“I may have rebelled against you, but I always thought of you as a role model. I want to consider you part of my family, but there’s no way that I can call you mother. That might change in the future, but for now I’d rather just continue to call you Helen. It’s not a sign of disrespect and I don’t want you to take it like that. I care for you deeply and love you more than I could ever say. You took me in when I was at the lowest point in my life and for that I can never repay you.” “I wasn’t expecting any of this. Having a good man in my life has taught me a valuable lesson. It gave me a perspective that showed me that Helen was only doing her best. It was all that I could hope for under the circumstances. I might have gone a little overboard, but I thank god that I didn’t have to essentially go through with it. I will gladly give the money back, but I get the feeling like he’s not going to let that happen.” They shared a moment and when they heard the shower turn off upstairs they knew that it was time to say goodbye.
“I will always be there for you, but I think that part of the problem was that I had never taken the time to smell the roses. You made me see that I was alive, but I really wasn’t living.” Helen knew that she would be back, but for now she needed to do this for herself. The taxi had been idling at the curve and for some reason she didn’t pay the fare and told them to wait. She dragged her one suitcase back to the taxi and heaved it into the trunk with the help of the driver. She took one last glance and saw Lynn touching her heart and she did the same as a form of saying I love you without having to say the words.
She felt like she was a victim of the night and seeing everything in the cold light of day was another matter altogether. She had woken up with that feeling that things had shifted. The proposal to join him on a family quest was not something that she was prepared for. She rummaged into the closet and found the necessary hiking birds.
She realized that she was wearing only a blanket that Helen had thrown over her to cover her shame. She raced upstairs to find the dripping presence of Mitchell standing there with his member swinging between his legs. “Don’t even think about it. If we continue looking at each other this way we’re never going to get out of the house. I don’t think either one of us would be complaining about that. I do feel that I need to show you this and maybe it’ll give you a better idea of who I am.” Mitchell put on the pair of pants that he had worn here last night. The room smelled like sex and the way that the sheets were torn asunder only showed just what kind of sexual acrobatics they had gotten into last night.
They were both staring at the bed and knew that it wouldn’t take much convincing to jump back between the sheets. In a moment of strength, Mitchell was able to turn her away from a possible repeat performance. “We can always come back to that later. Don’t look at it and it won’t have that power over you.” Mitchell heard the sigh of regret coming from Lynn’s lips. He kissed the back of her neck to see that her legs almost buckled out from underneath her.
They had breakfast and they continue to stare at each other like they were ready to throw the dishes to the floor in their haste to get to one another. They had a medley of fresh fruits and fried eggs over easy. They finally cleared the dishes and then got ready before leaving the house hand in hand. He lifted her into his truck and felt that this was better than anything that had even remotely made him happy. He wanted this intimacy to continue and he was ready to share a painful memory. The only way to get closure was to see it up close and personal.
“I know that what you did to announce your virginity to the neighborhood was a very poignant moment in your life. I want to show you the reason why I have never settled down. I wish that I could say that it was because I was looking for the right one. There’s no denying that I was engaged, but it never worked because I couldn’t be completely truthful with her. I think deep down I knew that I wasn’t in love and that there was no way that I could open up that wound.”
Chapter 7
Helen was behind him and looking at his ass in those jeans. She couldn’t help but to envision them coming down a little. When he bent over there was that telltale plumber’s crack. Thankfully, he was built in a way that made it easier to swallow. She wanted to reach out and trace the line down into the valley. She had seen his concentration and that faraway look told her that he was dealing with something that had no voice.
“I want to go on record to say that last night proved to me once and for all that I do have the capability to love. I thought that I lost that and you’re about to find out the reason why I’ve never let anybody get that close.” He didn’t know how to say the words and the best way to do this was to show her and hopefully the words that he was looking would miraculously come to him.
“The years go by too fast and we never know when our time is up. We gotta take time to enjoy life and not let petty differences to get in the way. I’m not going to pressure you and whether you tell me this secret or not is entirely up to you. I have to say that I find your willingness to share this with me enough to make me think that you might be more than the man that took my virginity.” “I thought that when we started this that I was too good for him. I see now that we were both lost and we needed each other to find our true selves. I feel different and I know that I’m never going to be able to look at him the same way again. I need him to see me as the future and not just the present.” She could hear the rushing of water and every step was making it louder by the second.
“I haven’t been here in over 20 years. My family used to come up here all the time for family outings.” He swallowed hard and knew that saying the words would be the hardest thing that he had ever done in his life. “There’s a rift between me and my parents. We are cordial enough during the holidays, but we’ve never been able to look at each other the same way again.” They came to a clearing and the water that they had heard was of a waterfall crashing down into a pool below. The outcroppings of rocks were not easy to traverse, but they managed to make it with a little help from a guiding hand.
Lynn was in awe and this was a hidden oasis away from the rest of the world. It was no wonder that they spent a lot of time here, but there had to be a reason for them to leave all of this behind. “I see the pain in his eyes and I only want to reach out to him to tell him that I’m here for him. Mitchell had helped me during a difficult time and I feel that I need to show that same thing in return. I trusted him with my virginity and now he’s trusting me with a very painful reminder of his past. Is this not what love is made of? I question if we have more here than meets the eye.” Lynn saw him sit down and place his hands over his face with only his eyes peeking through that of his fingers.
He looked towards the water and he saw that day as vivid as if it had happened yesterday. It killed him to think about this, but it was weighing him down and preventing him from finding any sort of substance within any relationship. “I never thought that I would be back here. 20 years ago I lost a part of my soul. My brother Kenneth and I were fooling around and he lost his footing. I watched…horrified as he plummeted from the top of the cliff. Had he landed in the water, he probably would have survived, but instead he crumpled against the rocks. I was stunned into silence and I heard the anguished cry of my mother and father as they were setting out a picnic for his birthday. I blame myself for him falling. I was the big brother and I should’ve been looking out for him.” Mitchell felt the tears fall down his cheek and then the comforting gesture of Lynn’s hands massaging his shoulders.
“That must’ve been awful for you and your family. You can’t blame yourself and it wasn’t like you pushed him. You were kids and you were acting like kids. There’s nothing that you could’ve done and the sooner that you put that to rest the better off you will be.” Lynn heard him sobbing and pushed his face up underneath her bosom. “I never knew that he was carrying this burden. I don’t think that anybody did. He always seemed so strong and confident, but it was always just a façade that he put on to please people. He doesn’t have to do that with me.”
&
nbsp; “I blame myself, because I told him that he was a chicken. I coerced him into joining me on top of that cliff. I could see that he was scared out of his mind, but I continued to needle him until he took the leap of faith. I should’ve been the one that fell and he had only begun his young life. I would give anything to go back and take his place. I know that I can’t and that forgiveness starts with me forgiving myself. People have been telling me that for as long as I can remember. I’ve never been able to see clear to do it. I have you to thank for letting me open up and tell you of my darkest day” Mitchell could hear her heartbeat and wrapping his arms around her gave him a comfort that came from knowing that she wasn’t condemning him for his actions.
They stood there together and eventually they began to shed their clothes. They were soon naked and then rushing into the water to frolic in the buff.
“This place might hold a terrible memory, but maybe we can make better memories that will overshadow that one.” They waded in the water up past their waist with the sun beaming through the trees like a blessing to their union. “I love this place and will not let you wallow in some kind of depression. This place is something that should never leave you with feelings of regret and loss. You should always celebrate Kenneth’s life.” “I can feel his cock nudging between my legs. He’s rubbing against the lips and I know that all I will have to do is hook my leg and wrap it around him. I see no reason to wait around and this will prove to him once and for all that this place should have no power over him.”
Mitchell felt the heat of her hole and despite those painful memories; his cock began to emerge like a periscope over the surface of the water. She grabbed him and he could feel that moment of indecision was over. He abruptly grabbed her by the hips and lowered himself to a crouching position with his cock poised and ready to pierce her womanhood. He didn’t get a chance. Her smile informed him that she was up to no good. She took a deep breath and in that moment he realized just what exactly he was in for.
Lynn dove down under the water, holding her breath and then opening her mouth over the tip of his cock. There was already that salty flavor and she was more than happy to coax more from the cavity of those balls. “I’ve never done this before. I thought about it several times, but I’ve never been in a position where I was willing to try it on anyone. Mitchell is not just anyone.” She bobbed her head back and forth until she had no choice but to surface to catch a breath of air.
His face had this beaming smile as he lifted her and let the buoyancy of her body float on the water surface. Her legs wrapped around him and his cock soon found its way into the gripping vise of her sex. “Being this close to you means more to me than you can ever know. I have been secretly wealthy for a long time without anybody’s knowledge. I’ve invested wisely, but my biggest investment of all was letting you into my life.” He was buried deep and there was something magical in the air. He looked up for a moment and he thought he saw his younger brother giving him a salute from the top of the rocks. He blinked and then he was gone. It was almost like he was given his life back.
“You captured my heart and it doesn’t hurt that you have a tight little body. I love that you have more to offer than the average woman. You wear your weight well and I have to say that most of it situates nicely with your breasts and your ample heart shaped ass. You want me to fuck you. I can see it in your eyes, but I want to hear it. Tell me and anybody else that can hear your voice that my cock is everything that you want.” He saw her lips part and was waiting for that moment where she was never going to be able to hide her feelings again.
“I have your cock and your heart. What more can a woman… ask for. I do want you to fuck me and make love to me underneath the sun and in this water. My wet pussy hungers for your meat and my body begs you to make it cum over and over again. Fuck me… Fuck me… make my wet pussy sing your name. Never will I have another man’s name on my lips. Never will I have another cock that even comes close to what you give to me every day.” “My massive thighs clinch him and I make sure that he’s not going to try to escape the imprisonment of my greedy little hole.”
Mitchell had his hands under her, squeezing her pliable flesh and watching her scream to the heavens. It was enough to bring about his impending climax. He held back, keeping it to himself, until it was going to come out one way or the other. “I fucking love everything about you. Your pussy is grabbing me and you know that…that… it’s about that time… YES.” He went into high gear, slamming it against her with such fervor that the water around them churned in response to their heavy handed lovemaking. “I won’t be able to…keep this up. You are the one that is going to have to finally turn the switch. Pull my fucking nipples…do it and I promise that you will not be disappointed… HOLY FUCKKKKKK.” He let his passion ignite from her fingers plucking at those buds. That action had certainly had the desired effect. He let go with an onrush of emotions with his seed traveling very quickly up the shaft and out through the opening at the head.
“Yes… Yes… Yes… Mitchell… Mitchell… Mitchell.” She couldn’t help herself and she didn’t care that they were in a semi public place. They were away from prying eyes, but this was the first time that she had ever taken this kind of risk. She felt dirty and exposed and loved every minute of it.
“I can honestly say that you took my breath away literally and figuratively. You’re a woman with your own mind and a body that just won’t quit. I think by taking your virginity that I have created a monster. I guess there’s no way to put the genie back in the bottle after what we did last night and here today. I have to say that after everything is said and done that I find myself looking at this place differently. I no longer look at it as a bane of my existence. I see it more as a new beginning. I can forgive myself and I’m glad that you came into my life to show me that I didn’t have to live with his haunted face every night when I went to sleep.” Mitchell took her by the hand and they walked out of the water, until they were standing dripping in front of each other.
“We had a lot to deal with, but amazingly we have come out on the other side unscathed. We might be a little older and wiser, but at least we understand that what we’re looking for was not unattainable. We just had to be patient and wait for that right moment to strike. When I’m with you, there is no place that I would rather be. When I’m apart from you I yearn for the moment that I see your face again.” “I look at his body and I have to say that I am a very lucky girl. I don’t feel self conscious about my weight. I think I try to hide it with bulky sweaters, but with him I don’t feel it’s necessary to put on any airs. I can be myself and I don’t have to worry about making him see me as anything more than what I am.”
They embraced afterwards. They were lying in each other’s arms and looking at each other. They didn’t have to say the words and their expression said that they were never going to be separated from one another. Half the money was in her account and the other half was earmarked to go into her account tomorrow morning. She didn’t care about any of that. He had mentioned something about Barbados and before they knew if they were flying to their secret love nest in the tropics.
Helen would eventually visit and find out that she was with child. They had that in common and that was something that they could share. Helen had found an unexpected treat with a Jamaican flair and they had this interracial romance. It was going to be a very interesting extended family, but the one thing that their life was never going to be was boring.
THE END
POSSESSED BY HIGHLANDER
Chapter 1
Caitlin stands ready to spar with her best friend Kelvin. They’ve known each other all their lives, but they have never gone beyond the friendship that they have formed. They came close several times, but there was something holding them back. They talked about it at length and they came to the conclusion that they would be ruining what they already had for something that was most likely fleeting.
“I hope that you are ready for this little one. I’m th
rough playing with kid gloves. We’ve been doing this dance for a long time and I’ve been holding back in hopes of not hurting you. I’ve seen some remarkable progress and you have a real knack of predicting somebody’s moves. You also have this uncanny ability of using a man’s obvious weight advantage against him.” Kelvin could never get over his infatuation of Caitlin. He wanted, so much more, but he knew the writing on the wall. They were friends and that was all that they were going to be. He accepted that and was glad to still have her in his life.
“I’m ready for whatever you have to dish out. I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again that I’m not very happy with the way that my people are treating me. I want to be in the thick of things, battling beside them, until there is blood soaking into the ground. I want to stand victorious with my sword raised in the air with the rest of the warriors.” “I’ve known for quite some time that he has been holding back, but I was afraid of what would happen if I allowed him to unleash the full force of his skills. I wanted to be one of those that are able to stand and tell their stories of battling to the finish. I look at Kelvin and I see that he’s grown into quite the specimen of man.”
“You claim that you are better than most men and I am inclined to believe you little one.” He had always called her that from the moment that they met when they were children. He could never get out of the habit, having no idea that Caitlin liked the idea that he found her to be pure, as the driven snow. His moniker of little one was meant as a compliment. He had no idea how close to the truth he was. Nobody really knew what lie underneath the bosom of a woman the looked like you could break her into a million pieces. “I’m through giving you lessons. It’s time that we put this to the test.” Kelvin had on his family colors of a red and black tartan. He also had the crest of the wolf head in gold around his waist.
