Chapter 7

“Take your leave. Place the spare keys on the table before you go!” I said, and then painfully turned around, trying to remember why I had turned to the kitchen in the first place.

Oh, I need something warm in me.

I heard Sage hiss behind me, then she came closer, reached for a mug in the cupboard, placed it on the counter, and then filled it with a bag of mint tea. She poured some boiling water on it, then stirred it with a teaspoon. She placed the mug on a saucer, which was seated on the counter, then pushed it towards me.

“You were out there fucking someone random after you’ve kept yourself for your darling Dave! Huh, righteous one!” Sage whispered with a small smile.

“I fell!” I said with gritted teeth, glaring at her.

“How old do you think I am again? Four?”

“Look, I’m not pissed. It is just a shame that this betrayal opened your eyes. You’ve always lived by the books, but I’m glad you are now LIVING!”

“How hot is he?” My younger sister grinned, ignoring my glares.

“Look, I’m sorry about the betrayal. I’ll make sure those bastards pay. But this is important too. I’m quite experienced, so isn’t it fair that you open up to me?”

“I never want to see you in my home.” I was about to turn around when I pointed a finger at Sage. “Not a word to mom about my life.”

I hissed in pain the moment I tried to take fast steps away. He really meant his word when he mentioned that I wouldn’t be able to walk for days.

“Heyyyy! You can’t just chase me away without spilling the tea!” Sage said behind me.

I shut the door to my bedroom, leaned against it, shut my eyes for a moment, and heaved a deep sigh.

I felt tears tickle in my eyes.

Do I still feel hurt about the betrayal? Yes.

And about what went on last night with the stranger? I would rather not think about it.

I took my phone out of my purse, connected it to the charger by the nightstand, and limped into my adjoined bathroom.

I gently took off my clothes and hopped into the shower.

I rested my back against the cold wall as the warm water drizzled on me.

His face appeared in my memory, and an involuntary moan escaped me as I felt his hands roam through my body.

My eyes suddenly flashed open. I looked down at my chest and saw how tight my nipples were. Not only that, but I also felt tingles in my core.

I mentally facepalmed. What did you get yourself into, Isabelle?

“That fat ass cock!” I found myself mumbling. “Ughhhhhh!” I groaned. The last thing I needed right now was to be obsessed over someone I would never see again.

My left hand slowly crept to my left boob while the right one made its way to my clit. My finger went in circles while I fondled my nipples with the other hand. My eyes were closed, and my back was still resting against the wall.

A loud moan escaped me as I envisioned Don’s cock in me. I increased my pace in pleasuring my clit.

“Yeah, yeah, right there, don’t stop!” I cried, feeling the pleasure building up in me.

Then I came really hard!!!

“fuckkkk!” I cursed, trying to catch my breath.

Did I just cum to the memory of a stranger?

Holy shit, Bella. You need to get your life together.

I reached for my body wash, sponge as well, and I started doing what I came in here for, hoping to wash off all his scents from me.

I was done in no time. I dried myself, then exited the bathroom. I applied some ointment down there, then changed into a baggy knee-length dress

I was almost crawling into bed when a knock came through on my door.

I puffed out some air. “I thought we agreed that you would be gone the moment I left the living room,” I said sternly.

The door pushed open, and Sage’s face came into view.

“How long do you intend to hide this news from mom?” She said after shutting the door behind her.

“Huh?”

“I informed her that you are safe. She was happy, then said I should ask you when she should be expecting your call so you both can begin the preparations.”

“I also think she has told some family members.”

I brought my hand up to massage my temple while mumbling some inaudible words.

“I understand your reason for wanting to stay quiet. But at this point, I think we need to spill before it escalates to what we can’t control.”

“Do I need to remind you that Aurora is Mom’s third daughter?” I stared intently at my younger sister, who shrugged in return.

“I know, but won’t the truth be out in the end?”

“Just let things be. I’ll handle it when I have a clear head,” I put aside the duvet, then crawled into bed.

“What the hell happened last night?” Sage asked again.

“I got betrayed, humiliated,” I mumbled as my head rested on the pillow.

“Not that.” She began to take close steps toward me.

“I appreciate you being here, but don’t you have something more important to attend to?”

Sage ignored and took a seat beside me. “You seem like someone who would burst into tears if I walked out of here. You’ve been a perfectionist all your life. I know how hard you can be on yourself when something doesn’t go the way you want it to.”

“I know it hurts, but you are not at fault here. I’m also glad you got laid. I’m so happy it happened, but why do I have a feeling that something is wrong?”

I shut my eyes for a moment and mentally facepalmed. “You’re overthinking.”

“No, I’m not! You just don’t want to share.”

“There’s nothing to share. It was just a one-night thing, I don’t even remember a thi….!” The size of Don’s dick flashed in my memory, causing me to swallow painfully.

“The look in your eyes says otherwise!” Sage accused.

“I don’t care if it’s just a one-time thing, but did you have a good time?” Sage asked with hopeful eyes, a smile threatening to escape her.

Really? I was in this state, and that was the only thing she could focus on?
