Betty.

I stood right in front of the house watching Maya throw the last duffel bag into the trunk of her black Ford F-150. 

It's a brand new day and she has successfully crashed at my place for a week.  She truly needed this especially after that messy divorce saga with Davies, her ex-husband, she needed to be away from him and her children for a while but now it was time for her to return to her children, they needed her far more than I did.
  If it were up to me, I would have insisted that she stay and build a life here. Life with her was fun, she did most of the cooking and her company was golden, so bad good things had to come to an end.
She slammed the trunk shut loudly before turning to me, a sad smile spread on her face.  “Come here silly,” she said, pulling me into a tight embrace. I could smell her rose fragrance as they clung to my nose. I'd miss it too. 
“I’d miss you, Maya.”I snorted.
“Betty, I'd miss you too, trust  me, I wish I could stay longer even though it’s for an additional week, after all you have been a lifesaver, your presence has been so helpful, you’ve helped me heal, we cried  together, you’ve carried this burden for me … I wish we could just…”

I placed a finger on her lips, cutting her off softly, as I held both hands squeezing it lightly yet firmly. 
“No… You need to go back to your kids, they need you and they miss you the most, I’d be fine, I’ve got work to distract me, besides… I’m not the one who’s gonna miss you badly.”

I winked at her playfully and she rolled her eyes, her cheeks flushed just a bit but her eyes were uninterested. “ Do you mean your  new lover boy?” She asked.

“Yes, your new boyfriend!” I gushed.
“Well, things didn’t go as planned, we ended things briefly last night…. It was just for fun anyway.”

“Oh, no…. I’m sorry.”

“No… It’s fine, he has a serious girlfriend, he confessed to me and it was just a fling, nothing serious.”
My eyes widened with shock, “Huh? What do you mean by he has a girlfriend? That’s crazy, friend, I’m so sorry, men are absolute scum.”

A bitter chuckle rolled off her lips as she shook her head, then she opened the driver's door. “It’s really fine, Betty. It just made me realize that my children are my top priorities now, so that means no distractions.” She hopped into her seat, put her seat belt on, and winked at me. “I’m off now, goodbye my love, my best girl for life, call me soon?” 

“I will spam you with messages!” I yelled, “ Drive like a responsible adult!” I waved to her as her engine roared to life and just like that she drove out of the quiet neighborhood, leaving me alone once again.
Of course, I didn’t want to be alone, I didn’t want to have to think about Michael and his cock. 
No! 

I choked back tears as I swallowed hard, I was already missing her presence. She made me forget so many things and now she was gone, reality hit me so strongly like a sledgehammer.

As soon as I stepped inside, clicking the door shut behind me, I sank on the couch staring at the TV, I was watching it with the volume off,  yet my mind was miles away from here.
Then a loud knock jolted me out of my reverie.
My heart skipped a beat. Who could that be?
Was it Maya? Did she forget something?
I peeped through the peephole, just to see the chiseled face of Michael. He was so tall that I could barely see his face clearly. 
I swallowed hard as I yanked the door open meeting face to face with him, his blue eyes piercing, like the color of the ocean.

“Hi, Betty.” He said, running a hand through his blond hair. 
I glanced around the street, thankfully no one was in sight, then I yanked the door open just enough to grab his whole body inside.
I locked it immediately, my fingers trembling, then I turned slowly to stare at his face, I was almost melting at the sight of him, he still looked as fetching as ever.

“What are you doing here?” I griped, my voice was slow yet dangerous. “ I thought I made it clear that you mustn’t show up unannounced. You mustn’t even visit me at all. Are you slow?”

He didn't say a word he just stood there hand shoved in his jeans pocket staring down at me, it was as though I was standing close to a giant, you can’t blame me I was just. 5’7 and I’m sure he was 6’3, this didn’t help matters, it made me even more nervous.
“Oh, you can’t talk now, well if you have ears hear this,” I said, folding my arms across my chest,  “Whatever happened that night was a big mistake. I had no idea what took over me and I'm going to make sure it doesn’t repeat itself, we are done Michael, move on!”
He still stared at me, unfazed,  then he closed the distance between us, his floral cologne wafting into my nostrils stirring something raw inside of me. 
“Betty, it wasn't a mistake, we are both adults, we know what we did, you need to learn to start taking accountability for your own actions.”
I scoffed,  “Oh, so you are smarter than me now right? Huh? Smart pants!” I teased but it wasn't helping matters, my cut still throbbed at the sight of him, his soft succulent lips moving, or the way he subtly licked them.
“I’m not smarter, I just think you are running from something…are you scared?” He asked bending to meet my face.

“Why would I be?” I snapped.
“Yes you are, you think someone is onto you.”
I nod, “Maybe you’re right on this one, yes someone is watching, Adam is. Your professor and head of department. He was my ex and Incas you don’t know we were engaged once, ever since then he has sworn to ruin my life, and I'm afraid he won’t stop until he does. He’s so obsessed with me, he stalks me… he sends these messages…. They make my skin crawl with disgust, I don’t want him to find out about you… about us …”
He clenched his jaw, and before I knew it he had grabbed me close, his strong hands lifting me, I exhaled heavily, my breast rubbing against his.
Next to him I  looked like a child, he lifted me effortlessly as if I weighed nothing, I felt defenseless, yet safe, like he would not harm me, he carried me to the kitchen. 
“You don’t need to be scared, I’d protect you, no one dares threaten you while I’m alive.” He growled.

“No.. You don’t understand… You need to put me down.” I demanded.

“No… I’m sorry I won’t. “ he said, his face leaning against my neck. 
“I can’t lose my license Michael, this is my life! I can’t afford another scandal.” 
“I’ll make sure you don’t, “ he said, cupping my face with his hands.

“You don’t say…”

“I say so…” he said then he lifted my face to his so he could kiss me softly on the lips. This ignited a shock inside of me. It was electric.

I pulled away slapping him hard on the face, his face was pink but I didn’t care. “Stop this madness!”
“It’s not…” he moaned kissing me again, this time my resolve crumbled I pulled him close letting his mouth trail down my neck  nipping at my collarbone bone then lower to

But he didn’t. He kissed me again, softer this time, persistent. My resolve crumbled. My hands, traitorous things, grabbed his face, pulling him closer. His mouth trailed down my neck, nipping at my collarbone, then lower.
He yanked my robe off exposing my bare perky breasts and he began to suck on my nipples, first one, then the other, I couldn't help but let out a loud moan as I felt my inner thigh going moist.

“May I?” he asked politely as I nodded, I watched him take off his shirt and draw down his zipper revealing his hardened cock, precum oozing out of its cock head. 
He thrusts it right into me on the counter like I was his little slut. 
The feeling was amazing as our bodies slammed against one another in passionate unison.
 This encounter was even wilder and pleasurable than the sex in the car.
I didn’t hold back I let him fuck me hard that he poured his cum right inside of me, while I squirted it out. 
When we were done, I slid down off the counter, my legs shaking, my breath unstable as I staggered to the bathroom, locking myself in it.
What have I done
Did I just break my own rule?
I let the water rinse my sweaty body, tying the white towel around me when I was done. I walked back to the kitchen but to my surprise, he wasn’t there. 

Had he left? Or… worse had something bad happened to him?
