Best Friend's Ex Box Set

"Oh, Everett, that's good, that's really, really good," I gasped as the force of the orgasm developed like a head of steam within me, building up a glorious pressure that was just waiting to be released. As if he could sense this, he began to work his hands with more vigor and pressure, taking me closer and closer to the edge. My heart was hammering inside my chest, and a flush of heat spread across my face and chest – it was going to happen, it was going to happen at any moment now, I just knew it.

And then, finally, with a cry of pleasure, the orgasm tore through me blazing a glorious path of ecstasy through my whole body. I shivered and shook with the joyous force of it, breathing quickly and sighing with the wonderful intensity of it.

Eventually, after the intensity had subsided, I kissed him deeply, pulling him closer to me.

"That... that was amazing," I said. "It's been so long since... since..."

"I'm happy I could help," he smiled. “And we’re only just getting started."

His mouth covered mine once more and the hardness of his erection ground against me, making me wish the clothes between us had already been discarded. Just as things began to heat back up, his cell phone rang.

For a second, he ignored it, then mumbled against my kiss, “It might be the hospital.”

“You should check,” I mumbled back.

He picked it up and looked at the number.

"Sorry, Viv, I have to take this."

"That's alright, go ahead."

He placed a quick kiss on my forehead and answered the call.

"Yeah, hi, Ben... yeah. I’m a little busy,” he grinned at me. “What’s up? Uh-huh... Yeah. What? Really?... Oh man, that is not good. That is not good at all... Now? Uh, it has to be now? Yeah, yeah, I understand... Alright. See you soon."

He cut the call off, and a look of grave seriousness washed over his face.

"We've got trouble at JFK High," he said. "I'm so sorry, Vivienne, but I have to go. Now, I’m afraid."

Chapter Fourteen

Everett

The look of disappointment on her face nearly killed me. The last thing I wanted to do was leave her. And it had nothing to do with where the moment seemed to be heading. Even if we’d have still just been watching a ridiculous movie, I would have wanted to stay. Being with her was the most at ease I’d ever felt with anyone. Something about being near her just felt right.

"I'll call you as soon as all of this is done," I promised as I got up and got my keys and phone.

"Can you tell me what happened?" she asked.

I sighed before answering.

"Someone's been shot."

Her eyes widened with shock. "What?! First you, and thankfully it wasn't serious, but now someone else has been shot?"

I nodded. "Yeah. Except this time, it was a kid. One of our students."

"Oh my god, that's horrible... Is the kid okay?"

"He's in serious condition, but he's stable, and he’s apparently going to need surgery."

"How did it happen? Who's the kid who got shot? Who shot him?"

I shook my head. "I don't know the answers to any of that yet. And that's why I need to go there right away."

"I understand. Look, if you need me to go back to the hospital and check in on Jane, I'd be happy to."

"Would you? That would make me feel better."
