Three's a Crowd

[kailey]

After continuing to stare into his eyes, Evangel bit her lip and smiled nervously. She wanted to continue, needed it even. She had never craved kissing someone so much before. Something about him just made her go crazy.


She would probably have a lot to think about after this day with him, but she decided to push all worries aside and enjoy being with her best friend. When he called her sweetheart, she blushed again.





"Take charge then," She murmured quietly, her voice taking on a slightly seductive tone. She hadn't really ever acted like this with a guy before, not even Jace. But it just felt completely natural and right with Atticus.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Atticus grinned at her words. He felt like smirking would've fit the situation better but he honestly more happy than anything else. He'd been wanting this for so long with Evangel.


He pulled her back down to his lips and kissed her, but far softer and more in loving way than before. His hands went to zipper of her jacket, well his jacket, and he started with unzipping that. He felt like he took far long than necessary to get it on the ground with the rest of his clothes but he wanted to go slow and take in the moment.


After that, his hands moved to the bottom of her shirt which he inched up very slowly, his cold fingertips dragging against her satin skin on her sides and back as he did so.

 

[kailey]

Evangel smiled into the kiss as he pulled her back down to him. As he unzipped the jacket, she deepened the kiss.


The contact of his skin on hers gave her goosebumps. She realized he was trying to stay in the moment, what with how amazing it was, but she needed her shirt gone quicker. With her own hand, she reached down and gently guided his hands farther up on her sides, letting him know it was okay.


Her hips began moving against him as her lips continued locking onto his. Eva's hands slid down to the waist of his pants.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Atticus was surprised, to say the least, when Eva used her hand to guide his hand up to validate that she was sure about it all.


He felt his heart skip a beat when her hands moved and her hips moved. Yeah, maybe this slow thing wasn't going to go as smoothly as he planned. He pulled away for the moment, pulling the shirt from her. He set it aside as his eyes dragged down and then back up her body. Wow.. He'd seen her in a bikini, sure. But this was just way different.


He went back to kissing her and trying to keep his breathing regular as his mind focused on the placement of her hands while his hands searched for the hook of her bra.

 

[kailey]

Evangel sat up a tiny bit, letting Atticus remove her crop top. He seemed to like what he say, she thought, noting the way his eyes dragged from her hips up. She really hoped he wasn't disappointed.


Her own hands fumbled with the button on his jeans, managing to undo it and the zipper. She pulled back a second and grinned at him, mischief twinkling in her eyes. She let a hand wander down...


Her other hand was tangled up in his hair, using it as a sort of leverage to kiss him more passionately. She was extremely aware of his fingers on the hook of her bra, and she shivered again. She needed him to keep going.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Atticus looked up at her when she pulled away and grinned. God, that look in her eyes. She sure know how to drive him wild.. That was, if she even knew how much he was enjoying it all. He was pretty good at keeping a straight face but as soon as her hands went farther, his breathing changed and he let out a soft sigh before going back to kissing her.


He tried to focus on unhooking her bra and after a few fails by being simply distracting by her kissing and hands, he finally got it. He pulled away from him her again, taking that fully off of her and putting it aside. "Fuck," He said, almost breathlessly, before he could even stop himself. A smile came to his lips as he looked up at her. He pulled her close again, a hand resting on her neck again while the other hand explored.

 

[kailey]

Evangel could tell he was excited about the placement of her hand, so she went even farther, exploring. She grinned into his lips.


As Atticus pulled away to take her bra off, she began to feel insecure until him smiling and muttering "fuck" made her feel better. She gratefully accepted yet another kiss, fully embracing his lips on hers.


It was his turn to start showing some skin. Eva slowly trailed her hand from inside his jeans to the hem of his shirt, working somewhat quickly to pull it up and over his head. She smirked as she traced her fingers over his extremely muscular abdomen. He was so perfect, why didn't she realize this before?

 

[PrincessKaty]

Atticus was extremely turned on at this point and would've been completely fine with skipping all the touchy-feely stuff but he felt like it was necessary given that it was Evangel and all. He didn't want this to be anything casual..


He lifted himself off the bed a little bit and felt chills all over his body as she started to trace her fingertips over him. Even her touch just drove him wild. His hands trailed down from chest to her shorts which he quickly stared to unbutton while she was having her fun with his chest.


He started to kiss her again but then let his lips straight to trail to her neck and collarbone and start to go further down.

 

[kailey]

Evangel moaned softly as his hands kept exploring her exposed body, finally making their way to her shorts. She let her own hands wander back down to his jeans, pulling them down slightly as she gently let her hand slide back into them.


Atticus's lips began trailing down from her lips to her neck and even father, which made eyes roll back slightly, enjoying every little touch of his skin and lips against hers.


This whole thing was so special and intimate between them, but she was becoming eager to become completely exposed with him. "Atticus..." She murmured, her voice low and sexy.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Atticus lifted his hips a little bit, making it easier for Eva to move his jeans out of her way while he tried to get her's undone.


"Eva.." He mumbled back with his lips on her skin. He wrapped his arms around waist and turned them over so that they were reversed and he grinned a little bit at her. He started kissing her again, this time at her neck and he worked his way down, down, down, all the way to the top of her shorts which he pulled off along with her underwear. He tossed them aside and leaned up to kiss her stomach a few times before moving completely back to her lips and kissing her again. "You're so damn beautiful," He mumbled against her lips as he kissed her.

 

[kailey]

Evangel moved to remove Atticus's jeans and underwear along with it, her hands having more access now. A grin began to form as she examined his body.


After he removed the rest of her clothing, Eva wrapped her legs around his back and moved against him more. She gasped as he kissed up and down her body, finally settling back on her lips.


Again, Atticus's compliment made her blush. She truly believed it when he complimented her, and she liked that about him. He was sincere.


Evangel moved her arms behind her head, half hoping he'd use his to pin them back. She enjoyed feeling like he was in control. She had no doubt he'd take great care of her.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Atticus couldn't help but grin himself when Eva grinned at him once he was completely naked. It made him feel good about himself, that was for sure.. Not that he had anything to be ashamed of because he was well off.


Atticus sighed out of pure lust in the moment when she started to move her hips again. He pulled away from her lips for a moment and looked up at her hands and then back to her.


"Are you ready?" He asked her, hovering over her for the moment. He had his fingers crossed that she said yes because he was pretty sure he couldn't hold off any longer. He didn't want to force her into anything she didn't want though.. Although she seemed more than willing in his eyes.

 

[kailey]

Evangel lie on her back, looking up into Atticus's eyes. Her eyes shifted down then back up, drawing in even more of his immaculate body. God, she thought, he was insanely hot.


Biting her lip, she looked up at him once more and nodded in answer to his question. She could practically feel his need for this in the air. It was practically radiating from him. She needed it just as bad. She wasn't scared that he would just use her and leave. She was putting all of her trust in him, and she conveyed that with a soft smile up at him.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Atticus grinned a little bit when Eva nodded and smiled at him.


Atticus sat up straight on the bed and looked up at Eva one last time before actually going through with it. He made sure to start really, really slow and not even all the way, just in case she wanted to back out because it hurt or something. He really hoped that she didn't because it already felt amazing for him.


His hands moved to her hips as he started to get a slow rhythm going. His eyes flicked up to hers to try and figure out how she was feeling.

 

[kailey]

Eva took a deep breath and prepared for it. It hurt a little, but not bad. She could already tell he was getting into it, and it made her grin. She moved her hips in time with him.


Her eyes rolled back slightly as he continued. Never in a million years did she think she would be in this moment with Atticus, her best friend. She knew that after this day with him, she wouldn't be able to think of him as just a friend. You don't have this much passion and excitement and love with someone if it was just your friend.

 

[PrincessKaty]

(Yes we shallll)


Atticus was laying in bed with Eva, watching some movie they'd found on Netflix. It was pretty stupid but it was a nice laugh so he supposed that was all that mattered.


She was laying on his chest and he had his arms around her, dragging his fingertips up and down her spine. He felt bad keeping her from school but he knew that it was super rare of her not to go, but he was glad that she'd decided to stay.


The sex had been.. Out of the world. He didn't know how else to describe it. She seemed to really know what she was doing and he liked to think he wasn't too bad himself and mix in all the sexual tension and longing and it was one hell of a time.

 

[kailey]

Evangel lie her head on Atticus's muscular chest, a sight if content escaping her lips. She had demanded (nicely) that they lay under the blankets because she was freezing.


She had positioned her head so that the comforting sound of his heartbeat would soothe her. She hadn't stopped smiling this entire time.


She honestly thought the whole experience was insane. In a good way. One, Atticus was so fucking sexy. The sex was fantastic (it made her wonder how much practice he had because damn) and it was overall a perfect day.


"I just realized I can't just stay here forever," Eva whispered softly, smiling sadly up at Atticus.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Atticus shifted his eyes from the TV to Eva when she noted that she couldn't stay forever. He was almost certain she'd have leave not soon, but in a few hours tops. He grinned a little bit and nodded. "Yeah.. I know," He said softly.


He deep sigh escaped his lips at the thought of her leaving the house and going back to Jace. Part of him felt guilty for encouraging her to cheat but part of him really didn't either. At least it wasn't just a random hookup. It actually meant a hell of a lot between them.


He knew that things weren't going to change with the snap of his fingers but he thought that maybe it would give her something more to think about now that she was fully aware of what she meant to him.


~


Jace was sitting at lunch in school and realizing just how boring it was without Evangel around. His friends were cool and all, but some of them really were just brainless jocks. At least when Eva was around they could have normal, logical conversation.


He pulled his phone out of his pocket and frowned, seeing that she hadn't even texted him today. So, he sent her the following text: Hey princess, I hope you're feeling better. I feel terrible about last night.. You mean the world to me and I would never in a million years want to hurt you. Maybe I can come over after school and we could watch a movie? I love you, Eva.

 

[kailey]

Evangel sighed, coming to the sane realization that she'd have to go back to Jace later. She really didn't want to but it wasn't like she could just abandon the guy. It sure felt like a lot the feelings she had for the jock had suddenly shifted over to Atticus, and she was okay with that.





"Hey Atticus... I love you," Eva said suddenly as she cuddled closer to him. Reality was beginning to sink in and her happiness was beginning to fade. She wanted to run away wit him or something, but she knew that wasn't realistic.


Just then, she received a text from Jace saying something of an apology and a suggestion for their night. Evangel sighed. He never wanted to just "watch a movie", and after what happened with Atticus, she just couldn't bring herself to do it. She sent back: "I'm feeling a little better. I have to babysit my niece tonight, but maybe we could pick another one? Sorry. Hope your day is going good."


She lied again, hadn't said I love you back... She was a horrible person. With a sigh, she turned to bury herself into Atticus, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know what to do.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Atticus grinned a little bit, hearing her. "I love you too, Evangel," He told her, meaning it as it was suppose to be said rather than what it usually did. It wasn't a friendship love. He truly, truly loved her.


He looked down when he heard her phone go off and caught a glimpse of Jace's name on the screen. He forced his eyes to the TV screen, not wanting to know whatever he said to her. This was a real shit situation and he'd put both of them in it. He probably should've waited for all of this. He should've waited for her to break it off with Jace and he knew that but it was like there was two different sides of him at war. Part of him didn't care that he was breaking every moral rule. Eva was like that one light in a dark tunnel sort of a person and he wanted to be with her no matter what, even if it meant cheating. And the other half felt utterly guilty because he knew if someone did it to him, he'd be heartbroken.


He frowned, watching as Eva turned to him and began to cry. Although it wasn't obvious, he could tell by the way her breathing was and the way her body moved under his hug.


"It's alright, Eva.. Everything is going to be okay," He told her softly, moving his fingers up and down her back again. He couldn't even imagine what this was doing to poor, sweet Eva's mind. Atticus was use to doing bad things but she'd never done anything like this in her whole life.

 

[kailey]

Evangel continued to cry, silently, but tearful. Atticus's reassuring touch helped calm her down a little, but didn't help the situation much.


She didn't blame him for any of this. It was both of their decisions and she felt that it was right for the two of them to do what they did. Her struggle was from the fact that she had just cheated on her boyfriend by having sex with her best friend, and realizing that she loved him more than Jace.


She felt completely and utterly horrible at what she had done to her boyfriend, regardless of how poorly he treated her sometimes or how big his ego was. He was still a person. But then that little sliver of her was telling her to forget Jace completely and embrace everything she had discovered today.





"Atticus, what do I do? God, am I a bad person? Oh god I am, I am. I can't just go around cheating on people but I-" she looked up at Atticus with tear filled eyes. "-I love you so it makes it somewhat okay, right? Like, that was good for us and I just... God I suck,"

 

[PrincessKaty]

Atticus looked down at Evangel as she began to cry and felt his heart break at her words. It was obvious that this was a really hard thing for her and he didn't blame her one bit.


"No, no. You're not a bad person, Eva," He told her, sitting up with her. He wiped her tears from her cheeks and bit his lip. The thoughts that were going through his head were absolutely heartbreaking but if it would make Evangel feel better, then he'd have to put the suggestion out there for her to take.


"Eva, I'm always going to love you and you know that.." He told her and took in a breath,"So, if it's going to make things easier.. Maybe we should just forget about this whole thing until you decide what you really want to do.. I'll keep my distance at school like I've been doing and Jace won't suspect a thing. Everything can go back to normal, alright?"


It nearly made him sick to think about having to pretend like the last five hours didn't exist but he couldn't bare to see her in pain.

 

[kailey]

Evangel fell into Atticus's embrace as he sat up with her, drying her tears. They both appeared sad, but she wasn't prepared for what he said next.


After he was done speaking, she just looked at him blankly, trying to comprehend. She knew that the suggestion would hurt him and she couldn't bring herself to do that.





"I... I dunno. I don't want you to be hurt either. I can't just forget about all of this. And I need your help to figure all of this out, I need you close I just... I don't see how that is possible with Jace in the picture. I would feel absolutely terrible ending it with him but at the same time... I kind of want to," She rambled slightly, her words sometimes stopped by her sniffling.





"I'm so lost and confused Atticus. Can I please just stay here for the rest of my life and hide?" She pleaded, her voice actually sincere in her request.

 

[PrincessKaty]

"I'll be okay," Atticus told her with a little bit of a nod,"And I'll always here.. I just can't make those decisions for you..."


It as a lie. He wouldn't be okay. He'd be an absolute wreck. Even worse than last night's episode but he had to pretend like he was alright for her.


He grinned a little bit at her words. "You don't want to stay here, Eva," He assured her as he glanced around behind her.


Who was he kidding? He couldn't be with Eva. Just look at his room... It just was of a mess as he was. He couldn't even leave his room because of his parents. He did drugs or drank almost on a daily basis just to try and cope with all the shit that he'd been through. Eva didn't need his self-loathing and messed up life in her hands. Jace was probably better than him in that way. At least he was well off and secure with himself.


Suddenly, he felt absolutely terrible. He was angry with himself and the decisions that he'd made. He shouldn't have drug her away from him. She needed to be with a guy like him. Maybe not Jace specifically but not himself, that was for sure. He was a mess. An absolute mess.


"You need to be with him," He said, at first in a whisper but then as a second time more confidently as if it was the real, straight-up truth. He could feel his eyes burn with tears at the comment and when their eyes met. It wasn't what he wanted but it was what she needed.

 

[kailey]

Evangel was caught off guard by his statement. Since when did he actually want her and Jace to be together? She stared at him a moment before replying.





"Why do you say that?" Maybe he decided that he didn't want her anymore. Was it all a mistake? Was she not good enough? Eva began to tremble slightly as anxiety shot through her.


She didn't want to leave Atticus. Ever. She knew that to be a fact. She followed his gaze and began to put two and two together.





"Atticus... Please don't-" she gently placed her hand on his and noticed the years in his eyes. He had never cried before in front of her. She knew how broken he was, but she wanted to help.





"-don't think that because of all of this," she gestured to the room around her. "That this makes me think differently of you. It makes me sad to see you ultimately punishing yourself like that with the drinking and the drugs but... It doesn't make me love you any less," the auburn haired girl leaned over and gently kissed him. It was meant to be reassuring.
