“You knew that when you were eleven?” I said and laughed.
He nodded. “Oh yeah. I’ve missed you, Candy.”
“I’ve missed you too, Nicky. It’s been a long time since we were together, but I now want to play with you in a whole new way,” I said, and he chuckled.
I pulled off my shirt, and as I did so, I noticed Dominic staring at my breasts, almost licking his lips as he watched me. I liked the way he was looking at me, so I climbed on top of him, put a pillow under his head and leaned down so that my breasts were above him. I moaned softly as he began to suck on my nipples, letting his tongue flick around the tender nubs. I hadn’t felt that much pleasure in a long time, and I didn’t want him to stop. By the time I pulled away my nipples were hard, and the white around them had turned pink. I moved down and pulled his shorts off, parting my lips so I could tease him in turn, and I felt his erection inside my mouth grow even harder as I sucked. I could hear him panting, and I liked the way he gripped the top of my head as if he were about to fall off the bed. I stopped when I could feel that he was starting to lose control and slowly moved up toward him. I took off the rest of my clothes and climbed on top of him.
Dominic flipped me over and buried himself into me. I liked how small I felt with him on top of me, pinning me down onto a bed I would never look at in the same way again. I liked that I could feel him inside me, and the way he was looking at me as he pushed himself in deeper.
“Shit, Candy, you’re driving me insane,” he whispered.
I didn’t answer him. I couldn’t speak. But inside, the voice in my head was screaming, don’t ever let this end. The only sound that came out my mouth was a hoarse groan as I felt myself being swayed by the intensity of it all. He pulled all the way out, and I cried out in desperation. Don’t stop, my inner voice cried. Please don’t stop. Dominic kissed me gently on the mouth, and the moved down so that his tongue was between my legs, exploring my tender folds and setting my nerves aflame. My body shuddered, and I found myself sinking deeper and deeper into oblivion.
“I’m going to come,” I managed to say. I was so close. Too close. But Dominic obviously intended for me to come to orgasm this way because he didn’t move away. Instead, his licking became even more fervent, and my body responded to the insistent touch of his tongue. I could feel myself giving into the sensation, and I felt myself being transported to new heights, as if I was no longer in control of my own body. I shivered, trembled and jerked as a wave of absolute pleasure took over me. “Oh god, yes, yes,” I whispered over and over again as I gave into the orgasm.
I hadn’t come hard in a very long time. Had I ever felt anything quite so incredible? It was over, but I wanted more. So I pulled him up and told him to come inside me. I was wet, and swollen, and he slipped inside with ease. As he pushed against me, I could feel the wave of pleasure swelling up within me once more, and as I saw the deep desire in his eyes, I knew that I was going to come all over again. He’d been holding out for too long, and within minutes, I could feel him releasing inside me. The very feeling of it made me come again myself, and I wrapped my legs around him to deepen the sensation. Never in my life had I ever wanted to be anywhere more.
It took us a while to come down to reality. We lay there, breathing heavily until we finally moved to a steady rhythm.
“You are incredible, Candy,” he said.
I ran my fingers over his bare chest, realizing that I had come full circle. That was how this whole thing had started, with my hands trailing over him. For once, I had gone after something I had wanted, and I had gotten it. It felt good to have finally taken control.
“That was incredible,” I said. “I wouldn’t mind all mornings starting this way. I’ve just realized that we have to get ready for class,” I said.
Dominic chuckled. “Maybe we can incorporate this as part of our research for the project.”
“Even though it has nothing to do with the project?” I said and laughed.
“Or we could just use it as a way of de-stressing. I mean, it’s a very stressful project to be a part of.”
“You know, Nicky, I always knew you were smart. I like the way you think.”
Chapter Thirteen
Dominic
I left Candice’s dorm room feeling like I was on top of the world. I made it back to my place with just enough time to shower and change and grab a bite to eat. I did everything with a smile on my face, and I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to easily wipe it off. Nothing could get me down that day. I basically smiled the whole way through my classes, and even one of the teachers commented on it.
“You’re in a good mood today, Dominic,” Mrs. Patterson said. “Do you love my class that much?”
I laughed. “I love your class!” I said.
She shook her head. “Somehow, I am sure this has nothing to do with my class, but that’s okay. If only you all showed up to class with a big grin on your face. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it,” she said. The comment made me chuckle. I was going to have to tell Candice what she said. I mean, if the teacher wanted me to keep having sex with Candice, who was I to argue?
I wondered how Candice was feeling about the whole thing. The two of us had left on good terms. When I’d left her room, she’d stood on the tips of her toes and kissed me goodbye. We hadn’t discussed what we were to one another or what this meant for us going forward, but I didn’t mind. We had all the time in the world to figure that out. All I knew, without doubt, was that I wanted to see her again. There was no chance that sleeping with her was going to be a one-time affair. I knew that sex with Candice was going to be good, but I had no idea that it would be that good. She was incredible.
After classes, I made my way to the practice. I might’ve made Mrs. Patterson happy with my smiles, but Coach Bane didn’t agree. He came up to me halfway through and told me to get my head out of the clouds and to start concentrating more on the plays.
“Sorry,” I said. “I’m just kind of tired. But I’ve got this.”
I quickly pushed all thoughts of Candice aside as I concentrated on my game. It had been one of the first times that the coach had ever had a bad word to say to me and I didn’t like it. No matter how much I wanted to think about what had happened that morning, I also had to remember how important it was that I did well in football. My dream of playing in the NFL was not certain, and only hard work and determination was going to get me there. Thankfully, the coach could see how much I was trying and afterward he came to tell me that I’d done well.
“Just make sure you get some rest. I know you have schoolwork and I know it’s hard to do it all, but you have to keep trying, Dominic. You’re one of our best players, and I want you to do well.”
I thanked him and made my way to the locker rooms to shower. I had showered, and gotten changed and was putting on my shoes when some of the boys came up to me.
“What’s going on with you today?” Harry asked.
“What do you mean? Nothing is going on with me. I’m just tired. You heard what I said to Coach Bane.”
“Oh yeah? And what about what happened in Mrs. Patterson’s class?” Sam said.
“What happened?” Tim asked.
“Mrs. Patterson called him out for smiling all the time. Dominic has been grinning like a cat that got the cream all day long. Something is definitely up.”
I laughed. “What are you guys? Detectives or something? Nothing is up. I’m just in a good mood.”
“And good and tired? Hmm, sounds to me like you met a girl.”
“Sounds to me like you all need to take up a hobby or something. You have too much time on your hands. And you’re not very good at being detectives.”
“So who’s the girl?” Tim asked and grinned at me.
I grinned back. “I’m leaving.”
“We’ll get it out of you soon, Dominic.”
“Yeah, yeah. Keep trying, detectives,” I said and walked out before they could say anything else.
I wa
s still grinning to myself as I made my way back to my dorm when Derek suddenly walked up to me. He looked tired and disheveled, and I could smell the sweet odor of alcohol coming off him.
“Dominic, Dominic, Dominic. What’s this I hear about you and my girl?”
“There’s nothing to talk about, Derek,” I said and walked away.
“You like her. I know you do. I could see it in the library that day. What’s wrong? Can’t get your own girl so you have to try and get mine? You have no right to her. She was mine before she even came here. Stupid girl. She should’ve stayed at home. I knew this college thing was a bad idea. Everything was fine until she got here. You have no right to her! You know that.”
“Derek, this has nothing to do with me.” It did, I supposed, but I didn’t want to add fuel to the fire.
“She broke up with me, you know. Just like that.”
“I know. I’m sorry,” I said.
He laughed. “Of course you know. And of course you’re not sorry. And I did nothing to deserve it. It’s not fair. She was my girlfriend, and I was in with her family. I was in! And now . . . now she’s gone. Why? Because of you, isn’t it?” he said and leaned forward.
I grimaced as he breathed over me. Whiskey mixed with something sweet. It made me want to throw up. I turned my head away.
“Derek, you’re drunk, and you’re not thinking clearly. You better leave me alone. You really don’t want to mess with me,” I said.
“Oh yeah? Or what?” he said and moved forward to punch me.
Derek was too drunk and too slow to aim correctly. I moved to the side as he swung at me, and watched as he fell straight to the floor. Despite being annoyed at him, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the guy as he lay there on the floor. It was a pitiful sight. I shook my head and leaned down to help him up, but instead of taking my help, he spat at me. Luckily he missed, and I watched as spit landed near my feet.
“What the hell, Derek? I was only trying to help you up. Why did you do that?”
“Because you deserved it. That’s why. You’ll see, you scumbag. I’ll get you back. I’ll get you all back. You’ll see. Just wait. I’ll get you back, and you will get what you deserve.” His words were slurring, and he continued to lie there with his head to the side. If he was trying to act menacing towards me, it really wasn’t working.
I walked away. If he didn’t want my help, then I wasn’t going to give it to him. I didn’t feel sorry for him any longer. Nobody had ever done that to me before. I walked back to my dorm, grateful that he hadn’t followed me and locked the door behind me. I then immediately grabbed my phone and called Candice to tell her what had happened.
“What? Are you serious?” she said. She groaned. “I’m so sorry, Dominic. He’s such an idiot. I had no idea he would do something like this. I don’t even know why he’s being this way. Like I said, the two of us haven’t been happy for a long time now. I think he’s more upset at being away from my father than he is from being away from me. I’m so sorry. He actually spat at you? That’s disgusting. Are you okay?”
“I’m okay. I just thought I should let you know, though. I didn’t want to keep it to myself. Just in case you hear it from someone else. Although, thankfully, there didn’t seem to be anyone around us.” We would’ve gathered a crowd for sure had someone walked past and seen us.
“I’m worried about him, Dominic. Or, more specifically, I’m worried about us. I just get a bad feeling about him. I’m not sure why. I’m so scared that he’s going to do something.”
“Does he have a history of violence?” I asked.
“Not that I know of. He’s really moody, but I’ve never seen him violent. I’m not sure if he’s got it in him to do something bad, but he might still cause trouble in another way. Just be careful.”
“Yeah,” I said. “I will be. But you must also be careful. I will make sure that he doesn’t do anything to hurt you. Just be on guard and call me if you hear from him. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s still passed out in the corridor. The guy reeked of alcohol.”
“I’m sorry for all the trouble, Nicky.”
I don’t think Candice realized how much I would do for her. “Don’t ever be sorry for something that Derek does. This has nothing to do with you.”
I put the phone down and thought about Derek. Was he the sort of guy that I should be worried about? Would he cause trouble for us? I tried to figure out if he was dangerous or whether he was just a guy that had his ego bruised. I couldn’t decide. There was something malicious about him, but I had no idea how far it ran. I decided to call Axel just in case. I explained the whole thing to him and told him that Derek had tried to take a shot at me.
“He missed, though.”
“He missed?”
“He was so drunk. He missed and fell right to the floor.”
Axel groaned. “Idiot. So, what are you going to do?”
“For now, I’m not going to do anything. There might be nothing to worry about, but just in case, I think it’s best to keep my guard up.”
I didn’t really want to tell anyone at the college about what had happened. The last thing I needed was for rumors to start flying and for things to get exaggerated. I also didn’t want everyone talking about Candice. It was hard enough that she had come in with such a target on her back. She was the new kid with a semi-famous father. She didn’t also need to be the girl that had started a feud between two guys. I wanted to keep her as protected as possible.
“Yeah, you better stay two steps ahead of him just in case.”
“That’s why I called you. I wanted you to know what was happening. If anything goes down, do you mind if I call you for back up?”
“Of course I don’t mind. Hopefully, it won’t come to that but just call me if you need help. Don’t let this idiot win!”
“I won’t,” I said.
“So, sounds like this girl must be something special. You wouldn’t go to all this trouble for just anyone. I thought you weren’t interested in dating right now. Isn’t that what you told me? That you just wanted to play football and study?” I could hear the teasing tone in his voice.
I laughed. “Well, it’s Candy, remember . . . she is someone special.”
“And hot,” he said.
“Well, yeah, that too.”
“Just be careful, Dom. This is the reason why I don’t get involved with girls. At least not in a serious way. They’re trouble, sometimes.”
I smiled as I thought about Candice and I in bed together that morning. “Yeah, but sometimes they are worth the trouble.”
Chapter Fourteen
Candice
Who knew that my college life would be as much of a rollercoaster as it had been so far. I’d arrived as a timid girl, unsure of what people would think about me, but excited nonetheless for the new adventure. I should’ve known that coming to the same college as my boyfriend was a bad idea, especially when that boyfriend and I were not happy. I should’ve broken up with Derek a long time ago. But, as with so many other things in my life, I’d stayed with him in order to placate my father. I had just told myself, over and over again, that Derek wasn’t as bad as I was making him out to be. I told myself that I was happy and that I would one day fall in love with him. But I had always known that he was not the right person to me.
I wished I hadn’t met Dominic so quickly, so suddenly. Although, it if wasn’t for him, I probably would never have had the guts to end things with Derek. So, in a way, everything was working out the way that they should. But that didn’t make it any easier.
I had finally told my father about Derek. I had called him because seeing him face to face would’ve been too difficult. I didn’t want to see how disappointed he was in me. I thought back to the conversation.
“What? You broke up with him? But why, darling? I thought the two of you were happy?”
I was glad that he had called me darling. Surely that meant that he was going to be okay once I explained everything to him?
He couldn’t be too upset with me if he was still calling me darling, surely?
“Daddy, I wasn’t happy with him at all. Things haven’t been good for a long time. I just didn’t want to admit it to myself.”
“But why are you doing this now? Now that you’re in the same college together. I sent you there because I knew he would take care of you. I didn’t want you there on your own.”
“I’m fine on my own, Daddy. And I should’ve done this a long time ago.”
“Did you meet someone else? Is that it?”
“No. this has nothing to do with anyone else. This has to do with me and Derek not being suited to each other.” I had already decided not to tell my father about Dominic. It was still too early, and I wanted to see how things were going to progress with us. I didn’t need my father getting in the way.
For a while, my father didn’t say anything, but I knew he was still there because I could hear him breathing heavily into the phone.
“Dad, are you okay?” I said, although I became vaguely aware of the fact that he should be the one asking me that. After all, I was the one that had just broken up with my boyfriend.
“How could you break up with him?” he said.
I was taken aback. I knew he wouldn’t be happy but I figured he would at least understand.
“Dad, what do you mean? I told you I wasn’t happy with him.”
“Couldn’t you have tried harder? You saw how hard he always tried with you. Look how nicely he dressed up the last time he came for dinner. The boy clearly cared a lot about you.”
I laughed. “Dad, I think he dressed up more for you than he did for me.”
“And what exactly is wrong with that?”
“You’re not the one that was going out with him. I was. Dad, he didn’t make me happy. You can’t be upset with me for not wanting to stay with someone that didn’t make me happy, can you?”
“He was perfect for you. He came from the right family. His political aspirations are in line with mine. I envisioned a great future with him in mind.”
