It had been about a month since that night when Jason and I first made love at his apartment. Since then, I had spent every weekend at his place, learning more each time about sex. We agreed to keep our relationship secret, because he would definitely lose his job at my high school if anybody knew what we were doing. I wanted to tell my friends, but I restrained myself. It wasn't just about sex though; we loved each other and expressed it often. Sometimes it seemed like all we had was a fling, because we couldn't be seen together in public, so we just met in secret.
Jason continued to be caring and sweet to me, and he looked out for me at school. He was very strict about what boys I talked to, and how I spent my afternoons after school was out. There was one boy on the basketball team he coached, named Chris, who was very popular and good-looking. He was about 6'1" with short black hair and blue eyes. He had a pretty muscular body, too. He was captain of the basketball team and the quarterback of the football team. I really liked Chris, because he was always nice to me and fun to talk to, but Jason considered him to be full of himself and self-centered. I talked to him often as we both spent a lot of time around the gym, and we were the best players on our respective basketball teams. If Jason even caught me talking to him, he would drag me away with some excuse and reprimand me. He usually gave Chris a hard time in practice for being a ball hog and not being a team player.
My new relationship with Jason was leading to a lot of changes in my life. I was always pretty, but I rarely wore makeup or did anything with my hair, or dressed up past a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Now I made an effort to look nice at school, straightened my hair and wore it down, and wore a skirt almost every day. Jason introduced me to the idea of thongs, and I got a few and started wearing them under my skirts. In between classes or anytime I had free time I would drop by Jason's office and let him feel on me. It was very exciting to know that we could be caught at any minute, although we never did anything more incriminating than a quick kiss while at school. He loved for me to wear colored panties, and he always asked to see them. Some days he told me not to wear panties at all, and I always did what he said. It was a very radical change from how I used to act, but most of my friends only saw a subtle change, because they were not privy to my panties like Jason was.
Now that I was taking better care of my appearance, I was starting to get a lot of attention from the boys at my school. It was a nice change for me. I had always been popular and well liked, but mostly as a friend to guys, because I was something of a tomboy. Now I was getting invited to a lot of parties, and since I was a very social person, I almost always accepted. The only dilemma was that now I had to share my weekends between partying with my friends and spending time with Jason. Also, he had to keep up appearances, and sometimes he even canceled our time together because he had to hang out with his friends. He was very protective and always wanted to know who I talked to, who I danced with, and who wanted to leave with me. He also warned me to stay away from alcohol and drugs, or he would punish me. Our relationship had a strange twist, because of our age difference and the fact that at first he was a mixture of a big brother and a father to me. So he continued to play the role of the disciplinarian.
The one time I crossed the line was a Saturday night, when I was leaving from a party at a very cute guy's house to go to Jason's apartment to spend the night. The host of the party had pressed me to have a drink with him, and I finally agreed to have just one, because he was so cute, and I heard that one drink wouldn't hurt. I was wrong. Either he put something in it, or I just had no experience with alcohol, but I was dizzy by the time I left. I had to practically hit the boy to get him to stop groping me. I drove slowly and carefully and got to Jason's place at about one o'clock. I walked in and he was laying on the couch watching TV. He got up and kissed me deeply. I was just getting into it when he broke the kiss and pushed me away suddenly. I couldn't remember him ever looking so angry. He could taste the beer in my mouth and smell the cologne in my clothes. He grabbed me by the arm, dragged me to the couch, sat down and bent me over his knees in one smooth motion. I was still slightly tipsy and I didn't know what had tipped him off, so I decided to act innocent and pretend I didn't know why he was upset. He didn't want to hear it. He pulled my skirt and panties off, (thank God I had decided to wear some that night) and proceeded to spank me until I cried. Upon seeing my tears he desisted and turned me over in his arms. He held me and comforted me as the effects of the alcohol wore off. I remember clearly what he said.
"Sweetie, you should know by now that drinking alcohol is how these boys try to take advantage of you. Even worse, there could have been a drug in your drink that would make you helpless against anyone who felt like raping you. I only make rules because I love you and I want to protect you. Sometimes you don't know what's best for you, so I am trying to look out for you, but I can't be around you all the time. That's why you need to listen to what I tell you. Now, I hope you didn't make a mistake tonight with that boy."
I assured him that nothing had happened between us, and he believed me. He always knew when I was lying. I had never been able to deceive him. After he kissed away my tears, he took me to the bed, where we made love slowly and gently all night long. When I looked in the mirror the next day, I still had red handprints on my backside.
Another weekend, not long after that, I went to a party at Chris's house. His parents were out of town, and he was having a party. He told me about it on Friday morning at school, and said he wanted to make sure I was coming. I said I probably would. We were pretty good friends, so I didn't see anything out of the ordinary with this, but all my friends who were present at the time were convinced that he liked me. By Friday afternoon it had become the talk of the school that Chris and I liked each other. I denied it completely, but people tried to convince me of what a "perfect couple" we would be. The two best athletes, two of the most popular seniors, and both apparently single. I continued to brush it off, but all the speculation planted a seed in my mind. I hadn't heard anything about Chris denying his attraction to me. And he was cute, and athletic, with a nice body... And I couldn't help but think it would be nice to go on a date with somebody, and have a public relationship... but I shook off these feelings when I thought of Jason and the love we shared.
I went to Chris's house Saturday night, and enjoyed myself at the party. There was good music playing, so I spent most of my time dancing with multiple boys. I turned down many proffered drinks throughout the evening. Then Chris came over, and we started grinding. It was fun, but it felt like everyone was watching us, waiting for this moment. The girls who weren't my friends were watching me with jealousy, and a couple different boys tried to cut in without success. I was getting tired, so I stopped and left the dance floor, which was his living room, to go out on the back porch. I went to the far corner, as several couples were occupied on the other side. It was much cooler outside. I felt someone behind me, and I turned. It was Chris. Leaning against the railing, we talked for several minutes. He put his hand on my arm and was looking into my eyes, when I realized he was about to kiss me. I wasn't sure what would happen if we kissed, and I didn't want to lose him as a friend, or endanger my relationship with Jason. I pulled away and told him I had to go, but I had a really good time. He looked a little bit hurt, and I found myself wondering whether he really was just after sex, like Jason had told me. He seemed to sincerely have feelings for me. Either way, I had to leave, so I did it quickly.
Jason greeted me at his apartment with a smile, and a casual question about how the party had been. I told him it had been fun, and that I had been dancing the whole time. He asked me who I danced with, and I listed everyone I could remember, and when I got to the end of the list, I realized I had left Chris out. I hadn't planned to, but something told me not to tell him. He knew the party had been at Chris's house, so he asked me if I had seen or talked to Chris at all. I felt guilty as I shook my head, and wondered if he knew I was lying. I didn't even know why I was lying. Thankfully, Jason didn't ask any more questions. He told me that he had had a hard week at work, and he had a lot of pent up frustration. I wondered why he was telling me this, but I learned quickly.
