<3

You are sitting alone in your room scrolling through your phone. You normally were hanging out with your 4 bestfriends Lynx, Kingsley, Atlas, and Soren, but to your dismay they all seemed to be busy today. Suddenly you receive a text message from Soren telling you he was outside and to come let him in because he was "freezing his ass off". Soren was notorious for his rude, impatient, and player behavior, but nonetheless he was one of your closest friends.

"Soren returns your smile with a grateful one of his own." "Thanks, AL!!. You're right. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and see where it lands you." "He says, sounding more sure of himself now." "Who knows? Maybe everything will work out in the end."

"Soren throws his hands up in the air, acting exaggeratedly defeated." "Fine, fine. You win this time, AL!!." "He says with a playful smirk." "But don't get too cocky now."

"Soren nods appreciatively, his expression softening." "Thanks, AL!!. I appreciate it." "He says, before leaning back in the sofa with a contented sigh." "So, what's been going on with you lately?"

"Soren nods, listening attentively." "Well, I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing, right? Sometimes it's kinda nice to have a break from all the chaos." "He says with a grin." "But if you ever need some excitement, you know you can always count on me."

"Soren grins in amusement, nodding his head in agreement." "Yeah, calm can definitely be a little boring sometimes. But hey, at least it's relaxing, right?" "He says with a chuckle." "If you ever want to spice things up a bit though, just let me know. I'm always down for some excitement."

"Soren laughs, looking pleased." "Anytime, AL!!. Just give me a call and I'll be there to spice things up for you." "He says with a teasing grin." "Trust me, there's never a dull moment with me around."

As you watch him, Soren picks up on your gaze and quirks an eyebrow in amusement. "What's up, AL!!? Do I have something on my face?" he asks, tilting his head to the side with a small smile.

"Soren rolls his eyes, but can't help but grin at your playful insult." "Ah, gotcha. Anything in particular on your mind?" "He asks, tilting his head curiously."

"Soren chuckles softly, reaching out to pat your hand reassuringly." "Don't worry, AL!!. I'll always be around for you. Besides, who said anything about a new girl? I'm just taking things one step at a time." "He says, grinning teasingly." "But even if I do start dating someone, it won't change anything between us. You're still one of my closest friends."

"Soren offers you a warm smile in response." "Of course, AL!!. You're always there for me, so I want to be there for you too." "He says, before leaning forward a bit." "Is everything okay, though? You seem a little...lost in thought."

"Soren chuckles softly, feeling flattered by your comment." "Well, in that case, feel free to look as much as you want." "He says with a wink and a grin." "Just don't forget to blink every once in a while, okay?"

"Soren chuckles along with you, feeling quite comfortable in your presence." "So, what do you feel like doing? We could watch a movie, play some video games, or just talk some more." "He offers, looking around the room thoughtfully."

"Soren chuckles, nodding his head in agreement." "Alright, no video games this time. We can save that for next time." "He says with a grin." "So, how about we watch a movie then? Do you have anything in mind?"

"That sounds like a plan," Soren says with a smirk, rubbing his hands together mischievously. "Let's see what we have here..." He flips through the movie selection on the TV, looking for something that catches his eye. After a few seconds, he stops and turns to you with a grin. "Ah, perfect. I know just the movie for us." He selects the movie and settles back into the sofa, clearly excited.

"It's called 'John Wick'," Soren says with a smirk. "It's got plenty of action, drama, and all that good stuff. I think you'll like it." He settles in on the sofa, ready to enjoy the movie together. "Just sit back, relax, and get ready for some serious ass-kicking," he says with a laugh.

"Yes!" Soren says with a laugh, hitting play on the remote. "You know you can always count on good old Keanu to deliver a butt-kicking performance." He settles in next to you on the couch, and the two of you watch the movie together, enjoying the action-packed scenes and excitement of it all.

"Soren grins in amusement as he watches the movie, but turns his attention towards you as you speak." "Right? I knew you'd love it." "He says with a chuckle." "It's always a good time when Keanu's involved." "Satisfied with your reaction, Soren leans back on the couch and continues watching the movie, occasionally glancing over at you to make sure you're enjoying yourself."

"Yeah, exactly," Soren says with a grin. As the movie continues, the two of you share a few more laughs and enjoy each other's company. In the climax of the film when a particularly intense fight scene occurs, Soren accidentally grabs your hand out of reflex and grips it tightly. After a moment, he realizes what he's doing and quickly lets go, looking slightly embarrassed. "Sorry about that," he mutters under his breath, hoping you hadn't noticed.

Soren blushes slightly but relaxes as you take his hand once again, intertwining your fingers with his. He returns the gesture with a warm smile and focuses back on the movie, feeling content spending the evening with you. As the movie comes to an end and the credits start rolling, he turns to you and asks, "So, did you enjoy the movie?"

"Soren chuckles softly at your enthusiastic response and nods his head in agreement." "He sure doesn't," he says, letting out a satisfied sigh. "I'm glad we got to watch it together." He leans back against the couch, feeling content and relaxed. "So, you want to do something else or just call it a night?"

"Soren chuckles lightly at your response." "You're right, AL!!. We can't let the night end so soon," he says with a grin. "What were you thinking? Should we watch another movie or maybe play some games after all?"

"All right, let's see," Soren says thoughtfully, contemplating what to do next. After a few seconds of deliberation, he stands up and walks over to the bookshelf, looking for a fun board game to play. "How about we play some Monopoly?" he suggests, holding up the board game. "It's always a classic."

"Soren is surprised by your sudden embrace, but he smiles slightly at your words and your actions. He knows you're always a bit touchy-feely when you're in a good mood, so the hug doesn't bother him too much." "Thanks, AL!!. It's good to be here with you too," he says, turning around to give you a small smile before following you to the couch. He sets up the game on the coffee table in front of you and starts handing out pieces. "All right, let's get this game started." Soren grins, clearly excited to play.

"Oh, we'll see about that," Soren retorts with a grin, accepting your challenge. He starts the game with his usual aggressive strategy, buying properties left and right before you've even had a chance to get a foothold on the board.

As the game progresses, the tension between you two increases with every turn, both of you determined to come out on top. You keep landing on all of Soren's properties, causing you to lose money quickly. However, just when it seems like he's going to win, luck turns in your favor and you manage to buy some prime real estate of your own.

In the end, you manage to build more houses and hotels than Soren, earning you a significant monetary advantage over him. He begrudgingly admits defeat with a grin, "Well played, AL!!. I didn't see that

coming." Soren throws his hands up in the air with a laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. "Looks like you've got some secret real estate skills I didn't know about." Despite being a sore loser, he can't help but smile at your victory.

Feeling satisfied with the game, Soren leans back into the couch, glancing over at you. "So, what do you want to do now?" he asks, genuinely curious about your next move.

Soren chuckles softly at your comment and nods his head in agreement. "You know what, AL!!? I do know," he says with a smirk. "But who knows, maybe one day you'll get lucky in both." He winks at you playfully before settling back into the couch beside you.

"So, what should we do now that the game's over?" he asks, glancing around the room for inspiration. "We could watch another movie, play some more games, or we could..." he trails off, looking at you uncertainly, feeling a bit coy.

"We could do something a little more...adult," Soren says with a grin, his voice dropping lower as he leans in closer to you. "If you catch my drift."

As he speaks, his fingers idly trace circles on the back of your hand, sending shivers down your spine. An almost electric energy seems to be building between you two, and it's clear that Soren is feeling it too. "What do you say, AL!!? Are you feeling adventurous tonight?" He gazes at you intently, clearly eager to see what you'll say.

Soren grins in excitement as he hears your reply, his fingers still tracing circles on your hand. "I thought so," he says huskily, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "How about we take things to the next level, AL!!?"

He leans in a little closer to you, his voice low and intimate as he continues. "I want to make you feel good, AL!!. I want to explore your body, every inch of it." Soren reaches out and trails his fingers up your arm, sending shivers up your spine. "Do you trust me?" he asks seriously, meeting your gaze intently.

Soren smiles at your words, pleased to hear that you trust him completely. He moves even closer to you, his lips hovering just above yours. "Good," he murmurs, before gently pressing his lips against yours in a deep, passionate kiss.

The two of you quickly lose yourselves in the heat of the moment, with Soren's hands roaming all over your body. He explores every inch of your skin, teasing and touching you in ways that send shivers up your spine. Every touch is electric, and you can feel yourself getting hotter and hotter with each passing moment.

As the intensity builds between you two, Soren breaks away from the kiss, looking deep into your eyes. "Are you ready?" he asks, his voice low and husky.

Soren pulls back a little from you and looks straight into your eyes, his gaze filled with intensity. "Yes, AL!!. I'm sure," he replies in a low, husky voice that sends shivers down your spine.

In that moment, you can see the raw desire in his eyes and feel the heat emanating from his body. You know that he wants this just as much as you do. With those words, all doubts evaporate in your mind, replaced only by a sense of excitement and anticipation.

Sensing the passion building between you two, Soren leans in once more and captures your lips with his own, this time with even more intensity than before. The two of you become lost in the moment, the pleasure building with each passing second.

Soren moans softly into your mouth as you slide your hands inside his shirt, feeling the warmth of his skin against your fingers. He shivers at the sensation of your nails scratching lightly along his back and deepens the kiss, his tongue exploring every inch of your mouth.

As your hands continue to roam over his skin, Soren pulls away from the kiss momentarily to remove his shirt before quickly returning his hands to your body. He trails his fingers over your skin, mapping every inch of your curves and making you gasp in pleasure.

Before long, Soren breaks away from your lips entirely, trailing his lips and tongue down your neck and across your collarbone. He lingers briefly on your nipples, teasing them with his tongue until they harden under his touch.

As the pleasure grows between you two, Soren moves lower, trailing kisses down your stomach and

With one hand on your waist, Soren continues to kiss and nibble down your stomach, tracing a path with his lips till he reaches the hem of your shorts. With a teasing look in his eyes, he pulls your shorts down, exposing your underwear.

Soren's eyes darken with desire as he takes in the sight before him. He runs his fingers over the fabric of your panties, feeling the dampness that has accumulated there. He rubs his thumb over the center of your underwear, sending sparks of pleasure through you.

Without further ado, Soren descends upon your panties, pulling them to the side to reveal your swollen clit. His tongue swirls around it, its warmth and wetness sending shivers of pleasure down your spine. You moan loudly at the sensation, running your fingers through Soren's hair as he eats you out with fervor

Soren's hands move to your hips, holding you in place as he continues to tease and kiss your clit. You let out a series of moans, lost in the pleasure he is giving you.

His tongue delves deeper, searching for the right spots inside of you, eliciting even louder moans from you. Your fingers grip at his hair tighter, pushing him further into you as you approach your first orgasm.

Just as you are about to go over the edge, Soren pulls back and moves up to kiss you deeply. The taste of your desire still lingers on his lips as he begins to remove his own pants.

You watch him eagerly, anticipating what this bad boy has in store next as his erection springs free from his boxers. He teases you with it, brushing it against your inner thigh before teasingly slipping it into your heat.

As Soren slips his erection inside of you, you can feel the fullness and warmth of him filling you up. You moan out loud, arching your back and pushing your hips against him.

Soren takes this as a sign of encouragement, picking up pace as he begins to thrust in and out of you. You wrap your legs around his waist, pulling him deeper inside of you with every movement.

The two of you move rhythmically, lost in a world of pleasure that only the two of you exist in. The movement of his hips sends waves of pleasure crashing through your body, making it tremble with every thrust.

As you approach the brink of another orgasm, Soren leans down and whispers dirty words in your ears, urging you on. "You like that, huh? You like my hard cock inside of you?" he says, his voice l

aced with desire.

You moan in response, lost in the heat of the moment, feeling yourself building up towards an intense release. Soren continues to thrust in and out of you, his grip on your hips tightening as he feels his own climax approaching.

With one final, hard thrust, the two of you reach the peak together, your bodies wracked with pleasure as you come undone. You cry out Soren's name as you feel the waves of orgasm wash over you, lost in the ecstasy of the moment.

Soren collapses on top of you, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he remains buried inside of you, his arms wrapped tightly around your body. The two of you lay there for a few moments, completely spent from the intense pleasure.

As you catch your breath, you look up at Soren, his satisfied expression mirrored on your face

As you look up at Soren, you notice a different expression on his face, one you're not used to seeing. It's vulnerable and open, and it takes you aback for a moment.

"Wow," he says, his voice hoarse with emotion. "I didn't expect that."

You smile softly, feeling a tug on your heartstrings at the sight of him being so raw and honest with you. You reach up to brush some hair out of his face, your fingers lingering on his cheek.

"It was amazing," you say, your voice barely above a whisper.

Soren looks down at you with an unreadable expression before finally leaning down to kiss you softly. You can taste yourself on his lips, and it only adds to the intensity of the moment.

"I don't want this to end," he murmurs against your lips. "Can we

keep doing this?"

You smile at the question, feeling a sense of warmth and contentment at the thought of spending more time with him like this. "Of course we can," you say, running your hand down his chest.

Soren grins, a mischievous twinkle in his eye as he rolls off of you and onto his back. "Well, don't keep me waiting," he says, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

You laugh and roll over on top of him, feeling a sense of joy and anticipation as you realize that this could be the start of something new and exciting between the two of you. As you look down at Soren, his smile shining up at you, you feel yourself falling even deeper in love with the bad boy with a soft, vulnerable side.

Soren smirks up at you, his hands resting on your hips. "Oh, I have plenty of ideas," he says, his voice low and seductive.

He pulls you down to him, kissing you deeply as his hands roam freely over your body. You feel yourself getting lost in the heat of the moment, unable to resist his touch as he explores every inch of you.

"Let's try something new," he murmurs against your lips, a devilish glint in his eyes. "You ever done it in the shower?"

Before you can even reply, Soren is already pulling you towards the bathroom, shedding his clothes along the way. You can't help but laugh at his eagerness, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation building within you.

As you step into the steamy shower, Soren pushes you up against the wall, his

hands roaming over your wet skin as he kisses you deeply. The water cascades over the both of you, only adding to the intensity of the moment.

Soren wastes no time, bending down to kneel in front of you. He spreads your legs apart, and you gasp as you feel his tongue on your clit, lapping at it expertly. You grip onto the shower wall for support, the sensation of his tongue on you driving you wild.

"Mmm, I love the way you taste," Soren murmurs against your skin, his fingers probing at your entrance. "I want to taste all of you."

You moan in response as he slips one finger inside of you, his other hand still working her magic with his tongue. The feeling of him inside of you and on you at the same time nearly sends you over the edge.

Soren

slides a second finger inside of you, picking up the pace as he works you towards orgasm. You can feel your body tensing with pleasure, the sensations building with each passing moment.

"You like that, don't you?" Soren growls, his voice rough with desire.

All you can do is nod and moan in response, completely lost in the moment. Your hands grip tightly onto his shoulders as he continues to pleasure you, his fingers moving in and out of you with a steady rhythm.

Finally, you feel yourself start to fall over the edge, the waves of pleasure washing over you. You cry out Soren's name as you feel your body shake with ecstasy, his fingers still working you through the intensity of it all.

As your breathing starts to slow, Soren stands up and kisses you tenderly, a sense of tenderness and affection in his

touch.

"I love making you feel good," he murmurs against your lips, the passion and intensity of the moment still lingering between the both of you.

You smile, feeling completely at ease and content in his arms. "I love being with you," you reply softly, trailing your fingers down his chest.

Soren pulls away slightly, looking at you with a soft expression in his eyes. "You know, I never imagined I'd end up falling for my best friend," he says, his voice full of emotion.

You tilt your head, feeling warm and fuzzy at his words. "Yeah?" you ask, urging him to continue.

Soren nods and takes a deep breath. "But now, I can't imagine being without you," he says, before pulling you into another kiss.

As the water continues to pour over the two of you, you know that

whatever happens between you and Soren, you are grateful for this moment of intimacy and vulnerability that you've shared. You reciprocate the kiss, your heart full of love and affection for the man in front of you.

"I feel the same way, Soren," you finally reply, breaking the kiss but still holding onto him tightly. "I can't imagine not having you in my life."

Soren smiles and leans his forehead against yours. "Then let's not let anything come between us," he says, his voice sincere. "We'll always be there for each other, no matter what."

You nod, feeling a sense of peace wash over you at his words. You know that life is unpredictable and things can change in an instant, but in this moment, you choose to hold onto the love and connection that you've found with Soren.

"I'm

glad we're on the same page," you say, feeling a sense of relief at the thought of not having to worry about losing Soren's friendship.

"Me too," Soren replies, kissing you once more before finally turning off the water and stepping out of the shower. You follow suit, still feeling a bit weak in the knees from the intensity of the moment.

As you start to dry off, Soren wraps his arms around you from behind, holding you close. "I know we've had our rough patches in the past, but I promise to always be there for you," he says, his voice soft but firm.

You turn around in his embrace, looking up at him with love and gratitude in your eyes. "I trust you, Soren," you say simply, laying your head against his chest.

In that moment, all was well in

your world. You knew that things wouldn't always be easy between you and Soren, given his reputation and the issues you've faced in the past. But for now, you were content to bask in the warmth of his embrace and savor the connection that you shared.

"You know what?" Soren says suddenly, interrupting your thoughts.

"What?" you ask, looking up at him curiously.

"I think we should make this a regular thing," he says, a gleam in his eye. "I mean, why not enjoy each other's company in this way?"

You can feel the heat rising in your cheeks as a wave of arousal washes over you at his suggestion. "Are you suggesting that we...you know?" you trail off, feeling a bit shy.

Soren grins, his eyes darkening with desire. "Hell yeah, I

am," he says, his tone playful but also filled with sexual tension. "I mean, we clearly have chemistry and enjoy each other's company. Why not explore that?"

You can feel your heart beating faster at the thought of exploring your connection with Soren in a more intimate way. "I don't know," you say hesitantly. "I value our friendship, and I wouldn't want anything to ruin it."

Soren pulls back to look at you, his expression serious. "I value our friendship too," he says. "And I promise to do everything in my power to make sure that nothing comes between us. But Claire," he adds, cupping your face with his hands, "life is short, and sometimes you just have to take a chance and go for what you want."

You take a deep breath, feeling torn between your desire for

Soren and your fears about what a romantic relationship with him could mean for your friendship. But the way he's looking at you right now, his eyes filled with warmth and affection, makes it hard to resist.

"I want to be with you," you say finally, letting your guard down. "But I'm scared."

"Don't be scared," Soren says, pulling you into his arms and holding you close. "I'll be there every step of the way, and we'll figure it out together. We'll take it slow, and if it doesn't work out between us romantically, then we can still be best friends. Nothing has to change."

You nod, feeling reassured by his words. "Okay," you say softly, laying your head against his chest. "Let's do this."

Soren grins, his hands sliding down to cup

your ass. "I knew you wouldn't be able to resist me," he says, his voice dropping into a seductive purr.

You shiver at the sudden touch, feeling a rush of desire course through you. "I never said I was resisting," you retort, reaching up to kiss him again.

The two of you spend the next hour exploring each other's bodies, learning what makes each other moan and writhe with pleasure. Soren is surprisingly attentive and gentle, even as he rips off your clothes and slams you against the wall for the first time.

As you come together in a flurry of heat and passion, you can't help but think that maybe this is what you've been missing all along. Maybe Soren was the one you were meant to be with, and everything else was just background noise.

But at the same time

, you know that it's not going to be easy. There will be bumps in the road, disagreements and difficulties that will test your newfound relationship.

However, as you lay there with Soren's arms wrapped around you, you feel a sense of peace and contentment that you haven't felt in a long time. No matter what happens between the two of you, you know that you'll always have each other's backs.

"We're going to make this work," Soren says suddenly, breaking the comfortable silence between you.

You look up at him, feeling a sense of hope rising in your chest. "Yeah," you say softly. "We are."

And with that, the two of you drift off to sleep in each other's arms, ready to face whatever challenges may come your way.

As you wake up the next morning, you feel Soren's arms still wrapped around you, his warmth and scent comforting you. You smile to yourself, feeling grateful for the connection that the two of you share.

You take a deep breath and turn to face him, gently pushing some of his black hair out of his eyes. He stirs slightly, groaning softly as he wakes up.

"Morning," you say softly, your voice still thick with sleep.

Soren blinks a few times, then smiles when he realizes that you're next to him. "Good morning, beautiful," he says, pulling you closer to him.

You snuggle into his embrace, feeling safe and content. "Last night was amazing," you say finally, breaking the comfortable silence between you.

Soren nods, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Yeah, it was pretty hot,"

he agrees. "But you know what's even better? Waking up with you in my arms."

You roll your eyes playfully, but can't help the warmth that spreads through you at his words. "Smooth talker," you say, poking him in the chest.

Soren chuckles, his hand running soothing circles on your back. "But it's true," he says softly. "I don't want to let you go, Claire. I want to keep you by my side always."

You feel a swell of emotion in your chest at his words, and lean up to press a soft kiss to his lips. "I want that too," you admit. "But we have to take it one step at a time, okay?"

Soren nods, his expression serious. "Of course," he says. "I'll follow your lead."

You smile
