Tonia didn’t have much strength, so it was more like she was holding him from behind and resting on his shoulder.  She held him close and warned, “If you do anything to me, I’ll bite you.”
He kissed her forcefully, and it ached.  He did it before she could bite him.  She then felt him pull her into the driver’s seat.
She didn’t know how he had done it, but he had picked her up and put her between his chest and the wheel.  She was on top of him.  They had been together for so long that they knew one other’s bodies like the backs of their palms.
Tonia instantly wanted to do something bad, so she rubbed herself against his groin and felt it make a tent in his trousers right away.
She laughed and tilted her head.  “Look at how shameless you are, Raph,” she remarked as she stared him in the eye.
He exhaled heavily and held her waist tightly, forcing her down onto him.  “Come on, you wanted to bite me, didn’t you? I’m waiting.”
Tonia remembered that her first time having s*x with Raph hadn’t gone the way it usually does.  It had happened after the party they had after taking their college entrance examinations.
She couldn’t handle her alcohol, so half a beer was enough to knock her out.  She had fallen asleep on the table and was mumbling nonsense.
The teacher knew that Raph and she were dating, so she called Raph over and told him to “take good care of her.”
Raph had walked slowly to get Tonia home.  She wasn’t fully out of it, but she remembered that the moon was bright that night.  There were flowers on both sides of the road that smelt good. When they mixed with Raph’s sweat, they smelt even better.
She held on to his wide back like a koala, swinging her legs to the beat of his footsteps.  “Raph…” she said softly. He walked slowly, as if he didn’t want to return home right now.  “Yeah?”
“It would be great if we could keep going like this.”
“I’d be dead from being tired.”
She laughed and poked him in the shoulder.  “Put me down if you think it’s too tiring. Believe it or not, a lot of guys will fight to carry me when I call them!”
Raph hauled her up higher on his back.  Tonia wasn’t feeling well because of the drinking, so this almost made her throw up.  “What are you up to?”
“How dare you make me angry to my face?”
“Humph!”
“Ton.”
“Yeah?”
“Do you hear me? I’m the only one who can carry you.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Okay.”
All of a sudden, Tonia seemed to come back to her senses.  “What if you want to carry another girl, then?”
“You can treat me however you want.”
She smiled and bit his neck.  “I’ll kill you with my teeth!”
Raph was particularly sensitive in his neck.  Tonia would sometimes blow on it to make fun of him.  Then, he would give up right away.
This time, she wanted to do it again.  Raph didn’t beg her for compassion like he usually does.  He placed her down instead.  Tonia stared at him with sleepy eyes.  “What’s going on?”
“Ton…” His voice had a tinge of restrained seduction.  “Come and bite me.”
Tonia and Raph had been together for 15 years, so they had a lot of memories together.  They were like water gushing out of the floodgates and like the air around them.
A simple sentence from their past was now a knife that pierced Tonia in the heart over and over again.
Raph kissed her like a crazy person, and it hurt.  He started at the corner of her lips, but she turned her head to get away from him.  So he went down and bit her thin neck.
Tonia tried to rush away, but the wheel was behind her and Raph was holding her waist tightly.  She could only lift herself up by putting her hands on his shoulders.
But the ceiling of the car was only that high.  She paused when her head hit it, and it made her press her chest closer to his face.
Tonia despised how she felt and hit Raph while crying.  “Raph, go to Ayra if you want to f**k. Why are you biting me?”
She didn’t seem to hear him.  Or maybe he was so upset that he couldn’t contain himself.  He shook as he hugged her.
They hadn’t slept together since Raph started cheating on her.  They hadn’t had intercourse with each other in more than three years.
He was so excited that it was nearly crazy.  It was if they had been taken back to the quiet, secluded lane they had gone down after the class party.
Pain rushed through Tonia, starting in her chest.  The feeling made her jump.
Out of nowhere, Raph halted.  “Who is he?”
She looked down and saw the hickey on her left b****t.  Last night, Sammy put it there.
Tonia smiled and looked down at Raph with a smug look on her face.  “Don’t ask. It’s better for you.”
“Did you really sleep with another man last night?”
“Yes!” Tonia chuckled and continued, “He’s better than you.”
Raph stopped talking.
Tonia’s voice got louder as she said, “Raph, you know, you’ve never made me have an o****m in all these years we’ve been together. But he did, all night long.”
“Raph, you’re useless. If I’d known how much more the world has to offer, I would have tried it sooner instead of settling on you. If I hadn’t slept with another man, I wouldn’t have known that there’s someone better out there.”
“Have you ever made Ayra come?” Tonia asked. “I bet she faked it too. My sister and I are both pretty good actresses.”
Raph couldn’t say anything as Tonia carefully undid her top and showed him the hickey on her body.  “It’s not just my chest. It’s here, here, and here…”
She pointed between her legs.  “Over there, too. Want to look?”
All of a sudden, the automobile horn blared, loud and sharp.
Raph pushed down hard, not caring whether anybody saw him.  He hung on to it for a long time and wouldn’t let go.  He didn’t even pay attention when somebody knocked on the window and tapped the hood.
