“LET’S MAKE THIS QUICK”

Lara's chest did not stop throbbing because of what Joaquin said.

It means that she and her boyfriend are the same. They both wanted what had happened this morning to the point that that hadn’t been enough for them.

"Joaquin, someone might see us," she whispered as Joaquin released her lips.

Her boyfriend smiled then grabbed her left breast then started massaging it. "Don't tell me you don't like this?" he teases her.

Lara immediately moaned because of that. Then, with the real heat that she felt drawing all over her body, she was the one who made the way to put their mouth back together.

"Take me now," she said for a moment, quitting kissing Joaquin, and then kissing him again.

Joaquin wasted no time after she said that. She knows why and she understands it. The two of them have a strong attraction for each other. And the longing she feels her boyfriend feels for her is also not trivial.

"I admire your talent in making a woman subdue," she said, glancing at her boyfriend's handsome face and then staring at him with pure seduction.

"Stop, we might not end this quick if continue seducing me," Joaquin told her in a threatening tone.

Instead of being scared or nervous because of what her boyfriend said, Lara felt an intense romantic excitement. "Hurry up, please," she said then moaned when she felt her boyfriend start to take off her panties.

No more words came between the two of them after that. Because what happened next was that Joaquin's readiness finally penetrated her to her core.

"Fuuuccckkkk ---," she said between gasps.

She had never experienced such a wonderful feeling even though her breathing was no longer normal.

"So good! Mmmmnnnn ---,” she whispered gasping again then pulled Joaquin's neck and kissed the young man hard. “Go deep, please, yes! That’s it!” she said raising her head and then breathing in succession.

Lara's restraint at those moments made a little noise. That was despite the fact that she already wanted to cry because of the sheer joy she felt.

And just like Joaquin told her she made that claim to her very quickly. But that doesn’t mean it’s less satisfying than what they did this morning. Because if she was the one to be asked, the excitement and haste that they both feel now added to the joy and warmth that Joaquin brought with that claim on her until they reached the other side together.

"Have dinner at home," Lara offered to Joaquin when they were on the trip.

“Sure, I will not deny that. But can't I bother Uncle Rodolfo and Callie?” Joaquin asked. Lara even noticed that he smiled when he mentioned their daughter's name.

Lara shook her head one after another. "It's not that you don't have to worry," he said here.

*****

“UNCLE Joaquin!” that was the excited and eager greeting Callie to Joaquin when they arrived at their house.

"Hello, beautiful," he greeted the child in return and then carry her afterward.

Callie didn't answer first and instead kissed the young man on both cheeks.

"I wish you are my Papa," Callie told Joaquin.

Lara and Rodolfo immediately looked at each other because of what the girl said. Then, regardless of the pounding of her chest, Lara decided to take Callie from her boyfriend. Something that her daughter refused.

"Mama, I want to stay here with Uncle Joaquin for a while. Please?" she said, hugging the man's neck tightly.

"B-But baby, he's tired ---,"

"No, it's okay, sweetheart," Joaquin told her so she persuaded him.

"All right, I'll leave you there and fix the table first," she said, turning his back on them afterward.

Her father followed her into the kitchen. He helped her set the table. It was already ten o'clock in the evening, so she knew that her father and Callie had their dinner already.

"How long will you keep the truth from your boyfriend, Lara?" Rodolfo asked in a low voice.

"I don't know either, papa," she replied following what she said with a weak sigh.

“You know that sooner or later Joaquin will surely discover your secret. I know your situation is not easy, but that's what you need to muster up enough courage, Lara.”

Lara smiled at what her father said. After that, she stared at his kind face lovingly.

“Pa, I'm happy to be with you two and Callie. But God was kind. For the second time, He brought Joaquin and me together. I feel like He wants our family to be complete. He wanted to give me that opportunity, and most of all to Callie,” she added.

“I believe what you said, sweetheart. But you should also know how your boyfriend might react when he finds out the truth. I hope you don't prolong this,” her father told her. "I'll call Joaquin so you can eat," he added before leaving.

Lara just nodded in response to Rodolfo. While in her heart, she also knew that now she did not have enough courage to admit the truth to Joaquin. So, if she is to be questioned, she is not yet at that point. Because many things can happen when she speaks without thinking about it carefully.

She might end up losing the young man because he might be angry with her. Or worse, he might take Callie from her. Things she couldn’t afford and even in imagination, she didn’t wish of.

"Let's eat," she told the young man who entered the kitchen as soon as she finished setting the table.

"Sweetheart," the young man said as they started eating.

Lara raised her head and then stared at her boyfriend.

"Yeah?" she asked him

She saw the seeming hesitation on the young man's face which was eventually erased by his smile as well. “Is it okay if I ask about Callie’s father?”

Lara seemed stunned by the question she heard from her boyfriend. So, with quick motions, she immediately reached for the glass of water and drank.

"Are you okay?" Joaquin’s worried question then stood up.

Lara immediately signals to her boyfriend when she saw that he was ready to approach her. The worry had just disappeared from his face, so he was up again.

“If you’re not comfortable talking about him, it’s okay. I understand,” what Joaquin said was in the tone of his speech.

Lara's heart was touched by what her boyfriend said. Somehow, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although there is still a part of her heart that feels guilt for keeping a secret from him.

"The time will come when I can tell you about Callie's father," it was true in her.

"I can wait, Lara," he said with a smile of assurance afterward.
