  “Likewise Jacob.”

  I smiled sweetly at him, we clinked out beers together and both took a drink of beer to celebrate our introduction.

  “So how long are you on land for?”

  Jacob checked his watch and took another sip of beer.

  “Another two hours.”

  “That long? And then where are you off to?”

  “The ship, to get some much needed sleep. We are staying anchored for two weeks.”

  “So would it be safe to assume that you’ll be here tomorrow night?”

  “Only if you’re assuming because you want me to be.”

  I couldn’t help but smile, a light rosy blush gliding across my cheeks.

  “Oh she blushes.”

  I stuck out my tongue at him then; I was hoping he hadn’t noticed that he was making me blush.

  “Shh, don’t tell anyone.”

  He smiled at me, flashing me a wink.

  “Our secret.”

  It was then that another naval officer came up behind us, staring at us with a worried look on his face, as if he wasn’t sure he should interrupt us, so I decided to help him out by interrupting myself.

  “Hi there.”

  “Ma’am.”

  He nodded and smiled very politely, it made me have a sudden love for the bar and military men. I could have easily gotten use to men with manners.

  “Very sorry to interrupt, but commander, we should be heading back to the ship.”

  “Right. Get the men, I’ll meet you outside.”

  “Commander?”

  I asked him with a confused look on my face. He flashed me another sexy grin, and I could feel my cheeks heating once again, he was too sexy for anyone’s good.

  “I’m the commander of my crew, did I forget to say that?”

  He laughed and I smiled, shaking my head out of entertainment.

  “Well, it’s not like I asked for your rank.”

  “Very true, guess we’re even then.”

  “What do you mean?”

  “I didn’t ask for yours either.”

  I snorted and he winked yet again, and I have to admit that I didn’t mind at all, I wanted him to spend the entire evening winking and smiling at me. Unfortunately he had to leave, and I was stuck at the bar until Maggie decided it was time to go home. Jacob reached for my hand, pulling my knuckles up to his lips and kissed them softly, causing another blush to form on my face. That man had a gift for making me blush, three times in one night was a record, including when I was an awkward pre-teen just discovering boys.

  “I shall see you again soon Tabitha, I hope”

  “Same here.”

  I smiled and watched as he walked towards the door, turning back to give me one last smile before leaving the bar to join his crew and return to their ship. I just sat there staring at the door, forgetting about everything around me and just wishing that door would open to reveal that he changed his mind and came back. My only comfort was knowing that he was going to be back here tomorrow night with his crew again, and he practically told me that he hoped I would be here too. I forced my eyes away from the door and turned back to the bar, picking my beer up and finishing it off in one chug, I made the decision during that last swallow that I wouldn’t let anything stop me from returning to the bar the next night, to find the navy seal commander.

  *****

  I had spent all day thinking about the commander, all afternoon trying to perfect my outfit and look; I wanted that night to go perfectly. I didn’t even care that he was going to be leaving in two weeks, for two weeks he could be all mine. It felt strange wanting something like that so badly, I hardly knew him, but something about him drew me to him like no man I had ever met before. Maybe it was the uniform, maybe it was how easily he made me blush, whatever it was though, I wanted it as much and for however long I could hold on to it. That night I convinced Maggie she needed a wingman again, smiling too sweetly andt she caught on to my intentions. She made fun of me the entire way back to the bar, singing that old k.i.s.s.i.n.g song and saying the usually “I told you sos”. In my head I was hoping that this commander was worth it, because I didn’t know how many trips like this with Maggie I could take. From there my mind wandered to ideas of not being at the bar, but being other places with him, exploring the city, having him eat dinner at my place, having him only a few feet away from my bedroom. I swallowed a lump in my throat and leaned my head back against the car seat, when I got home after the bar; I was going to have to clean my house, in a big way. I must have dosed off on the way, because when I opened my eyes again Maggie was parking.

  “Oh good, you’re awake.”

  “Mmhmm. I can’t believe I fell asleep.”

  “Well just think of it this way, now you are all rested for your stud.”

  Maggie winked at me when she said that, it was if she spent the entire drive inside my head and knew exactly what I thought about Jacob and all of the things I thought about doing to him. I was still skeptical about him though, men like him typically never went for girls like me.

  “If he’s even here.”

  “If he isn’t, we can always find you a new catch.”

  Maggie winked at me again and I just rolled my eyes at her, she was an unstoppable force when it came to men. We hoped out of the mustang and headed into the bar, Maggie immediately ditched me for a small group of officers, and I headed towards the bar to wait and see if Jacob would actually show up. It took him half way through my beer to notice me, he was hidden in a dark corner of the bar waiting for me. He snuck up behind me while I was mid beer sip, causing me to cough and choke on beer foam as soon as his hands touched my shoulder. Jacob laughed and caressed my back, helping my lungs recover from the burning sensation of being filled with cheap beer.

  “Didn’t mean to scare you.”

  “Seems to be your favorite past-time.”

  I stuck my tongue out at him and we both laughed. He reached out and grabbed what was left of my beer, reaching his free hand out and waited for me to grip it. I happily accepted and slid off of my bar stool, giving him a wink as I laced my fingers in between his. My mood unfortunately dropped as we made our way into the tiny dark corner he had reserved for us, because a few other officers were giving him a nasty glare as we walked past them.

  “What’s their problem?”

  “Who’s?”

  “Those officers. They don’t look happy.”

  I nodded my head towards the glaring officers to point them out to Jacob, but it was if he already knew who I was referring to without having to look back.

  “Just lonely I suppose, they haven’t gotten any action since we anchored.”

  “Neither have you.”

  Jacob twirled me around right before we reached our seats, spinning me so that I was facing him. He smiled while he slide my beer glass onto our table, never breaking eye contact with me.

  “But I have you.”

  He kissed me after that, pressing his lips gently against mine, pushing hard enough to move my body backwards, but not to deepen the kiss. I could feel the chair against the back of my knees, his kiss continuing to push me backwards until I fell backwards onto the seat cushion. Once I was sitting he pulled away from my lips and walked around the table, he sat in the seat next to me and just grinned at me. My face was covered in a shocked, blushing expression as I tried to find my bearings, his lips felt too amazing not to drift into another consciousness for a moment.

  “You still with me gorgeous?”

  “Wha? Yeah, I’m here. Sorry.”

  “Don’t tell me you’re bored with me already.”

  “Far from bored, I promise.”

  I gave him the most convincing smile I could find within myself, it would have killed me for him to think I was bored, what I really wanted in that moment was to have his lips on mine again.

  “Just making sure.”

  He started laughing again, but this time he was staring at me intently while he did it. I just stared at h
im, embarrassed and wondering what it was he was laughing at.

  “I just realized something…”

  “What’s that?”

  He made me nervous, dragging it out like he did. I sat squirming against my seat waiting for him to finish his sentence. The way he just watched me instead of continuing made me think he enjoyed watching me worry and squirm.

  “I forgot to grab myself another beer.”

  I stared at him, wide eyed and mouth open. All of that squirming, and him watching while I did it because he had forgotten to grab another pint while he was up to get me.

  “Oh, is that all.”

  I stuck my tongue out at him for the second time that night, but instead of laughing as he did the first time, he leaned forward and sucked my tongue into his mouth. I couldn’t help but moan as he shifted my chair to move me closer to him, feeling the warmth of his body as he pressed his chest against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and played with the tiny hairs along the back of his head, he gripped my legs just above my knees, massaging my lower thighs as our mouths explored each other’s. Despite the light beer taste along his tongue, Jacob’s taste was extraordinary, something I wouldn’t be able to describe in a thousand years. I pulled his lips harder against mine, swirling my tongue around his, I couldn’t get enough of his mouth. We continued to make out like teenagers, his hands slowly traveling up my legs until he was massaging into my inner thighs, just barely tucked underneath the hem of my short skirt.

  *****

  I don’t know what had come over me, but something about him just made me want to jump him despite how full the bar was. I decided to reign myself in and take Jacob to somewhere private, I figured Maggie’s car would be the perfect place, it was going to go un-used for the next few hours, might as well borrow it. I stood up and held out my hand for him, and when he laced his fingers in mine I couldn’t help but grin.

  “Come on.”

  “Where are we going?”

  “You’ll see.”

  I squeezed his hand and started walking towards the door, flashing Maggie a smile when she caught me leaving with Jacob. I also couldn’t help myself and stuck my tongue out at the other officers that were giving dirty looks towards Jacob when we sat down. Jacob laughed when he noticed my tongue sticking out and leaned in to whisper in my ear.

  “You’re trouble.”

  “You have no idea.”

  I continued to lead him out of the bar and into the parking lot, stopping once we stood next to Maggie’s car. I leaned back against the door and pulled him by his shirt to press his hard chest against mine. He leaned his head down and I immediately captured his lips with my own, sucking his bottom lip in-between both of mine and nibbled along it. I could almost hear him growl as he pressed into me harder, sucking my tongue into his mouth and dragging his teeth along it. I moaned as I dropped one of my hands from his shirt to reach for the back door handle, pulling the door open and allowing our bodies to fall inside. When my back hit the cushion, Jacob pulled away from lips and laughed, shaking his head with a devilish grin.

  “All kinds of trouble.”

  “Just shut the door and kiss me again.”

  I was grinning right back at him, still not understanding what was driving me to act so wild and different from how I normally was, but the excitement of the new me was making my desire for the sexy commander even greater. I think he could tell how deep my desire was running while we squished into the back seat and continued to make out as if we were both sixteen. His mouth covering my lips and commanding them to give him everything. I happily obeyed his unspoken orders, my legs moving to wrap around his hips as I started to grind against his hips as we kissed, causing him to growl and groan against my tongue. He pulled away from my lips again despite my protesting and moved his mouth to my neck, sucking and nibbling, leaving small red marks along my skin as his hands moved up under my skirt to tease me against my panties. I couldn’t do anything other than moan, tilt my head back and grind myself against his hand, secretly hoping he’d move them out of the way and touch me in the place I truly wanted him to. Instead, he teased me for longer, his mouth moving down my neck, across my collar bone to my chest, his hand pulling the top of my dress down to reveal the top half of my breast sticking out of my lace bra. He kissed along the edge of my bra, his hand finally sliding my panties to the side and pressed them against my core. I moaned louder and laced my fingers through his very short hair, gripping the sides of his head I pulled him up to press his lips against mine. His tongue invaded my mouth immediately, his fingers dipped inside of me and forced me to arch my back and push my hips up. I could feel his grin against my mouth as he worked his fingers in and out of me, his other hand moving to tug on his belt, pulling it through the loops and tossing it onto the car floor. I wiggled my hips harder against his fingers, swirling them around inside me before he pulled them out. Jacob sat back on his heels and I watched as he pulled his glistening fingers up to his lips and sucked them between his lips. He groaned as he sucked on his own fingers, and all I could do was stare up at him, I had never seen anything so erotic and sexy before in my life. He licked his lips and moved both his hands to unzip his pants, tugging them down just far enough to free himself from the fabric prison he was trapped in. I had to lick my lips at his size, he seemed larger than any man I had ever seen, and my body tingled at the prospect of trying to fit him inside of me. He reached back behind himself and dug through his crumpled pants pocket and pulled out a small foil packet, brought it up to his teeth and tore it open. While watching him maneuver around the foil and apply the smooth latex, all I could think of was how badly I wanted those teeth on me. Once he finished with that small packet he tossed it aside with his belt, leaned into me and pressed his mouth hard against him, kissing me possessively as he positioned himself at my entrance. I bit down on his lower lip and rubbed myself against him, using my body to beg for him to take me, in that moment I needed it more than anything. Jacob seemed just as desperate for me, filling me completely in one hard thrust. I bit down on his tongue hard, my body needing to adjust to the large size of him, making him groan and grind himself around inside of me. I whimpered and rocked against him, forcing my body to accept him deeper and deeper until I was fully adjusted to his large size and my whimpering turned to moaning. He knew the sign and began to thrust slowly in and out of me, his mouth moving away from my lips to suck and nibble on my neck. Once he had a rhythm, Jacob started moving faster in and out of me, pounding against my core a little harder. My hips pushed up against each of his thrusts, my hands moving from his head to his back, digging at his shoulders through his shirt. Jacob growled against my mouth, his thrusts becoming harder and faster as I clawed at his back, I could feel him slamming into my sweet spot with each hard thrust. He was driving my wild, my chest grinding against his as I gasped for air, pulling away from his lips to take what little breaths I could. I could feel Jacob panting against my neck, his groans vibrating against my skin. I wasn’t sure how much more I could take, the mix of his size and the fact that we were making out like teenagers for over an hour, I was ready to blow at any moment. My inner walls began to clamp down around his shaft, pulling him tighter inside me, letting me feel him throbbing from within. Jacob started to grunt harder, pushing himself deeper inside of me, trying to work against the tight grip of my core.

  “Oh god, you are amazing.”

  “Don’t stop.”

  “Wouldn’t dream of it gorgeous.”

  Jacob only had his mouth off of me long enough to say those words, than his mouth was on mine, kissing me hard enough to make my lips hurt. His hand snaked in between us and rubbed against my sensitive nub, and that was my undoing. I moaned loudly and arched my back, tilting my head as I closed my eyes and let go. My body flooded with my release, clamping down hard against Jacob as my thighs clamped around his hips, grinding into him. Jacob felt my body trembling, gripping onto him completely, he bit down into my exposed shoulder and muffled his loud growl as he
released buried inside of me. I could hear him gasping for breath as he thrust a few more times, finishing us both off before collapsing on top of me. He nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck, both of us heaving for fresh air, something the car was suddenly lacking.

  “That was…unexpected.”

  “Good. Would hate to think you thought of me as easy.”

  We both shared a chuckled before he slowly pulled out of me, leaning back against the door as I straightened out my clothing. He pulled the latex off of him and leaned over to grab the discarded packet, tucking the used rubber back in the packet, he opened the door and dropped it onto the ground, tucked himself back into his pants and climbed out of the car. I grabbed his belt and slid out, closing the door I leaned back against it and smiled at him, handing him his belt.

  *****

  We held hands while we walked back into the bar, and were bombarded by Maggie as soon as we crossed the threshold.

  “There you are.”

  “Yeah, we just stepped out for some fresh air.”

  I giggled and Jacob coughed to clear his throat, holding back his own chuckle.

  “Whatever, anyways. A bunch of men got really upset over lord knows what, so I’ve been here alone for the past hour.”

  “Aww, I’m sorry hun.”

  I was secretly telling her now she knew what it felt like, but I held my tongue. She seemed genuinely upset that all the men were too distracted to talk to her.

  “Can we go now please?”

  “Can’t we stay just a little longer?”

  “I just want to go. Stay if you want, but you’ll have to find your own way home.”

  “No, I’ll come with.”

  I sighed and turned to Jacob, leaning up on my tip toes, I kissed him goodbye, short and sweet but enough to get it across that I would be back.

  “Hold up one second.”

  “Just for a second. I’ll meet you in the car Mags.”

  Maggie nodded and strode out of the bar, leaving me alone with Jacob.

  “I forgot to get your number last night, I won’t be that dumb again.”
