You’re my Addiction (Mature)

He cracks open a half-smile, grabs me by my hips and pulls me closer to him; almost instantly I melt in his strong arms as if I were perfect for his body, “I know you feel the sparks too sweetheart, so when you’re done playing house with that boyfriend of yours–head over to my place and let me treat you the way you should be treated.”

EROTIC STORY, CONTAINS MATURE EXPLICIT LANGUAGE AND SEXUAL CONTENT

Chapter One

“That’ll be twenty-one dollars and sixty-three cents Mr. Harrison.” I kindly smiled at him waiting for the payment for the gas I just put in his vehicle.

I took the money from his hands and gave him the change in my pockets. I headed back inside the grocery store to finish up unpacking the shipment that had just arrived this morning. I realized this was going to be another long day.

“Hey Scarlet, everything okay in here?” I looked over to the sound of my name and saw that Mrs. Gleeston was with her kids who were already running around in my store.

“Yeah, how has your morning been Mrs. Gleeston?” I walked over to proceed with a hug and shuffled Brandon’s light-brown hair who was leaning against his mother.

“Well, you know these kiddos never let me have any fun, how’s business lately?” In this small town everybody knew each other. I was the only grocery store in Mermain Waters that was in the middle of nowhere and I pretty much had from gas to clothing in my little store.

“Everything is the same as usual, i’m hoping tourists will come by here more often in the year, but you know how the buses are around here; they always stop at Cedar Mills beside the countryside.” Mrs. Gleeston nods in agreement and starts naming her kids to follow her along to head out my store.

“Well I’ll be praying for ya Scarlet dear, c’mon kiddos!” She grabs the couple of items she bought from me and heads out the door.

I walked to the cash register, behind the front desk to open the windows just a little to let out the cool breeze that was always present around here. I slowly closed my eyes and breathe in the fresh scent of Mermain Waters. I push myself a little further out the opening of the window and lean on the windowsill with my elbows.

I live for days like these, they were the only reason why I loved living here. So calm and quiet, except for the rowdy kids around here, but other than that, it was such a lovely town.

I suddenly feel warm, tender lips on mine and I don’t even bother opening my eyes, figuring it was Kyle; my boyfriend. I let him softly make his way around the opening of my mouth and let his tongue swim around with mine. Mm, this was by far the best kiss I’ve gotten from him ever. He grabs the side of my face, leaning me closer to his and I can feel the sparks tingling from my toes all the way up to my spine.

Woah, where did Kyle get his kissing lessons from? This was so unlike him. I pushed further, almost bumping my head on the window and kissed harder; wanting more. Kyle really needed to come inside and treat me the way he’s kissing right now.

I open my eyes calmly, still not able to make his face with the sun finally shining through my window straight into my eyes. I lean back a little to clear the sun from my face and suddenly come to the realization that it wasn’t Kyle kissing me back.

Confused, I’m looking at a handsome man in a marine uniform whom has broad shoulders and muscles you can see through the material of his uniform. “Um…” That’s all I could say and he walks around to enter inside my grocery store.

He walks inside the store with confidence, his eyes dominating mine as I’m carefully studying him from head to toe. Craving more of the lips that had just a second ago been on mine he proceeds to say, “Hey beautiful.” He takes off his marine hat to be respectful and now I can see the short hair that has somewhat of a Mohawk style.

“I’m sorry, I thought you were my boyfriend Kyle; I didn’t know it was someone else, you know this is a small town and I’m just so clumsy…” I keep on rambling as now he’s studying me with his eyes. I start realizing that he’s not really paying attention to the words that i’m saying; but he’s going around the front desk to come closer to me.

I’m trembling, afraid of what this handsome man will do to me. A guy who’s 6 feet tall can surely take over a 5’3 girl like me. If I scream, no one would hear for miles. He controls me with his lips one more time, grabbing my face closer to his and I can’t resist him.

He turns me around and sits on my chair that I use to check out items for my customers and picks me up to straddle him. He stops kissing me tenderly and stares at my glistening eyes for him, “I couldn’t figure out another way to shut you up.”

I smile at him, blushing only lightly to where he won’t notice my interest in him. “I have a boyfriend.” He continues to kiss me again by the neck, plunging out the moans I do when I’m intimate with Kyle.

“What does that have to do with anything?” He continues to grab my ass and smacks them. I instantly get shocked with that reaction of himself towards me. Kyle had never done anything like that to me. He was always so calm, controlled, and sweet towards me when we made love.

I get off of this stranger whom I don’t know his name and start fixing my clothes that looked wrinkled. “I don’t know you.”

He gets off the front desk chair and walks towards me, putting a finger to my chin and lifting it up to match his tall figure, “Well then let’s get to know each other.”

He walks out and grabs a cart to start putting things in there, aisle by aisle, “The name is Ryan Harper and i’m new to this town.” My eyes are following him as he grabs the basic food necessities like bread, water, and canned food. “Obviously I’m in the Marines, although I won’t get much into that; but I think…” he then stops to look at me directly, “That you and I have something special, something that’s worth leaving that boyfriend of yours.”

Shocked at his statement, I can’t help but feel pleased with his answer. “Nice to meet you Ryan. My name is Scarlet Ames…I own this store.”

“It’s a nice store you have going on Scarlet, the only store I saw around here in Mermist whatever.” He grabs a blanket that was at the end of aisle nine.

“It’s Mermain Waters, and yes, it’s the only store in this small town.” I sit down at my chair and pour myself a glass of water to calm my nerves.

“Yup, that’s what I figured.” I’m looking through the store cameras and see that he’s now in aisle ten trying to figure out what type of cereal he should get. “So what do you do for fun around here?”

“I hang out with my boyfriend…” I feel incredibly embarrassed by my response feeling extremely immature.

He walks up to me and starts setting his items on my counter so I can start scanning them, “Well, maybe you should do me for fun.” He winks and smiles with that venomous smile where I want to just jump his bones. Why am I being attracted to this jerk?

I start putting the items in the bags and set them in his cart, “It’s going to be one-o-three with thirteen cents.”

“So what do you say beautiful?” He takes out the money from his pockets and starts paying me the exact change.

“To what do you refer?” I take the change and put it in my cash register. Ryan then starts laughing and laughing without stopping.

“You want to come over to my place tonight?” He carefully watches my eyes closer, seeing the want that I needed him as well. I couldn’t resist him and this is something I never felt with Kyle.

“Where are you staying at?” I curiously asked. Knowing that if I knew where he was going to be, I could stop by and have some crazy, wild sex with this sexy marine in front of me.

“Down by the road, it’s after you pass the creek; the lady told me her name is Ms. Willows and that I could take care of her place while she’s gone for the winter.” Oh that’s right, Ms. Willows always lets new people in town rent out her place.

I smile back warmly at Ryan, “I know where that is.” I turn around and start placing more inventory out in the store completely ignoring him this time.

“What about you beautiful?” I turned around and figured that he would’ve left by now. “Where do you stay at when I want to come over and fuck your brains out?”

Astonished at the way he was talking to me I walk over to him, angrily this time, “Look mister, I have a boyfriend and I don’t need to be telling you where I live in this town–so stop your catcalling names and head over to your place and let’s try to avoid each other this winter, yes?”

He cracks open a half-smile, grabs me by my hips and pulls me closer to him; almost instantly I melt in his strong arms as if I were perfect for his body, “I know you feel the sparks too sweetheart, so when you’re done playing house with that boyfriend of yours–head over to my place and let me treat you the way you should be treated.” He smacks my ass, feeling that incredible sting making me want him right now; he then continues to slip his finger under my shirt making his way to my nipples and pinches one of them, “And if you’re a good girl…I’ll make sure to make you feel real good.”

Wanting more of this man every second that passes by was making me feel things I never felt before, “Okay.” That’s all I could say after everything that just happened. It’s as if him being a jerk was turning me on. I looked around to make sure that I didn’t have any customers; better yet that Kyle was here watching the entire thing happen before his eyes.

Right before he leaves, he comes closer and places a soft kiss; not the dominating one I’ve been feeling earlier, “See you soon Scarlet.” He then proceeds to walk out the door to put his items in the vehicle.

I sit back down in my chair and look outside the window where he waves goodbye and leaves. What happened right now? I think I’ve cheated on Kyle on a whole new level; emotionally and physically. Ryan was beyond anything I have ever seen in a man; he was everything Kyle wasn’t.

Just as I thought of that, Kyle walks into the store, I immediately jump up and startle myself with all the thoughts of Ryan and everything that happened ten minutes ago. “Kyle?!”

“Hey baby, everything okay, you look worried.” I walk over and kiss Kyle sweetly and hug him tightly as if I already lost him.

“Yup, everything fine here, just haven’t unpacked the shipment from this morning.” He starts grabbing items from the unpacked boxes to help me store them.

“I’ll help you.” He starts organizing the boxes on where they’re going to go, “So anything new this morning?”

I feel guilty at just the thought of hearing that, “Um…” Should I tell him and be honest? I’m always honest with him, so why does it feel like there’s something new created within myself. I should just tell him. “There’s a new guy in town who’s visiting; he’s a marine.”

“Oh really, what’s his name, we don’t get many marines down here.” Kyle responds as he’s looking directly at me now.

“Ryan…Ryan Harper.” I start counting the money in the cash register to make sure I have enough change; but I know i’m doing it to distract myself from screaming out any revealing details. “He’s actually staying at Ms. Willow’s place.”

“Oh i’m surprised she isn’t back yet.” Kyle stands up to finish unloading the other boxes I had in the back room, “Well it’s good to have more younger people in this town–you should invite him for dinner sometime.”

That’s so typical Kyle; wanting to be nice and invite complete strangers to our home. Kyle and I had been together since high school and we’ve been living together ever since we finished college, but 8 years together hadn’t been enough to tie the knot.

“Yeah, maybe i’ll go over later on and invite him.” Kyle looks over to me and agrees without suspecting anything. So typical of him to not get jealous about these things.

“That will actually be a great idea…I have a council meeting tonight and it’s mandatory.” Another council meeting? Seriously there is nobody in this deserted town, what do they need to decide on?

Kyle had been part of the city town council as a city agenda manager, so he was always busy, never having time to do something adventurous or anything spontaneous. “What are you guys going to talk about this time?”

“Expansion of the city and the new school we’re building.” New school? Hmm, never even thought they were going to do that. Especially since I haven’t seen any new kids around here.

“Wow, that seems like it’s going to take a while then.” I looked over at him with a puppy-dog face.

He laughed it off like usual, “I’ll try to be home by ten, but don’t count on it.” He grabbed the last box to un-stock, “The mayor is actually in today and will be flying out tomorrow, so it could be heavy.”

“I swear we need to elect someone else, he’s practically never here.” I smiled at another one of our customers who walked into the store. “Marcia, so glad to see you.”

“Hi, Hi darlings. Where is the coffee love?” I pointed to aisle thirteen. “Thank you.”

---

Another long day, this time I did notice on how many other new people were in town since Kyle had mentioned the new school thing. I started closing up the store to head home; it was already going to be eight. I wasn’t able to focus all day, making silly mistakes I never do, all because of stupid Ryan.

I didn’t live too far from my store, just a couple of blocks away. It was only five minutes away from where Ryan was staying, and I could tell I was extremely tempted to head over there.

I was walking home like I usually do, since there weren’t really any criminals around here. Mermain Waters is a very calm and suitable place to live, I loved being here. Taking a stroll was by far my favorite thing to do after work. “Care to let me join you?” Startled I turned around and saw Ryan without his uniform this time. He was sporting khaki pants and a grey t-shirt that molded his muscles and then played it off with some converse that made him look like a geek.

“You scared me.” I responded back with a sincere smile, “I’m just heading home.”

“Great, I get to see where you live then.” He starts walking a little faster to join my speed.

“Then maybe I shouldn’t head home…” I stopped in my tracks, “I wouldn’t want a stalker.”

“Ha, you’re cute.” I laughed again and continued to walk home, “When are you coming over to my place?”

Is this guy for reals? He’s still trying to get into my pants, but slowly he was winning the battle and I believe he could tell as well. “Actually, I was going to go over tonight.” I looked at his face and I could tell his eyes opened up a little more with surprise.

“Why don’t we head over there right now?” Eagerly, he grabs my arm softly and starts leading me to walk the other way and I don’t fight him.

“The reason I was going over is because Kyle suggested I should invite you for dinner so we can get to know you better and introduce you to our town.” Ryan pulled a half smile and grabbed my hand as we started walking.

“Oh really? I’m sure you weren’t going to come over for another reason.” I pulled my hand away from his wrist and settled it back beside my waist.

“Are you seriously like this all the time Ryan?” I gave him the serious look and his demeanor changed completely.

Finally getting to the house he was staying at, he opened it for me, “Look beautiful, one thing you’re going to learn about me, is that I get what I want…when I want it.” He then closed the door behind me and pushed me into the right room that contained a sofa bed beside the window.

He then proceeded to grab me, picked me up until I couldn’t fight it anymore and set me on the bed for further instructions. “Ryan…I’ve never…” The words couldn’t come out of my mouth. I’ve never cheated on Kyle before, never had a reason to.

Ryan put a finger onto my trembling lips, “Shh beautiful, I’m going to make you feel good.” He pulled my shirt off of me and bared my breasts in a polka dot bra that showed the fullness of my breasts.

“I’m sorry.” I blushed as he looked down at the girly bra that didn’t show much sexual appeal.

“Don’t be sorry.” He unhooked my bra and let my perky breasts fall; immediately I raise my hands to cover them. “You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Your curvy body has been driving me wild with that ass of yours.” I blush again.

I lay down on the sofa-bed that I was on so he can continue to take off whatever remaining clothes that were left on my wanting body. “Do you feel that?” I was referring to the sparks that I’ve been feeling ever since he placed that kiss on me this morning.

“Yeah.” Ryan says as he’s staring into my eyes. He places sweet kisses all over my body, making me discover new feelings that were never present before. For a moment I could feel as if Ryan was my soul mate; the person who was meant for me. “Fu-ck, you’re perfect for my body.”

As Ryan continued to mumble out cussing words, he finally plunged his manhood into me with dominating force, “Fu-ck.” The heat that was visible was starting to make our bodies sweat and we had just barely begun.

I moaned with every force and movement Ryan kept on pushing. In and out. In and out. “Ryan, you feel…so good.” I looked up at him and he quickly turned away. “Is something wrong?”

“If I keep looking at you, you’re gonna finish me off pretty quick here beautiful.” I blushed at his response.

I closed my eyes so he would feel comfortable in being dominating again, never have I felt so much ecstasy and love. “Keep going Ryan, i’m so close.” Just with hearing that, he turned me around and pinned me against the bed. Forcing his manhood even further while cupping my breasts.

This was killing me, I could feel the sensation building up inside me, waiting to come out. “Oh God!” I suddenly felt my entire body trembling and succumbing to his grip as I slowly fell down to the bed, but that didn’t stop him.

He continued to plunge further and further in me, harder and deeper. I felt the sensation again; Could I orgasm twice in a row? “I’m going to burst, oh God no..”

“Oh fu-ck, beautiful, fu-ck …” Ryan and I came together in symphony. He let his heavy and muscular body rest on top of me while finally gaining enough strength to cuddle me in fetal position. “You were amazing.” I couldn’t help but feel accomplished.

I turned around to face his masculine face features, “I should probably get going…” he could tell my face saddened with that expression.

I wanted to tell him I loved him, but he probably didn’t feel the same way. I stood up and gather my clothing and headed to the restroom to change. I came back outside fully-clothed, “So is that a yes to the dinner or what?”

He cracked up like there was no tomorrow, “Yes, I will be there, I want to see what this boyfriend has on me that you haven’t left him by now.” I smiled as I straddled him to kiss him one last time.

“See you tomorrow night then.” I placed one last kiss and left the house to start walking back to mine.

Oh no, what have I done? I cheated on Kyle. I mean, it doesn’t mean that I don’t love him, right? It just means i’m opening up my options. One thing is for sure, this marine has me wrapped around his finger; the sucky thing is… he knows that too.

Chapter Two

I woke up the next morning feeling super guilty about the whole Ryan thing. This was not the way I planned to end the year with everything going so good for me lately. The worst part of it all, was that I was going to have Ryan over for dinner today to meet with Kyle so we can all talk about this wonderful town. Great.

I looked over to the left to notice that Kyle had already left for work this early morning. It wasn’t even 8:00 am yet and he was already gone, so much for him having the day off today. I remember when Kyle used to be cute and romantic with me. Every morning he would have a cup of coffee on my nightstand with a note that had something whimsical and romantic. Those were the days.

I finally got up and dragged my feet to take a shower and get ready for work. I was usually there on time, but everyone knows I like to wake up late.

Today was going to be a … nerve-wrecking day. I had to get dinner ready for tonight, I had to figure out a way to not look suspicious with Kyle and Ryan around, and I had to figure out how I was going to get through this day without killing myself in the process.

I rushed out the door and started walking to work and looked at my phone to see if there were any messages. Just as I figured, none.

“Hey Scarlet!” I looked up and saw Ryan running up towards me. Bad call. What is he doing here?

I waved lightly and pulled my sweater closer to my chest due to the weather being chilly, “Uh, Hey.” I felt awkward with him, even though we had s-ex just last night. Must be the guilt.

“I knew I would catch you walking to work, you’re that type of girl.” He pulled me in to grab my hand like he did yesterday. I took my hand back. “You Okay?”

“Ryan…I have to get to work.” I ran towards work which was already a minute away. Phew, aborted that crisis. I opened the convenience store and picked up the shipment that was stored in the storage room in the back.

DING. I looked over and saw that Ryan walked in confused. Gosh. That man was looking so good this morning, I hadn’t even noticed the casual clothes he had on. His muscles were ripped through the red shirt he was wearing and I blushed my head down to make sure he wasn’t looking at me directly.

“Did I do something wrong?” He came towards the front of the desk to ask me the question.

“You’re not my boyfriend!” I shouted as a customer walked in before hearing the most embarrassing and stupid thing I could’ve said all day.

“Scarlet, so good to see you!” Mr. Erickson came over to the front desk and hand-shaked me, “Where do you have the pasta stuff?”

“Aisle 6.” I smiled back.

“Oh, who’s this young man? New in town mister?” He hand-shaked Ryan’s hand and started introducing himself. They kept on talking even into the aisle that apparently Ryan had already memorized by now after just one day.

Whatever. I started stocking up stuff and putting returned items away.

“Oh so you were in ’Nam?” Pssht, so they were comparing war stories and what not. Wait, Ryan was in the war?

“Scarlet, have you met this Ryan fellow, he seems like a good fit for our town, don’t you think?” I agreed with Mr. Erickson whom I checked out his items. “Nice to meet you Ryan.”

“Likewise Alfred.” I glared at him as if I knew he wasn’t doing all of this socializing on purpose. Mr. Erickson walked out of the store and Ryan came back around the counter.

He didn’t let me take a breath before placing a huge kiss on my lips and letting his tongue swirl around with mine. “Ryan” I pushed him back so nobody would see, even though it was always slow around here.

“I want you to know that I don’t give a fu-ck if you have a boyfriend, I’m not letting you out of my sight Scarlet.” Woah. Ryan made me feel so secure and fragile, but wonderful all at the same time. He placed another soft kiss on my lips and I smiled back at him.

“I’m sorry, I’m just confused.” I put my head down and started playing with my fingers on top of the counter. Just yesterday I had looked outside this window and had this gorgeous man kiss me silly.

“So I can’t wait for this dinner thing tonight, that’ll be fun.” He grabbed boxes to start helping me un-box and pack up the supplies. “What are you cooking tonight woman?” I eyed him to give him that shut-up look.

“I haven’t decided yet, I was gonna pick out a few recipes from the computer today.” I laughed off the silence and went to the back office to search up some recipes.

“Wait, on Google?” Ryan placed the canned goods where they belonged and came to the back office to start bombarding me with more questions.

“Yeah…what’s wrong with that?” I grinned, “Look, I know how to cook…I just need a recipe to go by.”

“You’re cute.” He leaned over the desk and placed a kiss on my forehead and went outside to start the inventory list.

“What are you doing?” I asked, while I realized that he had been doing my job this entire morning. “I’m not even paying you to work here.”

“We need a cover story to lie about our s-ex escapades.” He slyly grinned.

“I guess you’re right.” Talking about that, I forgot I needed to text Kyle to see if he needed me to do anything.

Hey, do you need me to do anything today? I was thinking about heading into Silverling to pick up some organic vegetables and our mail for the week.

I awaited his reply patiently. “Do you want to come with me to Silverling?” I asked Ryan who had just finished my job.

“What’s Silverling?” He laughed. “Don’t tell me it’s another small town around here.”

“Actually…Silverling is the major city around here.” I laughed at him for being new around here. “I have to pick up groceries and my mail.”

“Sure, what the hell.” I loved his reponses, they were always so honest and marine-like.

I closed up the shop and left a note at what time I was going to be back. Not a lot of people came to the store, but when they needed something I have an assistant who would open up the place for them and check them out.

I started walking back home to pick up my vehicle, “Don’t you get tired of walking?” I looked at Ryan who then pursued to grab my hand and was holding them again as if we were a couple.

“Nope.” I looked around and could feel the fresh wind between my fingers and hair, “I love this place. So quiet and peaceful.”

“Wow, you do love this place huh? I’ve been to many places, but never fell in love with any of them.” I’ve been here answering all the questions and we haven’t even gotten to know each other.

I got my keys and we finally left to Silverling, “So…” I nervously blushed while gripping the steering wheel, “The Marines huh?” I looked at him swiftly trying to avoid the awkwardness between us, or so that’s what I thought.

“Yup, been with them for about 6 years now, i’m just taking my vacation to meet a few girls here and there.” I annoyingly gave a small grunt. “Ha, I knew you would react like that.”

How did he know how to push my buttons? “6 years… wow, that’s a long time and commitment to that.”

“Mmhm, it’s lasted longer than the couple of relationships I had, so I gotta say I can’t complain.” I smiled contently. “I went to Afghanistan about a year ago and they decided I needed some time off.”

So he did go to war, I hope he didn’t come back with PTSD, I’ve heard of a few soldiers who go crazy, “Everything okay?” I cautioned myself before stepping into the serious mood that was hovering over us already.

“Just a couple of setbacks, but nothing too serious.” Phew. “So what about you? Anything crazy you’ve done in your life?”

“Crazy! Ha.” I almost immediately felt conquered with life, “Let’s not talk about me, I want to hear your stories and adventures.” I was admiring his tone of voice and how he was so dreamy, I felt like I was in high school again. “So have you had any girlfriends, I’m surprised you even had relationships.” I smirked.

“Oh, you think you’re funny now huh?” Ryan moved his hand towards my thigh that was getting close to my private area…the only place that was yearning for him. He put his hands inside my thigh to where my shorts weren’t even a hassle anymore and moved aside the tho-ng that I had gratefully put on this morning.

“Ryan, stop…I’m driving.” My eyes were getting really focused on the road to prevent an accident.

“I’m only punishing you sweetie.” Punishment? This must be a good behavior reward, because he then started rubbing my hood and slipping a finger in and out of me slowly.

“I…I don’t want this Ryan.” I gripped on the steering wheel even harder to the point where I was digging my nails into the steering wheel cover.

He continued to push his fingers in with force, “Your pus-sy doesn’t seem like it minds the attention.” He was right, it’s as if my body knew he was the one controlling my emotions, because I was drenched with my own fluids.

I looked at him and saw that his eyes were fierce and demanding, I quickly pulled over on the side of the road to where I put the vehicle in park and jumped onto the passenger’s side. “I want you.” He smirked a sly smile and continued to pull off my sweater and tank top to reveal the matching lace bra to the tho-ng he had just met a while ago.

“Scarlet.” He uttered my name while hastily pulling off my shorts to reveal the lace tho-ng as well. With just one look he became this beast that couldn’t wait to get his hands on me. One second I was na-ked and the other he placed me on his already stiff co-ck.

I bounced up and down to the mo-ans that were driving him crazy, “So much for getting groceries.” I laughed. Mmm, this was so much fun.

“Urgh, You…are too much.” I’m too much? He was the one packing a 7 incher here.

“You’re the one who’s filling my tiny self up.” I stared at his eyes for a second.

“You’re good for a man’s ego.” I smiled, I was only pointing out the truth though. I took off his shirt that revealed the amazing body I loved and started licking him from his neck down to his bare chest. “Oh God.”

I then started riding him like it was the ride of my life, I pulled on his hair lightly to hang on to him. “Fu-ck me good baby, I want you all in me.” What’s going on with me? This is not the way a woman talks…or is it?

Suddenly a jolt from Ryan stopped me still on his manhood, “Don’t move an inch or I’m going to burst inside of you sweetie.” He was really enjoying this. I’ve never really made a man this ho-rny to the point where he stopped me. Neither did Kyle have this much control, he just jiz-zed and we stopped having s-ex where I didn’t even get pleased.

“Okay.” I stayed still until he then grabbed me by the waist to slowly move me. “I never thought i’d be having s-ex with a handsome marine in my vehicle on the side of the road.” I embarrassingly admitted out loud.

“I never thought i’d meet a sexy woman who would invade my thoughts completely.” I blushed immediately after what he said. This man was a keeper.

We both hurriedly finished up and he helped me with my clothes back on like a gentlemen, I was still straddling him on his lap, “Thank you.” I placed a full kiss on his lips to finish it off.

“Let me drive.” He smiled and went to the driver’s side to continue for the rest of the way.

“Do you think anybody saw?” I asked nervously, “Not many people use this road, but you always see a couple of tourists lost around here.”

We passed the sign that said 30 miles until Silverling, “Scarlet, had you ever done something like that before?” I blushed completely with that question, the truth was that a lot of these things Ryan was my first on.

I put my game face on, “Uh, yeah, why wouldn’t I have done these things?” Pssht, I didn’t need anyone to tell me I was a noob…well I was though. “Okay, no…” I finally admitted.

“What have you done?” He was fascinated with my life now, “I knew it, you’re a sweet girl who has been in the same town all her life.” Yup, right on the marker.

“Okay, yes that’s true, but I really do love Mermain Waters.” He could tell I was being honest with that, “I haven’t done much things…I’ve been with Kyle only.”

He almost immediately stopped the vehicle, but continued driving, “I’m your second?” I nodded my head.

“I’ve been with Kyle for almost 8 years…and I lost my virginity to him.” I looked outside the window and saw that we finally passed the sign that said 10 miles until Silverling.

He sighed heavily, “Seriously, what does this boyfriend have that I don’t?” What is he talking about?

“Ha, what are you talking about dork?” I continued to laugh until his face proved his seriousness.

“I can be your boyfriend.” He must be kidding. Ryan as my boyfriend? That would mean I would have to break up with Kyle…and we’ve been together for a long time. “Don’t you think i’d make a great one, I can please you.”

“That you can.” I agreed, “But I don’t want to hold you back while I”m here in this town and you’re living somewhere else.“

“You can come with me.” Had he been thinking about this already, “You know I would take care of you.”

“Where is all of this coming from?” I admit, It’s not like I didn’t say I loved this man last night, but I didn’t come upright and tell him about it, “You wouldn’t want someone like me in your life.” Who am I kidding? I want this man all the time.

“You know you’re lying to yourself.” We finally got to our destination, thankfully, because the mood was a little too serious for me.

“Oh, just take a left and the organic store should be right there.” I was excited for this, by far one of my favorite stores.

“Organic?” The air seemed less cramped now. “Please don’t tell me you’re vegetarian, that’s gonna be a deal breaker, but I think I can make an exception.”

I pulled my hair back, “Shut up.” I playfully chuckled, “I just like getting their fresh groceries from here, plus also my best friend works here, this is her store.” I was excited to see Kathleen.

“Mmm, maybe I can score with her too while i’m here.” I coyly eyed at him and gave him the stern look.

“You’re such a player.” Makes sense, he’s probably had a lot of girlfriends and I’m over here with the same guy. We pulled in and parked outside of S & K.

“S and K?” Ryan looked at the sign that under it said Organic Needs , “Did she name her store after your first initial?” Kathleen was crazy, but I always got my shipment from her, I just really wanted to see her though.

“Yes, her name is Kathleen, so be on your best behavior.” I winked at him getting off the vehicle as he locked it.

He smacked my a-ss which seemed to be a thing for him, “Until Harper is your last name, I’m not gonna stop”, he whispered. This man was definitely crazy.

It smelled so good in here, Kathleen had made her business a big thing, but had her main office here in Silverling. Ryan took my hand again, “Why do you that?” I pulled my hand towards me before I saw Kathleen and she suspected anything.

“I want every guy to know that you’re mine.” I blushed again.

I continued walking to Kathleen’s office. KNOCK. KNOCK.

“Come in.” Kathleen’s muffled voice through the door responded.

“Okay, you stay outside and i’ll come out once I’m done.” Ryan agreed and sat down in the chair outside her office. “Kathleen!” I closed the door behind me.

“Oh. My. Gosh!!!” Kathleen swiftly got up her desk to hug me, “Where have you been?”

“Busy.” I smiled. “How is everything?” I sat down in front of her desk.

“Well, business is business, but you know how that is.” She grimaced, “You are glowing…something different is going on in your life right now isn’t it?” I blushed, oh crap, I hope she doesn’t suspect anything. “Did Kyle finally propose?! That’s why you’re here aren’t you?”

“Are you girls talking about me?” Ryan pops out from the door behind me and I instantly feel uncovered with the lies I hadn’t even started telling Kathleen.

“Uh, Kathleen, this is Ryan…He’s new.” I’m screwed.

“Oh, Ryan…Nice to meet you.” She flirtatiously said hello, okay what is she doing?

“Nice to meet you, I hear you’re Scarlet’s best friend.” I laughed out loud with his response back.

Kathleen pulled up another chair beside me so he can sit, “Apparently not that much of a best friend, this is the first time I hear about you.”

“Well he just got in yesterday morning, totally forgot to mention him…” I lied.

“I bet.” She smiled at me, “So what are you guys doing here…together?”

“Oh Scarlet didn’t tell you? She dumped that stupid boyfriend of hers and replaced him with me.” He happily grinned.

“Oh Really?” I was in a complete disaster. “You’ve upgraded I see.” Kathleen played along.

“Shut up dork, I’m still with Kyle, Kathleen.” I got up to pull him out of the room. “Ryan I told you to wait, I was gonna tell Kathleen something private.” I raised my eyebrows.

“Fine, Fine.” He placed a kiss on my forehead. Really Ryan? In front of my best friend? He closed the door behind him.

“I can see you have your hands full with this hunky guy.” Kathleen immediately questioned, “Are you having s-ex with him?”

I couldn’t tell her the truth, could I? “No.” I started nervously playing with my fingers again, “It’s complicated.”

“Finally.” What? What is she talking about? “That’s why you’re glowing, you finally found someone who could take you out of your shell Scarlet!” My shell? I’m not that bad…

“Kathleen, he’s just a guy who came into town, that’s all.” Why am I lying, he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. “Who happens to be extremely hot.”

“You’re hot too Scarlet, you’re hotter than me.” She’s lying, she’s so beautiful, how can she think I’m above her, “You’ve always had the curves, that bo-oty, and those bo-obs that guys go crazy for.”

I looked down to see what Kathleen was talking about, I remember guys wanting to be with me, but I had always been faithful towards Kyle. “But Kyle…”

“Oh, the hell with Kyle, he’s had 8 years to do something about it, and he doesn’t see what he has in front of him.” Kathleen was right, he doesn’t even try anymore. “So…have you had s-ex with him already, he’s so hot.”

“Uh…yeah.” I admitted, “It sort of happened, it’s so unlike me.”

“You’re such a goody-goody Scarlet, you deserve this.” I laughed at the way she said it, it made all of this seem normal.

“Okay, well I should get going, I have to make dinner tonight.” We laughed together and I left the room.

“See you around Ryan.” Kathleen winked at him and then Ryan took my hand again.

---

On our way back to Mermain Waters, Ryan continued to talk about how he wanted to be with me and how much he wanted to see what Kyle has that’s so much better. I couldn’t help but smile at the way that he was being jealous.

“Phew, finally here.” Ryan helped me in getting the groceries inside my house and placed them on the counter. “Can’t wait to try out this recipe.”

“It better taste good, you should’ve stuck with something that was easier.” So like him, to be straight-up with me.

“You just better eat it, even if it tastes bad.” I placed the last bag inside and locked my vehicle.

Ryan came over to smack my ass again, “Or I can just taste you, that’ll be so much sweeter.”

“Okay, so you gotta leave, so I can finish all of this stuff for you, be here by 7 pm sharp okay!” I shoved him out of my house, “And don’t forget to dress nice.”

“Oh I will, trust me, gotta look my best for the boyfriend tonight.” He chuckled.

“Get out of here!” I closed the door laughing and set him on his way back to Ms. Willow’s house.

Alright, now to prepare this recipe, pasta was my favorite!

---

I had taken a quick shower so I wouldn’t smell like Ryan and put on a different set of a red lace bra with its matching tho-ng and fit myself into a tight, red mini-dress. I wanted to make sure Kyle felt jealous of the way that Ryan looked at me, maybe then it’ll spark up something in him.

“Scarlet?” I hadn’t noticed that Kyle had come home already, “You in here?”

“Over here Kyle.” He walked inside the room and was already all dressed, “What do you think?” I flirted with him.

“Wow, you look beautiful.” Kyle walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek and hugged me quickly. “What’s the occasion?”

“What do you mean? We’re having Ryan over today, remember you told me to do this?” Please don’t do this to me Kyle, please don’t say you forgot.

“Oh crap…” Don’t say it Kyle, “I forgot.”

The disappointment in my face was obvious and unforgettable, “You said you would make time tonight, what do you have to do?” I could tell he was looking for something to get out of the house quickly.

“I need the documents for the Andrews proposal.” I pointed to the desk and third drawer, “Thanks babe.”

Tears started to form in my eyes, I looked at the time and saw that it was already going to be 6:45. “What do you have to do?” I asked again, looking at him seriously.

“It’s this case, for the Andrew file, we need this information by today, and I have to fly over there tonight.” Fly? I almost didn’t notice the suitcase that was already packed beside the door, “I just came to pick this up and say good-bye.”

“I bet you wouldn’t have even said good-bye if you didn’t have to come home for this stupid file.” I bluntly grunted, almost bursting with tears at this point.

“Sweetie, you know I love you.” Do you Kyle? “I really have to go already though, send me a text message if you need anything.” Kyle started walking out the door to where Ryan was barely going to knock. “Oh are you Ryan, nice to meet you.” He hand-shaked Ryan’s hand.

“Kyle I believe, I know a lot about you, Scarlet won’t stop talking about you.” I smiled at him, he could tell I was in a crappy mood.

“Interesting.” He looked back and smiled at me, “Well I actually have to leave, but please do tell me how the dinner goes, we’re gonna have to reschedule Ryan.” Ryan agrees with him and Kyle leaves without even waving good-bye to me.

“So, did you make me food?” I couldn’t hold back to my tears anymore, they kept on falling ruining the perfectly good makeup I had on. Ryan closed the door, “Scarlet, please don’t cry.”

“How could he do this to me? He knew how important it was, I wore this dress for him and everything.” I cried even louder this time.

“Well, I thought you wore it for me.” He laughed, “Come on, let’s get you cleaned up.” I instead stood up by myself and walked to the restroom to clean myself up.

One hard look in the mirror and I knew, this was not the life that I realized I was living in for the past 8 years with Kyle. I prettied myself up and went outside. “So I cooked pasta with roasted tomatoes and potatoes.” I started putting the dishware onto the table.

“Let me help.” Ryan got up.

“No sit.” I brought the champagne over to where Ryan sat back down almost immediately, “You’re my guest.” I went over to his lap and sat down on it, “Cause i’m your dessert for tonight.” This evil side of me was fun, I kissed his lips passionately and sat back down on my chair so we can enjoy our meal.

“C’mon, i’m better than that douche-bag, you have to admit.” I continued to eat my penne pasta with the potatoes and took a sip of my champagne.

“I agree.” Ryan look startled, I guess he didn’t expect that response. “I’m done with my food, are you?”

I wanted him to show me what a real man does, “Fu-ck yeah.” He jumped over to where he picked me up and took me outside.

“What are you doing?” I laughed.

“I saw that you had a pool, I wanted to be your first in something else, have you had s-ex in it?” My eyes were wide open, s-ex in the pool…people do that?

“No.” I smiled. With that, Ryan put me down and stared me down while slowly removing my mini-dress.

“By the way, you look fu-cking sexy with this baby.” I stood outside with my bra, tho-ng, and heels on. “This is a sight every man needs to see.”

It was kind of chilly outside, but the kind where I knew Ryan would heat me up with his na-ked body, “What do I do?”

He leaded me inside the pool with both of us in our undergarments and barefoot. “Your eyes are so mesmerizing, beautiful.” I blushed, and then it quickly went away as he pushed aside the bra off my shoulders and revealed my busty chest again in full sight.

I turned away, “Don’t stare.”

“How can I not?” He lifted his hands and started playing with my bre-asts, feeling the fullness of it. He lowered his head and started licking the nip-ple buds, he bit them softly and I winced a little. “Did that hurt?

“Yes…but it felt really good.” Does pain excite me? “It feels wonderful.”

Ryan continued to bite them and suck on them, he removed the tho-ng and his boxers to start having me pump his 7 incher. I moved closer to feel the heat between us again and started pumping him which was already elongated enough. He rolled his eyes back, “God, you feel too good baby.”

“Ryan I want you already.” I pulled myself up, holding on to the back of the pool, this was too fun, how did I not do this with Kyle before?

He lifted me up and placed me slowly on his man-hood, “Ah, Fu-ck.” I could see the juices spilling into the pool, that has to be unsanitary, but who cares. Ryan continued to lift me up with my bre-asts bouncing like crazy in front of him.

“Oh, Oh.. Jesus, where did you learn to do something like that?” I asked as he continued and the pressure was alread building from my orgasm.

He wildly went into game-mode and started fuc-king me harder, harder than last night and earlier this morning, “You like that baby?” This man was a professional.

My eyes were staring at his the entire time, “Mmhm.” I continued to moan and be dominated by this man, “Ryan…I don’t know if I should say this.”

Ryan continued to slower down his stamina and bounced me lightly still with the ecs-tasy running through my body, “What’s wrong?”

“I think I love you…” I pushed myself further, to where he was not really deep into me. I didn’t want to hear his response, his answer where he neglected me.

“I think I love you too Scarlet.” I opened my eyes, did he really? He pulled me off him and kissed me passionately, sweetly this time, unlike the way that he was last night.

He couldn’t stop holding on to me, “Ryan, don’t leave me dry like this.” I laughed.

“How can I leave you dry when you’re in a pool? He laughed with that gorgeous smile and swam up to me to kiss him hard again.

“I love you so much.” He seemed happy to hear me say that, because he picked me up and placed me outside of the pool on the hard floor and lifted both of my legs to push his man-hood that way. “Agh!”

He almost stopped, but realized it was just me moaning like usual, “Fu-ck, Ah, Oh Baby.”

“Keep going Ryan. Oh God, I fu-cking love you.” This was so not me, but I was really enjoying myself.

My back started to ache, but I couldn’t let him stop, my bre-asts kept on bouncing up and down with every thrust he put forward, “You look so hot right now.” We were both climaxing so he got closer to me and kissed me and let his juices spill inside me. His c-um felt so warm and I felt like we were both in unison.

He pulled out and let the c-um spill out by itself, “Let’s get in the water, it’s warmer for you.” He kindly lifted me up and pulled me back inside the water. So warm.

“That was fun.” I splashed water on him to his face and I immediately started swimming away from him.

“Oh so that’s how it’s going to be?” He swam towards me to pull me in closer, “Scarlet Ames, I’m not ever gonna let you out of my sight.”

“Hopefully not.” I licked his lips to be funny and he pulled in to swirl around with his, “I love you Ryan.”

“I love you too Scarlet.” He hugged me tight, dominating again, “So am I going to sleepover or what?”

“Only if you’re going to tuck me in at night.” I caught free from his hands and started to swim away, this was going to be a long night.

Chapter Three

I looked over to the left side of the bed and saw Ryan’s naked body covered by the bed sheets that only separated us an inch.  I admired his body with the sunlight creeping through the window, he had a lot of battlescares.

I couldn’t believe I hadn’t noticed the scar he had on his lower back, but yet again I always looking at his amazing body through the front-side.  Ryan slowly awoke and I quickly turned around before he caught me looking at him creepily.

“Morning sunshine.” He said as he proceeded to move closer to me to get into a cuddle position on my naked body.  I shivered as he moved closer…feeling his warm body next to mine.

“Morning.” I replied back, smiling where he couldn’t see me.  What had I done?  I just cheated on my boyfriend again and now i’m here in our bed, with this gorgeous man.  Is it bad to say I don’t even regret it?

He slowly hugged me and squeezed tightly on my chest, “I don’t ever want to let you go.” Me neither…but you’re not mine, I thought to myself.  I’m sure he has many girls waiting for him in different states.

“Ryan…” I quietly replied, waiting to ask the serious questions that now i’m deciding to do this early in the morning.

“Hmm?” He sleepily answered back, still hugging me tightly as if I were even able to get out of his strong arms.

I turned around, facing him this time, still with his arms hugging me tightly, but my chest on his chest this time, “How come you never settled down?”

I could feel the uncomfortable air that was hovering over me, while Ryan slowly moved away his arms around mine, “I don’t know, it’s complicated I suppose.”

“Nothing is every complicated, You just do what feels right.” I replied back, sounding all professional and what-not.  “What happened at war?”  Oh no, maybe i’m taking it too far with this question for sure.

“Can’t talk about it just yet.” He moved closer to place a kiss on my forehead, “But when I can, you’ll be the first one that i’ll let know, okay?”  I nodded my head like a child finally getting what they wanted.

“I had fun with you last night.” I added to the conversation, to slowly step away from the seriousness.  “I think you’re too experienced for me though.” I giggled as I got close enough to feel the warmth of his body.

“Well then i’m gonna be your teacher.” He winked at me, smacking my ass to where the sting started to excite me.  “Ready for round three?”

Round three?  Weren’t the two rounds last night enough, “Where do you get so much stamina, my body has no energy right now!”

“Don’t worry, all you have to do is lay there.” He whispered as he got up to reveal his na-ked body in front of me and went over to my side to start giving me a massage.

“Wow, this feels so good Ryan!” I admitted while he kept on massaging my neck; all the stress was slowly going away…not the guilt though.

He made his hand slowly rub down to my back and started massaging the lower back side, “Oh keep going, that’s the spot where I have a slight kink.” He massaged a little deeper, this man knew how to do everything!

All of a sudden I feel a jolt of electricity run from the tip of my toes to the tips of my fingers “Oh!” I exclaimed when he started to slowly rub the ho-od and inserted two fingers ins-ide me.

He started off slow, then started to gain a little speed, as if he was following the rhythm of my moans, “I should’ve known you had something else in mind.”

“What kind of guy would I be if I didn’t?” He chuckled pushing his fin-gers as de-ep as he could go.

“Ah!” I responded with that last push he did, this time I certainly could tell that it wasn’t his fin-gers, “Mm, Oh!”  The fullness of him started to really make me regret him staying the night, he wasn’t so easy to take all in.

“Okay, baby, one more thrust for me to get all in.” He pushed in harder and deeper this time, tears were coming out of my eyes; I don’t know if it was me being excited or me trying to take it all in.  “Fu-ck you’re so tight, good job baby.”

I felt accomplished of taking him all in, but I knew the party still wasn’t over; he thrusted long, hard thrusts that had me dripping the wet-ness of me.  “Mmm..” I couldn’t moan anything else.

I caught the headboard and started to hang on and he thrusted from behind me, if he could see my expression he would probably finish in two seconds, I giggled, I love making him feel pleased.  He smacks my ass, getting pleased with just torturing me in pleasure.  “Okay, lesson number one…” Oh this is going to be fun and nerve-wrecking, all at the same time!

“I’m going to insert one fin-ger in your beautifully, rounded a-ss.” What?!  He has to be joking.

“But that’s the place where…” I couldn’t finish it off, “I don’t know Ryan.”

He leans over to my side and whispers, “Do you trust me baby?”  I nodded, it was true.  I trusted this man with my life, even if he just got here three days ago.  “Okay, if anything starts to hurt you, I will stop, I promise.”

That made me feel better.  I heard him suck the finger he was going to insert and that was already making me nervous, “Ready?”

“Uh-huh.” Okay, time to learn new stuff.  The coldness of his finger on my a-ss sent my shivering body waiting impatiently, then slowly I felt him insert it inside the tight space.  “Uhhh..”

“Don’t fight it, or else it’s going to hurt more.” By this point he wasn’t thrusting anymore, just putting his finger inside.  I didn’t fight it this time, and it easily went in–but still stinging.

He continued to thrust hard, moving the finger around inside me at the same time, this sensation was different, I liked it.  “How does that feel baby?”

Honestly, it felt good, “The stinging hurts, but it feels really good.”  He moved it inside more and kept on what he was doing.

“You’re dripping your juices, it’s so fuc-king sexy.”  I could tell he was enjoying the sight, because his thrusts start to get more erratic like he couldn’t wait to release.

“Oh!” After awhile this was growing on me, the feeling was getting heightened with everything Ryan was doing, it felt so amazing!

“Baby your moans, you’re gonna make me…” I needed to finish quick, or else he was going to let me be disappointed, “Ah fu-ck.”

Everything started getting fuzzy, this was the moment that made everything worth the while, “Ryan…” I gasped for air as my body convulsed into sweet ecstasy.

Not long after that Ryan finished off as well, he was extremely tired when he got back on the bed to lie down, “I don’t know how you do this to me.”

I smiled happily, “I love you…” I blurted out, still unaware of what happened last night when he replied the same back to me.

His face turned around to face me straight in the eyes, “I love you too Scarlet.” He removed the bed sheets that were already falling to the ground and stood up slowly, “Wanna take a shower with me?”

“And don’t say round four…” I laughed as I stood up as well to join him.

“You know me too well.” 

After our shower, I decided to cook Ryan some late breakfast; weekends weren’t the same anymore with Kyle always leaving me, so today I made the best breakfast I could for somebody who would appreciate my cooking.

“I think you burnt the toast…” I gave a stern look at Ryan who slowly glanced away, “Just kidding.” He laughed as he continued to eat his food.

“So what are our plans for today?” I took a sip from my orange juice, “Cause today is a Saturday, I want to get crazy tonight!” 

“Shut up dork, you’re not even willing to do crazy stuff.” He’s right though, there was something about public stuff that got me nervous to the max, “I’m thinking…” Oh gosh, what do you have in mind?

“Spit it out!” I laughed while I picked at his food.

“We should go to a sex store.” Huh? Do they even have any of those around here?  “You are in some serious need of some fun toys.”

“But how will I explain the toys to Kyle?” We never used anything other than having “regular” sex for the past eight years…but maybe that’s why Kyle hasn’t tried anymore either.

“I’ll keep it at my place and then you can come over”, he winked at me and then picked up his plate to set them at the dishwasher, “There has to be one in Silverling.”

“I’ve never been to one…” I replied.

“Another first then, shouldn’t be a problem right?” I would do anything for him, even going to a store that sell sex stuff.

“Nope.” I smiled, “I’m game, when do we leave?”

“Now.” He grabbed my purse that was on the couch, “Get your sweet a-ss in the vehicle.”

“Yes Sir!” I saluted him while I quickly got inside the vehicle.

“Okay so what does google say?” He asked me while five minutes away from arriving to Silverling.

I quickly scanned the listings about sex stores in Silverling, “Wow!  There’s actually quite a few here!” I excitedly responded back, not giving him the answer that he asked for.

“So give me the directions for the one with the most reviews, I want to go to one where they’re stocked.” I looked at him and he gave me that devilish smile; the one that said i’m up to no good.

“Okay so 1215 Jaine.  Take the exit for Border Avenue and then turn left on Jaine and it should be two blocks away from the expressway.” I quickly responded so he wouldn’t get even more frustrated.

“Thanks.” He put his hand on top of mine to show the affection that I needed from him, “You excited?”

“Seems like this is more for you than me love.” I glanced on the phone GPS to make sure we were on the right track, “I think it should be fun though.”

“Should.” He responded bluntly.

“Okay so after this, what are we doing?” I excitedly smiled, “Cause I know you’re gonna want to use these toys immediately.”

He grinned, “We’re here.” Ah! This man was making me really nervous, but I loved every minute of it.

“I’m nervous…I’ve never been to one of these before.” I got off the vehicle and saw the sign in big, bright letters, “What if someone sees us?”

“You don’t even know anyone around here!” He laughed, “C’mon let’s go.”

We entered the s-ex store; I grabbed his hand as we entered, I wanted to act like a couple, not a person who was cheating on her boyfriend.

“Welcome to Your Fantasies, do you need any help?” The salesperson asked as Ryan quickly nodded no.  “Okay, let me know.”

We started going through the lingerie aisle, “This looks so cute.” I checked to see if the lingerie was in my size.

“You don’t need that, I like you naked anyway.” He kissed my neck lightly while he took my hand and took me into a different aisle that had some sort of pe-nis shaped silicone thingies, “What do you think about this?”

“What is it?” I laughed.

“It’s for that beautiful a-ss of yours, it’s called a butt plug.” Huh!  That thing is supposed to go in me?

“I don’t know…” I replied weakly.

“We’re gonna take some lubricant to make it easier for you, okay?” I nodded, “Do you trust me?”

“Yes, I trust you Ryan.” He took a medium-sized bu-tt plug and put it in the shopping cart, as well as some lubricant that was supposed to be water-based.  “What else do I need to try?”

“Okay, so now we need some of this.” He pulled some string that had little balls to them, “They’re an-al beads.”

“Let me guess, for that perfect a-ss of mine”, I laughed as I just took them and put them in the cart as well.  “Okay so what else, s-ex partner?”

“Last thing you need to try”, He pushed me to a different aisle that had a whole bunch of different things for bondage, “Nip-ple clamps, rope, and hand-cuffs.”

“Got it, ready to try it out?” He quickly took the cart and the lady started to check out the items, man this stuff is expensive, “Here you go.” Ryan handed her the credit card and we left the building.

“Well that wasn’t that bad…although I do admit that was kind of embarrassing.” I said before getting back into the vehicle.

He kissed me before putting the vehicle in drive, “Don’t worry s-ex kitten, i’ll take care of you.”

“So is this kind of like you’re my master?” I laughed softly.

“Yup kind of, and you’re my submissive.” He chuckled, “You’re cute.” He responded, getting back on the expressway.

“Okay, so explain how these toys are supposed to please me.” I questioned his methods.

“Alright, so the nip-ple clamps will give you a little pinch and will turn you on even more when I’m fuc-king you.” I really wanted to get home now!

“Okay what else, what else!?” I happily asked as he kept on explaining what the other toys do.

“Did you like what I did with my finger this morning?” I shyly nodded.  “Well the bu-tt plug and an-al beads are gonna make it feel full and it’s gonna make you feel really good when I’m inside you.”

“Okay, well hurry up and get home!” I pushed him.

“Why can’t we do it here?…” I looked around and saw nothing but the empty road again like last time when heading to Silverling, but this time we were heading back to Mermain Waters.

“Oh no…but then that means we’re gonna do it here in the vehicle…” I giggled.

“It’s an SUV, it can take it.” He pulled over to the side and told me to get in the back seat.

He took off my shorts and ripped my underwear, “Ryan!” I exclaimed.

“You don’t need it.” He laughed as he poured some lubricant in his hand and put it in the area he wanted it to, my behind!  He opened the bu-tt plug package and poured a little bit on it as well, “Are you ready?”

“Mmhm.” I responded, he could see the twinkling in my eyes, ready to obey his command.

He slowly inserted the tip of the plug, then pushed it a little deep, “Uh!”

“Shhh baby, take it for me.” I nodded and he pushed the rest in.  “You’re doing good.”

He then started to move it in-and-out to get the motions as if it were his man-hood inside me, “How does that feel Scarlet?”

“It feels full…” He laughed when I responded with that.

“But does it feel good?” I nodded while I was hanging on to the back seat.

“Okay, I want to go down on you.” I moved away and got closer to the window.

“No!” I shouted as he pulled me back into his arms, “I…I don’t like that.”

Ryan seemed confused, “Why not?”

“I’ve never done that before…” He looked completely furious this time, “I’m sorry.”

“What has that stupid boyfriend of yours been doing you to please you?” He turned me around and took off the shirt that revealed the bra-less look I went for today.  “Mmm, just what I like to see.”

He took the nip-ple clamps and put one on each end of my breasts, “Ouch…that sends a funny sensation to my special area.”

He chuckled, “Control the plug.” I laid down but continued to obey his commands.  Suddenly he goes down directly to my la-bia and opens it to push in his tongue in some sort of swirling around that completely shocked me and my senses.

“Ahhh!” I moaned and moaned as if somebody were pushing a reset button, “Oh gosh, Ryan!” He pushed his tongue further, sucking on the hood that tingled me.

He pushed two fingers in at the same time while continuing to lick me, I hadn’t noticed that my hand controlling the plug was going wild; the feeling was amazing.

Ryan stops and starts to open up his zipper to reveal the already stiff man-hood that was waiting for me, “Good job s-ex kitten.”  He pushed in his man-hood inside of me, without a warning, and thrusted long, hard thrusts that made the plug feel too full inside me.

“I can’t…I can’t hold it in anymore…” I responded as tears of joy were coming out the sides of my eyes.

“Hold it.” He commanded, as he put his lips closer to mine and started to wildly kiss them.  I could tell the feelings of enjoyment were there, “C-um for me.”

With just the sound of his voice and the approval, my body convulsed and was shaking around his man-hood, I couldn’t wait any longer, it just had to happen.

“Ah! Oh!” He thrusted harder, almost to the point where it was hurting, but it felt so good!

“That sexy voice…and your expression…” I feel the warm seed of his slowly seep out of me, oh no…It’s a good thing I was on birth control.

I smiled, “Mmmm, that was by far the most amazing feeling i’ve ever felt before!”

“Now will you leave your boyfriend?” Kyle! I completely forgot about him…he hasn’t even called or texted me to my cell phone.

“We’ll see.” I kissed his lips and then started to clean myself up.  “I hope no one saw…”

“And there you go again with the paranoia.” Ha, so true.

We finally got home and put all the toys in the bag that we bought them in, we had gotten off to a convenience store to clean them quickly before we got back.  Ryan put the vehicle in park and was going to zoom in to kiss me before we got off, but I quickly got out of the vehicle when I saw Kyle’s car was here too.

“Scarlet, where have you been, i’ve been looking all over town for you!” Kyle came up to me and hugged me while kissing the lips where Ryan’s were.

“I’m sorry…I went to Silverling with Ryan, I was showing him the town.” Wow, where did I get the lying skills from.

“Oh Ryan.” Kyle looked annoyed, “Well you should get home, I can handle this.” I’m not some sort of meat Kyle…I annoyingly looked back at him.

Ryan brought down the bag of the s-ex toys, “Oh you bought something Ryan?” Kyle asked as he continued to go further to see what Ryan had bought.

He pulled away and closed the bag while handing me the keys to my vehicle, “Here you go Scarlet.”

“Thank you.” I replied back, worrying that Kyle might think something is up.

“I’ll see you later.” He said while starting to walk back to the place he was staying at.  Kyle started to walk towards him and whispered something in his ear, with that Ryan looked straight into my eyes and angrily left.

“What did you tell him?” I asked Kyle.

“Get in the house Scarlet.” I got inside quickly before Kyle got even angrier.  “What were you doing in Silverling with him?”

“I told you…we went to go see the town.” I replied back to his angry question.

“Don’t lie to me Scarlet.” Oh no, have I been caught, I can’t lose Kyle.

“Nothing happened, i’m telling you the truth Kyle, why are you even asking me?” I asked.

Kyle then pushed me into our bedroom where Ryan and I made love this morning, “Get naked for me.”

“Okay.” I quickly took off my clothing to now Kyle’s angry demands.

“You weren’t wearing any underwear today?” He questioned.  Oh crap, I forgot Ryan ripped those and probably took them with him to avoid us getting caught.

“I felt wild today.” I answered.  Kyle then got closer and pushed me to our bed and opened his zipper to reveal his hard man-hood.

“We’re going to have s-ex.” I nodded.  He told me to get on top of him, it wasn’t the usual that we did, usually we did the missionary style and just got on with it until he got pleased.

I started to ride him, mmm, it felt good also.  Kyle wasn’t that big, but I couldn’t stop thinking of what Ryan and I did.  “Open your eyes and look at me.”

“I’m sorry.” I started kissing Kyle and like usual he came in less than ten minutes.

“I love you Scarlet.” I looked into Kyle’s eyes and I could see was emptiness in his soul.

Saying these four words just didn’t feel the same with him anymore, “I love you too.”  I think i’m in love with my marine.

Chapter Four

Yesterday couldn’t seem any worse.

Ryan didn’t text me at all, he could probably sense that I didn’t want to get in trouble with Kyle right now…I still wanted to see him.

Kyle definitely didn’t care about pleasing me or even questioned anything else with my rendezvous with Ryan, but at the same time, it probably didn’t even phase him.

“Where are you going?” Kyle asked when I decided to get up already, the morning was fresh outside, I could see the sun smiling through our bedroom window.

“Work.” I brushed the answer off, like I didn’t even care about him. Why am I acting like this? I do love him still…don’t I?

“Well, I was thinking maybe you can take the day off and we can hang out with each other today.” I don’t know why he would ask such a thing. It has been years since we’ve been on a date, I was starting to feel like we were roommates already.

“Um…” I was taking a lot of days off of work, my poor assistant was taking cover of my shifts, but she didn’t know the real reason why, I also didn’t want to admit to Kyle that I’ve been taking days off, “Sure…”

“Great, well let me take a shower and I’ll meet you in a few minutes, if you want you can check up on the store and see if you need to do something.” Great idea Kyle.

“Alright, see you at the store in about an hour then.” I swiftly left the house and started walking towards the store. “Hey Pam.”

“Scarlet, I wasn’t sure if you were going to come in today or not.” Pamela was pretty young, but she was going to school part-time and also working here at the store.

“Actually, Kyle wants me to take the day off…it’s a date.” I smiled back at her, wondering if this would be a good idea or not. Maybe this could be something that could bring Kyle and I back together, on the same relationship track again.

“Date?” Out pops Ryan who was attentively listening helping Pamela store the boxes away.

“Ryan?” Pamela puts her hand on his shoulder and smiles back at me, I could tell she was developing a little crush on him already.

“He’s been helping me with the store, I didn’t know you two have met already. He’s a marine…” She awed and looked back at him. Ryan could tell that she liked him, what a jerk, he’s playing with her feelings.

“Sweet Pamela here is just showing me the ropes, I need to do something with my spare time.” Ryan winked at me and started to look down at my body.

I tried covering with my purse, but that didn’t really help, “Ryan can I speak to you in my office?” Ryan eagerly dropped the shipment and started to head to the back behind the register and closed the door.

“Kyle…had sex with me yesterday.” I admitted. I could see the anger in his eyes, like if he owned me or something.

He punched the door lightly, “Why are you telling me this?” I didn’t want to keep anything between whatever this was…but now it seems like he doesn’t even care.

“What do you mean why am I telling you? Because I thought you would care…” He angrily steps forward and gets close to my lips.

“I’m not your boyfriend.” He turned around not even caring about what I said. “You’ve made that really clear by staying with that loser.”

“You know I just can’t leave.” He turned back around and showed me another side I hadn’t seen before.

“And why not?” I walk towards him to answer his stupid question.

“Because I barely know you…you don’t even talk to me about your past, and I know there’s something you’re not telling me.” I angrily replied back.

“I can’t.” Ryan looked down at his shoes. It was obvious there was something holding him back.

I opened the door to get out and meet Kyle who was probably already on his way, and I know it doesn’t take forever to get over here, “As long as you hold back, I don’t care what I feel about you…I may love you, but I’m not willing to give up everything for you when I know you’ll probably leave me first.”

I wiped off the tears that were holding me back from leaving outside my office, but I had to keep on walking. Ryan stayed behind, not even showing any remorse for not caring or even apologizing for the way he treated me back there.

“Ready?” Kyle had barely shown up and greeted Pam before I showed up to the front of the store already.

“Mmhm.” I waved goodbye to Pam and I could see Ryan looking through the cash register window… the same window where I met his captivating lips.

“I reserved a dinner appointment at the Piazza. We can do a little bit of shopping, watch a movie, and maybe take a walk in the park afterwards, how does that sound?” Wow, Kyle has really outdone himself, but it’s also been a while since he’s done something like this.

“Okay.” I happily smiled back. We head into the city direction of Mermain Waters to go shopping first, Kyle insisted.

Rows and rows of shopping centers and all I could think about was Ryan. I could feel his small bites on my neck, his lips hungry for mine, and my body desperately wanting him. “What do you think?” I looked up and saw Kyle pointing at a dress inside one of the stores.

“It’s beautiful, I don’t think I can pull it off though.” I searched my memories to remember where I had worn that red dress, the one that was supposed to capture Kyle’s heart, instead Ryan took it off of me that night.

“You’ll look fantastic in it, c’mon go try it on.” We entered inside the store and I picked up the dress in my size. Hopefully my breasts won’t be a distraction.

I took a hard look at the mirror, the dress displayed my curves nicely, and my breasts were perfectly snug. I took a deep breath and went outside of the dressing room so I can show Kyle.

“Wow.” Kyle stood up from his seat and placed his hands right above my hips and slowly started to feel the material of the dress to match the outline of my body. “We are buying this.”

I instantly gave him a quick kiss before the thinking of Ryan came back, “Thank you.” I went back inside and changed into my normal clothes.

“That will be sixty-one and twenty-five cents.” The salesperson said, while staring at Kyle profusely. Kyle then took the receipt from her quickly touching her hands. That was weird.

Had I not noticed that Kyle was a flirt before? In high school he was always so nice to me, but I knew he had a different side of him too.

“If I say so myself, that girl was flirting with you.” I admitted while heading to view other stores.

“Nah, she was just being nice Scarlet.” Mmhm, nice my ass. Nobody touches your hand for no reason.

“So what have you and Ryan being doing together?” Shit. I really didn’t want to get into this right now, especially after these couple of days that he’s been teaching me. I immediately blush just thinking about him.

“I was just showing him the town and meeting some new people around here.” I gracefully lied to him. What else am I supposed to tell him? That’s he’s been showing me sex-ual things?

“That’s nice of you. I never asked, he’s in the marines right?” Duh Kyle, you knew that since the first day I met him.

“Yeah. Why are we talking about him?” I interrupt his next question.

“I’m just asking.” Kyle then opens the door for the next store, “He seems really interested in you, that’s all.”

“He’s my friend, especially since you’ve been paying no attention towards me.” Did I really want to get into a fight here in the middle of the store.

“I know I’ve been distracted, but I don’t think I’ve been ignoring you Scarlet. Stop acting this way.” I get out the store as fast as I could. Kyle follows afterwards.

“Excuse me?” I shoved him with people now looking around us, “The only reason why Ryan is so into me is because he’s the only person I’ve been able to talk to.” I sit down at the bench that is right against us, “You’ve been ignoring me for about 5 years now Kyle…don’t you see how distant you’ve become?”

“Yes…that’s why I’m doing this.” He sit down beside me, “I wanted to show you that I do care.”

Tears have started to pile on, “I just feel like i’m falling out of love…with you.”

I could see Kyle’s face, like something punched him in the stomach, “I didn’t know you felt that way.” I nod, embarrassed by the reality of this. “Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

I look down, ashamed of the past days where Ryan has taken advantage of my body, not like I didn’t mind of course, “No.” If you would’ve asked me if I would’ve lied to Kyle ever, I would’ve laughed. That’s not my personality.

But I’m getting really good at this. A little too good.

I had changed into the dress that Kyle had bought me, he insisted I wear it to our dinner tonight. The rest of the day for us was pretty awkward. It’s as if we were on our first date again. Not even with Ryan did it take this long to get comfortable.

“The food here is delicious Kyle, thanks for a wonderful day.” I smiled at him, while he picked at his food trying to decide if he should put salad dressing on it.

“Anything for you beautiful.” I nod my head in agreement. I don’t understand why things just didn’t feel the same. “I have something to tell you.”

I look up straight into his eyes, “Yes?”

“You know… we’ve been together for a while now. You know I care about you, and I know you care about me.” He starts fidgeting with his hands, “But I should’ve done this a long time ago Scarlet.”

Kyle gets down on one knee and pulls out a box with a gorgeous diamond ring inside of it, “Would you marry me Scarlet?”

This can not be happening.

Pressured by the reaction of everyone else I say, “Yes.” Tears are rolling down on my face…not because of joy, but because of guilt and betrayal that I’ve caused onto Kyle.

“I love you Scarlet.” My reaction to all of this was not the same though, I didn’t love him anymore.

That night Kyle said he needed to go into work early and decided to pull an all-nighter at a buddy’s house where they’d be working on some files for the city.

I rolled in my bed sheets, wondering if saying yes was the right thing to do. I should’ve come clean since the first time that it started with Ryan. I stood up in my over-sized shirt and panties and decided to get a glass of water.

I placed the engagement ring down on the dresser before leaving the bedroom, I didn’t want to wear it. Especially if it didn’t seem right.

A slight knock hovered in the silence. Who would be coming here really late? I looked through the peephole and saw Ryan in a grey hoodie with his hands in his pocket.

I opened the door slightly, “Ryan?” He came inside, uninvited, and pulled me in for a kiss. This kiss meant something different. It wasn’t asked or given, it was needed.

“I don’t want you to be with him.”

“What do you expect me to do?” I stood there. My big eyes looking at his seldom ones. I was lost. Completely lost for the first time in my life.

“Be my girlfriend, what else do you want me to ask from you?” I looked at him directly again. As cheesy as it sounded, there was something unique about this guy.

“Okay.”

His dim eyes turned into a brighter face, his mouth forming the ’U“ shaped like he was happy about something for once in his life, “You’ll be my girlfriend?”

“Mmhm.” I smiled back at him and didn’t expect the big hug as he carried me up to straddle his body to support my own weight, “Put me down Ryan.” I playfully laughed.

“I’m never going to let you go Scarlet.” I continued hugging him and then came to the deathly realization that I was engaged…to Kyle.

He finally put me down on the ground and saw the saddened look on my face, “What’s wrong?”

“I forgot that Kyle asked me to marry him earlier.” I played around with the fabric of my shirt and felt instant guilt hitting me like a baseball hitting me right smack on the face.

“It’s okay, we’ll figure it out.” He always knew what to do. “For now, i’m your secret boyfriend, okay?”

“Secret?” I laughed, “Are you afraid of actually dating me?” For all I knew, he didn’t even want to be with me. He probably just wanted me for the s-ex.

“I just don’t want you to get in trouble, when is he coming back anyway?” I made a motion with my fingers that he was coming back tomorrow as I sipped on the water that I had originally came over here for. “Perfect.”

He picked me up again as I almost spilled the glass of water and pushed me to the bed where our love was to be shown. “I don’t look…s-exy right now.”

Ryan laughed with that perfect smile of his and started to place sweet kisses and bite marks all over my body, “Baby, you know i’m going to get you na-ked either way.”

The bites all over my body were starting to get to me, it was tingling my special spot and making me want him even more. I arched my back, lifting my hips to him so he can slowly put in fingers at a time comfortably.

“Just give it to me already Ryan, damn it.” The second his finger lifted up to my lips to shush me and control me, a shiver sent down to the spine of my body, making me tremble and ache for wanting this man.

My body was his for his pleasure. He pushed one finger in while at the same time cupping one of my bre-asts and rolling his thumb on my already sensitive nip-ple. “Be patient Scarlet.” How could I be patient when my body wanted this man? He knew all the right spots to touch me.

Just the way he was speaking to me was making me submissive to his demands, but impatient at the wet-ness of how my body was unraveling in his hands.

He caressed my cl-it, making it swollen and even wet-ter than the way he already had me before at the tip of his fingers. “Ryan…” I whined.

“Don’t make me punish you Scarlet.” I excitedly looked at him, being punished didn’t seem to mind me at all. He toyed with my cl-it, rubbing now his thumb on the nub that was really putting my mind in a state of euphoria.

As much as he concentrated on that, it’s as if he learned my motivator was my nip-ples. He guided himself on top of me to slowly let his tongue swirl around on my upright nip-ples and kept on cupping my bre-asts.

I started to feel even dizzier with the way he was controlling his movements. His tongue. His fingers. His scent. Everything was starting to sink in. At that instant I felt a full feeling at the bottom of me where he had shoved his man-hood in my womb. “You’re glowing Scarlet.”

Was I? I didn’t care. All I could think about was the fact that he was going even deeper inside me, fitting all of himself in me to his care. I growled at the intense pleasure that his movements were making me feel.

The friction started to grow in pace, faster, but sensual at the same time, Ryan hadn’t made love me to me this way before. We were always quick to get the tension between us over with, I couldn’t last one minute before he gave me the merciless org-asm I had been dying to feel all over again.

“Yes…Yes…” the org-asm he was building up was getting restless and I didn’t want to get this one over with.

“Rub your cl-it.” I eagerly obeyed his every commands. I loved knowing that I was pleasing Ryan on a sex-ual level to where his satisfaction met mine.

I rubbed my cl-it as demanded in slow, circular motions; the org-asm I had been holding on to was firing up and becoming even more sensitive, that’s when I knew it was going to be big.

“You’re so se-xy Scarlet, c’mon c-um for me.” It’s as if my body knew Ryan was speaking to it. The rough tone of his voice controlled my every emotion and desires as I moaned and screamed as loud as I could to his deep thrusts that awakened the most sensual feeling I’ve ever felt. “Fu-ck, I’ll never get tired of you.”

With that he turned me around on my stomach, laying flat but my hips still at his man-hood level. My knees buckled at the tired limpness, but that didn’t stop me from wanting more. He grabbed his belt that was beside us and tied my hands from behind so I wouldn’t be able to move, like if I had the strength to anyway.

“This won’t take long, you’ve revved me up pretty darn good.” Without any lub-rication he stuck two fingers inside my a-ss and continued to fu-ck me without any hesitation, with such precision.

“Are you sure you’re single?” I giggled, as he rammed deeper and deeper and another org-asm started to build up again.

He lowered his head onto the side of my ear, “Not anymore Scarlet, I’m taken by you.” That made me smile and feel emotionally good inside. To hear that the man I wanted and loved accepted me to be part of him was by far the sexiest thing ever.

“Ah!” Moans escaped my mouth into the open air of the bedroom and Ryan satisfied himself by using my body. The smell of s-ex started to swallow the room as he hissed every time he drilled himself inside of me.

“So tight…it feels fuc-king perfect.”

I blushed at his remark about my natural body, he was close. I could feel it. “Just a little bit more baby.” I didn’t care waiting, my body was tired, but I love pleasing him.

“Fu-ck.” and with that he released himself inside me, knowing that his seed was inside me made me feel like I was a part of him.

He let go of my a-ss and pushed himself out of me, placing a kiss on my back. “Happy?” I smiled at him as I repaid him with a kiss on his lips.

“Love you… Boyfriend.” He sweetly half-smiled and closed his eyes. It was a good thing Kyle wasn’t here. I love this man.

I looked at the time, a little closer to two in the morning, had we been making love for that long?  I looked at my phone that had a blinking red light on the side, I wonder who sent me a message.

I shockingly look at the photo that was on my phone screen.  It seemed burned into my eyes like I was ready to die as of now.  Ryan is behind me giving it to me, my back arched with my wailing scream…I didn’t recognize the email, but I sure as hell recognized that photo.

Sh-it.  Someone is blackmailing me.

Sorry for any mistakes, VOTE please! :)

Chapter Five

I looked over and saw Ryan sleeping peacefully. I didn’t want to wake him up, even though this might be considered an emergency. I looked to my right and saw that the window curtains were not closed; I immediately arose and looked outside to see if I could spot anyone.

Nothing.

I opened the window. A cold breeze had come in this early morning, but nowhere could I see anyone in sight. Someone was here though. I could see the two muddy footsteps that weren’t so clear to make out. I shut the window and made sure to have all the curtains closed around the house.

Who would be sneaking in this late at night to take pictures and blackmail me? How did they even get my information? These are all questions that I needed answered, but I surely did not want to deal with it right now.

I slipped back in bed with Ryan’s t-shirt on, slowly grasping the covers that he was hoarding on his side. I set a kiss on his lips and went back to my side. I’m going to try and get some sleep; I can’t be acting suspicious at a time like this. 


Thankfully it was the weekend. I didn’t feel like going to work, hell, I didn’t even want my business anymore. Could I really give up everything for Ryan? “Morning.”

I was staring at the ceiling and didn’t realize it until Ryan had spoken, “Morning!” I turned to my left side to stare back at him. It was starting to turn into a routine, him waking up na-ked beside me in my bedroom.

“What are you thinking about?” I decided to steer away from letting him know about the picture, I didn’t want to worry him. “You seem pretty pensive.”

It was true. I barely got enough sleep last night with the s-ex and then the worrying. “Just tired, that’s all.”

He got up from the bed and started to stretch, he quickly went inside the restroom. I finally got up from my lazy vacation and changed into my clothes for the day. I wasn’t sure what our plans were, but I think I need to settle things with Kyle before that picture gets out of hand. “Maybe I fuc-ked your brains out of you.” He chuckled.

“Oh gosh, don’t remind me.” I lightened the mood with our comedy breakouts. “Do you want breakfast love?”

“Mm-mm.” He shook his head, “I actually have to get back to the house, I need to open the doors for the new roommate.”

New roommate? I knew that Ms. Willow’s place had extra bedrooms, but I never knew she rented it out to a couple of people at the same time. “Do you know who it is?” I curiously asked.

“Audra?” He responded back while he changed into his clothes that were lying on the floor.

“A girl?” I left the room without saying anything. I started to randomly put things away that I knew I didn’t even have to do. I’m not jealous. I’m not jealous.

Ryan put his hands on my waist behind me, I didn’t even hear him come to the living room, “You have nothing to worry about.”

“You don’t know that. I bet she’s going to be pretty and you’re going to like her more than me.” Silent tears were filling the ends of my face.

Ryan turned me around and kissed me lightly on the lips, “You’re mine remember?”

I nodded my head in agreement, “Mmhmm.” As much as I’d like to think that Ryan was also mine, I knew he was a player. How could no other girl be attracted to him the way he unravels me?

“I’ll be back once I’m done, or do you want to come with me?” He started to grab his things and motioned his fingers in a come hither movement.

I followed right behind him and opened the door.  “I think I’ll come with you”, I pouted as I waited outside for him.

It wasn’t long before he followed with his masculine stride, “You’re such a baby.”

“Am not”, I quickly replied.  “I just get a little bit of green jello.”

“Green jello?  Please don’t tell me you’re trying to say jealous with that cute phrase?” I smiled in front of him and proceeded to keep on walking.

We had passed by the store today, but I was getting so close to already put a ‘gone for the year’ sign as long as Ryan was still going to stay.

The truth was simple though.  He wasn’t going to stay.  Winter was ending and he was almost scheduled to go back home.  To be a Marine.

My saddened persona started to arise from flames as Ryan asked what was wrong, “You’re almost leaving…I just realized that.”

“Yeah, but you can always come with.” He pulled his hand on my chin to bring my face closer to his.

“Oh hey guys”, shouted Pam from across the street.  Ryan and I both backed away from each other like we hadn’t seen the other na-ked already.

“Hey”, I waved back.  This was new with Pam.  When I waved back, she didn’t even acknowledge me; she just kept on smiling at Ryan and not even once looked me in the eye.  That’s odd.

“She’s a nice girl”, Ryan replied, “Too bad she’s gonna be a tight-ass.” I almost instantly choked on my saliva from laughing.

“What the hell are you talking about?” The distance between us closed when we started getting closer to Ms. Willow’s house.

“Just the way she is.  She’s beautiful, smart, but her personality.” I’m guessing something happened when he had obligated himself to go help out at the store.  “Oh that must be Audra’s car.”

I looked up ahead and saw a red Camaro parked outside of Ms. Willow’s property, “That’s a nice car.”  She had to have been from the city, but I’m wondering what’s her story.

“Yeah”, Ryan awed at the beauty in front of him, it’s like he completely missed the girl standing next to the vehicle.

Audra was something else.  She had strawberry-blonde hair, long legs even with the high heels she was wearing, and had the figure of a model.  “Nice to meet you Ryan and…” she gazed upon me looking annoyed that I was in the same lot as them.

“Scarlet”, I pulled up my hand to meet hers halfway and stood there shaking it for a second.

“Well, do show me the place Ryan”, she placed her hand on his and intertwined them as if they were the ones that were a couple.

Ryan knowing that it would bother me fisted his way out of her hands and opened the door to the house.  Man it had been a while since I’ve been here, other than that time where Ryan and I had been a little naughty.

“This is your bedroom Audra”, it was on the opposite side of where Ryan’s bedroom was, that made me happy.

“Awe, so far away from you”, she pouted her lips, “What if I get scared during the night?”  Was this girl for real?  Not only was she hitting on Ryan the entire time we were here, but also she did it without caring that people were in the room with her.

I walked away and decided I should wait outside, I don’t want to intrude.  The wind was blowing hard this winter.  I grasped my jacked and clutched on it harder to prevent the cold freezing my face.  “Ready?”  I glanced beside me and saw Ryan next to me.

“Don’t you want to stay with your new girlfriend?” I murmured.

“Yeah I do… that’s why I asked if you were ready.” He grinned back.  Ugh.  Whatever.  I smacked his arm as hard as I could even though I knew it wouldn’t do much damage.

“You’re a jerk you know.” I started walking ahead of him playfully, “You know you’re going to end up falling for that girl.”

“I’m not a clumsy guy you know”, he continued his sarcastic remarks.

“Okay, so there’s about a month left until you leave, what do you want to do?” I asked promptly.

“Can I do you?”  I blushed, but shoved him again, “Fine, well how about we make the most of this month count?”

“What do you mean?”  My eyes stared at his serious demeanor, but I think I knew what was coming next.

“Let’s leave and do whatever the hell we want to do”, He made a big motion with his arms and started talking about how we can visit the world and try different things that he hadn’t done before either.

“Okay, let’s do it.”  At that moment, he took a long, hard stare at me, waiting for me to come out and embarrass his notion.

“Are you serious?”  He picked me up and held me at my a-ss, “I swear to God I’m going to punish you severely if you’re lying to me Scarlet Ames.”

“I mean it.”  I kissed him hard, “Let’s leave tonight.”

And with that, I had made up my mind.  I would close down my shop, leave my current home, pack everything that I could, and leave with this wonderful man that had me at his fingertips every time he looked at me.

“You’ve just made me a lucky man.”  I happily blushed.  The worst of my nightmares came to awake me, Oh how I hoped I wasn’t wrong in making this decision.

I had gone to the city office to go ahead and speak to Kyle.  I had everything packed already, explained the situation to Pam who was clearly jealous of my situation, and Ryan had already confirmed his payments to Ms. Willow and left stupid Audra.

“Oh Scarlet!  We haven’t seen you here in a while, how have you been?”  Kyle’s secretary had greeted me with such compassion.

“I’m doing great actually, is Kyle around?”  She looked at me with concerning eyes and explained how he was actually in Silverling visiting my dearest friend.  “No worries, I’ll meet them there then.”

I went back to the vehicle where Ryan was waiting patiently, “Everything good?”

“Not really…apparently Kyle is in Silverling with Kathleen”, I continued to wonder what Kyle was doing over there.  “Do you think he knows about us and is telling her about me?”  That wouldn’t be as devastating since Kathleen pretty much knows everything about me.

“She’s one of your best friends, I don’t believe she would hurt you like that.”  Well maybe other things were in store for me.  She did persuade me to continue my relationship with Ryan.

“So officially our road trip begins now!” I exclaimed, excited for the long journey that awaited us.

“Yup, well technically in Silverling, but from there we can take the major highway.”  He placed his hand on my lap and I could tell he was happy.  For the first time since I met him, he was happy .

“What do you want to do first?”  I was way too excited for this road trip, but I’ve been here for my entire life, what do you expect from me?

“We’re going to find a hotel out in Tennessee, sleep for the night and then we’ll leave.”  I stopped gazing outside the window and turned towards him to question where we would go.

“What’s our destination?”  I waited patiently for his answer.

“It’s a surprise.”  I hate surprises.  If there’s anything in life worth waiting for, I didn’t want it.  Surprises were gifts where you didn’t know what to expect, so you don’t know if you should act happy, angry, sad, or any other emotion.  I need time to prepare for the gift.

“You know how much I hate surprises Ryan…” I grabbed one of my bags from the backseat to grab my chips to snack on something.

“I can’t believe you’re hungry already.” I smiled and kept on eating my chips, crunching on every bite louder and louder each time.

I looked at my phone and saw no new texts from Kyle or anyone else, “I eat…a lot.  Just thought you should know that.”

“I figured, those curves don’t fill out themselves.” He winked and grinned at me.

The rest of the way was as amazing as a road trip can get.  I got to hear my pop music while as he wanted to hear his rock, so I had to pull up with it.

Restless hours of talking until we got to Silverling where I would speak to Kyle and end this once and for all.

I went up to Kathleen’s store and immediately went inside her office.  I didn’t bother knocking, I knew he was here, his car was parked outside of the grocery.  Being that it was already close to nine, I didn’t want to take any more of their time.

Ryan had decided to come inside with me and wait outside her office, I pushed open the door and couldn’t believe what I saw in front of me.

Kyle embraced with Kathleen, kissing passionately like it was the first time seeing each other, “Hi.”

They both turned around and were shocked to see Ryan and I there, staring at their open, wide-eyes.  “Scarlet, this isn’t what it looks like.”

“It doesn’t matter.” I hysterically laughed with tears running down my face, “I don’t love you anymore.”

Kathleen looked at me with saddened eyes, “I’m sorry Scarlet…I fell in love, and I figured since you have Ryan, you’d be okay.”

“Okay?” I turned to Ryan who was standing by my side, “I waited for you Kyle.  Waited to see if you even cared about me. And you!” I pointed to Kathleen who was now going behind her desk to hide from all of this drama, “I can’t believe you called me your best friend when you were doing all of this behind my back!”

I intertwined my hands with Ryan’s and I turned back to look at them before I left, “But it’s okay.  Because I love him now, he’s all I need.”

I knew something was going on, but it doesn’t matter anymore.  I got back inside the vehicle with Ryan. I kicked off my shoes and laid my legs on top of the dashboard.  I opened up the bag of chips that I had saved and smiled at Ryan.

This was going to be one hell of a ride.

Sorry for the short chapter and any mistakes there might be!  But I promise next week will be a really good one!  Make sure to comment and vote :) XO, Zed.

Chapter Six

“Okay favorite game!” We were already on the road for six hours and I couldn’t manage to fall asleep yet.

“World of Warcraft”, he squeaked it out, a little embarrassed to admit it, “Hey it’s a cool game.”

“Wow, you are a total dork.” I admitted, “You know what…I think I’m getting a little sleepy now.”

“Finally”, he laughed, “You can talk for hours, maybe I shouldn’t have brought you with me.”

“Jerk!  Honestly I’m such a sleepyhead…I just love being with you.” I started to lower my seat to position it in a comfortable sleeping manner, “I feel like I can talk to you for hours…”

“Have good dreams my little sex kitten.” He said, while I smiled with that last response and knocked out cold.  I don’t even remember getting picked up by Ryan when I woke up, what felt thirty minutes later, but I know it had to have been a while because the sunrise was starting to show on the window beside me.

“Ryan?” I woke up, dressed in my shirt and underwear only and looked to my right side and saw that he was beside me, sleeping like a little boy.  I covered my body with the hotel blankets that were wrinkled by this time, I guess I move a lot when I sleep.

Hmm, I wonder if we arrived in Tennessee now, since that was part of his plan.  I slowly drifted off the bed and looked outside the hotel window, it wasn’t a fancy one, but heck, I wouldn’t want him spending his money on something that we could be using it for something else.  The neon lights were bright, I had never seen a huge city like this before.  We must be in Nashville?

I could see the lights reflecting on the water that seemed to be endless, pink, blue, red, and yellow were beautifully grasping the cold water on this early morning.  Such a shame I didn’t wake up to see the nightlife, I knew those lights would turn off soon since the sun was peeking out.

“Sex kitten you’re awake already?” I turned around and closed the curtains, but left a little light come inside.  I didn’t want to admit it, but I was afraid of being in total darkness.

“Hey…” As much as I had left my old life, this felt weird.  Being in a hotel room, in the middle of a new city, and basically having a new life now.  “Yeah, I guess I slept for a long time, when did we get here?”

“Like ten hours ago.  Get back in bed.” I obeyed him, I could see he was awake to take advantage of my body.  I felt like we couldn’t go two hours without touching each other.  I jumped back on bed, laughing like we were kids again, but then the mood turned into a serious, romantic aura.

“I’m happy I made the right decision…coming here with you.” I took off the ponytail that I had and let my hair down loose, my hair still being straight.  I got on top of him, playing sexy with him with my eyes and slowly rubbing my soft hands on his body, “Now we can be together.”  Forever if he would let me.

He pushed me off, now my back was on the bed, and his body was on top of me, “I’m never going to let you lead.” He took his hand and removed the hair that was on the side of my face and pushed it aside with his fingers, “It’s too much fun controlling you sex kitten.”

I didn’t care.  He could control me however he wanted, I would let this man do anything with my body.  As long as he cared about me of course.

My body didn’t need his fingers, those amazing kisses, or the painful bite-marks he left on my body, it’s as if it knew that he was the one who owned me and it started getting turned on by that sole fact.  “What are you going to do with me Master?”  I enjoyed seeing the pure rush he had in his eyes, his fingers sometimes didn’t know where to go, he was being hasty with me.

“You’re mine Scarlet and I’ll make sure to keep it that way”, I rolled my eyes, how could he ever want to stay with me?  “Did you just roll your eyes at me little girl?”

“Did you just call me little girl?” I laughed as I covered my face with the hands that took in strands of my hair.

“For that you’re going to get punished Scarlet.” He turned me around quickly, with my a-ss facing on the level of his manhood, he pulled my underwear down and gave no command or prior notice.  He just released the already hardened pen-is of his and shoved it deep inside me.

“Ahhh!” I grunted as he pushed in even deeper.  Pure ecstasy couldn’t describe the euphoria of this sex-filled room.  I let out a few tears on the side of my face, but as he lowered his body onto mine, resting his chest on top of my back he proceeded to show me that he cared.

He grabbed ahold of my face with one hand and held himself up by grabbing one of my hanging breasts; he gave me a passionate, sensitive kiss on my lips and let go slowly, “You’re more than what I’ve ever wanted sex kitten, with that being said, I love that you’re so obedient.”

As soothing as his voice sounded, it was so enticing hearing that I was his slave, his to please him whenever he wanted.  I wondered if every other relationship was like this, because Kyle never showed me any of this stuff.  Maybe I was behind on the s-ex education, but I loved this.  And I love him.

I continued to take the amazing pain I was experiencing, feeling a little bit masochistic, but cherishing the fact that every time he rammed his body into me, I could feel the building sensation of an orgasm coming to reward me.  My juices were dripping when he pulled out and then continued to fu-ck me.  He kept smacking my a-ss to excite me just a little bit more and then pulled out right before I was almost going to come undone.  “You as-shole”, I turned around and saw that grin that prohibited the moans from escaping me, “You knew I was close.”

We had been going at it for almost thirty-minutes, as much pleasure was rising up, I wanted my reward! “I want you to su-ck my di-ck.”  I smiled, this I was good at.  I lowered my lips onto the tip of his pen-is and started to lick him, my tongue swirling in every direction trying to hook him onto me.  I opened my mouth a little wider to let him fu-ck me with it.  I tried to take in as much as I could, deep throa-ting to where his di-ck hit the back of my throat.  “Fu-ck, you’re trying to finish me off aren’t you?”  He could see my smirk that was rising on the side of my mouth.

He pulled me off of him and turned me back on my chest laying down on the hotel bed, “Ugh.” I groaned as he pinched my nip-ples to make me feel  too good, “I  love that.”  The love seem to roll off the tip of my tongue.

The next fifteen-minutes were spent with the slapping noise of a-ss hitting his manhood, hard, then it would get rough for a while, but then it would go back to different speeds to make my org-asm reach its potential.  “I can feel your inner walls clenching on me, you’re almost there aren’t you s-ex kitten?”

“Mmhmm”, I managed to say, as I tried to hold my composure, blushing the s-ex on me, “Ahh…” I let go of whatever I could, I didn’t scream, I didn’t get rough with him, this feeling was way too good for that.  I simply fell limp in his strong arms, letting the org-asm rip through my entire body, trembling.  Laying almost motionless.

 He kept ramming his body into me until he got pleased, this time we decided not to wear a condom, so we could both feel the flesh that wasn’t separated by a piece of latex between us.  The feeling was amazing, I couldn’t describe it any other way.  He grunted out whatever remained and I could feel the warm c-um seeping out of my vag-ina.

Weeks ago I wouldn’t have let this sexy man c-um inside of me, but I trusted him with my entire life.  There was no other feeling I could describe it other than me being stupid in love with him.

He fell off my body and I went back to him to lay on his tired body, “So much for a restful morning.” I laughed as I kissed his cheek and rolled over back to my side, “I’m guessing we have a long day ahead of us.”

“Yup, man, you wear me out, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep up with you.” I giggled, he was trying to be nice to me and it was working.

“Shut up.” I shoved him and looked at the time, “Oh my gosh, it’s barely seven in the morning!”

“That’s not really early, in the marines we have to wake up much earlier.” Earlier?  I needed my sleep!  Being a Marine must be challenging at times.

“So are we waking up already…” I questioned him.

“Only if you want to, I’m going to take a shower and get ready though.” Well I don’t want to now be the lazy one here.

“Can I join you?” I asked coyly, “In the shower…”

“Anytime kitten.” He grinned and then pulled me in to get in the bathroom for round two.

“I say we try something new today, like new food, can you do that or do you get disgusted easily?” Ryan asked as we were driving with our bags packed, grabbing some breakfast before we head to the airport.

“I love food!  I will try anything”, I admitted as I kept on looking outside at all the venues and pretty buildings.

“Good.” He answered back at me turning into a Vietnamese restaurant, “Cause I’ve never eaten this type of food before and I don’t want to go in alone..”

I smiled, “I’ll join you!”

We sat down and looked at the breakfast-lunch menu and decided on what we were going to try, “On second thought…maybe we should stick with American food next time.” Ryan kept on making faces at the menu choices.

“No, were in this together remember!” I looked at the menu, hmm, these don’t sound great, but I wouldn’t mind trying it.  Anything with mushroom, onions, and tomatoes I could do, even pasta which was my favorite type of food.

We ended up ordering something we both couldn’t pronounce, but we ate it happily anyway, “So we’re going to the airport after this by the way”, he said.

I looked at him and agreed.  I had already put my store on the real estate market, but I had an interested buyer, Pam herself, so that worked out fine.  Since Kyle and I were really simple people, we didn’t really spend much on a lot of things, I had a whole bunch of money saved up.

I guess it’s a good thing that I never got married with Kyle, we didn’t have to deal with the whole divorce drama.  “Where are we heading to?”

“You seriously can’t take surprises huh?” He chuckled while eating the remainder of his food on his plate, “We’re going to visit the world.”

“Okay, so…we’re going out of the country?” I asked, now almost spitting the root beer I was drinking.

“First stop, Italy.” I was looking at him seriously this time, he’s not serious right?  I mean I’ve always wanted to go, but now that he’s saying it out loud, my imagination is taking over.

“Are you serious?” I almost pushed him off his chair at the restaurant with everyone staring at us this time, “It’s a big commitment, are you sure you’re ready to take on an adventure with me?”

I winked at him, boy did he not know what he was getting himself into.  “I’ll take my chances.” He laughed, as he paid the tab so we can head to the airport.

“I’m so excited!” I went to the restroom really quick and met up with him at the entrance of the restaurant to head to the airport.  I couldn’t help but jump up and down of all the things I could do in Italy.  I can buy new clothes, try their food, participate in their culture.  And the best thing of all, Ryan was going to be by my side the entire time.

“Your ticket mam.” I excitedly handed her my ticket and waited for Ryan who was right behind me.  “Your ticket sir.”

“Promise what ever happens on this trip, we’ll stick together.” He agreed and we sat inside to board.  In my seat I couldn’t help but feel nervous.  I was in this huge airplane, and I know it won’t crash, but there’s always that possibility.

“Don’t worry, just relax.” He smiled at me while he placed his hand on my lap, “Just don’t look out the window until we’re up in the air.”

I nodded my head and closed my eyes as the rumbling of the engines were on and the airplane started moving.  I didn’t want to ruin this trip with this stupid plane ride, so I held onto Ryan’s hand harder, almost squeezing.  “I’m okay.” I admitted to him, even though he could probably tell when I was lying already.

“See, not that bad right?” He asked, after we were already in the air, I looked out to the window and saw clouds all around, it was still a nerve-wrecking feeling being up here.

“Yeah, and it won’t be that bad either when we’re soaring down into the ground”, I smirked.  “So what do you do on a plane ride?”

“You ride in it…” We both laughed, “Uh, I usually fall asleep.”

“No, let’s stay awake, let’s…talk.” I could enjoy his disgusted face any day, “Okay, Okay, I get it.  I’ll let you sleep.”

“You know I didn’t get much sleep this morning”, He winked at me, referring back to our sex-ual rendezvous in the bed.  I blushed almost immediately as he placed his hand on my lap.  I had decided to wear white shorts that accentuated my b-utt with a v-neck pink shirt; I wanted to look my very best for Ryan.  I didn’t want him to think he could do any better…though with my self-esteem so low, I did think he could do better.

“Wow!” I took my suitcase and rolled it beside me, “Look at all the lively people around here.” We got out of the Leonardo Da Vince International Airport to find the taxi driver waiting for us at the end of the street.  Ryan had apparently reserved a hotel room for us at the Deko Rome Hotel which wasn’t too far from where all the attractions were.

“Ti invitiamo a prendere all’hotel Deko Rome?” Stunned, I turned to Ryan whom was communicating with our driver.

Our driver started the car after he put our suitcases in the trunk, “Si no problema.”

“Grazie.” I shoved Ryan, who was appearing to have a lot of fun with this.

“And when were you going to tell me that you knew Italian all along?” I questioned him, obviously there were still things I needed to learn from him.

“I took a few classes when I was almost finishing my first couple of years as a marine, I’ve always wanted to come to Italy and visit.” Hmm, so this is why he picked this place first.

I kissed his cheek, “Well, I picked this up at the airport, because I didn’t want to sound dumb, but I guess I already have my translator with me.” I pointed at the Italian translation dictionary that I bought at the gift shop.  “I already know how to say ‘where are the restrooms’.” I nodded with my nose up in the air like an important person.

“Dovo sono le toilette?  It’s a common phrase, but no worries, I’ll ask for you.” He gave me a pat on my lap and was pointing out landmarks along the way.  It was about a forty-minute drive when we got to the hotel, but man I was already tired!

Ryan checked in for us and we got ourselves settled in this cute hotel that was at the corner of the street in a tan-like building.  “Okay, so I’ve arranged for us to rent a scooter for the time that we’re here, are you okay with that?”

“Uh, yeah! I’m up for anything, you know that.” I dropped off my stuff in our room and enjoyed the view of the cars and scooters passing by.  You could automatically see which people were tourists and who actually lived here in Rome.

“Did you know that Rome is the eternal city?” I looked back at Ryan who closed the door behind him of our room, “It’s one of the reasons why I wanted to come here.”

“That’s lovely, I didn’t know that.”

“Hey do you want to visit the colosseum, it’s not that far from here, and we can try out this whole scooter thing.” I could see he looked happy for once.  But actually happy.  I was happy too.  Being here with him, both of us knowing our feelings with each other, but not rushing things into commitments.

Though in the back of my head, I knew I wanted to be with him.   Forever .

“Yeah, I’d love to.”  I followed behind to where he revealed the infamous scooter he rented, “I have to get on this thing…do you know how to drive it?” I laughed.

“Yeah, it’s common sense.” I looked at him again.

“Oh gosh, please tell me you’ve driven one of these before.” I got on the back seat where I was holding onto Ryan’s waist.

He turned it on and headed straight for the street, I closed my eyes, not wanting to see us fail miserably.  I could feel the wind rushing through my hair, I quickly opened my eyes and saw that we were gracefully riding around the country of Italy in the city of Rome.  “Wow!” I exclaimed, as I held on tighter onto Ryan.

“Pretty cool huh.” I managed to hear Ryan through the noise and wind.  I could feel my phone buzzing through my purse beside me.

We finally got to the Colosseum and I took out my phone to check who it was.   Scarlet, please take me back, I don’t want to lose you.  Ryan is a bad guy trust me, have you even asked him about his wife?

His wife?  Ryan is married?  I got off the scooter and stared at Ryan who was happily pointing out at the colosseum and how in ancient times they used it for fighting.  I knew all that stuff already, but I wanted to make him feel like he knew more than me.  Should I ask him if he’s married?

I quickly texted back Kyle,  You and I will never be together Kyle, please get that in your head.  And please leave Ryan out of this.  I was tempted to ask him what he meant by his last statement, but I didn’t want to get into a stickier situation.  “What do you think?”

I looked at Ryan who pulled me closer in for a smooch, “Your driving skills are actually pretty good on a scooter love.”  I smiled at him, still curious and worried that he could be taken.  Especially being taken away from me, but mostly because I would be the other woman.

I knew there had to be something about him.  “Who are you texting?” He asked me while I put my phone away and set it back into my purse.

“Just Kyle.”  We continued walking towards the colosseum and I could tell he didn’t like the sound of that.  “He wants me to take him back, but I told him that would never happen.”  He looked pleased with my answer.  Imagine if I would ask him about his wife, I bet his face would turn upside-down.

“That guy needs to understand that you’re my girl.” He grabbed me by the waist to hug me, but all I could keep thinking was that he could be someone else’s.

I held onto his hand, “Yeah, I know.”  We’ll see where everything ends up going.

Hey guys, so I finally got my inspiration for writing, but man i’m having writer’s block for this story.  Now that she has the guy, what else could happen?  Lol, leave comments on your ideas and if you want to get even more personal, send me a private message.  Hope you enjoyed the story though it was actually a little PG-13 haha, thanks for reading.

XO, Zed.

Chapter Seven

“Questo tortellini e incredibile, possiamo avere ancora un po ’di vino per favore, grazie!” Ryan smoothed his italian out like he knew it back and forth.  I was beginning to become jealous of him, maybe I should’ve taken that french class in high school, at least I could’ve known more than one language.

“I’m thinking you’re flirting with that waitress”, I smiled as I kept on eating my spaghetti, I figured this would be the best choice since I’ve eaten that before and I love spaghetti anywhere, anytime.

“You don’t have to be worried Scarlet, I just told her the food tasted good and if she could bring more wine for us.”  He kept on eating his tortellini con “la panna” and drank whatever he had left from his wine.

I took a sip from mine, “So the colosseum was pretty amazing, I didn’t expect for it to be  that  big.”  I continued eating my spaghetti as I noticed there were a lot of couples here.  I guess Italy was a hot spot for romance, “I have to ask you something.”

Oh no, here’s the big question I’ve been dying to ask him.  Ever since Kyle texted me three hours ago I couldn’t even think of anything else but the fact that Ryan could have a wife.

“Sure what is it?”  The waitress had already refilled our wine and I drank the entire thing before asking what I needed to.  “Woah, slow it down there girl.”

“Can we grab the check already?” He never spoke about his past life with me and I was worried that if I treaded too close, he could leave.  I didn’t want to insult him by asking, but I needed to know before I was too attached to him.

“Okay.” He signaled the waitress so he could pay already.  This man never gets nervous, but I could tell that he knew I was hiding something from him.

We took the scooter to the Villa Borghese Gardens, because that was his next place to go on his itinerary.  “Wow, this place is amazing!”  I got off and ran to the nearby bush that had different flowers on them.

“Scarlet, tell me what’s bothering you.”  That was an order from my marine, so I had to answer.  I’ve come to learn that when he asks a question, I should probably just get it over with.  It was an understanding in our communication, so it went both ways.

“Did you have a wife?” I blurted it out as I sat down on a bench before we entered the gardens.  “That’s what Kyle texted me.  I don’t know if he had a background check on your or something, but that’s what happened.  And i’m kind of freaking out, because you never told me anything of your past. And…”

“Scarlet, stop.” I shut my mouth, because I knew I didn’t want to make a scene, especially since I was having a major freakout session.  Especially at a beautiful place like this, I just want to get everything out already.  Ryan looked at me, placed his hands on my shoulder and kissed me before he was going to tell me the truth, or so I thought.  He sat down next to me, “I can’t talk about that right now.”

“Okay.” I blurted out, almost impulsively.

“Scarlet…” I looked at him with my saddened eyes, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you.  It was just a rough relationship and I don’t like talking about her.”  Her.  So there is someone else.  I knew it, but I didn’t want to believe it.

“I don’t want to be dating you if there is someone else who rightfully has their claim on you.” I angrily answered back.  “I don’t want to be second.  Not to anyone ever again.”

“You’re never going to be second in my book sweetie, just calm down, and let’s enjoy this trip.”  He stood up and held his hand out so I can reach out and grab it, “I will tell you when the time is right.”

The hell with it.  I didn’t want to ruin this trip, especially after we’re just barely starting our relationship, “So am I still considered your girlfriend?”  I asked, almost laughing.

“Of course you are!” He kissed me on the lips, dominating, people around us could tell that there was love between us.  “I  love you Scarlet, and nothing or nobody is going to change that.”

I decided that I was going to wait for him to tell me about his past at the right time.  I didn’t like it and I didn’t want to agree to it, but I do love him too.  The least I could do is respect his decision.  “Hey, I never got to thank you for fighting for our country.”

He laughed, “Shut up dork.”

“I was just thinking about it”, I continued to make him laugh, “Back at the colosseum when people used to fight to the death.  I’m glad I never had to deal with that.”

We continued walking down a path that led us to these beautiful flowers that I just had to touch, “You break, you buy”, he said with a straight face.

I gave him a shrug, “Whatever, you’ll pay for it then.”  We were holding hands like a couple, amongst other family members and couples here in Italy.  This was such a beautiful place, I never want to leave.

“It’s nice huh?”  I looked at him with a blank face, I wasn’t even paying attention to his emotions right now.  “This country.”

“Yeah, it really is.”  I held onto his hand tigher, making sure he knew that I cared about him a lot.  “Ryan, tell me a secret, one that nobody knows.”

“Hmm, this sounds like a good game.”  We kept on walking past big bushes, small ones, and ones filled with roses.  “The reason why I chose Italy, is because I always told myself I wanted to come here when I was stationed in Afghanistan.”

My eyes were wide open now.  He never spoke about Afghanistan or the reason why the Marines had told him he needed a break, “Well, that was such a great idea, cause now I get to be here in this beautiful place with a such a handsome man.”  I could tell his face was flushed.

“Have I ever told you how awesome you are?”  I laughed, I knew he was trying to be sarcastic again.

“Uh, no actually you haven’t, so I’ll take my compliment now please”, I held out my hand in front of him with my palm extended and closed my eyes, letting him guide my steps.

Suddenly I felt a light, but pointy object in my palm.  I quickly open my eyes and gasp at the beautiful ring that was in my hand right now.  “Scarlet.”  Ryan faced himself towards me, his eyes on mine, as if we were the only ones in the Villa Borghese Gardens.

“Ryan what is this?” I looked at the emerald stone placed on a silver band that had smaller emerald stones around the entire ring.  “Ths is…beautiful.”

“It’s a promise ring.”  He grabbed the ring and started placing it on my right hand on the ring finger.  “I want to promise you that I’m in this with you.  I won’t leave you.  You have changed my way of thinking and I don’t want to be that other person I used to when I left to Afghanistan and came back.  I want to be as close to perfect to being the best boyfriend I can be.  I promise that I will take care of you Scarlet.  Without you, I don’t know what I would do.”

Tears had filled my eyes and were trickling down my face, “Oh Ryan!”  I hugged him after he put the ring on my finger.  This was the greatest thing he had done yet, “I love you, I love you Ryan!”

“I love you too Scarlet”, he said smiling, as he kept hugging me tighter, slightly picking up my tiny body from the floor.  We stayed there for about two minutes hugging.  I loved him so much, I didn’t want to stop just yet, but I knew we were in this together now.

“Thank you so much Ryan.”  He could tell I was being sincere by the way I was looking at him.  Just being with him made me feel wonderful and I knew that this was something really special.  “I never want to leave this place.”

“Well we have to someday”, I laughed, of course, I knew that.  “I know what you mean though.”

We had gotten back to the hotel to relax before heading out for more adventure.  “You think I’m pretty right?” I asked him as we entered out room and I was looking at myself in the mirror.  “I feel like I’m beginning to get fat in my mid-section region.”

“You’re such a dork”, he laughed, “I don’t think the word fat exists in your life.”

“Okay, obviously you’re being nice.” I lowered my shirt and sat on the bed, “I just want you to think that I’ll always be pretty.”

“Well I would love to have sex with you if you were fat”, he got closer to me now on the bed beside me, “In fact, I would love a little more than just sex.”  With that, he kissed my neck, placing sweet kisses all over.

“Hmm, I’m beginning to think you planned this all out.” His voice was muffled by the kissing on my body, but I knew he was sidetracked already.

“Ryan…” My voice started to become all jittery and felt studdered, “Why are you so good at that?”

In less than five minutes both of our clothing pieces were off, “Now show me this mid-section of fat that you were telling me about earlier.”

“Shut up and just kiss me.” He lowered his lips onto mine and kissed me hard, dominating and silencing any other noises I wanted to make.

He lowered his lips onto the base of my nip-ples and started sucking on them, slowly, then a little bit more forceful.  My moans were finally escaping my mouth as he kept on doing his job right.

I got on top of him this time kissing him harder, biting every once in a while so I could lower myself onto him.

He quickly turned me back around, “You know how I feel about you taking control.”

“Ugh, Ryan, come on!” I giggled, so I could let him just take control.  “Fine.” I pouted.

“Don’t pout”, he forced himself in, letting out a scream, but oh-so-wonderful feeling.  “You like that?”

“Yes sir”, I held onto his broad shoulders, “I love your muscles.” I smiled as he kept pushing inside me, tearing the insides of whatever was left.

“Turn around”, he ordered and I quickly obeyed.

“What are you going to do to me master?” I played the part perfectly.  I knew that my voice turned him on a lot.  “I want all of you.”

“You’re going to get all of me baby.”  He pushed in deep in my womb, I could feel the fullness of him, and my insides swallowing him slowly.  Every push signified a confession of his love for me.  As cheesy as it sounds, this man knew how to please me, and that was the important part.  “Ah, F-uck.”

“I could tell you’re liking this…You’re slowing down huh?” He jammed in hard in one full thrust, “Ahh, jerk!”

“That’s what you get for not shutting up and just enjoying the pleasure I’m giving you.” I giggled, I knew these games were going to get intense.  With that being said, he lowered his head onto my neck, and bit me slightly.

“Mmm”, That was the best feeling ever, having his teeth digging into my skin while he was still fuc-king me.  “Don’t touch that spot…”  I could feel my body limping, he had lowered his head onto the right side of my body where if any sensation was felt, my body gave up.

“I know it makes you weak.” I kept on giggling, that spot gave me a feeling that was the best, but it also made me giggle like I was a twelve-year old kid again.

“You’re such a jerk, you know I hate it when that happens”, I could feel him taking advantage of the situation and inserting a toy inside my an-al region that only made the fullness feel even better.

“You know you love it.”  The motion of the toy and his man-hood probably made the scenario a little bit hotter, I could feel the sweat of everything we were putting in to this s-ex routine.

“Oh gosh, Ryan, I’m close.”

“I could feel you baby, don’t worry, I’ll get you there.” This time, he went full-speed and full-strength.  He used one of his strong hands to grab my a-ss and push in deeper while using the toy for his and my advantage with the other hand.  “How do you feel Scarlet?”

“Like..Like…Like i’m going to explode!”  I couldn’t even finish the sentence until he was already rewarding me with tons of kisses on my lips for the amazing feeling we both had felt.  I had let out my inner-woman and he let his seed seep out of me like he owned me.

“I will never get tired of that a-ss darling.”  I knew he meant that.  His body was tired on top of mine, but this man was ready for round two.

“You’re such a guy”, I laughed.  He placed a dominating kiss onto my lips and smacked my a-ss, “Fine, I guess we’ll have s-ex again.”

“You guess?  Oh honey, I wasn’t giving you a choice.” He smirked, “Now pass me the lubri-cant.”

“All I’m saying is, when did you get the time to learn Italian?” We were at dinner in a beautiful restaurant, it seemed family-owned, but we were playing a game of truth.

“I’m being serious Scarlet, I bought Rosetta Stone and learned it while I was at base.” I laughed at his answer, he was so cute.  “Okay, now, let’s get deeper.”

“What do you mean?” I continued eating my food as I looked back up at him, “You mean ask serious questions?”

“Yeah.” I looked up at him again, I don’t want to ask the  wrong question.  “I’ll be fine, I’m ready.”

I took a big sip of my wine, “Okay…Were you married?”

“Yes.” He took a sip from his wine now, I guess I was making him nervous.  “Now my turn to ask a question, why didn’t you marry Kyle?”

“Wait, but I wasn’t finished…” 

“You only get one question, so you gotta make it count.” Ugh, this man was amazing, but sometimes he did annoy me.

“Fine.  We never got married, because he always used the excuse that work was too busy, so I kept on waiting…eventually, I told myself that it was never going to happen.”  There was a silence on our table until the waiter came back to fill our drinks.  “Why aren’t you with this girl anymore?”

“We had a difficult relationship, it was always really hard to be with her.  We would cheat on each other, her more than I did.  When we finally got divorced, it was the letters I received from the mail when I was stationed in Afghanistan…I wanted to kill myself.”  Tears were filling up my eyes, I knew that this probably wasn’t the time to ask this question.

“Ryan, I’m so sorry.” I cared about him.  I would do anything for him and there’s no reason why he doesn’t deserve an amazing girl by his side.  Sometimes I feel like I can’t even fill those shoes.

“Don’t worry about it, I’m fine now.  That’s the reason why I was sent here though, to get some time off.  I have to warn you though, she’s going to try to ruin this relationship, i’m sure of it once she hears that I’ve moved on.”  Who is this girl?  Why would anyone do such a thing?

“What’s her name if you don’t mind me asking?”

“Ira.”

“Well this Ira girl is not going to hurt you anymore, now you have me, okay?” I lifted his spirits up, but he was trying to ‘tough’ about it.  “Let’s get out of here.”

We paid for the check and took our scooter out for a spin again.  We roamed around this beautiful country and found a deserted spot to comfort each other.  “Why don’t we have a little fun here?” I winked.

“You’re crazy.  I love it.”

“I have to tell you again…I love my ring, thank you for the promise Ryan.” My eyes were twinkling in the moonlight.  I never wanted to leave his sider, ever.

“Get over here”, he pulled me in for a passionate kiss, one that meant there weren’t any lies in our relationship.

“Ryan, I love you, you make me so happy”, I hugged him tight, like if I was going to lose him, but he loves me too, I can feel it.

“Ah, Scarlet, trust me, I love you so much.” He pulled me in tigher, “You’re the one that makes me  happy.”

Chapter Eight

“Seriously, I don’t even know why we even try to be spontaneous or romantic, you know we’d be happy staying in a hotel room all day”, I laughed when we were back at our room passing the time by.

“Yeah, but I wanted to take you somewhere special”, He started playing with my hair, intertwining the strands between his fingers.

I turned my head so I could face his, “Thanks for telling me about your past…I know that musn’t have been easy.”

I could tell he didn’t want to talk about it again, but maybe telling the story more wouldn’t help to relieve that stress on him, “It’s just her.”

“Honestly, what did she do so wrong?” He kept on playing with my hair while we were laying in bed, listening to some cooking show in Italian that was sparking my taste buds again.

“Ira is the worst human being I’ve ever met”, He stood up and put his back against the headboard, “She cheated on me, lied to me, convinced me of even bigger lies…she convinced me that we had a child all along when I was in Afghanistan.”

“Why would she say something like that?” I could see the hurt in his eyes, this man was displaying anger that only someone who was really pissed off could.

“We met in high school, everything didn’t feel right, but we continued the relationship.  On and off, we eventually decided we could stay with each other and got married about two years later.  When I deployed, she couldn’t handle the loneliness and convinced me that I shouldn’t have done this to her, that it was my fault why she couldn’t have a great life.”

“You know that’s not true Ryan, she was just saying it to hurt you.” I placed my hands onto his, showing him that I was here for him.

He let out a big sigh and continued his story about Ira, “Like I told you yesterday, she wrote to me saying she was pregnant three months after I left; although our relationship was poison, I wanted to stay there for my child.  Her letters seemed to get cryptic every time, that’s when I got the divorce papers in the mail.”

“Do you know where she is now?”

“I don’t care about her, she’s stupid.  I tried having relationships after her and she would come and destroy them one by one.”

I started getting a little nervous, “You think she’s going to try to destroy us too?”

“Oh, I know she’s going to whether contact me or randomly meet you someplace and try to convince you of lies.  Whatever she says, don’t ever believe it.”

This could be taken part of a movie, this woman was willing to go that far to be with Ryan?  Then why would she be so mean while they were married?  “Do you still love her?”

“I hate her, you don’t have to worry about me ever wanting to be with her Scarlet.” He kissed my forehead, “You’re the only one for me.”

“Love you”, I smiled at him, while he repeated the same words back to me.

“So where would you like to go next on our spontaneous travels?”

“What do you mean dork?” I laughed, as I cuddled next to him.

He turned on his side to face me, “Well…we’re in Italy…you think you’re up for another country?”

“Another one?” My eyes were twinkling with excitment, “You have to be kidding.”

“I don’t have a lot of time, so I want to visit all the places I can before I go back.” Wow, I don’t think I’ve even realized that Ryan would have to be leaving soon.  I don’t want him to go.

“Do you even know any other languages?” 

“I don’t need to know, I know body languages.” I could tell he was getting closer to me, slowly rubbing his hands all over my body.

“You are too funny…trying to get into my pants by seducing me.” I turned around to face the window now, I was going to play hard to get.

“You know you can’t resist me”, he started kissing my shoulders, leading it down to the base of my neck. Mmm, that felt good.

“Okay, we are so not gonna go to sleep early if you keep doing that.” I could tell he was smiling, underneath the surface though, I knew I wanted to know why Ira did all of that.

“Fine, I’ll let you sleep for tonight.” We got under the covers and saved our energy for the next day.  A new country.

We arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Athens, Greece, “Oh my gosh…” I was stunned by the beautiful scenery that I knew would be able to be seen from our hotel room.  “This is like a dream come true.”

Ryan looked over to me, “I had to get the best hotel around here, since apparently we’re going to be staying in all day.”

I shook my head, “Um, I don’t think so.  This place is asking for us to go on an adventure.” I pointed at the mountains and ruins that were in the near distance.

“Oh, so when it’s convenient for you, now you don’t want to stay at the hotel”, he winked at me and then hugged me.  He checked us in at the hotel and we moved our things to the room.  “I heard this hotel also has an indoor pool, you think you’re up for some skinny dipping later on?”

“Shut up!” I held my head back as I laughed, “I’m not that crazy…there are kids around here Ryan.”

“Mmhm, not the first excuse I’ve heard from you already”, we got to our our hotel room number 824, “We’re at the top baby.”

“I can be on top”, I winked back at him, even though I was just messing around.

“You know I don’t like that.” He smiled as he opened the room.  Wow, this could literally be coming from a magazine.  We had our own balcony, a marble shower, a huge king bed, and a view that you could die for.

“You outdid yourself this time”, I smacked his butt and placed my suitcase on the floor and ran to the the window.  “Look at this view.”

“Yeah, you can see all the attractions we’re probably going to visit later on.”

“Uh, probably?” I laughed, “We’re going now!”

“You don’t even know where to go Scarlet”, he got behind me at the window, “But I’m sure you don’t mind getting lost.”

I turned around to face him, “No I don’t.” I kissed him hard and started changing into some shorts to fit the weather.  He took out his sunglasses from his suitcase and put them on also.

“Ready?” He smiled and took my hand, “I wonder if there’s another scooter we can rent.”

“Oh gosh no, so you can ram us into some car?”

“That was one time.”

“And the last!” I giggled and we left to the front desk to catch some sort of transportation.

We ended up using the public transportation to go visit the Acropolis, which apparently meant ‘Upper City’ back in the old days of Athens, “Acropolis next stop.”

“Wow, you can already see the ruins from here”, I had my face glued to the window, “How long is the tour?”

“However long you want to take there, the tour is optional.” I could tell that Ryan was on his phone emailing someone back.  I hope it’s not the Marines telling him he needs to go back already, I’m not ready for him to leave yet.

“Hey I just wanted to tell you, that I’m glad you’re the one here with me on this awesome adventure.” I put hand out on his, slowly grasping his fingers to match mine.

“Me too”, he smiled and then kissed my cheek quickly, “What do you think you’ll want to do after this?”

“Well… we do have to try out our new bed”, I could see his eyes got bigger, “Since you know… I’m pretty tired from that airplane ride to here.”

“You got me excited there for a second.”

“Well, we can have fun too”, I giggled.

“Back when the Persians destroyed the older temple, the construction of the new one was finally constructed and finished in 432 BC.” The tour guide was pointing at the reconstruction part and explaining what they used the Acropolis for.  “Mostly served as a temple, but it was used for other things as well too.”

“You want to go explore on our own for a little bit?” Ryan took my hand and guided us away from the group so we could cherish this moment on our own.  “So far, what do you think of this trip?”

“I’m thinking it’s going pretty well right?” It was random that he was asking me basic questions, it seemed as though he had something else going on in his head.  “Everything okay?”

I know that he was on his phone earlier, so it could be the Marines, Ira, or something else.  “Yeah, just a little annoyed.”

“What’s going on?” We were watching our step with the rocks and stones with the Acropolis.  This sight was just breathtaking, it’s such a shame that we’re always having a serious discussion when we’re on these tours.

“Just got an email from the Marines, they might cut our trip time down.” He could see the disappointed look on my face, I knew it had to be that, “Hey, don’t worry, I hope you’re going to come with me back home.”

“You have a house?” Crazy that I never even asked that question before.

“Yeah, well I don’t like living on base, they’re assholes there.” 

“So I’m coming back with you…” I smiled, “I thought we weren’t much of anything”, I joked.

“Mmhm, that’s why I didn’t give you a promise ring or anything”, He smacked my ass, “Don’t be playing games with me or else I’m really going to give you something to beg for.”

“Talking about that..I think I’m ready for you, we should head back to our wonderful hotel.” I winked at him and we were able to catch the next public transportation back to our hotel.

Back at the hotel we were able to squeeze in a few kisses here and there, both willing to give in to each other pretty easily.

“Let me help you out of this my lady”, I laughed and let him take off my top shirt before taking off my bra and underwear.

I jumped onto him, holding myself onto him by straddling him, “I love you so much Ryan.”

“So this is why you left me, huh?” All of a sudden I turned around and quickly grabbed my shirt to cover myself.  Stood there before me was a young woman around my age dressed in a skimpy dress with high heels.

“Ira what the hell are you doing here?”

“Ira?” I couldn’t believe she traveled thousands of miles just to look for Ryan, what is the deal with this? “Please tell me this isn’t the same Ira you were talking about earlier.”

Make sure to vote and comment :) And this one is short, because lots of crazy things are going to happen soon. XO, Zed.

Chapter Nine

“Ira, what the hell are you doing here?”

“Seriously, that’s all you have to say after I traveled for almost an entire day for you?” Ira set her bag down and was watching my every move.  I quickly made sure to put all of my clothes so I wouldn’t be naked at this embarrassing moment in my life.

Ryan whom was only half-naked walked over to her to try and make her stand up, “You need to get out of here immediately before I call security.”

“But Ryan”, she gave him a pouty look and started to touch his muscular arm, unfortunately he didn’t have time to put his shirt back on, “I miss you.”

“I need you to leave and I will call you once I’m ready.” Ryan had that effect on women, because she took her things and walked out like nothing happened.

“Umm, what the hell?”  I approached the bed and calmly sat down; I was furious, but I’m sure he had more to say at this moment than I did.  “I mean you told me she would do something crazy, I just didn’t think it would be this.”

“I’m telling you, she finds ways to make my life a living hell”, Ryan went to the door and locked the door to where she wasn’t able to come inside.  “Scarlet, I am so, so, so sorry.”

He was being sincere, but I really wanted to know how she even found out we were here, “Where do you think she is going to go?”

“Probably get a hotel somewhere around here, I don’t think she knows anyone here in this country.” His eyes shuffled a bit; he went to the refrigerator and poured himself a glass of whiskey and drank it all in one sip.  “Ira…what the f-ck does she want?”

“Maybe she really does want to be with you again…” after hearing myself say that out loud, it took me to a place of reality.  He had a history with her, I didn’t.  I mean, yeah, I’m a winter fling, but maybe he wasn’t serious about me.

“Don’t overthink this Scarlet, I don’t want your mind going there”, wow, he really did know me pretty well.  “We will figure this out, okay?”

“What’s there to figure out, I’m sure something crazy happened and she probably needs you at a time like this.”

“Yeah, maybe you’re right.” I didn’t want to be right though. I could feel my blood boiling and tears starting to build itself a place around my eyes.

“You should go to her.” I knew that my emotions were starting to get the best of me; I was only pushing him away, because I knew that they would probably get back together.

Ryan walked over to me and kissed me deeply, “You have nothing to worry about, I can see that look in your eyes.”

“I’m fine, Ryan.” I lowered my head so he couldn’t see the tears that were going to swallow me whole.

“I know you’re not and you have every right to be, okay? I need you to be strong, we can get through this.” Even at a time like this, he knew all the right words to say.  “I am going to go down to the lobby and just talk to her.  Go out, do some shopping, but I don’t want you to think about any of this.”

“Okay…”, How could I not be worried? Ryan and Ira together… especially in a beautiful place like this.  “Can you just please tell me as soon as possible if you’re going to get back together with her?  I want you to be upfront about it and not be a coward.”

Ryan came back to sit down next to me and wiped the new tear that was flowing down my face, “Scarlet.” He kissed me again, making me savor every emotion and love him more than what I felt right now, “I will not get back with that demon-lady.  I do have to admit though.  She is going to test this relationship to the fullest extent and I have no idea what she’s going to do, but I want you to know that I love you so much.”

I shuffled my head up and down in agreement, “I love you too, Ryan.” I looked down to the beautiful, emerald promise ring he had given me a couple of days ago.  Even if he were to leave, I would have this beauty to remind me of the wonderful memories I’ve spent with this man.

“I’ll be back tonight and I will let you know what’s going to happen, but by the looks of it, we might have to cut our vacation early and head back to my house.” What a bummer. All of a sudden Ira tries to sneak herself back into Ryan’s life, especially at a time where we were confessing our love for each other.

I’m being selfish though.  What if there’s something serious that happened with her?  Maybe Ryan is the only person to make it better, “I’ll be here tonight.” I smiled so he could know that I was going to be okay.

With that, Ryan took his hotel key and left the room.  How crazy how in just a few seconds I could feel completely alone.  Kyle never made me feel this way…alone.  He pushed me away, yes, but he didn’t have a past where some crazy ex-girlfriend would come back running into his life.  Though he did sleep with my best friend, so that’s punishment enough for me.

I took my hand and wiped the tears off my face and headed to the bathroom to fix my make-up. Unfortunately since we packed quickly, I accidentally bought the non-waterproof mascara that made me look like a dying witch with the black streaks running down.

“Ugh Scarlet, pull yourself together.” I took one hard look in the mirror and didn’t see myself.  My hair was messy,which is the result of the almost-sex we just had, but the mascara wore me down, my eyes looked a little puffed up with the crying, and the most important thing was that I didn’t look confident.

Ira can take one look at me and take me down quickly.  It looks like I have no fight to put up for and that was simply not true!  “I am a strong woman and I love Ryan.”  Nobody, especially Ira, is going to mess with my relationship.  It’s been a long time since I’ve been happy and I will not let her ruin this.

I grabbed my purse, hotel key, put on my shoes after I fixed myself up and headed out the door.  I wonder if Ryan and Ira were still here at the hotel, but I’m sure he left already.  Okay, no bad thoughts.  He’s just talking to her.  I sure do hope that’s the only thing he’s doing.

Ryan

Inside the taxi-cab I knew Ira could feel the tension and anger I had for her at the moment.  She placed her hand on my thigh, “Get your hand off of me, Ira.”

“Sweetie, why are you being so tense with me right now?”  I didn’t want to make a scene with her at this moment, not in front of this man who’s driving us to a more neutral zone.

“I need you to be quiet until we arrive at our destination in about ten minutes.  Can you comprehend that Ira?”  She took her hand off and placed it back at her lap.  The shuffling of her hands were annoying me; I wasn’t sure if she was nervous or upset.

I paid the taxi-cab and got out through the opposite side of her to where I could gather my clearest moments right now.  “Look sweetie, I know what I’m doing right now isn’t right…but I am doing everything with the best intentions.”

She had already walked over to my side to where we could just walk alongside the beach; I figured this could be the best location to where she could get some clarity.  I really wished I was here with Scarlet though, my hands running through her amazing figure that accentuated her curves in a bikini.  Right now I had to focus, on this venomous snake.

“You still have not answered my questions since you’ve gotten here.  What. Are. You. Doing. Here.” The pauses in between those words and syllables could only refer to the frustration of her being here.

“I already told you Ryan. I miss you…”

“Cut the bullsh-t. I know for once that you’re not here to have one last romantic rendezvous with me, Ira.” She started shuffling her fingers again, “Cut that out also.”

“I’m sorry. I know these little things annoy you.” She sat down on the sand in the dress that seemed a little too fancy for the occasion, “The truth is, I need you.”

“What do you mean you need me? That’s not what you said when you did the sh-t that you did to me in our relationship.” I started pacing back and forth to prevent from shouting any louder at her.  My emotions were getting the best of me; I wish she would just leave me alone.  Once and for all.

“I can’t stop thinking about you. Every single time I am in a new relationship all I can think about is you.”

“Oh, that’s nice. You’re f-cking some other a-shole and you’re thinking about me.” I chuckled at the stupidity in all of this.

“Ryan, stop, don’t be like that.” What else could I say to her? That I’m ready to take her back. I’m not going to put up with her stupid games anymore.

I started to pace again, in a way it was calming my nerves, “You are not good for me, Ira. You destroyed every ounce of trust I have in people, I can’t be in a relationship without doubting the other person in betraying me, and I hate that I want to simply f-ck you to ruin your life.”

“So f-ck me then, is that what you want? I want you Ryan, let’s do it here on the beach, just like old times.” She started to slip down one strap of her dress to prove to me that she was willing to do whatever it took.

“Ira, stop embarrassing yourself.” I was not going to hurt Scarlet like Ira expected me to.  She stopped pulling her dress down and stood up before me, “What the hell do you want?”

“I want you to take me back.” She stood just a few inches from my lips, “I want you to give me another chance.”

“I gave you that when we got married and you’re not going to fool me once again.” I started to walk away so I could call another cab to pick me up, it was getting too late already.

She ran up to me to pull me back in, “Please Ryan… I need you.” It was fun seeing her deteriorating right before me.  “Please.”

Her tears meant nothing to me, even though this was fun to watch, I knew her games weren’t over, “Goodbye.”  I ended up catching a ride with another bystander whom by some luck was also going back to the same hotel I was staying at.

She’s not going to do this to me again, not with all the bullsh-t she put me through.

Scarlet

All this shopping was tiring and I think I might’ve overspent.  The nerves was getting to me.  All I could keep on thinking was Ryan having se-x with Ira at this moment.  

I heard the key swiped and the door opening, in came Ryan.  “Ryan!” I ran up to him while dropping all the shopping bags and kissed him on his lips.  “I missed you.”

“Me too.” Oh no, he didn’t look content.  Is he going to leave me now?  “I’m sorry, I had a rough night.”

“What happened?” I started to put the bags into its place and sat down on the bar so I could eat something from all the running around, “Are you hungry? I can fix you up something.”

“Hey, get over here.” I could see the smile in his eyes, it was the same look he gave me when he wanted something else.  “We never got to finish our fun.”

“Mmm, I like the way you think”, I winked at my marine and started to walk over seductively.  “I hope you’re ready for some lazy se-x, because I walked all around Rome today.”

He started to show his finger in a come-hither motion and took off his shirt to get ready for me, “I’ve missed you so much today too, baby.”

“Oh really, sounds like you had a very,  very , tough day.” As I walked over, I was already in my underclothes.  I ran to him and straddled his lap.

He turned me around, where my back was on our king-sized bed, and positioned me to where my stomach was closer to his face, “I don’t know why, but I wanted to do this ever since I got back.” He started to place small kisses on my stomach leading down to my nape, “Are you ready for this?”

Ready? I’m sure the way my body was reacting was going to give off how I really felt at the moment, “You. Know. How. I feel right now!” My body was definitely blushing in front of him.

He started to head lower and started to kiss me on my cl-t.  Gosh, this sensation was driving me crazy, “You are so wet right now, you must be liking this.” He started to suck on it harder and more sensual, this feeling was really going to make me org-asm quick.

“I want you in me Ryan, quick.” He stopped licking and looked at me straight in the eyes.

“You don’t get to decide what’s going to happen”, he kept on licking harder and sticking fingers inside me.

“Ahh!” I was so close, I couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Ryan, come on!”

He gave me another stern look, “Darling, I swear, you’re going to get punished for that.”

I quickly looked at the time that was showing one in the morning already, “Ryan…I want you so bad, don’t make me wait.”

He turned me around where now my a-ss was facing him and stuck two fingers without lubricant inside the an-al region, “That’s for telling me what to do.”

I could hear the opening of the lubricant and then the second that came after that where the coldness of the liquid.  I stayed silent until I expected his big bulge inside, “Ugh…” There it was.  The hard thrust of his man-hood.

“I could feel you tightening inside, this isn’t going to take long”, I guess we were both so in the moment that the tension, passion, and lust was really making us hot and heavy.

“F-ck, I’m getting close baby”, he started to smack my as-s and thrusted harder with each second and minute that went by.

“Ah, Ah, Ah!” I don’t know how this man managed to keep me at my toes, but the org-asm was building up.  “Oh no, Ryan, I’m… cu- cum-ming…” I couldn’t even finish my sentence without letting my body drop to the bed.

He picked me right back up and kept on thrusting, harder and harder, “Oh, good girl.” He then pushed his fingers back inside my a-s again.

“I can’t take it Ryan!” Another org-asm was building up inside me, “Ahhhh!”

We must’ve came at the same time, because his warm, muscular body was on top of me on the bed, resting safely. It was close to two in the morning at this time already, “So much for sleeping in.”

“Ha, you’re never going to get to sleep early with me darling.” I laughed at his comment and slowly moved from under him.

“You know, as much as I love you on top of me, you’re heavy!” He started laughing again.  “I love ya though!”

“I love you too, Scarlet. Hey, want to do something crazy today?”

“What”, I could see the smiling and twinkling in his eyes, “It better not be too crazy…”

“Let’s sleep nak-ed tonight.”

“Oh, that’s all”, I couldn’t stop laughing, “Well, we’re already there, want to cuddle?” He nodded in agreement, “I’ll take that as a yes then!”

“Get your a-ss over here”, he was already getting inside the covers.

“Hey I need to ask you something serious though…what happened with Ira?”

“The usual, stupid stuff again.”

I started to get inside the covers but then realized I forgot to do something, “Hey! I didn’t get to eat…”

“Well then I guess we’re going to eat nak-ed this early morning.”

“Yes, it’s not hard to try new things”, I smiled and then got up to cook us some late dinner. “You have to tell me everything that happened tonight with her though…”

“Ugh, I don’t even know where to start, but I do have to tell you this.  We’re probably leaving tomorrow back to my house in the United States.”

“It’s that bad?”

“You have  no idea.”

Hey guys, sorry for the late update, with graduation and all, but I hope you liked this chapter! Crazy things are going to happen soon, trust me. Hey, what did you think about Ryan’s point of view, do you want more of that? Comment below! Also, make sure to vote and comment, you guys really do motivate me! Keep on the lookout on my profile for chapter posting updates. I want to really get back to writing for these next two months since I don’t have school, but honestly shoot out your ideas to me, I’m always listening. :) Well, until next time!  XO, Zed.

Chapter Ten

We had taken the first flight back to the United States, unfortunately, our amazing, romantic trip was over, because of stupid Ira.

“Well at least I’m gonna see where you live now.” I happily admitted as we were walking to a taxi cab for the drive back to his house.

He lived in a very calm city in North Carolina since that’s where he was stationed at, “Wow, it’s so beautiful here.”

“You haven’t seen anything yet, wait till you try some of my favorite restaurants around here”, we arrived at his home in Blowing Rock, North Carolina.

“Wow, nice home.” He smiled like if he won some award, “Okay, don’t get cocky dork.”

“You know we’re gonna have to break in the bed”, I turned to see the taxi driver smiling and laughing, “Thank you sir.” He paid him and we got off to step inside.

For him being a guy, his home was actually pretty neat. “I cannot believe you said that in front of the driver.”

He could tell I was blushing, but he pulled me in for a kiss, “Oh, like we haven’t done anything crazier?”

“True… every day is always something new with you. I love it.”

“Well, I would love it if you got in my bed right at this instant missy.” He dropped the bags and started to lead the way.

“Good, cause I don’t know where your bedroom is.”

“Our bedroom.” I gave a confused look, I mean yes, it will be our bedroom for the next couple of days. “I want you to live with me.”

“Woah.” I took a step back, “I mean… are you sure?”

“Why wouldn’t I? I think we mesh well with each other..Plus you have an amazing body.”

“Wait, that last part…” I started to remove the sweater I had on me and pushed the shoes off my feet, “It can’t be one of the things you love about me.”

I could see the smile in his eyes; I removed my shirt and the shorts I had on, “I’m gonna take this as your yes.”

“Yes, yes, a thousand times yes”, I jumped to him to reach his lips for a kiss, “You know I’d do anything for you dork.”

“Get over here love”, he picked me up and went down the hallway, “What do you think?”

I looked inside and there were gaming posters, but other than that his room was clean, “I mean… I like it, why do you ask?”

“I don’t know. Don’t girls have like some weird obsession with the first impression and stuff?”

“You must not know the type of girl that I am”, I smiled as he set me on his bed.

He took of his shoes, pants, and shirt to match my attire, “Oh, I know the type of girl you are. The naughty kind.”

I started giggling, “Shut up and just get over here already.”

“Excuse me? Are you ordering me around little girl?” I started laughing even more with his comment.

“Little girl? C’mon, i’m not that little, have you seen me?”

“Precisely, I’ve seen every inch of you, and you know I can control you in seconds.”

I smiled coyly, “So do it then.”

He pulled me over and dragged my legs towards him; he ripped my underwear with his bare hands and started to lick my cl-it. “What were you saying?”

“Uhm… no-thing.” I was holding back the pleasure of the tingling sensation he was sending down my spine. Ryan was sucking, licking, and putting pressure on my tiny nub… it was gonna be a hard orgasm, I could feel it. “What are you doing?”

He had stopped the amazing feeling that was getting me close, “You think I’m gonna let you have all the fun while you’re creamy right now?”

I looked down and saw the white, creamy c-um that was spread all on his bedsheets and my skin, “Oh… I’m so sorry.”

“Don’t be. This is fuc-king hot.” He turned me around to have my a-ss closer to him and pushed inside my wound deep. “Oh fu-ck. You’re so tight, I’ll never be tired of this.”

“Hey dork, are you gonna keep on fuc-k…” He pushed deeper and started to bang the hell out of me, “Okay… I’m not going to finish that sentence”, I laughed.

The headboard was moving back and forth, pillows were falling off the bed, and here we were breaking in his bedroom. “Have I told you that you have an amazing a-ss.”

This was so typical of us, to be talking during s-ex, “Yeah, just a couple of times, no biggie.” These curves were all natural, but the hard working out added a little oomph.

He kept on thrusting, his fingers were almost digging into me; I don’t care, the more marks I had from him will only remind me of his touch. “Your pleasure sounds are going to give me in.” I could tell he was close, I knew that the wild side in me making all these noises were only going to add to the heated aura.

“So-rry.” Oh damn, I’m starting to stutter, this only means that I’m getting close also.

“Ha, I know you’re getting close to dork.” Mmm, this was too much…

“Ahh…” 

“Come on baby, just push a little harder…” He thrusted and at the same time started to rub my cl-it, “Ooh, I know this will help.”

“Yep, that definitely is…going…to…Ahhh.” That didn’t take long. In between his kisses to my neck, the rubbing in my special spot, and the thrusting with his man-hood, it didn’t even take him that long either. “You are such a jerk.”

“For what”, he started to laugh and got off of me to lay beside me in the bed.

“We could’ve kept on going for longer, it was just getting good.” I scooted up to the pillow next closer to the headboard, “I don’t know… it just felt amazing.”

“Oh hush, get over here.” I scooted closer to his body with my back on his front, “Mmm, I’ve been wanting to cuddle with you since we got here. But the s-ex was a nice touch.”

I smacked his arm, “Shut up.” I giggled, “This does feel amazing though, after s-ex cuddling!”

“Yeah and that jet-lag was the worst.” Totally right, the flight back was the worst. Okay honestly, even the flight to an entirely different country took forever.

“So what should we do?” I asked curiously as I turned next to him to still be in his embrace, “Cause I’m actually kinda hungry…”

“When aren’t you?” He laughed, “Let me fix you something. Oh! Let me give you a tour actually.”

“That would be appreciated”, we both got off the bed from our cuddling and put on our clothes.

“You can always stay naked”, he slyly smiled, “The bathroom is here to your right by the way.”

“Great, I was wondering where I could escape.”

“Then you’re out of luck love, I’m not letting you out of my sight.” We were both such in a good mood, this moving in thing might not be a bad idea. I have to admit that it scared the sh-it out of me in the beginning. He motioned for me to follow him back in the kitchen.

“Your house is really nice by the way.” I shyly walked beside him as he showed me the kitchen, living room, an extra bedroom, and his study.

“Shut up. Now you’ll be seeing a lot of my living room…especially the couch s-ex kitten.” I forgot that he used that as my nickname, it was good knowing that he cared that much about me.

“Well, I hope I do.” I sat down at the kitchen bar, “So what are our plans for today?”

DING. DING.

“Uh… I’m not expecting anyone today, in fact, everybody knows that I’m on vacation.” Ryan left me at his kitchen and started walking to the front door. “Hey man, how did you know I was here?”

“Dude, I saw the lights on, have you forgotten we live right in front of each other?” The unfamiliar voice definitely sounded like a guy, maybe they were buddies? “So am I allowed to come inside or are you going to leave me here at your doorstep?”

“Nah man, get in here.” Ryan opened the door and let his friend come inside, “This is Scarlet.”

“Oh I didn’t know you had company… Hey Scarlet, my name is Lee Fiskler, I’m in the marines like this fag over here.” I started to laugh at his comment.

“Nice to meet you Lee.” Even though my job was always to greet people, I was the shyest person in the world. Even meeting Ryan for the first time made me melt, it was a good thing he was the one that was so eager.

“So who are you anyway, one of Ryan’s many mistresses I assume.” Ouch, I figured he was a close buddy though for him to say something like that.

“Lee, she’s actually my girlfriend. I made it official a couple of weeks ago and today I asked her to move in.” He seemed surprised, I guess I really am the first real relationship after Ira.

“Oh wow, well excuse moi, I’m sure you’ve heard of that bi-tch, fuc-king Ira.” I gave him a look that I’ve already met her. “Oh, you’ve met her already, yup, not surprised.

“Well, she’s a peach.”

“Alright guys, enough talk about her”, Ryan started grabbing things from his refrigerator to start cooking for me, “So what’s up anyway?”

“How was your vacation dude?” I laughed at the way they spoke with each other, I never had a girlfriend, so this was interesting to watch.

“Still on it, can’t you see?” I forgot that we had left a trail of clothes down to his bedroom.

“Um.. we were dirty?” I coyly smiled, “Anyway, how did you guys meet?”

“We went to Afghanistan together and well, sometimes the perfect friendships start there.” 

“Awe, how sweet.”

“Basically cause we can get drunk pretty good with each other.” They both started laughing about those days, “Remember that Ryan?”

“Hell yeah, he was the base’s drunk. Fu-ck, I don’t even know how you made it out there dude.”

“Yeah, well that’s how it goes.”

“Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun.”

“Eh, we had our moments. Anyway, I’ll let you guys go. Scarlet”, he took out my hand and kissed it, “It was nice meeting you and Ryan, don’t let her out of your sight, or else I’ll sweep in.” 

I blushed as he winked, “Bye Lee.” With that, he took off and locked the door behind him. “He was.. nice.”

“Yeah, the bastard wants you.”

“Shut up Ryan.”

“Did you see the way he was eyeing your ass and rack?” Was he jealous? “He better know you’re mine.”

“Even if I wasn’t, he’s not my type.” I went behind him as he was cooking and kissed his neck. “You’re the only one for me.”

“I hope you know that when I say that I love you, I mean it.” He finished cooking and set the food on two plates and got out wine for us to drink. “I don’t do this sh-it just for anyone.”

“And I’m glad you don’t.” I took my plate and drink and sat back down.

“Did you just use me?”

“Yup, why wouldn’t I?” He smiled and took his plate and drink.

He sat down next to me and laughed, “You’re gonna drive me insane. I just know it.”

The next couple of days with Ryan at his house were not the same like it was with Kyle. Ever since I’ve gotten back though, he’s been messaging and calling me for a chance to get back with him. Sorry Kyle, but this girl has definitely moved on.

With this wonderful time I’ve been having with Ryan, I had forgotten that one day he would have to go back to work.

“So I have a few things to do on base, fuc-king Lee told them that I’ve recooperated and now they want to know if I’m ready to head back.”

He could see the sad look on my face, “Okay.”

He picked up my face with his hand, “Don’t worry. You’re here to stay right?”

“Yes…” I smiled.

“So I’ll be back by two the latest okay?” I nodded my head.

“You wake up too early by the way, it’s freaking 6:30 in the morning!”

“You’re gonna get used to it”, he chuckled, “Love you.”

“Love you too.”

“Do whatever you want today, check out North Carolina, it’s a nice state.”

The next time I woke up was around eleven in the morning, man, I’ve gotten lazy in just a couple of weeks. So unlike me. I was always the one to be up super early.

I checked my phone, no surprise. Another text from Kyle, but also from some number I didn’t recognize. I quickly texted back who it was.

Sweetie, stay away from Ryan. He’s going to end up with me forever. XOXO Ira.

The hell, how did she get my number? I quickly showered and got dressed, it was time for some needed retail therapy.

Since I had my vehicle dropped off over here, getting around town shouldn’t take forever. I took my keys and went outside and locked the front door with the spare key that Ryan had left me.

“Where do you think you’re going?” I turned around and saw Ira standing right behind me.

“Uh, what are you doing here?”

“I’m going wherever you’re going. I guess you need some convincing to get out of Ryan’s life.” She looked at the spare key that he had given me, “And out of his house.”

“Our. House. We both live here now.” She looked annoyed. I opened my car and got inside.

This girl really doesn’t know where to stop. The next thing I knew, she was already getting comfortable inside my car, “Like I said, you need some convincing. So where are we going?”

“Are you for real? I’m going shopping…” Like if I needed to answer her question, but I did anyway. Ira kinda scared me.

“Oh. My. Gosh. I love shopping!” She closed the door beside her, “Anyway, where should I start? Well, it all started when we were in high school…”

This is going to be one LONG ride.  Great.

Chapter Eleven

“So anyway, that’s why you can’t be with him, he’s mine.”

“Ira, why are you in my car? This is the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me”, I kept on driving into town to go the mall, “Where can I drop you off, I don’t mind, seeing as I didn’t see a vehicle in the driveway.”

“What don’t you understand?” She brought her purse up and showed me a picture of a younger version of Ryan and herself, “We were highschool sweethearts, we are destined to be together.”

“What makes you think that I’m going to listen to you?”

“Look, you don’t know much about Ryan so let me refresh you”, She motioned for me to park in a certain section at the mall, “He went through a very difficult childhood.”

“So what does that matter to you?” I started getting off the vehicle and she took my hand before I got off.

She was hanging on tight, “Fine, I need to tell you the truth.”

I started to pay attention, her face seemed innocent for a moment, “Go.”

“When he came back from war…he was a different person.” I got inside the vehicle to sit down, “He thought I cheated, but I never did.”

“Okay, you could be lying to me, why should I believe you?”

“I went to his psychologist, they have to go to counseling once they arrive; he told me that he had some disorder, I can’t remember.”

“He doesn’t act like he has a disorder.”

“Yeah, but he was hearing voices, hallucinating, and I couldn’t go anywhere without him acting up all on my sh-it.”

“You should leave Ira.” I got off the vehicle and waited for her to get off so I could lock my vehicle, “I can’t believe any of this stuff when I know that you could be lying to me.”

“Oh really, then what’s this?” She lifted up her skirt without any hesitation and showed me scars that went straight down right before it got to her knee.

“I don’t know, did you get into some sort of accident?” Ryan did tell me that I shouldn’t trust her.

“He did this to me. In the middle of the night. Just because he said I apparently ‘cheated’ on him.”

I kept on looking at the ugly scars before me, could Ryan actually do something like this? I hadn’t noticed anything wrong with him, it could be Ira just trying to get into my head. But… she wouldn’t go that far to prove a point. Nobody would.

“Look, I’m gonna save your number and I’ll give you a call IF I need your help.”

She let her skirt go down, “Well you’re gonna need my help.”

“Then why do you want to be with him if he’s so bad?” Ira kept on trying to make Ryan look like a bad guy, but for the past week she’s been wanting to get back with him.

“He’s my first love. Nobody ever gets rid of their first love. I’m the only that can handle him.” Bullsh-it. If anything, Ryan hasn’t shown me any of that side, so I’m probably the one that changed him. Or she could be lying. The truth will come out soon.

I started walking away and she started walking in the other direction so her ride can pick her up. I should’ve stayed so I could’ve seen who picked her up.

I went inside the mall and went straight to Victoria’s Secret, I wanted to get something special for Ryan. Today was his day back at work and it could be our last day to actually be together after he needs to be at work for the rest of the year. “Good afternoon mam’, do you need for us to size you?”

“No thank you, I know my size already.” I went to the lingerie section and started looking for a garter belt that could match a beautiful bra I was eyeing on. It was a pale pink that had a lacing around it with the matching underwear.

As much as I loved black for its sexiness, the paleness of the pink truly shined the innocence on a person. I took the bra and underwear in my size and put it in my bag. Oh! This would be a good time to grab a cute babydoll lingerie for sleeping. 

I hated my body, but it did grab Ryan’s attention, so I didn’t mind that. Shopping was truly confusing the hell out of me; I tried ignoring what Ira said about him, but could she be right?

No it can’t be. Ryan specifically told me not to trust a single word that she said… Was it wrong of me to feel like I was betraying him by believing Ira just a little of what she said?

My phone started to ring inside the store; I immediately answered. “Yes, hello?”

“Scarlet, it’s me.”

“Kyle, what the hell do you want?”

“Look, I know you still don’t believe me, but he has a wife.”

I bought my stuff from Victoria’s Secret and headed out from the store, could my life become even more dramatic? “He had a wife Kyle, he told me everything. Honestly, I would appreciate it if you would butt out of my life already, I don’t love you anymore.”

“Don’t say that Scarlet.” I could tell that those words hurt him.

“I’m sorry, but I’m gonna have to change my number if you’re not going to stop calling. Bye Kyle.”

“WAIT. I have to tell you something urgent about him, it’s why I called.”

“Hurry up, what is it? Even though nothing you say will change my mind.”

I started to go inside a shoe store and looked around for any new heels I could wear with my sundresses, “They brought him back from war because he started developing some sort of psychological disorder.”

I almost dropped the shoes from my hands when he said that last part. F-uck, please don’t let Ira be right! I mean, it can’t be a bad disorder, I know from research that you can live with people who don’t have crazy disorders, right?

“They said something about Schizophrenia..” I immediately hung up the phone. That’s it, I’m changing my number. I am not going to pay attention to everybody’s sh-it already.

I went to the nearest kiosk that had the AT&T center, “Hi, I need a new phone number.”

“No problem ma’am, I’ll get that fixed for you right away.” I smiled at the employee who carefully took my phone and started asking questions on my account. “It says here you’re under a Kyle…”

I didn’t even let him finish that sentence before I told him to remove me off that account so I could start my own, “I don’t care how much it costs, just do it.”

“You know, it would be cheaper to just upgrade to a new phone and save the contract fees, do you want to do that instead?”

“Yup.” He was starting to figure out my sense of urgency and frustration. “I’m sorry if I’m acting crazy, I just really need to get away from certain individuals.”

“I completely understand, here’s your phone, all brand new with a different number ma’am.”

“Wow, thank you so much!” I paid with my credit card and left. 

Oh crap! I need to text Ryan that I changed my number, for all I know he could’ve been calling me all this while.

Hey love, just sending you a text that this is my new phone number… Ira was with me this morning and Kyle has been relentless.

He quickly called, wow, that didn’t take fast.

“Hello?”

“What the hell did Ira want? Cause I swear if she’s bothering you, I’ll have security take her out.”

“Ha, where would you get security?”

“I know people.”

“Okay, well calm down dork, you need to hurry up and come home. I’m already heading back.”

“I actually reserved us a restaurant at six, think you can get ready in time?”

Um, yeah! Which girl wouldn’t take this romantic moment to be with her man. “Of course!”

“See you at the house to pick you up.”

“Mkay!”

Ryan had quickly changed, like every guy does. Of course it took me almost two hours to get ready, but thankfully I had arrived early from the mall to get ready.  And I was especially thanking myself that I had bought this new lingerie set so I could wear under my dress.

“What do you think?” I stepped outside the bedroom into the living room where he was watching T.V.

He turned it off with a fast click and stood up, “I’m thinking we should skip the dinner entirely.”

I giggled, “No! I’m hungry and plus you took the time to reserve a restaurant let’s go.”

“I don’t know Scarlet, cause you’re looking extremely beautiful right now…” He started to place small kisses on the sides of my neck.

“You are such a jerk… You know I love that.” He heard every word I had just said, so he started to place more kisses. Longer and stickier ones.

“You like that baby?” I started to moan a little louder. I hadn’t even noticed that we were in the kitchen. “C’mon just a quickie.”

“Oh gosh, there’s never quickies between us. It’s either an hour or more.” We both laughed and continued to roam into passion.

He unzipped the dress that took me two hours to put on, “Wow…”

“What, is something wrong?”

“No. I see you bought me a little something for tonight.” I immediately blushed. He let the little, black dress fall down to my high heels that were still on. 

We were in the middle of the kitchen, him fully clothed and I was here almost naked. “Dork, don’t leave me hanging.”

He smiled, “I’m not.” He took off his clothes until he was in boxers and picked me up to place me on the counter bar in the middle of the kitchen.

“Were doing it in here?”

“Yup. So quiet and take it.” I loved it when he was dominating.

“We should leave…” I was lying though, I didn’t want to leave. As he placed me on the counter bar, he proceeded to take off my th-ong that had matched with the lingerie set and started licking me down there. “Ahh..”

I couldn’t help but keep on moaning to him doing his stuff, he was great at it. “Please Ryan…”

“Yes love?” He inserted his finger inside and started to push it in deeply as he continued to lick my cl-it. “You like that?”

I know he didn’t need to be assured, the juices that I felt spilling out me were more than a confirmation to the sensations that were readily taking over my body.

In a quick jerk, I felt something full inside. I opened my eyes and saw that he was right in front of me, inches away from his eyes. “Oh.”

I giggled, “I guess you couldn’t wait.”

“Nope.” He jerked and pushed in deeply. “You’re so tight.”

I guess that was a good thing, because he said it a lot. “Oh gosh…”

He forwarded deeper, pushing himself all the way and thrusting like he couldn’t wait to get over it, but I know it was him being desperate and hungry.

I could see the clock on the stove, almost thirty minutes had already passed. His phone rang from the restaurant calling us to confirm the reservation that I knew we were going to miss. “I can’t…”

“What’s wrong?”

“I can’t hold it in any longer Ryan…” I squirmed and shut my eyes really tight, “Feels. Too. Good.”

I couldn’t even put words together without squirming and moving from side to side. The moans were filling his house to the point where neighbors were probably going to complain.

He suddenly picked me up and took me to the living area, “I’m going to fu-ck you silly on the couch.”

He bent me over to where my chest was on laying on top of the couch; he instantly spread my legs, heels apart. “I feel like I’m going to get felt up here as if I’m hiding something”, I laughed.

“Are you? Cause I think every hole has been properly checked.” He chuckled and pushed it in again without a notice.

“Ah! I love it when you do that, but I hate it at the same time.”

The deeper and harder he thrusted, the louder the moans were. I looked to the right side and forgot that the front door had a see-through window, “Ryan, what if someone… sees.. ugh…so good.”

“Let them watch.” Was he being serious? I know he was into some freaky stuff, but other guys watching me? Or worse, parents that lived in this neighborhood? “You look so fuc-king sexy right now love.”

He reached over and started to bite me around my neck and kiss me, slobbering his saliva all over my neck to mark his territory. “Ohhh!!!”

“Hmm, you look so delicious baby, your c-um is all over the floor right now.”

I had orgasmed on the floor, oh gosh, how embarassing. I could feel the rushed job he was now doing to me from behind, he was close. 

After I said that, it didn’t even take seconds before he came next, laying on my body to get a grip of breath back, “Ugh, I’ll never get tired of you.”

I laughed, “That’s what you keep on saying, but I’m sure the day will come.” 

We went inside the bedroom to change into our pajamas, “Do you think this looks cute? I got it at Victoria’s Secret.” It was a pajama dress that was extra sexy for him.

“It looks sexy on you.” He took me by the waist and kissed me on the lips, “I love you.”

“I love you too. That was amazing s-ex by the way.” I winked at him to start making jokes.

DING. DING.

“Um, someone is here?”

I instantly went to the living room to clean up the mess that we had made, “I hope nobody saw!”

Ryan went to the front door, “Hey man, what’s up?”

“Nothing, just came to say whatcha doing? I heard some commotion going down.”

“Oh, um, nothing… new.” I smiled as I blushed cause I’m sure he probably saw what was going on. Why wouldn’t he? He lived down the street.

“So what were you guys doing?”

“Nothing much, we’re actually gonna cook. Dude, you always come when we’re gonna make food.”

“Yeah Lee, what’s up with that?” I laughed.

“Okay, to be totally honest, I literally saw you guys porking a while ago, thought I could join.”

UM, WHAT? “Dude, no.” Ryan laughed as he started to prepare a meal. “You’re such a pervert.”

“I’m a pervert, you’re the one having crazy s-ex over here.” Lee sat down at the bar.

“This is so embarassing, maybe you guys should save this conversation for when I’m not here!!”

“What do you think, you want to have to s-ex with me Scarlet?” Lee asked an inappropriate question, but what will Ryan say about it?

Hey guys, short chapter, but enjoy! Make sure to vote and comment. And sorry for taking forever to write, my pinky is busted! :( More chapters to come!

Chapter Twelve

“So come one Scarlet, answer the question.” I looked at Lee and then back at Ryan. I searched for any emotion from him to know if it was okay to answer such a sex-ual question.

Ryan smacked Lee’s shoulder, “Dude, get over it. She’s my girl, you’re not going to get anywhere close to her.”

I finally let in the air in my lungs breathe, “You guys are too crazy.” It’s not like I wouldn’t though. Lee had a muscular build, not as tall as Ryan, but just like him he had the body to make girls crazy. I’m sure if he put it use in the bedroom, the story would get a little different.

Hmm, now I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Having s-ex with Lee was going to stay on my mind just for a little while. “You’re no fun man, I know you don’t care about that sh-it.”

“Shut up Lee”, Ryan looked annoyed, “So are you going to eat or what?” He placed three plates on the table with the food for us to eat.

I wonder what Lee meant about that. That Ryan didn’t care about that.

“So what do you do anyway Lee”, I started to lead the conversation to a lighter mood since Ryan had seemed he didn’t want him to say anything.

“I boss this loser around.”

Ryan took a bite of his food, “You wish.”

“Well, I think it’s cool that guys work together. Especially since you’re saving our country.”

“Ha.” Lee cracked up, “Well you know how to thank me for that.” 

Ryan glared at him, “Man, you’re such an as-shole.” I could tell that Ryan was getting even more annoyed of Lee’s se-xual comments towards me. “Did you like the food?” He directed the question towards me.

“It was delicious!” I quickly hugged him and finished the last piece of my plate. That se-x must’ve made me extra hungry, because the food disappeared in the minutes that we were talking.

“Well, I should be going, thanks for the food guys.” Lee picked up his plate and set it in the kitchen sink, “Oh an next time, don’t fu-ck in the living room, or else you’ll know who’s gonna enjoy the show.” Lee winked at me.

I instantly blushed, “Um, yeah…” We walked him out of the house and started to clean up in the kitchen.

It didn’t take a long time for Ryan to walk Lee out of his home as quickly as possible. As soon as he closed the door, the honesty kicks in, “You know he wants to fu-ck you right?” Ryan started washing the dishes and faced me.

“I think I gathered that information tonight.” I could tell he was frustrated so I didn’t want to push even more buttons. “Is it bothering you?”

He finished cleaning the plates while he kept his pensive state, “I mean…”

“You mean…?” I was waiting for his answer, “Are you into that kind of stuff? I know guys are a different creature”, I laughed, “So you don’t have to be ashamed about it.” 

“Do you want to go to bed?”

He didn’t want to answer the question, maybe there was something behind it. “I’m just gonna take a quick shower.”

“I’ll get in with you.”

I quickly smiled, “Want to have a little more fun for tonight, huh?” I tried to lighten up the mood.

“Yup, get in.”

I stripped myself nak-ed and got inside the clear shower. Considering that he was a guy, it was by far the cleanest bathroom I had ever seen, “Like what you see?”

He turned on the showerhead and I could see that his buddy down there agreed with my question, “I don’t want you to think what Lee said bothered me.”

“So then.” We were both inside the shower now, rinsing ourselves, scrubbing each other’s bodies, “You just looked a little mad, that’s all.”

“Yeah I know, I’m sorry for that.” I smiled and kissed him as the water ran down our face and necks. “Would you have had s-ex with him though. And no, I won’t crucify you if you say yes. Just be honest.”

I paused, I didn’t want to make him even angrier with my response, but as of now I hadn’t lied to him. In fact, he was the first person that I could be completely honest with him. That’s crazy. “Yeah, I probably would’ve if we weren’t dating.”

He smirked, “I figured you would. He is pretty beefy.”

“Beefy?” I laughed so hard I almost slipped, “He obviously exercises. But then, so do you. So get over it.”

I kept on laughing as he started to fool around with my bre-asts, “You were being such an a-ss with him though. You know I wouldn’t do anything to betray your trust.” I softly shoved him, holding on to his body.

He kept on squeezing and splattered soap all over me, “If I told you to have s-ex with him, would you do it?”

I looked up with innocence, “Um, if you wanted me to. I wouldn’t do anything without your permission of course. But if you’re into that kind of sh-it. Well then fu-ck it.” My answer seemed like it pleased him.

“You’re amazing.” I smiled at him, “Unlike any other girl I’ve ever dated.”

“Well, that’s a good thing I suppose.” I started to play with the soap and started to make bubbles covering his body. “This is fun.”

He pushed me against the shower wall and started to kiss me hard, even more dominating than he’s ever been, “The fact that another guy wants to fu-ck you makes me want you more.”

“That turns you on?”

“He thinks you’re hot. What guy wouldn’t be pleased that other guys want you. The fact that you belong to me means I’m the winner in all of this.” I smiled. This is the way that guys played their games. Guys and their huge a-ss egos.

Ryan’s muscles looked extra delicious as his arm was next to my head leaning on the wall; he kissed me lightly while I glanced at his juicy abs, I pulled away from his kiss, “You know…You’re the one girls want all the time. You’re the hotter one in the relationship.”

Without a chance to breathe, he stuck two fingers inside me. His kisses were piling against my neck, one after another. If anybody were to see this from the outside, they’d be enjoying the show. “I don’t want any other girls though.”

I kept on moaning, the movement was fast and jerky; he wasn’t in a rush, but maybe the whole Lee wanting me made him even horn-ier. “I’m gonna savor you now.”

As much I was self-conscious about him going down there, he was extremely good at, “Ohh!” Suc-king. Lic-king. The sensation was just too much.

With my back against the wall, the water kept on running down. I hadn’t noticed that it turned a little colder, but that didn’t stop us. I must’ve forgotten how long our conservation was taking up our time, but this is a nice change-up.

He was on both knees, with his face up on me, still lic-king and stic-king his fingers as far up as he could, “Ha, you’re dripping wet.”

“That’s pretty normal when I’m with you honey.” I had my eyes closed and continued to enjoy the moment. “OH GOSH. How are you so damn good at that?”

“I would say practice, but I’m not sure if you would be happy with that response.”

“The hell with it, all that practice came in handy.” I could hear his chuckle as he rose back up to rinse off quickly and come back and kiss me.

“You ready?”

“Mmhm.” I nervously waited for his entry inside me, that thing wasn’t easy to take all in. “Mmm.”

“It’s sliding in so easily and that’s cause the water would’ve made it harder for me to enter.” I acknowledged him and took him all in me.

I stared at his eyes directly, “Go rough on me.”

With just a jolt he started to push in, deeper and harder, “Gladly.”

For the next thirty minutes he pleasured me like no other man could. Even though I had only been with Kyle, Ryan made me feel like I was in heaven.

“I fuc-king love you babe” I smiled through my gritted teeth of the pleasure he kept on giving me.

“I. Love. You. Too.” His thrusting was giving me the ectasy I so desired tonight. I had felt wanted, the fact that Lee wanted me too turned me on a bit also.

He then took himself out and pinned me with the front of my body against the wall, a-ss up in the air, “Your a-ss is such a turn on. You have the biggest, sex-iest a-ss I’ve ever seen.”

Without any warning he pushed his already lubricated pe-nis inside the an-al region, “Ooof.”

I could feel my face against the shower wall being squished with my facial emotions of pure bliss, “Like that?”

“Mmhm. You’re filling me..up.” I could hear the satisified smile grunting close to my ear. “You like seeing me like this huh?”

“Of course. I love seeing my girl getting rammed by me inside of her”, he continued the motion of our lovemaking and finally let himself out, “Fu-ck, I can’t even stop myself.”

I turned around before he could enter from behind me again, “Good.”

“You know it’s cause you’re so tight right?”

“I wouldn’t know.” I gave him a kitten smile and he instantly pushed me back against the wall and quickly cleaned himself before going inside my wanting body, “A little warning would be nice.”

“That’ll take the fun out of everything then.”

There was such a sight about having Ryan use all of his force and body to please me until I came. The water kept on running down our faces, bodies, and privates that must’ve made the sight even more appealing to whoever could’ve been watching. Just imagining someone catching us like Lee did earlier was turning me on.

“Ryan…” I shut my eyes out before I could realize that my nails were digging against his back, “I’m close.”

“I can feel you tightening against me.” He made quick motions to continue to fu-ck me, “Come on baby.”

Hearing the command in his voice made me instantly melt and org-asm at his will, “Ahhh.”

Not to long afterwards did he also get pleased. We stayed in our position. This moment wasn’t going to get ruined by us talking or even looking at each other. It’s as if our bodies knew to hang on to each other to feel the intimacy that made us alive.

“I love you.” I finally opened my eyes to look straight into Ryan’s sincere eyes, “I love you so damn much Scarlet.”

I smiled, “I love you too.”

I woke up to the smell of coffee in the morning, Mmm. “What time is it?” I was waiting for answer that I didn’t know I wasn’t going to get. I quickly looked to the left side of me and saw that Ryan had already left to work that morning. “Great, I’m talking to myself now.”

Finally having the energy to stand up, I took the coffee mug into my hands to feel the warmth and let it seep inside me. There was a note next to the coffee:  You look beautiful when you sleep, I didn’t want to wake you, but I’ll be back by three today. See you then. XOXO Ryan.

Awe, he’s so nice to me. I don’t know why I always compare my relationship with him with the one I had with Kyle, but it was probably because I didn’t date anyone else. Technically Ryan is my second boyfriend.

I took a sip of the coffee again and got out of bed so I could change. It was a good thing that I took a shower last night, because I don’t have any energy to do the same this morning. “Hmm, what to wear.”

I have to look extra-sexy for Ryan today and also make some awesome plans. I should go to Blockbuster and rent some movies so we can watch some today while I make a nice, late lunch.

I quickly grabbed my push-up bra that only made my bre-asts look even bigger and a white low-cut V shirt, “Woah.” I took a glance at the mirror and saw a short girl with big bo-obs in underwear, “Maybe I should cut back on the sexiness”, I laughed to myself.

This shirt was so cute though! It had a heart in the middle that said the phrase,  I love Geeks . I put some black tights on to contrast the full top part of my body.

Taking the keys from the counter to head out the door, I saw a figure standing in front of the door. The great thing about it being see-through was that I knew who it was. I opened the door with my purse at hand, “Lee, so great to see you.”

“Scarlet.”

“Yes? I was actually just heading out, was there something you needed?”

“Hey, why don’t I go with you. I love me some adventure with a pretty girl.” I blushed again at his advances. I wasn’t sure if that was a great idea, but I’m a people-pleaser, saying no didn’t really come in handy for me.

“Okay, I’m heading to Blockbuster and the grocery… not sure if that will interest you for that adventure.”

“Well you’re forgetting the attractive girl part, so I’m in.”

I locked the door of Ryan’s home, “What were you doing here anyway?”

We got inside the vehicle as he took the wheel since apparently he knew his way around here, “Just wanted to stop by and say ‘hi’.”

“That’s nice. Ryan’s not home though, he’s working today.”

“Yeah, the freaking Marines finally decided that it was okay to give me a day off. Too bad I hadn’t planned for it until yesterday when I got home and saw my answering machine.”

“Last night? Wow, sucks that they don’t give you an advance notice.”

“Hmm, could be that I did hear the phone ring, but I was too busy watching something else.”

Oh gosh, seriously he’s referring to Ryan’s and I se-xscapade last night. I ultimately blushed again, “About that… I’m really sorry you saw that. I’m still trying to get used to Ryan’s home and whatnot. I completely forgot that his door is…like that.”

“Darling, don’t be sorry. You’re so se-xy.” This conversation quickly shifted into an inappropriate one, “Your body is so curvy and delicious.”

“Lee, maybe we shouldn’t talk about this. I don’t want Ryan to get upset with me.”

“I keep forgetting about that, sorry. I just didn’t think that Ryan was serious about you that’s all and I wouldn’t want you getting hurt.”

I shifted my face downwards, “Why wouldn’t he be serious about me?” Either Lee is trying to make stuff up so he can get into my pants, or maybe there was some truth behind all of this.

“Has he told you that you’re like the twenty-third girlfriend he’s had… or hook-up, whatever you want to call it. Look, I could be wrong. Maybe he does care about you, but like I mentioned, I don’t want to see a pretty girl like you get hurt.”

He put his hand on my thigh, “I didn’t know that…”

It was a good thing that we finally got to Blockbuster, I needed to get this stupid stuff out of my head, “What kind of movies is Ryan into?”

Considering that Lee was his best friend, he has to know at least his favorite genre of movies. “Action. Straight-up action guy.”

“Awesome. I’ll get something romantic and cheesy then.” He looked over at me and laughed. “I love messing with his head when it comes to that.”

“Wow, maybe you guys are meant for each other. He’s a lucky man.”

“Not that lucky if I’m the twenty-third girlfriend he’s had…” I looked at the emerald promise ring he gave me back on our vacation, “Why do I love you so much…”

Lee hugged me out of nowhere, “Don’t be sad Scarlet, I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

I hugged him back, I just needed some sort of affection towards me to pretend it was Ryan. “I was thinking of skipping the grocery store. I’m sure I can whip something out of the ingredients he already has.”

“Whatever you want. I’m your slave.” I laughed at his answer back to me, that was something that Ryan would’ve said to me. In reality, I wouldn’t mind being Lee’s or Ryan’s slave. Having two guys rev me up like that. “You okay? You got this sinister, but erotic smile in your eyes.”

“Yeah! Why wouldn’t I be?” I got two action movies that I found out Ryan hadn’t seen yet and checked out. So embarrassing. I need to stop having these thoughts in my head.

“Everything okay?” Lee looked towards me as I opened the door to Ryan’s home, “I hope I didn’t ruin anything between you and Ryan.”

“I’m okay, I just don’t want to ever feel like Ryan could at one point leave me. I haven’t been with many guys you know.”

“Number.” I could tell he was asking me how many people I’ve slept with even though I was referring to how many boyfriend’s I’ve had.

“Ryan’s the second.” He almost lost his balance, “Don’t make fun.”

“I’m not. I just can’t get it out of my mind that only two men have seen that se-xy, beautiful body of yours.”

I shoved Lee, “Will you stop saying that? You’re so inappropriate all the time. How do YOU even get girls to fall in love with you.”

“I don’t sweetie, I just fu-ck them.” He grinned and then pushed me against the wall that was close to the kitchen, “Just like I’ve been wanting to do ever since I’ve laid my eyes on you.”

I froze. I wasn’t able to move or even do anything. Even though Lee was such a jerk, there was something about him that made me want him so much. It could be that conversation that Ryan and I had last night, but this was something else. 

Lee put a finger on my face trailing down to my neck and low-cut shirt, “So.. se-xy.” His fingers treaded lightly on the outline of my bre-asts that made my spine shiver. He got closer to my neck and placed one kiss on it and whispered, “Oh, what I’d give to have you here, right now.”

“Lee, please don’t do anything that you’re going to regret. I didn’t want to give the wrong impression towards you… I’m sorry if I did.” I didn’t mean it though. He could tell too. He could tell what effect he was giving me by just wanting me. Telling me how se-xy I looked.

He shifted his muscular build to push me even harder against the wall and pressed his lips against mine. His kiss was very different from his personality. He’s an as-shole, but his kiss made me a different person.

Lee let go and pulled away, “I just had to know how tasty your lips were. Bad call. I’m gonna leave wanting more.”

I blushed again, but took both of my hands against my lips to cover them, “Oh crap, what did you do?”

The door opened to the front of the home with Ryan in his Marine uniform. I instantly knew taking him with me was a big regret I was going to have for my entire life. “What’s going on?”

Ryan had come inside the home to see Lee just a few feet away from me and me against the wall with my hands against my lips covering them, “Nothing dude.”

“What the fu-ck did you do Lee?”

Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for being patient with me. If you didn’t get my message, I started a new job that takes a lot more time than I expected it to. I’m also a huge geek so I make my own costumes for the comic book conventions I attend (which you can find on my website), so I’m super sorry for taking a long time to write this chapter. After this week, I should get the hang of my time management. Other than that, enjoy this chapter and make sure to vote and comment your suggestions! XO, Zed.

Chapter Thirteen

WARNING: Can get more graphic than usual. Mature audiences ONLY.

“What the hell happened, Lee?” Ryan angrily looked towards me, “Scarlet, talk to me.” So many things were running through my head right now. Do I tell him? I was even afraid for Lee’s safety.

“Ryan…I’m going to tell Lee to go home now.” I could tell his frustrated look turned into a grin. For Lee’s safety at least, “Something bad happened. I don’t want you to end up hurting your best friend.”

I turned my head towards Lee’s direction, he looked uncomfortable. He started to lean against the wall to hang onto his stance; everything was moving so fast, it was hard to see how everyone in the room was feeling clearly.

Ryan walked over to me, resting his hand onto my shoulder, then caressing the side of my face, “I’m not hurting anyone baby.” I could finally see his calm face, the Ryan that I knew and loved. “What happened?”

“Before I say anything, I just want to say how I’m sorry all of this happened. Everything is ALL of my fault. I wanted to have a movie night and so I went to Blockbuster. But then Lee was there and he decided to come with me. Which I agreed to.” My rambling was definitely making him laugh, but I knew this next part wouldn’t, “He kissed me.”

The tenseness in his jawbone was seen. He quickly grunted his frustration, “He leaned me against the wall, and kissed me. And I liked it.”

I turned my head away, into Lee’s direction. I blushed, but I could see the content look on his face. It’s his stupid fault that I’m feeling emotions for both Ryan and Lee. Not only that, but I LOVE RYAN. There is no way I’m going to ruin my relationship with Ryan all because of a stupid mistake.

Ryan pulled back a bit, “Is that all that happened?”

“Look man”, Lee stepped in between us, in front of Ryan’s face, “I’m sorry dude. You’re one lucky son of a bi-tch, do you know that? You have a beautiful, intelligent, and amazing woman right here. I overstepped your boundaries, I messed up.” Was he actually saying all of these nice things to me? The freaking a-sshole that is always sucking up to me is into me?

I had tears strolling down my face by now. With everything that both of these guys were saying about me, being understanding especially at a time like this.

Ryan pushed Lee away, “I love you.” I hugged Ryan really hard, almost leaving marks on his body, even though I’m pretty sure I wasn’t capable of that.

“I love you too Ryan.”

For a while the room almost felt still. “I want you to kiss him.” I felt as though I didn’t hear Ryan correctly. Him ordering me to kiss Lee… he wouldn’t say that.

“Um…” I awkwardly looked at Lee who had the same confused look on his face that I had.

 “I want you to kiss him, Scarlet.” In an instant Lee rushed himself over to me to kiss me, deeply, just like he had previously when Ryan almost caught us.

I pushed myself away a little, “Are you sure?” Ha, maybe I should’ve asked that before I was already getting kissed. He had a grin on his face, this was turning him on.

“Perfectly sure.” He smiled at me and continued to watch.

Lee started to push me closer to the couch where he continued to swirl his tongue with mine; I quickly glanced at Ryan who looked extremely pleased. Especially his yummy companion down there. The bulge was not forgettable.

“Let me strip you, baby.” Ryan came over to us and started undressing my way-too-sexy outfit choice for today. “Lace.” He grinned again.

“Fu-ck.” Lee stood there, just watching Ryan strip me down to my under-garments. “Dude, have I told you how fuc-king lucky you are.”

“Not as much as I’d like to hear it.” Men. They were playing their egos right in front of me. I giggled, not before Lee and Ryan started to take off their clothes.

I didn’t even know which way to look. These men were way too hot for me. “Maybe I’m the lucky one. Two gorgeous men about to please me in every way.”

“You bet we are.” Lee winked at me while he laid on the couch and brought me over to straddle him. I started to kiss him. Licking him from his muscular chest all the way to his neck, “Ohh baby.”

I smiled, but that didn’t last long. I felt the cold lubri-cant running down the insides of my thigh. It started from my wanting pus-sy and into my an-al region. “Oh gosh. Please don’t tell me I’m going to be taking you both inside me at the same time.”

“How else do you expect for us to give you a mind-blowing org-asm sweetheart?” Ryan’s voice from behind only gave me the chills. Was this actually happening? No way. I had thought about it, but for it to actually happen was surreal.

“Ready for me Scarlet?” The fact that Lee actually asked me not only made the situation much better, but it showed me that he respected me. It was different. I nodded my head. He wasn’t as big as Ryan, but still  big . I felt the fullness of him inside me, I winced a little, “There, there. One more push okay?”

I nodded again, “Hey that was a big push!” I giggled, “Ahh!” My pus-sy was definitely enjoying this man. Oh gosh, the sensation was so amazing.

I wasn’t even paying attention to what Ryan was doing, but another motion of fullness was creeping in, and not the good kind, “I’m supposed to take in you in my a-ss, Ryan?” Did he not realize how big he was?

“Ha. You know my favorite body part of you is your a-ss darling. There was no going around that one.” True. He loved that about me.

“AHH.” The tearing of my an-al region was both exhilarating, but painful at the same time. “Mmm.”

I could hear both of the guys laugh, “That didn’t take long before she enjoyed it, huh Ryan.”

“Nope.” 

For the next thirty minutes, I had these two marines pleasuring my every desires. The ecst-asy in the room was beyond my wildest dreams. Moa-ns escaped my breath, while grunts escaped the men.

“She’s so fuc-king tight.” I heard Lee in front of shout out, wanting to go a little faster, but still keeping up with the motion of Ryan fuc-king me from behind. I had about three orga-sms by now; just having these two at the same time was delicious.

“I know.”

“Can you guys stop?” I laughed, “You guys are fuc-king me silly and you’re having a conversation about how tight I am?”

Both men fuc-ked even harder until Lee was already going to give out, “AH, Fu-ck, Fuc-king Scarlet.”

“Su-ck him off, baby.” I quickly agreed to my dominating Ryan and got down on my knees to su-ck off Lee. His di-ck hit the back of my throat to fulfill his horn-iness. In seconds he was done.

Ryan quickly cleaned himself and came on over for me to finish him off also, “Yummy.” I smiled at him with my eyes and started to su-ck him dry. So much for dry though, he came all over my bre-asts and face. “Jerk.”

We all were on top of the carpet. Na-ked. Tired. And  satisfied . “That was amazing.” 

I looked at Lee who was holding my hand from my left side while Ryan was holding my hand on the right side, “You guys were amazing.”

When we had gotten up from our nap, we all went inside the shower to go for a round two, but after that Lee went back home.

“Do you think this is going to change anything?” I worriedly looked at Ryan who was playing his video games on his computer.

“No. Only if you think too much. Which you do. So stop it kitten.”

I went over to hug him, “Okay, Okay.” I couldn’t stop thinking about it though. Now that this had happened, my emotions for Lee have changed. Not that I loved him or anything. But I wanted him too.

This is all Ryan’s fault! “Are you still overthinking it sweetheart?”

“Yes…” Ryan stopped playing his video games for a while and looked over me while I sat on the other side of the couch to look back, “I really enjoyed it.”

“I’m glad you did. You were so hot getting fu-cked by another man.” I could tell he really did enjoy it too, “Are you worried about Lee? Cause he doesn’t care what happens.”

“I’m worried about us, Ryan. I don’t want something like this to ruin our relationship. I love you. And only you.”

“I know you do, Kitten.” He motioned his finger in a ‘come-hither motion’, “Be a good little kitty and come kiss me.”

I kissed him. HARD. I was scared of his losing him. He’s my everything, “Do you think we’ll do it again?”

I waited for his answer, “Maybe.” He then sat me on his lap and got his video game control, “Only if you want to.”

I definitely wanted it, but I get attached, QUICK. If I continued to have s-ex with Lee, I’m sure my feelings for him would change from like to love. And I’m not okay with that. Ryan is the only marine I want. He’s all I ever wanted.

So, this was different. It was STEAMY. Lol. A reader suggested this, what do you guys think? Should I go back to only Ryan and Scarlet’s chemistry or keep with the trio having more fun in many more ways ;)? Leave in the comments section about your suggestions and make sure to VOTE for this story :) You guys are awesome! XO, Zed.

(Side Note: this story was purposely short to test out this chemistry between the trio, so please do give me your suggestions!)

Chapter Fourteen

“Time to look for a job”, I thought to myself. All this time that I’ve been living off my savings was seriously draining my bank account. I had saved a pretty good sum when I had the business, even more after I sold it.

Hmm, where do I even start? I had my college degree in Business Administration, so hopefully it wouldn’t be such a hard job to find. I decided to search on those job websites, found a couple of good listings. I made sure to include my resume and PDF files of my degree. Phew, well that took the entire morning.

I don’t know why I had never used my laptop in this room before. Since Ryan had a house, this second bedroom was converted into a study/office room. Still looks so much cleaner than my messy office room that I had with Kyle.

I left the office room to get a snack; the entire morning had already passed since I woke up late today, but I was eager for Ryan to come home. After yesterday… I couldn’t stop blushing around him. Even if Lee came over today, I’m sure the blushing would never end.

Although I had decided that something like that would never happen again, I kind of wanted it to. The sole fact that Lee thought I was ‘sexy’ meant a lot. I can’t get rid of Ryan though! He’s the only one that has ever paid attention to my nonsense and made sense of it.

He’s the only one I’ve ever been completely  honest with.

RING. Sh-it. I had left my phone in the bedroom. I quickly ran to grab and answer whoever was calling. “Hello?”

“Yes, with Scarlet Ames please?”

“Speaking…” The man on the other line sounded calm and warm.

“I just wanted to let you know that you got a job here with Sunrise Rehabilitation if you want it.”

I literally just put my application thirty minutes ago and I got a job? I must’ve slept for too long. Or maybe I’m still asleep? “I’m sorry, can I ask who’s calling?”

“Scarlet, I’m surprised you didn’t recognize my voice by now. It’s me. Jacob Parker from high school.”

Jacob Parker… Jacob freaking Parker? I mean, it’s been a long time, but yeah I remembered him, “Jacob, what are you doing here in North Carolina..”

“I moved right after college once I got offered the job here, so do you want to work here or not?”

“Hmm, what does the job entail? I’m not so sure if I want to be around you all the time.” I joked, but he was a sweet talker. I always knew that if I wasn’t going to be Kyle, somehow I knew I was going to end up dating him.

“The job title professionally is called Human Resources Client Rights Officer, but you’ll be spending most of the time with me. SO, you have to take it.”

“I’m surprised you even recognized my name from my application Jacob, you must’ve been in love with me.” I waited for his sarcastic remark back, “But yes, I’ll take the job.”

“Great. You start tomorrow at eight in the morning sharp. No takebacks.” He chuckled, “Oh business casual is our attire.”

“You got it..boss?”

“Damn right.” I laughed again and we hung up. YES! Finally, something to do rather than me waiting here for Ryan to come back home.

I did my jumping up ‘happy’ dance as Ryan and Lee walked through the front door laughing at my antics, “It’s not what it looks like. Okay, it is.”

Ryan amusinglly laughed, “Something good happened that I’m not aware of?”

“Obviously she’s excited that we got home, Ryan.” I could see Lee’s glaring eyes staring at places he’s already seen and made me love so much.

“OBVIOUSLY, I’m happy because I got a job!” Ryan’s eyes shifted from the living room to where I was sitting at the kitchen island.

“You wanted a job? I thought you were just going to be here, with me, chilling and waiting for me to get home.” Was he being serious? He must be joking if I was going to wait here for him to get back home for almost six hours.

“Well, yeah.” I looked down, “I needed something to do, Ryan.”

Lee cheerfully walked over, “I’m happy for you, Scarlet! How are we going to celebrate?” He winked at me, giving me the intention that he wanted to have s-ex again.

“Yes, we should celebrate.” Ryan’s demeanor changed into a calmer one.

“Thanks guys.” Man, just two months ago I was devastated with my life over how much I regretted things. Especially with the way my relationship was going. Now, I feel at peace. Ryan, but even Lee, have been extremely nice to me.. in more ways than one. “But, I’d rather stay here.”

We ended up having dinner at a restaurant, despite me being totally against it, because they both paid. A couple of drinks in and the flirtations between both of them subsided into the night. I had quickly told Ryan about me knowing my boss, Jacob Parker, but I’m sure he was too busy fantasizing about taking off this dress I had on.

“It was great for you to come over, Lee.” I smiled warmly at him as I started to enter Ryan’s house.

“Yeah man, thanks.” I could tell that he wanted to have fun with me; the kind of fun that Ryan was about to do to me.

I stumbled into our bedroom and rested on the bed, face-down. “Ugh, I am so tired.”

With an instant a hard smack on my a-ss is all you heard through his house, “Hopefully not too tired for this, baby.”

“Never.” I quickly turned around, a little dizzy from the alcohol, but I looked at him with a sly smile that ultimately finished his sentence.

It didn’t take too long for our clothes to be off in two seconds and the raging heat he had for me to be shown in full force, “AHH! So.. big.”

“Yeah baby, take me all in.” The se-xual talking was very hot at this moment. I wanted him to treat me like a slave, like someone that could just please him. “S-uck me off, Scarlet.”

“Yes Sir!” I gracefully bowed down to his ma-nhood to obey his commands. “Mmmm.” I tried to take as much of him as I could while at the same time using my hands to stroke him.

“F-uck, I know I’ve said it many times, but you’re so f-ucking good at this kitten.” His comments were complimenting. Of course, I didn’t do this a lot in my previous relationship (my only relationship shall I say), but knowing that I was good at something I didn’t do is quite wonderful.

This went on for a couple of minutes until his ma-nhood got rather frustrated with me, “Turn around.” I smiled as my mouth left his sh-aft and I continued to obey him. “I need to give some love to this beauty of mine.”

He smacked my a-ss again and slid in his c-ock on my wanting pu-ssy. “Uhh..” My fingers were grasping whatever blanket I could from the bed, trying to hold onto the force of him pushing himself on me. “No, I think you’re the one who’s good at this.”

I could tell he was satisfied with my response back, since he continued to ram his co-ck into me, the continued motion of pleasure was building up the ecs-tasy surrounding us. “Oh Kitten, this one isn’t going to take long.”

Me neither. I had been so ho-rny when he came home that I wanted to jump his bones when he walked in the door today, with Lee or without him. I smiled at the very thought of that. Wanting to be with both guys again was extremely turn-ing me on. “Ahhh!”

“I’m guessing it didn’t take long for you either.” Ryan was right. That sole thought of having them both was giving me the goosebumps while this long org-asm.

Ryan kept thrusting until he overcame his own plea-sure.

Afterwards, we both laid in bed, na-ked, but half-covered in the bed sheets. “That was amazing.” I admitted as I kissed him on the cheek and continued to snuggle and cuddle up next to him.

“You were amazing. So obedient, kitten.” I could see the smug smile he was displaying on his face, “Don’t act like you dont like me praising you for it.”

“I have to admit, it’s kind of nice.” I jumped over and kissed him all over his lips and neck, “Hey, I have to ask you something…”

Hopefully none of this was going to start an argument, “What’s rumbling in your head baby?”

“About earlier… were you upset that I got a job?” His demeanor started to shift into an uncomfortable one, “I knew it. You’re mad aren’t you?”

“Yes, it saddens me that I won’t be able to keep you all to myself.” Just when I thought I had unraveled this man, he’s sad about this.

“I won’t be gone all day.” I tried to make him laugh, “If it doesn’t work out, I promise that I will quit the second it becomes too hard.”

“You don’t have to work at all.” He tried to grab me closer to him, playfully placing his hands on my hips, “I don’t mind you being a housewife forever.”

“Ha! I’m sure you wouldn’t, but I don’t want to be here living off of the rest of my money or yours. I’d feel guilty.”

“I’m sure we can reach a settlement in payment”, he winked and smacked my a-ss, “S-ex always works for me.”

“Shut up. Go to bed dork, I have to wake up early for work tomorrow already.” We ended up going for another round before dozing off to sleep.

Ryan had left me another note and fresh coffee in the morning, wishing me good luck for work today. I immediately woke up at seven in the morning to take a quick shower and to get ready.

I decided to wear a pencil skirt with a nice blouse, nothing says back to work than this outfit. As I headed out the door Lee was outside waiting with a Starbucks cup, “Morning?”

“Heard today was the first day to work, just got you some coffee to rev you up.” That was extremely thoughtful of him.

“Thank you.” I widely smiled, “I should probably get going now.” Even though this was nice of him, it was a little awkward that he’s pleased me just a couple of days ago.

“You know, I was thinking that maybe I could take you out to dinner sometime.” Really Lee? My body wanted him, but I was in love with Ryan.

“I don’t think Ryan would approve…”

“I’ll take that as a yes and I’ll make sure to ask Ryan for it.” This guy wasn’t going to take no for an answer. We’ll see what Ryan has to say about that.

“I’ll see you then. Bye Lee!” I waved goodbye and got inside my vehicle.

“Scarlet Ames. I can see that age hasn’t done much to you, but keep you beautiful.” Jacob had me inside his huge office to sign the paperwork needed to hire me to the company.

“Jacob, I’m sure that sexual harrassment isn’t part of your agenda. So let’s get real, why did you hire me here?” He sat down from his pacing, “Hmm, finally a more serious Jacob. I like this.”

“Scarlet, Scarlet, Scarlet. You need a job, so I’m providing you one. Now, whatever eases the eye around here, well, I can’t complain about that.” Of course he was going to be a smooth talker again.

Ever since high school when I had rejected him for Kyle, he said that he would have me one day. Never thought that I was going to end up here, him being my boss. “Oh Jacob. I can say that I’ve truly missed your comments.”

He laughed, “Let me show you where your office is at.” He proceeded to take me across the hall where half a dozen women eyed me with envy. I had to admit, Jacob was a good-looking guy himself.

“I can see that many women admire you here.” This playful bickering between Jacob and I was going to be a fun environment to work with.

He coughed, “About that. I rather not talk about it.” Women around here have definitely slept with his handsome man next to me. “So your office is here. Anything you need about training will be held with me every wednesday, starting at nine am sharp.”

“You got it boss.”

“What is she doing here?” Without needing to turn around, I knew that voice perfectly fine. Ira. “Jacob, darling, I know that you didn’t hire her.”

“Ira.”

“Yeah, whatever. Jacob, can I talk to you in your office?”

“Ira, whatever you say doesn’t matter. Scarlet is going to stay here.” I didn’t have to ask to know that Ira was  currently sleeping with Jacob. Man, I seriously thought I was done with her. Just when things are going great in my life, she appears.

I went back inside my office to try to arrange things. Ira steps inside and closes my door, “Look Ira, since we’re going to be working together, why don’t we try being nice to each other? Even, if we have to fake it.”

“I don’t think so. I will still try my best to get Ryan back. And now that you’ll be working here, I suppose my first goal is to get rid of you.”

She left my office, klinking every heel as she walked away. Fu-ck. I really wanted this to be a good thing, but seems like my life will never be in order.

Chapter Fifteen

“What do you mean that Ira is working at Sunrise Rehabilitation?” I cringed as Ryan spoke her name at our lunch date today. I had taken a break from my first day back working and this was not the way I wanted to start it.

“Exactly what I just said, Ryan.” I picked at the food that didn’t even get to be eaten, “I was talking to Jacob and as he took me to my office, which by the way is awesome, she came in to start insulting me.”

“Fu-ck. I knew she was going to find a way back into my life.” Into his life? More like both of our lives. Ever since in our trip around the country, I thought that Ryan and I could start our life in a calmer way. For the most part, it’s been okay. “What did I tell you? I knew she would be such a rat to do that sh-it.”

“Ryan, don’t let the marine come out of you.” I laughed, I didn’t want for him to be any angrier than he already was, “Can we please enjoy this date. I only have thirty more minutes until I have to start heading back.”

“You’re right.” We finally continued to eat, “Other than her, how has work been?”

“My office is nice.” I smiled. If there was anything that I loved about this new job, was the office shopping that came with it, “You’ll have to come and visit me sometime.”

“Maybe I can swing by after you get settled in.” That would be amazing. I just need him to be in my life entirely. I just didn’t want Ira ruining anything.

“Hey Scarlet, I’m going to need the client data for this month that includes all complaints.” I look up to another co-worker who had come inside to my unfinished office. 

I went to the the file cabinet on the corner of the room, “Here you go.” I handed him the file that included the entire database for this month.

I went back to work on my computer. Jacob had given me a list of things I needed to learn by the end of the day in order to meet with him tomorrow morning. Twenty things on this list. That’s a lot of work. 

Having my small country store was the only place that I’ve ever worked and now I was dreadfully missing it.

Without missing a second, Ira walked in my office, “Can I talk to you?”

“Do I have a choice?” I motioned my hand for her to sit on my chair in front of my desk, “What do you want, Ira?”

“Look.” I listened, “I don’t want to hate you at work, especially since we’re going to spending time here a lot.” She dragged out her words. 

“I agree and I’m glad that you’ve come to that realization.” I looked over at my buzzing phone, I didn’t recognize the number.

“Is that Ryan?” Oh God, Ira. Don’t start with this whole Ryan thing again. How did he even marry this woman? “I am not backing down from pursuing him. He married me once, he’ll do it again.”

“Ira, as long as I’m working here. I will not talk to you about Ryan for anything else other than if he comes to any company events.” She gave me the evil-eye and stood up to walk out of the office.

“This isn’t over.” I’m sure the hell it wasn’t.

The day finally ended, thankfully. I took my purse with me, some files to look over, and locked my office to make sure nobody entered while I was away. As I was walking out, Jacob was still in his office.

“Hey Scarlet, can you come in for a minute?” I walked over to his big, corner office at the end of the hall.

Sitting down wasn’t an option, I wasn’t about to give him any authority over me, “Jacob.”

His right eyebrow rose a little, “I wanted to see how your first day went. Making sure that every employee has a good experience here is my job.”

Chuckling, I leaned against the wall, “Everything went well, Jacob. Trust me, I’m sure you take care of your employees very well.” I was referring to Ira. He can’t hide the fact that his flirtations around Ira were just friendly.

“I didn’t mean it like that. Why don’t you sit down?” I rejected his question. I was not going to sit down and feel inferior to him.

“Thank you, but I would rather be standing up. I’m going to go over the list that you needed from me for tomorrow morning.”

Ira suddenly walked in, “Sugar pie! I’m ready to go home.” She stopped in her tracks once she saw I was in the room. Jacob was immediately embarassed by her actions.

“I’ll be leaving now. Have a good afternoon, Jacob.” I sly-smiled my way out of there, before I started hearing Jacob scolding Ira for what she just said in front of me. There is no way that she still wants Ryan. What is your alterior motive, Ira?

“I’m home!” I felt like one of those wives on movies, “Is anyone home?”

Bummer, I guess Ryan wasn’t here yet. “Scarlet?” I turned around and saw Lee inside the home.

“What are you doing here?”

“Someone is grumpy.” He laughed, “Ryan actually called me to fix the toilet, something about a leak.”

He forgot to mention that to me during lunch, “Oh, Sorry! Work drained the life out of me.” I laughed.

“Maybe there’s something I can do?” What could he possibly do to wake me up? Well, I know a few things, but I’d rather not go there. “I know how to make you feel good, Scarlet.”

He smiled as I blushed, “Very true.” I went to the refrigerator and took out some grapes to snack on, “So do you know what time Ryan will be coming back from work?”

“Ryan, what?” The door had opened as I said that, and in walked Ryan himself. “You look tired, hun.”

I walked over to kiss him, “I am. Good thing is that I have both of you two to keep me company.”

“Is that an invitation?” Lee asked from behind me, “I don’t mind pleasing your worries away.”

Ryan chuckled, “I’m not going to do anything if Scarlet doesn’t want to.” I looked back to Lee and back to Ryan; did I want to open this door again? To have s-ex with both of them?

I knew that if I did, problems could always occur. Ryan didn’t seem bothered by Lee’s statement; perhaps it was okay to love Ryan and like Lee at the same time.

“Um…” I paused and continued thinking. “I don’t know…”

“All in agreement that we shouldn’t let her think about it?” Ryan rose his voice so I could make sure I didn’t mind. Maybe someone else making the decisions for me right now was the best thing.

In seconds, Lee was already undressing the bottom portion of me, while Ryan was undressing the top half. “Well, I can guarantee you guys that I didn’t see this coming when I went to work this morning.”

“Surprises are our thing.” That did take me aback, had they done this before? Or did he just mention it as a metaphor?

I didn’t have time to think about it though. This time, instead of doing it in the living room, they had placed me on top of the bed so I could be comfortable, “I promise I will stop everything if you’re not okay with it.” Ryan looked me straight in the eyes, “Just tell me, okay?”

I nodded my head, “So, where are you guys going to start first?”

“You don’t ask the questions around here, darling.” Lee sly-smiled me as he immediately went down to my nape and started kissing it. Leading his tongue all the way down to my sensitive area.

Even though he wasn’t better at kissing than Ryan; I had to admit that his oral skills, were “Uhhh-mazing.”

Both guys laughed at me, “You’re cute when you’re hor-ny.” Ryan then started to reach below him so I could start stro-king him. I was pretty sure that I wasn’t doing the best at it right now, the jerky motions didn’t mind him though.

If we could record this, the sight would be wonderful. Two handsome and athletic marines were plea-sing me in every way possible. How did I get this lucky?

“Remind me how we got here again”, I managed to croak out, “Because I can’t get enough of this.”

Lee lifted his head, taking away the amazing sensation he was delivering, “Trust me, I can’t either.”

Ryan and Lee decided that they wanted to get right to the nitty-gritty, “Okay Kitten, I’m going to turn you around now. You know me.”

I smiled, “My a-ss.” Honestly, I felt so proud that I was born this way. If my a-ss was keeping us together, then I needed to start hitting up a gym so I could give the man what he wants. After all, I see myself staying with him for a long time.

They turned me around so I could lay flat on my stomach, “F-uck, I haven’t seen my c-ock this big since I was dating back in college.”

My giggles caught the best of me, “You’re too funny, Lee.”

“Not as funny as it’s going to be when your mouth is around my sh-aft.” He smiled back at me, “Come on, darling.”

I gracefully parted my lips and placed it over the tip of his man-hood, “Mmm.” I moaned out my whimpering, wanting moans so he could be even more turned on.

His eyes rolled back to the sensation that I was now delivering to him, “Darling, my little Vixen. You are way too good at this. I can’t believe you’re stuck with this loser.” 

“Mmhmm, watch your fuc-king mouth, Lee.” I could hear the teasing of both of the guy’s egos in the room. I could hear the opening of the lubr-icant bottle from behind. I figured that Ryan was going to go in through my va-gina, but now that I heard the bottle. He was going for my a-ss.

I braced myself while I felt his cold man-hood entering through the an-al region. I removed my mouth from Lee’s co-ck, “Please be gentle, Ry.”

“Always, Kitten.” I continued pleasing Lee while Ryan started to enter me. 

“Mmm…”, the whimpering pains were escaping the sides of my mouth.

Lee started to rub my neck for comfort, “He’s almost in, darling.” I concentrated on suc-king Lee’s sha-ft to step away from the back-side discomfort.

It’s not that I didn’t like it; it was that it hurt like a bit-ch entering it in, after that, everything goes to smooth-sailing.

Almost instantly after the burning did the pleasure and ectasy of s-ex started to kick in. Now I had Lee in the front getting ple-ased and Ryan fuc-king me from behind. I should really pitch this videotaping idea.

“Mmmm.” I continued moa-ning.

“Oh Vixen… Oh God.” Lee was taking his hands and rubbing his head and then pushing mine even further to hit the back of my throat with his man-hood.

Ryan slap-ped my a-ss, “Kitten, you have no idea how hot you look right now.”

I don’t think I can every get away from this. This feeling was too good.

My emotions for both men were shooting through the roof; I knew that sooner than later I would have to tell Ryan about the way that I felt for Lee. But for now. I’m going to enjoy this.

I woke in the morning,  tired . I was in between Ryan and Lee who were both cuddling with me on the bed. I don’t even remember Lee sleeping over last night. “Sh-it.”

Ryan immediately woke up, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m late for work.” I glanced at the time and saw that it was five minutes past eight. Lee woke up and started to get the things I needed for work. 

I quickly brushed my teeth and dressed up, “Thanks guys.”

Lee handed me a mug that contained coffee, “Hopefully this helps!”

Ryan kissed me on the lips before I left, “Love you guys.”

I closed the door and left the house in a hurry. I couldn’t stop thinking about what I had just said. Did I tell Ryan and Lee that I loved them both? So much for waiting to talk to Ryan.

I knew that I was going to mess up one way or another; I just didn’t think that it was going to be this soon. How did all of this even start? It had been almost three weeks the last time that Ryan, Lee, and I had group sex. Was that what it was called anyway?

I don’t even know anymore… “I don’t appreciate you coming in late to work, Scarlet.”

I greeted Jason, “I apologize, Jason. I just had some personal issues this morning.” What was I supposed to say? Sorry, my boyfriend and his best friend fuc-ked me three times last night, so I woke up late? Hell no!

“Is everything okay?” NO Jason, things are NOT okay.

“Yes, sir. Everything is fine. Did you want to continue with the reviewing of the information?” Jason proceeded to ask me questions that pertained to my job description.

“How would you receive clientele information on MS back spasms?” I tried my best answering everything he asked, but some questions phased me. I knew that I was especially distracted by the little scene I did this morning.

I finally went back to my office. A missed text from Ryan only worried me more,  We need to talk.

No smiley-face, no have a good day. I was in big trouble.

“What was Lee doing at Ryan’s house last night?” I hadn’t even noticed that Ira entered my office.

I grunted, “What were you even doing spying on me? Don’t you have anything better to do with your time?”

“No. You ruined my plans last night, so I had to go home alone. I decided, why not check up on little miss home-wrecker.”

“For the last time, Ira. I didn’t ruin anything. You did that ALL on your own.” I started to login into my computer.

“He never came out.” I looked back up at Ira, what the hell was she talking about? “Lee never went back to this house. What were you guys doing?”

SH-IT. She knows. “Ryan and Lee were talking about the Marines and he ended up sleeping over.” Would they even do such a thing when he lives so close?

“I don’t know. They’ve never done that.”

“Maybe not around you. Can you please?” I motioned for her to leave, “I have to get back to work.”

“I’m going to keep my eye on you.” Whatever. I was too worried about my relationship with Ryan to even deal with this right now.

Ryan texted me again,  Please talk to me ASAP.

What’s wrong? Did I do something wrong? I waited for his response.

Ryan called me, “Hey, are you busy?”

“If it’s about this morning. I didn’t mean to say I loved both of you guys… It just came out.”

Ryan started to laugh, “It’s not about that, Kitten. I just wanted to tell you that my parents are going to come over tomorrow. We need to figure out what we want to tell them about us.”

That’s true, he promised to be by my side, but what were we? He’s obviously my boyfriend, but what about Lee? “Oh and Lee is great friends with them too… so he’s going to be there.”

“That’ll relieve the tension, he’s funny anyway.” I laughed, “I thought something bad happened, I need to teach you how to text.”

“I’m fine, Kitten. I’ll be picking them up at the airport tomorrow at four, so maybe you want to start on dinner.”

“Sounds good, Ryan.” I paused, “You are okay with me though, right?” Questioning my judgements were typical with me. This was something that has been happening ever since high school.

“We are great. We just need to talk about what we’re going to do with Lee, but trust me, We. Are. Good.” That was a huge relief, “Just keep me posted and I’ll see you tonight to talk about this.”

“Love you.” He told me he loved me back, but I wasn’t so sure anymore. Now I feel like I love Lee. Seriously… how is this happening to me? So, now I have to figure out what I am with Lee AND be ready to mee Ryan’s parents.

Let’s see how this goes.

Chapter Sixteen

The four-day weekend that I already had from work came at the best time ever.  Ryan had already contacted Lee if he could come over to dinner tomorrow tonight since his parents were going to come over today too.  I wasn’t so sure if it was the best idea, but I was going to cook amazing food just to ease the tension if anything.

I turned my head over to look at Ryan who was still sleeping, “Morning sleepyhead.” I scooted over closer to Ryan and cuddled right next to him, “What are our plans for this weekend?”

“We can do whatever you want to do kitten. I’m okay with staying in bed all day.” He moved closer to me fighting off the morning grogginess.  “I’d take the staying in bed all day if I were you.”

I smiled at him, “You’re too funny. I need to start getting everything ready for when your parents come over. Where are they staying at anyway?”

“They decided to stay at the Holiday Inn… considering that they didn’t want to make things awkward for us here.” He scooted over and patted my a-ss. “Like our constant lovemaking. I can’t bring anyone over; you’re a screamer.”

I started to scoot off from the bed, “Oh my gosh Ryan, shut up!. How are you not stressing? Your parents are coming over, we’ve been dating AND moved in with each other, and then I had s-ex with your best friend!”

“Well, technically I let you… so it was sort of, kind of mutual. And it was hot.” He chuckled as he got off the bed to head to the bathroom to washen up.

“Yeah, but what does that mean of us? Are we the polygamy or polyamorous relationship type? The fact that he’s coming over only stresses me out more too, but I guess it will relieve the tension of your parents being here at the same time.” I hadn’t even realized that I was pacing back and forth while I was talking to him.

After brushing his teeth he walked over to me and set his hands on my shoulders, “Kitten. Everything will be fine. Now tell me you love me.”

I blushed, “I love you.” He pecked me a kiss on the lips. I don’t know how he always managed to make that work, but him demanding me to tell him that I love him always relieved any situation we found ourselves in. “Fine. I’ll stop stressing out, but what do you think I should wear?”

“What you usually wear, babe.” He put on his v-cut shirt that showed off his amazing muscles on his arms, “I’m gonna go like I usually do, comfortable.”

“Of course”, I laughed, “I’ll just go nak-ed.”

“That works for me”, he laughed as he took me back onto the bed and started to kiss me all over.

“Ryan, we don’t have time for this..”, he kissed my neck and proceeded to my lips, “But it feels so good.”

He picked me up and placed me in the middle of the bed and started to undress me with his eyes, then his rough hands followed, “I can do this  all  day. You are so beautiful, kitten.”  He quickly turned me around and started to kiss his favorite body part of mine, my a-ss. 

“Oh Ryan, we should stop. I have a lot of things to do today…” He didn’t care though. Once he got his hands on my a-ss, he knew he had to have it.  In just seconds, he removed the jeans he had just a while ago put on and lubri-cated his man-hood. 

With one push, he melted my stressors away, “Fu-ck. I will never get tired of this. I know I tell you all the time so it should mean nothing by now, but I promise Kitten, I will  never  get tired of this.”  He thrusted strong thrusts and pushed deeper to get the full sensations inside me flowing.

“I. Think. I believe you!” I had screamed myself at that last part once he started to rev me up like a motorcycle. I don’t know if he’s just gotten better, or he’s found the stuff that I love when we make love, but my org-asm was quickly approaching.  Which could be a good thing so I can get started on all the things that I needed to do, but also a bad thing, because I didn’t want this to end. “Oof, aHHH, Mmm!”

“Told ya you were a screamer. I can’t bring my parents around to this.” I could feel his smirk from behind me, “But I don’t mind the view at all.”

Thrustring as fast and evenly he could, he managed to take two org-asms out of me before nine in the morning, “I can’t anymore.. “

Once again, he didn’t care. He picked me back up and continued to thrust for his own pleasure. He loved seeing me squirm and move as I tried to hold back the sensation of a major orga-sm.  Not only that, but he wanted to finish with a bang. “There ya go, Kitten. C’mon.” I could tell he was getting close too. His thrusts started to get all jittery as if he wanted to finish already, but was trying to hold back the sensation himself. “Mmm, Fu-ck. This fu-cking a-ss, I fu-cking love it.” He spanked it so hard I could already tell that it was going to leave his hand mark on there.

More to remind me of the naughty deed we just did, “I’m cum-ming! Ah, Ah, Ahhh!”

“Mmm, Fu-ck yeah. Agh, Kitten.” We dropped down to the bed we had just woken up to, “We should probably start on all of those errands…”

“You think?” I giggled as I kissed him and cleaned ourselves up to leave before I really didn’t have any time.

“I’ll stay here and clean up the place, plus I’m going to pick them up at the hotel and bring them back here.”

“What! So I’m going to be a domesticated wife and just be here and wait for you? I don’t know…” Did I just say wife? Great, now I’m the one going insane. “I meant girlfriend…”

“Wife sounds like a pretty good idea right about now.” I blushed with that instant response. Even at the times that I felt he was going to get mad at me, he still loved me just the way I was.

“I’m you’re girlfriend. And I love you. And I shall go to the grocery store to make our dinner for tonight. Six sharp, right?”

He chuckled, he loved seeing me nervous, that’s the emotion he loves seeing in me when we made love, “Six. Be Careful.”

I took my keys and left to the grocery store, now what was I making again?

It didn’t take me long to search up a recipe on google that wasn’t too difficult and time-consuming for tonight’s dinner. I had gone to the grocery, gotten my ingredients, and finally arrived back at the house to start preparing the food.

Ryan had texted me earlier that he went to go run some errands with his parents and then warn me when they were on their way back. “Okay Scarlet, we got this!”

Pecorini Pasta with fresh tomato, basil, and italian sausage was going to be on tonight’s menu.  The stress that I was going through was nothing compared the stress that I had when I was cheating on Kyle. Something about being with Ryan just felt right.  Now I’m here, cooking dinner to meet his parents. How wonderful.

I started boiling the penne pasta and pulled out my skillet to mix together ripe tomatoes, italian sausage, very little onion and very little garlic. “Gotta have some flavor in there.” I smiled at myself; there wasn’t nothing better than feeling like you were accomplishing something.

While waiting for the food to cook, every once in a while I would stir the skillet mix and start making fresh lemonade.  Thankfully, fresh lemonade was easy to make and I had the perfect jug for it.  A clear, glass jug that I had cut slices of limes and lemons in order to make it look pretty and add extra flavor.

BEEP BEEP. BEEP BEEP. 

Yes! The timer finally relieved the tension and I mixed the penne pasta, homemade marinara, and the italian sausage mixture together in a giant bowl that I placed carefully on the table.

Now I only had very little time to get ready.  I quickly glanced at my clock, 5:45 pm. Crap!  I ran to the bedroom that Ryan and I had made love in the morning. Yes, that mark was still there.  Need to hide that for sure!

I put on a respectable dress that had a nice tan-pinkish color to it that resembled a country style sundress.  Ryan had already texted me that they were five minutes away.  The door that knocked quickly jolted my emotions from calm to anxious.

I opened the door and greeted, “Oh, it’s you.” I laughed as Lee had made a what-do-you-mean-it’s-me face.

“Scarlet, don’t stress out. Ryan’s parents are cool. They’re going to love you. My parents would if they were alive.” I didn’t even know Lee had lost his parents already.

I held his hand, “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t worry about it. I didn’t really get to know them much. That’s why I’ve always been so close to Ryan’s parents. Anyway, do you need any help with anything? You’ve got my extra pair of hands.” I smiled at his confidence.

“Then help me quickly clean up!” I had gotten rid of a few stuff already, but I still had some dishes laying around.  Lee and I cleaned up as fast as we could.

“What do I get for helping you?” I could tell he wanted a little extra on the side.

“You’re the one who offered, so nothing.” I coyly smiled back at him, “Plus, I think I hear them coming.”

“Quick kiss?” I eyed him directly and agreed to a kiss on the cheek.

Ryan opened the door to his home and entered inside with his parents.  His dad was around the same height as him, six inches, and his mom had a petite figure, but was dressed to impress with jewelry hanging from her neck.

I looked at Ryan’s eyes for approval and stepped forward to greet them, “Hi, Hi. Thanks for coming over. I’m Scarlet Ames… Ryan’s girlfriend. It’s so very nice to finally meet you.”

I could feel a little bit of heat from Lee who looked disappointed with the ‘girlfriend’ title, “Well, finally we get to meet you Scarlet. To be completely honest, Ryan never even said a word about you.” Ouch, didn’t expect that.

“Only, because I knew how you would get mother. She’s goes crazy like a police investigator.” That made sense I suppose. “Sorry if I wanted to keep my life just a tad bit private.”

Ryan’s father had come over to greet me with a hug, “Scarlet. You are even beautiful than in the pictures.”

“Thank you.” I smiled back at him, come to think of it, I didn’t even know their names yet.

“So these are my parents, Jack and Sophia.” Ryan gave them a proper introduction by giving me their names. He could tell I was struggling with what to say.

“Lee!” With an instant, Sophia rushed to pull Lee in for a hug and squeezed him as tight as she could, “I’m so glad you’re here. How are you?”

“Very good actually. Ryan invited me over and of course I couldn’t say no.” Typical Lee was being his charming self. It actually… made me like him more.

“Why don’t we all sit down? I’ve prepared the table and we can eat while we talk.” I shyly responded to everyone in a calm voice so we could finally eat and get this over with. I was dreading the questions that were going to arise during this dinner.

Everyone finally gathered at the table while passing the bowls around to start our dinner, “This looks delicious, Scarlet. I was telling Sophia I wasn’t sure you were going to make, considering we don’t know much about you.”

“Ha. Yeah, well Ryan is very much to himself when it comes to people.” It reminded me of the first time that I heard about Ira, she wasn’t exactly introduced in the most ‘normal’ way.

“How long have you been dating?” Welp. The questions begin. It didn’t take long for Sophia to start questioning if I was exactly meant for her son, quite understandable considering I didn’t know much about them either.

“Mother, I’m sure these questions can wait. Why don’t we enjoy this meal?” Ryan glanced at me quickly to assure me that everything was going to be okay. Or so I hoped.

“Awe, come on Ryan. I want to hear how long you two lovebirds have been together.” I’ve had s-ex with you Lee! That should’ve counted for something instead of sabotaging this dinner.

“It’s okay.” I smiled, “Well, we’ve actually been together for almost six months now. I know it’s not entirely a long time… but I’ve never met anyone like him.” I could tell Lee had rolled his eyes. It didn’t take me long to realize that he was a little jealous it wasn’t the other way around.

“Mmhm. Don’t you think it’s a little too soon to be living together so quickly?” I chuckled when I noticed Jack’s arm nudging on his wife’s arm. “It’s a valid question!”

“Mother, I think we both know that times have changed and in this generation it’s good to live with someone to get to know them better. I know I have.” Phew. Ryan got that one. I honestly wasn’t going to choke on my own lemonade if he hadn’t answered.

“I can tell that you two make a good couple. I’m proud of you son.” Jack put his hand on Ryan’s shoulder and patted him for a few seconds before returning to finish his plate in front of him.

“At least she ain’t Ira, am I right?” Lee had to go there, but it relieved a lot of the tension. If Ryan’s parents were so warming to me after that, Ira definitely messed up to the point of no return. And she thinks that she can get him back? Pfft, yeah right.

“I’m honestly really happy that you two were able to make it here tonight. I completely love your son, so you don’t have to worry about me not taking care of him. I’d do anything for him.” I looked at Ryan’s eyes, deeply making and feeling a connection through the touch of our hands. Yes, the glares that we were receiving from the table made it a tad awkward, but I really did love him.

“Ugh, enough of this sappy, lovey-dovey crap” Lee joked.

“Thank you for inviting us, Scarlet. I know I’m an overprotective mother, but I have to be. Especially after how Ira left him, you can never be too careful.” Sophia pulled me in for a hug that completely relieved the stress I had been feeling all night.

“Your words are too kind. It was really nice meeting you Jack and Sophia. You’ll have to come back soon!” I smiled as Lee and I walked them to Ryan’s vehicle.

“I’ll be back soon, I’m just going to drop them off at their hotel.” I waved goodbye as Lee and I went back inside the house to clean up.

“That went awesome!” I excitedly shouted as I let myself free onto the couch, “I was so worried that they weren’t going to like, but they do, and now I feel like I can do whatever I want, because I’m so happy!”

“Woah there cowgirl, you’re not done until you tell me what’s going on.” I looked at Lee’s emotionless face.

I pulled myself up from the couch, “What do you mean?”

“Um, for one instance. What the hell are we? Don’t tell me you just love Ryan only and not admit to any feelings to me.” I suddenly felt the stress come back onto me.

“I honestly don’t know what to say. I’m not ready for this conversation, Lee.” I got off from the couch and stood up to start cleaning, “I don’t know what I want.”

“But you have feelings for me, I know you do.” What was I supposed to tell him? I didn’t know what I wanted. I love Ryan, there’s no reason on why to continue this relationship if it won’t ever be something serious.

“I do… but it’s wrong.” I quietly admitted, barely enough for him to hear me, but I know he did. “It’s not normal in this world to be with more than one guy, that’s crazy!”

“People do it though. I love you and that’s that. We can make it work.”

“What about Ryan?”

“What about him? We’ve been friends since I can remember. We can make this work.” He gets closer to me, makes me stop cleaning whatever I was picking up, “Scarlet, you are the sexiest and most beautiful woman I have ever seen.”

“Lee.. stop.” I could feel the back of my neck crinkling and tickling me down my spine.

“You’re the smartest, funniest, and cutest person I know I’m ever going to meet. Ryan’s a lucky son of a b-itch for meeting you first. Or else I would’ve put a ring on that finger a long time ago.” He pulled in for a kiss and started to push me against the kitchen wall.

“I can’t, Lee. I can’t.” He pulled away and I could feel that he was turned on. I never thought that I would have to make a decision between two guys. When I was with Kyle… things just seemed like it was meant to be. That he was the only type of person that I would be able to get in life. 

Now I have these hot Marine men fighting for me. Well, fighting to all be together. 

Both of us heard the door knob unlocking to the front door of the house, “That went swell.” Ryan had walked inside the house to Lee and I close to each other again, but in a serious mood. “What’s going on?”

“Ryan, I love Scarlet.” I gazed at Lee who had come out and said what I was feeling for him too. “Now, you can’t tell me that she doesn’t feel the same way for me too. I didn’t know this sh-it was going to happen between all of us, but it did. And now I can’t stop thinking about her. I can’t stop wanting her. And I won’t stop loving her.”

Ryan sighed, “I know man. All of this is fu-cked up and it happened, but it’s not for me to choose.” Both men looked in my direction.

I started to cry, “I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say. I do admit, I love both of you two, but I just. Don’t. Know.”

What is Scarlet going to say? WOAH. Make sure to vote and comment what you think should happen in the next chapter! XO, Zed.

Chapter Seventeen

“Please don’t make me choose, Lee. You know who I’m going to pick.” That’s all I could say. With that, Lee left angrily from the house. “I feel terrible.”

“Look, he’s my friend, but this was never supposed to be anything serious. I just wanted to fulfill your fantasy in some way.” Ryan didn’t seem hurt by this. Which is a good thing. If anything, he was completely understanding.

“Do you think he’ll ever talk to me again?” What can I say? I felt guilty, sad, and hurt. I didn’t want to admit that I love Ryan more, but it’s the truth. It was the only thing that I could’ve said at a time like this. I mean, seriously. I just met Ryan’s parents. This was just too screwed up already.

“Don’t feel guilty, Kitten. I can see your face and I don’t want you to feel like this.” I started to cry. Not the soft-crying that I usually do, but the hard, hot tears running down my face.

I walked to our bedroom, “I just want to please everyone, Ryan.”

He jumped on top of the bed, “Kitten. In life, you’ll never be able to please everyone. Trust me. I learned that the hard way.”

There was no way I could ever recover from this. The humiliation that I must’ve put him through. I think life was a little easier when it was just Ira trying to screw up our relationship. Now, I have someone else’s feelings to worry about. And I’ve completely broken his heart. “I love him too though.. you know that right?”

“Yes, I know you do. We just got too close.”

“Are you mad at me?” I looked at him straight in the eyes, to see if he would lie to me, “You can be honest.”

“I’m not. It’s my fault that you’re feeling like this. We just should’ve not done this.” Ryan started to undress me to get me comfortable in bed. The dinner went fine and now I had to deal with this. Every day was something different, another screw-up on my part.

“Tell me you love me.” I looked at Ryan who was next to me on the bed. “Tell me that you’ll always love me.”

“I love you, Scarlet.” He pushed me on the bed and wiped away my tears, “I’ll always love you.” He got on top of me and started to kiss my neck, slowly and softly. Mmm, this feels wonderful.

“Are we going to play this game?” I laughed as he continued to place kisses on me. He lifted up my dress and started to put his hands under, pushing my under-wear aside to insert his fingers in me. “Ryan, c’mon, don’t.”

“Kitten, I know you want this.” He continued to insert his fingers inside me, one at a time until he had almost his entire fist in me, “How does that feel?”

“Mm, you know how that makes me feel.” I coyly smiled as I arched my back until my bre-asts were already pointing to the ceiling. I could feel my juices wetting the insides of my under-wear and the bedsheet. “You know it’s pretty hard to clean these sheets.”

“Yeah, but I know it reminds you of me, so that’s the good thing about it.” He smiled with his gorgeous smile and finally pulled off my under-wear to the side of the bed and inserted his pen-is inside me.

“Oof.” My dress was still on me, but quickly getting wrinkled, “So much for ironing this dress.”

“You don’t need it anymore anyway.” With his strong hands he ripped the front seam and started to pull it off of me like it didn’t even hold anymore.

“Ryan!” I laughed, “That was expensive. I bought it specifically for this night.”

“Exactly. You bought it specifically so I can rip it off of you.” He thrusted as he slurred each word. Obviously, I wasn’t the only one turned on about this.

Ryan scooted me up and put a pillow under my back to boost me up, it provided extra stability in order to thrust even harder. He fuc-ked as hard as he could, “Very demanding today.”

His pelvic muscles were making its way towards me, every movement was the for the sole purpose of pleasing me, “Honestly, Lee can love you. But he won’t ever have you completely.” He thrusted even harder, kissing me at the same time while grabbing ahold of one of my breasts, “You’re mine, Kitten. I don’t like sharing.”

“Is it so wrong that I’m SO pleased to hear you say that.” I smiled as I pushed him off of me to straddle him. With one bang, I had pushed his pen-is inside me, jumping up and down on his shaft to let the girls bounce up and down. “DON’T push me back down so you can fu-ck me from behind. I want you to look at me.”

“Kitten…” This was unusual for him. He was always the demanding one, the one in charge, but not for today. Today he was my wonderful, marine, that I loved oh-so-much! I wanted to see his facial reactions when I fuc-ked him. “Sh-it.”

He caught ahold of my hips and helped me go faster and harder, “Ahh, this is not what I had in mind, but I’ll take it.” 

Our groans and moans surrounded the bedroom and even though the A.C. was on, it felt so hot in this room. Our bodies were sweating. My heels were leaving imprints on the bed while his dog tags were jumbling up. “Kitten, you’re squirming.”

“No reason.” I could feel my face blushing, the heat of it was only making this seem even harder. My org-asm was close to bursting, if not, already bursting. He caught my hips and grinded it to my g-spot. “Oh no!”

“What’s wrong, Scarlet?” With that sentence I felt like I was peeing. From the bottom of me, juices were coming out. “Kitten!”

Was I in trouble? This is so embarassing. “I didn’t pee, did I?”

“No”, Ryan freely fuc-ked me again, “Absolutely not.” With quick, jerky moves he came at an instant. I guess me squirting was a huge turn-on.

’That was new.“

“Very new.” He lifted me up off his pen-is and set me on the bed to go down on me, “Let’s do it again.”

“Mkay!”

Chapter Eighteen

“You know, my parents are still here in town. I think my mother wanted to go shopping with you.” I looked at Ryan who was still awake lying down next to me on the bed.

I shuffled in the sea of blankets, “How did you know I was still awake?”

His smile was almost too noticeable, even in the dark, “Your thoughts were speaking too loud. Even for a quiet night like this.” I knew what he said was cheesy, but I guess little things like that made me feel more connected to him.  He knew me too well. Unfortunately, I had been thinking too loud.  The whole Lee thing didn’t help, not one bit.

“I haven’t been able to sleep.” I could feel his arm getting closer to mine, “Tell me.” I thought for a minute.

“Tell you what, Kitten?”

“Tell me a secret that nobody knows. I won’t judge and I won’t even respond back. I just want to know something about you that nobody has had the liberty to hear.” I laughed as I finished covering myself up with the blankets.

“Hmm, I don’t know. It seems as though you know everything about me already.” His sarcasm was seeping through quite noticeably. 

I giggled, “Whatever.  I get that we’re completely honest with each other, but I know there’s something nobody knows.”

“Let’s see. What can I say that will entertain this wide-awake Kitten of mine.” He paused for a moment, “I have honestly never met anyone like you. I’m going to make you my wife one day, Kitten.”

I turned on my night-lamp on the nightstand and stood up to face him, “Ry… Do you mean that?” I had heard it many times and I’m sure to people who knew me wasn’t a secret that I was head over heels for this guy, but something about admitting things at three in the morning just felt right.

“Of course I do. Scarlet Ames, you’re going to be my wife one day. I mean that with all my heart.” I jumped on top of him to face his face, legs over his body as I straddled him. I bathed him with kisses up to his neck finishing to his lips; I honestly don’t know what I do to get a man this amazing, but I definitely will love him until the day I die.

“Hey…” I stood up as I stopped kissing him, “Do you think that your parents liked me? I mean, I know it must’ve been a shock that their son is living with someone he’s barely known for just a couple of months, but I don’t think tonight went  that bad.”

“Don’t worry about it. They loved you.” He tucked me back in bed, “Now get some rest. You’re gonna wear me out.”

“You. Worn out. I wish.” I giggled. “Ryan, seriously though… your parents do like me right?”

“Yes, Scarlet, they do. My mom did mention one thing though as I was dropping them back off to their hotel.”

“Oh?” The slightest curiosity really did kill the cat.

He shuffled in his blankets, “She mentioned that she could tell I’m really happy. Either that, or my relationship with Ira was way more destructive than she thought.”

“I would hope the first reason…” I kissed his cheeks once and went back to my side of the bed.

He came and placed a kiss on my cheeks now and went back to his side, “Of course.”

After that early morning talk with Ryan, my life spun around to bring me stress all at once. I had woken up late, showered, dressed, and was ready to go shopping with Sophia.

“Darling, how was your night?” I was definitely not going to let her know that Ryan and I had stayed up talking about the future. That could easily scare her off.

“Um, tiring.” I smiled, “I was so stressed out with yesterday’s dinner and then with work, I guess I had really worn myself out.” Perhaps sex with Ryan and Lee had also taken it’s toll.

She placed her hand on my shoulder, “Awe, you shouldn’t have worried yourself! Jack and I are easily pleased. I think we were both more than hungry that we would’ve eaten anything.”

I laughed, “Well then! Even if my food tasted bad, you wouldn’t have noticed it. What a relief.” We were actually getting along pretty well. I was constantly worried of her liking me that I had forgotten Ryan and Lee had come by to be with Jack. Girls with girls and guys with guys.

Not only that, but I could tell that Lee had been ignoring me the entire time. I’m not sure if I should call it awkward, but well… it was awkward. “So Lee, how have you been getting along with Scarlet. Any secrets I should know about.”

I could hear Jack’s conversation from a mile away. I instantly glanced and Ryan and then back at Lee who I blushed in front of and looked down with guilt and shame, “Jack, you know me. I easily get swoon with the ladies. Especially the pretty ones.”

Well, at least he was being considerate of my feelings for his family and Ryan. I occasionally glanced at Ryan who looked like he had no worries in the world. He was truly enjoying himself. “I’m surprised the mall isn’t as packed as last holidays. You couldn’t even get around people.”

“I mentioned to Ryan why he stays here, he can get stationed anywhere now.” I suspected that Sophia wasn’t happy her son was in the military, but what mom would? You have a son that has gone to Afghanistan or Iraq and back, survived, and then called to go over again? It must be scary. I don’t know how I would feel if Ryan had to leave again.

“Mother, please be kind.” Ryan came over to hold my hand and hugged me from behind, slightly carrying me, “Honestly, I’ll go wherever Scarlet wants to go.”

I smiled, “Scarlet, please convince him to come back home then.” Sophia winked at me as if giving me the heads up for having him in my pocket.

“Decisions. Decisions.” I laughed.

We stopped at a restaurant inside the mall that was sort-of on the fancy side, but still casual, “So we’re going to end up leaving tonight. Your father actually has a doctor appointment he needs to get to that we completely forgot about.”

“Yeah, that happens when you start getting older.” Jack drank some of his beer and continued speaking to Lee and Ryan at their side of the table.

“What appointment is it for?” Ryan looked a little concerned. “Anything serious?”

“No, don’t worry son. Just a regular check-up. Can’t be too careful.”

“I’m sure you’ll do fine, Jack!” Lee patted him on his back and continued eating his food, “I’m definitely going to miss you all. Such a pleasure to have seen you again.”

“Lee, you know you’re my favorite son.” Ryan glared at his mother as she made the comment, “Okay, Okay. I love both of my sons.”

“I hope you will come back to visit, Jack and Sophia. It was really nice meeting you.” I smiled in most sincere smile ever.

“OH MY GOD! Jack! Sophia! I didn’t know you were going to be in town!” Everyone turned around and saw Ira leaning against my chair trying to say ‘Hi’ to everyone. “Ryan, baby. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Oh… Ira. I somehow forgot that you lived in this state too. Must’ve slipped my mind.” Jack said out loud as she tried hugging him, but settled by shaking his hand.

“Jack, such a joker. How long are you all staying? I must treat you for dinner!” Ira was so delusional that she forgot to mention that she had company.

“Jacob, I had no idea you were going to be here.” I glanced at Ira who looked embarrassed that she was with someone while trying to ‘pretend’ to still be with Ryan.

“Jack, Sophia, please meet our boss Jacob Parker from Sunrise Rehabilitation.” Everyone greeted him with professionalism as Ira continued making a fool out of herself.

“Ira, thank you for stopping by. But if you don’t mind, I would like to continue eating our family dinner in peace.” Woah there, Mama! Sophia knew how to play the sarcasm game.

“Oh. Yes. I see.” Ira started walking away as she waved goodbye, “Until next time! Have a safe trip back.” I think even Jacob was embarrassed on the way that Ira had acted.

“I didn’t know you two knew each other that well. Hell, I didn’t even know you worked at the same place.” Ryan’s mother rose an eyebrow as if saying that I was psychotic for even being associated with her.

I finished my margarita in one gulp, “I assure you. It was not by choice. In fact, you can’t imagine how hard it is to get rid of her.”

“Oh, I can imagine it. Be watchful of her. I don’t trust that venomous snake.”

Getting back home was a relief. We dropped off Jack and Sophia and said our goodbyes as they were going to catch the night flight back home. “That went swell.” I smiled at Ryan who was driving.

“Leave it to Ira to ruin a perfectly, good day.” He lowered the radio, “BUT I’m glad that my mother got along with you.”

“Hey, do you think that Lee will be mad at me for a long time?”

“Nah. He’ll get over it.”

“Why are you taking this so lightly? I mean… how can he get over it? Ryan, I don’t think you fully understand. I love him…”

Ryan stopped the vehicle and pulled over on the side, “I know you do. And I love you.”

“But I love both of you”, Oh no! I could feel the hot tears running down my face. “I don’t know what to do. Maybe I should take time off to be by myself. I don’t know. I just… I love you the most, but now I have other feelings that shouldn’t be there. And it makes me feel guilty and selfish.”

“This is entirely my fault. I went too far and we shouldn’t have done this. I just wanted to please you. Tell me what you want to do and I”ll do it.“

“I want to love only you. Only you. “

I climbed over to his seat and straddled him. Car s-ex was never comfortable, but I needed him. I needed to feel wanted. Loved. And Kissed.

Thankfully, this dress was easy access. Ryan ripped my under-wear and positioned me on his pen-is that was ready for me, “Mmm.”

He was taking it slow. Especially when I wanted him to take control. To make me feel the heat all over my body. “I know what you’re thinking, Kitten. Stop thinking.”

I let my mind free. Just concentrating on the motions of my hips and his strong hands holding onto them, “I hate it when you’re right.”

He grinned, “I’m not always right. Look at what I did. I fuc-ked up. I made you love someone else. Not that I’m wounded, because I know how to make you love me.”

“You know that I’ll do anything for you, Ryan.” I could feel my c-um juices spilling down the insides of my thighs. We’re gonna have to get the seats cleaned and washed. I laughed at the dumb comments in my head. I didn’t want to stray away from the actual pleasing going along, but this was too funny.

“What are you smiling about?”

“My stuff… it’s going to stain your car seats.”

He chuckled, “I am pleasing you, fuc-king you, and all you can think about is dirtying my car seats?” He gave me one hard slap on my a-ss and fuc-ked me harder, “Naughty girl. You definitely need to be punished for that. Go outside. Get nak-ed for me.”

“Ryan… What if people see?”

“Take a little bit of risk, honey.” He winked at me.

I slowly went outside with my dress and went in front of the vehicle. I looked around to see if there were people around, but this part of the city was the outskirts. Ryan turned on the headlights and lowered down his window, “The dress, darling.”

In one move, I lowered my dress that fell down to the ground, “There. Can I come back in?” I admit, this was fun, but definitely wouldn’t be fun if cops came or someone just happened to be in the area.

“Finger yourself.” I couldn’t see his face with the shining headlights, but I could tell the bas-tard was grinning.

I lived to please him. So I put on a show. The best show of his life. So good that he couldn’t resist as he came outside and fuc-ked the hell out of me. There on the pavement of the road, Ryan was fuc-king me, hard. “Silly girl.”

Chapter Nineteen

First off, thank you for being patient. I apologize for any grammatical errors as well. Enjoy. XOXO

“What do you mean the reports aren’t in yet?” I looked up at Jacob who was upset at me over something I had turned in about a week ago.

“Jacob, I turned them in to you. If you lost them, please don’t put that blame on me. We’re professionals.” Or did I forget to submit them? This was a huge account, if Sunrise Rehabilitation were to lose this account, my a-ss would be fired. “I can help you look if you would like.”

“Scarlet, I’ve looked all over. I’ve checked my box and everything. Nothing.” I looked over to his facial expression that was displaying his hidden anger towards me. It wasn’t my fault he was so messy. His desk only proved my response towards him. “I will go over and look again.”

“Let me help.”

“Do you have a back-up?” He placed his hand on my shoulders, “Scarlet, we need this.”

“Well it’s a good thing I’m a constant worrier, don’t worry, I have a back-up. It just doesn’t include the changes you told me to do.” We walked back to my office that displayed a much more organized, clean space. “You should really consider organizing your desk…”

He chuckled, “You would like that very much, hmm?”

“Actually I would!” I laughed, “You know how that drives me crazy.”

Jacob got a little closer to retrieve the file, “What else drives you crazy, Scarlet?” I turned around and quickly glanced at him; is he really doing this? Why would I even flirt back with him when he is dating my archenemy?

“Jacob…” He quickly took on my rejection as he took the file and started walking out of my office.

“Oh, by the way. A couple of us here at the office will be meeting at Villo tonight. If you want to come.”

“The bar?” I remember Ryan mentioning something about it, but going to the bar with these coworkers. With Ira there? I don’t think that’s a good idea. “Um, yeah. I’ll try to make it.”

He smiled, “Well, good. Hope to see you there.”

So much for coming back to work from the holidays and with this entire mess happening. I sat back down in my chair, mmm. So good to just sit down and just think. I haven’t had much of that lately.

Many things have been running in my head. Ryan. Lee. I seriously have no idea how I have been handling everything. “You’ve heard?” And my moment of silence comes to an end. I look up towards Ira who was wearing pink high heels with a pink polka-dot dress. “If you’re coming to Villo tonight, I suggest you don’t bring Ryan.”

“Why wouldn’t I? He’s my boyfriend.” I think her hearing that word come out of my mouth made her even angrier. 

“Considering that he was my ex-husband before, it probably wouldn’t be a good idea, Scarlet.”

“I guess it’s a good thing that you can’t tell me what to do.” I smiled at her as she walked away frustrated. Oh crap. Ryan is probably not gonna want to come to this though… Shit.

I quickly dialed his cell phone, even though I didn’t think he was going to answer it. The Marines were pretty strict throughout the day. “Hello?”

“Ry?”

I could hear his chuckle loud on the phone, “Yes dear, is everything okay?” I sighed as I thought how happy he made me. I love him so much. He’s gonna be so mad, but here it goes.

“Umm..”

“Umm, what’s going on babe?”

“So…we’re kind of going to go to a bar tonight.” I cringed at almost spilling out Ira’s name right at the end of that sentence.

There was no pause behind that though, he loved drinking, “I don’t see a problem with that. You know I love me some beers.”

“BUT… Everyone at work is going to be there. Including Jacob and Ira.” I could almost feel the flames coming out from my office phone, “Please don’t be mad.”

“Well, I can’t say that I’m happy. Considering how much hatred I have for her. But this is for your job.” How did I get stuck with having an amazing guy by my side again? “I guess we can grace them with our prescence.”

I laughed, “Thanks Ryan.” He explained to me that he was having a tough day at work today anyway, so some beers could do the trick.

Jacob had emailed me the final revisions on the reports that had been sent out to corporate for the new account we were trying to pick up. He also made sure to email everyone an invite to Villo.

By 5 ’o clock, everyone had pretty much ran outside the double doors to get ready for our get-together tonight at Villo. I was wondering if it was a good idea to even head over there.

I had gotten back home with the intention of getting ready, but I didn’t feel like it anymore. What’s the point in it if only bad things can come from this anyway?

“Scarlet, you home?” I was in the bedroom contemplating the shower while Ryan had just walked in, “Hey, I figured you were going to get ready. The party starts in two hours doesn’t it?”

“Yes. Do you think we should go? I mean, I don’t know.” I sighed loudly as I laid flat on my back on top of the bed, “What if Ira decides to pull her shit again?”

“Kitten, you know you want to go. All of your coworkers will be there. Plus, I love it when you get a little drunk.” He was referring to that time we had drank and I got a little too friendly. With everyone in fact.

I stood up, “Ugh, you’re right.”

He started walking towards my way and kneeled down to the my shoes slowly taking them off, “We can take a shower together if you’d like. It’ll save time.”

His motives were screaming way too loudly in this room, “Mmhm. Is that what they’re calling it nowadays?” The way Ryan smiled was too contagious also, “A quickie won’t hurt.”

He had gotten the water at the right temperature, “Get naked and get in, kitten.”

“Gladly.” I stepped out of my clothes and got inside the warm shower. Ryan wasn’t too far ahead as he climbed inside next to me without even waiting a second to put his hands all over me. “Someone was hor-ny.”

“Turn around.” I wasn’t even able to turn around until he pushed me against the shower wall and started fuc-king me from behind. His grunts were sporadic this time. He didn’t care about pleasing me; he wanted to get himself off, but tease me at his fullest.

My moans must’ve been heard even outside since we could hear the neighbor’s dog barking at the noisiness in here. Ryan pushed in his di-ck even further and holding my hand barely reaching the showerhead. The water running down my face and behind my back was nice and warm; making every thrust even more intense.

The thrusts were getting harder and deeper. It wasn’t long before both of us would finish each other off. “You’re excited, aren’t you?”

He knew me too well. “Uhh.. Ry.”

“I know, baby.” In an instant we were both breathing heavily under the running water as Ryan was resting his body on top of mine.

“Party time?”

“Party time.” We both quickly got out of the shower to start getting ready. People would start to be arriving soon at Villo and we would end up being the last ones. “I’m not happy that we’re going to see Ira, but I’ll deal with it.”

I smiled I at him, he truly was amazing.

“I didn’t know!” I angrily got out of the vehicle as we got to Villo. Apparently, I had worn a dress that was way too provocative and APPARENTLY Jacob has a thing for me. “If there is something that I do know is that I wore this for you. Because you’re my date.”

So much for sex earlier. Ryan had never acted this way. The jealous type, but it’s kind of cute. It proves that he does have feelings for me. “Let’s go inside. I’ll get you a drink.”

No! He doesn’t get to act like this. He’s supposed to be in love with me. Ira is here and she’s going to notice that we’re fighting. I guess everything isn’t perfect. “You decided to show up, great!” Jacob had greeted us at the entrance.

Almost everyone is here. I had to act somewhat professional as I was in Human Resources, but my dress gave the ‘Let’s Party’ vibe. “Nice… Dress.”

“Thank you, Ira.” She was being a little too nice tonight. “Can I have an Amaretto Sour, please?”

Ryan had already gotten a Dos Equis beer to start with in the night, “Jacob.”

“Oh, you must be Ryan, right? I remember meeting you…when I also met your family.” I was overhearing their conversation. That was the day that Ira was acting stupid, acting like if Ryan was still hers.

A couple of drinks through the night and I was already dancing my heart away on the dance floor, “Ryan, come dance with me!”

Ryan had nodded in a little a bit while Jacob came over to take his place. “Woooo!” My eyes were starting to get blurry from all the dancing and alcohol. “Yes, I love this song!”

“I love that dress on you, Scarlet.” Jacob was starting to get closer. I tried pushing him away, but he was getting way too close. 

Jacob pinned me against Villo’s wall, “Jacob, stop. What the hell are you doing?”

“Hey dude, get the fu-ck off of her!” Everything went blank as I woke up with a rag against my head.

“Ry?”

“Baby are you okay? You’ve been out for thirty minutes.” Thirty minutes?? What the hell happened? “Um, your boss might be slightly mad at me.”

“I feel really drunk.. Ugh. I think I’m going to throw up.” I got up from our bed and ran to the restroom to vomit. I quickly brushed my teeth. “I think I need another drink.”

“Scarlet, you’re not drinking anymore. We had to take a cab here since we were both drunk.”

“Oh really?” The alcohol was still running through my veins. “You know what we should do?” My sex-ual side was coming out. “We should have s-ex.”

“No, I don’t know. Scarlet, we should try to get some sleep.” I started to walk over in my most awkward dance ever. “Ha, you look cute.”

“Oh, do I?” I looked over in my seductive eyes. I climbed on top of him, “You’re so sexy.” I didn’t even wait for another response before I was already on top of him, rocking my body.

“Wow. You’re so … good at that.”

S-ex was more intense when I was drunk. I got off of him and started to perform fellatio on him. I opened my throat so I could take more of him in. You could hear the moans escaping from the sides of my mouth.

“Goddamn, Scarlet.” 

I quickly got up and demanded for him to fu-ck me. And he did. Hard. “Oh, yes. This feels so good! Oh Ryan, keep going!”

“Take it all babe, take my di-ck.” The s-ex talk was so cheesy. But I loved it.

I straddled him and started to fu-ck him even harder. “Mmm, yum.”

“Oh my. This headache is killing me.” I looked up and saw that Ryan and I were sleeping on the floor. “What the…hell?”

Ryan woke up finally, “Are we naked?”

“Ryan, you have a cut on your upper eyebrow? Oh, I forgot. You got into a fight last night. What happened anyway?”

“That sleazy boss of yours was trying to slip his fingers under your dress.” What an asshole! Stupid Jacob. I am done with his advances on me. 

I stood up naked, “I should really quit that job. Being so close to Ira isn’t good for the soul anyway.”

RING. RING.

Scarlet, I am so sorry for what happened last night. I hope you forgive me. Ira made sure to, well uh, let me know what I did.

I read the text message out loud to Ryan, “He isn’t lying about Ira. She’s a demon undercover and is the worst when she gets upset.” I believed that.

I started looking to my phone that had sent me a notification from my Pink Pad app,  Your period is 8 days late. My eyes started to water… No. No. No. No. “Ryan.” How could I have forgotten about taking my birth control? Things have been going crazy, but I didn’t need something like this.

His sexy tousled hair and ripped abs were showing through the see-through sheet, “Yes, love?” I didn’t have the heart to break it to him. I couldn’t. If I was, could he even handle this?

“Um… Please don’t be mad. “ I feel like I was always saying sorry, “I think I’m pregnant.”

Chapter Twenty

“What do you mean you’re pregnant? I thought you were taking your birth control?” I put my head down. Man, you really screwed this one up Scarlet.

Ryan could tell that the tears spilling to the ground were beginning to take over me, “I am so sorry, Ryan.”

“Come on.” Ryan had gotten up from the floor where he was naked and stood up to pick me up. He wiped away my tears and slowly embraced me with his arms, “We’re going to be okay. Let’s just double make sure that you are.”

There was still that chance. That I wasn’t. It was just my app either way. It could be wrong. Well, I was hoping.

“With a lot of things going on, I completely forgot to take it. There were just so many things happening. I.. I just.” F-uck, I just couldn’t. There was already too much going on in my life and now this happens?

“Okay, when was the last time you remember taking it?” Fuck, okay. Let me see. Oh Sh-it.

“I think the last time was before you and Lee…” The tears were starting to come down again, “I know how this all looks, Ryan. But I promise you, I never intended for this to happen.”

Ryan had to believe me that I was being serious about this. The first time that I even met him, he had asked me about this. “Maybe we should make you a doctor appointment. Just to confirm if you are, or aren’t.” He sighed, “Then we can worry to see if it’s Lee’s or mine.”

I really did not want something like this to happen. “I’ll call right now.” I dialed the number to the nearest women’s clinic to schedule an appointment. What if it this baby is Lee’s?

This morning had been starting ridiculously bad. I started cooking a big breakfast feast to make up for my mistakes, but this was nothing compared to having a baby. If I was pregnant. “Scarlet, you mustn’t torture yourself.” Ryan had come from behind me after showering and cleaning himself up. He placed his hands right above my waist, “You’re over thinking. For all we know, you’ve been really stressed out.”

“That’s not the point, Ryan. What if I am? And what if it’s Lee’s baby?” I put the pancakes I had just finished making and put them on the side plate, “I am in love with you. I only would want to be pregnant by you.” That sounded funny. Those words coming out of my mouth.

“Well, I would hope so. But we all have our battles. We’ll get through it.” He just didn’t get it. I was such a stupid person for thinking that I was in love with Lee. I wasn’t. I was hypnotized with the lust that I had for him, for two men that wanted me, but I was the same like any other sl-ut out there. “Can we eat now? It seems like you made enough for both of us.”

I chuckled, “Yeah. Sorry.” Sorry. That word got used a lot around here. I hated it. Always being sorry about all the mistakes that I made.

“Scarlet Ames.” I was at the doctor’s office already. They were able to set me up as a walk-in appointment for today at three ’o clock. “I need to confirm a pregnancy.”

Even though eight days late wasn’t that long, just one day felt like an eternity. I just can’t believe it took me eight days after I was supposed to get my monthly gift to finally get a pregnancy test. I had asked for him not to join me to this appointment. I was already nervous as it was.

I had to fill out all these forms. It had questions about how many partners I’ve had in the past year, my height, my last period, and more. These questions made me feel a little uncomfortable, because it was so intrusive about my s-ex life.

Every minute waiting here in the lobby that passed felt like hours had gone by. I just wanted to know already. I know the much easier thing would’ve been to take one of those pregnancy tests over the counter, but Ryan and I had thought that this was the best result to get. After all, they can’t be wrong.

“Ames, Scarlet.” I walked up to the nurse that had gathered my documents and went up to the room where they proceeded to do all of their tests. “We’re going to go ahead and do a complete routine check-up.”

I guess there was no better time to check if I had STDs than now. “Am I pregnant?”

“You’re gonna have to pee in this cup first, sweetie.” I went to the restroom they had and came back with the cup almost filled. “We only needed a sample.” She laughed as she used the urine sample for the tests she needed to complete.

“I just want to make sure…” They took me to the exam room where I now waited for the doctor to show up.

“Why hello there Scarlet. Is this your first time here?” She was a lady around her early forty’s; I actually felt comfortable with her. She gave this presence of a ‘motherly’ vibe.

“Y, Yes.” I cleared my throat to not act so nervous, “I used to go to the women’s clinic back home, but I just recently moved here with my boyfriend.” It felt so weird saying boyfriend. Ryan and I had only been with each other for just a couple of months.

“I see. Well, good news. You are six weeks pregnant.” Just hearing the words made my heart melt. There was no way. No way. “We’ll go ahead and set you up the follow-up appointments just to make sure that the baby is born healthy unless if you would like to go a different route?” 

“No, that’s all. If anything I’ll come back to ask more questions.” This wasn’t a business deal. This was my body we were talking about. Shit. What the fu-ck am I going to tell Ryan? Six weeks. Shit.

“The ladies at the front will be more than glad to help you out.” I stayed there for another hour or so to talk about what I need to eat, prenatal pills, and other baby stuff.

I came back home to Ryan who was watching football, “Hey, babe. How did it go?” He quickly stood up as I quickly sat down.

“Ry…” My face dropped and I looked down so he wouldn’t see my disappointed face, “Ryan, first, I want to say that I am so, so sorry for everything that happened.”

“You’re pregnant.” It wasn’t even a question. Ryan had just said it. “We’re going to have a baby?”

We? Wait… he wants to keep  it ? “What if it’s not yours? It’s six weeks old, Ryan.”

“Six weeks?” Ryan put his hands up in the air out of excitement, “It’s six weeks!”

I stood back, just staring at this praising to the ceiling, “Why are you so happy?”

“Babe, Lee was eight weeks ago, you and I. It was you and me. Remember?” I started to make the calculations and checked my app. Oh yeah. Lee was further. So there was no way. After that, Ryan and I were like jackrabbits. “Oh my God.”

“We’re having a baby. It’s all mine.” Ryan had gotten down to one knee finally getting closer to the couch, “I don’t know what to say.”

“Ryan, how are we going to do this? We haven’t been with each other for too long. And I just moved here. Plus how are we going to make this work?” I could feel the tears falling again.

“Scarlet, I knew from the very first kiss at your store that I was going to marry you. Silly girl, don’t you ever listen? Kitten, you’re the only one for me and always will be.” Was this really happening right now?

“Thank you, Ryan.” Does that mean I get to keep Ryan, forever?

“I know it probably won’t be soon, but I want to marry you. Or should I ask, Will you marry me, Scarlet Ames? Will you please make the happiest man in the world and become Mrs. Ryan Harper and let me love our child to the fullest extent?”

Ryan was at his knees, kneeling in front of me as I was siting down on the couch, “Yes. Of course. I love you, Ryan. I love you so much.”

Is this where we’re heading now? Marriage? Wherever we were going, I didn’t care. I just knew that I wanted him in my life. And now, this being inside my tummy. Yeah, things were going too fast. And yes, mistakes are mistakes. But make no mistake, I will always love my baby and Ryan. Forever.“

Chapter Twenty-One

“Are you sure about this, Scarlet?” Lee had come inside the dressing room where all the other bridesmaids were getting ready to step outside.

I took a deep breath, “Yes, of course. Why wouldn’t I?” I could feel my heart racing from the excitement and nervousness that was running through my body.

“You can still run away with me.” Six months down the road and things were actually a little better than where I first started. Lee and I had become friends and had just viewed it as a distant, yet fun memory. “I’ll take care of you. I can raise your son.”

He set his hands on my pregnant belly, “I’m sure Ryan would find a way to kick your ass and it won’t be pretty.” Ryan ended up becoming a jealous fiancé, soon-to-be husband that I definitely do not mind.

“Yeah, you’re probably right. I think I’ll just go outside and stand up next to him. Break a leg.”

The music had started to play and I could really feel the anxiety setting in. Ryan had laughed at me the entire time when I was explaining how I was going to look fat. I could hear his ‘you’re pregnant, babe’ statement so many times. I nervously started walking down the aisle after the bridesmaids (which ended up being girls that I worked with and people from back home.)

The priest ended up giving us time to take our vows.

“Scarlet, when I first met you, I knew that I just had to have you. There was no other way that I was going to leave that small town without having you by my side. Even though we haven’t known each other for too long, I feel like I have known you my entire life. Scarlet, with this ring, I hope you can love me for the way I am, with the flaws I have, as I will love you exactly the way you are. I will take care of you when you are sick, love you even when you hate me, and make you smile when you are feeling down. I will be the best father to our son and that little boy is going to be so lucky to have you as his mother. I love you, Scarlet.”

I hadn’t even noticed that I was crying like the emotional person I was, it could’ve been the hormones from pregnancy. “Scarlet, you may saw your vows now.” The priest had given me a kleenex to wipe away my tears.

“Ryan, I had this whole speech thing planned, but now I can’t remember it.” Yay, Scarlet. You would forget your vow speech. “What I’m trying to say is that I can’t wait to be your wife, mother to our son, and be the person beside you until the day we die. I love you, I love you so, so much, Ryan. I can’t imagine my life without you and I promise that I will love you forever, nothing can ever change that.” Ryan had been holding my hand the entire time, never taking his eyes off of me.

“Do you, Ryan Harper, take Scarlet Ames to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and to cherish her? In sickness and in health? For better or for worse? Until death do you part?”

“I do.” I took the ring and placed it on his left hand, “I really do. Can I kiss her now?”

Everyone in the audience started laughing, “Not yet Mr. Harper. And now. Do you, Scarlet Ames, take Ryan Harper to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to cherish him? In sickness and in health? For better or for worse? Until death do you part?”

“I do!” Ryan took his ring and placed it on my left hand now. I didn’t even wait the priest to marry us with his final words.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife,” I kissed Ryan with everything that I could, almost making us both trip, but thankfully he caught my balance, “You may now kiss the bride.” Everyone kept on laughing. “Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Harper.”

We faced the audience, our family and friends, I held onto my pregnant belly as I was cherishing this moment. Mrs. Ryan Harper. I looked over at my ring for an instant, “You’re mine now, Scarlet. And I’m never going to let you leave my side.” He placed a soft kiss on my cheek and we started walking down the aisle with our family and friends watching us from behind now.

“We did it.” I tried jumping to him, but being pregnant was no joke. I weighed a lot more than my usual self. “Party?”

“Yes, but no alcohol for you Mrs. Harper.” I smiled and enjoyed the moment.

Three months later.

“I don’t want to!” I finally got the courage to get off the bed with my belly as huge as another me. Having a Harper son was definitely taking it’s toll on me. I stepped into the bath that Ryan had already gotten ready for me with bubbles. He knew I loved that.

“Scarlet, I’m fixing you something to eat, don’t slip in there. Grab onto the handles and I’ll help you get out once you’re done.” He had surprisingly gotten extremely careful with me. Tucking me in every night. Making sure I ate three meals a day.

I started scrubbing my back, “Ry…” Something didn’t feel right. Ryan came in with the spatula and a can of tomato sauce. “Um.”

“What’s wrong, tell me what’s wrong. Are you okay? What are you feeling?”

I stood up and held onto the handles, Ryan was trying to figure out a place to set the tomato sauce and spatula, but was fighting through leaving back to the kitchen and staying with me.

All of a sudden, a lot of juices fell out of me, Ryan gave me a surprised look, “Did you pee?”

“Oh my gosh, Ryan! It’s time. The baby is coming.” Ryan immediately threw what he was holding onto the sink and went to grab me out of the water. He started gathering clothes I could wear to the hospital and the baby bag that had all the essentials. I calmly sat on the bed and put on everything that Ryan was giving me, “Ryan, I’m okay. Calm down.”

“We need to hurry.”

At the hospital, everything had gone well. “Here is your baby boy, isn’t he precious?” The nurse had brought over our son.

We were both exhausted, excited, and eager to see our son, “We haven’t even picked a name.”

“I like Ryan.”

“Two Ryan’s in the household. I don’t know about that, Scar.” Come to think of it. We didn’t have enough time to pick out a name. We were both working crazy hours, barely getting enough time to see each other, and then we had enjoyed our Honeymoon in Hawaii.

“Marc.” We both looked at each other and then back at our baby, “Yes. You’re a Marc Harper, my sweetheart.”

“Definitely a Marc.” Ryan gave me a kiss on the forehead and then started holding our baby. “Our little family is complete now.”

“Yes it is. Are you ready for the sleepless nights that are in our near future?”

“As long as those sleepless nights include you in it. Late night movies, Chocolate milk, and coffee in the morning. Doesn’t sound too bad.”

I smiled, “It doesn’t. I love you, Ryan.”

“And I love you, Scarlet.”

Fin.
