Chapter 93
I grip the railing as I make my way down the stairs, wincing slightly. Every step reminds me of what we did yesterday of him, of how much I let him take me and how raw it feels now. I’ve never taken that size before but I didn’t think I would be this sore and sensitive down there later. I try to ignore it, focusing on each step carefully ca, letting the warmth of the house and the faint smell of polished wood ground me.
When I reach the bottom, I take a deep breath and make my way to the girls’ room. The door swings open, and the first thing I notice is the sudden burst of energy inside. Tessa, June, and Lila are all there, lounging on the couches and floor, laughing over something one of them just said. Their heads turn toward me, and they all brighten in unison.
“There she is!” Tessa exclaims, hopping off the couch and reaching for me. “Finally! We were starting to think you’d disappeared into the space or something p>
I can’t help but smile, though it falters as my legs remind me again of yesterday. I step further inside, my body adjusting to the room’s warmth, my shoulders still tense and my hands fidgeting with the hem of my shirt.
June tilts her head, eyes narrowing in mock suspicion. “Oooh, look at you,” she teases, her voice low and playful. “You’ve got that… glow.
I freeze for half a second before realizing what she means. My face heats up instantly, and I can feel my cheeks turning bright red. I drop my gaze to the floor, trying to pretend I’m unaffected, but my hands tremble slightly at my sides.
“You mean the… uh I stammer, fumbling for words, my lips pressing together so tightly I taste the dryness.
Lila bursts into laughter before I can even finish. “Come on, Elaine, spill it! You’ve got that freshly She gestures vaguely with a hand, her grin wide. you know. That ’just being fucked into oblivion’ glow.” Yeah give it to Lila to be crude about something.
I whip my head up, mortified, eyes darting from her to June and Tessa, realizing they all know exactly what she just said. I feel my stomach twist in embarrassment, heat rushing through me, a mixture of shame and the lingering sting of yesterday.
“Oh Shut up,” I manage to whisper, though my voice is higher than I intended. I step further into the room, crossing my arms tightly over my chest as if that could shield me from their teasing. My pussy aches slightly as I shift my weight from one foot to the other, and I feel the subtle ache of my soreness from yesterday in the tension of my thighs and hips.
Tessa tilts her head, her eyes softening. “Relax, Elaine. We’re just teasing. You don’t have to explain anything. But seriously though you can’t fool us p>
I glance at her, catching the warmth in her tone, and let out a small, nervous laugh. My chest tightens in a mixture of relief and continued embarrassment. Even though they’re laughing and teasing, it’s clear they mean no harm.
June leans forward, smirking, and props her chin in her hand. “You know, you should at least tell us something about last night. You’ve got that… sparkle. Don’t pretend we can’t see it p>
I press my lips together, swallowing hard, feeling the flutter of nerves in my stomach.
“I… Uhmm it’s nothing,” I finally murmur, keeping my voice even though I can feel it cracking. I force a small smile, hoping it’s enough to convince them, though I can feel the heat on my cheeks betraying me.
Lila snorts softly. “Nothing? Elaine, come on. You’ are literally glowing, you can’t lie, especially not yo to me I’m very specialized in that area. So come onnnnnnn spare me the suspense and tell me what he’s like? I’ve always wondered. I bet he’s a tigger with all those muscles and shit. I would die to get a god like that to fuck me p>
Tessa lightly slaps Lila on her arm. “Lila!!. That’s someone’s husband come on now.” While laughing
Lila looks at me pleading like she thinks I’m upset with what she said or something. “Shoot! Fuck! I’m sorry, I hope you don’t think I want your husband or anything like that… I mean I would want him cause his hot as fuck, with that face and thosw muscles of his and he’s p>
Tessa smacks her again.
“Oh Shoot yeaaaa I’ll just go ahead and stop talking now p>
I laugh amused at her and down at myself, my skin still warm and my pulse a little faster. The memory of Zane, of yesterday, presses lightly in my mind. I shift again, uncomfortable, cheeks burning, trying to focus on something else anything else, anything at all.
Tessa laughs again, this time with a teasing wag of her finger. “Okay, fine. We’ll let you off the hook for now. But seriously, you’re walking around like you just got hit or something p>
I let out a shaky laugh, my shoulders relaxing a little as I sink into the corner of the couch. My hands grip the edge of the cushion as I let the teasing wash over me. I’m still embarrassed, still self-conscious, but the warmth of their laughter and the familiarity of their presence slowly makes me feel… safe.
June nudges me with her elbow. “You know, you could tell us if you want. We won’t make fun of you. We just want to see you happy p>
I hesitate, biting the inside of my cheek, feeling the swell of emotion in my chest the shame, the embarrassment, but also a strange sense of relief.
I nod slightly, barely audible. “Thanks,” I whisper, my voice soft, almost swallowed by the room, but enough to let them know I hear them. My hands relax on the cushion, though my cheeks are still flushed.
They grin at me, their teasing softened into something tender.
