Against All Odds

Chapter Thirty Four : Black Crow

When Obiefune eased himself off Obi after being brought to the very peak  of pleasure, he laid beside her with his eyes on the ceiling. Obi didn't speak to him, she also found the ceiling suddenly interesting while letting out soft pants.

Obiefune became restless, afraid that he had let sexual desires deprive him of a sense of reason. She had every opportunity to make him stop but she didn't.

Obi tossed aside and lay on her side before dragging the wrapper she had initially used to wrap herself up to her chin. She was completely naked underneath and too exhausted to look for her underpants. He had sought out every inch of her body with his hands and mouth, even her most feminine part. She could still feel the numbness on her breast, the soreness beneath her thighs as she recalled the excruciating pain from Obiefune's first thrust.

Her muffled cries were swallowed with kisses and soothing words but she knew then that she was an entirely different person.
She had read about what losing someone's virginity entailed and might not have been totally prepared for pain, but the pleasure was overwhelming.

A single thought occupied her mind and that was how she would ever look her mother in the face with her innocence gone, how she felt as much as a hypocrite as Oluchi. A tear slid down her cheek followed by another and she didn't want Obiefune to notice so that he wouldn't feel bad about anything. She had been the one who sought him out and in as much as she felt strange, she didn't regret what happened between them and she didn't want him to.

Obiefune noticed how quiet Obi grew, moved closer  to where Obi lay and wrapped his hands around her. He sought for her hand and linked it with his. He could feel liquid drop onto his hands and within minutes Obi began to whimper and sob.

Obi held his hand strongly while she let out her confused emotions as tears. Obiefune slowly began to panic but he kept whispering soothing words into her ears. He couldn't bear seeing Obi in pain because of his irresponsibility.

Obi was delicate despite the shield she wore around presenting herself as tough. When Obi's crying subsided she turned to face Obiefune and was surprised to see his eyes teary.

"Don't call me a cry baby" he admonished and Obi laughed

"I'm sorry for hurting you, I tried to be gentle, to prepare you for this but it's always like this the first time. I should have just forced you to leave but I was just weak"

Obi reached to his face and caressed it."I am a mule, you can't force a mule to do what it doesn't want to. I know all about these things. Technically my hymen has been ripped apart, which usually comes with bleeding sometimes. But Obiefune I don't want you to regret anything, I... I actually wanted this "

Obiefune looked at her puzzled" So... why were you crying? I thought you regretted everything and maybe even despise me" He ended with a grim expression

Obi shook her head "No, that's not it. I J.. Just came to terms with the fact that I'm no longer a virgin, that's all. I am fine"

"You know Obi you are not like other girls"

Obi didn't let him finish before cutting him off with "They have a stronger hold over their tear glands and I can't even control mine? "

Obiefune let out a sluggish smile. "No, of course not, you're sweeter. My father told me aunt Judith wants to take me to America with her, so that I can study, I didn't know how to go about it and I did not want you to worry "

Obi stiffened at what he revealed and Obiefune could see the trepidation in her eyes.

"I'm not going with her, I told my dad that I want to study here. Being in the same state but in different places is already too difficult for me, I can't bear being in a different continent, a place where you are not close"
