Chapter 4: Mark Destroys Tessa
August 23, 6:03PM Emerald City Hot Yoga, Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA
I tried. I tried so hard. I did. I tried to be good. I tried not to do it to The Girl In Pink again. I tried to sink into that quiet place in my mind where there is only the breathing and the movement and the stretch and no thought and no desire and no lust and no hunger and no need.
I tried not to see the deep stain in her pink yoga tights spreading down her thighs like an endless, unstoppable wave. I tried to forget the flex in her gorgeous ass as she clenched her thighs together so hard trying (and failing miserably) to stop the gushing river flowing between her legs.
I tried not to inhale the sweet, rancid, intoxicating smell of her pussy. I wondered how long it had been since I'd smelled a truly excited woman? Months? Years? Ever?
The smell of her seemed to push its way into me and it was fucking delicious.
Goosebumps rose all over my skin. My nipples stiffened. My hard (so fucking hard) cock pulsed to the beat of my heart begging to be let loose from my tight yoga shorts.
"The whole world doesn't need to know you've got a big dick, you know," Sarah mocked the first time she saw me in "the shorts."
I felt a flood of familiar shame wash over me. Shame I'd had for so long it felt comforting like an old sweater. I felt a tightness in the back of my throat. I felt my jaw quiver and my face turn red. It was stupid, but I'd thought maybe she'd like what she saw. I thought maybe she'd give me a compliment or something. I thought maybe she'd reach out and cup my crotch in her palm and give me that smile I hadn't seen in so long. I thought we'd end up "making love" for the first time in two months.
"I swear, Mark, sometimes I really think you're gay. I don't know why you need to show off when you've already got me. It's kind of pitiful, really. I can't believe I married the kind of guy who needs to be told how hot he is all the time. Do you even love me? Do you even want to be in this marriage? Wearing those it's like you're advertising or something. It's disgusting." And she'd left me there in the bedroom half naked and furious and ashamed and wishing I could make her see something in me to love again.
But I didn't feel ashamed now. I felt excited. I felt alive. I felt like I was at the top of a bridge about to jump off and I wasn't sure if my bungee was attached or not and I really didn't care.
My eyes hunted across the room past the confused looks and the lecherous grins and the subtly tilting hips of the yoga girls and yoga dudes until finally finding my prey. Until finally finding the gorgeous young woman with the pussy-drenched yoga pants and the intoxicating, lusting shame.
She was a mess and I hated myself for thinking her embarrassment and pain was so beautiful. I hated myself for the thoughts and urges creeping in my mind . I hated myself for wanting to make it so much worse for her and somehow knowing I could if I just let myself give in.
She looked devastated and delicious. Her jaw was quivering like she couldn't decide if she needed to cry or scream. Her eyes shined like she suddenly realized she was in a horror movie and she wasn't the virginal young ingenue destined to survive.
Goosebumps rose on The Girl In Pink's soft, dark flesh as she felt the ravenous need of every straight man in the room crawl towards her, pull at her clothes, pull at her flesh. She shivered like a deer who had run and run her entire young life until she wasn't even sure what she was running from. It was nothing but instinct. It was nothing but fear of being consumed. But finally she was cornered by the wolves she'd been warned about. She was finally caught. She could finally give in. Dark hairs raised on the back of her neck (her neck screamed for me to nibble and lick and bite. I clenched my jaw to stifle the growl within me. I clenched my jaw so tight I thought I'd break my teeth.) The Girl In Pink took deep, measured breaths. The Girl In Pink tried to be brave. The Girl In Pink tried to swallow her fear and confusion as she tried to figure out what the hell had happened.
What the hell had made her soak her bright, pink tights. She closed her eyes and tried to push her shoulders back. She tried to stand tall and proud and unafraid and ignore her shame. She tried to pretend she was still in control.
And she failed so beautifully.
The deep delicious stain of her gushing pussy painted itself wider and wider on her thighs, her ass, her tightly muscled quads. Every man and woman in the room felt our nostrils flare as we all inhaled the heady wanting scent of her and breathed in the intoxicating call of her desire to be taken. To be ravished. To be fucked. My "nice" thoughts and concern for the "poor embarrassed girl" drained out of my mind like water running through a sieve. Thoughts evaporated. Hearts pounded. That damn aching CHILL throbbed in the back of my brain and I felt an invisible thread between me and The Girl in Pink. Every cock in the room stiffened and ached for her. Every clit engorged. Every pussy softened and wetted and opened. Nipples turned to diamonds in sports bras and too-expensive tank tops. Breathing deepened and became haggard. As a pack we inhaled her lust, so much deeper and darker and more powerful than the musk and sweat and just-barely-deniable sexual hum that was always in this room of fit and sweaty flesh. As a class we devoured her. As a pack we consumed her with our eyes and breath and questing, hungry tongues thrashing in our mouths, yearning to be let out.
And the poor, poor Girl In Pink felt it all. She felt the class closing in on her. She felt her wet desire spread and spread. She felt it all and she quaked uncontrollably. Her shoulders slumped. Her carefully built confidence and defiance and pride fled as she realized she had been nothing but prey all along. She'd run until she could run no more - until her legs and hips and primal, electric need finally betrayed her. She tried to make herself small.
She tried to hide. She tried to will herself to wake up, to escape into her mind, to disappear.
She tried so hard and failed again and again. Because deep in her mind, in her heart, in her poor gushing pussy she knew she'd wanted to be caught all along.
I ran my eyes along her quivering jaw. I drank in the look of defeated horror and terrified anticipation on her pretty, pretty face.
Suddenly something deep in me lurched towards her like a beast breaking its chains. A low growl hummed in my chest and my arms and my cock. I felt delighted shock in my bones as the whole room seemed to throb so slightly towards her as one.
"Circle sweep your arms up to mountain pose," Mandy The Teacher said in a slightly- shaky voice. A slightly shaky voice that said "I am just barely in control."
I tried to be good. I tried to be the "nice guy" I'd always told myself I was supposed to be.
I tried to keep my mind blank. I didn't understand what I could do yet, but I knew it was wrong. I knew I shouldn't. But I was so weak.
I stood up straight. I circled my arms above my head. I eyed my biceps and chest and ribs in the mirror. I saw the sweat dripping from me in the warm room even though class had barely started. I stared into my own eyes and saw something cold and sure and powerful I wished I didn't recognize. I wished wasn't me.
The Beast In The Mirror stared at me and smirked and I felt a sudden panicked need to bow my head, to bare my belly, to whimper and submit and hide. I saw the smile on The Beast In The Mirror's face and knew it was enjoying my fear. Was feasting on it. Was hungry for so much more.
But I tried to be good. I tried to deny this sudden hurricane of lust. Of anger. Of ownership. Of need.
