His hands gripped her waist, slamming her down as his hips thrust upwards. Ashlea was a mess of moans and cries as he pummeled her insides. In the back of her head, she could hear the similarities of the girl in the video and her own screams of pleasure. Jesse had a way of becoming part of her and she was quickly tightening up around him as her insides imploded from the repetition.
Ashlea gripped him, her walls clenching his throbbing cock, while her lips begged for his cum. She couldn’t take anymore and he finally started to stiffen up, a heat blasting inside of her. She clenched him as he held her still, his body pinning hers against the tile. Jesse kissed her, his tongue pushing in as he filled her full of his hot seed. It was the first time he had felt so complete and it was minutes before he moved away.
Releasing her and watching his softening rod slip out of her, he finally looked down into her smoky blue eyes. They twinkled and her face was alight with a smile he had not seen before. “Turn around.”
She shook her head. “No more. I need a minute.”
He pushed her around, her breasts pressing up against the heated wall. She waited for his penetration, his assault on her senses complete. Instead she felt slippery fingers moving against her, leaving a trail of soft bubbles in their wake. His hands worked on her front, sliding around her turgid tips and soft underside of her breasts. By the time he had reached the small tuft of hair above her womanhood, she was pushing back against his hard length.
It slipped between her thighs and she touched it lightly with her hands. Groaning, his hips jerked and he yanked out of her. Ashlea tilted herself just a little and rejoiced as he slid deep inside of her. Her insides screamed from the raw feeling, but she couldn’t get enough. She begged him to go slow and for several strokes he managed. About the time she started to shake with her forth orgasm in such a short time, Jesse’s resolve was gone and he started to slam into her as she screamed his name.

There was a sound in the distance that roused Ashlea from her sleep. She felt the warm body she was snuggled against and smiled to herself. The day had been exhausting, they always were with him. Another buzz and she realized it was the man’s door buzzer. Throwing on one of his shirts, she padded down the stairs to open it. A delivery man handed her a large envelope addressed to her. She signed the man’s list and she opened it. She had expected it to be the paperwork from the settlement, but instead it was a magazine. She saw the cover and groaned inwardly, cursing as she went back up the stairs.
“Jesse, wake up!” Ashlea slapped down the magazine, the two of them gracing the cover. “Did you know about this?”
He shook his head, but a smile crossed his face as he saw the compromising pictures. “It’s amazing what a good lens can do, huh?”
“Why are you so happy about this? Do you know what this is going to do to my career? I have already gotten ten missed calls from my boss.”
“Good. Then you will have no reason to go back to New York. Stay here and start your own PR Firm. You already have me as a client and you have done wonders for me. Besides with the low-ball settlement, I still have quite a bit of money.” He winked at her, but she did not seem too relieved.
She looked at him like he was crazy. The jury was still out on if he actually was or not. “You can’t be serious.”
“Very much so.” He was walking towards her with a determined look that moved her away.
“You don’t date. I know everything about you, remember?”
“I didn’t date. Things change.”
The foot of the bed stopped her from moving back any further and she looked down, unable to keep up the intensity in his eyes. “And you could be happy with just one woman?”
“As long as that woman is you, yes. You make me very happy.”
“We don’t even know each other Jesse.”
One hand cupped her cheek, while another pulled her body forward to his. “You’re right Ashlea. There are some things that I haven’t told you. No one knows but a few.”
She sat back a little, his hand moving off of her face. There was something different in his eyes, a pain that she had only seen in passing before. “Just tell me.”
He took a deep breath, his eyes looking off in the distance, focusing on something out of sight. “That room I put you in, is my daughter Angela’s room.”
“I didn’t know you had a daughter.”
“I don’t. Not anymore.”
His face tightened and she felt his pain seeping out into the room around them. Ashlea almost wanted to stop him, tell him that she didn’t need to know. It hurt her to see him like that, vulnerable in front of her. She waited for him to say more, hoping that if he did, it would somehow relieve his pain.
“Angela was nine and since I was getting popular in the MMA, I wanted to keep her out of the spotlight. I wanted her to have a normal life, so she lived with her mother and I would see her as much as I could. Denise was milking me for child support and I finally told her that we would have to go to court. She stopped letting me see Angela and though I wanted to go to court, my manager insisted that it stay hushed. He was afraid it would ruin my reputation.” His lips lifted with a sardonic grin. Ashlea waited, holding her breath for what happened next.
“Angela had an accident at home in the back yard pool. She was pronounced dead at the hospital and she was gone before I got there. I never got to see her alive again. The last time I seen her was in the Rose Room, right before I left for a match. That was a year before she died and I didn’t do anything, because of my reputation. My little girl would still be alive, if only I had fought for her. And now, I can’t bear to change the room. I keep it just the way it was before she left.”
Ashlea was stunned, her arms going around his neck. She had never heard a wisp about any of it and she had so many questions, but it was not what he needed. What he needed was her touch and it seemed to almost have a healing effect on him. His body relaxed as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
“I know enough that no matter what is behind you, it can never change the future I see ahead of us. I am sorry that you had to keep that in for so long. I can’t imagine it, but I am here now.”
The moment of ardor was temporarily gone, but there was something else there in place of it. It was the intimacy that she had never imagined, the baring of ones soul in front of another and coming out of it stronger for it. They settled back against the pillows, her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat slow down. He calmed next to her and she snuggled in against him. All the other problems of the day seemed so tiny in the face of what he had endured. Ashlea started to realize that the drinking was to numb the pain and she knew that together, they could get passed it.

Chapter 1
“I don’t know what the problem is Chloe. You are almost there, you just have to find a few more dumb jocks on your roster and you will be home free.”
I wanted to believe her, but it seemed like I was never going to make enough for tuition. After the college we went to raised their rates again, the last year had been the hardest. I just had one more term to go and I would be home free, but that one term was going to cost a lot and I had only a week to come up with the rest of it.
Thinking about getting a real job wouldn’t work because they don’t pay enough. I make more tutoring the dumb jocks as Lianna put it, but I was already tutoring most of them. Football season was over and the amount of students that played, didn’t care much about their grades now. They were just concerned when it meant that they couldn’t play ball. Without that in their heads, there was nothing for them to work for. It was back to parties and staying out all night. This was a big problem to my business and the money for tuition that I needed.
“I don’t know about home free, but if I could just find one or two more that could pay, I can at least make tuition.”
“Because they are teaching me a lesson or something, you know hard work and all of that.”
“Seems kind of hypocritical since he got all of his money inherited.”
“I know but it is how it is. At least mom helps out sometimes, but she can’t do much because dad watches the bank account like a hawk.”
She shook her head like she didn’t get it. Hell I didn’t even understand it, but it was the way it was and if I had learned anything, it was just to go with the flow of things, to just make it work.
“Well there is nothing we can do tonight. There might be a couple of guys on the rowing team or maybe hockey, it’s about that time of the season.”
I grimaced. If there was anything worse than dumb football guys, it was the aggressive hockey players. I wondered if they got into the sport to start fights because every time I had been dragged to a game, it ended up in a brawl on the ice, the red so much brighter against all the white surrounded them. It was brutal and I didn’t even want to think about having to deal with any of them. Dad was probably easier to deal with than a guy like Nick Zandowski.
Nick was handsome, I will give him that, but he was a jerk like the rest of the hockey team. He was the star for the school in hockey and like my family he came from money as well. I heard he was pretty smart though, so I doubted that he needed a tutor. There were a few other guys that had the money to pay my rate, so I decided that maybe I would go down to the Student Union tomorrow and see if anyone was looking or had signed up for a tutor.
“You’re right. I will go down there tomorrow and see if there is anyone looking.”
“Never know Chloe, you may get another hot guy like Jimmy.”
“Yeah and you see how that turned out didn’t you?”
“Jimmy was a douche. Everyone knew that.”
“Yeah, but he was really good at some things.”
“I bet he was.”
Lianna was talking about the little affair we had had at the end of the season. It was nice while it lasted, the man was very good at pleasuring, but he was a dick that liked to share it so I had to get away from all of that. We hadn’t even really dated, just a few nights of passion and that had been the year before. I hadn’t dated much since then. Jimmy had started a couple of rumours about me, made a tape that he distributed around campus after I stopped seeing him, so now if someone asked me out, I wasn’t sure why.
“Okay enough about Jimmy. What are we doing tonight?”
She shrugged. “There is always a party going on or we can go watch that new movie we have wanted to see.”
That was not really a choice. I was not into the parties, even though Lianna was. There were just too many people there and by the time we usually got to one of the parties on campus, everyone was pretty much slaughtered and it wasn’t much fun. It wasn’t fun for me to watch the drunks play and since I didn’t drink, it didn’t make sense to go.
“Movie.”
“How did I know that would be what you picked?”
“Because you know me so well. Besides, Nicholas Cage was looking hot in that movie trailer.”
She sighed and picked out a skirt from the closet. “He is so old Chloe. I swear I wonder about your taste in men.”
“What about Johnson?”
She made a face that made me laugh.
“You mean, he who must not be named?”
I giggled, I couldn’t help it. My best friend had an on again, off again relationship since I had met her the first year of school. He was hot and they were perfect together, but they fought like cats and dogs. I never was sure if they were on or off, so by her face, they were off again.
“He doesn’t count.”
“Ah, I see. Well you bring up Jimmy and I will bring up Johnson.”
“Okay, fair enough. Do you want to see if Denise wants to come?”
“Nice subject change. Sure, give her a call, but I think she was going out on a date tonight.”
“That’s what we should be doing, it’s Friday night.”
“We’re going out. The movies counts.”
She didn’t look so sure, but she started to change anyways. “You know the bathroom is right there.”
“Stop being a prude. It’s just tits Chloe. Besides, yours are way bigger.”
I don’t know why she thought that nudity was normal. I was more modest, leaving my body for those that I loved to see. She liked to dress half naked most of the time, so I guess she figured that everyone had seen it all before. When I went to get an outfit, she gave me that look, but like hers, she just kept it to herself. We had some things in common, like a love for old movies and we were both on the board for the school newspaper, but that was about where is stopped. Beyond that, every bit of us was different.
I went to the bathroom to change, ignoring her comment. Fixing my hair, I brushed out the red curls, braiding it down my shoulder to the side. It was the only way to keep it under wraps, too messy to do much else with. While Lianna wore a red hot dress that showed off her legs, I was wearing a sweater and some jeans. Like I said, complete opposites.
“So you had to go to the back of the closet for that one didn’t you?”
“What, I think it’s cute.”
She rolled her eyes. “Of course you do.”
“Shut up. Are you ready?”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
Chapter 2
We got to the movies as the opening credits were going on. There weren’t a lot of young people there for it being a college town, but I figured most of them were at a party. Lianna had tried to drag me to one and she probably would by the end of the night.
I loved the movie, Lianna was not so impressed, but I had a thing for the actor so I would watch anything that he made. On our way out, Lianna mentioned a certain party that Johnson was supposed to be at later.
“I thought you guys were taking a break?”
“We are, but I need to get laid and there is no one else that I want it to be.”
“Love, huh? Must suck.”
“It does when it is bad and we are fighting, but it makes up for it when it’s good.”
I nodded, but I couldn’t agree. She was a mess half the time over him and as much as she tried to hide it from me, I could hear her crying at night some times over him. I wouldn’t mention it because she was someone that wanted to be strong and to put up a front, so all I could do was let her. If she was going to get her heart broken tonight because he was with someone else, I couldn’t stop it from happening, but at least I could be there when it did happen.
“Fine Lianna. I don’t think it is a very good idea, but you know I am with you.”
She thanked me, though we both knew that I was going to go anyways. I was used to getting dragged to things and on occasion I dragged her to some book signing that she didn’t want to be caught dead in, so it worked somehow.
I let her drive there, because I didn’t know the way. The party was at Tommy’s house, the star quarterback and I had a feeling Jimmy was going to be there. The things I do for friends.
***
When we got there, it was already raging, loud music blaring out of the speakers in the house and there were people everywhere. I groaned to myself, wishing that I didn’t have to be there, but I knew that I was going to go. I had to for her.
“Why don’t you take that sweater off at least Chloe. You still got the tank top on right?”
I looked down at what I was wearing. I didn’t think it was that bad, but I did as she suggested. It would make me blend in better with the rest of the people there at least. Pulling the sweater off, I situated my chest so that it wasn’t showing anything else than way too much cleavage. “Better?”
“Yes. If I had tits like that, I would show the world.”
I sighed, knowing that what she said was the truth. “Yeah, yeah, let’s just go and get this over with. If you end up with Johnson tonight, I am taking the car back to th
e house, deal?”
She nodded. Both knowing that it was what she wanted and I hoped for her sake, it was what happened. I hoped more than anything that Johnson hadn’t brought a girl there or was with a girl when we got there. It would break her heart and wouldn’t be the first time he had done it. Johnson was one of those guys that would break up so that he could find someone else to be with.
Walking into the house, I recognized most of the people there and one of the first people I saw was Nick. Our eyes met for a moment, just a second really, before I seen something else behind him that made me stall. “Lianna, why don’t we just go home? I don’t even think he is here hun.”
“He is, I will find him.”
I tried to stop her from looking where I was looking, taking her hand to steer her away from it. It was going to break her heart or she would be fighting in a minute. I never knew with them two.
“That motherfucker.”
Well, it looks like she seen him. Johnson was pushed up against some blonde chick on a couch, making out. The blonde was one of the cheerleaders that I had tutored before, Candace or something like that. She was cute, petite and now she had her hands on the wrong man. I looked over at Lianna taking it in and then she started towards them. “Let’s not do this in front of all of these people Lianna. It’s not worth it and you are going to regret it in the morning.”
She looked at me like I was a traitor, the hurt was misplaced, but I still hated to see it in her eyes. “Okay, well let’s do this then.”
It ended up being a fight that I stayed out of until someone else tried to jump onto her. By the end of it, there was a small brawl of women and then even some men got involved. It happened so fast, but that is how it was with her. Fast and loud.
The cops were called and I was named and arrested, along with several others, though Lianna somehow got out of it all, the one that had started it. I was put into the back of a cop car and then someone else was put in beside me. None other than Nick. I cursed under my breath and tried to not look at him. I had a crush on him and seeing him like this, ripped bra and marks on my face, in the back of a cop car, was not the way I had seen the night turning out.
