Well then, Mrs. Hilda. You don’t have to worry because I will take good care of your husband. And so I snake my fingers on the back of his neck and pull him closer to me. I press my chest against him and he groans at the gesture.
Suddenly, he lifts me, and I squeal. I wrap my legs around his waist and kiss him again. He’s a great kisser. No chaste kisses from him. I feel like I am being devoured and I like to do the same with him.
So, I did. Before long, I learn to play with his tongue. I learn how to allow him to scour my mouth. More importantly, I understand what it means to ‘deepen’ a kiss.
When I am dropped on the bed, I realize that the bed is a bit hard compared to the city hotel beds. But it’s fine. I just need to go through this. Besides, I am already breathing hard. And so I watch as Mr. Ellis crawls towards me, and I watch him with interest.
“Are you sure about this, teacher?” he asks, as he pins me on the bed.
I nod and focus my attention on him again. He looks like a predator about to devour his prey. And I am so ready for that. “Do it,” I say. I am already feeling the first hints of desire.
“I haven’t had sex for a while, so you might find me a bit…” He looks for the right word and I unbutton my blouse. His eyes move to my chest and he adds, “... rough.”
“I don’t care. Wreck me for all I care.”
I sit up and help him with his shirt. I take it off his body and I exclaim. Seriously, Hilda. Your husband has a very nice body! Lean and muscular. Like the models I see on TV. I snort. He’s a police officer, so is he training a lot? The handsome men I see in gyms have this kind of physique, too.
“Stop staring and let’s take your other clothes off,” he says. He holds the hem of my skirt and tries to pull it down.
“Take off your clothes and I will take care of mine,” I suggest.
“Should we shower first? Or would you like to get a go already?”
“We are just going to do a quick fuck. We’ll take a shower after this.”
I am about to take my panties off when I freeze. Is this okay? Having sex with a married man? Ugh, that was the point! I think and shake my head.
“Why aren’t you taking this off?” he asks. He holds the hem of my undergarments and I squeal. “Don’t tell me you are hesitating now?”
“No!” I say. My eyes go to him and see that he is already erect and… “That size is not normal,” I comment. Definitely way bigger than Mark’s.
“Ah, this? This is the average size. It looks bigger, but it’s not.”
“Is that already erect?” I ask again.
He chuckles. “Why don’t you find out?”
He takes my hand and lets me touch it. I almost pull back, but he squeezes my hand, and I had no choice but to explore it. It’s hot, throbbing, and getting more and more larger. Worse, I start to become nervous about its increasing size.
“That really doesn’t look normal,” I comment as I continue to massage his length.
“You don’t… ah! want… to take… ugh! revenge on my wife? Oh, damn! Stop rubbing already!”
I scowl at him. “I want to continue, but do you?” I ask. He’s shivering and sweating already. He’s flushing too. “Are you okay? Is this too much?”
Suddenly, he rams himself into me. He cups my face and gives me a deep kiss—the one that makes me reeling, the one that makes me shiver in desire. Soon, his kisses transfer from my mouth, to my neck, chest and even my stomach!
I am being overwhelmed and so I reach for his head and make him look at me. “Stop, Mr. Ellis,” my voice is very faint. It sounds as if I am begging him to continue, rather than wanting him to stop. “Before I go crazy, can’t you fuck me already? Let’s stop with the kisses now.”
I glance at the clock. He’s been kissing my body for half an hour. “You are being impatient, teacher.”
“Stop calling me tea—ah!” I exclaim and cover my mouth. I realize that his fingers are already on my heat. Yet, instead of moving away, I open my legs further for him.
“You little minx,” he says. “Stop seducing me when you are not ready yet!”
“I am telling you to enter me already!”
“Do you plan to punish yourself because your boyfriend cheated on you?”
“I don’t know! Ah!” He suddenly finds my clit and starts to play with it. My shivers of desire become more powerful. My legs shoot up and my back is leaving the bedsheets. I can feel the desire pooling in my gut, too. How much more should I be subjected to this dizzying sensation until he deems I am ready for the actual penetration?!
He never stops and continues his ministrations inside me. He circles my nub, lightly presses against it, and even taps gently on it, until I lose it all. A powerful orgasm wracks my being and I tightly clasp my hands against my mouth to stifle the sound.
“Just enter me…” I whisper. “I can handle it.”
Trembling from my orgasm, he trails his fingers along my stomach. And every part he touches becomes scorched. My body also starts to react to him. I raise my body to him so he can touch me more.
As if teasing me, he withdraws his hand. Instead, he wedges himself between me. He places my arms on either side of my head. And then he prods at my entrance and slowly opens me up. I moan.
“Oh god, why are you so tight?” he asks.
“You… are just… too big,” I whisper.
My voice is unstable. I should not speak anymore or I will further demean myself in front of him. I am already trembling in the sense of another man’s hands clutching at me. And so I close my eyes tightly and envision that I am with Mark instead. He is smaller than him, but…
Suddenly, as he pushes on, I feel pain in my nether regions. I open my eyes and exclaim at the sudden pain. He pauses.
“You are untouched?!”
I wince. “Yes, I am a virgin. Was a virgin… I…” He is about to move away from me when I wrap my legs around his waist. “Don’t you dare, Mr. Ellis! Don’t you dare leave me here alone!” I warn him. “Continue what you are doing and I will handle the pain!”
After further deliberation, he holds my waist and starts to move. Another series of excruciating pain overwhelms me. However, as he continues his pounding, I am also feeling less and less pain. It’s as if my body is getting used to pain that it decided to feel pleasure instead.
He continues thrusting into me, and I feel a sense of victory. Hilda’s handsome husband is fucking me! Like how she is fucking Mark! Better still, Mr. Ellis is heaving in pleasure! When he meets my eyes, he moves up and kisses my mouth. It is a heavy kiss, the type I’ve never been kissed before.
He is still pounding inside when his mouth finds my chest. He plays with it, licks it, and sucks it until I feel my body make another shiver of pleasure.
“You are close again,” he murmurs.
He puts me in place as he continues to thrust inside. However, I am not reaching my peak. It’s close, but somehow, it’s not coming anymore.
Suddenly, Mr. Ellis turns my body. He forces me on all fours. His grip on my waist becomes tighter and then, without warning, he rubs my slit at the same time that his thrusts become more rabid. And it’s the trigger that I’ve been waiting for.
In just a minute, my moans become increasingly louder. With no shame, I press my face against the pillow and jut my hips towards him. I start to meet his rhythm and he curses at our position. His movements become faster and rougher. And then, a blinding release gets over me. I scream and I muffle my scandalous sound against the pillow.
I am still trembling in my pleasure when he suddenly pulls out and releases on the bedsheets. Panting hard, I sit up and wince. Still, I look at his length, curious at the way I make him feel. Is it as pronounced as mine is?
He grins when he sees where my eyes are focusing. He reaches for my face and gently caresses it. “I doubt you are on pills, so it’s better to be safe. You don’t want to get pregnant with my child, right?”
I nod. Of course not. Why would I want that?
“That feeling…” I breathe. “Does it always happen between strangers?”
He laughs. “Of course not.”
“Then it must have been our motivations behind it?”
“Probably. Or maybe we just fit each other really well,” he answers. “Sexually, that is.”
When he takes his hands off me, he lies on the bed beside me. He is breathing hard, the same as me.
“Mr. Ellis, will you tell your wife?” I ask. “About what happened between us?”
He turns his head at me, and a grin appears on his face. His teeth are perfect as well. He really is a looker. Someone I am not used to seeing here in the province.
“If you want me to. Although, I doubt she will care enough. She will just tell me congratulations.”
I cock my head at him. “Are Hilda and Mark already in a relationship for a long time?” I ask. “We’ve been together for six months. So, does that mean he is already cheating on me since then?”
“Mark… So that’s the name of your cheater boyfriend?”
“Ex-boyfriend,” I correct him again.
He stands up from the bed and starts to gather his clothes around us—both on the floor and bed.
“So?” I urge him. “Are you going to tell her?”
I glance at his clothes. The brands seem expensive. Even his leather shoes… wait… leather shoes too? That’s a luxury brand! Does Mr. Ellis like to splurge on clothes? I shake my head and ask instead, “Are you already leaving after one round?”
He laughs at me. “If you want more rounds, call me later. Tomorrow will work too. I really need to return to the police station. I hope my son won’t hate me for this.”
“Son?”
They had a son? I know a lot about my co-teachers’ lives, but I heard nothing about that bitch Hilda having a kid already.
Mr. Ellis places a calling card on the bedside table and says, “Maybe you’d find the need to have sex with me again if ever your boyfriend doesn’t behave after this punishment.”
“He’s not my boyfriend anymore!”
He laughs again. Somehow, there is a certain quality in his laugh that sounds enjoyable. “Most men in love with their women will do their best to take her back.”
“I am not that kind of woman. I don’t give second chances for major transgressions.”
He just shrugs his shoulders and starts to wear his clothes. “Too bad for your ex-boyfriend, then.”
“Will you tell me what your wife’s reaction is? Once she learned what happened between us, Mr. Ellis?”
“Of course, if we meet again.”
Wearing his last piece of clothing, he takes another good look at my naked body. He moves towards me and places a kiss on my temple.
“How about waiting for me here, teacher? I will just ensure my son is safe at home. And then, I will return here.”
“You can just tell your wife to pick him up. Then, you can stay,” I suggest. “We can have more rounds.”
His face brightens up. “My ex-wife can’t do that,” he answers. “So, call me again, teacher. I really think that we will enjoy these moments together. However…”
He retreats from me, and I look up at his face. “Ex-wife?”
“You should know that I am not Mr. Ellis,” he says.
My mouth hangs open, and he turns his back on me. I blink as I watch him close the hotel door. Trembling, I reach for the calling card on top of the bedside table. I read it.
“Liam Chapman,” I whisper. “Director of Champion Music.”
I look back at the closed door, and all I can mutter is, “Oh, damn f*uck.”
It has become common knowledge that the charming Mr. Mark and me are no longer together. However, there are no rumors of the reason. No reputation damage on Hilda as well. All I know is that Mark is reaching out to me to fix our relationship. I said that we were off the instant I caught him cheating. All he said was that Hilda was already his secret lover even before I came into his life. It’s supposed to be their last sex, their last goodbye, because… according to him, he plans to live his life with me. The idiot! Who would f*ucking believe him?! I snort. I may, or may not, destroy Hilda, or my ex-boyfriend. I am still thinking about it, especially after that recent misstep at the police station and the hotel afterward. Who, in their right mind, would think that a man wearing really expensive casual clothes is a police officer? He also smells of fancy perfumes! Something that a provincial salary will not be able to cover! I groan. That’s exactly because I am not in the right mind!
I massage my temple and Alinn, the sweet teenage girl, asks, “Are you okay, Miss Cassie? Should we take a break? Maybe you can just leave me references that I can study. There’s no need for you to sit with me.” I smile at her. “Well, I’m sure you’ve heard about me and Teacher Mark, but you should focus on the review and stop worrying about your heartbroken teacher.” She makes a small smile. She has misaligned teeth, but her eyes are bright and huge. Her face is circular and small. She is an adorable young woman, not to mention a very smart girl. I sigh as I remember that misstep at the police station. It’s been a month since then. I didn’t dare to call that Liam Chapman again. My plan failed to make that bitch-Hilda feel what she’s done to me—if only her husband is half as good-looking as Liam, then maybe– I shake my head in annoyance. My plan failed completely, and a total stranger has fucked me. F*ucked, even I definitely enjoyed it. I have already burned the calling card, but I
Monday morning starts normally except for a new student who enrolls in the school. It’s not as chaotic as I expected, though. In fact, the little boy is able to immerse himself in the crowd. I think one reason for his quick adjustability is that he is already wearing the school uniform. Some female students can’t help but point at him, though. It’s also understandable. The little boy is a looker. Straight black hair, fair skin, tall and cute. He is also carrying himself well, as if he knows people would like to befriend him. It won’t be long until they label him as the Campus Crush. The boy’s name is Lukas Reeves, a transferee from the city, and the cause of the excitement of the female students. In fact, when I was having my lunch with my co-teachers and I told them that I would like to take a break from all the blind dates they were setting me up for, they agreed without a fuss. Then their conversation shifted to the new transferee. It was only until Friday afternoon that I discove
“Be thankful that the father did not sanction you,” the principal says. “I apologize, Principal Abra. I won’t do it again,” I respond. Next time, I won’t lose control of my emotions. I need a better hold on it. I lay my head low so this would get sorted out soon. “Will I be able to apologize to the parents?” I ask. “There is no need. However, the other teachers and students want you to apologize to the son.” I raise my head at him. “I know,” he says before I can even speak. “I will apologize to the parents, but I don’t think I should apologize to the son. It will appear as if what he did is NOT wrong. It won’t be good for him. Besides, that kid already has an attitude. We can’t contribute to that. Instead, we need to—” The principal raises his arms to stop me. “I understand, Teacher Cassie. Back in my day, his actions are already ground for expulsion. That show of utmost disrespect to a teacher should not be something a teacher should apologize for. However, sometimes, we just ne
I enter the classroom and tell the students that we are going to study something special today. It will be a special class about science in literature. But my students are all too busy chatting with their friends. I try to take their attention but they refuse to acknowledge my presence. This is the first time this happened. “Hmmm,” I mutter as I observe the students. This is definitely orchestrated. Then my eyes catch Lukas. There is an amused expression on his face. I smirk. So this is his revenge, huh? This little monster student of mine. I slam the table, and my students have no choice but to transfer their attention to me. “Do you have anything you’d like to say to me?” I ask them. A look of fake shock appears on their faces. Then there is silence in the room. The students who had been talking before looked away from me. Some of them are looking down. They are probably ashamed to be caught up in this... What shall I call this? Lukas’ stupidity? “Anyone who’d like to speak up?
We arrive at Lukas’ house. It’s brand new. It has two levels and an attic. Some part of the walls are made of thick glass. The house is made of a strange metal that looks almost like mercury. “Have you cleaned lately?” I ask. “Of course not! Why would I clean?” “Ahm, because this is your house,” I say. Lukas pushes open the door. It’s metallic and is not making any sound. It’s different from the house I rented where the door handle is old and worn. “Maids come in every Friday and clean up before my father arrives for the weekend,” he informs. “You mean I won’t be able to talk to your father today?” “Why would you even want to talk to him?” “Because of your most recent offenses,” I say. “I also need to discuss with him about your education.” “Then you will need to ask for a schedule to meet with him. He’s a busy man,” he says. “Your family is in business, right?” “Why do you care?” he asks. He places his arms across his chest and stares me down. “Are you not going to leave,
Lukas is coming in from his other classes more consistently. He sits on the table beside the one that Alinn occupies. He is quieter, but from time to time, I catch him glancing at Alinn. He also learned the meaning of focus. And as a result, his quizzes are improving. As a teacher, I like these changes. “Teacher Cassie, my mother is outside. I will leave now,” Alinn informs. Lukas stands up at the same time that Alinn did. “I will come with—” “Don’t bother,” Alinn snaps. She is still furious at him for forcibly kissing her. Lukas watches her leave. His expression is a mixture of longing, confusion, and guilt. “I thought you said that nerds are uncool?” I ask, without taking my eyes off Alinn’s paper. “She’s not!” he complains. “You think she’s your adorable puppy, right?” “She is.” “Guess what? This sense of belongingness? That’s something she won’t like. First, you don’t own her. Second, you guys are too different. Not to mention that she currently hates you.” “You are the t
It’s the school’s midterm examination day. The students are all stressed out, including Lukas. He told me earlier that it was the first time he was nervous about exams. “I don’t know what to do,” Lukas shares. “This time, I really feel nervous about it.” “Nervous because you might be hated by Alinn forever?” I jest. We are in my classroom. Instead of the bathrooms, where students love to escape during their exams, he is lounging here, probably hoping to take a peek at Alinn. “Shouldn’t you return to the examination room?” I add. “You are right. I should.” Lukas stands up. However, the instant he does, the door bursts open, and Jason appears with a wide grin. “Guess what, Teacher Cassie?!” I look up at him. “What is it, Jason?” “Five of us in the school paper will go to the regionals!” “Oh,” I exclaim. Lukas leans towards me and asks, “What does that mean?” “That means they will write a feature about me in the school paper, and I will also treat them to nice food.” “Ha!” he
********* A FEW YEARS LATER *********** I run my hand over my bulging stomach, savoring the warmth of the afternoon sun as it filters through the living room window. I am close now. The doctor says that any day this week I will give birth to a boy. Nearby, Lukas and Alinn teach Andy how to play a new board game, while Liam hovers close by and places snacks and drinks on the table. “Are you okay? Anything you need?” Liam asks. I grin at him. “I need my husband to sit beside me and hold my hand.” Liam’s face softens, and he nods, quickly making his way over to the couch beside me. As he sits down, he takes my hand in his, his fingers lacing through mine. I lean into him, my head resting on his shoulder. He wraps an arm around me, holding me close and kissing my forehead. This time, I am not afraid. Because now, I feel safe and loved, surrounded by the people who mean the most to me. We will move forward, because we know now, that we are unstoppable together. ********* ANOTHER FEW
I chop vegetables for dinner as I note the instructions Lukas jotted down for our dinner. Liam enters the room, wraps his arms around my waist, and playfully nuzzles my neck. “Guess who?” he whispers, his breath tickling my skin. “Could it be... my handsome husband?” I tease. I turn in his embrace, meeting his lips with a sweet kiss before returning to my task. “Any updates on our lovebirds?” Liam asks, referring to Lukas and Alinn. “Actually, they went on a date yesterday evening,” I respond. “I think things are getting more serious between them.” “Good for them,” Liam says sincerely. He leans against the counter, watching me. “Remember how nervous we were when we first started dating?” “Of course,” I laugh. “We are so nervous that we shared a kiss during that same day and even made love when the evening came.” He laughs. “But look at us now. I want to ravish you every time I lay my eyes on you.” I caress his cheeks. “And we’ll do that once we are done with food and shower,” I
It’s already late in the afternoon when the four of us, Liam, Lukas, Andy and me, start the stroll through the bustling market in Morocco. All the vibrant colors, the tantalizing scents and cacophony of voices are overwhelming. Andy seems to enjoy everything, and she has become very curious. Once, she even asks what the two locals are doing. I explain to her that they are haggling over prices. And every time she sees some exotic wares, she will clap her hands in delight. Something that never fails to put a grin on Lukas’ face. “Mom! Stunning!” Andy exclaims as she points to a beautifully embroidered scarf. Liam chuckles. “It is. You can take what you like, Andy.” Andy squeals and pulls Lukas with her into the shop. On the other hand, Liam takes one scarf and drapes the fabric around my neck. He gazes at my face and whispers, “It really is stunning.” I blush, especially when last night was very hot—too passionate, in fact, that I wasn’t able to get up until it was close to lunch.
The lush garden surrounds an elegant white gazebo. There are cascading floral arrangements that are draped gracefully over the lattices. Not to mention the sweet scent in the warm air. And beneath the canopy of flowers, I stand with Liam. We are gazing into each other’s eyes as our family and friends gather around us. Everyone is dressed at their finest, chattering excitedly amongst themselves while sipping champagne and nibbling on mouth-watering hors d’oeuvres. My mother is wiping away a tear as she looks at us. My father is beaming proudly at her side. With all our relatives around us, this is a far cry from when we had our first wedding. “Ready?” Liam asks beside me, his voice full of tender reassurance. I nod, my eyes shining with happiness and love. “Friends and family,” the officiant begins. “We are gathered here today to celebrate the love and commitment of Liam and Cassie. Today, they choose to renew their vows, solidifying their bond and reaffirming their devotion to on
Suddenly, a waiter approaches us and clears his throat. Liam and I look at him. There is an awkward smile on his face. “Apologies for disturbing you, ma’am, sir, but your food is ready. Should I... ahm, send it here? Or should I pack it up or something?” he asks. Given the time to breathe, I reach for my wineglass and take a slow, deliberate sip. As the rich liquid warms my throat, I resolve to face my emotions head-on. “We are going to continue our date night here,” Liam answers while staring hard at me. The waiter gestures for the others to come closer. They set down plates and bowls in front of the table while Liam fixes himself and sits across me. When the waiters leave, Liam reaches for my hand again. “You see, Cassie. You might have forgotten, but this is the anniversary of when we met at that police station. The first time you kissed me.” “Oh.” “You also think that you were not pretty enough back then. That you are undeserving of love.” I purse my lips again. I glance at
I arrive at the elegant restaurant alone, my heart heavy with the weight of agreeing to Scarlet’s request. Even the soft glow of the candlelight that dances against the polished silverware and crystal glasses on the tables do not improve my mood. The atmosphere is intimate, and it could have been a perfect night with Liam. I take a deep breath, inhaling the rich aroma of seared scallops and garlic butter that fill the air. “Reservation for two under Mr. Chapman?” I ask the hostess who has come to assist me. “Of course,” the hostess replies, leading me to a secluded table by the window. “Your server will be with you shortly.” “Thank you,” I murmur, taking my seat while noting the crisp, white linen napkin and the glasses on the table. I glance around the room. Couples are sharing tender smiles and stealing kisses from each other. The sight only deepens the ache in my chest, reminding me of my earlier decision. “Good evening, ma’am,” a friendly server greets me as he approaches the
I stand in front of a full-length mirror, my reflection framed by the delicate curve of the gilded edges. I watch the way the smooth silk of my midnight blue dress clings to my body, accentuating my curves and cascading until my knees. Then I adjust the thin straps over my shoulders. The anticipation of my romantic date with Liam is making my heart race. There is a knock on the door and I say, “Come in,” my voice sounding happier. The soft click of heels makes my hand pause on the fabric of my dress. I turn my attention to the guest and see Scarlet looking me up and down. I purse my lips at her beauty. She is definitely a sight in yet another red dress–a contrast to her creamy skin. Scarlet’s eyes take in every inch of me, appraising me like a predator sizing up its prey. “Hmmm,” she mutters. “You are starting to look the part of being Liam Chapman’s wife.” “I am his wife,” I tell her. I am just not sure until when. “It’s a pity, really,” she says, her voice dripping with sacchar
Last night, I was dreaming about Lukas and Liam’s laughter again and I woke up with a mix of love and fear. I sigh. This is just fine. I know that my decision to distance myself is for the best. “Momma, Lukas?” Andy asks, still stuttering. “Tomorrow, dear, okay? Your brother will come here to play with you.” She nods and takes hold of a doll. Lukas has gone to the beach with Scarlet. As for Liam, he decided to finish his work in the office. “For today, it’s just you and me...” I whisper. “And probably, in the future too.” I settle in the chair and my gaze lingers on the family photos adorning the walls. Most of it are pictures of Lukas and Andy, but there is also Alinn, Liam, and me. I really do miss doing activities with them. When my eyes fill with tears, I blink them away. I chose this. I should not be sad about this. I have to be stronger than this. More unfeeling than this. I can walk away, just like how I escaped from all the men and drama around me before. They said it bef
“Are you okay, love?” Liam asks. He is on top of me, still panting from the pleasure we just shared. I smile at him, attempting to hide the turmoil raging within me–anxiety that I only feel every time we stop drowning in our pleasure. “I am fine,” I lie. Liam’s piercing eyes search mine, but instead of pressing further, he brushes a stray strand of my hair behind my ear. “I am not such a skilled conversationalist, but please know that I will listen to you, any time you want to talk about something.” I beam at him and I hook my arms around his neck. “I always see you as a great communicator, though.” “Maybe I communicate my love for you in bed? Where you will feel it the most?” he asks, playful now. “I think we should wear our clothes and pause from communicating in bed. I need to check up on Andy.” He presses a kiss on my neck. “Lukas and the nanny are here. Stay a little more in my arms.” I giggle, but then I push him away from me. Sitting up and retrieving my clothes, my min
