Part 2

|Future Wifey: If you can find out where Iâm at in the next hour this pussy is yours again daddy đ
Terry sprung up from his couch and headed out his door, he had no time to waste and he had a lesson to teach. There was no telling where she was at the moment but Terry had a few places in mind he would look, Hide and go seek for pussy huh? She just knew he would come running, and here he was scrambling his brain like eggs neurons firing off with thought after thought of where to search first.
Her voice stuck inside his head like the call of a siren to a lonely pirate.The black ski mask and leather gloves inside his glove compartment would finally see the light of day again. Terry was flying around the city desperate to leave no stone unturned. The park,the grocery story, the bar, her favorite spa place. All places left him no closer to Khia than he was when he first left home and it was nearing nightfall. An annoyed growl left his lips as he slapped his steering wheel, he was frustrated and starting to feel anxious. His left eye began to twitch and his palms rubbed constantly on his black jeans trying to calm his bouncing leg. He already owed her one for blocking him, and now she was making it worse for herself not being easily accessible to him.
His phone vibrated in his console and he snatched it up to see a new text from her. She was taunting him.
|Future Wifey: Did you give up on me daddy? I donât see you anywhere.
A picture attached to the text message made him lean up in his seat. A sliver of her face shown in a failed attempt at hiding her background from him. At first nothing about the tiny view of her surroundings looked familiar, until he noticed the orange neon sign in the background. Sensual, a popular lingerie store located in the mall, he now had her location and it was time for the real games to start.
By the time he had reached the parking lot of the mall the sun and moon had exchanged places in the sky, and only a bold white moon lit up the night. Ski mask rolled up on his forehead and leather gloves on he started the trek into the mall. She could be anywhere in there now. His all black attire had him gliding through thick crowds of people, like a scene straight out of Halloween he glided slowly through the mall. His eyes sliding slowly left to right surveying his surroundings carefully. He just needed one flash of her.
He rode the escalator up to the second floor of the mall and found the lingerie store, he had to check inside it first to be sure.
âHi, welcome to Sensual. Is there anything I can assist you with today?â A chirpy voice greeted him from behind the counter and he glanced at the tall brunette.
âGood eveningâŚI was looking for my wife. She was just here but I seemed to have lost her.â He pulled out his phone and showed the woman the photo Khia had just sent him.
âOh yess I remember her, she bought a few items but left shortly after⌠she said she had an Uber to catch.â She drifted off the last few words as she glanced at the leather gloves on his hand, eyebrows scrunched with worry. Noticing her change in demeanor immediately, he knew it was time to cut the convo short.
âOk thank you, have a good night.â He turned on his heels and headed for the escalators. He had to get back to the front of the mall asap and now he knew she didn't drive her own car there he needed to be quick on his feet. He was itching to touch and squeeze flesh..her flesh.
Reaching the entrance of the mall outside he finally saw her, and that was almost enough to make him nut just from relief alone. She stood waiting with her shopping bag faced away from him, mindlessly tugging on the necklace around her neck . The grey sweats and jacket hung off her in an oversized fashion and he couldnât wait to tear them from her. Dark natural curls blowing slightly in the wind made her this picturesque beauty and he knew he couldnât wait any longer to bring her home.
Gloves tight on his hands and ski mask pulled down, he approached the dark shaded area she stood in. It was perfect cover and no one would notice him dressed to the nines in full out burglar gear. Slow quiet paces made him invisible to her, and when he finally stood behind her he slid a hand over her mouth and wrapped his other arm around her waist. Anchoring her to him with nowhere to run. A gasp and a small scream exited her mouth as she thrashed around in his hold trying to get a look at the creep that had his hands on her.
âStop all that screaming shit, save it for later. Now walkâŚand donât try no funny shit. I won your little game fair and square.â When he finally let her go he saw her eyes were slightly damp and reached out to wipe them.
âAww I scared you baby?⌠good donât have me out here looking for your ass. Iâm sad too but Iâm not crying.â
He watched her scrunch up her face and roll her eyes. âIâm not crying, and I definitely wasnât scared.â He didn't buy her little act, he knew a genuinely stunned face when he saw one.
âMm yeah yeah, now walk. You know what I drive.â With a nudge he pushed her into the parking lot, taking her bag from her hands to carry it and toss in his truck.
__
The drive was silent and Khia had no idea where he was taking her. A slight downpour had covered the truck on their drive and the sounds of the windshield wipers against the glass was the only sound available. Terry was eerily quiet. She expected him to gloat and nag her but he was just silent, an unnerving silence.
âAre you gonna take off that mask?â The ski mask was still pulled over his face and she was getting hot from it.
His head glanced her way then back at the road before he answered her. âWhy you scared..?â
âNo, and where are we going, your apartment is in the city. Weâre on the outskirts of town?â He put a finger to his lips signaling for her to shush and cut on his radio. She sat back in her seat and huffed loudly, maybe she shouldâve just stayed her ass home and kept him blocked.
âYou good⌠you got something you wanna share? Sit tight and chill out we almost there.â
âI donât wanna chill out, I wanna know where weâre going, all this blowing up my phone and stalking me for nothingâŚI never should have texted you back.â She sat in the passenger seat face frowned up from pure impatience. He was annoying her and she wasnât holding her tongue.
âOh you just a mouthy little brat tonight ainât youâŚif I tell you to close your mouth again trust me you wonât like what comes next.â A big hand laid on her thigh in warning and she finally sat back and stayed quiet.
Terry made a sharp left turn onto a rural back road. It was dark and the only thing she could see was miles and miles of field. She sat up in her seat trying to gauge where she was but nothing looked familiar and sheâd never been this far out of the city, she had no reason to come way out here. He made another left turn and this street sign she caught a glimpse of. Stone Hill road? Was he being serious right now?
The eerie dark road had been the chosen spot for a link of murders. Each body made its way to Stone Hill road and was disposed of, only to be discovered months after theyâd been killed and buried. The person was never caught but everyone knew to steer clear of the road. Yet Terry had just pulled to the side of the road, parked and turned off his truck.
âTerry, why are we here?â
He threw her a squinted look before answering. âWhy do you think we here?â
âHaha very sarcastic, but did you pick THIS road specificallyâŚdonât you know what happened here?â
âYeah I know, thatâs why itâs perfect. It fits the occasionâŚlil bit of serial killer dick never hurt nobody.â He mumbled the last part more so to himself but Khia swore she caught the tail end of it.
âWhat?⌠Terry what did you say?â
âI said a lil bit of scary dick never hurt nobodyâŚwhat did you think i said?â His green eyes peered into hers in the dark cabin of his truck.
âI-I donât know..just forget it. I think Iâm just tired.â She gave him a small nervous smile and pushed a curl behind her ear.
He snatched her up by her jacket and pulled her in close, pressing his soft plump lips to her ear. âDonât question me again, Iâm in charge..you know that.â
Her chest rose and fell quickly. She was more and more turned on as the seconds flew by and her clothes began to feel completely uncomfortable on her hot skin.
He needed her in the worst ways right now. And more importantly he needed her out of those clothes and on his dick. He pulled off his ski mask and leather gloves and placed them in the armrest, long fingers reaching over and stroking her thick thigh.
âDig in your panties and let daddy smell that pussy⌠mm mm donât act shy now, do it.â He watched her breathe shakily as she slid the sweatpants past her ass and slid her hand into her pink panties, fingers moving slowly in her panties gathering her juices on her fingers. She lifted her fingers from her panties and put her index and middle finger under his nose.
He gripped her wrist and inhaled her sweet scent, nothing in his life smelled better than it. A smell so intoxicating and raw it made his most primal thoughts and feelings rise to the forefront. He wanted to own her and fill her head with his own thoughts, but she had to be somewhat willing. The tangy taste of her juices made his taste buds tingle and mouth fill up with water. Pussy definitely made the world go round and there was no denying that fact.
âCome sit on daddyâs lap, let me feel you.â He patted his thighs and used the automatic button next to his seat and pushed back along with reclining it a bit for more space. She kicked her shoes and sweats off and crossed the console to sit on his lap letting him pull off her jacket and t-shirt. He came out of his black denim jacket and tossed it on the dashboard along with her clothing, his urge to feel her made him feel like heâd absorb her into his skin. He gazed into her damp brown eyes as he rotated her hips in a circle on his bulge, his pants slowly finding their place down his ankles.
Their breathing picked up and they grinded against one another at a quicker pace. Her bare chest on his clothed one as he pulled her closer into him, his hips lifting up to meet her soaked center every time, loud grunts and growls jumping from his mouth. The dry humping had them drunk on lust. Mouths sliding hungrily against each other's faces in a rush to assert dominance over the other. His low moans had her pussy clenching around nothing in her panties and she was sure she would combust from the feeling beneath her. She slowed her hips and looped her fingers around the hem of her panties and threw them aside. She needed him badly.
âBaby I need you to touch me pleaseâŚlook how wet I am for you. Put your fingers inside me, make me cum.â She leaned back against the steering wheel to give him a view of the mess she was making in his lap, and watched him drag a lone finger down her slit before he slowly pushed into her.
âTj you make me crazy⌠I thought about you everyday I had you blocked.â He let his finger speed up slowly adding a second and pushing in until only his knuckles showed.
âThatâs because Iâm daddy, and I told you that. You gonna block me again mama?â
âNo Noo I promise, Iâll never do it again daddy..thatâs my dick.â
She threw her head back and bounced slowly on his fingers. Her pussy had his lap wet with her arousal and his wrist was working overtime between giving her good penetration and clitoral stimulation.
âWhat you gonna do for this dick tho baby, tell daddy what you willing to do for it.â She leaned forward into him nuzzling her lips against his ears, sucking his earlobe into her mouth.
âIâll catch a charge behind this dick, itâs mine and nobody elseâs. Iâll beat you and any bitch that doesnât get that.â Terry let his Hand come down on her ass cheek hard, and quickly pulled his shirt from his body.
Her tongue slithered across his chest and to his neck.
âOh yeah, you fighting about this dick?..you gonna fight daddy in the backseat and ainât no running back there.â
__
Terry's hand wrapped around Khiaâs throat as he drove his hips into hers. He had her folded up in the backseat of his truck feeding her inch after inch of hard dick. She had nowhere to run.
âDaddy itâs in my stomachâŚmm fuckkk please just cum already I-ahh.â
Terry pressed his hand onto her belly watching his bulge form behind her skin in and out. âThat's where Iâm supposed to be..right mama. Mhmh fucking this pussy, my pussy!â
âTj my pussyâŚmy pussy is yours, and that dick is mine.â She reached between them and held onto his dick as he sped up splashing her cream onto his seats. Heâd get it detailed sometime soon to cleanse his truck of their sex.
The windows in the truck held a slight fog as the temperature inside it kept rising. Body temperatures collectively turning their fuck session into a homemade sauna. He glanced down at Khia watching her whimper, a glazed film over her eyes as her breathing slowed. He took his hand from around her neck to slap her cheek lightly.
âYou better breathe.. I canât believe this dick got you about to pass out!â She breathed in a large gust of air and reached forward to pull him into her body.
âBecause youâre fucking me daddy, you fuck me so well.â The helpless look on her face mixed in with the sentiment had him exploding internally, if she said one more thing like that he wouldnât last any longer.
âFuck..fuck say it again. Tell daddy what heâs doing to this sweet pussy.â Praise was one of his kinks and she was playing right into it. His head dropped to her chest to suck on a plump nipple and his hips rolled slowly trying to hold back his release.
âTj you're such a good boyâŚyou found me and brought me back with you..you did so good. And now I feel it coming, you about to nut daddy..please cum Tj.â Her honeyed tone weakened him and had him sucking breaths in quickly to make himself sane in the moment. But her pussy was constricting him. Her tight hot walls suctioning him in further resembling a racing heartbeat. He had to fight against it and pull out hot slimy coats of white jizz covering her belly and breast.
She dozed off quickly after he sat her back in his passenger seat. Spent body curled against the door using his jacket as a blanket. Terry was fatigued but pushed back towards the city to his apartment, they needed a hot shower and food. He woke her up and grabbed her stuff from his backseat, swiping his keycard to get into his building. She trudged behind him, yawning and stretching as they made it inside his apartment. Clothes stripped off again for the second time that night. The two stepped into the spacious shower together. She slid her hands around his waist locking her fingers as she held her head against his chest. A thudding heartbeat echoing in her ear. Warm shower water pouring onto them in gentle pulses.
âYou ok mama..whatâs on your mind?â
âYou are, I loved tonight, and I love your body. Youâre like an Adonis.â He felt the feather-like touches slithering all over his back and meeting together in the front to explore his large biceps and toned abdominal muscles.
âMm thank you my baby I try, but have you seen you, you stacked lil mama. Really ainât ever seen anything like it⌠thatâs why I canât let you out my sight.â They continued exchanging compliments and exchanged kisses as they washed each other's body from head to toe.
Freshly washed and moisturized, they chatted in his kitchen. Khia sat swiveling left to right on his bar chairs, body covered in a red and white polka dot slip watching Terryâs naked back as he cooked up a mini brunch for them. He placed a few crispy edge pancakes on a plate for her along with a fried egg and breakfast sausage. She drowned everything in syrup and sipped on her cold glass of orange juice tucking into the sweet and savory late night brunch. Conversation drifted onto the two of them discussing being hit on in the workplace and Terry let his resolve slip once more.
âSo what would you do if you saw me flirting with another man, itâs just a little flirting canât be that bad right?â He watched a sneaky smirk form on her face and enlightened her with a matching one.
âIâd kill himâŚsimple, just to make sure you get the memo that is. You want his life taken from him, then go ahead and play in my face.â She laughed loudly and waved him off, hand in front of her mouth just cracking up at him.
âTerry you canât say stuff like that, thatâs crazy.â Hadnât she caught on yet? Thatâs exactly what he was.
âOf course I can, and I can mean it too.â He stuffed the last piece of egg into his mouth before moving to wash out his plate.
âYou would kill for me Tj?â Her voice came out low and sultry and he whipped around to stare at her, dark brown eyes low but expressive.
âFuck of course you would⌠youâd do anything I asked you, right daddy?â She continued speaking to him in that tone, breaking him down further and placing her in the driver seat of his body. She leaned onto the island titties jiggling from the low cut of her slip.
âGood boys get all the pussy in the world when they listenâŚare you a good boy Tj?â Terry was under her spell lock and key. He shook his head quickly, he was a good boy and he would do anything she asked.
âYes Iâm a good boy mamasâŚhavenât I shown you that though?â He rounded the island to stare down at her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. She pulled him down to her face by his ears, gripping and rubbing them. She placed chaste kisses behind his ear lobe.
âYes you have baby but I want more, can you do something else for meâŚso I know itâs real? Can you do this one thing to solidify usâŚmake us one?â
âYes yes anything, name it now.. you got it I swearâŚI want us to be one. Tell me what I have to do to earn you?â She sucked a hickey onto his neck, a warm hand down his grey sweats stroking the head of his dick softly as he breathed harshly in her ear. Terry was putty in her hand, his brain on autopilot as he turned into a living breathing ventriloquist dummy right before his own eyes. Worshipping wasnât enough for him, she was goddess-like. She could snap her fingers and like a dog he would do what she said when she said it.
âCan you make someone disappear for meâŚI want you to be the last person he lays eyes on before you take his life, plus you're a beautiful sight who wouldnât wanna die to your face daddy.â
Terry fell apart from that alone, spongy tip and her hand covered in webs of cum. She played with it some more on her hand before she stuffed the sticky fingers into her mouth. Making a scene of the milky white slime sticking to her lips. He gripped her chin and sucked her tongue into his mouth, he didnât give one fuck about her having a mouth full of his nut.
âCount him as dead already, give me his address and workplace..let me prove how badly I want and need you.â

First
Summary: Terry and Patrice take their relationship to the next level.
Pairing: Terry Richmond x Black!OC (Patrice Ellis)
Word Count: 6.2k
Warnings: Smut (18+)
For a breezy September Friday off the coast of an island, Patrice was dealing with a heat that was too sweltering to ignore.Â
Initially, she assumed the sudden increase in her body temperature was the natural result of driving from the comforts of North Carolina to the muggy, humid haven the United States Marine Corps called Parris Island. It wasn't much of an island, according to Terry, as he talked a mile a minute during their Family Day gathering while she tried to focus on stabbing blanched green beans with her fork and not how his bottom lip glistened from water droplets reflecting the sunlight streaming through the window. But that didn't make much sense. Diedra spent the entire dinner complaining about the steady blast of frigid air blowing through the AC vent and how it was aggravating a shoulder injury sustained in a tennis match from her high school years.Â
The next day, while dressed in their Sunday's best on Friday morning, Patrice tried to blame the constant waves of internal heat on a relentless South Carolina sun illuminating young men and women from every corner of the world as they transitioned from American civilians to the few and proud fighting force they'd been auditioning to join for 13 grueling weeks. While Terry received praise from his proud parents and excitable twin sisters, Patrice could feel sweat sliding down the valley between her shoulder blades. Her mind slowed to a creep with only thoughts of how good Terry looked in uniform. Starched blue pants highlighting long, muscled legs more typical of a Greek god provided a straight shot to a waist so cinched, Wilhelmina models would stare daggers and drop their jaws in envy and awe.Â
A hug encapsulating 91 days of missed time and an hour-long ride back to their Hilton Head accommodation for the weekend cooled Patrice temporarily, nearly tricking her into believing her hypothesis was correct. Then Terry touched her too close to the part of her that hadn't quite met him yet.Â
In the last row of his family's rented minivan, with twin ten year old's in minute ten of an argument about nothing important, mentally exhausted parents trying to play referee, and Terry's hand innocently resting on her leg while he scrolled through the playlist of missed releases she'd compiled for him on her iPod, Patrice's brain drifted back to lessons learned in Napheesa and Victoria's dorm room.Â
Once Patrice's nails were painted Bubble Bath pink and nether regions were free from a near nightmare at the hands of Patrice and a bottle of Nair bikini cream, a crash course in fucking became little more than a glorified rehashing of sex education courses and giggling through dirty movies on Phee's laptop as a group. Patrice took what little valuable information existed in their makeshift classroom and tried to turn them into instructional videos in her mind. For research purposes, of course.
Vivid images of Terry on top, beneath, and behind her body completely overtook Patrice's brain, sending her body back into a sauna with her as the lone inhabitant. Patrice's heartbeat had gone south, creating an uncomfortable ache between her thighs that forced her ankles to cross in hopes of release. She squirmed in her seat and let her lips part to draw in a shaky breath. The world around her fell away. Thoughts of kissing, biting, and touching replaced tangible sights and sounds. She'd slipped into that special place in her dreams where fantasies were damn near reality.Â
"You good, Treecey? Terry's voice alone slammed Patrice into the present and flushed her body with unbearable heat. She blinked twice and looked to her right to find her boyfriend looking at her. "I was talkin', and you didn't say anything. You alright? Need me to shut up for a second?"Â
Patrice tried to quell Terry's bubbling anxiety by forcing a smile as she subtly threaded her fingers between his to give her senses a break. "I-I'm fine. I'm just thinking about how happy I am to have you back. Congratulations, TJ. I love you."Â
"I love you more," He spoke against the back of Patrice's hand before gracing it with a kiss. "This B.o.B song sucks, by the way. Who the fuck is Bruno Mars?"Â
"Ooooh! Mama, Terrence said a cuss word!"
The hotel room she shared with Zorah and Zanah provided temporary respite, shielding her from the sweltering heat of the backseat and replacing it with the heat of overstimulation. Twin girls fascinated by long box braids tugged at tender roots to practice their plaiting skills while a heavy, shaved head compressed vital nerves in her thigh. Terry had long allowed his first solo shower in months and a comfortable couch to lull him into a deep sleep, leaving Patrice to entertain her talkative inherited sisters until Deidra and Marvin stepped in to put her out of her misery.Â
When she offered to end Terry's slumber prematurely, Dee politely waved her off.Â
"No, no," Diedra conceded, still looking at her baby boy's chest rise and fall peacefully. A half smile graced her face as she shifted her focus to Patrice. "When he wakes up, give us a call. Marvin will come back and get you two. We'll have lunch near the pier."Â
"I will?"Â
Dee turned to her husband and lowered her glasses to reveal the fire dancing behind her expressive eyes. "Marvin James, don't make me get ugly. If my baby wakes up and wants to get to the beach, he'll get to that beach!"
Patrice couldn't believe her stroke of luck. She'd hoped and prayed for a sliver of alone time in the hours-long trip down South but never imagined it'd be presented to her on a platter without begging on her hands and knees.Â
A resting boyfriend and unlimited access to the television should have been enough to keep Patrice occupied until hunger gnawed at her stomach. But logic left with the rest of the Richmonds to enjoy the sun and sand, leaving Patrice with an overactive mind and that pesky heat spreading from a pit deep inside her belly to the meeting at her thighs.Â
She tried to ignore what she now knew as desire creeping in to act as the devil on her shoulder, reminding her of the opportunity literally resting in her lap. There were other entertainment options â other ways to pass the time until Terry had refueled his energy reserve and released her from her duty as a human mattress. Patrice gave them all a whirl. Text messages to Napheese and Victoria went unanswered. Random Google searches quickly ran their course. SpongeBob was never as funny as Junior tried to convince her, and a missing remote removed the option to seek another show to pass the time.Â
A look down gave her another avenue to explore. Terry's eyes danced behind closed lids while his mouth hung open to sing a little tune of exhaustion. He looked so peaceful. Too peaceful. Boredom convinced Patrice to trail her index finger down the peak of his cheekbones, to the tip of his nose, and across his bottom lip. Her exploration briefly stirred Terry out of his sleep.Â
"Stop, Z. Leave my face alone before I tell Mom," Terry grunted, chastising a ghost as he fanned a hand in front of his face.Â
Patrice giggled. "There's nobody in here but us, TJ. They left us behind because you won't wake up."
"Well, you stop. Give me a few more minutes." Terry never opened an eye to acknowledge the frown on Patrice's face, instead choosing to turn onto his back and drape his legs over the arm of the couch.Â
"You know there's beds in here, right? Why cram yourself on this small ass couch when you can sleep in one of them?"Â
Terry shook his head to dismiss Patrice's comment. "I like sleepin' on you, though. Let me have a little longer, and we can go to the pool or something. Swear, baby."
Enlisting his secret weapon seemed to appease Patrice momentarily, judging by her sweet kiss on his forehead. He popped open an eye and found his reward in her beautiful face and grin.Â
"Promise," Patrice questioned, her eyes glittering and hopeful as she gazed down at Terry. "I really want to spend time with you. There's something I think we should talk about."Â
"Promise. We can talk about whatever you want in 10 minutes. Set an alarm and everything."Â
Pressing up on his elbows, Terry sealed his confirmation with a soft peck to Patrice's lips before settling back into her lap. She took the kiss as a sacred covenant and allowed Terry to return to sleep without protest, hoping the twenty minutes would fly by like 20 seconds. In many ways, time obeyed her command for speed. Patrice barely registered the clock ticking away as she studied missed class notes shared in her American Government group chat. But, then, 10 minutes turned into 20 despite the alarm's trill ringing throughout the room, effectively demoralizing a young woman feeling a golden opportunity slip through her fingers.
Silence and the feel of thighs on his cheeks introduced Terry to a false sense of security that came crashing to a halt once Patrice lifted his head from her lap and carefully lowered it to the couch cushions to maintain his neck's integrity. Terry's eyes shot open in time to see Patrice searching for her flip-flops and beach bag. He rushed to his feet.Â
"Woah, woah," Terry rasped, still trying to find his voice in a throat dry from deep sleep. Long strides helped him catch her before she could dash toward the door. "Where you going? I thought we were hanging out."Â
Patrice shrugged. "It's okay. We can wait until tomorrow. I didn't realize how tired you'd be afterward, so my bad. Want some food from downstairs?"Â
"No," Terry scoffed as if offended by the notion that he might want sustenance. "I want you to stay with me. Come here."Â
A face once contorted into a despondent frown quickly morphed into one filled with immeasurable joy as Terry walked Patrice back toward the bedroom with his lips attached to her jawline. Half-hearted calls for him to stop tickling the base of her neck with his tongue went ignored, turning her into a giggling mess, excited for the affection she'd been craving.Â
Blind steps and eager snogging held their undivided attention, leaving size 13.5 feet to fumble through a maze of small suitcases and discarded backpacks until the bed designated for Patrice provided a soft landing spot for two crazy kids slowly falling in love.Â
Shared laughter mixed harmoniously once they hit the sheets with a dull thud. Patrice welcomed Terry's weight with her wrists crossed at the nape of his neck. He happily obliged her unspoken request, pressing his torso on the body he'd committed to learning every curve and contour. Simple, chaste kisses reacquainted their lips, each peck lasting longer than the one before.Â
Patrice reveled in the attention, arching into Terry's embrace and giggling once he covered her face in intentionally messy love letters.Â
"You so fuckin' cute," Terry mumbled against Patrice's cheek, punctuating each word with a kiss. He pulled away to tap her nose and grin. "Even prettier in person. My dreams weren't worth a damn. Motherfuckers had my brain scrambled from day one," he laughed.
"Drill sergeants were on your ass that bad?"Â
"Hell yeah! I should've took my ass to school. Fuck football," Terry laughed.
In 13 weeks, the memories he'd conjured of her appearance day in and day out had missed so many wonderful details. He'd forgotten the beauty mark on her right cheek and how her ears wiggled when she spoke. He'd somehow forgotten how her eyes glittered in the sun and how her smell often entered the room before she did. That unique mix of sweet strawberry and the fairy dust naturally gifted to Black women awakened him like no drill sergeant ever could. Patrice was back in the flesh, tracing aimless patterns on his skin and absorbing warm sun rays like a goddess made exclusively for him.Â
"You said you wanted to talk. What's up?" The question barely left Terry's lips before his nose was back against the crook of Patrice's neck while he focused on French kissing her collarbone.Â
A rush of heat consumed every spot his mouth touched, turning thoughts into useless sludge milling about Patrice's brainwaves. She opened her mouth to speak plenty of times as Terry's fingers danced across her belly beneath her tank top in search of her bathing suit top.Â
Patrice's breath hitched once Terry found his treasure, kneading the soft mound of her left breast before rolling the nipple between his thumb and index finger. In their short sports of exploration, he'd become something of a master of touch. He'd learned when to graze his fingertips over her supple skin gently and when to grip or squeeze his favorite spots to elicit the quiet, heart-flipping whimper he'd seared into the ridges of his developing brain.
Any words she'd intended to share became a low moan as Terry turned all his attention to grinding his front against hers to meet the demand she'd silently set by doing the same. Thin blends of nylon and polyester covering their most intimate bits absorbed frantic friction as they drove each other crazy while fully clothed. Part of them braced for intrusion. On too many occasions, an interruption had robbed them of whatever existed on the other side of an unfamiliar coiling in the pit of their stomachs. Only Terry knew what might happen if they were ever allowed to carry out the full extent of their private experience. He'd felt the fruits of wrist labor once or twice when the house was empty and fantasizing wasn't enough for a young man entering a new phase of life.Â
Intrusion, however, never came. They were free. Free of distractions, free of fear, and free to approach a volcanic eruption together.Â
Strained sounds mixed with the cartoon theme song playing in the background as Terry built up a rhythm that creaked the bedframe. Patrice clutched the back of his Marine Corps t-shirt with both hands, her mouth opening to whisper "Oh my God" to the ceiling. Pressure corked inside her body bubbled to the surface. Her body tingled like some unseen force had gifted her superpowers. White hot flames warmed the blood pumping through her veins.Â
"Terry, IâŚ" Patrice started before the words became choked inside her throat. She took a deep breath and tried again. "I-I thinkâŚI think I'm ready to- to have sex."Â
The part of Terry's brain he'd flipped off to focus on a new kind of romantic expression suddenly lit up like Christmas lights. He pulled away from Patrice's neck to look into her eyes. "What?"Â
"I want to have sex. With you. IfâŚif you want to have sex with me. You can say no. I won't be mad."Â
Patrice's timid voice and shy eyes sent Terry's heartbeat into overdrive more than her admission. He gazed down at her and cleaned lip gloss from the corner of her lips with his thumb before answering. "Is that what you wanted to talk about?"Â
"Yeah," Patrice whispered as the evil grip of shame began to creep in.Â
"You sure you want to? Don't think you gotta -"Â
A manicured finger placed light pressure on his lips to stop more words from coming forth. "I'm sure, Terry. I've been thinking about this for a really long time. I know what I want, and I know I want it with you." Patrice moved her hand to hold the sides of Terry's face and bring him to her lips for another deep kiss. She spoke against his mouth. "Please. I only wanna do this with you."
She drove a hard bargain. With a face like that and words so sincere they felt more like scriptures than a request, how could Terry deny her? Terry swallowed hard and nodded his agreement. "Yeah, me too. Only with you."Â
Nerves gripped Terry in a spiral of fear as he led a fiery kiss to distract from the inevitable. He'd only mastered fondling and the mechanics of tongue hide and seek, not the assumed complexities of intercourse. Talks with his father, older cousins, and friends were only half the equation. The mechanics â the actual nitty-gritty application of the deed â were as foreign as Mandarin in his young mind. Logic told him to be honest about his novice status and save himself from embarrassment. Pride and ego told him to fake it until things made sense. He chose the latter voice as he left the familiarity of making out to stand in front of the first girl to ever get this close to seeing him naked.Â
Terry tried to feign confidence as he pulled his t-shirt over his head and let it fall to the floor beside his feet. Step one was easy enough. Patrice propped herself on her elbows to watch him disrobe, barely concealing the grin spreading across her lips as Terry hooked his thumbs at the waistband of his trunks and pulled them down.Â
Patrice didn't know what to expect. The only time she'd come into contact with anybody's genitalia but her own was via a screen when curiosity got the best of her and online websites answered questions she wouldn't dare ask aloud. She'd seen photos and diagrams galore, but none of her research could prepare her for seeing Terry naked as the day he came into the world.Â
Her eyes traveled down his torso, made a pitstop at the part of him standing at attention, then back up to his shifty eyes to smile in appreciation for his trust. "Wow."Â
"Don't make it weird, Patrice," Terry groaned. "It's already sort of embarrassing."Â
"I'm sorry! I justâŚmay IâŚtouch you?"
Terry could only blink and nod to grant Patrice permission. His muscles, still sore from the 50+ hours of his training's culminating event, tensed as she stood to examine his body closer. Patrice started at Terry's chest, dragging her digits across the expanse of his broad shoulders before traveling below the navel.Â
When her fingers teased the point of no return, Terry's eyelids fluttered closed as he let out a sharp breath. "Fuck." The harshness of his expletive became washed away by the gentle kiss on his jawline and the delicate care Patrice put into exploring new depths.Â
She withdrew just as quickly as she'd made her presence known, leaving Terry aching for her touch again. Patrice stepped back and chewed her bottom lip before speaking. "I guess it's my turn."Â
"Want me to look away?"Â
"No," Patrice answered. "I'm okay. You let me look, so it's only fair."Â
Terry stood awkwardly in place, watching with rapt focus as Patrice rapidly discarded her tank top and cut-off shorts. He fought to keep his eyes inside their socket once a quick tug at the string on her bikini loosened the garment enough to slide off her neck and pool where her arms crossed in front of her chest.Â
For a moment, Patrice regretted telling Terry not to look away. He seemed to sense her trepidation and quickly softened his gaze. He didn't need words to convince Patrice to commit to what she'd started. With a deep breath, she moved her arms and let the swimsuit top drop to the floor.Â
It was Terry's turn to voice his surprise. "Woah," he whispered, eyes locked on what he'd never seen up close. He quickly looked back up with a boyish grin to save face. "This is crazy."Â
"I know, right?" Patrice giggled. Laughter helped lighten the mood, making the final stage of her exhibition the easiest. She stepped out of her bottoms and shrugged. "This is it," she joked. "The big reveal."Â
"It's perfect. You're beautiful," Terry offered without hesitation.Â
Patrice diverted her attention to her toes to hide her bashful smile. "Thank you."
"Of course." Terry slid his index finger under her chin and directed Patrice's eyes back to his. He leaned down to initiate a head-spinning, slow kiss. Pulling away left both teenagers breathless. Terry pressed his forehead against Patrice's and smiled. "Can I try something?"Â
A bevy of outside influences and genuine curiosity led Terry's next steps. He guided Patrice to sit on the bed before he knelt at her feet. His lips started a slow journey at her left knee, kissing his way to her inner thigh like they had the luxury of time on their side.Â
Patrice watched him under heavy eyelids as she ran her short fingernails across the top of his shaved head. Every lick and suckle against flesh untouched by another added to a feeling of weightlessness she wasn't warned about by her friends. Had they never felt this way? Was it new or wrong or only delivered to two people so energetically aligned their spirits transcended the physical plane of existence? Patrice pushed discovering an answer to the back of her mind once a lick at her navel brought her attention to the hazel and green eyes slowly descending to the apex of her thighs. He inhaled deeply before dropping a kiss where the fire burned the hottest.Â
Terry had no clue what he was attempting. He only knew the carnal temptation calling him forth and chose to follow what his mind and body desired most. Teammates, family, and friends had warned him about what a taste of nectar might offer. Some asserted they were too macho to enjoy a woman that way, complaining about masculinity mumbo jumbo he only sort of believed. Others mentioned peculiar tastes and smells as deterrents, imploring him to keep the fun strictly body to body. Terry often pretended to agree but could no longer ignore curiosity or the cat.Â
Hesitant licks around the area quickly introduced a young man full of questions to a world of confirmation he never knew existed. Whatever those other guys were talking about was bullshit. If they'd been in love, Terry thought, maybe they'd have thought twice before spewing nonsense into the world.Â
Though Heaven and Earth were permanently altered for Terry, Patrice allowed her smile to drop into a grimace as she fought to understand what her body was feeling. Pain wasn't the correct descriptor. Every wet revolution of his tongue in unchartered waters felt silly at best. Quick shocks of pleasure crumbled into long spells of nothing but strange kitten licks, leaving Patrice to wonder if all she'd heard about the deed was a lie.Â
"Oh, that'sâŚalright," Patrice spoke through a breathy sigh as Terry briefly created a tingle in her toes but missed the mark on a second attempt. She attempted to wiggle her lower half into place, hoping her gesture would guide a young man trying his best to more favorable results.Â
Hooking his hands around her thighs, Terry pulled Patrice closer and took a beat to speak. "Does that feel good?"Â
"Um, yeah," she lied, half smiling, hoping he couldn't see through her facade. Quick thinking helped Patrice change the subject. "I want you up here with me, though."Â
Terry's worry about his performance consumed him before Patrice pulled his face to hers and reignited flames almost snuffed out by fear. Their tongues danced together as skin-on-skin contact sent shivers down their young spines.Â
Oxytocin flooded their systems equally, turning juvenile feelings into robust, full-grown bonds. Connections forged during intimacy too mature for their young minds to comprehend clung to them like quicksand, slowly clouding their judgment as Terry positioned himself between Patrice's legs.Â
From Terry's vantage point, Patrice was a vision. With her dark braids spread wildly against a stark white pillowcase, he thought she was the prettiest girl he'd ever seen. His calloused fingers traced the perimeter of her face, slid down her graceful neck, and trailed her shoulder on the way to her forearm.
He smiled while adjusting her arms around his neck. "You nervous?"Â
"A little," she answered, her voice growing small as she stared back at him. "You?"Â
"A little," he chuckled.Â
Patrice lifted her head to press a kiss to his lips. "You don't have to be scared of me. Let's just try."Â
Their entire lives, trying meant final efforts. They'd never attempted anything. Expectations of perfection weighed on them as firstborns tasked with validating parental sacrifices and making entire lineages proud. Patrice wasn't allowed to simply try her best in school. Being top of her class was the demand, and she rose to the occasion despite an often fragile mental state teetering on collapse. Terry could try on the football field. Glory, respect, and champion status were requirements. When he didn't reach the goals set for him before he had any input, he was shipped to a government-sponsored finishing school to earn his stripes a different way.Â
But in the relative safety of a mid-tier hotel room where no one but each other existed, they'd been permitted to give their best effort without fear of consequence. Terry felt his heart rate match Patrice's as the pulse in her wrist rested on the back of his neck. His eyes drifted toward the space where their hips met, hoping he wouldn't stumble out of the gate and ruin an otherwise perfect afternoon.Â
One hand gripping his manhood guided him forward while the other held her hip steady. First contact felt like instant warmth in a shallow, heated pool. An untamed fluttering made Terry contract his stomach muscles and sigh as the unknown answered questions he never knew existed inside his mind. Slow, measured movements came with a prayer Terry knew he shouldn't have let cross his mind. He asked for protection, confidence, precision andâ
"Shiiit."
Harsh curses pulled Terry out of his mental oasis to focus on Patrice and her face screwed in a mix of emotions. He stilled. "I can stop. I swear. I'm gonna stop."Â
Discomfort like she'd never known took Patrice by surprise, tensing a body once loose with excitement and forcing out an expletive she hadn't intended to share. As Terry scrambled to pull away, Patrice tightened her grip to stop progress.Â
"No," she exclaimed, not wanting the culmination of four years to end. Don't! I'm fine." She fought to even her breathing and display a calm exterior to quell Terry's apprehension. Turning her head, she kissed his inner arm three times and looked back into concerned eyes. "I'm okay. Go slow."Â
More reassurance, presented as encouragement to continue, slowly coaxed Terry back into action. He watched Patrice's face with acute focus, taking in every wince and furrowed brow, waiting for what looked like pain to level into something akin to the bliss one feels after their first lick of ice cream on a scorching Summer day.
An anxious back-and-forth of hips far too tight for the moment remained slow and steady until Patrice's soft grunts of discomfort turned into light, breathy requests for more. More of what, she didn't know. More of the love surrounding them. More of feeling like the only girl in the world. More of having their bodies fit together like the final puzzle pieces, creating a beautiful portrait for them to carry into forever.Â
Breaths shared in a rhythmic in and out that matched Terry's tempo helped them meld into one being, consumed by their carnal nature. For Terry, the shared energy felt ten times greater than graduating. He'd experienced the highest heights of satisfaction, but none compared to feeling Patrice envelop him in body and heart.Â
The notion of a kismet connection crossed Patrice's mind as her body relaxed into the deed, and pleasure rushed in like high tide. Their bodies growing slick from sweat cooling limbs running hot under the burden of exertion rivaled fine silk rubbing together in her mind. She'd imagined the scene unfolding before her eye more times than she cared to count. Nothing compared to the high of loving and being loved.Â
Moving his hand from her hip, Terry trailed his fingertips up the sheets to thread them between the gaps between Patrice's fingers. They locked eyes and giggled before separate, strong tremors turned joy into desire. He gently pecked her lips and nuzzled their noses.Â
"You good," Terry questioned through heavy breaths.
Patrice gripped his hand tighter and croaked out, "Mhmm," before coiling in her belly stole an opportunity to say more. "Keep goin'."
Connecting physically was a drug worth repeatedly trying to determine if every high would feel this perfect. Sheets jostled around them as Patrick and Spongebob's idiotic chatter became background fodder. Even the sun seemed to burn hotter in reverence of their first foray into lovemaking.
Terry's entire body seized in response to immense, min-numbing pleasure. His breathing went ragged. The grip on Patrice's hand tightened as he rocked himself into her with hips stuttering out of control.Â
Terry chanted a call to the heavens above while Patrice looked up in awe, snapping mental pictures of his uninhibited euphoria to take as a parting gift when the weekend and all its gifts were no more. Though her approach to the mountaintop was a less earth-shattering occasion, Patrice reveled in the tingles dancing across her body, and the barrage of kisses left on her neck and clavicle as Terry tried to regulate himself.Â
Silence welcomed two young lovers to reality once Terry's back hit the space beside Patrice. Once they locked eyes, mirrored bright smiles slid across their faces in sync, making way for genuine laughter to bounce off decorated walls.Â
"I guess that's it," Patrice surmised before presenting her palm for Terry to reciprocate a hi-five.Â
Terry returned the gesture and shrugged. "We can go again. Maybe try something else?"Â
"You know your mama is gonna come lookin' for us soon, right? She's probably on her way back to check on her Peanut right now," Patrice teased as she watched Terry scoot closer to her side and fondle both breasts to his heart's content.Â
"You're probably right," Terry murmured with his attention elsewhere.Â
"I'm always right. Don't forget it." Patrice's challenge earned a tickle attack on her rib cage before Terry used his strength to pull her body on top of his. Amorous feelings bubbled under the surface as quick kisses deepened into something sure to threaten their pact to end on a high note.Â
Pulling away, Terry brushed a braid behind Patrice's shoulder and grinned. "I love you, P. Mean it."Â
"I love you, too. Mean it."Â
Realization slowly set in while they allowed intense gazes to communicate words too heavy and unfamiliar to share so soon. They'd done it. After years of friendship and the courage to push the boundaries of what they could be, they'd reached the point of no return. The possibilities of tomorrow felt endless, exciting, and overwhelming. They welcomed the challenge hand in hand.
A final kiss sent Patrice into the bathroom with her pile of clothing to follow the article she'd taken a picture of to the letter and send discreet yet excited confirmation texts to the two girls eagerly awaiting updates. Terry sat alone in a messy hotel room, smiling like he'd been gifted season tickets for life, contemplating whether a proposal without a ring was appropriate for a girl as great as Patrice. He ultimately decided against his rash decision and resolved to calculate how much a measly Lance Corporal's salary could afford before shooting his father a text. There'd be other opportunities. If Terry was sure of nothing else, he'd hang his hat on their union without a second thought.
By Sunday afternoon, the weekend was but a soul-stirring memory. The awkward nature of a first time under their belts created a newfound confidence that prompted perceptive parents to frantically try and fail to confirm the details of what they were sure was a relationship-altering experience. The itch to try again had attached itself to fated lovers left to their own devices in a cramped dorm room on North Carolina A&T's campus.Â
Round two of Terry's deep sea dive proved more successful than the first. Patrice was suspended on a cloud while students in the hallway enjoyed their waning hours of freedom.Â
"Mmmm. Right there, right there," she begged in a harsh whisper meant to conceal the inner workings of her room from the public. Terry pulled away from his work to look up for confirmation, prompting her to push his head back into action. "No, no, no, no. Don't stop. I'm close."Â
Close to what, Patrice didn't know, but she needed to see the tightening in her abdomen to the finish line. Tears pricked her eyes as Terry lapped between her legs like a man with something to prove. Her body began to shiver. Her toes curled to the point of cramping. Colors danced behind her eyelids. This was what Victoria was talking about. This was the gold on the other side of the rainbow.Â
Patrice gasped for air and moaned a throaty "Oh shit," not caring who could hear. She'd waited too long for her turn. Nothing could knock her off her wave.Â
Except for the locked doorknob wiggling and her nice but overbearing roommate attempting to enter. Patrice whined and sat up to shoo Eni away. "Hey, girl, can you give me a few more minutes?"Â
"Not really," Eni responded, her voice muffled on the other side of the door. "I forgot my laptop charger, and I kind of need it to work in the common area."Â
"You can't wait a couple more minutes?"Â
Eni sighed. "I've waited fifteen. If I keep waiting, I'm gonna lose my spot on the good couch by the window. You know I love to look at the trees while I study. It's calming."Â
Terry quietly kissed back down Patrice's thighs before resting his chin on her knee to smile. "It's okay. Let her in. We can try another time."Â
"I wanna try today!" Patrice's whining and pouting earned a laugh from Terry as he helped her back into panties he'd planned to keep in his pocket.Â
"It'll be worth the wait," he assured once she was redressed and standing in front of him. He leaned down to kiss her nose before stepping back to adjust himself inside his jeans. "I'm a Marine now. I literally have to keep my word."Â
"I'm pretty sure this is not one of the situations they trained you in."Â
Their laughter prompted Eni to clear her throat and knock again. "No, seriously, Patrice. They're gonna take my seat and probably my laptop. Can I come in?"
Terry chuckled as Patrice groaned and trudged her way to the door. Both of them watched Eni's eyes grow wide once she saw her roommate's present distraction gathering his wallet and keys off Patrice's desk.Â
"I'm sorry," she mouthed when Terry turned his back, receiving an understanding shrug from Patrice.Â
"Eni, this is my boyfriend, Terrence. TJ, this is Eni."Â
Terry presented his fist for Eni to bump. "Nice to meet you. Hopefully, I'm not intruding."Â
"Intruding? What? No," Eni scoffed as if she hadn't spent the previous fifteen minutes locked out of her room. "It's me! I'm the intruder! You are just, um, you areâŚwow! Is it hot in here?"Â
Patrice rolled her eyes at Terry's growing smile and began pushing him out of the room. "Terrence is leaving now, so it should cool down. Say goodbye, Terry."Â
His farewell became lost in the rumble of voices filtering out of other rooms as she ushered him out of the building, away from prying eyes, and to his truck. Terry's hands found a home on Patrice's waist once they'd reached a safe distance from the residence hall He pulled her close to mumble against her neck.Â
"I'm home for eight more days and then Quanitco for school. Let's figure something out. I'll take you on a real date and everything."Â
He'd take her on the date. By Saturday night, Terry had planned that Patrice would have her last name changed by her college graduation. He only needed a loan from his parents and an opportunity to pop the question.
Patrice let his promise flow in one ear and out of the other as she cradled him closer and hummed her agreement. "I'll work on it."Â
"Don't work on it, Piggy. Make it happen." A cheeky smack on her backside dissolved Patrice into a giggling mess, and she playfully slapped his broad chest. When they settled their loud laughter, Terry pressed his forehead against Patrice's and smiled. "I'll call you when I'm home."Â
"And I'll answer," she confirmed. "See you later to finish what we started?"
"Plus a couple things we didn't."Â
"I'm holding you to that," Patice giggled.
Kisses filled with the promise of next time kept naive eighteen-year-olds giddy as they parted ways, content with today and hopeful for tomorrow like soothsayers looking to a future only they could see. The horizon was stunning. Golden rays of sunlight illuminated everything the light touched. Beautiful treasure chests gleamed to invite them to claim the riches inside. Songs from angels on high welcomed them to a higher plane of existence.
But off in the distance, beyond where untrained eyes could see, unpredictable dark clouds ambling like a menacing force threatened to rain on a pretty picnic set for two.

Sneak peek of Shut Up and Drive part 3 because writing is more fun than lesson planning đŤ
Without you having to ask, Roy got off of the elevator with you and followed you down the hall to your door; he leaned against the wall and shot you a suggestive look, a man clearly on a very horny mission.
âDonât suppose you have another bottle of ridiculously expensive scotch in there?â His light tone did nothing to disguise his wicked intentions.
You held the keycard between your fingers, offering a coy shrug as you licked your lips. âIâm not sure. Maybe you could come in and help me look?â
The door had barely clicked shut behind you when Roy had your back pressed against it, his fingers digging into the exposed skin between your jeans and Richmond sweater. His eyes wandered boldly over your figure, letting out a soft groan that had you rubbing your thighs together.
âThat sweater looks real fucking good on you,â he muttered, tugging at its hem. âBut I bet it looks better on the floor.â
You grinned as you took off your Ferrari cap and tossed it onto a nearby dresser. âThatâs so fucking cheesy,â you teased, acting like his words didnât turn you on. âThat the best you got?â
He started pulling at your sweatshirt. âOh, you want the best I got?â
âRoy Kent, I want everything youâve got.â

I woke up today to a news article about âRich Men from Richmondâ song and read about the guy who wrote it and how itâs now number one on the charts. The song had been weaponized by the MAGA crowd but I don't see it as being any more political than most music out there. I donât think thereâs a songwriter around that hasn't wrote about how hard life is these days, and how much the world is transforming into something unrecognizable from the recent past. This guy picked up the guitar and wrote something thatâs struck a chord with listeners worldwide. As a songwriter whose been at it for decades I can attest that itâs lightning in a bottle when that happens.
In light of processing this guys story, I was feeling a little disheartened over breakfast about how challenging itâs been for me to reach new listeners with my own creative musical output. Then at that very moment my phone rang.
It was a musician friend of mine whose musical abilities and songwriting I truly admire and respect. He said, âHey Iâm glad youâre upâŚlook, Iâve been listening to the last two songs youâve posted nonstop for days and I just had to call you and tell you how great they are.â
Instantly, the doubt I was feeling about my own work dissipated a little...
âA couple of the lines in âA Song For Me' really grabbed me and made the back of my skull tingle." he continued, "Your harmonies and guitar playing in 'Before The World Ends' are great and I have a playlist of all the songs you post that I listen to on my long drives to work. Please keep posting your new songs, I love listening to them!"
I stammered a few thank yous and then we spoke about songwriting for a while before he said goodbye.
I think the lesson here is that you shouldn't compare your work to anyone else before you have your morning coffee or else you'll end up in an ego death spiral that results in your own personal existential crisis that can only be avoided if you happen to get a reassuring phone call moments later. lol.
But seriously, no artist should compare their work to work that has become wildly successful in a meteoric way because all art is subjective. Just keep making your art and putting it out there and try not to be concerned about the reactions, positive or negative. Either reaction could color your thinking and it has the potential to negatively affect your next song or your next piece if you over-think things too much.
Just stay in the zone and follow your muse. Work hard and keep going. The accumulation of your creative output will start to speak for itself, and at some point, if you keep at it, it will be impossible for anyone to discount what you have achieved whether it's wild runaway success or a steady, steadfast career of consistency that you are proud of.

Where Can You Find Discount Driving School in Virginia?
Learning to drive is a milestone in life, but it can also come with a hefty price tag. For many new drivers, finding a discount driving school in Virginia is essential to ensure quality education without breaking the bank. Fortunately, there are plenty of affordable options across the state that donât compromise on safety or instruction standards. This guide will help you find the best driving schools offering discounts in Virginia while ensuring you meet all the requirements to earn your license.
Why Choose a Discount Driving School in Virginia?
Choosing a discount driving school in Virginia doesnât mean sacrificing quality.

What to Look for in a Discount Driving School?
When choosing a discount driving school, itâs vital to ensure that affordability doesnât mean sacrificing quality. Below are several key factors to look for:
Licensed and Certified Instructors: Ensure that the instructors are certified by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Qualified instructors can make all the difference in your driving experience, offering essential skills and techniques to keep you safe on the road.
Comprehensive Curriculum: The school should offer a well-rounded curriculum that includes both theoretical and practical training. Classroom instruction should cover traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving techniques, while on-road training should focus on building confidence behind the wheel.

Affordable Payment Plans: Some discount driving school offer payment plans that allow you to spread out the cost of lessons over several months, making it easier to manage financially.

Automatic Car Driving Lessons Are The Choice For More Relaxed And Quicker Learning In Ealing

Make an appointment for your automatic car driving lessons. The two components of the theoretical test are the Hazard Perception test and a multiple-choice section. While the hazard perception test uses a computer mouse button to record your replies, the multiple choice portion is administered via a touch screen computer and mouse. To pass your theory test, you must pass both sections. You will fail the entire test and need to retake both sections if you pass one and fail the other.
You can finally drive independently now that you've passed your driving test with automatic car driving lessons. But that's not where it ends; this is only the beginning. You'll have the independence you require once you acquire a car. The cost of insurance might be extremely high for a novice driver.
And why is this case?
According to statistics, the first two years after passing their test carry a higher accident rate for newly licensed drivers than any other period during their driving careers. Age is irrelevant; the main factor is a lack of driving experience.

Old Euclid District 4 Schoolhouse
Richmond Rd.
Lyndhurst, OH
The Old Euclid District 4 Schoolhouse is located on the western side of Richmond Road (State Route 175) at the Oakmont Drive intersection in Lyndhurst, Ohio, United States. Built in 1920, it is listed with the National Register of Historic Places on April 16, 1980. Thereâs a lot of history in the Little Red School House, a well-kept secret 100 yards south of the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Board of Education building, at Mayfield and Richmond roads in Lyndhurst. The original Little Red School House was on the southwest corner of Mayfield and Richmond, where the SE-L Board of Education building now sits. It closed in 1917 and reopened as Euclidville Village School. Euclidville became Lyndhurst in 1920. Adjacent land was purchased in 1921 and the LRSH was moved 100 yards south. Lyndhurst Village School was built in its place. When the SE-L school district was created in 1924, the LRSH closed. The building was restored in 1976 by the SE-L Bicentennial Committee.
    The one-room schoolhouse was the original building of what is now the SE-L school district â back when it was known as the Euclid Township school district. An American flag on the classroom wall has only 36 stars. That was the number of states in the nation in 1866, the year the Little Red School House opened. Visitors can also find an abacus, which students used instead of calculators; slates with chalk, instead of notebooks or computers; an old-fashioned heater and a wood-burning stove; a bucket with a dipper; and a feathered pen. The property, owned by the district, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
    When the third-grade classes on field trips to the LRSH walk into the classroom, the date of Nov. 1, 1866, is written on the blackboard. Itâs an experience the students wonât soon forget, since itâs like stepping into a time machine. Theyâre told itâs the first day of school by a teacher wearing an old-fashioned hat and smock apron. Volunteers not only teach the children such subjects as math, reading, geography and social studies, but they also drill them on how students were expected to behave in the 19th century. Students are also told the proper way to answer a question from the teacher, in a complete sentence.
    The lessons tie in with a unit on history and social studies that the classes work on both before and after their visit to the LRSH. After about 90 minutes, the third-graders visit the South Euclid-Lyndhurst branch library and the South Euclid Historical Society, where more volunteers work with them. Tthe Lyndhurst Garden Club helps in keeping the building maintained and planting a garden outside. The school district, which put a new roof on the building recently, and the garden club have shared the responsibility of its upkeep and scheduling of events. Although the building is used by some community groups, it is not available for regular public rentals.
