Evolution Begins With A Big Tree Chapter 178

その日は私――高瀬晴香（たかせ はるか）の誕生日だった。 恋人の田川雅人（たがわ まさと）と、海辺で一緒に花火を見に行けると思っていた―― けれど彼は、朝倉奈美（あさくら なみ）とその子どもを連れてきた。 「奈美は子ども連れで大変なんだ。少し気をつかってあげて。 道にも不慣れだし、荷物も多いから、俺が先にホテルまで送ってくる」 雅人はまるで取るに足らないことでも説明するように、あっさりと言った。 こんな優しさの前では、怒る私のほうが理不尽に見えてしまう。 彼は二人を車に乗せ、子どもには自らシートベルトを締めてやった。 そして私に向かって、穏やかに笑いながら言った。 「すぐ戻るから。余計なこと考えるなよ」 三人は、まるで家族のように去っていった。私は道端に立ち尽くし、ただ見送った。 夜の気配が降りて、海風が肌を刺すほど冷たい。 私はまだ待っていた――スマホ画面に奈美の動画投稿が流れてくる、その瞬間まで。 雅人は奈美の娘を腕に抱き、海辺で花火を見上げている。 それは本来、私が自分の誕生日のために用意していたものだった。 コメント欄はこうだ。 【ほんとお似合い。幸せそうな三人家族】 誰かがどうして私を迎えに行かないと雅人に尋ねた。 彼は笑って答える。 「晴香は気が長いし、怒らないから」 その瞬間、ケーキは溶けて、とろりと崩れていった。 彼は冷たい人ではない。ただ、あまりにも確信していた―― 私はいつまでも待っている、と。 けれど、優しさの中で放っておかれる時間が長くなれば、心だって冷えていく。 波が岸を打つたびに、私の最後の幻想も砕けていく。 今度こそ、私はもう、彼の帰りを待たない。

In one move, he lifted her and lowered her onto him, driving into her body all the way. She sobbed as he stretched her lips over his cock, taking him in, fluttering as her pussy welcomed him. His hands ran over her neck, her breasts, her ass. He grasped her hips and started to move her on him, rolling her back and forth. She rode him, her back arching, her breath coming faster and harder as he plunged as hard as he could. **** Annie Matthews has made her peace with invisibility.
