“What about your dad, he didn't teach you?”
“Again...part of that long story. Now c'mon Johnson, we talkin’ or shootin’?”
“Well I had a whole plan to wrap my arms around you and teach you the proper technique, but I guess the plans shot to shit, so to speak,” I smirk.
“No, no! Forget I ever shot, do what you were gonna do, I'll play along.”
“Come here then.”
Bella takes the bullets off the table and brings them over. I load her gun, putting the headphones over her ears and turn her around. She holds the gun up and I adjust her hands. I run my hands across her bare arms, keeping them straight in front of her and then drag mine down to rest on her waist.
I tap her shoulder as she takes the safety off the gun and pulls the trigger. A loud ding goes off around us as the bullet ricochets off the target.
Shit, she can shoot. She cocks the gun and that loud ding echoes again. She does it three more times.
Cocks the gun, shoot, ding. Cocks the gun, shoot, ding. Cocks the gun, shoot, ding.
She cocks the gun one more time as I brace my hands on her forearm watching her line herself up. I smile as I flick my tongue against her neck and the shot goes off without the follow of the ding. Bella puts the gun down on the shelf in front of her and scrambles to take her headphones off.
“Are you fuckin’ crazy, I have a loaded gun Damon! You can't just lick my neck like that you...dammit.”
She wraps her arms around my neck, smashing our lips together and pushes me backwards until my back collides with the wall. Her hands pull my face closer to hers, our lips and tongues in a dance for control. I put my hands under her thighs and lift her, wrapping those muscular beauties around me and turn us as I slam her back into the wall, pushing my groin hard into her.
“Shootin’ always made me a little crazy,” she smirks against my lips.
I pull away from her a little bit and slip my hand to the button of her jeans, unbuttoning it. She hoists herself up a little higher giving me access, as I push my hand down her pants, slipping it inside her thong and she moans.
Soaked. She is fucking soaked.
“Damon, there's a camera in here. Earl can…”
“He can't. I noticed them on his desk as soon as we came in. He can't see anything except the edge of my head, it's right above us. Let me make you feel as good as you made me feel, angel. I owe you one.”
I move my fingers through her wet folds and she whimpers, biting down on her lip to keep quiet. I find her tight bud and flick my thumb against it as my middle finger slips inside her.
“Oh fuck...please Damon...yes.”
I kiss down her neck, her soft skin like velvet against my lips. I glide my hand down her neck, to her shoulder and then down to her ribs. My hand moves inside her t-shirt to the skin right under her breast, caressing it with my thumb. I feel her abs tighten underneath my touch and I move my hand higher, squeezing her full breast through her bra as her nipple pebbles underneath my palm.
I'm keeping her up by the strength of my thighs, my hands too busy pulling the pleasure from every inch of her body.
“God you're intoxicating, you know that? You make me crazy Bella,” I say through gritted teeth.
My fingers move in a frenzied motion inside her and against her clit and my other hand pinches her nipple. My mouth, envious of the indulgence, dips down to bite her nipple through her bra, pulling a cry from Bella's throat.
“Oh shit I'm so close..so close Damon, don't stop,” she whispers.
I add another finger inside her, my thumb assaulting her sensitive button and she quickly explodes around me, gripping my fingers with the walls of her pussy so tightly I feel them go slightly numb.
She slams her head down on my shoulder and I pull my fingers out of her slowly, licking off each one as she watches me with hooded eyes.
“Fucking delicious. I'm not done with that meal, not by a long shot,” I whisper kissing her neck.
She shivers and pushes against my chest smirking.
“You are the devil.”
I smile and she walks back over to our guns, loading hers up eyeing me.
“Let's have a contest. See who can hit the most targets,” she suggests.
“Well considering you're Annie Oakley, that's not entirely fair.”
“How about for every one shot I take, you get two?”
“Well this is super fucking embarrassing. I need a handicap to even the playing field with my girl?”
I realize afterwards what I said and Bella looks away reaching for her headphones.
“Alright Gavinwood, you're on,” I say trying to reel her back in.
She nods and we both put our headphones on and load our guns.
After an hour of shooting, Bella has impressively obliterated me in our competition.
“So what's it gonna be angel? You won fair and square.”
“I think I'm gonna pull a gametime decision.”
“Oh yeah? How do you mean?”
“You'll see when you get me in your bed.”
I groan and Bella smirks as we take our guns and walk back to the front giving them to Earl.
“Still got it I see,” Earl smirks.
“Like ridin’ a bike. It was nice to see ya again Earl.”
“You too darlin’. Get that hot headed brother back over here for a round or two. It'd be nice to catch up with Mr. Hollywood.”
Bella laughs and nods as she reaches over to hug Earl. I thank him and shake his hand, noticing his grip tightening just a little too hard for a friendly handshake.
“You best remember how good that girl can shoot, son. She don't miss very often, but when she does you bet your ass her granddaddy don't.”
I nod my head and catch up with Bella at the front door, putting an arm around her waist, guiding her out.
It's nice that Bella has so many people looking out for her, but I can't help that annoying feeling my stomach that they're all protecting her from me.
Bella
I roll over in bed and connect with a hard chest. I jump upright, panic setting in and look around.
Oh my God, I slept over. Shit, shit, shit.
Damon stirs in bed next to me and I pull the sheet up over my naked breasts.
“Morning angel. How'd you sleep?”
“Damon, I shouldn't have stayed. You said you would wake me,” I say shaking my head gripping the sheet tighter.
“You were sleeping so well I couldn’t. Relax Bella, there are no rules, it's not a big deal,” he says moving closer to me.
“What time is it?” I ask.
“Uhh...10:35. Why? Got a hot date to get to?”
“Shit. I missed church. Dammit, my mama is gonna kill me,” I say scrambling out of bed.
Damon grabs my ankle and throws me back on the bed, crawling in between my legs, inches away from my naked pussy.
“You're a little sinner, Gavinwood."
"I think I was already a sinner after last night, no?" I smirk.
He trails a finger up my bare thigh, stopping right before he reaches my folds. My pussy clenches, bracing for his fingers but he doesn't move them higher.
"Wanna sin some more?" he asks in his raspy, sleepy voice.
"I…”
My words are cut off by his hot mouth covering my swollen center. My head slams back on the pillows and I fist the sheets next to me as he gorges himself on my juices. His tongue flicks against my clit and I buck up into his face, my pussy raw after our escapades last night.
After the range we came back here, skipped dinner and had each other for dessert, all damn night. I don't even remember how it all ended. I was so physically spent, I passed out at some point, making him promise he would wake me in an hour to go back home.
“Shit, right there,” I moan.
I grab the back of his head and pull him closer to me, my leg dropping on his strong shoulder. He obliges and buries his face in deeper, his head thrashing back and forth hungrily, hands goin
g underneath me to squeeze my ass. He uses my ass cheeks to push my body further into him and he slips his tongue inside me, licking my walls, grazing my clit with his teeth.
“Oh my God, Damon...I can’t...it's too much,” I whine.
He doesn't listen and his tongue flattens against me, dipping down to lick my ass. I jump and pull on his hair to take his face away from me.
“Damon…”
“Relax angel, trust me.”
I ease up on his hair and he dips his head back down, going back to my ass. I swear his tongue is a foot long, because one second I feel it against my clit and the next it's back to my ass. He's licking me up and down like an ice pop, swallowing down all my nectar. The scruff of his beard rubs against my opening as he licks back up to my clit and I bounce up into him.
“Oh fuck, that felt good.”
He smiles and buries his face back in me, latching onto my clit with his lips as the stubble on his chin rubs against me, igniting a spark, a dormant volcano finally about to burst.
Jesus Christ that beard.
He shakes his head back and forth, the friction bringing me to the brink of erupting and when he bites on my clit I let go, gushing onto his face. He laps at me, licking my pussy clean and kneels up, smiling an ungodly smirk.
“Don’t ever shave, ever,” I pant.
In one swift motion he's inside me, his thick cock pushing the walls of my pussy open, stretching me to my limits.
“Fuck Bella you're so tight, I'm about to come. Watching you as you came all over my face could have made me explode right there.”
I push on his chest causing him to pull out of me and push him down, wanting control. I straddle his waist, sitting down on his shaft. Inch by glorious inch my body sucks him inside of me and I watch it all, captivated.
“Lay back and enjoy the ride, big guy,” I sass.
He puts his hands on my hips and I shake my head, grabbing his hands and pinning them above his head.
His eyebrows arch and he looks down at my tits, hanging in front of his face. He leans up sucking one nipple into his mouth and then popping it out to take in the other. His warm mouth over my sensitive nipple makes me shiver with need on top of him.
He bucks up into me and I slam down, gripping his hands as I start to bounce on top of him. I feel my body protest against how deep he is, but I push down further, sighing as he hits a spot inside me that no one has ever touched except him.
“Angel,” he grits out. “I'm so close, let me touch you.”
I release his hands and his thumb connects with my clit, rubbing it hectically. I grip his shoulders, digging my nails into his taunt muscles and move my body back and forth on top of him, forward and back pushing his thumb harder into my clit, desperate for the explosion he always delivers to me.
“Close…” I manage to squeak out.
I plant my thighs harder into the bed on the sides of him, digging in deep as I ride him frantically...so, so close. The bed is shaking, the headboard slamming against the wall but I don't give a shit. I'm almost there and I feel him start to swell inside me. A warm rush tingles down my legs and I cry out Damon's name as my release crashes into me.
In the next second I'm on my back. Damon is above me, his big hand wrapped around his shaft, pumping his release onto my stomach as he growls. Watching his strong hand wrapped around his dick, eyes shut tight and his beautiful mouth opened in a satisfied look, does something to me. I feel a quick spasm in my chest and swat it away.
“I'm sorry about the condom again,” he rasps, his eyes opening and looking down at me breaking me out of my thoughts.
“I didn't realize either, I should really just go on the pill.”
“I don't want you to have to do that. I can remember next time I just...you get me so wrapped up in you Bella, I would forget my own damn head if it wasn't attached to my body.”
He cups my cheek and kisses my lips, leaning down on me. He breaks the kiss and laughs as he looks down at my chest.
“Well I just made a mess out of both of us. Come on let's shower.”
I grab his hand as we stroll across the apartment and I can't help the smile that takes over my face. I'm happy that I seem to wrap up this man as tight as he's wrapping up me. My impending trip to Mexico is still a looming black cloud over us but I tuck it away.
Enjoy this moment, Bella, the rest can get sorted out later.
“Funny thing ain’t it? Your mama allows a loose household throughout your teenage years, not like the prison she grew up in, but y’all can’t follow one simple rule. Get your butt to church on Sundays!”
“I’m sorry Mama,” I grumble walking through the front door of my parent’s house.
She’s standing in the kitchen with her hands on her hips and I walk towards her, kissing her on her cheek.
“Where have ya been? Lacey was there this mornin’.”
“I...I just didn’t feel good this mornin’. Slept in.”
“Yeah I doubt that,” she says nodding towards the kitchen table.
“Where’s Grandpa Hank and Grandma Jen?”
“Out back cookin’ out with your daddy. Come and sit, I don’t like that the only way I’m hearin’ about your life these days is through Lacey.”
I grab a water bottle from the fridge, opening the cap and take a long sip. I sit at the table next to my mama and smile at her.
“I’m sorry about this mornin’. It won’t happen again.”
“Don’t you get all cute on me Bella June, I ain’t your daddy. You get your butt to church from now on and that’s it. Bring Damon with ya next time. God knows that look on your face means he could use a little repentin’ too.”
“Oh my gosh Mama, stop it,” I say slapping her arm.
She laughs shaking her head.
“I could recognize that look in a heartbeat. Saw it on my face in the mirror for four years before your daddy left.”
“Me and Damon ain’t you and daddy Mama. We’re just havin’ fun, that’s all.”
“Do what ya need to do Bella. You’re a grown woman, I get that,” she says putting her hands up. “How’s work goin’? Normani doin’ okay?”
“She’s really good, I like her a lot. She’s uhh...she’s tough,” I say not wanting to dive too much into Normani and the things I know about her.
I like her and want to keep the trust that we’re building as friends.
“She had a hard life.”
“So I’ve heard.”
“Well I’m glad she’s workin’ out with you,” my mama smiles.
“Of course she is. She’s been great and she’s fun. I really like her.”
“Good. You look happy baby, I like seein’ you this way. It’s been a long time since I saw a smile like that on your face.”
She smiles at me and brings me into a hug. I hug her back feeling myself smile too.
“I am happy. It’s been a lot of fun hangin’ out with Damon.”
“Well I’m sure he’s part of the reason, but just don’t make him the only reason. You can be just as happy on your own, don’t forget that. I love your daddy with all my heart, but I had to love myself and be happy on my own before I could ever be happy by his side.”
“I got you Mama, thank you.”
“Now let’s go on and enjoy some of that cookout.”
I follow her outside in the backyard, grateful to have such strong women in my life that are always by my side. My heart breaks a little for Normani, and I can’t imagine a life where no one was there for me, looking out for me, helping me. Our family is made up of a lot of mixed blood and bringing her into this crazy bunch feels like another piece to our blended puzzle.

Bella
“You're leaving tomorrow, huh?” Damon asks as he drives down the road.
“Yeah. Florida for the week for practices then headin’ out.”
“Gonna miss me?”
“Oh, you needy man. Not even a little bit,” I smirk.
Damon laughs a
nd pulls into the parking lot of the batting cages.
“This is the ‘first’ you were talkin’ about? This ain't gonna be a first for either one of us Johnson, what are you playin’ at?”
He laughs again and parks the car turning to me.
