Chapter 4
Lust and Regrets
Mateus ran his hand up Maria's leg, leaving gentle lovebites on her soft skin. They had said they didn't want to do it again, but one more time couldn't hurt. It was Mateus's turn to do the dance, and Maria bit her lip, closing her eyes and tilting her head back.
(He's really good)
(How can she keep her mouth shut, like this)
Maria took hold of Mateus and turned him onto his back; she slowly but carefully began to move. Mateus allowed his eyes to close and let out a breathy groan. Maria moaned through her teeth, and they both orgasmed before releasing each other carefully.
I have to go now, Maria.
Be sure to clean up.
You too, my dear.
While Maria took a shower, her heart ached; the purple-haired woman felt tears coming to her eyes. She let them fall and began to sob quietly. After she finished taking a shower and crying, Maria got dressed for dinner.
Come on, Maria, it's time for dinner!
Coming, Firion!
At dinner, Maria sat next to Firion and found his hazel eyes narrowing at her. She continued to stare at his face, while he grew increasingly angry. However, Maria didn't understand why. After dinner, Maria went upstairs to her room and closed the door behind her before locking it.
(Does he know? If so, how does Firion know?)
Maria started to panic and punched her bed, crawled underneath and covered herself with the blankets, closing her eyes and waiting for sleep to roll in. Suddenly, she heard her door handle jiggling; Maria shot up and ran to grab her sword, but then realized that it was Mateus.
(It must be Mateus, but why would he come through my door)
Maria hid behind her door and watched as it was kicked open. She peered around the edge, trying to see who had entered.
(Firion, what the hell)
Maria, I know what's been going on, come on out.
(What the hell, how does he know)
Firion saw Maria pecking at him and she closed her door, turning to face him. Maria backed into a corner, while Firion angrily walked towards her, locking eyes with her.
"Did you think I wouldn't find out?"
Find out about wha-
Firion gripped the damsel's throat as his eyes narrowed once more, glaring at Maria. She struggled to break free, looking into Firion's eyes.
Don't pretend that you don't know.
What do you know about?
I know about you and Mateus; you're gonna have to choose between him or me!
But-
Or… we're done.
The next day, Firion and Maria stopped talking to each other or even making eye contact. The purple-haired woman ran back upstairs to her room, then slammed the door shut and locked it.
What the hell, am I gonna do!?
"What is wrong, my dear?"
Please leave.
"What is the reason for this?"
Maria explained what had happened, and Mateus gave her a comforting hug before they talked again. Maria leaned on Mateus's shoulder.
I just don't understand how he found out, Mateus.
Me neither; were we not being careful enough?
After Maria had calmed down, Mateus saw her get off his shoulder, and Maria saw him get up, facing her as he raised a brow before he began to speak.
Look, Maria, if it makes you happy, I'll stop coming to see you. You can be with Firion.
"What?"
You have earned a merciful death, and may you be with your true love.
Mateus I-
It's for your own good, Maria. Farewell.
The next day, Maria found Firion playing the piano, and he didn't even make eye contact with her. She walked up to his side, but he still didn't make eye contact with her.
I-
Do not speak to me.
Listen to what I have to say.
"Why?"
Firion looked at Maria with a glare, before she sat down next to him. Firion moved away, and Maria then looked at him in the eyes.
I'm sorry; I should have told you what was going on in the first place. But I didn't, and I'm sorry for that.
Sorry isn't going to make it better; you knew you were wrong from the start.
I know damn it and I-
"I am finished speaking with you!"
Maria saw Firion get up and walk away; just as he was about to leave, her eyes filled with tears and she stood up.
I chose you!
What?
I chose you, I want to prove it too!
Firion turned around and faced the damsel, walking up to her, looking deep into her eyes; he could see in them that she was telling the truth. His gaze softened as he did so.
At night, Guy and Leon head home, while Maria and Firion continue to get along. Guy and Leon bid farewell to Maria and Firion.
"What do I do now?"
"I don't know, Maria,"
They head upstairs to Firion's room this time. Maria is the first to walk in, looking at the pillows. Firion approaches from behind, arms at her sides.
What are you doing, Firion?
Mmmmmmm...
Maria felt Firion's lips connect with her neck, and she nearly froze. One of his arms was wrapped around her stomach, as he licked her neck, waiting for her true reaction.
"Uh... I... Ugh... Firion."
(Hehe, Maria)
Firion chuckled, knowing Maria was weak to his charms. She carefully threw him onto the bed, and they shared a passionate night together.
