Chapter 7

Everyone was focused on the mission, to get rid of the Patriots. Miles and Monroe had established a plan who could respond back strongly to the patriots. They were going to lead an attack to their camp. Thirty men had been add to their little group, everyday miles and Monroe trained the men in a large field behind the safety house. Charlie used to drop by some times to train some of the men too, and it allowed her to keep in good shape. For his part Connor was practicing with the men that had joined them, he was good with a sword but not enough. Monroe used to stared at Charlie when she was practicing, the way her body moved as she was dancing a ballet; It was beautiful. She was beautiful, how many times did he stopped himself from kissing her or taking her against a wall. They have been avoiding each other since their last talk. Both had a shitty mood , mostly Monroe who was more upset he wanted to know if his son was still sleeping with his Charlie . He needed to find a way to know the truth without appearing suspicious, also he wanted things to get better between the two of them. His stubborn mind was made .

That day Charlie had been more pissed than ever, things were falling apart. Her mind was upside down. What she has done with Bass' son seemed so wrong now that she was repelled by even the thought of doing it again with him. A brilliant idea had come to the young man's brain, during breakfast Connor had come to her claiming he wanted more, just not some one night stand. However Charlie said no, she had realized she had made a terrible mistake by sleeping with him, the boy was nice and all but she didn't even like him. Most important Connor wasn't the right one for her, she had never really wanted him. After all this time, Charlie finally admitted to herself that she wanted Sebastian Monroe. She has been on the edge since that discover , Charlie was voiding him by every way possible. Today at the practice she needed to letting go of all her thought so she fought hard, beating every men down one by one. Without even looking at them, until he came. Monroe had decided to fight against her, weirdly she was excited about it. His eyes were focused on her, she knew for his blind spot but he wasn't worried about her taking him down. He saw in her eyes the entertainment and knew she wasn't upset.

They came into the circles made by the spectators, the crowd wanted to see the famous fight between the two of them: Bass vs. Charlie. Walking around each other as they looked into the other's eyes, Charlie attacked the first. The fight was hard but both enjoyed it . It has been a long time since they actually fight without keeping back their skills. Both attacked were extremely good, Charlie got unfocused after cutting Monroe' shirt with her sword, he had to take it off. Topless in front of her, his muscles and tan sweaty skin, she wanted to take him. As she was in her fought he has made his move, startled by his fast motion she fell but got up right away to reply back, this time harder. Monroe hasn't expected such strength. Even in the everyday life he was always surprised by her next move, that what he liked about her. Regardless his thought he succeeded at noticing that some of her move were actually his, she had just stylized them in her own way. He grinned at her, Charlie understood that he had noticed her little trick. Both tired, they stopped in accord, Charlie grinned at him and went in direction of the river. She needed to breath away from him. He had completely charmed her.

Bass was completely disarmed, his little training with Charlotte had absolutely shaken him. They have left each other with excitement , they couldn't fight their attraction anymore. They knew they have come to a limit, which if they crossed there would be no turning back. Bass needed to be with Charlie, to touch her, to kiss her. He wanted to feel her bare skin against his.

During this day, they have avoided each other, not daring to escalate their mutual attraction. Both were on the edge, it has been so long since Monroe hadn't been with a woman, Charlie had on him a grip that had initially pissed him off but now it felt different. Of course he was still annoyed by it sometimes however he usually loved it, for him it meant that she knew everything of him. His weakness, his strength, his fear, his joy, his demons and his past. Yet she was still talking to him, and after this afternoon he also knew she was attracted to him.

Night had fallen, everyone was asleep and Monroe couldn't sleep, he decided to go to the river to swim a little. Before the blackout he used to go swim every week but now he has rarely the occasion. He had taken off his clothes, dipped in the water. He was letting his mind free of any problem he has and it felt good.

Charlie couldn't sleep either, what had happened today was still overwhelming her. She couldn't be attracted to Monroe, he had his father's age, she had slept with his son, he had done awful things to her family. Despite all of this Charlie also knew a kind and gentle man, who had saved her and has been there for her when everyone else wasn't. In this man she could recognize the young Bass Monroe, the prior blackout Bass Monroe, from Miles' story. Sometimes Charlie suspected that he has always been this man but she felt like he was restrained himself from becoming the old him again.

tired of fighting his attraction toward Monroe, Charlie acknowledge to herself that she wanted to kiss him, it has been months since she hadn't got laid and it began to felt on her mood. Charlie decided to take a walk near the river. As she was walking she saw a shape in the water, her first reflex was to get her crossbow but then she realized that it was Monroe. He had water to his waist she could see his muscles, his little curly hair were wet. Charlie felt randy, one thought only came in her mind dipped in the river to join him.

"what are doing here Charlotte?" he had surprised her.

"I… I couldn't sleep" she had come closer, and sat on a rock.

"why is that?"

"I had too much to think about…I needed to take a walk... Anyway what about you? What's with the midnight swim, are you waiting someone?" she felt anxious, somehow she was afraid of the answer.

"couldn't sleep either. And No Charlotte I'm not expecting anyone but I wouldn't mind a bit of company." He grinned at her.

Charlotte was totally overwhelmed she knew it was now or never if she wanted to make a move, paralyzed by her feelings her brain has just stop working. she didn't know what to do. So she listened her heart which told her to got undress and join Monroe in the water. Her body executed her wish, it seemed like she hasn't complete control of her body, and somehow it felt like a relief. Monroe watched her get undress, taking off clothes after clothes . Until she was totally naked in front of him, still on ground, he hold his breath. Submerged by her beauty -her curves- he wanted to touch her, but he restrained himself. Charlie walked into the river to get next to Bass, separated by a few centimeter. Charlie's heart was racing as it never did, fully lost in his blue eyes, she put her right hand on one of his cheek. Monroe didn't move afraid she would go away, fear that she would leave him forever. His heart pumping his blood as he had just made a sprint.

Monroe couldn't bear it anymore, he broke the space between their lips and suddenly he felt like the 4th July inside his stomach. He had waiting this for so long, Charlie felt like she could breathe again, she responded to his kiss. Their tongues met to dance and both were exploring the other's body. Bass had put his right hand on Charlie's back and the other in her long silky hair. Charlie had put both of her hand in his curly hair, she had dreamed to do this since months.

Both were moaning and whispering the other's name under the spell of the kiss.

"I want you so much Charlotte"

"so do I… oh Bass"

Charlie had put her legs around his waist and Monroe had walked toward the ground. He laid down Charlie on his clothes to form a protection against the hardness of the ground. Put on the top of her, his mouth was kissing her mouth, her neck, her breast. He took her breast in his hand and played with her nipple tearing out a whimper from Charlie. He started to get a little further kissing her belly and then her wet intimate part, as he was licking her, Charlie felt her body shaken from everywhere.

"Bass… I want you inside me now" and he obeyed.

Bass starting with a gentle move to let her body adjust to him, and then he began to move slowly.

"faster" again he obeyed without complain.

As their bodies were moving fast, Charlie had sat and put Monroe's legs around her waist, she wanted him deeper and closer to her. Monroe could feel her orgasm coming close, his wasn't far either.

As Charlotte's orgasm came she put her head in Bass' neck to smother her scream. She had scream his name. In the act she had clawed his back, she knew he would have marks and she didn't care. Bass was hers. As if they were connected Bass told her in urge: "you belong to me Charlotte , no one else, you're mine!" He came inside her. Both felt in heaven, they have waited this for months , Bass kissed her.

"I wanted you since months, god Charlotte you're so beautiful."

"I also wanted this."

They both have a smile on their lips, cuddling in the other's arms. Every move felt natural, like it was meant to happen . Both were tired but they didn't want to go back in camp, they would have to separate, and they weren't ready about this. However Charlie's mind came back to its normal and she realize she had to go before anyone see them. She looked at Bass, his eyes were locked in hers, his hands were on her hip. She sat up and started to get dress. Bass was freaking out.

"what are you doing?"

"I need to go before anyone sees us" Charlie looked at Bass and she could see pain in his eyes.

"oh…right…"

As she heard his low voices, Charlie felt bad. She knew she wanted to be with him but she didn't how. Monroe couldn't figure out if what just happened was a one night stand or if she wanted to go on with whatever the hell was going on between the two of them. Monroe had known that after this everything would be different but he didn't know how he could possibly be with her, Miles would never allow him to date her.

"goodnight Bass" as she was leaving, she bend over him to kiss his beautiful lips. Her touch on him, started a fire inside his body, he intensified the kiss putting his right hand on the back of her neck. Both moaned to the kiss, they wanted to protract the kiss, Monroe's body showed perfectly that he was up for round two.

Charlie stopped the kiss ruefully, putting her forehead against his, she left to head back to her roll bed. Monroe felt alone, lay down on his blanket still naked. His mind replayed the whole scene, automatically his body reacted. She had left him with a smile and a hard cock.

Bass couldn't believe he actually slept with Charlotte, it was fabulous, he wanted more. Bass wanted her. Monroe understood at this point that he hasn't only an attraction to Charlotte, he had irrevocably fallen in love with Charlotte Matheason. Bass wanted to be with her, but the question was: did she want it too? Perhaps it's was just a onetime thing for her, like he has been with his son. Damn it! This woman was driving him crazy!
