Beautiful Creatures Series

The weeks passed quickly, and Aurora and Stanton were living a charmed life. Everything was perfect, and for the first time in his life, Stanton was happy. He had everything he could ever want. So why did he feel on edge all the time? Stanton walked into the pub. He was running late. It was boys’ night out, and Aurora had ambushed him as he was leaving. She’d been feeling frisky the last couple of days, and every moment he wasn’t working, she was trying to jump his bones. Frankly… he loved it.

He started toward the table the guys were at, and he could hear them talking, but they hadn’t spotted him yet. “He’s late again,” Lewis complained as he drank his beer.

“Aurora must have ambushed him again,” Darrell chuckled.

“Is it crazy to be jealous of him?” Kenneth asked. “I mean, I love Stanton like a brother, but God damn, look at him, and he has got himself a crazy hot babe that wants to fuck him senseless every chance she gets and to top it off, she’s a fucking pro. I bet she has serious oral game.”

Darrell laughed. “Please, you wouldn’t know what to do with a girl like that.”

“I bet you would, though, wouldn’t you?” Kenneth snicker.

“Damn right, he would,” Lewis snickered. “What woman has ever said no to him?”

“Not one,” Darrell said with pride.

“I bet you could have her,” Kenneth said. “I bet she wouldn’t say no to you.”

Darrell shook his head. “I wouldn’t even try.”

“Why not?” Kenneth asked. “You don’t think she’s sexy?”

“I didn’t say that. I’m sure that girl would blow my mind. But my friendship with Stanton means way too much to me. I would never betray him like that. Besides, he’d skin me alive if I tried,” they all laughed, and Stanton backed away and exited the bar before anyone could see him.

He stood outside, thinking about the conversation he was not meant to hear. They were right. Things were good right now, but how could he know that in time when the new excitement faded, Aurora wouldn’t be tempted to stray, especially when every man that looked at her wanted to take his place. What if she got tired of looking at his ugly mug, and some stud hit on her? Would she leave him? The thought was eating at him.

Stanton spent the night sitting in his SUV outside the pub. When the pub was closing, he watched his friends leave with the other. Darrell stood outside the pub, lighting himself a cigarette. While he smoked, he took out his cellphone and then Stanton’s cellphone began to ring on the seat next to him. The caller ID said it was Darrell. He had been calling all night, but Stanton hadn’t answered. He didn’t feel like talking, especially with the guys at the table.

Stanton picked up his phone and answered. “Hello.”

“Dude, where the hell are you? Man, she better have fucked you six ways from Sunday if you stood us up.”

“I’m in the parking lot,” he confessed.

He watched as Darrell looked up and looked around. The moment Darrell spotted Stanton’s SUV, he hung up and tucked his phone in his jacket pocket and made his way over to the SUV. Darrell opened the passenger door and got in. Then he rolled down the window so he could finish his cigarette.

“What the hell are you doing out here?” Darrell asked. “Have you been out here all night?”

Stanton looked at him. “You’re my friend, right?”

“Best friend.”

“Would you do anything for me?”

“Man, I would die for you,” Darrell promised.

“I want you to do a favour for me.”

“Name it.”

“I want you to hit on Aurora.”

Darrell looks surprised. “Say what?”

“I want you to hit on Aurora. I want you to turn on that charm of yours.”

“Hold up a minute. Stanton, you are my best friend, and Aurora is super sexy, but I am not feeling the guy-on-guy-on-girl thing.”

Stanton shook his head. “No, that’s not what I’m asking for.”

Darrell breathed a sigh of relief. “Good, because I think it would make things weird.”

“I just want you to hit on aggressively. I want her to think you want to sleep with her.”

“I got to ask why? I mean, you have to admit this is kind of a strange request.”

“No woman ever says no to you.”

“True.”

“I need to know if I can trust her.”

“And if she doesn’t say no to me?” Darrell asked with all seriousness.

“Then I’ll have my answer.”
