The Red Seat Ibiza

Finding a "good girl" like Clara came with a price: expectations. I was only nineteen, but the relationship was moving fast.

First, I had to face her father. It felt like a job interview. I stood in their living room, formally asking for permission to date his daughter while he grilled me on my future. I played the role perfectly. I was polite, respectful, and ambitious. By the time he offered me a beer and we started talking about sports, I knew I had passed. I was part of the family picture.

That summer was a mix of heat and salt. We spent weekends at the beach. The ocean gave us cover. We would stand in the water, waist-deep, pretending to hug. But underwater, my hands were busy. I would slip my fingers inside her swimsuit, finding her warm against the cold Atlantic water. She couldn't make a noise without alerting the families nearby, so she would just bite her lip, her face flushing while I touched her. She had her revenge, though. She would grip me hard underwater until I was throbbing, leaving me to walk back to the towels awkwardly trying to hide an erection. 

By November, everything changed. I got my driving license and access to my parents' car—a red Seat Ibiza. I also started an IT course, which made our schedules tighter. We had to get creative. My single bed at home was an option when my father worked night shifts, but usually, the red Seat Ibiza became our hotel.

We had a regular spot at a desolate stretch where the river met the ocean. The car was cramped and usually cold, but the discomfort made it feel raw.

I learned how Clara worked. Sometimes, she wasn't in the mood—or she pretended not to be. I developed a tactic. I never argued with her; I just started touching. I would start kissing her, taking my time. I worshipped her breasts until her breathing changed. Then, my hand would slide down into her jeans. "I don't want to," she would whisper, even as her hips moved against my hand. I ignored the words and listened to the body. Within minutes, her panties would be soaked. That was the point of no return. The "nice girl" vanished, replaced by someone hungry.

She wasn't easy to finish. Making her cum took work, usually requiring a lot of manual stimulation during sex. But when she did, it felt like a victory. One night stands out. Just once, she let me finish in her mouth, and she swallowed. It was a rare moment of total submission that stayed in my head for a long time.

It was a good life. It was stable. The sex was satisfying, and she loved me. But beneath the surface, I felt trapped. Clara didn't really have her own world; she lived in mine. My friends became her friends. My interests became hers.

As I turned twenty, a quiet panic set in. I had the car, I had the girl, I had the blessing of the father. It felt like my life was already scripted. I looked at Clara and felt affection, but when I looked out the foggy windows of the Seat Ibiza, I felt hunger.

One flavor, no matter how sweet, wasn't going to be enough.
