Chapter 10 #2
“I am,” I responded, with a certain shyness.
“Sex with you was amazing. I wanted you so much.” He caressed one of my cheeks with his hand and looked at me with an intensity that made me feel like I was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, which he confirmed with his words.
“You are the most beautiful and sensual woman I have ever seen in my life.”
I looked at him surprised. This man had been married, so I assumed he had been in love with his wife, which is why his comment had left me perplexed.
He must say that to all the women he sleeps with, I told myself, trying to understand what I had heard.
“I also think it was amazing.”
William withdrew from me, removed the condom, and sat on the bed, resting his back against the headboard.
At that moment, I didn’t know what to do; after the passionate moment, my brain was unblocking and beginning to question how to treat him.
We barely knew each other! I had only had sex with Lino, and at that moment I felt ashamed.
“Would you like to see each other again?” he asked, looking at me cautiously.
I sat up in bed, stood up and went for my robe. If we were going to have that conversation, I preferred to be dressed. He followed my every move without losing sight of me and without saying anything. When I tied the belt, I returned to the bed and sat on the edge, facing him.
“What are you proposing?” I asked, looking into his eyes.
“Do you feel the same way I do? Because I can’t contain myself when I’m around you. Never in my life have I done so many crazy things at once, just to see you, hear you, and have you near me.”
“So many crazy things?” I asked, confused.
“Personally bringing you the phone in the middle of the night, following you last night in my car, asking you for a dance even though you were dancing with someone else, and coming here after the party to wait for you to arrive. All those crazy things,” he confessed, leaving me completely perplexed.
He had been waiting for me? That really surprised me. Since he had been honest, I decided to be honest too, but perhaps not quite as much.
“I desire you, but I think you already know that,” I said with conviction, and he nodded.
“I don’t offer emotional relationships, yes a relationship, but leaving feelings aside.
Emotions have to stay out of it. I offer something very clear, a relationship between lovers with no expectations, the only thing we need to worry about is sex and pleasure, and I’ll make sure of yours, you can count on that.
But you should know that I’m a very passionate man and I need to satisfy myself frequently, especially now that I’ve met you because just thinking about you keeps me aroused all the time. ”
Everything he was telling me seemed incredible. I would never have imagined that I could provoke all those emotions and reactions in him.
“I have a complicated life, William. My work hours are long and...”
“We can take advantage of free time, I can assure you of that. I also have a complicated life, and not just in the professional realm, but you can always find time to experience this sublime pleasure we just felt.”
I sighed and looked at him cautiously. Being with him again was something that excited me tremendously.
What he was offering wasn’t far from what I was looking for; in my case, I wasn’t willing to experience another romantic disappointment and I was clear that I didn’t want to be in a relationship.
What was the point of going through all that dating stuff or whatever you call a formal relationship, if I couldn’t offer to form a family?
I was only willing to have romantic adventures, and that’s what William Cavaller was offering me. Why not?
“You’re thinking about it too much and that’s destroying my ego.”
“You don’t seem like a person with a weak ego,” I said, smiling, because it was obvious that this man was overwhelming.
“I’m not, that’s true. Well?”
“I accept your proposal.”
A genuine smile appeared on his lips.
“This is going to be fun and, above all, pleasurable,” he said, lowering my robe so that one of my shoulders was exposed and placing a burning kiss on it.
“We’ll have a romantic affair where feelings aren’t involved. Falling in love is forbidden,” I said, although his kisses were already affecting me and I couldn’t think very clearly.
William raised his head and looked at me.
“I can handle that because it’s what I’m looking for. I’m clear about what I want and what I expect from you, and I hope you are too,” he stated, looking at me seriously.
“I don’t want anything to do with love. Is that enough for you?”
“It is, but may I know why?” he asked, very curiously.
“Divorce.”
“You’re divorced?” he asked, with surprise reflected on his attractive face.
“Why are you so surprised?” I inquired, because I really didn’t understand his astonishment; after all, for better or worse, divorce rates were quite significant.
“I simply couldn’t imagine you married.”
“I was married for 5 years. I got married very young,” I commented, but I had started to tense up because I didn’t like talking about that topic, especially with him.
“How old are you?” And it was the second time he had asked, though this time I intended to answer.
“29 years old, and you?”
“I’m 39,” he said, and I noticed that he kept looking at me as if expecting a comment from me, but I wasn’t surprised because it was the age I had assumed he would be. “I suppose if marriage made you run away from love, you must not have had a good experience.”
“My marriage ended in divorce, that says a lot already.”
“A divorce doesn’t always cause rejection of that feeling, and besides, you’re very young.”
“I’ll just say that disappointment hurts and you don’t want to feel that way again, therefore, I’m not going to go through that thing called love again and much less through a marriage, but if you don’t mind, I’d prefer not to keep talking about it,” I requested, because I wasn’t willing to say anything more.
“Of course I don’t mind, on the contrary, because I have in mind doing something much more fun.”
He pulled me so that I fell into his arms and kissed me. His tongue claimed every corner of my mouth while his hands caressed my back and tugged at my robe to leave me naked again. All my senses surrendered to him.
In a matter of seconds, he had laid back down and I was on top of his body.
“Straddle me, ‘Sweet.’”
I straightened my back and sat on his hips, feeling his erection pressing against my most erotic and sensitive spot.
“You really drive me crazy with desire. I don’t know what you do to me, but this excitement I feel has me bewildered.”
From the nightstand he took another condom; I hadn’t even noticed he’d left them there.
“Put it on me,” he demanded gently, handing it to me.
I did as he asked and, once it was in place, he took my hands to help me rise up and then slowly guided me down to allow him to penetrate me.
When my buttocks made contact with his hips and he was completely buried inside me, we both gasped and tilted our heads back.
I adjusted to his body and my hands sought his chest for support as I began to move as my body and his demanded.
William grabbed my buttocks to set the rhythm and take control.
His body moved frenetically and our gasps became increasingly louder and more frequent.
With a growl, he sat up, embracing me and seeking my mouth while his hips continued moving.
My arms wrapped around his neck as I began to move faster, seeking that release that was about to come as the waves grew stronger and my muscles began to tense painfully.
Suddenly he looked at me seriously and with a couple more thrusts, we both reached orgasm simultaneously.
It was wonderful. William hugged me tightly and then fell back onto the mattress, pulling me with him and making me rest my head on his chest.
“You’re incredible, ‘Sweet.’”
“You are too,” I said, almost breathless and somewhat dazed.
When our breathing calmed down, I felt his hand on my chin lifting my face so he could look into my eyes.
“With you I face a huge dilemma,” he said.
“What’s wrong?”
“I know my daughter is very fond of you and that you’ve done her a lot of good, so I don’t want this to influence the relationship you have with Aurora, but...”
“This?” I asked, because even though I knew it was just a fling, I still didn’t like how it sounded.
“I mean the relationship we’re going to have, let’s say something like a friendship with sex included. The thing is, I never allow the women I’m involved with to get close to Aurora. I don’t want them to hurt her or use her to get to me.”
“I would never do that,” I stated, looking at him with a frown because it bothered me that he would think that of me.
“Believe me, there are people who would.”
“Play with a little girl’s feelings? Only someone heartless would do that.”
“Exactly, and I assume you understand that such people exist,” he said, looking at me cautiously.
“I suppose so,” I affirmed, because the truth was that I had encountered several such people—my mother and sister were clear examples, and even Lino could fall into that category.
“I’m aware that when we decide to end this relationship, there will be awkwardness that will make you distance yourself from her.”
“I understand,” I said, not knowing what else to say, because as much as he was right, it was already done and we couldn’t pretend nothing had happened.
“I also wouldn’t want Aurora to see us as if we were a couple; she might get the wrong idea that could confuse and hurt her.”
“I agree, and I think we only have two options: either I stop seeing her, or I meet with her without your presence. Perhaps it’s best if Alba brings her here or we meet at a park.”
“Having you two stop seeing each other makes me feel selfish. I couldn’t do that to my daughter,” he said, concerned.
