Chapter 39: What’s Your Confusion?
It was almost midnight, and if Sean was seen in Jodie’s room, surely people would wonder and talk. Isn’t he doing it on purpose? Jodie thought.
“So what?” Sean said indifferently.
“Uncle Sean, please remember that legally I’m your adopted daughter, though your parents request me to call you uncle.”
“We are only twelve years apart.”
“But… but legally, I’m your daughter and…”
Before Jodie could finish her sentence, Sean shut her up by planting a kiss on her lips. It startled her at first, and soon she had to surrender to his melting kiss. It wasn’t until she felt like she couldn’t breathe did Sean release her.
She gazed at him, breathing fast and heavily. “Uncle Sean, you can’t…”
“Can’t I? You loved kissing me when you were little. Why? Now you don’t like it anymore?”
“It’s not the same. What we are doing now is… is.. immor…” the word ‘immoral’ was swallowed by Sean’s sudden kiss again. How his tongue swam around her mouth excited Jodie so much that she forgot to breathe, and when she finally managed to free herself from his embrace, she panted and stammered, “Uncle Sean, this is…”
“This is nothing. Do you want something real?” Sean said and swiftly wrapped an arm around her waist, pulled her into his embrace, and as he kissed her gently this time, he slipped his other hand into her loose silky robe. His fingers slid softly on her smooth skin, and Jodie shivered with pleasure. “Uncle Sean… No… Please, I can’t. I don’t understand.”
“Neither do I.” Sean pulled her even closer to him and moved his hand from her waist down to her leg, and slowly advanced it up between her thighs. “I don’t understand why you haunt me in my dreams every night.”
Jodie opened her eyes wide. He thinks of me every night as well? Same as how I think of him? Does he also have the same kind of dreams of me as I have of him? Of us? She blushed terribly.
“Uncle Sean.” She spoke softly, “Sean.” It was the first time she ever called him Sean instead of Uncle Sean. “You have been coming to my room often these nights. Why?”
“Don’t you like seeing me here?”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“And, and what you have said to me lately, I…. err… I find it confusing.”
“What’s your confusion?”
“I…”
Sean moved his lips up to her left ear, kissed it, licked it, and whispered into it, “Jo, do you want me to marry another woman and even have a family with her?”
Despite herself, Jodie shook her head. “No. I don’t. Sean. You said you would love me forever, and I’m the most important person to you.”
“What about you then? Will you replace me with another man?”
Jodie shook her head first, then nodded and said, “I will try not to think about you and find a boyfriend. Sean, you should marry someone else, it’s impossible… it will be easier for both of us…”
“Don’t you ever replace me! Don’t you ever find another man!” Sean said sternly and looked straight into Jodie’s eyes.
Startled and frightened by his sudden anger, Jodie shook her head. “Ok. I won’t. I won’t. But still, you need to get married and have your own family one day… I can’t…”
He kissed her again, more passionately than before. This time, Jodie gave up completely. She allowed his passion for invading her every cell as his lips and tongue slid from her lips down to her neck, her shoulder, and as he untied her robe, he kissed her breasts softly.
Jodie moaned with pleasure. His tongue lingered on her nipples, stroking them gently and feeling them harden with satisfaction. “Do you like it?” He whispered.
“Yes.” Jodie moaned and wrapped her hands around his head, stroking his soft hair as he buried his head between her breasts. She shivered with ecstatic joy.
“Do you love me, Jo?”
“I…”
Suddenly, there came a knock at the door, and the two froze.
“Jodie, are you still awake? I’ve brought you some cookies and tea.” It was Jenny, Sean’s mother.
It was strange that Jenny would care about Jodie and even come to her room at this time. She must have come with a certain purpose. Jodie thought.
“Sean, you have to hide,” Jodie whispered, and before Sean said anything, she pushed him into her closet and closed the door.
In a hurry, she put on her robe and opened the door. “Jenny, come in.”
Jenny placed the tray down on the bedside table, walked about the room as if checking on the furniture, and asked casually, “Is there anything else you would like for your room?”
Jodie’s heart was beating fast. She tried not to look at the closet, and as calmly as she could, she shook her head and said, “I don’t think so. Thanks for asking.”
“I noticed that your light’s still on and was wondering what kept you up so late.”
“Ah. I had a long bath and forgot about the time. I was just about to go to bed, actually.”
“I see. How’s your new job going, by the way?”
“So far, so good. Uncle Sean has been helping me as well. He gives me some very practical suggestions and has introduced some clients to me…” Jodie’s voice grew softer as she spoke, realizing that she was mentioning Sean.
“Jodie, you are a grown woman now. I don’t want you to repeat your uncle’s path. You see, the Anderson Corporation is one of the biggest companies nationally, and not everyone can get a job there. I’m sure there are plenty of young and excellent young men. I hope you can find yourself a good boyfriend soon. Sean and I will be happy for you. I will make sure you have a great wedding.”
Jodie smiled a reluctant smile and said, “Thanks, Jenny.”
Sean was listening while fiddling about Jodie’s undergarments in the closet. On hearing what his mother said, he knitted his brows.
Every item in the closet was selected and bought by Sean. He picked pink underwear and wondered what it would look like on her. A little cute and sexy pussy cat. He thought.
