Chapter thirty
I parked in front of the school and walked to the gate where the children were leaving with their parents.
“Hello, Mr. Lennox!” The woman at the door turned to me as if we were old friends.
“Hi,” I replied without the same enthusiasm.
“I'll call them.”
“Okay.”
I was wondering if I would have to wait long for Helena to leave, but a huge smile formed on my lips when I saw her escorting my daughters to the school gate. The twins were jumping up and down, as happy as I'd seen them in a long time.
At that moment, I realized that it wasn't just myself that I was isolating by depriving myself of deeper involvement with other women. I always did my best for my daughters, but it was clear that I had a void that I would never be able to fill.
“Daddy!” They came running and hugged my waist.
“How are my princesses?” I bent down to kiss each of them on the forehead.
“Good.” Anne shook her head; Mary didn't even answer, coming straight out with another question that must have been the reason for her anxiety.
“Is Helena going with us today?”
I stood up, facing the teacher, who gave me a broad smile of assent.
“Yes, she's going with us.”
“Yay!” The girls celebrated by jumping up and down.
I leaned towards Helena and wanted to kiss her, but before I could, she shook her head no and dodged me.
“Not here.”
“Okay.” I was a little embarrassed, but I understood his reasons for not insisting.
I led them to my car, and we settled the twins in their car seats until Helena sat in the back seat.
“I told the principal,” he said as I started the car and drove to my apartment.
“About us?” I thought.
“Yes.”
“What did she say?” I was curious.
“That it's okay as long as we're discreet.”
“That's good, isn't it?”
“That's great.” She leaned over and smiled at me. “I was afraid that she might end up reprimanding me in some way because of my relationship with the student's father.”
“She couldn't forbid us.”
“You don't know.”
“I'd find a way.” I winked at her.
“No lawyer stuff, please.”
“I didn't say anything.” I played dumb.
“But I thought.”
I shrugged, and Helena smiled even more. She was beautiful, but her beauty intensified when she looked happy.
I didn't even remember what it was like to notice a woman like that and let myself be charmed by little things.
I parked in the garage, and Helena helped me get the girls out of the car. We took the elevator up to the penthouse.
It was difficult to have a moment alone with my girlfriend because the twins were always around. They had spent the whole day with Helena, but it didn't seem to be enough. I would have to find a balance, but at another time, not that one.
When nine o'clock came around, the time I put them to bed, I took Anne into the bedroom on my lap, and Mary dragged Helena out so that she could come with us.
We put the girls to bed and covered them up. Mary asked for a story, which Helena read until the girls fell asleep.
We said goodbye with a kiss on the top of the head, and it was my turn to drag the little teacher to my room. I couldn't wait for us to have an adult conversation.
“Alone at last.” I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her to me, and Helena sighed as I grazed my goatee across the sensitive skin of her neck.
“Thomas...” He squeezed my shoulders, twisting my dress shirt over his fingers as I nibbled my way down his neck to his chin.
“I was dying to do that all night.”
“Not in front of the girls.”
“That's all I waited for.”
I brought her onto the bed with me and laid her down in the middle of the mattress with my legs around hers. My mouth sought hers, enjoying the taste of her lips while my hands explored her contours. She let out a muffled cry when I squeezed her waist and bit her neck.
Helena had showered and was wearing pajamas that were too discreet for my liking, but I could understand her choices. My eyes weren't the only ones weighing her down that night. Fortunately, my daughters were in bed, and I could get them out.
I slipped my hand inside her blouse, working my way around until I found her bra. I slipped my fingers under the rim of the bra, and she let out a muffled moan when my fingers finally found her nipples.
“I want to kiss you all over.” I bit her ear, making her shudder as I pulled up her blouse, and she let me take it off without any protest.
“Oh, kiss me!” She gasped, surrendering completely to my advances.
I threw my blouse on the bed next to us and pulled down the straps of my bra, licking one of the nipples that had escaped. My mouth was salivating, eager to taste every part of her.
My cock was throbbing frantically in my pants, eager to be inside her. I was eager to taste that wet vagina once more.
I ran my teeth along the valley between my breasts, about to get rid of my bra once and for all, but before I could, I heard a faint knock on the door.
“Dad, Helena?”
“What could have happened?” I asked, a little irritated.
“I don't know.” Helena hurriedly picked up her blouse and put it back on before getting up to open the door.
Before my daughters came in, I tried to pull myself together, and I didn't usually get a hard-on at home except when I could be strictly alone in the bathroom and relieve myself with a handjob.
“What is it, girls?” Helena watched them standing at the bedroom door.
“Can we stay here?” Anne asked in a sly voice to convince us.
Helena looked at me, and I had no choice but to nod.
“Come on, girls.”
“Wow!”
They entered the room like two small hurricanes and took over the bed, putting an end to my noble intention of a happy night with my girlfriend.
