One Summer Chapter 7

I watched Todd's body language as he got dressed as fast as he could. I felt dirty and ugly. He didn't look at me the whole time he dressed. Two minutes ago we were going at each other like animals. Hell he didn't even take his boots off! And now he wouldn't even look at me. I began to feel like a piece of meat and it was pissing me off. I have had one night stands before, but I wanted it to be different with Todd. I felt this connection with him that I had never felt with a man. It was built on lust, true, but it was deeper than that.

I finished dressing and looked at Todd. He was standing there by the window. I walked up to him and broke the silence.

"Well,...I guess I should be getting home. It's late," I said hoping to get a response from him.

Without turning around he said, "Yeah, it's late.”

I stood there for a moment and then went to the door, looking at Todd one more time. I hated to leave him there; he didn't look right. But I guess he wanted me gone, so gone I was. I walked outside and leaned on the closed door. Tears began to stream down my face. I felt like shit.

I went straight upstairs and hopped in the shower. I was so pissed at myself for letting another man make me feel this way. But damn the sex was hot! And there was so much more to this man that I wanted to know. I had to know.

I finished my shower, put on my robe, and went downstairs to the kitchen for a Pepsi. I looked over at the site and could still see Todd's truck there. I wanted to go back over there so badly, but damnit, I wasn't going to chase him. He knows where I live and he can come to me. I stood there, in the dark, looking over at the site. I heard his truck start up and then the sound of tires squealing on blacktop filled the air.

***************************************************

I awoke Monday morning to the usual sounds of the men working on the mini mall. I heard a knock on my backdoor, I threw on my robe and ran downstairs, hoping to find Todd at my door. It was Ron.

"Morning," he said holding up a box of donuts.

"Ah, hi, Ron. Come on in," I said looking over his shoulder for a glimpse of Todd.

I told Ron to wait there and I would be back down in a minute, I wanted to get dressed. I ran upstairs and threw on some short little summer dress and headed back down the stairs. I had made some coffee and we went outside. We sat on at the patio table and ate. Every once in a while I would glance over hoping to see Todd.

After about twenty minutes, I saw Todd. He saw Ron and me sitting there. When I knew he was watching, I would lean over to Ron, smile and touch his arm. I knew what I was doing, and I hoped it was working! When Todd saw me touch Ron's arm, he walked out of sight. What the hell is this guy's problem? I asked myself.

Ron returned to work and I sat there on the patio, thinking back to the other night. I ached to have Todd inside me again. No one had ever filled me the way he did. The way he put me on that stool and took me! God, I loved it. I loved every minute of it, even though it was over sooner then I wanted it to be. I had to have him again. His hands on my body were like fire, something you would read about in a trashy novel. One that we all like to read, but would never admit it.

*******************************************

I went to work that afternoon feeling let down. I hated work. How I wish I was in Todd's arms at this minute. I sat at my desk thinking of him. I was typing a memo and had no idea what I was typing. Lost in thought, somehow I made it through work. I headed home, alone.

I pulled into the driveway, got out of the car and headed to my front door. I was putting the key in the lock when I heard something coming from the backyard. I cautiously walked toward the noise. I turned the corner and there was Todd sitting at the patio table, with a bottle of whiskey.

"Oh, God, you scared the shit out of me!" I yelled at him, putting my hand to my chest.

He looked at me and said, "Sorry, I...I wanted to talk to you."

"Well, let's go inside then," I said as he stood up.

I opened the back door and walked in. I turned and he was still standing outside. "You can come in."

He walked in slowly and shut the door. He sat his bottle down on the counter after taking one last drink. I turned to him and waited for him to say something. He was just standing there, looking at me.

"You said you had something to tell me, Todd. What is it? I asked trying not to show him I was thrilled he was there.

He took a deep breath and then began to speak. "I wanted to let you know that I'm sorry about the other night....what I mean is....I am sorry about afterwards. I haven't...uuh it's been a long time," he said looking down. "I think you should know some things about me." He turned away from me and continued, "When I was in college I was a smartass jock, thought I was the man. Then I had a one night stand with someone and all these feelings came over me. She wanted me to care about her when the sex was over. Before then the only person I cared about was my mother. One day I turned around and she was gone. So when this one night stand asked me to stay the night and hold her, I freaked. I wanted to be close to her, but then somewhere it all went wrong. We started slamming each other and then she started dating this hick of a man and that hurt me. So, one night, at our yearly frat party, I decided to get some revenge."

I sat down at the table and listened to every word he was saying. I was becoming a little scared at the same time as I hung on his every word. He turned to me and continued talking.

"At this party, I had way too much to drink and she showed up. We trashed each other in front of everyone. She had a lot to drink and was taken upstairs to sleep it off by her date." He took another deep breath. "Me and two other friends went upstairs and found her passed out on the bed." His mind was playing that night in his head as he talked."We.....I raped her. We all took turns. I was so full of hate back then."

I tried not to gasp out loud.

His eyes grew distant as he continued, "My God, we raped her and left her there. There was a trial. During which, I tried to rape her again. But this time, I was stopped by a lead pipe to the head. Yes, that is where the scar came from. I was sentenced to prison and broke out a couple times. One of those times, the cop car I was being transferred in blew out a tire. There was another car coming. We hit it, then crashed into a tree. I managed to get out of the car. One of the cops died on the scene and the other was badly hurt. I called for an ambulance on the car radio and took off. I came across the car we hit and it turned out to her car, the woman I raped. She had two kids with her. I got the kids out and to a passing by car. I got her out right before the car went over a cliff. Due to all of this I got a pardon from the Governor." He stopped.

"Then what happened?" I asked

"Look, if you want me to leave, I ...I will."

"No, Todd, I wanna know what happened next."

"While still in prison I met and fell in love with someone. She was so good and innocent. Would never hurt a fly. She was too good for me. She ended up engaged to one of the others involved in the rape. That tore me up. After my pardon, I asked her to marry me. Of course she turned me down. What the hell was I thinking?! She was too good for someone like me. All the while the guy she was engaged to went nuts and started raping people, while pretending to be me. He was setting me up to take the fall. It's a long story,but she left town after it all and he was sent to a mental facility. I then began to get close with a female friend. To sum it up it, she said she was pregnant and so we got married. She told me she was pregnant before we got married, then she lost the baby. After checking her records, turns out she wasn't pregnant when we married, she got pregnant after! See I was adopted and found out my birth father was this rich monster.He had left me a big trust fund and my first wife knew about my money before I did. We were friends at the time and she had giving me sex as a Christmas present. When she found out about the money and who I really was, she decided to tell me she was pregnant. I loved her so much, that I married her without questioning her. Everyone told me she wasn't pregnant when we married, but I believed her!

Todd sat down and his voice became softer.

She was the only woman I could be who I was with and she didn't care about my past. She just loved me the way I was. After I got all of Daddy's money she lost that baby and when I found out she had lied, we split. We managed to get back together out of nothing but love for each other. On the night before we were to be remarried I found out somethings about my birth father. He raped his daughter, my half sister for years. And here I was, a rapist and about to become a father. My first wife was pregnant again. I freaked. I was so afraid I would be like him."

"God, Todd, you have been through hell and back." I said

"Oh this is only half of it! " he said with a little bitterness in his voice. " I re-married my first wife. The next day, I went to Ireland to help out the woman I had raped I felt I owed her that much. While there, I was shot in the back with bullets that were meant for the new man she had met while over there. I was stuffed into the back of a car and pushed into the sea. Somehow I survived and made my way back home to....my wife. I walked in and saw her fucking the very same guy I had been shot for! She had the baby while I was away. She wanted to get back with me when she found out I was alive, but she had lied too many times and other things happened that stopped us. There was a custody battle, that I won, due to the fact I paid a woman, a lawyer, to marry me just long enough to win the battle. You know I think that is enough for one night," he said, standing up to leave.

"Todd, don't go. I....I want to know everything about you."

"You don't know what you are asking. I can't let you in. I have told you too much as it is. No one here knows anything about my past and I want it left that way," he said.

I walked over to him and said, touching his back, "I won't tell anyone what you told me."

"Aren't you afraid of me? You should be! You are better off with Ron. Forget you met me. Forget the other night."

"I can't, Todd, you are all I think about! And you don't scare me. You are not that person anymore."

"How do you know I am not that same monster that raped that woman? You don't know what's inside of me...it's in there. I don't want it to come out again."

"Todd, when I look in your eyes I don't see the monster you talk about. You have been hurt by women your whole life, not that that excuses the rape. I understand now that it's hard for you to trust women, but you can trust me!" I said touching his silky hair.

"You are the first woman I have been with in three years, and now I don't know where to put what I feel."

"Well, what do you feel?"

"I ...I feel." He grabbed me and kissed me.

One Summer Chapter 8

Todd's kiss was so emotional and erotic. I wanted him right at that moment. But I didn't know what to feel about all he had just said. I wanted to make sure I was not just someone to screw until he got his life back together. I broke the kiss.

"Are you sure you want this?" I asked

Todd's eyes were glazed over with desire. "Oh yes, I want this," he said moving closer to me once more. "I want you."

He pulled me into his arms. I could feel his desire for me. The kiss ended and we stood there locked into each other's eyes. Without speaking at all, we climbed the stairs to my bedroom. I turned on the little lamp next to the bed. Todd stood there, staring at me. It was a wonderful feeling to have a man look at me that way again. I felt alive; I felt like a woman.

He got on the bed and crawled over to me, still standing there, next to the bed. He got on his knees and pulled me in for another sultry kiss. I was wearing spaghetti strap summer dress. He kissed down my neck, stopping at the nape. I tilted my head back, enjoying it. He slowly slipped down one of the straps and kissed my shoulder. Then he moved to the other one. I was completely in his spell. I gave into him in everyway.

He lowered my dress so that my breasts were exposed. It was 80 degrees out and my body was shivering. My nipples hardened as the air hit them. He pulled me to him so that his hands were on my back as he explored my body with his mouth. The rest of my dress fell in a heap at my feet. I stood there only in a pair of French cut panties. His hands slowly made their way to my ass. He caressed it and pinched slightly. God, I was ready for him!

I removed his shirt I ran my fingers over his chest softly. He was ticklish which I found very sexy. I knelt on the bed, facing him, our naked chests touching. He ran the back of his hand along my face. I took his hand to my mouth. I tenderly kissed it.

I don't know how or when, but we were lying on the bed, me on top of him. He pulled my hair back and we kissed some more. I looked into his eyes; there wasn't a monster in there. All I saw was a beautiful soul crying out for love.

He rolled me to my back and he unzipped his pants. I helped him take them off. His was a well endowed man. I moaned at the sight of him, hard with the tip sticking out the top of his underwear waistband. We pressed our bodies together again. The passion was growing. What was soft and gentle began to have a sense of urgency. He was on his side while I was on my back. He ran his hand down to where he just brushed against my mound. I bit my lip in pleasure. He seemed to like to tease me, kept just barely brushing me. He could tell I couldn't take much more of his teasing. He slipped one hand into my panties. Rubbing his fingers on me. I was wet and the touch of his finger made me even more so. He inserted a finger in me, all the while kissing me. I moved my hips to his rhythm. He increased his movement until I was ready to cum. I reached down on put my hand on his rock hard shaft. He let out a moan to my touch. I pulled his underwear off, releasing it . Then he removed my panties, pushing them off with one hand then using his foot to get them the rest of the way off. We laid there together, naked. Our bodies were ready to become one.

He ran his fingers across my mouth then down to my breasts. I leaned up to greet his mouth with mine. He slowly rolled on top of me. I could feel his cock on me, waiting to get in. I spread my legs for him. He inserted it very slowly, moaning with it inch he put it in. My walls grabbed a hold of him. He kept the rhythm slow, tenderly kissing me. He would stop to look me in the eyes in between his short, slow thrusts. I began to quiver with each one. He closed his eyes in pleasure and sucked on his bottom lip. I looked at him in awe of the beauty of his lovemaking. This was no monster. I moved my hips with his.

The room was hot, the smell of musk filled the air. We both started to sweat as we picked up the pace. Our hips eagerly meeting, I wrapped my legs around his back. I could tell it wouldn't be much longer. He was moving faster and harder with each passing second. I, too, was almost there and he knew it. It excited him even more. I could tell he loved bringing pleasure to a woman.

"Oh my, God...I'm gonna cum," he said making one, final thrust.

Hearing him say that moved me into my own climax. Our bodies shuddered at the same time. It was a beautiful feeling. We laid there, breathing hard, sweat sticking us together. Todd relaxed his body on mine and put his head on the pillow. We both tried to get our breathing back to normal. As he relaxe there, drained, still inside me, I ran my hands up and down his back. In a soothing manner, I played with his hair. I loved that hair! After a couple minutes, he brought his head up and kissed me. He rolled over on his back and brought me to him. I melted in his arms, head on his chest. We laid there in silence.
