You're My Only Obsession

Chapter Eight - Scarlet

When I woke in the morning, Sam was spooning me from behind. His arms wrapped around me protectively. I smiled at the feel of his body.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the closeness of him. It was nice having someone to hold me.

I moved slightly to get more comfortable. His leg tangled with mine still, and his hand brushed my thigh. I felt the warmth run up and down my body. I had never felt that with anyone. My skin prickling with sensation as the butterflies hit my stomach.

I rolled over to face him. The feelings of need took over when I looked at his perfect face. He was so close, pressed against me. Then I bent down and brushed my lips over his and desire flowed through me.

His eyes snapped open. He bent his head down and pressed his lips against mine. It felt so nice kissing him.

My body was tingling with desire when he pulled back, my lips burning. My hand then moved to the back of his head, threading though his morning hair.

As his lips pressed against mine, he made a soft moan in the back of his throat. My mind was whirling, spinning as the sensations and passion took over, making my body ache for something I’ve never wanted because of Aaron. Sam’s tongue grazed my lips and the kiss deepened.

He cupped my face as he guided me onto my back, hovering over me. I whimpered at my aching body. I dug my fingers into his back, pulling him closer to me. His hand trailed down my arms and waist until he hit the skin of my stomach. He was doing everything slowly, taking everything in. it made me feel special because he was admiring me.

His hand pushed up my top and cupped my breasts. I let out a little moan, pulling him even closer to me.

The kiss broke and he started to kiss down my neck, I was already panting. I helped him as he pulled my top over my head.

“Scarlet, you are so beautiful” he whispered in my ear.

His lips pressed against mine again. I smiled against his mouth. My fingertips glided over his chest, feeling the bumps of his muscles. He shivered, moving his head lower, kissing my breasts. I gasped at the sensation.

His mouth drew lower, kissing down my stomach, nibbling a bit on certain areas. When I felt the top of my leggings moved, I raised my hips to give him encouragement. Cool air hit my thighs as he slipped my leggings off.

I was gone. Lost in the desire of him. His mouth met mine again, and he made another little moan, his hands running through my hair. My hand slid down his back, reaching his boxers and slowly sliding them off. I felt his hand stoke up my leg, the stinging following. He groaned “oh scarlet”.

I gasped when I felt his fingers push inside me gently. Pleasure ripples erupted, as I arched my back, griping onto him for support.

He sucked on my bottom lip, as his fingers started moving slowly. I couldn’t wait any longer, and shook my head. “Sam, I want you”

“Are you sure? Do you have a condom?” he panted. I nodded not able to answer because of the pleasure running though me. I reached over to my side table draw and grabbed one. He took it off me and put it on, then hovered over me. Leaning down kissing up my neck. Then he looked at me, with concern.

“Are you sure Scarlet?” he asked. I nodded smiling at him.

Then he pulled my legs up around his waist, gripping my thighs as he pushed his hips forwards. I breathed out as I felt him slide inside me and his hips met mine. He gasped and his eyes widened, his fingers gently dug into my leg.

I tightened my legs around his waist. He grinned at me then kissed me passionately.

He built up a slow, steady rhythm. Every time he moved, my body throbbed. I tried to match my hip movements with his, raising my hips to meet his. I sat up, kissing and nibbling at his neck, making small moaning sounds.

He was so gentle and caring; worshiping my body.

“Okay?” he asked breathless, thrusting a little harder

“Yes” I panted.

He made a small laugh, pushing further into me, as I ran my hand in his soft hair.

A sensation was building up inside me. I pressed my mouth against his mouth. Knowing I was coming to my end too, he started to speed up. I moved my legs up higher, lifting most of my body off the bed.

My orgasm hit me. My whole body seemed to tense and shake as I shut my eyes tightly. Sam moaned as his body tensed. I watched as he closed his eyes and his jaw tightened, moaning from pleasure as he finished too. He then slumped down next to me, then pulling me on top of him, holding me tightly.

He smiled at me, whilst moving my hair out of my face. My whole body felt like jelly. A giggle escaped my lips because of what he looked like right now. I then moved some of his hair off his sweaty forehead.

“I really like you Scarlet” he asked looking into my eyes. Shock rushed over me. But strangely enough, I liked him too.

“I really like you too Sam” I said blushing, his lips pressed against mine again.

“Sam do you mind me counting that as my first time?” I said nervously.

“No of course not, I’m your first” he replied, kissing me softly.

I smiled against his mouth, his arms wrapping around me tightly.

“Thank you” I whispered. He gave me a gentle squeeze and I put my head on his chest. I dragged in a ragged breath and realized how hot and stuffy the room was. I needed a bit of air. I sat up, straddling him. He smiled at me, drawing a lazy pattern on my thigh.

The way he was looking at me proved that when he said that he liked me he meant it; his eyes soft and kind, a little smile hinting at the corners of his mouth. I blushed and looked down, avoiding eye contact with him. I felt his hand on my face, moving it up too look at him.

“You Scarlet are the best girl in the world. Not just because of what just happened. But everything about you is wonderful and beautiful. You are the strongest person I know, I was shocked when you wanted to have s*x with me after… you know who. I do really like you; I know it’s a bit early to say that but it’s true. I have never felt this close to a girl before because I’ve never felt right.” He said softly. I then noticed he was crying, but not the sad kind but the happy kind.

“You saved me Sam, and you still are. It’s not too early to tell me that really like me. I’m so glad you are in my life. And what do you mean you have never felt ‘that’ with a girl before?” I looked him in the eyes, smiling.

“I had never had s*x till today. Every girl I’ve been with never made my insides flip and tangle together. They never made me nervous, and I never fought to be with them. Then I met you. The night I met you was the day I knew I wanted to be with you” he said cupping my face whilst crying softly. I started crying because I know I don’t want Sam getting hurt, not ever. The thought of it made my chest hurt.

After a while of lying there, I finally got up. When I walked out to the living room, looking at the pictures, as I pulled them off the wall and into a box. My stomach clenched and filled me with anxiety.

“Are you okay?” Cody's voice made me jump, and I turned around quickly.

“Yeah, I’m okay. How are you and Emily?” I gave him a sad smile, the way he looked at me was like he just found out he was dying. He felt bad.

“You were screaming last night, me and Emily jumped out of bed to run to your door. But Sam had already got to the door; he’s fast isn’t he. I can tell that he is never going to hurt you. I’m sorry about what I said.” He took a deep breath and carried on. “Emily is sleeping because she was crying last night, I gave up on sleeping.” He walked towards me, taking the box out of my hands.

I looked at him. His eyes were bloodshot still. I smiled weakly at him, feeling the lump raise in my throat. His arms wrapped me and crushed me to his chest. I hugged him tightly, sobbing quietly.

“You are like a sister to me, and I am always going to protect you. I know Sam is as well. But you have both of us. We both love you dearly. Yes in different ways, but that doesn’t change anything. Aaron will never, ever get to you.” he let of me go and kissed the top of my head.

“Thank you” I croaked out. He pulled back, sitting down on the sofa. I picked up the box and shoving it in a place only I knew. Then sat next to Cody and watched TV.

Sam walked in the room, I could tell by his heavy footed walk. He jumped onto the sofa from behind, wrapping his legs around me. He then pulled me back so that my back was on his chest. He reached down and took both of my hand, intertwining his fingers with mine, and then putting our hands on my stomach. I looked over at Cody, who was smiling at us.

“Hey Cody” Sam said confidently, with a wide smile on his face.

“Alright man,” he said masking Sam’s facial expression. And that’s when I knew; they were going to get along.

“How are you and Emily?” he asked.

“Yea we are coping, Emily’s still asleep. Hey man, how the hell did you get to Scarlet’s room that fast last night? I mean our room is next to hers and you were in here. But somehow you were able to get up, grab a baseball bat and to Scarlet's room quicker.” Cody said interested, and it made Sam chuckle. “You have to show me how you do that.” He laughed.

“I used to train for the army, I know a lot about fighting and moving fast,” Sam said casually. I looked at him shocked I never knew that. He had never told me anything about the army.

“Shh that’s so cool” Cody called back, with a huge grin on his face.

“I never knew that Sam?” I looked at him and he knew I was a bit hurt. I could feel Cody staring at us.

“Anyway I’m going to go check on Emily. Nice talking, Sam” he nodded at me and left the room.

I moved to wear Cody was sitting, staring at Sam. I could tell we had hit a bad subject because his jaw kept tensing then un- tensing. I reached forwards, grabbing one of his hands. He jumped at it but soon smiled at our hands.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you,” he whispered still looking down.

“Sam, it’s okay. I’m here for you” he looked at me, tears filling his eyes. I moved closer to him, I couldn’t be angry with him when he looked so distort.

“I stopped at the beginning of this year. I have a license to have a gun because I haven’t fully stopped the army. They wouldn’t let me in because of something happened.” He looked up at the ceiling, tears running down his face. He has a gun? What happened?

He took a deep breath. “I loved the army. My best- friend and I joined together. We were about to get sent out, when a shooting went off. We stuck together, through the shooting.” His hand was shaking in mine I then looked up and his whole body was shaking.

“I was trying, but the shooters were well trained. Jason and I got separated from our group at one point. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going because I hadn’t been in one of these situations before. I didn’t realize the six shooters turn the corner. I turned around, just as one of the men aimed at me and I froze.” I rubbed his hand softly, as he cried harder. “Jason was quick, and jumped in front of me. He got shot, and then I reacted. Shooting all six guys. I dragged Jason into the building next to us. He was bleeding out. I tried saving him, but it was too late. I felt reasonable for what happened.” My heart sank at his words; I remember this being on the news.

I suddenly pulled Sam into my chest, letting him cry whilst I stroked his back. He was shaking violently.

“His last words were ‘I made a promise. From Danny – That I will protect you. Brothers protect brothers. Thank you for being my brother Sam.’ after that he went limp. I cried whilst shaking him, begging him to wake up. I pulled him into my arms, and didn’t let go till my group found me. By that point, my voice had gone.” He gasped in a breath, shaking even more. “After that, I never stopped training, I worked twice as hard. Every day. I even put a bullet prove vest on, and made my team go after me. Till I didn’t get shot from them. I pushed my body too hard. The head of the army took me out because he knew Jason’s death took its toll on me.” He hugged me tightly.

“Sam, I’m sorry this has happened to you,” I whispered.

“When I met you, my guard went down. So I’ve made it my duty to protect you. I may become over protective like I am over Danny and my mum. But please understand I don’t mean to be over protective. It’s just I don’t want to lose you” he shook, in my arms.

“Sam I understand, you will never lose me okay? I won’t allow anything take me away from you. I’m yours only yours” I pulled his puffy face up to mine looking him in the eyes. His eyes had gone brighter from crying so much.

“Thank you Scarlet,” he mumbled. I leaned in and kissed him softly, and he kissed me back.
