Chapter Five
It was as if time was frozen and I was this close to sucking him deep. I stuck out my tongue and found the little bit on the end of his cock to savor. There was more where that came from and I was going to coax it into my mouth one drop at a time. He wasn’t going to be able to hold himself back and I was going to play every trick up my sleeve to get him to succumb to my wishes.
We were in a typical neighborhood, but this house was situated to give the illusion of privacy. The fence surrounded us and the added bonus of the large trees helped to keep what we were doing from being discovered by nosy neighbors.
The sun was setting and the feel of his skin on my fingertips was making me realize how much time we wasted. It was time to make up for that lost time.
“I’m trying, but if you don’t do something quickly then I’m going to have to take it by any means necessary. It’s not a warning and you can take it as a promise.” I didn’t know the way to his heart, but I had a feeling food was a pale substitute. I was going to give him my body freely and without hesitation.
“You need to learn patience, Bailey. The time you have spent in the Marines did you a world of good. I can’t even imagine what hardships you had to endure. Be in the moment with me.”
I didn’t know the road that I was walking on was shaky at best. The liquor could wear off and his sense of right and wrong could have come back even stronger than ever.
I opened my mouth and drew him into the hot recesses awaiting him. I wrapped my tongue around his love muscle, feeling it begin to pump with a life of its own and knowing I was responsible for his reaction.
“I’ve had women give me blowjobs, but there has been nobody quite like you. No word of a lie, those girls could learn a thing or two from you.”
He was standing in profile and behind him was the orange glow of the sun over the trees. The solar lights around the perimeter of the deck suddenly lit up like the 4th of July.
The fireworks I was feeling deep down inside from sucking him was better than any drug I had taken. This was my addiction and he would be lucky to get a reprieve in the morning without me sliding underneath the sheets.
This was a massive undertaking and those guys who had come before him were nothing more than pretenders. He was the king of the jungle and the way that he was fucking my mouth with abandon was something hard to digest. Those guys fortune enough to be with me had found out I could be quite vocal in my response. I had my finger playing with my clit while at the same time devouring the product of his arousal.
“I… I don’t know where you learned how to do this…” His statement was cut off by him throwing his head back and letting out an ungodly howl at the Moon. The sun had extinguished and the darkness was someplace I was acquainted with.
Being alone in the house gave us a license to make the most out of the solitude. I was having the time of my life feeling like I was flying on an emotional roller coaster.
I saw the writing on the wall and there was no way for me to disguise the insatiable appetite I had for him. He was the one thing I couldn’t be without and I had no idea what I was going to do when he disappeared from my life. This was a tango meant for two and without a partner; I was going to be left with nothing. I was afraid of letting him go, but I was equally afraid of being clingy and making him run for the exit.
“I’m giving you fair warning.” His warning fell on deaf ears as I became unhinged until I felt the moment of truth was upon me. The heat blasted from his fire hose, streaming several times across the surface of my tongue and leaving me no choice but to swallow repeatedly. He was an artist using my tongue as his canvas and his spurting member was his paint and brush combined.
I didn’t let him go until I had drained him of every drop. The elixir was the fountain of youth and we were only two years apart in age. He was always a bit naïve, but his time with the Marines had awakened something primal within him. It was hard to explain, but I was overwhelmed like I was drowning in the sea of his desire.
I popped his knob out of my mouth, wiping it with the back of my hand and smacking my lips with satisfaction. I had climbed to the top of the mountain and I had staked my claim with my white flag flying in surrender.
“I didn’t expect this was going to happen when I came home, but I’m glad it did. Now that I’m seeing things clearly, I think it might be a little crazy for us to continue out here where somebody could catch us in the act. Don’t get me wrong, I want us to continue, but not until you sober up a little. I want there to be no doubts and nothing to make you feel like you need to gnaw off your arm after we’re done.” I went over to the barbecue naked from the waist down.
My shirt was still intact and I unbuttoned the first couple of buttons to find some relief from the stifling heat between my legs.
“Nothing is going to change, but if it makes you feel better, I will go and make some coffee.”
I was barely able to get my breath, but I turned my passion into a love of cooking. I enjoyed putting flavors together which seemed unusual but had the added bonus of bringing joy to others. I learned everything about cooking from both my stepbrother and my stepfather.
I found it curious that not a lot of women took an interest in cooking by an open fire. It was like I was getting back to my roots and the cave woman inside was begging to give this meat a Cajun feel.
Bailey came back and he was wearing the apron and nothing else. Kissing the cook took on a whole different meaning. He wrapped his arms around me, but he did not try to takeover like some guys would feel it was necessary to do. There was no ego to get in the way and I think that he was enjoying the reversal of fortune.
“The cat is out of the bag and you have no idea how good it feels to finally scream your name. I admit to taking the coward’s way out and leaving wasn’t necessarily because I wanted to serve my country with distinction. It was a big part, but it was also to get away from you. I couldn’t stand to be around you and let my jealous streak run down my back whenever you were talking to another guy.”
I never knew and I suppose I never really gave it much thought. I felt bad for making him run away from the only family he knew.
“There was nothing for you here and we needed this time apart to grow. We both had experiences and still we find ourselves pulled together like magnets.”
“Chelsea, I knew you would never take me seriously and I wasn’t exactly what you would call a chick magnet. I was wallpaper and I had no confidence in myself. Today I command the room when I enter and that took a lot of time in the gym and on the obstacle course. I only had to look in the mirror to see the results, but I was never vain about my appearance.”
He was nuzzling my neck and I knew love was out to get me. Cupid’s arrow had been strung in the bow and fired indiscriminately towards two unsuspecting targets.
“I wish this could’ve happened long before now, but it’s better late than never. I’m used to playing games and telling guys what they want to hear, but I don’t have to do that with you. I can be completely open and show you my flaws without feeling like you are judging me.” The sizzle of the barbecue made me hungry, but not necessarily for the T-bone steaks with those grill marks on the back and the front.
“You’re a woman who deserves more than I can give you and this might have been a mistake. I do feel deeply for you, but I have psychological issues. There is blood on my hands and the guilt is hard to shake. There will always be collateral damage in any war and some innocence lost because there is no other way.”
I felt for him and his pain was evident by the crease over his brow.
“It might make you feel better to get it off your chest. There is no pressure and I would never try to force you to say something that you’re not ready for.”
I’d taken some classes in psychology and if I wasn’t going to be a teacher then I would’ve put up my shingle as a psychologist.
I was very good at reading people and he was harder than most. Getting those pages to open up was going to take more than flipping them to the desired chapter. I was going to have to find the key to unlock those dark corners of his mind. I just wasn’t sure I wanted to find what was there.
“I have been thinking about getting some professional help. It’s not an easy transition from military life to a civilian one. It’s harder than you imagine. I feel like a fish out of water. I don’t feel like I belong and the only thing that makes any sense is you.” I listened and I didn’t bother to interrupt because I felt like it was more important to hear what he was saying to me.
He suddenly went quiet and there was the sound of the crack of thunder even though there were no clouds in the night sky.
