Fire & Flesh

by Kerri Carr

  She nodded in excitement, feeling happy about the truth of the situation. She then moved closer, letting her lips lightly graze over the tip of his own. This time though, it didn’t feel like some little chaste thing. In truth, she wanted to make Cody happy. She hadn’t felt this strongly over a guy before, and in truth she never thought that she would feel this way. But, as she looked over the other man and let her lips graze over his own, the feeling of love and happiness that was coursing over her was only making everything better. They would make it, and they would make everything better, and as soon as they started to kiss again, she felt the happiness within her start to rush over, and she knew for a fact that she could protect this man.

  The kiss wasn’t as chaste as the last time, not that they expected it to be. Scarlet felt the need for this man, the raw, passionate need that was unlike anything she had felt in the past. She started to kiss him deeper, letting her mouth roll over his own, and suddenly, she felt something that she hadn’t in the past. His tongue started to snake out, lingering over her own mouth. She let him in, and suddenly, she felt the mixture of their two muscles as they grazed and touched over one another. It was magical, almost like a miracle, and for her, she wanted nothing more than to stay like this forever.

  Cody’s tongue then started to explore her mouth, moving in small circles and touches against her own and making her feel something stronger than ever before. She then started to move her tongue up against his own, and when she did that, the two of them moaned against one another. They could taste the Indian curry they had earlier, but for Scarlet, it didn’t really matter. It felt so right, so real, and the pleasure was all hers.

  The she was grasped by him, his strong arms lifting her into them. He carried her out of the living room, and when he got to the hallway, she motioned to the left where the bedroom was. When he got there, he laid her down like a princess and started to make out with her once again, letting his tongue collide over her own and his body hovering over hers. She could feel his cock growing hard against her body, and the sensation felt so different from what she was used to, but at the same time she enjoyed it.

  He continued to kiss her with no stopping, and suddenly, he started to pull away. She immediately communicated to him with her eyes that she was a virgin, and he seemed to implicitly understand that, moving his lips downward and lightly moving them against the tip of her neck. He rolled his tongue over the soft flesh, his teeth grazing over her muscles there and lightly sucking on the soft spot that she loved immediately. She bucked her hips, grazing over his hardness suddenly. She blushed, realizing what she was doing, but at the same time not stopping. It felt so good, so right, and as he continued to do this, she felt like she was in a sort of heaven that even she wasn’t used to.

  Suddenly, when he got to her collarbone, he pushed her shirt off against the area for but a moment, placing a small kiss and nibble there. It was the first mark he had ever given her, and for Scarlet, it both hurt but also felt so good. She loved this, her body wanting more of this man and her pussy craving more of his touch. He continued this while he skillfully moved his hands over her blouse, undoing the buttons and pulling them off. He also did away with the polo he was wearing, exposing his muscular, taut chest for her to see.

  He looked even more gorgeous in person, and for a moment, she felt like she was almost unworthy of all of this. For them this was so perfect, so right, and as he started to move his lips down her body, right over her soft breasts, she wondered how in the world it all ended up like this. How did she get to have this man? How in the world did she even get to have these feelings period? It felt so good, so right, and in truth, she wanted nothing more than this.

  That’s when his hands grazed right over the back of her bra, moving towards the clasp and undoing it while he peppered her chest with soft, tangible kisses that felt like a sort of awakening to her. He then pulled back, slipping the garment off her body, and that’s when she looked up at him, with wonder and shock present in her eyes.

  “Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked.

  “Yes. I do,” she said, the sureness apparent in her eyes.

  Sure, she was a virgin, but what she didn’t know was that Cody actually never gotten that far with a woman either. He said that he had done things with girls before, but it was mostly heavy petting and fingering. He had never put himself into another woman, because he didn’t want to get attached to them, only to have them hurt him later on. It sounded like a dumb reason to many people, but to Cody, it seemed right. But tonight, he was happy that he brought a condom, and Scarlet was happy that she got on the pill recently, because it would make this moment not only safer, but a lot more meaningful to both of them as well.

  What he didn’t know, was that Scarlet had never shown herself like this. When he took her bra off, her hands jumped up to her breasts, covering them softly. He then clicked his tongue, looking at her with a smile.

  “You don’t have to hide yourself, you know. I mean, I want to see you like this. You don’t have to feel weird around me,” he told her with a grin.

  She then nodded, feeling sure of herself and happy with the way everything was going. She then moved her arms a tiny bit, exposing her orbs for him to see. They were decently-sized perfect for her body, and soon, his lips moved against the tip of her nipple, lightly flicking his tongue over it. She let out a moan, bucking her hips in wanton need and pleasure as he did this. He continued to lap at the bud like a cat, and for her, she felt like she was in a sort of heaven that only he was able to provide for her.

  He then started to let his lips sink against the edge of the other nipple, sucking on the flesh there. She moaned bucking her hips in wanton need and excitement, her body aching for more from him. He then started to suck on it a bit more, his body loving the way that she reacted to the light touch. She was moaning, the delicious sounds better than anything he expected to hear from her.

  His other hand moved to the other erect bud, seeing that it was hard with need and pleasure. His hands then started to work that one, and for Scarlet, she could already feel the pleasure overcoming her body, making her feel something that even she wasn’t used to. He continued this for a bit, letting himself tease and caress over the soft flesh for but a little bit before he pulled away, kissing down her body to the edge of her jeans.

  He slipped his hands to the button on the waistband, looking at her with a longing glance. She then nodded, realizing how she was sealing her fate with him, and suddenly, he started to move his hands to the button, popping it and pulling the zipper off of her pants, exposing her small pair of black panties. He ran his finger over the front of them, lightly teasing her clit for but a moment. The result was obvious as she let out a series of garbled moans and praising sounds of need.

  He then pulled his hand away, reaching towards the sides of the panties and slipping them off of her. Soon, her naked pussy was exposed for him to see, and for a moment, she wondered what was going to happen next.

  Her pussy was nicely trimmed, and he could see the small glistening need that was pent within her area. He then started to let his fingers graze over the edge of her clit, rubbing against the sensitive bundle of nerves. She cried out, feeling her body tense up and her pussy throb with need as he continued to do this, and then suddenly, he pulled back, lightly licking his finger for but a moment and then turning to her with a glance.

  She nodded, tacitly agreeing to what was going to come next. She shivered with anticipation as he started to pull his pants off, exposing his hard cock for her to see. It was throbbing with need, his body aching for her, and for Scarlet, she felt nervous for the first time ever.

  “I’ll be gentle. It’s my first time too,” he told her.

  She couldn’t believe it, but then he started to spread her legs apart. He looked at her with a smile on his face, sliding the tip of his sheathed cock into her and looking at her to see any signs of pain.

  Surprisingly, it wasn’t as bad as she thought it was going
to be. He pushed himself into her, and then suddenly, he stayed like that for but a moment, getting used to the feeling that he got. Then, he started to rock his hips back and forth, and she let out a small whimper as he broke her virginity.

  He started to move in and out of her at a slow, even pace, and then suddenly, he started to take it a little bit faster. She then started to groan, feeling her body tense up as he continued to move himself in and out of her with want and need. She definitely started to feel like she was getting close, and for Cody, he was close as well. It was his first time, so he wasn’t expecting to last forever or anything.

  After a couple of thrusts, they both cried out, with her pussy tightening around him and his cock throbbing within her. They let out a series of small grunts and moans together, basking in the release that they had at the exact same time. For Scarlet, it felt like heaven, and in truth she thought that this was a sort of paradise for her. It was definitely a good thing, a very good thing that she wanted to continue to have with him.

  After he finished up, he pulled out and disposed of the condom. He turned to her, looking at her with a small, wry glance.

  “Did you enjoy that?” he asked.

  “Yes. I would love to do it again. I love you Cody, and no matter what in the world happens next, we’ll take this on together, and we’ll make everything go right,” she told him.

  He planted a small, loving kiss against her lips, pulling back and smiling.

  “I’m sure we will. There is no way those guys will be getting away with it,” he said.

  The two of them curled up in each other’s arms, and for a moment, they slept with a blissful feeling as the other person laid next to them. For Scarlet, she would do whatever it took to have this justice served to that rival team. There was no way that he was going to get away with this. With everything that was happening, Scarlet knew what she would have to do, and she knew that she would do the right thing, which was to protect Cody at all times no matter what the odds were.

  *****

  For both of them, they knew that it was going to be hard to get everything settled out. However, Scarlet didn’t know how hard it would be to get this mess squared away.

  The first thing she would do is to use her investigative journalism skills to get into the office. She slithered into there, getting past some of the meatheads who would probably ask her what she was doing there because she wasn’t a player nor was she staff, but in truth she didn’t care. She wandered down the hall, looking for the coach’s office. When she got there, she stepped inside, and when she did so, the coach looked at her with a funny glance.

  “May I help you?” he asked.

  “Yes, I need to know which locker belongs to Kenneth. I have an important message for him,” she said.

  The coach frowned, trying to determine whether her actions were genuine or not, and for Scarlet, it was easy to feign a smile.

  “Number 25. I can give it to him if you want,” he said.

  “Nah, it’s okay. It’s better if I give it to him personally. Thank you,” she replied with a smile.

  The coach looked at her funny as she walked out. She moved towards the men’s locker room, grabbing the wig from her bag and throwing it onto her head. She was wearing a pair of basketball shorts and a shirt underneath to help her look boyish, and after the coast was clear, she went in and changed.

  It smelled, but that wasn’t what she was worried about. She got to locker 25, and the first thing that she noticed was the fact that he didn’t seem to give a flying fuck about leaving his locker closed or not. She looked at the door, not seeing a lock on it, and immediately, she opened it without any struggle. In there was the image, along with the SD card with the rest of the pictures on it.

  “Bingo,” she whispered to herself. She was happy that she knew some basic photography and other skills too. She grasped everything that she could, shutting the locker and looking towards the doorway. Unfortunately, as soon as she was about to leave, she heard the chuckling of players.

  “Yeah dude, that pass was sick. But we’ll be able to use that against the team on Friday. I hope I can beat Cody,” one of the players said.

  “Oh, he’ll probably end up being sick or something. I doubt he’ll be able to show up and beat us,” Kenneth replied.

  The guys started to chatter, and immediately Scarlet knew she had to get out of here. She went to the bathroom, hiding in the stall in there in hopes that nobody would come and see her.

  The guys continued to talk in the locker room, all of them speaking as animatedly as possible. She could feel a couple of them getting close, but none of them broke her cover. After what seemed to be forever, they whizzed out of there, and she sighed in relief. She rushed out of there, moving swiftly past the coach and back to her car. At the end of the hall though, she could hear one scream, and after a moment or so, she couldn’t help but laugh.

  “Hey, where are the pictures?” Kenneth said.

  So that was the bastard who blackmailed Cody. She was happy she knew who it was now. When she got back to her house, she called Cody, and after two rings she spoke.

  “I got the evidence. I saw Kenneth too. What a pathetic man,” she said.

  “Thank you Scarlet. I really do appreciate it,” he said.

  They hung up, and she knew that the only thing that could happen now was the game, and it would be something amazing.

  That Friday night, Scarlet got there early, sitting in the front row and looking out. All of the other guys were there, and she could see the rival team hovering around there as well, each of them looking at the entryway for Cody.

  “I bet he won’t even show up,” Kenneth said.

  She looked at them, wondering if there was anything that she could do. The only thing that she could accomplish right now, was to wait and see.

  The time was ticking, and it was getting closer and closer to the game time, and for Scarlet, even she was starting to get worried. Cody hadn’t appeared yet, and she could already tell that it was going to be hard for her to keep herself together if he doesn’t show up. She knew that he was safe for now, his secret with her, but at the same time even she didn’t know if Kenneth had anything up his sleeve. She really didn’t know, and she could see the haughty look on his face.

  “See? Told you he wouldn’t show,” Kenneth told the other guys.

  They were all jeering, happy that Cody still wasn’t there, but she could feel the worry rushing over her.

  “Come on Cody. You’ve got this,” she muttered to herself.

  About a minute before the game, when she thought that it was all lost, she saw something, and when it appeared, she immediately knew that this was it. She saw someone walk out from the other side of the stadium, and when she did see it, she immediately looked shocked.

  It was Cody. He seemed to be a bit worried, but she could see the fire in his eyes. The determination within them was enough to cut something like a knife. The other players looked at Cody with shock on their faces, but not as much shock as Kenneth himself. Kenneth looked at Cody, unsure of what to say, but he just looked at him with a garbled expression of wonder.

  “But how? You knew what was coming! I’ll still expose you,” the man said.

  “Good luck with that. I know all about it. I know all about what you’ve done, and I’ve been able to prepare for it,” he told the other man.

  Kenneth looked around, and immediately Scarlet smiled waving at him. She then showed the folder where the pictures were, and he growled with annoyance.

  “You bastard,” the man said with a spit.

  “Hey, play fairly next time and don’t make me have to use my girlfriend to get the pictures. If you do just that, you’ll have a much better time eventually,” he told them.

  The other players watched as Cody went over to the other side, and Scarlet breathed a sigh of relief. It was nice to know that they would still have a chance of winning, and suddenly, the game was about to start.

  It was a rough game, and
even she could see it. The fact that his plans were foiled said a lot to Kenneth, and the hatred in his eyes was glowering all over the court. But Cody looked different, and for Scarlet, she could see the different person in front of her. The fire in his eyes and in his soul, the determined feeling that he had because of all of this, all of that was something special to her, and she knew that he would win. It was obvious that he would, because if he wasn’t they wouldn’t have put as much of an effort forward to thwart the plans that they had.

  The game started to get brutal from the start, with interceptions happening left and right, and Kenneth playing with anger as his fuel. Cody kept a level head though, and despite all that had happened and all of the bullshit that had gone down before the game, he was smart about not letting it get the best of him. The two of them played in a fiery manner, and for Scarlet, she felt like she was seeing two rivals finally get the showdown that they needed.

  But Scarlet could see after the second quarter that this game was far from over. Cody’s team was winning, but it was a game that kept going back and forth. Right now, it was anyone’s game, and this would be the championship that would determine it all. It was going to determine it, and when the fourth quarter hit, with very little time left, she could practically feel the tension throughout the stadium.

  That’s when it happened. They were tied, with only about ten seconds left, and Cody had the ball. There was no way he could make a layup in time to win, and it was heavily guarded. But, he had another idea, and that’s when he did it. He got to the threw-point line, jumping ahead of the other players, grasping the ball and dunking it. When the buzzer hit, the ball fell in, marking the lead they got and winning the game.
