Irish grew quiet and reached into one of the backpacks and pulled out a packet of crisps and offered me some, but I declined and hugged my arms tighter around me.
“Shamrock used to be your dad’s right-hand man, but with your dad away working so often, and your mother being lonely, the two of them had an affair. Your dad was heartbroken when he found out. He loved your mother more than anything. So, when he told her to choose between him or Shamrock, your mother wasn’t able to choose, one morning, she overdosed…”
“My dad said she died of a heart attack,” I blurted out.
“That’s true, but it was a drug induced heart attack,” Irish muttered, “She couldn’t choose, so she committed suicide.”
Bile pushed up in my throat and I tried to keep myself calm, everything, my whole life was one big lie. I always thought my mother died of natural causes, that was what my dad always told me. He never once mentioned an affair, or insinuated that she didn’t want to live. A strangled cry escaped my throat as I stood up. I was surprised that I still had any tears left to cry. One blow after the other, my world was crashing down. I fled into the small tent and fell on top one of the sleeping bags. I didn’t hear Irish enter either, only when he rested his hand on the small of my back where I lay with my head buried in my arms did I realize he was here with me.
I shot up and sat on my knees looking straight at him with tears streaming down my face, “Why did he hide all of this from me?” I cried out angrily.
“He wanted to protect you.”
I went through the motions, from sadness to anger to disappointment and back to being sad, and as I balled my fists and pounded them against Irish’s chest. He just took it in stride.
“This isn’t what I wanted out of life! I wanted a normal life, go to college, become an accountant, do something extraordinary, but now it’s all lost!”
“I know lass, I know,” he soothed.
He didn’t stop my assault, only turned his face out of the way as he let me blow off steam. Eventually I slumped against him, burying my face in the crook of his neck. From the first day, Irish had been open and honest with me. Now, he was the one who decided to tell me the truth. My dad couldn’t even bring himself to do that. I felt robbed and deceived by my own blood.
Irish embraced me and hugged me close against him. His skin was warm in comparison to my own, and it felt somewhat comforting, having someone who would simply just hold me. With tear streaked cheeks I nestled closer against him, I could feel his breath in my hair and his hand sliding up my back until it rested between my shoulder blades.
“Irish,” I whispered, and then he pulled back a little, lifting my chin.
“I won’t let anyone hurt you lass,” he said with such compassion that made my insides melt.
“Hold me,” I said and then his lips brushed mine.
My mind was a mess, and here I was literally throwing myself at him, a distraction. That’s all it was, I needed a distraction, I told myself, as I willingly parted my lips for him. His rough beard scraped against my smooth skin and I heard him groan. He wanted me, and I liked it. For once I just didn’t want to think about the fact that I was a fugitive, or that my dad lied to me all these years. For once I didn’t want to be the prude virgin. What good would that do anyways? I would never again have a normal life, marry the man of my dreams or have a beautiful home with a white picket fence. This was all I had, this moment in time. I tentatively slipped my tongue into his mouth, testing the waters, and again he groaned, fisting my hair in his hand, while his other hand was slowly sliding down my side. His thumb grazed the side of my breast and a shiver of anticipation shot through me.
“Irish…” I whispered.
“Alana, are you sure?” he asked as he pressed his forehead against mine.
“You only live once,” I mumbled and kissed him again.
This time he lowered me to the sleeping bag and covered me with his body, I could feel his erection pushing against the apex of my thighs, and my own sex throbbed with need. Between the exhilarating feeling of desire and confusion, I had to admit one thing. I’ve never had sex, and if he found out, he would probably not touch me.
“Have you ever had sex before?” he asked as if he was able to read my mind.
“Yes,” I lied, “Once.”
He edged himself on to his elbow and studied me, “Once?”
I nodded and bit my lip, “At the party,” I lied again.
“Are you sure about that?” he asked raising a brow.
“Are you going to have sex with me or not?”
I wanted something to remember if shit went pear in the next few days, I couldn’t die a virgin. Irish may be much older than me, but he didn’t look it. He was a strong man who could give a twenty-one-year old a run for his money. Handsome with a mop of blonde hair that made him look younger too.
Irish studied me and a wicked smile played on his lips, “So if I touch you like this, you wouldn’t lose your mind and cum straight away?” he whispered as he moved one hand to flick my stiff nipple though the thin cotton of my vest. A tendril of excitement shot through me like a cord that was linked to every erogenous zone in my body. He kept teasing my nipple until he finally slid his hand under my top to cup my right beast.
“Ooh, well, you know, first time sex experiences aren’t as great as everyone says,” I muttered as my lids dragged open and closed.
“So, what was it, shag, bang thank you ma’am?” he asked.
I nodded. I wasn’t born under a rock, I often heard the girls at college talk about their sexual encounters, some more exciting than others, but so often they complained about the fact that the guy had no clue what he was doing. It was a matter of diving in, hump a lot and wham, done and dusted. But somehow I didn’t think Irish would be the type to just leave me unfinished.
“Do you trust me?” he asked as he looked at me.
“Do I have any reason not to trust you?” I challenged.
He smirked and shook his head, “No,” he simply answered.
“Then I trust you,” I said.
Irish pushed himself up on to his knees and reached over his head to pull his shirt off, my heart was doing somersaults in my chest. This time in the dim glow of the light that hung above us in the tent, I could take the time to admire the work of art that covered his chest. There was something about tattoos that totally got my heart racing. And on Irish it was an explosive combination.
His eyes roamed over my body from my lips down over my chest to my legs, it felt as if he was touching me although he wasn’t. The way he looked at me with such desire caused my body to break out in goose bumps.
“Take off your clothes,” he said, and I obeyed.
I sat up and slowly pulled my vest off, the cool night air assaulted my skin and my nipples hardened even more, at first I kept my arms crossed over my chest, but he gently pried them away.
“Don’t be shy lass, we’re both adults,” he whispered.
I recalled the receipts I found in the glove compartment on the first day, and for a second I hesitated, “How many women have you had sex with?”
“Too many to remember and even fewer I want to remember,” he said and reached for the front clasp of my bra, “You’re having second thoughts?”
“No, I just want to know,” I said embarrassed.
His lips curled into a smile and he stood up in a crouched position to take off his boots and his jeans, he was completely naked underneath and a breath caught in my throat.
“Your turn,’” he coaxed.
I bit my lip and I could feel the heat rush to my cheeks. I’ve seen him naked in all his glory but I’m sure his penis wasn’t as big as it was tonight.
“C-can I touch you?” I asked and swallowed at the dryness in my throat.
“Sweetheart you can do whatever you want.”
There was something wild about him that made me tremble with excitement, with shaking fingers I reached out and ran the tips of my fingers down his abs to the slight strip of hair above
his penis. I licked my lips and reached for his member, touching the mushroomed tip with my index finger, there was a drop of liquid on the tip, sticky and smooth. I held my breath, and he too inhaled sharply.
“Fuck,” he muttered under his breath as I wrapped my small hand around his very large stiff erection.
I was beside myself, it was like velvet steel and my brain could not string together a single thought.
“You’re killing me lass,” he muttered as he wrapped his hand around mine, “Stroke it, like this,” he said and moved my hand up and down his length.
“I’ve never touched a guy’s penis before,” I breathed.
He groaned and pushed me down onto my back, “It’s not a penis love, it’s a cock,”
I swallowed, “It sounds crude,” I said softly.
He smirked and then ran his hand down over my stomach to my sex, “Penis is a medical term, cock and pussy is downright sexual,” he said and slid one finger down between my folds, “And your pussy feels like butter, soft and slippery, Jesus you’re wet,” he muttered under his breath.
I moaned as he ran his finger down my pussy and into me. His finger was calloused and rough, and it felt too big to enter me. And just thinking of him having sex with me suddenly made me panic. He’ll most certainly shred me to bits if he had to make love to me now. No, no, this isn’t love making, this was pure unadulterated sex. My way to escape I told myself. Just because a man wants to fuck me, doesn’t mean he’s in love with me.
“Alana,” he whispered in my ear, and I felt a shiver run down my spine, “The things I want to do to you right now is driving me insane.”
What did that even mean? Take a leap; you only live once, the little devil on my shoulder whispered. No, he’ll ruin you for life, the angel said. You’ll be fine, I promise, the devil whispered again. I was having a full-on conversation with my alter egos and all I wanted was for the voices to shut up. I should tell him I haven’t had sex before, but before I could bring myself to speak; he flicked his thumb over my clitoris.
“Oh my god!” I cried out and bucked my hips.
“That’s it baby, just let it go,” he whispered, and he sounded very much like the little fiend who sat on my shoulder.
“I-I haven’t… oh my god!” I couldn’t even speak without gasping and moaning. It felt too good. The way he teased my flesh and caused my entire body to soar was impossible to ignore.
Then he did the most unexpected thing, he gripped my wrists and pinned them above me, using just one strong hand to keep them in place, I lay stretched out and exposed to him. I couldn’t quite see his face in the darkness, but I could see the smile that played on his lips. Behind him the flicker of the campfire danced against the tent.
“I don’t want to hurt you, so be honest with me, have you ever had sex before?” he asked. It was almost as if he wanted to give me a last chance to save my virginity.
I hesitated, and his gripped my wrists tighter. I could feel his cock press against the inside of my thigh. You only live once, that little voice sang in my head and I breathed, “I don’t want to die not knowing what it feels like,” I admitted in a shaky voice.
“You will not be dying yet sweetheart,” with that he covered my lips with his, the kiss was not endearing it was devouring. He reached for his backpack and pulled out an obvious square packet, ripped at it with his teeth and with one hand slipped the condom on. And when he moved into place, the tip of his cock pressed into me, slowly at first, forcing its way into me, he was larger than expected and I anticipated it to be painful but instead it was more euphoric than anything else I’ve ever experienced. He kicked his hips forward and thrusted deep into me. I cried out from a mixture of pain and pleasure as he entered me, again and again, his hips moving at a slow even pace. With his one hand around my wrists he levered himself up with the other. His muscles bulged as he carried his own weight, looking into my eyes with each stroke.
I was rendered speechless, with nothing but moans and whimpers escaping me, I closed my eyes, just letting the sensations wash over me.
“Look at me,” he grunted, “I want to see you cum.”
I forced my eyes open and his face was so close, so very close. I bent my knees and hooked one leg around his for support; I wanted him to go faster, harder. I’ve never felt such an exhilarating feeling of pleasure in my life.
“Tell me you want me to fuck you harder,” he breathed.
“Harder…” I whispered.
“Ask me to fuck you harder, I want to hear you say it,” he ground out.
“F-Fuck me harder,” I said barely audible.
“Again,” he grunted.
“Fuck me harder,” I said a little louder this time, and at the same time I felt my body tingle, “Oh god, yes, please… Irish, fuck me harder.”
Possessed by my inner minx obviously, I let go of my inhibitions and called out his name, begging him for more. I didn’t want him to stop, I want it to continue until this bad dream was completely over. But that was just my brain clinging to a farfetched hope of redemption. My body did the complete opposite. With each thrust of his cock deep into my pussy, hitting the bundle of nerves just below my cervix the tingle that started at the base of my spine ran up and down like a live electric current. The muscles in my legs started to spasm and so did my stomach; I couldn’t keep it together even if I wanted to, and from the sound of Irish’s groans, neither could he. He pulled out almost completely, let go of my wrists and plastered his other hand down on the ground next to me, half elevated he dipped his hips and drove deep and hard into me, and that’s when my world spun out of control.
“Ah fuck!” Irish called out as his hips jerked once, twice and then slammed deep into me and went still. I could feel his cock pulsing and throbbing against my walls, followed by a warm sensation flooding my pussy. He emptied himself completely before he pulled out and rolled on to his back.
“Jesus,” he muttered under his breath as he brought his hands to his face, and I laid there awkwardly wondering what to do next. The experience was probably the most amazing thing I’ve ever experienced, but I didn’t quite know what happens next.
“Irish?” I whispered as I turned on to my side.
Irish groaned and turned his head to look at me, then turned on his side and brushed strands of hair from my face, tucking it behind my ear, “Did I hurt you?”
“N-no, you didn’t,” I smiled softly at him.
“Your dad is going to kill me,” he said and then sat up pulling his pants on again as if nothing just happened.
I reached for my clothes and started to get dressed, “Well my dad isn’t here, is he?”
“Alana, I don’t want you to think I just used you, trust me, but I’m so much older than you, and I just don’t want you to get the wrong idea.”
So that’s it, he’s older than me, fucks me and then cops out? I tried suppressing the feeling of hurt that threatened to surface, and took a deep steady breath, “I’m not a kid Irish, I know exactly how men are and what they want. At the end I guess it’s my choice who I have sex with.”
I will not cry, I will not feel a thing. It was sex, and that was it, I told myself as I got dressed, barely sparing Irish a glance. With my back against him I asked, “So how old is much older?”
“Forty-two,” he said.
WTF, I thought he was in his thirties, “Oh, well if it helps you don’t look forty,” I mumbled and then crawled out of the tent. Irish never followed.
Irish
What the fuck just happened? I thought to myself as I flopped back down on the sleeping bag, wearing only my jeans. I just fucked Fergus’ daughter, who I might add, is only twenty years old, I’m fucking twice her age. Hell, I could be her dad for god sakes! Talk about a bloody lack in judgement. The worst is I would do it again and again. Having had her now, I realized that my desire for her is far from being satisfied. She haunted my mind all the fucking time and nothing I did or try could make it go away. Earlier when we were nearly caught
by the Bronx Raiders, I was terrified that I would lose her before I even got a chance to get to know her. Fergus did a good thing not getting her too involved with his life before now; otherwise every fucking prick on the staff would have wanted a piece of her. I stretched my hands back behind my head and stared up at the green canvas top above me. I could still feel my dick twitching in my pants, ready to go at it again and again. Her tight pussy was right outside this tent, but I’ve complicated shit enough to know better. Frustrated with myself I sat up and rubbed my hand over my face. My beard had grown and right now, I’m sure I looked my age despite what she said.
Through the opening in the tent I watched her; she was sitting by the fire, holding a stick in the coals. She didn’t look twenty, maybe twenty five. She was mature for her age, with curves in all the right places. Her red hair pinned on top of her head, reminded me of Celtic goddess, pure and untainted, until now anyway. Now she was brandished by me and I wasn’t proud of myself at all.
Somewhere between the Cabin and the Campsite I had fallen for her, and it was probably the worst mistake I could have made. All my life, I never once bothered to find love, to me it was just another way to add shackles and imprison a man. Women wanted dedication; they wanted you to sacrifice everything in the name of love. And after what had happened to Brianna, Fergus’ wife and Alana’s mother, I would never have considered putting my heart on the line like that. For me, going to night clubs and sex clubs was enough. Satisfy my body and mind and leave my heart out of it, but now I wasn’t so sure about that anymore. If anything had to happen to Alana, I would only have myself to blame.
I wondered what was going through her mind this very minute. She had been a virgin, and I was sure that she hadn’t planned on losing her virginity to a criminal, but yet she begged me to fuck her. She wanted me as much as I wanted her as much as I still wanted her.
A short while later, Alana came back into the tent, her skin glowed from the heat of the camp fire but her eyes were cold and distant.
“Everything okay?” I asked as I shifted up for her to lie down.
