Aria
I could feel his gaze on me, burning up my backside as we hiked. I was in third position and David was trailing behind, staring at my ass. I didn’t have to look back to know what was going on. He was very predictable, and this was one of those times. I should have known that this was going to be hell. As soon as I heard that he was coming along, I knew that he was going to push limits.
We got to the summit where we started to set up camp. The men left out to get something for dinner and I was at camp to make the fire and get the tents set up. There was one for everyone and I made sure that mine and David’s tents were away from my dad’s and brother’s. I didn’t want to make it too obvious, but it was going to be clear to David I hoped. I wanted to do something tonight, but I wasn’t sure if we were going to be able to. I figured if our tents were close together, then maybe I would be able to sneak into his before the night was out. I was still turned on from the short burst in the back of dad’s SUV and I wanted him back inside of me like before.
I got everything ready and was done long before they were back. My mind was going a mile a minute and for some reason, I was nervous. I was starting to worry about them when I heard rustling in the woods around me. I was starting to freak myself out and my body was tensing up like I was about to get into a physical altercation with someone.
It wasn’t anyone but the men back. They had a couple of rabbits and I had been hoping for a deer. The venison was always best when it was fresh, and it was one of the reasons we were out here. Dad wanted some deer for the freezer and he thought it was a great bonding experience. It made sense to me. My dad was never very conventional.
Dad was the one that was cooking the rabbit. They were already dressed, so it wasn’t long before he had them spitting over the fire. I was watching David and my brother and then they decided to go down to the creek that wasn’t too far away from there. Marshall had blood all over him and it was easy to see who had done the work. David had a little bit on him, but it wasn’t much at all. He had taken a back seat to it.
I wanted to go with, but I didn’t want something to be said. So when Marshall invited me, I could have kissed him, I was just that happy. I wouldn’t mind a quick dip to cool off and I especially liked the idea of some free moments in the dark with David. I was getting in the mood and I was ready to mess with him.
Not having any actually bathing suits, when we got down to the flowing creek, I took off my pants and left the white shirt on. I knew that it would quickly be see through and that I would be in full view. I just had to keep that fact from Marshall because he would most likely tell me to cover up. It would be embarrassing and there was nothing less that I wanted than that.
My attention was on Marshall. He was never one to dilly-dally around and he did a few laps before pulling himself out and saying something about helping dad with dinner.
“I’ll be back in a few minutes. I need to rinse my hair out.”
Marshall agreed and asked David if he was coming.
“In a few minutes. This water feels really damn good at the moment.”
“Alright. See you guys up there. Dinner doesn’t wait for anyone out here.”
I knew the truth of that statement, even if David did not. He hadn’t looked my way the whole time we’d been out here, but now he was paying me some attention. I went to my feet and half of my body came out of the water. I had on panties and no bra. He could see everything, and I heard him suck air into his lungs at a clipped pace and I knew that it meant he liked what he saw. I liked the sound of his reaction so it was a win-win.
“I can’t believe you are wearing that.”
“You don’t like it?”
“You know I do.”
“Well then come here and give me what I want before we have to go back. We don’t have much time.”
“I need time with you Aria. I hate rushing. I want to take it slow and have you all night again.”
His words made me shiver a little, remembering our time together. I didn’t like to rush either, but it was this or nothing. We didn’t have a whole lot of choices.
“It’s now or never David. You have like five minutes.”
David’s face changed, and he moved towards me, pulling me into deeper water as his hands moved under the T shirt. “You’re going to drive me mad, you know, that right?”
He agreed, but that didn’t stop his advances. His lips were on mine and I wanted more. My legs went around his waist as we got up to our necks. My tits floated to the surface like they were begging for attention. Every part of me was ready for him.
I felt his searing hot rod a second before it penetrated me, and I groaned loudly. It just felt too good to stay silent, even though he was warning me that sound traveled on the water.
I giggled and told him that it was going to be fine.
“Not if we are caught.”
He kissed me and started to pump in quickly. This was the way that was going to bring us closer to the edge faster than ever before. I knew that, and I knew we were going to have to make it quick. I wanted him to be inside of me forever, but that wasn’t the time or the place for it. I understood that, but it didn’t stop me from egging him on. I had to have more. My orgasm was coming and his was going to have to happen soon or he would be left neglected as he was before.
I don’t know if David was thinking about that as well, but he was relentless when it came to pushing deep inside of me repeatedly. It was almost too much to handle. I was clinging to him for dear life, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to be kept afloat on my own. He just felt too good and there was a big part of me that wanted to feel his spunk inside of me again. It was hot and sticky and something deep in me told me that I needed it. I don’t know what it was, but it was there and the voice was ever increasingly getting louder.
“David, please!”
He pushed down on my shoulders and held me in place. I could feel his hard length throbbing and spurting inside of me. It was one of the strangest feelings, but one that I enjoyed. I was wrapped around him and I didn’t want to let go. Then he would leave me with a gaping hole that had once been filled with his scorching fluid. I wanted that feeling again, even now as we disengaged from each other.
I could hear voices once my heart rate started to go back down. I realized that I was listening to my dad and brother talk at the camp site. Noise really did carry over water and I was afraid that maybe they had heard us. It wasn’t a good feeling and I really hoped that I was wrong. I wanted to be wrong because I didn’t want this to end. I was having too much fun. I had to go back soon, but these moments I would remember.
Getting dressed, I was glad when David covered me up with his shirt. Less would be said about that then if I had gone as I was. I hadn’t brought anything to cover up. I was thinking about the after. I was thinking about the right now. I’d wanted him to badly to think ahead to the future at all. Getting into his arms was all that I had been able to think about.
Now as I walked back to the campsite, I held the shirt against me and tried to ignore his bare chest that was still covered in droplets of water that I wanted to chase with my tongue. I had to get that out of my mind before I went to go face the males in the family.
When we got back to the tents, I didn’t meet anyone’s gaze for a while. I was too afraid that they would see what we were doing somehow in my eyes. I’d never had much of a poker face and it was guilt that kept me looking down.
“You got back just in time.”
“Yeah?”
Dad was taking the rabbits off of the fire and I was glad that we’d made it back in time. It was going to be good just because I was so damn hungry. I wanted to eat right now. David had really worked up my appetite, as well as wore me out. With him around, I felt so much more primal. The man made me feel untouchable and all of the things that I’d worried about seemed so small now. What sort of magic did David have over me? How was he able to clear everything else off my mind? It just didn’t make any sense.
Chapter 15
David
I could now say that I’d ate rabbit. Something that was not a boast that I could have claimed before. It was better than I thought it was going to be, but it could have easily been the nerves that I was wracked with that made it taste that way. Truthfully, I didn’t have much taste at all. Aria kept messing with me and I had a one-track mind. I was already waiting for the rest of the camp to fall asleep so that I could sneak into her tent and take her again. This time there would be no rush. She would have to work on being quiet, but I knew that a hand across her mouth would silence her as much as I needed.
“Well kids, I wish I could stay up with you, but I think I’m going to head to bed. Got a big day ahead of us, so try and get some sleep.”
All of us told the old man good night and then I started to yawn and pretend like I was going to go lay down too. I was hoping that Marshall would do the same, but he was still staring at the firelight when I closed the tent. I could hear him and his sister talking.
“Have you made up your mind Aria, about what you’re going to do?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t thought about it all that much the last couple of days. I just want to relax.”
“Well it’s a big decision. It isn’t something to go into lightly, either way.”
“Do you regret it?”
Marshall made a sound and I wasn’t sure what that meant. It almost sounded like regret if I knew any better. What did he regret?
“I do sometimes. I don’t regret the stability and the retirement that is coming up in a few years. That I don’t regret at all, but I don’t know, maybe things would have been different if I hadn’t reenlisted. I could have just done my four years and got out. There are still benefits for that short of a time.”
“I know. I just think that I want to do more, and I don’t know how it will happen with me in the military. My boyfriend is pushing for us to start a family, like you did, but I don’t know if that’s possible for me. One of us would have to quit and I already know that it will have to be me. And then, I don’t even know if I’m made for that. I can’t see myself being the wife that stays at home, waiting for her husband to come home from work every day.”
“I didn’t know that you were that serious with that guy. Are you thinking of getting married to Nick?”
“He wants to.”
I didn’t hear her say one way or another if she wanted to.
“What do you want?”
“I don’t know. I don’t think it’s right for us. I used to think it was, but now I’m not sure.”
I got up out of the sleeping bag. I couldn’t sleep or even stay still, not listening to this and I didn’t want to hear the conversation, not when it had to do with Aria and another man. I wasn’t supposed to care. I never did before, but the hell if I was going to lay here and listen to it. I just couldn’t and I was filled with a huge amount of nervous energy all of a sudden.
Opening up the tent, I was making a lot of noise, just so that they thought I’d just gotten up. Aria seemed surprised that I was still awake, and her face said it all. She knew that I’d heard her and her brother talking. I didn’t want to hear about her boyfriend and she had little guilt on her face because I’d heard it.
“I thought you were sleeping bud?”
“No, I think I’m going to go for a swim. It’s stifling in there.”
“Yeah? It’s nice out here. Grab a beer in the cooler.”
I told him that I was good. I didn’t want to say that I didn’t want to be around his sister. That would have given him a clue as to why and I just didn’t want that. I shouldn’t care about her boyfriend. This was just a tryst that had elongated because of the camping trip. I didn’t have to stay and when I left tomorrow or the next day, I most likely wouldn’t see Aria again for a long time. So why did I care so damn much?
“Okay, well I’ll be here when you get back. I’m getting sleepy, but I should be up for a while.”
I told Marshall that I would be back soon, and I set off on the trail that I’d taken earlier when it was light out. Undoubtedly, the path was easier when I could actually see it, but now I was starting to see it as my eyes adjusted to the moonlight. It was glowing above me and it wasn’t long before I was in the crystal-clear water. It was just as crisp and cool as before and it started to make me feel a little better. I was in a spot I’d never been in before. I’d never felt this way and I didn’t like it all that much. It was supposed to feel good, but it didn’t. Needing Aria in such a way just filled me with doubt.
Aria was Marshall’s sister. I knew that I wasn’t supposed to want her, and I certainly wasn’t supposed to be fucking her behind his back. I had, literally and figuratively and I should be thankful that I had a reason to stop. I had a reason to forget about her. She had a boyfriend and I wasn’t looking for a girlfriend that she couldn’t be anyways. She was going back to enlist, and it would be years, if ever, that I would run into her again.
Why was I so damn worried about it then?
“David?”
I heard her voice and for the first time since meeting her, I didn’t want to see her. I don’t know what was going on in my mind, but I hated the idea of her going back into her boyfriend’s arms. Having a baby with him. Starting a family. Notably nothing that I wanted for myself, but why did she have to have them without me? I was too far into my feelings and I didn’t want to face her when I was feeling like this.
“What’s up?”
I swam further away, and she asked me what I was doing.
“Just swimming. What’s up?”
“I just wanted to make sure that you are okay. I didn’t know that you were up, or I wouldn’t have been talking about my boyfriend.”
“I didn’t know you had one and it doesn’t matter if you do. We’re just having fun. That’s all. It’s no big deal. You know how I am.”
She tilted her head to the side and asked me if I was sure I was okay. I started to get angry because that was a better emotion than the sadness that I was feeling. I don’t know why, but I would have rather she think I didn’t care, then care too much. I didn’t want to be that guy.
“It’s no big deal. Really. I was just hot, and I wanted to come down here for a swim, that’s it.”
She looked at me like she didn’t believe me, and I wanted to tell her that I was fine. I knew that there was going to be some awkwardness, but not like this. This was torture and I wanted it over.
“I’m sorry. I just…”
“It’s fine, really Aria. You’re hot and all, but I am not looking for anything more than a few nuts.”
“Oh, well okay then. Good to know.”
Now she was the one that was mad and instead of coming into the water, she turned around and left back down the path. I wanted to smack myself for being so stupid. I didn’t want her mad at me. I was still hoping that she would come to me in the night because now I wasn’t sure if I should go to her.
I swam around for a little while longer before I got out and dried off with my shirt. I walked back to the campfire out and there wasn’t a soul around. I’d missed my chance to be with Aria. My mouth had overrun my ass because I was thinking about her with another man. I shouldn’t have let my temper get the best of me, but I had. Now I had messed up a good thing.
Going into the tent, I zipped it up and lay in the darkness. I wasn’t hot now. Now I had a coolness inside of me that I couldn’t ignore anymore. I wanted to go to her, needed to almost, but my pride held me back.
It was for the best. That’s what I told myself anyways. Even as I repeated it in my head again, I didn’t believe it. Not one little bit.
Chapter 16
Aria
David was making things complicated and I don’t know why he was acting the way he was. I wanted to go to him and make it all better. I wanted him inside of me again, more than about anything else that I could think about. There was something about him that made me wish I didn’t have a boyfriend. It wasn’t like
he meant that much to me. Nick was fun, but he’d never been ‘the one’ in my eyes. I always knew that it was going to be temporary. I never would have dreamed that we’d been together almost a year. The time had really flown by, but the relationship hadn’t gotten deeper.
Now I was getting talked into making it more than that and all I could think about was David. That had to mean something. It meant that it was over with me and Nick. I had to tell him somehow when I went back home to the base. I was still trying to figure out how I was going to tell him.
In my mind, we were already over and I wanted to pursue what was happening with David. I wanted to assure him that Nick was no more. I wanted to assure him that it was more than just fun for me. I wanted to think that he was lashing out because he was upset to hear about Nick in that way. I wouldn’t have wanted to hear that about him with another woman. But then again. He did have a reputation and maybe he wasn’t just saying that to say it, maybe that’s how he really felt. What if I was reading it all wrong?
I stayed like that for quite some time, worried about one thing after another. I knew that there was going to be something that happened if I didn’t go to him and something else would if I did. After an agonizing long time thinking about it, I got out of my tent and went towards his.
He was sleeping, and I could hear the even breath coming out of him. He was mad at me before, but I liked to think that David couldn’t be mad at me forever, not if I was touching his cock anyways. The anger would dissipate, I was sure of it.
I slid into the covers next to him and his body shifted towards mine. David pulled me up against his hard chest and his half-hard chub pressed into my ass. I moaned softly from the feel of him so close to being ready and the way that one of his hands had snaked around me and I was able to wiggle my nipple into his palm.
He was still sleeping, but that didn’t matter to me. David wasn’t going to be asleep long. I pulled my shorts down to my knees and moved to feel around for a way to free him as well. I wanted him deep inside of me, slowly. I wanted to take our time because though the time at the creek and car were intense and hot as hell, I liked when we were able to take it slow and enjoy each other in a whole other way.
