our lips connected.

"I kissed her, but it didn't go any further, I want you to know that." He said between kisses.

"I kissed Garret, it's okay." I reached for the zipper on his jeans.

His kisses suddenly became more devouring, as if he wanted to let me know that they belonged to him.

"Last chance to back out Maya."

"You've never been a gentleman, Acker." I pulled away from him and grabbed the hem of my t-shirt. "Don't start being one now." I pulled it over my head and threw it to the ground.

His gaze drifted from my face to my chest, making me bite my lip to hold back a smile.

"I will destroy you for others." He looked up at my face.

"That goes both ways." I smiled.

"I can't wait to finally shut your mouth."

"Good luck with that." I laughed.

Acker bent his head to me and kissed me again. He put his hands on my ass and lifted me up in his arms.

With one hand under my ass, he unbuttoned my bra with the other and threw it away somewhere.

He walked over to my bed and lay me on top of it. I propped myself up on my elbows while Acker examined my body.

"What?" I spoke after a while. "I swear if you're thinking about my brother..." Before I could finish my sentence, Acker grabbed my ankles and pulled me to him.

"I was enjoying the sight of the body I was going to destroy. I had been waiting for it for a long time." He put his finger on my chin and lifted it up so I could look at him as he stood. If I looked straight ahead I'd see his erection.

"I'm going to dry out here if you don't do something soon." I poked him.

"Oh really?" He cupped my cheeks with one hand and pulled me to my feet. He grabbed my hips and turned us around so that he stands closer to the bed.

He slowly slid his hands over to my jeans and unbuttoned them. He pulled them over my hips and took them off completely. I stepped out of them and stood in front of him only in my panties.

Even though I was almost naked, his gaze was only on my face. It shouldn't be doing what it's doing to me.

He fell on the bed and pulled me with him. He shifted me over one of his legs and held my hips tightly. He slowly started moving me on his thigh.

When he realized that I had started the movement myself, his hands went to my breasts. He tilted his head to my nipple and put it in his mouth.

My head fell back before I began to feel the wetness between my legs pass through the hem of my panties and in a moment it would be on his jeans. But that didn't stop my movements.

A loud moan came out of my mouth as he squeezed my nipple between his fingers and gently bit down on the other one.

"Acker." I don't even know what I wanted to say. Maybe the fact that I'm close, so close that... "What are you doing?" I said as he tossed me off just before I climaxed.

"I'm punishing you."

"For what?" I frowned.

"You kissed your friend."

"And you almost slept with someone else!"

"I know." He smiled. "You will punish me later." He grabbed my hips and threw me onto the bed.

His hand wandered to my panties and ran over the wet spot, almost forcing my thighs together.

I let out an irritated breath as his touch disappeared. He plays too much.

I looked up at him just as he took his shirt off over his head. I wanted to check out his tattoos, but my attention quickly drifted lower when he took off his jeans, leaving only his boxers with a proper erection.

He noticed where I was looking and a small smile appeared on his face. He slowly took off the last piece of clothing and the first thing I thought was that I should have slept with him much, much earlier.

I didn't even notice the condom in his hand until he started putting it on. And shit, if that wasn't sexy, I don't know what is.

He laughed as I slid my hands down to my panties and quickly took them off. If he had any plans to delay it any longer, he was out of luck.

I pulled his hand to me and felt his hard chest on me. I ran my hand over it until I felt his erection.

Acker let out a low groan which made me smile.

I slowly guided his erection to my opening and took a shaky breath as I felt the tip inside me.

"You're killing me, Maya." He whispered in my ear. "I'm not really in you yet and I would be able to..."

"Give it to me." I interrupted him. "Please." A soft laugh escaped his lips, but he listened to me.

His hips dropped all the way and he filled me.

"Shit." I moaned as I adjusted to his size.

"Fuck, Maya." He groaned as well and slowly began to move. He thrust gently at first until we both got used to it and then accelerated.

I wrapped my legs around his back so I could feel him closer to me. His mouth moved to my neck, which was sure to have a hickey on it, but it was more intense when he gently bit the same spot.

"Roll me over on my stomach." I moaned.

He obeyed without a word. He pulled out of me and flipped me over.

I smiled as he ran his finger over the tattoo just above my ass. I felt his weight on me again, his mouth against my ear. "The sex you got that tattoo after must've been horrible." He laughed. "But next time you want a tattoo, come see me."

Before I could say anything, he entered me again. And shit, how is it possible that it's bigger than before?

I squeezed the fabric of the sheet in my hands while he thrust into me from behind. My moans echoed through the room and probably the entire apartment as the door remained open.

His palm suddenly appeared on my ass and the place where it fell started to sting. It was a good pain. I think he noticed I liked it because he did it over and over again.

As time passed, Acker's hand appeared in my hair. He wrapped them around his palm and pulled with each thrust.

I began to clench around him as I got close and it was his loud moans that sent me over the edge.

He pulled out of me the moment I climaxed and I heard him take off the condom and felt his warm relief on my back.

I could only imagine him smiling behind my back while he looked at his work.

I stiffened as he ran his finger over the tattoo again, now under the layer of his cum. "I can't believe you got that tattooed." He laughed and so did I.

"What, you don't like it?" I looked over my shoulder at him so that everything wouldn't spill out of me onto the bed.

"I can say for sure that I have never seen anyone get the word HARDER tattooed above their butt." The corners of his mouth were in a smile.

"There's a first time for everything, Acker." I winked.

"I can see that." He looked at my face and I had a feeling he wasn't talking about my tattoo.
