I crave excitement in my life. To do that, I send my deskmate a video of me pleasing myself with a toy. Bit by bit, it awakens his desires…
View More朝の光が薄いカーテン越しに差し込んできた。私はそのまぶしさに顔をしかめながら、ぼんやりと瞳を開いた。
体が重く、頭がぐらぐらする。この感覚は…酒のせいだとすぐに分かった。昨夜、相当飲んだんだな、と自分に呆れながら体を起こそうとした瞬間、隣に誰かがいることに気づいて、心臓が止まるかと思った。
「え…?」
ベッドの中、私の隣に見知らぬ男性が寝ている。背が高く、広い肩が布団の下から覗いているのが見えた。
混乱した頭の中で必死に昨夜の記憶をたどろうとするが、アルコールのせいか、細部がぼやけている。なんで私、こんなところにいるの?
混乱する中でふと、彼の首元に目が留まった。そこには、見覚えのあるチェーンがぶら下がっている。それは…私の祖母の形見の指輪。昨夜、私は酔った勢いでこの人にそれを渡してしまったのだ。
思い出して、冷や汗がじわりと出る。
「やばい…」
その指輪を取ろうと、彼に手を伸ばすと気配を感じたのか、彼が寝返りを打った。
私は慌ててベッドから抜け出し、できるだけ静かに服を手に取った。ドアの方に向かおうとするけど、頭の中では昨夜の出来事が断片的にフラッシュバックしてくる。彼とは確か、バーで出会った…。
「お待たせしました、ジントニックです。」
カウンター越しに低い声が聞こえ、私は顔を上げた。サングラスをかけたバーテンダーが、グラスをそっと私の前に置く。背が高くて、スーツ姿がよく似合う彼に、私はいつも目を奪われてしまう。サングラスをかけているせいで、表情はよくわからないけど、どこか寡黙でクールな雰囲気がある。
何度か来たことのある、会社の近くのバー。店内は明かりが落とされていて落ち着く空間だ。
彼と一緒に、もう一人同じぐらいの男性がいるこの店。
私もいつもは誰かと来るため、あまり気にしていなかったが、今日は訳あって一人。アルコールも手伝って声をかけていた。
「ありがとうございます。でも…なんでサングラス?」
私は、つい好奇心でそんなことを聞いてしまった。だって、室内なのにサングラスって普通じゃない。
彼は静かに口を開いた。
「視力が弱くて」
一瞬、私は何も言えなくなった。気まずくて、どう返事をすればいいかわからない。無意識に、グラスを口元に運びながら、私は彼をちらりと見た。彼は気にする様子もなく、穏やかに立っていた。
「ごめんなさい…そんなつもりじゃなかったの。」
「大丈夫です。よく聞かれるので。」
彼は短くそう言うと、穏やかに笑ってくれた。少し安心した私は、グラスの中身を一気に飲み干した。アルコールが喉を通ると同時に、気持ちが少しだけ軽くなる気がした。
いつもは気にしていなかったが、確かに彼は歩くとき、手で確認をしている。きっと酒瓶などもわかるように工夫されているのだろう。
「おしいしい」
言われるまで全く気付かないほど、彼のカクテルの味も所作も完璧だった。
私は背中まで伸びたブラウンの髪を手で軽く整え、もう一杯オーダーする。今日はなぜか、いつもよりも飲みたい気分だった。理由はわかっている。両親がまた、お見合いの話を持ち出してきたからだ。
「お見合い、結婚、結婚って。そればっかり…やってられない」
私は、ふと口から愚痴がこぼれていた。いつもならこんなこと言わないけど、今夜は何もかもが嫌だった。彼は黙って私の話を聞いてくれていた。サングラスの奥の表情は見えないけど、彼の態度にはどこか安心感があった。
「自由になりたいのに…恋だってしたことない。こんな生活、何の意味があるんだろう…」
彼はしばらく沈黙していたが、やがて静かに言った。
「自分を責めすぎない方がいいですよ。そんな時もあります。」
彼の言葉に、私は少しだけ救われた気がした。優しい人だな、と思いながら、またグラスを口に運ぶ。でも、それがいけなかった。酒が回りすぎて、頭がぐらぐらしてきたのだ。
「飲みすぎじゃないですか?」
彼の声が聞こえたけれど、もう体が言うことを聞かない。視界がぼやけて、カウンターに顔を伏せるようにしてしまった。
次に目が覚めたとき、私は知らないベッドに横たわっていた。ぼんやりとした意識の中で、天井を見つめる。ここは…どこ?私は混乱したまま周りを見回し、隣にいる彼を見つけた。彼が私をここまで運んできてくれたのだろう。彼が目が見えないと知っていたのに、こんな状況にしたのは私だ。
「一度くらい…自由に生きたいの…恋だって…」
気づけば、私は彼の腕に手を伸ばしていた。彼は一瞬驚いたようだったけれど、すぐにその手を握り返してくれた。そして、私はそのまま彼を引き寄せ、唇を重ねた。彼は戸惑っていたけど、私を拒まなかった。そして、その夜、私たちは一緒に過ごした。
私は、昨夜の出来事を思い出しながら、部屋を後にした。
指輪は彼の首にかかったまま――それが、今の私にとって唯一の後悔だった。あれは、私にとって大切なものだったのに。どうして、あんな風に渡してしまったんだろう…。
外に出ると、冷たい朝の空気が私の頬を打つ。酔いは完全に覚めたけれど、心の中にはまだ、昨夜の余韻が残っていた。
Dad always had the last word. I knew that there was nothing I could do to change his mind.So, just before I got transferred, I stole my phone back and told Austin to meet me in the wooden hut again for the very last time."Austin, I'm transferring away."Austin was shocked. However, a knowing smile immediately appeared on his lips. "I think I know why."We stared at each other for a while, our eyes glistening with unshed tears. We didn't want to be separated because we knew we'd miss each other too much.I hugged Austin, my lover, as tightly as I could."My phone will most probably get taken away. It'll be after the SATs before we get to see each other again."My eyes slowly reddened as I thought about our eventual separation. I was thoroughly miserable and upset.Austin hugged me back equally as tightly."I have another wish to make," he said. "If I can make it into the same college as you… or in the same city as you, can you please… not see other people and wait for me?I
Since I was the bookish and nerdy class belle, and Austin was the bad boy who couldn't care less about his studies, people naturally started paying more attention to our rumor since it was a topic of interest.Soon, the rumor spread like wildfire. It was totally out of our control.The other students never cared about the truth since they only listened to what they wanted to hear.Seeing that the rumor was starting to affect my daily life since literally everybody knew about it. Mom and Dad couldn't withstand the pressure anymore, so they filed a police report. They wanted the police to get to the bottom of this and clear my name."But Gladys, what's actually going on between you and that Austin guy?"Mom and Dad were particularly stern as they questioned me about Austin.I knew that I couldn't tell them the whole truth. If I did, both Austin and I would be in even deeper trouble than now. So, I vaguely replied, "Nothing. They're just making things up."Dad narrowed his eyes at
Austin and I hadn't talked for days. I hurriedly made my way to the wooden hut.As soon as I opened the door, the familiar figure I'd been yearning for days appeared before me. I heard a loud thump of my heart banging against my ribcage."I want to claim my prize."Then, Austin closed the distance between us with just one long stride. He held my head in his hands and kissed me deeply.His kisses were hot and passionate. He was as hungry as a wolf that had been starving for days. His eyes were like a whirlpool oozing with honey as they drew me into the vortex.He ended the kiss too abruptly. I felt hot and uncomfortable as soon as his warm lips left mine.I was going to need to change out my underwear for some fresh ones.Austin held on to me tightly, resting his head against my shoulder. Then, he said slowly, "If I improve again next time, can I get another wish?"I could guess what he was going to say next. I gulped anxiously."I want to be inside you."I looked into his eye
"Okay," I replied.I then put together a meticulous revision plan to help Austin improve by leaps and bounds before the next assessment. I spent all of my free time tutoring him and explaining in detail anything he couldn't understand in class.Worried that he'd slack off at home, I even told him to video call me while he did his homework and revisions so I could keep a strict eye on him.But of course, we ran into a few hiccups while video calling at home. For example, we nearly got discovered by his mom."Are you done with your homework, or are you reading comics again?"I looked at him in the video and saw that he was staring off into space. Upon closer inspection, there was an open comic book lying on the table next to him.However, when I yelled at him, Austin immediately whipped his head around and buried his nose into the revision books again.A short while later, he peeked at me again and gave me the saddest puppy-dog eyes."Gladys, I wanna go to the wooden hut again…
Austin stared back into my eyes as he nodded.Although it wasn't the first time he was looking at my body, I still couldn't help burning up and blushing hard as I recalled all the embarrassing things I'd done in the videos.I chewed on my lower lip and said in a small voice, "I changed my mind. You can only look, not touch. Also, you've seen me a lot of times, but I've never seen yours even once."Austin seemed to be completely caught off-guard. He stared at me for a long while before getting back up on his feet.A loud crack of thunder was heard outside the hut.The sky continued to rumble with thunder as we gazed greedily and lustfully at each other.…Neither one of us told anyone about our rendezvous in the hut that night. However, we had a nightly ritual now before going to bed every night.The chat window with my second number had now become a place for us to reveal our deepest, darkest desires. We kept video calling each other in secret at night as we vented out our scho
It was as if I'd been hypnotized that night. I couldn't explain how I felt as I took my very first set of naughty pictures in my underwear. Then, I sent them to Austin using my second number.I could never forget the shame, anxiety, and thrill I felt gradually morphing into excitement. I also couldn't forget the pleasure I felt that came from breaking a social taboo.My self-restraint was practically nonexistent when it came to Austin.So, I fell harder and stooped even lower.I learned how to please myself in the dead of the night. I learned to secretly purchase adult toys online. I also learned different ways to toy with myself so that I could tease Austin even more with my photos and videos.I felt smug and accomplished whenever I saw how desperate Austin was becoming in the chat replies. Although I had a crush on him, it felt good to be assertive and in control of things.One evening, after night class, Austin leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear, "Hey, pretty deskmate
