Off-limits Series: Never Enough

Torn between love, and reality

I woke up the next morning with a mixture of emotions swirling inside me. My heart was still racing from the events of the previous night, and my mind was a tangled mess of anxiety and excitement. The morning-after pill was supposed to bring me peace of mind, but all it did was remind me of the potential consequences of my actions.
As I got ready for the day, my phone buzzed with a new message. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Robert's name on the screen.

**Robert: Good morning, beautiful. Thinking about you.**

I couldn't help but smile. Despite everything, his messages always had a way of making me feel special.
**Elena: Morning, Robert. I'm thinking about you too.**

Throughout the day, our conversation continued. We shared jokes, sweet messages, and even a few risqué comments that made my heart race. It felt like we were in our own little world, disconnected from the reality that surrounded us.

**Robert: Remember that time we got caught in the rain at your parents' house? You looked so cute trying to dry your hair with that tiny towel.**

**Elena: Oh my God, yes! I was drenched, and you just stood there laughing at me.**
**Robert: I couldn't help it. You were adorable.**

I laughed softly, feeling a warmth spread through me. The banter between us felt natural and easy. It was as if we were two people with no complications and no consequences.
**Robert: I can't wait to see you again, sunshine. Last night was incredible. My dick Stella crying for release.***

**Elena: I know. I feel the same way.**

***Robert: What about tonight?**
**Elena: Sorry caveman I'm still sour.**
***Robert: I will kiss your pine away baby.***
I clutch my thighs, at his offer.
God, that man is too much for me.
**Elena: Sorry cavema, not tonight maybe later.**
Honestly, I want him so badly but I can't handle his dick tonight. I'm still so sour and still feeling him inside me.
**Robert: Okay, as you like sunshine.**

The day at the restaurant was a blur. Sky noticed my distracted state and pulled me aside during a lull.
“Hey, girl you look like you're miles away. What's going on?"
I sighed, leaning against the counter.
“It's Robert. We had a moment last night, you know and now he's texting me like nothing's changed."
I felt my cheeks heat up.

Sky's eyes widened. "Wow. Are you okay?"
I nodded, though I wasn't sure how true that was. "I think so. I just don't know where we go from here."
Sky squeezed my shoulder.
“You need to be careful, Elena. This isn't just about you and Robert. John doesn't deserve to be hurt, and neither does your sister. You need to think about everyone involved."
Her words stayed with me as I navigated the rest of the day. Every time my phone buzzed with a new message from Robert, I felt like a teenager again, giddy and nervous. I knew this wasn't sustainable, but I couldn't help the way he made me feel.
After the restaurant closed, I finally had a moment to breathe. I checked my phone and saw a missed call from Robert. My heart pounded as I dialed his number, my hands trembling slightly.
He picked up on the second ring. “Elena"
"Hi, Robert," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "You wanted to talk?"
"Yes," he replied, his voice soft and familiar. "I couldn't stop thinking about last night. I need to see you again."
My breath caught in my throat. "Robert, we can't keep doing this. It's too complicated."
"I know," he said, a hint of desperation in his voice. "But I can't stay away from you. Last night was... it was everything I've been holding back for years."
I closed my eyes, the weight of his words sinking in.
"Robert, we have to be careful. This can't turn into something that destroys us."
"I understand," he said, his tone earnest. "I just need to know if you feel the same way."
I hesitated, my heart battling with my mind. "I do, Robert. But that doesn't make this any easier."
There was a long pause, and I could hear him sigh on the other end of the line.
“I know. Let's meet somewhere private tomorrow. We need to figure this out."
"Okay," I agreed, my voice barely above a whisper. "Tomorrow."
After we hung up, I felt a strange mixture of relief and fear. Seeing him again would be both wonderful and dangerous, but I couldn't deny the pull between us.
The next day, Robert and I met at a quiet café on the outskirts of town. The atmosphere was tense, but the moment our eyes met, I felt a wave of calm wash over me.
“Elena," he said softly, reaching across the table to take my hand. "We need to be honest with each other. This isn't just a fling for me."
"I know," I replied, squeezing his hand. "But we have to find a way to navigate this without hurting everyone around us."
"We will," he promised, his eyes full of determination. "I love you, Elena and I won't let anything come between us.”
His words were a balm to my conflicted heart, but they also added to the complexity of our situation. I knew that the road ahead would be fraught with challenges, but in that moment, I felt a glimmer of hope.
“You already know how much I love you,” I replied.
“I know, sunshine.”
How do I miss him to call me that?
My heart beat more in love with him.
As we left the café, hand in hand, I couldn't help but feel that maybe, just maybe, we could find a way to make this work. The future was uncertain, but with Robert by my side, I felt ready to face whatever came our way.
Later that evening, I found myself back at the restaurant, cleaning up after the last customers had left. Sky approached me again, her expression serious.
"You need to stop this, Elena," she said firmly. "You're going to get hurt. And so will John. And your sister... she doesn't deserve this betrayal."
I nodded, tears pricking at my eyes.
"I know, Sky. But I love him. I don't know how to stop."
Sky hugged me tightly. "Just be careful, okay? Think about what you're doing. Think about everyone involved."
Her words echoed in my mind as I locked up the restaurant and headed home. My phone buzzed with another message from Robert, and despite everything, I couldn't resist opening it.
**Robert: Can't wait to see you again and bury my dick inside you. Sweet dreams, beautiful.**
I sighed, feeling a pang of guilt mixed with the warmth of his words. This was a dangerous game, and I wasn't sure if I was strong enough to walk away.
***Elena: sweet dreams, caveman.**

As I lay in bed that night, staring at the ceiling, I knew that the days ahead would be filled with difficult decisions. But for now, I allowed myself to bask in the feeling of being loved, even if it was complicated and messy.
I can't lose him now after I just got him back.
