Being that Jana and I have been friends for what seems like eternity (sometimes longer) we really don't pay much attention to what each other sleeps in because we just don't care. We found out though.. Nick, being male, notices these sort of things.
After the attack of the video fames in the morning, Jana decided to fix breakfast while Nick "took the dogs out" and showered. I went to change clothes and Jana asked Nick what she could fix him for breakfast... only to find out that he was spending some quality time with himself. My initial thought on Jana's discovery was, does he need any help?? Lemme at him!! Her theory was our less than full-coverage pajamas had some effect on him.. I was like, hell, I'll start sleeping naked and see what happens then! She and I were both hoping he chose to doze sans clothing.
While Master Chef Jana made the pancakes poor little toast-making me got into a conversation with Nick about one of my favorite video games, which turned out to be one of his faves, too. Hell yeah! A partner for all night Final Fantasy marathons! Jana doesn't understand the "educational" entertainment value of video games like I do.. hey, you have to think to figure them out, don't you?? I swear, Nick looks so much like Cloud Strife (the hottie in FF VII), he said he'd never heard that before, probably because he usually only plays with guys. (I had to snicker at that comment.. he only *plays* with guys? Hey, can I watch??)
After breakfast, possibly the most amazing sight until this point of my adult life was revealed to me. Nick and I saw Jana strolling along the water's edge and decided she needed a little dunking, which we were happy to provide her with. Jana got revenge by de-pantsing Nick... and I got quite the view.. oh my god.. the man is blessed.. holy hell... He blushed like crazy when Jana told him he had a great ass.. I didn't get to see that.. but was pretty much so
impressed by what I did see, I didn't care. Nick was kind enough to point out that Jana and I both looked like participants in a wet t-shirt contest and we took off into the house to change clothes.
While I was tossing my clothes in the dryer, I couldn't help but think of what I'd seen.. I'd known from the second I saw Nick that I was hopelessly infatuated with him. I mean, he was sweet, funny, just.. everything you could want.. but now.. I'd gone from just having a crush on him to being seriously lustful.. I wanted some of that, like very much badly. My only problem was going to be figuring out how to get it.

I decided to be as friendly as possible, start slow, test the waters.. see where things went. I knew he was single- he'd had a live-in girlfriend for a while, but something happened that he never seemed to want to talk about, which was fine with me.. I definitely understood the resistance to talk about past relationships (never ever ask me about Corey), so I left that alone. We became fast friends- all three of us. Jana and I both had things in common
with Nick- although I had some advantage there- I played basketball and video games- perfect opportunities to spend time with him- whereas Jana took the 'let's sit down and discuss things' approach, which worked okay too, because we really got to know each other that way, and had some great conversations. The three of us quickly fell into the habit of staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning just talking- about everything. Nick would talk about the places he'd been, people he'd met, the weirdness of being "famous", while Jana and I would talk about college adventures, or Nick's favorite- embarrassing stories about each other.. something neither of us lacked. Getting up for work after the all-night story fests was a bitch, but so worth it for the fun we had.
I managed not to pounce on Nick for about three months, but during that time I made absolutely no attempt to disguise the fact that getting on him was my intention. I flirted shamelessly- at first I think he was a little unsure of how to take it, but the more brazen I got, the better his responses became- he was more than okay with it. I think once he knew what I was hinting at- he was just waiting for it to happen.
Jana had to go back home for her niece's birthday party and was going to be gone for four days.. leaving Nick and I alone in the house. If that wasn't the perfect opportunity...
I was a little hesitant though, about seeing what I could start with him. I couldn't figure out how Jana was feeling about him.. it almost seemed like she was starting to like him in some way. But I didn't know if she was just warming up to him, accepting him as one of her good friends or falling for him in the same way I had. My main intent was indeed just to find out if sex with
him was as amazing as I imagined it would be.. but my crush-turned-extreme-case-of-lust got more complicated the more I knew about him. I didn't want to just try to be fuck-buddies if there was any chance of having some kind of actual relationship with him.. which I realized would make things horribly weird.. trying to be with him and still live with Jana.. so I figured what I'd just take what I could get and stick with the sex for the time being, since it was becoming obvious he was willing.
Jana left for home while I was at work, and that afternoon I came home to Nick sprawled on the couch, playing baseball on the DreamCast, a pug on each side of him. I moved Houston out of the way and plopped down beside him.
He turned to me, that half-smile, half-smirk that had come to have odd effects on me on his lips, "Wanna play?"
I grabbed the remote, turned off the tv, and took the controller from his hands. Suddenly bold, I rearranged myself, straddling his lap and kissed him. "Yeah, I do."
He returned my kiss and gave me a sexy grin, "This is my kinda game."
I got off him just long enough to slip out of my pants and let him yank off his tear-away pants (yes, he had gone commando!) before settling back on his lap, kissing him forcefully. Taking off my shirt would have taken too long and I didn't want to wait.
His hands were on either side of my face, holding me still to keep kissing me as I sank down onto his cock. He felt just as amazing as I thought he would. It was quick- it'd been too long for both of us, and we needed the rapid release, but it was good... really good. Feeling his hands all over my body as I slid up and down against him...
We came together.. that was a new one for me, a really cool new thing...our foreheads touched, we looked into each other’s eyes in disbelief. It'd been a slow build up, a long tease- and now we'd finally done it. He smiled and kissed me again, then hugged me to him- slipping his hands around my waist to lift my shirt off. I helped him get it off and leaned back a little as his lips explored my chest- each touch making my body tremble more.
I called in sick to work for the next two days- and Nick and I only left his bed long enough to grab food or shower (although that served dual purposes more than once.) It'd been a long time since I'd had someone to hold me at night, or a smiling face to wake up to.. and I was realizing I was in a bad spot. I was quickly falling in love with the situation... and with him.
The morning before Jana came home, we were lying in bed together, me partially draped across him while he played with my hair, and I asked what we were going to do when Jana got back.
Nick chuckled and kissed my forehead, "You're going to have to learn to be quiet."
I was going to reply with an indignant "excuse you!"- even though it was true, I did get pretty loud- but I couldn't- he'd rolled me over and was kissing me- completely clearing my mind of any thoughts other than what he was doing.
We finally managed to haul ourselves out of bed about three hours before Jana arrived, to hurriedly clean the house, which was more than a slightly unkempt looking after surviving our three-day fuck-fest.
I wasn't sure how things were going to be when Jana returned. I'd loved the days of being alone with Nick. Plus, it was going to be weird trying to keep a secret from her. Normally I told her absolutely everything, whether she wanted to hear it or not, but something told me she didn't really need to know that Nick and I knew each other more intimately than we had when she left.
Jana got home- anxious to tell us a million cute stories about her niece, which we gladly listened to. If she was talking we didn't have to worry about acting weird.
I didn't know what to do with myself. Nick and I had agreed to try to keep a safe distance from each other- no temptation (or so we'd thought at the time) and therefore give Jana no reasons to be suspicious. It was killing me though- going from what we had, unlimited access to each other- to 'when the hell are we going to be able to get together again?'
Jana went to bed pretty early that night, saying that she was tired from traveling, so Nick and I grabbed a blanket and snuck out to the beach.
Everything was so different that time- maybe it was being outside under the stars, the cool breeze, the sound of the ocean.. or that we'd gotten to the level of comfort and knowledge of each other that only lovers possess... or that we knew it may be a long time before we had another chance.. whatever it was.. was incredible.
We kissed goodnight and went to bed in our own rooms. I never did fall asleep that night... I missed his arms around me, hearing him breathing, feeling his warmth, his skin against mine...
I was lost. I knew I was falling in love, and now I had to try to hide it. From Nick- I didn't know how he felt about me and I wasn't going to jeopardize what I could have by trying to get more out of it than he was willing to give… and from Jana to prevent any potential weirdness.
This wasn't exactly what I'd had in mind when I suggested we get a housemate.
