The Wannabes

by Tammy Coons

  “Huh?” Corbin’s mind was wrapped up in the vision of them entangled in sheets together.

  “Which way are we going?” He placed his arm on the back of her seat. His shirt fell open Corbin scanned his chest. She licked her lips and swallowed hard.

  “Anyway you want.” She yanked her eyes up. “I mean any direction is ok.” She watched as he gave her his sly smile. He started the cart and they sped off towards the lake.

  “This place is awesome,” Ryder announced as the pulled up in front of the lake. Adults and kids milled about. Ryder shut the cart off and placed his arms on the back of her seat again.

  Corbin glanced at him then focused her eyes on the water. She sipped her beer and contemplated her next move.

  “Do you want to get in?”

  “Let’s do it.” Ryder jumped off the cart stripped off his shirt and kicked off his shoes. He threw his sunglasses on the seat. Corbin held back a moan. His body glistened with sweat, his swim trunks hung on his hips.

  Keep it together girl.

  Corbin put her beer in the cup holder and slid off the seat. She pulled her shirt over her head and slid her shorts off.

  “Damn, girl.” Ryder fanned himself and gave her a whistle.

  “Stop,” Corbin laughed she felt herself blush. Ryder walked to her side of cart and took her hand. He pulled her against him. Her breath caught in her throat, she looked to the ground. She felt Ryder place a finger under her chin and raised her eyes to his.

  “Couldn’t help it, Corbin. You’ve got a rocking body. I don’t know why you hide it.” Corbin looked into his green eyes and all of her common sense flew out the window. She placed her hand on the back of his head and brought his mouth to hers. The kiss made her toes curl into the sand. Ryder ran his hands up and down her back while she wrapped her arms around his neck. The kiss deepened and Ryder groaned in her mouth which intensified the heat that was raging between her legs.

  “Excuse me, there are kids present.” They pulled away. A woman carrying a small child stood before them.

  “Sorry.” Corbin wiped her lips. The woman shook her head and walked away.

  “We should probably get in the water. I seem to have a serious situation going on.” Ryder breathed into her ear. He pulled her against him and she felt his hardness. Corbin gathered he courage and whispered back.

  “So do I, only you can’t feel it.”

  Ryder cocked his head sideways then swooped her up in his arms.

  “We will see about that,” he growled. He began wading out into the water.

  “Don’t go to deep,” Corbin blurted. For some reason, Ryder stopped in his tracks and started laughing uncontrollably. Corbin squirmed out of his arms.

  “What, I can’t swim.” Corbin had no clue as to what could have been so funny about her comment. She turned to get out of the water but Ryder grabbed her arm.

  “I’m sorry. It’s just that well, you know...after we had that make out session in front of the world...I said what I said and you said what you said...and then telling me no to go too deep.” He held his side.

  Corbin felt herself blush and realization hit her. She burst out laughing.

  “I am so stupid,” Corbin said between laughs. She watched Ryder shake his head.

  “No you’re not. Come on hop on my back I’ll keep you safe out there.” Corbin looked out at the water.

  “Are you sure?”

  “Trust me.” Ryder held out his hand. Corbin looked at him and then back out at the water. She took his hand then hopped on his back and let him take her out into the deeper water.

  “I’m so scared.” She clung to him tightly.

  “Don’t be, I got you.” She felt his hands caress her legs.

  He stopped when the water was up to his chest. He gave her legs a tap.

  “Relax a little and turn and face me.” Corbin turned awkwardly in the water so she was nose to nose with Ryder. He placed his hands on her hips. “Drop your legs, you can touch the bottom here.”

  “Don’t let go of me.” Corbin’s heart hammered in her chest.

  “Oh, I won’t.” He gave her a quick kiss. She reluctantly removed her legs and released her grip around his neck then placed her feet on the bottom of the lake. The water came over the top of her boobs. She watched Ryder glance down, he then pulled her up closer to the shore so her boobs were out of the water.

  “That’s better.” He ran a finger in between them making Corbin shiver. He went under the water and popped back up, his hair was slicked back and water dripped from his face. Corbin removed her hair tie and dipped under, she made sure to run a hand up his chest as she resurfaced. When she opened her eyes Ryder stood in the water motionless. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him hard she wrapped her legs around him again.

  “Eww!” a small voice exclaimed and sent a huge splash in their faces.

  Ryder pulled away from her, “Let’s go back to the cabin.”

  Corbin nodded then switched her position back to his back. He carried her back to the cart and on the way back, Ryder almost ran into a couple of trees due to Corbin’s eager mouth. When they pulled up to the cabin they saw a truck with Texas plates.

  “Cowboy Mike must be here,” Ryder said in a Texan drawl. He shut the cart off then reached for Corbin and pulled her onto his lap. He kissed her hard, his tongue probing her mouth. Corbin moaned into his.

  “Damn, that is hot,” Ryder growled. They separated again and made their way inside. Sounds of Stella’s moans filled the house.

  “Told you,” Corbin pointed upstairs. Ryder gave her a gentle shove into the bedroom then followed her in. He shut the door behind him and locked it.

  “Ryder I…” Corbin began. Ryder cocked his head and flew that sly smile her way.

  “Yeah, Corbin…” He walked towards her untying his swim trunks. He licked his lips. His eyes went up and down her body.

  “I…” He let his trunks fall to the floor. Her eyes rested on his penis. “I…ahm.” His hands were untying her top and sliding down her bottoms. She grabbed a handful of his hair and whispered “Je veux te faire l’amour.”

  “Oh yeah, baby, I will.” Ryder nipped her ear then covered her mouth with is. He eased her back on the bed his lips never leaving hers. Corbin wrapped herself around him, pulling him as close to her as possible.

  She felt his mouth trailing from her neck to her breasts then over her stomach. He nudged her thighs open with his face and gave her a kiss on her mound. Corbin shuddered and her breath hitched in her throat. She entwined her fingers in Ryder’s hair as he sent an arsenal of tongue lashings on her clit. She opened herself further to him, her moans filling the room. A sweat broke out on her brow; never had she felt so much pleasure.

  “Oh God, Ryder, don’t stop!” She moaned aloud. She felt his tongue quicken up its pace and held fast to his head as she came. He gave her clit a small kiss, and then returned his mouth to hers. He kissed her deeply. Corbin wrapped herself around him.

  “Shit, my condoms are in my bag,” Ryder groaned.

  “I…have condoms...in the dresser...” Corbin panted. Ryder hopped up and dug through the dresser; he pulled a condom out, ripped it open, and slid it on. He then climbed back on top of her. He entered her slowly, a gruff growl erupted from him.“Oh shit, Corbin,” he moaned. Corbin bit onto the pillow to stifle her moans from the pleasure she was feeling.

  “Ryder...oh Ryder…” She wrapped her legs around him to urge him to push harder into her. He followed her response and slammed himself into her. Corbin removed the pillow from her mouth and moaned loudly.

  “I can’t hold it,” Ryder groaned. She felt his dick pulsate inside of her as he let go. He dug his fingers into her hips and shuddered. He gave her a couple more rams then relaxed and pulled out. He plopped down on his back, his breathing labored.

  “Oh my God,” Corbin panted. Ryder chuckled next to her and ran a hand down her stomach.

  “You’re welcome.” He exhaled a long breath. Corbin
turned to him and rested her head on his chest. She wrapped her leg around him and fell into a deep sleep.

  AFTER RYDER WAS sure Corbin was sound asleep, he slipped his arm out from under her. He kissed her forehead and carefully got out of the bed. Remembering his swim trunks were soaked from the lake, he wrapped his shirt around his waist and reached for the door. He glanced at Corbin who lay half covered in a sheet. He caught a glimpse of the top of her thigh that hit the bottom of the curve of her ass. He felt his dick begin to harden. He momentarily considered waking her up and doing her again. But his full bladder demanded his attention more. He opened the door and crept out making sure to shut the door as quietly as possible.

  “Hey there, rock star,” Mike drawled. Ryder jumped then turned around.

  “Howdy, tex.” He pretended to tip a hat. He snatched his bag from the floor and went into the bathroom to get dressed. He tried to pee but his still raging hard on was making it difficult.

  “Want a beer?” Mike asked from outside the door.

  Awkward.

  “Ah yeah, I’ll be out in a sec.” Ryder gave up on trying to pee and threw on some jeans. When he opened the door, Mike shoved a Bud in his face. “Thanks man.” Mike reached out with a bottle opener and popped the top off. Ryder took a long drink.

  “Smoke?” Mike asked, holding out his cigarettes and lighter. Ryder took one and lit it. He ran his hand threw his messed up hair.

  “Where’s Stella?”

  “Upstairs…I wore her ass out.” Mike shot him a sideways grin.

  “Ahh...I think I am going to go outside, get some air.” Ryder slid the patio door open and walked to the railing.

  “Great place isn’t it,” Mike said from behind him.

  Please go away.

  “Yeah,” Ryder gave him a quick nod then looked out at the landscape. The sounds of laughing children and the smell of barbeque grills firing up filled the air. His stomach growled.

  “There you are,” he heard Stella say. He turned and saw her wrap her arms around Mike, she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

  “Let’s fire up the grill, I brought some steaks.” Mike kissed Stella’s hand and Stella giggled. Ryder rolled his eyes. Mike went inside.

  “Ryder, did Corbin give you a tour?” Stella asked.

  “Yeah,” Ryder cleared his throat, a small uncontrollable smile played out on his lips.

  “Did you check out the lake?”

  He gave her a nod and took a sip of his beer. “Beautiful.”

  “Where is Corbin?”

  “She’s ahm…napping.” The vision of her half exposed ass filled his mind.

  “Ryder James, are you blushing?”

  Am I?

  He gave Stella a shrug and then his sly smile. She crossed her arms and seemed to study him. He let out a laugh then finished his beer.

  RYDER GLANCED INTO the kitchen to see Corbin enter. She was wearing some tiny shorts and a tank top. Her hair was pulled back neatly into a pony tail, revealing her neck. She chugged some water, then turned his way. He watched her face as it turned pink. He felt a small smile play out on his lips.

  Damn, she’s sexy.

  She looked to the floor then back up to meet his eyes. He gestured with his finger for her to come outside. She tugged at her shirt then slid the patio door open. Ryder wanted to sweep her up and take her back to the bedroom. He felt a tug in his pants, the vision of her writhing beneath him, her moans, how eager she was to let him have his way with her. Later, he would take his time with her. He cleared his throat, in an effort to hide a groan.

  “It’s dark already? Where is everyone?” she asked looking around.

  “Mike and Stella went to town to get some more supplies.”

  “Oh.” He watched as she toyed with the cap of her water bottle. She brought her eyes to his.

  Ryder pushed out his chair and patted his lap. She hesitated for a moment then walked to him. He pulled her onto him so she was straddling him. She glanced around again.

  “Are you ok?” he ran his hands up and down her arms. She gave him a nod. He reached up and cupped her face in his hands and brought her lips to his. He pulled away, brushing his thumb over where he had just kissed her. He felt her shiver, and then felt her hands entwine his hair. She brought her lips to his in a feverish kiss. Their tongues teased one another. Corbin released his hair and slid her hands between them, pressing, squeezing and rubbing him. He slid his hand up her shirt and teased her nipples. Small sighs escaped her.

  “Well…well…well.” They both froze and turned and turned to see Stella and Mike standing on the patio. Mike gave Ryder thumbs up.

  Corbin removed herself from his lap and hurried into the house. Ryder considered going after her but the bulge in his pants told him to stay put. He ran his hand threw his hair and lit a cigarette. Stella gave him a sideways look then went into the house.

  “Rock star, wanna help me out with the grill?”

  “Yeah, in a minute,” Ryder reached under the table and adjusted himself. His dick was rock hard.

  Or an hour or two.

  “So…” Stella gestured with her hands.

  “What?” Corbin shrugged.

  “Did you…?” Stella made a circle with her thumb and finger and slid another in and out of it.

  “Gah, Stella.” Corbin covered her face wither hands.

  “I am going to take that as a yes. How was it?”

  “Stella, please.” She didn’t want to discuss it at all with her.

  “Oh no, I ain’t leaving you alone until I get some deets on this.”

  Corbin let out a huge sigh. “It was good, I guess.” She shrugged.

  “What? That’s it?” Stella threw her hands in the air.

  “I don’t know what you want me to tell you.” Corbin wanted to slink away. She avoided Stella’s eyes.

  “How are the potatoes?” Mike yelled from the patio.

  Stella opened the microwave door and stuck a fork in one of them. “They’re done.”

  “Steaks are ready too.” Stella gave Mike a nod then turned to Corbin.

  “Can you grab the sour cream? And FYI, this conversation isn’t over.” Stella gave her a wink. Corbin shook her head and uttered a nervous laugh.

  They gathered up plates and silverware and walked out to the patio. Mike and Ryder were gathered around the grill. In typical male fashion, they were discussing the how to’s of grilling. Ryder looked her way.

  “Got you some Blue Moon.” He reached into the cooler and pulled on out. He walked to her, twisted the top and held it out to her. Their fingers brushed together and she almost dropped the plates she was holding.

  “Thanks.”

  He gave her a wink and then took the plates from her and set the table while she sat down.

  “I was thinking...” Stella cooed.

  “Oh God,” Corbin muttered aloud.

  “Shut up...anyway….after a golf cart ride, we should all take a dip in the lake.”

  “Sure felt good earlier.” Ryder wiggled his eyebrows at Corbin. She felt a blush spread.

  “I’ll bet.” Stella shot Corbin a raised eyebrow.

  Mike dished out the steaks and Stella passed the potatoes around. Corbin feeling famished, dug into her food. She caught Ryder eyeing her and suddenly felt self conscious. She placed her fork and knife on her plate and took a sip of her beer. Rob had always chastised her about her eating habits. He often told his buddies she could out eat him any day.

  “Corbin, what are your plans now that you have graduated?” Mike asked between chews.

  “I guess go on to the U of I?” Corbin shrugged. In all fairness she had no idea what her plans were.

  “Do you want to be a teacher?” Mike probed further.

  “I would love to be an interpreter.”

  “An interpreter? Here?” Ryder asked. She met his gaze.

  “I don’t know, somewhere.” She looked down at her plate and pushed her food around.

  “I think that sounds exciting,”
Stella said with a nod. Corbin gave her a shrug.

  “What about you, rock star? What are your plans?” Mike asked. Corbin felt relieved the conversation was now on someone else.

  “I guess just work, make some money, get my own place. What about you?” Ryder leaned back in his chair.

  “My last day on the job here is August 30th, so on August 31st I am going back home to Texas.”

  Corbin watched as a sense of sadness washed over Stella’s face.

  “What job?” Ryder asked he took a long pull from his beer.

  “Our company has been here since April helping out with the new pipeline. I can’t wait to get back home.” Mike gave Stella a pat on the leg, she pretended to pout.

  “I imagine.” Ryder gave him a nod.

  “I am going to work on a ranch there, I’m so sick of traveling. I have been trying to talk Stella into coming along.”

  “You should go,” Corbin blurted.

  “And leave behind this awesome town and my fabulous job?” Stella plumped her hair. Corbin rolled her eyes at her and then all laughed. They all fell silent for a moment. Everyone seemed to be lost in their own thoughts.

  “Stella told me you used to be in a band and almost got signed. Infected Whiskey?” Mike said then let out a burp.

  “Yep.” Ryder lit a cigarette. Corbin watched as his demeanor changed from relaxed to guarded.

  “What happened? Why did you guys break up?” Stella chimed in.

  “I fucked up.” Ryder shrugged.

  “How?” Corbin asked softly. Ryder looked to her then away.

  “The night before we were supposed to sign the contract, I went out and celebrated. I got coked up and blasted on whiskey. Then I decided to take a ride on my chopper, I almost killed myself that night. I broke both of my legs and arms, busted several ribs, had bruised lungs and a concussion. While I was in the hospital Infected Whiskey broke up. The guys got offers from other bands to join in. I am surprised Alex didn’t fill you guys in on this.” He tapped his lighter on the table and kept his gaze down.

  “No, she didn’t,” Stella said in almost a whisper.

  “That’s why I got this.” He pointed to the grim reaper tattoo over his heart. “This dude had me in his hands.” He pushed away from the table and grabbed another beer from the cooler.
