Chapter 1582
"Well...sure, honey, no need to rush. Get some rest. Goodnight."
Jason managed a smile, feeling a bit awkward, but he didn't want to push it. As he turned away slowly, a sense of disappointment crept in. He had returned mainly to raise funds but also to reconnect with Audrey.
He had expected Audrey to be happy to see him back, but reality hit hard. Since his return, they had barely spoken for more than five minutes, mostly arguing about Kevin's whereabouts.
Audrey wasn't in the mood for reading either. She closed her book, turned off the bedside lamp, and settled in to sleep. It had been a year since she and her husband had shared a bed, yet their hearts felt distant, unable to bridge the gap.
In the darkness, only the sound of their breathing filled the room. Audrey had wanted to ask Jason about the USB drive several times, but what was the point?
In Imperial City, a place filled with temptation and excitement, many people inevitably lost themselves. Even with a spouse by their side, straying was possible, especially for Jason, who had been alone for years.
Addressing physical needs was normal – eating when hungry, drinking when thirsty, sleeping when tired. Fulfilling physical needs was common, just like many rural women who sought solace in affairs out of loneliness. It didn't always signify betrayal, just a desperate act. Caroline was a prime example, having an affair with the village chief behind her husband's back, yet still living well with Jason's older brother.
Wasn't Audrey the same?
The first time Audrey saw Kevin's impressive cock, besides feeling surprised, nervous, and shocked, an indescribable desire stirred within her.
For a young woman whose sexual needs had long been neglected, Kevin's mature allure was tempting. If she could let go of her dignity as a teacher and a woman, Kevin's allure was within reach.
As a married woman, Audrey understood Kevin's true intentions in pursuing her. A teenage boy didn't grasp love; he simply desired physical intimacy, much like the boys in her class who approached her driven by curiosity and impulse towards a woman's body.
Yet she indulged Kevin, relishing the touch of his youthful body – holding hands, hugging, kissing, French kissing, skin-to-skin contact. She gradually surrendered her body to Kevin, which rightfully belonged to her husband, teetering on the edge between reason and desire. Her strong rational defenses crumbled under the waves of pleasure, leading her into a downward spiral of moral decay, from which there was no return. Whose fault was it now?
Jason wasn't to blame; he simply sought a better life. Kevin wasn't at fault either; who wouldn't be tempted by a young, attractive teacher? It seemed the only one to blame was herself, for not resisting temptation, for enticing Kevin. But was it wrong to desire a normal sex life like any other woman?
Suddenly, a text message pierced the darkness – Jason's phone. Audrey felt irritated; Jason had been chatting with his classmates all night, reminiscing about their school days. Was he back just to catch up with them, or did he have ulterior motives?
Forget it, Audrey couldn't be bothered. She had left Imperial City feeling numb, swearing not to care about Jason anymore. Let him do as he pleased.
Spotting the text on his phone, Jason swiftly switched to silent mode. With no sound from Audrey's side, he discreetly checked the message.
"Jason, just got out of the shower, all cozy in bed. My feet are freezing, come warm them up for me."
Kassy's messages always brimmed with enthusiasm, reigniting the fading spark in Jason's heart.
"Kassy, I miss you too. I want to hold you, kiss your feet, touch your breasts, smell your body."
"Mmm, Jason, stop it, I'm getting all tingly down there, starting to crave. Come and give me a taste."
"Kassy, I want to please you. My cock is throbbing, will you help me with that?"
"Jason, your cock is so thick and hard. Hurry up and slide it in, pound my pussy hard."
Jason shut his eyes, gripped his already stiff penis, and slowly stroked it. In Audrey's presence but miles away from her emotionally, he engaged in virtual intimacy, feeling the intense rush that swiftly led to release.
After the pleasure ebbed away, he was engulfed by self-reproach. Having intimacy with Kassy in Imperial City was one thing, but now back in Harmony County, flirting with Kassy behind his wife's back felt wrong. He felt remorseful for Audrey, but she had just rebuffed him earlier. He felt compelled and trapped.
Meanwhile, in the adjacent room, Kevin tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He yearned to sneak to Audrey's bedroom door to eavesdrop on what was unfolding inside, but he dreaded what he might hear. The idea of Jason's penis entering Audrey's vagina made him squirm. Deep down, he knew Audrey and Jason had been married for years, and even if their intimacy was infrequent, they must have shared intimate moments numerous times. Now, with Jason and Audrey reunited, how could they resist the urge to make love? Moreover, it was completely normal for a married couple to be intimate with each other. He was just seizing the opportunity, having toyed with someone else's wife for over half a year. He should be reveling in it, so why was he feeling uneasy?
At that moment, he yearned for Audrey's captivating and seductive body even more. Since moving into Audrey's house, after the initial thrill, Kevin had become accustomed to seeing Audrey unclothed. Audrey would comply whenever he desired. The intense passion he once felt while making love to Audrey had faded. Now, just catching a glimpse of her breasts would arouse him.
But the once easily accessible body now felt out of reach. Kevin cursed his foolishness. If he had known, he should have had sex with Audrey more in the morning. It wouldn't have been so straightforward.
Kevin felt his desire intensifying. He truly wanted to sneak into Audrey's bedroom and make love to her right in front of Jason.
He had seen many adult films with similar plots before. The husband would be sound asleep while the wife engaged in passionate intimacy with a secret lover, not daring to make a sound. It always excited him – the true essence of an affair.
Although he had played a risqué game with Cynthia in front of Edgar the other night, they hadn't gone all the way. The only time he did was with Grace in her bedroom, with Byron conversing with his wife on the other side of the door. There was also the incident at Alissa's house.
The episode at the Fairy Lake villa, where he was caught in the act with Natalie by Jasper, also came to mind. He had been intimate with Natalie in front of Jasper and his crew, but Jasper and Natalie weren't a married couple; they were more like lovers.
However, Audrey, with her cautious demeanor, would never agree to his scheme. Kevin didn't dare to take such a risk. Holding his phone, he resumed watching the adult video he hadn't finished in the afternoon, gripped his cock, and began pleasuring himself. Well, self-gratification it is.
Audrey opened her eyes, feeling wide awake. Jason was already snoring heavily beside her. How many nights had she yearned for Jason's company, to have him by her side through the long nights? But now that he was finally back, she found herself no longer accustomed to his presence.
She got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and quietly exited the bedroom. The living room was pitch dark, and the temperature was a few degrees cooler than in the bedroom, causing her bare legs to feel slightly chilly. Audrey headed to the bathroom, pondering how long Jason would be staying at home. Living with three people felt the most uncomfortable, caught between Jason and Kevin, torn between calming Kevin's restless emotions and avoiding raising suspicions from Jason. It was more troublesome than her initial days as a homeroom teacher.
Exiting the bathroom, she glanced at Kevin's room door, still feeling uneasy. She decided to check on him.
Audrey gently turned the doorknob, pushed the door open, and found Kevin lying on the bed, naked from the waist down, stroking himself with one hand while holding his phone in the other, lewd sounds emanating from the screen, clearly watching adult content.
"Kevin, what the heck are you doing?" Audrey frowned and briskly walked in.
As an educator, she loathed the idea of students being exposed to such obscene material. Since becoming a homeroom teacher, she had confiscated numerous pornographic comics and romance novels from the boys in her class — filled with explicit scenes and perverse plots that she, as a married woman, found intolerable.
Teenage boys were highly impressionable and lacked the discernment to separate right from wrong. Prolonged exposure to such indecent content could corrupt their minds, affect their studies, and even lead them astray.
She never imagined Kevin would indulge in such things, and it left her deeply disappointed.
"Ah, Audrey, what are you doing here?" Kevin jumped, quickly turned off his phone, and got off the bed without bothering to pull up his pants, his dick still hanging, looking quite ridiculous.
"Why aren't you asleep? Why are you watching that stuff? You're the Class President now. Can't you set a better example? I chose you as Class President to be a role model. You've really let me down," Audrey questioned, her face displeased, her proud chest rising and falling. This time, she was genuinely upset.
"Audrey, I'm sorry, I messed up." Kevin apologized, looking down, his dick also softening, "Just the idea of you and Jason together makes me uneasy; I can't sleep. Please don't be mad, I won't do it again."
Seeing Kevin's pitiful state and then his flaccid dick, which was still quite long, Audrey suddenly felt uneasy. In reality, Kevin had behaved quite well today. Despite some initial discomfort, he quickly adjusted his attitude, stopped provoking Jason, didn't keep bothering her, and instead resorted to self-relief quietly. She felt like she had overreacted.
