Chapter 62: Promises

Chapter 62

In a storming memory.

The June rain tapped the windows softly, wind howling against the edges of the roof gently, and thunder rolled low, distant yet soothing—something that could lure people into eternal sleep.

The cottage wasn’t big, but it was their hideaway, their solace from people, tucked away from their busy noses and monitoring eyes. The cottage was their solace, just the two of them to be with themselves.

Aaron had texted Katherine earlier to meet at their hideout — I’m waiting for you at the cottage. I want to play the new piece I composed.

The text was simple and direct, which made Katherine smile when she received the message in class. She couldn’t wait to be with him and listen to his new masterpiece.

Aaron only played piano whenever he was free, and Katherine was the source of his inspiration—though his mother wanted him to branch into music professionally, he didn’t like it as a profession.

Katherine opened the private cottage door, drenched from the rain — she didn’t wait for the rain to stop before she ran off, not waiting for her friend because Aaron was waiting for her.

Her blouse clung to her body like a second skin, her backpack slightly tilted, and her hair soaked to her scalp. The rain was heavier than she had thought from the classroom window.

Her legs were slightly trembling from the cold, her boots squelching softly as she stepped inside, eyes searching for the familiar warmth of the wooden interior.

Her emerald gaze met his russet eyes.

"You’re soaked," Aaron had murmured, standing slowly from the piano seat, his face unreadable, yet his gaze was hooded with desire.

Katherine shivered slightly under his dark gaze, her hands fiddling with the straps of her bag. She felt exposed under his eyes because she knew her blouse was nearly transparent from the rain, and she could feel shivers crawling over her skin from the cold—and from the way he looked at her.

The look made her heart rate spike, her throat parched, staring at him.

"Then warm me up," she had whispered, her voice low and breathless, and the words left her mouth before she could rethink them.

Aaron reached her in three steps, his hands grabbing her cheeks, caressing them. Her cheeks were cold and flushed. His hands trailed to her waist and pulled her closer, her wet clothes meeting his dry ones.

Then he bent his head a little, his eyes staring deep into hers, then pecked her lips. He pecked her lips again, then enveloped her lips fully. The kiss started soft, just brushing against one another before it turned into a frantic, desperate, and frenzied kiss.

He pulled her closer until it felt like her body wanted to merge with his as he hurled her up immediately, and Katherine wrapped her legs around his waist.

Aaron didn’t stop the hungry kiss until he entered the room and dropped her on the bed with a plop while Katherine released a yelp.

Aaron, without stopping, gently undressed her from her wet clothes, discarded them to one side of the room without caring, and rested his face on her boobs.

Trailing kisses from her left boob while kneading the other gently, giving both the same attention as he flicked the hardened nipple, nibbling them softly as Katherine arched her back and released moans.

Katherine tugged the sheet tighter, her lower region gaping for friction as she pulled Aaron’s head tighter on her breast, and her body buzzed.

"Aaron," her voice came muffled as she arched her back.

"Yes, babe," Aaron responded, his voice hoarse. "What do you want?" he asked, then intentionally brushed his finger against her drenched fold, and her breathing hitched.

"You are teasing me," her doe eyes blinked innocently at him, yet her swollen parted lips looked so inviting that he couldn’t help but kiss them again.

"Babe," his chest rumbled, his finger already at her pussy. He couldn’t help but slap the clit.

"Uhn! Aaron!" her hands that were running through his hair tugged the roots like she wanted to remove them.

Aaron grinned into her lips and teasingly rubbed his bulge on her wetness. She shivered, her eyes nearly rolled back.

They had sex all day — the sex moved from slow lovemaking that conveyed their undying love to each other, then to fucking like hungry animals in heat.

Their bodies moved with a kind of rhythm that didn’t need words. Only gasps and moans filled the cottage as their hearts beat in sync.

After taking each other to the heaven and hell of orgasm, spasming from pleasure, the rain kept hammering outside the window, yet he had his arms around her like a blanket.

Their naked bodies intertwined, sweat-coated bodies as Aaron had his head rested against her neck and their legs tangled. The room glowed softly from the lamp, giving more sense of intimacy in the room.

"Stay..." Aaron murmured against her shoulder, his voice low, still had the after-sex deep voice and a tinge of longing as he held her tighter, "Stay the night."

Katherine blinked, a smile curling on her lips as her fingers threaded through his hair. "You know I’d never leave," she whispered.

"I’m leaving tomorrow," he said, "Traveling with the team to the next town... that new match."

"I know," she said softly, then kissed the top of his head. "I’ll be right here when you come back."

His arms tightened around her. "Promise?"

She laughed gently. "I’ll always stay with you."

That was the last night they shared before everything shattered.

Before the lies.

Before the betrayal.

Before she was forced to leave everything behind.

That night, they had spoken about their future. He’d told her that once he returned from that game, he was going to tell his mom everything. About them. About how he didn’t care what anyone thought. He was going to ask her to marry him.

And she believed him and was happy. She was overjoyed even when she got to know she was now pregnant but — it was just her flimsy dream.

He made her believe everything would be alright, yet like a foolish young girl, she did.

And then when he came back, everything went astray, even though what they shared that night felt ethereal.
