Since I’d just lost my job, I had a lot of free time, and because Ben decided to take some time off before the wedding, we spent the time together. He should have been going to classes, but I figured since I was no longer his professor, and I would be too bored by myself, I wouldn’t nag him so much to go back to class.Two days later, and it was the day of the wedding. It was a small affair, and I’d somehow been roped into being a bridesmaid, even though it was last minute. Ben would be suffering with me, anyway, since he was sent to join Dad’s side. Both our parents put together didn’t know that many people, and we happened to be among the youngest of the group, so we got stuck together. I was just glad I’d be walking down that aisle with him by my side since I’d imagined I would only have to sit down in the audience and wait for the whole thing to be over.“Angela, are you done with your makeup yet? Would you like any help?”Hayley, Ben’s mom, made her way over to me. She looked st
The wedding ceremony didn’t take long. Mom and Winston quickly said their vows, exchanged rings, signed the necessary documents with Ben and my signatures as witnesses, then led the wedding party out to get some pictures, before we quickly moved on to the reception. While the morning was hurried, the rest of the party wasn’t, which was just fine with me, because this way, I could gape at Angela all I wanted.She’s so beautiful.The cut of her dress bared part of her shoulders, back, and chest, and I could already picture myself pulling it off her. Or, better yet, just sliding the shoulders lower so I could get at her breasts as I lifted the skirt around her hips. The dress looked too nice to ruin, but I couldn’t help thinking what it would look like covered in my come. I did my best to control my expressions, so no one would guess what was on my mind, but I wasn’t sure I was doing it very well.There weren’t a lot of people I knew at the party. I wasn’t close with any of my mom’s fr
It was late at night, almost morning. The party was starting to wind down because soon, it would be time for the newlyweds to leave. There were still a few guests around, but the majority had already gone back home.Dad and Hayley, and Ben and I were saying final goodbyes to the remaining guests, though Dad and Hayley did most of the work because Ben would keep tugging me, wanting more attention.There was cleaning to be done, but that would be left for the staff to do.“It’s finally over,” Ben muttered beside me.I smacked his arm, but he didn’t look apologetic at all.“I’m gonna get something to drink; all that talking made me thirsty. Do you want anything?”I smacked him again. “I did almost all the talking. And apple juice, if you can. Or any kind of juice.”Several times today, I’d had to remind myself I couldn’t have alcohol. I rarely drank in the first place, but it was a special occasion, and everyone kept wanting to make a toast, which involved champagne. There were even more
BenI woke up to an empty bed. The space beside me was still warm, though, and I dragged myself out of bed. I took a quick shower then got dressed before I left the bedroom.“Angela?” I called out.“I’m in here!” She called back.I followed her voice to the kitchen and stopped at the entrance to watch her. I smiled to myself, watching the love of my life trying to do everything by herself.“Here you go, baby,” she cooed.She had her computer on the table, food cooking on the stove, and the baby in his high chair as she tried to feed him, but little Michael wasn't cooperative. She glanced at her computer, then raised a spoon to Michael’s mouth, who squealed and turned his head away. He looked like he was playing.“Do you need any help?” I offered.I walked over and hugged her from behind. She started, then let out a laugh.“You say that, but you’re the one who’s late to wake up, you know? Dad and Hayley will be here soon, and I don’t have anything ready.”“You could have woken me. And
“Hey, did you hear about it?” Alicia, my BFF asked, both Caroline and I. “What?” I asked, wondering what was going on.“That rumor that’s going around…” Alicia started to say, but she paused to make sure that no one else was listening.Class was supposed to start twenty minutes ago, but the professor hadn’t shown up, and we were seated near the back of the room, which was virtually empty. There was a quiet buzz in the room as everyone else focused on their own conversations, a buzz that would drown out our whispers if anyone did happen to be close enough to hear us. Alicia still looked around before she leaned close and whispered to us, her long blond hair another screen.“There’s this new chat line going around IU. I didn’t believe it when I first heard about it, but it’s true! Can you believe it?” She broke into giggles, her blue eyes alight with delight.I’d only been at Iowa University a few weeks; I was happy when by chance, I became Caroline and Alicia’s friend overnight. They
I rolled over in bed after I put my phone down. It was the middle of the day, but I’d been up all night and hadn’t slept until the earliest hours of the morning. I didn’t have any classes today, and I planned to spend the rest of the day relaxing.“Ugh,” I groaned to myself, buried my face in my pillow and curled up.I was in my final year of school, and I didn’t have as many classes as I did in my first year, but I had a lot of projects to get done. Senior projects were the worst, because they were a lot more complicated and there was more pressue to .My phone buzzed again, I wanted to ignore it, but it could be something important.My hand stretched out to the nightstand without looking, and I patted around until I touched my phone and grabbed it. I squinted my eyes open, only to freeze when I saw it was Dad calling me.Suddenly very awake, I sat up and answered the call.“Dad,” I said, the single word so full of sarcasm that he could choke on it. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”“
I spent the entire day nervous about this moment, I hadn’t tried to cancel the date. If you could call it a date. My reservations about it went away the moment this gorgeous guy showed up at my doorstep.“Do you want a drink?” I offered and pulled away from the light touch on my cheek.I could feel the heat of my blush and the way my heart pounded in my chest and tried to breathe through it. I was nervous and awkward, because not only was this going to be my first time, but it was going to be with a guy that I didn’t know. I knew of him, but I didn’t actually know him.Luca was attractive, tall, with blond hair, blue eyes, built lean and dressed to impress. Also, he was a senior and pretty popular, so while we weren’t in the same social circle, I had glanced at him a few times around campus in the short weeks I’d been here.He was the last person I’d expected to show up on my doorstep. He could have any girl that he wanted, he didn’t need a line to have sex. Then it dawned on me, he d
I wrapped my arms around Natalia’s waist and pressed my lips to her neck. I’d undone the buttons of her dress, but I wasn’t in a hurry to have it completely off yet. As I nibbled on her skin, I caught her scent. She smelled like she’d had a shower not too long ago. Her hair felt a little damp.She was enthusiastic and on board with what I was doing, but it was hard to miss that she was still nervous, because I could still feel her trembling.Her arms were tight around my neck. Her breath was ragged and tickled my ear. I focused on those little things to try and control my own excitement.I wanted to rip off her clothes, toss her to the bed, and have my way with her. Patience.Patience is a virtue.This had to be a good experience for her, and not just because she’d paid me. She hadn’t been the first virgin, I’d ever been with, but the rest at least had some experience. They had been kissed, touched before but I had a feeling that not only had she never slept with anyone, she had nev
