Torn Between Two Enemies

Chapter 4

Lucas looks away, embarrassed. “I’ve never done it before.” There, he says it.

Kate eyes open wide. Oh, god. This is so perfect! They can be each other’s first. Should she even tell him that. No, she shouldn’t because then Lucas might change his mind. He’ll know soon anyway. “But you want to, right?” she asks, instead.

Lucas grins and nods with apparent enthusiasm. “But I don’t even have condoms.”

“Oh,” Kate says, deflated. There goes her grand plan. Why didn’t she think of that before coming there?

“Wait,” Lucas says, remembering something. “Logan probably has. He might keep some in his room.”

Kate’s spirit raises up again, she has to withhold herself from clapping. “Oh, yes,” she says. “He gave you a box last summer, remember?”

“I put it back in his room,” Lucas answers. “I hope he doesn’t bring it back with him.”

“Go look,” Kate says. “Hurry.”

Lucas grins and sprints towards his brother’s bedroom. He comes back with a box in his hand. “Eureka!” he shouts.

Kate laughs and claps. Eureka indeed. “We might not need the whole box,” she says in between her laughs.

“Well,” Lucas says while looking at the inside of the box. “There’re only four left. Logan’s been busy.”

Now they both laugh again.

“Well, now,” Kate starts. “We probably should get busy ourselves before dad comes. Are you expecting him soon?”

Lucas looks at his watch. “In about two hours or so.”

Kate smiles. This time her smile is just sweet. Sweet and beautiful. She doesn’t put any kinds of efforts towards it. But somehow, it’s the most beautiful Lucas has seen for a very long time. Kate extends both her hands, trying to hold his. Lucas doesn’t hesitate now. This time he welcomes her with his whole heart. He and his princess will do it at last.

Lucas pulls of his T-shirt, throws it to the floor, and lets Kate watch as he continues unbuttoning his 501. And then he’s there, standing in his boxer. His erection visible.

“Should I continue?” Lucas asks, his voice is shaky with both excitement and nervousness.

Kate smiles, she’s half naked herself but still has her jeans on. “Do you want me to take off my jeans too?” she offers. When Lucas nods, Kate pulls them off her in a slow movement. They’re kind of a little too tight and she’s nervous as well so they don’t go off as fast. Lucas comes to her, helping her. Now they’re both only in their underwear.

“Go back to bed,” Kate whispers. “Kiss me.”

Lucas smiles and does just that. He lays himself on top of her and cages her with his arms, making sure that he doesn’t put all his weight on her. Kate spreads her legs wider then remembers she once saw, if not a couple of times, that the woman usually wraps her legs on the man’s waist. So, she does that.

It feels intimate, and trusting. Somehow their bodies become one now, instead of two. Kate realizes that Lucas feels it too because now he smiles at her. His smile is genuine, with so much adoration. It breaks Kate’s heart; she closes her eyes.

The kisses continue. So beautiful, so magical, so captivating. It takes Kate’s breath away. It takes Lucas’ breath away as well. He starts moving, he leaves her lips to go down to kiss her neck. But then he stops and says, “Princess, I’ve never done this, but I’ve watched porn. I know what I’m doing. I mean, how difficult can this be, right?”

That’s a good question. Kate doesn’t know it either. Lucas can’t know that, though. So, she nods. “It’s instinct,” she says instead with her sweet and genuine smile. “I think this is going to the right direction. Perhaps we shouldn’t talk anymore? It will just make it more difficult than it’s supposed to.”

Lucas nods. Her genuine smile gives him all the courage he needs, so he continues. Everything becomes easy from there. Somehow, he just knows what to do like he’s done it a million of times. He’s no longer questioning his lack of experience, no longer afraid of her laughing at his lack of expertise. All of his moves are somehow perfect. Instinct has taken over.

And Kate moans, his ministrations have made Kate moans, and writhes, and acts wantonly. Lucas continues kissing her, continues going down, and when he reaches her breasts, he stops. He then sucks, and squeezes. He must have done a great job because Kate starts to lose it. Her movements become even more wantonly. She buckles and continues offering her body towards him. Lucas takes with greed. But he needs more reassurance. He needs to be given permission.

“Luke,” Kate sighs. “Please… please...”

Now Lucas grins. That’s what he’s looking for. The permission.

Kate is still in her panties, so Lucas takes them off. He’s too slow in doing it because Kate starts to wriggle herself out of the tiny thing. They both laugh at her lack of patience but stop when Kate is all of a sudden naked. Lucas’ jaw drops. The view in front of him, he’s never seen anything more exquisite.

“You’re perfect,” he says, trying hard to breathe.

Kate smiles. This. How he adores her is too much. It brings tears to her eyes. “Make love to me,” she begs.

“Are you sure?” Lucas asks. “After this, we can never go back.”

Kate nods. “Yes,” she says. “Condom, now.”

Lucas nods, reaching for the box, taking one, opening the wrapper with his teeth, then gloving himself. “How should we do it?” he asks, back to being unsure.

Kate smiles. “You’re already very hard,” she says, somehow, she becomes shy but continues anyway, “Maybe we shouldn’t worry so much about the style. Let’s just go back to instinct.”

Kate, she always knows what to say to make him feel good. He nods, kisses her again, and puts his body on top of her again. Kate welcomes him, hugging him close and wrapping her legs around his waist again, making their bodies one. Again.

“Take your time now Luke,” Kate says in a soft whisper. “Wait until you’re ready.”

Lucas nods. He’ll do just that. He will take his time; he’ll know when he’s ready. He kisses her mouth, her neck, her clavicle, her boobs. He squeezes them too; he plays with her n*****s. She moans, and gasps, and writhes, and offers her body to him. And just like that, he’s ready.

Lucas is met with a barrier when he first plunges. He doesn’t know what it was but then Kate whispers in his ear, urging him to continue.

“Harder,” Kate pleads, looking straight into his eyes. “Please, you need to go faster, and harder.”

Kate, her eyes, the way she looks at him, the way she begs, they bring something primal from the very inside of him. He feels so connected to her. He nods and does what she asked him. He plunges fast and hard. She screams.

Her scream shocks him. “Oh, God, Kate,” he says in a panic. “Are you alright?”

Kate nods and smiles. It hurts so bad but she can’t show it. Lucas can’t stop now. “Of course, I am,” she says with a reassuring laugh. “It was just so good. Girls sometimes scream during s*x. Please you need to move now, you can’t stop.”

Lucas nods. The truth is he doesn’t want to stop either. This is getting very, very good. Finally, he moves again, in a slow motion, but Kate gives him an exasperated laugh and asks him to move faster.

“Please Luke,” Kate sighs. “You’re not hurting me.”

Lucas plunges faster, and harder. Then he realizes that it’s really freakin good he can’t stop. His movements become erratic, out of control, especially since beneath him Kate also starts to lose it. She starts screaming his name over and over again. Her movements and her screams push Lucas even more on the edge. He’s barely hanging in there; he’s going to explode any minute now. However, he knows that he has to wait. Ladies first, ladies always first.

He continues pushing faster, harder, until he hears Kate screams again, until he feels her inside clench him, then he loses it. He feels his body explodes, then shudders, then falls hard on top of hers.

Bruce Jenkins comes home to two teenagers folding clean clothes in their living room. When Kate sees him, she runs towards Bruce and hugs him. “Dad,” she says.

Bruce smiles at her and kisses her forehead. “Princess,” he says. “Long time no see. We miss you around here.”

“I was here last summer,” Kate answers him.

Bruce laughs a little. “Right, of course. Staying for dinner?” he asks.

Kate shakes her head. “Nope,” she says.

Her answer shocked Lucas. “You’re not staying for dinner?” he asks, trying hard not to sound too disappointed.

Kate shakes her head again. “I can’t,” she says. She then continues with a lie, “My momma is coming home from Paris this evening.”

“Another night?” Bruce asks.

Now Lucas comes closer. He looks at Kate straight in the eyes. How long will it take before she comes again? If ever. But they just made love. Surely, this changes something between them, right? Everything, this should change everything. “Another night?” Lucas asks, repeating his dad’s earlier question. Full of hope. Now, after this, they can become lovers.

Lucas’ question almost kills Kate. She needs to go; she has a date with Seth. Tonight, she will put out. She tries hard not to look away or cry. She musters all the energy she has left to smile. She tiptoes to hug Lucas. At 5’7, she’s pretty tall for a girl. But Lucas is over 6 feet. “Bye, Luke,” she says. “Bye dad.”

Bruce nods. “Bye, princess,” he says. “Drive careful and say hi to your momma.”

Kate nods. “I will dad,” she says.

Lucas walks her to her Mercedes. She didn’t make any promises, why? Why didn’t she make any promises back in the house? But it doesn’t matter. She always comes back. She always comes back, right?

***

He must’ve been the stupidest boy that has ever lived on this earth. He wakes up that Monday morning thinking that Kate will acknowledge him at school at last. More than just acknowledging him, perhaps she will even kiss him. They can become lovers. But what he sees in front of him breaks his heart to pieces.

Kate is there, lip-locking with Seth. His hands are everywhere on her body while hers are wrap around his neck. They’re so hot and heavy, they only have eyes for each other.

Lucas remembers last Saturday after they just made love. He found blood on her thighs and also on the condom. At first, he thought he was so rough he was hurting her. It even made him feel guilty. But then he remembered the barrier that he met and her urging him to just push through it. It was hymen. He broke her hymen. She was a virgin. Just like him.

He thought there was something between them after that. Something sacred. Something worthy. Something of a value. Like love.

How stupid! Now he understands. There was never a European prince. The reason she came was for the s*x, that was the help that she needed from him. She wanted to have s*x with Seth but was afraid of his reaction if Seth found out that she was still a virgin. She had a reputation to uphold. She needed to lose her virginity but she couldn’t do it with just anybody because they might talk. She needed somebody she could trust. And stupid him, he fell into her trap.

Well, never again. He can only afford to be stupid once.
