“I've been attracted to you since I first met you."

I frowned and realized she WAS serious, but that didn't make sense.

"I'd Like to think I'm not unattractive, but I know I'm no Brad Pitt, either."

Turning slightly, enough that she could face me, Naimh gave me a little smile. "I didn't fall in love at first sight or anything, or even lust at first sight. When I first saw you, I thought you were kinda cute but nothing that got my panties wet right away. I was, however, quite curious to find what was so special about you that made five other girls include you in their club. And an hour later, I knew."

I blinked in surprise and asked, “What was it that made me so special?"

Her smile widened. "I can't put it into words. You were just so... so

Matty. You were so confident with the others, and confidence IS sexy.

But you were restrained at the same time, so in control. I watched the way Sam teased you, how FAR she teased you, and any other guy would have broken down and grabbed her boob or something. But you had that self-control, and yeah, self-control is sexy too. You were so masculine in a sea of hot teenage girls, and... well... I could see in your eyes the way you looked at ME. Kinda like the way you're looking at me now.

Even with all the other beautiful girls around you all the time, when you looked at me there was this... hunger... in your eyes. Raw desire.

And that made ME feel incredibly sexy too."

"You ARE incredibly sexy, Neevie. You're the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen."

The Irish beauty snorted and shook her head, looking away from me and blushing a little at the compliment.

“You've already had me. No need to butter me up."

“I'm not buttering; it's the truth." I took a deep breath, kicked my leg over, and moved myself out from behind Naimh so I could sit beside her on the couch instead. Looking her straight in those amazing emerald eyes, I stated honestly, “Before you came along, Sam and those massive tits of hers were my most common wanking fantasies. But you became my number one the day you arrived. You say you didn't fall in lust at first sight for me, but I actually DID. I'm being dead serious. You are... and have always been... the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen."

Now Naimh REALLY blushed, and with her fair complexion her face didn't just turn pink, but her face, ears, and neck all went crimson.

“Ohmigawd, Matty..."

“That I couldn't have you felt like the sickest joke at first. I remember praying you WOULDN'T join the BTC so I could ask you out ona date. I hadn't been on a date since the beginning of the year, having decided no one else was worthy of me spending time away from the club.

But then you showed up and I prayed so fervently I'd get the chance to ask you out."

Naimh shook her head and buried her face in one hand. That actually meant she was now only using one hand to trap her bra against her breasts, and the right cup hung down, exposing an erect pink nipple. I glanced at it for a moment and felt myself starting to harden, but quickly returned my gaze back to her lovely face.

“That didn't happen, obviously," I continued.

“You became part of the club, and The Rule was always The Rule. I got to know you more, and my desire for you only got even stronger. We've always flirted. We've always lusted for each other. To be perfectly honest, I always wanted to figure out if there could be room for romance and love as well. But

I learned to accept that because of The Rule, you could never be more than my friend and never my... well... never be my girlfriend.”

Naimh looked incredibly sad for a moment.

“You know, I always asked myself if I hadn't made the biggest mistake of my life joining the BTC.

At first, you were actually the REASON I joined. I didn't join for Sam;
