CHAPTER 7 A Deadly Affair
"Shh," he whispered , his breath hot against her ear. "Someone might hear us."
She bit her lip, her heart pounding in her chest as she pressed herself closer to him. The small, dimly lit room they were hiding in was thick with the scent of their lust. Every sound seemed amplified, from the soft rustle of their clothes to the distant murmur of voices just outside the door.
"I don't care," she murmured back, her voice barely above a whisper. Her fingers trembled as they traced the outline of his jaw, her thumb brushing against his lips. "I need you, now."
He groaned softly, his hand slipping under her skirt, his fingers finding the heat between her legs. She gasped, her body arching into his touch as he began to stroke her with deft, practiced movements. The intensity of his touch sent shivers down her spine, her mind reeling with the sensations he was creating within her.
"God, you're so wet," he muttered, his voice rough with desire. His other hand reached up to cup her breast through her blouse, his thumb flicking over her nipple until it hardened beneath his touch.
She moaned softly, her head falling back as she surrendered to the waves of pleasure washing over her. The guilt that usually gnawed at her was pushed aside by the overwhelming desire she felt for him. It was reckless, dangerous, and yet she couldn't bring herself to stop.
"Take me," she begged, her voice hoarse with need. "Please, take me now."
He didn't need to be told twice. With a growl, he pulled her skirt up and yanked her panties to the side, positioning himself at her entrance. She spread her legs wider, giving him better access as she clung to his shoulders, her nails digging into his flesh.
"Are you sure?" he asked, his voice tight with restraint. "We can't afford to get caught."
"Yes," she panted, her eyes locking onto his. "I need this. I need you."
With a grunt, he thrust into her, the sudden penetration making her cry out. He froze for a moment, waiting for her to adjust to his size, but she gripped his hips, urging him to move.
"Fuck me," she demanded, her voice breaking with emotion. "Harder, please."
He complied without hesitation, his hips slamming into hers with increasing urgency. Each thrust sent jolts of pleasure coursing through her body, the friction of their bodies meeting, heightening her arousal. She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him even deeper inside her as she chased after the release she craved.
"Yes, yes," she chanted, her voice rising with each word. "Like that, oh God, like that."
He reached between them, his thumb finding her clit and rubbing it with expert precision. The added stimulation pushed her closer to the edge, her body trembling with the effort of holding on.
"Cum for me," he urged, his voice low and commanding. "Let go, baby."
Her control shattered at those words, her orgasm crashing over her like a tidal wave. She screamed his name, her body convulsing around his cock as wave after wave of pleasure rocked through her. He followed her over the precipice moments later, his own release sending him shuddering as he emptied himself inside her.
They stayed frozen in that moment for what felt like an eternity, their breaths mingling as they tried to catch their breath. Finally, he slowly pulled out of her, his hand cradling her face as he leaned in to kiss her forehead.
"That was incredible," he murmured, his voice filled with awe. "You're incredible."
She smiled weakly, still catching her breath. "Don't say that. We can't keep doing this."
"Why not?" he challenged, his eyes dark with frustration. "We both want it."
"Because it's wrong," she argued, her voice strained. "We can't keep risking everything for this."
"I don't care," he retorted, his grip on her tightening. "I can't stay away from you."
She shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "This has to end, before we lose everything."
He stared at her for a long moment, his expression unreadable. Then, with a growl of frustration, he stood up and began to dress, his movements jerky and angry.
"Fine," he snapped, his voice cold. "If that's what you want."
She watched him silently, her heart breaking at the distance in his tone. As much as she wanted to reach out to him, she knew she couldn't. Not if she wanted to salvage any semblance of a normal life.
"It is," she whispered, her voice barely audible.
“I will be alone at the cabin if you change your mind.” He nodded stiffly, zipping up his pants and grabbing his shirt. Without another word, he turned and walked towards the door, leaving her alone in the small room.
As the door clicked shut behind him, she collapsed onto the floor, her body shaking with the force of her emotions. She had made her choice, but the pain of losing him was almost more than she could bear.
But as the minutes ticked by, a new resolve began to form within her. She couldn't let guilt and fear control her life. She needed to find a way to live with the consequences of her actions, no matter how difficult they might be.
With a deep breath, she got to her feet and quickly dressed, smoothing down her crumpled skirt and wiping away the tears from her cheeks. She had a decision to make, and it wasn't going to be an easy one.
As she stepped out of the room and into the hallway, she knew that whatever path she chose, her life would never be the same again. As she walked down the hall, her steps slowing as she approached the exit, she couldn't help but wonder...’Why not go with him to his cabin, she could tell her husband it was a last minute girls get-a-way without the kids.”
???
The rain had been falling steadily all day, creating a rhythmic pattern against the cabin’s tin roof. The secluded cabin was nestled deep within a forest, its rustic charm a stark contrast to the modern world they had left behind. The air inside was thick with the scent of damp wood and the faint aroma of pine, mingling with the underlying tension that always seemed to surround them.
She stood by the window, watching the droplets slide down the glass, each one a reminder of the secrets they harbored. He walked up behind her, his presence a silent declaration of intent. His hands found her waist, pulling her back against him, their bodies fitting together as if made for this moment. She could feel the heat of him through their clothes, a sharp contrast to the cool air around them.
"Do you ever regret this?" he whispered into her ear, his breath warm against her skin.
She turned in his arms, her fingers tracing the line of his jaw. "Every time we leave," she admitted softly, her eyes searching for him. "But here, now... no."
His lips quivered into a half-smile, and he leaned down, capturing her mouth in a kiss that was both tender and possessive. She melted into him, her hands slipping under his shirt to feel the smooth muscles of his back. Their tongues danced, exploring, learning, rekindling the fire that had never truly gone out between them.
Breaking the kiss, he lifted her effortlessly, carrying her to the simple wooden bed in the corner of the room. The mattress creaked slightly as he laid her down, but neither of them cared. His hands were everywhere, impatient but careful, stripping away her clothes until she lay bare before him. She watched him undress, her breath catching at the sight of his body, lean and powerful, a testament to years of physical labor.
He reached for a condom from the nightstand, and she waited, her body humming with anticipation. Once prepared, he climbed onto the bed, positioning himself above her. Their eyes locked, a silent agreement passing between them. He entered her slowly, inch by agonizing inch, until they were fully joined. She gasped, her nails digging into his shoulders as she adjusted to his size.
"You feel so good," he murmured, his forehead resting against hers.
She nodded, unable to form words, her mind a haze of pleasure and desire. His hips began to move, setting a steady rhythm that soon quickened. Each thrust sent waves of sensation through her, building higher and higher until she thought she might explode from the pressure. He kissed her, hard, taking her moan of pleasure into his mouth, swallowing it whole.
Their movements became frantic, driven by the urgency of the moment. She wrapped her legs around his waist, urging him deeper, faster. Her climax built swiftly, crashing over her like a tidal wave. She cried out, her body convulsing around him as she came, her release tearing through her with breathtaking intensity.
He followed soon after, his own release sending shudders through his frame. He collapsed beside her, panting, sweat glistening on his skin. They lay there for a long moment, side by side, the weight of their reality pressing down on them once more.
"We can't keep doing this," she said finally, her voice raw.
He turned to face her, his eyes dark with emotion. "I know," he replied, his hand gently brushing a strand of hair from her face. "But I can't stop either."
Their gazes locked, the unspoken truth hanging heavy in the air. Neither wanted to let go, yet neither could continue down this path. The tension between them crackled, electric and dangerous.
He rolled onto his back, staring up at the ceiling. "What do we do now?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
She didn't have an answer. All she knew was that the conflict within her was growing, threatening to tear her apart. The guilt gnawed at her, but the pull of him was too strong to resist. She shifted closer, resting her head on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart.
"Maybe... maybe we just take it one day at a time," she suggested, though even she could hear the uncertainty in her voice.
He pressed a soft kiss to the top of her head. "One day at a time," he echoed, but the doubt lingered in his tone.
They lay there in silence, the rain outside continuing its relentless beat. The cabin was a sanctuary, a place where they could be free, if only for a little while. But outside those walls, the world waited, ready to judge, ready to condemn. And they both knew that their time was running out.
--
She stood by the old oak tree, its gnarled branches stretching out like twisted fingers against the twilight sky. The air was thick with the scent of rain-soaked earth and the distant promise of a storm. Her heart pounded in her chest, each beat echoing the urgency of her decision. She had to meet him one last time after his love text her, but as she looked around the secluded park, the weight of what they were about to do settled heavily on her shoulders.
Footsteps crunched on the gravel path behind her, and she turned to see him standing there, his presence both a comfort and a torment. His eyes met hers, and she felt that familiar surge of heat, the magnetic pull that had drawn them together time and time again. He wore a simple black jacket, his hair slightly tousled from the wind, and he looked at her with a mixture of longing and regret.
"I wasn't sure you'd come," he said, his voice low and hoarse.
She swallowed hard, trying to steady herself. "I almost didn't."
He took a step closer, their bodies only a breath away. "Why did you?"
She reached out, her fingers brushing against the fabric of his jacket, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath. "Because I couldn't stay away."
His hand moved to cup her cheek, his thumb tracing the curve of her lips. "We shouldn't be doing this."
"I know," she whispered, leaning into his touch. "But I need you."
The words hung in the air between them, a fragile thread holding them together. He leaned down, his lips hovering just above hers, their breaths mingling in the cool evening air. The tension was unbearable, every nerve in her body tingling with anticipation. She could feel the electric charge between them, a current that threatened to short-circuit her resolve.
With a sigh, he pressed his lips to hers, sealing their fate. The kiss was slow and deep, a silent vow of everything they wanted to say but couldn't. It was a kiss that spoke of desperation, of need, of the desperate hope that this one moment would be enough to sustain them until the end of time. Her hands found their way to his chest, gripping his jacket as if afraid he might disappear.
His hands roamed down her back, pulling her closer until there was no space left between them. She could feel the hardness of his arousal pressing against her, a physical manifestation of his desire. The sensation sent a jolt of pleasure through her, making her gasp into his mouth. He deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding past her lips to tangle with hers in a dance as old as time.
Her knees buckled slightly, and he caught her, sweeping her off her feet and carrying her to a nearby bench. He laid her down gently, his eyes never leaving hers. The world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in this small bubble of raw, unbridled emotion. He knelt over her, his weight supported on his elbows, and kissed her again, this time with a ferocity that left her breathless.
His hands slid under her sweater, lifting it up her body. She lifted her arms obediently, allowing him to strip it off and toss it aside. The cool air brushed against her bare skin, causing goosebumps to rise, but his touch quickly banished the chill. His fingers traced the contours of her waist, then moved upward to cup her breasts. She arched into his touch, craving the pressure of his palms against her aching nipples.
He obliged, squeezing gently before rolling his thumbs over the hardened peaks. A moan escaped her lips, a sound that vibrated through her entire body. He continued to caress her, alternating between gentle teasing and firm, insistent strokes. Each movement sent waves of pleasure crashing through her, pooling low in her belly.
His mouth left hers, trailing kisses down her jawline, across her throat, and finally latching onto the sensitive skin below her ear. She gasped, her head tilting back to give him better access. His teeth nipped lightly, the sensation sending a shiver down her spine. He continued his journey south, his lips moving lower, stopping just short of her breasts.
"Please," she begged, her voice trembling with need.
He responded by taking a nipple into his mouth, suckling gently at first before increasing the pressure. Her back arched, her hips rising off the bench in an instinctive response to the sensation. Her fingers tangled in his hair, urging him on, demanding more. The combination of his mouth and hands working in tandem was driving her wild, pushing her closer and closer to the edge.
Her other nipple cried out for attention, and he switched to it, using his free hand to continue manipulating the first. The dual stimulation was too much, and she felt herself teetering on the brink of orgasm. Her breath came in ragged gasps, her body trembling with the force of her impending release.
"I can't... I can't hold on," she panted, her voice barely audible.
He pulled back, his eyes dark with desire. "Let go," he murmured, his voice a low, seductive growl.
Those two words shattered the dam, and she erupted, her body convulsing with ecstasy. She screamed his name, her voice echoing in the still night air. He watched her intently, his own arousal evident in the tightness of his jaw and the bulge in his jeans. As her climax subsided, she lay back on the bench, her chest heaving, her eyes closed in blissful exhaustion.
He leaned down, capturing her lips in a searing kiss. His tongue explored her mouth, tasting her, claiming her. His hands moved down her body, skimming over her hips and dipping into the waistband of her pants. She gasped as he freed her from the confines of her clothing, his fingers finding the damp, swollen folds of her pussy.
Her eyes fluttered open, meeting his gaze. "Do you have protection?" she asked, her voice shaky.
He nodded, reaching into his pocket and pulled out a condom as they fastly undressed. With deft fingers, he rolled it on, then positioned himself at her entrance. She spread her legs wider, inviting him in, her body already anticipating the feel of him inside her.
He pushed forward slowly, inch by agonizing inch, until he was fully seated within her. They both let out a shuddering breath, the sensation overwhelming in its intensity. She wrapped her legs around his waist, locking him in place. Their eyes locked, and the silence between them was filled with unspoken promises, both beautiful and tragic.
"I love you," he whispered, his voice breaking.
"I..." she began, tears stinging her eyes.
"Shh," he hushed, kissing her softly. "Just feel me."
And so she did, giving herself over to the sensations washing over her. He started to move, his thrusts slow and deliberate, each one a testament to their shared passion. The friction built quickly, their bodies synchronized in a rhythm as old as time itself. Her nails dug into his back, marking him, holding onto him as if he were the anchor to her stormy sea.
His pace quickened, and she matched him thrust for thrust, their bodies slamming together with bruising force. The sound of flesh meeting flesh mixed with their heavy breathing, creating a symphony of primal need. He groaned, his voice vibrating through her as he lost control, his thrusts becoming frantic, desperate.
She clung to him, her body tightening around him as she approached another peak. The world narrowed down to just the two of them, the rest of the universe ceasing to exist. Her vision blurred with tears, her heart pounding in her ears, drowning out all rational thought. All that mattered was him, right here, right now.
"Cum with me," he urged, his voice strained.
She nodded, unable to speak, her body already spiraling out of control. With one final, powerful thrust, they both shattered, their cries of release mingling in the night air. He collapsed on top of her, his weight pinning her to the bench, but she didn’t mind. She wrapped her arms around him, holding him close, savoring these final moments of stolen intimacy.
As their breathing slowed, reality began to creep back in. He lifted himself off her, disposing of the condom with practiced care. She sat up, pulling her clothes back on, the cold evening air chilling her skin once more. They sat side by side on the bench, neither daring to look at the other.
Finally, he broke the silence. "This is it, isn't it?"
She nodded, biting her lip to keep the tears at bay. "Yes."
He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's for the best."
"Yeah," she agreed, her voice barely above a whisper. "It has to be."
They stood, facing each other one last time. The distance between them was palpable, the chasm of what could never be widening with each passing second. He reached out, his fingers brushing against hers, a fleeting touch that held all the tenderness and sorrow of their secret love.
"Goodbye," he said, his voice thick with unshed tears.
"Goodbye the love of my life, my soulmate," she echoed, her voice breaking.
And with that, he turned and walked away, leaving her standing alone in the shadows of the park with a broken heart, wanting to die because she also lost a part of her soul...
