Rejected and in Heat

Guilty Conscience

Josh went to the bathroom and took a cold shower in an attempt to relieve himself of his throbbing erection. He had been in an almost constant state of arousal all morning. The cold water poured down his black hair and muscular chest but didn’t help his aching. He closed his deep blue eyes and tried to imagine Cathy sucking his d**k. He loved how she ran her tongue in circles around the head before she swallowed him completely. He began stroking himself, searching for his release. Without trying, images of his long-legged blond girlfriend had been replaced with the dark-haired Maya. He groaned and stroked harder at the thought of her petite naked body kneeling in front of him, her brown eyes staring into his as he f****d her pretty little mouth.

Maya sat by the pool for a while but didn’t feel like swimming. She tried reading but couldn’t get into the book. She was too focused on getting through this weekend and even more worried about how she would get through all the other ones on her own. Maybe she was going about this wrong and should be alone so she would know precisely how bad it could get. Shrugging off that thought, she decided to play video games in the pool house. She didn’t even notice how long she had been there when her body suddenly felt sweaty and hot. She wasn’t feeling too uncomfortable, so she decided to go for a run. Maybe the exercise would wear her body out and help her avoid some of the heat symptoms. Maya quickly changed into a pair of pink running shorts and tennis shoes. She left her bathing suit in the pool house and grabbed her earbuds. Perhaps a long run would work. She set off towards the tree line, hot and tingling but optimistic that the exertion would help.

Josh was busy typing when his phone finally rang. He smiled when Cathy’s image appeared on his screen and was surprised to see how late it was. He had been at his computer for 3 hours. “Hey, babe.” He answered the phone, pushed his chair back from the desk, and turned slightly to face his bedroom door. He needed to rest his eyes from staring at the screen. “Yes, I got your text earlier; I just got so busy working on this paper that I forgot everything else. Yeah, I know. I haven’t taken a break in hours. I’m glad you called. What a perfect distraction.” He listened as she told him all about her lunch with her dad and her new stepmom. This was her dad’s 3rd marriage, and who knew how many slutty, money-hungry girlfriends he had in between.

Cathy was disgusted by them all, but she loved her dad, so she tried hard to act politely around them. “This one was named Candy. Can you believe it? Who names their kid Candy?” Josh laughed, thinking about his friend with the same name and listening to her drone on about her day. It felt good to hear from her. It cleared his head from the intensity of Maya and her heat. This is why he liked dating humans. Life was slightly simpler for them, making relationships somewhat easier. She had just launched into a detailed description of their shopping trip when Maya quietly stepped into his room. She placed her finger to her puckered lips, making a shushing motion. He nodded, keeping quiet and listening to Cathy; all the while, his eyes roamed her body in curiosity.

She was dripping sweat, and he assumed she had been running by how she was dressed. Her long hair was pulled into a high ponytail, and she carried her running shoes in one hand. Maya dropped them onto his bedroom floor and took a few steps to stand before him. Their legs brushed each other as she pulled her crop top over her head, revealing the lace bra she had underneath. Forgetting that he was on the phone, his mind wandered to the memory of those breasts in his hands this afternoon. His d**k immediately stood at attention. He drew in a slow breath, enjoying the smell of her heat. He should have told her she smelled sweet with a hint of muskiness. It reminded him of magnolias. While every woman had a scent, each was slightly different. Hers was driving him crazy; he could only imagine what it would have done to her destined mate. Hell, even her chosen mate would react strongly once they both accepted and even more should they choose to mark each other.

“Hey, are you still there? Babe? Are you listening?” Cathy’s voice snapped him out of the thoughts racing so quickly through his mind. Maya was still standing in her bra, with a pinched expression on her pretty face. Josh stuttered a little, “Oh yeah, sorry. I guess I’m more tired than I thought. What were you saying?” He tried to pay attention as Cathy continued re-accounting her day. He leaned back in his desk chair, trying to make some space between himself and Maya, hoping that would help him stay focused on his girlfriend and not the half-naked minx in front of him. That thought was shattered as she climbed onto his lap, straddling him. Her hair fell down her back, brushing her hips, and her breasts sat at eye level. Her added weight caused the chair to sway back and forth, so he grabbed her waist. He planted his feet on the floor to steady them in the rolling chair. To do this in the reclining position, he had to push his legs open wide and Maya further onto his lap. He pressed his lips together and slowly counted to ten as he felt her hot core centered on his member.

Heat radiated from her body, and she buried her head in his neck, scenting him. Since he only dated humans, no one had ever done that before, and it was sexy as hell. She sat there with her skin pressed against his, breathing in his scent as he stroked her back as if he were soothing a child. Cathy had much to talk about, and he tried to pay attention. He felt a little guilty hearing her happy voice, utterly ignorant that he had another woman in his arms.

Maya never made a sound as Josh held her. She knew she was pushing boundaries, but her mind and body felt so broken, and he was her only source of comfort. This moment wasn’t necessarily s****l and wasn’t part of their agreement, so she was happy when he didn’t push her away. His cool skin felt good against her hot body, and in a little corner of her mind, she allowed herself to pretend they were more than friends. She allowed her eyes to glaze over and stare into nothing as her mind took over again. She didn’t even notice when Josh finished his call. He just continued to hold her and caress her back.

After what felt like an eternity, Maya snapped out of her daydreaming and pulled back. She looked at his face, and for the briefest moment, she saw a little frown line between his brows. Something was bothering him. Surely, it wasn’t something Cathy had said in their boring conversation, which meant it probably revolved around her. She took that as her signal to give him space and stood up from his lap. “Josh, I’m going to go make dinner. You can join me if you want.”
