Sterling Shore: Tagged And Ashed Part 8

A bitter, possibly self-loathing sigh tears out of her lips.

"Like I said, I was young. He was my first real boyfriend, so it's not like I knew any better. I was going to college and had just started my own business in my apartment that Billy helped me get. He kept telling me Dyllan was bad news, but I thought he was just being overprotective.

"After we had s.e.x the first time, I asked him to stay the night. He said he wanted to, but couldn't because he had an early meeting. He was six years older than me, had a job outside of Sterling Sh.o.r.e, and he claimed to work late hours, so I didn't question it. I went out after he left to sort of celebrate my moment of deflowering with Billy - though I didn't tell him that.

"While we were at the bar, I saw Dyllan walking in with a woman on his arm. She was blond, pale, elegant... everything I wasn't. I stared in shock, and then I saw the ring on his finger along with the two rings on hers. From there, I remember throwing up, Billy carrying me out, and Dyllan chasing behind us as he promised to leave his wife.

"I'll never forget the heartbroken tears that fell from her eyes as she stared in as much shock as I was in. Before I hyperventilated to the point of pa.s.sing out, I remember Billy punching Dyllan in the face and leaving him in the street like the piece of s.h.i.+t he was."

I honestly don't know if I've ever had a conversation this deep with anyone, and from the tears in her eyes, I'm a.s.suming this isn't something she normally shares. It makes me want to find this guy and beat the h.e.l.l out of him.

"I'm sorry," I murmur while slipping my arm around her waist and pulling her to me.

She shrugs, never letting the first tear fall, and then she sits up, trying to look composed and unscathed by her truth.

"Name the most scared you've ever been in your life," she says, changing the subject.

"When I thought I was going to be a father," I say through a nervous chuckle, and she frowns a little, realizing she just wasted a turn.

"What about you?" I ask while brus.h.i.+ng her hair from her face.

"I was afraid you were going to ask that," she sighs. "Um, it actually happened a few months ago. I kept having someone call me from a blocked number, threatening me, watching me. They knew everything I was doing at all times of the day. I thought it was Evan - my last boyfriend - so Billy went over to his house and started a fight.

"Unfortunately, Billy got his a.s.s kicked, then got arrested, and while he was there, I got another call proving it wasn't Evan. I bailed Billy out, changed my number, and changed my apartment as well. Evan dropped the charges against Billy when he found out what was going on. He even offered to help me find out who it was.

"The calls stopped, though, and so did all the weird flower deliveries, notes, and other creepy things. I suppose whoever it was grew bored."

"That's a little f.u.c.ked up. Are you sure it's over?"

She shrugs, hiding her true anxiety. "I hope so. My turn again. What's the best date you've ever had?"

I have to think about that. I can't remember having an actual date in the traditional sense, but I don't want to tell her that.

I stand up, smiling, and my shorts fall to the ground to bring a devilish grin to her face.

"That's sort of cheating, since you're not actually showing any new skin."

She's cute when she's irritated.

"My turn," I say while sitting back down. "What's the most intense o.r.g.a.s.m you've ever had?" I ask, knowing she'll shy away from the question now that I've learned about her a little more.

She blushes, just as I knew she would, and she stands up to turn her back on me as she pulls the strings to loosen her bikini top. She looks over her shoulder to give me a taunting gaze, and then she drops the top to the ground before walking over to the pool and diving in.

As.h.i.+ara I could have answered that, but I want to f.u.c.k him at this point. This game was supposed to end our flirtation and help me distance myself from the superficial guy I've been so inexplicably drawn to. Instead, I want him more now than ever.

"Nice," he says with an excited grin before standing up and diving in beside me.

I smile as drops of water splash me in the face, and I watch his slow ascent. He shakes his head to free his brow from his hair before running his hand through the wet strands.

"I think it's my turn now," I murmur with a sweet grin, feigning innocence.

"Only if I get a kiss first. You're hiding the good stuff under the water, disrupting the view. I think it's only fair I get at least a kiss."

Take more than a kiss.

"No kissing until you win the game," I murmur through a shaky breath, and he smiles as he takes a step toward me, his body looking just as perfectly clear through the water as it did on land.

He can see my chest just fine.

"Fine, next question," he says with mock frustration.

"Why did you want to spend so much time here?"

He sighs hard, and then his eyes fall back down to my chest. He looks torn at first, but then determination comes to life in his eyes as he takes another step towards me.

"My mom ran off when I was still in diapers, my dad is a drunken a.s.shole, and Melanie was my savior. Dad's favorite thing to do when I was younger was get drunk, invite his friends over, and jam out until the early hours of the morning. So, I would put myself to bed, block out the drunken music with my pillow, and then wake up on my own to get ready for school.

"With Melanie, she cooked me supper, laid my clothes out for me, and woke me up for school in the mornings. She even combed my hair for me when I was really young. Breakfast was always waiting. She'd help me with my homework. She even taught me how to drive. If it hadn't been for her, my life would have gone a lot differently."

My heart sinks to the ground as I wade over to be closer to him. Without thinking, I pull him down to meet my lips, and he responds by gripping me tightly around the waist, pulling at the strings on my bottoms.

"I'm sorry," I murmur against his lips while moving back.

His breath is shaky, but he lets me withdraw without protest.

"My turn. Tell me how you really feel about me," he murmurs while tugging me back to him in a rough motion.

How do I feel? Like I want to spend the rest of the weekend repeating the same mistakes.

Without letting my mind work, I pull the strings on my bikini bottoms and pull it to the surface to throw it over the side of the pool.

A daring, triumphant grin spreads over his face, and his lips crush mine as my legs wrap around his waist. For right now, I'm his to do with as he pleases.

Tag Her breath is hot, her grip is needy, and she's finally mine. I know she wants me now, and she's had her fun. Now it's my turn to f.u.c.k with her, make her have to have me, and take away her power so I can get back to being me instead of this pile of mush she has turned me into.

"Turn around," I command, and she does as I say. "Put your hands on the side of the pool."

She does it, and her tiptoes hold her in place as she grips the edge. She's going along with this almost too well, and my hard-as-f.u.c.k c.o.c.k is begging me to reconsider what I'm about to do.

"Whatever you do, don't move," I murmur while taking a breath and going under the water to pull her legs around my neck, putting myself between her body and the wall of the pool.

I press my lips to her most sensitive spot, and then I flick my tongue over her hardened little nub, making her tremble. I work faster, making harder strokes, and alternating between sucking, nibbling and licking as the chlorine takes away the taste I'm sure would be delicious.

I pick her up before I run out of air, and she clings to me when I turn us and lay her on the side of the pool. Her legs tense around my head as I work harder, my deliberate strokes owning her.

I feel her legs trembling more, and then I feel her body tighten as she grips my hair. As I feel her body's reaction and taste her a little more without the obnoxious chlorine overwhelming me, I work harder. She lets out a breath just before a beautiful moan, gasping as she finds her release. I bring her back into the water, pus.h.i.+ng myself against the wall, and holding her to me.

Her arms wrap around my neck, and her soft lips find mine with more need as her bare body presses against mine. As bad as I want to f.u.c.k her, I know I should stop - leave her desperate for more. I don't know if I can, though. I don't even have a condom with me right now.

She frees my c.o.c.k from my trunks without giving me a chance to think further, and her body disappears under the water as her mouth finds the tip. I know I should pull her up, but I can't.

Her lips slide over, her tongue twists and turns, but she doesn't take me fully. She's f.u.c.king with me. I tug at her head, and her lips slide to the base as she takes me in her mouth completely, making an unG.o.dly moan rumble deep in my chest.

My eyes roll back in my head as I revel in her wonderful ability to make me forget the world, but I jerk her up from her underwater-oral-a.s.sault and bring her wet lips back to mine.

She moans as she grabs my c.o.c.k in her hand, and her legs wrap around me as she pushes the top of it into her opening, inviting me to f.u.c.k her.

Our gentle kiss becomes more ravenous as I shove her back into the wall of the pool, and before I think too much, I surge in, feeling her tightness as I swell inside her.

Oh d.a.m.n. She feels too f.u.c.king good.

As.h.i.+ara I wanted to f.u.c.k him, and then he gave me an o.r.g.a.s.m - one which definitely climbed the charts to be my best ever. Apparently experience makes a guy pretty d.a.m.n incredible.

"Harder," I breathe as he takes his time, but he pulls out instead of going deeper.

My head pops up as confusion strikes, but then I hear the voices he must have already heard.

"Hey, Ash. You up?" Billy calls from just inside.

"s.h.i.+t," I whisper, and Tag laughs while jerking up his shorts and pulling himself out of the pool to grab my shorts and s.h.i.+rt. He shoves them under the cus.h.i.+ons of the lounge chair. Then he quickly tosses my bikini to me.

I duck under the water when I see Billy coming toward the pool, and I hold my breath, praying I can stay under long enough.

Tag Being inside her was the best feeling I think I've ever had. I couldn't just f.u.c.k her poolside because of a stupid bet. I can't f.u.c.k her without a condom either. I got lucky Bity showed up.

"Tag," Bity grumbles under his breath.

"What's up?" I murmur, heading away from the pool and drawing him inside so Ash can come up for air.

"I'm looking for Ash. You seen her?"

I prop up on the island in the kitchen as I pop a grape in my mouth from the fruit basket dressing the center.

"She's-"

Before I can finish, Rene pops in with a bit of a sour look.

"I didn't realize everyone was going to be gone today. Have you two been here alone all day?" she almost whimpers, showing her frigging obsession with me.

s.h.i.+t. f.u.c.k her already, Bity.

"Yeah, we went for a swim, and we were going to see about going to the beach," I murmur as I see Ash walking toward us with a towel wrapped around her.

"Hey," she murmurs softly, her eyes meeting mine briefly.

"Hey," I say back, knowing it wasn't me she was talking to.

She smiles, and I can see Bity's face distorting with anger.

"Ash, you could have went to town with Mom and Wren," he almost scolds.

"Actually, I thought I'd stay here - take in the view."

"I bet you did," Rene sardonically releases, jealously oozing out.

"Um. I'll see you guys later. I think the others should be back soon, and I need to grab a shower and change," I murmur as I walk by Ash, discreetly grabbing her a.s.s through the towel as I pa.s.s behind her.

She bites back a smile while clinging to her towel.

"Me, too. Catch you later, Billy?" Ash mutters so innocently.

"Yeah," he says dully.

I walk out and wait beside the wall for her to follow me.

She emerges, and I swirl her into my arms while bringing her in for a deep kiss as her body pushes against mine.

"Your room or mine?" she murmurs against my lips, and I smile in response.

"Neither. Rene is about to start stalking me again, and I'm sure Billy is going to come to your room to b.i.t.c.h. Let's meet up in a while, and I'll take you somewhere."

She almost pouts, which excites me to no end. She wants me bad now, almost as bad as I want her.

"Okay, so, later?" she asks awkwardly.

"Definitely later."

She finally smiles for real, and I kiss her again while taking her hand in mine. I lead her up the stairs, hoping I have the strength to let her go while she still wants me.

Chapter Four.

Biding Time As.h.i.+ara So later obviously meant much, much later.
