Surviving for Us Page 9

  “Damn, she is fine as fuck. Who’s the hottie in the boots?” Josh asks once they’ve left the room.

  “My girlfriend, jackass.” I sneer at him while my fist tightly closes.

  He just smirks at my comment, which has my blood boiling underneath my skin. Chris gives me that look to just ignore it, so I do, for him.

  The game goes on for about another hour and a half. Chris ends up winning it all. He took me out to win the game but, to be honest, my mind was somewhere else. Once we have it all cleaned up we head to the living room to join the girls.

  Chapter 17

  Angie

  Tonight was absolutely amazing. Our dinner was so romantic and intimate I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I’ve never eaten there, but always wanted to. I was very surprised to see that he had made reservations for us; I don’t know when he would have found the time to. Chase is going above and beyond to prove to me that this is what he wants. Every time he does something special my wall crumbles just a tad bit more. We always have the best time together.

  We have been over at Chris’s for a couple of hours now and have been drinking quite a bit. I don’t know all the girls, but they all seem nice. When Jenn and I went into the kitchen to grab more drinks, I could feel someone’s eyes on me. I thought it was Chase, but when I looked over it was some other guy I don’t know. But he was looking at us both, so I didn’t think much of it. When I glanced at Chase I could tell he wasn’t happy about it.

  “So how are you and Chase?” Jenn asks me when the other girls are busy.

  “We’re doing really well. He took me to that new Italian restaurant in town. I can’t remember the name, but it was awesome. To be honest though, sometimes it feels like I’m waiting for something to go wrong.” I feel bad for saying it, but with my past I can’t help but think it.

  “Come on, Angie, you can tell Chase adores you. Stop thinking about the past. Chase is nothing like Justin. Just enjoy the ride with him.”

  “I am, girl. I find myself falling more for him every day. He is not who I thought he was at all.” As the last word leaves my mouth the guys come walking into the living room. I smile up at Chase as he sits down next to me. I see that guy still looking at me, so I lean over and kiss Chase on the lips. “Did you win?”

  “No, Chris took me out and won.” He attempts to pout, and I have to laugh at his lame attempt.

  “Let’s all play a game,” Jenn yells. I think she has had too much to drink.

  I look over at Chase and roll my eyes. He just laughs at me. I elbow him in the ribs. As I go to stand up he pulls me to him and his lips land on mine. Damn, I love his kisses. They make me weak in the knees. Half the time I can’t think straight after. I think he is trying to make it known to everyone that we are together.

  “Come on, you two, finish it later. Let’s play,” Chris yells at us.

  Chase pulls away from me and smirks. That smirk right there tells me he did it to make a point. I don’t care, because he just melted me with that one kiss. I will never get tired of kissing him. We make our way to the outside porch where they have the beer pong table set up. He also has a pool table to the left.

  “Let’s play pool. You and Chase against Chris and I,” Jenn says.

  “Sounds good, let me grab another drink real quick.” I tell her.

  “I got it, beautiful, you stay here,” Chase says and kisses me on the forehead.

  I look over at Jenn and she raises her eyebrows. Her look saying that what she said earlier is true. I stick out my tongue at her. Yes, I know it is a childish thing to do, but who the hell cares! Her and I go way back so we tend to act like children sometimes. But to be happy and have fun in life, I think you need to let loose and be free once in a while. Chase comes back with my drink and hands it to me.

  “Thanks, babe.”

  He breaks out into a big smile.

  “What has you smiling like a fool?” I ask him.

  “I like the sound of you calling me ‘babe’. That’s the first time you’ve said it,” he says it like he just won the lottery.

  I give him a quick kiss and we start to play. I am beginning to really love this game as I watch Chase walk around the table and bend over. He really does have a nice ass; I could stand here and stare at it all day. His jeans mold to his ass like a glove. I almost feel like a pervert, standing here and staring. He looks over his shoulder and shakes his ass. I know right there I got busted for checking him out.

  He comes up to me. “Like what you see?”

  “Maybe,” I say, and walk around him to shoot.

  I can feel his eyes on me as I make my way around the table. Deciding to mess around with him, I wiggle my ass as I bend over to take my shot. I hear him suck in a sharp breath. I laugh at myself for thinking I have the upper hand here. I feel him come up behind me. He presses his hard length into me.

  “Keep shaking that ass, gorgeous, and we will take this party to the bedroom so you can do that with no clothes on.”

  Damn it, somehow I knew this was going to come back around to bite me. I look over to Jenn, who is chuckling at us. He moves away from me so I can take my shot. I sink the next three balls and miss the fourth. My mind is not focused on the game anymore at all. I’m ready for this game to be over so Chase and I can take this party somewhere else.

  The game ends soon and we make our way inside. Chris turns on his iPod; Maroon 5’s “Animals” comes on through the speakers. I get another beer then grab Jenn to dance. I know Chase is watching me so I make sure to use my sexy moves for him to see. I go over to Jenn and place my back to her. We have done this plenty of times so she knows what’s going on. I shimmy down her body very slowly, making sure to keep eye contact with Chase. His eyes are darkening with each move I make; he is struggling to remain still. I close my eyes, breaking contact and make my way back up.

  Next thing I feel behind me is a large body. I can tell by the scent that it’s Chase. I push my ass into him and can feel his response to my dancing. I love knowing I can do this to him.

  He puts his hands around my stomach and brings his mouth to my ear. “Time’s up, Angie, I’m taking you to the room and going to show you just what your sexy body does to me.”

  I melt into him right there.

  He grabs my hand and starts dragging me toward his room, wasting no time in saying bye to anyone. Once we enter the room, he slams the door and pins me against it. I feel like it’s New Years all over again, and I’m starting to think he has something for doors.

  “You test a man’s restraint, girl,” he says against my lips.

  I run my hands up his chest and grab the back of his neck, bringing his lips down to mine. This kiss is full of desire and need. I release his neck and grab the bottom of his shirt, yanking it off, needing to feel his warm skin against mine. Dropping to his knees, he removes my boots and starts kissing up each leg until he reaches my thong. He grabs hold of the thin lace and rips the thong from my body.

  “Holy shit, Chase. I liked those.” I can’t believe he just did that. As hot as it was, I really did like them.

  “Oh well, they were in my way.”

  He stands up and turns me around, quickly unzipping my dress and letting it fall to the floor. His lips starts kissing up and down my neck as his hand comes around and starts rubbing the inside of my thighs. I am dying for him to touch me between my thighs. My body feels like it’s on fire. “Chase, please.” I moan.

  “What do you want? Show me,” he says in my ear.

  I bring his hand to my center. Yes, this is what I want. He inserts a finger and starts to move in and out, achingly slow to start. There are noises coming out of my mouth, but to be honest, I can’t tell you what. He adds another finger and increases his pace. His thumb rubs against my clit. I can feel the sensation building in my stomach. It won’t take long before I come.

  “Come for me, gorgeous,” he demands in my ear.

  I let go and detonate around his fingers, screaming out my release. Good th
ing he is holding me up because my knees would give out. He spins me around and smashes his lips to mine. I feel him pick me up and lay me down on the bed.

  Chase

  “On your hands and knees,” I instruct, after placing her on the bed. I kiss up her spine as I run the head of my dick over her entrance, coating it with her wetness. When I know she is ready for me, I slam into her.

  “Chase.” She screams.

  “Damn, Angie. You feel fucking good,” I say through clenched teeth.

  I thrust in and out, fucking her hard. There is no sweet lovemaking in this or worshiping of her body. It is pure fucking raw. You can hear the slapping of our skin. I grip her hips hard, I’m sure I’ll leave a bruise, but I’m too overtaken by passion to control myself. I need her. She feels like pure fucking heaven right here. I feel her start to tighten around me, I know she is close to coming, and I won’t be far behind her. Using my thumb, I rub her clit to get her closer to the edge. “Come with me, Angie.”

  She finds her release just as I do, I thrust in hard one last time and release everything I have in her hot little pussy. We fall on the bed and let our breathing even out.

  Once I can breathe again, I get up to grab a washcloth to clean her up. I make my way back to her. She is still lying where I left her. It just then hits me that I didn’t use a condom with her. I know she is on the pill, so I’m hoping she is ok with this.

  “Angie, baby, roll over so I can clean you.”

  She is already sleeping, so I roll her over slowly, her eyes remain closed. I clean her up and throw the washcloth back in the bathroom. I lift her up and move her up to her pillow. Walking around to the other side, I climb in and pull her body toward me. Making a mental note to tell her first thing in the morning about not using a condom.

  Chapter 18

  Chase

  I wake the next morning to the most beautiful girl sleeping on my chest. She is still passed out, so I just lay there and listen to her breathe. I’m sure if the boys heard me now my man-card would be taken away. I love her, plain and simple. Holy shit, I love her. The thought brings a smile to my face. She starts to stir in my arms so I run my fingertips up and down her back. “Good morning.”

  “Morning,” she says, still half asleep.

  “How do you feel?” I say quietly. I’m sure she has a headache.

  “Like I got run over by a truck.”

  I chuckle at her response. “That would be all the alcohol you drank last night.”

  She smacks me in the stomach for making fun of her. I grab her tightly and bring her closer to me, and lean down to place a kiss on her forehead.

  “So, I have to tell you something,” I say hesitantly.

  She looks up to me with worry in her eyes. “Oh, okay.”

  “Do you remember having sex last night?” I ask.

  Her face gets red. “Of course I do, it’s after that I don’t.”

  “Okay, well, we didn’t use a condom. I’ll take blame for it. I should have remembered, but I forgot in the moment. Before you freak out, I want you to know that no matter what happens I’ll be here for you.” I look directly into her eyes so she will know it’s the truth. She doesn’t seem to be as freaked out as me. I take that as a good sign.

  “Chase, we should be fine. I’m on the pill, remember, but to know that you would be here no matter what makes me happy,” she says, leaning in, giving me a kiss.

  I roll over on top of her and kiss her like she is the last woman on earth. She rattles my insides like nothing I’ve ever felt. I could stay here and lie in bed with her all day, but we need food.

  “Come on, let’s go eat breakfast. If you want we can hang here by the pool all day,” I say as I climb out of bed.

  “That sounds great, but my clothes are still in the truck. We didn’t bring them in last night.”

  I completely forgot they were still outside. I tell her to stay in bed while I go grab her bag. I throw on my jeans, not bothering with my boxers. Jenn and Chris aren’t up yet so I make my way quietly through the house. When I enter the bedroom with her bag, Angie is on her side, sleeping. She looks absolutely breathtaking; she is like a dark-haired angel. I don’t have the heart to wake her, so I leave her bag on the floor and make my way back toward the kitchen. I start to clean up the mess from last night, and in a little while Chris joins me. Luckily, it isn’t that messy so it doesn’t take us that long. Once finished, I start to cook breakfast for everyone. Chris is sitting at the table looking at his phone.

  “Hey, I think Angie and I are going to hang by the pool all day, it’s supposed to be nice.”

  “That sounds fun. I’ll tell Jenn and we’ll grab some stuff for the BBQ later,” he says, getting up from the table to make his way back to his room.

  I’m busy cooking the breakfast casserole when Angie comes walking out of my room. She sits down, laying her head on the table. I place an Advil and some water in front of her. “Here, baby, take these and drink the water. Your breakfast will be ready soon.” I rub the back of her head to soothe her. She lifts her head and reaches her hand out for the medicine.

  “Come on, let’s go lay on the couch.” Lifting her up, I carry her to the living room and place her gently on the couch. I sit down with her and rest her head on my lap. She must not feel good because she falls right back to sleep. She looks so beautiful lying here in my lap. If I could freeze time and watch her all day I would. Chris and Jenn come walking into the living room a couple minutes later.

  “What’s wrong with her?” Jenn asks.

  “I just think she had too much to drink last night, and not enough sleep. I gave her some Advil and water. So hopefully that will help.” I feel so bad for her, knowing what it’s like to have a bad hangover.

  The buzzer goes off, alerting us that the food is ready. Jenn turns to shut it off before it wakes her. I sit there and continue to rub her head. I would have never done anything like this in the past with any other female. Angie has me wrapped around her finger, and I’m okay with that.

  She feels quite warm, so I move my hand to her forehead to try to gauge her temperature. Maybe she’s actually getting sick and it isn’t the alcohol like I originally thought. Jenn brings me over a plate of food so I don’t have to get up. “She feels really warm to me. What do you think, Jenn?”

  She places her plate down and puts her hand on her head. “Wow, she’s burning up,” she says and looks at me with concern.

  I know that sleeping is good for you when you’re sick, so I don’t wake her up. Hopefully she is better by next weekend before I have to leave to go check into my unit. I would hate to leave her sick. Chris turns on the TV while we’re eating our breakfast. A little while later Angie bolts up and darts to the bathroom. Quickly getting up, I follow after her and find her leaning over the toilet, throwing up. I grab her hair so she doesn’t get any in it. My poor girl is miserable.

  “Ugh, Chase, go away. You don’t need to see me like this,” she mumbles into the toilet.

  “Not going to happen, baby. I think this is more than the aftereffects of the alcohol. You must be coming down with something.” I continue to hold her hair away from her face. Once she’s done I help her move over to the sink, so she can brush her teeth. She is really pale, making me worried that she’ll pass out on me. I help her to my bed when she finishes in the bathroom. She curls into a ball and starts to shiver; I reach down and grab the comforter on the end of the bed.

  “What do you need, Angie?” I ask her quietly.

  “I need to get home so I can relax there and not get everyone else sick. You can just drop me off and I’ll be okay,” she whispers.

  I almost didn’t hear her. She’s crazy if she thinks I’ll just let her take care of herself. I can tell she is fighting to keep her eyes open. “Go back to sleep, and when you wake I’ll take you back home. I’m going to stay with you until you’re better, and no arguments about it.”

  Soon she has drifted back to sleep, I make sure she’s bu
ndled up tight then head to the living room, letting them know she’s sick and the BBQ is off. As I’m getting my stuff together for her house, I make a note to go grocery shopping for soup and Gatorade. I relax on the couch for about two hours before she wakes up.

  When we get to her house I get her settled on the couch with a movie and blanket. Once she’s good I make a run to the grocery store and get everything she needs for a couple of days. If she isn’t any better by tomorrow I’ll drag her to the doctor to make sure she’s okay.

  Turns out she had a vicious strain of the flu so the doctor prescribed some antibiotics. I spent all week taking care of my sweet girl. By Friday she started to feel better so she ended up working half the day. I have to leave later this evening to report in at my unit. I take a quick nap while I wait for her to get home. I feel the bed dip and warm lips on my jaw.

  “Wake up, sleepyhead,” Angie whispers in my ear.

  I open my eyes and see the desire in her eyes. I grab her quickly and flip her over. “I take it someone is feeling better,” I say as I kiss down her neck.

  “Yep.” She moans out.

  I make quick work of her clothes and throw them over my shoulder. We go at each other like there is no tomorrow. We don’t stop until we find our release together. We remain lying side by side, while I run my hand up and down her back, until we get our breathing under control. I’ll miss her this weekend. Just knowing I have to leave is bringing me down.

  “What’s wrong, Chase?”

  “I don’t want to leave today. I know I have to, but it just sucks.” I give her a quick kiss and get out of bed. I grab my uniform and put it on. Once I’m dressed, I stand and make my way out of her bedroom. If I stay in there any longer I will drag us both back to bed, and I really need to leave. I pull her in for a hug. “God, I’m going to miss you. I’ll have my phone on me at all times so call or text when you want.” I lift her chin and lower my mouth to hers; pouring everything I have into this kiss. I pull away from her before we get carried away. “Goodbye, beautiful. I’ll call you on the way, or when I get there.”
