Gaby decides for him

Suddenly Gaby fell backwards, laughing and covering herself, tying the robe.

"What the hell? Just a while ago you were crying about being destructive, and now..."

Gaby smiled and sat up facing him.

"Now that you have made it perfectly clear we are... Not. Going. To. Fuck," she said, punctuating each word with a poke to his chest, "teasing you just became a lot more fun. Also," she added looking down, "you should cover yourself too."

Alex looked down, but realized he was still covered, though it was obvious he had an erection. She laughed as she moved to sit next to him. Alex just hung his head.

"Answer me honestly," Gaby started, "If you weren't with Makayla, would you have let me fuck you?"

"If I wasn't with Makayla, would you want to fuck me?" he replied.

"Ouch, harsh... fair... but harsh. I admit I am intrigued by the fact you and Makayla aren't fucking like bunnies... especially having seen what you are carrying down there," she laughed as she glanced down at his cock. She then paused and got more serious. "You know, you were the one that introduced me to Matt. If you were single, whose to say I wouldn't have gone after you." She paused again. "That night at the party, you would have been my first choice, but ending two relationships and a friendship... not even I'm that destructive."

Alex was taken aback at the idea that Gaby would have been thinking about fucking him while she was with his friend.

"So you never answered MY question," she added.

Alex turned and looked her in the eyes.

"If I were single right now," Alex replied, "I would pick you up, throw you down onto that bear rug, and fuck you into next week."

"Oh no, no, no, no, no," Gaby replied as she quickly scooted away from him to the far side of the fireplace, "You stay right there, don't even get close to me. You. Stay."

"I..." Alex started to say, worried that he had really fucked up.

"Oh no, don't you even try to say you were joking or messing with me, I saw that look in your eyes. No, no, no, no, no you stay over there."

Alex was scared, what had he done.

"Oh, no, no, no. I thought I was playing with a pussy cat, but there's a tiger in there, and he just bared his teeth. You stay over there."

"Jesus Gaby, I'm not going to..."

"It's not you I'm worried about," she replied, cutting him off. "If you get near me I'm afraid I'm going to jump on you... and you won't be able to say no this time."

It took a moment for what she had just said to sink in, then his look of worry turned to shock as he stared at her.

"Oh you just made me wet," she said moving her arms between her spread legs, but her body still covered by the robe. "Fuck, Alex, I have never been this horny and not gotten laid. You are such a fucking tease."

Alex blinked.

"I'm a tease?"

She looked at him then started laughing, then Alex started laughing. She waved her hand in front of her face to try and cool herself down.

"Can you get me a bottle of water? I saw some in the fridge." she asked.

He went out to the kitchen and grabbed one.

"Bottled water, cans of spam, this guy really is serious about helping people in an emergency," Alex said as he approached Gaby.

"Nope. Stop. Toss it to me."

Alex rolled his eyes as he threw her the bottle and returned to his spot.

Gaby took a couple small drinks, then held the bottle against her sternum for a minute or so, then slowly lowered it down her body until it rested between her legs, her body still covered by the robe. Alex wished he had grabbed one for himself, he needed to cool down too. Gaby then picked up the bottle and downed the rest. She sat quietly for a few minutes just watching the fire.

"Much better," She said as she stood up and took the empty bottle to the kitchen. She then returned and stopped beside Alex, offering her hand. He took it and she lead him to the couch where they sat down side by side. Gaby placed her head on his shoulder.

"You really love her?" Gaby asked.

"Yeah," Alex responded.

"It would be wrong, as your friend to want it to not work out, but if things don't... do you think we..."

"I'd certainly give it a try," he answered.

Gaby placed her hand on his arm, squeezing his bicep.

"We'd be a silly looking couple, me being taller and all."

"I've never dated a taller woman, kind of intriguing actually."

She playfully smacked his arm. They sat in silence for a few minutes, he watching the fire, and her eyes closed, just laying on his shoulder.

"I guess we should get some sleep," he said, breaking the silence. I'll take the couch, you can have the bed."

"Such a gentleman," she said winking at him as she got up.

As she crossed the room, a thought came to him.

"Gaby."

"What?"

"A couple hours ago you were ready to take me. Now you are asking me to someday give you a chance. What changed?"

She looked at him thoughtfully for a few moments, then smiled.

"Rawr, Tiger,"she replied, then quickly ran to bed.
