Fated Mate

They were both on their feet now, examining Lee’s body. They were all over pulling on the robe, lifting her hands, her legs, touching her face and her neck. The only thing they were doing was causing Lee more pain.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“She has teeth marks on her neck!” Maria bent Lee’s head over so that Ann could see.

Lee batted their hands away. “Will you two stop that! You’re hurting me. He didn’t do anything I didn’t want him to, so please calm down.”

They dropped their hands and stepped back. All the parts they had touched and pulled were throbbing severely. They sat and faced her; their serious faces on, like they were about to give Lee a lecture. Being the youngest never did have any advantages.

“What did I do wrong?”

They looked at each other, and then Ann turned to Lee, a tense look on her face. She shifted around her chair before she spoke. “Lee, I know as the eldest I sometimes don’t portray a good example for the both of you-”

Maria cut her off. “For her. I’m a grown woman, I know right from wrong. You and I are the same age, she’s the baby here.”

“No we’re not. I’m six months older than you.”

“I’m more mature than you are.”

Lee waved her hands in front of them, interrupting their argument. She was in too much discomfort to listen to their maturity competition. Most women would gloat on being the youngest in a room. “Here’s an idea, how about we get to the lecture?”

Ann coughed then leaned back into the chair. “Maria, you are right. You’re the mature one.” Then she pointed an open hand at Lee with an invitation.

If Ann was leaving it to Maria, Lee was sure she must have done something really bad.

Maria turned to Ann, “Coward,” then she turned to Lee. “We just wanted to know if the two of you used protection.”

“What?” Lee was surprised; she hadn’t seen that coming.

Lee could see why Ann was so uncomfortable. They talked about anything and everything, but when it came to the sex talk they were all yellow bellies, except Maria.

It was difficult to answer because Lee had no idea if Ash bothered to use one.

“Did you use a condom?” Maria persisted.

“Aw, that sounded…” Ann flapped her hands close to her as if she was chasing away the word.

No, maybe, “Yes,” Lee lied hoping Maria wouldn’t be able to see through it.

“I know it’s very uncomfortable to talk about this…”

“You have no idea!” Ann sounded strained.

“We know you are becoming a woman, but we just want you to be safe,” Maria went on ignoring Ann’s interruption.

“It’s cool. I get it.” Lee fidgeted on the chair feeling uncomfortable about the lie and the sex subject. She needed to take off before Maria started on the lectures on unprotected sex. “I think I’ll go back to bed, lay perfectly still until the pain goes away.”

“No. Just sit there for a while. Now that mom has gotten all that off her chest, give us the details?” Ann was giddy again.

“By the way how was your night?” Lee asked, deflecting Ann’s question. She shifted her gaze between the two of them waiting for someone to spill.

“Lonely.” Ann made a depressing sound. “As you can see, no trailer ran over me or Maria for that matter.” She raised her arms as proof.

“After a few hours Ash came back. He handed us the car keys and told the guys that they had to leave. We were having so much fun!” Maria was the one sulking now.

“I think that was after he left here,” Ann said in a low voice. “What I found strange is that they didn’t argue with him. They just did what he said, no questions asked.”

So Ash left right after I fell asleep. Hit and run. How very typical. Why would he be any different from any other man? Lee thought sadly to herself.

“Did you see his face? He looked like he was going to have a stroke! I thought he had done something bad to you. So I told Ann that we needed to leave too.”

“You drove home! Weren’t you drunk?” Lee felt guilty for ruining their night, but furious that they would be so irresponsible to drive home intoxicated.

“Calm down. When your boyfriend saw we were leaving at the same time and we were kind of tipsy, he had the guys drive us here. He followed behind in their car. They walked us into the apartment and left.” Maria picked off where Ann had left.

“He said he would drive us home, then something about not giving you another reason to hate him. When we got here he walked to your room, stood at your door and watched you for a few minutes before he rushed out the front door. The others said goodnight and followed him.” Maria paused for a while. “Come to think of it, it was kind of weird how they followed him.”

“Do you think they are in a cult? I mean no one should be upright after close to ten bottles of beer.” Ann’s mind was on overdrive again. Maria however didn’t appreciate the idea.

“That only means they can hold their liquor. He was right, I wouldn’t have forgiven him if he let you drive drunk. That he nailed.” Lee was glad he had checked on her, but annoyed he left without saying a word. Goodbye or goodnight would have been just fine.

But it wasn’t a reason to hate him.

“Speaking of nailing how was your night?” Ann had her cheeky grin on again. How she used Lee’s own words to trap her always amazed her. She smiled, as much as him ditching her so soon hurt her, her heart raced every time she thought about the night before.

“Ann, you don’t have to be so crude,” Maria said with distaste but Ann waved her off. “I was surprised you spent time with him alone at the club, imagine my shock when you left with him.”

“I expected her to ditch the guy, take the car and drive home like she usually does.” Ann had a laugh in her voice.

Lee smiled not at all ashamed of her antisocial behavior most of the time they go out, but she herself found it very strange how fast she trusted a complete strange.

“I don’t know…there was something very trusting about him. I felt safe with him…I can’t really explain it.” She looked up at her sisters confused. “Is that a bad thing?”

Ann chuckled. “It would have been if the guy was a serial killer!”

“Ann, do you have to assume the worst in everyone?” Maria asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Have you been watching TV lately? And it was you who raced home to see if he had strangled her,” Ann said before she turned to Lee with a naughty smile. “Speaking of which…”

Lee knew that was her cue to start talking.

“It was…new.”

“Keep talking,” Ann urged her on.

Lee felt a little embarrassed talking about her eventful night with them, but she knew they would pester her until she broke.

“He was gentle yet rough, fast then slow, really demanding but patient, loving and careful. It was like he was holding back one minute, the next he would lose control, letting himself drown in the moment. He was in no hurry to reach his orgasm. He’d wait for me to get there and then we would explode together. It was like my ecstasy mattered to him. Then we’d start again, every time different. I thought the bliss would kill me, but it would have been a happy death. It felt like…eternity in complete sheer pleasure…”

Her body shivered at the memory. She felt like she was in a trance, her heart was racing as she relived every moment.

“That sounds like…” Ann stopped, searching for a proper word for Lee’s description. For once, she was speechless.

“Beautiful poetry,” Maria finished with a coo.

They stared at Lee like she’d won the lottery or something. It was making her very uncomfortable.

“I’m going to soak in a bath. I’ll have my headphones on, so yell or just come in if you need something.” It was like she was talking to statues, they stared into space in a daze. Lee stood up, picked up her iPod from the living room table and walked into the bathroom.
