Phoenix Rising
With the start of the semester, Jade and I established a routine after our first week of unbridled sex and passion. Jade was a teaching assistant and taught three times a week beside carry a full load of graduate classes. I also had a campus job, working twenty hours each week on the university's newspaper as a photographer for both their print and online editions. Jade and I went to the recreation center to workout Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays mornings. We met for lunch most days and always shared dinner each evening. We spent most nights together, usually at her place. Sometimes after sex, I returned to my room, especially because Tuesdays and Thursday she had an early class and my first class wasn't until 10:00, allowing me to sleep in those days.
Jade and Phoenix had a class together and were becoming good friends, especially since back in Taipei they lived so close to each other and would likely continue their friendship back in Taiwan. Especially since they discovered they had mutual friends. About once a week, they went out for a girl's night out, which allowed me to focus on my studies.
Jade and I had become a favorite topic for gossip among the apartment building. We weren't very subtle in our relationship and were quick to show each other affection and often seen kissing each other. When we were alone in our apartments, Jade was very vocal during sex, particularly when she climaxed. I wasn't much better when Jade gave me head. We were a bit quieter when we messed around elsewhere, but it was still a challenge. We knew from the looks our neighbors gave us that even if we were in the bedroom, people could hear us. So far no one had complained, but the pretty redhead working the front desk had knowingly winked at me several times when I collected my mail after class.
One Friday afternoon near the end of September, I was in my apartment studying. I wasn't expecting Jade for another couple of hours. On my desk was the first photo of us. I had taken it with my Nikon on tripod. In the photo, I was sitting on the couch. We had just finished fucking and I was in a t-shirt and sweatpants. Jade was siting on my lap, her head resting on my shoulder while I cradled her in my arms. Jade had put on one of my dress shirts and buttoned it enough to remain closed while revealing most of her cleavage. The way she sat showed off her legs and enough sideview of her ass to make it clear she was only wearing the shirt. My laptop wallpaper was her leaning against the wall with the shirt unbutton and her trim bush, flat stomach, and firm legs on display. Next to it was a photo of us taken near the campus pond. I was standing with my hands on Jade's hip and her leaning against my chest. I often looked at the photos while studying and pondered where things were headed with Jade. I had never met a woman like Jade nor had such an amazing sexual partner. I found myself growing more attached to Jade with each passing week. Spending as much of our free time together seemed like the most natural thing.
Diego sighed and lost himself in his studies. A couple hours later his door opened, and Jade walked into his place. Autumn was arriving and the heat of summer gone. Jade wore jeans that wrapped around the curve of her sexy ass, a sweatshirt with the university's logo, and black flats. She placed her backpack on a chair and walked over to the couch where I was studying. She straddled my lap and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her waist and kiss her. My hands wandered over her body while we kissed. I wanted to do more, but during breakfast, Jade mentioned she wanted to go to the mall to do some shopping once she was home.
I caressed Jade's face and asked if she still wanted to go shopping. She gave me another kiss and nodded, her smile growing at the chance to go out as a couple. She lifted herself off my lap and I gave Jade a playful slap on her ass as we headed out the door. With the weather headed to fall, I also wore a sweatshirt, jeans, and gym shoes. My hand rested lightly on the small of Jade's back as we walked to the elevator.
Jade told me how her day while we waited and then rode the elevator down. She was enjoying teaching and said most of her students were attentive and involved in the class. She admitted that she initially hadn't been too excited about being a teaching assistant but was enjoying the experience.
We headed to my car and were soon on our way to the town's mall. By car, the mall was only about a 15-minute drive and was a key location in this small college town. The people working the mall was a decent mix of residents and students, which gave an interesting vibe to the mall I didn't detect in city malls.
Jade looked out the window as I drove. I could tell she was a bit pensive, so I asked her what was on her mind. She looked at me and asked, "Have you heard what people in the building are saying about us?"
"I haven't heard specifics, but I know our sex life is a favorite topic. I guess we have been really loud more than a few times. What have you heard?"
"Phoenix was telling me that people can't believe how often we have sex. She also told me that Phoenix said most people think we have been dating for a bit of time. And not since when I first arrived. Even she was surprised that we just started dating. She said we act like a couple that has been together for months. All the gossip reminds me of the office gossip at my previous job right after my ex left me."
"Are you ok? You told me how rough going to work was during that period."
Jade was quite for a few. Seconds, then said, "The gossip here is a mix of curiosity and jealousy, I think. At my old job, it was more people enjoying my pain and heartbreak. It really hurt because some of the worse were people I believed were friends. I don't like people talking about us, but it doesn't seem to have the same tone as what happened t my old office. Thankfully, no one has made any rude comments."
"Well, if anyone does, they will have to deal with me," I assured Jade.
"Phoenix is very curious about us. She told me her husband is not very passionate, and sex is usually limited to him on top or from behind. She was surprised when I said you enjoy when I'm on top. Her husband doesn't enjoy it. Phoenix said sex with her husband was mechanical. She was almost in tears when she told me how sex with her husband was rare since she her pregnancy and especially after giving birth to her daughter."
"Wow, I guess she is really unhappy with her marriage. Do you know what set him apart fro other guys she dated?"
"She has only been with her husband. Their parents are best friends and essentially matched them since they were little and arranged things so they felt obligated to date. She never dated anyone else and married right after they graduated. She told me that she does love her husband, just that sex with him is unfulfilling."
"Wow, sounds like she is really frustrated."
Jade nodded in agreement, "She confessed that she usually uses a vibrator to bring herself to orgasm in the shower after her husband finishes. She asked me what you do that gave me orgasms and made me so loud."
"What did you tell her?"
Jade grinned mischievously and said, "I told her you are amazing with your mouth and fingers and make sure I climax during foreplay. I also said you have a thick cock that fills me and is the perfect size for me. I told her that when you are inside me, I feel waves of intense pleasure building until I can't resist or holdback and orgasm pretty hard. The passion, energy, and emotional connection we share only adds to my pleasure."
Jade paused, and looked at me as we entered the mall's parking lot, then said, I never had that type of connection with my ex. I didn't know what was missing until you and I became a couple. When we are together, I feel like I'm all that matters to you. The way you look at me, it still has that hungry look like you can't wait to fuck me, but I see too that desire to just be with me. It is a different look than when we pass by a sexy woman and you check her out." Jade said with a mischievous grin, but I could see the difference was important to her.
