Accepted Fate (39 page)

"It's beautiful. It's perfect. You shouldn't have but I love it. This is the best birthday of my entire life." Holding the open box, she grabs my face and pulls me down to kiss her. "You're the best boyfriend a girl could have."

My heart engorges at hearing her call me her boyfriend for the first time. That is a big step for her. In this moment I know I would be lost without her. This is where I want to be; her man. I'll do anything it takes to make her fall in love with me. I kiss her over and over playfully, making her laugh with my bout of silliness. Grabbing the box from her hand, I remove the ring from the satin slit of the small velvet box. "Let me."

Taking her right hand, I hold out her ring finger and place the pink sapphire ring on her finger with my left hand. She is smiling from ear to ear as she watches me slide it up her finger into place. I love to see her smile. I'd pay anything to see that smile permanently implemented on her face; any amount of money. "This is the best gift I've ever gotten. Thank you."

She looks up at me with so much love in her eyes. It's evident and it makes my insides light on fire. Everything in the world is right when she's around. I can't explain it and I don't want to try. It's just one of those things that are best left unsaid because at the risk of trying to voice it out loud, you may make it sound less than what it actually is. "You're so welcome, baby. Anything for you."

I make sure she is looking at me. "I mean that. You know I'd do anything for you don't you?" She smiles lightly and looks around as if she is thinking it over. Grabbing her chin, I turn her back to me so that I make sure she gets what I am saying. "I would do anything for you Kinzleigh. I would take a bullet for you. I would walk through hell for you. I will spend the rest of my life protecting you, whether you ask me to or not. No matter where I am in this world, as long as I'm alive, I will always find my way back to you. You will always be the girl that has possession of my heart."

She closes her eyes and before she opens them I lean in to get a taste of her beautiful plump lips; the very ones that keep me going during the day and occupy my dreams at night. From now on this is what I live for; her. It makes me damn proud to know that no other man has had her like this. Running my hands up her smooth leg, I slip them underneath her shorts leg and reach the seam where her leg ends.

Her breathing amplifies the closer I get to the prized possession between her legs and she reaches for my button on my jeans. "We don't have to do this right now. This wasn't what I was expecting from you by giving you a gift. I can wait."

Smiling at me, she unbuttons and unzips my jeans. "Would you shut up already? It's my birthday and that means I get whatever I want. What I want is you. You asked me not to hold back with you if I remember correctly and I expect the same from you. Stop treating me like a porcelain doll. I said I trust you and I do. I want you to trust me as well. I'm ready."

Just when I don't think I can fall anymore, she goes and blows me away. Who am I to deny my birthday girl what she wants? I would never deny her anything. I couldn't. It's not in my DNA. Grasping the back collar of my shirt, I pull it over my head. She runs her hands up my stomach. "I love your body. I miss feeling it pressed to mine." I know exactly what she means.

Bending down, I insert my fingers under the waistband of her cotton shorts and slide them down her legs. Once off, she wraps her tiny legs around me, pulling me toward her so I can't look anywhere but her face. Sitting up, she raises her arms above her head giving me a hint of what she wants. Not wasting a single second, I remove her t-shirt. She's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in all eighteen years of my life and I have a feeling that won't change with age. She is wearing a long camisole underneath her t-shirt. "You leave me speechless each time I see you."

She is wearing lavender lace underwear with obviously a matching bra by the straps lying beside her camisole straps. It looks amazing against her smooth, tanned skin but it doesn't do justice compared to her completely bare. I'm about to remove her camisole when she stops my hand. "Leave it on for now. I have a surprise for you later when we're alone." I don't question her even though it makes me curious. Leaning into her, I kiss her and pull the straps of her bra and camisole down her arms, revealing her breasts to me. She lets me pull it down to rest on her ribcage and places her palms against my back, pulling our torso's flush with one another. "Touch me." I smile at her moment of courage to tell me what she wants.

"Tell me what you want from me baby. Where do you want me to touch you? Here?" I touch her shirt covered stomach. She shakes her head and bites her lip. "Here?" I cup her breast in my hand. She closes her eyes and arches underneath my touch. Touching my lips to her skin, she makes the slightest noise as she lays her head against the mattress. I've never been so turned on by a girl since I first saw one naked in a playboy magazine when I hit puberty. She tops them all.

She shakes her head again. Continuing kisses along her chest, I place my thumb on the outside of her panties, between her legs. "Right here?" I lightly brush my thumb up and down where her folds lie. She nods and tightens her hold around me.

"Please stop teasing me. You can do that another day. I've waited long enough. You're all I've thought about since that day at my house. Please don't make me wait anymore. I want you in every way I can have you." Hearing her beg like this turns me on more than it should. Hooking my finger underneath the fabric of her panties, I pull them down her legs in one swift move.

Pulling a condom from my pocket, I lean in to kiss her. Placing her hands atop my butt, she slides my jeans and boxers down until the band is beneath my butt cheeks. She then hooks them between her toes and pushes them the rest of the way down. She grabs the back of my head, bringing me to meet her lips.

"I am not ready to say that to you yet, but know that I care. I care more than you could imagine. I care so much that it scares me. You're the one that got my attention where no other guy has before. My heart aches for you. I wish I could say it but I have to be sure. I will not throw that word around so if I say it, you'll know that I mean it with everything inside of me. My heart wants you though; right now in this moment. For how much longer, I'm not sure, but I'm willing to follow its lead. Just give my brain time to catch up with my heart, okay?" My heart skips a beat. I've learned that she isn't good with saying how she feels. The fact that she is telling me this now is epic.

I can't stand it any longer. I have to be inside her. I've made myself wait long enough to prove I can do it, but this is where I need to be. The raw, consuming emotions are too much without us being connected to share them. Rolling the condom on, I lay just above her staring into her eyes. I can't look away. Rubbing her bottom lip with my thumb now free, I say, "I would wait an eternity for you." I slip inside at the same moment my lips touch hers. Heaven on earth; If I had to compare this moment to one thing, that's the closest I could get. I still, giving her a minute to get used to the invasion. "Are you okay?

She nods and releases a breath. "Damn baby you feel so good. I don't think I will ever get used to how it feels being inside you. You're so tight. I won't last long; even wearing a condom. You're mine Kinzleigh. I can't give you to any other man. I won't give you to someone else. I need you to say that you're mine." I begin to move slowly, inching in and out the slick opening. She opens her mouth, but nothing comes out. "Say it. I need you to say it. I need to hear it like my life depends on it."

"I've always been yours. Since the day I first saw you on the beach. I will always be yours, whether I like it or not." I now feel territorial and I'm getting close. I feel like a damn amateur inside her. I need to fulfill her need before I meet my own. Rolling over, I pull her on top of me. She's completely bare except for her shirt covering her torso. I continue to kiss her and taste her. She's beautiful above me. Her curly hair falls forward, curtaining our faces as she leans down to kiss me.       

Taking hold of her by the hips, I begin rocking her back and forth; hitting the place I know she needs. I can tell she gets more comfortable being on top by the sounds that she is making. She fists my pectorals and arches, releasing my lips. "Baby, I need you to let go. I can't hold on any longer. You're too tight and you keep clenching around me. It feels utterly fucking blissful." I continue to rock her back and forth, slightly harder and I can feel her let go when she starts to pulsate with me inside her. As soon as she does, I follow behind her. I can't hold out any more. Grabbing her by the neck, I pull her down to me. "I love you baby. I love you with all my heart." She has ruined me. No other girl will ever come close to comparing to her. That I know for sure.

A knock sounds at the door and Kinzleigh's eyes get as big as saucers. "Dude are y'all coming? We need to leave. Adalynn is ready to go and everyone is going to be waiting on us at Red Creek." It's Braxton.

"We'll be right out. Give me five minutes." I know I probably sound completely obvious from my post orgasmic voice, but I try my best to cover it. Kinzleigh gets up and goes in search of her clothes. I enjoy the view for a moment of her bare butt as she walks away from me pulling her shirt back up. Standing up and pulling on my jeans, I walk into the bathroom to discard of the condom. When I get to the toilet, I realize the condom broke. "Fuck!"

Kinzleigh comes up behind me, now dressed, and wraps her arms around my waist. "What's wrong?" Turning around she has a worried expression on her face.

I take her face in my hands and kiss her on the lips. "I just noticed the condom broke. It caught me off guard." I'm secretly freaking the fuck out but I cannot let her see it. Her breathing picks up and I remember what Presley said about her having panic attacks. "Has that ever happened before?" She sounds anxious.

"Look at me and stay with me; don't freak out. The condom had spermicide all over it. I never buy them without it. No, it has never happened before. I always buy the best possible brand and I have never and I repeat, ever, had sex without a condom or cumed inside of another girl, even with a condom on. You are the only girl I have had sex with and not pulled out."

She starts biting her nails and looking down at the floor. "What do I need to do? Was it something I did wrong?" She is completely serious and it's not just an act like some girls do when pretending in an attempt to trap a guy.

The girl continues to peel away my layers, one by one. I kiss her long and hard. I can't get enough. When I think I can distance myself long enough to do everyday activities, I realize I can't. "No you did not do anything wrong. It just happened. It should be fine. Like I said, it is covered in spermicide. I'll just be more careful. Don't worry okay? Trust me, yeah?" She nods and wraps herself around me, laying her cheek against my bare chest.

She is my priority. I won't allow anything to come between us. I need her like I need water. I want her like I want football and I'll do anything to keep her. "Come on. Let's go have some fun. We have some birthdays to celebrate. We're both officially adults. I've been waiting to go riding out at Red Creek. You have to be eighteen without an adult."  

We pull up at Red Creek and everyone that has already turned eighteen is already waiting just beyond the entrance. After waiting in line a while, we get to the gate to pay the riding fees. The attendant walks over to the window. "Photo ID's please." Reaching in my back pocket, I pull out my wallet and remove my license from behind the clear pocket it resides in. Looking over at Kinzleigh she pulls hers out as well, handing it to me. "You reserving for the day or overnight?" The older gentleman looks down at our license as he jots down information on his sheet of paper.

"Just for the day; riding the trails," I say as he looks up and tells me how much I owe him. Pulling the money from my wallet, I hand it to him in exchange for our photo ID's. As he hands me the parking pass, he looks at Kinzleigh. "Happy birthday Miss. You've come to the right place to celebrate. Drive forward and you will see where to park and unload. Have a good day." He steps back to let us pass. 

Once I park, I hop out of the truck and walk to the back, dropping the tailgate down. Placing the ramps on the flat surface, I jump up into the bed of the truck to unload the four wheeler. I turn around to make sure Kinzleigh is out of the way before I back it out. She has taken a place beside Adalynn. "Stay there until I'm unloaded okay? Just in case the ramps slip. I don't want you to get hurt." She nods and backs up.

I straddle the ATV and become all red-blooded male as the roar of the engine comes to life. I love my four wheeler. It's a canary yellow Honda Foreman with black rims, mud tires and a suspension kit, enhanced with a snorkel for mud riding to keep the engine from flooding. Braxton has one to match in bright red and Briar in hunter green. We got them for our fifteenth birthday and trucks the following year.

I shift into reverse and back up slowly until the tires reach the top of the ramps. Once the wheels tip over the edge, I let it roll the rest of the way down, slowly, pressing the brake as I inch down the ramps and stop once I'm on the ground. Up shifting to neutral I get off and throw the ramps into the back of the truck, shutting the tailgate.

I look over to Adalynn, who is bent over into the side of Braxton's truck. "Hey Adalynn," I call out loudly. She turns to look at me. "Did you bring Kinzleigh a change of clothes?" Kinzleigh looks confused.

Adalynn gleams from ear to ear and winks at me. "Sure thing. Let's do this. Kinzleigh, you're going to need these." Kinzleigh looks at her and she tosses her a pink ball cap and hair tie, along with a pair of sneakers to replace her flip flops.

Kinzleigh catches each item one by one. When she looks over at me, I can tell she has no idea what we're about to do. I told her to dress comfortable but she has no idea she is going to be drenched in mud from head to toe. Time to southernize my little California angel. "Why do I need a change of clothes?"
