Not even close.

"...and that's the gist of it." I finished explaining this situation to the attentively listening Olivia.

"So…" She drawled. "This makes you even more of a catch, honey."

That was one way to put it.

"In a way," I nodded.

My girlfriend started laughing, her giggles sounding more like a relief than levity, though.

"Ah, would you mind if I use your name to solve some problems, then?" Olivia questioned, after finally calming herself.

"Feel free," I gave her a green light. "Rather, I encourage you to do so. If my name can keep my girlfriend safe, it's a good thing in my book."

"But what if I am in the wrong?" What a useless question.

"And this should make me care how? You are a part of my life, I will back you up no matter what." Life is unfair. If using all my resources to keep my and mine safe, whatever the case, makes me a villain, so be it. I never tried to be the hero of the story.

I felt Olivia's stare on my face. After making sure that the road ahead was empty, I turned my head to look at her. My girlfriend had a really intense expression right now. Her cheeks flushed, her eyes barely holding back the heat. Noticing my gaze, she licked her lips seductively.

"Hey, honey. Yesterday, I asked for some advice from Pat…" She let out a hot breath, leaning closer to me. "And there is something new I want to try. In bed."

"Sounds like a good time," I said, accepting her words.

I glanced at the navigator. Fortunately, we were almost home.

***

The new thing my girlfriend wanted to try was a normal blowjob. Not that I complain, but… One more thing to the discrepancy of what I assumed about her based on her words, and what I learned about her from being together.

"Ugh, this is much harder than I thought," complained my girlfriend, pausing for a moment. She didn't even think to cover her rest by adding a bit of handjob in…

She wore her school uniform, a thing that we somehow hadn't tried yet, bar the bra and panties, and was currently standing on all fours, working on the tip of my member. Olivia was as unskilled as it gets with what she wanted to try, yet very eager to learn. It was a bit hard to actually enjoy her actions when her teeth scraped the shaft more often than not. Though, with her being as hot as she was, coupled with the view I had directly in front of me, as well as the image in the mirror behind her… Yeah, I was hard as a stone right now.

Either way, my patience was almost exhausted. While being teased with view, touch, scent, and sound alike, release was nowhere in sight.

"Olivia," I finally had enough. "You did great for your first attempt, but it's time to change the pace a bit."

"Hey!" My girlfriend let out a note of protest.

Which I ignored outright, grabbing her by the waist and lifting her up, bringing her face closer to mine. Another motion, aiming at her long since drenched entrance, and slid her down, eliciting a loud moan from Olivia, once more connecting with her at a physical level.

"Olivia, there is a lot more for us to try and a lot of time to do that." I brought my lips to her ear and whispered, sensing the shiver that got through her spine, making her squeeze me even tighter down there. "There is always tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and so on and so forth."

I cupped her firm butt, raising her a bit, giving myself more room to move inside of her. From her ear, I slid my mouth down into her nape, letting my animal instinct go for a moment, kissing her neck greedily, trying to leave a mark on her. This is mine, this thought echoed through the dark depths of my being.

Another moan of hers, evoking even more lust from me. She pushed my chest, raising into the rider's pose, giving me a full view of her gorgeous body. Then she started matching my motions, arching her back even more, bringing me even deeper, as my hands moved to her slim waist, controlling her pace and range of movements.

Keeping one hand in place, I raised the second one to play with her breasts. Another moan. She raised her pace. It was now harder to think, as I lost myself more and more inside the moment.

Some time later, she let herself fall down onto my chest, breathing heavily, tired. Wholly trusting herself to me. Wasn't this beauty scared of this beast? I felt her kissing my chest, in-between moans. Doesn't seem so to me, noted a part of my being, not in the slightest.

I wrapped my arms around her, embracing her even closer. She entwined her arms behind my neck. I rose my body, sitting up, much to her surprise, which she expressed with a short yelp. I laid her onto her back, and she smiled at me, inviting me, with open arms.

A wave of dark cold failed to rise, completely melting under the brightness of her smile and warmth of her eyes. Ah, so that's what was so different about this situation.

This wasn't sex. Not anymore. At least not for her. It was lovemaking. Or, at the very least, this was what she believed. How laughable. I looked into her eyes, and in them, there was no beast. The fucking animal had never seen her like this. Not even close.

"Honey." Olivia, gently shaking my shoulder, woke me up.

"Hm?" I let her know about being awake.

"Um, sorry to wake you up," she said. "But, erm, my period started… And I actually forgot to bring the necessary things."

Oh.

"How are you feeling?" I asked with concern. Bella had it pretty badly during her time of the month.

"It just started, so it's not that bad yet. Thanks to 'Big Pharma' medicine, cramps won't be an issue," my girlfriend explained. "But, I have nothing on me right now, and my flow is pretty bad on the first two days, so, if it's not too much, can you go to the store?"

I rose from the bed, and looked around to find my sweatpants and hoodie combo.

"I usually use…" Olivia tried to explain to me what she actually needed.

"Sorry, I'm not quite awake enough yet. It's Claire's shift today, so just write her what you need, and I will buy it," I interrupted, while failing to fight back a yawn. Lack of sleep over the weekend started to catch up, or so it seemed.

"Oh, sure." My girlfriend nodded. "Thanks."

"No problem." I shook my head.

After finding and wearing my clothes, I took my phone and wallet, double-checked the cards, put on my sneakers and left.

Walking at a brisk pace, I reached the convenience store in just a few minutes. Claire was manning the shift with an extremely bored expression. I heard her automatic greeting, and another one, much more personal, after she recognized me.

I paid for the item Olivia requested, and Claire gave me a few pills I didn't recognize. Which, she said, they don't have in the store, but she had some in her backpack. After thanking her, I waved the Counter Girl a goodbye, apologized for not having time to chat, and left.
