Maya & Tarik - The Test Pt. 04

Dear Reader,

Thank you for again joining me for the next installment of Maya and Tarik's story. A reminder before you dive in. There are five parts to this chapter, and these are a bit longer than previous chapters. This chapter continues to develop the story, but still focusing on the relationship between Maya and Tarik. There are still lots of juicy bits, don't worry. But if you aren't a big fan of the additional detail and want a story that focuses mainly on the sexy stuff, you may wish to move on. I won't be offended if you do, after all, I know why you're *really* here. ; ) I'd much rather you skip the story than give it a bad rating because it wasn't "sexy enough."

For the uninitiated, I suggest starting at the beginning with "The Journey", followed by "Them" and returning to "The Test."

Without further ado, I hope you enjoy this next installment.

--IV--

The morning after their first encounter with Victor together, Maya and Tarik awoke early and took a light breakfast of orange juice, eggs, toast, and fruit in the dining room with the back of the house open. The day would soon turn hot, and the summer heat and soggy air kept them indoors, with the windows closed up most of the day. Now that summer had arrived in its blazing glory, the morning was really the only time they could enjoy having everything open. As they ate their breakfast, they smiled and giggled with each other, and Maya could not keep her hands off Tarik. He was naked, and Maya only had on a sheer robe, and being exposed to each other was too much. Tarik also couldn't keep his hands to himself, and they barely finished breakfast before they were on top of each other; Tarik pushed back into the couch with Maya climbing on top of him.

She immediately slid his cock deep inside of her, still aching for more of him even though she had been filled the night before, by both Victor and Tarik's cocks. They moaned in unison as she rocked back and forth on him, feeling his stiffness caressing her soft canal. They were still sensitive and turned on from the night before, and it was only a matter of minutes before Tarik's deep orgasm exploded into Maya's pussy. His cum filling her up felt so good, Maya came hard on Tarik's cock. He emptied his cock further inside her as she came, and she cried out, clutching Tarik's head to her chest as she had another orgasm, her shaft milking his cock.

They settled into each other as they came down from their orgasms, their breath coming in gasps. Tarik gently licked and kissed Maya's chest and nipples while he rested inside of her as she stayed on his lap.

"Mmm, I see you are still not satisfied from last night..."

"Oh my love, I am always satisfied by you. I just can't help myself when you're sitting there with no clothes on and looking so sexy with your cock hanging there. It's just so tempting."

Maya licked her lips and tilted her head down to give Tarik a kiss.

"Well, I know I satisfied you last night, but did Victor?"

"Yes and no. I mean, clearly, his cock does not do to me what yours does."

Maya gently rocked her hips against Tarik's, his cock still inside her.

"But, he is also inexperienced, and it did feel a little awkward the whole night. I don't know. I guess I expected it to be a lot hotter than I thought it was."

"So you didn't enjoy it with him?"

"No, I did, but just not as much as I thought I would. Maybe it was because he was so nervous, and getting him to leave was awkward. So that just made it weird."

"That's true. I thought that too, but I wasn't sure if I should say anything."

"Even as inexperienced as Victor is, this is also new for us in a way too. At least being with other men like this, in our home. So maybe part of it being awkward was us too..."

"It could be. Do you want to try with him again? To see if it gets any better?"

Tarik pulled Maya close to him and wrapped his arms completely around her, his face buried in her chest. She slid her fingers through his hair and along his neck.

"Maybe. Do you want me to try again? Did you enjoy watching me?"

"Oh, yes, yes I did, very much. Seeing you with him, and how quickly you made him cum..."

Maya felt Tarik begin to stiffen inside of her as she slowly shifted her hips against his, loving that he got turned on just thinking about her from the night before. She was feeling uneasy about Victor though she didn't exactly know why. But feeling Tarik getting so turned on, it was hard to tell him that, and she thought maybe she was too harsh on Victor.

"Well, then perhaps we will need to see him again at some point since you enjoyed it so much."

"Yes, please, my love."

Maya pulled Tarik out from inside her and stood in front of him, her sheer robe falling off her shoulders. She always looked so incredibly sexy and magnificent, but this morning, she had a richer glow about her that mesmerized Tarik. Maya let her robe fall down, and she leaned forward to kiss Tarik deep on the lips, her breasts softly swinging underneath her.

"Let's go for a swim. We both need to cool off."

She winked at Tarik and ran her finger along the length of his cock, letting it bounce as she released him.

Maya turned around and strode to the back of the house, Tarik drinking in her soft figure, appreciating every dimple on her ass and thighs as she swung her hips. She sure knew how to make him crazy, and he loved it. Tarik hopped off the couch and ran out onto the deck and past Maya, diving into the pool ahead of her.

"Show off!"

Maya laughed as she eased into the water, entranced by the way the water rippled around Tarik's body.

It was already hot outside, with the sun blazing, and the cool water felt good. They swam for some time and rested with each other in the water before getting out and going about another typical weekend day. Maya busied herself around the house, tending to the indoor plants and the herbs outside of the kitchen and running laundry while Tarik filmed an online yoga class and spent the afternoon cleaning. It was a productive but satisfying day for both of them, just the way they liked it.

The two weeks that followed were pretty much business as usual, with Maya busy at the university and Tarik at the studio. Neither Maya nor Tarik brought up Victor, and he seemed to barely cross their minds. As it got even hotter, Maya and Tarik retreated more often indoors during their time at home, relaxing in the library, catching up on their favorite tv shows, and taking leisurely evening swims. Maya was taking particular delight in the summer's bounty with the vegetable and fruit garden going in with just enough time to get established to be able to harvest a lot of their food.

Maya was working in her office on campus one day when her phone buzzed with a call. It caught her off guard because Tarik was pretty much the only person to ever call her cell phone, and he made sure to never disturb her during the workday unless it was an absolute emergency. She picked it up and was surprised to see Victor's name and number pop up on the screen. A bit annoyed, Maya huffed and sent the call to voicemail. A few minutes later, the phone lit up again with a message. She opened it and listened to a long and somewhat rambling message from a very nervous Victor. Maya chuckled a bit at the sort of sweetness about it but still was irritated by the interruption. She put her phone back in her bag so she could get back to work.

At the end of the day, Maya packed up her things and headed out of the office, eager to get home to Tarik. On the drive to the house, she thought about Victor's message and whether to call him back. Having told him that she would call him when they needed him, she was chafed that he reached out and wasn't following directions. The last thing she needed was another guy who didn't respect her boundaries. And nothing got on her nerves more than a man who couldn't follow instructions.

That evening during dinner, Maya told Tarik about Victor's phone call and how she wasn't sure if she wanted to respond to him. Even though he could see she was annoyed by it, Tarik couldn't help but feel excited about the possibility of seeing her with Victor again. To encourage her to respond, Tarik suggested that maybe Maya could use it as a training opportunity, and hopefully, Victor would follow directions going forward. Maya liked the idea of asserting her dominance with Victor, so she agreed to give him another chance. That night before bed, Maya texted Victor to summon him, saying only, "Saturday, 6:00 pm."

--

Victor waited all day for a return call or text from Maya. He wasn't sure if he should call her since she told him that she would contact him, but he couldn't stop thinking about her and desperately wanted to be with her again. He was still feeling self-conscious about his performance, especially after hearing and watching Tarik please Maya so much better than he could. He was eager to redeem himself and show Maya what a good lover he could be. He thought he would have heard from her sooner, and after two weeks he grew impatient and called her.

He was thrilled when Maya sent him a text late that night telling him to be at their house at 6:00 pm on Saturday. The message was short and abrupt, and Victor had a sinking feeling that he messed up by calling Maya instead of waiting for her to reach out. He would have to try and make it up to her. He wanted so much to make her happy and hated that she might be mad at him. Even though it was a few days away, Victor spent the rest of the night planning what to wear, say, and do. He was determined to make Maya want him even more.

Saturday came way too slowly for Victor in his anticipation of being with Maya again. Her text said to come at 6:00 pm, but knowing that Tarik was usually at the studio until then, Victor decided to arrive at 5:00 pm, hoping to catch Maya alone. He thought it was a bit of a sneaky move, but he felt desperate in his longing for Maya and his desire to please her. He would do whatever it took to prove himself to her. In preparation for the evening, Victor had gone shopping for some new casual clothes, realizing that his non-dress clothes were primarily work clothes. He wanted to look relaxed but not shabby.

While he was shopping, he kept on the lookout for things that Tarik might wear. Victor figured if Maya was so turned on by Tarik, that maybe if he wore similar clothes, it would help bring out her desire for him. Victor showered, got dressed, and feeling satisfied with his appearance (including the new beard he was trying to grow), he got in his car and drove up to the Marcus house. He was feeling confident and sure of himself and was optimistic that tonight was going to go well. He parked his car and rang the gate at 5:00 pm on the dot, hoping that Maya would hear it if she was in the office.

Tarik and Maya were both in their office and looked up at each other when they heard the gate bell ring. Tarik looked at Maya, a quizzical look on his face.

"He's early, right? You told him, 6:00?"

Maya was clearly exasperated and let out a heavy sigh.

"Yeah, I don't know why he's showing up now. Just let him in, and I'll be out when I'm done."

"Yes, ma'am."

Tarik opened the gate to let Victor in and went to meet him. As Victor approached, Tarik jerked the door open, clearly surprising him. Tarik hid his irritation, greeting Victor with a smile and a clap on the shoulder. Tarik couldn't help but notice the obviously new clothes and beginner's beard but decided not to comment on them.

"You're early!"

Tarik tried to keep the friendliness in his voice, but ultimately his tone let Victor know that his early arrival was not appreciated. Victor replied meekly, trying to feign surprised innocence.

"Oh no, am I? I'm sorry, I must have gotten the time wrong."

"Yes, you did, but that's okay. Maya is just finishing some work in her office and will be with us shortly. I have a few calls to make, but just make yourself comfortable on the deck, and we'll be out soon."

Tarik left Victor in the great room and walked to the library. Victor felt the sharpness of the sting in their interaction. He didn't think of Tarik as a jealous person, but he definitely wasn't happy about his early arrival. If Tarik wasn't pleased, Victor knew Maya wouldn't be either. Suddenly Victor felt queasy about his plan potentially backfiring, quietly muttering under his breath.

"Shit, I wonder if I'm messing this all up."

Victor looked around the house to distract himself, finally studying more of the room now that he had a moment alone to do so. Along with a wide variety of art on the walls and shelves, there were photos of Maya and Tarik's wedding along with photos of their various vacations, the two of them smiling and happy on wooded hikes, camping, or with what looked to be Mediterranean and Caribbean backdrops behind them. Victor felt a longing deep inside him, a longing for a life so comfortable and happy the way that Maya and Tarik were with each other. He felt jealous too, and in a way that stirred some anger in him, angry that he would never have this kind of life with Maya, not if he had to compete with Tarik.

Victor's breath caught in his throat at this revelation. He would never go so far as to try and harm Tarik, of course, but perhaps if Victor kept trying to spend time with her alone, and Maya saw how much he cared for her, she would at least want to be with him too, and maybe feel the same way about him as he did her. Perhaps Victor could make Maya love him the way she loved Tarik. He was sure he could if he just had the chance.

As Victor examined the photos and other items along the wall, he ended up by the hallway near the library and could hear Tarik's voice drifting down the corridor as he made his phone calls. He wanted to listen to who Tarik was talking to but couldn't make it out clearly with the hallway between the two rooms. It was a surprisingly lovely evening, and though it looked like some rain might be coming, Victor knew the library windows would be open. He moved onto the deck, taking up a chair at the dining table that kept him out of view of the library but close enough that he could lean back ever so slightly and hear Tarik's conversation clearly.

"Hey, Thai Palace, it's Tarik. How are you?"

He paused for a few seconds as he listened to the response from the other end.

"Good, good, excellent. Yeah, so Maya's birthday is coming up, and I just wanted to make sure our room and reservation are booked."

"Perfect, and lots of yellow curry for her too, and those crispy spring rolls she likes, don't forget! And your mango custard! It's her 40th, so it has to be special with all her favorites!"

"Haha, thank you, she's so excited. So we'll see you next Saturday at 7:30 pm, okay. Bye."

It's Maya's birthday soon? Victor had no idea.

"Hmm...why wouldn't she say anything about her birthday or the party?" Victor wondered to himself.

He furrowed his brow as he thought about this. Was Maya planning on inviting him? Probably not. He was just the landscaper and their fuck buddy, after all. It's not like they even really talked anymore either. Victor felt more determined than ever to make Maya cum the way Tarik could tonight and make her feel how much he desired her. He wanted to make sure she knew how much he wanted to be with her. He desperately wanted to be a part of her life.

He was still leaning back, listening to Tarik in the library make another call when he heard Maya's voice, her tone clearly conveying her annoyance.

"You're early."

Victor snapped to attention and tilted his chair forward, his face flushed as he turned to face her.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I got the time wrong. Tarik said to just make myself comfortable, so I came out here while he was doing other things. He said you were finishing up in the office, so..."

"Hmm..."

Maya looked down at him, her face betraying her mood. Victor stared up at her, unsure of what to say as she assessed him. She wore a short tank top style dress, and it was so tight that Victor could clearly see that she was not wearing a bra or panties. She was barefoot, and her toenails sparkled with their usual gold polish. Maya looked him up and down, noticing his stubbly new beard, linen pants and cotton t-shirt, uncharacteristic of Victor's style and closely resembling Tarik's. She raised an eyebrow as she assessed his appearance.

"You look different."

Her words and voice were pointed as her eyes scanned up and down his body. Victor swallowed hard, suddenly feeling very nervous and less confident.

"Oh uh, yeah, I had to get some new clothes. Most of mine are pretty shabby."

"I see..."

She wasn't satisfied with his answer but let it go.

"I told you Victor, I would let you know when you were needed. You did not need to call me."

Maya's voice and expression remained sharp, not hiding the irritation in her voice, her arms crossed in front of her. Victor felt his face flush. He knew from Maya's voice that he had messed up. But at the same time, couldn't she just let it go? He wasn't sure how he felt about her talking to him that way. He wanted to please her, though, so he cleared his throat and raised his eyes to hers. He tried to come up with an excuse. He didn't want to admit that he had been aching to see her, but couldn't think of anything quick enough.

"I'm sorry about that, I just uh...I guess I was just...um...I'm sorry."

"Well. Just don't let it happen again."

Something seemed off with Victor tonight, and Maya suspected he was up to something, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Maybe it was just her irritation with him making her suspicious. She let her misgivings go for the moment as a soft rain started, drops falling on the tables, chairs, and on the deck. The air was now thick with humidity, and the evening's sultriness grew more intense with the sun just beginning to set. Maya cocked her head to the side and looked up, giving a chuckle as she started back into the house.

"Looks like we'll be taking this inside tonight..."

Victor watched her stride away, the curve of her body moving softly underneath her dress. He saw that Tarik was sitting in the dining room now, watching their interaction, a slight smirk on his face. Victor felt even more embarrassed now, especially since Tarik seemed to be enjoying his admonishment. Maya turned back to Victor and, seeing that he was still sitting on the deck, put her hands on her hips, and raised her eyebrow again, tapping her foot on the floor.

"Well, come on then. Don't keep me waiting."

Before he knew it, Victor was naked and sitting in a chair next to the dining table, facing Tarik, who was now on the couch in the sitting area. It was hard not to look at him, but luckily Maya came and took his attention by kneeling in front of him to take his cock in her mouth. Victor hardened quickly as Maya ran her tongue and lips along his shaft. She sucked him expertly, and Victor had to restrain himself from cumming too quickly. He had masturbated several times that day in hopes of being able to last longer, but with her mouth on him, it was just too much.

Maya released Victor from her mouth and, grabbing his chin hard, kissed him roughly on the mouth. He was taken aback at her intensity but also enjoyed it a little. Clearly, this was her dominant side coming out. She stared him in the eyes while she stroked his hot shaft with her other hand.

"Are you holding your cum back from me? I don't like that..."

"N-n-o...I just want to last longer for you..."

Victor could only stutter out his response, his breath coming quick as she pulled on his cock.

"Well, I want your cum, so you better cum for me."

She stood facing Tarik and hiked her dress up around her waist. Victor got an eyeful of her ass and reached his hands up to massage it. Tarik couldn't help but smile and feel his own cock begin to ache from watching Maya. Without a word and her eyes still locked on Tarik, she backed into Victor and straddled him on the chair, lowering herself down onto his cock, his hands on her hips, guiding her onto him. Tarik shifted on the couch. He loved to watch her face as she took another man's cock inside of her, and he felt his continue to harden. Maya sat up on Victor and pushed her hips into him, rolling his cock in her pussy as she rode him.
