ROMANCE: The Bad Boy Meeting (3 page)

The next morning, she awoke to find most of her friends sleeping. She tiptoed out of her room and through the hallway into the main area, where Jack and Madison had passed out on the carpet, obviously unable to make it to their respective bedrooms. Much to her surprise, she found Benjamin in the kitchen, staring intently at the coffee machine. He looked up at the sound of her approach. “Oh hey. Glad you’re here. Could you help me make this?” he asked.

Jessica shrugged. “If you’ll do one thing for me.” She replied as she joined him in the kitchen and proceeded to brew each of them a cup of coffee.

He shrugged. “Whatever you want.”

A mischievous smile spread across her face. “You’re going to regret you said that.” She replied.

Three hours after having left, a note for the others, explaining that they were going exploring and that they should go on their own adventures without the two of them, they found themselves standing in front of a huge clearing, effectively in the middle of nowhere.

“What the hell, Jessica?” Benjamin breathed as he turned about himself, gazing at the small, eerily symmetrical clearing in the middle of the forest. The soil looked like it had been burnt to s crisp, while the trees surrounding the clearing had oddly black trunks.

Jessica smiled. It was just the kind of adventure she needed. “I don’t know.” She shrugged. “But this is amazing.”

“Where are the birds?” Benjamin asked as he titled his head back and stared at the sky.

Jessica furrowed her brow. He was right. Where were the birds? The forest, which was usually brimming with sounds was completely silent. Just when she was beginning to think that the Australian beauty had not been bluffing, the ground began to shake. She stared down at her feet, which vibrated before her eyes. Her stomach lurched as the shaking began to increase. “Do you feel that?” she screeched at Benjamin, but when she looked up, she could see that Benjamin had already turned his back to leave. “Benjamin!” she screeched.

He stopped in his tracks and turned around to face her. “Did you not hear me? I said, ‘let’s go,’!” he yelled back at her.

Jessica nodded. She had exhausted her adventurous streak for the remainder of the day. However, as soon as she tried to take another step, she felt the ground lurch beneath her. She came crashing down, her hands, which she threw in front of her to catch her fall digging deep into the muddy center of the ground. She grunted at this, wincing at the scabs on her exposed knees. But when she looked up, she found that Benjamin had already made it three yards ahead of her. “Wait!” she screeched.

At the sound of that, he turned, his frightened eyes widening at the sight of her still sitting in the mud. “Jessica!” he screamed, his voice barely carrying over the sound of the dress swaying dangerously severely on either side. She looked up, her stomach churching at the sight. It looked as if the very skies were going to crash down onto her. Her heart leapt into overdrive, her frighten blood boiling, the thin liquid passing quickly through her veins, as she tried her best to stand up.

Yet, before she could take another stop, the ground lurched once again and she tripped over her own feet. A yelp slipped from her lips as she crashed onto the ground, blood oozing from the wound on her knees. Out of the corner of her eye, she looked up to find Benjamin rushing towards her. “Jessica!” he roared.

“Don’t worry. I’m fine.” She grunted as tied to stand up again.

“Wait, watch out!” she heard Benjamin yell.

She instinctively turned her gaze up to the sky just in time to witness a trunk snap in half. The sound of it echoed through the forest, mixing in with the low rumble of the ground lurching beneath her. “Oh my God!” she screamed as she turned in the opposite direction and leapt into a run, her legs propelling her forward so quickly that her feet flitted above the ground. She pushed through the trembling to get away from the tree.

Just when she thought she simply could not run anymore she jumped, throwing herself as far out of its path as she could possibly get. Her stomach slammed against the mud just as the tree crashed down behind her.

The trembled continued, lightly, only for a moment longer, before it eased to a halt. Panting, she sat up to assess the damage. “What is all of this?” she breathed. She found herself completely holed in. Massive trees, branches and unearthed roots were strewn all over the ground. She stood up, but could barely see over the barrier. “Benjamin!” she called. “Benjamin, are you all right?”

There was a long, heartbreaking pause, before. “Yes! Yes I am!”

Jessica let out a sigh of relief. “Okay.” She breathed. “Okay, but I’m stuck. You have to go find someone to help me.”

“No, I can-“

“Ben!” she snapped. “I am stuck between about a billion branches and trees. You are not going to be able to get through this yourself. Go get help.” She ordered.

There was another pause, during which Jessica imagined he was mulling over the idea of leaving her there without anyone to keep her company or make sure she stayed safe. She decided to crack a joke in order to urge him on. “Seriously, I’ll be fine. I’ve got some cigarettes and a lighter.”

“Okay,” he reluctantly yelled back. “But don’t worry, I’ll be back as soon as possible.” He replied.

Jessica listened to the sound of him leaving as she began to pace back and forth. Now that the earthquake had ceased the normal sounds of the forest resumed. She could hear birds calling, snakes slithering and the leaves rustling from the movements of countless insects. She did not think of the fact that there were going to be animals when she encouraged Benjamin to leave her completely alone. Yet, now that it was too late, the sound of nature happening around her, all but drove her insane. Just when she thought she would scream out in frustration, she decided to take a seat and about a million deep breaths.

When that wasn’t working she took out a pack of cigarettes and inhaled until she had smoked so many, she could barely keep her eyes open…

Jessica’s eyes flickered open to the sound of the wood in front of her being moved around. She immediately sat up, countless cigarette butts sliding off of her cargo pants. The forest had gone eerily silent again and she feared it might have just been because there was about to be another earthquake. Her brow furrowed as her stomach began to flutter nervously. If there was another earthquake, it would up set the ground even more and there would be no guarantee that Benjamin would be able to find his way back to her. The wood continued to move, the sound of it echoing throughout the silent air, but the ground did no begin to tremble.

Jessica pressed her back against the trunk that walled her in, staying as far away from the moving wood as possible, and murmured. “Ben?”

No one responded. She huffed out a deep sigh, her heart pounding against her chest and thin, reactionary tears of fear streaming down her cheeks. She was stuck in the middle of nowhere and now she was sure that a tiger was investing the effort to get through all of that wood just so that it could eat her alive. “Is anyone there?” she asked in a whimpering voice.

Just then, the final piece of trunk, lurched violently away from her, the wedge opening a space between her little nature-made cage and the rest of the forest. Yet, it wasn’t Benjamin, or the tiger that she had been expecting. It was a man.

Her eyes went wide. “Am I dreaming?” she whispered as she found herself standing face to face with one man. He was tall; almost seven feet and impossibly burley. He was like a giant, his taught, tanned skin, somehow glistening in the high afternoon sun. He looked more like a bronze statue than a human being as he stepped through the small walk-way that he had made with his bare hands, and approached her.

He shook his head. “There are no dreams here.”

Jessica found herself mesmerized by him. She gazed into his violet eyes, her heart fluttering in her chest. “What are you?” she asked.

“Did they not tell you of me?” he asked.

She shook her head.

At this, his chest expanded as he sucked in a deep breath so harsh that the leaves began to rustle because of it. Then, a roar escaped his lips, echoing out into the air as, right before Jessica’s eyes, two scaled wings forged their way out of his back and towered above his head, becoming almost as tall as the centuries-old trees. “Oh my God. This isn’t real. You’re not real.” She breathed.

He smirked as he approached her, his fanning wings dragging behind him. “I think you’re beautiful too.” With that, his eyes flashed an even deeper purple.

Jessica gasped. She felt a warm, wetness in between her legs, almost out of nowhere. Although he kept walking towards her, she willed him to stop because she wasn’t sure if she would be able to control herself if he actually propositioned himself.

But he did not.

“You saved me.” She breathed. She held her hand out in front of her, as if to tell him to stop walking and stay where he was. He took that as the opposite message.

He continued to approach her. “You were too beautiful to resist.” He replied as he took her hand in his.

She felt every hair on the face of her body stand on end as he wrapped his fingers around her hand. He pressed his body against hers. She could feel the heat of his skin seeping through her clothes. “You’re so hot.” She hissed as she tilted her head up and into him, her very base desire begging him to kiss her.

He chuckled, the insidious sound somehow managing to make her even more excited.

She shuddered as he pressed his lips against hers, her skin crawling at the sensation. She couldn’t believe this was happening, but she didn’t care anymore. After all, the man did say that there was no such thing as dreams there. He ripped her cargo pants off in one, swift movement, gracefully taking each of her thighs in his hands and lifting her so that she was straddling him.

She sighed, living the fact that she was now literally five feet in the air and at eye level with him. He thrust his tongue into her mouth, banging her against the wood until she had countless scratches, glorious scratches all over her back. He then gracefully laid her onto the soft mud, unbuttoning her sleeveless top and flinging it over her shoulder. She looked up at him, a smile lifting the edges of her lips at the sight of how amazingly massive he was. He sat up for a short moment allowing her to see his manhood, longer than any she had ever laid as eyes on.

She grunted as he penetrated her, the pleasure fanning all the way up to her lungs and all the way down to her toes. She screeched screams of ecstasy as he rammed himself into her, her hot breath showering her. She opened her eyes, gasping, at the fact that all the wood around her had caught flame. His hot breath was fire.

She screamed, half in fear and half in exhilaration as he continued to breathe fire.

She was having sex with the dragon god himself.

No sooner had that thought crossed her mind, than she began to climax, the sensation reverberating throughout her entire body. She clutched his arms, moaning as she lost all understanding of direction or sense of self.

As soon as she came down, an impossible wave of fatigue washed over her. She could no longer hold her eyes open. “Thank you.” She heard him say. “You have been most accommodating.”

“Wait,” she murmured, but when she opened her eyes, he was gone.

***

She finally awoke to the sound of Benjamin calling her name. “I’m here. I’m safe.” She breathed, but when she sat up she saw that she all her clothing had been restored.

Benjamin stopped. “What the hell happened here?”

Jessica opened her mouth to respond, to explain everything that had happened, but something told her that they would never believe her.
