"Does this mean I am your fuck buddy now?" Sherlyn mumbled the last part, but Ardeth heard it anyway.

"Shut up." Ardeth shouted getting down the bed anger clouding his features, "Don't say a word." He growled at Sherlyn, who was about to open her mouth, as he pulled on his basket ball shorts.

Sherlyn sat up on the bed wrapping the satin sheets around her naked body, as she watched Ardeth pace in the room with his hands fisted, taking deep breathes trying to calm himself.

"How dare you say that?" Ardeth shouted at Sherlyn and she flinched in fear, making Ardeth let out a string of inaudible profanities.

Taking a deep breathe, he walked closer to Sherlyn.

"Sherlyn, I like you." Ardeth breathed out, "I like you more than all the people in my life, fuck, I like you more than myself." He said looking at Sherlyn.

"You make me feel those things that no one ever made me feel, with you I feel at peace like I am finally at a place which I was searching for all my life. I like annoying you, I like holding your hand, I like the way you smile, you care, or even the way you almost stop yourself from strangling me." Ardeth let out a smile, and looked into Sherlyn's eyes, holding her hand, "I was confused about my feelings regarding you, but now I know."

"I love you Sherlyn." Ardeth said his aqua gaze holding her emerald eyes captive. "I don't know how or when but I started loving you, I am a fool, that I didn't realise it or may be I didn't have balls to accept the fact that I always knew."

Sherlyn looked at Ardeth still in shock.

"To answer you question, no, you are not the same as Brianna to me, because I didn't fuck you, I made love to you baby. It may sound cheesy but yeah, for the first time in my life I made love to someone, and I am happy that it is you." Ardeth said pecking Sherlyn's lips breaking her stupor, and Sherlyn broke down into tears.

"Sherlyn, what happened?" Ardeth asked holding her in his arms as he rubbed back, "Why are you crying baby?" He asked kissing her temple.

"I felt dirty after... thinking..." Sherlyn broke into sobs. "I know I gave my consent and all but still..."

"I am sorry, I was a mindless stupid motherfucker who made you feel that way." Ardeth kissed her tears away, as he held her in his arms whispering soothing words to her, as she cried.

"Don't cry." Ardeth said as he wiped away the tears from Sherlyn's face, "Have some water." He said giving the water glass to her.

Sherlyn took deep breathes still in Ardeth's arms.

"So..." Ardeth scrupled, "Do you love me?" He asked looking at her, his voice giving away his nervousness. "It's okay, if you don't feel the same way, I know I am not the greatest guy out there, I have my flaws..." Ardeth rambled.

Sherlyn pressed her lips against his making him stop his rambling.

"I love you, Ardeth." Sherlyn whispered against his lips.

"You do?" Ardeth asked shocked and Sherlyn nodded.

"Thank you, I love you more." Ardeth rasped as he hugged Sherlyn.

"Let me make love to you in a right way." Ardeth said as he tugged at the sheets wrapped around Sherlyn, Sherlyn nodded shyly as she loosened her grip on the sheets, making them pool around her.

Ardeth raised her face with his finger under her chin and kissed her forehead, eyes and nose, making her smile.

He layed her down on the bed as he kissed her lips, in a sweet, and sensual manner as if he is conveying his love through his kiss.

Breaking the kiss he moved down to her neck, and sucked on her pleasure spot making her moan in ecstasy. He kissed her nipples before gently sucking on them paying attention to both her nipples.

He gently tugged on her nipple with his teeth, "Ardeth." Sherlyn gasped making him chuckle, and place soothing kisses.

His fingers pried her wet holds and he rubbed her coating his fingers with her juices. Sherlyn ran her fingers through his hair as she gripped him in a tight hold.

Moving up he kissed her on her lips.

"I love you Sherlyn." Ardeth said as his fingers replaced his sheathed member in her nether regions, moving past her wet folds.

"I love you, Ardeth." Sherlyn smiled looking into his eyes as he pushed his full length inside her in a solid thrust making her cry in pleasure.

"Go faster." Sherlyn cried as she pulled on Ardeth's hair making him moan in pleasure, and move faster.

"Ardeth, I am coming." Sherlyn cried as she felt the familiar pleasure build up.

"Wait for me." Ardeth said as he increased his thrusts, his own orgasm building up.

"Now, baby." Ardeth said as he gave one hard thrust making her reach her orgasm, gripping him in a tight hold triggering his own peak of pleasure as both came undone.

"Let me prepare the bath for you." Ardeth said after a few minutes, pulling his boxers. "You stay here." He kissed her walked inside the bathroom.

Sherlyn layed in Ardeth's bed basking the glory of aftermath as she relieved the moments of pleasure that Ardeth made her feel.

"The bath's ready." Ardeth announced as he walked out of the bathroom.

Sherlyn tried to stand up and hissed due to the soreness in her lower parts.

"Let me help you." Ardeth said carried her in his arms bridal style, and placed her in the warm bubble bath.

"Aren't you going to join me?" Sherlyn asked holding Ardeth's hand.

"You want me to?" Ardeth asked and Sherlyn nodded.

Taking off his boxers, Ardeth got down into the bath tub slipping behind Sherlyn, her back leaning against his chest. He rubbed his hands over her shoulders massaging her, trying to relieve the stressed muscles, making her let out a sigh of relief, and relax against him.

Ardeth helped Sherlyn climb out of the bathtub and wrapped a towel around himself and her. He lifted and placed her on the sink, as he dried himself.

"Are you still in pain?" Ardeth asked looking worried.

"A bit sore, nothing that I can't handle." Sherlyn assured.

"Wait here, while I fetch you some clothes." Ardeth said handing Sherlyn a dry towel, as he walked out of the bathroom.

Sherlyn dried herself with the towel Ardeth gave her, when Ardeth walked inside the bathroom in his track pants, his upper body left bare.

"You can wear my shirt, while I put your clothes in dry." Ardeth said giving her his shirt and shorts.

Sherlyn stood infront of the mirror as Ardeth leaned against the door watching her. She loosened the grip on the towel, making it fall down at her feet. Ardeth's eyes never leaving hers as she wore his shirt, that reached her mid thigh.

Ardeth pushed himself off the door frame walking towards Sherlyn in predatory steps and turned her around to face him.

"Let me help you." Ardeth said pointing at the shirt buttons.

He traced the Love bite he left under he collor bone that was turning dark, he began to button the shirt, his fingers occasionally grazing her skin, sending tingles all over body.

Sherlyn blushed and hugged Ardeth, he kissed her over her head as he hugged her back.

"I am happy." Sherlyn smiled, her face resting in the crook of his neck.

"Me too." Ardeth smiled, and Sherlyn's stomach grumbled making her turn pink in embarassment.

"Come let's cook something to feed you." Ardeth said as they walked towards the kitchen.

"I should go home now." Sherlyn giggled pushing Ardeth away as he tried to kiss her again, after he parked his car a few yards away from her home.

"Can't you come back and stay with me tonight?" Ardeth asked holding her hand.

"No, I can't." Sherlyn shook her head laughing.

Ardeth sighed.

"I want to take you out on a date tomorrow." Ardeth said kissing Sherlyn's knuckles. "Will you come out on a date with me?"

"Sure." Sherlyn smiled and stepped out of the car. "See you tomorrow." She waved.

"See you tomorrow." Ardeth said pressing his lips against her forehead, and lingered them for a while before he pulled away. "Take care, bye." He said slipping inside his car and drove away.

Sherlyn waved her hand and turned around to head to her home, when she saw Marcie looking her standing a few feet away.
