Original Sin

“Zip, you can’t come inside,” Sin told him again, not meeting his eyes.

“Why not?” Zip asked, honestly confused. “I just want to know what’s going on with you. I flew here to see you, and now you’re acting like you want nothing to do with me. I know you told me you can’t promise me anything, Sin, but don’t pretend like what happened before I left didn’t mean anything. It did mean something, didn’t it?”

Sin had never heard Zip sound so sincere. His dark eyes were filled with hurt and mystification. And she knew he was right; he deserved an explanation. “Zip, that weekend… it was wonderful. And I do care about you; I always will. But… I’m seeing someone now.” The stark realization of her own statement took Sin by surprise, and she had to suppress a smile as she thought of Eddie.

Shaking his head sadly, Zip gave Sin a small smile. “Well, I should have known that someone else would snap you up while I had my head up my ass.” Looking at Sin, Zip shrugged. “At least tell me it’s not one of my friends…”

“It’s not,” Sin told him, not adding that Zip did know the person she was dating. She was pretty sure Zip and Eddie had only exchanged a few sentences between them the few times they had met. That definitely didn’t define friendship. “But thanks, Zip. You’re being pretty cool about this,” Sin added, appreciative of how he was acting.

“Well, I can’t lie,” Zip told Sin. “I know you can’t have been dating this guy for too long; after all, we were only together recently. So maybe… maybe, if things don’t work out between the two of you…”

“I hope things do work out,” Sin replied, trying to control her annoyance. She knew Zip was only being truthful about what he was feeling. Still, she didn’t like the idea of him hoping that she and Eddie wouldn’t work out – even if he didn’t realize that Eddie was the person she was seeing now. “And I plan to put my whole self into this relationship.”

“Shit,” Zip gave Sin a crooked grin. “Seems like this guy has really gotten to you.”

“He has,” Sin willed herself to not blush in front of Zip.

Nodding, Zip stood silently for a minute. “Okay,” he told her. “I guess I have to accept that… for now.”

“Stop saying shit like that,” Sin could no longer control her anger. “Stop trying to fucking get in my head and make me think that what I have now is temporary, and things with you are inevitable. What I have now is new, yes, but it’s good, Zip. It’s more real than anything you and I ever had.”

Taking a step towards Sin, Zip took her by surprise. “You might really believe that,” Zip told her softly. “But you can’t blame me for hoping you’re wrong… for hoping that things between you and me might work out. Because it’s what I want.”

About to spit out a retort, Sin was cut off by Zip’s lips on her own. She felt his hands on her shoulders, and she knew he was kissing her with all the passion in his body. Still, she put her hands on his chest and pushed him back. “Fuck you,” Sin said coldly. “I just told you I was seeing someone; you had no right to do that.”

Zip truly looked shocked to feel his body shoved from Sin’s, and to hear her words. His expression resembled that of a puppy that had been kicked. “Sin,” he tried to explain. “You and I have always seen other people. But it always ended up being you and me in the end; what’s wrong of me thinking that’s still true?”

“Because I really care about someone else now,” Sin said. “I care about someone else a lot, and I was never able to say that before, about anyone that I dated.”

Not saying anything for a long time, Zip seemed to be trying to understand what Sin was telling him. “You can hate me now,” Zip finally said. “But I still think you and I have a chance. But that’s it; I’ve said my peace. I’ll go now. But I will be back in town in a couple months, Sin. And if things with you and this new guy don’t work out…”

“If you really fucking cared about me, Zip,” Sin said, exasperated. “You would hope things work out, because I want them to.”

Shaking his head, Zip gave Sin a sad smile. “I get what you’re saying,” he told her. “And I’ll go now. But I won’t lie; I just won’t say anything else.”

“Fine,” Sin crossed her arms in front of her. “I’d appreciate it.” She stood there as she watched Zip walk away, until he had turned the corner of the hallway towards the exit. When he was finally out of sight, she let out a deep breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.

‘Fuck this,’ Sin thought to herself. ‘I don’t care what Eddie said. I have to see him tonight. I couldn’t possibly sleep knowing Zip is the last person that kissed me. Not after knowing what it felt like to have Eddie kiss me earlier…’

With a smile to herself, Sin rushed into her apartment to change out of her dress and into jeans and a t-shirt. As soon as she was in her regular clothes, Sin grabbed her keys and rushed out again. She was going to Eddie’s, and that was all there was to it.

-----

When Eddie heard a knock on his apartment door, he smiled to himself. He couldn’t imagine than anyone besides Sin would be showing up at his door at one in the morning. And even though he had been the one to say they should go home separately, he wanted nothing more than to hold Sin close and kiss her again.

As the door swung open, Sin looked up at Eddie’s welcoming face. He was in a pair of flannel pajama bottoms without a shirt, and – once again – the sight of his bare chest was making Sin’s heart race a little faster. “We’re seeing each other,” she blurted out immediately.

Raising his eyebrows, Eddie gave Sin a little smirk. “Did you think we’d both be invisible if you came over here?”

Rolling her eyes, Sin shook her head. “Don’t be a jackass,” she told Eddie. “Earlier tonight, you asked what’s going on between us. And I realized the answer: we’re seeing each other.”

Looking down into Sin’s serious gray eyes, Eddie tried not to smile too much. “And you had to come all the way over here tonight to tell me this?” he teased. “You couldn’t have called, or waited until we saw each other tomorrow?”

Taking a deep breath, Sin forced herself to tell Eddie the truth. “No, I couldn’t wait,” she said as Eddie opened the door wider and ushered her into his studio apartment. Turning back to face him, Sin hoped he would be understanding about this. “See, when I got back to my apartment… Zip was waiting there for me.”

Swallowing hard, Eddie tried to take this in. Crossing the room to sit on the small sofa, he motioned for Sin to sit beside him. “What’s Zip doing back in town?” he asked, hoping his voice didn’t sound as frightened out loud as it did in his head.

“The band had a few days off, so he flew here to see me,” Sin explained.

Trying hard to control his emotions, Eddie looked over at Sin. “Listen, I’m not exactly sure why you came here…” he admitted. “I know you and Zip have a history, and I know he meant a lot to you, at least at one time. What you and I have… I mean, we’ve only had one night with a few innocent kisses. Did you come here to tell me that you’re still interested in Zip?”

Reaching over to take Eddie’s hand, Sin shook her head and gave him a smile. “I came here to tell you that you’re the only person I’m interested in.”

It took a moment for the words to sink in, but when they did, Eddie’s eyes lit up. He reached over and gently cupped Sin’s cheek with one hand. “You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you say that,” he told her earnestly. “Because the truth is that I’m crazy about you, Sin.”

Without saying anything, Sin leaned over and let her eyes flutter closed as her mouth met Eddie’s. His lips eagerly pressed against hers, as his hand stroked her cheek. As Sin parted her lips, she felt Eddie’s tongue slide gently into her mouth to caress her own, and she felt a shiver run down her spine.

Letting his hand move from Sin’s cheek to her neck, Eddie’s fingers traced over the skin softly. Her mouth was so warm against his as his fingers buried into her hair, pulling her closer to him. As he felt Sin’s hand begin running circles over his bare chest, Eddie couldn’t focus on anything but having Sin close to him finally.

Releasing a little gasp of surprise into his mouth, Sin allowed Eddie to take her by the waist and pull her onto his lap, straddling his hips. Loving the feel of his tight chest under her hands, Sin kept exploring the muscles as her mouth moved from Eddie’s so she could place kisses along his jaw and throat. She heard him let out a soft moan, and pulled back to look at him for a moment.

Sin’s face was flushed with desire as Eddie reached up and pushed her hair back over her shoulder. “Are you sure you want to continue like this tonight?” Eddie asked, his breathing labored. “I mean, I don’t want to rush anything if it’s going to cause a problem for us in the future. Like I said, I’m crazy about you. We can move slower, if you’d like.”

Watching Eddie’s concerned face as he spoke, Sin smirked a little. “You know what?” she told him, reaching down for the hem of her t-shirt and pulling it over her head. She tossed the top to the floor, and then reached behind her to unhook her bra, sliding the straps down her arms slowly until her upper body was in full view for Eddie. Reaching down, she took one of Eddie’s hands from its present location on her hip, and guided to her breast. “You think too fucking much,” she told Eddie. Leaning forward, Sin put her mouth to Eddie’s ear. “I want you,” she said softly, feeling his body ripple slightly below her in response to her words, and she then pulled back to look at him again.

“I have never wanted anyone so much in my whole life,” Eddie looked Sin in the eye as he spoke. At the same moment, he allowed his hand to begin massaging her breast. Without another word, Eddie leaned forward and trailed soft kisses along Sin’s shoulder, across her collar bone, and over to the other shoulder. The soft sigh that Sin released was more than enough encouragement for Eddie to continue.

Biting her lip, Sin tilted her head back as she felt Eddie’s mouth lowering slowly. The gentle way he was scraping the pads of his fingers over her nipple was turning her on incredibly. When she finally felt his mouth reach her firm breast, she let out a soft moan, encouraging Eddie to keep going.

Eddie was leaving moist kisses all over Sin’s breast, but when he felt her hardened nipple against his lips, he reached out with his tongue and began flicking the small nub. The soft noises coming from Sin were more than approval, so he pulled the nipple between his lips, applying gentle pressure while still teasing it with the tip of his tongue. When he had tortured that breast enough for now, he let his mouth wander over the dip between Sin’s breasts, and over to her other breast to give it the same treatment.

Sin couldn’t believe how wonderfully excruciating Eddie’s gentle actions were on her body. She couldn’t decide if she was ready to throw him down and take him right then, or if she would prefer to spend the night being slowly teased, probably to death.

The decision was made for Sin a moment later, though, when she felt Eddie slide his hands under her ass and stand up, holding her around his waist. Crossing the small room, he gently placed her down on the bed and leaned over to kiss her deeply again, his heaving chest pressing into her own.

Saying nothing, Sin just watched as Eddie began running kisses down her body again. As his mouth reached the tattoo that ran across her lower stomach from hip to hip, he began to undo the button on her jeans, and Sin felt herself flush. It suddenly hit her what was happening: she and Eddie really were about to be together.

His body begging for more, Eddie ignored his desires and continued focusing on Sin. He wanted tonight to be perfect, and he wanted to take his time letting Sin know how perfect he thought she was. Sliding her jeans and underwear down over her lean legs, he helped her remove them entirely and then knelt between her thighs. “You are so beautiful…”

“Thank you,” Sin replied, having no urge to make one of her usual snide comments. The way Eddie was looking at her was making her believe he really did find her beautiful – and not just on the outside. She watched as Eddie slowly ran his hands up her thighs, until one hand finally reached up and traced its fingers over her soft curls, making Sin gasp and close her eyes.

Eddie was incredibly pleased to feel how hot and moist Sin’s body was; she obviously wanted him as much as he wanted her. Tracing his fingers over her folds, he reveled in the small cry she released as he touched her clit for the first time. Unable to wait longer now, Eddie lowered his head and prepared for his fantasy to become reality.

As Eddie’s mouth descended on Sin, she squeezed her eyes tightly shut. The feeling was incredible as he kissed her softly, finally allowing his tongue to reach out and taste her. When she felt the broadest part of his tongue make one long, languid movement from her opening to her clit, she opened her eyes and let out a moan.

This was exactly the reaction Eddie had been hoping for. Inhaling her scent deeply, he used his fingers to separate her fold before allowing his tongue to descend inside her, tasting her fully. He felt her bury one hand into his hair, and smiled to himself as his tongue traced circles around the outside and then plunged inside Sin’s body again.

With Eddie’s hair in one hand, Sin took the sheets in her other. When she felt Eddie’s mouth pull away slightly, she almost groaned in disappointment. But when she suddenly felt two fingers sink inside her, she let out a cry of pleasure instead. As Eddie’s mouth descended on her again, this time his lips taking her clit between them and his tongue tracing over it, Sin felt like her body temperature doubled.

Eddie began speeding up the movement of his fingers as Sin’s body started to press down against his mouth and hand. He loved the heat and moisture that surrounded his fingers, the velvety softness of Sin. He couldn’t wait to be surrounded even more fully by her.

Between’s the attention she was receiving from Eddie’s hand and his mouth, Sin felt her lower body soon begin to tingle. She repeated Eddie’s name over an over again, each time a bit louder, until finally she bit down hard on her lip to stop from screaming out as her muscles tightened and indescribable pleasure filled her body.

Gently removing his fingers from her body, Eddie allowed his tongue to reach down once more and clean some of the moisture that Sin’s body had released during her orgasm. As he had suspected he would, he loved her sweet flavor.

Sin’s breathing was beginning to even out as Eddie moved up her body. She opened her eyes in time to watch him tenderly push some sweat-laden hairs from her forehead and smile at her. “Was that okay?” he asked with a self-satisfied grin, knowing what the answer was already.

Smirking, Sin reached up and touched his face. “Pretty good,” she teased. As Eddie dropped his head to her shoulder, his body effectively blanketing hers, she could feel his erection through his pajama pants against her thigh. “Did you want to stop for now?” Eddie asked softly, honestly, although Sin could tell from his body’s present state that he really hoped to receive a ‘no’ answer to his question. Luckily for him, Sin wanted nothing more than to be close to him.

Pushing back his shoulder, Sin said nothing in response, but when Eddie was rolled over on his back, she gave him a wordless answer. She did this by climbing above him, straddling his thighs. Reaching up, she ran her hands seductively over his chest and stomach until they reached the top of his pants. Then they continued moving down, tracing over the hardness under the fabric and making him flinch. Appreciative of how attentive Eddie had just been to her, Sin decided not to tease him any longer and reached for his waistband, helping him remove his pants and boxers.

Eddie watched as Sin removed his clothing and then moved back up his body. When she reached forward and took his length in her hand, he couldn’t help but let out a small gasp. Sin began stroking him knowingly, watching his face and enjoying the look of contentment spread across it. When she reached down with her other hand and took his balls in her hand, the action made Eddie jump. Gently massaging his balls while stroking his erection perfectly, Sin let out a soft laugh when she heard Eddie whimper. At the sound, she released him and leaned up to kiss him on the lips.

“I have condoms in my purse,” Sin whispered against Eddie’s mouth. “But I am on the pill, and I am clean – I get tested regularly even though I NEVER do this unprotected. So it’s up to you if you want to use anything, since I’m fairly sure you’re trustworthy…”

Looking into her nervous eyes, Eddie was overcome with affection. He knew that this was Sin’s way of telling him he was different – that she trusted him. As an answer, he put his hands on her hips and gently pulled her down until he was aligned with her body.

It was the truth; Sin hadn’t had unprotected sex in over four years, and she still got tested every three months despite this. So when she finally pressed down, allowing Eddie to fill her completely, she felt like she was sharing something far more intimate that sex with him at that moment. If he didn’t feel so good inside her, Sin might have gotten emotional for a moment.

But in all truth, the feeling was so good that neither Sin nor Eddie could concentrate on anything for the moment aside from how well their bodies fit together. Reaching up, Eddie put his hands on Sin’s hips as she began to ride him, and just watched for a while as she moved above him. She had one hand on her thigh for balance, and another tangled in her hair. Her face looked serious for a moment, but as Eddie began lifting his body, meeting Sin’s movements with his thrust and managing to move even deeper inside her, Sin’s eyes closed and pure joy passed over her expression.

Placing one hand on the pillow on either side of his head, Sin pressed her lips to Eddie’s for a kiss. She felt him slide one arm around her waist, and the speed and intensity of his movements increased. Sin immediately met up with this increase, riding Eddie hard and fast. Her breathing was getting erratic, as was Eddie’s, and Sin felt like her heart was going to pound right out of her chest. As soon as she felt Eddie’s hand slide between their perspiration-soaked bodies and touch her already oversensitive clit, Sin knew she was going to climax again any second now.

The passion and heat between his body and Sin’s was making Eddie ache. When he heard her take a sharp intake of breath as he teased her clit mercilessly, he knew what was about to happen, so he pressed up hard into Sin a last few times until she cried out and her body tightened around Eddie. This was enough for Eddie, as he felt his body give in as well, pleasure pulsing through him as he groaned and came hard inside Sin.

Sin’s head immediately fell to Eddie’s chest as she tried to catch her breath, and she smiled as she heard his heart pumping hard beneath her. She felt Eddie reach his arms around her, holding her to him and stroking her hair tenderly as he sighed contentedly. “I’m so glad you ignored me and came over here tonight,” Eddie finally said.

Laughing, Sin lifted her body from Eddie’s a little and smiled into his warm, tired eyes. “I told you that you think too fucking much,” she leaned down to kiss him softly. “You just need to do what feels right sometimes, even if it isn’t what you were raised to believe WAS right. Like fucking me the same night we have our first kiss.”

It was Eddie’s turn to laugh, now, but that quickly subsided as he looked in Sin’s eyes. “You know,” he told her softly, running the back of his hand across her cheek. “I think this thing between us is going to be very good.”

Nodding, Sin swallowed hard. “Me too,” she whispered, dropping her head to his chest again. As she felt his lips whisper over her forehead, she looked up. “I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next.”

Allowing Sin to slide next to him, Eddie wouldn’t release her from his embrace, and she settled comfortably splayed halfway across his body. Sin felt Eddie’s hand lightly moving over her arm and smiled to herself. ‘So this is what this is supposed to feel like…’ she told herself, closing her eyes and snuggling close to Eddie. ‘I get it now.’
