Chapter 53 CHAPTER 53: Pleasure and Pain
Hazel
As we said goodbyes, William took my mother aside and asked her to convince me to go home with him. According to him, we needed to sort out our relationship. My mother agreed totally, and I could not say no since he did this in the presence of Williams’ father, who had already talked to me about it, and my mother.
Later that night before we left, my mother had called me aside to have a chat with me. She told me how my father was not happy about my staying at home. According to her, I was breaking the terms of our contract with the Thorns. I heeded her words and decided to go home with Williams.
William had arranged for a driver to take my mother home, while he chose to drive us in his preferred vehicle, a Lexus LFA. As we approached the car, he courteously opened the passenger door for me, and after I was seated, he closed it gently before walking around to the driver's side.
Despite the growing discomfort of a headache, I settled into a quiet mood, mirrored by William's own silence. The journey was mostly quiet until I was jolted by the persistent vibration of my phone in my handbag. It was Adam calling. As I glanced at William, our eyes locked momentarily before I decided to disconnect the call. However, as the phone continued to buzz, I sensed William's increasing tension. After several attempts to ignore the call, William finally urged in a tense tone, "Just answer it, Hazel."
I looked over at him, and he returned the stare before gritting his teeth. “Put it on speaker, I want to know who is calling my wife at this time of the night. My heart lurched, and I hoped to God that Adam would not say anything stupid.
Reluctantly, I picked up, putting the call on speaker. Adam's voice, thick with worry, filled the car. "Hazel, I've been worried sick. You haven’t been picking up your calls nor reply to your messages. I just want to check in and know you are fine.
“I’m OK Adam, I’ve just had a busy week.”
“How is the baby”? He asked.
“Kicking” I replied and feigned a smile.
“I would love to…” I cut him off. “Listen, Adam, I’m on my way back from my father-in-law’s house. Let’s chat tomorrow, OK”, I added.
“Oh right, is he there”? He asked.
“Goodnight Adam” I said, ignoring his question.
“Hazel…I …” I ended the call.
William smirked as I ended the call abruptly and increased the speed. “Slow down Will”, I yelled.
"Why can't he just accept defeat and leave you alone?" He yelled back.
“You are enabling him by still keeping him in your life” he said.
“That is my best friend, William. You don’t just up and leave someone who has been there for you like forever” I said. I watched as he gritted his teeth before the car swerved slightly as his anger boiled over.
“You are going to get us all killed Will” I yelled again before he slowed down a bit and rode at normal speed.
As we got home, William stormed to his room while I followed behind. When he got in, he slammed the door in my face. I stood outside and knocked but when he refused to open, I yanked the door open, and it gave way, almost making me fall. I gasped as William came running to my rescue.
When he saw I was on top of the situation, he turned his back to leave, but I held his hands and he halted.
“I'm sorry Will, I promise you there is nothing going on between me and Adam anymore. Then I felt a searing pain again in my head as my vision got a bit blurry from the searing pain and I held my forehead in my hands. William turned and saw the look of distress in my eyes. His eyes changed from anger to concern.
“Are you alright”? He asked and I nodded.
“I'm sorry I snapped at you. I don’t know what it is about Adam that makes me so angry. He pulled me close to him and held me in his arms, forcing me to place my head on his shoulders.
He hugged me for a while before he whispered “I really do not want to lose you Hazel, you are a big part of my life now, and I'm sorry for acting like a big jerk sometimes”, he said while rubbing my back. I felt a bit relieved before the pain began again.
“I need to sit down, Will,” I told him. He led me to his bed and I sat down, and he squatted in front of me, then furrowed his brows.
“It really seems like you are in pain. Where does it hurt?” he asked.
My head. It hurts so bad” I replied.
“I'll be back” William said.
On coming back, he brought back a paracetamol tablet and a glass of water.
“Take this” he said as he dropped two tablets of it on my palm and held the water until I swallowed the medicine. After that, he helped me take off my clothes. I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen, but I pretended so he would not get worried. He helped me freshen up and tucked me into bed. Once I was settled in, he went back to the bathroom and took a bath.
I was almost dozing off when a hand settled on my lower waist, then a kiss followed on my neck. The headache had subsided, and I was feeling a bit better.
“Feeling a bit better”” William asked.
“Yes, the painkiller helped” I replied as he pulled me close to himself, then planted a kiss on my neck. I closed my eyes as I felt the sensation all over me. All of a sudden, I felt very horny, and a soft moan escaped my lips as William continued to trail his lips down my back. When he came back up, I felt his hardness poking me from behind. I moved my waist and rocked against him to show him that the feeling was mutual. He took the cue and began to lay soft kisses all over my body while his hand sneaked into my flimsy black night wear. He caressed my boobs while I rocked against him. Then I stretched out my hand to his back and took his hardness in my hands and rubbed my hands all over his length.
“Fuck, that feels so good” he gasped and bit down softly on my neck, making a soft moan in the process. I worked on him faster as he whispered in my ears.
“Babe, I'm so close, but I want to be inside you” he said softly, and I nodded. I felt him open his fly zipper down completely and ease out of it. Then he hiked my nightwear up. I wasn’t wearing any panties, so I forced my legs up slightly as he slid into me from behind while we were still lying in bed. I could feel him grow inside me as his breath became more ragged. I closed my eyes, enjoying the sensation of him moving in and out of me. I could feel my walls fluttering, clamping down on his aching dick which was buried deep inside me. He thrust in faster as I neared my orgasm. Then I felt myself moaning his name as his grip tightened on my arm.
“Fuck, Hazel, I want us to do this together” he groaned. Then, as if on cue, I felt my body tremble as we both came at the same time, William groaning my name as he thrust in for the last time. He held me close as we came down from our throes of passion.
“I love you so much Hazel” he whispered in my ears, still buried inside me.
I felt the tears prickle my eyes from his confession. It was the second time he had confessed to loving me. I smiled through my tears but did not reply.
A few minutes later, his grip relaxed on my arms, and then I could feel his even breath on my shoulders and his member buried inside me going soft. I gently slid away from him and tiptoed to the bathroom. I got a wet washcloth and cleaned him up. He turned in his sleep and mumbled some incoherent words.
As I stood up from the bed to return the washcloth, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen and I doubled over in pain. I sat on the floor waiting for the pain to subside as I wondered what might have caused it. My hand instinctively flew to my abdomen as I held my stomach. I made a mental note to call my gynecologist in the morning. As the pain subsided, I walked gently to the bathroom and dropped the washcloth, cleaned myself up before heading to bed.
As I got into bed, William's hands sorted me out, and he pulled me close to him as we cuddled together under the covers. I tried to go back to sleep despite his arms round me, but it proved difficult as my head began to throb again. As the night wore on, the headache worsened. Along the way, I slept off.
When I awoke, sunlight was streaming into the room. William was cuddled on the other side of the bed. I made my way to the bathroom to take a pee but the pain in my abdomen and head was excruciating to an extent that my vision blurred. I panicked and called out Williams’ name as I staggered slightly. William's voice seemed distant, muffled. A sharp pain seized my abdomen, my world tilted as I saw an outline of someone coming towards me. I reached for the wall so as not to fall flat on my face. Slowly, I felt a hand on my waist as the room spun into darkness.
