Lying With Temptation

by Sm Donaldson

  I kiss him on the lips, “I don’t think I will be, but it doesn’t matter. It was worth it.”

  ~*~

  It’s Sunday afternoon and Russ comes busting in the door after being gone all weekend.

  “Whoa it smells like sex in here!”

  I punch him in the stomach, “Shut it Russ.”

  He groans, “Jeez Gabby I was just playing…I would think you’d be more relaxed.”

  “Russ…not funny.” Linc interrupts.

  Russ looks at me, “Sorry Gabby…I shouldn’t make jokes about yours and Linc’s sex life or lack there of. I’m just glad that you guys are more considerate of my ears than Cade and Daria.”

  I laugh, “Trust me…if Daria hadn’t been intoxicated that wouldn’t have happened like it did.”

  The door opens and in walks Daria and Cade. Daria looks up, “Hey guys, how was your weekend?”

  I nod and glance at Linc, “Good. Relaxing and you guys? The trip was good?”

  Cade nods, “Oh yeah, Mom loves Daria almost as much as she loves you Gab. Now I get to meet her folks at Thanksgiving…”

  I smile and hug Cade, “Hey they are going to love you brother.”

  He rubs his head back and forth, “Shit I hope so.”

  Daria laughs, “Hey Gab come help me sort this stuff out so I can do my wash.”

  I follow her into our room and she shuts the door, “Okay so you slept with Linc.”

  My mouth flies open and I can’t hide it, “How in the hell did you know?”

  “Oh girl you have this I’ve been freshly fucked all weekend look. So I’m guessing you guys got out all of that frustration from the past few months.”

  I laugh, “Yeah, I guess you could say we did.”

  “Soooo…Don’t’ hold out on me Gab…I would share my sex life with you, but Cade strictly forbids it.”

  “Trust me, I strictly forbid you sharing your sex life with me.”

  “Okay Come ON Gab, tell me.”

  “It was…awesome…I was worried I would never enjoy sex after my few attempts…but I’ve definitely figured out it’s all about the right partner.”

  She laughs, “Yeah, I know what you mean, now lets go back out there before they figure out we’re talking about them and they all get a case of the big head…no pun intended.”

  One Week Later…

  I’m sitting here on the couch studying…I have the T.V. on for noise…ugh this class of Jennings is going to drive me insane. I only have a few more weeks. The front door opens, “Hey Babe.” Linc falls on the couch beside me. He’s all sweaty from his workout.

  I put my book down and kiss him, “Hey yourself sexy.” I’m now straddling him.

  “Hmm, so I’m sexy now huh.”

  I nod, “Oh yeah all sweaty and everything…and if I didn’t have to go to work in like twenty minutes I would show you just how sexy I think you are.” I don’t believe how comfortable I’ve gotten sexually with Linc over the past week or so. For me not to have been big on sex before, jeez we can’t keep our hands to ourselves. We almost got caught in the laundry room of our building the other day. It’s like I’ve found my own sexual revolution.

  He kisses my neck, “Well how about this, you go to work and take something to change into and I’ll take you to dinner after work. I’ll pick you up from work.”

  I groan and push up off of him, “I guess that will have to work.” I smile and go into my room and pick out a cute sundress and peep toe wedges to wear with it. As I walk back in the living room he pokes his head out of the bathroom, “Hey I’ve been meaning to ask you, what are your plans for Christmas Break?”

  “I…don’t know…really…why?”

  “I was thinking, maybe you could…if you wanted to…go home with me…meet my parents and my sisters.”

  I nod, “Yeah that sounds good…let me just clue my parents and my sister in okay.”

  He kisses me before he goes in to shower, “Okay, see you in a little while.”

  ~*~

  Work feels like it has been dragging on forever but, it’s finally time to go. I text Linc.

  Me: Hey about to go shower and get ready

  Linc: K c u soon.

  Me: xoxo

  After I’ve gotten ready, I check myself out in the mirror. I really look happy, for the first time in a long time.

  I grab my bag and head out to my car to stow it while I’m on my date. As I round the corner to my car I crash into someone’s chest. I don’t look up automatically, “Oh I’m sorry.”

  Then I look up, it’s Jennings.

  “Oh there isn’t anything to be sorry about.” He has a hold of my arm.

  I try to pull my arm loose, “I…Need to go…let go of me.”

  He pushes me against the wall, “No, it seems you don’t understand how my class works…I want you…I’ve had you…I’ll have you again…that’s the way this works...understand now?”

  I push at him, but he has almost a foot on me, “No I don’t want you and that was a stupid mistake. Let go of me…NOW.”

  He’s using his body now to hold me in place and runs one of his hands down my thigh, and back up the side of my dress touching my ass. “See I don’t think so.” Then he tries to kiss me, but I snatch my head away and spit in his face. Then he backhands me, that hurt. I can taste blood. He’s fighting my legs trying to spread them. I’m fighting with my legs; he has my arms pinned down. Finally I scream, “HELP! SOMEONE H…” He covers my mouth and I bite him. He punches me in the mouth and that stuns me I see stars for a second and then he’s off of me…

  I look on in horror….

  Chapter 29

  Linc

  I’m walking around the side of the gym where Gabby parks her car when I hear a female scream for help. I run around the building and find that asshole; Jennings has her pinned up against the wall trying to fuck her right there. Before I know what comes over me, I’m on top of him on the ground, beating him. I can hear Gabby screaming somewhere behind me, but it’s like I’m tunneling out, like I do the fans at games.

  Someone is trying to lift me off of him, I look back to see Zack and a couple of other guys that work at the gym. Zack pats my shoulder, “Come on man…he’s had enough and the cops are almost here. Go check on your girl. My boys have him…he’s not going anywhere.”

  I rush over where Gabby is sitting on the ground; a lady from the gym is holding her. I reach down and pick her up in my arms. About that time the police show up and start asking for statements and trying to get all of us medical attention. I look down at my clothes for the first time and realize I have blood all over me, I think most of it is his. I look at Gabby’s face; she took a few good licks before I got here. I brush her hair back from her face, “Baby, I’m gonna call Cade.”

  She starts shaking her head, “No.”

  “Yes, I’m going to have to go to the station to make my statement while you are at the hospital and I don’t want you going by yourself.”

  She nods and starts crying, “Okay.”

  I grab my phone and dial Cade, “Hello.” “Hey Cade, I need you to come over to the place Gabby works right away.” “What the Hell’s going on?” “She was attacked, she’s okay but she has to go to the hospital to get checked out and I have to go to make a statement at the station because I beat the ever living shit out of the guy.” “I’m on my way now.”

  “Hey Baby, Cade’s on his way he’ll be here in a minute.” Cade, Daria and Russ pull up within five minutes.

  They all come barreling over, Cade looks at me, “What in the Hell happened to her? Who did this? I’m going to kill them?”

  “I beat the shit out of the guy, before he could do any real damage, her face is hurt…but he didn’t do anything else. Most of this blood on me is his…Do you have a shirt in your car I can use?”

  Cade nods, “Yeah, Daria will you grab it from the backseat?”

  Russ looks at me, with a stoic face, “He did this didn’t he?”
/>   I nod, “Yeah, she was walking out to her car to meet me.”

  Cade looks at us, “Who are you guys talking about …who did this to her?’

  I look up, “Professor Jennings.”

  Cade’s face grows bright red with anger, “WHAT THE HELL? Why would he attack a student? That is just sick.”

  I look over at Gabby sitting at the back of the ambulance and I look to Cade, “He wanted her and he’s used to getting what he wants, I guess.”

  ~*~

  It’s been a week since Gabby’s attack, her face is starting to heal, but I can tell it still weighs on her mind. I reach over and brush her hair back from her face, “Hey baby, are you going to work today?”

  She shakes her head, “No, it’s too embarrassing.”

  “It shouldn’t be embarrassing you were attacked.”

  “I know how this works; people will think it was my fault.”

  “Hey, this isn’t your fault.”

  “Isn’t it though? I mean I had sex with the man.”

  “Yeah, but you told him to leave you alone. He stalked you, harassed you and then tried to hurt you…THIS ISN’T YOUR FAULT.”

  Her phone starts ringing; she answers it, “Hello. Yes it is…okay…no sir…okay…I understand…no sir…Thank you for calling.”

  I look at her, “What was that? Are you okay?”

  She looks at me and smiles as if a hundred pounds has been lifted from her chest. “That was the investigator over the case. Jennings pled no contest to the charges. He’s been fired from the school and as it turns out from what the investigator was telling me after my attack several girls came forward.”

  “Really, Had he done this before?”

  “No, not exactly. He’d never attacked anyone before, but let’s just say they were less than willing participants in their relationships. He made them feel trapped, like he tried to do to me, but they didn’t have the friends I have.”

  “I’m just glad you won’t have to go through a trial or anything now. I know that worried you.”

  She sighs, “Me too, once of having your sex life blasted through an entire town is enough…I’m pretty sure I’d be the only person that managed to do it twice. You know, I’m gonna go for a run. You wanna go with me?”

  I smile, “Sure thing, where do you wanna run to?”

  “Anywhere with you.”

  With that we change and go for our run…God she’s beautiful, watching her ass in those shorts again makes me wanna take her right here…right now.

  She laughs and calls back to me, “Hey slow poke are you gonna follow me all day staring at my ass or are you gonna keep up?”

  I breeze by her and slap her ass, “Challenge accepted. Race you to the weight room.”

  She laughs, “You’re on.” She giggles as she gets beside me, “Hey Linc, can you do me a favor?”

  “What babe?”

  “Do my boobs bounce too much in this top?”

  I glance over and groan in frustration, she’s killing me on purpose.

  She looks over at me, “So… do they?”

  We reach the weight room and I grab her by the hand and snatch her into the bathroom and lock the door.

  She laughs and brushes against my crotch, “Hmm, seems like someone liked watching my ass and boobs too much to concentrate.”

  I pick her up and sit her on the edge of the counter, “Oh I was concentrating all right.” I pull her top off and begin to tease and play with her nipples, then I pull her shorts down, she’s already wet. I slam into her and we have hot earth shattering sex right there. Before I would have worried about being so rough and quick with her…but she seems to enjoy it every now and then.

  I lean into her as she lies against me, both of us panting. She looks up at me and kisses me, “Thank you…how did you know I needed that today? I didn’t want slow soft emotional love; I wanted mirror breaking, screw you until you can’t walk tomorrow, falling off the edge of the world SEX.”

  I laugh, “You my sweetness are crazy, but I love you anyway.” Holy shit that slipped out…She’s going to freak out any minute…

  Instead she looks up at me and laughs, “Well, I love you too.”

  Chapter30

  Winter Break

  ~Linc~

  “Gabby come on aren’t you ready to go yet?”

  “Just a minute, I’m grabbing one more pair of shoes.”

  “Baby, you have like twelve pair in there now. I promise, we won’t need that many pair.”

  Russ laughs, “Who thought a simple trip home would throw Miss Control into a tail spin?”

  “Shut up asshat I heard that.” Gabby breezes into the room and punches him in the arm. “Okay I’m ready.”

  I kiss her, “Okay let’s go.”

  ~*~

  After a couple of hours on the road, I drop Russ off at his parent’s house and drive across town to my parents. Gabby and I walk in the front door and are greeted by my sisters.

  “Rand, Vivy, this is Gabby.”

  Gabby shakes both of their hands, “Nice to meet you both.”

  I look at my sisters, “So what’s going on? Where are Mom and Dad?”

  Rand rolls her eyes, “Dad is playing golf and Mom had a club meeting, they should be back in an hour or so. That will give us time to catch up and get to know you Gabby.”

  I look at my sisters, they really have always tried to take care of me and I can already tell they’ll test Gabby, but they are more comfortable with her, than they ever were Jules. I look at Gabby, “Come on I’ll show you around and we’ll meet you guys back in the game room in a few.”

  After Gabby and I get our bags put away and make it back down to the game room, my sisters have already turned up the music and are playing pool. I look at Gabby, “We spent a lot of time in here as kids and growing up.”

  She smiles, “its cool.”

  We hang out and play pool and darts with my sisters; they have fallen in love with Gabby just like I did. My Mom breezes into the game room, “Hello my children, I didn’t know you’d already gotten here.” She walks over to Gabby, “This beautiful creature must be Gabriella.”

  Gabby smiles, “Yes ma’am, nice to meet you Mrs. Addison.”

  “Oh sweetheart call me Mary.” She looks to my sisters and myself, “We are hosting dinner here tonight at your fathers request for the Carmichaels. Not that I really want to.”

  Vivy laughs, “Then why do it? You know none of us like them.”

  My Mom shakes her head, “Just to shut him up.”

  I look at her, “I can guess his arrangement has to do with me bringing Gabby home. I’m guessing Jules will be attending with her parents.”

  My Mom rolls her eyes, “I’m sure that’s his motive.” She smiles, “But I can look at Miss Gabby here and tell, she can handle it and I think it’ll be good for Jules to be put in her place.”

  We all laugh, I look over to Gabby. “Let’s go get ready for dinner. Looks like you might get a show with dinner.”

  ~Gabby~

  I dress in a simple black dress and black peep toe heels, Linc steps out of the bathroom in khakis and a royal blue button down shirt. He puts his arms around my waist and kisses my neck, “You look beautiful.”

  I smile, “You don’t look so bad yourself handsome.”

  “Are you sure you wanna meet these people…they can be real assholes. That includes my Dad.”

  “Yes…I’m not running scared.”

  He spins me around and takes me in a deep kiss, “That’s why I love you.”

  I laugh, “Sure as if my breasts had nothing to do with it.”

  He smiles, “Well, if I must admit it.”

  I laugh, I know he likes my breast and he loves my ass, but I know it’s more than that…but I love to kid him about it.

  We make our way down to the dining room as we walk in, I’m greeted by his Mom and sisters and the unfamiliar faces. His Mom practically runs over to me, “Everyone this is Gabby, Linc’s girlfriend. She’s spending
her holiday with us. Isn’t she just the prettiest little thing you’ve ever laid eyes on?”

  I can tell his mother is rubbing me in that girls face and for once in my life I find it hilarious.

  I try not to laugh as his sisters chime in. Rand looks at me and smiles, “Oh yes, she’s the best match for Linc I’ve ever seen.”

  I make my way around the room with Linc for introductions Mr. and Mrs. Carmichael shake my hand but you could tell they don’t want to. When we walk up to the ever so famous Jules she juts her hand out, “Hello.”

  I can see she’s pissed and I really think it’s funny. So I smile, “Nice to finally meet you. I didn’t think I would get to after we spoke on the phone.” I see the realization in her face from that phone call. She storms to the other side of the room; I look at Linc and can’t help but giggle.

  We all sit down to dinner, it’s a quiet hour. Linc keeps me grounded. When we finish we move into the living room. I look at Linc and whisper, “I’m going to the restroom.” He nods.

  When I walk out of the bathroom she speaks, “You know his parents are never going to go for you. He’s supposed to be with me. We are going to be this town’s power couple.”

  I laugh, “Don’t you think they should clue Linc in on this because I’m pretty sure he hates your guts.”

  She laughs, “You should really go back to your Redneck Rivera Town. You don’t belong here or with Linc.”

  “So let me get this straight, you think Linc belongs with you…the girl who fucked around on him constantly while they dated…they girl he loathes.”

  “Yes, stupid girl. You are nothing but a distraction with big breasts.”

  Before I realize what I’m doing I slap her across the face, she looks at me stunned and says, “Oh you’ve done it now.”

  She turns to storm into the living room and is stopped by Mary, “So Jules, you think you and Linc belong together simply for status purposes and your faithfulness to him shouldn’t matter. Let me explain something to you…I want for my son whatever he wants…and you are an embarrassment and I don’t want you in my family. This entire town knows that you will give anyone from the gardener to the mayor a turn between your legs. You are an ungrateful slut. Gabby has morals, is beautiful and MOST IMPORTANTLY my son loves her, so as far as I’m concerned sweetheart you can stay the hell away from my house and my family.”
