“David, wake up.”
He made a sound, but it wasn’t like he was getting up any time soon. I tried to take his pants off and I finally managed to get them down enough that I could pull him out. David was hard. Just because his brain wasn’t with it, didn’t mean that his body wasn’t.
Stroking him, I heard sounds of pleasure come from his lips behind me and he was almost being too loud. I wanted to shush him, but I didn’t want to wake him up either. Not yet. I liked when he was all mine and I could do as I pleased. I wanted to turn around and take him in my hands, into my mouth, but instead I started rubbing him against my wetness, making it feel good for both of us.
The sounds coming out of him were getting louder and they were turning me on. I didn’t have to feel or look to know that I was wetter than I’d been in a long time. Nick was a distant memory. All I could think about right now was David and getting his hard meat inside of me. It was really all I wanted, and I was ready to make it happen, with or without his help.
Backing up onto him, I felt his hard head at my center and I rubbed it with a tilt of my hips back and forth on the seeping hole. I didn’t want him inside of me just yet. I wanted to feel it rub on my clit and it was making me jerk it felt so good.
David was coming to life behind me and he grabbed my hips suddenly, surging forward deep inside of me. I let out a holler because I wasn’t expecting it and I immediately bit my tongue to stop it from happening again. David was still half-asleep, but fucking was so ingrained in him, it was like he was moving from second nature, filling me up over and over again until I was full to the brim with him cock. It felt so good and I had to cover my own mouth to hide the pleasure wanting to spill out at every turn. The man just felt too damn good.
I wanted to slow him from his rutting. I tried to put my hand on his chest, his waist, but nothing was stopping him. I came so hard I screamed out in pleasure and he just chuckled in my ear. “You feel so damn good Aria. I want to fuck you forever.”
If he wasn’t doing it so hard, hard enough that I couldn’t speak, I wouldn’t have been so worried. His stamina was rather long, and my insides cramped as another wave of pleasure went through me.
He stopped deep inside of me. “Aria?”
I giggled and told him not to stop.
“What are you doing here?”
“Wanted to make up. You can’t be mad at me when you’re balls deep, can you?”
He growled and pushed deeper, telling me that I was being manipulative. I knew that I was, but it didn’t matter. I’d wanted him inside of me and arguing wasn’t an option. We could speak far more clearly with our bodies in my opinion and I wanted to keep it simple.
“Please don’t stop.”
I was afraid that he was going to change his mind, but his dick was still stuck deep inside of me. It was pulsating, and I wiggled a little to try and coax him on. I wanted this so badly. I wanted more of what he could offer.
“I should, just to teach you a lesson. You have been naughty.”
I whimpered at the idea of it all. I didn’t need a lesson. What I needed was for him to finish me off and tell me that he wasn’t mad at me.
“Please don’t. I need you.”
“What does your boyfriend not fuck you right?”
He jabbed in as he asked the question and I closed my eyes to the depth of desire that it brought out of me. He would never know how good he felt inside of me. It was magical. And I knew that no one else would ever feel this good, certainly not Nick. He had nothing to worry about on that front.
“I’m leaving him David. We were never together like that. It was just…”
I didn’t finish the sentence because David started to push deeper and faster. He was going back up to the pace I was used to and then he pulled out altogether when I was on the cusp of coming. It was hard to maintain thought when he was driving into me like this, but I think that was the point. He wanted me breathless and unable to speak and he was doing a damn good job of getting exactly what it was that he wanted from me.
Flipping me onto my back, our lips met before he dove back into me. I cried out against his lips, his mouth muffling the pleas and moans. He was back in control and the tiny moment I’d had was gone. It felt right with him above me and inside of me, his arms bulging as he held himself inches above my body to not crush me.
“You feel so damn good Aria. I never want to stop.”
The words were said with a sound that was almost like giving up. He didn’t want to ever stop, but he was going to have to, and soon. It was clear to see that David wasn’t going to make it all that much longer. He was turned on and he was ready to come. The stamina was strong, but the will power left something to be desired.
The rutting became slower and then finally he surged deep one more time before he groaned out low and loud. I kissed his lips and then bit his neck as I clenched him inside of me for a little while longer. He felt so good and I was glad that I finally had his seed deep inside of me. My body craved it. It made no sense but didn’t change the fact of how it was. For some reason, something about David, made me feel like I needed him, and I wasn’t complete when he wasn’t inside of me, driving deep. I was drawn to the man, no matter how little of a future we had together.
When he pulled out, all I could feel was a gaping hole that only he could fill. I wanted more than just some fun. I wanted to feel this way forever, but this wasn’t the time or place to say such things. I didn’t even know how he would respond to all of that. There really was no telling with David. I was so confused. Satisfied, but confused.
Chapter 17
David
She went back to her tent almost as soon as I nutted. Much like how she came in, Aria left like a ninja and I was looking after her, willing her to come back. She couldn’t be caught in my tent, obviously, but that didn’t mean that I wanted her to go. It was confusing because I did in one way and then I didn’t in another. I still was sour about her boyfriend, but she was right, it was hard to be mad at her after I just blasted off inside of her. It felt too good to stay mad for long.
I stared into the darkness for a while, listening to the sounds of the woods around me and wondering what was going on in the world I left behind. Up here in the forest, it felt like I was in a completely different realm or dimension. This wasn’t my life, and this was going to end soon. I would be back to the life that I loved so much days before, but now I wasn’t sure if it was worth it all.
I tried my best to make sure that I did what I needed to do, but the fact of the matter was that I’d lost something when I got that money. I’d lost this, moments like this and the excitement of rabbit on a stick. The David that got all of that money wouldn’t worry about any of it, because he had a driver if he needed to get anywhere and a paid chef at home that would make him anything that his heart desired. That sort of choice made everything in the selection a little less desirable.
It left something to be yearned for and I think that I’d found out what it was. It had been a long time, too long since I’d gotten lost in the woods and the more I thought about it, the more I decided that I wasn’t going to let this change me. I wanted to get back to the David that could enjoy life and all the simple pleasures that I’d forgotten about in my quest for all that money could buy. It could buy a lot, but not a moment like this or moments before while I was inside of Aria, losing it one last time.
My thoughts kept me up for a while, but I finally got some sleep when the sun was threatening to come up for the day. This left very little time before the guys were waking me up and telling me that it was time. I was naked under the covers, too tired to get my pants back on after Aria left and Marshall made a comment.
“What did you think was going to come out, woodland nymphs to help you out?”
I covered myself and waved him off. “No, I just hate sleeping in clothes.”
“I hear you. Cover your junk and get dressed. We got a hike ahead of us today. I’ve been hiking it since I was twelve, bu
t for a rich boy like you, you might want to prepare yourself. We’re going where the deer are.”
“Whatever.” That’s literally all I could come up with at the moment.
His barbs were getting to me now that I was thinking about all of the changes I had made. I did as he suggested once he left the tent and I was left alone in it. I hoped that I didn’t have to take it down, but no one said anything, so I wasn’t going to ask.
When I got out of the tent, theirs were still up and I was taking it as a sign that mine wasn’t going to have to go down. I didn’t want them to know that I had no clue how to do it. Not having to helped me relax and the next thing I knew, my eyes were scanning for Aria. I hadn’t heard her up and around. I wanted to see her since I hadn’t since the night before. It had been a blur in the moment as she came to me and I did want that to change.
“Where’s everyone at Sir?”
Marshall’s dad just shrugged. “Maybe to the creek to see if there is any fish for breakfast. If not, there is ration bars in you pack with water. Everyone has one. They aren’t too bad, but fresh fish would be nice.”
I didn’t know if fish was sounding good for breakfast, but I liked the idea that there were bars in my bag. I went through it and picked out the ones that I wanted and tried my best not to think all that much about it. I wanted to go see Aria, but I’d learned my lesson on walking up or overhearing the siblings. I didn’t want to hear their business, especially not if it had to do with Nick. I never wanted to hear that name again and I wanted to believe that she was being truthful when she said that she was going to leave him. I didn’t know what that meant for me and her and where we stood, but I hated to think of another man touching her. It was just that simple.
Helping the older man with his bags, I got the feeling that he had something to say to me, I just didn’t know what it was. I was getting the nerves back like he had saw Aria leave my tent or maybe he heard us. We weren’t as quiet as we could have been.
“You like my daughter?”
It was more of an accusation than a question and I didn’t know what to say.
“She seems nice. I don’t really know her all that well.”
I was lying out my ass and the man looked like he knew it. “Yeah, I reckon you know her well enough. Don’t hurt her or I will come for you David. I’ve known you a long time, but I will if you hurt my little girl.”
I was speechless because I felt like he knew too much. I don’t know how or why he did, but it didn’t matter. I was going to deny it, it was on the tip of my tongue, but then I met his gaze and I knew there was no lying to him. He wasn’t in the mood to hear fairy tales and I wasn’t in the mood to make them up.
“Yes Sir.”
I said it just loud enough for him to hear me. I got what he was saying, and I could respect his view. I was a man that wanted his daughter. I wasn’t going to deny it. It was pointless but rubbing it in the old man’s face didn’t seem wise either. He still had a lot of death and destruction behind him and I knew better. I’d seen him shoot a gun last night.
There was silence in the camp for quite some time. I was thinking about what I was going to do that day. I was going to keep my distance from Aria, I knew that much for sure. It wasn’t going to be good if I was still flirting and acting the same way with Aria. She was not going to take it well, I had a feeling, but it was the way that it had to be.
When the siblings got back, they were both deep in thought like they had been talking about some deep stuff. I wanted to know what, naturally, but there was a part of me that didn’t want to know. What had Marshall told his sister? I liked the idea of her getting out of the military and then being around so that we could see what would happen. I didn’t know. I had no idea, but I did know that I would like to see it through and see what we could make together. She was a beautiful girl and I was falling for her in many ways. That would all be gone if she decided to reenlist and was shipped out to God only knows where for God only knows how long.
Aria didn’t look at me for a time and I tried to follow suit and pretend like nothing was going on. Her father knew that it wasn’t true, but that didn’t mean that I wanted Marshall to find out if he didn’t already know. There was nothing that sounded good about that to me and the more I tried to worry about it less, the worse it got. By the time we were ready to start hiking, I’d had enough self-doubt to last me a lifetime. I just wanted to know where I stood, even though I was never that way. Why with her? I don’t know, but the reason didn’t matter. I had to get close to her and find out what was going on. We needed time to talk that didn’t have her male relatives so close to us. I needed to find an excuse to get her out on her own for a little while.
Chapter 18
Aria
After talking with Marshall and him admitting that he wasn’t sure sometimes that he wanted to still be in the military, it really got me to thinking. I loved it for many reasons, but maybe he was right. Maybe it was time for me to move on and do something else. I would always have my time there, but that didn’t mean that I wouldn’t miss it. I knew I would, but I was going to miss other things more. I wanted my freedom back and I wanted to be able to pursue what I wanted to without worry that I was going to be sent across the world at any given moment. I wanted my life back and the ability to control what I actually do.
The decision came with new events in mind. I wanted to say that it had nothing to do with David, but that would have been a lie. The man had gotten to me and there was no way around it. I knew that I was going to have to figure it out with him, if there was any inclination on his side, but I’d seemed to have forgotten that he was a playboy and it was cliché to think that he was going to change for me.
It put me in a funk, all of these thoughts running through my head and even though I wasn’t too worried about the outcome, I was as well. David was just a guy, but he was one that had made me feel all sorts of things the short time I’d been with him. In a way, he made me feel like there was something more that could be done and something more that we could be. It was a new sensation and I had promised that I would get rick of Nick. That wasn’t going to be too bad, but it wasn’t something I was looking forward to either.
I was thankful for the silence and the sounds of the woods my only companion. I let myself get behind a little bit, but that was just because I was thinking about all that had to be done. I knew that David was going to hold me to my promise to get rid of Nick. We’d been dating for over a year and just like that, I was going to break up with him. I knew that I should have felt something more. It should have hurt more, right?
David had fallen behind as well, and he asked me if I was okay. I told him that I was, but he didn’t believe me. I was lying of course, but he wasn’t supposed to know that.
“I just got a lot on my mind. The quiet helps.”
He took the hint and started to speed back up. I wasn’t ready to talk to him yet, even though it was as good of a time as any. I was about to call to him when I heard a yell a little further up and I knew right away that it was my father. Something was wrong.
I heard yelling as I ran ahead, but one voice came from further down. It didn’t take much to conclude that there was something bad happening in front of me. Marshall was looking down a small cliff that hadn’t been there before and I knew that dad was at the bottom of it. My heart was racing a mile a minute because that meant that he had fallen. I didn’t know how far yet and I was nervous to find out how far down that was going to be.
His voice was cracking and low, but he was saying something as I walked up. I couldn’t see much with the rock face in the way and a early morning fog that still covered a lot of the landscape around us. I leaned over a little to see if I could see him and how bad he was. At least he was conscious and talking. I was going to take that as a really good sign.
“Be careful, dad did that and the rocks underneath him just gave way.”
I stopped and looked where I was standing. I could see an area that was fres
hly broken off and it wasn’t far from where I was. I had a thing with heights, in that I hated them. I could grit my teeth and go too high if I had to of course, but it was never something that I did willingly or with joy.
“Dad?!”
The other two guys were looking down in a position on their bellies and I was still too nervous to do that. I saw Marshall and David talking, lined up next to each other, trying to figure out what to do next. I was freaking out. I was usually good under fire, but this was dad and I couldn’t get my composure.
“Okay Aria, we got to get some help. I’m going to go run back to the car and find someone, get a chopper in here. It’s not too dense so they can get pretty close. You need to go down there and do a once-over, see how he is. I can’t see him that well, but I think he needs some stabilizing medical intervention.”
He was talking low, but quickly. Marshall had this side of him that came out when there was a crisis. He was a natural leader and I knew that his was the best plan. The only problem was the going down to the bottom part of his plan.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to go get help?”
I wasn’t trying to slow it down, but I didn’t want to go down there. It was pretty far, and my heart was pounding at the idea of it.
He looked at me kind of strange and then asked why.
“I don’ know. You know, heights aren’t all that good for me.”
Marshall shook his head. “No, I’m faster.”
“I’ll go.”
The two siblings looked to David. He was already taking off his shirt and checking down the side of the steep cliff. “This should be no problem. It’s narrow enough and has enough footholds that it shouldn’t take but a minute or two.”
Marshall wasn’t sure and asked David if he knew how to climb. He was thinking about the inevitability that he would bring help, only to find that there was one more person in the bottom to rescue. That wouldn’t have been ideal, and it wasn’t hard to know exactly what he was thinking because I was thinking the same thing.
