Shyness doesn't become you

Robert had just gotten off the phone with Lucy, telling her he would have some friends over at the apartment for lunch, thus, removing her panties from the sofa was a requirement. At that comment she threatened to open the door wearing nothing but her panties which initially gave him a hard-on. Remembering his friends were going home with him, however, had him quickly apologizing for teasing her. She was very well capable of opening the door with only a thong on for all to see and he certainly was not about to share Lucy.

Knowing Liz had gone to work, he wondered if he should tell Matt Liz wasn’t home so he could stop sweating. They had stopped playing basketball about an hour ago and yet, the guy was obviously a nervous wreck. As he looked over at the guy, he chuckled to himself thinking he’d let Matt sweat. The guy was born to fly. He had pretty much beat Robert’s team single handedly; this would be his payback time.

Robert actually, really liked Matt, unlike Mark, who hadn’t rubbed him the right way when they had met. Matt, after getting over his initial shock, openly asked him tons of questions about Liz. After the guys had enough hearing about the “green-eyed goddess” as Tony called her, or the “green-eyed goblin” Danny was now referring to her as, he got to know Matt a little and really liked his laid back, casual demeanor. He had a sly sense of humor but was also reserved in some ways, much like Liz. ‘This should be interesting’ he thought, as he opened the door to their apartment.

“Hey baby, welcome home” Lucy said, dressed in a tight black turtle neck and fitted jeans.

She looked damned hot and he knew she knew it. Giving him a sly smile, she put down the last of the plates in her hand, and slowly walked straight into his arms, wrapping her hands around his neck.

“I missed you , honey” she said softly, before laying a gentle kiss on his lips which quickly became hotter.

‘Damn’ he thought, ‘she’s going to make me kick everyone out in 2 seconds if she doesn’t pull away.’ There was no way he could draw himself away from her hot tender lips. She had this uncanny ability to turn his mind to mush and his cock rock hard with a simple, gentle kiss. Just as he was about to slam the door, leaving his friends outside, she backed off, holding the door in her hand and invited their guests in.

“Damn, why doesn’t my wife greet me like that when I walk in the door? She just sniffs me and sends me straight to the shower” Tony complained, eyeing Lucy as she walked back to the kitchen table.

“That’s cause you stink” Matt said, nervously laughing and looking around to see if he could catch a glimpse of Liz anywhere.

This was definitely her apartment, he was sure of it. He had been standing right on the other side of that door just this morning, but there was no sign of Liz within.

‘Oh, sorry Matt, I forgot to mention Liz was working today.” Robert casually mentioned, not being able to control his laughter.

Lucy face snapped up realizing what Robert just said. She looked directly at Robert and gave him a sly smile. ‘So this was Matt, hunh’ she thought. ‘Let’s see what’ we’ve got here.’

Checking him out she realized her friend definitely had good taste when it comes to guys. Mark was more of an intellectual hottie, but this guy, just screamed sex. Ok, so maybe not just sex, but he had a tall, dark and mysterious, kind of dangerous thing happening, which was definitely attractive.

Robert noticed Lucy checking out Matt, so he doubled over to her and slid his arms around her waist. “Down girl.” He murmured in her ear, “He’s taken.”

Realizing she had been openly staring, which had made Matt slightly uncomfortable, she had the decency to blush slightly.

“Why don’t you guys sit down,” Lucy said, as she smiled at the group, “I hope you all like sandwiches.”

Obviously Mark was working today. Obviously! Couldn’t The Graces be on her side for once! What was she going to tell him? As she watched Mark look up from the counter enclosing the nurse’s station, she smiled back at him, nervously.

‘I have to come up with something’ she thought, as she watched Mark walk over to her with a concerned expression plastered all over his face.

“Hey, Liz, how are you? I was really worried about you after you didn’t answer your cell phone last night. Are you feeling better this morning?” Mark asked, frowning down at Liz.

“Ummm, yes…much better actually” she mumbled, avoiding eye contact, “Ahh, I gotta start my shift, I’ll talk to you later.” Liz turned around and was about to walk off when Mark grabbed her arm and turned her back to him, stared into her eyes.

“You sure you’re okay? You’re acting a little weird.” Mark said, eying her carefully. Taking a big breath, Liz looked up at him and gave him the sweetest smile she could muster.

“Of course, I’m fine, but thanks for asking” Liz said, slowly edging herself away from Mark. She needed time to think and right now, all she wanted to do was run away.

“Of course I’d ask how my girlfriend was doing, that’s what a boyfriend is suppose to do” Mark shrugged, turning to wave at an attendant who passed by.
‘Wait a sec, boyfriend? When did that happen?’ Liz thought, slightly panicking.

“Anyway, I’ve gotta go Liz, maybe we’ll get together for lunch or something” Mark said, giving her a quick peck on the cheek and turning to walk off to surgery.

Liz stood there, shocked, not knowing what had just happened.

“You did what???????” Liz shreaked, as she tightened her hold on her cell phone, shocked at what she just heard.

“I fed him Lizzie, as in food..you know, sandwiches, bread, chicken, tomatoes” Lucy exaggerated as she held the kitchen phone to her ear.

Liz couldn’t believe her friend, now was not the time to be playing games. “No Luce, back up the trolley here. You said sex life and kinky and handcuffs in there way before you squeezed in food?”

“Oh that. Not a big deal really. I just asked him about his sex life. He didn’t even answer me, his friend Danny told me all there is to know.” Lucy smiled, happy she was able to make the guy squirm. ‘I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone turn that exact shade of purple actually, especially when Danny started in on the first time he had sex. I didn’t realize guys actually spoke about all that stuff.’

“hehe, trust me Liz, you missed a rather….interesting….conversation, You’re friend is quite the experienced one, and quite into you too actually. I’ll be knocking on your door at five in the morning pretty soon telling you to knock it off.”

Liz softly blushed. She had to get to sleep this morning since she had work and that was the only way she knew how to quiet them down. Liz thought about what Lucy had said as she chewed on her lower lip. So he was experienced. This shouldn’t bother her, yet it did. She has never been with anyone before and Matt….she was sure Lucy would fill her in later. What if she wasn’t good enough in bed for him? What if she made a complete fool of herself? Actualy, that wouldn’t even be a ‘what if’, that was guaranteed.

“Anyway, I’m making Lemon Chicken for supper tonight, so are you almost home?” Lucy asked, unaware her friend was lost in her own thoughts.

“Ah…what? Yeah…yeah…I’m just around the corner.” Liz mumbled, still thinking about Matt and her lack of confidence in all things sexual.

“Cool, cause Matt’s joining us for supper.”
