119 HOPES DASHED EIGHT YEARS AGO MASON’S POV I burst out of the shower, my towel wrapped around my waist, only to see Iyanna settling on my bed, slowly taking off her dress. She was my neighbor, and she had come to pay me a visit, but I didn’t know why she had the nerve to come to my bedroom. “What the fuck?! I bawled. She turned around, smiling me.“What’s wrong, Mason why are you screaming?” “What the fuck are you doing?” I shouted. “What does it look like I’m doing?” She gave me a seductive smile. “You got to get out of here right now!” “Why?” Iyanna asked, standing up, and then she walked to me. She began rubbing my chest. “Don’t you want to get a taste of me?” “Hell no! I have a girlfriend for crying out loud!” “So what? She’s not going to find out. Don’t worry, I won’t tell her anything.” “You better stop this nonsense!” I took her hands off me. “Sofie is the love of my life. There is no way I would do something so disgusting behind her back.” “This isn’t disgusting. Come on, it’s going to be fun.” She wanted to move her fingers to my groin, but I stopped her that very moment. “You better respect yourself,” I told her bitterly. Iyanna looked at me for a moment, before she laughed. “Oh, Mason. There’s no need for you to put on an act. It’s just me and you here, no one else. So let’s not waste any more time.” “I see you have gone crazy, Iyanna! You better leave my house!” “No, no, no, baby. You shouldn’t be raising your voice at me.” She fixed her finger on my lips. ” I should be the one screaming here. Not you. And I’m only going to do that when I’m feeling that hard rock of yours.” Her eyes went down to my crotch. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Iyanna had always been a flirt, but I never *expected her to cross the line like this. I had to get her out of my room before things got out of hand. 11 HOPES DASHED “Look, Iyanna, I don’t know what you’re trying to do here, but it’s not going to work. I love Sofie and I would never cheat on her.” She rolled her eyes and let out a frustrated sigh. “You’re such a prude, Mason. What’s so wrong with a little bit of fun?” “Fun? This is not fun, this is wrong. You need to leave, now.” I could see the anger and disappointment in her eyes, but I didn’t care. I couldn’t let her seduce me and ruin my relationship with Sofie. I had always seen Iyanna as just a friendly neighbor, but now she was making advances towards me. I couldn’t deny that she was attractive, but I loved Sofie and I didn’t want to betray her like this. “What the hell, Iyanna?!” I yelled, my anger rising. “I told you, there’s no need for you to put on an act. Just relax and let me show you a good time.” She wanted to reach for my groin again, but I still seized her hand. “Don’t you dare,” I glared at her. Iyanna laughed, and wanted to unbuckle her bra, but I quickly held her hand. What the fuck is wrong with you?!” I shrieked at her. “Don’t you dare carry out this nonsense, okay?” “Come on, now, don’t tell me you don’t like it,” she said softly, biting her lips. I could feel myself getting hard. But I wasn’t going to be swayed by this. “I don’t.” She raised an eyebrow, wrapping her arm around my neck, her finger slowly moving down my chest. “Are you sure?” “Positive,” I replied sternly, pushing her away. Iyanna let out a sigh and sat back down on the bed, crossing her arms over her chest. “I don’t understand why you’re so uptight, Mason. We’re both adults, we can have some fun,” she pouted. “I’m not uptight, I just have morals and respect for my girlfriend,” I retorted. “Yeah, that’s bullshit. You’re telling me now that you don’t want to have fun with a hot chick like me?” I glimpsed at her. “No!” She laughed. “I know what’s going to change your mind of yours.” 119 HOPES DAS) 3/4 I said nothing, but watch Iyanna as she stood up, and before I knew it, she took off her bra, exposing her breasts. I closed my eyes immediately, trying to resist the temptation. “Don’t be shy now,” she said softly. “If you don’t leave now, I’m going to call the cops,” I warned her, with my eyes still closed. “Are you sure about that?” I felt a hand on my groin, causing me to get harder the more. I opened my eyes immediately, and she smirked. “See, I knew you weren’t going to resist this.” She took my towel down, gripped my rod tightly, squeezing it. I closed my eyes, feeling the pleasure. I had no idea what the hell was wrong with me. I couldn’t help myself as she continued to stroke and play with me, her hands moving faster and faster. I moaned, unable to control myself any longer. She smirked, knowing the effect she had on me. “You like that, don’t you?” she whispered seductively in my ear. I didn’t reply, but my mind was foggy with desire. I wanted to stop this, but I just couldn’t. The pleasure was too much, and it had taken full control of my senses. She pushed me back onto the bed and climbed on top of me, straddling me. I could feel her heat as she grinded on me driving me wild. I grabbed her hips, pulling her closer to me, desperate for more contact. She leaned down and kissed me passionately, her hands roaming all over my body. I was lost in the moment, completely consumed by her. But we both had to cease what we were doing when the door opened. Sofie was staring at us, and her expression clearly showed that she couldn’t believe what she was seeing at the moment. “Sofie?” I brought out in shock as I pushed Iyanna off me. She shook her head in disappointment, pain written all over her face. And then she stormed out of the room. “Sofie, wait!” I bawled, put my towel back on, and ran after her. She had gotten to the stairs, but I quickly approached her, seizing her hand. “Wait, I can explain! ” “What is there to say, Mason? You broke my trust.” “Please, just listen to me,” I pleaded. “What is there to listen to? I thought I could trust you, Mason. But you were just like all the others. 71% HOPES DASHED “No, Sofie, it’s not like that. Iyanna and I were just..” “Don’t even try to make excuses,” she cut me off. “I saw everything with my own eyes.” I drove my hands through my hair, letting out a sigh. “I know, and I’m sorry. It was a mistake, I swear.” “A mistake? Is that what you call it? I can’t believe you, Mason. I thought you were different.” “I am different. I love you, Sofie. I would never do anything to hurt you.” “Love? Is that what you call this? You have a funny way of showing it.” “Please, just give me a chance to explain. I promise it meant nothing.” “Enough, Mason!” She snapped. “I shouldn’t even be here any more.” “Where will you be going to, at this time of the night?” “It’s none of your business! You broke me, Mason.I just don’t know what to do!” She burst into tears, and quickly treaded downstairs. “Sofie!” I bawled, moving behind her. Before I could get close, she stormed out of the house.
