Page 16 of Consequences

Her gasps and clawing of the bedspread pull him from his thoughts about the fishing tournament he had on last night when he couldn’t sleep. Who can think about fishing when the love of their life is moaning in pleasure beneath him?

“Oh fuck,” she whispers as her body quivers and shudders against him.

Her pussy clenches his cock, milking him, and with one final thrust, he comes hard. “Baby!”

“Wow,” Hailey pants as he slides out of her, letting her legs fall to the bed. “I needed that.”

Throwing the latex into the trash, he climbs beside her and kisses her neck. Now feels like the right time to tell her how he feels. “I have something to tell you.”

“I have something to tell you, too,” she says, making his heart soar.

Maybe she’s ready to let me in all the way. That she’s not as resistant as I thought she was.

Rather than cuddle with him, which would be a nice change since they rarely find a bed these days, she climbs off the bed and begins to dress. “What are you doing?”

“I have to go.”

“Okay. Can I see you tonight?”

She pulls her shirt over her head after clasping her bra, covering the gorgeous tits he didn’t pay enough attention to. “No.”

“Are you watching the kids? Because I can come and hang out with you.”

“I’m going to college, Gavin.”

Gavin frowns and tries to figure out what she means. “We’ve talked about it. I’m fine doing the long-distance thing, but we were going to wait to make any final decisions until you left.”

“I was accepted early.”

“What does that mean?”

Smiling, it doesn’t reach her eyes. “I’m leaving to move into my dorm. Today. My car is packed and ready to go. I wanted to give you a proper goodbye before I left.”

Jumping off the bed, he slips into his boxers and places his hands on her shoulders to stop her as he puts together the puzzle. “Wait, what?”

“When I leave the clubhouse, I’m heading to campus.”

“I can go with you. Help you move your stuff—”

“No.”

His hands fall to his sides. “No?”

“This is going to be easier if we just make a clean break. End things on a fantastic note.”

She gave me a goodbye fuck.“We can make it work, Hailey.”

“It’s easier if we just walk away now. When I come back on breaks, if we’re both still single, we can see how we feel and maybe hang out. You’re special to me, but we’re not going to have time to spend together. Without time, we’ll fall apart. I want to leave on good terms with the great memories.”

“So, that’s it? You’re going to fuck me and leave?Goodbye, Gavin. Have a nice life and thanks for the orgasm?Is that what this is?”

Tying her shoes, she stands and closes her eyes, letting out a long sigh. “Pretty much, I guess.”

“You just made the decision without me. A relationship is two people, and I want to make this work, Hailey. You’re the greatest person I’ve ever met, and I want to be with you. Even if it’s only on breaks until you’re done with college. I’ll figure out how to make time for us.”

“You don’t get it,” she whispers as she opens her eyes and locks her gaze on him. “You’re a Prospect, and you’re setting yourselfup to stay in Griffin’s Beach. I want out of this town. We can’t work.”

This is news to him. They’d never talked this far into the future before, but she’d never said she wanted to leave Griffin’s Beach and never come back. “You’re planning to one day not come back at all?”
