We were soon laughing and rolling around on the lawn, and I realized that she was flawless in her technique, here, with just the two of us.
Which meant she was either nervous about performing in front of an audience, or someone or something was making her that way.
I promised myself to bring it up with coach the first chance I get, but I’ll have to work on Cass a little more.
Maggie came out and joined us and soon the three of us were grass stained and sweaty, lying out in the sun.
She seemed different here, more relaxed and I was happy I could give her this.
***
Pretty soon it was time for the others to show up and they came together of course, since Tammy drove Belle everywhere.
“You’re here, let’s get this party started.” After all the hellos had been said the four of us trudged up the stairs.
Mom in all her wisdom had allowed Maggie to go to a sleepover at one of her new friends’ house, thus leaving me brat free. The girl has been known to crash many a sleepover party in the past.
Speaking of which. “Belle have you and my brother been talking?” Her guilty blush was answer enough and the rest of us were soon pouncing on her for details.
“It’s not like that, we’re just…friends.”
“Oh no I don’t think so, spill it girly you like him, spill.” The night started off with talk of boys and who was hot and who wasn’t. Funnily enough no one talked about school and what was going on there.
I finally got Belle to admit that there was something there with her and Jared, though she wasn’t yet quite sure what.
And Tammy admitted that she was crazy about Shane, like that was a mystery.
“So now we jut have to find our little Cass a playmate.” She threw a pillow at me and flashed her braces.
That was the first time we discussed what our parents did for a living.
I knew about Tammy’s dad because he taught one of my classes, but I had no idea that Belle’s dad was like the leading stunt man in Hollywood, and her mother was an agent to a few well-known stars.
But the biggest surprise was Cassandra, whose dad was a very famous director and her mom had once been a model, who had chosen to be a stay at home mom after she started having kids. Wow.
Jared only tried to breach the inner sanctum once, but he was banished before he even got his foot in the door.
I didn’t miss the look that passed between he and Belle though, and went on to tease her mercilessly about her swinging dick comment the first day we met.
Had that only been a few weeks ago? So much had happened so quickly it was unreal.

“You sure they’re doing that bro?” I listened to Jared on the other line and wasn’t sure if I should laugh or be angry.
I kinda expected it though, the last two days she’s been showing me in her own way that she was no pushover.
Not that I wanted her to be, but I needed her to understand that there were certain boundaries that she dare not cross.
There was some shit going on here that even I didn’t understand fully. Like this need to have her near me at all times, it was fucked.
Now I find myself watching mom and dad more intently. Studying his moves, and I’d be damned if he isn’t doing the same thing.
I never really paid much attention before, always took it for granted I guess. But my dad hovered over my mom like an avenging sentinel and she just flourished under all that attention.
Shit, she still blushed when he whispered in her ear, which on a side note is gross, but which I also have come to learn is beautiful.
I guess that saying ‘unless you walk a mile in my shoes you wouldn’t understand’ is on point.
“They left already?”
“Yep, I’m watching the car sneak down the drive with the lights off. Mom and dad are sleeping already so she’s safe there.”
She might be safe there but her little ass wasn’t safe from me. It’s a good thing I’d asked her brother to keep an eye out.
I’d planned on crashing her little get together, but she had conned her parents into making Jared go out tonight instead of inviting us over.
We’d hung out for a little bit at the Vista Lanes and then had dinner at this out of the way shack that served twenty dollar lamb burgers, but the shit was so worth it.
Then I’d told the boys to be on call because there was a fifty-fifty chance that the girls will be doing some dumb shit before the night was over.
“Meet me at the place.” I called Shane because he’d said he wanted in and then I had to call a few of the others because they were there when we were discussing this shit and wanted in.
The guys thought we should scare the crap out of them, but I had other ideas. Midnight, and she snuck out of her parents’ house? She had no idea what she’d set herself up for.

“Wheee, we’re free.” I sped the car up a notch once we cleared my driveway.
It’s the first time I’d done anything this brazen and I can’t believe I’d actually gotten away with it.
After Belle had sworn that she was over her fear of what she now called the nonexistent ghost, I’d talked the others into going along with my plan
I wasn’t really expecting to see a ghost, but I just thought it would be something fun to do since Belle and Tammy didn’t seem to have had much of a childhood.
I mean I’ve never done anything this bold before, but my girls and I used to get up to all kinds of stuff back home.
These girls needed to live a little; they’ve been living under the shadow of the mean girls for way too long.
“Come on Belle take the wheel.”
“Are you insane, why do you think I have to be driven everywhere? I can’t drive worth shit.”
We all had a good laugh at that one and then the dares started.
Pretty soon Belle had her head out the sunroof and Tammy and Cassandra were leaning out the windows, hands outstretched as they yelled into the night.
I was laughing so hard at their antics that I almost had to pull over.
“Okay girls let’s go get ourselves a ghost sighting. Cass you have the camera ready?”
“Oh crap.” Belle dropped back into her seat and covered her face. “Come on Belle there’s nothing to be afraid of.” I slowed to a crawl.
“If you’re really freaked out I’ll turn back.”
“No, no, I can do this, there’s no such thing as ghost.” She gulped and even in the moonlight I could see that she was paler.
“No I’m turning around.”
“Don’t you dare, it’s time I stopped believing that stupid legend anyway.”
I eyed her to make sure she was really okay and then floored it. My heart started to race the faster I went and I had one second to question the stupidity of what I was doing as the speedometer rose to ninety.
“Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. That does not look like a ghost.” No, what it looked like was Jace, Jared and their pals.
They were lined off in the street with their cars behind them, just casually lounging as if waiting patiently for us to show up.
I stepped on the brakes and gave some serious thought to reversing. That idea got nixed real quick when Jace broke away and started walking towards us.
“Oh boy Sian, he looks steamed.”
“Uh-huh.” My voice was barely more than a whisper as I watched him and then my brother the snitch following.
He came over and opened my door.
“Out.” I looked at Belle in the passenger seat but she had her own thing going on with my brother and was no help. Maybe I can play this off.
“Hey Jace fancy seeing you here.” Oh damn. He pulled me out the car and then stuck his head inside.
“Drive and follow me Tammy.” He pulled me over to the phantom and all but threw me into the seat before buckling me in.
The others got into their rides and we were soon leading a cavalcad
e down to the beach.
The others pretty much parked the same place, but Jace kept going. Until we were separated by a wall and what looked like mini sea grape trees.
He probably needed privacy to kill me. “Jace…”
Chapter 7
JACE
“Is there something wrong with your hearing babe?”
“Come on Jace it was just a silly midnight drive, no one was hurt and we were gonna head right back.”
“You’re doing it again so I can only assume the answer is yes.” She looked at me like she had no clue what I was saying.
“When I talk, do you understand the words I say or do you need a fucking interpreter? Which part of do not go joyriding was too confusing for you to grasp?”
“Hey, lighten up would you? You’re not my dad you know, and what’s with the swearing? Where is it written that I have to do everything you say anyway?
Do you realize that in the last two weeks you’ve been ordering me around like a drill sergeant?”
I let her rant and rave until she wound down a bit. “You done?” She rolled her eyes and huffed, I’d seen that female move before; it didn’t phase me.
“Let’s get some things straight so that there are no future misunderstandings. I don’t know what kind of relationships you’ve seen, from what I can see of your parents’ relationship, they seem to have their shit together.
I have no idea what you had in mind for when you started dating, but I can promise you that it was nothing like what this is going to be.
Pay attention Sian because we both know I’m not fond of repeating myself. If I say don’t fucking do something you don’t do it no discussion.
Do you know this town?” I waited for her headshake.
“I do, I was born and raised here, so if I tell you not to do something here, there must be a good fucking reason for it.
Did you know about all the kids that lost their lives pulling that stupid ass stunt you just pulled?
I see that got your attention. You don’t fucking go where I tell you not to, this was stupid and dangerous and you put not only yourself but your friends in danger.”
She started to tear up and her little mouth trembled as she hung her head. I felt like an old man, getting in the way of a youngster having fun. Damn.
“Come ‘ere.” I pulled her across the seat and into my arms. “Babe, bear with me here okay; I’ve never had anyone of my own before, not someone that I knew in my core was my life.
My parents especially my dad, has been preparing me for this my whole life. He says that a man’s wife is his greatest asset.
That when a man finds that one woman that he wants to roll over next to everyday for the rest of his life, he takes care of her, that includes protecting her in all ways.
Forget all the glitz and glamor, all the money and fancy cars. Even the poorest man when he finds true love is richer than the man without it.
That’s not something I scoff at babe, in fact the only thing I take as seriously as that is the game. They’re the two things in my life that I want to hold onto.
Do you know what he said to me the other night when I came back from taking you home? He said congratulations son, looks like you found your one a little earlier than the other men in the family did, but that doesn’t make it any less real.
Honestly, that shit scared the hell out of me for a good five minutes.
But after I got over the worry of how the fuck I was going to fill the shoes he’s been fitting me for since I was old enough to understand, I thought of everything he’d taught me over the years, all that I’d seen.
I want this, whether we’re too young or not, I want it all with you. But if we’re gonna make this work, and you don’t have any other choice really; you’re gonna have to get your shit together babe. Let’s go.”
I got out and helped her out behind me keeping hold of her hand.

The night was cool as was to be expected and the air smelt sea fresh. It was my first time really seeing an actual ocean up close but somehow I didn’t think that that’s why we were here.
I could barely make out the slight drone of the others as their voices carried on the breeze, as he pulled me around to the front of the car.
“Did you hear everything I just said?” He came in real close and I held my breath. A menacing Jace Saunders was kinda hot.
“Yes I did, though I don’t think I agree with all of it.”
“That’s okay you don’t have to, all you have to do is do as I say and we’ll be just fine.” I opened my mouth to argue with him but he out maneuvered me.
His mouth came down on mine and swallowed up whatever I was about to say, which two seconds after his tongue touched mine I’d forgotten anyway.
I love the way he holds me like he’d never let go. His hugs, his nearness, make me lose control of my senses, and all my good intentions go out the window.
He didn’t stop kissing me when he pulled my dress top down and pushed my bra aside to release my breasts to the cooling night air.
His mouth left mine long enough to take one of my nipples into his mouth. We’d never gone this far and I couldn’t help but wonder if we were gonna go all the way.
My heart was in my lungs and my body was on fire. Could I say no if he wanted to? Did I want to say no?
In that moment I wasn’t sure of anything, other than that his mouth on my nipple was the best damn feeling I’ve ever had in my life.
I moaned out loud in protest when he pulled away but soon changed to a sigh of pleasure when he lifted his shirt over his head. Oh shit.
Chapter 8

“Oh shit, why do you have a tattoo?” She ran her hands all over my shoulder where I was inked.
She bit her lip and moaned or groaned I’m not sure which. I couldn’t hold back the laughter as she glared at me like I’d done something.
“What’s the matter?”
“How long did you have this tattoo?” She trailed one finger around the team number I had tattooed on my shoulder as she looked at me suspiciously.
I’m not quite sure what that was about but then again I’m not surprised, the women in my life are destined to make me nuts.
“Over a year why?”
“No reason, it’s just, I have a thing about tattoos.” From the way she said it while rubbing her thighs together, I knew the ‘thing’ wasn’t bad.
“Do tell.” I went back to nibbling on her neck while palming her breasts in my hands. I knew they were going to be spectacular, but had no idea they would be this perfect; like the rest of her.
She let me know that she wanted my mouth again by pulling my head right where she needed me. I licked her hardened nipple before nipping it with my teeth, which made her cry out, and push herself harder against me.
I let my hand roam down her body until I was touching her center through her clothes. She tensed up a little before relaxing into my chest.
“Sian baby, don’t be nervous. I’m not going to hurt you.” I picked her up and sat her on the edge of the car and gave her some time to adjust, get used to what was coming next.
I pulled her panties slowly down her legs, keeping my eyes on hers, gauging her level of anxiety.
She trembled slightly under my hands as I caressed her sides, but there was no fear in her eyes.
I spread her thighs and kept them open with my hands on her knees, then, very slowly, I trailed the fingers of one hand up her thigh until I reached her heat.
My little virgin was already wet when I slid my finger inside her. She made those sexy little sounds that make my cock throb and then she tried to climb me.
I fought the urge to unzip and slam into her as hard as I could. Her body moved beneath mine as she pulled me on top of her.
I must really be in love, because I didn’t once think of the damage we could be doing to my car.
“Sian, as much as I know you love this car, I’m not about to fuck you for t
he first time on it. But as part of your punishment for disobeying a direct order, I will eat your little pussy right here out in the open.” With that I buried my head between her thighs.
Her taste fuck me; so sweet. How did I know she would taste like this? I took my time and licked around her center, flicking her clit with the tip of my tongue.
Her fingers dug into my scalp as I pulled her ass closer, sending my tongue deeper into her heat.
I felt her maidenhead against my tongue and took a moment to be grateful for that shit. She moved in my hands, against my mouth. Her sex was wet and kept getting hotter as she moaned my name and filled my mouth with her juices.
I had to come up for air though I didn’t want to leave her. I wanted to stay where I was, with my tongue buried inside her, that fragile piece of flesh that protected her innocence teasing me with what it represented.
It was because of that that I satisfied myself with one last long lick up her thigh, and a bite on her hip.
SIAN
He took my hand and placed it on the log in his jeans.
“Sian if you don’t want to get fucked squeeze that as hard as you can.”
I was nervous but I knew what I wanted to do, what I wanted to give to him. After what he’d just done I was more excited about what was in store than ever.
I never knew that anything could feel that good. Never imagined that I could lose myself that easily.
I’d even forgotten where I was. I’m pretty sure it was him though; that it wouldn’t have been half as good with anyone else.
I squeezed his length and took a deep breath to fortify myself. Here goes nothing. I slid all the way off the car and tried not to let my face go up in flames.
“I’ll do better than that.” It wasn’t as easy as I thought to play the vamp, but I gave it my best shot.
Dropping to my knees I pulled his belt open and lowered his zipper. One quick peek up showed the surprise on his face. “Babe you don’t have to…” He tried to stop me but I had already made up my mind.
