We hung out at our place for a bit, but then us ladies decided to go out for a nice dinner together. We invited Jacob, but he told us to go ahead. “I don’t want to interfere with ladies’ night,” he teased. So, that was what we did. I wasn’t sure if he was a bit peeved at me for coming at him about that stupid fight, or if he really just wanted me to have a fun night with my friends, but I felt bad about the way I had yelled at him. Sort of. I wasn’t sure. Did he even care?
Jacob was infuriating to argue with because he didn’t argue back. He was not at all sorry for what he did and he refused to apologize. The fact that this made me angry did not seem to bother him. He wasn’t trying to make me mad, but he didn’t allow my emotions to affect him or rile him up in any way.
This only served to make me madder at him, but in a way, I respected him for it and some part of me found it to be kind of adorable. I hated that I found such surly behavior amusing on some level and I hoped that I didn’t communicate it to him, but that was the way I felt about it. And now I was the only one angry, so I had to forgive him and just cool down. This was our first actual fight (if you can call a one-sided fight, a fight) and I just needed to let it go and focus on hanging with my friends.
“Girl, that boy is so fine!” Josie squealed when we were in the car driving to dinner.
“Hell, yes he is!” Tammy seconded. “You hit the jackpot. And I can tell he worships the ground you walk on.”
I smiled. “I’m not sure I would go that far, but we do have a very special relationship.”
“So, what is with the tension?” Josie asked.
“What?”
“Yeah, I thought I felt something…”
I should have known better than to try to hide something from them. They both knew me far too well. I told them both about what had happened.
“Nice, a man fighting over you. That’s so hot,” Tammy said.
“Of course, you would think that,” I teased.
“You shouldn’t be mad over that. He just did what he felt he had to do. No guy should ever let another man treat his lady that way. I’m proud of him for standing up for you, consequences be damned.”
I listened to what Tammy was saying and the more she talked, I had to agree with her. She was right to an extent. She absolutely was. I’d overreacted and allowed my fear to cloud my judgment. That wasn’t the right way for me to treat Jacob. I needed to apologize to him.
But I’ve always been stubborn that way.
We had wonderful time at dinner. My friends were blown away by how good the food was in Indianapolis. I wanted to show them a good time, so I drove them into the city. During dinner a few charming gentlemen asked us all to dance. I declined, but my girls had a ball dancing with some single, sexy guys.
And they both drank way too much. I only had a few, opting to stay sober and be the responsible one to drive us home safely. When we got back to my place, we were all ready to crash. Jacob was gone. He’d texted me that he was going home to work on some school work. I thought it odd and I wondered if I’d made him angrier than he was letting on. Had I just really screwed something up? I hoped not. I loved him so much. Whatever he was feeling, I’m sure we could talk and clear the air.
I called him before turning in, but it went straight to voice mail. I was getting nervous now. Jacob had never not responded before. This might have been more serious than I realized.
I eventually fell asleep and the next day I had breakfast with my friends. I told them what was going on and they assured me that I was getting worked up over nothing.
I said goodbye to my friends as they got into their Uber and took off for the airport. I hated to see them go, but it was time to say goodbye. I went back inside, got ready for work, and then went to the fieldhouse. I didn’t see Jacob and I couldn’t risk being obvious by looking around for him.
I tried to just throw myself into the work and ignore all the crazy thoughts going around in my head and the emotions I was dealing with. Somehow, I held it together and before I realized it I was about to go home. The place was more or less empty. I didn’t have too many illnesses or injuries to pay attention to at the moment.
And I couldn’t wait to get out of there fast enough. I needed to get some sleep tonight anyway, so I thought I might go to bed early. I needed badly to get some rest. I was feeling a bit worn out and I had a morning of meetings the next day with some of the heads of the school of medicine. I wanted badly to be made an associate professor at the very least, but currently they didn’t have an opening and the only reason I was solely the team’s doctor (which left a lot of my day open for writing) was because the professor they wanted to take over those duties just wasn’t interested and did not have much experience in orthopedics or sports medicine. I’d done a residency in these fields a year ago and so I was given the call.
I had lucked out more or less that way. But it did leave a big chunk of my time while working with the team unfulfilled. Unless someone was suffering a severe injury or sickness then I did not have much to do.
I headed home. I’d tried to reach Jacob on the way, but he still wasn’t answering. What was going on with him? I was starting to feel very uneasy about all of this and I wondered if I’d really done something stupid and pushed him away. If I overreacted that way to something like this, then how would I react to other things?
But this had been important to me. And I truly felt that Jacob had hurt my trust.
I pulled into the driveway and then went into the house. As I closed and locked the door behind me, I never imagined I would see the sight that my eyes beheld next. There in front of me in the kitchen totally nude was Jacob.
“Hey, there,” he said.
“Um… hi…well, this is a nice surprise,” I said. “I’ve been worried sick. You’ve been ignoring me.”
“I thought that was the idea,” he said. He was pulling his length now, and it was growing steadily harder and longer. I could hardly take my eyes off it. I was hypnotized, my gaze glued to this action in front of me. Oh, it was hot. I was getting wet and turned on. My body was now tingling all over. I licked my lips nervously.
“Well, at work, yes. But not totally. I’ve tried to call you a bunch of times. Why did you stop taking my calls?”
“I’ve been busy,” He said. “Besides, absence does make the heart grow fonder. It was all part of this little surprise I decided to spring on you.”
“Well, this is interesting,” I said. I sat my things down and removed my coat. I was now wearing only a blouse and a skirt. My thong underwear was being drenched in my juices as I continued to get worked up.
I watched with growing intensity as he continued to pull himself to his full length. His thickness was so damn appetizing. I wanted it all inside of me.
“Come here, baby,” Jacob said.
I walked towards him and he grabbed me and pulled me right up to his chest. He smelled me, inhaling my scent like a hungry animal about to devour its prey. I wanted him to want me that way. I waited with anticipation as he opened his mouth and kissed me hard on the mouth. I let myself be taken by the kiss, closing my eyes and letting my mind drift off to some other altered dream state where nothing else made sense.
His strong hands picked me up right then and carried me over to the kitchen island where he set me down and quickly went to work pushing my skirt up, hiking it up above my hips actually. Then he knelt down between my legs and reached upwards to adjust my underwear, moving them out of the way. He grunted slightly with glee before he stuck his large fingers inside my growing wetness.
“Oh fuck!” I moaned. His touch could make me tremble and melt at any moment. And when his fingers penetrated my folds that way and mingled with the wetness, I felt like a musical instrument in the hands of a virtuoso master. I was just waiting to see what song he was going to play next.
His fingers plunged into me gripping and clawing their way through my inner folds until they reached their destination, triggering spasms of bliss in their wake along
the tightening corridors of my body. I shuddered throughout my being and closed my eyes as I licked my lips and let this perfect man take me away.
I pushed forward slightly with my hips to facilitate the spearing of his fingers into my sweet wetness. I needed it so badly. The emotions of the past day had been trying. Not knowing what was going to happen next had been a nightmare. What was going to happen with us? Had I ruined this relationship as I’d ruined others before it? Why did this keep happening to me? I’d always been so bad at relationships.
But this was different. This was special and I would be damned if I was going to do something to lose this one. No way.
Jacob pulled his fingers out of me and kissed me hard on the mouth with animosity and fury. He seemed almost rabid as if he needed me to the point of breathing.
He grabbed his hard shaft and plunged it into my tight wetness, my core which existed now only for him and the pleasure he would endlessly bring to it. I wrapped my arms around his neck to hold on under the onslaught of his vicious fucking.
I loved it. This wasn’t romantic lovemaking; this was just hardcore totally mind lost in the act sex. And I could not get enough of it. This level of enthusiasm had inspired a level of intensity in myself. Beneath me, his muscular cheeks flexed with every single thrust, bringing me closer to epic delights that I just could not understand being real. My mind had left me and I found myself waiting for nothing else in the world but this endless joy.
“Give it to me!” I yelled as he pumped me harder still, throwing my body around on his like a rag doll despite my best efforts to hang on. He was so hard, so thick inside of me. I could feel that he was about to come. He was going to fill me full of his sweet, salty come, his man juice, his love honey. I wanted every single drop of it to infiltrate my system and create a ball of pleasure that had never before been equaled.
“Yes!” I screamed as I came hard on his thickening member, feeling it growing inside of me right before he began to fill me with his luscious juice, so salty and thick. My body lapped it up as all of my orgasmic facilities were activated and called to action.
I held onto the counter beneath me as my body shifted gears into some whirlwind of orgasmic brilliance and my mind and body left this world momentarily to achieve that kind of blissful excellence and then came slamming back as I finished my climax.
And then it was over. We laid against each other, his member still probing in and out of me softly, gently but with smooth pleasure. Our bodies began to wind down and somehow, we made it to the bedroom where we cuddled together on the bed in the dark.
Jacob fell asleep first beside me, his easy breathing rhythm in the dark comforting me. I hated that I’d gotten so mad at him before. It was stupid. I had been so wrong. I was just scared. I hoped he saw that, but despite my best efforts to be brave about this and put up a great, strong front, I was scared to death. All of this could be exposed at any time. What would we do?
We would lose everything that we’d spent our lives working for. But at least we’d be free. We’d have each other and wouldn’t that be worth it? I sometimes thought it would be, but I would never dream of asking Jacob to risk his dream that way.
But I imagined he would if prompted. That also terrified me.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Jacob
I arrived home to my dorm room right after my first class of the morning. I had some work to do to prepare for an upcoming quiz. Plus, it might have looked good for people to actually see me coming or going from my actual room. I wondered if anyone had really noticed since I’d been spending almost every night at Maria’s. I didn’t want to bring up any thoughts in people that weren’t already there.
I entered my room and quickly prepared a sandwich. Studying always made me hungry. The place looked absolutely wrecked compared to the neat and tidy nature of Maria’s place. I figured I would get around to cleaning things up eventually, but I’d just been too busy. Right now, I had more important things to worry about. I had school, and practice, and a big game coming up this weekend, and of course I had Maria, who I could not stand to not be around. I wanted to be with her every single second and when I wasn’t I missed her terribly.
I was just finishing up my study session and getting ready to go to another class before heading to practice when the knock at the door came. I was not at all prepared for the face I saw on the other side of it when I answered. But there she was with a smug smile on her face. Irene.
“What are you doing here, Irene?” I asked.
She smiled. “Is that any way to greet your girlfriend?”
“What are you talking about? We broke up weeks ago.”
“Well, that is what I’m here to discuss.”
I groaned. “We’ve been over this repeatedly. What are you not getting? We broke up. We are done. There is nothing you can say or do that will change that.”
“Oh, I beg to differ,” Irene said. Then she barged right past me into my dorm. “You’d better close the door. You don’t want what I’m about to say to fall on the wrong ears.”
Now I was curious. And I had a nagging, sinking feeling in my stomach. This did not feel right. What was she getting at? Her demeanor was even more cocky and triumphant than normal. She was really on to something, or at least she thought she was. Something told me that it would be in my best interest to at least hear her out.
I shut the door and strode into the living area. “What is it?”
“I know.”
That was it. She let the words hang in the air. Looking back on this, those words should have immediately disturbed me, but at the moment they did nothing. They didn’t even make sense. I looked around at the empty room and shrugged. “You know what?”
“I know about you and the good doctor.”
My heart sank. I started to sweat and my pulse began to race. Shit. Seriously? How was this possible? Dammit… oh, wow… what was I going to do?
I tried to play it cool. Maybe Irene only suspected and she didn’t have any actual proof. We’d been so careful. There was no way that she could know.
“What are you talking about?” I asked.
“I’m talking about you and Maria Charles. I know you are an item.”
I laughed nervously. This was not happening. No… I had to talk to Maria and let her know. This was seriously messed up. But I had to stay cool until I had all the facts. What the hell did this psycho know?
“I’m not sure what you are referring to,” I said shaking my head.
“Oh, that’s good. You are going to deny it to the end. Well, it’s a good thing I have proof then.”
Irene pulled her phone out of her pants pocket and showed her screen to me. Stepping forward to get a better look, I almost recoiled in terror. There was Maria and I kissing and caressing each other, making love in the living room. It was undeniably us.
“What in the hell?” I asked. I was livid. How had this bitch invaded my privacy to get these?
She laughed. “Yeah, that’s right. I’ve got you by the balls now, so to speak.”
I shook my head. “What game are you playing? What business is it of yours who I’m with? You and I are done.”
“I always get what I want. And I want you. I hired a private investigator to follow you around, to get some dirt on you that I could leverage against you. And he finally found something juicy, even juicier than I ever imagined it could be. I almost flipped out when I saw it.”
“What game are you playing? This is sick.”
“It might be sick, but it’s what it is. And right now, it’s my game and you had better be willing to play if you know what’s good for you.”
I sighed. She was right. She had me dead to right. There was no way out of this. I had to play it cool and stay calm.
“What do you want?” I asked.
“What I’ve always wanted—you.”
“Me?”
“Yes. Come back to me and dump the good doctor. Or else these pictures and the video—yes, there is video—
I have of you will wind up all over the internet. I have copies of all of this. You can’t know where to look to destroy the evidence.”
I began to pace back and forth. What was I going to do? I loved Maria. I couldn’t just let this happen to us. What was I going to tell her?
“You want me this way? Really? How sad is that?” I asked.
Irene scowled at me. “Hey, I get what I want. You are just so stubborn that I had to give you some incentive to remind you of what you really want. In due time you will see that this is the best thing. And then the doctor will be a thing of the past, a temporary lapse in judgment.”
I hated her so much. Irene was evil. She was far more wicked than any person I’d ever known.
“You are sad. This is the only way you think you can get me. That’s pathetic. You are a joke.”
“Hey! Watch your words, or this offer might vanish in smoke. I’ll have those pictures all over the internet and social media in minutes. You had better get control of yourself and watch what you say to me.”
I glared at her. This was sad. And it was sad for me too. She had me and I had no way of getting away from it. I had to go along with it.
“I need some time to break it off,” I said.
“You can have twenty-four hours to end it with Maria. Then you and I are back. And life can resume to normalcy again. I’ve been waiting so long…I know it’s only been weeks, but it feels like an eon, doesn’t it? You and I back together again. So perfect. Yes… my love. Perfect.”
