Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend

The scarf

When we were finished, Aaron carried me into the bathroom and insisted that I take a bath with him. I did climb into the tub with him, but I turned away so we wouldn’t end up having sex again.

He was oddly silent, and when I turned back around after cleaning myself up, I found that he’d fallen asleep with his head resting against the edge of the bathtub.

I didn’t know whether I should laugh or cry. I gently shook his shoulder: “Aaron…? You need to get out now, you’ll catch a cold.”

He didn’t respond.

There was no way I could get him out on my own-he was around 6’3″ at least-but I didn’t want to just leave him there. With a sigh, I sat back near the faucet and turned on the hot water every once in a while so he wouldn’t get too cold.

Thankfully, he woke up before long. His eyes blinked open and he smiled when he saw that I was still in the water with him. There was a tender expression on his face. “You can get out first.”

I stood with my back toward him and got out to slip into a robe. He followed almost immediately and crashed into me before I could get dressed, sending water splattering over the tiles. I was so startled that I nearly fell forward, and he took that opportunity to scoop me up in his arms and throw me back onto the bed.

“Hey!” I hissed.

Aaron hugged me from behind with his head buried in my

shoulder. Then he said in a hazy voice, “Sleep with me for a while.”

I patted his hand on his wet skin. “You need to dry off first.”

He hummed lazily, “I am…”

Immediately afterward, I heard his soft snoring. I didn’t move until his body fully relaxed and let go of me. Then I carefully got up and draped the comforter over him. His hand grabbed a fistful of the white sheets and he frowned, like a child

having a nightmare. I couldn’t stop myself from reaching out, and he immediately grabbed my hand. After everything that happened tonight, I didn’t think I’d sleep well, but I drifted off as soon as I shut my eyes…

When I woke up, I didn’t know what time it was. The heavy curtains didn’t let any light through, so I took out my phone to
