ALL NOVEL 27 – Strain
It was Monday, lunch hour.
He hadn't had a chance to see Kate yet when he ran into her after finishing his lunch. She appeared rather upset which surprised him given how they left things after their date or even while they were texting the night before.
"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked her in concern.
"No, it's nothing. Don't worry about it," she said nervously.
"If it's nothing, why tell me I don't need to worry about it?" he asked.
She sighed deeply.
"Come on, you can tell me," he encouraged her.
"I had a fight with Brad..." she answered hesitantly.
Dave nodded slowly. Even if Kate might not realise it, this wasn't exactly coming out of left field. Her spending more time with him was going to have an impact on her relationship with Brad at some point. If she was being honest with herself she should probably realise it herself.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Someone sent him a picture of us yesterday and he flipped out. Can you believe that? He's being so controlling," she explained.
He knew that Brad was completely right. After all he did have intentions for Kate beyond friendship and given how they had kissed and gone on a date, even if she didn't call it a date, all of it was well beyond appropriate for a woman in a relationship. Admitting it would just be shooting himself in the foot.
"I can't believe he doesn't trust you," he said instead.
She nodded vigorously. "Right?" she responded.
"So what go you so upset?" he asked.
"Well... he told me I'm not allowed to hang out with you anymore," she said.
Dave wasn't too concerned. If she was going to go along with Brad's demands she wouldn't be talking with him right now. She was effectively already showing where she stood simply by having the current conversation. He just needed to support her. The more difficult Brad was about the whole thing, the more he would push her right into Dave's arms.
"I can't believe he would go so far to control you, who does he think telling you who you can and can't hang out with?" he asked.
"Yeah, I ended up telling him I was disappointed in him and left when he said that. He hadn't even apologised for cancelling our date last time and now he is accusing me. He has been blowing up my phone since I left," she said.
Dave gave her a tight hug which she returned eagerly.
"You deserve better than that," he told her gently.
She nodded looking less upset than she had been.
"Thanks, I feel a bit better now. I can always talk with you. You just understand," she said with a slight blush.
Noticing they had reached a somewhat quiet part of the school campus she pulled him behind a building so they couldn't be seen from the main building before engaging him in a passionate kiss.
Dave didn't resist returning the kiss just as passionately, wrapping his arms around her lower back to pull her closer into his embrace. Her chest pressed up against his.
She broke the kiss for a moment a feverish expression painted upon her face. She rubbed his hard dick through the fabric of his jeans. "You're quite excited aren't you?" she teased.
To tease her back he squeezed her ass causing a soft moan to escape her lips. "You better watch out," he said with a smirk pressing his thigh between her legs.
They threw themselves back into another kiss while she continued rubbing her hand along the length of his cock as if admiring its size. She ground herself on the leg he pressed between hers erotically. Both of them getting even more turned on deepened their kiss their tongue playing with each other sending shivers up their spines.
Dave was struggling to hold back, but knew pushing too far right now could blow up the entire thing. Although it was hard he needed to wait for her to initiate the next step.
A few minutes of kissing later she backed off panting for breath with a heavy blush. She licked her lips seductively.
"I feel a lot better now," she said with a coy smile.
Dave was starting to notice that passion ran high when the women he was with were taking petty revenge on the partners. First Jackie after the argument with his father and now Kate after her boyfriend started accusing her. It didn't even matter if they were right. After all Jackie had been denying his father sex since they got together and Kate was behaving inappropriately with him too. That didn't seem to have any bearing on their response though.
They had to rush to class together after having wasted a lot of time between having lunch, their conversation and spending the rest of the time kissing. It seemed she had gotten over her sadness due to her fight and was back to smiling happily throughout the rest of the day casually flirting with him again.
All Dave needed to do now was wait for Brad to screw up even further than he already had.
After school he made sure to swing by the gym first to get in a two hour workout. Access to actual workout equipment and weights were doing a lot to speed up his progress that had been slowing down over the second week allowing him to continue making the most of his new ability. He would make the most of this week before starting the course on the weekend.
Jackie seemed to be getting more and more aroused both by Dave's improving physique and their taboo trysts around the house which risked them getting caught. There was a reason she fell for his father originally and it wasn't his winning personality, she definitely had a thing for very in shape men that could dominate her. She just picked the wrong one though.
