Burn (him)

He started pacing the living room after she told them about nearly fainting. How could they have been so stupid? It was obvious from all the times Noah had tried to approach Cassie, that he was on the verge of doing something wreckless. He felt wired and only one thing would alleviate this energy coursing through Tommy right now. Would Sean be okay with this? He was thinking about doing something that could cost him his best friend and the girl he was starting to fall for.

Well... only one way to know.

It took Tommy two strides to get to where Sean and Cassie were embracing and reach for her face to smash his lips to hers. He felt her surprise but instantly felt it change to heat. She moved in Sean's lap to deepend the kiss, which Tommy could see made her shift positions to straddle with her back to him. He didn't want to miss any part of it which meant he saw Sean's reaction too.

Sean's hands, that were still on her waist, started slowly going lower. Tommy could see that it was a reaction, almost a reflect to comfort her. But in doing so, he moved the T-shirt she was wearing and he could see more and more of her body. It looked like Sean was in a trance, but Tommy could definitely see the fire in his eyes, as well as his love for her. For a split second he thought of turning back and leaving them there to face their feelings but that died fast when Cassie started feeling all of him. A hand slightly pulling the hair on his nape, the other feeling his torso and abs and lower too. He could see the rocking movement but wasn't sure if it was Sean's or Cassie's doing.

Tommy put the fingers of one hand through Cassie's hair and fisted the strands harder, pulling a moan from her. He was hard as a rock. Sean was reaching for the hem of his T-shirt on Cassie so he could take it off her. Had he always felt an attraction to her? Well, yes. She was a gourgeous woman and funny and smart and didn't make fun of his quirks and also shared her affection with the people who mattered the most. She was naked under it. She. Was. Naked. Was this a habit? Had she been sleeping naked all this time? How had he not known? He needed to stop overthinking this but he couldn't help it. His best friends were kissing still and he was there, a spectator of a show. He wasn't intruding since Cassie had been on HIS lap when Tommy practically shoved his tongue down her throat. She was moving on top of him and he was hard as a rock.

She was naked. Cassie had been naked all this time, and all he could think about now was sucking on her big breasts. But when he opened his eyes again, not wanting to miss a second of it, Sean was already to the task and also reaching between her legs. Cassie started to pull the zipper of his jeans down, unbuttoning and pulling him out. Her hand was soft on him so he couldn't stop the groan that sounded deep from his chest. He heard an echoing groan that came from Sean, apparently having entered Cassie.

- I need to taste you, Tommy. can I do that? omg... Sean, please move... omg... so full... Tommy say yes, let me have you - she pleaded with her eyes too.
- go a... - he had to clear his voice because he sounded hoarse - please, Cassie. I'll give you everything you want, just put me in your mouth
- Cassie, babe, you are squeezing me so hard. do you like sucking my best friend? - but he stopped talking for a second and moved her face to his - is this okay, Cassie? do you want us to stop? are you sure?
- omg... - she whispered - you don't want me - Tommy could barely hear her - you already regret what's happening. let me go, both of you, let me go!

All Sean could think about was making this amazing girl feel better, Tommy was trying to calm the anger all she told them by showing this girl he could protect her and Cassie was trying not to fall for them.

Cassie let go of Tommy and slipped from Sean's lap, picking the shirt off the floor and rushing to her room. Before the guys could process what was happening, she closed the door to the spare room and he heard the click of the lock turning. They were confused and horny, not a good combination on two very heated teenagers.

Cassie had been so fast to leave that neither of them knew what they said to make her so upset. Sean was the first to move. Tommy was just a step or two behind him, going straight to Cassie's room and knocking softly on the door.

- Cassie, what happened? please let us in and tell us what happened.
- Cass, babe, please... - Sean knocked on the door again. He was willing to go look for the spare key if she had locked the door, she was going to talk to him whatever it took. They heard muffled sounds on the other side and soft steps reaching the door.
- please... - she spoke softly - go away... I already feel so ashamed. I totally missread the situation and thought you were both into it... I can't let you look at me after that. I'm tired guys, let's go to sleep
- babe, you are out of your mind if you think I'm doing anything else besides coming in. if you don't want to continue what we were doing, that's fine. I just want to be there for you. I still want to kill him and that won't go away if I can't hold you. please... Cass... open the door... let me in... let us in

Tommy was looking at his friend with open eyes because he could feel the love he had for Cassie. What he wasn't sure about was his part in all this. He came to the realization that he was falling for her, no matter what her situation was, he wanted to be with her. At least try.

Sean was so intent on going in that he didn't see Tommy watching him closely. The only thing in his mind was getting inside and holding Cassie. He couldn't stand what had happened to her, the bruises, the pain she must be feeling after the asshole took advantage of her. He had decided she wasn't going to be alone ever again. He would make it work and he was going to let Tommy be there for her as well. Nothing had ever happened between Cassie and him before, even if he could recognize his physical attraction to her. He always thought their love was one like siblings. Clearly that wasn't the case.

After a couple of minutes, they heard a click of the lock and opened the door. Cassie was sitting agains the headboard, holding herself and with her feet under the covers. She wasn't crying anymore, he knew she didn't like crying infront of others. But her eyes were rimmed red and her t-shirt had small droplets that showed where her tears had fallen.

They stood there, waiting for her to give them a sign that it was okay to come to her.

- please don't shame me. I know I should've known better but I just thought we were all into it...
- what gave you the impression we were anything less than fucking interested, Cass? - Sean had clenched his fists and was near vibrating
- are you kidding me, Sean?! you all but made me believe like you were only doing it do distract me!
- I was just making sure you were okay with what was happening! what, are you so used to threesomes with best friends that you forgot how consent works?! - Sean stopped, understanding dropping on what he had just blurted.
- Sean... - Cassie looked so hurt Tommy could feel it in his heart. Her eyes filled with tears but she didn't let even a snif be heard. Tommy could see the change happening as if it was a tv show and a narrator was describing the internal fight and her walls closing around her.
- shit, Cass! I didn't mean that. - Cassie stood from the bed and started gathering her things - Cass, what are you doing? babe, please stop!
- NO SEAN! you no longer get to call me anything. I don't want you to look at me, talk to me, don't even get close to me because I'll scream bloody murder if you do. HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?! you know! you know how bad it gets at school sometimes. YOU are the one that's always there for me when someone comes treating me like a whore WHEN I'M NOT! how could you?!
- I WASN'T THINKING CASSIE PLEASE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! can you stop and stay?!
- NO! NO! NO! no more! if I wanted to be treated like a whore, I'd stay at home and wait for my Mother arrive, if ever. you of all people should know better
- Cassie, you can come with me - Tommy finally spoke. He won Sean's anger when he turned and started glowering at him. - I'm only suggesting she can stay some place safe until we can all calm down and talk peacefully, stop looking at me like that. I'm not the enemy, Sean. would you rather she go home? sorry, Cassie, I didn't know things were that bad...
- how could you? Sean is who I trusted with everything and here we are, with him throwing it in my face! - she finished packing and didn't even think about changing, just started walking to the door. - don't worry, Tommy. I can rent a room for the night and then see where I can crash if I have to stay out of my Mother's house. thank you, do you need a ride or are you...
- NO ONE IS LEAVING, DAMMIT! - Sean was about to burst and Cassie could see that, so could Tommy.
- dude, let her go for the night. Cassie, Sean will let you go if you promise to talk to us tomorrow. and before you say anything else, both of you, I was about to have the best time of my life. so you both better get it together so we can re-start whatever that was. I could totally do without Sean but the look in Cassie's face makes it worth it, if that's what you want, Cassie. - he turns to Cassie - so, Cassie, what do you say?

Cassie looked both of them in the eye and noded. That's all she could do without sobbing. She then turned around and took off to her car. Neither followed, Tommy still confused about how things had taken a turn and Sean looking to the floor and with his shoulders down.

Tommy stayed with Sean that night, after all it was Friday and they could do lots of things. Tomorrow they would talk to Cassie and finish what they started. Or at least that's what he thought...
