and quickly took in every inch of me. The pleasure was so intense it sent my eyes to the back of my head. She rode me without fear and without hesitation. This woman was on fire, and I loved every second of it. She let loose on me and it felt amazing. She had another orgasm, and just as I was about to come, I gripped her hips and held them down as I exploded inside her. She wrapped her arms around me as I held her in place. Our skin melted with sweat and our hearts rapidly beat. I could feel her erratic breathing on my neck as she could feel mine on hers. She climbed off me and fell onto the couch.
“Fuck.” I smiled as I glanced over at her, trying to regain my breath.
“Yes, we did.” She grinned.
I removed the condom, got up and threw it in the garbage.
“I’m going to clean up and get in my pajamas. I’ll be right back and then we’ll discuss the rules.”
“Anything you say, sweetheart.”
I grabbed my clothes from the floor, took them into my room and grabbed a pair of sweatpants from my drawer. After slipping into them, I went back out to the living room, grabbed my beer from the table and brought the bottle up to my lips.
“Okay. I made a list of potential rules,” she said as she sat down on the couch with a piece of paper in her hand.
“Did you just write those down now?”
“No. I worked on them all day in between patients just in case you said yes.”
“Wow. Okay. Let’s hear them.”
“Like I said, these are only potential rules that we will thoroughly discuss. If something doesn’t sound right to you or you disagree with any of them, we’ll talk about it.”
“Got it.” I smiled.
“Okay. Rule number one. We both need to be very clear about what we’re looking for and what we’re not looking for. I think transparency is a must in this situation.”
“I agree. I’m not looking for anything other than sex. I don’t want a relationship, commitment, nothing. Just sex and friendship,” I said.
“That’s exactly the way I feel, Mason. I want nothing other than great sex.”
“Not a problem.” I gave her a wink. “What’s the next rule?”
“I think it’s important that we check in with each other periodically about how we feel about our ‘friends with benefits’ relationship. Is it working for us? Are there any issues we need to work out?”
“Good idea. Open and honest. I like it.”
“The next rule is how will we keep our newfound friendship? Are we going to tell people about it? Or agree to keep it between ourselves?”
“I don’t think it’s anyone’s business what we do. So I think we should keep it to ourselves,” I said.
“That includes your brothers.” Her brow arched.
“I know and trust me, they do not need to know about our arrangement.”
“We’re doing this just to have fun and enjoy each other physically, right?” she asked.
“Definitely.”
“Okay. As long as we’re both clear on that. As for the ultimate rule, if one of us should meet someone and it becomes serious, we need to talk to each other about it.”
“That’s fine, but I don’t have any plans on seriously meeting anyone. Seriousness isn’t my thing.” I finished off my beer.
“You never know, Mason.”
“Trust me, sweetheart, I am not a serious relationship type of guy. Never have been and never will be.”
“I’m sure your brothers said the same thing.”
“They did, but they’re weak. I’m like them in certain ways, but nothing like them in others. I have my own set of beliefs that are set in stone for me.”
“Okay. That wraps up the rules then. I will make a copy for you to tuck away in your drawer, just in case you need reminding.”
“Sounds good. You’re coming to Vegas, right?”
“Do you really want me to?”
“I do.” I smiled as I took hold of her hand. “With our newfound friendship and rules, we’re going to have a blast.”
“Then I’ll come.”
I leaned over and planted a kiss on her lips.
“Um, is random kissing allowed?” I asked.
“Sure. I like random friend kisses.”
Vegas was a blast, and I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that my mother was married. To each his own, I guess. Sara and I had been in our friends with benefits zone for two months and what a whirlwind it was. My brothers hadn’t a clue what was going on, and that’s how I planned to keep it. I was
