‘Kai,’ I said as I took it off him and shoved it in my dressing table drawer.
‘Have you heard from him since that text?’
‘Which one?’
‘The one I saw when you met Julie. Why has he sent more?’
‘Yes, he’s sent a few messages. I don’t think he’s ready to let go.’
‘Are you?’ he asked as he looked at me concerned.
‘O my god, how can you ask me that? Is this because I have some stupid old photo up on my board?’
‘You have history together.’
‘As do you and other women Gabe. I’m not questioning you as to whether you’re over them. We end relationships for a reason. I didn’t want to continue seeing him and I ended it, there’s really no story there.’
‘He’s going to keep trying to get you back,’ he said as he put his beer on the table and pulled me into his arms.
‘What makes you think that?’
‘Because I would if I was stupid enough to have let you get away.’
‘Well he can keep trying, I’ve moved on, as should you from this unattractive jealous streak of yours. Lexi’s waiting for us in the lounge. Should I start having a freak out that she may an uncontrollable urge to steal you away from me and jump your bones as she can’t resist your bare torso?’ I asked sarcastically and frowned when I saw him smiling at me. ‘Why are you smiling, I’m mad.’
‘I can tell, but you said “steal you away from me.”’
‘So?’
‘I like that you think of me as yours to be stolen, I’m already under your skin Mia Page.’
‘Smugness doesn’t become you Gabe Austin, now move that delectable arse of yours into the lounge before I get really, really mad,’ I said as I pecked his lips, pulled out of his embrace and turned to leave the room.
‘You’re so adorable,’ he said as he smacked my bottom and hustled me out.
Lexi was in her usual position, stretched out across most of the sofa, thank god she wasn’t wearing her panda onesie.
‘Sweatshirt didn’t fit huh?’ she said as she glanced up at us.
‘No, but I’ve just about squeezed into the joggers thanks. Hope they’re not your favourite pair? I don’t think they’ll shrink back and I’ve had to go commando.’
‘Thanks for sharing that,’ she grimaced, screwing up her face. ‘I definitely don’t want them back now. Are you two on the beer?’
‘Would you like me to fetch you one?’ Gabe asked. Lexi nodded and put her thumbs up and he headed out to the kitchen.
‘OMFG’ she mouthed at me.
‘What?’
‘He wasn’t joking when he said he’d squeezed into them. You lucky bugger his body’s insane,’ she whispered.
‘I am lucky aren’t I? Keep your eyes in his facial area please,’ I grinned.
‘He’s too blonde, pretty and smiley for me anyway Mia, you know I like dark haired moody guys.’
Gabe returned and handed Lexi her beer. ‘Sorry if I’m cramping your style, I need to wait for my clothes.’
‘No cramping, I was just playing call of duty on the xbox.’
‘Black ops?’
‘Yeah, you play?’
‘Do I play? Hell yeah.’ He looked over at me and bit his lip.
‘What? You don’t need my approval Gabe, I’ve got to keep on top of the washing and I need to call home, go for it.’
I sat and watched them until I heard the washing machine finish and left them to it, shoot them up kind of games were not my scene, but Lexi loved them. I was more into seek and find games and could spend hours on my mobile in the recliner while Lexi would be yelling at the TV screen playing her violent ones. I put the jeans in the dryer and stuck the whites in the washer.
I reopened the fridge and examined our new contents. Turkey mince, beef strips, Parma ham, fresh pasta, vegetables and dairy products. He’d even purchased granola and organic muesli which had been stacked in the cupboard, along with basmati rice and a variety of herbs and spices. Balanced in the middle of the dining table was a large melon, some apples and bananas. Christ, how much did he think we ate? Who was going to bloody cook all of this? It must’ve cost him way more than lunch, I’d have to give him some more money.
I rummaged in our existing snack drawer and pulled out a couple of chocolate digestives and took them with my beer back to my room. As I passed the lounge door, I heard them shouting at the screen together and smiled. He was really going to earn big points with Lexi for this. It was already five o’clock, well after the time I’d promised to call home each Sunday. My family liked routine and mum in particular panicked if I didn’t stick to it. I realised I hadn’t even looked at my mobile all day and when I checked it there were three missed calls from her. Bugger I was going to get an earful I thought as I pressed the call button and lay back on my bed.
Thirty minutes later after profusely apologising and assuring her I hadn’t been mugged, got addicted to drugs or got kicked out already, she finally calmed down and caught me up on the happenings at home. I filled her in on my Uni lectures, the neighbourhood, but left out the part about Gabe. It was way too soon.
‘Have you spoken to Kai?’ she finally asked.
‘Mum, will you let it drop it’s over.’
‘He adored you and you treated him so badly. He hurting, he really misses you.’
‘You’ve seen him?’
‘He rang me to ask if I’d heard from you and we had a long chat. He could be good for you Mia, you don’t want to end up alone.’
‘I’m 18, it’s hardly as if the sands of time are working against me mother.’
‘I just want to see you happy. I know your father’s hurt you, but not all men are like him. Kai really loves you.’
‘But I don’t love him mum, you really need to let this drop.’
‘Sweetheart sorry I’ve got to go. Mr Biggles has just thrown up on the carpet. Take care, give my love to Lexi and hope to see you both soon.’
‘Bye mum.’
Mr bloody Biggles, I thought as I put the phone down. That bloody yappy little Yorkshire terrier was a nightmare. I was so glad to have gotten away from him. He knew I didn’t like him and used to follow me around the house nipping my ankles, shredding my clothes with his scarily sharp tiny teeth or pissing in the corner of my bedroom trying to show me who was boss. No sorry Mr Biggles, I didn’t miss you at all. It was a good job I’d moved out, as if it came to a choice between me and him I wasn’t entirely convinced mum would’ve chosen me, he was her pride and joy. I rubbed my ear which was red hot, over half an hour on the mobile wasn’t ideal.
I went back to the utility room and emptied out the white washing hanging it on the interior airer. Our jeans needed longer in the dryer, so I hung his white shirt over the radiator. I could still hear them cursing at the game, I figured they could be some time and wouldn’t miss me if I went to have a lie down. I wasn’t sure if it was the move, the excitement of the last week or all the orgasms, but I felt completely drained. I climbed on top of my duvet and hugged a pillow to me and closed my eyes.
The light was dimming as I woke. I was lying face down on the bed and Gabe was kneeling over me kissing the back of my neck.
‘Hmmm what a nice way to be woken up,’ I murmured. ‘Did she kick your arse?’
‘Yes and I feel totally humiliated and emasculated,’ he replied as his hand slid under the jersey of my shorts to caress my bare bottom.
‘Don’t feel bad, other than movies, sex, cigarettes and alcohol, it’s all she does. She puts a lot of time in.’
‘Well I’d like to put some time in with my non-girlfriend now, if that’s ok?’ His thumb had followed the crevasse of my butt and had made its way down to my clit which quickly responded.
‘Are you needing to prove your manliness?’ I giggled as I turned my head sideways to try and look at him.
‘I have to prove it now do I?’ he asked as his thumb moved quicker and quicker. I began to grind my hips down into the be
d until he slid it up inside me. He bit and sucked the back of my neck, before moving around to my mouth, kissing me aggressively as his free hand positioned each of my hands above my head, securing them in position. This was obviously his signature move. ‘Jesus you’re soaking wet already,’ he whispered in my ear.
‘You seem to have that effect on me,’ I groaned.
‘So do you want me to make love to you, or fuck you again? Your choice,’ he murmured as he lay a trail of kisses down my jaw line. I felt utterly under his control, he had me pinned down on all sides as his tongue and thumb invaded me in unison. I could sense a primal need in him, he really wanted to fuck me again without any pleasantries and the thought of it turned me on even more.
‘Fuck me, even harder than Friday,’ I ordered, excited at his urgency.
‘Tell me to stop anytime and I will. I mean it, anytime you say stop,’ he said as his thumb started to push roughly in and out. The thought of him just using me as a vessel to come in made me extra wet. No complications, no emotions, just straight up fucking.
‘I won’t. I want you to be forceful. I don’t want you to hold back,’ I panted.
I was on fire, my nipples dug into the duvet below me, my chest squashed by his weight over me, but it only added to my horniness. He removed his right hand from my shorts and shoved his thumb into my mouth and I sucked and greedily bit on it. He released my hands from his grip as he moved his left hand under the soaking jersey of my crotch and thrust three fingers into me at once. He growled and bit the back of my neck again as I began to climax, my shoulders arched up against him, pushing away from the bed. I cried out his name as I started to quake and he immediately pulled out his fingers and sat back on his heels and I could hear his heavy breathing.
‘Gabe please,’ I begged. ‘Don’t stop.’
I tried to gyrate my hips into the bed to rekindle the orgasm that he’d not quite let finish, but he placed a firm hand in the small of my back to hold me still as he ripped open another condom packet open with his teeth. He released me as he put it on and I tried to twist my head to look at him, but he was too far behind me. He positioned himself between my legs and pulled my shorts down under my butt cheeks and with no warning plunged straight into me from behind, pulling my hips up to meet him as he slammed into me. I inhaled sharply, it felt so much deeper than before and I was desperately trying not to scream out his name.
‘Stop?’ he questioned.
‘No, no don’t stop,’ I begged.
He slowly withdrew all the way and then slammed into me again. He held my hips off the bed and my bottom was raised up in the air so my face was pushed down into the pillow, I needed to support myself as each thrust was driving me further down. I pushed myself up onto my hands and threw my head back to take in deep breaths of air as he rammed my interior walls. I gasped again as a hand reached under my jumper grasped one of my breasts which was swinging beneath me and pummelled it and the other found my clit again. I was on sensation overload, my body started to convulse as wave after wave of orgasm hit me and I screamed again and again, but he didn’t stop he just keep on pounding, squeezing and stroking. He circled his hips as he fucked me, making sure he caressed my insides from every possible angle. Even when he was so focussed, he still had my enjoyment in mind. I’d no idea how amazing sex could feel, this was incredible.
His left hand moved to my stomach to hold me up as my arms started to tremble. I was on the edge of breaking, I wasn’t sure how much more I could take. I was soaked with perspiration and my own arousal dampened my thighs. I started to whimper as another orgasm threatened to envelop me. He released my breast and ran his hand down my spine and his thumb hovered over my butt. He was circled around it and I felt all my nerve endings crackling again. Other than him stroking me over my knickers in the club, I’d never experienced any anal play, but despite his relentless fucking of me and my nearing exhaustion point I was desperate to know, desperate to please him to keep him coming back to me for more. I groaned as his stroking made me tingle and clench and I pushed backwards towards his touch.
‘Do it’ I whispered.
He slid his thumb under his dick and rotated it around my clit until I could feel it was slick and I held my breath as he returned put it against my back package. He slowly pushed it further and further and at each push I gasped a little more. He got it in as far as he could while he continued to lay waste to me. I alternated between wanting to push it out and wanting to relax and bathe in the sensation. It was the most unusual feeling, but I really liked it, it felt so guttural and wanton and if he was enjoying it, enjoying me, then that made me happy.
The sensation of being filled in two holes from behind set me off again and I clenched all sets of my pelvic and anal muscles around him. It felt so amazing I screamed out loud again as his thrusts became faster and faster, his hand pulling my stomach in further as my orgasm overtook me and I hung over his arm like a limp rag doll as I heard him groaning my name as he twitched inside me. We both fell forwards into the bed gasping for air, he was still inside me, my muscles pulsating around him. We lay like that, with him stretched across my back, his face nestled into the nape of my neck for a few minutes as we regained our breath.
‘O shit,’ I finally uttered.
‘Are you ok?’ he asked as his lips sought out my own.
‘I’m going to need to work out more often to keep up with you, I’m completely knackered.’
‘You were amazing, you kept up just fine,’ he said as he rolled off me and lay on his side next to me so we were face to face.
‘I’m exhausted and also very conscious that I’m face down with my naked butt on display.’
‘I like your naked butt.’
‘I think we just established that.’
‘Was it too much? Some girls aren’t keen.’
‘Really? I’m not ashamed to say that I enjoyed it, though there’s no way your dick’s going anywhere near it yet, that was as much as I could handle for now.’
‘Yet? I like the fact that you’re open to trying anal sex, but you’re right that will take a bit of practice,’ he smiled as he reached out and brushed some hair away from my face.
‘Do you like it?’
‘Anal? It’s just different so it makes a nice change,’ he said with a shrug. ‘I like that you liked your first taster of it.’
‘Not giving, I meant receiving.’
‘I’m not attracted to guys Mia. I’ve never been with one and have no intention of doing so.’
‘I didn’t mean that. Has a girlfriend never done to you what you just did to me? It was very sensitive for me and I hear it’s even more sensitive for men?’
‘No, no one’s ever tried. You know you’re amazingly open minded for a recently deflowered virgin.’
‘You think I’m a total horny slut don’t you?’
‘No,’ he laughed. ‘I just love that you trust me enough to be so adventurous.’
‘I like new experiences, I like orgasms very much and I like you, so it’s a no brainer to follow your lead. I’m still worried that you’ll find me too inexperienced, you’ve been with other girls and I have to compete with them.’
‘Stop worrying. My ejaculations with you have been the most intense I’ve ever had, it’s like you were made to fit me perfectly. Trust me there’s no competition, I’m extremely satisfied with you, with us. I’m also more than happy to answer any questions you may have about sex, or show you any positions you’re wondering about. I can teach you everything you need to know Mia.’
‘Right now the only thing I’m thinking about is how hungry I am. What time is it?’
He checked his watch, ‘8.15.’
‘I need to clean up and then eat, do you want to hang around and have a take out?’
‘Take out? After all those bags I carried up the stairs? You must be joking. I’m going to make something while you shower as you’re very wet,’ he said as he kissed and tickled me, I giggled and wriggled out of his reach. ‘You
said you liked Bolognese didn’t you?’
‘Love it.’
‘Done,’ he moved so fast over to my side of the bed, I was too slow to avoid him pinning me down again and tickling me all over. I screamed and writhed below him which he found highly amusing.
‘Stop, stop please my sides are killing me,’ I begged. He lay down on top of me and kissed me gently for a minute or two before he sighed and got up. I adjusted my shorts as he washed himself in the bathroom. My thighs were aching, Lexi was right, I really needed to get back into my Pilates and stretch out my muscles to keep up with him.
‘Right I’m going to the kitchen, see you there in a while?’
‘Sure,’ I smiled as he winked and headed out.
I eased myself off the bed and stripped off. I soaked my shorts in the bath tub, there was no way they were going in our communal laundry bin in that state. I hopped into the shower for the third time that day and washed myself down. I dressed again into some black pyjama bottoms and a loose grey t-shirt and headed out of the bedroom. I could hear Gabe humming and the smell of herbs and garlic made my stomach rumble. The lounge door was shut so I knocked on it and slowly opened it. Lexi was sitting up on the sofa reading with her iPod headphones on. She looked up and grinned at me as I came and sat down next to her.
‘Were the earphones because of me?’
‘Yup,’ she grinned.
‘That bad?’
‘That good. Think the whole street heard you. Doggy?’
‘How did you know?’ I gasped.
‘Gets me howling every time. Where’s studly?’
‘Cooking us dinner.’
‘He cooks too? Is there anything he’s not good at?’
‘So far it seems not. Are you really ok with him?’
‘Does it matter?’
‘Of course it matters Lex. You’re important to me and I want to know that you’re ok with this. I don’t want to put our friendship at risk.’
‘You could never do that you stupid fuckwit. I just want to see you happy and right now you’re looking pretty damn happy, so I’m cool with that.’
‘Thanks.’
