Ethereal Bonds

Chapter 4

We all sat at the dining table, one seat empty beside me. Daniel walked towards me and sat right next to me. I could feel the s****l tension between us; I didn't even dare to look at him. I started serving food onto my plate, and suddenly felt a hand go up my thigh. I was wearing a short skirt, for easy access, of course. I wanted him so badly, and just when I thought it couldn’t get any more intense, his hand crept further up to find that I was not wearing anything beneath my skirt. When he started touching me, I was already wet. He easily slid his fingers inside, and two of them filled me. I almost let out a moan.

I bit my lip hard to stifle any sound, my heart racing as I tried to focus on the conversation around me. Alyssa and Ethan were chatting happily, oblivious to what was happening under the table. Daniel's fingers moved with a deliberate, torturous rhythm, making it harder and harder for me to maintain my composure.

I reached for my glass of water, taking a long sip to try to distract myself from the mounting pleasure. Daniel leaned in slightly, his breath warm against my ear as he whispered, "Stay quiet, or they'll know."

His words sent a shiver down my spine, only heightening my arousal. I gripped the edge of the table, my knuckles turning white as I fought to keep my breathing steady. The pressure inside me was building, a tight coil of need that begged for release. I glanced around, praying that no one would notice the flush spreading across my cheeks or the way my body trembled.

Finally, just as I thought I couldn't hold back any longer, Daniel withdrew his hand, leaving me on the brink of climax. I shot him a frustrated look, but he only smirked, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Ethan turned to me, completely unaware. "Mady, could you pass the salt, please?"

I nodded, forcing a smile as I handed it to him. My body was still humming with unfulfilled desire, but I couldn't let it show. Daniel's touch had left me craving more, and I knew that if I wanted to satisfy that need, I would have to play his game.

As lunch continued, I struggled to concentrate, my mind replaying the sensation of his fingers inside me. Daniel acted as if nothing had happened, joining in the conversation with ease. I envied his ability to switch between these roles so effortlessly.

When the meal finally ended, I excused myself, needing a moment alone to collect my thoughts. I headed to the bathroom, closing the door behind me and leaning against it with a shaky breath. My reflection in the mirror showed flushed cheeks and wide eyes, a clear indicator of the storm brewing inside me.

I knew I had to confront Daniel, to make sense of this twisted game we were playing. But for now, I needed to regain my composure and face the rest of the day with a semblance of normalcy. Taking a deep breath, I splashed cold water on my face and straightened my skirt.

As I stepped back into the hall, I saw Daniel watching me from the doorway, a knowing smile playing on his lips. My resolve wavered, but I squared my shoulders and walked past him, determined to regain control—at least for the time being.

But he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the storage closet. He kneeled down, taking my right leg and placing it over his shoulder. I gasped, finally. I moved myself closer to his mouth, and he went all in. His tongue delved deep inside me, and I moaned softly, the pleasure overwhelming. He held my tush for support, his grip firm and possessive.

I couldn't hold back any longer; the intense sensations sent me over the edge. I finished immediately, in his mouth. He stood up, his lips glistening, and kissed me, making me taste myself in his mouth, igniting my desire even more.

"I've had my dessert." he whispered, his eyes dark and full of lust. He opened the storage closet and left me inside alone with my thoughts. I felt fulfilled, yet a part of me ached for more of his touch, more of this dangerous game we were playing.

As I leaned against the wall, catching my breath, I realized that I was deeply entangled in his web. The raw pleasure and intensity he brought out in me were unlike anything I had ever experienced. The line between pain and pleasure, want and need, was blurring, and I knew this was far from over.

I straightened my skirt and took a deep breath, trying to compose myself before stepping out of the closet. The hallway was quiet, and I made my way back to the dining room, where Alyssa and Ethan were still engrossed in their conversation.

Ethan looked up as I entered. "Everything okay, Mady?"

"Yeah, just needed a moment." I replied, forcing a smile.

Daniel was nowhere to be seen, but I could still feel the lingering heat of his touch. I joined Alyssa and Ethan, trying to act normal despite the tumultuous emotions swirling inside me. This was just the beginning, and I was ready for whatever came next.

Grandma brought in Alyssa's apple pie and served us all a big piece of it. Seems like Daniel didn't want to stay for the pie as he already got his dessert. Ethan mentions of plans to marry Alyssa after college, but they have only been dating for a few months. Maybe it will all make sense when I find my person. I just only wished it was Daniel, my first.

"Kids, we have a festival coming up tomorrow. Live country music, and games and there will be kids your age. What do you say?" Grandpa asked, he looked really excited.

"I'll be there!" I said looking over at Alyssa.

"Yes! Let's go shopping!" Alyssa said with so much excitement.

"I guess we are going. I'll speak to Daniel." Ethan said as he got up and left the dining room.

While we were shopping, I decided to come clean about Daniel to Alyssa. She is my best friend, and I just lost my virginity. I needed to tell her.

"Alyssa."

"I uh...I had s*x"

"WHAT?"

"Don't scream." I shushed her dragging her away from prying eyes.

"When was this? Who was it? Tell me now!"

"Um... It was today."

Alyssa gave me a confused look, I now she is trying to figure out who and she just did. Her eyes widened and she shouted again, "Daniel?"

I bit my lip and nodded, "Yeah, so that happened."

"Oh my gosh, Mady." Worry was all over her face. "Please tell me he wore a condom."

"No, he came inside me." I said, now that I'm reliving it in my head, that was a silly silly mistake. I should know better.

"f**k dude, we need to get you on the pills."

"Shit."

"But are you sure this is what's best for you?"

-

Alyssa dropped me off at my grandparents' house, and I spotted Daniel in the distance near the barn. I decided to go talk to him about us. As I got closer, I noticed he was on a phone call. I walked slowly, hoping he wouldn’t hear me.

"For a few weeks at least. I'll be coming back home to see family and then heading off to college again." Daniel said, nodding as he spoke on the phone.

"Come on, baby girl. Yeah, yeah. I miss you too." What the actual... It sounds like he’s talking to a girlfriend! But he doesn’t do girlfriends!

"Okay, I'll talk to you later. Love you too." Love? LOVE? Did he just say he loves her? He was just being intimate with me! I crossed my arms, fuming. As he finished the call and turned around, he saw me standing a few feet away. He didn’t look shocked, almost as if he didn’t care.

"What's up, Mady?" He approached me, grabbed my hand tightly, and pulled me closer. "Were you eavesdropping, little one?"
