CHAPTER ONE

BLAKE

"What is your take on that? Eve asks me, but I know she would rather hear what Vinny has to say. We have been hanging out for a couple of hours, and I am getting bored. I decide to get a little experimental and stir things up. I secretly hope my evil plan will be accepted with open arms.

"Honestly, I haven't been listening to what you two are yapping about," I say with a bored but intense look on my face. Eve gives me a slight side smile, amused at how arrogant I am. Vinny just looks at Eve and answers her, "I think that is a great idea to….." I interrupt, "Didn't you hear? I am bored!" I state, still wearing my bored face.

"You are such a bitch! You know that?" Vinny whines but I ignore him; he constantly whines. He is so repressed I can literally taste his sad energy. "I love you too, Vin," I say as I get up from my one-person sofa and saunter to Eve. Maintaining eye contact, "I have been consumed by the thoughts of how kissing you would feel or taste like."

They both swallow hard and heavy. Eve doesn't break eye contact. She just gives me an evil smile and pouts her lips. This is why I love this girl; she mirrors me in more ways than one. Before kissing her, I turn slightly and wink at Vinny in the same breathe, claim Eve's puckered lips in a deep kiss. I invade her mouth with my tongue without asking her permission and she lets me without missing a beat.

After a few long minutes, we break our kiss and come up for air. We are both out of breath. Eve's lips are so soft and a little swollen now from how roughly I began the kiss. We maintain eye contact for a few seconds. In her eyes, I see admiration and affection, she likes me. Eve loves me because she sees in me a lady who isn't afraid of going after what she wants. Something she desperately wishes for herself. 'I am here to help you get everything you have ever wanted' my eyes try to tell her but I break the connection since I can't make that promise. I am not God, I do not give people anything and secondly, I do not want to get too attached to her or any of them.

Vinny clears his throat, letting us know he is still in the room. I am now kneeling between Eve's legs as we both turn our attention to the boy who incurably wants to kiss the lips I just kissed. I go a mile further and rest my forehead against hers and snake my left arm loosely around her throat. She catches on and takes in a sharp breathe causing her breasts to move up and down. Vinny watches, his lips slightly parted as a sheen of sweat covers his forehead. He is turned on. For a virgin, he must be almost busting a nut in his trousers.

"You want to taste Eve's lips too?" I ask with feigned innocence. Eve giggles beside me but she doesn't protest, she must be curious as well. My inner self does a slight evil celebratory dance. I am excited! I want it to happen.

Vinny sits up his love seat and shakes his head no. He elaborates, "I am in a relationship,,,,with your best friend," he emphasizes 'your' pointing at Eve. Shit! He is guilt-tripping her and they haven't even done anything yet. Could I have overstepped this time? Was I wrong trying to get them to betray everything and everyone for a few selfish moments? I feel Eve reside in her seat away from me. His little tone has worked. Fuck! In a panicked state, I try and redeem my evil plan, "Of course we know you are dating Vin! It is just a kiss, you are such a puritanical bore." I roll my eyes at him and make sure to kiss Eve before I stand up. And for effect, I bite and pull her bottom lip as I stand. I know Vinny is a smart mouth but that little action just rendered him speechless. Eve blushes and bites on her thumb like she always does when she's feeling naughty or simply thinking.

I return to my blue sofa and scan the room. I have seen this room so many times but I never really looked at it, if you know what I mean. Eve's apartment is girly and flowery. It looks like a flower company puked all over this apartment. Floral utensils, beddings, carpet, everything has flowers on them. Pink, yellow, blue, red and white roses, lilies, forget-me-nots,,, so many flowers. Despite the flower catastrophe, it is so comfortable being here. I enjoy visiting her when I feel too lonely in my own place. I even come over when she's not around and watch her television. I think this girl has gotten into my skin way too much.

As my eyes reach the pink and blue curtains, Vinny jumps up and advances Eve. "What the hell!" Those are the last words he gives breathe to before claiming her mouth in a possessive kiss. I must say I am shocked by his actions even though I wanted him to kiss her. I somehow thought he was stronger than that. I might be evil and dead inside but I have faith in humanity. I believe in the goodness in people and a little tiny part of me wanted Vinny to never kiss Eve when he was still dating Neema. But what the hell! Who cares! The damage is done, they are kissing and I am jubilant! I will burn in hell later.

They kiss like their life depends on it, like they were dying to do it for so long and they finally got a chance to let their frustrations out. I watch silently as Vinny practically climbs over Eve like he wants to climb inside of her. I watched mesmerized as Eve lets him touch, kiss, feel and mourn all over her. She must have had a little crush on him too because she is also grabbing and pulling and begging for more of him. I must confess, I am turned on, a lot turned on by their actions. Okay, the fact that my evil plan worked also is doing things to my nether regions, delicious things. I debate if I should join them but I remain in my seat and watch, my fingers between my teeth, stopping me from rubbing quick one out.

In a few minutes, they have less clothes than they started with. They have forgotten I am even here. The bottom half still has clothes and I am a little glad Eve has a trouser and not one of those short dresses she loves. I can't look away let alone walk out of the room. Eve winks at me, for a slight second, I think I have imagined it but she smiles and licks her lips as she looks me straight in my eyes. What? What does she mean? I am confused since in all my messed-up planning I didn't account for a three-way. I feel sorry for Vinny because I start to walking towards them like I wasn't in control of my body and kissed that evil smile off Eve's face. Vinny like a blood thirsty predator doesn't mind I have joined in. I even suspect he isn't a virgin as he claims. Most virgin men would have poured their load by now. "Let" s take this to the bed," I say as I pull Vinny off Eve. He is like a dog with a bone and I was right, he really does fancy her.

I lead him to the bedroom as Eve follows giggling like a little girl. It is twilight and Neema is about to start calling and texting, looking for her man. I feel sorry and guilty for betraying her this much. I am ashamed of myself but I will deal with her issues later, right now, it's time to fuck!

I find my fingers trailing down my body trying to seek some kind of relief from the pressure that has been building. I am very aware that I have no interest in sleeping with Vinny or Eve but their actions are driving me crazy. I make a mental note to text some guy to come to my place tomorrow.. It looks like they are having an intimate moment and I am only an obstruction. I quietly slip out and head to watch a movie.

I am shaking from the events of the evening. Adrenaline is coursing through my veins and I am afraid of making sudden moves and don't even know why. I manipulate people for a living, why am I so affected by what Eve and Vin just did? I ignore the phone calls, I do not even care to check who is calling. I remain transfixed on the sofa, watching nothing in particular, I fall asleep on the couch curled up like a little child afraid of the dark. Before drifting off to sleep, I make a mental note that the two didn't leave the bedroom all night. I bet they had a few rounds of intercourse as they realized how perfect they were for each other. I also made a mental note to remind Eve to get morning-after pills tomorrow to avoid more drama than anyone is ready for.
