Cold Turkey: A Second Helpings Short Story Read online

  He stared at a candle burning on the island and refused to look up.

  “Please, look at me, dammit!”

  He finally brought his gaze up and his eyes met mine at last.

  In them I saw that pain that hurt me, pierced my heart that I had done it.

  And I saw something else too. Something that matched my own feelings of confusion and desire.

  He wanted me.

  He still wanted me after all this time, after everything I’d done.

  After breaking his heart and making the worst decision of my life, he still wanted me.

  “I can’t look at you,” he said, his voice ragged as he finally didn’t look away. “When I look at you, it feels like yesterday. And you don’t know how hard it was for me to get past it. What you did. You don’t know the pain I’ve gone through.”

  “I’m sorry,” I said again, this time feeling the pain I’d caused. “I’m so sorry, it was such a stupid mistake. It was the worst fucking mistake of my life.”

  Against my better judgement I took a couple steps to be by his side. I rested my hand on his arm and looked up, into his eyes. The eyes I’d stared into so many times as a young woman, before I’d been so foolish.

  “Please, forgive me. I’ll do anything to make it up to you.”

  “I only want one thing,” he replied, his voice thick with need and want.

  I was trembling when I asked him, “What is it?”

  “One night,” he said and bent towards me. His mouth crashed into mine and I felt it immediately.

  The moment our lips touched.

  I was finally home.

  Fox

  I wanted to be an arrogant prick and make Virginia work a little harder for my approval, but every cell in my body fought against my anger and I gave in.

  Around Virginia, I was a weak man. A desperate man.

  And a man I hardly recognized again.

  But I didn’t care at that moment, I just cared that her lips tasted of promise and a little like cherry chap stick.

  And her breathing was rising slowly to a moan, that moan that had always driven me so god damned crazy when we’d fuck back in the day.

  And I told myself that’s all this was, just a fuck. One night with her, then I’d get her to her parent’s place and drive away.

  I’d leave her this time.

  The moment she released that moan I loved so much, I was lost to her though.

  It was if we were eighteen again, having sex for the first time and exploring each other’s bodies like they were brand new and exciting.

  This felt brand new and exciting, like I hadn’t been with a woman since Virginia broke my heart.

  And there had been many, many women since then.

  So many women had paraded through my life, but none of them had interested me even in the slightest.

  I realized that it was for one simple reason.

  I’d never gotten Virginia out of my system, I’d never gotten her out of my mind or my heart.

  I ran my hands down her back and cupped her ass.

  It felt exactly the same in my hand, perfect and slightly plump. Fuckable and begging me to split her in half and slid between her swollen pussy lips.

  God, I wanted her so bad.

  “I need you,” she said and clung to me. “I’ve needed you since I left, but I never realized it until now. I was so stupid, Fox, I should have never gone away. I should have stayed here with you.”

  “What do you need from me, baby girl?” I asked, falling back into my former pet name for her. It was familiar and suited her so well, she was my baby girl, my one and only.

  “I need you, Fox,” she groaned. “I need you to fuck me, punish me for running away. Make me yours again.”

  “You were always mine,” I said, tracing my finger along her lips, letting her suck it and lick it like it was my cock.

  And I was ready for her to have my cock, it had been hard for a while now and after touching her, it was aching to the point of pain.

  She kissed me again, standing on her tippy toes to reach me and I wasn’t completely giving her everything. I didn’t lean down, I made her work for it a little.

  “Please, I need you,” she exhaled. “Don’t make me get on my knees and beg for your cock, Fox…unless you want me to.”

  She looked up at me and slowly sunk to her knees, maintaining intense eye contact the entire way.

  I wanted her to, my god did I ever.

  All was forgiven in that moment, the past melted away and the past five years disappeared as her delicate hands tugged at my belt and unzipped my jeans.

  “You can earn my forgiveness,” I growled and reached down, taking a fistful of her thick mane in my hand and roughly holding her face close to my throbbing, waiting cock.

  I knew Virginia loved it like that, I knew she loved to be punished like a naughty little bitch.

  And right then, she was. She was the naughty little bitch who had broken my heart and left me hanging.

  But now, she was mine. And I did forgive her.

  But I wasn’t going to let her know that.

  Not just yet.

  I wanted her to struggle a little, work hard to regain my trust and my love.

  I didn’t even know if she was here for long, but I couldn’t help but notice a couple boxes in the back of her car.

  And the way she was so eager to earn my love again…well shit, I couldn’t pass on that.

  “I want to, I need to,” she said with a fever in her voice that exposed just how badly she wanted me.

  I could have asked her for anything just then, and she would have done it.

  But I wasn’t cruel…and let’s face it, I fucking wanted her as much as she wanted me.

  She looked incredible on her knees, she always had.

  The only way she’d look better is with my cock in her mouth.

  “Suck my cock, baby girl,” I ordered and released her head so she could freely open her mouth and throat to me. “Suck me deep, Virginia, and I might start to think about forgiving you for leaving me.”

  “I was so stupid,” she said and fumbled at my jeans. I helped her and she tugged them down over my hips and gasped when my rock hard cock sprung out. “I forgot about…this.”

  She hissed air in between her teeth and her eyes were wide when she looked up again. “I missed you, Fox. I didn’t realize how much until now.”

  “You missed my cock, baby girl, now suck.”

  But god damn, the way she said it and the way her big doe eyes shone with unshed tears…it got me right in the heart.

  I’d missed her too.

  And I’d missed this.

  Her mouth opened and she licked the head, tongued my slit and finally sunk her face onto my shaft. She took more of me than anyone had in years, since her in fact.

  She’d been an expert little cock sucker back in the day, and she was still fucking incredible.

  “Oh fuck, Virginia, that’s good…just like that…”

  I rested my hands on the side of her head again, guiding her gently as I began to thrust slowly in and out of her gorgeous, red lips.

  I felt her throat tighten around me and she swallowed my precum, but I wasn’t ready to explode in her mouth just yet.

  I mean I wanted to, but fuck…I wanted to stretch this out. To make it last.

  If it was going to be one night, I wanted it to be the best fucking night of both our lives.

  I pumped faster, in and out, until she was breathing heavily herself and I noticed her hand had dropped to her waist.

  She crept it lower, inside her pants, and she began to play with herself while she sucked me hard.

  Her eyes were glowing, sparking with an almost electric intensity that drove me fucking wild.

  “Come on, play with your cunt, baby girl,” I said, fucking her face while she locked her eyes on mine and brought herself to orgasm quickly and with a small moan.

  I wanted her cunt then, I wanted to fuck her like I used to.
/>
  Fuck her like she was mine, and she’d never left.

  I pulled back, out of her mouth, and lifted her to her feet. She looked up at me, removed her hand from her pants and I grabbed her wrist, dragging it up so I could suck on her fingers.

  I inhaled her scent, sweet and delicious as always, and sucked her fingers until she was sighing and panting at my mouth on her flesh.

  “Oh Fox…this is…my god, so crazy.”

  I released her hand and began to unbutton her shirt.

  She joined me, and at once our hands were all over each other and we were soon both naked.

  “So crazy how much I want to fuck your sweet pussy,” I said with a slight grin. “So crazy how much you shattered my heart, but here I am, desperate for you again.”

  “I’m sorry…a million times over again, I’m sorry.”

  “You have the rest of your life to make it up to me,” I rasped and kissed her mouth, her neck, her ear.

  I lifted her into my arms and she wrapped her legs around my hips.

  I found her mouth again just as my cock found her hot, dripping wet entrance.

  I paused then, with her tight cunt hovering just over me, her arms and legs clinging to me.

  This was it, the moment that we descended into the craziness that was happening now, the insanity of repeating our past and finding each other again.

  As I slowly pulled her down onto my aching cock, I whispered in her ear, “This is our house, baby girl. I always had you in mind when I built it. Now that you’re home, I’m never letting you go.”

  “I’ll never leave you again,” she moaned and I found my way home yet again.

  With her hot pussy clenching around my rock hard dick, we both found our ways home again.

  Home was with each other, and nothing would change that now.

  Virginia

  His cock was everything that I’d been missing, everything that I had needed for five long and lonely years.

  Why had I ever run?

  “I knew this was our house the moment I saw it,” I moaned and let him pull me down his shaft until he bottomed out, filled me and stretched me.

  “Of course it is,” he said, covering my face and neck with kisses. “I had you on my mind with every nail I hammered and every tile I laid.”

  “I know, and I’m back now,” I sighed and felt him deep inside of me, his throbbing matching my heartbeat, our bodies joined in every way possible.

  I wanted to say more, talk to him about my regrets and how Davis had never treated me right, and how the city had chewed me up and spit me out.

  And how he’d been right all along, he’d been right back then and I’d been a coward running away from him because I’d known in my gut that I would fail without him.

  I had been so scared and so immature.

  I wanted to tell him so much, but his cock felt too fucking good and everything was leaving my head with each thrust deep inside of me.

  He shifted and held me tighter, but our speed was picking up and it was getting tougher to stand like this.

  He backed me up in the dark, the flames of the candles flickering across his face and making him seem almost beautiful.

  His hollow cheeks and straight jawline were sharp, and his jet black hair even darker, his green eyes even brighter.

  We hit a table, a thick wooden country table by the feel of it on my ass, and he propped me there.

  I dug my fingers into his back and pulled him against me as if I couldn’t get enough, as if I could never get all of him inside of me.

  But I was desperate to try.

  “You feel so fucking good, baby girl,” he rasped and fucked me hard and fast on his dining table. “I’ve been thinking about this pussy for five year, five long years.”

  “I was so stupid for giving up this dick,” I moaned and ground against him.

  “Your cunt is mine again,” he growled and he bent over me, nipping me on the neck as he fucked me harder and faster, as if making up for the years of me being gone.

  Suddenly I felt him tense up and I knew he was going to explode inside of me. “Come for me, baby girl,” he commanded and thrust upwards again.

  His hand dropped down and his thumb began to circle my clit, forcing me to yield to his will, his command.

  I was pinned in place, impaled on his cock and with his thumb applying pressure to my clit, I didn’t last long.

  “Oh god, Fox…”

  The pleasure crested at last, like a wave pouring over me and dragging me under.

  I reached out and found the edge of the table with one hand while digging my fingers into Fox’s back with the other just to steady myself.

  Fox’s thumb and cock were relentless though, he pistoned himself between my legs and I came hard and fierce, like a storm rolling through me.

  Fox’s teeth scraped my neck and he rocked his hips against me, finally going completely stiff and exploding at last.

  His throbbing cock unloaded spurt after spurt of hot cum into my waiting pussy, it felt as if there was no end to his release.

  It dripped out of me, I could feel the insides of my thighs slick with his jets of cum and my mingled juices.

  He cradled me in his arms as he softened and pulled out of me. I tilted my face up to his and kissed him, our mouths hungrily seeking each other in the flickering candlelight.

  “I missed you so fucking much, baby girl,” he said and kissed me again.

  “I missed you too, Fox. It was even worse though, because I did it to myself,” I replied.

  “Never again. I’m not letting you go,” he whispered and caressed my cheek.

  “I’ll never leave you again. I’ll never let you go,” I whispered back.

  We were in mid kiss when I heard a click and all at once the lights came back on.

  We were suddenly flooded in it, bright overhead lights and I heard the TV turn on in the great room.

  I froze for a moment, and so did he.

  We looked at each other, it was like the end of the night when the bar lights came on and you finally saw who you’d been dancing with the entire time.

  But at once and as if on cue, we began to laugh.

  “That was bad timing,” I grinned and rested my head against his chest, hoping he wasn’t feeling any regrets.

  “It wasn’t exactly romantic, but it’s okay,” he said and kissed the top of my head. “I’m not having any second thoughts if that’s what you’re feeling concerned about.”

  “I suppose I was,” I said and looked at him again. To my delight he was still utterly perfectly gorgeous.

  I had expected the harsh light of the house would make both of us shocked into reality, and possibly regret our crazy headlong tumble back into each other’s arms.

  “No regrets here, Virginia. Other than the regret that I didn’t fight harder for you, I just let you go.”

  “I didn’t want you to fight though,” I said, ashamed and filled with regret over my actions. From five years ago though, not from tonight, just now. “I was stupid and I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you.”

  “You can make it up to me now,” he said with a grin.

  “How could I possibly do that?”

  “Come to bed so I can fuck you properly, baby girl,” he said with a crooked grin.

  I wasn’t prepared for how much that meant to me. His acceptance and need to have me in his bed, with him again.

  I felt tears sting the back of my eye and I was unable to contain my emotion.

  They welled up and fell down my cheeks, leaving hot tracks in their wake.

  “I will follow you anywhere you want me,” I said softly and put my hands on his chest.

  He pulled me tight against him and lifted me off the table, kissed me and carried me through the house.

  The house that was at once so new to me, and yet so familiar. I felt as if I’d been here before, as if the dreams of our youth had come to life before my eyes.

  “This is everything we ever wanted
,” I said as he took me through the house towards a room off the back.

  “I knew you’d live here with me one day,” he said and shook his head. “I still can’t believe it, but here you are.”

  “Here I am,” I replied and couldn’t believe it myself.

  After everything I’d done, my stupid choices and the horrible relationship with Davis, I was back home.

  And I was finally in Fox’s arms again, in the life that we’d planned and he’d built for me.

  It was the perfect ending to my time in the city, and the perfect beginning to my life with Fox.

  He took me to his bed, and it was if the past five years disappeared, melted under his fingers and blew away like smoke in the wind as he started to kiss me again.

  We spent the night reminding each other that we really were meant to be as one.

  We were meant to be in love, and together in life.

  Virginia

  The morning light was bright and Fox rolled over when I reached for him.

  “You realize we have both our families coming for dinner today,” I said when he pulled me on top of him.

  It was Thanksgiving, the three year anniversary of my return to town and three years since I gave into fate and gave Fox my heart and mind, my body and soul.

  He’d been amazing since then. He’d made me his entire world, as I’d worked to make him mine.

  He still ranched and made more than enough money to keep me happy, but he also supported my career as the local high school science teacher.

  We planned on babies at some point, but before that I supposed we should get married.

  Maybe. We’d have to see, everything was going so well that I didn’t know if we should jinx it by changing everything.

  “Remind me again why we’re going to be spending the day making dinner instead of fucking and enjoying our day off?” he grumbled and gripped my hips in his big, rough hands.

  “Because they’re family and it’s our turn,” I laughed and pretended to fight him off a little as he pulled me lower, sliding his hard cock between my legs, seeking my hot, wet pussy.

  “Let them eat burgers at the local fast food place, I want to spend the day in bed licking you from head to toe,” he laughed.
