Brian was one of those college guys most guys secretly envied. He always had the "perfect" girlfriend proudly on display wherever he went. Everyone knew him for one reason or another and they loved him. All the girls wanted to be his girl but none really understood what it meant to be his. To him, women were just trophies to be shown off and discarded once they became useless to inspire awe and jealousy. He would never let a woman tarnish his image.
Jesse had known Brian for most of their lives. They had been like brothers for years despite the large amount of differences between the two. Jesse was more of a romantic. He saw women as special creatures put on this earth to be pampered and cherished, not collected and tossed aside. He despised the way Brian would treat women but never brought it up to him for fear of losing a good friend. One thing became clear. Despite their differences, the two had two things in common. They would kill for each other and both were in love with Kailyn.
Kailyn was not like most of the girls Brian went out with. She wasn't shallow or into showing off her beauty. The two had been dating for a little over a year when Jesse realized something that he never wanted to admit. He had secretly fallen in love with his best friend's girl. They all spent a lot of time together on weekends. Since they shared the same group of friends, they always were running into each other.
Kailyn was so in love with Brian she could not see what was so blatantly clear to everyone else. He cheated on her and everyone knew it. He slowly changed from Mr. Perfect to a man who belittled her in front of others and treated her more like a servant than his lover. This tore Jesse up inside. Whenever Kailyn had something on her mind, she would always go to Jesse. The two of them had become very close over the last few months. She never really saw how he felt about her because she was still too caught up in her feelings for Brian.
All of it started to unravel the night of Kelly Bixby's party. Brian picked Kailyn up as usual and drove to the party. He was unusually quiet in the car and she couldn't figure out what was bothering him. Several times, she had tried pleading with him to tell her what was on his mind but he never would say.
Once they arrived at the party, he kept ditching Kailyn, leaving her to talk to the few females who weren't jealous of her relationship. The only guy she was allowed to speak to was Jesse and he still hadn't arrived yet. Brian made sure to keep his woman isolated from other guys. He figured they would betray him or steal his girl away, unlike the girls. They would smile sweetly to each other's faces then slip out the door and screw the other's boyfriend without even as much as a second thought. The next day they would pretend to be a sympathetic shoulder to cry on knowing full well how horrible their actions were the night before.
It had been almost an hour he had been gone when Kailyn decided to look for Brian. She wandered through the throng of guests as she searched for him. The men just shook their head and the women whispered and faked halfhearted smiles. She slowly made her way upstairs, figuring he was in line for the bathroom or some other simple explanation. She stopped briefly to ask a few people in line then proceeded to check the bedrooms.
"Oh yeah that's it ride my cock bitch" he groaned as Kelly bounced up and down on his lap.
The voice was his. Kailyn just stood there for a moment completely shocked. She felt for the light switch by the door. She had to see it for herself. She had to see him. The light clicked on and there was Brian lying naked on Kelly's bed with her on top of him. She stood there for a moment while it all sunk in.
"How could you do this Brian...." her words trailed off shook her head.
Kelly reached for the blanket to wrap around her naked body while Brian just stared at Kailyn. She broke into tears and slammed the door shut. Kelly was ashamed of herself for being caught. When she started to get off of him, Brian reached up and slapped her hard across the face.
"I'm not finished with you yet. Don't fucking worry about her" he angrily spat.
Kailyn ran down the stairs past the murmuring crowd. Jesse had just pulled into the driveway when she went running across the yard. He quickly got out of the car and went running after her. She kept running, down the center of the street and away from the party. It wasn't until she stumbled that he caught up with her. She quickly turned away from him. Not wanting him to see her cry like this.
"Kay... what's going on?" he inquired.
"B...Brian...." she stammered between sobs. "Kelly..."
"Kay" he put his hand on her shoulder. "Talk to me. What happened?"
She turned toward him and looked pitifully up into his soft hazel eyes. Her arms flew around him as she buried her face against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and just stood there holding her for a moment. He knew Kelly had been after Brian for some time but he never suspected he would be low enough to do this to Kailyn. Not like this at least. He stroked her hair as he comforted her.
"Shhhh it will be ok. I promise. It will be ok."
"He... he was fucking her." She looked up at him. "Did you know he liked her?"
Jesse stared down into her deep brown eyes and shook his head. He wanted so badly to tell her how he felt about her right then and there but he couldn't, not now. His palm gently cupped her jaw as he tilted her face up toward his. He fought his urge to kiss her as he looked at her beautiful tearstained face. It was almost too much to take.
"Listen, let's go back and get my car and we can get out of here. I'll take you home or something and it will all be alright."
"I don't want to go back there. I can't see him Jesse. I can't do it," she sobbed.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of everything. I just don't want to leave you here alone. Come on," he took her hand in his.
The two slowly walked back together, hand in hand. The people who had seen the whole ordeal whispered. Everyone knew. There was no denying that. Jesse opened the passenger side door for her. He glared at the others who watched, making them turn away quickly. Suddenly, Brian came from inside the house as Jesse shut the car door.
"Kailyn get out of the fucking car now." Brian yelled.
"Listen, she doesn't want to talk to you right now." Jesse interjected as he stepped in front of Brian.
"Get the fuck out of the way dude. I am not fucking joking...GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR!" He tried to push past Jesse, but his arm was grabbed. "Let the fuck go of me. She's my fucking girl and she isn't leaving with you."
Jesse threw Brian onto the lawn a few feet in front of him. Brian had a reputation as a scrapper but when it came down to it, he was no real match for the 5'8 muscular hockey player. He attacked Jesse, knocking him back a few feet into the hood of the car. He got in one good punch to the face before he was thrown off. Some of the others who had gathered to watch held Brian back as Jesse stood up.
"Come on asshole... COME THE FUCK ON" he screamed.
Jesse just shook his head and walked to the driver side door. He looked back at Brian for a moment. His hand rested casually on the door handle, as Brian continued to struggle to pull free from the others. Jesse opened the door and stood there for a moment just watching him. Just as he was about to get in Brian slipped free. He ran toward Jesse who quickly gave him a jab to the face, knocking him back onto his ass in the yard.
"If you ever think of fucking with Kailyn I will kill you... Got it?" He calmly explained before climbing in the car.
Jesse pulled out of the driveway and sped off. Kailyn was shaking. She saw a completely different side of Jesse tonight. She didn't speak for the longest time. She kept looking down at her hands as they rested in her lap, and then looking out the window. Jesse could sense her uneasiness about what had just transpired.
"Listen Kailyn. I know you love him but if he tries to mess with you I am going to take care of it," he said as he pulled the car over to the side of the road. "I'll take you home. O.K."
She looked over at Jesse. All that had happened that night crushed her. She wasn't sure what to say to him right now. She couldn't believe what was happening. It was all so sudden and irrational in her mind. She was quiet for what seemed like an eternity.
"Jesse, I don't want to be alone tonight." she sniffled.
"What do you mean?" he questioned.
"Will you stay with me? I am afraid he's going to come looking for me. You know how he is when he gets pissed off about things," she replied.
"Ok. We can go to my place. No one will bother you there I promise." he took her hand in his for a moment and gave it a gentle squeeze. "I won't let anything hurt you Kailyn. I swear."
She felt so safe with Jesse. How could she not? He as so sweet and gentle toward her. She knew how he did treat the few girls he did date in the time she knew him. They arrived at his place moments later. She was hesitant to move when they pulled in but when he opened the door she slowly got out of the car.
"Are you sure this is o.k. Jesse? I mean he's going to be very pissed at you for taking me out of there."
"Yeah it's fine." he remarked as he ushered her toward the door.
The light outside was dim enough where she hadn't gotten a good look at his face where Brian had hit him. Once inside she saw the beginning of a painful looking shiner. She gasped when she saw it. Her fingertips lightly brushed just below the forming bruise as she stared into his eyes. Her touch was so soft and caring. He had often imagined how it would feel.
"Oh my god Jesse. You better get some ice on that," she softly said.
"Don't worry about it. It will be ok," he smiled down at her.
She shook her head and smiled slightly for the first time since the incident. She walked around to the sofa and sat down in the middle. He threw his keys on the end table and sat next to her. The two of them sat talking into the early hours of the morning. He could see how tired she was getting. He offered her something to change into so she would be more comfortable and she eagerly accepted. He sat and stared as she walked back in wearing one of his baggy t-shirts and cotton boxers. He kicked off his shoes and socks, making himself more comfortable. To him, it did not matter what she wore, she looked amazing.
As the settled in, he turned on the television. Soon the two were engrossed in a movie. Neither of them said much to each other as they stared at the screen. Jesse wouldn't have cared if they were watching a congressional debate. Anything would be fine as long as she was with him. He tried to muster up the courage to say what was in his heart.
Kailyn looked over at Jesse sadly and asked. "What's wrong with me?
"What do you mean Kay?" he inquired
"There has to be something wrong with me for Brian to do that." She sighed, "I just wish I knew what I did to make him like that."
Jesse could not believe what she was saying. Brian had broken her heart yet she was taking the blame for his cheating. He just shook his head as he moved closer to her. Kailyn stared down at her hands as she fidgeted. He gently placed his fingers under her chin and tilted her head up. He searched her deep brown eyes for a moment before he could speak. He drew in a deep breath and exhaled slowly before he began.
"Kailyn, Brian is an asshole. Plain and simple. He has cheated on all of his girlfriends at one point or another. He just usually doesn't get caught. That was the first time he had done anything like that since he has been with you. Believe me. If he had cheated before that, I would have told you. I don't want to see you get hurt. You should know that" He paused. "He was a fool for what he did Kay. Any man should be honored to have such a beautiful and amazing girl like you."
Kailyn blushed as a gentle smile began to form. "That's really nice of you to say Jesse."
"Listen, I know this is probably the last thing in the world you want to hear right now but..." he stopped, trying to brace himself incase she reacted badly to the news.
"What's wrong Jesse?" she asked.
His words stuck in his throat as he quickly dropped his gaze for a moment. He looked back up at her and without a word leaned in. He kissed her softly on the lips as his arms encircled her body. At first, she was shocked but it felt so right... so natural. Her eyes fluttered shut as she relaxed. She slipped her arms around him as the kiss deepened. His hands gently caressed her body before he reluctantly broke the kiss. He sat back and stared into her eyes for a moment.
"Jesse?" she curiously said.
"I'm sorry Kailyn. I have wanted to tell you for the longest time... It's just you were my best friend's girlfriend. I couldn't do that to him. I should have told you and maybe this all wouldn't have happened. I... I love you Kailyn," he whispered.
The words shocked her more than the kiss did. She sat there just looking at him for a moment without being able to say a word. She was confused more than anything. The pain and anger that Brian caused didn't seem as intense since the kiss they just shared. It had stirred something deep within her soul. Brian never kissed her like that. She had always cared about Jesse as more than just a friend but never really thought if it could be more. Now she had to wonder.
"I..." she stopped watching the look on his face shift into a deep sadness.
Kailyn leaned in and softly kissed his lips once again. The passion built quickly as the kiss deepened. She moved to lie back on the sofa but Jesse stopped her. He scooped Kailyn up in his arms and carried her to his bedroom. He laid her softly upon the bed, as the kiss was broken. He sat next to her looking over her body for a moment. He smiled at her as he lay down next to her on the bed.
His hand rested upon her stomach as he propped his head up on one hand. The way he looked at her amazed her. It wasn't as if he was just admiring her form. It was as if he was looking into her soul. She was a little nervous. She had never really imagined any of this would happen. His hand moved slowly over her stomach, dragging the t-shirt up slightly to reveal her tanned skin.
She shivered as he laid his hand upon her bare flesh. His touch was so delicate. He gazed deep into her eyes as his fingertips brushed lightly over her warm skin. Kailyn had never been touched quite like this before. The feel of her skin was more perfect than he had even imagined. She bit down softly on her lower lip as his fingers reached the curve of her breast. Very slowly, his hand moved over the fleshy mound. She let out a soft gasp as she felt the tips of his fingers trace her nipple. His eyes never left hers as his hand explored her chest.
She stared up at him inquisitively. Her dark eyes widened, shimmering as the lights hit them. Her lush pink lips part instinctively to draw a shallow gasp of air. Her heart pounds rapidly as the hunger for him spread through her soul. He stares back at her for a moment. In his eyes, an intense longing burned brighter than ever before. He had dreamt of being able to hold her for the longest time. Now it was finally a reality.
He lowered his head. Their eyes closed as their lips met once again for a gentle but passionate kiss. Both of them were incredibly nervous but overwhelmed with desire. Kailyn never knew she could feel like this. He moved his body over hers as his hand slid from under the shirt. She could feel the growing bulge in his pants pressing against her as they kissed. His tongue slipped into her mouth and began to tease hers.
He moaned into the kiss as she sucked lightly on his tongue. Her body writhed under the weight of his. Never before had she felt such an ache inside her. Her nails gently raked over the soft fabric of his shirt as she traced down his spine. He broke the kiss and sat back on his heels. Kailyn sat up slowly. He lifted her shirt, taking in her beauty as it slipped over her head. He dropped it to the floor. Her fingers worked quickly as she unbuttoned his shirt.
He had a remarkable body. She slid the open shirt over his shoulders and down his arms. Immediately, her fingertips began to glide over his newly revealed flesh. She was seeing him in a completely new light. The two of them felt as if they were virgins again. Each experience was so new to them, so awe inspiring. He laid her slowly back against the bed. He lightly kissed her lips, then down her chin to the hollow of her neck.
Kailyn closed her eyes, purring softly as his hot breath tickled her skin. She tilted her head back as Jesse's kisses continued to trail downward, over her breastbone and then moved across her right breast. Her chest began to rise and fall faster with each heavy breath. The taste of her skin just fueled his appetite. His lips brushed lightly against her nipple before taking it into his mouth. His lips closed softly around it as he began to suckle. A low moan slipped free as her body momentarily tensed from the sensation, making her crave more.
His hand moved along her left breast, as his fingers caressed. Her body had never felt so alive before. As his lips left her hardened pink nipple, she let out a disappointed sigh. His mouth soon found her other nipple, giving it the same loving attention. He then continued to venture lower with his kisses, over her stomach, stopping just shy of the shorts' waistband. His fingers snaked under the material and slowly peeled it from her. Her hips shifted, allowing him to do so with ease.
His eyes fed upon her as he stared at the naked goddess before him. To him, that was what she was, his goddess of love and desire. His lips again continued their pursuit of heaven as they moved further down her stomach and to her smoothly shaven mound. He nudges her legs further apart as he looks up at her again. His lips ravenously attacked her moist flesh as he placed a spirited kiss upon her clit.
Her fingers gripped the sheets tightly as her body was overcome with the soft ripples of pleasure. Kailyn shivered as his tongue continued to softly caress the little nub. His lungs filled with the intoxicating scent of her sex. He watched her body shudder and quake as it reacted to his tender licks and sucking. Her hips began to lift and rock as his intensity built. Her voice filled the room as her moans became louder and more passionate. He watched her face as it contorted in ecstasy.
"Oh god Jesse" she cried. "Oh god I'm so close."
His heart raced as her heard her moan his name. His tongue fervently flicked over the throbbing little bud. Her hand moved from the mattress and landed softly against his head as her fingers began to play with his hair. As her moans drifted to near screams of desire, his dark tresses intertwined with her fingers and she gripped him tightly. Her body shuddered hard as the orgasm tore through her. He quickened his pace until she fell exhaustedly back against the bed from the orgasm passing. He then slid his tongue to her velvety folds and lapped at the sweet ambrosia that flowed from her.
Her body twitched as she released her grip on his hair. Laying breathless and panting, she softly forced out a moan as his tongue darted deep between her puffy lips. He swirled it inside her as he gathered as much of her delicious juices as he could. He slowly pulled away and sat back on his heels. All around his mouth was glazed with her sweetness. She leaned up to meet him, pulling him in for a passionate kiss. Never before having tasted herself on anyone, her tongue probed his warm mouth and tongue. A new desire raged within her. She had an urgent need to return the favor.
Kailyn pulled back from the kiss and softly whispered "Now it's my turn" as she maneuvered around him, laying him back.
Jesse had never imagined this day would come or how perfect it would be. He held his breath as she knelt beside him for a moment. Her fingers quickly moving to unlatch his belt and unfasten his pants. She smiled with great delight as she saw the navy boxer briefs beneath. She wiggled his pants down and tossed them aside before hooking her fingers under the garment and pulling them down. His cock sprung free from the fabric it had been imprisoned uncomfortably in. She stared for a moment, surprised by his size.
Kailyn had such an innocence playing in her deep chestnut eyes. He leaned up as she positioned herself between his legs. He let out a soft gasp as her long slender fingers wrapped softly around his engorged manhood. Her crimson lips parted slowly as the soft pink tip of her tongue snuck out. It danced over the smooth tip as she gazed up at him. He could see it in her eyes. He knew she wanted this now as much as he did.
He swallowed hard as she planted a flurry of gentle kisses against the swollen head before closing her lush lips just below its ridged boundary. Her mouth was so wet and inviting as she began to very lightly suck. Her tongue swirled over his flesh as her fingers began to stroke up and down his length. He moaned as her pace quickened slightly. He knew he could not withstand this for long or he would succumb to her skillful mouth.
Her fingers slipped down a final time as she began to feed more of his throbbing muscle into her hungry mouth. His breathing became more erratic as her lips stretched tightly around him once reached the base of his cock. Her lips were so soft as they massaged his flesh. She continued for several minutes until the strain of holding back became almost painful. Her head bobbed slowly up and down as she watched his enjoyment. Finally, unable to withstand any more of her seduction, he lifted her head up. His member plopped free of her lips, followed by a disappointed sigh.
He took her into his arms as he kissed her deeply once again. His lips crushed hers as the passion between them reached its boiling point. He laid her back against the bed once more. He gently grasped his cock, positioned the tip between her velvet folds, and stroked it up and down them as she wiggled. She had to have him inside her.
Slowly he pushed forward, letting just the head penetrate her. His body rested on top of hers as he held her tenderly. She moaned into the kiss as she felt him sink inside her. He inched in, savoring the feel of her walls tightly hugging his shaft as it slipped deeper inside. He stopped once he had completely filled her, letting his swollen manhood rest enveloped in her warmth. Their bodies moved in perfect unison as they began to pump their hips. The passion-filled kiss continued as the two set a deeply penetrating yet slow pace.
Their intertwined bodies writhed together, covered in a thin sheen of sweat. He broke the kiss, lifting his head as he gazed into her eyes. It was the most beautiful moment either of them had ever experienced up until then. Her body trembled with such ecstasy, as she has never felt before. Her moan drifting into a passion-filled scream as he began to push slightly harder into her.
Their eyes remained locked as the intensity grew. Their symphony of moans filled the room, as they both grew closer. To him it wasn't just a joining of their bodies but a connection of their souls. Kailyn opened herself up completely to him, to the new feelings he had inspired. Her hips rocked to meet each of his thrusts as her nails raked over his glistening body.
"Oh Kailyn" he moaned softly.
"Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh my god Jesse" each of her words punctuated with a moan of delight.
He felt her muscles clench around him as she fought off the orgasm that had built inside her. He began to thrust faster, the wet friction of her around him making his balls seize. He could feel the boiling hot fluid rushing up his shaft and about to be released.
"Let it go Kailyn" he coaxed. "Let it happen"
The words sent her spiraling over the edge. The orgasm washed over her like a tidal wave, forcing her body to shudder and tremble beneath him. Her walls tightened in a flurry of spasms around his throbbing shaft as his thick milky seed ejected deep into her womb. Their bodies shook as they reached a heightened elation. Her juices pour out of her velvety wet folds, baptizing his swollen pulsing muscle deep inside her. He collapsed on top of her as the two shared another kiss.
Her body was still shaking as she slowly came down from the orgasmic bliss. His hand landed gently against the soft curve of her neck as he gazed into her eyes. His thumb lightly stroked her cheek.
"I really love you Kailyn," he softly whispered before his lips tenderly brushed hers again.
She slowly broke the kiss and looked up at him. Her lower lip quivered as she tried to speak. He quickly placed his fingers against her lips. A reassuring smile crossed his face as he held it there.
"You don't have to say anything now... I know when the time is right you will."
That night Kailyn fell asleep in Jesse's arms. With her head resting against his chest, the soft beating of his heart lulled her into a sense of complete security. A feeling that she had not felt in such a long time. Each breath he drew his lungs were filled with the lingering scent of her shampoo. He soon fell into a deep sleep, filled of dreams of the future.
Morning came all too quickly for the lovers. Jesse awoke and Kailyn was gone. For a moment, he thought it was all a dream. He slipped out of his bed and caught a glimpse of himself in the dresser mirror. He studied the dark shiner he had for a moment and smiled slightly. It could not have been a dream. As he walked down the hall, he heard the sound of the shower running. He smiled as he stopped outside the bathroom door.
He could hear her voice as she sang softly in the shower. Jesse quietly opened the door and slipped inside. He could see her silhouette through the shower door. He stared for a moment before he moved closer. He opened the door to the shower without her noticing.
Not wanting to frighten her, he softly whispered "Good morning Kailyn".
His arms encircled her wet body as he hugged her. His chin rested against her shoulder. She smiled as she turned her head slightly to look at him. He loosened his grip enough so that she could turn to face him. When their eyes met, the connection they shared was almost magical. He leaned in slowly as their lips met. Her eyes closed as her arms gently wrapped around him. That was all it took to spark the passions between them. Kailyn could not believe how she felt about him. It was all happening so fast but it felt so natural.
He gently lifted her up, holding on to her tightly. Kailyn's legs instinctively wrapped around his waist. His hand slid down her soapy back and paused at her sweet rounded cheek. Jesse's shaft was already painfully hard. He reached down, guiding the head toward her puffy pink pussy lips. She let out a soft moan into the kiss as it began to penetrate her. The kiss became even more passionate as she felt him sink deeper inside her. Her back pressed again the smooth, cool wall of the shower as he pushed her against it.
The kiss was broken as Kailyn's voice filled the room. A passionate moan broke free as Jesse's thrusts became faster and fiercer. Their eyes remained locked on one another's as the emotions between them became so strong that they were palpable. Her juices began to trickle down his shaft. She was completely lost in the passion that he had ignited deep within her soul. She gave herself over to him completely as he continued to push deep inside her.
"Oh god... oh my god.... OH JESSEEEEEEEE" she cried out.
His moans mixed with hers as their souls felt intertwined. They stared deep into each other's eyes as her body began to tremble. Jesse held Kailyn tight against his body. He loved the sound of her voice as she cried out his name. It was like throwing gasoline on the fires that already raged inside him. He began to thrust harder into her velvety folds. Her nails raked over his naked, wet back. He could not hold back any longer. He thrust into her again, this time holding his member deep inside her as it flooded her with his essence.
"Kailyn" he softly moaned.
The two kissed again, more passionately than ever. It was hard to believe that less than twelve hours ago this was all a fantasy to him. He never actually thought he would feel her warmth wrapped around him in such a steamy embrace. He held her there. His arms encircled tightly around her. She could feel him growing soft inside her. As his deflated manhood slid out of her, he gently lowered her to her feet.
The two tenderly washed each other before exiting the shower. Kailyn slipped back into the shorts and t-shirt he had lent her the night before. They both knew that Brian would be looking for her. That was just how he was. Unless he decided it was over, it never was. Now that he knew Jesse was going to protect her, he was just that more determined to get back at both of them.
Jesse stayed with Kailyn for the remainder of the day before she had to be at DiGrazzio's for closing shift. The other girls just whispered and stared when he walked her in. She knew that they had all heard about what happened at the party. She was determined not to let it get to her. She hugged Jesse before he departed and quickly disappeared into the back.
The night seemed to drag on endlessly. None of them had the nerve to say a word to Kailyn. They just continued to talk behind her back all night like people normally do when there is a juicy bit of gossip. As the night wore on, she grew increasingly annoyed with their constant chattering. The only thing that kept her sane was knowing that Jesse would be back at the end of the shift to pick her up. Finally, 11 o'clock rolled around.
Completely sure that nothing would happen that night, Kailyn told the others to go on ahead instead of waiting with her for his arrival. She over near the streetlight in the center of the parking lot and leaned against it as she stared out into the dark night. Her thoughts pulled her mind away from where she was as she thought of all the possibilities with Jesse. She was so lost in her own daydreams she did not notice a car coming into the parking lot and slowly creeping behind her.
The car door swung open and before she could turn around, she felt a hand wrap around her mouth. She immediately began to panic. The smell... that scent... It was Brian. She knew the cologne he always wore. He pulled her body back against him and held on to her tightly as he backed toward the car.
"You are going to pay for embarrassing me Kailyn... and cheating on me. I know you fucked Jesse you little slut. You are still mine," he hissed.
She struggled to get away but he easily overpowered her. His hand slid down over her stomach, gathering up the material of her skirt with his hand as he tried to get under it. Kailyn tried to scream but his hand remained clamped over her mouth. He was not going to let her get away. His fingertips rudely grazed the thin white thong that stood between him and her shaven pussy. She continued to squirm as she tried her hardest to get free of his grasp.
"Where's you little lover boy now?" he laughed as his finger nudged the edge of her panties. "Oh wait... I forgot. He is not coming tonight. I think the guys will keep him busy for a while so me and you can have some fun."
Kailyn's heart sank. She feared the worse. Brian always had a way of taking care of problems like that. Deep down she used to love it, knowing that her boyfriend could always protect her with help from his friends. Jesse was the fiercest one of them though. She hoped against hope that he would rescue her now.
Brian turned around and forced her body against the hood of his car. The parking lot was completely desolate. Tears streamed down her face as he pressed her upper body down against the warm metal. He kept his hand over her mouth as his hand slid down to her panties once again. She could feel the bulge in his pants pressing against her round cheeks. Futilely she tried her best to kick at him,
He managed to get her panties half way down her thighs, when a car came speeding into the parking lot. Brian did not leg go of Kailyn just yet. He assumed it was his friends and did not even turn to look. The car parked just behind Brian. Leaving the engine running, a figure wearing bloodied, ripped clothing got out holding a Louisville Slugger in his right hand. Receiving a swift blow to the back, Brian collapsed against Kailyn, releasing his grip on her. She pushed him off her and quickly got out of his reach.
When she turned and saw Jesse standing there, covered in blood she began to cry. In her heart, she knew he would rescue her. She ran to him, throwing her arms around him and holding on tightly to him. He hugged her back for a moment then pulled away, leaving her a little confused at that moment.
"Get in the car Kailyn and lock the doors," he growled.
Her eyes widened. She had never seen him like this. She did as she was told and climbed in the car, locking the doors immediately. Jesse moved closer to Brian.
"I see you will never change will you, you worthless fuck" Jesse snarled.
"Fuck you Jesse. Can't fight like a man huh... had to bring a bat" Brian whined as he climbed to his feet, holding his badly bruised back.
"Yeah just as manly as you, sending your three little fuck buddies after me with it. I took it from your little friend and broke his kneecaps with it. So what did you do Brian, offer them blow jobs if they beat me down, or are you going to let them fuck you?" Jesse sniped.
"You bastard" Brian groaned and ran at Jesse.
In a single movement, Jesse picked him up and slammed him hard into the asphalt. The two grappled for several minutes until Jesse pinned him down and gave him a swift punch to the face. A sickening crack filled the night air. Brian's eyes did not open. Jesse stared down at him in disbelief for a moment or two. He could feel him barely moving as he struggled to breathe.
Kailyn watched the situation unfolding before her from the safety of the car. She unlocked the door as Jesse ran to the car. She could see a panic in his eyes. She took his hand in hers. He was shaking. He could not believe how badly he wanted to kill Brian or how close he came to doing so. He looked at Kailyn, searching her eyes for a moment.
"Are you ok?" he asked
"Yes I'm ok Jesse... are you?"
He simply nodded and they left the parking lot. Kailyn remained quiet until they reached Jesse's place. She knew deep down he would never hurt her but she had never seen him so upset. She followed him into the apartment. He carried the bat inside. Once she was in, he locked the door. He dropped the bat and just looked at her. Kailyn turned around, staring into his eyes silently. Jesse was shaking. He grabbed her and pulled her to him, hugging her tightly.
"Oh god Kailyn" he whispered. "I am so sorry."
She pulled away enough to look at his face for a moment. She was clearly puzzled.
"What are you talking about?"
"If I had been there sooner...," he said quietly.
"Jesse, you saved me. He didn't hurt me" she coaxed as he pulled her to him once again.
He was still covered in blood. She was not sure where it had all came from, only that there was a massive amount of it. She looked up at him again as tears filled her eyes. She pulled out of his arms and took his hand in hers. He looked confused as she started to pull him.
"Let's get you cleaned up" she softly choked out as she led him to the bathroom. "I want to see how injured you really are."
Jesse reluctantly followed her to the bathroom. His thoughts were only of how if he was a couple of minutes late that bastard would have raped Kailyn. She could tell something was bothering him by his silence. She had known him far to long not to realize when something was on his mind. She adjusted the temperature of the water and let the tub fill. Jesse undressed quietly, glancing up at her from time to time.
Kailyn noticed as he shed the bloody clothing that most of his wounds were superficial. She started to wonder just how bad he had hurt the others. Jesse climbed into the tub without a word. His silence was really hard to take. She could not quite understand what was happening with him.
"Is everything ok Jesse?" she inquired as she knelt beside the tub.
He just nodded. She grabbed a clean washcloth from the cabinet under the sink and dunked it under the water. He stared at the water, thinking to himself the entire time. Kailyn soaped up the wet cloth and began to wash his body. She sighed softly and decided that she would not let him keep whatever was bothering him from her.
"Listen Jesse... I know something is wrong. We have been friends forever. Please just talk to me" she softly pleaded.
He turned and looked into her eyes. She could see something was really hurting him.
"I couldn't protect you tonight. I just can't stop thinking about what if I hadn't got there when I did. I mean that fucker could have..." he shook his head as he clenched his fists. "I can't even deal with the thought of him touching you like that."
"Jesse if it wasn't for you he would have done much worse. You saved me. I knew deep down that you would. I..." she sighs softly as she puts her hand on his cheek, turning his face toward hers. "Tonight... when I saw you standing there, covered in blood with that look in your eye... I got scared. It wasn't because I thought you would hurt me. I knew you wouldn't. I know you never would. All I thought was "oh my god what did they do". I was terrified that you were hurt badly because of me."
"I would never hurt you" he replied.
"Part of me has always loved you...Jesse, I realized something tonight. I didn't love you as a friend. I don't know why I didn't see it before. I don't know if I just didn't want to admit it to myself because I was with Brian or what. I have never been as close to anyone as I am to you. I love you Jesse. I really love you." her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
Jesse's eyes widened as if he could not believe what he was hearing. He hoped some day she would say those words but he never suspected that it would happen this soon. He grabbed her and hugged her tight. She felt so relieved having said it. He released her from the embrace and looked deep into her eyes for a moment.
"You do not know how happy you have made me. I love you so much Kailyn. I can not think of life without you now" he tenderly stroked her cheek as he spoke.
He leaned in to kiss her. They both closed their eyes as their lips touched. This kiss was so different from any they had shared. It was so passionate, so tender, and so loving. Kailyn felt the spark inside her ignite into a soul consuming wildfire. She could not breathe. She could not think. She could only feel her emotions take over. She was finally truly free to show him how she felt. There was no more fear, just love.
Once they broke the kiss, he rinsed himself off. He wanted her more than anything in life. His mind began to race. He wanted to make her see what he felt for her. He wanted to prove his love in every way. That night they drove to her place and gathered up some of her things. She fell asleep in the safety of his arms for the second time. He watched her sleep for what felt like an eternity. His eyes finally shut as he drifted off to sleep, leaving the reality that was better than any dream he could have possibly dreamt.
