Beyond Good and Evil

Chapter 14: Sexual Surprises

The world was Alicia's oyster, and she was up in the sky with Robert, flying through the clouds at lightning speed. Her whole body tingled with adrenalin and endorphins, with the promise of never coming down to soil ever again.

For the first time in her life, she had made love with Robert. The experience had been soul-touching and emotional. She had felt her soul leave her body, to intertwine with his up in the depths of heaven. She had lost track of whose limb was whose, whose tongue was whose, and whose movements were whose. Everything had been mind-blowingly intense. She could feel his emotions for her, raw and out in the open, without being concealed anymore.

Robert panted, rolling off her. He was drenched in sweat, just like Alicia herself. He rose from the edge of the bed, pressing the home button on his iPhone.

"What time was it when we started?" He murmured, half-glancing over his shoulder at her. His hair was pasted to his forehead, dark from sweat, falling slightly over his green eyes.

Alicia narrowed her eyebrows, mentally backtracking. "Around 11 pm, I guess. I wasn't keeping track of time."

His eyes reverted to the screen, his serious eyebrows drawing together. "It's now five thirty in the morning."

"We made love for six hours?!" Alicia gasped, failing to keep the shock out of her voice. "Wow."

The corners of his mouth stretched up into a broad, genuine grin. He sat beside her, laying his hand atop of hers. "I always lose track of time and space when I'm with you, Ms Stellar."

Alicia inched closer to him until her thigh was pressed against his, lying her cheek against his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, his gentle, steady breathing the only sound in the room.

"I'll come with you," she murmured, craning her neck up to meet his eyes. "To Luleå. I'll have to work something out with Terry, my principal, though."

Robert leaned down, level with her face. Bruises were forming on his face, and dry blood was splattered across his jawline, from where Dandy had hit him. It hurt her just to look at him, knowing that Dandy had hurt the love of her life because of her.

"I think I may be able to pull a few strings," Robert smirked. "Leave it to me."

As Alicia was about to speak, he pressed his lips to hers, silencing her. She laced her arms around his shoulders, falling back against the mattress as he moved over her, placing his knee between her thighs.

The university rose up like a giant cathedral in front of Alicia's eyes. Robert killed the engine, before hopping out and moving to the passenger side, pulling open her door.

Alicia jumped down from the Volvo, scanning her surroundings. The sun shone luminously in the cloudless blue sky, transforming the treetops to luscious green. It was the first day of Spring in Sweden. Alicia was relieved, since she wasn't too fond of the cold.

Students walked along the pavement running along the front of the campus, clutching books to their chests or by their sides. As Alicia passed them with Robert, they paused in their tracks, their jaws dropping to the ground.

"Is that Robert Stjärnström?!" A petite blonde girl whispered to her friend. "Holy moly! He's so hot! How did Alicia get him?"

He seemed not to notice the gawking stares of girls flocking the halls just to get near him. He twined his fingers with Alicia's, continuing down until they reached their destination.

Terry was a man in his late forties, but sometimes acted younger. He stood with his front facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing out over the courtyard with great pride. When the door closed behind Alicia, Terry turned to them both.
