Page 50 of Accidentally Falling For My Best Friend
“I’m going to be an awesome bottom,” I announce confidently. “I don’t even think my prostate was involved there, and I came in like two seconds.”
He bursts out laughing, and I join him. “What if I wanted to bottom?” he asks with a raised brow.
I move my gaze to where his cock is resting between his thighs, even though it’s soft now, it’s still intimidating. “Hmm, on second thought, maybe I need some toys to ease into bottoming before you try to split me in half.”Toys would be great to add to our list of things to try. I’m sure there’s a ton of them.
“I will buy you all the sex toys you want,” he promises. “But I am also definitely volunteering my ass. I did not expect that to be so good.”
“Right?” I agree. “Want to go wash up again and stay in my room with me? I think your sheets are ruined.”
“Yeah, let's go.”
I jump out of bed. “First one in bed gets to pick out the first sex toy!” I taunt, running toward my room.
“Fuck,” he mutters, chasing after me. When he catches up, he grabs me from behind and lifts me up, tossing me over his shoulder in a fireman’s carry. We’re both laughing hysterically by the time we make it into the bathroom. We quickly get clean and ready for bed. I wait for him to get his insulin pump hooked back up, which was still in there from before our first shower, not wanting to win on a technicality. We end up making it to my bedat the same time, with me diving onto it for a photo-finish, and after more laughter, we eventually settle with Parker spooning me.
“I really like this,” I whisper after a while, unsure if he’s still awake.
“Me too,” he mumbles. Then he places a kiss on the back of my neck, and I feel my cheeks heat.
I know that we’re just having fun, and that Parker isn’t looking at our arrangement like the long term thing I’m hoping it will be, but moments like this, where we can switch from silly to tender and still manage to feel likeus,even when so much has changed, have me desperately wishing he wanted more with me.
Maybe even forever.

I’m trying to focus on this meeting
Not on how hot Oakley looks in his suit. I swear, every time we hook up it’s like it unlocks a new level of attraction I didn’t know was possible. I’m officially obsessed with my best friend, and I don’t want to ever go back.
We’re meeting with the event coordinator that we’ve hired to plan all of the weddings and parties at the Bora Bora resort, as well as the general manager, one last time before they officially move there after the holidays.
“I was thinking we also need to offer more fitness classes,” Oakley suggests. He is full of new ideas for things we should provide for the guests. Just in today’s meeting, he’s suggested expanding the menu, the spa treatments available, and now the group exercise options. And that’s only what Bella, the manager, has to worry about.
“Oh, Theo.” He shifts his attention to the highly recommended events specialist, Theodore Tyler, before our manager can even respond. “I was watching a wedding video today where theyhad different performers in each space. How many live music options do we offer?”
He’s also questioned the number of linen and plate varieties there are, the different uplighting, projectors, and flower options. They’re both excitedly agreeing with everything that he says, but throwing me anxious glances when he looks away. They know how expensive every item he lists off is and that I’m the one they’ll have to talk to about it.
It’ll be fine.
Working with my best friend has never been a problem. Despite what some of the board members like to whisper about, I’ve never let our friendship compromise my ability to do my job well. If anything, it motivates me to do even better, because I know I have to prove myself. I know I’m the right person for this position I’ve been training half of my life for, some people just need convincing.
Making Oak happy is just a bonus. If he did something irresponsible or was pushing for something that didn’t make sense, I wouldn’t hesitate to shut it down.
In fact, I’m growing quite fond of putting Oakley in his place when we’re alone.
I know our new dynamic won’t change any of that at work, though. Oakley and I have always motivated each other to be better, and hooking up doesn’t mean I’ll suddenly start bending over backwards to give into all of his demands.Even if I’m happy to bend over at home.
I also know this won’t last forever either, so not having to publicly defend our situation will make everything a whole lot easier. When the time comes that Oakley decides he’s bored with me sexually and wants to go back to being just friends, we can do so without anyone else’s concern. I know we won’t let anything come between our friendship. But other people would assume it would affectour jobs.
Since I met him, Oak’s always been the most important person in my life, and that’s never going to change. Maybe there’s always been somethingmorebetween us, at least to me, and I just never recognized it as attraction because we never acted on it.
I’m trying not to dwell on my feelings for him. We’ve always loved each other as best friends. No need to start wondering if he could ever bein lovewith me when it wouldn’t change anything. He’s going to move on once he’s comfortable physically being with a man.No use thinking about my own feelings and if I’m in love with him either.I should focus on the fact that I get to feel sexual desire and connection in a way that I never have before.
“So, when can we visit again?” Oakley asks them, drawing my attention back to our meeting.
