Chapter 21
“Michael, get in the shower,” Maria laughed, pushing her bofriend out of the door. She had already taken her shower, and she was standing there in her towel. He kept kissing her, and if they continued like that, neither one of them would be ready to go out to dinner with Tess and Kyle.
He rolled his eyes, “Fine,” he huffed good-naturdly. He grabbed a spare towel and Maria’s shower caddy and made his way down the hall to the showers.
Maria proceeded to dry off and slip on one of her little black dressed, and little was the operative word. It’s hem fell a little above her mid-thigh, and it was strapless, and clung to her curves like it was made to fit her. Her long legs seemed to go on for miles in that dress, and when she put on her black strappy heels, she knew she was going to make Michael cram his pants. They were all going out to a nice dinner at one of the new Indian restaurants downtown, so they were dressing nicely.
Michael re-entered the room as Maria was standing in front of her mirror, putting on her make up. His breath caught in his chest as he took in the view of her. She was absolutely radiant. Her creamy legs and slightly tanned shoulders were calling out to him. Maria turned around and saaw him staring and grinned her herself. “See something you like?” she asked.
Michael moved in behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. She leaned into him and sighed, “I need to finish my make up, and you need to get dressed, she said turning around and shooing him off.
He reluctantly removed himself from her and went over to the bed to get ready, but he still took the time to glance up at Maria as she applied her make-up. When, they were both dressed and ready, Maria sat next to him on the bed and put her shoes on. “Can’ you buckle these?” she asked sweetly batting her eyes at him as she lifted her feet onto his lap.
He smiled and took each foot in his hand, taking his time to buckle their straps. Maria smiled and kissed him lightly on the mouth, as to not to get her lipstick all over him. “Ok, let’s go. I bet Kyle and Tess are ready to go,” Maria said.
********
Dinner was nice, and Tess and Maria were both dressed to kill. Maria thought Kyle and Michael were going to come unglued when two guys started hitting on them, but they politely turned them down, motioning to their boyfriends. “So you want desert?” Michael asked.
“That would be lovely, Michael,” Maria said politely. He smiled and called over the watress for dishes of cinnamon ice cream all around.
After dinner, the four sat and talked for a long time. As Maria lit another cigarette, Kyle said, “You both look very beautiful tonight.”
“Thank you, baby,” Tess said kissing his cheek.
“Thank you,” Maria said, “You boys clean up pretty nice, yourselves,” Maria commented on the nice looking men at the table. Michael caressed her bare thigh under the table, and as she felt body head rise, Maria said, “Wanna head back to school?” They all nodded and let the restaurant.
********
That night, Maria and Michael got in bed together again, and she snuggled closely into his warmth. “You looked so hot tonight,” Michael said, kissing her earlobe.
“You did too,” she said, “but I have to say, I love you in those tight black shirts and jeans.” She giggled.
“Well, my favorite outfilt is the one you are wearing.” He said cocking an eyebrow at her.
“Michael, I’m wearing a thong. That’s it.” She said.
Michael nodded and kissed her hungrily. “You know, you are going to have to stop touching me all the time, if you are going to put me on sex restriction.” Maria said.
Michael smiled at her, “I know this is hard on you. It is me too, but thank you for being patient with me.” He said. Maria caressed his face and kissed him.
“It’s fine. This will just make it that much better when we do have sex,” she said. Michael was glad she understood.
*******
The next morning, just as Michael and Maria sat down next to Kyle and Tess, they spotted Isabel and Coutrney coming to their table. “Awesome,” Maria said unenthusiastically, ,under her breath. Michael sweezed her hand under the table and everyone gave her a sympathetic look.
“Mind if we sit down?” Isabel asked in her best Ice Queen voice. Courtney looked at the table in disgust, but as Maria nodded, she and Isabel sat down at their table. “I just havn’t gotten to see Kyle or Michael much, so…” Isabel said cutting herself off.
No one said anything, as they all ate in uncomfortable silence. “So, what have you guys been doing?” Courtney asked, “You know, besides ignoring your best friend?” she added sarcastically. Michael was about to open his mouth, but Maria laid a calming hand on his back and shook her head. It wasn’t worth it.
Kyle, however didn’t have such restraint. He looked straight at Courtney and said, “Well, it seems she’s found a wonderful knew one,” he said with a sarcastic gleam in his eyes. Maria, Michael, and Tess stifled their laughted at the disgusted look on Courtney’s face.
“Is this what it is going to be like between us forever?” Isabel asked, almost sad. She wasn’t giving much emotion away, but everyone at the table could tell.
“Look, we are trying here,” Michael said. “You and your new friend, are the ones who aren’t giving. Maria and I are together. Accept it, or leave us alone.” He finished calmly.
Isabel looked at Maria. Then and Michael, and back at Maria. But it was Courtney who spoke. “So, Maria, you introduce Michael to any of your many conquests in the greater metropolitan area? I’m sure he would be interested to find out who he is sharing a bed with.” She said with a smirk, glad to have gotten the last word.
Maria’s eyes flashed with anger, but in true Maria form she said, “Nope. I’m saving that for his second visit.” She winked and turned to Michael, who looked like he was going to kill Courtney, and for the benifet of the table, said with a sweet smile, “I’m going to go outside and read and smoke for a while. Stay here as long as you want.”
She kissed him lightly on the lips, and Michael deepened it, probing his tongue into her mouth for a second before pulling away. “You want me to come?” he asked softly.
“No, stay and have fun with your friends. I’ll be right outside.” Just to be mean she leaned into him again and kissed him, only this time harder and with more fire. Kyle and Tess grinned at the two of them, while Courtney looked at them with her death ray eyes, and Isabel looked on sadly.
Michael finally broke from Maria with a smile and watched her walk away from the table as she shook her ass just for him.
“Was that really nessesary?” Courtney said under her breath.
Michael looked at her and bit out, “Yes, it was. Since you made my girlfriend so uncomfortable, she had to leave. We were saying goodbye,” then he dug into his food once again. No one spoke to each other after that.
When Michael was done he said goodbye to Kyle and Tess, not paying Isabel or Courtney any attention, and he took his tray to the conveyor and walked out of Moody. He immediately saw Maria lounged in the grass with her book in one hand and a cigarette in the other. She looked so sexy with her shorts ridding up her long legs and her hair fanned out behind her. He grinned as he walked up to her, silently.
She was so engrossed in her book that she didn’t notice him approach her and when he pulled the book out of her hand, she nearly jumped out of her skin. She placed a dramatic hand over her heart, but when she cought her breath, she punched Michael hard in the shoulder. “Ow!” he cried laughing as he fell onto the ground next to her.
“You asshole! I almost had a heart attack,” Maria said, but her laughter and life in her eyes showed him that she was not mad. He spread his legs and pulled Maria between them as he wrapped his arms around her body.
“I’m sorry,” he said kissing the side of her head.
“It’s ok,” Maria said with a grin. Then she turned around slightly in his arms to look at him. “You know, I haven’t really slept with that many people while I’ve been here,” she said. She wanted Michael to know that. She didn’t know why, but she wanted him to know that she wasn’t getting laid every weekend.
Michael shook his head. “Look, I don’t care.” He said. “It isn’t important.”
“Ok,” Maria said smiling. “It sucks you have to leave in like a half hour.” She said glumly.
“Yeah I know, but I’ll be back in two weeks.” He said. Maria huffed and pouted in his arms. “Aww, you’re so cute when you pout.” Michael said kissing her protruding bottome lip.
“Alright.” Maria said. “Let’s get you packed.” She said getting up then helping him off the ground.
******
Maria and Tess kissed Michael and Kyle goodbye. “I’ll see you soon,” Michael said hopping into his truck.
“Bye,” Maria said. When they were gone, she turned to Tess and said, “What do you say we get some Ice Cream and take it easy. I’m tired as hell.”
Tess smiled. “Yeah me too. Let’s do it.”
The girls spent the rest of the night watching movies, which was Maria’s favorite pastime. They went to bed early to start another crazy week at Hudson University. And another week of Isabel and Courtney being, well, Isabel and Courtney.

Chapter 22
“Hey, Maria, I need to talk to you,” Liz said sitting down on her bed a couple of days later.
“What’s up?” Maria asked.
“I’m going to move into the Fine Arts house,” Liz said with a smile. Maria looked at her shocked and then smiled.
“That’s awesome. Are you waiting for next semester or moving out now?” she asked. She couldn’t help but be secretly happy that she was going to have her own room.
“I’m actually moving out this weekend,” Liz said, “I just found out they accepted me today,” she said. Maria was happy for her. It was more her speed to hang out with the wanna-be hippies in the Fine Arts house. Liz still didn’t know who she was, and she needed a group of people to tell her who to be.
“Well, awesome. Need any help moving?” she asked.
“No, some of the other girls are coming over to help.” She said. Maria nodded and went back to reading her English book. She was proud of herself for getting back into studying. She had been slacking for a couple of weeks, so she was catching up.
About 30 minutes later, Tess walked in the door. “So, Lost is a re-run tonight,” she said glumly sitting on Maria’s bed. Maria laughed at her. She wasn’t going to get to see any new Sayid scenes.
“That sucks,” Maria said. “I think Katie and Kaley are drinking tonight though, so all hope is not lost,” she said with a laugh.
Tess rolled her eyes, “You guys are going to get me kick out of school,” she said with a dramatic sigh.
“Oh common, Tess. This isn’t St. Olaf. If you don’t read every page of your 800 page text book, you will be ok.” Maria said to her friend. Tess had done a good job of letting go of her natural compulsion to be an over studier, but sometimes Maria needed to reminde her that missing an assignment was not a life and death matter.
“Ok, well call me when you find out what is going on,” she said getting up and walking out the door.
Liz looked at Maria, “You are a bad influence,” she laughed.
“Nope, I simple offer an alternative to studying. In the end I can not be held accountable for people’s actions,” Maria said before bursting into laughter. “Now, what to wear,” she asked looking into her closet.
*******
“What’s your sign?” Katie asked the millionth person who walked into her room. They all looked at her like she was nuts, and finally, Clarkie pulled her aside and kissed her to keep her distracted.
Maria was trashed, to say the least and she and Tess we helping each other out to the balcony, so that Maria could smoke. “Where are you bitches going?” Katie asked running up to them.
“Smoking,” Maria said pulling out her cigarettes. Katie grabbed Clarkie and Kaley and followed them out the door.
When they were all outside, Maria lit her cigarette and nearly fell over doing it, but Clarkie caught her fall and helped her stand. “You know what we should do?” Katie slurred. “We should streek on front quad!” She said excitedly.
“Fuck it, let’s do it,” Maria said pulling her shirt over her head. She didn’t even give it a second thought. Kaley and Katie giggled before removing their shirts as well. Maria looked at Tess and pointed a drunken finger at her. “Common, Tess. It will be a story for your children,” she said with a laugh.
Tess rolled her eyes and finally huffed before taking her shirt off. When all 4 girls were undressed, they ran down the stairs of the balcony and out onto front quad, screaming and yelling. “WOOOOHOOOOOO!’ they screamed, and after a few seconds, they had an audience of girls laughing at their drunk friends.
Maria’s teeth were chattering in the cool night air, and she turned to the others, “Ummm, It’s fuching cold,” she said. They nodded at her and ran back up the stairs to the balcony and their clothes. Clarkie sat there and looked at them in disbelief.
“You girls are nuts,” he said with a laugh, helping Katie into her Jeans again. He shook his head and finished his cigarette as they walked back inside.
“What took so long,” Britney from next door asked.
“We went streeking,” Maria said grinning from ear to ear. She had wanted to do that since she gt to Hudson, but she never had the buzz or the motivation before. Now she felt she had accomplished something. Of course that coud have just been the booze talking.
She stumbled to the stairs and tried to make her way up, “Where are you going?” Kaley asked.
“To my room. I’m about to crash and I want to drunk dial Michael first,” she said with an evil gleam in her eyes. The girls giggled at her and while Clarkis helped her up to her room, they all poured themselves another drink.
When Maria laid down on her bed, she pulled out her cell phone, and after misdialing about 10 times, she finally punched in Michael’s number and listened to it ring. “Hello?” a groggy Michael answered.
“Oh were you asleep?” maria asked, feeling sorry for waking him up.
Michael smiled, “Yeah, but I’m gald you called,” he said getting comfortable on his bed. “What are you up to?” he asked.
“I’m drunk,” she said giggling loudly. He laughed at her. That was his Maria, partying on a Wednesday.
“Well, I’m glad you are having fun,” he said. “What did you do tonight.”
“Well,” Maria said thinking, “I got trashed, then Katie, Kaley, Tess, and I went streeking on front quad.” She giggled drunkenly. Michael nearly groaned. What he wouldn’t do to see Maria’s naked body running around front quad.
“You are crazy, Maria,” He said with a laugh.
“You know what would make this night perfect?” maria slurred.
“What, baby?” Michael asked.
“If you were here,” Maria said. Michael smiled at that. Nothing made him feel better than when Maria expressed how much she wanted to be with him. Whenever, he doubted how much she really liked him, he loved when she said things like that.
“If you were here, we could get naked,” Maria said pulling off her clothes and touching her breasts. Michael’s cock grew hard as he hear her talking to him about what she wanted him to do to her, if he was there.
“I want you so bad, Michael,” she confessed over the phone. She was drunk and it had given her the courage to say what she really wanted.
“I want you too,” Michael breathed, trying to get a hold on his senses.
“I can’t wait until I can feel you inside me,” she moaned as she moved her hands down to her action pussy. She gently flicked her clit and Michael heard her sharp intake of breath. He couldn’t help his hand from wandering into his boxers and gently messaging his own rck hard shaft. “I can’t stop touching myself when I think about you,” Maria moaned as she quickened her menstrations.
“I know the feeling, baby.” Michael said, “I constantly wish it was you touching me, instead of myself.” He groaned.
“Are you jerking off right now, Michael?” Maria asked, already knowing the answere.
“Yes,” Michael hissed as he moved his hand up and down his cock.
“Cause I’m fucking myself with my fingers, and I keep picturing that it’s your pounding into me,” Maria moaned loudly. Michael knew that he was going to come any minute. He usually could jerk off for hours, but with Maria talking to him like that, and knowing that she was getting herself off while she was on the phone with him, made him need to come mush faster.
“Oh God, Maria,” he moaned pumping himself harder.
“I’m gonna come,” Maria breathed through clinched teeth. “Come with me,” she begged as she fell over the edge. “Oh Michael, FUCK!” She moaned arching her back and coming around her fingers.
“Maria, Maria, Maria,” Michael said over and over as he shot his seed into his hand. He fell back against the bed and caught his breath. “Whew,” he said with a laugh.
“That was hot,” Maria said giggling. “I’m tired now, though. Nighty night. Call me tomorrow when I’m sober,” she asked.
“Sure,” Michael said, “Sweet dreams. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” He said handing up the phone. He had never had phone sex, and he didn’t even think it was possible with the other person being drunk, but that was so hot he almost needed another round of masturbation, but not wanted to feel like a loser, he rolled over on his stomach and fell asleep.
Maria, now sated for the moment, rolled over and buried her head in her pillow. Her eyes gently shut and within minutes she was asleep and dreaming about Michael.
********
The rest of the week was pretty un eventful. Maria and the rest of the girls were still trying to recover from Wednesday night’s festivities. Friday night, Liz had all but moved out, and Maria was feeling a little down. She missed Michael. She missed Alex and Zan, and she was just generally in a slump.
Tess, Katie, and Kaley entered her room and sat down on Liz’s now empty bed. “You going to re-decorate?” Katie asked looking around the room.
“Yeah, probably tomorrow,” Maria said with a sigh. “I’m depressed,” she said leaning against the wall.
“We are too,” Kaley said. “We should be depressed together,” she said.
“Yeah, I second that,” Tess said, “I we should hang out and wallow in self pity.”
“What moon are we in?” Maria asked, “My guess would be Scorpio, because I’m moody as hell, yet horny, so it can’t be Cancer.”
“It actually is in Scorpio,” Katie said looking through Maria’s movie collection. “What if we watched Steel Magnolias, Moulin Rouge, ET,” she said pulling all three movies out. “These are about the most depressing movies ever,” she said with a laugh.
Maria laughed at her friend. “Ok, cool. I’ll make some green tea, and pop some popcorn. Then we can just make tonight an ‘in’ night.” Maria said getting off her bed and walking over to her closet to pull out her contraband coffee pot, and some popcorn.
Finally, all four girls settled into the two beds, Tess and Katie in one and Maria and Kaley in the other and started with ET. By the end, Maria was bawling. “Poor Elliot,” she said through her tears.
“I know.” Tess said sniffling.
“That was sad as fuck,” Katie said snuggling into Maria.
“Ok, now for Steel Magnolias,” Kaley said getting up and putting it in. Again the foursome was crying by the end and it felt good. Theraputic. Chick-flicks were so under-estimated.
Moulin Rouge was a much more fun movie to watch. The girls sang each of the songs by heart, but at the end when Satine died, they were back to crying. “It’s too bad that she had to die, right when they had been honest wih each other.” Tess said.
“Yeah, but such is life,” Maria said depressed. That was how things worked. When you finally get what you want, someone takes it away. She knew this from experience, but she was trying very hard to forget it.
The other three girls looked at their friend sympathetically. They knew Maria had issues that she hadn’t told anyone about, and they weren’t going to push. When she needed them, she would come to them, until then, they would just be good friends.
The four of them slept together that night, talking and laughing the rest of the ngiht. They were cheering each other up, and by the time they fell asleep, each other them felt better. Friends were a great thing. Maria had never been this close to girls before, and it was nice having girlfriends. They could understand things that Alex and Zan would never be able to grasp.
***********
The next day, Liz came by to pick up the last of her stuff. “Ohh, I’m gonna miss you,” Liz said with tears in her eyes.
“Oh stop,” Maria laughed. “You are just going to be across the quad.”
“I know, but I will miss out philosophical conversations at night,” Liz said wipping her face.
“Me too, but we will still hang out. I hope you like living in the Fine Arts house.” She said hugging her ex-roomate.
“I guess I’ll see you later,” she said. “There is a party at the hosue tonight at 9:00. I hope you come.”
“I’ll be there,” Maria said. And then Liz left. Maria looked around her now half empty room. What was she going to do with it, she wondered as she scratched her head. She sat down and drew up some ideas, then she was interrupted by a knock on the door. “Coming!” she yelled getting up and going to the door.
Her eyes went wide when she saw him standing in her doorway.

The other three girls looked at their friend sympathetically. They knew Maria had issues that she hadn’t told anyone about, and they weren’t going to push. When she needed them, she would come to them, until then, they would just be good friends.
The four of them slept together that night, talking and laughing the rest of the ngiht. They were cheering each other up, and by the time they fell asleep, each other them felt better. Friends were a great thing. Maria had never been this close to girls before, and it was nice having girlfriends. They could understand things that Alex and Zan would never be able to grasp.
***********
The next day, Liz came by to pick up the last of her stuff. “Ohh, I’m gonna miss you,” Liz said with tears in her eyes.
“Oh stop,” Maria laughed. “You are just going to be across the quad.”
“I know, but I will miss out philosophical conversations at night,” Liz said wipping her face.
“Me too, but we will still hang out. I hope you like living in the Fine Arts house.” She said hugging her ex-roomate.
“I guess I’ll see you later,” she said. “There is a party at the hosue tonight at 9:00. I hope you come.”
“I’ll be there,” Maria said. And then Liz left. Maria looked around her now half empty room. What was she going to do with it, she wondered as she scratched her head. She sat down and drew up some ideas, then she was interrupted by a knock on the door. “Coming!” she yelled getting up and going to the door.
Her eyes went wide when she saw him standing in her doorway.

Chapter 23
“MICHAEL!” she screamed, jumping into his arms. He easily picked her up and kissed her as she wrapped her legs around his waist. She grinned from ear to ear and looked at him, “What are you doing here?” she asked excitedly.
Michael walked them into her room and sat her down on the bed. “I missed you, and I didn’t want to wait another week to see you,” he said kissing her on the neck.
“Mmmm,” Maria sighed as her eyes rolled back into her head. The way he was touching her was sending her into a daze. “But what about the money you are saving for a new bike?” she asked, slightly distracted.
Michael stopped kissing her and looked her in the eyes, “It was either come and see you, or get my bike. I obviously chose you,” he said with a grin. Maria smiled and kissed him hard on the lips.
When she moved off of him, Michael looked around the room. “What the hell happened? Where is Liz’s stuff?” he asked, hoping that they hadn’t had a fight.
“Oh, she moved over to the Fine Arts house,” Maria said excitedly. “I was actually just getting ready to redecorate. You are here just in time. I need you’re decorating advice, Mr. White pain and plain sheets,” she said laughing at herself.
Michael stopped her laughter with his mouth as she kissed her deeply again. “Ok, what did you want to do to your room?” he asked, reluctantly pulling away from Maria.
“Well, first of all: I want to push the bed frames together and then move a king-size bed in here. I want to put on of the dressers and on of the desks in the closet. That will give me a lot more room.” She said looking around her room. She tapped her chin in though. It was an action that Michael thought was adorable. “I also want to go to a headshop downtown to get another tapestry to hang on the wall. And I was going to cut out some magazine pictures to wallpaper one wall.” She said summing up her plans. “Oh, and move the TV and Bookshelf away from the heater and in front of the bed.” She added with a nod.
“Doesn’t look like you need my help at all,” Michael said with a laugh.
“Well I need a big strong man to carry the King-size mattress uo the stairs,” she said batting her eye lashes. She was mocking all the girls she had met that acted helpless when a man was around. She was more than willing and able to do it herself, but if Michael wanted to help, the more the better. “And you can come with me downtown to the head shop,” she said excitedly.
Michael grinned at her excitement. “Don’t you think we should get your room straightened around before we add decorations?” he asked. Maria nodded and jumped up.
Quickly the two of them moved Liz’s dresser and desk into one of the closets. They pushed the beds together and moved them so that they were jutting out from the wall that used to be Liz’s. Then came the book case. Maria pushed hard on it, and had no luck, “Baby, you are going to have to take the TV off of it,” Michael said. “And all 3000 books out of it.” He chuckled. Maria had more books than he had ever seen in his life.
Maria pouted. “Ugghhh,” she said “This is going to suck.” She said with a sigh.
“No, it will be quick. I’ll help you,” Michael promised. And true to his word, after they removed the books and TV the bookshelf slid easily over in front of the bed. They made quick work of putting the books back. Finally, Michael set the TV on top of the DVD/VHS player and they seemed to be mostly done.
“Ok. Just got to get the mattress and sweep,” Maria said feeling a sense of accomplishment looking at her new, roomier room.
“Well I’ll go get the mattress, and you can sweep.” Michael said. He was almost afraid to say it. He didn’t know if he would offend Maria by assuming a masculine roles and putting her in a feminen one. But when she smiled at him and kissed his cheek, he realized that it was ok.
He followed her directions downstairs to the first floor where he found the spare mattresses, and after picking out the best one, he started carrying it upstairs. Meanwhile, Maria, sweaty from her work was vacumming the room.
It took both of them to get the mattress on the bed, and to make it with the new King-sized sheets maria had bought. “Hot pink and White,” Michael noted. “You’re a fan of pink, eh?”
Maria playfully slapped him. “Yep, I like pink. Sue me,” she said sticking out her tongue. Before she gt it back in her mouth, Michael kissed her tongue and she giggled, pulling him down on the freshly made bed. “Mmmm,” she moaned into his mouth as his hands moved up her sides. “We’ve got to get up.” She said breaking from him.
“I need a shower, and so do you. Then we can go downtown. By the time we are done, it will be dinner time.” She said with a smile. “Oh yeah. I need a rug too,” she said to herself. Michael laughed and wondered if he needed to be taking notes for her.
“So, lets shower,” he said cocking his eyebrow at her.
“Mmmm, you read my mind,” she said. She pulled him off the bed and grabbed two towels along with her shower caddy. In the bathroom, she knocked lightly and flipped the sign from Ladies to Gentlemen and pulled Michael into the bathroom, and into her favorite shower/changing stall. It was weird, but she always took showers in the same shower.
She began stripping and Michael did the same, “Now, this is serious business,” she said in a fake serious tone. “We are here to get clean!” she said with a shake of the head, but then she laughed as Michael’s fingers ran down her now naked sides. She kissed him deeply as she let him into the actual shower. She turned the water to hot and they waited as it heated up.
Michael took a moment to stare at Maria’s naked form. He had been naked with her before, and had a general idea of her body, but it was always in the dark, under the covers. Seeing her completely bare in the light of day was something completely different. She was actually more beautiful than he had imagined.
Maria, too, stared at Michael in awe. He was built like a god. She had seen his bare torso many times, and she had felt his thick cock in her hands, but she had not yet seen him completely naked. He was put together so perfectly that her knees went weak, and as Michael caught her in his arms, they looked into each other’s eyes, breathless.
Maria picked up her bodywash and, bare handed rubbed Michael’s body up and down with it, slowly and teasingly. She saw Michael’s semi-erect cock come to life and grinned. As he rinsed himself under the warm spray of the water, Maria lubed his cock with her soapy hand and slid it up and down and down his shaft. “Maria,” he breathed pulling her close to him.
He took the body wash out of her free hand and while she continuted to pump his cock, he began washing her body. Her nipples grew hard ash his gently hands passed over them lightly. She moaned slightly as his hands roamed down her stomach and he lightly passed his hands over the apex of her thighs. “Maria,” he groaned as he stopped moving. He knew he was going to come any minute.
“It’s ok, come for me,” she whispered into his ear.
“Oh God!” he breathed, trying to be quiet as he shot his load into her hand. She watched his milky white essence go down the drain and grinned.
She kissed him as he began washing her body again. One leg at time he soaped her up, and pushed her under the water.
He even washed her hair, massaging her scalp like only her hairdresser back home could. “That feels so good,” she groaned leaning into him. Then it happened. Her legs quaked as she came without him even touching her aching pussy. “Oh God,” she cried grabbing onto him.
When she came back to earth she looked at Michael. “Well, that’s never happened before.” She exclaimed with a laugh.
“No one ever made you come from a head massage?” Michael asked, please with himself.
“Never,” she said kissing him. She rinsed her hair and then turned off the water. “Come on,” she said handing Michael his towel. He wrapped it around his waist as she wrapped hers around her and they made their way back to the room.
Through fits of kissing and touching the two of them finally got dried off and dressed, and made their way out to Michael’s car.
************
“Wow,” Tess said looking at Maria’s new room. It was pretty awesome. Her magazine wallpaper was only have done, but that was because she had run out of magazines.
“Well, thank you,” Maria said taking a bow. “Michael helped,” she added.
Michael smiled shyly and wrapped his arm around Maria’s shoulder. Tess was happy to see her friend so happy. Michael coming up this weekend really brightened Maria’s depressed mood. It was almost like she had never even been sad. “So, are you going to the party at the fine arts house?” Tess asked.
“No,” Maria said. “I’m not really up for it. I’m tired after moving my room around. Besides, they will have another one next weekend,” she said. “Tell Liz that I’ll see her tomorrow,” Maria said.
“Ok. I will. I’m probably not going to stay long. Kyle’s calling tonight for some help with his English midterm.”
Maria laughed. “Cool. I’ll see you tomorrow at brunch, right?”
“Of Course,” Tess said on her way out the door.
“Where are Katie and Kaley?” Michael asked pullign Maria into his arms as Tess left.
“They went to Washington and Lee,” Maria answered. “That’s why this weekend was going to suck until you showed up,” she smiled.
“Aww, poor baby,” Michael teased.
“Oh shut up. The moon is in Scorpio so I’m moody and horny,” she said with a laugh. Michael shook his head at her. These girls and the Zodiac. He had to admit that he thought it was pretty cute. Hell, everything about Maria was cute.
“Wanna just chill out, tonight?” he asked.
“That is exactly what I want,” Maria said emphatically. “Let’s just put in a movie and lay here on my new King-sized bed and just be lazy and worthless,” she said. It was almost 8:00 at night, so it wasn’t like they had spent the WHOLE DAY doing nothing.
“Love to,” Michael said kissing her, before getting up and looking through her movies. “What about…” he said thinking of what to watch. “Is Unfaithful good?” he asked. It was a weird movie to watch with his girlfriend, but he had wanted to see it for a while.
“Yeah, it’s really good.” Maria said, “I have to warn you it turns me on though,” she said with an evil gleam in her eyes. Michael pulled it off her shelf and popped it in. The two of them changed into their usual sleeping attire. Maria in her underwear. No Bra, No shirt. And Michael in his boxers. They climbed onto the bed and snuggled into each other and Maria pressed play on the DVD player.
As they watched the movie, Michael couldn’t help but notice how Maria’s thighs would slightly buck and clinch during the steamy sex scenes between Diane Lane and Olvier Martinez, and while he had to admit those scenes were pretty fucking hot, seeing Maria get so turned on. Feeling her nipples harden against his skin was was really sent him over the edge.
When the movie ended, Maria smiled and looked up at Michael. “It’s not fair that you put movies like that on. I can’t help but get wet watching those two go at it.”
Micahel groaned, thinking about how wet she was, and how much he wished he could feel that wetness wrapped around his cock. But it was still a little too soon for him.
Michael smiled sympathetically at her. “Well, you know, I think I can help ease the pain a little bit,” he said. He had an idea that he had been thinking about since last weekend.
“Oh really?” Maria said, “And how would you do that?” she asked moving closer to him.
“Well, I still want to wait on the sex, but I thought that I could bring your best friend into the equation,” he said with a smirk.
“As hot as that sounds,” Maria said with a laugh, I don’t think Tess is into the threesome thing. Besides, Kyle might kill you,” she laughed.
“Not Tess,” Michael said nipping her neck with his teeth. “I meant your vibrator.” Maria’s eyes brightened up. She never would have guessed Michael was into that. He struck her as one of those guys that was intimidated by a woman’s sex toys.
“Really?” she asked sitting up.
“Yeah, I mean if you are okay with it. I’ve…I’ve never done anything like that before, but I just want to make you happy. Besides, I’m curious as it what you like to do to yourself when I’m not around.” He said, sitting up next to her. He was extremely turned on by the thought of watching Maria use her vibrator on herself.
She kissed him hard, wrapping her hands in his hair. “That’s so hot,” she said growing wetter at the thought of Michael watching her. She reached over, next to her, and opened the drawer of her desk. She pulled out the large, red vibrator and placed it in Michael’s hands. He stared at it for a moment and grinned.
“Never seen one before,” he said. Maria smiled and kissed him before getting out of bed. She flipped on the light and set up the pillows on her bed to get comfortable.
“Sit over there,” she pointed at the edge of the bed where he would have a good view of her whole body, but most importantly her wet, hot pussy. She leaned back against the pillows and gently rolled the vibrator, that was still off over her panty-clad heat.
She spread her legs and and moved the toy up and down her body. Michael watched in awe as Maria gave him a show. She kept her eyes on his as she gently pushed her underwear down her legs, and Michael gently removed them from around her ankles. She spread her legs again, and moved the head of the vibrator up and down against her clit. “Mmmm,” she moaned, closing her eyes and arching her back.
Slowly, gently, she pushed the toy into her tight body. “Ohhh,” she groaned as it filled her. Michael’s breath caught at the beautiful site in front of him. Maria was pumping herself with her vibrator, and it was so hot. Her breath became shorter and shallower as she flipped on the switch that made it vibrate.
The low hummm of the vibrator was coursing through his veins and she pumped faster. “Michael,” she moaned, imagineing it was he who was thrusting in and out of her. She snapped her eyes open and looked at him. “Come here, baby,” she moaned, still thrusting her favorite toy in and out of herself.
He sat there for a couple of seconds and then came back to earth. He lean forward and kissed her. She took his hand in hers and placed it on the toy that was buzzing inside of her. He looked in her eyes in confusion and then began to remove the vibrator, pushing it back into her. “Yeah, like that,” Maria moaned. He continued to fuck her with the toy, and Maria’s legs began to shake. “Faster,” she begged on the edge of oblivion. “Oh God. MICHAEL!” she moaned, coming hard around the rubber vibrator. Michael thrust it a couple more times and then pulled it out of her.
Maria breathed heavily and pulled Michael down next to her. “That was amazing,” she said dazed and still high from her orgasm.
“You’re telling me,” Michael said in awe of Maria. He never thought it could be so hot watching someone else get off.
“Your turn,” Maria said. “I want to watch you jerk off,” she loved watching men get themselves off, and she wanted to watch Michael make himself come at the thought of her.
He gulped slightly, never having been asked to jerk-off in front of anyone before. He slipped his boxers off and threw them on the floor. He gently took his member into his hands and rolled his fingers over it. He pumped himself slowly at first, stopping at the hed of his cock to collect some pre-come as he spread it over his aching dick.
He kept his eyes on Maria as long as he could, but the sensations were over coming him and he shut his eyes, throwing his head back. He felt Maria moved on the bed and his eyes snapped open as he felt her stop the movements of his hand and lick the tip of his weeping cock. “Mmmm,” she moaned, taking more of him into her mouth.
Her sweet tongue swirled around his mushroom head and Michael’s breath caught. He tangled his hand in her unruly hair as she decended on his cock, more and more with each thrust. The length of him that she could not fit down her throat, she pumped with his hand.
Then she began to hum. His body was in overdrive, and seconds later, urged on by the vibrations her humming was sending through him, he came deep in her mouth, moaning her name loudly, and as she licked him up greedily he sighed. Maria let his cock go and kissed him gently, but Michael quickly deepened the kiss, as he tasted himself on her. “That was amazing,” he breathed against her lips.
“Well, thank you,” Maria said with a laugh. “Come on, lets get to sleep. I’m tired,” she said with a yawn.
Michael nodded and held her close to him. They slept soundly that night, with dreams of each other. Maria was happy, and she almost didn’t know how to react to it. But she was going yo go with it. Michael was special, and she wasn’t going to give him up without some sort of fight.

The low hummm of the vibrator was coursing through his veins and she pumped faster. “Michael,” she moaned, imagineing it was he who was thrusting in and out of her. She snapped her eyes open and looked at him. “Come here, baby,” she moaned, still thrusting her favorite toy in and out of herself.
He sat there for a couple of seconds and then came back to earth. He lean forward and kissed her. She took his hand in hers and placed it on the toy that was buzzing inside of her. He looked in her eyes in confusion and then began to remove the vibrator, pushing it back into her. “Yeah, like that,” Maria moaned. He continued to fuck her with the toy, and Maria’s legs began to shake. “Faster,” she begged on the edge of oblivion. “Oh God. MICHAEL!” she moaned, coming hard around the rubber vibrator. Michael thrust it a couple more times and then pulled it out of her.
Maria breathed heavily and pulled Michael down next to her. “That was amazing,” she said dazed and still high from her orgasm.
“You’re telling me,” Michael said in awe of Maria. He never thought it could be so hot watching someone else get off.
“Your turn,” Maria said. “I want to watch you jerk off,” she loved watching men get themselves off, and she wanted to watch Michael make himself come at the thought of her.
He gulped slightly, never having been asked to jerk-off in front of anyone before. He slipped his boxers off and threw them on the floor. He gently took his member into his hands and rolled his fingers over it. He pumped himself slowly at first, stopping at the hed of his cock to collect some pre-come as he spread it over his aching dick.
He kept his eyes on Maria as long as he could, but the sensations were over coming him and he shut his eyes, throwing his head back. He felt Maria moved on the bed and his eyes snapped open as he felt her stop the movements of his hand and lick the tip of his weeping cock. “Mmmm,” she moaned, taking more of him into her mouth.
Her sweet tongue swirled around his mushroom head and Michael’s breath caught. He tangled his hand in her unruly hair as she decended on his cock, more and more with each thrust. The length of him that she could not fit down her throat, she pumped with his hand.
Then she began to hum. His body was in overdrive, and seconds later, urged on by the vibrations her humming was sending through him, he came deep in her mouth, moaning her name loudly, and as she licked him up greedily he sighed. Maria let his cock go and kissed him gently, but Michael quickly deepened the kiss, as he tasted himself on her. “That was amazing,” he breathed against her lips.
“Well, thank you,” Maria said with a laugh. “Come on, lets get to sleep. I’m tired,” she said with a yawn.
Michael nodded and held her close to him. They slept soundly that night, with dreams of each other. Maria was happy, and she almost didn’t know how to react to it. But she was going yo go with it. Michael was special, and she wasn’t going to give him up without some sort of fight.

Chapter 24
The next morning, Maria and Michael woke up early and got up to get dressed and take a walk around campus. Maria laced her finger’s though Michael’s as the made their way to the “loop” which was a small road that went all the way around the campus. “It’s beautiful outside,” Maria said feeling the cool breeze against her skin. It was in the lower 60’s, her favorite weather.
“Mmmm hmmm,” Michael nodded walking close to her.
They walked like that for several minutes before Michael finally said, “I wanted to talk to you about something, Maria.”
She looked up at him, questioningly, and said, “Yeah?”
“I’ve been thinking…” he started, “I think I might want to move here.”
“Really?” Maria said, confused.
“Yeah, I thought about moving here when Isabel came to Hudson,” he said. “I’m from a small town, Maria, but I’m not small minded. I want to get out of there. I want to go back to school. I want to make something of myself.” He explained. He hated his town. People there were small minded, racist, sexist, and all the same. He needed to get out of there. Not to mention the fact that if he moved into town, he would be much closer to Maria, and the new friends he had made at Hudson. There was no one back home to stay for.
Maria smiled at him. “I think that would be great, Michael.” She said. “But only if you are doing this for yourself. I don’t want you to move here because of me,” she stressed.
“It isn’t that.” Michael said. When Maria looked at him, he smiled, “It isn’t ONLY that. It’s true, we would be closer, but more than that I can apply to college here, get an apartment, and get out of the South.” He said seriously.
Maria let go of his hand and held him close to her as they continued walking. “Well, I think that would be great. You are too smart to not go to college.” She said.
Michael smiled and stopped walking as he turned to Maria. He leaned down and kissed her lips. Maria grinned against him and pulled him tight to her, pressing her body against his. “Well, I can’t say I would mind seeing you more often,” she said.
“Well, I’m always happy to oblige,” he laughed.
“You realize that Isabel is going to flip her shit. She is going to think I drove you to move,” Maria said rolling her eyes as they continued walking. She knew that no matter what, Isabel would see all of this as her trying to change Michael. The thing is that Michael didn’t belong in a small town. Michael was special. That was why people didn’t understand him where he was from.
“Yeah, well Isabel isn’t working with a full deck these days,” he said.
Maria rolled her eyes. Yeah, that was an understatement. “So, what are you going to major in?” Maria asked, changing to a better topic. She just realized, she didn’t know what interested Michael academically. She knew he liked motorcycles and he was into music, most specifically Classic Rock (YAY!) and Metallica.
“I don’t know. I’m thinking about art.” He said quietly as they made their way to the dinning hall for brunch. It was about that time, and they had come all the way around the campus.
Maria was sort of shocked. She didn’t know that Michael was into art. “Painting? Drawing?” she asked, wondering what he did.
“Well, I do both. I’d major in Studio Art and do it all, but my favorite medium is Paint,” he said shyly. He never talked to anyone about his art. No one back home cared, or they thought he was gay for being an artist.
“That is so awesome,” Maria said wide eyed. “Can I see some of your work sometime?” she asked. Finding out that Michael was an artist only served to turn her on more.
Michael gulped. “Ummm, yeah, sometime,” he said. He didn’t know if he wanted her to see his work or not. What if she hated it? Besides, his latest works seemed to all be her. What if that freaked her out? She was his muse, and he had been very productive lately.
“You don’t have to,” Maria said understanding. “I mean, it isn’t like I’ve shared my songs with you.”
Michael just held her tight and walked into the dining hall.
********
After Brunch, Michael had to go. He needed to get back home to figure out some things. He wanted to make his move as soon as possible and start school in the Spring, which meant he had to finish his application immediately. “Bye, baby,” he said kissing Maria lightly on the lips.
“Be careful,” Maria said, “Am I going to see you next weekend?”
Michael smiled at her. Awww, she was going to miss him. “Yes. I’ll be back next weekend. But I need to find an apartment while I’m here,” he said.
“Wow, you really have given this a lot of thought,” Maria said.
“Yep. If all goes well I’ll be living here in 3 weeks and starting school in the Spring. My mom is going to pay for everything as long as I stay in school,” he explained.
Maria squeeled with excitement. “Then we can have a slumber party every night,” she giggled. She was kidding of course. She wouldn’t be able to spend all of her time with Michael. She had to have some alone time as well as some time with the girls. She liked Michael, but she didn’t, by any means, want to live with him.
“Oh shut up,” he said rolling his eyes at her.
“Do you really have to leave?” Maria asked innocently as she deftly slipped her hand down Michael’s jeans and cupped his erection. He gasped and looked around to make sure no one was watching them.
“Maria, we are outside!” He exclaimed.
Maria grinned and leaned into his ear, licking his earlobe and feeling his hard cock flinch. “Oh you like it,” he breathed in a sexy voice. Michael gulped and looked at her with desire in her eyes.
“You’re going to kill me,” he moaned.
“Nope.” She said, “But you have to go,” she said looking evily at him as she removed her hand from his pants. “I guess you better get in the truck.” She smirked. Michael growled in frustration. “Think about me while you are fucking yourself on the ride home,” she whispered seductively. “Trust me, I’ll be thinking about you when I go upstairs and relieve some of my tension,” she said with a wink.
As she began to walk away, Michael pulled her back, crashing his lips onto hers. “You are a very, bad girl,” he growled.
“Yep,” she said winking at him again. “Bye,” she waved, walking back to the dorm as Michael got into his car. The truth was that she was dripping wet, and she WOULD be think about him as she relieved the tension.
*******
“So, Michael made a special visit?” Kaley asked interested.
“Yes,” Maria said with a smile. “He just showed up.” She said still surprise. No guy ever did that unless they were going to get laid, and Michael didn’t even want to have sex yet.
“That is so sweet,” Kaley gushed.
“There is actually more,” Maria said. She didn’t know if she wanted to tell the girls about Michael moving, because she knew they were go off the deep end with sappiness. “He is moving here.” She said
“Oh My God! Are you fucking serious?” Katie asked. “That’s fucking awesome, Maria. But isn’t all this a little fast?”
“No, he isn’t moving here for me. He wants to get out of his small town, and he wants to go to college here. He had been thinking about this since he found out Izzy was coming here.” Maria explained. Her friends seemed to not believe her. The looks on their faces seemed to say, ‘Yeah right.’ But she didn’t care. She knew the real reason Michael was moving and that’s all the mattered.
“It will be cool to have him around, though,” Kaley said. “Wow, you guys are really getting serious,” she said happy for her friend. As a hopeless romantic, she wanted Maria to find true love.
Maria rolled her eyes. They weren’t that serious. Were they? They were having fun. Sure she liked him…a lot. And she wanted to be around him, and she didn’t really miss other guys, except that she needed to have sex very soon. But that didn’t mean they were that serious.
“Anyway, he’s moving up here in probably 2 or 3 weeks,” Maria said with a smile.
“You told Isabel yet?” Katie asked with a chuckle.
“Nope. And I’m not going to tell her. It isn’t my job, and besides, she has nothing to say to me,” Maria said stubbornly.
“Well, that is going to be fun when she finds out,” Tess said taking a swig from her beer.
“Don’t I know it,” Maria said. But frankly she didn’t care. Isabel could either get a grip or go to hell.
********
The next day at Maria’s work study, she was dealing with an extremely challenging student. The girl thought she was Kelly Clarkson, and well…she wasn’t. “Jessica, you are flat,” she said playing out the girls notes on the piano.
“What do you mean, I’m flat?” The girl asked flipping her hair back.
“I mean you are under pitch,” Maria explained.
“Well, that’s your opinion,” Jessica said with a huff. Maria just stared back at her. Yep, she was one of THOSE types. The type that watched way too much American Idol and thought that actual singing talent was all a matter of personally taste. Uggghhhh.
“No,” Maria said, “It’s a fact. You are under pitch. This is the correct pitch,” she said playing the note. “And this is the note you were singing,” Maria then played that note. “It isn’t a character critique. It isn’t a put down, it is a fact. You can learn to sing the song in key, or you can think you know everything and sing flat, but in the end it is YOU who looks like an asshole when you sing the song wrong, not me.” Maria said getting angrier and angrier as the rant went on.
The girl rolled her eyes and sighed, but she went on with the lesson without saying anything else.
Afterward, Maria pulled out her phone and noticed she had missed a call from Michael. She dialed him and waited for him to answere. “Hello?” Michael said picking up his phone.
“Hey, baby,” Maria said, he mod immediately getting better.
“What’s up?” Michael asked.
“Nothing, just got done with work study, so I’m ready to through myself off a building,” she answered with a laugh. “Did you want something earlier?”
“Ummm, yeah. I just wanted to know if you could do me a favor.” He said.
“Yeah, what is it?” Maria asked.
“I found an apartment I think.” He said, “And I’ve talked to the landlord, but to get a leg up on this move, I was wondering if you could check it out for me,” he asked.
Maria was kind of shocked. That was putting a lot of faith in her. “Umm, yeah I can do that, but don’t you want to see it yourself before you agree to buy it?” she asked.
Michael chuckled, “I’m not high maintenance, Maria. And I trust you. I just want to be sure it has all it’s walls, appliances, running water, and heating/air conditioning.” Michael said.
Michael laughed at him. “Of course. I’ll have Tess take me there tomorrow, but I’m going to need an address,” she said taking out a pen and piece of paper. Michael read the address to her and she hung up, thinking.
That was just weird. She thought. Maybe things were moving to fast. He was asking her to look at a potential apartment for him, that was getting into some pretty serious territory. She shrugged it off.
********
Maria and Tess pulled into the apartment complex’s club house parking lot. It wasn’t too far from Hudson. Probably, a 15 minute drive. They needed to meet the owner of the building and go check it out with him. He greeted them with a smile. “Are you Maria?” he asked. She nodded with a smile. “Mr. Guerin said you would be coming,” he said walking with them to the apartment building that would be Michael’s.
Maria and Tess followed him into the apartment and looked around. It was actually really nice. It was all in hardwood floors, and had a cathedral ceiling in the living room. The kitchen was pretty small, and Maria noticed, walking around that it was a 2 bedroom apartment. Maybe Michael was going to get a roommate. She thought.
The place looked great. She even turned on the faucet to check for running water. She laughed at herself doing that. Michael was joking, but she just wanted to make sure. “So what do you think?” the owner asked.
“I like it. I’ll talk to Michael and I’m sure he will get in touch with you today or tomorrow,” Maria said smiling as she left the apartment. Tess nearly skipped to the car.
“That was a really nice apartment,” she said excitedly. “I wonder why it didn’t cost too much.”
Maria smiled at her friend, ‘I don’t know, but I hope Michael likes it,” Maria said looking out the window. She was still thinking about things. Tess noticed her friend’s withdrawal and sighed. What was going on with that girl now?
Back at Hudson, Maria pulled out her phone and dialed Michael. “Hey, Michael,” she said into the phone.
“Something wrong?” he asked, noticing something off in her voice.
“No, I’m fine. I just wanted to tell you I went to the apartment. It’s actually really nice. It has two bedrooms, hardwood floors, 2 bathrooms, and little backyard patio.” She said.
“Whew, that’s good, cause it was a really good price,” he said smiling.
“Yeah,” Maria said. “Well, I have to go,” she said. “Call you later.” Then she hung up.
Michael looked at his own phone kind of shocked. Maria never ended a conversation like that. If she didn’t turn everything into a sexual innuendo, she was at least friendly, and didn’t seem to WANT to hang up. What was going on? He wondered.
*******
The next day, Katie and Tess left for Washington DC for an art trip, and Maria was sulking in her room. She couldn’t stop thinking about the Michael situation. What was she doing? She was having feelings for him; strong feelings that she could not understand, nor begin to explain. This was too much.
How had she let this happen? And more over, how was she going to fix this situation? He was moving closer to her, the feelings would just get stronger. And when did all of this happen? She was a good-time girl. She was a party girl. She was not a girlfriend. She hadn’t been that person for such a long time. What if this relationship followed the same patterns as her other ones?
She was pulled out of her thoughts by her vibrating phone. “Yo,” she said glumly in the phone.
“Come play with me,” Kaley begged on the other end. “I’m lonely. Come watch Law and Order with me.” She said with a giggle.
Maria laughed, “I’m on my way,” she said hanging up and then climbing out of bed. She slipped on her flip-flops, grabbed her cigarettes and keys and walked out the door and down to Kaley’s room.
She let herself in and sat down on Katie’s bed. “So what have you been doing today?” Maria asked. It was nearly 8:00 at night, and she had yet to make contact with anyone. She skipped her class, taking a personal day.
“Nothing. Just being a crazy Cancer homebody,” Kaley said. “What about you? You going to tell me what is bothering you now, or are we going to have to play this game for another couple hours until you break.” Kaley asked seriously.
Maria rolled her eyes. “There isn’t anything wrong,” she insisted.
“Yeah, so I guess we are playing that game,” Kaley said sitting up. “Look, I’m a Cancer, ok. I am intuitive and I KNOW something is up, so just tell me. I’m not going to tell anyone.” She promised. “I can keep a secret,” she winked. “You need to talk about it, and who better with than a friend?”
Maria thought about what she said. It was true, Kaley was very trustworthy. She was the nicest and most reserved one in the group. Maybe she could give her some perspective. She sighed and turned into her friend. “It’s Michael,” she said.
Kaley know that. “What about him?”
“It’s just…” Maria tried to put her thoughts into words. “I think you are right. I think we moving too fast. This isn’t right. I’m not supposed to get attached to someone, and he isn’t supposed to get attached to me. This is too much.” Maria said frustrated.
“First of all, I never said you were moving TOO fast. I said you were moving FAST. There is a difference,” Kaley said pausing for emphasis. “You too have a connection weather you want to admit it or not. The way you look at each other, talk to each other, TOUCH each other shows in every way that you two have very strong feelings for each other. You can will it away all you want, but it is there,” She explained.
“But that is the problem.” Maria said dramatically. “I can’t be attached. And neither can he.”
“Why not?” Kaley asked.
“Because. At some point one of us is going to get sick of the other, or find someone better, or get bored, and move on. Then we will have broken the other’s heart. I can’t set myself or him up for that.” Maria explained.
“Maria, you can’t plan the end when you are still at the beginning. If you do, you will never know weather what you have is real or not. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith. I know, I know, you don’t have faith. Things need to be concrete for you. You are my precious little Taurus,” she said with a warm smiled, “But the fact is, that weather or not you believe in love, you will never get a chance to prove your theory unless you let someone in.”
“I…” Maria started not knowing what to say. “I like Michael.” She admitted. “I like him a lot. I’ve never felt like this about anyone before. He is a great friend and I am so attracted to him I don’t know what to do.” She said frustrated, “But is that love? I mean, what is love? How can it be defined? What makes the distinction between friends that you are attracted to and love?” she asked. She really wanted to know these answers.
“Maria, if you like him, and you have feelings for him that are this strong, then don’t give him up over your insecurities,” Kaley said. Maria was about to protest, but Kaley stopped her, “No, it is insecurity Maria. As far as Love. I can’t answer these questions for you. I don’t think you and Michael are in love YET. It would take time for you to know each other intimately enough for that, but you will never know if you keep pushing him away when he gets too close. I can’t define love. It is what it is, and you can believe it or not, but it is something different to everyone.” Kaley took a breath and finally said, “And if you think Michael is just a friend you are attracted to, then you are in a more sever level of denial than I thought. You are more than attracted to him, Maria. You know that,”
Maria looked down. She did know that. She had been attracted to many guys. With Michael, it was more than attraction. It was something she couldn’t’ define. It wasn’t all consuming or anything, but she did think about him a lot. She missed him when he was gone. She dreamed about him, and he made her happy with just a phone call. Her best friends couldn’t even do THAT every time.
“You really think I’m just pushing him away? I don’t have a point at all?” Maria asked. No one had ever told her that she was just making excuses before.
“Yeah, I do.” Kaley said. “I don’t know what happened to you in your past, and it isn’t really important, but it did a number on your psyche. Whatever it was, put into your head that ‘he who runs first wins.’ And that isn’t the case. You will never win unless you take a chance.”
Maria nodded. “What if I can’t do it?” she asked.
“You can. You just have to be strong. Remember that Michael is what you want. Don’t think about the end. Think about the here and now. And most importantly come talk to me when you feel like you are going to act like an idiot,” she said with a laugh.
Maria threw a pillow at her. ‘Shut up,” she said with a laugh.
“Alright, now all Law and Order all the time,” Kaley said getting comfortable on the bed and turning the volume on the TV up.

Maria laced her finger’s though Michael’s as the made their way to the “loop” which was a small road that went all the way around the campus. “It’s beautiful outside,” Maria said feeling the cool breeze against her skin.

“Really?” Maria said, confused.
“Yeah, I thought about moving here when Isabel came to Hudson,” he said. “I’m from a small town, Maria, but I’m not small minded. I want to get out of there. I want to go back to school.

“Be careful,” Maria said, “Am I going to see you next weekend?”
Michael smiled at her. Awww, she was going to miss him. “Yes. I’ll be back next weekend. But I need to find an apartment while I’m here,” he said.
“Wow, you really have given this a lot of thought,” Maria said.
“Yep. If all goes well I’ll be living here in 3 weeks and starting school in the Spring. My mom is going to pay for everything as long as I stay in school,” he explained.
Maria squeeled with excitement. “Then we can have a slumber party every night,” she giggled. She was kidding of course. She wouldn’t be able to spend all of her time with Michael.

This is the correct pitch,” she said playing the note. “And this is the note you were singing,” Maria then played that note. “It isn’t a character critique. It isn’t a put down, it is a fact. You can learn to sing the song in key, or you can think you know everything and sing flat, but in the end it is YOU who looks like an asshole when you sing the song wrong, not me.” Maria said getting angrier and angrier as the rant went on.
The girl rolled her eyes and sighed, but she went on with the lesson without saying anything else.
Afterward, Maria pulled out her phone and noticed she had missed a call from Michael. She dialed him and waited for him to answere. “Hello?” Michael said picking up his phone.
“Hey, baby,” Maria said, he mod immediately getting better.
“What’s up?” Michael asked.
“Nothing, just got done with work study, so I’m ready to through myself off a building,” she answered with a laugh. “Did you want something earlier?”
“Ummm, yeah. I just wanted to know if you could do me a favor.” He said.
“Yeah, what is it?” Maria asked.
“I found an apartment I think.” He said, “And I’ve talked to the landlord, but to get a leg up on this move, I was wondering if you could check it out for me,” he asked.
Maria was kind of shocked. That was putting a lot of faith in her. “Umm, yeah I can do that, but don’t you want to see it yourself before you agree to buy it?” she asked.
Michael chuckled, “I’m not high maintenance, Maria. And I trust you. I just want to be sure it has all it’s walls, appliances, running water, and heating/air conditioning.” Michael said.
Michael laughed at him. “Of course. I’ll have Tess take me there tomorrow, but I’m going to need an address,” she said taking out a pen and piece of paper. Michael read the address to her and she hung up, thinking.
That was just weird. She thought. Maybe things were moving to fast. He was asking her to look at a potential apartment for him, that was getting into some pretty serious territory. She shrugged it off.
********
Maria and Tess pulled into the apartment complex’s club house parking lot. It wasn’t too far from Hudson. Probably, a 15 minute drive. They needed to meet the owner of the building and go check it out with him. He greeted them with a smile. “Are you Maria?” he asked. She nodded with a smile. “Mr. Guerin said you would be coming,” he said walking with them to the apartment building that would be Michael’s.
Maria and Tess followed him into the apartment and looked around. It was actually really nice. It was all in hardwood floors, and had a cathedral ceiling in the living room. The kitchen was pretty small, and Maria noticed, walking around that it was a 2 bedroom apartment. Maybe Michael was going to get a roommate. She thought.
The place looked great. She even turned on the faucet to check for running water. She laughed at herself doing that. Michael was joking, but she just wanted to make sure. “So what do you think?” the owner asked.
“I like it. I’ll talk to Michael and I’m sure he will get in touch with you today or tomorrow,” Maria said smiling as she left the apartment. Tess nearly skipped to the car.
“That was a really nice apartment,” she said excitedly. “I wonder why it didn’t cost too much.”
Maria smiled at her friend, ‘I don’t know, but I hope Michael likes it,” Maria said looking out the window. She was still thinking about things. Tess noticed her friend’s withdrawal and sighed. What was going on with that girl now?
Back at Hudson, Maria pulled out her phone and dialed Michael. “Hey, Michael,” she said into the phone.
“Something wrong?” he asked, noticing something off in her voice.
“No, I’m fine. I just wanted to tell you I went to the apartment. It’s actually really nice. It has two bedrooms, hardwood floors, 2 bathrooms, and little backyard patio.” She said.
“Whew, that’s good, cause it was a really good price,” he said smiling.
“Yeah,” Maria said. “Well, I have to go,” she said. “Call you later.” Then she hung up.
Michael looked at his own phone kind of shocked. Maria never ended a conversation like that. If she didn’t turn everything into a sexual innuendo, she was at least friendly, and didn’t seem to WANT to hang up. What was going on? He wondered.
*******
The next day, Katie and Tess left for Washington DC for an art trip, and Maria was sulking in her room. She couldn’t stop thinking about the Michael situation. What was she doing? She was having feelings for him; strong feelings that she could not understand, nor begin to explain. This was too much.
How had she let this happen? And more over, how was she going to fix this situation? He was moving closer to her, the feelings would just get stronger. And when did all of this happen? She was a good-time girl. She was a party girl. She was not a girlfriend. She hadn’t been that person for such a long time. What if this relationship followed the same patterns as her other ones?
She was pulled out of her thoughts by her vibrating phone. “Yo,” she said glumly in the phone.
“Come play with me,” Kaley begged on the other end. “I’m lonely. Come watch Law and Order with me.” She said with a giggle.
Maria laughed, “I’m on my way,” she said hanging up and then climbing out of bed. She slipped on her flip-flops, grabbed her cigarettes and keys and walked out the door and down to Kaley’s room.
She let herself in and sat down on Katie’s bed. “So what have you been doing today?” Maria asked. It was nearly 8:00 at night, and she had yet to make contact with anyone. She skipped her class, taking a personal day.
“Nothing. Just being a crazy Cancer homebody,” Kaley said. “What about you? You going to tell me what is bothering you now, or are we going to have to play this game for another couple hours until you break.” Kaley asked seriously.
Maria rolled her eyes. “There isn’t anything wrong,” she insisted.
“Yeah, so I guess we are playing that game,” Kaley said sitting up. “Look, I’m a Cancer, ok. I am intuitive and I KNOW something is up, so just tell me. I’m not going to tell anyone.” She promised. “I can keep a secret,” she winked. “You need to talk about it, and who better with than a friend?”
Maria thought about what she said. It was true, Kaley was very trustworthy. She was the nicest and most reserved one in the group. Maybe she could give her some perspective. She sighed and turned into her friend. “It’s Michael,” she said.
Kaley know that. “What about him?”
“It’s just…” Maria tried to put her thoughts into words. “I think you are right. I think we moving too fast. This isn’t right. I’m not supposed to get attached to someone, and he isn’t supposed to get attached to me. This is too much.” Maria said frustrated.
“First of all, I never said you were moving TOO fast. I said you were moving FAST. There is a difference,” Kaley said pausing for emphasis. “You too have a connection weather you want to admit it or not. The way you look at each other, talk to each other, TOUCH each other shows in every way that you two have very strong feelings for each other. You can will it away all you want, but it is there,” She explained.
“But that is the problem.” Maria said dramatically. “I can’t be attached. And neither can he.”
“Why not?” Kaley asked.
“Because. At some point one of us is going to get sick of the other, or find someone better, or get bored, and move on. Then we will have broken the other’s heart. I can’t set myself or him up for that.” Maria explained.
“Maria, you can’t plan the end when you are still at the beginning. If you do, you will never know weather what you have is real or not. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith. I know, I know, you don’t have faith. Things need to be concrete for you. You are my precious little Taurus,” she said with a warm smiled, “But the fact is, that weather or not you believe in love, you will never get a chance to prove your theory unless you let someone in.”
“I…” Maria started not knowing what to say. “I like Michael.” She admitted. “I like him a lot. I’ve never felt like this about anyone before. He is a great friend and I am so attracted to him I don’t know what to do.” She said frustrated, “But is that love? I mean, what is love? How can it be defined? What makes the distinction between friends that you are attracted to and love?” she asked. She really wanted to know these answers.
“Maria, if you like him, and you have feelings for him that are this strong, then don’t give him up over your insecurities,” Kaley said. Maria was about to protest, but Kaley stopped her, “No, it is insecurity Maria. As far as Love. I can’t answer these questions for you. I don’t think you and Michael are in love YET. It would take time for you to know each other intimately enough for that, but you will never know if you keep pushing him away when he gets too close. I can’t define love. It is what it is, and you can believe it or not, but it is something different to everyone.” Kaley took a breath and finally said, “And if you think Michael is just a friend you are attracted to, then you are in a more sever level of denial than I thought. You are more than attracted to him, Maria. You know that,”
Maria looked down. She did know that. She had been attracted to many guys. With Michael, it was more than attraction. It was something she couldn’t’ define. It wasn’t all consuming or anything, but she did think about him a lot. She missed him when he was gone. She dreamed about him, and he made her happy with just a phone call. Her best friends couldn’t even do THAT every time.
“You really think I’m just pushing him away? I don’t have a point at all?” Maria asked. No one had ever told her that she was just making excuses before.
“Yeah, I do.” Kaley said. “I don’t know what happened to you in your past, and it isn’t really important, but it did a number on your psyche. Whatever it was, put into your head that ‘he who runs first wins.’ And that isn’t the case. You will never win unless you take a chance.”
Maria nodded. “What if I can’t do it?” she asked.
“You can. You just have to be strong. Remember that Michael is what you want. Don’t think about the end. Think about the here and now. And most importantly come talk to me when you feel like you are going to act like an idiot,” she said with a laugh.
Maria threw a pillow at her. ‘Shut up,” she said with a laugh.
“Alright, now all Law and Order all the time,” Kaley said getting comfortable on the bed and turning the volume on the TV up.

Chapter 25
Maria paced her room for about a half hour, waiting for Michael to get there. She needed to talk to him. She needed to tell him how she was feeling, set some records straight, and most importantly apologize for her behavior on the phone the other day. She had talked more with Kaley and Tess, and they pretty much told her to be honest with Michael about everything she was feeling.
It all made sense, but it was hard. While she could be honest about her feelings of anger, happiness, frustration, etc, she was finding the words to tell Michael how she felt about him were becoming impossible.
She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard a knock on the door. She took a few deep breaths and opened it. She huffed loudly when she was Tess and Liz standing there. “Come in,” she said motioning for them to enter.
“Nice to wee you too,” Liz said with a laugh.
Maria grinned and shook her head, “Sorry, Michael is gonna be here soon,” she explained.
Tess nodded in understanding, but Liz was confused, “So, what’s the big deal?” she asked. “I feel so out of the loop,” she grinned.
“Well, I’m going to tell him how I feel…even though I’m not really sure how I feel,” Maria tried to explain.
“Maria had discovered that her feelings for Michael are stronger than she anticipated,” Tess translated, “and she had been pushing him away slightly, so she is going to open up to him. At least a little bit.” Tess said. Liz nodded in understanding.
“You two think you are so damn cute, don’t you,” Maria huffed, unable to really get mad.
Just then there was another knock. Maria opened the door, and Michael was standing there in front of her, a handsome as ever, looking slightly nervous. She knew why, and she hated it.
She pulled him inside and he said ‘hi’ to Liz and Tess.
“Well, we’ve got to go,” Tess said, “Is Kyle downstairs?” she asked Michael.
“Yeah, he’s probably waiting outside you’re room,” Michael chuckled. Tess nodded and she and Liz quickly made their exit. Michael turned back to Maria and said, “So…”
“Yeah,” she said sitting on the bed. She stared at her feet silently.
“Maria, what’s wrong?” Michael asked sitting next to her. He lifted her chin with his index finger. She looked into his eyes and nearly lost herself. It was amazing how his light brown eyes could pull her in with such ease. “Do you not want me to move?” he asked, almost sad.
Maria shook her head. “No, Michael. I want you to move here. I’m excited about it, I just…we need to talk,” she said taking a deep breath.
Michael feared this was it. Maria had finally woken up and seen that she could do so much better. He braced himself.
“Michael, do you remember when I told you I would always be honest with you?” she asked. Michael nodded. “Well, here is where this part of my deal gets hard for me.” She took a few deep breaths. “I know that I’ve been freeking you out the last few days, and I can tell you why.”
She leaned back against the pillows on her bed. She motioned for Michael to sit next to her, and when he did, Maria took his hand in hers and lace her fingers in his. She looked back at him and continued, “After you asked me to look at the apartment for you, I freaked out.”
“But why?” Michael asked. He had figured it had something to do with that, but he didn’t understand what the big deal was.
“Because it was such an intimate thing to ask. Helping you pick out he place you are going to live. I thought things were moving too fast.” She tried to explain.
“Wait, rewind a second,” Michael said looking her in the eye. “Helping me find an apartment is a more intimate act than having sex?” That one he could not understand.
“For me, yes,” Maria said, “You see, I’ve always been open about sex. I love it, as you know, and I don’t equate sex to love or commitment. But being trusted to pick out or approved your apartment, the place you will be paying monthly rent, and living for the next few years, that is intimate to me. It would be like asking me to go to Thanksgiving dinner with your family or something. Both of those thing are personal and important to you. They are much bigger than sex,” she hoped she was getting her point across.
Oddly, Michael could tell where she was coming from, but it made him sad. No one had ever shared these “intimate” things with her. Sex had always come easy to Maria, but connecting to someone, and having a real, prominent place in someone’s life was something Maria had never known.
Maria continued, “But the bigger reason it freaked my out, was because it forced me to really think about my feelings for you. Sure, I like you. Michael you know that, I can’t make it anymore clear to you. But what I feel for you is more than just “like” and it is more than attraction. I can’t explain my feelings, so that is all you are going to get out of me, but I can tell you that I’ve never felt like this before. And it freaked me out. It STILL freaks me out, if I’m being honest.”
Michael just continued to listen to her as she kept talking, “This is unknown territory for me, and I don’t like unknown territory. I like a sure thing. I like knowing what I’m getting myself into, and with you I have no idea. I have know idea how these feelings I have are going to grow. I have know idea what YOU are feeling. I have no ideal when one of us is going to want out of this, and who is going to get their heart trampled on.” Maria said as a tear slipped from her eye.
Michael’s feeing himself grow misty at her admission, gently wiped her year and leaned in kissing her lightly on the lips. “You really don’t know how I feel?” he asked.
Maria stared back at him. “I think I do, but how can I know for sure,” she said quietly.
“Maria, I have the same feelings of fear and confusion. I’ve never felt about anyone, what I feel for you. I can’t define it either, but I want you so badly, that I’m willing to put my heart on the line to see what happens. I’m in a delicate place here to,” he explained.
“I know,” Maria said. “I know you are, and I don’t want to hurt you either. I’ve been through some shit that I don’t even believe, Michael. And all of it had led me here, to you. But it has also giving me a distrusting heart and major intimacy issues.” Maria said.
She pulled out a slip of paper and handed it to Michael. “I want you to read this,” she said with more conviction. “This is a song I wrote a year ago, after the last relationship I was ever in until you. I wrote it when I decided I was never going to get “involved” with men anymore.” She explained.
Michael’s heart soared. This was a step forward for them. She was really opening up. She was sharing her music, but not only that, she was sharing something in herself what was affecting their relationship. He read the title: ‘Oil and Water’
He lit the fire in my heart
And with the same flame burnt my world down stark
I gave him the whole entire thing
At first he gently held it and then got bored and started carving
Love, all one needs
What I need is to try healing
And then make sure I never
Fall back into that feeling
Love and I, to one another never truely loyal
We don't mix to well
Love flows like water, I burn like oil
Yet I look around and there is all this water
But none that I should drink
I notice now that I am oil, and oil is all I should think
A tiny pin prick, came little spurts of blood
A little trickle long enough can surely cause the flood
But last night he sped the process
He sliced it open then walked away and cut his losses
Love, all one needs
What I need is to try healing
And then make sure I never
Fall back into that feeling
Love and I, to one another never truely loyal
We don't mix to well
Love flows like water, I slip like oil
Yet I look around and there is all this water
But none that I should drink
I notice now that I am oil, and oil is all I should think
So beautiful and capable of bringing me good news
Now the enemy with knives and pins looking to bruise
You fall out as quickly as you fall in
You never fell at all I was just kidding
Love, all one needs
What I need is to try healing
And then make sure I never
Fall back into that feeling
Love and I, to one another never truely loyal
We don't mix to well
Love flows like water, I burn like oil
Yet I look around and there is all this water
But none that I should drink
I notice now that I am oil, and oil is all I should think
Michael read them through twice before looking back at Maria. “Maria, I’m sorry that you were hurt,” he said, “But I can tell you I will NEVER hurt you like this,” he said holding up the paper. He knew that not matter what happened in their relationship, he could never treat her how this guy must have.
Maria sniffled, “Don’t make promises you can’t keep,” she said quietly.
Michael pulled her into him forcefully, “No, Maria. This is a promise I can keep. I can’t tell you what is going to happen in the future, but I know that I’m not capable of doing this to you. I care about you too much,” he said seriously
Maria looked into his eyes. All she saw was honesty. She was taking a leap of faith, she believed him. She kissed him hard, and when they pulled apart, she pulled out one more piece of paper; a newer one. “This is the most recent song I wrote.” She said shyly. “I wrote it a few days ago. I wasn’t going to show it to you, but I think it might explain where I’m at,” she said handing it to him
He smiled at her, taking the paper and kissed her cheek, before looking down at this song, titled “Hell and Bliss.”
To explain the madness of you,
To complain of the sadness involved with knowing you,
To forget the revolting thought of going through.
The regret and the healing that I'd have to do.
Through my eyes the sky is pretty,
And you promise you'll join in the flight.
But I can't deny the gritty thought,
That you can't take the height,
You can look at this as one big fall,
Life will be both hell or bliss,
Or it can be nothing at all,
So I just ask you now to choose,
Don't you think it's worth it
Even if you lose?
How can I begin to speak,
When actions measure true feeling,
Though your words do leave me weak,
Your movements always leave me kneeling.
The true test of time is distance
But I am not willing to see,
I won't damage with nonsense,
What actions show is meant to be,
Through my eyes the sky is pretty,
And you promise you'll join in the flight.
But I can't deny the gritty thought,
That you can't take the high,
You can look at this as one big fall,
Life will be both hell or bliss,
Or it can be nothing at all,
So I just ask you now to choose,
Don't you think it's worth it
Even if you could still lose?
Michael folded the piece of paper back up and handed it to her as he whipped some stray tears from his eyes. He looked at Maria and cupped her cheek. “Thank you for sharing that with me,” he said.
Maria smiled and kissed him. “It the big, bad Michael Guerin crying?” she teased. She needed to take some intensity off the moment. She had had enough touch, feely moments to the day.
Michael laughed, pulling her into him. He kissed her hard and passionately, as he wrapped his strong arms around her. “That was very brave of you to share that with me,” he said not quite ready to drop the conversation completely. “I think it’s time for me to take a leap of faith and share something with you.” He said seriously.
“What’s that?” Maria asked tracing the shape of his chest with her index finger.
“The reason I haven’t slept with you, is because I’m as scared as you are,” he admitted. “I knew that when we took that step, there would be no going back for me, and I was scared. But I’m ready now. I want to take that leap with you,” he said kissing her collarbone.
Maria’s eyes went wide, and she grew wet, immediately. “Michael, I wasn’t…I mean I wasn’t trying to get you in bed,” she said with a giggle.
“I know,” Michael laughed. “But I know you want this, and god knows I do too. I have since the first night you kissed me. If you are willing to put yourself out there for me, than I want to do the same for you.”
Maria smiled and flung herself in Michael’s arms. She attacked his mouth as she pushed him back on the bed, straddling his waist. “Michael,” she breathed as his hands moved up her body, pulling her shirt up with it.
Maria crossed her arms over her, removing the bothersome garment and throwing it on the floor behind her. “Maria,” Michael breathed, leaning up to kiss her again. His skin was on fire and he couldn’t get enough of her.
Maria had never felt like this. The countless number of times she had, had sex, were never this intense. She felt like her skin would surely overheat at Michael’s touch. She pulled his shirt over his head and kissed his neck roughly. Michael reach around her, and unclasped her bra, seeing her beautiful breasts come into view, their pert nipples already heard in her desire for him.
He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him. He needed to feel those rock hard nipples pressed against his bare chest. Maria licked his head and whispered, “I want you so bad.”
Michael finally loosened his grip on Maria, and let her continue her minstrations. She moved down his check and roughly flicked his male nipples, sending shockwaves straight to his groin. “Maria…” he groaned, his cock becoming painfully hard. He felt her body slide against it, as she moved down his body, lightly licking the muscles of his abdomen.
She stepped off the bed for a second, just to step out of her jeans. She stood in front of him, only in a pink thong, for just a second before returning to the bed and licking and nipping his stomach.
When she got to his jeans, she quickly unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans. Michael’s breath hitched as she pulled his pants and boxers off of him together. She pulled them off his feet, then climbed back up his body and began kissing his happy trail, down to her destination. The anticipation was almost enough to make Michael come. He knew where she was headed, and his cock stiffened in response.
Maria, used to playful sex, wanted to continue with that. She loved the intensity they had at the moment, but she needed it to be playful as well, or she would surely die of serious intensity. She kissed the tip of his cock, and grinned as she head a hiss escape his lips. “Michael,” she said getting him to look at her, “Do you want me to suck your cock?” she asked devilishly.
He nodded at her. “How much so you want it, baby?” she asked huskily. She wanted him to say it.
“Please…” he groaned. “I want you to suck me…Please!” he begged. Maria took pity on the poor boy and kissed his beautiful cock one more time before wrapping her tongue around the mushroom head. “OH GOD!” he moaned grabbing the comforter he was laying on. Maria gently ran her tongue up and down his shaft, gleefully taking his precum into her mouth as it seeped out.
Finally, she engulfed his entire dick in her mouth and bobbed up and down on it. She looked up at Michael, and we was looking right back at her. Most men closed their eyes, but Michael kept his intense gaze on her. She loved that. It served to make her grow even wetter. She took him full into her mouth and then sucked as she moved back up his shaft, only leaving his head in her mouth. She swirled her tongue around it, before descending on it again. “Oh Maria…Fuck!...That feels…so…Ohhhh…good!” Michael moaned, clutching the sheets tighter in his fingers.
Maria smiled and began humming as she scrapped the pulsating vein on his cock with her teeth. Michael nearly lost his mind as that act sent him over the edge. “Baby, I’m gonna…OHHHH FUCK YEAH!” he grunted as he shot his hot come into her mouth. Maria swallowed it down, savoring the taste of him.
She moved back up the bed, next to him, and watched his blissful face as he came down from his orgasmic high. She smiled at him. He was so beautiful she could almost cry. She was starting to think Michael was quickly turning her into a weepy bitch. She laughed, and Michael turned to her, “What so funny?” he asked amused.
“Nothing,” she said, looking back at him with lust in her eyes. His lust matched hers as he pushed her down on the mattress.
“My turn,” he said evily as he kissed her. His tongue entered her mouth and he could taste himself on her. He groaned. That was hot. The few other girls he had been with were conservative in bed, and he was lucky to get a blow job, but he had NEVER kissed a girl afterward. They would have thought that was disgusting. Maria was different. Maria didn’t care what was considered, ‘right or wrong’ sexually, and there was something considerably freeing about that.
He moved from her mouth and lightly nipped her jawline. “Michael…” she breathed, reveling in the feeling of his hot mouth on her. He kissed her neck and sucked her pulse point, ready to mark her as his. He knew she was going to have a hickey, and he liked the thought that he was leaving his mark on her.
He didn’t stay on her neck for long as he moved down to her collarbone and finally her breasts. They were a perfect handful and as he took one in his hand and twisted a pert nipple with his fingers, he leaned down to the other one and licked it lightly. “Yess…” Maria groaned pushing harder into him He took her entire nipple into his mouth, sucking hard on it, and Maria laced her fingers in his hair pulling his face closer to her. “Oh God, don’t stop,” she urged.
Michael licked her hungrily before moving to her other breast. The noises she was making and the way se squirmed under him only urged him on. “Michael…” he kept saying, but he didn’t stay there long. He groaned as he heard her whimper at the lost of his mouth on her beautiful tits. He had other plans, though.
He made his way down her stomach, just as she had done earlier, and stopped at her navel, dipping his tongue deeply into it. Maria giggled slightly. “Ticklish?” he grinned. She nodded and he moved down, kissing a trail to her panty line.
He hooked his fingers into the side of her thong, and pulled it off of her, the smell of her arousal immediately hitting his nostrils. He breathed in deeply at the scent of it. He held her wet thong in his hand and cocked and eyebrow at her. “Wow, baby, these are wet.” He grinned.
Maria looked at him under heavy lidded eyes. “You always make me wet,” she purred. Michael growled and attacked her lips again, before remembering what he had been doing. He let her go and began placing wet kisses down her stomach again, all the way to her wet curls. Maria’s hips, were involuntarily moving into him, waiting for him to fuck her with his mouth.
“What do you want me to do?” he asked, using the same teasing method she had used before.
“Mmmm,” she moaned, grabbing her tits and playing with her own nipples. “I want you to lick me until I come,” she breathed. Michael’s cock jumped at her words and he immediately jutted his tongue out to taste her dripping wet folds.
“OH YEAH!” Maria moaned loudly. She didn’t care who heard her. She was in heaven. Michael licked her pussy up and down, lightly licking her erect clit. “Fuck,” she groaned, pushing herself into him. He placed on hand on her hip, keeping her down. With his other hand, her pushed a finger into her tight pussy, reveling in the wetness of her. He couldn’t wait to feel that around his cock.
Maria bit her lip in concentration as she looked down at him. He looked back up at her, and saw the look of pure pleasure and lust on her face. He groaned against her as he entered another finger into her. Maria’s mouth opened as she gasped at the sensation his fingers were causing in her. He licked her gently, purposely ignoring her throbbing clit as he stimulated her g-spot. “S…Stop teasing, Michael,” Maria groaned, wanting him to lick her clit.
Knowing he could deny nothing to Maria, he wrapped his lips around her clit as he thrust his fingers into her fast. “oh Yeah…Don’t’ stop!” Maria moaned, bucking into him. He nibbled her hard bundle and felt her cunt hold his fingers in a vice grip. “Oh Fuck YeaH! Michael! Oh FUCK I’m Coming!” she wailed in abandon as she came hard around his fingers. He licked her clean before returning to his place next to her on the bed.
Maria’s breath was ragged as she breathed through the after shocks of her orgasm. Michael watched her in awe. He couldn’t believe that he had done that to her. He could watch her come all day everyday.
As her breath evened out, she turned to Michael and grinned. “I want you,” she said in a husky voice. “I need to feel you inside me.” She reached into her desk next to her and pulled out a condom. Michael laid back and watched her as she ripped the package open with her teeth and pulled out the latex. She gently rolled it down his shaft and then leaned into kiss him. “Mmmm, I taste good,” she quipped, and Michael couldn’t have agreed more.
She straddled him, hovering just above his aching cock, and kissed him once more before she guided him to her opening and impaled herself on him. “Oh fuck Michael!” she moaned, grabbing his shoulders, as she came on the spot. She was in awe. She had never come for just penetration before. But the feeling of him buried deep within her was more than she could take, and she couldn’t control it. It felt too right. He fit her too perfectly.
Michael was just as shocked, as he had never brought a moan to climax by doing, literally nothing. But seeing Maria still overwhelmed from her orgasm, he rolled them over so that he was on top. He kissed her deeply, taking her tongue into his mouth and moaned at the sensation of her fluttering walls around his cock. He pulled out slightly and then thrust back into her.
“Michael…” she moaned, scraping her nails on his back. He loved it. He loved everything about her as he easily slid in and out of her cum soaked wetness. He pulled almost all the way out before plunging back in completely. He took her creamy thigh in his hand and pushed it up higher on his hip as he continued to thrust in and out of her.
“Maria, baby, you feel so good,” he groaned, as his senses were on overload. He didn’t know how he was staying conscious. He had never had sex like this in his life.
“Fuck, Michael, more,” she moaned, not even knowing what she was asking for anymore. Her body was wracked with pleasure that she had never felt before. She was reveling in the feeling of Michael fucking her like she had never been fucked, the feeling of his fingers digging into her hips, the feeling of her nails scraping across his back.
“What baby, anything,” he said looking into her eyes.
“Harder, fuck me harder,” she begged, tears stinging her eyes. He complied thrusting in and out of her with more force. Maria moved her legs up higher on his back, wanting to feel him deeper inside of her. She felt like she couldn’t get enough of his 9 inches into her tight body.
She felt the pressure building in her again, and she couldn’t stop another orgasm build in her. “Fuck Michael…sooo good!” she groaned coming hard around him once more.
“Maria, so tight!” he grunted, as he continued to plow into her. He was almost there, but not yet. He droved into her deeper and faster with each thrust unti he felt his balls constrict.
Maria felt another orgasm coming over her and was amazed. “MARIA oh GOD! MMMMM, YEAH!” Michael nearly screamed as he came while he was deep inside her.
When Maria felt his cock pulse within her as he came, she followed him. “MICHAELLL!!!!!!!!” she moaned at the top of her lungs, coming yet again.
Michael couldn’t keep himself up any longer. His arms burned from their sex and he collapsed on Maria. She loved the feeling of his warm, heavy body on top of hers. He was still within her, and she knew he would have to pull out soon to throw the condom away, but for now she just wanted to keep him inside her forever.
Michael finally rolled over. “Sorry, baby,” he said kissing her.
“I like it,” she said with a grin. He removed the condom and got out of bet to throw it way. When he got back in bed, he let Maria get under the covers, then he joined her. “That was amazing,” Maria said snuggling into him.
“You said it,” he said with a smile as he kissed her forehead. He could tell she was tired, and who could blame her. He was exhausted, himself. “Sleep,” he whispered in her ear as she rested her head on his heaving chest.
When she finally fell asleep, and he breath evened out, Michael kissed the top of her head. “I love you so much,” he whispered to her. He knew at that moment that he loved Maria. This was real love, he had finally found it. But he also knew that Maria wasn’t ready to take that step. He didn’t want to freak her out again. He would be there when she was finally ready to take the plunge and love him.

Chapter 25
Maria paced her room for about a half hour, waiting for Michael to get there. She needed to talk to him. She needed to tell him how she was feeling, set some records straight, and most importantly apologize for her behavior on the phone the other day. She had talked more with Kaley and Tess, and they pretty much told her to be honest with Michael about everything she was feeling.
It all made sense, but it was hard. While she could be honest about her feelings of anger, happiness, frustration, etc, she was finding the words to tell Michael how she felt about him were becoming impossible.
She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard a knock on the door. She took a few deep breaths and opened it. She huffed loudly when she was Tess and Liz standing there. “Come in,” she said motioning for them to enter.
“Nice to wee you too,” Liz said with a laugh.
Maria grinned and shook her head, “Sorry, Michael is gonna be here soon,” she explained.
Tess nodded in understanding, but Liz was confused, “So, what’s the big deal?” she asked. “I feel so out of the loop,” she grinned.
“Well, I’m going to tell him how I feel…even though I’m not really sure how I feel,” Maria tried to explain.
“Maria had discovered that her feelings for Michael are stronger than she anticipated,” Tess translated, “and she had been pushing him away slightly, so she is going to open up to him. At least a little bit.” Tess said. Liz nodded in understanding.
“You two think you are so damn cute, don’t you,” Maria huffed, unable to really get mad.
Just then there was another knock. Maria opened the door, and Michael was standing there in front of her, a handsome as ever, looking slightly nervous. She knew why, and she hated it.
She pulled him inside and he said ‘hi’ to Liz and Tess.
“Well, we’ve got to go,” Tess said, “Is Kyle downstairs?” she asked Michael.
“Yeah, he’s probably waiting outside you’re room,” Michael chuckled. Tess nodded and she and Liz quickly made their exit. Michael turned back to Maria and said, “So…”
“Yeah,” she said sitting on the bed. She stared at her feet silently.
“Maria, what’s wrong?” Michael asked sitting next to her. He lifted her chin with his index finger. She looked into his eyes and nearly lost herself. It was amazing how his light brown eyes could pull her in with such ease. “Do you not want me to move?” he asked, almost sad.
Maria shook her head. “No, Michael. I want you to move here. I’m excited about it, I just…we need to talk,” she said taking a deep breath.
Michael feared this was it. Maria had finally woken up and seen that she could do so much better. He braced himself.
“Michael, do you remember when I told you I would always be honest with you?” she asked. Michael nodded. “Well, here is where this part of my deal gets hard for me.” She took a few deep breaths. “I know that I’ve been freeking you out the last few days, and I can tell you why.”
She leaned back against the pillows on her bed. She motioned for Michael to sit next to her, and when he did, Maria took his hand in hers and lace her fingers in his. She looked back at him and continued, “After you asked me to look at the apartment for you, I freaked out.”
“But why?” Michael asked. He had figured it had something to do with that, but he didn’t understand what the big deal was.
“Because it was such an intimate thing to ask. Helping you pick out he place you are going to live. I thought things were moving too fast.” She tried to explain.
“Wait, rewind a second,” Michael said looking her in the eye. “Helping me find an apartment is a more intimate act than having sex?” That one he could not understand.
“For me, yes,” Maria said, “You see, I’ve always been open about sex. I love it, as you know, and I don’t equate sex to love or commitment. But being trusted to pick out or approved your apartment, the place you will be paying monthly rent, and living for the next few years, that is intimate to me. It would be like asking me to go to Thanksgiving dinner with your family or something. Both of those thing are personal and important to you. They are much bigger than sex,” she hoped she was getting her point across.
Oddly, Michael could tell where she was coming from, but it made him sad. No one had ever shared these “intimate” things with her. Sex had always come easy to Maria, but connecting to someone, and having a real, prominent place in someone’s life was something Maria had never known.
Maria continued, “But the bigger reason it freaked my out, was because it forced me to really think about my feelings for you. Sure, I like you. Michael you know that, I can’t make it anymore clear to you. But what I feel for you is more than just “like” and it is more than attraction. I can’t explain my feelings, so that is all you are going to get out of me, but I can tell you that I’ve never felt like this before. And it freaked me out. It STILL freaks me out, if I’m being honest.”
Michael just continued to listen to her as she kept talking, “This is unknown territory for me, and I don’t like unknown territory. I like a sure thing. I like knowing what I’m getting myself into, and with you I have no idea. I have know idea how these feelings I have are going to grow. I have know idea what YOU are feeling. I have no ideal when one of us is going to want out of this, and who is going to get their heart trampled on.” Maria said as a tear slipped from her eye.
Michael’s feeing himself grow misty at her admission, gently wiped her year and leaned in kissing her lightly on the lips. “You really don’t know how I feel?” he asked.
Maria stared back at him. “I think I do, but how can I know for sure,” she said quietly.
“Maria, I have the same feelings of fear and confusion. I’ve never felt about anyone, what I feel for you. I can’t define it either, but I want you so badly, that I’m willing to put my heart on the line to see what happens. I’m in a delicate place here to,” he explained.
“I know,” Maria said. “I know you are, and I don’t want to hurt you either. I’ve been through some shit that I don’t even believe, Michael. And all of it had led me here, to you. But it has also giving me a distrusting heart and major intimacy issues.” Maria said.
She pulled out a slip of paper and handed it to Michael. “I want you to read this,” she said with more conviction. “This is a song I wrote a year ago, after the last relationship I was ever in until you. I wrote it when I decided I was never going to get “involved” with men anymore.” She explained.
Michael’s heart soared. This was a step forward for them. She was really opening up. She was sharing her music, but not only that, she was sharing something in herself what was affecting their relationship. He read the title: ‘Oil and Water’
He lit the fire in my heart
And with the same flame burnt my world down stark
I gave him the whole entire thing
At first he gently held it and then got bored and started carving
Love, all one needs
What I need is to try healing
And then make sure I never
Fall back into that feeling
Love and I, to one another never truely loyal
We don't mix to well
Love flows like water, I burn like oil
Yet I look around and there is all this water
But none that I should drink
I notice now that I am oil, and oil is all I should think
A tiny pin prick, came little spurts of blood
A little trickle long enough can surely cause the flood
But last night he sped the process
He sliced it open then walked away and cut his losses
Love, all one needs
What I need is to try healing
And then make sure I never
Fall back into that feeling
Love and I, to one another never truely loyal
We don't mix to well
Love flows like water, I slip like oil
Yet I look around and there is all this water
But none that I should drink
I notice now that I am oil, and oil is all I should think
So beautiful and capable of bringing me good news
Now the enemy with knives and pins looking to bruise
You fall out as quickly as you fall in
You never fell at all I was just kidding
Love, all one needs
What I need is to try healing
And then make sure I never
Fall back into that feeling
Love and I, to one another never truely loyal
We don't mix to well
Love flows like water, I burn like oil
Yet I look around and there is all this water
But none that I should drink
I notice now that I am oil, and oil is all I should think
Michael read them through twice before looking back at Maria. “Maria, I’m sorry that you were hurt,” he said, “But I can tell you I will NEVER hurt you like this,” he said holding up the paper. He knew that not matter what happened in their relationship, he could never treat her how this guy must have.
Maria sniffled, “Don’t make promises you can’t keep,” she said quietly.
Michael pulled her into him forcefully, “No, Maria. This is a promise I can keep. I can’t tell you what is going to happen in the future, but I know that I’m not capable of doing this to you. I care about you too much,” he said seriously
Maria looked into his eyes. All she saw was honesty. She was taking a leap of faith, she believed him. She kissed him hard, and when they pulled apart, she pulled out one more piece of paper; a newer one. “This is the most recent song I wrote.” She said shyly. “I wrote it a few days ago. I wasn’t going to show it to you, but I think it might explain where I’m at,” she said handing it to him
He smiled at her, taking the paper and kissed her cheek, before looking down at this song, titled “Hell and Bliss.”
To explain the madness of you,
To complain of the sadness involved with knowing you,
To forget the revolting thought of going through.
The regret and the healing that I'd have to do.
Through my eyes the sky is pretty,
And you promise you'll join in the flight.
But I can't deny the gritty thought,
That you can't take the height,
You can look at this as one big fall,
Life will be both hell or bliss,
Or it can be nothing at all,
So I just ask you now to choose,
Don't you think it's worth it
Even if you lose?
How can I begin to speak,
When actions measure true feeling,
Though your words do leave me weak,
Your movements always leave me kneeling.
The true test of time is distance
But I am not willing to see,
I won't damage with nonsense,
What actions show is meant to be,
Through my eyes the sky is pretty,
And you promise you'll join in the flight.
But I can't deny the gritty thought,
That you can't take the high,
You can look at this as one big fall,
Life will be both hell or bliss,
Or it can be nothing at all,
So I just ask you now to choose,
Don't you think it's worth it
Even if you could still lose?
Michael folded the piece of paper back up and handed it to her as he whipped some stray tears from his eyes. He looked at Maria and cupped her cheek. “Thank you for sharing that with me,” he said.
Maria smiled and kissed him. “It the big, bad Michael Guerin crying?” she teased. She needed to take some intensity off the moment. She had had enough touch, feely moments to the day.
Michael laughed, pulling her into him. He kissed her hard and passionately, as he wrapped his strong arms around her. “That was very brave of you to share that with me,” he said not quite ready to drop the conversation completely. “I think it’s time for me to take a leap of faith and share something with you.” He said seriously.
“What’s that?” Maria asked tracing the shape of his chest with her index finger.
“The reason I haven’t slept with you, is because I’m as scared as you are,” he admitted. “I knew that when we took that step, there would be no going back for me, and I was scared. But I’m ready now. I want to take that leap with you,” he said kissing her collarbone.
Maria’s eyes went wide, and she grew wet, immediately. “Michael, I wasn’t…I mean I wasn’t trying to get you in bed,” she said with a giggle.
“I know,” Michael laughed. “But I know you want this, and god knows I do too. I have since the first night you kissed me. If you are willing to put yourself out there for me, than I want to do the same for you.”
Maria smiled and flung herself in Michael’s arms. She attacked his mouth as she pushed him back on the bed, straddling his waist. “Michael,” she breathed as his hands moved up her body, pulling her shirt up with it.
Maria crossed her arms over her, removing the bothersome garment and throwing it on the floor behind her. “Maria,” Michael breathed, leaning up to kiss her again. His skin was on fire and he couldn’t get enough of her.
Maria had never felt like this. The countless number of times she had, had sex, were never this intense. She felt like her skin would surely overheat at Michael’s touch. She pulled his shirt over his head and kissed his neck roughly. Michael reach around her, and unclasped her bra, seeing her beautiful breasts come into view, their pert nipples already heard in her desire for him.
He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him. He needed to feel those rock hard nipples pressed against his bare chest. Maria licked his head and whispered, “I want you so bad.”
Michael finally loosened his grip on Maria, and let her continue her minstrations. She moved down his check and roughly flicked his male nipples, sending shockwaves straight to his groin. “Maria…” he groaned, his cock becoming painfully hard. He felt her body slide against it, as she moved down his body, lightly licking the muscles of his abdomen.
She stepped off the bed for a second, just to step out of her jeans. She stood in front of him, only in a pink thong, for just a second before returning to the bed and licking and nipping his stomach.
When she got to his jeans, she quickly unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans. Michael’s breath hitched as she pulled his pants and boxers off of him together. She pulled them off his feet, then climbed back up his body and began kissing his happy trail, down to her destination. The anticipation was almost enough to make Michael come. He knew where she was headed, and his cock stiffened in response.
Maria, used to playful sex, wanted to continue with that. She loved the intensity they had at the moment, but she needed it to be playful as well, or she would surely die of serious intensity. She kissed the tip of his cock, and grinned as she head a hiss escape his lips. “Michael,” she said getting him to look at her, “Do you want me to suck your cock?” she asked devilishly.
He nodded at her. “How much so you want it, baby?” she asked huskily. She wanted him to say it.
“Please…” he groaned. “I want you to suck me…Please!” he begged. Maria took pity on the poor boy and kissed his beautiful cock one more time before wrapping her tongue around the mushroom head. “OH GOD!” he moaned grabbing the comforter he was laying on. Maria gently ran her tongue up and down his shaft, gleefully taking his precum into her mouth as it seeped out.
Finally, she engulfed his entire dick in her mouth and bobbed up and down on it. She looked up at Michael, and we was looking right back at her. Most men closed their eyes, but Michael kept his intense gaze on her. She loved that. It served to make her grow even wetter. She took him full into her mouth and then sucked as she moved back up his shaft, only leaving his head in her mouth. She swirled her tongue around it, before descending on it again. “Oh Maria…Fuck!...That feels…so…Ohhhh…good!” Michael moaned, clutching the sheets tighter in his fingers.
Maria smiled and began humming as she scrapped the pulsating vein on his cock with her teeth. Michael nearly lost his mind as that act sent him over the edge. “Baby, I’m gonna…OHHHH FUCK YEAH!” he grunted as he shot his hot come into her mouth. Maria swallowed it down, savoring the taste of him.
She moved back up the bed, next to him, and watched his blissful face as he came down from his orgasmic high. She smiled at him. He was so beautiful she could almost cry. She was starting to think Michael was quickly turning her into a weepy bitch. She laughed, and Michael turned to her, “What so funny?” he asked amused.
“Nothing,” she said, looking back at him with lust in her eyes. His lust matched hers as he pushed her down on the mattress.
“My turn,” he said evily as he kissed her. His tongue entered her mouth and he could taste himself on her. He groaned. That was hot. The few other girls he had been with were conservative in bed, and he was lucky to get a blow job, but he had NEVER kissed a girl afterward. They would have thought that was disgusting. Maria was different. Maria didn’t care what was considered, ‘right or wrong’ sexually, and there was something considerably freeing about that.
He moved from her mouth and lightly nipped her jawline. “Michael…” she breathed, reveling in the feeling of his hot mouth on her. He kissed her neck and sucked her pulse point, ready to mark her as his. He knew she was going to have a hickey, and he liked the thought that he was leaving his mark on her.
He didn’t stay on her neck for long as he moved down to her collarbone and finally her breasts. They were a perfect handful and as he took one in his hand and twisted a pert nipple with his fingers, he leaned down to the other one and licked it lightly. “Yess…” Maria groaned pushing harder into him He took her entire nipple into his mouth, sucking hard on it, and Maria laced her fingers in his hair pulling his face closer to her. “Oh God, don’t stop,” she urged.
Michael licked her hungrily before moving to her other breast. The noises she was making and the way se squirmed under him only urged him on. “Michael…” he kept saying, but he didn’t stay there long. He groaned as he heard her whimper at the lost of his mouth on her beautiful tits. He had other plans, though.
He made his way down her stomach, just as she had done earlier, and stopped at her navel, dipping his tongue deeply into it. Maria giggled slightly. “Ticklish?” he grinned. She nodded and he moved down, kissing a trail to her panty line.
He hooked his fingers into the side of her thong, and pulled it off of her, the smell of her arousal immediately hitting his nostrils. He breathed in deeply at the scent of it. He held her wet thong in his hand and cocked and eyebrow at her. “Wow, baby, these are wet.” He grinned.
Maria looked at him under heavy lidded eyes. “You always make me wet,” she purred. Michael growled and attacked her lips again, before remembering what he had been doing. He let her go and began placing wet kisses down her stomach again, all the way to her wet curls. Maria’s hips, were involuntarily moving into him, waiting for him to fuck her with his mouth.
“What do you want me to do?” he asked, using the same teasing method she had used before.
“Mmmm,” she moaned, grabbing her tits and playing with her own nipples. “I want you to lick me until I come,” she breathed. Michael’s cock jumped at her words and he immediately jutted his tongue out to taste her dripping wet folds.
“OH YEAH!” Maria moaned loudly. She didn’t care who heard her. She was in heaven. Michael licked her pussy up and down, lightly licking her erect clit. “Fuck,” she groaned, pushing herself into him. He placed on hand on her hip, keeping her down. With his other hand, her pushed a finger into her tight pussy, reveling in the wetness of her. He couldn’t wait to feel that around his cock.
Maria bit her lip in concentration as she looked down at him. He looked back up at her, and saw the look of pure pleasure and lust on her face. He groaned against her as he entered another finger into her. Maria’s mouth opened as she gasped at the sensation his fingers were causing in her. He licked her gently, purposely ignoring her throbbing clit as he stimulated her g-spot. “S…Stop teasing, Michael,” Maria groaned, wanting him to lick her clit.
Knowing he could deny nothing to Maria, he wrapped his lips around her clit as he thrust his fingers into her fast. “oh Yeah…Don’t’ stop!” Maria moaned, bucking into him. He nibbled her hard bundle and felt her cunt hold his fingers in a vice grip. “Oh Fuck YeaH! Michael! Oh FUCK I’m Coming!” she wailed in abandon as she came hard around his fingers. He licked her clean before returning to his place next to her on the bed.
Maria’s breath was ragged as she breathed through the after shocks of her orgasm. Michael watched her in awe. He couldn’t believe that he had done that to her. He could watch her come all day everyday.
As her breath evened out, she turned to Michael and grinned. “I want you,” she said in a husky voice. “I need to feel you inside me.” She reached into her desk next to her and pulled out a condom. Michael laid back and watched her as she ripped the package open with her teeth and pulled out the latex. She gently rolled it down his shaft and then leaned into kiss him. “Mmmm, I taste good,” she quipped, and Michael couldn’t have agreed more.
She straddled him, hovering just above his aching cock, and kissed him once more before she guided him to her opening and impaled herself on him. “Oh fuck Michael!” she moaned, grabbing his shoulders, as she came on the spot. She was in awe. She had never come for just penetration before. But the feeling of him buried deep within her was more than she could take, and she couldn’t control it. It felt too right. He fit her too perfectly.
Michael was just as shocked, as he had never brought a moan to climax by doing, literally nothing. But seeing Maria still overwhelmed from her orgasm, he rolled them over so that he was on top. He kissed her deeply, taking her tongue into his mouth and moaned at the sensation of her fluttering walls around his cock. He pulled out slightly and then thrust back into her.
“Michael…” she moaned, scraping her nails on his back. He loved it. He loved everything about her as he easily slid in and out of her cum soaked wetness. He pulled almost all the way out before plunging back in completely. He took her creamy thigh in his hand and pushed it up higher on his hip as he continued to thrust in and out of her.
“Maria, baby, you feel so good,” he groaned, as his senses were on overload. He didn’t know how he was staying conscious. He had never had sex like this in his life.
“Fuck, Michael, more,” she moaned, not even knowing what she was asking for anymore. Her body was wracked with pleasure that she had never felt before. She was reveling in the feeling of Michael fucking her like she had never been fucked, the feeling of his fingers digging into her hips, the feeling of her nails scraping across his back.
“What baby, anything,” he said looking into her eyes.
“Harder, fuck me harder,” she begged, tears stinging her eyes. He complied thrusting in and out of her with more force. Maria moved her legs up higher on his back, wanting to feel him deeper inside of her. She felt like she couldn’t get enough of his 9 inches into her tight body.
She felt the pressure building in her again, and she couldn’t stop another orgasm build in her. “Fuck Michael…sooo good!” she groaned coming hard around him once more.
“Maria, so tight!” he grunted, as he continued to plow into her. He was almost there, but not yet. He droved into her deeper and faster with each thrust unti he felt his balls constrict.
Maria felt another orgasm coming over her and was amazed. “MARIA oh GOD! MMMMM, YEAH!” Michael nearly screamed as he came while he was deep inside her.
When Maria felt his cock pulse within her as he came, she followed him. “MICHAELLL!!!!!!!!” she moaned at the top of her lungs, coming yet again.
Michael couldn’t keep himself up any longer. His arms burned from their sex and he collapsed on Maria. She loved the feeling of his warm, heavy body on top of hers. He was still within her, and she knew he would have to pull out soon to throw the condom away, but for now she just wanted to keep him inside her forever.
Michael finally rolled over. “Sorry, baby,” he said kissing her.
“I like it,” she said with a grin. He removed the condom and got out of bet to throw it way. When he got back in bed, he let Maria get under the covers, then he joined her. “That was amazing,” Maria said snuggling into him.
“You said it,” he said with a smile as he kissed her forehead. He could tell she was tired, and who could blame her. He was exhausted, himself. “Sleep,” he whispered in her ear as she rested her head on his heaving chest.
When she finally fell asleep, and he breath evened out, Michael kissed the top of her head. “I love you so much,” he whispered to her. He knew at that moment that he loved Maria. This was real love, he had finally found it. But he also knew that Maria wasn’t ready to take that step. He didn’t want to freak her out again. He would be there when she was finally ready to take the plunge and love him.

Chapter 26
Several Hours later, Maria’s eyes fluttered open and she noticed it was now dark outside. She looked up at Michael and smiled, as she gently shook him awake. He looked down at her and flashed her the sexiest smile she had ever seen. It was enough to make her weak in the knees all over again. “We need to get up and take a shower,” she said, kissing him lightly on the lips.
Michael had other plans though as he pulled her closer to him and deepened the kiss, delving his tongue into the hot cavern of her mouth. “Mmmm,” she moaned as she broke the kiss. “Now, we really have to get up,” she laughed as she got out of bed.
Michael watched her naked form rustle around in her dressers for a change of clothes and he could only admire the beautiful site of her. As she turned around, he saw a couple of dark hickeys on her body that he had left, and took an odd sense of pride in that.
Finally, he pushed himself out of bed and grabbed a towel. “Is this going to be a group shower?” he asked cocking an eyebrow at her.
She laughed at him. “What do you think?” she asked pulling him out of the dorm room and down the hall to the bathroom.
*****
When they were clean and dressed Michael and Maria made their way down to Tess’s room. Tess and Kyle probably thought they had gotten lost, as they had been in her room literally all day. Maria knocked lightly, and when Tess yelled for them to come in, she did.
“There you are!” Kyle said loudly. “We were about to send out a search party.”
“Yeah, well we got a little sidetracked,” Maria said with a grin she couldn’t hide. Tess watched Maria and Michael intently. They were radiant, and had grins on their faces that she could tell they were trying to cover. Oh yeah, they had most defiantly gotten sidetracked, she thought. She was so happy for both of them. That meant the conversation went well, and Maria finally opened up to Michael.
Kyle noticed a change in the two as well, but he loved giving his friend a hard time. “So, what was it that you got sidetracked doing?” he asked pretending to be oblivious. Tess elbowed him and Michael and Maria just laughed.
Tess moved some stuff off of the two computer chairs in her room and motioned for them to sit. Michael sat down, but before Maria could take the other seat, he pulled her into his lap and kissed her lightly. Maria giggled, and Tess noticed that it was the first time she had ever heard Maria DeLuca giggle like a school girl. She had it bad. “So, when are you officially moving, Michael?” Tess asked, sitting in Kyle’s lap.
“Well, actually I think I’m going to make a couple of trips this week, and be officially moved in by the weekend,” he said happily. If he was happy about moving before the events f the day had only served to make him downright impatient about the move.
“Awesome,” Tess said, “Need any help?”
“Well, Kyle here is going to come with me because he wanted to take some vacation time anyway, and I don’t have that much stuff.” Michael answered.
“We could help you unpack,” Maria said with a smile. She was making an effort to intimately link her life to Michael’s, at least in baby steps. This was a baby step for her.
Michael beemed at her, “That would be nice, baby,” he said kissing her once again. Kyle cleared his throat, and Tess once again elbowed him. He was either an idiot or a glutton for punishment, Maria thought.
Immediately, Katie and Kaley burst into the room. “There you are!” Katie said to Maria. “Haven’t seen you all day,” she grinned.
“Yeah, well…” Maria said happily. Michael gently lifted her up and sat her back down on the chair. “Where you going?” she asked.
“I think I’m going to bite the bullet and tell Izzy about the move,” he sighed. “It’s got to be done, and I’d rather get it out of the way.”
“Ok, want me to come?” Maria asked.
“Nope, I’ve got it. Be back soon,” he promised kissing her cheek. Kaley watched the two and smiled brightly. Things were defiantly looking up, and after what Katie had just told her, she was pretty sure they would one the path to happiness. They were so damn cute together it wasn’t even funny.
Katie turned dramatically to Maria, “So…wanna tell us anything?” she said cocking an eyebrow at her friend.
“Like what?” Maria asked faking ignorance.
“Oh, so that’s how it’s going to be,” Katie laughed. “Well, just so you know, I live right under you, and I could hear EVERYTHING you and Michael were ‘discussing,’’ she said with a laugh.
Maria turned about 10 shades of red. Tess realized she had never seen Maria blush either. “Really? What did you hear?” she asked, nervously.
“Hmmm, I heard the rhythmic bouncing of bed springs…some ‘oh fucks’ and a lot of moaning.” She said excitedly, “So…how was it…how many times did you do it…tell me everything!” she demanded.
Maria laughed at her, but it was common for them all to talk about sex, so she told them about it, completely forgetting Kyle was in the room. “It was amazing. Best sex I’ve had in my life,” she said looking up at her friends. They read her face and saw only truth.
“Damn.” Kaley said, “So, how many times did you do it? What did you do? Did you come?” she asked just as excited. The girls were dying for this information. They had a lot invested in Maria and Michael’s relationship.
“Ok, I think this might be too much information for me,” Kyle said clearing his throat.
Tess smacked him hard on the arm, wanting to hear what Maria had to say as well. “Shut up, or you won’t be having any sex to talk about for a very very long time,” she warned.
Kyle immediately shut up. He was actually kind of interested in what Maria had to say as well. He didn’t want to admit it, but he had always wondered how girls talked about sex. What they said…what they liked. He never expected them to be this open and straight forward. He had always kind of thought that they never talk about it. Boy was he wrong.
“Did I come?” Maria asked as if she were almost outraged. “Man, he went down on me, I have him head, and we had sex ONE TIME and I came 4 times! 4 times!!!! I didn’t know I could even come that many times in one session!” she said.
“You lucky, lucky bitch!” Kaley said good-naturedly. Kyle wondered if he could make Tess come 4 times. He was damn, sure gonna try now.
“Well, it sounded good,” Katie said. “I had to relieve some tension before I could take a nap.” She laughed.
“Sorry,” Maria smiled at her. Katie turned back to Tess and Kyle and started to talk to them about something as Kaley pulled Maria into the hall.
“Wanna smoke?” she asked. Maria nodded and followed her out to the balcony.
Meanwhile upstairs at Isabel’s room…
Michael walked into Isabel’s room and sat down in her computer chair. “Want something?” she asked, in a nicer tone that he had been used to as of late. Maybe she was getting better.
“Well, I wanted to tell you something. I’m moving here. About 15 minutes away from Hudson, and I wanted to let you know. I’ll be starting College in the spring at Radford.” He said looking her in the eye.
“Are you kidding me?” She asked, back to her cool tone. “What is she going to get you to do next? Carry her books to class? Michael, I thought you were your own person. I know you have a weak spot for love, but why don’t you find it before you start throwing away your principals for a piece of ass.” She bit out.
“Isabel.” He warned. “I don’t want to fight with you, but if you keep talking about Maria like that, this could get very ugly. The bottom line is that I’m moving here. I wanted you to know.” He said ready to leave, then he turned back around to face her. “This move isn’t about Maria. It’s about me. I was planning on moving here when I found out you got into Hudson. I want to do something with my life. I want to paint.” He admitted. “I want to learn and grow. I cannot live in a small town forever. It isn’t me. I’m not that person. I never was, a and if you think that, that is all I am. Some small town nit-wit that is only good at holding down a 8 dollar an hour job in some factory, then I guess you never knew me at all,” he said.
With that, he walked out the door and down the hall. Isabel didn’t say a word. She just stared at the empty space he left in the room.
Back on the balcony…
“So, besides the sex being out of this world, did you talk about anything else?” Kaley asked.
“We talked about a lot, actually. I shared some of my songs with him. He promised me he wouldn’t hurt me, and oddly, I believe him. I’m just going to go with it,” Maria said.
She sat in silence with her friend for a long moment thinking before turning back to Kaley, “I think I’m falling…in…in love with him,” she said almost frightened at the thought.
Kaley smiled at her. “And…”
“And I don’t know what to do,” Maria said starting to panic.
“I’m pretty positive that Michael is falling in love with you, if he hasn’t already. You know what I’m going to say…tell him how you feel.” Kaley laughed. She was beginning to sound like a broken record.
“Yeah,” Maria said, “I can do that,” she continued with a little more conviction. Though she was pretty positive that telling him that was not an option right this second.
When Maria and Kaley walked back into Tess’s room, Michael was back. Maria sat in his lap and wrapped her arms around him. “So, how did it go?” she asked a little nervous.
“Same old, same old. She’ll get over it. She always does,” Michael said, not wanting Maria ro worry about it. If Isabel wanted to be an idiot, let her, but he didn’t want it to hurt Maria.
“Well,” Kyle said stretching his arms over his head. “Kinda tired, aren’t you baby?” he asked Tess, who laughed at him. He really wasn’t subtle.
“Yeah, we better go too,” Katie said looking at her watch. “W & L party calls.”
Maria and Michael got up and followed them to the door, and before they got out, they heard Kyle asked Tess, “If Katie could head Maria and Michael, does that mean whoever is under us and hear when we have sex?”
Michael’s eyes went wide as Maria pulled him out of the room and shut the door. “She heard us?” he nearly screeched. Maria grinned and pulled him up the stairs.
“Yeah, apparently we turned her on,” she laughed. Michael’s eyes grew about 10 sizes. “Oh, common, it was bound to happen, these walls are paper thin,” she laughed. Michael took a deep breath and realized that having a bunch of sex deprived girls hear him make love to his girl-friend was something she was gonna have to get used to.
******
The next morning/afternoon, Maria and Michael went to Brunch with their friends. They saw Isabel and Courtney sitting with some of the ‘pearl girls’ but they seemed to be ignoring them, and Maria rather liked it that way.
“So, you got any plans today, babe?” Michael asked Maria as they made their way back to the dorm.
“Nope, why?” she asked unlocking her door and letting them into her room.
“I want to take you out. On a real date,” he said with a smile. “I realized last night that we have never been out on a date, and I wanted to do something special for you,” he said pulling her to him and kissing her deeply.
Mara grinned from ear to ear. If any other guy had thrown that line at her, she would have probably gagged from sappyness, but as Michael asked her on a date, she smiled and kissed him hard. He was so sweet, but somehow it wasn’t turning her off, like it usually would. “Well, that sounds great!” she said. “Where are we going?”
Michael kissed her again and said, “Nope, it’s a surprise.” She laughed at him and they tumbled onto the bed.
“I hate surprises,” she said.
“I know, but that’s the way it is,” he returned. He loved this back and forth banter. It wasn’t something he was used to. Every relationship he had been in had been 100% serious all the time. He loved the back and forth quips he shared with Maria.
“Well, ok,” she sighed dramatically. When Michael pulled away and stood up, she pushed her lip out in a pout. “Hey, where are you going?” she asked.
He smiled at her. “Got some things to take care of for our date tonight.” He answered. “But I will pick you up at 7:00 sharp.” He replied. “Dress up.”
Maria grinned at him as he left. What the hell was going on with her? Her boyfriend was planning a romantic evening, and instead of wanting to run as fast as she could the other direction, she just wanted to pull him in closer and devour his entire body. Damn, she was in way over her head.
*******
She spent the rest of the day lounging in Katie and Kaley’s room. Tess and Kyle had been ‘busy’ basically all day.
As she applied the last finishing touches to her make up, she looked in the mirror approvingly. She looked hot, and she knew it. She wanted to look god for Michael. That was another strange thing. She always looked good, but usually, she never cared what her dates thought, but as she spent hours in front of her closet, she found that she DID care what Michael thought, and she wanted to wear something that would make him have to control the urge to lay her out on the table and fuck her like he had last night and the day before.
At 7:00 on the dot, Michael knocked on the door, and when Maria opened it to him, he handed her a bouquet of flowers. This was yet another gesture that Maria had always found repulsive, but my Michael it was sexy. “You look beautiful,” he breathed taking the site of her in. She had worn a low-cut black sweater, and a tight A-line skirt that accentuated her shapely hips.
“Thank you, Michael.” She said reaching up to kiss him. “You look pretty damn sexy yourself,” she breathed into his ear. She felt him shudder, and then he took her hand.
“You ready to go?” he asked. She nodded and followed him out the building and to his car.
When they got the restaurant, she had to admit, she was slightly confused. He took her to a place called ‘Mama Carolla’s.’ It was her favorite restaurant in town, but it was very expensive. There was no other Italian food like it, though. “Michael, this is really expensive,” she said knowing he needed to watch him money.”
He leaned in and kissed her as they walked through the door, “You’re worth it, baby,” he said with a smile. She couldn’t help but smile back. Why was she being turned on by all of these cheesy lines? Oh that’s right, because HE actually meant them, unlike most guys, and she was falling head over heals in love with him.
Dinner was nice, and they talked for nearly 2 hours at the table. Michael told her about his schedule for the spring, and Maria told him how proud she was of him. It was hard to move from the only place you know as home.
They kept conversation mostly light. Michael still wanted to know so much more about Maria, but he knew that all of that would come in time. He just wanted tonight to be a fun night for both of them. “So, where to next?” Maria asked as they got back into his truck.
“Dammit, woman, it’s a surprise,” Michael said good-naturedly.
“Ok, ok,” she said with a chuckle. Then she realized where they were going. He pulled into the apartment complex that he now lived in, and turned off the car infront of his apartment.
“Michael, do you even have any furniture in here yet?” she asked.
Michael just smiled and opened her door for her, leading her up the path to his new door. When she walked inside the apartment, she is surprised to see the living room lit with beautiful candles. She didn’t know who he had come in and light them, but she really didn’t care. There was an asian sitting mat in the middle of the room that seemed to be made into a make-shift bed, with silk sheets and a down comforter. There was a bottle of Champagne chilling next to the ‘bed’ and chocolate covered strawberries in a bowl next to it.
Maria felt tears stinging her eyes, but kept them in as she took in the sight. It was beautiful. No one had ever done something like this before, and while she had a strong feeling that she wouldn’t appreciate a gesture like this from anyone but Michael, she was still in awe.
Michael looked at her nervously. He didn’t want to go over the top, but he wanted to try and show her how much she meant to him. To show her that he was not like every other guy who used her and left her. He was in if for the long haul, and these gestures were out of love, nothing more, nothing less. “Do you like it?” he asked.
“It’s beautiful Michael,” she said hugging him tightly.
“There is one more thing I want to show you,” he said awkwardly as he lead her to the bedroom, that she assumed would be his. He pushed open the door. It was bare except for a easel sitting the in middle of the room. It had a large canvas sitting in it, and Maria walked closer to it, to get a better look of the picture painted on it.
As she stepped up to it, she could see what it was. It was her, laying in her bed, naked. She was on her side, with one hand tucked under her face, as her hair was fanned out on the pillow behind her. One hand was laying lifeless on her stomach. The sheets of her bed barely covered her, as the swell of her naked hip was exposed along with one bare leg. At the angle she was laying, one breast was exposed, it’s nipple hard and yearning.
The tears Maria had been keeping in were now streaming down her face. She couldn’t hold them in any longer, nor did she want to. Michael wrapped his arms around her and turned her to face him, wiping the tears from her eyes, “Don’t cry, baby.” He said in a panic. He had never seen her cry, and he hoped to god it wasn’t his painting that made her cry.
She wrapped her arms tightly around him. “It’s so beautiful,” she said.
“It’s how I see you. That is what you looked like when you laid next to me after we made love,” he said. “You are beautiful.”
Maria leaned up and kissed him hard, pulling him out of the bedroom at the same time. She walked them over to the ‘bed’ in the living room, and they crashed into it, neither feeling the force of their fall, nor caring.
She made quick work of removing his shirt and as he pulled her over her head, he attacked her lace covered nipples. “Michael,” she breathed.
He removed her bra from her body and moved up her body to her lips, attacking them once more. He could never get enough of kissing her. She was intoxicating. She was his drug, and he never wanted to quit.
She, feeling her desire overwhelm her, quickly unbuttoned Michael’s pants, unzipped them and pulled them down, allowing him to removed them the rest of the way. “God Maria…” he breathed when she cupped his erection. He unzipped the skirt she was wearing and watched if fall from her hips.
“Touch me, Michael,” Maria begged, and he didn’t need to be asked twice. He pulled her lace panties off of her and while she laid back on the ‘bed’ he moved over her, running two fingers up and down her dripping wet heat. “Yess…” she hissed, he eyes falling shut for a moment.
She pulled his boxers off of him and gently stoked his cock. “I need you inside me,” she groaned, realizing that she could not last another minute without feeling his huge cock buried within her. She fumbled around for her purse, not remembering where she threw it, in frustration.
Michael leaned over next to the champagne and pulled out the little foil package she was looking for. He grinned at her. “I thought I was going to have to lose my mind,” Maria said kissing him as she took the condom from him and rolled it down his aching shaft. Then her face turned serious once more. “Please Michael…make love to me,” he begged.
Michael’s cock jumped at her choice of words. He had always thought of it as making love, but Maria lovingly referred to sex as: sex, fucking, sleeping together, etc. This time she asked him to make love to her. His heart soared. This was a step in the right direction.
He took his cock in his hands and guided it into her. “Yes…” she moaned as she felt him begin to push into her. There was nothing like the feeling of Michael thrusting into her for the first time.
“Maria…” he breathed, leaning down and kissing her as she completely entered her. He pulled out, and thrust back in gently. Taking his time. And for once, Maria let him.
She reveled in the feeling of him gently moving completely in and out of her. She knew this was not fucking. And orgasm was not the goal at the end of this race. He was making love to her, and she was letting him. She was not controlling this time. She wanted him to love her the way he wanted, and if this was how he wanted to make lover to her, she could do this all night.
Each time Michael pulled out, he would pull almost completely out, letting Maria’s pussy contract before he plunged right back into her. “Michael, oh my god,” she groaned as she ran her hands up and down his back. She wasn’t scratching this time, but rather, feeling his skin as if she had never touched it before.
He kissed her neck and chest gently as he thrust into her, stopping every so often at her mouth, where he would plunge his tongue into her, the way his cock was into her lower lips.
They continued like this, slow, gentle lovemaking for over an hour, until Maria moaned, “Michael, I can’t hold on much longer,” as she gripped his shoulders.
Michael sped up his thrusting, knowing that she needed to come as badly as he did. With each thrust his quickened his pace, and entered her more shallowly. “Oh god!” she groaned.
“Maria…oh yeah,” Michael moaned as he thrust into her deeper and deeper until he was plowing into her with all he had.
“Oh fuck, I’m gonna…oh don’t stop!” Maria moaned wrapping her legs tightly around Michael’s body.
As she came, her walls contracted around Michael, sending him off into his own orgasm. “Maria…oh god! YES!” he wailed as he came into the latex surrounding his cock.
They breathed hard, as Michael rolled over next to Maria, and brought her into his arm. Their breath evened out, and their heart rates returned to normal. Maria finally turned into Michael and wrapping her arms around his neck she kissed him. “Michael,” she started nervously.
“What, baby?” he asked caressing her cheek.
“I think I’m in love with you,” she said, scared to death of the words coming out of her mouth.
TBC…
Several Hours later, Maria’s eyes fluttered open and she noticed it was now dark outside. She looked up at Michael and smiled, as she gently shook him awake. He looked down at her and flashed her the sexiest smile she had ever seen. It was enough to make her weak in the knees all over again. “We need to get up and take a shower,” she said, kissing him lightly on the lips.
Michael had other plans though as he pulled her closer to him and deepened the kiss, delving his tongue into the hot cavern of her mouth. “Mmmm,” she moaned as she broke the kiss. “Now, we really have to get up,” she laughed as she got out of bed.
Michael watched her naked form rustle around in her dressers for a change of clothes and he could only admire the beautiful site of her. As she turned around, he saw a couple of dark hickeys on her body that he had left, and took an odd sense of pride in that.
Finally, he pushed himself out of bed and grabbed a towel. “Is this going to be a group shower?” he asked cocking an eyebrow at her.
She laughed at him. “What do you think?” she asked pulling him out of the dorm room and down the hall to the bathroom.
*****
When they were clean and dressed Michael and Maria made their way down to Tess’s room. Tess and Kyle probably thought they had gotten lost, as they had been in her room literally all day. Maria knocked lightly, and when Tess yelled for them to come in, she did.
“There you are!” Kyle said loudly. “We were about to send out a search party.”
“Yeah, well we got a little sidetracked,” Maria said with a grin she couldn’t hide. Tess watched Maria and Michael intently. They were radiant, and had grins on their faces that she could tell they were trying to cover. Oh yeah, they had most defiantly gotten sidetracked, she thought. She was so happy for both of them. That meant the conversation went well, and Maria finally opened up to Michael.
Kyle noticed a change in the two as well, but he loved giving his friend a hard time. “So, what was it that you got sidetracked doing?” he asked pretending to be oblivious. Tess elbowed him and Michael and Maria just laughed.
Tess moved some stuff off of the two computer chairs in her room and motioned for them to sit. Michael sat down, but before Maria could take the other seat, he pulled her into his lap and kissed her lightly. Maria giggled, and Tess noticed that it was the first time she had ever heard Maria DeLuca giggle like a school girl. She had it bad. “So, when are you officially moving, Michael?” Tess asked, sitting in Kyle’s lap.
“Well, actually I think I’m going to make a couple of trips this week, and be officially moved in by the weekend,” he said happily. If he was happy about moving before the events f the day had only served to make him downright impatient about the move.
“Awesome,” Tess said, “Need any help?”
“Well, Kyle here is going to come with me because he wanted to take some vacation time anyway, and I don’t have that much stuff.” Michael answered.
“We could help you unpack,” Maria said with a smile. She was making an effort to intimately link her life to Michael’s, at least in baby steps. This was a baby step for her.
Michael beemed at her, “That would be nice, baby,” he said kissing her once again. Kyle cleared his throat, and Tess once again elbowed him. He was either an idiot or a glutton for punishment, Maria thought.
Immediately, Katie and Kaley burst into the room. “There you are!” Katie said to Maria. “Haven’t seen you all day,” she grinned.
“Yeah, well…” Maria said happily. Michael gently lifted her up and sat her back down on the chair. “Where you going?” she asked.
“I think I’m going to bite the bullet and tell Izzy about the move,” he sighed. “It’s got to be done, and I’d rather get it out of the way.”
“Ok, want me to come?” Maria asked.
“Nope, I’ve got it. Be back soon,” he promised kissing her cheek. Kaley watched the two and smiled brightly. Things were defiantly looking up, and after what Katie had just told her, she was pretty sure they would one the path to happiness. They were so damn cute together it wasn’t even funny.
Katie turned dramatically to Maria, “So…wanna tell us anything?” she said cocking an eyebrow at her friend.
“Like what?” Maria asked faking ignorance.
“Oh, so that’s how it’s going to be,” Katie laughed. “Well, just so you know, I live right under you, and I could hear EVERYTHING you and Michael were ‘discussing,’’ she said with a laugh.
Maria turned about 10 shades of red. Tess realized she had never seen Maria blush either. “Really? What did you hear?” she asked, nervously.
“Hmmm, I heard the rhythmic bouncing of bed springs…some ‘oh fucks’ and a lot of moaning.” She said excitedly, “So…how was it…how many times did you do it…tell me everything!” she demanded.

“You lucky, lucky bitch!” Kaley said good-naturedly. Kyle wondered if he could make Tess come 4 times. He was damn, sure gonna try now.
“Well, it sounded good,” Katie said. “I had to relieve some tension before I could take a nap.” She laughed.

“Isabel.” He warned. “I don’t want to fight with you, but if you keep talking about Maria like that, this could get very ugly. The bottom line is that I’m moving here.

I want to do something with my life. I want to paint.” He admitted. “I want to learn and grow. I cannot live in a small town forever. It isn’t me. I’m not that person. I never was, a and if you think that, that is all I am. Some small town nit-wit that is only good at holding down a 8 dollar an hour job in some factory, then I guess you never knew me at all,” he said.

“I’m pretty positive that Michael is falling in love with you, if he hasn’t already. You know what I’m going to say…tell him how you feel.” Kaley laughed. She was beginning to sound like a broken record.
“Yeah,” Maria said, “I can do that,” she continued with a little more conviction. Though she was pretty positive that telling him that was not an option right this second.

When they got the restaurant, she had to admit, she was slightly confused. He took her to a place called ‘Mama Carolla’s.’ It was her favorite restaurant in town, but it was very expensive. There was no other Italian food like it, though. “Michael, this is really expensive,” she said knowing he needed to watch him money.”
He leaned in and kissed her as they walked through the door, “You’re worth it, baby,” he said with a smile. She couldn’t help but smile back. Why was she being turned on by all of these cheesy lines? Oh that’s right, because HE actually meant them, unlike most guys, and she was falling head over heals in love with him.
Dinner was nice, and they talked for nearly 2 hours at the table. Michael told her about his schedule for the spring, and Maria told him how proud she was of him. It was hard to move from the only place you know as home.
They kept conversation mostly light. Michael still wanted to know so much more about Maria, but he knew that all of that would come in time. He just wanted tonight to be a fun night for both of them. “So, where to next?” Maria asked as they got back into his truck.
“Dammit, woman, it’s a surprise,” Michael said good-naturedly.
“Ok, ok,” she said with a chuckle. Then she realized where they were going. He pulled into the apartment complex that he now lived in, and turned off the car infront of his apartment.
“Michael, do you even have any furniture in here yet?” she asked.
Michael just smiled and opened her door for her, leading her up the path to his new door. When she walked inside the apartment, she is surprised to see the living room lit with beautiful candles. She didn’t know who he had come in and light them, but she really didn’t care. There was an asian sitting mat in the middle of the room that seemed to be made into a make-shift bed, with silk sheets and a down comforter. There was a bottle of Champagne chilling next to the ‘bed’ and chocolate covered strawberries in a bowl next to it.
Maria felt tears stinging her eyes, but kept them in as she took in the sight. It was beautiful. No one had ever done something like this before, and while she had a strong feeling that she wouldn’t appreciate a gesture like this from anyone but Michael, she was still in awe.
Michael looked at her nervously. He didn’t want to go over the top, but he wanted to try and show her how much she meant to him. To show her that he was not like every other guy who used her and left her. He was in if for the long haul, and these gestures were out of love, nothing more, nothing less. “Do you like it?” he asked.
“It’s beautiful Michael,” she said hugging him tightly.
“There is one more thing I want to show you,” he said awkwardly as he lead her to the bedroom, that she assumed would be his. He pushed open the door. It was bare except for a easel sitting the in middle of the room. It had a large canvas sitting in it, and Maria walked closer to it, to get a better look of the picture painted on it.
As she stepped up to it, she could see what it was. It was her, laying in her bed, naked. She was on her side, with one hand tucked under her face, as her hair was fanned out on the pillow behind her. One hand was laying lifeless on her stomach. The sheets of her bed barely covered her, as the swell of her naked hip was exposed along with one bare leg. At the angle she was laying, one breast was exposed, it’s nipple hard and yearning.
The tears Maria had been keeping in were now streaming down her face. She couldn’t hold them in any longer, nor did she want to. Michael wrapped his arms around her and turned her to face him, wiping the tears from her eyes, “Don’t cry, baby.” He said in a panic. He had never seen her cry, and he hoped to god it wasn’t his painting that made her cry.
She wrapped her arms tightly around him. “It’s so beautiful,” she said.
“It’s how I see you. That is what you looked like when you laid next to me after we made love,” he said. “You are beautiful.”
Maria leaned up and kissed him hard, pulling him out of the bedroom at the same time. She walked them over to the ‘bed’ in the living room, and they crashed into it, neither feeling the force of their fall, nor caring.
She made quick work of removing his shirt and as he pulled her over her head, he attacked her lace covered nipples. “Michael,” she breathed.
He removed her bra from her body and moved up her body to her lips, attacking them once more. He could never get enough of kissing her. She was intoxicating. She was his drug, and he never wanted to quit.
She, feeling her desire overwhelm her, quickly unbuttoned Michael’s pants, unzipped them and pulled them down, allowing him to removed them the rest of the way. “God Maria…” he breathed when she cupped his erection. He unzipped the skirt she was wearing and watched if fall from her hips.
“Touch me, Michael,” Maria begged, and he didn’t need to be asked twice. He pulled her lace panties off of her and while she laid back on the ‘bed’ he moved over her, running two fingers up and down her dripping wet heat. “Yess…” she hissed, he eyes falling shut for a moment.
She pulled his boxers off of him and gently stoked his cock. “I need you inside me,” she groaned, realizing that she could not last another minute without feeling his huge cock buried within her. She fumbled around for her purse, not remembering where she threw it, in frustration.
Michael leaned over next to the champagne and pulled out the little foil package she was looking for. He grinned at her. “I thought I was going to have to lose my mind,” Maria said kissing him as she took the condom from him and rolled it down his aching shaft. Then her face turned serious once more. “Please Michael…make love to me,” he begged.
Michael’s cock jumped at her choice of words. He had always thought of it as making love, but Maria lovingly referred to sex as: sex, fucking, sleeping together, etc. This time she asked him to make love to her. His heart soared. This was a step in the right direction.
He took his cock in his hands and guided it into her. “Yes…” she moaned as she felt him begin to push into her. There was nothing like the feeling of Michael thrusting into her for the first time.
“Maria…” he breathed, leaning down and kissing her as she completely entered her. He pulled out, and thrust back in gently. Taking his time. And for once, Maria let him.
She reveled in the feeling of him gently moving completely in and out of her. She knew this was not fucking. And orgasm was not the goal at the end of this race. He was making love to her, and she was letting him. She was not controlling this time. She wanted him to love her the way he wanted, and if this was how he wanted to make lover to her, she could do this all night.
Each time Michael pulled out, he would pull almost completely out, letting Maria’s pussy contract before he plunged right back into her. “Michael, oh my god,” she groaned as she ran her hands up and down his back. She wasn’t scratching this time, but rather, feeling his skin as if she had never touched it before.
He kissed her neck and chest gently as he thrust into her, stopping every so often at her mouth, where he would plunge his tongue into her, the way his cock was into her lower lips.
They continued like this, slow, gentle lovemaking for over an hour, until Maria moaned, “Michael, I can’t hold on much longer,” as she gripped his shoulders.
Michael sped up his thrusting, knowing that she needed to come as badly as he did. With each thrust his quickened his pace, and entered her more shallowly. “Oh god!” she groaned.
“Maria…oh yeah,” Michael moaned as he thrust into her deeper and deeper until he was plowing into her with all he had.
“Oh fuck, I’m gonna…oh don’t stop!” Maria moaned wrapping her legs tightly around Michael’s body.
As she came, her walls contracted around Michael, sending him off into his own orgasm. “Maria…oh god! YES!” he wailed as he came into the latex surrounding his cock.
They breathed hard, as Michael rolled over next to Maria, and brought her into his arm. Their breath evened out, and their heart rates returned to normal. Maria finally turned into Michael and wrapping her arms around his neck she kissed him. “Michael,” she started nervously.
“What, baby?” he asked caressing her cheek.
“I think I’m in love with you,” she said, scared to death of the words coming out of her mouth.

Chapter 27
Michael looked back into Maria’s eyes, in shock and awe. He almost thought he heard her wrong, but when he saw in her eyes, fear, confusion, and most of all love, his lips turned up into the most beautiful smile she had ever seen. He leaned into her and kissed her with all the passion he possessed, and breathed against her lips, “I KNOW I’m in love with you.”
Tears were forming in both of their eyes as Maria grabbed his face and pulled him into her again. She couldn’t believe the emotions that were coursing through her body. She had never felt like this before. It was euphoric. As she kissed him, he pulled her naked body, tight to his and she felt at home for the first time in her life. In his arms, she felt happy, comfortable, and safe. “Michael, I’m scared.” She said honestly, looking back at him. “But I’m going to go with this. I’ve never felt like this before, and it scares me.”
Michael lightly ran his fingers across her cheeks, wiping some stray tears that had fallen from her eyes. “I know you are, but I love you, and we are together. Just let it happen,” he gently said.
Maria nodded and kissed him again, this time, pushing him back against the mat as she climbed on top of him. She straddled his waist as she planted light kisses on his face and neck. “Maria…” he breathed, not knowing his body could feel that good from just kisses.
“Michael…” she nearly moaned as she took his hard cock into her masterful hands. She rolled a second condom onto him, and placed him and her entrance and descended on him, throwing her head back as he filled her. She leaned forward and kissed him softly as she moved up and down his shaft, keeping her eyes open to look into his.
They stared into each other’s souls as Maria made loved to Michael. They never brke their gaze, even to blink, for fear that this perfect moment would be gone. “I love you,” she whispered as she breath hitched. She knew that she was almost ready to come, and she could feel his urgency as well. It was like she could feel him completely. She knew what he was thinking and feeling, and she knew that when he said he loved her, he meant it.
“Maria, I love you so much,” he groaned out as he came.
At the feeling of his cock pulsing in her, Maria came as well. It wasn’t the hardest she had ever hit and orgasm, but she moaned his name as she experience her most INTENSE orgasm to date.
She caught her breath and rolled over next to him. She was exhausted, and he knew it. He kissed her lips lightly as he propped himself on one elbow to watch her sleep. He smiled as he saw her breath even out, and once he knew she was completely out he wrapped his arms around her and joined her.
*****
The next day, Michael had to leave. He was going to go back home for a day or two and Kyle was staying at Hudson with Tess. When he came back, he would bring some stuff with him, pick up Kyle and begin making trips. The more the thought about it, the more he realized, he could really move in a day or two. No need to stretch it out, he had already quit his job, and it wasn’t like he was dying to stay home.
When he left, Kyle and Tess walked with her back to the dorm. “So, what do you want to do today?” Tess asked as they approached her room. She wanted to talk to Maria about her date, and find out why the girl looked down-right giddy. She guess it envolved sex, but senses there was more.
“Hang out, I guess. I was up late last night,” she grinned.
“Wanna tell me about it?” she laughed. Kyle looked at Maria intently. He didn’t want to let them know he was just as interested in Maria’s happiness. Not only, did he want to know what Michael had done to make her so happy all the time, so he could in turn do the same for Tess, but he cared a great deal about maria. She had quickly become one of his good friends and he could see why everyone in a 50 mile radius was so attracted to her. She was magnetic.
“Well,” Maria blushed. There she was, blushing again, “I’d love to, but I think we better get Katie and Kaley in here, or I’ll have to tell the story 2 more times.” She laughed. Tess lighed as well and they walked across the hall to get Katie and Kaley.
When Kaley opened her door, she knew immediately that Mara had news for her. “Tess wants to hear about the date, so I figured, might as well tell you all at the same time,” Maria grinned.
Kaley smiled about 10 feet wide and called for Katie. They all walked back over to Tess’s room and sat down on her bed. Kyle took a computer chair and tried to look aloof. “So…What happened?” Tess asked, as Maria hadn’t begun speaking.
“Ok, well first, he took me to Mama Carollas,” Maria said with a smile.
“The boy is good.” Katie said. “How did he know to take you there?” Tess blushed slightly, and they all knew she had told him.
“Way to go, Tess,” Kaley said giving her friend a high five.
“Ok, then he took me back to the apartment that he just bought.” Maria said, “And this is where it gets weird.”
“Why weird?” Tess asked. She didn’t like the sound of that. Kyle didn’t either. But he wasn’t listening, of course.
“Well h e had set up this bed, with silk sheets, and stuff. He ahd a chilled bottle of Champaign, and chocolate covered strawberries there, which we didn’t get to I might add,” she smirked. “But usually that kind of thing turns me off.” She had Kyle’s full attention now. He didn’t know that there were actually girls in this world who didn’t like that romantic stuff.
“But with Michael, it just made me want him more,” Maria explained.
“Well, it’s a lot different being treated like a goddess when you are with someone that you see as a god,” Kaley said with a smile. Maria smiled back.
“Anyway,” she continued, “he took me back to his bedroom where he showed me a painting that he had done. I swear to god it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. It was of me. He pained me as I slept after we made love the first time. And…I cried,” Maria said.
The room turned into silent gasps. Maria DeLuca cried over something real. Sure, she was a weepy bitch when it came to movies, but that is because she could be detatched from them. They weren’t real, but when it came to actual emotions about real things, Maria was generally cut off. Not to mention that they were overly impressed with the fact that Michael had spent his day painting a picture of Maria. “Wow,” Katie said.
“Ohhh,” Kaley gushed. The fact that Maria had used the term, ‘made love’ did not go unnoticed by her.
“That is beautiful,” Tess said, almost on the verge of tears. Kyle wanted the girls reactions. He knew that Michael dabbled into art, but he didn’t know if he was actually good because Michael had never shown him anything. Kyle suspected that was because Michael was afraid that Kyle was like every other asshole in their town and wouldn’t understand. But Kyle understood. He thought it was great that Michael wanted to paint.
“So…then what happened?” Katie asked, wanting to get to the sex.
“Well, if a man painting the most beautiful picture of you doesn’t turn you on, then honey you are an Ice Burge,” she laughed. “I grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him back into the living room, where I immediately took all of his clothes off.” Maria explained.
“So, how was the sex this time? Getting old yet?” Katie asked.
Maria laughed. She remembered a time when she said that she didn’t see the point in investing in a relationship for sex, because after the first fire times, it looses it’s spark. Damn had she been wrong about that with Michael. “Ummm that would be a no. Again, the most amazing sex ever. We did it for an hour and a half!” she boasted.
“How many times in an hour and a half?” Katie asked, suspiciously.
“No, I mean one time, an hour and a half. My body was on fire,” Maria said fanning herself.
“ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?” Tess nearly screeched. Kyle looked at her amused and sad at the same time. He would most defiantly have to see if HE could hold up that long.
“Yeah, I’m serious.” Maria said. Then she took a deep breath, “but this is where the night reached it’s climax, no pun intended.” She looked at Kaley and said, “I did it.” Everyone else was slightly confused, but Kaley knew what she was talking about. “I told him that I thought I was in love with him,” Maria blushed.
Tess nearly knocked Maria over as she ran and jumped into her arms. “Oh My God! I’m so happy for you!” she gushed, her eyes wide as she smiled bigger than Maria had ever seen her smile.
Kyle watched. Michael was a lucky man, and he knew that his friend knew it. Maria didn’t give her heart out to anyone, but somehow Michael had managed to take it from her, and he couldn’t’ have been happier for them both.
Kaley and Katie joined the group hug and congratulated her. “So, what did he say?” Kaley finally asked.
Maria smiled, remembering, “He said that he KNEW he loved me and I told him I was scared, and he told me just to go with it. So I did. Then I fucked his brains out.” She laughed.
“Nice.” Kyle couldn’t help but said with a smirk on his face. The girls laughed out loud at him.
*****
Two days went by relatively quickly. Maria was busy with school, and Michael had called her about 5 times a day, but it was finally Wednesday, and he was moving in.
It had been nice having Kyle around as well. He was a fun guy, and he was very supportive of Maria and Michael. Maria could tell that Kyle was a special guy. He deserved Tess, and he was a true friend to Michael. She wondered how he was going to get by when Michael moved.
“Michael’s here,” Kyle called to her. “I’m going to go meet him at his truck. Are you two coming with us?” Kyle asked indicating the Tess and Maria.
“No, we are going to go to lunch and the mall really quick then drive over there after.” Maria said. “As much as the two of you fuck around, I bet you only have one box moved when we get there.” She teased.
“How would you like to bet on that?” Kyle smirked.
“You two are like brother and sister,” Tess huffed. “I cant take you anywhere,” she giggled. Maria rolled her eyes and Kyle walked down the stairs to meet Michael.
******
About 4 hours later, Maria and Tess walked up to Michael’s door and rang the doorbell. Just as they had suspected, his truck outside was still pretty full. Kyle answered the door and the two girl walked inside, noticing that Michael was sitting on the couch watching TV. “Oh I so wish I would have bet you today,” Maria grinned as she hugged Kyle.
She plopped down on the couch next to Michael and he easily wrapped his arm around her. “You don’t have to ring the bell,” he said softly. Then he pulled out a key from his pocket and handed it to her. “It just so that you can get in if you need to,” he was sure to say. He didn’t want her to think he was asking her to move in or anything.
Maria gulped as she looked at the key, but calmly coached herself into accepting it. More babysteps toward intimacy for Maria. She smiled and climbed into his lap, kissing him softly. “Thank you,” she said.
Michael breathed a silent sigh of relief. He had truly been afraid that his making a key for her was going to set them back. But all was fine now, and as he felt Maria’s arms wrap around him, he couldn’t think about moving anymore. All he could think about was his Maria sitting comfortably in his lap. He didn’t care if his stuff stayed in the truck for a year. “Michael,” Kyle said snapping his fingers at his friend. “I know we would all like to stay and stare at DeLuca, but we have to go!” he said. ‘We have to move this stuff in, or it wont get done. Remember, you have another trip to make on Saturday!” he reminded. Michael was going to go back home that night, and spend some time with his mom before officially moving in on Saturday.
Michael reluctantly pulled out of Maria’s embrace and set her back on the couch, following Kyle out the door.
******
About 3 hours later, the stuff in the trunk was moved inside, and Michael and Kyle threw themselves down on the couch, tired. Maria and Tess sat next to their boyfriends, rubbing their backs gently. “I could get used to this, Guerin,” Kyle said with a smirk.
“What do you have left to move, baby?” Maria asked.
“I’ve still got my mattress, desk, and about 2 boxes of DVDs,” he said. Maria nodded and placed her arm on his chest. “Well, what if Tess, Kyle, and I unpack what you have already moved while you are in Tennessee, and then all you have to do is put the mattress on the bed, move the desk in and put the DVD’s in the rack. It will give you less to do when you get home on Saturday.” She liked calling this his home.
“Baby, you don’t have to,” he said.
But before Maria could even answer, Tess, said, “We want to.” With a big smiled. Then she looked at Kyle, “Don’t we sweetie.”
Kyle didn’t really care as long as he was with Tess so he shrugged and nodded. “It’s going to be fun,” Maria said with a smile. “You mind if we crash here while we work?”
“Nope, make yourselves at home,” Michael smiled honestly.
He stayed their with his friends for another hour before finally getting up to drive home. He didn’t want to, but he had to.
When he left, Maria’s lips turned up into a wicked grin. “Oh, DeLuca, what have you got up your sleeve?” kyle asked warily. He didn’t like that look.
“Ok, I need to know if you guys are with me. I’m going to turn this apartment into a home.” She said.
Tess looked excited, “What do you mean?” she asked.
“I’m going to decorate. Now, I do not mean like I would want it, because then the whole apartment would be pink, but I just don’t want Michael living in an all white boring apartment. I want him to feel comfortable and at home.” She said excitedly.
“We are with you,” Tess said.
“Thanks for answering for me, dear,” Kyle said good-naturedly as he wrapped his arm around her. “That sound cool, and I’m sure he would like that, but there is one rule. I have to approve everything you do to the apartment, because I have a feeling that Michael isn’t going to want hot pink sheets,” he said with a laugh. Maria playfully slapped him.
Soon, they got to work unpacking Michael’s stuff.
*******
By Saturday, Maria, Tess, Kaley, Katie, her new friend Sarah and Kyle were beyond exhausted. She had invited Katie and Kaley to come over to help, and they were more than willing. Sarah, who was Tess’s neighbor, heard them talking about it, and asked to help as well. Maria had come to adore Sarah. They really hit it off, and enjoyed talking about Literature and Politics together. Maria had to skip two classes to get all the work done she wanted to the apartment. But it was finally finished, and everyone was quite proud of their work. Kyle was SURE Michael would love it.
They all waited in his apartment for him to arrive, and Maria couldn’t wait to see him, and his reaction to his new apartment.
They didn’t have to wait long, because soon their heard keys in the door and then saw Michael walk into the apartment. “Welcome home,” Maria said getting up to kiss him. He kissed her back with a smiled and then looked up and noticed his new apartment.
“Oh My God!” he breathed looking around him. Maria watched his reaction, hopping he liked what she had done. The walls of the living room had been painted tope, except for the one wall leading to the kitchen, which was burgundy. The kitchen was a light grey with burgundy accents. The hall leading to the two bedrooms and bathroom was the same burgundy as the one wall in the living room, and as she led him down to his bedroom, he saw that she had painted his room dark blue on two walls and light blue on the other two walls. His bathroom was light yellow, and flowed nicely with the blue of his bedroom.
But that wasn’t all. He also noticed that she had framed several prints, and hung them artistically through the apartment. She had two Van Gogh’s, Two Jackson Pollack’s, a Monet, a Renoir, and nice modern paintings, that he couldn’t name the artist. There was also a tapestry hanging on a bare wall in the living room. He looked in awe at his apartment that actually looked like a home. There was a new coffee table, and he pointed to it, “Where…How did you get that?” he asked, hopping she hadn’t spent too much money on him.
“Well,” Maria said wrapping her arms around him, “I found if at good will and Kyle and I refurnished it,” she smiled. “You like it?”
“I love it, baby.” He said kissing her. “Why…why did you do all of this?” he asked, looking around his place once more. Everything looked so nice. His kitchen was stocked, his stuff was in order. He didn’t know what to say.
“Well, I wanted you to have a home here. I know you are incapable of decorating yourself,” she laughed, “so I thought I’d help you. I’m glad you like it. And look, no pink! Even your sheets aren’t pink,” she laughed.
He grinned at her. She amazing him. Then he looked up and noticed there were other people there. “Oh,” Maria said, “You know everyone but sarah,” she said pointing to the short blond girl next to Tess on the couch.
Sarah stood up and walked over to him, extending her hand, “Hi, I’m Sarah. The newest member to the group, I guess,” she chuckled.
Michael smiled at her, “Michael. It’s nice to meet you.”
Kyle helped Michael move in his mattress, and Desk, and everyone helped him get it situated and then they left. “Ok, well we will leave you to it,” Kyle said getting up.
“Have a good night,” Tess said with a smirk.
“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do,” Katie quipped, smacking Maria on the ass. Maria laughed at her. That pretty much left her options open, she thought. Kaley hugged and kissed Maria, and Sarah said her goodbyes as well.
When they were gone, Michael turned back to Maria, “You amaze me,” he smiled at her. “But you didn’t spend too much money on this did you?”
She waved him off. In reality she had only spent about 200 bucks on everything, and he was well worth it. “Nope, I’m a thrift shopper. A Taurus, remember?” she said kissing him.
“I recall Katie saying something about the Taurus being the most sexual sign in the Zodiac,” he quipped, “You know anything about that?” he grinned.
Maria leaned up and whispered in his ear. “How about we put the new sheets on your bed, and you can test the theory yourself,” she said.
Michael about ran to his bedroom, pulling a laughing Maria behind him.
TBC…
Michael looked back into Maria’s eyes, in shock and awe. He almost thought he heard her wrong, but when he saw in her eyes, fear, confusion, and most of all love, his lips turned up into the most beautiful smile she had ever seen. He leaned into her and kissed her with all the passion he possessed, and breathed against her lips, “I KNOW I’m in love with you.”

She rolled a second condom onto him, and placed him and her entrance and descended on him, throwing her head back as he filled her. She leaned forward and kissed him softly as she moved up and down his shaft, keeping her eyes open to look into his.
They stared into each other’s souls as Maria made loved to Michael. They never brke their gaze, even to blink, for fear that this perfect moment would be gone. “I love you,” she whispered as she breath hitched. She knew that she was almost ready to come, and she could feel his urgency as well. It was like she could feel him completely. She knew what he was thinking and feeling, and she knew that when he said he loved her, he meant it.
“Maria, I love you so much,” he groaned out as he came.
At the feeling of his cock pulsing in her, Maria came as well. It wasn’t the hardest she had ever hit and orgasm, but she moaned his name as she experience her most INTENSE orgasm to date.
She caught her breath and rolled over next to him. She was exhausted, and he knew it. He kissed her lips lightly as he propped himself on one elbow to watch her sleep. He smiled as he saw her breath even out, and once he knew she was completely out he wrapped his arms around her and joined her.

The next day, Michael had to leave. He was going to go back home for a day or two and Kyle was staying at Hudson with Tess.

He ahd a chilled bottle of Champaign, and chocolate covered strawberries there, which we didn’t get to I might add,” she smirked. “But usually that kind of thing turns me off.” She had Kyle’s full attention now. He didn’t know that there were actually girls in this world who didn’t like that romantic stuff.
“But with Michael, it just made me want him more,” Maria explained.
“Well, it’s a lot different being treated like a goddess when you are with someone that you see as a god,” Kaley said with a smile. Maria smiled back.
“Anyway,” she continued, “he took me back to his bedroom where he showed me a painting that he had done. I swear to god it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. It was of me. He pained me as I slept after we made love the first time. And…I cried,” Maria said.
The room turned into silent gasps. Maria DeLuca cried over something real. Sure, she was a weepy bitch when it came to movies, but that is because she could be detatched from them. They weren’t real, but when it came to actual emotions about real things, Maria was generally cut off. Not to mention that they were overly impressed with the fact that Michael had spent his day painting a picture of Maria. “Wow,” Katie said.
“Ohhh,” Kaley gushed. The fact that Maria had used the term, ‘made love’ did not go unnoticed by her.
“That is beautiful,” Tess said, almost on the verge of tears. Kyle wanted the girls reactions. He knew that Michael dabbled into art, but he didn’t know if he was actually good because Michael had never shown him anything. Kyle suspected that was because Michael was afraid that Kyle was like every other asshole in their town and wouldn’t understand. But Kyle understood. He thought it was great that Michael wanted to paint.
“So…then what happened?” Katie asked, wanting to get to the sex.
“Well, if a man painting the most beautiful picture of you doesn’t turn you on, then honey you are an Ice Burge,” she laughed. “I grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him back into the living room, where I immediately took all of his clothes off.” Maria explained.
“So, how was the sex this time? Getting old yet?” Katie asked.
Maria laughed. She remembered a time when she said that she didn’t see the point in investing in a relationship for sex, because after the first fire times, it looses it’s spark. Damn had she been wrong about that with Michael. “Ummm that would be a no. Again, the most amazing sex ever. We did it for an hour and a half!” she boasted.
“How many times in an hour and a half?” Katie asked, suspiciously.
“No, I mean one time, an hour and a half. My body was on fire,” Maria said fanning herself.
“ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?” Tess nearly screeched. Kyle looked at her amused and sad at the same time. He would most defiantly have to see if HE could hold up that long.
“Yeah, I’m serious.” Maria said. Then she took a deep breath, “but this is where the night reached it’s climax, no pun intended.” She looked at Kaley and said, “I did it.” Everyone else was slightly confused, but Kaley knew what she was talking about. “I told him that I thought I was in love with him,” Maria blushed.
Tess nearly knocked Maria over as she ran and jumped into her arms. “Oh My God! I’m so happy for you!” she gushed, her eyes wide as she smiled bigger than Maria had ever seen her smile.
Kyle watched. Michael was a lucky man, and he knew that his friend knew it. Maria didn’t give her heart out to anyone, but somehow Michael had managed to take it from her, and he couldn’t’ have been happier for them both.
Kaley and Katie joined the group hug and congratulated her. “So, what did he say?” Kaley finally asked.
Maria smiled, remembering, “He said that he KNEW he loved me and I told him I was scared, and he told me just to go with it. So I did. Then I fucked his brains out.” She laughed.
“Nice.” Kyle couldn’t help but said with a smirk on his face. The girls laughed out loud at him.
*****
Two days went by relatively quickly. Maria was busy with school, and Michael had called her about 5 times a day, but it was finally Wednesday, and he was moving in.
It had been nice having Kyle around as well. He was a fun guy, and he was very supportive of Maria and Michael. Maria could tell that Kyle was a special guy. He deserved Tess, and he was a true friend to Michael. She wondered how he was going to get by when Michael moved.
“Michael’s here,” Kyle called to her. “I’m going to go meet him at his truck. Are you two coming with us?” Kyle asked indicating the Tess and Maria.
“No, we are going to go to lunch and the mall really quick then drive over there after.” Maria said. “As much as the two of you fuck around, I bet you only have one box moved when we get there.” She teased.
“How would you like to bet on that?” Kyle smirked.
“You two are like brother and sister,” Tess huffed. “I cant take you anywhere,” she giggled. Maria rolled her eyes and Kyle walked down the stairs to meet Michael.
******
About 4 hours later, Maria and Tess walked up to Michael’s door and rang the doorbell. Just as they had suspected, his truck outside was still pretty full. Kyle answered the door and the two girl walked inside, noticing that Michael was sitting on the couch watching TV. “Oh I so wish I would have bet you today,” Maria grinned as she hugged Kyle.
She plopped down on the couch next to Michael and he easily wrapped his arm around her. “You don’t have to ring the bell,” he said softly. Then he pulled out a key from his pocket and handed it to her. “It just so that you can get in if you need to,” he was sure to say. He didn’t want her to think he was asking her to move in or anything.
Maria gulped as she looked at the key, but calmly coached herself into accepting it. More babysteps toward intimacy for Maria. She smiled and climbed into his lap, kissing him softly. “Thank you,” she said.
Michael breathed a silent sigh of relief. He had truly been afraid that his making a key for her was going to set them back. But all was fine now, and as he felt Maria’s arms wrap around him, he couldn’t think about moving anymore. All he could think about was his Maria sitting comfortably in his lap. He didn’t care if his stuff stayed in the truck for a year. “Michael,” Kyle said snapping his fingers at his friend. “I know we would all like to stay and stare at DeLuca, but we have to go!” he said. ‘We have to move this stuff in, or it wont get done. Remember, you have another trip to make on Saturday!” he reminded. Michael was going to go back home that night, and spend some time with his mom before officially moving in on Saturday.
Michael reluctantly pulled out of Maria’s embrace and set her back on the couch, following Kyle out the door.
******
About 3 hours later, the stuff in the trunk was moved inside, and Michael and Kyle threw themselves down on the couch, tired. Maria and Tess sat next to their boyfriends, rubbing their backs gently. “I could get used to this, Guerin,” Kyle said with a smirk.
“What do you have left to move, baby?” Maria asked.
“I’ve still got my mattress, desk, and about 2 boxes of DVDs,” he said. Maria nodded and placed her arm on his chest. “Well, what if Tess, Kyle, and I unpack what you have already moved while you are in Tennessee, and then all you have to do is put the mattress on the bed, move the desk in and put the DVD’s in the rack. It will give you less to do when you get home on Saturday.” She liked calling this his home.
“Baby, you don’t have to,” he said.
But before Maria could even answer, Tess, said, “We want to.” With a big smiled. Then she looked at Kyle, “Don’t we sweetie.”
Kyle didn’t really care as long as he was with Tess so he shrugged and nodded. “It’s going to be fun,” Maria said with a smile. “You mind if we crash here while we work?”
“Nope, make yourselves at home,” Michael smiled honestly.
He stayed their with his friends for another hour before finally getting up to drive home. He didn’t want to, but he had to.
When he left, Maria’s lips turned up into a wicked grin. “Oh, DeLuca, what have you got up your sleeve?” kyle asked warily. He didn’t like that look.
“Ok, I need to know if you guys are with me. I’m going to turn this apartment into a home.” She said.
Tess looked excited, “What do you mean?” she asked.
“I’m going to decorate. Now, I do not mean like I would want it, because then the whole apartment would be pink, but I just don’t want Michael living in an all white boring apartment. I want him to feel comfortable and at home.” She said excitedly.
“We are with you,” Tess said.
“Thanks for answering for me, dear,” Kyle said good-naturedly as he wrapped his arm around her. “That sound cool, and I’m sure he would like that, but there is one rule. I have to approve everything you do to the apartment, because I have a feeling that Michael isn’t going to want hot pink sheets,” he said with a laugh. Maria playfully slapped him.
Soon, they got to work unpacking Michael’s stuff.
*******
By Saturday, Maria, Tess, Kaley, Katie, her new friend Sarah and Kyle were beyond exhausted. She had invited Katie and Kaley to come over to help, and they were more than willing. Sarah, who was Tess’s neighbor, heard them talking about it, and asked to help as well. Maria had come to adore Sarah. They really hit it off, and enjoyed talking about Literature and Politics together. Maria had to skip two classes to get all the work done she wanted to the apartment. But it was finally finished, and everyone was quite proud of their work. Kyle was SURE Michael would love it.
They all waited in his apartment for him to arrive, and Maria couldn’t wait to see him, and his reaction to his new apartment.
They didn’t have to wait long, because soon their heard keys in the door and then saw Michael walk into the apartment. “Welcome home,” Maria said getting up to kiss him. He kissed her back with a smiled and then looked up and noticed his new apartment.
“Oh My God!” he breathed looking around him. Maria watched his reaction, hopping he liked what she had done. The walls of the living room had been painted tope, except for the one wall leading to the kitchen, which was burgundy. The kitchen was a light grey with burgundy accents. The hall leading to the two bedrooms and bathroom was the same burgundy as the one wall in the living room, and as she led him down to his bedroom, he saw that she had painted his room dark blue on two walls and light blue on the other two walls. His bathroom was light yellow, and flowed nicely with the blue of his bedroom.
But that wasn’t all. He also noticed that she had framed several prints, and hung them artistically through the apartment. She had two Van Gogh’s, Two Jackson Pollack’s, a Monet, a Renoir, and nice modern paintings, that he couldn’t name the artist. There was also a tapestry hanging on a bare wall in the living room. He looked in awe at his apartment that actually looked like a home. There was a new coffee table, and he pointed to it, “Where…How did you get that?” he asked, hopping she hadn’t spent too much money on him.
“Well,” Maria said wrapping her arms around him, “I found if at good will and Kyle and I refurnished it,” she smiled. “You like it?”
“I love it, baby.” He said kissing her. “Why…why did you do all of this?” he asked, looking around his place once more. Everything looked so nice. His kitchen was stocked, his stuff was in order. He didn’t know what to say.
“Well, I wanted you to have a home here. I know you are incapable of decorating yourself,” she laughed, “so I thought I’d help you. I’m glad you like it. And look, no pink! Even your sheets aren’t pink,” she laughed.
He grinned at her. She amazing him. Then he looked up and noticed there were other people there. “Oh,” Maria said, “You know everyone but sarah,” she said pointing to the short blond girl next to Tess on the couch.
Sarah stood up and walked over to him, extending her hand, “Hi, I’m Sarah. The newest member to the group, I guess,” she chuckled.
Michael smiled at her, “Michael. It’s nice to meet you.”
Kyle helped Michael move in his mattress, and Desk, and everyone helped him get it situated and then they left. “Ok, well we will leave you to it,” Kyle said getting up.
“Have a good night,” Tess said with a smirk.
“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do,” Katie quipped, smacking Maria on the ass. Maria laughed at her. That pretty much left her options open, she thought. Kaley hugged and kissed Maria, and Sarah said her goodbyes as well.
When they were gone, Michael turned back to Maria, “You amaze me,” he smiled at her. “But you didn’t spend too much money on this did you?”
She waved him off. In reality she had only spent about 200 bucks on everything, and he was well worth it. “Nope, I’m a thrift shopper. A Taurus, remember?” she said kissing him.
“I recall Katie saying something about the Taurus being the most sexual sign in the Zodiac,” he quipped, “You know anything about that?” he grinned.
Maria leaned up and whispered in his ear. “How about we put the new sheets on your bed, and you can test the theory yourself,” she said.
Michael about ran to his bedroom, pulling a laughing Maria behind him.

Chapter 28
Two weeks later, things were still running smoothly. Maria and Michael spent a lot of time together, but they also had their own lives. Michael had recently gotten a job at the Hudson Community Art museum. It was small, but it was a beginning. Back in Tennessee, he had always worked in factories or in construction, but working at the museum, he was able to amerce himself into the art world, and get input from other artists.
He had just called Maria after his first day of work. “So how was it?” Maria asked excitedly. She was so happy for Michael. He was finally getting to do what he really wanted.
“It was great,” he gushed. “I met the curator and got started on some work. She is having me frame some new things for the new exhibit, and she said that if I show promise, he might have me work on reconstructing some of the older paintings.” He was so excited, and Maria could tell.
“Baby, that’s great. I can’t wait to come by and see the museum. I love Art Museums, and I haven’t been to the one here in Hudson.” She said.
“Well, it isn’t huge, but there is an impressionist exhibit coming,” Michael said with a smile. After many long conversations, she had revealed that she was nearly obsessed with impressionism. He was more into Modern Art, but he was just glad to be in love with a woman who understood art. Most people back home couldn’t even name an impressionist painter.
“Oh Michael! That’s awesome,” Maria said. They continued to talk on the phone, happily.
Meanwhile on the Balcony…
Isabel sat by herself on the balcony smoking a cigarette. She needed some time to herself. She had been spending a lot of time with Courtney, but she was beginning to think that Courtney had ulterior motives in hanging out with her.
She was pulled out of her thoughts by a handsome man in his late twenties, walking up the stairs toward her. “Hi, can I help you?” she asked politely.
“Maybe,” he said with a charming smile. “I’m looking for Maria DeLuca. I was told this was her dorm.” He said.
Isabel’s lips turned up into an evil smile. This could be the answer to her prayers. “Yeah,” she said standing up, “This is her dorm? Need me to let you in?” she asked sweetly.
The guys was surprised by this girl’s willingness to help him, but he wasn’t going to question it. “That would be great,” he said, charming as hell.
Isabel smiled and unlocked the door. “She is room 322. Up the stairs,” Isabel dutifully informed.
“Thank you,” the guys said as he slipped inside and walked up the stairs.
Back in Maria’s room…
“So, have you talked to Kyle? Cause Tess said he is pretty down.” Maria said with a smile. Apparently, Kyle did not like the fact that he was stuck back in Tennessee alone. Since he had started coming to Hudson, he basically never hung out with people in his own town.
“Yeah, I need to call him. I’ll probably do that tonight. I’ve just been busy,” Michael explained.
There was a knock on Maria’s door. “Wonder who what is?” she said outloud.
“Huh?” Michael aske.
“Nothing, someone’s at the door, one sec.” she said as she took the phone from her ear and went to the door to open it. She gasped when she saw who was standing at the door.
On the other line, Michael heard her gasp and listened intently. He wanted to know who had caught her by surprise.
“What are you doing here?” Maria asked with venom in her voice. Daniel Pierce was not someone she wanted to see. He was not someone she was supposed to have to see.
Daniel smirked and walked into her room, as Maria backed up. “I’m here to see you, baby.” He said with an evil grin.
“You aren’t supposed to be here,” Maria said trying hard to keep her voice calm. “I…I have a restraining order on you.” She almost stuttered.
Michael heard everything that was going on. “Baby, what’s going on!” he yelled into the phone. He was at a panic. Maria sounded scared, and some guy named Daniel was in her room, against her will. “Talk to me!” he yelled, but she couldn’t here him. She had deliberately kept her phone open so that Michael could hear her. She needed him.
“You think some piece of paper is going to keep me away from you?” Daniel answered amused.
“I’m going to call security,” Maria said defiantly, picking up the phone in her hand.
The panicked Michael on the other end heard the man say, “I don’t think so.” Then he heard, Maria screamed before the line was disconnected.
Michael jumped off the couch and grabbed his keys, running out to the truck. He jumped in and sped off the Hudson. He needed to get to Maria. He sped the whole way there, his eyes fixed on the road in front of him.
Back in Maria’s room…
“You’re hurting me,” Maria whimpered at Daniel pushed her against the wall, holing her wrist in his tight grip.
“You know, I was pissed when you just left a year ago to go back to Roswell, but with work I couldn’t come back and teach you a lesson. But when a friend informed me you had moved across the country, I was beyond livid. You know that I never said you could leave.” He said as he pressed his body against hers. She could feel his erection poking her in the stomach and she had to control the urge to wretch.
“I don’t need you’re permission. We are over, and we have been for over a year. I have a boyfriend, and you have to leave,” she said, faking strength. In reality she was terrified. She knew what he was capable of, and it scared her to death.
“Well I’ve got nad news for the guy you are fucking, cuase he’s dead.” Daniel grinned. Then he pressed her harder against the wall. He dropped her wrist and she sighed in relief, just to be pressed further into the wall by wrapping his hand around her neck.
Maria struggled against him as he leaned into her whispering, “Do you have him strangle you while he fucks you?” Daniel asked sadistically as he ground himself into Maria.
“Stop…” Maria weezed out as he was cutting off her air supply.
Daniel paid her no attention as he continued, “Does he know the sick things we used to do to each other?” Daniel asked with an evil laugh. “I bet he doesn’t. I bed if he knew he would leave you,” he said. He knew how to get to Maria. All the guys she had dated knew how to really hurt her.
“I can’t…breath,” Maria moaned through ragid breaths. Just as the tears began springing from her eyes, her half open door swung open, and Daniel was being pulled off of her. She slid down the wall grasping her neck and trying hard to inhale deep breaths. She leaned over coughing and gasping.
When Michael pulled Daniel off Maria, he pushed him up against the wall, his big hand around his neck. “How do you like it, asshole?!” he screamed at the guy. He couldn’t contol his rage. When he saw that guy hurting Maria, his instincts took over, and he was doing well not to kill the man before him.
“Fuck You!” Daniel spit back.
“Michael?” he heard Maria gasp from the floor. She was clutching her neck and crying, and his heart broke for her.
Keeping a firm grasp on Daniel he said, “Maria, baby, call security.” He said. Maria nodded and crawled over to her phone on the floor. She dialed Campus Safety and told them that an old boyfriend had broken in. This was actually not that uncommon at Hudson, that was why the dorms were always locked and there were strict instructions never to let anyone into the buildings without their female student counterpart.
Within minutes, Campus Safety ran up to her room, and roughly removed Daniel from Michael’s grasp. Michael shoved him again hard against the doorframe before letting security take him. As they roughly pulled him away he called back, “You’ll see me again, babe.” To Maria. “You like what only I can give you,” he ginned. The guy was one sick fuck.
Michael rushed over to Maria on the floor, the female officer joining him. “You ok, baby?” he asked her, tears easily falling from his eyes. Maria wrapped her arms around him.
“Yeah,” he raspy voice came out. She was still trying to catch her breath. “I’m fine. I’m just gald you got here,” she said beginning to cry. The shock was leaving her body, and emotions were rushing over her.
The female officer place a comforting hand on her back, “Sweetie, do you need to go to the hospital?”
Maria shook her head, “No, I’m fine she said.”
“Are you sure, baby? I mean, maybe you should just go to get checked out.” Michael said, wanting to make sure she was ok.
The officer turned Maria to face her. “Was this a sexual assult?” she had to ask for the file.
Maria shook her head, “No, I’m fine. He’s done this before, I’ll be ok. I had a restraining order on him for this same sort of thing.” Maria said wiping her face. Michael held her tight in his arms, still worried about her, and shocked that this hadn’t been the first time something this serious had happened.
“Ok, well if you want to press charges you are going to have to give us a statement.” The officer said. “With the restraining order, he will be charged anyway, but if you press charges he will get a more sever sentence.”
Maria nodded and Michael helped her stand up, “Can I do it tomorrow?” Maria asked meekly. Michael had never seen her like this, and he never wanted to again.
“Sure,” the officer smiled. “Come down to the station anytime tomorrow.” She said rubbing Maria’s shoulder. Then she turned around and left. Maria’s RA was immediately in her room.
“Oh God, Maria, are you ok?” she asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine, now.” She said.
“How did her get in?” Katherine, her RA asked.
“I don’t know. Someone must have let him in.” Maria said sadly.
“Ok, well we are going to have a hall meeting about this. I have to. It’s important to campus safety.” Katherine said sadly. She didn’t want you share Maria’s business for the whole hall, but she had no choice. Maria nodded at her, and she hugged her tightly before leaving her room.
Michael pulled Maria over to the bed and sat down with her. “Maria, are you really ok?” he asked still scared. He cupped her face in his hands and looked into her eyes.
“I was so scared,” she said crying again. “I thought all of that was over.” She cried, burying her head in his chest. He wrapped his arms tightly around her as she trembled in his arms.
“Everything’s going to be okay, baby.” Michael said, trying to keep the tremble of tears out of his voice. “I’m here, nothing is going to happen to you,” he promised.
As Maria continued to cry, Tess walked through the door, but before she could say anything about Maria’s obviously distressed state, Michael shook his head at her. Tess was worried, but understood. Whatever happened to Maria, she needed Michael. She nodded and went back down to her room to call Kyle. She wanted to talk to him. She would find out what happened to her friend later.
Michael pulled away slightly and looked into Maria’s tear streaked face. He moved up on the bed, against the pillows and motioned for him to join him as he laid down. She tightly wrapped her body around his, resting her head on his chest. “Tell me what happened,” Michael said softly as he ran his hands through her hair.
“Today, or the whole story?” Maria asked, knowing she needed to tell him everything.
“Everything,” Michael said, “I want to know everything,” he said, silently preparing himself for whatever she had to tell him.
Maria sighed and ran her fingers over Michael’s chest. “His name is Daniel Pierce. And he was the last guy I was in a relationship with. When I said I don’t do relationships, that was true, but deceiving. I’ve been in relationships, several actually.” Maria explained. “I’ve never been in a relationship I actually wanted to be in. Every time I’ve been in a relationship, it was because I was attracted to some fucked up part of a guy, and he pushed me so hard I just gave in. It was the same with Daniel.”
She looked up at Michael and he continued to listen, “He was in a band, and considerably older, as you could tell. He was out of grad school and living the musical lifestyle in Sante Fe, where I used to visit him all the time.” Maria went on, “Things got scary, and it started with sex. He would do things, things that I didn’t want to do, or at least didn’t want to do at the moment.” Maria said quietly.
“What did he do?” Michael asked, afraid to know.
“You don’t want to hear this, Michael.” She said wiping her cheeks again.
”Maria, tell me. I need to know.” He nearly begged.
Maria swallowed and nodded, “Well, if he wanted sex, he would take it. Now, you know I’m usually up for sex anytime, but when I was forced to fuck him, it didn’t turn me on, so it hurt. Then he used to tie me down and fuck me in the ass. Which, I’ve learned to like in a playful sense, but with him it wasn’t playful. He did it to hurt me.”
“Why did you stay with him?” Michael asked, his heart crushing as he heard the pain in her voice.
“I was afraid to. First of all, everyone was telling me that I have to settle down, and I began to think that there was something wrong with me since I didn’t want to. But more that that, I was afraid he would hurt me. He told me if I stopped seeing him, he could kill me, and I believed him.” Maria said. “Things got worse and he started hitting me outside of the bedroom. He strangled me 3 different times other than today.” She admitted.
“Baby, I’m so sorry,” Michael said pulling her into him. He kissed her lightly and said, “I don’t know how anyone could do that to you.”
“Today, he showed up, and then you heard the rest, basically, I guess.” He pushed me up against he wall.” She said, “He was hard, and I could feel him grinding into me, I thought he was going to rape me, but then you showed up,” she began to get control of her emotions.
“I want to know how he got in,” Michael said almost more to himself.
“I don’t know, someone must have let him in. It happens. Most people don’t think guys are going to come in here and attack us, so they aren’t careful about it. I’ve even let a guy in before.” Maria explained.
“Well, I don’t think you should do that anymore,” Michael said seriously, but he was beginning to lighten up, since he saw that Maria was ok, and he didn’t want her to dwell on her attack.
“Oh no worries there. I’ll be the door nazi from now on.” She said sitting up. “I don’t want this to happen to anyone one else.”
“Maria will you stay with me tonight?” Michael asked. “I would feel batter if I knew where you were.” He said. He knew he sounded like an over-protective boyfriend, but at this point he was.
“Yeah, but you know at some point I’m going to have to stay here, and you cant be with me all the time.” Maria smiled at him.
“Hey, there’s that beautiful smile,” Michael said kissing her again.
“Wanna get some dinner?” Maria said getting up.
“Yeah, we better get Tess too.” Michael said. “She saw you crying, and I bet she is worried.”
“Yeah, Katie, Kaley, and Sarah are probably going to want to know too. It isn’t like the whole dorm isn’t going to be informed.” She said with a sigh.
Michael and Maria rounded up their friends and walked to lunch, but before that, she told them what happened, only giving them the cliff’s notes version of her previous relationship with Daniel. “Oh God, Maria, are you okay?” Tess asked, hugging her tightly.
Her friends were all worried about her, but she assured them that she was physically ok, she just was a little shaken up.
They sat down to dinner and everyone made a point to keep conversation light. The last thing Maria needed was to bring up the incident.
Then Michael spotted a smug Isabel walking up to their table. “Great.” He mumbled. That was exacty what their needed.
“Hi,” Isabel said with a smirk. “Catch up with your friend?” she asked Maria, with a gleam in her eyes.
“What?” Maria asked, confused.
“The very attractive man that was looking for you? Did you two have a good time?” she asked, hoping to get a reaction from Michael.
“You…it was you,” Maria said in awe. “You let him in.”
“Well, I just thought that you might like to see an old friend. He was looking for you, so I led the way.” Isabel said. She looked at Michael and saw the look of shock on his face. “Oh Michael didn’t know.” She said with a fake laugh. “Well, I did try to tell you,” she said, happy with herself.
Maria’s eyes darkened with anger as she stood up. “All this time, I thought you were just trying to protect Michael, so I made excuses for you. But you really are just a heartless bitch,” she bit out as she stalked off.
“Oh I know all about that guy,” Michael said with venom in his voice. “You just stay the fuck away from me…and Maria. We are done.” He growled as he followed Maria out the door.
“What the hell was that about?” Isabel asked, flabbergasted by Michael and Maria’s behavior.
The four girls left at the table stared daggers into Isabel. “You are a fucking cunt!” Tess screamed, surprising them all. She never used that kind of language. “That guy…the one you thought you were going to be able to catch Maria fucking…well he attacked her!” she continued to yelled, and it is a damn good thing that Michael was on the phone with her at that moment, because he saved her from beign strangled. She could have DIED!” Tess cired out, tears streaming down her face at the though of her best friend dieing. She got up and left the table as well. She couldn’t stay there any longer.
“What Michael said goes for all of us,” Sarah said, sticking up for her newest friend. “You want to be a bitch, fine, but you can leave us all alone.”
Isabel looked at them all in shock as they walked away. That was not what was supposed to happen. She was supposed to reveal that Maria was sleeping with someone else, then Michael would break up with her and thank Isabel.
Oh God. Maria had been attacked and it was her fault. All because of her stupid pride. She sat down in an empty chair and thought about it. She had fucked up, royally, and lost all of her friends in the process.
Just then Courtney skipped up to her. “Hey, where have you been?” she asked.
“Umm, around.” Isabel said, distracted.
“What’s wrong?” Courtney asked.
“Nothing, just thinking.” Isabel said, then she put on a happy face, “So, what have you been doing?”
“Nothing. Just saw Michael and Maria outside, barely able to keep their hands off each other,” she rolled her eyes. “It’s sick. What does he see in her anyway?” Courtney asked, as if it were obvious that Maria was nothing. Now if SHE were with Michael, she could show him what it was like to be with a REAL woman.
Isabel just nodded, still lost in thought. She needed to talk to Maria, to apologize. But she didn’t know how. Even if Maria didn’t hate her right now, Michael would sooner jump off a cliff than let anyone hurt someone he cared about. Isabel was quickly realizing that Maria and Michael night have something real.

Two weeks later, things were still running smoothly. Maria and Michael spent a lot of time together, but they also had their own lives. Michael had recently gotten a job at the Hudson Community Art museum. It was small, but it was a beginning. Back in Tennessee, he had always worked in factories or in construction, but working at the museum, he was able to amerce himself into the art world, and get input from other artists.
He had just called Maria after his first day of work. “So how was it?” Maria asked excitedly. She was so happy for Michael. He was finally getting to do what he really wanted.
“It was great,” he gushed. “I met the curator and got started on some work. She is having me frame some new things for the new exhibit, and she said that if I show promise, he might have me work on reconstructing some of the older paintings.” He was so excited, and Maria could tell.
“Baby, that’s great. I can’t wait to come by and see the museum. I love Art Museums, and I haven’t been to the one here in Hudson.” She said.
“Well, it isn’t huge, but there is an impressionist exhibit coming,” Michael said with a smile. After many long conversations, she had revealed that she was nearly obsessed with impressionism. He was more into Modern Art, but he was just glad to be in love with a woman who understood art. Most people back home couldn’t even name an impressionist painter.
“Oh Michael! That’s awesome,” Maria said. They continued to talk on the phone, happily.
Meanwhile on the Balcony…
Isabel sat by herself on the balcony smoking a cigarette. She needed some time to herself. She had been spending a lot of time with Courtney, but she was beginning to think that Courtney had ulterior motives in hanging out with her.
She was pulled out of her thoughts by a handsome man in his late twenties, walking up the stairs toward her. “Hi, can I help you?” she asked politely.
“Maybe,” he said with a charming smile. “I’m looking for Maria DeLuca. I was told this was her dorm.” He said.
Isabel’s lips turned up into an evil smile. This could be the answer to her prayers. “Yeah,” she said standing up, “This is her dorm? Need me to let you in?” she asked sweetly.
The guys was surprised by this girl’s willingness to help him, but he wasn’t going to question it. “That would be great,” he said, charming as hell.
Isabel smiled and unlocked the door. “She is room 322. Up the stairs,” Isabel dutifully informed.
“Thank you,” the guys said as he slipped inside and walked up the stairs.
Back in Maria’s room…
“So, have you talked to Kyle? Cause Tess said he is pretty down.” Maria said with a smile. Apparently, Kyle did not like the fact that he was stuck back in Tennessee alone. Since he had started coming to Hudson, he basically never hung out with people in his own town.
“Yeah, I need to call him. I’ll probably do that tonight. I’ve just been busy,” Michael explained.
There was a knock on Maria’s door. “Wonder who what is?” she said outloud.
“Huh?” Michael aske.
“Nothing, someone’s at the door, one sec.” she said as she took the phone from her ear and went to the door to open it. She gasped when she saw who was standing at the door.
On the other line, Michael heard her gasp and listened intently. He wanted to know who had caught her by surprise.
“What are you doing here?” Maria asked with venom in her voice. Daniel Pierce was not someone she wanted to see. He was not someone she was supposed to have to see.
Daniel smirked and walked into her room, as Maria backed up. “I’m here to see you, baby.” He said with an evil grin.
“You aren’t supposed to be here,” Maria said trying hard to keep her voice calm. “I…I have a restraining order on you.” She almost stuttered.
Michael heard everything that was going on. “Baby, what’s going on!” he yelled into the phone. He was at a panic. Maria sounded scared, and some guy named Daniel was in her room, against her will. “Talk to me!” he yelled, but she couldn’t here him. She had deliberately kept her phone open so that Michael could hear her. She needed him.
“You think some piece of paper is going to keep me away from you?” Daniel answered amused.
“I’m going to call security,” Maria said defiantly, picking up the phone in her hand.
The panicked Michael on the other end heard the man say, “I don’t think so.” Then he heard, Maria screamed before the line was disconnected.
Michael jumped off the couch and grabbed his keys, running out to the truck. He jumped in and sped off the Hudson. He needed to get to Maria. He sped the whole way there, his eyes fixed on the road in front of him.
Back in Maria’s room…
“You’re hurting me,” Maria whimpered at Daniel pushed her against the wall, holing her wrist in his tight grip.
“You know, I was pissed when you just left a year ago to go back to Roswell, but with work I couldn’t come back and teach you a lesson. But when a friend informed me you had moved across the country, I was beyond livid. You know that I never said you could leave.” He said as he pressed his body against hers. She could feel his erection poking her in the stomach and she had to control the urge to wretch.
“I don’t need you’re permission. We are over, and we have been for over a year. I have a boyfriend, and you have to leave,” she said, faking strength. In reality she was terrified. She knew what he was capable of, and it scared her to death.
“Well I’ve got nad news for the guy you are fucking, cuase he’s dead.” Daniel grinned. Then he pressed her harder against the wall. He dropped her wrist and she sighed in relief, just to be pressed further into the wall by wrapping his hand around her neck.
Maria struggled against him as he leaned into her whispering, “Do you have him strangle you while he fucks you?” Daniel asked sadistically as he ground himself into Maria.
“Stop…” Maria weezed out as he was cutting off her air supply.
Daniel paid her no attention as he continued, “Does he know the sick things we used to do to each other?” Daniel asked with an evil laugh. “I bet he doesn’t. I bed if he knew he would leave you,” he said. He knew how to get to Maria. All the guys she had dated knew how to really hurt her.
“I can’t…breath,” Maria moaned through ragid breaths. Just as the tears began springing from her eyes, her half open door swung open, and Daniel was being pulled off of her. She slid down the wall grasping her neck and trying hard to inhale deep breaths. She leaned over coughing and gasping.
When Michael pulled Daniel off Maria, he pushed him up against the wall, his big hand around his neck. “How do you like it, asshole?!” he screamed at the guy. He couldn’t contol his rage. When he saw that guy hurting Maria, his instincts took over, and he was doing well not to kill the man before him.
“Fuck You!” Daniel spit back.
“Michael?” he heard Maria gasp from the floor. She was clutching her neck and crying, and his heart broke for her.
Keeping a firm grasp on Daniel he said, “Maria, baby, call security.” He said. Maria nodded and crawled over to her phone on the floor. She dialed Campus Safety and told them that an old boyfriend had broken in. This was actually not that uncommon at Hudson, that was why the dorms were always locked and there were strict instructions never to let anyone into the buildings without their female student counterpart.
Within minutes, Campus Safety ran up to her room, and roughly removed Daniel from Michael’s grasp. Michael shoved him again hard against the doorframe before letting security take him. As they roughly pulled him away he called back, “You’ll see me again, babe.” To Maria. “You like what only I can give you,” he ginned. The guy was one sick fuck.
Michael rushed over to Maria on the floor, the female officer joining him. “You ok, baby?” he asked her, tears easily falling from his eyes. Maria wrapped her arms around him.
“Yeah,” he raspy voice came out. She was still trying to catch her breath. “I’m fine. I’m just gald you got here,” she said beginning to cry. The shock was leaving her body, and emotions were rushing over her.
The female officer place a comforting hand on her back, “Sweetie, do you need to go to the hospital?”
Maria shook her head, “No, I’m fine she said.”
“Are you sure, baby? I mean, maybe you should just go to get checked out.” Michael said, wanting to make sure she was ok.
The officer turned Maria to face her. “Was this a sexual assult?” she had to ask for the file.
Maria shook her head, “No, I’m fine. He’s done this before, I’ll be ok. I had a restraining order on him for this same sort of thing.” Maria said wiping her face. Michael held her tight in his arms, still worried about her, and shocked that this hadn’t been the first time something this serious had happened.
“Ok, well if you want to press charges you are going to have to give us a statement.” The officer said. “With the restraining order, he will be charged anyway, but if you press charges he will get a more sever sentence.”
Maria nodded and Michael helped her stand up, “Can I do it tomorrow?” Maria asked meekly. Michael had never seen her like this, and he never wanted to again.
“Sure,” the officer smiled. “Come down to the station anytime tomorrow.” She said rubbing Maria’s shoulder. Then she turned around and left. Maria’s RA was immediately in her room.
“Oh God, Maria, are you ok?” she asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine, now.” She said.
“How did her get in?” Katherine, her RA asked.
“I don’t know. Someone must have let him in.” Maria said sadly.
“Ok, well we are going to have a hall meeting about this. I have to. It’s important to campus safety.” Katherine said sadly. She didn’t want you share Maria’s business for the whole hall, but she had no choice. Maria nodded at her, and she hugged her tightly before leaving her room.
Michael pulled Maria over to the bed and sat down with her. “Maria, are you really ok?” he asked still scared. He cupped her face in his hands and looked into her eyes.
“I was so scared,” she said crying again. “I thought all of that was over.” She cried, burying her head in his chest. He wrapped his arms tightly around her as she trembled in his arms.
“Everything’s going to be okay, baby.” Michael said, trying to keep the tremble of tears out of his voice. “I’m here, nothing is going to happen to you,” he promised.
As Maria continued to cry, Tess walked through the door, but before she could say anything about Maria’s obviously distressed state, Michael shook his head at her. Tess was worried, but understood. Whatever happened to Maria, she needed Michael. She nodded and went back down to her room to call Kyle. She wanted to talk to him. She would find out what happened to her friend later.
Michael pulled away slightly and looked into Maria’s tear streaked face. He moved up on the bed, against the pillows and motioned for him to join him as he laid down. She tightly wrapped her body around his, resting her head on his chest. “Tell me what happened,” Michael said softly as he ran his hands through her hair.
“Today, or the whole story?” Maria asked, knowing she needed to tell him everything.
“Everything,” Michael said, “I want to know everything,” he said, silently preparing himself for whatever she had to tell him.
Maria sighed and ran her fingers over Michael’s chest. “His name is Daniel Pierce. And he was the last guy I was in a relationship with. When I said I don’t do relationships, that was true, but deceiving. I’ve been in relationships, several actually.” Maria explained. “I’ve never been in a relationship I actually wanted to be in. Every time I’ve been in a relationship, it was because I was attracted to some fucked up part of a guy, and he pushed me so hard I just gave in. It was the same with Daniel.”
She looked up at Michael and he continued to listen, “He was in a band, and considerably older, as you could tell. He was out of grad school and living the musical lifestyle in Sante Fe, where I used to visit him all the time.” Maria went on, “Things got scary, and it started with sex. He would do things, things that I didn’t want to do, or at least didn’t want to do at the moment.” Maria said quietly.
“What did he do?” Michael asked, afraid to know.
“You don’t want to hear this, Michael.” She said wiping her cheeks again.
”Maria, tell me. I need to know.” He nearly begged.
Maria swallowed and nodded, “Well, if he wanted sex, he would take it. Now, you know I’m usually up for sex anytime, but when I was forced to fuck him, it didn’t turn me on, so it hurt. Then he used to tie me down and fuck me in the ass. Which, I’ve learned to like in a playful sense, but with him it wasn’t playful. He did it to hurt me.”
“Why did you stay with him?” Michael asked, his heart crushing as he heard the pain in her voice.
“I was afraid to. First of all, everyone was telling me that I have to settle down, and I began to think that there was something wrong with me since I didn’t want to. But more that that, I was afraid he would hurt me. He told me if I stopped seeing him, he could kill me, and I believed him.” Maria said. “Things got worse and he started hitting me outside of the bedroom. He strangled me 3 different times other than today.” She admitted.
“Baby, I’m so sorry,” Michael said pulling her into him. He kissed her lightly and said, “I don’t know how anyone could do that to you.”
“Today, he showed up, and then you heard the rest, basically, I guess.” He pushed me up against he wall.” She said, “He was hard, and I could feel him grinding into me, I thought he was going to rape me, but then you showed up,” she began to get control of her emotions.
“I want to know how he got in,” Michael said almost more to himself.
“I don’t know, someone must have let him in. It happens. Most people don’t think guys are going to come in here and attack us, so they aren’t careful about it. I’ve even let a guy in before.” Maria explained.
“Well, I don’t think you should do that anymore,” Michael said seriously, but he was beginning to lighten up, since he saw that Maria was ok, and he didn’t want her to dwell on her attack.
“Oh no worries there. I’ll be the door nazi from now on.” She said sitting up. “I don’t want this to happen to anyone one else.”
“Maria will you stay with me tonight?” Michael asked. “I would feel batter if I knew where you were.” He said. He knew he sounded like an over-protective boyfriend, but at this point he was.
“Yeah, but you know at some point I’m going to have to stay here, and you cant be with me all the time.” Maria smiled at him.
“Hey, there’s that beautiful smile,” Michael said kissing her again.
“Wanna get some dinner?” Maria said getting up.
“Yeah, we better get Tess too.” Michael said. “She saw you crying, and I bet she is worried.”
“Yeah, Katie, Kaley, and Sarah are probably going to want to know too. It isn’t like the whole dorm isn’t going to be informed.” She said with a sigh.
Michael and Maria rounded up their friends and walked to lunch, but before that, she told them what happened, only giving them the cliff’s notes version of her previous relationship with Daniel. “Oh God, Maria, are you okay?” Tess asked, hugging her tightly.
Her friends were all worried about her, but she assured them that she was physically ok, she just was a little shaken up.
They sat down to dinner and everyone made a point to keep conversation light. The last thing Maria needed was to bring up the incident.
Then Michael spotted a smug Isabel walking up to their table. “Great.” He mumbled. That was exacty what their needed.
“Hi,” Isabel said with a smirk. “Catch up with your friend?” she asked Maria, with a gleam in her eyes.
“What?” Maria asked, confused.
“The very attractive man that was looking for you? Did you two have a good time?” she asked, hoping to get a reaction from Michael.
“You…it was you,” Maria said in awe. “You let him in.”
“Well, I just thought that you might like to see an old friend. He was looking for you, so I led the way.” Isabel said. She looked at Michael and saw the look of shock on his face. “Oh Michael didn’t know.” She said with a fake laugh. “Well, I did try to tell you,” she said, happy with herself.
Maria’s eyes darkened with anger as she stood up. “All this time, I thought you were just trying to protect Michael, so I made excuses for you. But you really are just a heartless bitch,” she bit out as she stalked off.
“Oh I know all about that guy,” Michael said with venom in his voice. “You just stay the fuck away from me…and Maria. We are done.” He growled as he followed Maria out the door.
“What the hell was that about?” Isabel asked, flabbergasted by Michael and Maria’s behavior.
The four girls left at the table stared daggers into Isabel. “You are a fucking cunt!” Tess screamed, surprising them all. She never used that kind of language. “That guy…the one you thought you were going to be able to catch Maria fucking…well he attacked her!” she continued to yelled, and it is a damn good thing that Michael was on the phone with her at that moment, because he saved her from beign strangled. She could have DIED!” Tess cired out, tears streaming down her face at the though of her best friend dieing. She got up and left the table as well. She couldn’t stay there any longer.
“What Michael said goes for all of us,” Sarah said, sticking up for her newest friend. “You want to be a bitch, fine, but you can leave us all alone.”
Isabel looked at them all in shock as they walked away. That was not what was supposed to happen. She was supposed to reveal that Maria was sleeping with someone else, then Michael would break up with her and thank Isabel.
Oh God. Maria had been attacked and it was her fault. All because of her stupid pride. She sat down in an empty chair and thought about it. She had fucked up, royally, and lost all of her friends in the process.
Just then Courtney skipped up to her. “Hey, where have you been?” she asked.
“Umm, around.” Isabel said, distracted.
“What’s wrong?” Courtney asked.
“Nothing, just thinking.” Isabel said, then she put on a happy face, “So, what have you been doing?”
“Nothing. Just saw Michael and Maria outside, barely able to keep their hands off each other,” she rolled her eyes. “It’s sick. What does he see in her anyway?” Courtney asked, as if it were obvious that Maria was nothing. Now if SHE were with Michael, she could show him what it was like to be with a REAL woman.
Isabel just nodded, still lost in thought. She needed to talk to Maria, to apologize. But she didn’t know how. Even if Maria didn’t hate her right now, Michael would sooner jump off a cliff than let anyone hurt someone he cared about. Isabel was quickly realizing that Maria and Michael night have something real.

Chapter 29
Michael pulled up to his apartment that night and opened Maria’s door for her. She followed him up the walk to his door and smiled when she entered his apartment. She always felt safe there. He was there, and no one could get to her. No one who was a threat to her knew where he lived.
Maria walked back to his bedroom and set her back down before returning to the living room. She sat nervously on the couch and Michael joined her, wrapping his arm tightly around her shoulder. “Baby, are you ok?” he asked. It was a stupid question. Of course she wasn’t ok.
“Yeah,” she said as she looked at him. “I’m just still surprised about Isabel. I mean I knew she was cautious about us, but I never thought she would try to sabotage our relationship.” She said.
Michael steamed at the mention of Isabel. He was beyond livid at her right now. He couldn’t believe that one of HIS friends was responsible for the attack on Maria. Before he could say anything, Maria’s phone rang. She jumped nervously and then laughed at herself, answering it, “Hello?”
“Maria, it’s Kyle!” Kyle called into the phone. Tess called him and told him what happened to Maria, and about Isabel. “Are you okay?”
Maria rolled her eyes and smiled into the phone, mouthing Kyle’s name to Michael. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just a little shaken up, but I’m fine.” She said.
“Ok, well I just wanted to make sure. Tess called me. Are you with Michael?” he asked.
Maria laughed, “Yeah, I’m with Michael, you want to talk to him?” she asked.
“Yeah, but him on,” Kyle said. Maria handed Michael the phone and then got up to go into the kitchen t get a drink.
“Yep,” Michael said into the phone.
“Is she really ok, or is she just saying she is ok?” Kyle asked, still worried.
“She is fine. I was so scared, but luckily she isn’t hurt. I could kill Isabel though,” he growled.
“Yeah you and me both, man,” Kyle bit out. “Well I just wanted to see if she was ok, but since you are with her, she will be ok.” He said.
“Alright, man. I’ll call you tomorrow,” Michael said, hanging up. Maria sat down next to him on the couch a two beers in hand. One for him and one for herself. “So what do you want to do tonight?” he asked as she leaned into him.
“How about we watch Lost and then get in bed and talk,” she said with a smile.
“That sounds great,” Michael said kissing her lightly. After Lost was over, he and Maria went into his bedroom, stripped off their clothes, and snuggled under the covers.
“So, what you wanna talk about?” Maria giggled.
“You, I wanna talk about you.” Michael said with a smile.
“What do you want to know?” she asked turning into him.
“Why are you so amazing?” he asked her, making her weak in the knees.
She blushed and turned to him, “Well, I don’t think I’m that amazing, but as with everything else, my life experiences have made me who I am,” she said with a smile. “The question is, why are YOU so amazing.”
“Not amazing, just in love,” Michael said.
“Awww, if that wasn’t the sappiest things I’ve ever heard…” she laughed, sticking her tongue out at him.
“Come here,” he growled tickling her naked body.
“HAHAH Micheal stop!” she laughed, “That t-t-tickles!” she screamed. Their tickle-fest was cut short as Maria’s phone rang again. Michael stopped his attack and let her answer. “Hello?” she said, still laughing.
“Maria, it’s me,” she hear Isabel’s voice on the other line. Maria laughter immediately stopped as her face fell.
“What do you want?” She asked in a cool tone. Michael began to get worried as he asked her who was on the phone. “It’s Isabel,” she said aloud. Michael silently fumed, ready to take the phone from her if she got upset.
“Maria, please talk to me. I had no idea that, that guy was going to attack you. It was stupid…” but she didn’t get to completely apologize because Maria cut her off.
“Isabel, I don’t have anything to say to you right now. It doesn’t matter weather you knew or not. You still wanted to catch me cheating on Michael which just shows you don’t care about either one of us. Look, just forget my number, ok.” She said before clicking the phone shut.
Michael smiled at her with pride. Way to go, Maria. He held her tightly to him and said, “You ok?”
“Yep, but I’m kinda tired and I have to go to the police station tomorrow, so I better get to sleep.” Maria said with a yawn. Michael nodded and clicked off the light.
******
The next morning, Maria woke up and slipped out of bed. Michael was still asleep and she didn’t want to wake him up. She moved into the living room and sat down at the computer. She flipped it on and signed into her Hudson email account. She needed to tell her teachers that she wasn’t going to be in class. She was surprised to find that all of her professors had already emailed her.
They all knew what had happened to her, and told her to take her time and that they were thinking about her. She smiled and turned off the computer. That was sweet. She defiantly wouldn’t get that kind of attention at a big college. She turned around and saw Michael standing in the hallway. She nearly jumped out of her skin. “Jesus Christ! You scared the shit out of me,” she laughed as she clutched her chest.
“Sorry,” he said with a smiled as he kissed her. “Want some breakfast?”
“You cook?” she asked suspiciously.
“Yep, omelets,” he said with a laugh. She burst into laughter. Him and his omelets.
After breakfast, Maria said, “I have to get to the police station. The earlier I do this, the earlier it is over. Besides I want to talk to him.” She said forcefully.
“You sure you should?” he asked, leery of the idea.
“Yeah, I need to. In order to move forward, I have to deal with the past. Look, we will ask the police if you can sit in the observation room if it would make you feel better,” Maria said with a smile. Michael nodded in agreement and they got ready to leave.
*******
Michael gently lead Maria into the Hudson police station. He was going to support her, even if it did bother him that she was going to be in a room with the asshole that had hurt her so many times. “Ms. DeLuca,” the familiar female detective called to her. “I’m gald you came. A lot of times people just blow it off,” she laughed.
“Well, I’ve never been one to let something like this go,” Maria smiled softly at her. “Ummm, can I talk to him before I sign the papers.”
The officer looked at her and then nodded, “Yes, you know it is your right to confront your attacker. We will have to get him and an officer to sit in with you.” She informed Maria.
Maria nodded and then asked, “Can Michael sit in the observation room?”
The officer eyed Michael intently and then nodded. She knew that he had been the one to save the young girls life, and he cared very deeply for her.
Michael and Maria sat in the uncomfortable plastic chairs and waited. “You sure you wanna do this?” Michael asked again.
Maria kissed his hand and smiled. “Yes, I have to. Don’t worry, I’m safe in here. I wasn’t expecting him before, but if he comes after me this time I’m taking him down,” she laughed. He smiled at her and nodded. Then the officer called on them.
Michael took his place behind the see through mirror. Maria walked slowly into the interrogation room where Daniel was handcuffed to the chair. “There you are, baby,” h e said with another one of those evil smiles.
“Oh it isn’t what you think,” Maria huffed as she sat on the other side of the table. “I’ve come to tell you a few things,” she said.
“What’s that?” Daniel asked flippantly as he placed his feet on the table in front of him.
“I’ve come to tell you, that you aren’t going to come after me again. When I sign these papers and press charges, and you are arrested for disregarding the restraining order I put on you, you are going to be in jail for a very long time” She said smugly.
“Oh, baby did you forget my daddy is a lawyer.” Daniel sneered.
“I don’t know BABY, did you forget that there are well over 3 witnesses that saw you enter my room and attack me?” Maria shot back. Daniel didn’t say anything. He didn’t have anything to say.
“Bottom line is, I don’t love you. I never loved you, and you have to know that. You intimidated me, but that is over.” She said.
“Oh but that is where you are wrong.” Daniel said. “You love what I can do for you.” He said with all the confidence in the world.
“Oh and what is that?” Maria asked.
“The thing you forget Maria, is that you like it rough.” Daniel sneered.
Michael sat, tensly in his seat as Daniel continued, “You like being tied down and raped.” Daniel continued, “I know, because it made you wet.” He laughed.
“Stop!” Maria yelled at him, tears coming to her eyes. “It isn’t true. Michael treats me like a queen, and I couldn’t love him more,” she admitted. Michael’s heart soared at her admission.
“That may be true, but what happens when you are ready for something a little more kinky? What happens when you ‘daddy left me’ issues kick in and you want him to spank you, or cut you while he fucks you? You think that pansy ass can handle that?” Daniel asked seriously.
Michael was inraged at the thoughts of the things Daniel and Maria’s boyfriends must have done to her. “No…I don’t need that!” Maria yelled back. The officer in the room stood guard, trying hard not to comfort the girl sitting in front of the man he had learned to dislike. “I never needed it!” she yelled.
“That’s what you think,” Daniel said, “Just wait. You will be begging him to strangle you while he fucks you and he is going to be disgusted. He is going to leave you, like everyone leaves you, and then you are going to be praying to get a little visit with me.” He sneered.
“No,” Maria said wiping her tears and standing up. “It’s not going to happen. Look, I said what I had to say. Stay the fuck away from me.” She motioned to the guard that she was done. He smiled sympathetically at he and opened the door for her to leave.
Michael immediately met her outside and wrapped his arms around her. She didn’t quite give into his embrace and after she signed the papers they left. Michael could feel her withdrawing from him. “Maria, baby talk to me?”
“About what?” she bit out. “Everything he said was right you know!” she yelled opening the car door and getting in, slamming it behind her. Michael was shocked but got into the truck and drove back to his apartment.
“What are we doing here?” Maria asked coolly.
“We are going to talk.” Michael said frustrated as he got out of the car.
Maria silently followed him inside and then asked, “About what?” as she plopped down hard on the couch. Michael sat next to her and tried to get close to her, but she kept pushing him away.
“About why you are pushing me away for one,” he said seriously.
“Well, you heard Daniel. I’m a sick fuck. It turned me on when he hurt me in bed. All the guys that had been rough with me like that have turned me on. I did get wet when he tied me down! Is that what you want to hear? Or do you want to hear about how he was right when he said you would leave me because you will. I was living in a dream world when I thought you wouldn’t.” She said not looking at him.
“Maria,” Michael said forcefully, “Why don’t you let me decided what the hell I’m going to do?!” he almost yelled. “I don’t care what happened in the past. I don’t care what issues you have with you father or ex-boyfriends, I will help you get through them. But you have to give in to me. I can’t constantly be proving myself to you!” he cried out in exasperation.
“How? How can you want me after all of that?” Maria asked.
“Because I love you! I love you no matter what. I’m not disgusted that you are turned on by really rough sex. It just makes me sad that you had had to deal with so much to make you want that.” Michael said. “I want to help you through this. I will be here for you, always. If you need me to do something in bed, I will try, though I have to say I can’t hurt you, physically, that is too much for me, but I will try to please you. But you have to give a little too.” He explained.
Maria looked at him with surprise. She had expected him to freak out, and he didn’t. He was too good to be true. He had to be. “I’m sorry,” she said. “I just…I don’t want to get hurt,” she said.
Michael held her close to him, and she have into his embrace this time. “I told you I wouldn’t hurt you, and I meant it.”
“I love you,” Maria said.
“I love you too,” Michael said, “Now do you think we can get past this?”
Maria smiled back at him, “Yeah, I told you, you would have to be patient with me.”
“I know, and I am,” Michael said kissing her deeply.

Michael pulled up to his apartment that night and opened Maria’s door for her. She followed him up the walk to his door and smiled when she entered his apartment. She always felt safe there. He was there, and no one could get to her. No one who was a threat to her knew where he lived.
Maria walked back to his bedroom and set her back down before returning to the living room. She sat nervously on the couch and Michael joined her, wrapping his arm tightly around her shoulder. “Baby, are you ok?” he asked. It was a stupid question. Of course she wasn’t ok.
“Yeah,” she said as she looked at him. “I’m just still surprised about Isabel. I mean I knew she was cautious about us, but I never thought she would try to sabotage our relationship.” She said.
Michael steamed at the mention of Isabel. He was beyond livid at her right now. He couldn’t believe that one of HIS friends was responsible for the attack on Maria. Before he could say anything, Maria’s phone rang. She jumped nervously and then laughed at herself, answering it, “Hello?”
“Maria, it’s Kyle!” Kyle called into the phone. Tess called him and told him what happened to Maria, and about Isabel. “Are you okay?”
Maria rolled her eyes and smiled into the phone, mouthing Kyle’s name to Michael. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just a little shaken up, but I’m fine.” She said.
“Ok, well I just wanted to make sure. Tess called me. Are you with Michael?” he asked.
Maria laughed, “Yeah, I’m with Michael, you want to talk to him?” she asked.
“Yeah, but him on,” Kyle said. Maria handed Michael the phone and then got up to go into the kitchen t get a drink.
“Yep,” Michael said into the phone.
“Is she really ok, or is she just saying she is ok?” Kyle asked, still worried.
“She is fine. I was so scared, but luckily she isn’t hurt. I could kill Isabel though,” he growled.
“Yeah you and me both, man,” Kyle bit out. “Well I just wanted to see if she was ok, but since you are with her, she will be ok.” He said.
“Alright, man. I’ll call you tomorrow,” Michael said, hanging up. Maria sat down next to him on the couch a two beers in hand. One for him and one for herself. “So what do you want to do tonight?” he asked as she leaned into him.
“How about we watch Lost and then get in bed and talk,” she said with a smile.
“That sounds great,” Michael said kissing her lightly. After Lost was over, he and Maria went into his bedroom, stripped off their clothes, and snuggled under the covers.
“So, what you wanna talk about?” Maria giggled.
“You, I wanna talk about you.” Michael said with a smile.
“What do you want to know?” she asked turning into him.
“Why are you so amazing?” he asked her, making her weak in the knees.
She blushed and turned to him, “Well, I don’t think I’m that amazing, but as with everything else, my life experiences have made me who I am,” she said with a smile. “The question is, why are YOU so amazing.”
“Not amazing, just in love,” Michael said.
“Awww, if that wasn’t the sappiest things I’ve ever heard…” she laughed, sticking her tongue out at him.
“Come here,” he growled tickling her naked body.
“HAHAH Micheal stop!” she laughed, “That t-t-tickles!” she screamed. Their tickle-fest was cut short as Maria’s phone rang again. Michael stopped his attack and let her answer. “Hello?” she said, still laughing.
“Maria, it’s me,” she hear Isabel’s voice on the other line. Maria laughter immediately stopped as her face fell.
“What do you want?” She asked in a cool tone. Michael began to get worried as he asked her who was on the phone. “It’s Isabel,” she said aloud. Michael silently fumed, ready to take the phone from her if she got upset.
“Maria, please talk to me. I had no idea that, that guy was going to attack you. It was stupid…” but she didn’t get to completely apologize because Maria cut her off.
“Isabel, I don’t have anything to say to you right now. It doesn’t matter weather you knew or not. You still wanted to catch me cheating on Michael which just shows you don’t care about either one of us. Look, just forget my number, ok.” She said before clicking the phone shut.
Michael smiled at her with pride. Way to go, Maria. He held her tightly to him and said, “You ok?”
“Yep, but I’m kinda tired and I have to go to the police station tomorrow, so I better get to sleep.” Maria said with a yawn. Michael nodded and clicked off the light.
******
The next morning, Maria woke up and slipped out of bed. Michael was still asleep and she didn’t want to wake him up. She moved into the living room and sat down at the computer. She flipped it on and signed into her Hudson email account. She needed to tell her teachers that she wasn’t going to be in class. She was surprised to find that all of her professors had already emailed her.
They all knew what had happened to her, and told her to take her time and that they were thinking about her. She smiled and turned off the computer. That was sweet. She defiantly wouldn’t get that kind of attention at a big college. She turned around and saw Michael standing in the hallway. She nearly jumped out of her skin. “Jesus Christ! You scared the shit out of me,” she laughed as she clutched her chest.
“Sorry,” he said with a smiled as he kissed her. “Want some breakfast?”
“You cook?” she asked suspiciously.
“Yep, omelets,” he said with a laugh. She burst into laughter. Him and his omelets.
After breakfast, Maria said, “I have to get to the police station. The earlier I do this, the earlier it is over. Besides I want to talk to him.” She said forcefully.
“You sure you should?” he asked, leery of the idea.
“Yeah, I need to. In order to move forward, I have to deal with the past. Look, we will ask the police if you can sit in the observation room if it would make you feel better,” Maria said with a smile. Michael nodded in agreement and they got ready to leave.
*******
Michael gently lead Maria into the Hudson police station. He was going to support her, even if it did bother him that she was going to be in a room with the asshole that had hurt her so many times. “Ms. DeLuca,” the familiar female detective called to her. “I’m gald you came. A lot of times people just blow it off,” she laughed.
“Well, I’ve never been one to let something like this go,” Maria smiled softly at her. “Ummm, can I talk to him before I sign the papers.”
The officer looked at her and then nodded, “Yes, you know it is your right to confront your attacker. We will have to get him and an officer to sit in with you.” She informed Maria.
Maria nodded and then asked, “Can Michael sit in the observation room?”
The officer eyed Michael intently and then nodded. She knew that he had been the one to save the young girls life, and he cared very deeply for her.
Michael and Maria sat in the uncomfortable plastic chairs and waited. “You sure you wanna do this?” Michael asked again.
Maria kissed his hand and smiled. “Yes, I have to. Don’t worry, I’m safe in here. I wasn’t expecting him before, but if he comes after me this time I’m taking him down,” she laughed. He smiled at her and nodded. Then the officer called on them.
Michael took his place behind the see through mirror. Maria walked slowly into the interrogation room where Daniel was handcuffed to the chair. “There you are, baby,” h e said with another one of those evil smiles.
“Oh it isn’t what you think,” Maria huffed as she sat on the other side of the table. “I’ve come to tell you a few things,” she said.
“What’s that?” Daniel asked flippantly as he placed his feet on the table in front of him.
“I’ve come to tell you, that you aren’t going to come after me again. When I sign these papers and press charges, and you are arrested for disregarding the restraining order I put on you, you are going to be in jail for a very long time” She said smugly.
“Oh, baby did you forget my daddy is a lawyer.” Daniel sneered.
“I don’t know BABY, did you forget that there are well over 3 witnesses that saw you enter my room and attack me?” Maria shot back. Daniel didn’t say anything. He didn’t have anything to say.
“Bottom line is, I don’t love you. I never loved you, and you have to know that. You intimidated me, but that is over.” She said.
“Oh but that is where you are wrong.” Daniel said. “You love what I can do for you.” He said with all the confidence in the world.
“Oh and what is that?” Maria asked.
“The thing you forget Maria, is that you like it rough.” Daniel sneered.
Michael sat, tensly in his seat as Daniel continued, “You like being tied down and raped.” Daniel continued, “I know, because it made you wet.” He laughed.
“Stop!” Maria yelled at him, tears coming to her eyes. “It isn’t true. Michael treats me like a queen, and I couldn’t love him more,” she admitted. Michael’s heart soared at her admission.
“That may be true, but what happens when you are ready for something a little more kinky? What happens when you ‘daddy left me’ issues kick in and you want him to spank you, or cut you while he fucks you? You think that pansy ass can handle that?” Daniel asked seriously.
Michael was inraged at the thoughts of the things Daniel and Maria’s boyfriends must have done to her. “No…I don’t need that!” Maria yelled back. The officer in the room stood guard, trying hard not to comfort the girl sitting in front of the man he had learned to dislike. “I never needed it!” she yelled.
“That’s what you think,” Daniel said, “Just wait. You will be begging him to strangle you while he fucks you and he is going to be disgusted. He is going to leave you, like everyone leaves you, and then you are going to be praying to get a little visit with me.” He sneered.
“No,” Maria said wiping her tears and standing up. “It’s not going to happen. Look, I said what I had to say. Stay the fuck away from me.” She motioned to the guard that she was done. He smiled sympathetically at he and opened the door for her to leave.
Michael immediately met her outside and wrapped his arms around her. She didn’t quite give into his embrace and after she signed the papers they left. Michael could feel her withdrawing from him. “Maria, baby talk to me?”
“About what?” she bit out. “Everything he said was right you know!” she yelled opening the car door and getting in, slamming it behind her. Michael was shocked but got into the truck and drove back to his apartment.
“What are we doing here?” Maria asked coolly.
“We are going to talk.” Michael said frustrated as he got out of the car.
Maria silently followed him inside and then asked, “About what?” as she plopped down hard on the couch. Michael sat next to her and tried to get close to her, but she kept pushing him away.
“About why you are pushing me away for one,” he said seriously.
“Well, you heard Daniel. I’m a sick fuck. It turned me on when he hurt me in bed. All the guys that had been rough with me like that have turned me on. I did get wet when he tied me down! Is that what you want to hear? Or do you want to hear about how he was right when he said you would leave me because you will. I was living in a dream world when I thought you wouldn’t.” She said not looking at him.
“Maria,” Michael said forcefully, “Why don’t you let me decided what the hell I’m going to do?!” he almost yelled. “I don’t care what happened in the past. I don’t care what issues you have with you father or ex-boyfriends, I will help you get through them. But you have to give in to me. I can’t constantly be proving myself to you!” he cried out in exasperation.
“How? How can you want me after all of that?” Maria asked.
“Because I love you! I love you no matter what. I’m not disgusted that you are turned on by really rough sex. It just makes me sad that you had had to deal with so much to make you want that.” Michael said. “I want to help you through this. I will be here for you, always. If you need me to do something in bed, I will try, though I have to say I can’t hurt you, physically, that is too much for me, but I will try to please you. But you have to give a little too.” He explained.
Maria looked at him with surprise. She had expected him to freak out, and he didn’t. He was too good to be true. He had to be. “I’m sorry,” she said. “I just…I don’t want to get hurt,” she said.
Michael held her close to him, and she have into his embrace this time. “I told you I wouldn’t hurt you, and I meant it.”
“I love you,” Maria said.
“I love you too,” Michael said, “Now do you think we can get past this?”
Maria smiled back at him, “Yeah, I told you, you would have to be patient with me.”
“I know, and I am,” Michael said kissing her deeply.

A/N: Sorry this isn't really long, but i wanted to get an update out before i came back to the states 
Chapter 30
On Saturday, Maria moved back into her dorm room. "Michael, i'm fine. Daniel is in jail, and i can't stay at your apartment forever." she laughed. He was begging her to stay with him, but she knew that she needed to go back. Besides, she had a paper to write that she would rather write in her own room.
"Ok, but can i stay for a while," Michael asked. He looked like a lost puppy, so Maria took pity on him.
"Ok, i guess!" she huffed with fake exaggeration. Then she grinned and pulled him down on her bed next to her. "Come here," she said pulling him into her.
"Hmmm, don't you have a paper to write?" Michael quipped, nipping her neck lightly.
"Oh, it can wait. I havn't felt you inside me for well over 72 hours, and i need you," Maria moaned as he laid flush against her. She quickly pulled her shirt over his head.
"Are you using me, Ms. DeLuca?" Michael grinned.
"Of course. Didn't you know. You are my sexy Man-slave." Maria laughed as she pulled his mouth back down on hers.
"Well, ok then," Michael replied as he unbuttoned the last button on Maria's shirt. He kissed down her neck as she reveled in the feeling of his hot mouth on her skin.
"Michael..." she breathed, running her fingers through his hair. "Fuck me," she groaned. A desire comming over her that she couldn't explain. She wanted him, needed him more than she had ever needed anything before. Everytime he thouched her, her body ached for him. She wanted to make things rougher. She wanted him to fuck her harder than she had ever been fucked, but she knew she couldn't ask that of him. So, she settled for the passionate intense sex they were used to. Not that she could complain about that.
"Maria..." he breathed. Maria noticed that he had taken all of her clothes of, and she didn't know how that happened, but she didn't care. She reached down and pulled his boxer off. MAria looked into his eyes and saw a raw passion and desire that made her spine tingle. "Get up," he siad forcefully. He used a voice Maria didn't recognize.
She looked at him wide eyed and said. "Wh...WHat?"
"Get up!" he shouted, even more forcefully. Maria didn't know what was going on, but she did as she was told. She got up off the bed, and for once with Michael, she didn't want to be naked in front of him.
Michael got up off the bed and pulled Maria's desk out from the wall. He walked over to her dressed, pulled out two scarved and turned back to Maria. "Git on it," he said motioning at the desk. Maria looked at him confused. Then she looked at the desk.
"What?" she asked again.
"Get on the desk and don't say a word. I don't want to hear a word come out of your mouth. You dont speak unless i tell you to," he demanded in a tone of confidence and force that awed Maria.
She would be lying if she said that this new Michael didn't turn her on. She was dripping wet, but she just didn't understand. However, she could see that MIchael was serious so she got on the desk and looked at him, silently asking him what he wanted her to do next.
"Lay on you back," he said roughly and she did as she was told, wincing slighly at the cold wood of her desk against her back. Michael quickly climbed up on the dest with Maria and took one of her wrists roughly in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Maria asked before she could stop herself.
Michael's eyes grew dark as he brought his hand down on Maria's outer thigh. The smack of his hand meeting her thigh echoed in the room, and at the same moment Maria winced, her pussy grew wetter and wetter. "I told you not to speak," Michael growled as she spanked her thigh once more.
Maria looked back at him, her eyes beginning to sting with tears. Michael took her wrist in his hand again and tied it to the other one, tightly with one of the scarves in his hand. He then pulled Maria up the desk and tied her wrists to the leg of the desk with the other scarf.
He tighed it tight. Her arms ached as they bent at an odd angle over her head. "Mmm," she moaned in half pain and half pleasure. It was a feeling she knew well, but somehow this was different.
She watched as Michael roughly took his cock in his hands, placed a condom on it, and rammed it into her. Maria's eyes went wide as he filled her. "Fuck," he moaned, trying to get a control over his emotions. Then he pulled back and puahed back into her with great force.
"Fuck, your so tight," he grunted, fucking her hard and fast. She wanted deperatly to moan, cry out his name, return the sentimate anything, but she wanted to follow his rules. "How does that feel baby?" he moaned, looking into her eyes. "You can answer," he continued.
"Good," She moaned, feeling the scarf burn her wrists. "If feels so fucking good." she groaned, meeting him thrust for thrust. His large hands dug into her skin and she knew she was going to be bruised, and she loved it.
He slammed into her harder and harder, and as he felt her pussy flutter around him, he knew he could let go, "Fuck baby! Oh God yess...." he growled as he came while he was buried deep within her.
Maria followed closely behind, "FUCK!" she groaned pulling on her restraints as she came hard around him.
Michael collapsed on top of her, and when he came back to earth, he smacked her lightly on the thigh once more before unting her arms and removed the scarves. "What was that for?" Maria asked in reguard to the smack on her thigh.
"You said fuck when you were comming. I didn't tell you you could speek," he said with a gentle smile as he pulled her into his arms and gently placed her int her bed before climbing in after her. He was back to the same old Michael that Maria knew and loved.
Michael took her delicate wrists in his hand and kissed them as he noticed they were red and raw. "Baby, did i hurt you too much?"
Maria smiled at him. She knew what he had done for her and loved him even more for it. "I'm fine," she smiled snuggling into him. "Thank you," she said, tears comming to her eyes.
Michael wrapped himself around her and wiped her tears. "I just want to make you happy." he siad.
"You do," Maria said. "You always do."
They slipped into sleep like that seconds later.
