ROMANCE: BAD BOY ROMANCE: Love Fight (Bad Boy College Alpha Male Romance) (Contemporary New Adult Romance Short Stories) (10 page)

Kimberly answered the door immediately when he knocked.  “Come in.”  She said, standing to the side.

He stopped by her and swept her into his arms.  Kissing her deeply, he kicked the door shut with his foot.

“You taste so good.”  He said coming up from the kiss.

She looked at him with the eyes he had seen so many times in the past.  Those eyes that were inviting him to take her, and he planned to do just that.

He pulled her over to the bed.  Taking off her clothes slowly, he devoured her body with his eyes for a few seconds.  Taking it all in, she was in great shape still.  He lowered his mouth to one of her breasts.  Loving the way she leaned into him as he bit on her nipple.

Trent heard the sharp intake of her breathing that meant she was very excited.  He lowered her onto the bed softly.  Looking down at her naked loveliness, he licked his lips in anticipation. 

Her eyes were bright with passion when he looked at her.  He lowered his mouth onto her sex.  Flicking her clitoris with his tongue he knew it drove her crazy!  She jumped up.

“Please Trent don’t tease me.”  She moaned loudly.

He snickered.  “Oh it would tease me just as much.  Trust me I’ve missed the taste of your pussy.”  He covered her mound again and bit lightly on her nub.  She screamed in pleasure.

Lapping up her slit he pushed his tongue in.  Holding it straight like it was a cock pushing into her vagina, she thrust her hips up onto his tongue. 

She grabbed his head as her climax hit her hard.  He licked up her juices and stuck his finger into her.  He knew he could make her cum again.

Kimberly screamed out as her orgasm thrashed over her body.  Trent pushed his cock deep inside of her.  The moistness of her pussy wrapping its lovely arms around his prick, he moaned loudly. 

“I don’t think I can last long.”  He warned.

“That’s fine we have the rest of our lives together.”  She said.

He stopped and looked down at her a question in his eyes.

“Yes I will marry you, if the offer is still open.”  She commented.

“You know it is.”  He said.

“Then Mr. Jonas you have the rest of our lives together to make love to me.  I don’t care how long you last this time.  Just love me.” 

Trent didn’t need another word from her.  He thrust into her pussy hard and fast.  Letting the wet walls of her snatch hold his cock tightly.  He moaned out as his orgasm took him over the edge.  Trent smiled as he felt her pussy walls quake and her moan as she climaxed.

“I love you.”  Trent said as he rolled over beside her on the bed.

“I love you too.”  Kimberly said to him.

He wrapped her in his arms.  As he pulled her close he knew the world was perfect now.  He didn’t care what happened tomorrow.  His decision of saving her and not informing anyone about their connection was his choice. 

Falling asleep he woke up a few hours later.  Kissing her forehead he got up.  “I have to set an alarm to get up early enough to get home and be ready.” 

“Be ready for what?”  She asked.

“The Captain called me in for a meeting at 0900.”

“Trent why did you do it, your career is on the line now?” 

“Honey I would do it again every time I was asked.  I wouldn’t trust your life in anyone’s hands but mine.  If I get kicked out so be it.”  Trent answered honestly.

She kissed him as he lay down beside her.  “You have really changed.” 

“No I just realized finally what was important to me.  It took some growing up to do, but I’ve had plenty of time to learn.” 

He pulled her close again and they were soon fast asleep once more.  The alarm woke him in the morning. 

“I’m sorry love.  I have to go get ready.”  Trent said kissing her.

Her eyes were still full of sleep.  “Good luck.” 

“I don’t need luck anymore.  I just wanted it for yesterday to make sure I kept you safe.”

He walked out the door to go to his house and prepare for his meeting.  Really there wasn’t much he had to do.  Trent would take a shower and make sure his dress uniform was pressed nicely.  But as far as thinking of what to say, there was nothing he needed to do. 

Trent could only wish for the best. He walked into the office.

“Hey Melissa I have an appointment with the Captain.”  Trent went up to the receptionist.

“He’ll be right with you.” 

So it was serious enough that she wouldn’t even say my name, he thought to himself.  His mind raced thinking of what he could do once he was out of the military.  The time is coming quickly, he told himself. 

Well it wasn’t like he was old.  He’d gone in when he was 18 years old.  Just last month he had turned 46 years old.  He could use the money of the GI Bill to go to college.  Or he could even get a private job with a security agency or maybe the CIA.  Plenty of past Seals had moved on to a position in the government.  They still got the fun of adventure once in a while too.

Trent shook his head.  “No dangerous jobs.  I can’t do that to Kimberly ever again.”  He said to himself.

He saw Melissa look up.  “Excuse me did you say something?”  She asked him.

“No sorry, I was just thinking out loud.”  Trent stated.

The phone on her desk buzzed.  He watched her answer it and shake her head yes.  She looked up at him and said.  “He’s ready for you now.”

Trent got up and went in the door.  Saluting the Captain he said.  “Sir, Senior Petty Officer Jonas reporting.” 

The Captain saluted him back and told him to sit down.  Looking down at his desk and the paperwork in front of him, he sighed.  “I think you know why we are here, right?”

“Yes sir I know why.”  Trent answered.

“Well what do you have to say?”  The Captain asked.

“Honestly sir I would do it again.  If it was her that was captured and she was in danger, I would go in an instant.  I can’t count on another person to save her.  I love her and I would die to protect her.  I think this is the best attitude to have for any mission.  If you know that you would die to protect the person you’re trying to save, how can you go wrong?  You’re going to make sure everything is done just right.  You’ll watch to make sure no mistakes are made.  Sir you would go above and beyond your duty to get the mission completed successfully.”  Trent said.

The Captain studied him and shook his head up and down as he processed what was said.  “Son I know your right.  I honestly do.  It wasn’t me who put this policy in place though.  If it was strictly up to me I would get rid of this and say go about your duty.  But it isn’t me and more than just this office has been involved here.  What I’m saying is we have two choices here.  One you can retire now and earn your pension for 25 years of service.  I’m sorry but they don’t add anything to the amount you would receive between 25 and 28 years.  So you will be losing a bit of money in the long run.  But our other choice is to court marital you, and I would rather not do that.  If you retire you’ll get an honorable discharge that’s the other good thing about doing it that way.” 

He took a deep breath.  “I knew it would probably be something like this.  But Sir I can’t lie and say that I wouldn’t do it again.  Because anytime that it might come up again I would be right there with the rest of the platoon.  I would make sure my wife came back safely.”  Trent stated.

“What do you mean your wife?”  The Captain asked honestly shocked.

“Well she’s not my wife yet.  But she will be she accepted my proposal last night.” 

“So it wasn’t just a passing fancy?  Well let me see if I can do something.  I might have an idea.”  The Captain stated he looked deep in thought.

“Yes sir, what would you like me to do?”  Trent asked.

“Could you wait outside for a bit?” 

“I don’t have any other plans sir.”  Trent walked out to sit down and wait.  He wondered what the Captain was thinking of trying. 

He wanted to call Kimberly to hear her voice.  But he was too nervous and didn’t know what to say to her.  Then he knew the perfect thing to do.  He pulled out his phone and dialed her number.

On the second ring he heard her voice.  He smiled she sounded lovely.  “Hello sweetheart, I just wanted to call to tell you I love you.”  Trent said to her.

He could hear her smile.  “Trent, oh I love you too.  So what happened?”  She asked sounding anxious to know what was happening with him.”

“I don’t know the Captain sent me out of his office.  He said he had an idea and was going to try something.”  Trent told her.

“Well maybe this is a good sign?  I’ll keep my fingers crossed.”  She said.

“I thought you said this was too dangerous, you didn’t want me doing it anymore?”  Trent asked her.

“I was serious when I told you last night.  Well I guess I didn’t finish the thought, I hung before that.”  She sighed.  “It was never fair for me to ask that of you Trent.  Yesterday I saw what you were like on a mission.  I knew at that moment that you cared if you came home.  You just didn’t know how to tell me.  I should have figured that out a long time ago.”  She said.

“How could you know if I never told you?”  He asked, wanting to admit his part in the past wrong doings.

“You did tell me.  When you were talking about your mother and how she was to you.  If I had really listened I would have known why you held back with me.  I mean you told me you loved me, but why you never wanted to do more.  She made you scared to commit when you love someone.  It hit me yesterday.  I think I was more shocked at that realization then that you saying you loved me.  Why I hadn’t seen that before is because I never saw you on a mission.  I never listened to you when you told me you were safe.  Seeing you out there and watching you.  I could tell that you believed that with every inch of your heart.  I always thought you were just placating me, but you weren’t.  I don’t want you to quite something you love.”  Trent could hear her crying as she was talking.

A weight felt like it had been lifted off his chest.  Trent hadn’t even realized that was what he had been doing in the past.  “You know I never knew I was doing it for that reason.  But your right I was doing that.”  He took a deep breath.  “But if they don’t kick me out or let me retire early, I don’t know if I’ll be able to transfer to your station.”  He stated.

“Baby, I’ll move here to you.  I can easily do this, remember my dad is still good friends with the right people.”  She stated.

Trent smiled.  “You are really the greatest girl who a guy could ever find.  How the hell did I miss out on these last 20 years?  Sometimes I am such an idiot!”  He laughed.

Kimberly laughed on the other side of the phone.  He had to wonder if the Captain was an acquaintance of Kimberly’s dad.  For the first time since yesterday he felt like his chances of staying in the military was good.

“You are an idiot at times dear.  I love you though idiot part and all!”

Trent looked up as he heard Melissa’s phone buzz.  “Hey I think I have to go.  I love you and I’ll call you soon!”

“Okay love you too Trent!”  He heard her say as he took the phone away from his ear.

“He would like to see you again.”  Melissa said to Trent.

He got up and entered the Captain’s office.  “Sit down Senior Petty.”  The Captain said.

Trent took a seat.  His stomach clinched up on itself.  He hadn’t been this nervous since he had first asked Kimberly out.

“You know this meeting could have been a lot shorter if you had told me about you and Ms. Sanks engagement.”  The Captain looked at Trent seriously.

“I’m sorry sir; I didn’t realize it might have benefits at that point.”  Trent admitted.

The Captain smiled and said.  “He said Kimberly had told him that when she talked to him last night.”  He laughed.  “Jake and I have been buddies since our days at the Academy together.  Your fine no problems and the rules are being rewritten as of now. “

What are you kidding me?  She knew when I talked to her it would be okay.”  Trent shook his head.

“No she didn’t Jake told me that he wouldn’t interfere in this unless you told me something.  He wasn’t taking any steps to help.  He said Kimberly wouldn’t have it any other way.  He also told me that she said to tell you that you would understand that statement now.” 

He shook his head.  “Yes sir I do understand it.  I know I have the greatest wife in the world.  It won’t be a long wait either.  I love that woman.” 

Trent walked out of the office and headed straight to Kimberly.  She was waiting outside for him and as he approached she ran to him and jumped in his arms. 

“Hey watch the PDA
lieutenant
.”  He stated.

“Hell with those rules, we’ll get them changed one day if we can!  Plus I’m not in uniform.  I just look like the wife who is very happy to see her husband home.  Now come in because I’m going to welcome you home in another way.”  Kimberly pulled him in through the door and shut it behind them!

                                                       
THE END

Desired by the biker

Derrick Jonas slowed down as the figure grew closer in the distance.  It was a nasty night out, hell if he wasn’t trying to get away so badly he wouldn’t even be out on a night like this.  The rain was coming down in folds, as if the skies had opened up and a bucket was being poured down to earth.  Why was this person out on the side of the road on a night like this?  Derrick wasn’t positive until he was almost stopped and about 20 feet from the figure that it was actually a person and not simply a figment of his imagination.

              “What are you doing out here?”  He said, looking at the soaked figure in front of him.  Her hair was long and brown; it was wet, hanging over her eyes.  Derrick looked closer at her, he barely could make out her dark brown eyes, but he saw fear in them.             

              “Hey, are you okay?”  He asked her, walking towards her now that he had parked his bike.

She looked up finally, realizing there was another person with her now.  Derrick saw a small spark of fear in her eyes, and she began to back up.

              “I’m not going to hurt you.  It’s okay.  Come on; let’s get out of this weather.”  He waited to move toward her though. 

It took a few minutes before she seemed to decide he was okay.  But she didn’t move towards him, instead her shoulders slumped in and she began to fall forward.  Derrick moved quickly to make sure she didn’t fall, grabbing her a second before she sunk into the wet floor of the waiting ground.   He picked her up and carried her to his bike. 

              “Look I’m going to need you to hang onto me so you don’t fall off.”  He looked into her eyes, waiting for some kind of response that she understood.  She shook her head, but he wasn’t sure, so instead of putting her behind him, he placed her in front of him.

Derrick started up the bike, hoping that there was some shelter coming up soon.  This girl looked soaked to death, and scared along with it.  There was a little part of his mind screaming out, don’t take her anywhere, leave her there, let whatever will happen, happen.

It was the good guy in him that won out in the end though, the one that had been hidden for many years now.  But there was no way he would be able to continue down the road, leaving this helpless young woman there, without help, or shelter.

As he drove his mind kicked into overdrive, and he began to wonder.  The questions came at him with a force so great; he almost had to yell out for them to stop.  Who is she?  Why is she out there near the forest, on the side of the road?  What is she so scared about?  Too many questions and no time to ask them, at least not right now, maybe later.

He saw the hotel come out of the tapestry of rain as he got a few miles up the road.  Derrick began to pull over and felt the girl tense up a bit.  “I have to stop; it is too dangerous to drive right now.”  The rain had begun to come down even harder in the past few seconds.  Derrick knew his bike well enough, and his skills to know that there was no way that what he was doing was safe.

The girl shook her head in response.  Derrick pulled in and got off the bike, then lifted her, setting her on the ground.  She stood on her own, though a bit precariously.  He wrapped his arm around her slight frame and felt her body tremble. 

              “Come on; let’s get out of the rain and cold.”  He pulled her towards the restaurant that was beside the hotel.  Even though he really wanted a bed and some much needed sleep, he knew this girl would think he was trying to do something bad to her.

The waitress placed them near the back of the restaurant, which was perfect for Derrick.  He loved being out of the way, away from where he could easily be spotted.  When the waitress came back for their order, Derrick got them both some coffee.  The girl looked like she needed something to help warm up her body, and Derrick knew that and the caffeine were something he would be able to handle as well.

              “So you want to tell me what you were doing out there?”  Derrick said looking into the dark brown eyes of his unknown guest.

As she sat there, he studied her more closely.  Her face was nice, but she wasn’t striking, however, there was a strange pull in his body.  Her mouth was small and pleasant; it was also a bit crooked.  There were many contradictions to her.  A mixture of beauty, and something else he couldn’t quite put his finger on.  At least that was the only thing Derrick could compare how she looked. 

Maybe she had been hit in the past, and those were old scars that had healed, leaving a permanent mark on her skin, and her soul.  But Derrick still waited for her to answer, until that point it was all just guesses.

Her voice was so low when she started talking Derrick almost missed it.  Thought it was the music playing from the juke box, or anything else, except her voice.

              “He left me there.  He said he was done with me once and for all, that I would never see him again.”  Tears began to stream down her face.  She stopped talking and just looked as the tears rolled; there was no sound with the tears though. 

Derrick knew that state, it was one where you had cried so much about an event that you had no emotion left, but the tears just wouldn’t stop.  He wished he could hug her, comfort her even, but knew it would be too forward.

Instead Derrick looked down at the table and allowed his mind to float back to the time in his life that had been normal.  It seemed like a lifetime ago, even though it had only been a few years.  Those years he had been happy, living a normal life, one that had him smiling each and every morning he woke up.  He would gladly go back to those days, but they were too far away now. 

It hit him like it did every time he would think back, the pain and anguish was always quick to replace the feeling of happiness he would first feel when he thought back.  Now it was a mixture of shame, anger, grief, depression, and a bit more anger in the mix.

Had he done it differently, would he be where he was right now?  It was part of the overall process of his grieving during this memory.  He thought he had considered every option there was in this situation, but maybe the right one hadn’t come to his mind yet.  So he would scour every recess of his mind to think of the other things that he might have done all those years ago. 

What would he do with that new plan though?  It wasn’t like he could turn back time and go to that one fatal night.  No so why did he do it each and every time?  Derrick often chastised himself about this type of thinking, but he would never change the pattern.  Each time he would do this to himself, each and every step was the same, however, that didn’t mean he ever stopped it.

If he sat long enough he could see her long brown hair flowing behind her as they rode in the car.  She was so beautiful, so much of his heart belonged to her, that after all this time just the memory of her would make it ache.  Tears threatened to escape from his eyes, but he would stop them.  It had been too long; he shouldn’t even waste his time on this.  But he had to do it.

She had turned to smile at him and say something; he had looked over at her too.  Taken his eyes off the road, only for a split second, but that had been long enough.  Derrick tried to turn the memory off, stop it; he didn’t want to see anymore. 

He cleared his mind, and looked up at the girl sitting across from him.  He wondered what her story was, why had this guy simply left her on the side of the road.

Derrick took a deep breath in, trying to stop the memory that was trying to push the way to the front of his mind.  He couldn’t do it right now, there was no way.  He wasn’t ready to live the rest of that night, not right here, not now.  It took him several minutes to compose himself enough that he could look up at her once again.

He looked up and saw her brown eyes, shinning, and staring right at him.  She was studying him, he felt raw and open, like she could see into his inner core.  He felt a blast of quick shame, and looked down to shake his head once again. 

There weren’t many people who would ever see that part of him, in fact he couldn’t think of one.  But he had not been paying attention.  Had wanted to give her the time she needed to think of her pain, relive her past.  Derrick had taken too long in his own past though, and she had finished hers.  After all it was much fresher for her, it had happened recently, today even. 

I know how this feels, Derrick thought to himself.  Maybe I can help her.  But he knew he shouldn’t do it.  Instead he should simply pay for her coffee, give her a few dollars and leave her there.  She would eventually find her way back to wherever she was from.  It really wasn’t his problem, and he should just stay out of it.

But he looked back up at her, and saw the flash of pain in her eyes.  Was it for him or for her?  He wasn’t sure.  But he saw the compassion that also came across her eyes.  It had been so long since he had seen that look.  It made him tingle inside.  The good guy in him won the battle at that very moment.  He wouldn’t be able to walk away and ever live with himself.  It would be too much on what already weighed deeply on his soul.

              “What is your name?”  He asked her.  Finally bringing his mind around enough that he could focus on the reality of what was in front of him.

              “Mackenzie, Mac for short.”  She said.

Derrick studied Mac a bit closer.  He still saw a little bit of fear in her eyes, but not near as much, now that they were inside.    “That’s an odd nickname for a girl.”

              “I grew up with three brothers and they treated me like a boy too.  So needless to say they gave me a boy’s name.  It stuck through the years, and I’m so used to it I never changed it.

              “Why were you out on the road?”  Derrick asked, trying to not push her too quickly. Hoping he could learn enough about her that he would know he was making the right choice.

She looked down for a second, he knew that look, it was the one where you were trying to consider what parts of a story to share, and what to hold back.  He watched her take a deep breath, and look up.  It had been his turn to study, he knew how to read people well, he had always known, but had gotten much better at it in these past years.

              “I wanted too much from him.  He wasn’t willing to give it, he’s a bad man.  He really is, but I thought I could change him.  I should have listened, should have stopped pushing.  But I didn’t learn.  It was too much, too far, and he had enough of me.”  Mac said her eyes glazed over; Derrick was sure she was reliving the event.

              “But why did he leave you on the road?”  Derrick asked. 

              “I told him I wanted to get married.  If he didn’t marry me I was done with him.  I couldn’t do it anymore.”  Mac sighed.

Derrick looked down, anger flooded his body.  “That’s not a reason to leave you in the rain.”

              “He’s not a good man.  I already said that.  I knew it for many months now.  But I thought I could change him.”  Mac stated.  “But I guess it’s true you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”

              “I’m sorry.  I don’t know what to say.”  Derrick stated honestly.  He was never one who had lied much in the past.  So he found it difficult to know what to say to this young girl right now. 

              Mac began sobbing suddenly.  “I don’t know what I’m going to do.  Where will I go?  I have nothing left.”  She looked down at her hands, which she clinched, open and shut repeatedly.

Derrick took a deep breath in; he wasn’t sure what to do.  He could offer her pass with him on his bike?  But he didn’t need to invite another person into his life.  He did so much better alone.  His life wasn’t something that was normal.  He never stayed in one place for too long.

He looked up at Mac and she was still crying her tears flowing down her cheeks.  It broke his heart to see those tears, even though he didn’t know her.  But she really looked so helpless, so small, so scared at that second.

              “I guess you could go along with me for a bit.  Decide somewhere you want to go and stay there.  That’s really all I can offer.”  Derrick stated, trying to make it sound like a bad decision for her to make.  After all, if she was the one who refused, he wasn’t to blame from there.  He had offered, and she had declined.  That would soothe his soul a bit for the moment.

              “Really, but you don’t know me.”  Mac said, her eyes showing a glimmer of hope.

              “Yes.”  Derrick said slowly.  Wishing he could just take the offer back.  But the truth of the matter was deep inside he was too soft.  Always had been especially when it came to the fairer sex, he was easy to manipulate.

              “I have a little bit of money, so I can pay you some.  If I can go to the bank, I have some more.”  Mac said.  Her eyes seeming to get brighter as she thought about the offer that had come from him, and that she was going to now agree too.

              “That’s fine.”  He said.

              “Where are we going?”  She asked.

              “Honestly I hadn’t thought about yet.  I normally just go until I feel like stopping.”  Derrick answered.

              “Hmm, well that’s okay.”  She said her eyes began to get a wistful look.  One that said she had always dreamed of having this type of adventure.

              “Are you hungry?”  Derrick finally asked.  His stomach had growled to let him know that he hadn’t fed it today.
