Chapter 291: Swatting Mosquitoes
Chapter 291: Swatting Mosquitoes
Julia had gone to San Francisco during the day to attend a business event. Since things wrapped up fairly early, she did not stay there and instead flew back. After running around all day, Julia had gone to bed early that night.
Then, after sleeping for an unknown amount of time, she vaguely sensed her bedroom door open and someone walk in.
It was not the first time Elisabeth had shared her bed, so Julia initially assumed Elisabeth had come over again to mooch a place to sleep and did not mind. It was only when the two figures started fooling around on the other side of the bed that Julia gradually realized something was wrong. At the same time, she very quickly identified the man’s identity.
While inwardly blaming Elisabeth for fooling around recklessly, Julia originally planned to quietly slip away before the two noticed her. But despite moving as carefully as possible, she had not even reached the edge of the bed before Eric’s gaze caught her.
Their eyes met, and both froze.
“Hurry up already. If you’re not going to do it, then let me go. I want to sleep. This feels so uncomfortable, all swollen and full,” Elisabeth, lying on the bed enjoying herself, muttered drowsily after noticing Eric had stopped moving.
So shameless. She can actually say something that embarrassing out loud, Julia inwardly grumbled.
At the same time, she realized that since Eric had already discovered her, there was no point sneaking away anymore. In any case, the girl lying there enjoying herself clearly had not noticed her.
Her original plan had been fine enough, until that hateful man suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
What was he trying to do?
Julia’s eyes widened even further, carrying traces of unease and… anticipation. But her body instinctively began struggling hard to break free. Because she was wary of Elisabeth noticing, however, Julia did not dare make too much noise. After lightly struggling for a while, she finally stopped resisting as though resigning herself to fate. Even though Eric probably could not see her expression, she still glared at him angrily.
Feeling Julia calm down, Eric resumed moving gently again. Julia listened blankly for a while to those unbearably embarrassing sounds. In the end, she could not help wanting to escape again. Just as she moved slightly, she felt her body, still clad in sleepwear, yanked forcefully, flipping her over onto the bed. The hem of her nightgown was lifted, a large hand found its target, raised high, then landed mercilessly.
Smack—
A crisp sound rang out. Had Julia not already realized what was coming and bitten her lip tightly in advance, she might have cried out in pain.
You bastard, I’m going to kill you!
That thought had only just surfaced in Julia’s mind when another slap landed mercilessly. The sharp sting spread through her entire body. Yet for some unknown reason, after gasping rapidly a few times, the resistance in Julia’s heart completely vanished. She collapsed limply there.
“What are you doing?” Only after the two slaps sounded did the dazed Elisabeth, face buried in the pillow, sluggishly ask.
“Swatting mosquitoes,” Eric glanced at the motionless female body beside him and softly answered.
Elisabeth gave an “oh.” Her mind was sluggish in her current state. After her thoughts slowly circled around for quite a while, she eventually decided she should probably buy mosquito repellent tomorrow.
After fooling around a little longer, Eric released Elisabeth’s body and pulled a blanket over her before moving to embrace the other woman instead.
Already exhausted, Elisabeth did not notice anything too strange. She soon drifted into sleep while lying there.
On the other side, Julia, held in the man’s embrace, breathed softly. She could not muster even the slightest thought of resistance as Eric stripped away her nightgown, arranged her into an extremely humiliating pose, then pressed a small cloth-like object toward her mouth.
Although she had not planned on making any noise anyway, she still obediently opened her mouth and held it between her lips…
…
Morning sunlight filtered through the curtains into the bedroom. Elisabeth drowsily opened her eyes and looked around before realizing she was actually in Julia’s room.
A flood of memories surged into her mind, causing the woman to abruptly sit up. But she quickly remembered Julia had gone to San Francisco yesterday.
Thank goodness, thank goodness, Elisabeth thought in relief.
Seeing Eric nowhere beside her while her clothes had been neatly folded on the chair beside the bed, she hugged them to her chest and tiptoed into the bathroom. Only after quite some time did Elisabeth finally finish dressing and walk downstairs barefoot.
Sounds came from the kitchen, and a sweet smile appeared at the corners of Elisabeth’s lips.
That bastard still has a bit of a conscience. This time he didn’t just eat and run. He even knows how to make breakfast for me.
She quickly reached the kitchen doorway, only to freeze blankly at the sight of Julia standing there in pajamas with her back facing her, busy cooking.
It took quite a while before Julia sensed her presence and turned around. Only then did Elisabeth stammer out, “Uh, Julia, um…”
“What’s wrong?” Julia asked curiously, her face showing no unusual expression whatsoever.
Elisabeth waved both hands awkwardly in front of her chest. “Um… when did you get back?”
“Yesterday afternoon,” Julia turned around again and cracked an egg into the already heated frying pan.
A powerful sense of unease rose in Elisabeth’s mind. She repeated stiffly, “Yesterday afternoon?!”
“Yeah,” Julia glanced back at her and nodded.
Elisabeth scratched at her hair frantically, suddenly wondering whether everything she experienced last night had only been a dream.
Impossible. Completely impossible.
Because Eric had been far too intense last night, she could still feel lingering soreness between her legs even now. How could it possibly have been a dream?
“Um, Julia, last night you…”
“I was right beside you two. After that bastard finished bullying you, he came over to toy with me,” Julia replied flatly.
After standing frozen for an entire minute, Elisabeth slowly blurted out:
“What the f*!”
Julia acted as though she had not heard Elisabeth’s near-breakdown curse. She placed the fried eggs onto a plate and turned to ask, “Liz, do you want breakfast?”
If Eric’s behavior had driven Elisabeth crazy, then Julia’s current reaction made her feel like she was about to collapse entirely.
“Julia, you can still eat breakfast right now?!”
“Why not?” Julia served herself a portion and carried it into the dining room.
Elisabeth followed her in and watched Julia sit at the table, pick up her utensils, and begin eating bread and fried eggs one bite at a time.
One bite after another.
Then, after a few minutes, while stuffing food into her mouth, tears suddenly began falling from Julia’s eyes.
“Liz, I’m sick. I can’t be cured anymore. Sob…”
Seeing Julia’s heartbroken appearance, Elisabeth instantly forgot about questioning last night’s events. She initially thought Julia had some terminal illness and did not have much time left. But after comforting her for a while, she gradually learned through Julia’s fragmented explanations what was actually wrong.
“H-how could he do this? Come on, let’s go find that bastard. If he doesn’t give us an explanation, this isn’t over.”
After bottling up the biggest secret in her heart for so long and finally sharing it with another person, Julia seemed to feel much better. She reached out and grabbed Elisabeth. “Liz, don’t. Actually… this doesn’t really have much to do with Eric.”
“Julia, things are already like this and you’re still defending him? You’re seriously disappointing me.”
Julia shook her head. “No. I talked with him about this before. He hoped I could recover too. After so much time passed, I thought I really had gotten better. But last night, when he… when he slapped me twice, I realized not only did I have no urge to resist at all, I actually felt like I’d been waiting for it for a very long time.”
“Swatting… mosquitoes?” Elisabeth twitched at the corners of her mouth as she recalled last night’s details.
Julia blushed slightly and nodded.
“Then what are you going to do?” Elisabeth finally asked.
Julia shook her head. “I don’t know. If I knew what to do, that would be great.”
“I think you still need to talk with Eric again.”
Julia immediately shook her head like a rattle drum. “No, no, no. I don’t dare see him right now. As soon as I see him, I just… I just…”
“Then I’ll go find him.” Elisabeth abruptly stood up, only to be pulled back down by Julia again.
“Don’t go, okay? It’ll just make things more awkward between us.”
Elisabeth thought for a moment before slumping back down helplessly.
The two women leaned against the sofa in silence for quite a while before Elisabeth finally spoke again.
“Actually, Julia, this really is my fault. If I hadn’t brought him back, none of this would’ve happened.”
Julia pulled tissues from the box in her arms and wiped her face. Hearing Elisabeth say this, she thought for a moment before suddenly bursting into laughter.
“On the bed, you were really… something. You said absolutely everything out loud. Even I was blushing listening to it.”
Julia’s words instantly dragged last night’s embarrassing scene back to the forefront.
Elisabeth’s expression shifted several times. Although she had not spoken much in the bedroom last night, recalling it now was still mortifying enough. And Julia had heard all of it.
“Y-you clearly saw us come in, so why didn’t you run away?”
“I wanted to. But that guy grabbed me and slapped me twice, and I lost all my strength.”
“I’ve figured it out. Deep down, you wanted him to do that to you too, which is why you were so obedient.”
Julia immediately shook her head. “I didn’t.”
“You’re still denying it!” Elisabeth immediately pounced on Julia, pinning her onto the sofa as the two began wrestling around.
Julia naturally refused to lose and fought back as well. Very quickly, the two women ended up with disheveled clothes and flushed faces. Then they suddenly realized they were tightly embracing each other on the sofa, their faces less than five centimeters apart, each able to clearly feel the other’s breathing.
“Julia, when you went to San Francisco yesterday, did you happen to see any of those?”
“Mhm?” Julia rapidly blinked her eyes, looking confused.
“I mean… did you see any lesbians?”
After Elisabeth spoke, Julia’s expression shifted several times. Then, seemingly unable to help herself, she eagerly parted her red lips and leaned down to kiss her.
