Chapter 8
“I need to tell you, Kelly… I mean, Cali. It’s going to take me a bit of time to get used to that. I don’t really believe in therapy, but I’ve known guys that have come back different that needed somebody to talk to. I can’t deny that some get something from it and I commend them for being able to open up and say what’s on their mind. Maybe one day I will be willing to open up and I do hope that it’s with you. I’ve had too much loss in my life and I carry that burden with me.”
“I have to show him that I’m not just a pretty face and body to lay down next you at the end of the day.” “I know that some have fought me in the past, but in the end it was the best thing for them to get it off their chest. You most likely suffer from sleep deprivation. Perhaps you need to have a bottle of something stronger by your bed. I can see you being the type to hold onto some kinda memento that carries a deep significance.” “I’ve seen this before, but what makes him different than all the others is his ability to know that something is good or evil… right or wrong and that puts him in a league of his own.”
“You’re good and I do all of those things including having that memento from my time fighting the good fight.” Sebastian took out the dog tags from his pocket and they were a string of names etched into pieces of metal. He would never forget those that he had lost. All he had to do was lift them into the air to see those names and recall each and every one of them. “I think that you might know me better than I know myself. I don’t know if I like that. I’ve never been the kind of guy that you would want to take home to mother.”
They had found a room unoccupied and they were now staring at each other. Abruptly and without any warning whatsoever, he pulled her shirt down, until it was around her wrists. He pulled a knife and saw the look of terror on her face, but there was also something of a raw sexuality coming to the surface. He sliced the sports bra and didn’t even nick her skin. He ran the cold blade down between her breasts making her shiver with excitement and fear mixed into one.
“I never know what you are going to do next, Sebastian. I think that for the first time in my life that a man has been unpredictable. I’m usually able to know what’s going to happen like a sequence of events playing like a movie in my head.” She moaned, as his teeth nipped at her nipple. His right hand grabbed for her thigh and wrapped it around his waist. “I can feel his arousal and he has his weapon cocked, loaded and ready to bring into the battle between the sexes.
“I’m glad that I keep you guessing and believe me you do the same thing for me. I feel sometimes that we are on the same page and there are times that we are talking in different languages. The only language that really makes any difference is the language of love.” Sebastian was grinding up against her and before long was reaching for the button on her pants. He fell to his knees and was pulling her pants and underwear down in one fluid motion. They were around her ankles and she was still struggling to get out of the garment that was wrapped around her wrist. He turned her away from him and pushed her down, until her head was lying on the mattress. He snuck his hands around her and hovered over top with his fingers strumming a chord of relief on her clit.
“No… I don’t want to cum like this… Oh fuck…don’t stop… I need this to remind me that you still care… YESSSSS.” His finger was a blur of motion and her eyes were closed to the pleasure that was radiating down all of her limbs at once. Her muffled cry and deep and resounding moans echoed into the mattress. She felt him behind her and then heard the motion of his zipper moving down slowly to reveal his engorged manhood.
Cali thought that he was going to fuck her senseless and was in no shape to fight back, even if she wanted to. She pressed a little bit tighter against his rampant condition. The hot surface of the shaft against her bare ass was making her yearn for something more than just the feel of his fingers.
“You’re not going to get away that easily, Cali. I think it’s time that somebody surprises you.” Sebastian got on his knees and wedged his head into her big ass. He was never one for girls that offered the little bit extra, but Cali wore it with a sexual confidence. It was as if he was dealing with a woman with no self conscience about the way people perceived her. He saw the freedom in letting her freak fly and was going to help her to find that necessary release. The first climax was only a bit of fun at her expense, but the next one was going to be more profound and intense like that of an explosion of an IAD going off in the middle of the road in Afghanistan.
“I don’t know why I let you do these things, SEBASTIAN.” Her squeal with his name etched on her lips was brought about by his tongue sipping from her elixir of life. There was no resistance and her body willingly accepted the oral invasion. “Damn… I don’t know how any woman has been able to deny you anything. You have an amazing gift and one that you take for granted. You can have any woman and I feel fortunate enough that you took the time to get to know me.” She was pounding her hands down onto the mattress and soon scratching through the sheets like some wild beast in the forest. “He’s a man that doesn’t exactly shy away from doing the woman the honor of letting her find hers first. Someone has taught him well and maybe I should show him that his efforts are not in vain.”
Sebastian could see her ass quivering and her legs shaking. There was a powerful storm brewing. He was never one to walk away from a good thing and Cali had turned out to be the best thing in his life by far. Her love wasn’t free and it had to be earned. He felt like he was worthless, but she was the one that collected the pieces of his broken heart and put him back together again.
After his face was a sheen of wetness from her body now giving up his just deserts she turned very quickly and made him stand there, while she kissed his neck by getting on her toes. “You are a man amongst men and you don’t even know how lucky I feel to have you in my life. You have always put me first and I know that you will never break my heart. I don’t know how I know that, but there’s just something in your eyes.” She followed the trail of the tip of her tongue down between his well defined pectorals and came to rest at his belly button. She dipped in for a moment to feel him shudder and she gripped him with her glove like hand.
“This is the kind of moment that I need to test his limits and see what kind of man I’m dealing with. He has already shown me a part of him that makes me feel like he’s a dangerous man.” Cali knew that this was the kind of man that could make her do things that she wouldn’t normally do with any other man. The way that she moved with her tongue trailing a line of wetness along his shaft was enough to get his attention in a hurry.
He could see that this woman was not about taking prisoners and that he was at the mercy of her sexual whims. She may have been lying about who she was, but he was unprepared to see that her desire for him had never waned even for a second. “I don’t think that I will ever find you boring, Cali. Your lips are like hot coals and your tongue seems to have the sense of a snake going after its prey.” He sat down heavily seeing that she was following and not relinquishing her hold. He watched with avid attention to see her technique of taking him all the way in and then back out in one long and lazy stroke.
Her head bobbed forward surrounding his package with her long hair and obscuring his vision from what she was doing. Her tongue outstretched and licked the underside of his balls, which of course made his member jerk with the sudden and abrupt action. “There are no conditions when I’m with him and I will always remember him until the day that I die. I hope that he sees me in his wildest dreams and that I always exceed his expectations. Nobody had to know what we did to one another, but I think it was damn obvious from the way that we look at each other.” Cali knew that he was bad, but he did it so well and made her think that there was no reason to change him.
He felt like his gun was going to go off and he immediately extricated himself from a dangerous premature moment. The memory of her of being tangled up with her on that beach fueled him and made him ache. He lifted her from the floor and pushed her back, until she was widespread on the bed.
“I’ve never needed anybody like you, Cali. You take my breath away and maybe you did deceive me, but you did it for good reasons. I will say that being with you is better than being without you.” He turned her slightly and got into the spoon position. Lifting her leg, he nibbled on her neck and pulled at her earlobe. He was soon sliding within the silky confines of her sexual desire.
The bed was rocking and the mattress shifted, until they were haphazardly laying half on the bed and half off. His hips were driving into her and she was more than up to the task of meeting him in the middle. It was like they had the blueprints to each other’s bodies. They knew just where to touch and what buttons to push to make the most profound cry of pleasure come from their lips.
Cali was soon flat on her stomach with him using the softness of her nice plump ass, as a means for giving her what she wanted. “I’ve never felt this wanted in my life and this is, so much better than just needing to get one out of the chamber. I’ve had nights clawing at the sheets using a particular toy, but this is so much better. I never want to lose this. That’s the reason why I’m going to go with him to confront Commander Grady. He’s going to be like a caged animal and to catch him in a corner is only going to make him snap out his claws.”
His hands were on her shoulders and he looked down to where her cheeks had separated to give him the perfect view for the type of loving that he was inflicting on her.
“I can feel it… I can fucking feel it… YESSSSSS.” It was a spontaneous and simultaneous moment of both of them screaming at the same time. It was not a question of who had came first, because it was like they were joined as one and there was no way to know where one ended and the other began. His seed burned through him and came out on the other end with spurt after spurt, until he fell exhausted and depleted on top of her.
“I don’t think that this could get any better. I know that you have been dealing with a lot and I hope that you will give me a chance to give you the tools to handle just about anything. You are a stubborn man, but you need to learn to ask for help. It does not show weakness and it shows that you’re willing to entertain the idea of mental health.” “I know the truth and even with my betrayal, he still feels that deeply for me. I think that what I need to do is to always give him a reason to trust me. I know how he feels about therapy, but I truly believe that I can help him.
A few hours later and Sebastian had stepped from the shadows on the dock to stand in front of the man that he used to respect like nobody else. Standing beside him was the woman that had changed everything for him. The one thing that Commander Grady had done that he was grateful for was to bring this woman into his life.
“I figured that I would see you sooner than later, Sebastian. It appears that my plan to keep you occupied was in vain. I seriously thought that when she got a crack at you that you would crumble and become inconsolable. It might’ve been wishful thinking, but I thought I knew you. I will say that I’m happy to see that you were stronger than I thought you were. I am a little disappointed that you’re not rocking back and forth in the fetal position in some padded room somewhere. What exactly do you intend to do?” Grady was completely taken back that Sebastian had shown up, but he wasn’t about to show that kind of weakness.
“What you need to do is to come with me and to throw yourself on the mercy of the court. You shouldn’t have come after me and doing it like this shows just what kind of coward you are. I would have had more respect for you had you come after me yourself with guns blazing. You can either come quietly, or we can do it the hard way. I’m begging you to do it the hard way.” Sebastian was standing in front of Cali to make sure that there was no way that she could get injured.
“I can’t come with you willingly and that is not the kind of man I am. Do what you need to do, but expect one hell of a fight.” Commander Grady got into a stance, but then he was struck with an electrical burst that made him shimmy to his own tune and then fall like a smoking crater at the feet of his true enemy.
Stephen came out wielding the taser and smiling to see the twitching form of Commander Grady looking up in stupefied horror to see that he had been caught by someone that had an axe to grind.
“I knew that his attention would be on me and that he would never even imagine that I would come with reinforcements. You earned the money, Stephen. I do hope that you use it for something more than women and drugs.” Sebastian passed him an envelope full of cash and Stephen didn’t even bother looking at the amount. He knew that Sebastian would never cheat him. That was not something that he could say for himself. He would sell his own mother for the chance to make a buck, but he blamed Commander Grady for leading him down this dark and lonely path.
Cali watched Stephen wave the envelope in the air before tucking it into his green army jacket. He pulled down the black knit cap and disappeared into the mist like that of a ghost.
“What now?” Cali was very thankful that Sebastian had decided to use his god given brains instead of any need for vengeance.
“Now, we can go on with the rest of our lives. I think that I need to find something different and not always think that the answer is at the end of a gun barrel. I want something normal with you and I have a feeling that having you in my life is going to be one interesting adventure.”
They did present Commander Grady to the congressional hearing and it wasn’t long before a guilty verdict was brought back. He screamed that he was going to get even and even behind bars he had long arms.
Cali soon found out that she was with child and they decided to pack it up and go someplace off the grid and away from the prying eyes of the public. They would live modestly, but in the back of their mind they would know that Grady and his need for revenge was still out there.
Cali did help him to rid himself of some of those demons, but he would always carry them with him, as a reminder of his time of the worst hell of his life. He had walked through that hell and found the angel arms of Cali waiting for him on the other side. They would never truly be safe, but in each other’s arms that was exactly how they felt.
THE END
