Why was I allowing this to happen!? Everything in my brain was against this, but I could feel warm wetness pooling between my legs. It only intensified when the bulge in his pants pushed up against me. He bit into my bottom lip, and I bit his back even harder. With that little exchange, it was all over with.
Without breaking our furious kiss, he began backing me up into the nearby treeline until finally, we were in the darkness of the woods - out of sight. I knew I needed to care that a man who forced me into this kiss had now lured me off into a discreet, unsafe place. But instead, I went along with it as we toppled down into the grass, leaves, and twigs scattered across the cold ground. The coolness of it was a relief against my searing hot skin. And even more relief came as he began ripping my clothes away, exposing my bare skin to the fresh air.
He was like an animal, ravaging me without mercy. Our argument had continued, only now it was through some sick show of passion rather than with our words. And I was filled to the brim with my own inexplicable need for more. We were in too much of a frenzy to dance around it. We just unleashed everything while tearing into each other, and soon we were both naked enough for him to settle between my legs, taunting me with his pounding hard shaft. It was alarmingly large, but I was so desperate at that point that I didn’t expect to have any problems taking him in.
I was right. He slid into me effortlessly, and I stretched around him as if I was always meant to mold to him. Breathless grunts escaped our mouths as he thrusted forward and began pounding into me. It was like a never-ending tidal wave crashing over me again and again. I was glad he moved with such force because it built the pleasure so quickly and intensely that I had less time to ask myself what it was I was doing and why I was doing it.
Everything turned dark as my pleasure mounted to uncontrollable proportions. I cried out, clenching my fingers into the dirt and moss around me. The sight of me must have been enough to push him over the edge as well because he was soon shuddering right along with me. Just as quickly as it began, it was over. The heat of his body was gone, falling somewhere beside me. I don’t know for sure because I kept my eyes closed tight.
I was suddenly exhausted, and I didn’t dare look at him or say a word. I gave into the tiredness that had flooded me just as I had given into his advances. I stayed hidden away in the darkness with my eyes closed until the world faded away.
At some point in the night, after everything had turned dark, I woke up and felt renewed with sense. Good sense that told me I had no business laying around in the woods, half-naked, with a man that I loathed and wanted to destroy. I couldn’t bear to start questioning what had come over me. I just grabbed the shreds of my clothes that were left, covered myself up, and snuck off back to my home. Thankfully, Mama and Jada were sleeping too soundly to hear me come in.
I was playing a pretty good game with myself of forgetting the whole incident entirely. That is until an unexpected knock came to the door later that afternoon. I was terrified that it’d be Leo, and I wasn’t ready to face him. I didn’t know if I’d ever be ready to see him again. But instead, I found Dario with a big smile on his face, waiting on the other side of the door.
“Oh, hello. How can I help you?” I asked in surprise. My cheeks turned bright red. Did he somehow know about what happened?
“I brought you these,” he beamed, shoving a bouquet of flowers into my hands. “May I come in?”
Jada and my mother had gone out for the afternoon, leaving me in the house alone. After everything that happened the day before, I didn’t particularly want to let Dario in. But he had an eagerness on his face that made me think he wouldn’t take no for an answer. Reluctantly, I stepped aside and waved him in.
“I just wanted to apologize,” he announced as I busied myself
