“Of course, I love you,” I whispered, my voice trembling with desire as I looked into Gabriel’s intense gray eyes. “But you need to be careful. We can’t let my brother find out.”

He pressed me firmly against the wall, his lips brushing my ear. “I’m always careful, my little doll,” he murmured, his voice raw with need. “But right now, this man” he pointed at his hard member “needs to be inside that sweet pu**y of yours.” With a swift, passionate movement, he lifted me and laid me gently on the bed, his kiss deepening as he circled his tongue all over my mouth.

[Ava]

“Logan!!Logan!!” I screamed, my voice echoing through the hallway, I know you can hear me! You've started again right, Logan!! Give me my AirPods or else I'm going to go over to your room and pack all your new clothes, Don't dare me,”

“You're my elder brother for crying out loud!!! I should be borrowing from you, not the other way round,” I screamed at the top of my voice as I slowly climbed down the stairs.

“I hope this is not one of your games. You're hiding right, I'm going to catch you, and if I do, you're dead Logan you are!!!”

I stormed into the kitchen, my heart racing with frustration. But my anger vanished the moment I saw him. Gabriel, my brother's best friend. The man I'd been secretly lusting after for years. The one I'd been too afraid to face since I moved down here in Switzerland, fearing my feelings would be exposed.

And now here he was standing in front of me, shirtless, his chiseled body glistening with a bit of sweat that made him look like he just walked out of a magazine cover. This man is doing a lot to me that I'm sure if he ever finds out, he will think I'm going crazy.

His gray eyes locked into mine and I felt my soul tremble. My mouth went dry, I swallowed hard trying to quench this taste in me, my knees weakened, making my heart skip countless times.

“Hi Ava,” he greeted, his eyes still piercing through my soul, I could not fucking find any words, my eyes were fixed on his muscular chest, and his presence was making my skin tingle.

Ava, you won't run out this time, never, you have to stand firm, you're not a kid anymore, you're fucking twenty-two, you aren't stepping any fucking inch from here, I thought to myself, just then I found my voice to respond to him.

“Hi Gabriel, g..o…good…morning,” fuck that's it, I can't, I just can't stand this man, he's doing a lot to me, I'm such a coward.

“I..d…didn't know you came around, it's nice to have you,” I tried sounding composed, not like I hadn't seen him a few weeks ago

“I just dropped by, I wanted to speak with your brother, but he left in a haste, I'm making some pasta, do you care for some.,” He asked, his eyes scanning through my body.

I slowly looked down at my clothes, oh my God, was this what I stepped out with, my cheek suddenly flushed with embarrassment, my Nike top clung to my body and my tiny nightie shorts seemed to shrink even further.

“No I'm good, when did he leave, did he say where he was going,” I asked with concern etched over my tone, my brother Isn't one to leave without letting me know about his whereabouts.

“Yes he got a call from the office, so he rushed out early but he said he would be back soon.” He spoke gently, his eyes scanning my body and suddenly fixed on my hair.

What is he looking at?

He took a few steps forward, coming directly to me, his gray eyes still fixed on my hair, my heart was racing, and I felt my face heat up as he took more steps, standing just an inch away from me, his chest almost brushing on mine.

I stood frozen unable to move, what was he trying to do? I shut my eyes, unable to take hold of how close he was coming, I felt his hands on my hair, his breath grazed the side of my ear, and I felt weak between my thighs. Only if he knew what he does to me all the time.

“Here, Ava,” his gentle and masculine voice brought me out of my trance, “you had this on your hair.”

“Oh…t..t…thank you, I... I'll head over to my room, enjoy your breakfast,” I replied as I took the strand of my knitting wool from him, I must have mistakenly left it on my pillow after knitting.

Without waiting for his reply, I rushed out of the kitchen, storming the stairs. I couldn't believe I'd been caught off guard by my crush, the one man that is slowly driving me crazy, looking like a whole mess In front of the one person I wanted to impress.

I dashed into my room, slamming the door shut behind me, I leaned against the door trying to catch my breath. My mind raced with the thought of him, his chiseled face, his sexy gray eyes that drove me crazy anytime I looked into it. I couldn't believe he had just seen me looking all messy.

I took a deep breath, and the picture of his lips when he came close to me came playing back in my head, if only this man knew how crazy I was about him, if only.

I felt something dripping in between my thighs, I bit my bottom lip and licked my upper lip with my tongue. Just seeing him this way makes me wet. What happens when I happen to spread my legs wide open for him to bang me so hard…

“Oh yeah.” I moaned under my breath, and I could feel my nipple hardening. I slid my hands into my shorts and I was damn right, this pussy is getting wet again just thinking about Gabriel.

I moved towards my bed and lay down with my back, I pulled down my shorts and slowly licked my hands, I closed my eyes while I pictured his masculine arbs, the way he was fucking shirtless staring at me, I felt like devouring him, I felt like bouncing on him and making him give me a piece of that rod down in between his legs.

I spread my legs open, this is what Gabriel has been doing to me, This is how crazy he drives me. I pulled my hands out of my mouth and slid them down my entrance. I tapped on it hard, the wetness on it making a puffy sound.

I traced down my lips and flopped it, rolling it in a circular motion, my eyes were slowly going into my head, I pulled out and slid my hand back to my mouth making it more wet, as I settled it back to my pussy.

I traced back my clit and slowly rubbed on it, I was going slow and steady, the pictures of Gabriel were all I could see in my closed eyes. I could imagine him spreading my legs wide open, I could imagine him making me moan his name.

“Fuck," I felt my orgasm building up, I went faster, I felt like grabbing my nipples while I fucking do this, I tossed my top off my neck, leaving me fully naked.

I traced my hands back to my clit to continue my ministration, rubbing it hard, I slapped my nipples, I could imagine how pink and hard it is right now, I pulled it closer to my mouth as I bent to take my left nipple in my mouth, I rolled my tongue around it,

“Oh gosh this is so good,” I moaned under my nipple, not letting go of it, I fucking sucked it hard, rubbing my clit harder, my eyes going deeper into my head. "Gabriel I want you so badly."

“I'm going to cum, I'm going to cum,” I moaned as I increased my pace and I rubbed it harder.

“Gosh, what the fuck,” the sudden sound of my door made me jump up as I pulled my hands off my pussy, I immediately moved closer to the edge of the bed pulling my duvet to cover my body.

“Gabriel…what…what…what are you doing here,” I asked, my voice barely audible.

I could swear he saw me, he saw everything, he saw how I was salivating myself, would he know it was because I saw him? Will he figure out how I feel about him? What is he doing here?

“Ava, I..I…I'm sorry, I actually called you twice but you didn't answer, I had to check if you were inside” He stood there still shirtless in my room, what is this guy turning me into?

“What do you want?” I asked, frustration etched in my tone, I didn't like the fact that he saw me touching myself, he might be thinking that I am a fucking pervert, that just started touching herself, minutes after seeing a shirtless man in her kitchen.

He slowly closed the door behind him and gently walked towards me, his eyes not leaving mine. I don't know if I was imagining or if what I was seeing in his gray eyes were lust, he bit his bottom lips as he took more steps forward, I clogged the duvet closer to my body.

What is he up to?

- Missing Her

[Ava]

I watched as he walked in, gently coming towards me, his eyes burning with a passionate yearning , I don't know if I was seeing right or if it was my imagination.

But I wasn't ready to make him think I'm such a loose girl that is lusting over her elder brother's friend who is about eight years older than her.

I was about to tell him to leave, when his voice broke the silence, reducing the tension in the room.

“Here, Logan said he has been calling you and you're not taking his calls,” he said, handing me his phone while he unmuted it.

What was I thinking, that he would want to have a thing with me? I am such a fool

“Hey little demon, why are you not picking up your call?” My brother Logan screamed on the phone.

“Brother to a little demon, do I owe you any explanation on that, meanwhile I've warned you, Logan, stop calling me that name, I swear one day I'm going to behead you,” I screamed back at him.

I looked at Gabriel with my side eyes and noticed how his lips curved up to a smile.

“Mummy called me and said she has been trying to reach you since last night,” he said. I had forgotten I plugged my phone beside the dining area when I was eating last night and I've had this habit of always muting my phone.

“Oh, I'll go get it right now and call her back, hope everything is ok Logan, is she alright?” I asked concern edged in my tone.

“She's fine, call her and find out for yourself, bye!!!, And meanwhile, make lunch for me my little demon,” he chuckled and ended the call.

I sighed, he's not serious at all, as if he didn't know I had to go to work. Make lunch for him indeed.

“Thanks, I didn't know my phone was ringing,” I handed the phone back to Gabriel.

He smiled, showing me his sexy deep dimples and he immediately turned to leave, I took a deep breath. I know he had seen me, why didn't I fucking lock my door.

“Fuck!!! This is so embarrassing!!!!” I screamed under my pillow, making sure to let out all my frustration.

I stood up, reached for my wardrobe, and took a knee-length black gown that covered every path of my body very well. I was too embarrassed to wear anything revealing right now.

I stormed down the stairs, heading directly to the dining area, I unplugged my phone and I had just received ten missed calls, from my mum, my dad, and Remi's mother.

My heart tightened by the thought of that name, the reason I decided to relocate here in Switzerland. I had sworn to find whoever murdered my best friend, that beast he was dating that I had tried my best to find but was always met with utmost silence. I would fight with my last blood if it meant bringing him to face the consequences of his actions

I dialed my mother's number, to find out why she was calling, the first one went unanswered and by the second ring, she picked up.

“Mummy!!!!” I chuckled on the phone, as she picked up. I'm sorry mummy, I kept my phone a bit far from me.”

“My Angel, you don't scare me like that, I was worried, even Logan did not pick up his call last night, he had just picked up this morning,” her voice was filled with genuine concern

“I'm sorry mummy, it wasn't intentional,” I tried teasing her to make her laugh.

“I miss you mummy, I miss you so much,” I said to her.

“I miss you more my angel, meanwhile are you going to Remi's house today or tomorrow?” She asked, and I suddenly felt a lump in my throat.

She continued, “Is ok Mama, Remi would never be happy to see that for the past five years, you've not been genuinely happy, if there's anything she wants from you, it's for you to be happy,”

I felt tears slip down my cheeks, I scoffed, raising my head to avoid hurting my eyes this morning, I wouldn't want to go to work today with puffy eyes.

“I'm ok mummy, I'm fine, actually I'll be going to her house tomorrow, her mother already called me,” I tried sounding strong, even when I knew I wasn't.

We talked for a little while then she hung up, I called Remi's mum back and she told me to get some things for her on my way coming, the supermarket was closer to my house than theirs.

I dropped my phone on the dining table and pulled a chair to sit down. Is it so easy to forget you Remi? How can I be happy when your boyfriend who murdered you Is nowhere to be found and the whole city is keeping quiet like they have been silenced?

I clenched my fist, my mind racing with ways to uncover the truth about my best friend's death, I wouldn't rest until justice was served.

How can I possibly live without you? How can I go on without you? This was not what we planned, cupcake, it wasn't, I miss you so much Remi.

I felt my eyes blur. I was trying so hard not to cry, but how possible? Tomorrow makes it five years since my sister from another mother left me. She left me, She did. I laid my head down on the table and just in seconds sleep took over me.

I felt a hand grab me and carried me in a bridal style, I slightly opened my eyes and the person I saw was the one person I wanted to see in this condition, but I felt so bad knowing this was a dream.

“Gabriel, I know this is a dream but I wish you could carry me like this, I wish you could be with me,” I murmured under my breath

I felt my back on a soft surface, he was still right there In front of me.

“I'm sorry Gabriel, but since this is a dream, can I take advantage of you a bit,” I smiled, pulling him close while I kissed him, I chuckled, as I let go of his neck, and turned to continue my sweet dreams.

I felt his presence beside me, he wrapped his arms around me and slowly kissed my neck. I pulled his hands closer to my waist, wrapping it tighter on me. I prayed that this dream wouldn't end.

“Gabriel, are you so dumb to notice how I feel about you?” I murmured under my breath.

“Why do you hurt me so much by pretending that I don't exist,” I continued pouring my heart out.

_______

The sound of the loud music had me rolling on my bed from one end to the other. I tried to continue my sleep but the music was getting louder every minute.

I opened my eyes, wiped my eyes with the back of my palm, I slowly sat up, picked up my phone from the side of the bed, and looked at the time, my eyes widened at the sight of the time, 2 pm

I tried to remember how I got into my bedroom. I had fallen asleep on the dining table, I was sure of it.

I stormed out of my room, my feet storming against the stairs with frustration. I didn't see my brother in the sitting room, but I caught sight of a glass of wine that was almost finished. I shook my head wondering why Logan didn't even bother waking me up knowing I had work today, or was he not yet back?

I went to the kitchen to fetch myself some water. My head needed it at this point, I caught sight of my eyes on the refrigerator glass mirror, and I know I must have continued crying in my sleep, my eyes looked so puffy and swollen.

I took out a bottle of water and gulped it down in one go.

I moved to the spoon rack and took out a small iron spoon to massage my swollen eyes, I covered my left eye with the spoon, while I moved back to check on Logan, I wondered why he didn't bother to check up on me, it's 2 pm and I'm certain he should be back by now.

I went straight to the music and lowered it to the lowest. “Why didn't you wake me up, Logan? You knew I had work today!” I exclaimed, but there was no response. I stormed into Logan's room and slammed it open, but the sight that was staring back at me made my heart jump.

“Gosh!!” I screamed, I couldn't believe what my eyes were fixed on, no way!!!

- I want to see your lovely face

[Ava]

I shut the door immediately, staring at the door frame like a lost sheep. I felt my legs weaken. Gabriel was stepping out of Logan's bathroom with nothing on his body, his eyes locked in mine, he didn't even bother to close the monster that he had down there that was staring back at me.

I was able to put some strength back in my legs and rush back upstairs, I was still storming up the stairs when I felt footsteps following behind me, I increased my pace, my thoughts swirled in a jumbled mix of emotions, making it hard to focus

Was he mad at me that I saw him naked? Shouldn't he have locked the doors, knowing he's not the only one in this house? I would have just respected my brother when he said I should always knock on his door before barging in.

What Gabriel had down there was not what I was expecting or imagined, it looked way huge, fuck…I was about to push my door open when a hand held me back and pinned me against the wall with my hands raised above my head.

“Why are you running Ava,” he spoke gently with his husky voice, the way he dimmed his eyes, was setting my body on fire.

“Gabriel, w-why will I run,” I couldn't find the right words to comprehend what was going on in my head. My eyes were also making matters worse. He was just tying a white towel on his waist, and his broad chest which was exposed was driving me insane.

Water droplets glistened in his hair, each one like a tiny diamond that caught the light and made him look irresistibly sexy. I couldn't help but devour him with my eyes. I looked at him from head to toe, not even noticing that he had been talking all this while, he suddenly called my name making me snap out of my trance.

“Ava, you're not saying anything, why were you running,” he asked again, his voice deepening.

I tried to loosen his grip on my hands but it was to no avail.

“I'm sorry I barged in, I didn't know you were still around, I was just mad at Logan for not waking me up. I already missed work yesterday and I wasn't supposed to miss today,” I tried explaining.

“Logan is not yet back, he called and said a few meetings held him back and talking about waking you up, you cried yourself to sleep and I had to bring you upstairs,” he said, as he let go of my hands, but still left me pinned to the wall.

“You..you, were the one that carried me upstairs,” I looked at him trying to make sure I just heard right.

“Yes I did,” he twisted his lips and bit his bottom lip trying so hard to maintain a serious face.

So it wasn't a dream, did I confess to him? Was that why he was trying to laugh? still lost in my thoughts, I felt his hands on my hair, tucking in some strands of hair at the back of my ear.

“What are you thinking little doll,” he asked, his voice deepening more. I felt a cold shiver run down my spine, I clogged my two legs together trying to hold onto this very pussy of mine that wouldn't stop misbehaving at the sight of this man.

His eyes went down to my thighs, noticing how hard I was trying to keep myself together. He came closer to me, wrapping his hands around my waist. He pulled me closer to him and stared into my eyes. I felt a scorching sweat trickle down my forehead, pooling at my temples.

He brought his lips closer to my forehead and placed a kiss on it. My breath slowed, and my shoulders relaxed as a gentle tranquility settled within me, he stared into my eyes and his eyes went down to my lips.

He pulled me closer and took in my lips in his, his tongue tracing the outline of my lips, asking for permission to explore further, I opened my mouth a bit and he slipped his tongue inside, sending shivers down my spine, he devoured my lips, biting my upper lips, circling his tongue all over my mouth, he got hold of my tongue and sucked on it hard, making me moan on his mouth

He pushed me further to himself leaving no space between us, I could sense his arousal pressed against me, I clutched my thighs tighter, I could feel my juices flowing, wetting my thighs.

My hands roamed all over his broad chest, and I couldn't help but moan louder in his mouth. He pulled back, and I was breathing heavily as he stared deep into my eyes. He was about to say something when the doorbell rang.

I pushed him off immediately without thinking, his eyes widened in stunned incredulity, he shook his head and a sly charming smile escaped his lips, I stood frozen still staring at him.

“It must be your brother, I'll open up the door for him,” he said and walked out heading to the stairs, his eyes went down to his dick and he turned and looked at me and I was still stupidly staring at him.

He mouthed a word but I couldn't hear whatever he just said. I breathed out. I pushed my door open and walked inside, I closed it while turning the doorknob to make sure it was closed.

I didn't know what to feel at this point, happy, sad, scream or just shut up. Did he come to me because I saw him naked or was it because I confessed my feelings to him thinking I was in a dreamland?

____

I spent the rest of the evening inside my room, even when my brother Logan called me, I pretended to be asleep, I didn't know how to face Gabriel, I was wishing he had gone by now.

I was rolling on my bed from one end to the other, I was smiling and I couldn't get the thought of Gabriel's lips off me, he tasted so good, if his lips tasted this good then how would that rod he had down there taste, I shook my head, shaking off the dirty thought that had consumed me

The buzzing of my phone brought me out

of my trance, snapping me back to reality. I unlocked it and my heart sank as I saw the calendar reminder, tomorrow was the anniversary of Remi's death. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, just then another message bumped in and I scrolled up and it was Gabriel, this was his first time texting me, we had each other's number because my brother uses my phone to call him sometimes and I had saved it a long time ago.

My sadness vanished immidiately, replaced by a flutter in my chest. “Come down let's have dinner, I made some food for you, I want to see your lovely face before I leave,” My heart raced as I read the words, and I smiled wondering what he meant by this.

Was he missing me?

I stepped down from my bed and rushed to the mirror to check my outfit, I was putting on a blue short jeans and my favorite soccer club Red Jersey, I tucked the Jersey in a bit from the left side, I wanted to make sure my ass was showing and not fully covered, I tied my long brown wavy hair in a messy bun

I rushed out of the room and made my way downstairs, smiles still plastered on my face, I could feel his gaze on me as he sighted me, he was seated in the dining with his phone in his hands, and my brother Logan was seated beside him, I walked up to the dining and greeted my brother and greeted Gabriel too, I greeted him casually like we weren't devouring each other's lips some moments ago.

I sat down opposite Gabriel, and I took my plate and scooped out the white rice and chicken sauce that was on the dining table. I know Gabriel must have made it even if he didn't tell me because I know my brother was a very bad cook.

Gabriel's legs tickled me under the table and I couldn't help but blush, I felt my brother's eyes on me.

“Little demon, are you sick? Why are your cheeks coloring all of a sudden? Are you under the weather? He asked, a hint of amusement in his voice

I rolled my eyes at him and fixed them back on my food, the next thing he did made my pulse spike.

He picked up Gabriel's phone as if he had been trying to get hold of it for some time.

“Logan give me back my phone,” Gabriel's voice rang in my ears as he tried to get the phone back from Logan

“Never!!! I noticed how you were staring at your phone for close to twenty minutes before you started typing, it seems my best friend got a new catch,” he used one of his hands to block Gabriel while he turned the other side trying to go to a certain place on his phone.

Gabriel who tried dragging it with him and didn't want to push it further, gave up, he turned towards me and furrowed his eyebrows while twisting his lips, I looked at him pleading with my eyes for him to take the phone back from Logan, once Logan sees the message that Gabriel sent me, there is no way he wouldn't suspect or conclude that something is going on between us.

My spoon suddenly fell from my hand as I heard my brother gasp for air, his eyes widened and his eyebrows shot up as he stared at Gabriel, I was waiting for him to turn his focus on me but his eyes were locked on Gabriel.

I felt my heart tightening, this is bad, my brother can not find out, not when I feel my heart's desires about his best friend are about to come true. He suddenly broke the silence, putting the phone on Gabriel's face and his question made my heart twist more.

“Gabriel, what is this?”
