Distracted Studying

[Rachel Shale]

Rachel sat in the university library - psychology textbooks surrounding her. Rachel had taken a few days off her work on her thesis. The first had led to a break up with Cruz. The second had led to Lucio, and the third had been a night full of amazing sex. She had slept most of the next day. Truthfully she hadn’t felt good at all - almost sick - but in a way she didn’t understand. She wasn’t sick. She had just felt weird. 

Lucio was always in her mind, and it made studying extremely difficult. She reread paragraphs because they didn’t stick in her mind. All the notecards in front of her were blank. She was getting nowhere. All she wanted to do was be with Lucio. All she could think about was Lucio. She needed to work on her thesis, but she needed him too. 

Rachel leaned over in the table, banging her head quietly on it before pulling a large book in front of her and attempting to read. She tried again, but soon had her wallet in her hands, and she fought with whether to text Lucio or not. She really needed to work on her thesis. She really shouldn’t text him. But she needed him.

Rachel put her wallet down on the open book in front of her, placed her elbows on the table, and rested her face in her hands. Rachel was a good, hardworking student and she couldn’t remember a time she felt this unfocused on her studies. She was at a loss for what to do.

”Rachel,” a voice said. ”Are you okay?”

Rachel looked to see Dietra, another master’s student across the table from her, a concerned look on her face. ” I just can’t focus on this at all,” Rachel said, keeping the annoyance out of her voice. She only wanted to see Lucio.

Dietra gave her a bright smile. ”it’s okay. You’ve been working really hard. Don’t pay attention to that “you’re behind” bullshit. The professors want to push you. You probably can’t focus because you need a break. Take a few days off come back to it.”

Rachel smiled. ”Maybe I’ll try that.”

Dietra gave her another smile before excusing herself. Maybe a few days off would help. She could have a mini-vacation or something. Be nice to maybe get out of the city. Lucio would have to be okay with it. She hoped she didn’t make him mad by asking it. He made the choices. She picked up her wallet.

Hey cutie :-* can’t stop thinking about our night together.

Lucio Pirozzi

Me either. But shouldn't you be studying. You don't want your sister and brother in law to think somethings wrong and forbid you from seeing me do you?

How about I meet you for lunch? With real food, and maybe live a fantasy. I've always wanted to ya know... in the stacks of a busy library.

[Rachel Shale]

It didn’t take long for Rachel to get a text back from her Lucio. She smiled when her wallet buzzed and eagerly picked it up to read. What she read made her blush.

”I couldn’t do that!!!    *blushes* 

I’m trying to study! I can’t focus at all! Lunch does sound really good though!

She couldn’t still feel her cheeks were hit from the thought of Lucio pinning her against a wall between stacks of books. She couldn’t do that - not at all!

That was cute, he thought as if she had much choice if he wanted to push her into the stacks and take her. Though he didn't want to do something like that if she truly beleived she'd never do it.

[font=courier new]I'l meet you outside the library and we'll go for a quick lunch"

If she was this distracted he needed to make sure she kept up appearances. He wanted her to want him but not to raise alarms. This was a normal thing, something to last more and longer and he did very much enjoy his time with her. He loved the inexperience and ruining a woman for others when it eventually ended. Teach them to leave him.

[Rachel Shale]

His text came through quick. He said nothing more about his fantasy. Even as she didn’t want to do it, there was a strange thrill to the idea of possibly being discovered, but no she couldn’t do that. The consequences of being found would be too great.

She responded in kind. I’ll meet you there soon. Got to put these books away.”

Lucio had mentioned Emily and Jared not letting her see him anymore. In truth, they didn’t know about him yet. Rachel was sure they suspected something. She had already been out more often than usual. But they generally let her be. At least they had no reason to worry. Rachel didn’t know why she hid it from them. But she did.

Rachel found Lucio outside the library and gave him a kiss. She wanted more so bad. He did something to her she didn’t understand, but she liked it. ”what are you going to surprise me with today,” she said with a bright smile.

Lucio took her to a little whole in the wall diner. It served Italian food that reminded him of home. Alex had recommended it when they'd spoken on the phone -- reminded her of home. And he'd been surprised to find out it had been true.

While they road in the town car behind the closed divider Lucio couldn't keep his hands from Rachel. It was intentional. He wanted to fuel her need for him sexually. His fingers finding intimate parts and rubbing until she moaned. But his touch was also sending her the feelings he wasn't a secret. She could desire him but she couldn't let others see how much she wanted him. That was their secret. For them alone. He leaned into her and whispered those same words. "You can't get distracted by me. You have to finish your Masters. I'll be disappointed if you slip behind." But his fingers kept her going, he wanted her to want him so bad she'd agree to anything he asked. Or suggest it herself. That would be a grand accomplishment. Make her want it so bad she drove the interaction.

But he didn't want her so deep she was useless either. He might have to ignore her for a little while. Though he would miss her body next to his.

Lucio took her to a diner that served Italian food. Lucio seemed to like it a lot, so Rachel assumed it was authentic. She ate her lunch and talked with Lucio. They got back in the town car and the privacy divider went up. Lucio was on her soon and she began to feel her emotions spike with relief.

His hands moved around her body, eliciting moans of pleasure, but she also felt the need to keep this secret. No one could know. Not even Emily or Jared - especially Emily and Jared. They wouldn’t get it. They would misread the situation - they wouldn’t understand her need for him.

Lucio spoke to him, telling him that she had to finish her Masters - she had to study hard or he would be disappointed. She broke off her kisses to speak to him. ”I’ll keep working - study everyday. I promise. Anything for you, my Lucio,”

Rachel felt her hands going around his body. She wanted him - needed him. She pulled herself onto his lap, her hips moving against his. ”I need you - now!” she whispered into his ear. She hoped he would take her, and didn’t even care if the driver watched.

Lucio wasn't surprised when she climbed into his lap. He was eager for it to happen and he didn't hide the motions of undoing his pants to free himself from their confinement. His voice was husky and deep. "Anything for you, my love."

The driver heard a lot. He saw little with the divider closed, but there was no mistaking that they were having sex in the back seat. Lucio pushed their combined lust into Rachel. He wanted the driver to know exactly what was going on -- as if he hadn't figured it out.

By the time they arrived to the library again Lucio was straightening up and pressing a long deep kiss to Rachel's lips. He sent longing and responsibility to her. He wanted this to last as long as possible. She was easily manipulated and it brought an extra layer of arousal to it all.

Before Rachel opened the door he smirked, his fingers lingering on her thigh so he could send a strong emotion to her. "Study hard for the afternoon, and then come to my hotel. I'll have dinner and we can continue this adventure before I drop you off at home."

[Rachel Shale]

Rachel was too drawn in to her lust to even care that the driver was aware they were having sex in the car.  There was nothing more than their lust. They finished and Rachel felt her longing for Lucio deepen as she realized how important it was for her to work on her thesis.  Lucio wanted her to get her Master's, and so did Rachel, but she had to find a way to keep herself from being distracted.  She didn't want him to be upset.

"I'll study hard and take lots of notes.  I promise," she kissed him again and then left.  She already missed Lucio, but she had work to do.

Rachel entered the library and started to locate her books again.  She found her table, but before she started reading, she pulled out her wallet.  Emily, Jared, and Mara couldn't know about Lucio.  They wouldn't understand.  He was older than Rachel was - they would assume the worst. They couldn't find out, but Rachel knew they were on her guard.  She had been behaving oddly.  That could easily be explained.

Hey guys.  I'm sorry I've been strange recently.  The break up has been hard.  Thanks for understanding.  Love you all! she sent to her family chat thread.  They would by it.  It was the first time she had ever lied to them.

Of course they all sent back their love and assurances that they were there for her.  Rachel opened up a book and began to read, finding it surprisingly easy to focus.  That afternoon was one of the most productive afternoons she had.  After she had done a significant amount of work, she closed the book and put her notes back in her bag.  She checked the time - it was later than she had expected.

I'm sorry! I lost track of time. I'm on my way now! She sent to Lucio, hoping he wouldn't be upset with her.  She ordered a cab to take her to his hotel.
