I stood there, my heart pounding in my chest, as Michael approached me. I could see the desperation in his eyes, the pleading expression on his face. But I didn't care. I was done with him.
"What do you want, Michael?" I spat out, trying to keep my voice steady. "I want to talk to you," he said, his voice low and urgent. "I want to explain what happened." I laughed, a cold, hard sound. "Explain what happened? You think you can explain away what I saw? You think you can justify cheating on me with my best friend?" Michael took a step closer to me, his eyes locked on mine. "Mabel, please listen to me. It wasn't like that. It was a mistake, a stupid mistake. I love you, not Laura." I shook my head, feeling a wave of anger wash over me. "I'm not the one who threw away five years of our lives together and slept with my best friend." Michael's face twisted in a mixture of guilt and desperation. "Mabel, please. Don't say that. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'll do anything to make it right." I turned to walk away, but Michael grabbed my arm, holding me back. "Mabel, wait. Please don't go. We need to talk about this." I jerked my arm free, my heart racing with anger and fear. "Let me go, Michael. I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to see you. I'm done with you." And with that, I turned and walked away, heading to my car, driving away, leaving Michael standing alone in the darkness. The days that followed were a blur of emotions and activity. I informed Felix that I was quitting my job, and he was the only one I told. Michael and Laura had called and texted me several times, but I eventually blocked both of them. I was done with them. My search for a new apartment and a job continued, both offline and online. Then I stumbled upon a notice about a girl named Hazel Harrison looking for a roommate in Dax City. I contacted her, and she agreed to meet up. We met at her place, a cozy apartment in a quiet neighborhood. The apartment was fully furnished with a comfortable couch, a large TV, and a spacious room with a bed, a window with a nice view, and a closet. The bathroom had a big bathtub, and the kitchen was amazing too. I was impressed by the apartment's amenities and the low rent. Hazel was a beautiful lady with long brown hair and black eyes, she was a friendly and welcoming person. She was 27, a year older than me, and had a chatty and humorous demeanor that made it easy for us to connect. Her cousin had bought the apartment for her, and she was looking for a responsible roommate to share the rent and living expenses. We exchanged phone numbers and she gave me a spare key for the apartment. We talked about payments and agreed to split the bill. Hazel had a few conditions, which were no big deal for me. "No smoking indoors, no loud music at night, and no parties without informing me," she said, and I agreed immediately. I was relieved to have found a new apartment and a roommate so quickly. I couldn't afford the entire apartment on my salary, so I was glad to have found someone to share the rent and living expenses. After I left the apartment, I decided to check out the area around the apartment, looking for a job nearby. I walked down the street, taking in the sights and sounds of the neighborhood. I passed by a few shops and restaurants, and then I saw a bar that caught my eye. I walked in and asked if they were hiring, and to my surprise, they were. We talked about my start date and settled on a day that worked for both of us. A month had passed, I finally quit my job, left the hotel I stayed at, and arrived at the apartment around 3 pm, after a long drive. Hazel wasn't around, so I settled into my room, unpacking and arranging. As I was unpacking, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. I had been so focused on getting away from Michael and Laura that I hadn't really thought about what I was getting myself into. I didn't know much about Hazel or her family, and I was starting to feel a little anxious about living with a stranger. I pushed the thoughts aside and decided to take a bath to relax. I poured myself a glass of wine and settled into the tub, feeling the warm water soothe my muscles. I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath, feeling my tension melt away. As I relaxed in the bathtub, my hands began to roam over my body, tracing the curves of my skin and exploring the contours of my flesh. I thought about how long it had been since I'd been laid, it had been over a month, to be exact - and how desperately I needed to feel the touch of another person. But for now, I was alone, and I had to rely on my own fingers to satisfy my cravings. I brought my hands to my breasts, cupping them gently and feeling the weight of them in my palms. My fingers danced across my nipples, teasing them into hard, sensitive peaks. I moaned softly as I touched myself, feeling a spark of pleasure ignite within me. I guided one hand down to my slit, feeling the warmth and wetness of my own arousal. My fingers slipped inside me, moving in slow, gentle circles as I began to rub my clit. A moan escaped my lips as I increased the pressure, feeling my body begin to respond to my touch. I parted my legs wider, feeling the water lap against my skin as I continued to touch myself. My fingers moved in and out of me, slowly at first, but then with increasing speed and urgency. I gasped as I slipped a second finger inside me, feeling my walls clench around me as I began to get more wet. My moans and the sound of the water in the bathtub created a symphony of sound that filled the bathroom. I continued to massage my breasts and nipples with one hand, while fucking myself with the other. I was close to coming, and I could feel my body building towards a crescendo of pleasure. I removed my other hand from my breast and brought it to my clit, circling it with my fingers as I continued to thrust my other hand in and out of me. My hands worked in harmony, moving in perfect sync as I increased the pace of both. “Fuck… mmm….” I moaned out, my voice barely above a whisper. I came with a convulsion of my body, my legs shaking and my muscles tensing as I rode out the wave of pleasure. I didn't stop touching myself until my body came down from its high, and then I slowly slipped my fingers out of my pussy. But even as I lay there, basking in the afterglow of my orgasm, I knew that I wasn't satisfied. I needed more - I needed the touch of another person, the feel of a cock inside me. I was still horny, still craving the physical connection that I had been missing for so long. I stayed in the bathtub a bit, before I headed to the toilet to pee. After I finished my business, I walked out of the bathroom with a short towel wrapped around my body. Just as I was about to change, I heard the doorbell ring. I thought it was Hazel and wondered why she was using the bell instead of her keys. "Who could that be? Did Hazel forget her keys?" I muttered to myself. "The door was locked when I got here." When I got to the door, I was surprised to see a tall, handsome stranger standing there instead of Hazel. The man, dressed impeccably in a black suit, his dark hair styled neatly, accentuating his broad shoulders and athletic build, his lips full and small. He exuded an air of self-assurance and charisma that immediately caught my attention. His deep brown eyes, framed by long, dark lashes, seemed to pierce through me, making me feel seen and captivated. He looked at me, his eyes scanning my body, and his eyes darkened. I felt a shiver run down my spine. I then remembered I was still wrapped in my towel, and it was really short. I panicked, suddenly feeling self-conscious and clutching the towel tightly to my chest.“Why are you here, Steve?” I crossed my arms on my chest, my eyes meeting his. His gaze was like daggers. He said nothing but reached out, his fingers closing firmly around my arm before he began to drag me toward the apartment door.His grip was a possessive demand, a clear sign he wasn’t here to talk, he was here to assert his control.“Let go of me!” I struggled, twisting in his grasp. “Stop it, Steve, you're hurting me,” I cried out.He looked down at his hand on my arm, and a flicker of something, not regret but surprise, crossed his face. He slowly loosened his grip, releasing me. His expression crumpled, as if the thought of harming me had just dawned on him.“So you and him are like a thing now?” he finally spoke.Him? He means Luke. What right does he have to even ask?“No.”“Then why did he hug and kiss you?”“That's none of your business, Steve.” I replied, rolling my eyes. “You need to leave. I have to prepare for my shift at the bar.”I’m not doing this with him. Not agai
“Who is Mabel?” Zoey repeated, her eyes locked on mine, searching for answers. “That's none of your business, Zoey,” I bit out, dismissing the question with a wave of my hand.“It became my business after you began to moan her name with your fucking cock in my mouth, Steve!” she yelled, lunging to her feet.“Don't you dare raise your voice at me!” I warned her. I snapped my fingers, a hard, sharp command, gesturing for her to come back to my lap.My own stupidity was staggering. The name had slipped out, and I knew Zoey wouldn't let it go. Her interest was piqued, and she would now obsess over who Mabel was.“Come here.”She obeyed, but sat stiffly on my lap. I wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close, and leaned in to whisper in her ear.“Let's finish what you came here for.”I needed to fuck her to prove to both of us that Mabel meant nothing to me.My hand slipped beneath her tight gown, rubbing her thighs. Zoey’s hand shot out immediately, grabbing mine and yanking it a
“I've missed you, Steve.” The blonde-haired girl, Zoey, whispered with lips stained bright red, her voice low and sensual as she settled onto my lap. Fifteen minutes. That’s what I’d told her. And she was here. Already. She must have jumped in her car the second I hung up. Good. I needed something fast and simple. Zoey leaned in, her breath warm against my neck, bringing her lips down to nibble on the skin just below my jawline. A shiver ran through me as her tongue, warm and wet, traced a path upwards to my ear. “Is that so, Zoey?” I managed, my voice a low rumble. She had always been good at this. She knew the game, and she played it well, never asking for more than what was offered. “Yes, Steve,” she breathed, her fingers already working at the buttons of my shirt, nimble and quick. Each button gave way with a soft click, revealing more skin. “I’ve thought of nothing but you.” Her
(Steve's pov)“Enjoy your lunch. We'll talk later.” I lied. The damn words left a bitter taste in my mouth, a flimsy cover veiling the anger churning beneath. I wanted to drag her back, to finish what we started, to make her forget that pathetic excuse for a man.I didn't give her a chance to say another word about the stupid lunch date, didn't wait for her response. Her face, half-hidden by her hair, had already hardened with defiance, and that’s what truly twisted the knife in my gut.I spun on my heel, grabbed my clothes, the casual shirt and jeans I’d discarded carelessly, now bundled in a clenched fist. I left immediately. I slammed the bedroom door behind me, a sharp, echoing thud that resonated with the fury brewing in me, boiling in my gut.The cool air of the hallway did nothing to cool me down; if anything, it seemed to fan the flames of my rising rage. I took heavy, deliberate steps as I strode towards the exit.
Steve watched me intently, urging me to talk.“You know exactly what I’m talking about, Steve.” I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest.“We were just about to have sex, Mabel!” He raised his hands, exasperated. “Now you're going for lunch with another guy?”“Is that what this is about?” I scoffed. “Sex?”I should have known. He wasn't worried about me going to lunch with Luke. He was just annoyed we'd been interrupted.“You're not bothered that he interrupted us, Mabel?”Jerk. Asshole. Selfish prick.“No, Steve. I’m not bothered about it,” I stated calmly, my voice steady. “I already made up my mind last night.” I couldn’t and wouldn't, tumble into another chaotic relationship, especially not with my boss. Steve's jaw tightened. The flash of hurt vanished, replaced by a cold, hard glare that made me shiver despite the warmth of the room. He took a step closer, h
I thought he had left, and a pang of disappointment shot through me. But I was wrong. I knew he'd already seen every part of my body, but him seeing me like this, standing naked in my bedroom, was still deeply embarrassing. I groaned internally.Steve's eyes darkened with desire, still wearing nothing but the towel that hung loosely on his waist. He closed the door with a quiet click and began to walk towards me. I spun around, fumbling to pull my bra on. I could feel his gaze burning into my backside as he got closer, his footsteps silent, yet loud enough to tell me exactly when he stopped behind me, towering over me.Then came the cold contact of his palm on my ass cheek. He gently squeezed, then delivered a light slap that echoed through the room, making me gasp in shock. Still, I refused to turn around. I wouldn't let him see the immediate effect his touch had on me. If I gave in now, he'd probably have me right here on the dresser.As I
