I see desire in your wanting eyes
I see your dress undone
I see you look to the distant lights
Hear those engines hum
-- "Don't Go to the Woods" by The Decemberists
Sitting in the desk chair she'd rolled to her open bedroom window, Addison Ross propped her chin on her palms, elbows on the sill. Warm summer air poured into her dark bedroom. Wearing a green crop t-shirt and tight blue jeans, she stared into the darkness through the screen. In the middle distance, she heard the cacophonous roar of powerful engines.
Big Jeeps and pickup trucks skidded around in the dark forest. All had bright, round lights attached to their roll bars. She heard male voices whooping. She wished she were out there with them. She pictured herself bouncing around in the passenger seat while Tyler expertly maneuvered his large, hulking truck amid the trees.
She sighed, reaching a hand down to unbutton her jeans. Moaning quietly, her right hand slipped into her plain white panties. She reached under her t-shirt with her left hand to massage her right breast. Sliding her fingers to cup the bare skin of her mound, she felt her wetness growing. She remembered Tyler's thick cock sliding into her again and again from a few nights ago. She groaned at the memory and pinched her nipple while allowing her other hand's index and middle fingers to dive between her lips and stroke her moist labia. Diving deeper with her hand, she rubbed her clit, her breath coming in gasps. She bit her lower lip, stifling a grunt of pleasure as tingly warmth grew between her legs. She approached the precipice of orgasm, her head thrown back, ready to cum.
A knock on her door broke her reverie.
"Yes?" she said, snatching her hand from her pussy.
She hurriedly fastened her jeans and wiped her fingers with a kleenex from a box on her nightstand. She rolled her chair back to face her desk and switched on the reading lamp next to her open laptop.
"Hi Addy," her father said. "May I come in?"
"Of course, Dad," she said.
Chris Ross stepped in and took a look around. He was a tall, gaunt man with pale blue eyes, close-cropped salt-and-pepper hair and steel-rimmed glasses, looking every bit his role as the Assistant Dean of Engineering at Stevens College. He wrinkled his nose for a moment. Distant engine noises drifted into the room.
"Wow, it's warm in here." he said. "You look a little overheated. Are you okay?"
"Sorry, Dad, but it was super cold before," she said, struggling to bring her breathing under control. "Plus, I like the fresh air even though it is maybe a little too warm."
"I'll get the HVAC guys to have a look at the airflow in the house next time they're here."
"Thanks, Dad. What's up?"
He nodded toward her window and the distant roaring beyond.
"Hear that noise? I know some of those boys, at least by reputation. You'd be wise not to get mixed up with them. You're barely out of high school. They're juniors and seniors at the college. Most of them have terrible grades, They've all had to repeat classes. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you."
"Oh, Daddy, what makes you think I have
any
interest in those guys?"
He switched on the overhead light and pointed to the multiple tracks her chair had made in the pink carpet when she moved the chair to and from the window.
"Oh," she said.
"Were you looking out the window just now?" he asked.
"Just enjoying the breeze."
"There's plenty of fresh air on our screened-in porch," he said with a smile, sliding the window closed and latching it before sitting in the rocking chair opposite her. "Why don't you come down and visit with your old man for a game of Scrabble on the porch?"
"Maybe later," she said. "I've got to finish my résumé tonight so I can take it to Sloan's tomorrow. I'm hoping to get a summer job in their jewelry department before college."
He looked again at the window, lost in thought.
Tapping one arm of the rocker, he said, "I wonder how many hours I spent rocking you in this chair when you were a baby? Especially after your mother..."
Silence hung in the room for a minute as he looked away. Her expression softened.
"Sure, Dad, I'd love to hang out. I'll be down in a minute. Promise."
He stood, kissed the top of her head, and patted her shoulder.
"Sloan's will be lucky to have you," he said. "See you in a few."
When her father closed the door, she looked out at the darkness beyond the window but since the room was now lit, she could only see her reflection. She could neither hear nor see anything going on in the forest. The spell was broken, at least for tonight.
Shaking his head, her father descended the stairs.
"I really hope I didn't smell what I
thought
I smelled in there," he said to himself.

Addison took a seat at a small corner table in the only Starbucks in town, hoping Ethan wouldn't make a scene. He entered shortly after she got her order, an iced chai latte. He was a little taller than Addison at five foot, seven inches, with a ruddy complexion and thick glasses. A pink polo shirt and khakis completed the picture
"Hi Addy," he said, taking the chair opposite her. "What's going on? Your text made it seem urgent."
She took a sip of her drink and set it down. She tucked a loose strand of her dark hair behind her ear.
"I think we need to take a break, Ethan"
"What? Why?" he said with a startled look. "I thought we were getting along really well."
She looked down at her beverage.
"We were. I just need some time to enjoy being single before college I guess. There's nothing major. You haven't done anything wrong if that's what you're wondering."
"You're seeing somebody else, aren't you?" he said.
"No, there's nobody," she said, her blue eyes looking into his brown ones. "I'm just going to be really busy with my job this summer and I don't think I need to be with anyone right now."
"Fine," he said, getting up from his chair.
"We can still be friends, right?" she asked, a pleading look on her face.
He turned back to face her and flipped her the bird.
"No fucking way, bitch."
She let out a long breath as he stormed out the door. She waited ten minutes to finish her drink, allowing some time to put distance between them. She strode out, dropping her cup in the trash.
She thought
Thank god we never had sex. Like he wasn't clingy enough already.

Tyler Adams, Ryan Hill, and Jackson White were hanging out in a window booth at Five Guys, filling up on burgers and fries. The three had been friends since high school. Jackson was five foot, ten inches, with unkempt black hair. He wore a red pocket t-shirt and khakis. Ryan stood about six feet, two inches, with short, red hair and bulging biceps. His tight black polo shirt was tucked into designer jeans. Tyler was a little taller than Jackson, with dirty blond hair and broad shoulders.
Tyler nudged Jackson.
"Hey, bro," he said, pointing. "That's Addy. The girl I've been seeing."
Ryan and Jackson turned to look. Addison was on the other side of the street, walking past retail stores with quirky names, housed in old brick buildings. She wore oversized sunglasses, a sleeveless white crop top, a green skirt that only covered half her thighs, and strappy flat white sandals. She was five feet, six inches tall with B-cup breasts. Wearing no bra, the shape of her nipples was visible through her top. She had an athletic look from being an avid tennis player. Her dark hair was pulled back in a ponytail.
Tyler shivered in remembered pleasure thinking about Addy's legs wrapped around him the night before.
"Nice," Ryan said, chewing a mouthful of fries. "I'd fuck her if she wasn't the Assistant Dean's daughter. I've seen her around campus."
"For sure," Jackson said. "Look at that ass and those legs. Man, the way she swings that thing. Wow."
