Chapter 98: Tasteless

On the evening of May 7th, in a certain hotel, Ethan leaned against the headboard, smoking a cigarette while listening to the sound of water gushing from the bathroom. He felt a slight sense of loss.

His smoking habit had been formed during the half - month he spent in New York and had now become slightly addictive.

Back in Bucks County, without Audrey whispering into Claire's ear, he quickly won over Claire. Three days ago was Claire's first time, and today was the second.

Originally, he thought that with the lights off, it should all be the same. Women are all the same, with the same organ. With Claire, he wouldn't think of Zoe anymore.

But the reality was just the opposite. The feeling Claire gave him was completely different from what Zoe gave him.

It was neither interesting nor cooperative. To put it bluntly, Claire was like a corpse, basically giving no positive feedback at all. It made Ethan feel like he was doing a task, and he was even afraid of hurting Claire. After it was over, he actually felt relieved that it was finally done.

Indeed, Claire was a virgin and needed to be guided and developed. Things would surely get better over time. But Ethan still felt that personality determines everything.

Even then, there wouldn't be much difference between Claire now and in the future. At least, the difference wouldn't be as big as the one between her and Zoe.

To be blunt, making love with Claire was not as exciting as when Zoe masturbated for him, let alone the time she gave him oral sex. Language, atmosphere, and psychology - these things seemed secondary, but without them, it was tasteless. And these were things Claire couldn't learn.

Because she was a conservative woman, a traditional good woman.

"You're smoking again."

Claire's voice brought Ethan back to reality. Watching her dry her hair, he couldn't help but think of Zoe again. When Zoe dried her hair, she tilted her head, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, looking like a lotus emerging from the water. Even a glance from her was so full of feminine charm.

Ethan knew he didn't like Zoe; he just had a desire for her. But in comparison, although Claire was also quite good - looking, she lacked the seductive charm of a woman.

"I was just about to tell you, the day after tomorrow I have a dinner appointment with Jason, so I won't be able to accompany you," Ethan said casually.

Claire was on guard: "What kind of dinner are you having with him?"

"What's wrong with having dinner with him? We've known each other for years. It's just the two of us, no one else. Don't overthink it," Ethan explained.

Claire continued to press: "It can't last the whole evening, though."

Ethan replied, "Can you have dinner without drinking? Maybe after we eat, we'll go play some online games for a while."

On May 8th, the next day, Zoe suddenly remembered that Jason's birthday was tomorrow. Why not invite Claire? With the four of them together, it would definitely be much more interesting.

So at noon, she called Jason to her office to ask.

Jason said, "No, no, no. I asked Ethan, and he said he wouldn't bring Claire. Claire has something else to do. If you want to invite her, wait until Ethan's birthday next time."

This was strange. Did Ethan say he wouldn't bring Claire?

Could it be that he had changed his mind and wanted to do something with her during this dinner?

Zoe was puzzled. Honestly, without Claire, the fun of making trouble would be at least halved.

But she hadn't completely gotten the upper hand with Ethan yet, so she couldn't force it. It had to be gradual.

Thinking of this, Zoe also noticed that she hadn't been maintaining her relationship with Jason for quite some time.

She and Jason were still in a boyfriend - girlfriend relationship, even though he knew she had cheated.

If she didn't properly maintain this relationship, it would be pointless if he left.

With this in mind, Zoe said, "Hey, let's skip work this afternoon?"

Jason was taken aback: "Skip work?"

"Yeah, go out and have fun. Don't you want to go on a date with me?" Zoe said.

Jason was, of course, willing. He remembered that it had been a long time since their last movie date: "Where do you want to go?"

"Follow me," Zoe said, taking the car keys. She and Jason arrived at the commercial street. As soon as they got out of the car, she intimately linked her arm with Jason's. The weather was gradually getting warmer, and people were wearing less.

With this gesture, Zoe's plump breasts pressed against Jason's arm, the soft touch making Jason feel lighter. In an instant, he was reminded of all the good things about Zoe. It was as if they had become a normal couple.

They walked into a clothing store and started browsing. Zoe picked out some clothes and went into the fitting room. In a short while, she came out, and Jason's eyes lit up.

She was wearing tight - fit seven - eighths jeans, a white casual shirt, and silver high - heeled sandals. The outfit was both fashionable and beautiful, highlighting Zoe's great figure. Her legs were long and straight, and her round buttocks looked like a ripe peach, making Jason's mouth dry and his head dizzy.

For the first time, he felt that a woman's buttocks were so tempting that he wanted to take a bite.

Even the salesperson nearby envied Zoe's figure. Jason felt very proud. It was really a face - saving thing to be with such a woman.

After a while, Zoe changed into another set: black stockings with a high - waisted A - line skirt and a pair of high - heeled shoes, looking like an OL lady and stunning everyone around.

"Which one looks better?" Zoe struck a few poses as usual and asked the somewhat dazed Jason. She inwardly laughed, very pleased with her own beauty. No wonder those women in her previous life were all obsessed with dressing up, having beauty treatments, and even plastic surgery. But none of them could compare to even a fraction of her.

It seemed to be quite good to be a woman. No, it should be said that being a beautiful woman was not bad either. If you had the ability, you would be a rich and beautiful woman. If you had nothing, you would still have a vagina.

"All of them look good, and they all suit you perfectly!" Jason nodded vigorously.

Zoe was not short of money, so she bought both sets directly. As they continued to stroll, they passed by an electronics store. Zoe pulled Jason in and said, "You're having a birthday, and I haven't bought you a gift yet. Let's go and have a look."

Jason immediately felt that Zoe's straightforward character was particularly beautiful. Even buying gifts was so direct.

But soon he thought of those two sexy photos again. Looking at the eager - looking Zoe, for a moment he couldn't tell whether the Zoe in front of him was the real one or the one who had said to him, "Do you want to see other men fuck me?" was the real one.
