Chapter 1734
Living in the countryside versus the city was like night and day. Out in the sticks, it's all about survival, and folks might not always stick to the straight and narrow.
Audrey hesitated for a moment, thinking of slipping away quietly. She decided to keep the info to herself since she couldn't control the situation.
Out of the blue, Finn flashed a grin and quipped, "Hey, Hazel, where's your cousin who teaches in the city? Haven't spotted her around Westbrook Village."
"Oh no! Why the sudden interest in Audrey?" Hazel gasped, catching her breath from Finn's teasing. Despite the chilly weather, they were outside and not breaking a sweat, but Hazel felt a shiver run down her spine.
"Just making conversation," Finn said, giving Hazel a playful squeeze. "It's almost New Year's, and she hasn't dropped by to see her kin."
"Hazel, I'm warning you, don't even think about Audrey." Hazel suddenly caught on to Finn's motives, her expression darkening. "You've got me, ain't that enough for you?"
"Don't get all worked up, Hazel." Finn wrapped his arms around Hazel's slender frame, running his hands over her. "I haven't messed around with city girls yet. How about this, help me hook up with Audrey, and I'll leave you be. Deal?"
Audrey seethed with anger. This guy not only had Hazel but was also eyeing her. What a total jerk.
"No way, absolutely not! Forget about it," Hazel asserted firmly, even though Finn had a hold on her. She kept shaking her head, refusing to stoop to such a low level. She might be at an age where her reputation didn't matter much, but Audrey was young and a high school teacher in the city. If Finn tainted her, how could she live with herself?
"Alright, alright," Finn relented when he saw Hazel's unwavering stance. He hadn't thought he'd have a shot with someone like Audrey. As he eyed Hazel's curves, an idea popped into his head. He had Hazel get on all fours, lifted her ample rear, and entered her from behind. He lay on her back, hands reaching around to fondle her breasts, squeezing them as he thrust into her. He panted, saying, "Your breasts are something else. Let me savor this moment, okay? How's that feel?"
"Oh, Finn!" Hazel, feeling the intense sensation as Finn's member pressed against her, her body responding with tingles and wetness, shamelessly moved her hips and moaned, "Yes, Finn, that's amazing."
Finn shut his eyes, picturing the woman beneath him as Audrey, thrusting with more force. He fondled her breasts, murmuring, "Ms. Johnson, you're so tight, feels incredible. I've had my eye on you. Those curves drive me wild. Bet you can't get enough. Today, I'll make you feel good."
Audrey observed Finn's violation of Hazel, her cheeks burning with embarrassment. She cursed his audacity. She hadn't realized his true intentions towards her. She had misjudged him. Watching Finn with Hazel, a strange sensation stirred in her core, as if she were the one being taken advantage of.
"I'm about to blow!" Finn, envisioning Audrey's ample chest, couldn't hold back. He climaxed inside Hazel, panting and scanning the area. Suddenly, his gaze met Audrey's from behind a screen. Nervous, was someone watching?
Alissa, Grace, and Kimberly relaxed in the hot tub. When Audrey didn't return, Grace suggested searching for her, but Kimberly preferred a swim in the pool. The trio went their separate ways.
Grace admired Kimberly's statuesque figure and remarked to Alissa, "Out of all of us, Kimberly has the ideal marriage. She's a teacher, her husband's a local official, and he's so tall. It's truly something to envy."
Byron wasn't entirely useless. Despite his shyness, he was attentive to her needs. However, their differences were stark. When they stood side by side, they looked more like a mother and son duo than a couple. Grace, proud and conscious of her reputation, always felt awkward being seen with Byron. Marriage is a big deal for women. If you end up with an unreliable man, it can ruin your life. Alissa didn't have high expectations for her husband. As long as he didn't hold her back, she was content.
As they hiked up the mountain, grumbling about their spouses, Audrey was conspicuously absent. The breeze had a nip to it, prompting them to ditch their towels and dip into a nearby hot tub to warm up.
Grace glanced at Alissa, pondering how she had shielded the affair between Audrey and Kevin from her. Feeling a twinge of irritation, she couldn't resist asking, "Alissa, have you been getting cozy with Kevin lately?"
"No," Alissa was caught off guard. "Why the sudden interest?"
"Just curious," Grace stretched out her long, toned legs, almost floating on the water's surface. Her ample bosom stood proudly, her flat stomach taut and smooth, emitting a magnetic allure that captivated men.
"What about you, have you two been at it?" Alissa inquired.
"We had a rendezvous. Just last night," Grace smirked. "Three times."
"Well, how could you sneak around with Kevin behind my back?" Alissa was genuinely upset, sitting upright, her generous curves swaying. "I trusted you so much."
"Alissa, don't play innocent," Grace sneered. "You've got your secrets, don't you?"
"What secrets?" Alissa felt a pang of guilt at Grace's knowing smile. "Do I need to spill everything about my family to you? Are you a detective?"
"Don't dodge the issue." Grace splashed water with her remarkably long legs, pursing her lips. "Just spill it. What's the deal with Audrey and Kevin?"
Alissa was taken aback and fell silent. How did Grace find out? She hadn't breathed a word. Was it Kevin?
Grace chuckled, "Come on, we've been pals since middle school. You kept Audrey and Kevin's secret under wraps. If Kevin hadn't blabbed, I wouldn't have a clue."
It was indeed Kevin. Alissa decided to come clean, "Alright, I hid this from you. What's your move now?"
"What can I do? The more, the merrier," Grace said with a grin. "If you're okay with it, I am too. Even if it's the three of us, I'm game."
"Grace, I'm sorry. I meant to bring this up with you too," Alissa apologized. "But you're so blunt. I was worried you'd spill the beans to Audrey. It would make things awkward for everyone. Audrey has no clue about you and Kevin. If she finds out, it could be a lot to handle."
"What's the difference? If she can handle you, why not me?" Grace shot Alissa a look. "Let's just lay it all out for both of them. No need to keep it under wraps. It's tiring for everyone."
"No, let's hold off for now," Alissa shook her head. She understood Audrey's nature. Just because Audrey could accept her didn't guarantee she'd accept Grace. Rushing things might only make matters worse. The status quo could still be maintained. If Audrey got upset, it could ruin the New Year for all of them.
"Well, I think Audrey is a bit too uptight," Grace remarked. "Kevin isn't exclusively hers. She's a cousin, and I'm the godmother. Why should I have to seek her approval? If she can't handle it, she can walk away."
"You're oversimplifying," Alissa said, a hint of irritation in her voice. "I'll tell you something you won't like. If Kevin had to choose, both of us probably wouldn't be as significant to him as Audrey is."
"She's just a bit more endowed. Big deal. You're no slouch," Grace, though putting on a brave front, acknowledged Alissa's point. She was confident in her physique, except for her smaller chest compared to Alissa's. If she had Alissa's bust size, she'd feel more on par with Audrey.
Alissa smiled wryly, feeling a twinge of bitterness. Among the three, she felt she had the least to offer. She lacked Audrey's beauty and impressive breasts, as well as Grace's athletic build and ample rear. Plus, both were closer to Kevin than she was. While Grace had the confidence to challenge Audrey, Alissa didn't feel she had the same standing.
Certainly, Grace joining their circle would benefit her too. With Grace and Audrey at odds, Alissa could play peacemaker, making Kevin even more reliant on her.
