KATE The dark mist dissipated and pleasure surged as I opened my eyes. Nathan was sucking on one of my breasts, and I could feel his hand stimulating my clitoris. God. I moved my legs, making him look at me with dark and hungry eyes. I stretched my arms above my head, searching for something to hold onto, feeling two fingers penetrate me. He continued to gaze at me with the same expression, giving me a bit of fear. I wanted to scream every time he hit that spot with his fingers, but I needed more. I didn't have to ask; he crawled down, burying his face between my legs, licking my entire length. Several spasms spread through my belly, and my legs began to tremble as he sucked forcefully. His fingers returned, along with his tongue. I couldn't think of anything else. I thought I was going to pass out. A divine sensation and an immense desire to kiss him overwhelmed me. I wanted to kiss his lips and suck him hard. His marvelous tongue was driving me craz

KATE"Is everything okay?" Michael asks."Of course. It's just my boss. He's demanding." And I wish I could be with him right now instead of being here."I know you're not a big fan of these places. If you prefer, we can leave and do something else, I don't know... Maybe take a dip in a pool." He smiles. I almost choke. Did he just say that? "It was just a joke, Kate," he laughs."What a joke." I take a long sip of the whiskey the bartender places on the counter."I found Lisa." He points towards a corner where Lisa is talking to Matt and a girl."She always does that.""Leave you behind? Maybe that's why she invited me.""To try and get me into trouble.""I'm starting to think that I really am the trouble you always talk about.""No!" Yes."I guess I still don't understand.""You're just an old friend.""As long as you want." God!"I thought it was a joke?""It was." That smile.

KATEI finish my shower and return to the room, where I find him sleeping. Damn, I don't have anything comfortable to wear, and I'm not sleepy. Nathan is lying on his stomach, naked. Mr. and Mrs. Ryan did a good job here. I need to remember to thank them someday. I bite my lip as I watch him. *What a wonderful ass, Mr. Ryan*. I try not to laugh out loud and look for his shirt.I'm starving. Can I order a pizza at this hour? Where is my cellphone? When I find it, I sit on the couch and try to find a pizza place open at two in the morning through an app.Here I am again. How did I end up here? So far away? Maybe not as lost this time. Ready to admit many things, like this feeling, and the fear. Fear that everything might be a lie, fear of clinging to something that can destroy me, the same old fear.But I decided to give him a vote of confidence, right? And I can't go back anymore. Nor do I want to. Sometimes I could confidently say that everything is real.

NATHANIt was nearly two in the afternoon, and still no sign of her. Calls and messages, but no response. What the hell could she be doing? Her phone indicated she was at home. So, I decided to go to her place. I knocked on the door, and her friend, the personification of sympathy, answered. Hypocrisy, Nathan?"Hey?" she said, wearing her usual stern expression. Why did she hate me? Kate must have told her something terrible about me."Can I talk to Kate?""She's not here.""Are you sure?" This woman wouldn't lie to me. Collins' phone could confirm she was there."If you want to check." She opened the door."Do you know where she is?""She told me she was going to handle a problem and forgot her phone. Maybe she'll get in touch soon.""Do you know where?""No." She was definitely lying."Thanks." An insufferable woman. Where the hell could she be?By evening, I was on the verge of going crazy. It had

NATHANAfter the diploma ceremony ended, everyone, including guests and university students, were invited to the location where a celebration would take place.While one of the ladies who coordinated the internship program chatted away beside me, I observed every move Kate made. She looked amazing, laughing with her friend just a few meters away. I couldn't stop looking at her. Her body seemed different without the graduation gown, more sculpted. The tight black dress with an open back accentuated her curves perfectly. She also appeared healthier, with her hair loose and shiny, her face slightly fuller, her skin flawless and glowing. And those lips... oh, those lips.After a few minutes of pretending to be a good listener, I managed to get rid of the lady. But as I decided to approach Kate, I was interrupted halfway."Ryan?" I turned around to face Kate's annoying friend."Yes?" I tried to maintain a neutral expression."Can I give you some ad
