My girlfriend's downfall-Chapter 25 -

Lily had been through hell and back yesterday, used by three different men. Watching it all, I felt this twisted knot of emotions in my gut.

But I was torn. Could Lily still be my girlfriend after all this?

No matter what, I couldn't just leave her now. Her parents had just gone through a tragedy. If I bailed on her now, what would happen to her? I didn't even want to think about it.

Lily texted me, saying she wasn't feeling well and needed a couple of days to rest at home alone. I knew what was really going on, but I just sent back some comforting words.

A week later, I was in a great mood. I heard that Jack and Noah were seriously injured, and it looked like they wouldn't recover anytime soon. They were heading back to their home country in a few days, partly to heal and partly because their injuries were in, well, sensitive areas. It seemed like they couldn't stick around in the U.S. anymore.

I figured they wouldn't be back for a few years. And with them gone, all the drama with Lily and those photos on Jack's camera would disappear too. I didn't fully get what was going on between them, but the thought of it all vanishing made me feel a lot better.

The weather was amazing today. After a chill walk in the park, I was heading home, sipping some water and sneaking glances at the girls in their summer outfits.

Just as I got to my yard, a girl in a white tank top and frayed denim shorts showed up. She wore gold high-heeled flip-flops that showed off her sexy feet, her pink-painted toes like little cherries. Her long, tanned legs gleamed in the sunlight, smooth and flawless.

She turned her head, her long, wavy hair flowing like a waterfall. Her mixed-race beauty shone through as she smiled at me.

It was Lily.

I was speechless, totally mesmerized. Lily blinked her big eyes at me and teased, "Kevin? Why are you just standing there like a fool?"

After everything she'd been through, her radiance surprised me as usual. She was still so beautiful, so stunning. Her chest seemed fuller, maybe from all the attention, peeking out from her tank top. Her hips were the same, more mature and perky, filling out her shorts perfectly.

I don't remember what we said to each other, just that I felt as excited as the first time I was with Lily.

Soon enough, we were naked, and I was holding Lily on the bed.

This time, I not only enjoyed her in the usual way but also explored new dimensions of her body.

Kneeling on the bed, watching my cock slide between Lily's pale cheeks, I couldn't help but wonder how many guys had been here before me. My cock was buried deep, feeling her tight, flexible insides working me over. You don't get that kind of skill without some serious experience.

But I kept my mouth shut, lost in the moment. I thought to myself, "Let's just start fresh and forget everything."

I came deep inside her, then pulled her close, wishing things could stay this way forever. But I was wrong. Even without that jerk Jack, Lily's troubles weren't over.

The news about Lily's parents didn't make much of a splash at Celestial University. Not many people knew about her connection to the Browns. When I dug into the details, I found out that while they were sentenced to death for embezzlement, it was actually a two-year suspended sentence. Basically, life in prison. So, Lily could still visit them; they weren't actually dead.

On that stormy night, Lily had been too distraught to register the "suspended" part. When it finally sunk in, it seemed to lift a huge weight from her shoulders. She was just too sad and impulsive to catch the details, which gave Jack and Noah the chance to take advantage of her grief. In the end, she was even harshly used by some fake officer. Thinking about it made me feel helpless.

If we could forget all the bad stuff, the West Coast was actually a pretty sweet place. Life near Celestial University was laid-back, and most folks were friendly. The air was fresh, with green trees everywhere, and the ocean was just a short drive away. Less than twenty minutes, and I could be at the beach, feeling the salty sea breeze.

It was all so messed up. Even though I'd seen Lily get humiliated by other guys, I had to act like I didn't know, taking care of her with all my heart. And she, even though her body had been forced to betray me, had to pretend nothing happened. Now, with Jack and Noah out of the picture and no sign of that fake officer, it felt like a weight had been lifted.

At first, I wasn't sure if we should keep going. Could I handle the fact that Lily had been with other men? Was I just obsessed with her body?

But there was no clear answer. Soon enough, we found ourselves diving into another phase of passionate love.
