I woke Ford up and he started to get his stuff in order. He seemed to be in a foul mood, not really saying anything as we gathered our things and headed out to his truck. We put our two duffle bags in the crew cab and I put my purse under the seat without even a peep out of his mouth.
Ford pulled away from the old repair shop and we set out on our ride to part ways. For me, it was bittersweet. As much as I wanted to see my friends, the idea of saying goodbye to something that felt so great was difficult.
While driving through his small town I noticed two churches, a firehouse, a town police station, and a high school. The diner was the last place before we got back onto a deserted highway. “You really live in the middle of nowhere.”
“It ain’t that bad. We’re about thirty minutes from a city. They even have a Walmart now.”
“Wow, a Walmart!” I was being sarcastic.
“When I went away at college, I thought I wanted to live in the city, truth is I didn’t like it very much. It was too fast. Everyone expected something out of you. After Harley died, I just wanted to be left alone.”
I let my hand go out the window and feel the breeze. The sun reflected off of the passing cornfields; it really was beautiful. I could see how he would appreciate the quiet. “I get it. I guess I just wanted to be away from my family. They fight all the time and I wanted to get out and do my own thing.”
He got quiet for a second. “Can you get my phone out of the glove compartment?”
I was shocked that he owned one, but I grabbed it for him and said nothing.
He turned it on and set it on the dash. I could hear it vibrating like crazy, so I grabbed mine out of my purse and turned mine on. Sure enough, messages started coming through.
He handed me his phone. “Can you read me the messages?”
I felt like I was invading his privacy in a way, even though he’d told me to do it.
“Ashley messaged you three times.”
He shook his head. “What do they say?”
I looked down and read them in order. “Are you on the road yet? I can’t wait to see you.” The last message made my stomach ache. “I’ll be waiting in our favorite spot, naked!”
I leaned over and sat the phone down on the dash in front of him, refusing to look at him, but wondering if he’d told me to look on purpose. “She just won’t give up!”
The messages on my phone were about the same. Mack had sent over ten messages and I had a boatload of voicemails. After giving each pathetic message a once over, I turned my phone off and shoved it back in my purse. “Mine either. So, have you considered getting back together? She obviously thinks she has a chance. Didn’t you know she was going to be at the beach?”
He shook his head. “Nah! I ain’t gettin’ back with her. The day after I broke things off she was bangin’ my friend. All I’ve ever been to her was her way out of our little town. She never wanted to settle down there. Her daddy is the town councilman. She thinks she can have whatever she wants in life.”
“She’s very pretty.”
“How about your ex? Any chance of you gettin’ back together? I mean, after what you shared with me, I’d imagine he’s missin’ your fine ass by now.”
I brought my knees up to my chest. “For a time, I thought we’d get married and start a life together. That all changed when I caught him cheating. I guess looking back I was a fool to think he’d be faithful. College isn’t exactly an easy place to be in a monogamous relationship for a guy, no offense.”
“None taken.”
“He’s begged me to give him another chance, but I can’t stop seeing him with those girls.” I looked over at Ford who, at the same time, looked over at me. “The truth is, I couldn’t have done those things with you if I loved him as much as I thought I did.”
“I take it I was your first one-night-stand?” He seemed proud to have taken my one-night-stand virginity.
“Yeah. I’m not the kind of girl that does something like that.” I was feeling uncomfortable now that it was being referred to as a one-night-stand. “Not that I regret it. I just don’t do that with strangers, ever.”
“You enjoyed it as much as I did, Sky. Stop actin’ ashamed. Nobody knows what we did. If you want, they never even have to know.” He reached over and put his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it. “I’ll never forget it, I can promise you that.”
I smiled and looked over at him. “I won’t forget it either.”
He pulled over to the side of the road. “Why don’t you climb over here and give me a goodbye kiss that neither of us will ever forget?”
I bit down on my lip and started pulling down my shorts. Ford matched my moves by unbuttoning his fly. When I had nothing left to take off, I climbed over and straddled him. “How’s this?”
He kissed me once. “That’s what I was talkin’ about. Fuck me goodbye, Sky.”
We were in the middle of nowhere, albeit someone could drive by at any time and I didn’t care. I wanted to feel the heat between us one more time. His shirt slipped over his head with ease, allowing me to get my hands on his hard chest, while I teased him with my pussy, letting it grind over his hard dick, without letting him penetrate me. He grabbed my ass and massaged it as I rocked back and forth, kissing him in a full blown make out session on the side of the road. It felt so right, being there in his arms.
“You want this pussy, don’t you?” He came in for another kiss and I pulled away. “Don’t you?”
Ford grabbed my tits and pressed me back against the steering wheel. He dove in, sucking one nipple into his mouth, while pinching the other. I ran my hands across his neck and up through his hair. Then he reached one hand down and ran it over my wet pussy. With a smile on his face, his finger went into his mouth as he tasted me. “Mmm, you know I do.” He took his hand and went down for a second taste, bringing his fingers to his lips and sucking up all of my juices.
The third time he did it, I was already extremely turned on. It didn’t help that his fingers ran across my lips, instead of his own. I licked them, tasting myself and becoming hotter from the pheromones that my own body was giving off. Ford leaned in, licking the remaining juices off of my lips before kissing me, mingling our tongues together. He grabbed my hair and controlled our kissing, while I rocked my body over his.
“I love how wet you make me. You want this wet pussy?” I reached down and rubbed myself, pinching my clit between two fingers. Ford lifted me off of him and laid me down across the bench seat. He made sure I didn’t stop touching myself as he leaned down and kissed my thigh. Something about Ford made me feel so free. It was like he brought out a dirty side in me that I didn’t know existed.
“Finger yourself.”
I licked my lips and slid two fingers inside of my wet pussy. It was begging to be touched and the more I moved, the more I wanted it to be Ford’s cock.
He pulled my fingers out and sucked on them, before sucking hard on my clit, spitting on it and rubbing it with his thumb. “I won’t fuck you until I watch you cum. Show me how much you want my dick inside of you.”
He put my fingers back near my opening and just sat there waiting for me to penetrate myself again. I slid them beneath my folds, paying extra attention to my clit. At first, it was hard to decide whether to watch myself or Ford watching me. Both equally turned me on and soon the decision didn’t matter, because I was arching my body and letting go.
My fingers slowly came out as I sat there trying to catch my breath. Ford was busy looking up at me. “You’re so fuckin’ sexy.”
“Please, Ford?”
I could hardly contain my anxiousness as he picked me up and took control of the situation. Within seconds I was straddling him again, and after a few more, he was sliding inside of me. The sheer beauty of how good it felt was sinful. I moved at a good pace, while Ford played with my naked tits and nipples. It was as if he was savoring every inch of me, memorizing all that he could, for when we walked back out of each other’s lives.
I wa
nted to give him something to always remember, so I reached down and started playing with my clit again. My tiny bud was overworked and ultra sensitive. I had to stop rubbing it, on account of losing control again, so instead, I reached up and removed his hands. After replacing his with mine, I began playing with my nipples, tugging them as they hardened and tingled. He grabbed my waist and lifted me up, then let me fall back down, absorbing every inch of him inside of me. I gasped as he filled me and moaned with each thrust. When I felt his sudden release, I grabbed a chunk of his hair and pushed him toward one of my breasts. He suckled it and lost control. Then we just sat there, naked and alone in his truck.
Finally, he kissed the top of my head. “I’ll never forget the time we spent together.”
“Neither will I.”
After a few moments, we separated and redressed. While he started back on the road, I sat there knowing that he’d filled me with everything he had to give. He’d never offered me anything else. We were just passing through each other’s lives. One day we’d stop thinking about each other. We’d find someone that made us happy and start a future with them.
It was the way of life; how it was all supposed to be.
For the rest of the ride, our conversations were kept to a minimum. Neither of us wanted to talk about the inevitable. In just a little while we’d only be a memory. His ex would be there waiting for him, and whether he decided to give it another go, it was none of my business.
As we reached the bridge to get to the beach, I almost asked him to turn back around. Instead, I watched him focus on the remainder of the ride. “What street is your friend’s place on?”
“Just drive to the inlet. Her place is right there at the end.”
This was it. We were spending our last few moments together and I had nothing else to say to him. It was horrible that I couldn’t get the courage to ask to see him again. There he was, so close to me, and I was just going to walk away.
As he pulled up, I took a few deep breaths. He put the truck in park and looked over at me, tracing my cheek with the back of his hand. “It’s been fun.”
I smiled. “Yeah, it really was.”
“My dad says your car will be ready in three days. Do you need a ride back?”
I wanted to ride with him, but it would only make me want him more. “No, thanks. I can get someone to take me.”
“How about a kiss goodbye?”
I smiled, thinking of what had happened the last time he’d ask for a goodbye kiss. I laughed and then leaned over, pressing my lips into his. “Goodbye, Ford.”
“Goodbye, Sky.”
Just like that I grabbed my duffle bag and walked up the sidewalk. He watched me until I reached the door to my friend’s place; he honked and pulled away when I waved back.
Then, he was gone.
Ford
Offering to take her to the beach was the second worst mistake of my life. I didn’t want to feel emotionally attached to her, but the past twenty four hours had awakened a part of me that had been dormant for too long. Sky made me feel alive and I wanted to get to know her. I wanted to know everything about her.
Seeing her grab her bag and walk out of my life was hard. Even though I had friends waiting, I knew I didn’t want to be anywhere around the people I knew. I needed to book a room somewhere that nobody would find me and drown myself in enough booze that Sky was just a fond memory. I was a fool to think that Ashley could help me get over the best sex I’d ever had. All she really knew how to do well was nag the hell out of me. As much as I used to the love the beach, I began to think I should just turn around and head home.
I’d gotten about a mile down the road when I noticed a strap sticking out from underneath the seat. Sky had left her purse in my truck. I reached down and grabbed it, pulling over to the side of the road. Without regard for ever being caught, I opened it. Inside I saw her wallet with her driver’s license. I pulled it out and looked at her picture. She was wearing more makeup than I’d seen on her. It made her look older and hotter, if that was even possible. After putting her license back, I grabbed her phone. Normally, I wouldn’t have cared about someone’s belongings, but after spending the night with Sky, I couldn’t help myself.
She had a pending text message from Mack, who I knew was her ex.
We need to talk. Where the fuck are you? I’m at the beach. Call me.
She wasn’t going to be happy and I was furious that I’d dropped her off to be with him. Without any regard for oncoming traffic, I made a U-turn and started heading back to where I’d dropped her off.
Nothing could have prepared me for the confrontation that I was about to walk into. After parking and looking for the door where Sky had walked towards, I found myself following the loud voices, one of which was Sky’s.
I prepared myself for the worst as I walked right inside without even knocking.
Chapter 8
Skylar
It took me a second to open the door and look for my friends. A part of me wished that I would turn around and see Ford coming toward me. When that didn’t occur, I knew I had to go on with my trip as if he’d never happened.
What was waiting for me on the other side of the door was nothing like I could have expected.
Mack was sitting there on the couch talking to some other guy that I didn’t recognize. He had a beer in his hand and barely looked up when I came walking through the door.
Once my bag hit the floor, and we caught each other’s eye, that was a different story. He was up and in my face immediately. “Where have you been? I got here yesterday. I tried to call you to tell you I would come pick you up.”
I wasn’t about to tell him about Ford. “That’s none of your business! I don’t know why you came here, Mack. We’re through!”
He grabbed my arm and I pulled away quickly, reaching for my bag before flying back out the door. When I smacked into the chest of a muscular man, I didn’t have to look up to know who it was.
The two men froze and I threw my hands up between them. “Ford, I’m fine! It isn’t what it looks like.”
“What the hell, Sky? Who the fuck is this?”
Ford never flinched. He smiled and shook his head. “This is your ex?”
I tried to smile to the best of my ability considering the situation at hand. “Yes. I was just leaving.”
“Let’s roll then.”
He grabbed my hand without giving Mack the time of day. I let him lead me, while looking back to make sure Mack wasn’t following us and it was a good thing I did. Mack was coming at Ford full force. “Ford, watch out!”
Ford ducked just in time to miss a blow to the head. I backed up and watched as Ford got right up next to Mack. “You don’t want to do this, man!”
Mack pointed to me. “That’s my girlfriend you’re defending. You need to walk away before I hurt you!”
Ford stood there, with his hands at his sides. “I ain’t goin’ to fight you. If Sky wants to leave, I’m goin’ to take her.”
“The hell you are!” He pushed Ford.
In the time that he cocked his arm back, Ford’s fist went right into Mack’s face. He fell against the railing on the deck and tried to regain composure. Ford was standing there ready. “I ain’t kiddin’ around.”
Mack wiped the blood from his lip. He pointed to Ford, while looking at me. “This is what you want? This loser?”
“I don’t want you, Mack. Get it through your head!” I grabbed Ford’s hand and led him out to the road where he was parked. It took us only a few seconds to pull away from the curb and get the hell out of there.
“What was that?”
“I have no idea! I didn’t even see any of my friends. He was just sitting there waiting for me. I guess they were at the beach or a club.”
He held up my purse. “You forgot this. I was just bringin’ it by.”
I grabbed my purse and held it against my chest. “Thank God I did. I would have been walking home.”
“I think it’s time we
exchanged numbers. You know, just in case you’re in town, or you need a bodyguard,” He teased.
I shoved him. “Oh, shut up! I can handle my own problems just fine!”
“Obviously!” He pulled into a motel and I wasn’t sure what was happening. Once the truck was in park, he turned off the ignition and looked over at me. “Here’s how I see it. You don’t want to go back to your friends and since my ex is with mine, I don’t feel like goin’ there either. I think that we should get a room for the night and spend tomorrow on the beach away from anyone we might know. What do you say?”
I shrugged. “I don’t know. I hardly know you. What if you try to rape me or something?”
He leaned over and kissed me. “What if I do?” He brought his lips to my ear. “It isn’t rape if you willingly give it to me, which I know you want to.”
He was right. I couldn’t get enough of him. There was nothing that I wanted more than to be naked in bed with him. “I think that spending the day together is a great idea.”
He laughed and kissed my neck. “And what about the night?”
I giggled. “Are you trying to get into my pants?”
“I’ve already been there, darlin’. If I want to do that, it will happen without a fight, I can assure you that.”
Ford jumped out of his truck and headed toward the main office, while I sat there wondering how in the world all of this was happening to me. All along I’d wanted to take this trip to get away from my ex and he’d been here waiting for me.
Along the way, I’d met Ford, who was beyond amazing at being sexy and a lover. The more I was around him, the more emotionally attracted to him I was becoming. It was dangerous for me, considering that we’d both been in serious relationships and this was obviously rebounding at its best. I’d just met the guy and already I was having these feelings like I wanted to explore making it something more.
It didn’t help that he’d just rescued me from a terrible situation and now he was avoiding his own ex to spend time with me, the person who was a stranger days ago. It was all too confusing and without the nerve to ask him about it, I just wasn’t sure what I needed to do.
