Bound To you

Chapter 15

The next morning, once again, ELI went to school in a wonderful mood. She was feeling so happy that she had spent a bit of the night with her girlfriend. Just by remembering what they had done last night, she felt goosebumps all over her body with even more desire for Rika.

Before entering class, she grabbed her phone to text her favourite teacher. She typed, feeling her cheeks forming a smug smile:

Thinking about you.

While she picked the English book in her locker, she felt her phone buzz with a new text:

It’s time for class, Miss Swan. Focus on your studies.

ELI frowned because she surely expected something as cute as what she had typed. A minute later though, her phone buzzed again:

I’m thinking about you too.

A grin broke on her face, her heart getting warm at the words. God, this woman was amazing!

“Texting the girlfriend, I assume,” Ruby suddenly said beside her, startling the blonde.

“Shut up,” she mutters under her breath, her grin disappearing to pretend she wasn’t caught smiling like a fool. Or like a teenager, like Rika would say.

“Let’s go, you fool in love!” Ruby teases as they start walking towards the English hall, catching Killian on the way.

The classes dragged by as slowly as ever, tiring ELI’s brain to the highest level, but she tried to remain focused at all times because now she was more responsible and that’s because of Rika she wanted to always be the best for Rika.

By the last period, she walked in history class unable to contain her smile when she saw Rika typing quietly on her computer, black-rimmed glasses on. She didn’t look up at ELI, but she didn’t need to. ELI still felt amazingly good because of everything that had been happening between them behind closed doors.

When Rika started the lesson, ELI leaned her face on her hand as she watched with great admiration her favourite teacher teach flawlessly, making everyone understand the topics seamlessly and with open wisdom. Rika was so passionate about history, her enthusiasm affecting the whole class causing most of her students to learn more than they did in any of the other classes. Well, that’s how ELI felt anyway. If this was true for the others she couldn’t truly say, but she loved how much she learned in her girlfriend’s class.

As usual, they didn’t talk or looked too much in the other’s direction after the class was over, just to keep things at bay and secretive. Even though ELI was dying to visit Rika’s house again, she actually preferred to go to the mall with Ruby and Killian after receiving their invite. It had been a while since she had hung out with her best friends.

After they had walked at least the whole mall with Killian complaining incessantly about having to hold their shopping bags, they finally left. ELI surprised her friends and even herself when she realized how many clothes, perfume, and lotions she had bought for herself. Well, now she had substantial reasons to buy these things because she was dating the most elegant woman she had ever met. It’s essential to entice and impress her stunning girlfriend.

When at home, ELI happily put away her new clothes and products. She decided to do her homework right after so that when she finished, she could go to Rika's house. ELI couldn't deny that she was dying to kiss those full lips again…

xXx

By 5:30, ELI was knocking on Rika’s door, feeling butterflies flutter in her stomach.   She hadn’t texted the brunette prior to her visit and that, somehow, exhilarated her even more. Hopefully, the brunette wouldn’t be busy and would let ELI in so they could spend some quality time together. Bouncing on her feet, ELI’s mind had been on a whirlwind lately: she had been thinking a lot about how her life had changed in a way she never imagined. She also realized that each day she seemed to feel more attached to Rika; more attached to her in a way she did not know if she might ever be able to escape. This strong sentiment scared her a little bit, but maybe that’s what true love felt like.

Oh, my God. She literally couldn't believe she was saying it was true love. She didn't even believe in such a thing before she met Rika. But it probably explained the butterflies in her stomach and her heart beating loudly when she saw her teacher. It felt like she was falling in love with Rika every day, all over again. 

The door suddenly opened, revealing the gorgeous brunette who ELI had the pleasure to call her girlfriend.

“Hey,” she greeted with a bright smile, silently telling the stupid butterflies in her stomach to go away. This exhilaration would probably never go away.

“Oh, hello, Miss Swan,” Rika greeted back, looking slightly surprised to see ELI there on her front porch. “I’m having a déjà vu right now,” she said, squinting her beautiful brown eyes at the blonde.

“Yeah? What kind of déjà vu?” ELI asked, walking inside the warm house as Rika gave her passage through the door.

“You coming here every day for whatever reason you could find.”

ELI grinned dumbly at her girlfriend, hastily approaching the woman she so desired to kiss and touch again. She cradled Rika’s face in her hands to caress her cheeks. “Yeah, well, some things will never change, right?”

The brunette mimicked her smile and said, “Right.”

ELI joined their lips in a passionate kiss, her tongue sweeping inside Rika’s warm mouth, tasting her like she always did. Her hands slid down her body, finding her voluptuous bottom she so desired to touch again. ELI groped Rika’s ass, bringing the brunette’s body flush against hers in that delicious way that caused them both to whimper.

But as soon as it had started, it ended by Rika breaking the kiss and pushing ELI’s hand away from her bottom.

“You’re always so naughty, Miss Swan,” Rika said in a provoking tone, smirking at her student as she turned her back on her and walked towards the kitchen.

ELI stood there for a few seconds, taking a breath as she tried to suppress the arousal she started feeling after the amazing kiss. Rika had such a strong power of her body; one that she would never be able to explain.

Like a puppy, she followed Rika into the kitchen, realizing the brunette was mixing something in a bowl with a spoon. She approached the teacher by the counter and embraced her from behind, feeling that great ass touch the front of her jeans. Well, if that wasn’t enough to arouse her even more…

“I can't stop being naughty around you,” she murmured against the shell of Rika’s ear, realizing goosebumps were appearing on olive skin. But Rika stayed quiet while kept mixing some kind of dough in the bowl. That gave ELI encouragement to continue, “But if I'm naughty, what are you?”

“I am certainly not naughty. You’re the one who has teenage hormones,” Rika teased, causing ELI to chuckle. “I am just a composed woman and a renowned teacher.”

“Right,” the blonde agreed with a smile, eyeing the brunette’s profile for a moment. “So, what would a teacher do if her naughty student did something bad?” ELI asked, her voice low and teasing. 

Rika turned to face her, her eyes narrowing as if she was waiting for ELI to do something mischievous. The blonde smiled at her teacher, leaning in to bite her earlobe while she grasped Rika’s hand that was around the wooden spoon, dipped into the dough inside the bowl to then bring it into her own mouth, sucking the dough clean off of the brunette’s finger slowly. The teacher stared at her open-mouthed, desire alight in her eyes. 

“ELI…” she muttered, her eyes unable to look away from ELI’s finger.

“What? Am I being too naughty?” She provoked after letting go of Rika’s tasty finger. That dough was really good.

“You are,” Rika agreed, and suddenly drove those mischievous lips to her own. She kissed her hard, sticking her tongue inside the blonde's mouth and allowed themselves to taste each other’s lips once more. She bit ELI’s lower lip teasingly, pulling blonde hair to the side so the girl’s neck would be exposed. Rika smirked one last time at ELI before diving in to attack her neck, her teeth and lips biting the flesh, arousing ELI even more. She gasped and whimpered like the melted mess she had become for Rika, grasping tightly onto the brunette’s waist to encourage her. Rika bit harder on her neck, obviously trying to mark the white skin, and then used her tongue to relieve the pain a little.

ELI moaned in protest when Rika pulled away. “You just gave me a hickey, didn’t you?” She asked, touching the bruised skin of her neck carefully.

“Maybe,” Rika replied, turning to the counter and bumping her ass against ELI’s front, causing the latter to step away from her a few inches.

“You are so naughty, Rika!” ELI exclaimed with a smirk.

“No, I’m not,” the brunette replied, moving away from ELI to pour the dough inside a cake pan. 

ELI watched her silently, with her arms crossed over her chest and a dumb smile on her face. She couldn’t wait until Rika finished whatever she was doing to finally grant the blonde her full attention.

The teacher placed the cake pan into the heated oven and closed it quickly. “Okay, I'm done baking now,” Rika said, flashing ELI a sly smile to then walk away from the kitchen in a swift movement.

“Where are you going?” ELI followed her, mumbling curiously.

“I’m going to my bedroom to chill out while the cake is in the oven,” Rika said as she went up the stairs, the blonde following her quickly.

“Oh, chill out, huh? I like the sound of that.” ELI was smirking so hard behind Rika’s back. She couldn’t wait to-

“Miss Swan, are you aware of what the expression chill out means?” The brunette turned to stare her down with her arms crossed over her chest when they got to the neat bedroom.

ELI rolled her eyes, approaching her teacher to uncross her arms. “Of course, Rika. Just like Netflix and chill, right?” 

“No, that’s your horny mind talking.”

The blonde shook her head, realizing Rika was squinting her eyes at her. “I think you're just messing with me and claiming you're going to chill so I can go with you and we can have amazing s*x?” She guessed, pulling Rika’s body against hers softly and leaning to kiss the warm neck.

“No, ELI — no s*x. Just chilling,” the brunette stated firmly, pulling away from ELI to enter her closet.

Instead of following her, ELI let her body fall in the middle of the bed lazily as she waited for her girlfriend to come back. Well, maybe chilling out with Rika in her bed would lead to s*x eventually. She just knew that she had to go by Rika’s rules, no matter what, even if she yearned to provoke the brunette a little more.

When Rika came back from the closet, she was wearing a silky crimson camisole that its length ended just an inch above her knee. The view of the brunette’s beautiful body encased in that sexy piece was causing somersaults in ELI’s stomach. So much to avoid the dirty thoughts and Rika appears dressed like that…

ELI was rather surprised when Rika straddled her on the bed and held her arms over her head swiftly. Her voluptuous chest was almost touching ELI’s, and her lips, well, they were only a breath away from hers; it was so easy to just close this unnecessary distance between them. God, what was Rika up to?

“Why are you wearing boots on my carpet, Miss Swan? Take them off,” the brunette urged, her voice harsher than usual.

“f**k,” she muttered incoherently, feeling arousal pool between her legs as she enjoyed the feeling of Rika hovering over her so sexily.

“f**k? You have some dirty thoughts in that mind of yours, don’t you, Miss Swan?”

She shivered as Rika made the slowest movement of her body against hers, and she could feel the hard n*****s brushing against her bra. Holy s**t.

“You see how terrible you are?” Rika started murmuring in her ear, her hot breath tickling ELI’s skin. “All you can think about is s*x, like a horny teenage boy, Miss Swan.”

ELI swallowed, feeling a bit offended among all the arousal in her weak body. “I… you make me feel this way, Rika.”

The brunette chuckled throatily against ELI’s ear, then gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

“Take off your boots, then lay down with me,” she commanded, pulling her body away from ELI’s to lay under the fluffy, expensive covers.

The blonde sprung into action, taking off her boots and placing it as quietly as she could outside the bedroom in the hallway. When she stopped in front of the bed anxiously, Rika said, “Take off your jacket and jeans too.”

Her heart leaped at the command, but she knew Rika was only doing this so she could provoke her more. They wouldn’t have s*x today, and that was clear.

As she took of the pieces of clothing, she stared at Rika the whole time, realizing brown, intense eyes were fixed firmly on her body and skin as it came in to view.

She laid under the covers beside Rika, leaning sneakily closer to her body’s warmth. “You make me feel so much,” she confessed, her voice low and anxious. “So many sensations all at once,” she continued, looking deeply into brown eyes.

Rika smiled sweetly at her, her hand reaching out to caress blonde hair. “I feel this way too.”

ELI grinned at her, feeling her heart beating hard inside her chest. “Sometimes I can’t believe that we are a real couple. This is too good to be true.”

The brunette mimicked her grin. “I know.” She kissed the blonde gently on the lips and continued, “I need to ask you something.”

“All right, ask away,” she responded, taking the opportunity to bring her body closer to Rika’s and wrap her arm loosely around the slim waist.

“Well, Friday is a holiday and I’ve been wondering if you have any plans for the weekend?”

“Uh, not that I am aware of. I actually had forgotten that it’s a holiday. Great, though, no school!” She cheered with a cheeky smile and Rika rolled her eyes.

“You’re so predictable.”

The blonde laughed. “Yeah, probably. But tell me more about your plans for this weekend,” she instigated, moving her hand and nails back and forth on Rika’s back just to tease her.

“Well, I’d like to spend it with you and maybe we could go on a trip together.”

“Oh, a trip? That’s awesome!” She exclaimed happily, incoherently pulling her girlfriend into a quick kiss to celebrate.

“Yes, I have a beach house in the south of Boston. I don’t have any neighbours there and it’s quiet and peaceful. I think we could have fun. What do you think?”

“Wow! I think that’s the best idea I’ve ever heard! I'd love to stay in a beach house alone with you. That makes me think of the tons of things we can do together…” She wiggled her eyebrows, making Rika laugh. God, that sound was music to her ears.

“Naughty girl,” the teacher murmured, her turn to pull ELI into a quick peck on the lips. “We will leave at 9 am on Friday, so don’t be late!”

“I won’t, Miss Mills,” she saluted, causing them both to laugh and start kissing again.

xXx

ELI was helping Rika to put their luggage inside the car’s trunk and, s**t, Rika had a lot of stuff. She didn’t only pack one, but two bags just with clothes and another one just for the shoes.

“Why do you need all of this?” ELI asked while putting a heavy bag in the car’s trunk.

“Because I am Rika Mills,” the brunette answered loftily.

ELI laughed, shaking her head at her girlfriend’s argument. “Well, I can’t argue with that,” she said wryly, viewing a smirk appear on her teacher’s lips. “But I really hope you have some lingerie inside these bags,” the blonde continued, gesturing to the one she was holding and Rika crossed her arms, rolling her eyes playfully at the blonde. “Okay, I guess I’m done with your bags.”

“Where are yours?”

“I have only one, Rika. And it’s inside already.”

The brunette pointed a finger at the blonde and said, “I won’t lend you any clothes, just so you know.”

“Oh, that won’t be needed, Miss Mills. I’m sure we won’t be needing clothes at all.”

Rika rolled her eyes again, trying to hide a smirk. Without thinking, ELI approached hastily and stole a kiss from her girlfriend. But suddenly, she was pushed away by Rika.

“ELI! Don’t kiss me outside of the house,” the brunette scolded. “Anyone could see us.” She looked around with alarm, her shoulders and expression tense.

“C’mon, Rika, there is no need to be paranoid. There’s no one around. Sometimes I think you have no neighbours.”

“I do have neighbours, ELI. And you have to remember that we can’t be caught. We have to be careful.”

“You’re right, I’m sorry.”

The brunette gave her a weak smile and took a deep breath before speaking again, “Are you ready to go?”

“Yes, erm… just one question.” Rika nodded. “Are you taking any food to the beach house, because I don’t see any in the car.”

“Of course I am, dear. I asked Jerry to put tons of food in the fridge for us.”

ELI narrowed her eyes at the brunette. “Who’s Jerry?”

“Jerry is the man who takes care of my beach house. Why? You’re jealous already?” Rika asked defiantly, crossing her arms over her chest.

“No, just asking.”

“Uh-huh.” The teacher nodded and walked towards the driver’s door. “Hop in, naughty girl. We’re off to our road trip.”

“Oh, so this is a road trip now?”

“It can be. It’s a little bit far from civilization, dear.”

“Did I tell you that I’m loving every minute of this and we’re not even there yet?” She commented when they were already inside the car, putting on their seat-belts.

“No, you didn’t, dear. But I’m glad to hear you’re loving it.” ELI smiled in return, getting lost in Rika’s beauty and falling deeper for her each second.

After ten minutes in a comforting silence inside the car, ELI realized she couldn't keep her mouth shut for too long. And having a lot of questions to ask Rika, she wouldn't keep her mouth shut at all. This road trip was a great opportunity to know how exactly her teacher felt for her. Or at least try to instigate some things out of the brunette.

“Rika, how much time does it take to get to your beach house?”

“About two hours and a half. Why?”

She pouted. “Because I’m getting bored.”

“It’s been nearly ten minutes since we left, ELI,” she said with incredulity in her voice.

“Uh, I just can’t stay quiet with this silence.”

“There’s music playing on the radio.”

“I know, I just-” She paused. She didn't know if she had the courage to start asking Rika random questions about how she felt for her.

“What is bothering you, dear?”

“Nothing, let’s just… play a game or something.”

“A game? Which one?”

“A question game. I ask you a question, you answer sincerely and vice-versa.”

“All right, I will start. ELI, did you tell your grandma that you were going to spend the holiday away?”

“That’s not the type of question I was expecting right now,” she mumbled quietly.

Rika chuckled. “I know, but it’s important. Did you?”

“Yes, Miss Mills. Don’t worry. I told you that I am an adult now,” she replied rhetorically.

“Good,” Rika smiled. “What did she say?”

“I think it’s my turn to ask a question, isn’t it?”

Rika rolled her eyes. “Just tell me, ELI.”

“I don’t want to. It’s embarrassing.”

“Why is it embarrassing? Now I’m curious.”

“She said that I shouldn’t be kissing random boys while away.”

Rika stayed a moment in silence, seeming to absorb what the blonde had just said. “Well, at least she didn't say anything about girls.” After a few seconds, she added flirtatiously, “Besides, I’m no random girl, dear. I’m your girlfriend.”

ELI smiled from ear to ear, giggling lightly as she looked at her teacher’s playful smirk. “Can I ask a question now?”

“Go for it.”

“When was the first time you became aware of me?”

The brunette seemed to ponder for a few seconds, looking at the road blankly. Then, she responded with her voice quiet, “I’d rather not answer this question.”

ELI turned her body on the seat slightly so she could face her teacher better. “Why? I really want to know,” she whined. “You said you’ve read my files.”

Rika took a deep breath, tightening her fingers on the wheel. “Well, Miss Swan, after you were brave enough to answer my question in the auditorium, I became pretty interested in you.”

“But you already knew my whole name that day. How?”

The teacher let out another deep breath. “I always read the name of my students before I meet them. And yours… let’s say it called my attention. Swan isn't a common last name.”

ELI smiled brightly. “Whoa, I can’t believe this.”

“After seeing your name, I went to the office to read your files. I saw a picture of you and… well, you’re pretty, Miss Swan.”

“Oh my God, Rika!” ELI was definitely shocked. She couldn't believe that was how she got her teacher’s attention. “You thought I was pretty just by seeing a small schoolpicture of me?”

Rika rolled her eyes, letting a smirk appear on her face. “Yes, and I still do.”

“You’re so f*****g perfect, Rika!” ELI grabbed her right hand and started kissing her knuckles, causing the brunette to laugh. “Pull over so we can make out. Please, I’m begging you.”

Another laugh was heard that made ELI’s heart pound happily in her chest. “We need to focus on the road trip, Miss Swan. Save your desire for later.” She winked at the blonde, causing goosebumps all over her body.

“Okay.” ELI gave one last kiss on her teacher’s knuckles and intertwined their fingers. “Do you have a question for me or should I keep going?”

“It’s my turn now, Miss Swan. Don’t cheat,” Rika advised and the blonde just shrugged with a smile, waiting for Rika to continue. “What was your first impression of me? Did you ever dislike me?”

ELI laughed. “That’s not even possible. How could I dislike you? How could anyone?” She asked dramatically. “You’re amazing, Rika. Since the first day you entered the school, you enchanted everyone with your charm, beauty and intelligence.”

“That’s it?”

“Do I have to tell you that you turned my life upside down?”

Rika’s lips quirked up in a small smile. “I guess I already know that, dear.” ELI smiled in return. “But tell me more.”

“Seriously?”

“You made me answer the most embarrassing question about you, Miss Swan. Now tell me how I turned your life upside down.” ELI was going to protest when her teacher continued, “With details.”

With a sigh, ELI started speaking, “Well, when I first saw you, I was mesmerized. I was waiting for a bald and boring teacher to come in, but there you were, shining like a star.”

“Aren’t you exaggerating a little, dear?” Rika questioned, her cheeks slightly pink.

“I swear I’m not. I wasn't expecting for that, Rika, so it really shocked me.” The teacher arched her eyebrows in response. “And then…” ELI took a deep breath. “Then that moment at the auditorium happened and I certainly couldn't stop thinking about you. My insomnia even came back to torment me. It’s all your fault, by the way,” she accused while pointing her index finger at the teacher.

The brunette bit her lower lip. “Should I say I’m sorry?”

“No, because I’m not even sorry for myself! After that, we started to get to know each other and-”

“You kissed me,” Rika interrupted and ELI quickly felt her face burning in flames.

“Yeah,” she responded, avoiding her teacher’s eyes.

ELI was really ashamed of that performance she did to her teacher. Until today, she had no idea of where the courage of singing in front of Rika had come from. And she was surely not ready to talk about this with her now…

“Why are you blushing, dear?” The brunette teased, her voice sounding very provoking.

“Nothing, I’m- no- I’m not blushing, Rika,” ELI said awkwardly.

“You are, Miss Swan. Why you seem like you don’t want to talk about this?”

“Because, uh…” ELI fixed her eyes on the radio as she had just recognized a song that she very much liked and made her think about Rika. “Oh, listen to this song! It reminds me of you.”

And also, the distraction of showing this song to Rika was an escape to not explain why she didn't want to talk about the day she first kissed her.

[Play on: Supergirl by Anna Naklab feat. Alle Farben & YOUNOTUS]

ELI started singing low and softly, moving her head to the beat. “You can tell by the way, she walks that she's my girl. You can tell by the way, she talks, she rules the world. You can see in her eyes, that no one is her chain. She's my girl. My supergirl…”

“You’re singing!” Rika said suddenly, looking at ELI with a grin on her face.

The blonde’s eyes widened instantly, realizing too late what she had been doing. “No, I’m not.”

“You are, ELI. Please, continue!”

“No, I- no.”

“You’re blushing again, dear. You’ve sung to me before. What’s the problem now?”

“No, I- I don’t wanna talk about that.”

“Why not, Miss Swan?”

“I just… I don’t feel comfortable with someone watching me sing.”

“But you sing so well!” The brunette protested.

“I don’t think so, Rika…” ELI lowered her head, feeling very uncomfortable about this conversation.

“Okay. If you don’t wanna talk about that, it’s okay. No pressure.” The brunette smiled genuinely at ELI and the blonde smiled back.

“Thank you, Rika. Thanks for understanding.”

“You’re welcome.” The brunette intertwined their fingers and kissed the back of ELI’s hand. “Let’s enjoy the song, now.”

Rika turned up the volume and started moving her shoulders due to the beat of the song.

“Do you like the song?” ELI asked with a grin.

“Yes, the beat is nice and the lyrics are interesting.”

And then she'd say

That nothing can go wrong

When you're in love

What can go wrong?

Then she'd laugh

The nighttime into day

Pushing her fear

Further along

“Why do you think of me when you listen to this song?”

“Because you’re my Supergirl. Isn't that obvious?” ELI stated with a cheeky smile, getting another from Rika.

“I guess it is.”

Looking at her girlfriend, ELI felt her heart getting warm with love again, knowing that nothing ever could make her happier than being with Rika Mills.
