Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 78: Grand Gesture

EMMA’s POV :

"What the fuck is wrong with that kid? Who the hell he thinks he is? Giving me orders?"

Ian barked as soon as I closed the door behind me.

"Ian..." I started, but he cut me off.

"And have you been drinking with him?"

I stared at him, wide eyed and I scoffed, "Are you seriously raising your voice at me right now?"

He looked taken aback, not expecting that reaction from me.

But what did he expect? He was the one that stood me up on my birthday, and then he had the audacity to come over here and yell at me?

"You owe me an explanation, Ian.A big one,"I demanded.

He took a deep breath and let out a sigh.

He took my hand in his and he started to speak, "I was in a very important meeting and my battery ran out.I lost track of time.When it was over and I realized my phone was dead, it was already too late.I went to the restaurant but they said you already left.And then I went back to the apartment and I found all your stuff was gone.I didn't know where you'd be.I got in a car and drove around the city looking for you and when I couldn't find you, I drove all the way here,"

He looked sincerely worried, but I wasn’t having it.

I pulled my hand away and said, "I'm not impressed anymore, okay? I'm not impressed by your grand gestures, Ian.I'm tired of being second best,"

"What do you mean?" he looked lost.

He narrowed his eyebrows and said, "You're never second best to me, you know that,"

He tried to reach for my hand again but I took a step back entirely, purposefully leaving a safe distance between us.

"No, I don’t.I used to think I do, but I don’t know anymore," I shook my head firmly.

"Emma, come on, don't be like this," he pleaded.

Tears were pooling around my eyes as I said, "Ever since the gallery happened...you were so focused on yourself and you kinda forgot about us,"

Ian opened his mouth as if he was gonna say something, but he stopped.

That look in his eyes said it all, I was right and he knew I was right.

"I didn’t wanna say anything because I didn’t wanna be selfish...But I was waiting for you every day and night, just so I could hear you say ‘hi’ or ‘good night’. I felt so small and so insignificant compared to your dreams...And If I think about our future and how it's gonna be like that forever, I don’t know if I would want that..."

"Baby girl, listen to me,"he reached for my face, but I chose to look away.

"I'll admit I was wrong.I got too caught up in the moment, but I never wanted you to feel like this.You're not insignificant to me.You're the most significant thing in the world.Everything I do, I do it for us.For our future," C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"You say that, but your actions say another thing.The gallery is like your own little world and you wouldn't let me be a part of it,"

I tried to shove him away, but he was too strong.

My hands were on his chest and he gripped them tightly.

"I didn’t wanna bother you with all the details, I want you to see it when it’s ready.I just..."he paused for a second before continuing, "I just wanna be someone you can be proud of,"

He looked defeated.His grip on my hands loosened and I used the opportunity to slip my hands away.He looked at me with a sad smile and said,

"You're out here and you're living your best life.I’m so goddamn proud of you for what you’ve accomplished.You're a smart girl, you're gonna go places.I wanna be a man that deserves a girl like you.I don’t wanna just be some teacher at some high school,"

His words broke my heart.

I never realized that he was doing all these things because he felt insecure.

My hands reached for his tired face and I cupped his cheeks gently.He tried to look away, but I forced his eyes to look into mine.

"I'm always proud of you, Ian.Even before the gallery and even when you're just my teacher, I am always proud of you,"

His eyes glistened a little and I held onto him tighter.

He let out a deep sigh and his arms linked around my waist.

Leaning his head down, he rested his forehead against mine and he closed his eyes as if he was in pain.

"You're the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I don’t wanna lose you,"he said.

"You're not gonna lose me,"I said reassuringly.

"Just please, don't stand me up on birthday ever again," He opened his eyes and stifled a laugh.

I smiled back and he pulled me into a hug.He was holding onto me so tightly, and he snuggled his head on the crook of my neck.

My fingers ran against his lush dark hair and he whispered lowly against my skin, "I don’t deserve you,"

"Ian..." I breathed.

"I'm really sorry.I was so caught up in chasing that dream, I lost track of what's truly important for me,"he said and he pulled away slightly.

His hand went to cup the side of my face, his fingers caressing my skin gently.His gaze held volume as those dark brown eyes pierced deeply into mine.

"All those things don’t mean a thing if I don't have you,"A single tear trickled down my face involuntarily.

Those were the words I had been dying to hear."Do you mean that?" my voice was shaking.

"This world doesn’t mean a thing, do you hear me? Because you're my world,"

The dam burst and I was full on crying tears of joy.

Ian caught some of the tears that fell with his thumb, and the ones he didn’t catch, he stopped them with his kisses.

"Will you forgive me?"

he said with his lips softly pressed against my cheek.

"On one condition," I said.

"Anything,"

"Kiss me,"

He didn’t need to be told twice.

His lips crashed onto mine in an instant and he kissed me deep and hard.

He kissed me so hard, it was almost difficult to breathe.

Once I pulled my composure, I tightened my grip around his neck and I kissed him back, hot and passionately.

I parted my mouth for him as his tongue slipped inside and he roamed the corners of my mouth.

Our tongues met and they danced, fighting for dominance, but of course, Ian would win.

Not breaking off the kiss, he led me down on the bed and climbed on top of me.

My hands were busy undoing his tie, pulling it off, and then pushing his suit jacket off.

I was still wearing my onesie pajamas and his hands clumsily groped around my body, looking for the zipper.

He finally found the zipper on my chest and pulled it down all the way to my stomach.

I shuffled out of the onesie and kicked it off, leaving me only in my bra and underwear.

Ian was still wearing his shirt with the buttons half undone.

I went back to undoing his buttons as his lips now attacked the sweet spot on my neck.

Hot moans escaped my lips as he sucked hard on that sweet spot.

I managed to get the shirt off of him and my hands were free to roam his rock-hard body.

My fingers trailed the tattoos all over him and he shivered under my touch.

When my hands rubbed against the bulge of his pants, Ian let out a muffled groan.

I was impatient, so I quickly unzipped him and pushed his pants and boxers down.

His member sprung up in an instant, pressing hard against my bare stomach.

Ian let out another muffled groan and he pushed my bra down, revealing my naked breasts.

His mouth traveled to my nipples and he sucked them both one by one.

I was squirming and moaning all over the place.

My nails dug deep into his shoulder blades.

I wanted him more and more.

I couldn't hold it anymore, my hand traveled down his body and I was reaching for his member, when he pushed my hand away and growled.

"Ian...I want you now..." I whined.

"I know you do," he said simply and he pinned both my wrists on the bed.

Using his tie, he then tied both my hands together above my head.

"What are you doing?" I gave him a puzzled look.

"Trust me," he said simply.

I wanted to protest some more, but he already delved down and his mouth was on my breasts again.

His hand worked its way down and pulled my panties off of me.

I was completely bare and exposed to him.

He slid one finger inside me effortlessly and said, "Damn, you're so ready,"

I was as wet as a waterpark.

Flipping me over to my stomach, he pulled a pillow and placed it under me so that my ass was sticking out into the air.

His fingers snaked around my waist and they were rubbing my clit ferociously as he positioned himself behind me.

The next thing I knew, I felt his tip slowly enter my folds.

He stopped midway let out a soft groan.

I let out a sharp gasp as he suddenly pushed his entire length in me without warning.

I felt so full with his entire length in me and when he started moving and hitting my g-spot, I knew I was being sent to heaven on an express train.

The combination of his fingers on my clit and his deep hard thrusts was sending me over the edge.

Within minutes, my body convulsed as I came unraveling around him.

"Ah!"I screamed aloud as I reached my climax.

"Yes, baby girl, that’s it," he groaned and slowed down his movement, allowing my walls to constrict all around him.

I was still reeling from the wave of euphoria when I felt him pull out and he flipped me again on my back.

My hands were tied up and powerless above my head.

He pulled both of my legs up and threw each one over his shoulder.

Both his hands were holding my hips, propping my entrance up against his member.

"Ah!"

I let out another scream as I felt him enter me again.

He was sliding in and out of me so effortlessly as I was soaking wet from my own juices.

His hands pushed my hips down as he moved forward with his thrusts.

The sound of our skins slapping against each other filled the air and I felt another build up rising in my stomach.

"Scream for me, baby girl," he ordered

"Ian...Ian...Ian!"

my moans turned into screams as he thrust deeper and harder each time.

Ian pushed his entire body weight down until my body was practically folded in half.

Our faces were inches away from each other and my legs were up, pinned against our bodies.

"Ah!" I clenched hard as he made me come again for the second time.

He slowed his movements and gazed deeply into my eyes.It was such an intimate moment.Second to none.

And although my hands were tied together, I brought them over his head and rested them around his neck, pulling him close.

"Ian..." I said softly in between moans.

"Yeah, baby girl?"

"I'm not saying...I want you to give up...on your dream.I still...want you...to get that...gallery...but, just...think about me....every once in a while...okay?"

He let out a soft chuckle and said, "No matter what I'm doing, I’m always thinking about you, baby girl,"

He leaned his face down and planted a long, tender kiss on my lips.

He pulled away only to gaze into my eyes, and he smiled at me as he said, "I promise from now on, nothing will get in the way of me loving you.No dreams or distance are gonna keep us apart.Deal?"

"Deal,"I nodded lightly.

"I know you're starting school again next week, but I was thinking I could drive up here on the weekends to see you.Would that be okay?"

"That would be great," I was smiling from ear to ear.

"And I can take the train to come see you on the weekends too,"

"Deal," he nodded.

And with that, he picked up the pace and his thrusts grew faster and harder.

I was close to reaching my climax again, so I bucked my hips up to meet his movements.

He pushed his length deep inside my quivering core, pushing me towards another orgasm.

I was moaning incoherently as he continued thrusting hard into me, and the next thing I knew, my walls tightened and spasmed around his length and my body shook uncontrollably.

Ian followed right after me, he let out a string of curses as he pulled my hips against his tightly.

He leaned back, pushing as far as he could as he unloaded his cum into me.

I let out a breathless moan as I felt his warm spill all over my insides.

We remained motionless for a minute as his length pushed out the last few pulses of cum.

Eventually, he pulled away and rolled over next to me, releasing my legs back down.

My hands were still tied up, but I didn’t care.

Using upper body strength, I rolled to my side and snuggled into his chest, wanting to be held.

Ian pulled me into his arms and we cuddled for a while.

He kissed the top of my head and let out a sigh.

I was smiling as I buried my face deep into his chest, listening to his heart beating rapidly.

With one hand, Ian tilted my chin up so that I could see his eyes.

He was smiling down at me as he said, "Look at you, you're gonna be a sophomore in college soon,"

"Look at you, you're gonna own an art gallery in New York City," I replied.

We were both smiling and gazing deeply into each other's eyes.

I knew it wasn’t gonna be easy, but our love was more powerful than ever.

I knew we could make it through anything, sophomore year and New York City included.

As if he knew what I was thinking, Ian leaned his face down and said, "To us and our future together,"

I nodded and closed the distance between us.

"To us,"
