Chapter Fourteen

Athena's POV

''Do you do squats?'' Liam says, looking down at his warm strawberry tea. He runs his fingers on the mug—feeling the warmth meeting his own.

''Come again?'' I narrow my eyes at him. There was no need for him to question me but then again, it bothers me. Why would he want to know?

Liam leans in, our face inches apart, his brown eyes seems brighter, ''Do you, Athena—'' He crosses his arm without moving an inch away from me, ''Do squats?''

His voice came out as a faintly whisper. Doesn't he know I'm married? To Alex, he's friend, he's teammate. Alex told me he was there at the wedding so I'm hundred and fifty percent sure he knows. I press my lips into a thin line, looking down at the bridge of his well shaped nose.

''Why?'' I question, raising an eyebrow at him.

''It feels like you do.'' He shrugs, leaning back and taking a few more sips of his tea. Liam gulps and I can see him clenching his jaw. He, mimics Alex quite a lot, they clench their jaws at least ten times a day.

I shake my head, ''How can you talk about it casually?'' My jaw hangs open a bit before closing it back and turning to look away from him.

Alex went upstairs to take a shower—leaving me and Liam downstairs. We haven't started a conversation but he just goes on and on asking me about some sort. How long could it be to take a shower? Well, I take long showers and baths. That's exceptional for me, I'm a woman.

Woman needs time to pamper themselves in the bathroom.

''I felt it.'' Liam chuckles, putting his mug down. He shakes his head, his long eyelashes give him an impression of tightly closed eyes as he laugh.

I roll my eyes and just in time, I hear Alex walking down the stairs. I look toward his direction, seeing him messing with his hair. When he reaches the last stair, he walks straight ahead toward us.

''When is Liam going home?'' I ask Alex. He looks down at me, pressing his palm on the kitchen counter. It may sound like I'm throwing the guest—his friend—out but he has been here for nine hours. And for those past nine hours, he has been eyeing me.

''Actually, I'm staying the night.'' Liam rubs his lower lip with his index finger.

My eyes widen, raising an eyebrow at Alex, ''What?''

Alex clenches his jaw, ''Yeah, he's staying the night.'' He looks down at his fingers, avoiding my eye.

I breathe in, ''How come?''

''You don't like me here, Athena?'' Liam says, pretending to be hurt when he puts his hand on his chest, faking tears.

I keep my mouth shut but my eyes shows how much I don't want him here. He may be Alex's friend and I may sound rude but what if he finds out about Alex and I? What if he can't be trusted?

''Wait, don't tell me you guys planned for some kinky sex tonight?'' Liam raises an eyebrow at both me and Alex. He gives us a knowing look.

''What are you talking about? Of course n—'' I shake my head furiously and I can see that Liam doesn't believe in me, not a little bit.

''Yeah yeah, keep telling me that.'' He yawns, stretching his arms. He stands up, leaving his mug on the kitchen counter, ''Goodnight, lovebirds.'' Before he goes on, he turns around, ''Oh and please, if you guys are doing the deed, keep it down a little will ya'? I don't want to be disturbed.''

My mouth hangs open as he walk toward the living room, sitting on the couch that I use for sleeping. He takes the pillows I have been using—he pats them lightly—before laying on his back, covering his eyes with the back of his hand. He moves a bit for awhile before staying completely still.

He must have fallen asleep.

''We'll talk upstairs.'' Alex interrupts. He whispers into my ear, only enough for me to hear.

I watch as he walk past me, his back completely facing me. I follow behind him, closing the kitchen lights and the living room lights. There's only one table lamp left open for Liam in case he wakes up or anything in the middle of the night.

Walking up the stairs, Alex turns off the light on the hall before walking into his room. I follow afterwards and he closes the door behind us. I am greeted with the smell of him. His smell.

I breathe in, loving his smell. A tint of vanilla and peppermint. Sometimes it's a turn on for me to find him smell extremely good. Especially if he keeps himself clean.

''You didn't even tell me he's sleeping over.'' I cross my arm—standing at the same spot.

Alex turns his head, peeking at me before sitting on his bed. He cracks his neck a little. I watch as he closes his eyes for a moment, ''He's my friend, Athena. He used to sleep over before we were even married.'' He replies.

''I know. That's your right because this is your house. It's just that I'm worried if he might find out about the two of us.'' I speak, pointing out at my thought, ''It could turn out bad.''

Alex sighs, ''You don't have to worry. He won't find out. He's not the person who wants to check what's underneath our pants so... just relax.''

He looks at me for awhile, waiting for my answer. I just stand with my arms crossed, looking back at him. His droopy eyes makes me feel interested and it reminds me of him when we end up sleeping together on the same bed at my parent's.

''You want a to build a pillow wall?'' Alex raises an eyebrow.

''Yes. I'd do whatever it takes for you to not touch me.'' I state and take a few unused pillows inside his walk-in closet. I take out around four and he just eyes me when I throw them on the bed.

One hits his lap but he just takes it to lay down his head. ''Come, I'm tired.'' He mutters under his breath, his voice sounded huskier.

I walk toward the wall, turning off the lights, leaving one table lamp on. Alex has already snuggle up in his position and at his side. He holds onto one pillow tightly, his eyes closed.

Putting two pillows to block him from reaching me. When I look up at him, I find that he has already fallen asleep. His chest rising up slowly, matching his breathing.

I take my time to eye his soft brown hair falling a bit around his forehead—sticking out in different directions. I find it cute and sexy at the same time.

He is facing me, laying on his side. Our heads are a few inches apart, separating us. I look down at his collarbones, finding them exposed. My eyes move more below, finding that his shirt is lifted up a little, showing off his abs.

If I could spend the night thinking about what had happened to my life ever since he came in, it would make me wonder more. It sounds surreal to find a hot footballer sleeping on the same bed as me.

It's not just that, he's my husband. I'm his wife. We are married. Not because of love but because of an agreement. Even though it doesn't have anything to do with our feelings, we are lawfully married.

I close my eyes, snuggling a bit close to the pillow walls I've built. I feel Alex moving beside me and I can also feel his forehead touching mine but I was too tired to open my eyes.

''Goodnight, Athena.'' He whispers faintly into my ears, leaving a warm peck on the cheek.

It made me smile unknowingly. I know he has move back to his side when I feel his forehead moving away from mine and his heat retreating.

Goodnight, Alex.

I thought to myself.

((This might be a bit sexual and you can skip if you want hehe but I know most of you will just read, naughty eh))

He grabs me by the waist, slowly hugging me from behind. Alex snuggles up close to my neck, inhaling my scent. I chuckle as he leaves a few more kisses, leaving me feel hot and wanting.

''You smell like lavender.'' Alex mutters under his breath.

I smile, even though I know he couldn't see me smiling, ''I smell like you.'' I reply. My hands move up to his chest as I turn around, resting my forehead on his. He's taller than me so he has to look down a little so that our foreheads could touch.

He smiles down at me.

''I'm a very lucky man.'' He touches my arms, leaving his warmth behind. I shiver at his touch and I know he could sense it.

''How so?''

''You're mine. You're mine only. I get to touch you, feel you, care you, kiss you, love you. No one else can but me.'' He whispers into my ear, kissing down my earlobe, ''I'm a one hell of a lucky husband to have you as my wife, baby.''

I close my eyes when he moves down to bury his face into my neck. He kisses my neck until he finds my soft spot—he bites my neck and I let out a low moan—he bites more down until he reaches my collarbone. He tugs against the ends of my shirt before pulling it over my head.

His hands roam down to the middle of my chest and down to my stomach. I shiver once more, enjoying his touch. He kneels to kiss down on my stomach, slowly unbuttoning my jeans with his teeth. He manage to do it easily.

Alex moves up again, taking my lips. He kisses me passionately, leaving me kissing him back just the same. I pull the ends of his hair down his nape when he bites my lower lip which makes me moan and his tongue travels to meet mine.

''Alex.'' I moan his name and he groans before pushing me down lightly. I am now laying on his bed, how did I end up here?

He unclasp the middle of my bra, which causes him to get a full view of my breasts. My eyes widen when I find out that he knows ways with bras. His hand moves up to lightly caress them. I am starting to breathe heavily when he clench them.

''Oh!'' I yelp when I start to feel the pain and pleasure at the same time. He clench a bit too hard and he saw it so he kisses them before slowly caressing them again. I can't explain how heated up I feel.

I quickly throw his shirt on the ground before taking off his pants, leaving him in boxers only. I can't help but gaze at his toned chest and abs. I find myself touching every inch of it.

Alex pulls off my jeans roughly, his eyes filled with lust, with needs—urges. I pant when he gets down to kiss my calves, my thighs and to bite my inner thigh. His hand does it magic by caressing them slowly. I have always been turned on with thigh rubbing.

I feel him touching at the middle and my eyes shuts tightly when he starts to rub it lightly. From slow to fast. My mouth hangs open, enjoying the sensation.

''You...'' I mutter as I let out a long breath.

What surprised me next is when he pushes a finger in. My eyes widen at the sudden action but closes them back when he starts pushing in and out. The pleasure starts to build up, ''Baby you're so tight.'' He says, his voice a bit hoarse.

He adds up another finger which causes me to hold up his shoulder. I let out quite a loud moan and he seems to find it turning him on. I find myself nearing the edge and he can sense it too because I keep on tightening my inner walls.

''Baby, I want you as much as you want me.'' He stops pushing his fingers in as he moves up to whisper into my ear. His fingers still stays inside, causing me to still feel the pressure when they hit the walls.

''Alex, I need you.'' I pull his neck closer.

''I need you more, Athena.'' He whispers.

Alex pulls his fingers out to slowly put them in his mouth, sucking in. I watch as he gaze at me with lust, ''Baby, I want to touch every inch of your body.'' He says, ''I want you. So fucking bad.''

He lifts both of my legs up before leaning down to the middle. I look down to see him pushing his tongue in. I moan in pleasure once more as he does his magic. Oh god, the pleasure!

My hands start to shake as he pushes deeper, sucking and biting a little. He knows how to turn me on, very very turn me on. I groan when he keeps on teasing me. The pleasure builds up higher and higher that I can hear myself panting.

Alex stops when he finds that I was about to release.

''Baby,'' He whispers before adjusting his body in the middle. Alex looks directly at me, ''Baby you can say no.'' He whispers into my ear, causing me to groan.

''Alex please,'' I beg, ''I need you.''

He lifts one of my legs up before putting it up on his shoulder.

And with that he immediately pushes in, causing me to pull onto the covers. I let out a loud moan when I feel the pain building up in the middle. My breathing becomes heavier as he pushes in. He pushes slow and I start to feel full within a few seconds, ''I'm sorry baby, I'll stop.'' He says, slowly trying to pull himself out.

''No no.'' I shake my head as I feel a few tears streaming down my cheeks, ''Baby please, just continue.'' He stops moving, looking down at me.

He moves slowly after filling me with his full size. He pulls out and pushes in slowly. The pain starts to disappear and soon replaced with pleasures. I moan louder and louder as he thrusts.

''Fuck.'' He mutters under his breath as he closes his eyes.

He thrusts faster and I move my hips with him. He feels the pleasure and he keeps on building the speed. I find myself shaking at the pleasure. Our moans mix together, matching the rhythm.

Alex caress my thigh as he keep on moving. I can't help but not wanting the pleasure to end. My heartbeat raising every second. Our bodies heating up, touching skin with skin.

''Alex I'm—'' I say faintly.

''What? You what?'' I hear his voice calling out my name, ''Athena.'' He keeps on calling my name. My eyebrows furrow in confusion before slowly opening my eyes—revealing his face up close to mine. He is looking down at me.

He is using his elbows to support his body as he hovers on top of me.

Was that all a wet dream? I close my eyes in embarrassment knowing that he had heard me panting, ''Um did you hear anything else?'' I sit up straight. He lifts himself up, sitting beside me.

''No—'' He frowns, ''Am I supposed to hear anything else?''

My eyes widen as I shake my head, ''Oh lord, no you're not supposed to hear anything.''

Alex just stares at me in confusion. His hair is in all different directions as he keep on looking at me. He has eye bags under his eyes, showing that he's tired. There's hint of dark circles too. Alex slowly rubs the back of his neck, ''Is everything okay?'' He asks.

''Everything's fine.'' I mutter, ''What time is it?''

He presses his phone home button before looking down, ''Three forty five AM.'' When he looks up, his jaw is clenched.

3.45 AM.

''I'm sorry, Alex.'' I continue, ''Did I wake you up?'' I regret that I even had the chance to dream about him! It wasn't even a good dream, well it was a bit good. I felt like losing my virginity in some sort of wet dream. It feels weird that I felt everything. Everything felt real.

''You did.'' He nods a bit, ''Are you sure you're okay?'' He asks once more, this time he is already pulling the covers.

''I'm fine.'' I gulp, ''I'm sorry.''

Alex chuckles a bit, ''Nah, it's fine. Just don't pant and groan in your sleep anymore, okay?'' He smiles at me, showing off his teeth a little. My breath seems to get caught away from his beautiful smile.

How can I even look the same at him when I dreamt of him that way?

''Okay.'' I mutter under my breath.

After a few seconds, I feel him pulling my arm—I look down to find him patting on the pillow at my side, ''Come on, go back to sleep.'' He says, his voice low. It sounds somehow the same from the dream.

I follow and I lay my head on the pillow. I turn my head to look at him already closing his eyes. He is facing me, like before. Right now, he is crossing his arms, the comforter covers up till his stomach. Without me realising, he had pulled the comforter up till my waist too before he went back to sleep.

Snuggle a little bit near to him.

No. He might think of me differently.

Just do it.

But we have our pillow walls.

Bitch, please.

I roll my eyes before slowly moving toward him. I put my hand beside my head, trying my best not to wake him up. We are now close to each other but still not passing the border we made. He looks calm and I wish I could just kiss his cheeks. They look somehow puffy from the pressure he is putting on the pillow.

I close my eyes, lucky enough for me, those dreams never came back.

Just in time when I thought he has already fallen asleep for the second time, I feel his hand holding tightly onto my waist, securing me.
