Playlist - Dreams by Fleetwood Mac

Astoria

Heat rushed through my veins even before our mouths met and when they collided, it fused with sizzling magnetic force. We were both insatiable. His urgent kiss deprived me of my oxygen. It's what he loved doing to me.

His fingers flexed around my neck tighter before loosening the hold and finally allowing me to breathe. His devastating mind numbing kiss melted right in his arms.

When he finally released my lips, both of us gasped for air. The rush of oxygen made me dizzy. I slumped in his arms, resting my head on his shoulder. His embrace felt warm and comforting even though we were risking being caught by the passersby.

His hands gripped the back of my thighs, traveling up until he could my buttocks.

"I think we should probably go back to the carnival. The employees can walk on us any moment." I lifted my head up to look at him despite my glazing vision. He had tossed my glasses somewhere before he mounted on me.

He cupped my cheeks, I leaned into his touch. He leaned down to kiss my nose.

"And get me my glasses. I can barely see without them."

"You get lasik done once we graduate. Glasses are a hassle. I want you to be able to see me when I fuck you."

"Aren't you getting ahead of yourself? It's just a two week thing and we are already on the fourth day. You have been fucking me nonstop."

"I know you'll beg to fuck you in future."

"No, I will not," I scoffed. "We will not see each other after graduation anyway."

"What makes you so sure of it?"

"Because you and I don't belong in the same sphere of life. I am an orphan, Axel. I can't be dependent on the money my grandparents left me. I have to work to survive in this world. You and I can never be a future thought."

"Hmm... at least the future Astoria will have some good fucking to look back on. Don't you think so?" I know he had a cheshire smile on his face.

"Think what you want to." I pushed his chest. "Now go get my glasses."

He was such a cocky bastard. I was damn well not going to let him have his way all the time. But then, he could also be the most devastatingly sweetest cat. We came to this carnival which was two towns away from ours. No one knew our identities and we could have all the fun we could possibly want to have.

Axel' dirty mind always had a trick under his sleeves. Somehow he had convinced me too to let him fuck me here. Although I stopped him when we teetered towards the edge of intensity. And I wasn't the one for public sex.

With my glasses on, our hands clasped together, we toured the entire carnival making small pit stops for the stalls that caught our attention. Axel suggested we try the ferris wheel ride, but I was too scared to get on it.

"Quit being a baby. We used to get on ferris wheels all the time as kids." Despite my relentless efforts to protest against the idea, Axel heeded no pay at all and dragged me along with him.

"That was a long time ago. It's not the same anymore. I don't wanna go!"

To my surprise, he let me go.

"Okay, fine." He raised his hands in resignation. "Be a coward, but I am going without you."

"Don't be ridiculous. You, of all people, hate it. You want me with you just so you can torment me."

"Are you implying that I am scared of a mere ferris wheel?" I couldn't help but chuckle at his applaud expression. "Fine. I will go alone. I am afraid of nothing."

I think protecting someone you care about is a natural instinct and not many knew about Axel's fear of heights. It was cute that he tried to act cool in front of me, but I knew him better. He would always take a company with him to such rides and I was always that company despite my own fears of falling from heights.

He looks adorable when I walked towards him. "You don't need to pretend in front of me." I ran my fingers through his luscious hair. "Of course, I won't let you go alone. You're basically a flight risk in that cage."

"Whatever." He tossed my hand away. "You coming or not?"

I sighed. "You give me no choice. I hate you at times."

"And the rest?" His shimmering blue gems drilling into mine.

"Hmm not so much." I laughed, kissing him.

My jaw was hurting the number of times I kept clenching my teeth. I felt livid and freaked stupid watching Jenna flock herself around Axel. What did she think of herself? From the train of gossip going on in school, Axel was done with her. Broken and dusted.

But her pride was clearly wounded. She wouldn't until she had Axel back again. Like hell she will. If Axel actually cared about our arrangement then he would know better than to engage with Jenna in any form.

The last time I had checked his instagram, he was still very much following his ex' account. I stalked his page, he had never posted himself on his account only ever about football. I guess, I was being irrational stalking him on instagram when I wasn't even his follower. We had never followed each other on instagram and I certainly wouldn't be the one to tell him to follow me on the page.

It would not only be embarrassing, but will also goad his ego. That's the last thing I wanted.

I took a deep breath, and fished out my phone to quickly type a text to Axel.

We are exclusive, right? I hit send.

From across the dining hall, I watched Axel. He was laughing about something I didn't know. No sooner, he checked his messages and the grin on his face dialed down to a cruel smirk. That bas-

My phone binged, I checked for his message.

Yes.

What the hell? A one worded reply? That was not done. Furious, I typed.

Then why do you look so cozy with that girl next to you? Wasn't she your ex? I hit send and didn't look over at him. He would just make me angry.

We have a two weeks fucking period. Not for eternity.

His reply made me even more furious. Contemplating whether I should stoop down to get an appropriate response from him, I hastily typed back.

That's right. I should probably tell Joseph to wait for a few days before I agree to go on a date with him. It wouldn't be fair to him if I kept fucking you behind his back.

Satisfied, I kept my phone down and went back to lunch. I admit it was low even for me to lie to make Axel jealous, but I didn't care.

Despite my heart beating like a mad metronome, I went back to my sandwich and took a bite of it. I waited fiercely for Axel's reaction. I know it was nerve wracking to push his buttons the wrong way, but I wouldn't sit being insulted and discarded aside just like that.

We both will end our relationship for good, mutually.

My gaze trained on my sandwich and ears on high alert as I waited for him to make the move. Then, in an instant, he was there. Staring down at me with an intensity I couldn't fathom.

From all the things he could've done, I would have never anticipated him doing the unthinkable.

He gripped my hair in his fist, and hoisted one leg on top of my bench. My head was pulled back to rest on top of his knees. He was looking down at me and everything else didn't matter anymore, receded far back of my brain.

The intensity that pulsed through us translated into a mind numbing kiss. Our mouths were on fire. His smoldering kiss was everything that I ever wanted. He wasted no time, giving me his affection.

It was deep and engulfing that I had forgotten all about our surroundings. It wasn't until he broke the kiss that I could breathe and comprehend what he just did. He staked his claim on me right in front of the school. For everyone to see our maddening kiss.

He put up a show and made me his lead and now there was pindrop silence in the cafeteria. Mind you, our cafeteria hall had capacity to hold all of the students. He made a spectacle in front of everyone.

"Now, tell me who devoured your lips?" He hissed, his hand wrapped around my neck. "Say it."

"You." I choked out.

"Say my goddamn name."

"You, Axel."

"That's right. The only name that should be on your lips is fucking mine." He tightened his grip around my neck. "And you brought this on yourself."

His wicked fingers danced over the waistband of my underwear before slipping beneath them and continued their assault on me. His fingers were meant to torture me when they parted my folds and teased my insides. I moaned breathlessly. My blood heating at his acts. I dropped my head back and arched my back.

I was a liquid mush in his hands and it's the last thing I wanted to be. It was mortifying for me to be in his position with his weight on top of me. He did nothing to ease the burden of his weight on me.

"Amazing. Beautiful," He breathed against the valley of my breast. His moth trailing slow kisses up my collarbone. "You're so mine, toots."

"Temporarily." Even from my haze, I felt the need to remind him of our set boundaries.

"That's why you were jealous, weren't you? Because we are temporary. Its a temporary bliss between us and the visual of seeing other girls with me pissed you off."

Tongue tied because he had caught me this time.

"No!"

"I was jealous too. When you mentioned some dipshit in your text. I saw nothing but red. I have never experienced that before."

I licked my lips, his confession making me wetter than I was. He was livid too. I had hit it right where I knew it would sting him.

"I missed you a lot this morning." He bit my neck.

His weight eased from my body only for a moment because his hands went straight to my calves and gripped them tightly.

"Wait, what are you doing?" I asked unsure.

"Shush! Trust me."

He pinned my legs to my abdomen nd this position gave more of a breathing room to Axel because we were in the backseat of his car. Before I could react what was happening his body covered mine and he slammed right into me. The intrusion was coming and stretched me to new heights.

He groaned, the sound low and earthy making me frenzy in turn. He thrusted mercilessly, going harder and deeper, his rhythm was set to torture me. It built up then slowed down and I felt the need to scream.

He covered my face with kisses and nuzzled my nose with his. I was aching and gasping for air. The pleasure building up wouldn't allow me to breathe properly, not without trembling like a chicken being beheaded.

"Axel, please."

He kept fucking me on the edge of the seat and went in deeper, groaning. His face beside mine, he relentlessly pushed me to my limit.

"My father wants me to become a lawyer. He says that I have a tendency for having things played in my favor."

"You've good at manipulation, you mean." I gripped his hair. "Don't I know any better."

"It is true. I love to win too, but I hate the fact that he suggested that I become a lawyer."

"I have never seen you lose any debates." It was true. He was masterful with his words and his ability to twist any circumstance to his benefit astonished me.

"I am the best here. It can't be true when I go to Yale. I am not the best everywhere."

"If you work hard, then nothing is impossible."

How many times did we share our dreams, aspirations, thoughts with each other in his garden, out in the wide fields of the estate? But never like this. Never with his fucking me and sharing his doubts and certainty not in the backseat of his car which he had parked near the woods.

He claimed my lips again. This time pouring his frustration into the kiss.

"Axel, you can't keep coming inside me," I said in between breathy kisses. "It's risky."

"I am clean and so are you."

Anger stirred inside me. "That's a ridiculous thing to say and has nothing to do with the point I am making. You can't keep coming inside me. Period. I can get pregnant and that's the last thing either of us wants in our lives."

"I'll pull out."

"You said that last night, but you didn't. Get off me if you can't listen to one simple request I make." I pushed his chest, but he was stronger than me in every aspect.

When he came for a kiss again, I bit his lip, drawing out blood from his split lip.

"Oh. you shouldn't have done that, bitch." His chuckle was lace with malice.

I slapped his face. "Don't call me that again." My hand blazed with the sting of the hit.

"Fine, you want to be treated nasty. I will give you that."

His weight lifted off me only to crawl up my body. I tensed as he sat on my chest. His thighs massive and his manhood right in my face, poking my chin. There was something extraordinary sexy about the way he handled himself. I should be running uphill, but the anticipation of what he would do got the better of me.

Maybe I was deranged in the head.

He forced my mouth to open, my half-hearted protest did nothing to stop him. I was aroused and so was he. His fist pumped and he groaned when his warm liquid painted my mouth and face.

"Fuck, you're hot."

I was shaking like a leaf. Completely at his mercy. He forced me to swallow him. But before I could come back to my senses, he fished out his phone and clicked my picture.

He showed me the image. I was spent with his liquid splattered on my face.

"This is my favorite image of you."

"You're such a bloody maniac. Wipe it off from my face."

"Who was the guy he mentioned in your text?" He asked, oddly calm.

"Axel, w-what?"

"Wait, Joseph was it?" He asked, mockingly. "From art class?"

I shook my head. I had a bad feeling about what was going on in his brain and my worst fears came to alive when he dialed something on his phone and moments later, it was answered.

"Axel, what is it?" A male voice answered.

"Hey, Joseph. I just want to tell you if I see you anywhere near Astoria ever again, I just want you to remember this, I will ruin your life. You'll be done before you know it."

"She gave me her number. I had nothing to do with it."

"Is that so?" He smiled at me. "Then you ought to see what I do to her."

"Axel, have you lost your mind?" I frantically pushed him away.

He didn't listen to one word I said instead fucked me again, this time we had an audience member to watch. He fucked to make a statement and it was loud and clear because Joseph ended the call before Axel was done.

This time Axel came inside me.

***
I was angry beyond repair.

To compensate for what he did, Axel pampered me for the remainder of the week. I was giving him the silent treatment. It's what he deserved after he fucked me with Joseph on the call. How maddening was that?"

To my surprise and relief. no knew anything about the incident in the school. It gave me a breather because I was already the target of gossip at school after Axel kissed me in front of everyone.

I heard some say that it was a dare he had to do while others insist that he was doing me a favor by putting me on the social map. I had vehemently told Axel to stay away from me at school, in a text.

He honored my request and stayed away from me. When I was doing my prom community duties, he had sent our team sandwiches and ice shakes. It was a sweet gesture, but I wasn't impressed by it.

I know it was driving him crazy to not being able to get me to talk. Even during our fucking session, I stayed still. I should be given an award for not showing any signs of how mad he made me when played me like an instrument.

Apart from Axel, I was still unsure how my future living condition will turn out to be. With Winter acting out of sorts. I had to talk to my uncle about an idea that was brewing in my head.

Speaking of Winter, she was behaving unlike herself. She stayed out of the house most of the time and when she returned, she looked like a mess to me. I had no idea what she was brewing in her head, but I was worried for her.

Also, I was worried about myself. I don't know what will happen after our next week. With the amount of times, he had come inside me, I was worried that I would become pregnant with his child.

I wanted to fight with him on this matter, but with the silent treatment going on, I couldn't get the matter up front.

Last night Axel suggested that we go out for movies, and we went only to find his soccer buddies at the theater. Instead, we watched the movie from separate seats because he couldn't be seen with me.

I don't know whether he was embarrassed of me. He was quick to brush me aside when he saw his friends. I was half tempted to walk out of the theater yet I stayed to see what all would unfold.

When he dropped off at the cottage, he made up an excuse to go back to his friends. I was hurt, but I didn't let him see it on my face.

After school hours, our class stayed back to continue planning for the senior prom event. It was going to be the most talked about thing this year and Rebecca, the head of the committee was obsessed about getting everything done before time. Her boyfriend was a senior so out of us, only she would be attending the prom and she wanted everything perfect for her big night.
