Chapter Five

"Why so soon?" Skye asked. Her chest felt tight, and her eyes stung with tears. She knew he was going to leave. She just didn't know it would be so soon.

Jared shrugged. "Because I need to get settled before boot camp starts in a few days."

"But you'll be back?" she asked.

He shook his head. "No. Even if I stay alive, I'm almost certain I'll never come back here."

God, she hadn't even considered him dying. The fact that she would never know what happened to him ravaged her.

He gently pushed on the door. "Babe, this is our last chance to be together."

"You'll never come back even if you can?" The thought of never seeing him again made her feel devastated. The strong emotion caught her off guard. She didn't even like the guy most of the time. But she'd always been attracted to him, and that kept her attention when she should have been able to ignore him.

"Ask me in. Come on, Sugar. You know you want to."

She hated when he used that deep smooth voice because it always made her tits harden and her pussy clench with desire.

As stupid as she knew it was, she wasn't going to pass on her one chance at being with him. She opened the door wider and stepped back, giving him room to move in.

She shut and locked the door. She pressed her forehead against the cool wood. Doubts and fears were plaguing her, and she was fighting to overcome them.

The breath caught in her throat when a wall of heat pressed against her back. One of his arms came around her waist, and his other moved the hair off her neck and started licking and nipping her.

She bit down on her lip to keep from moaning, but she couldn't prevent her body's reaction and the way her eyes slid closed, and she relaxed against him.

"I wish I could take you every way I've always dreamed of, but I'll have to be satisfied with the one time."

"God, stop talking." She didn't want to hear any more about his leaving.

He chuckled and turned her around. He tipped her head up and studied her for a long moment.

"You really are so fucking beautiful."

She felt her face heat with a blush and didn't say anything.

He lifted her off her feet because she was so short, cupped her face, and pressed his lips against hers.

The first contact felt like lightning burst within her. Her whole body was affected by the tingle in her toes to her head that immediately turned fuzzy.

Jared tore his mouth away and looked at her with a stunned expression before he looked angry, but she had no clue why.

"Fuck!" he spat out and took her mouth again.

She didn't ask any questions because her brain was muddled again.

"Where the fuck is your bedroom?" he asked.

"Upstairs and to the left."

Without another word, he carried her up the stairs and into her bedroom. He set her on her feet and then locked the door. He took a curious look around before his attention came back to her.

His gaze never left hers as he slowly pulled her t-shirt off and dropped it to the floor. He unsnapped her jeans and slid them down.

"Step out," he said.

He tossed them aside with the socks she had on.

She hated to feel so insecure while he stood back and his eyes ran over her.

"Fucking beautiful." He yanked her back into his arms and ravished her mouth again.

She hadn't realized he'd lifted her until her back hit the mattress. He never took his eyes off her, and she found it disconcerting.

He reached over his shoulder and pulled his t-shirt over his head, dropping it to the floor with her clothing. His jeans and boots came off, but he kept his boxers on. She didn't know if she was happy or disappointed that she couldn't see his cock.

Jared lay on the bed beside her and grabbed a few condoms he'd gotten out of his pocket before dropping his jeans.

He started kissing her again, and all her thoughts fled. She was vaguely aware of her bra and panties being taken off but didn't think to protest.

Her breath snagged in her throat when his hand slid between her thighs, and one of his fingers penetrated her cunt. She felt it tap something and assumed it was her hymen.

"This right here is mine," he said. "And no one will ever take it from me."

Skye didn't know what to say.

He started sucking on her nipples and forcing two fingers into her cunt. He did it so gently that she didn't feel any pain.

"Jared," she begged with the tension inside her becoming too much, and she ached so bad.

Jared quickly ripped off his underwear, rolled on a condom, and moved between her thighs. He watched her expression as he slowly slid inside her. It was so different from what she expected. She felt herself stretching, but there was no pain.

"I'm sorry, Sugar," Jared said before pushing through her virginity, forever tying them together.

She cried out at the unexpected pain, but he took a few minutes to soothe her before he started moving.

"I've never felt anything like this," he murmured against her neck.

She could hear the torment in his tone, but she didn't understand why. Shouldn't this feel good to him, too?

She felt something inside of her grow and tighten her cervix. It became excruciating after a moment.

"Jared…"

"I know. It's all right. I want you to let go and come for me."

"How?" she cried.

"Relax your muscles."

Skye nodded and did what he asked, and immediately a swell of something she'd never felt before or even heard of happened. She screamed as wave after wave of sharp pleasure filled her body.

She vaguely heard him moan, and then he collapsed on top of her. Fortunately, he held most of his weight off her, balancing on his elbows, but he was shaking so much she thought he might collapse on top of her. She knew there would be no way to push him off, and she would probably smother.

He laid still with his face tucked against her neck. She didn't understand if he was tired, sad, or disappointed. He finally raised his head and looked down at her. She would have said he was angry if she had to guess at his expression.

"Are you mad at me?" she asked.

"Maybe."

"What did I do?" She hated the tears that filled her eyes.

"Because it wasn't what I expected," he said.

"What does that mean?"

"It just surprised me, and I don't like surprises."

Her brows pinched together. She didn't understand. "Are you saying you've never…"

"Come?" Jared said sarcastically.

"Yes."

He snorted. "No, I've orgasmed many times. It just felt nothing like this."

She wanted to scream at him. He was making her feel inadequate, but weren't all virgins that way because they had no experience? She didn't know if she was supposed to move a certain way when he was inside of her.

"I'm sorry I disappointed you. Now, get off me." She tried moving him, but they both knew it was impossible. "You're a jerk," she hissed when he didn't budge.

"Settle down. I didn't say I was disappointed."

"Yes, you did."

"Being surprised and disappointed are two different things. I enjoyed fucking you, and it was just … more than any other time."

She stopped struggling. "So … you liked it?"

"Yeah."

Skye relaxed. "Okay." She waited for his next move, but he stayed still with his head bowed. "Aren't we done, or is there more?" She hated sounding ignorant, but she wanted to know what to do without making a mistake.

****

Was she fucking kidding him? He raised his head to look at her. "No, Sugar. We're not done by a long shot."

"What comes next?"

"We rest for a minute, and then we go again." He was as surprised as she looked. It had been years since he'd been able to get another erection after just coming.

He wanted to smile at the confusion on her face.

"I didn't think that could happen," she said.

"I didn't either." He rolled off her. "I'm going to use the bathroom. Where is it?"

"Out the door and to the left, one door down."

"When is your mother getting home?" Jared asked.

"It will be after eleven."

He nodded and walked out of the bedroom. After closing the bathroom door, he turned on the lights. The brightness made it possible for him to see her virgin blood on the condom. He couldn't explain the feeling of rightness he felt at that moment.

Jared removed the condom and wrapped it in a tissue before dumping it into the trash. After taking a piss, he washed his hands and his face.

The fact that he wanted to get right back on her, and his cock was stiffening, made his thoughts scatter. He needed to take a short break before he went at her again. He wanted to give her something she could think of fondly after he left, and he wanted her to remember him as gentle and caring.

Jared's body tightened in a surge of lust when he thought about how good it felt to be inside her. He'd never felt anything like it.

He grinned when he walked back into her bedroom and saw her with the covers up to her chin. Oh, hell no. That wouldn't do at all. He wrestled the blanket from her hands and threw it onto the floor. "You're not hiding from me."

Skye screamed. "Jared. Stop it."

"No. I want to be able to see every inch of this delectable body."

"You already had an o-orgasm," she said. "Isn't that enough?"

"I know, but it's not close to being enough. I want more."

He watched her brow pucker as she thought about his comment, and he didn't want her to balk and try to push him away, so he bent his head forward and kissed her.

This time he fucked her, and it was more leisurely but no less devastating to his system. He was wondering if he'd be able to walk away from her after this. He knew nothing was in town for him, and he didn't want to work at the packing plant, so he had to move on.

He told himself he'd forget her and just give it some time. He was so wrong.
