OCTOBER
Seth grabbed Thora's hair and pulled her head up from the kitchen table to hear her cry out loudly while he pounded into her from behind. She was shaking and moaning, giving him everything he needed in that moment. He came a few seconds after her and held still. He let go of her hair, wrapped his arms around her, and placed a kiss on her neck.
"Sorry, I couldn't wait," he said.
They both had their jeans down by their knees, and their shirts were still on. They had just arrived to his house and was talking about what to make for dinner when he suddenly couldn't wait. He had to have her in that moment so he bent her over the kitchen table and went crazy on her. Something she clearly enjoyed by the sounds of it.
"It's okay," she giggled.
He took a step back and pulled his jeans up. She pulled her jeans up too, spun around, smiled at him, and gave him a kiss.
"I'm gonna go clean up," she said.
"Just leave your jeans out there. They're gonna come off later anyway," he said.
"I'm not cooking naked. Oil is no fun when hot," she said.
He laughed and smacked her ass. She squealed and ran out of the kitchen. He could hear her laugh all the way to the bathroom. Once the bathroom door closed, he looked at the fridge. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He had been having this stomach ache for a while now. He grabbed on to the kitchen counter with one hand and placed the other hand on his stomach. He didn't hear the bathroom door open again or Thora come walking back.
"Are you in pain again?" She asked.
She walked over to him and placed a hand on his stomach. He looked at her and saw nothing but concern in her eyes.
"It'll pass. It always does," he said.
"This is not normal, Seth. You need to see a doctor," she said.
"Doctors might be free where you're from but here we have to pay!" He snarled.
She took a step back and he immediately regretted his words when he saw the look in her eyes. He had hurt her. He hadn't meant to.
"I'm sorry," he said. "I'm just scared, you know. This pain keeps coming back and I can't figure out why. I know I need to see a doctor about it and I will. I promise. I'll call first thing tomorrow morning and set up an appointment. Okay?"
She nodded as her only answer. He walked over to her and pulled her in for a hug.
"I'm sorry, pumpkin. I didn't mean to hurt you," he said.
"You scared me," she said.
"I scared you?" He asked.
"You've never shouted at me before. It came out of nowhere. I wasn't prepared," she said.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," he said.
"It's okay. I understand that you're scared what might be causing it. I'm scared too," she said.
He gently grabbed her chin and leaned down to peck her lips.
"It's gonna be okay. A bit of stomach pain won't take me out. I swear that whatever it is, I'm gonna do whatever it takes for it to stop," he said. "Don't worry, pumpkin. As long as I have you by my side, I can get through anything life might throw at me."
