Not every Girl needs a Hero
Notes:
Just to thank everyone who kept up with this story. I appreciate all your time
It turned into something massive though that was never my intention when I typed the first 6 chapters as I wrote just to clear my head.
If I'm honest its still not finished in my head and I could still write more but I guess all things do need to end. (who knows maybe the temptation will be too great to resist at some point)
My apologies for any errors (now trying to go back and edit them out) a lot of this was written in the small hours of the morning when I haven't been able to sleep and sometimes the flow was so quick my head wrote quicker than I could type
There was never any plot set out I just wrote as I went along making it up only to find in the end its kind of ended up with a plot :)
I've come to so many ending points or thought I'd dug myself into a corner but reviews and people enjoying it kept it coming back to life.
Please enjoy and don't forget to leave a review I love reading your thoughts . Thank you x
SEAL TEAM – Secrets and Lies
Chapter 1 Not every Girl needs a Hero
Clay's sat at the bar drinking beer.
He's trying to decide whether to send Stella a Birthday text or not? wondering if he really want to open that wound up?
He only has half his attention on the phone as he's distracted by a woman. She's caught his attention not only because she's really attractive but also because she's been hitting the whiskey shots hard for over an hour now and this gains his curiosity
He smiles as he watches her order another before looking back down at his phone.
As he looks up again taking a swig from his beer he notices that's she's now not on her own as she's getting hassled by some muscle head guy. He was part of a group who'd been sitting at a table behind Clay all evening. It appears one of the group is now trying to action comments they made earlier about things they wanted to do to her.
Clay watches them keeping an eye on the situation.
"Come on you know you want me. You've been watching you give me the come on all night"
He's pulling and tugging at her Trying to get her to kiss him but she just keeps pushing him off.
"GET...OFF.. ME! she pushes him back again but still he keeps grabbing with his hands all over her. The rest of his group seem content to watch on and not stop him.
Clay let's it play out a little but he readies himself to step in.
"Hey!.. I'll have another beer when you're ready" he nods at the barman. He really doesn't need the drama of getting involved but if it doesn't stop he won't have any choice
"Hey guys...will you knock it off" the barman shouts over shaking his head. "I can do without the hassle tonight!"
As the guy looks round at the barman, she swings out with a hard punch which catches him full on the chin. He wasn't expecting it and It causes him to rock back in pain.
"Woah" Clay's impressed "she landed that just right... Jeez! that was some punch"
It was and it causes him to lunge forward in her face
"You stupid bitch" he rubs his chin "you're gonna get what's coming to you"
"Get the hell away from me then!... I warned you!"
"So help me god" he raises his fist and continues to rub his chin. He's so angry that he nearly lashes out at her. She made him feel a fool with that punch but realising people are watching he chooses to let it go and picks up his jacket from the chair "You're NOT worth the effort you cheap tramp"
Clay makes the decision he can't sit by and watch anymore and he gets up and goes over "Is there a problem here?"
"None of your damn business" the guy turns and sneers at Clay "Go back to your beer kid and stay out of this!"
"Looks like she doesn't seem interested to me" Clay stays calm and controlled.
"and what would you know?" the guy turns and fronts him up. Clay doesn't want trouble but he also won't back down.
The guy looks Clay up and down getting the measure of him. Sensing he looks like he can handle himself he decides to back off and not push it.
He sniffs loudly and shakes his head "You know what... you're welcome to her!" as he spits in her direction
One of the other guys in the group, English Clay thinks from the way he talks, makes an off the cuff remark "looks like it's your lucky day" he nods at Clay and laughs "Daddy came and saved you"
He then grabs his jacket from the chair and pushes past Clay to join his friend.
Clay nods and smiles at the guy "Okay?... thanks for that I have no idea what you're talking about"
The last guy in the group shoves Clay in the chest as he leaves
He turns around to find that she's now gone back to the bar. She's totally ignored him and his help
"Thank you!.. and.. you're welcome" Clay says to himself
"Another Whiskey shot!" she demands from the barman
"Do you really need another? "
"I know what I don't need... that's a lecture. Now get me another whiskey?"
The barman sighs. "you know you sure have got some attitude!" He reluctantly pours another shot "That's the last one you're having"
She shakes her head, pays and necks the shot down then raises the empty glass to the barman before turning to look at Clay and raises it to him with a smirk.
Clay smiles, shaking his head "she's seriously got some attitude... Still drama over" He sits back down with his beer and goes back to his phone
He's still watching her out of the corner of his eye. She's trying to sit on the high bar stool but she loses her footing completely and ends up with a thud on the floor.
"She is so drunk" Clay laughs and shakes his head. Watching her is giving him quiet amusement.
She struggles to get up. Finally unable to watch any longer he offers a hand.
"I'm fine I can manage...get off me" she pushes Clay off before staggering backwards and as she nearly lands on the table behind her he grabs her arm and holds her upright
"I said I'm fine.. just get the fuck off me" she snaps
"Yeah1... Sure you are" Clay rolls his eyes. He lets go and goes back to his seat with his beer
She frowns at his lack of attention now "What YOU don't think I'm Okay?... You think I'm drunk?" she laughs as she grabs Clay's arm and pulls at it for attention
"No...I'm sure you're fine...you said so!" he's certainly not going to get in an argument with her in this state.
"Yeah Whatever!... " she dismisses him "...you know not every girl needs a hero" she picks up her bag and stumbles her way out of the door.
Clay shakes his head and laughs. "Did that really just happen"
He finishes up his beer, looks at his watch and decides maybe it was time he left too.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
As he walks out the door to the bar he spots the group of guys from earlier. They're suspiciously still hanging around, standing by a dark colored truck. They're watching the woman as she drunkenly stumbles across the parking lot.
"What are they waiting for?" Clay frowns keeping his eye on them
One throws down his cigarette as if he is about to make a move. He stops when he spots Clay watching them. He smiles "Hey kid... I hear she's cheap... was she any good? I'm thinking of having a turn?"
Clay shakes his head ignoring the comments. He weighs up the potential situation and decides he may need to intervene as she seems totally oblivious to the potential danger. She's hurrying to where she thinks she parked and she fumbles with the keys in her hand as she tries to unlock the rental car door.
"That's NOT a good idea" Clay got in front of her and is standing by the car.
She looks up "Oh not you again!... Just leave me the hell alone!"
Clay snatches the keys from her, a fairly easy task given the amount of drink she's consumed "You can't drive in that state"
"Who cares? ...I'll do what I want... I told you I'm fine!..now leave me the hell alone!" she makes a grab for the keys
"uhh! uhh! No way!" Clay shakes his head and puts the keys in his pocket.
she scowls at him
"Hey look..." he softens his tone " let me give you a lift? It's not safe for you to stay here" he looks back at the guys still standing by the truck.
She looks back and the guy that she hit earlier starts shouting. "Hey Bitch you gonna give me a turn when he's done?
Clay sees the look on her face as she tries to ignore his comments "I can take care of myself thanks!"
"Come on!...look I promise..." he puts his hands up "...Just a ride home? That's it!" He smiles "You can pick this up tomorrow " Clay tips his head on one side."Please?...just a lift home?..its not safe here"
She smiles he's young but even this drunk she can see he's very cute. She's getting tired so she reluctantly agrees "Okay!... I'm staying at motel down the block its not far"
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"So what's your name" Clay smiles as he watches her. She's leaning on the window of the truck closing her eyes, dropping off to sleep in the passenger seat. It looks like the drink's catching up with her now.
"errrmm...everyone calls me C.J" she says rubbing her head. She doesn't feel so good now.
"I'm Clay but some people call me Spenser" he smiles
at long last she finally returns a smile."Oh... you're Cute" she laughs. She closes her eyes again for a moment but then not feeling good she calls out
"Oh god STOP! ...Stop!..Stop!"
He jams on the brakes as she opens truck door and steps out into the road. She really doesn't feel well and thinks she's gonna throw throw up
"Oh god! Not good!" she leans forward her head's spinning.
Now she leans her head back against the side of the truck. She's trying to get some cool air so that she doesn't throw up. "phewww!" she swallows hard
Clay offers a bottle of water he keep in the front of the truck
"Thanks!" she takes a moment and a large sip of waterh "urrghhh!...Jeez.. I do not feel good!" she catches her reflection in the side mirror "Oh God!... I don't look good either " she tries to tidy her hair
Clay doesn't want to agree but can't disagree either "Drink the water! it all all seem better tomorrow" he smiles
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
They arrive at the motel. Clay gets her keys out of his pocket and tries to find the one for the door.
"You have to wiggle it a bit. It's stiff " she's leaning her chin on his shoulder flirtatiously smiling
"Right" he smiles and shakes his head.
She brushes past him as he opens the door "Bit like you" she smiles again as she runs her hand across his groin.
He laughs to himself
Once through the door he places her keys on the small table just inside.
She's already stripped off naked "I need a shower!"
"Oh! errrmmm Okay!..." he doesn't know where to look "Well I'll leave these here and head off " He looks round just as her naked behind goes into the bathroom.
"God!..she is fit" he smiles to himself
"There's cold beer in the fridge" she shouts over the noise of the water
Now Clay's unsure what to do. He's thinking about the situation. She must be older than him. 34/35 he'd guess but there is definitely something about her he likes. He takes a deep breath, seeing that naked body which he has to admit was pretty darn fit, has fired up his natural instincts and sent them into overdrive.
"Okay! ... What the hell" He shrugs as he looks in the fridge for a beer.
The TV's still on. She must have left it on when she left earlier. Football. He sits on edge of bed with a beer to watch.
She's out of the shower now and wearing only a small towel standing in front of him. Her long dark wet hair is pinned on top her head.
"Yeah! There's definitely something about her" and Clay likes it.
She takes his beer from his hand and starts to drink it, giving him a seductive smile as she does. Standing between his legs looking down at him drinking his beer
"Phewwwww! " he lets out a long sighs she's definitely turning him on now
He keeps watching her. Trying to work out exactly what she wants. He smiles and she smiles back. She's biting her lip while he looks her up and down!
"Oh god she's hot... but do I really want another one night stand?" his mind's in total cos if he's being honest all he's really thinking is "I just want have her right now"
He keeps looking at her and finally gives in . "What the hell if she's up for it so am I. Sonny would be saying go for it ..."
He runs his hand up her thigh caressing her soft clean skin under the towel. He reaches the softness at the top of her legs.
She doesn't move as she stands there. biting her lip watching him as she finishes the beer. Closing her eyes as she lets out a gentle sigh of anticipation.
She's enjoying his touch and lets out another breathless sigh as she undoes her towel and drops it to the floor then leans in to kiss him.
He can feel she wants him and now he's really turned on.
He moves his hand on to the curves of her waist slowly sliding them down and around the pert shape of her butt. He pulls her close towards him. She's kissing him and willing him to her with every soft kiss as he kisses her back.
His lips are on hers. Their tongues entwined. making him more and more turned on. He brings her down on to the bed, on her back whilst undoing his belt. Now there's nothing going to stop him giving in to his sexual desires
He kisses into her neck, down her collarbone and over her breasts. Across and around each one, over all her soft skin.
Thee touch of his lips she lets out a deep sigh. With each kiss she wants him more and more.
She arcs her back bringing her body forward to his touch. "uhhhhh!" Now each new touch brings another wave of longing and tingling excitement inside her.
He stands back and takes his pants off and pulls his T shirt over his head and drops it to the floor as he Just stands looking at her lying there on the bed.
He has to admit she's gorgeous and he wants her so badly. He's pressing against her and can feel her firm grip on on his skin pulling him, willing him to take her.
"Oh.. god!" She runs her hands over his fit toned chest feeling every inch of each of those hard muscles before she pulls him down on to her letting out another gasp of pleasure as he pushes deep and hard inside her.
This is certainly a heat of the moment fuck, there's nothing tender about it, as he uses all his strength against her but she's not delicate and embraces each powerful motion, forcing herself back against him.
"Oh God!" she gasps "Clay...don't stop!..urrghhh!" Now she can't hold as she reaches her a peak and that wave of pleasure fills every part of her
She closes her eyes and enjoys the moment and she shuts him out from her world as she rides her wave.
He also lets go. He was holding back for her. Waiting till he felt that surge of fulfillment from her and then he just collapses with sexual exhaustion against her naked hot skin.
"Oh god that was good" he smiles "I haven't fucked like that before.!"
The power and the energy they created he's felt nothing like that. He's always so aware of his strength when he's with a woman, but this ...with her ...he could just let go. She could take and match his strength with her own.
She's breathing hard now catching some air.
He kisses her again as she rest her head on his on his chest while he lays on his back giving him a satisfied smile.
Leaning up she gives him a smile and kisses him looking him direct in the face. She has this sexual spark in her eyes that makes him want to do it again.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Daylight's coming through curtains and she squints at the light and the noise from the TV which they must have left on.
Looking around she assess the fall out from the night before. Turning her now delicate head to look at the naked guy next to her.
She lies back looking at the ceiling the closes her eyes and sighs.
"Oh Shit" She looks once again at the guy next to her and lets out another longer sigh this time. Her head's banging and she checks the time on her phone
"Shit!"
"You say something" Clay turns over and smiles at her
"OH!" She smiles
"Not bad" she thinks to herself. Younger than normal but pretty hot looking. Not that she's remembering much about what happen last night but what she does remember it felt pretty good.
He smiles, again reassuringly "You Okay?"
"Yeah" she nods "fine just a bit …. " she sighs "You know... " she rubs her head and fingers through her hair.
Clay brushes the hair from around her face and leans in to kiss her.
"Hmmm! Oh Yeah!"
now she remembers last night was pretty good. She smiles.
They lay quiet while she watches him, not quite sure what to say.
He leans in and kisses her again and she relaxes and it doesn't take long for them to be back in a sexual embrace.
This time it's all much softer more intimate. They're just taking their time with each other. Slow and controlled.
Fingers caressing and exploring each others skin. Gentle excited kisses on her breast. Teasing small kisses touching her nipples it brings waves of pleasure nearly to peak then stopping and just backing off enough not to lose the excitment
They're both kissing and touching. Teasing and tormenting their bodies between them.
Everything's about pleasure this time not just about the sex.
It's about bringing each other to a near peak holding back and letting the feeling subside. It allows wave after wave of tension to build until finally Clay can't hold, the peak tips over and he let's go of his excitement and pleasure "Oh GOD!...sorry!"
She smiles watching him then she closes her eyes pushing herself towards him.
He stays with her until she's able to finish what they started. Pushing harder against him until she's able to ride her wave of pleasure as well.
He lays quiet as she relaxes. Feeling the curve of her back with his fingers.
He's wondering if sex can get better than that but he know one thing he sure as hell wants to find out and as many times as it takes. She's like a drug and he definitely wants more.
They lay there drifting in and out of sleep. She's deep in thought still running her fingers over his skin.
She frowns "What did you say you do again?"
he coughs "Gym instructor... on the Navy Base" he lies. He wonders if she really bought his story. It always feels bad lying about what he does but sometimes it's easier that way.
He changes the subject "I'm hungry how about you?"
"Starving!...You wanna eat?"
He's looking at her laying next to him and running his hands down her curves he feels a stirring in his groin again. "she is just so fit" He sighs.
"How about we order in?" as he runs his hand up the inside of her thigh.
"Mmmmm!...Sounds good to me" she smiles. "you want Pizza and Beer?" She picks up the takeout menu from the side drawer.
His hand reaches the top of her thigh "You know what? .. we'll eat In a while" he smiles as he takes the menu from her hand, throws it on the floor and pulls her on top of him.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
They lay in bed eating the pizza they ordered. They've been talking for quite sometime now, well in between having more sex and drinking quite a lot of beer.
They're just so comfortable and relaxed with each other.
"So tell me a sad story?" she smiles playfully at him.
"A sad story?... Are you serious" he's puzzled.
She's sat there in front of him, legs crossed under her wearing only his T-Shirt "God she looks sexy" He thinks as he run his fingers across the soft skin on her legs
"Yeah you know people who have drunken one night stands they all have sad stories...everyone knows that right?" she smiles
"Okay!...a sad story you want?" He's puzzled by the question "Let me think?... well my girlfriend split up with me at time when I needed her" he pauses
"is that sad?"
"No not really" she laughs taking a mouthful of pizza "You love her?... Your girlfriend?"
"Yeah!... Yeah suppose I do" he stops "..did!... Wait! I;n not sure I'm suppose to tell a girl I'm in bed with that I love another girl?"
she shrugs "You think she was the one?"
"I hoped. Maybe?"
"Okay... this doesn't seem a very sad story. Surely you can do better than that" she laughs "So why you pick up a lonely girls in bars?"
"That's what you are...a lonely girl?" He frowns and laughs "Okay! you want more sad? " he takes a deep breath "well My dad is an ass. He uses me when he wants something. Wasn't around much when I was a kid so guess... I have Dad issues"
She smiles and raises her beer "Okay well thanks to your ex girlfriend, cos that means I've had some great sex" she laughs "and here's to having Ass's for Dads & the issues they bring...Cheers!"
She gives a more serious look "Do you think it's over ... You and your girlfriend I mean?"
Clay takes a deep breath. "When me and Stella split I would've done anything to be back with her but now...now I'm not so sure she's what I want?"
She's eating the last slice of pizza "You know you should text her if you want to get her back?...see how she's doing! Girls like that stuff...or so I'm told" she laughs
"OK... I'll think about that advice" he smiles and takes a swig of his beer.
They sit quiet for a while. She's still drinking more beer.
"so come on then I told you mine, what's your sad story?" he looks at her watching her drinking wondering how she's managed to drink more beers than him.
"Yours wasn't a sad story...well not a very good one" she laughs. She's unsure of what to say "Oh! I don't really have one" she shrugs
"I'm sure that's not true. Girls that pick up lonely guys in bars always have a story" He laughs.
She smiles and finishes up her pizza and wipes her hands. She's hesitating to say anything then finally she takes a deep breath
"Okay...well where do I start... errrmm... there was a guy I was in.. in love with... I mean really in love. Thought he was the 'one' but …errrmm " she stops and takes a moment having some more of her beer
Clay laughs "Don't tell me... Let me guess...he was married?"
She laughs "predictable eh?...Yeah! ..Yeah he was married.." she sighs "I thought he would leave his wife ...the usual story"
"and he didn't"
"well yeah kinda...Well No! not in the end! Oh it's confusing" she shakes her head "He did tell her... about me but errrmm... well things it just got complicated that's all"
She swigs the beer again. Clay looks confused and frowns at her "complicated?"
"I made a stupid mistake. ... bit of a talent!" she smiles "oh!...errrmmm...what do I say ... I thought he wouldn't go through with it, Leave her I mean ...so...I went out,got drunk...another talent" she awkwardly laughs "and errmm...much like last night.. I slept with someone and ... well errrmmm ..he found out and he wouldn't forgive me... Big mistake"
She necks the rest of the beer down
"WOW "Clay nods his head not really knowing what to say "Guess that would do it...I mean...sleeping with someone ..." Clay shrugs "so what happened?"
She pauses again."that was it... Oh! It got real messy for a while..." She pauses "because of the situation... it was complicated...very complicated. But .." she shrugs " there was no going back for us...can't actually believe he was gonna leave her!... I'd have never have guessed" she sighs and shakes her head "Like I say my mistake"
she takes another beer "I made some really wrong choices that night"
"He didn't try to work it out?...if he was serious and wanted to be with you?"
She drinks from her beer "No! ... No there was no way .. he wouldn't talk about it .. would give me a chance to explain... just cut me off" she thinks to herself "just the way he was"
"And the one night stand?... you didn't see him again?"
"No...No that was just two friends stupid friends who were in the wrong place... at the same time" her head replays that night "Like I said ... my stupid mistake. I should never have let it happen but... there we have it "
Clay can see's it playing on her mind.
He kisses her "It's okay.. " he smiles and raises his beer "Here's to bad life choices!"
"Bad life choices" she smiles
He clinks his bottle against hers "and sad stories"
"and Sad Stories" She laughs putting the beer bottle on the side table and starts kissing him again as she straddles her legs over him. Sitting on top she leans forward to kiss him again.
He puts his hands under her T-shirt, gripping her waist holding her hips pulling down tighter against him. She's closes her eyes.
Forgetting all about the past she's going to be losing herself in this moment.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
It's late morning when they come round and she's laying on Clay's chest. He has his arms round her.
She leans over and looks at her phone checking the time and the messages.
"You know this is the 3rd day we've been in this room and not gone out" she shakes her head laughing
"Yeah!" he frowns as he looks at the bottles and takeout boxes accumulating on the floor
"surely those Gym bunnies are going to be missing you?... I mean you can't keep wagging work and..." she puts her phone back down and sighs "...looks like my meeting is off. So I errrmm... I have to go back to Washington for a while"
Clay breathes deep he's not sure how he feels about not seeing her but this is a very unreal situation that he's got carried away in.
He knows it has to come to an end. "You're right. I do have to go back to work" he's been lucky he hasn't been spun up but that's going to come to an abrupt end soon and then how will he explain it?
No ending it now is probably for the best.
"I'll probably be back in a couple of weeks can I errrmm... call you? perhaps meet up again?...or are you gonna send that text to your girlfriend?" she smiles at him.
"Call me... see what the situation is. We'll take it from there" Clay cuts himself off now. Thinking about everything its probably for the best he thinks if he doesn't see her again.
Clay's getting dressed as she lays on her front on the bed watching him. She gets the feeling from his tone that she won't be seeing him again.
