Chapter 8: Weeks Later, First Times, and Confrontations

AUTHORS NOTE: I want to thank Ohiogurl101 for this idea. I hope that I did it justice.

Three weeks after Emma and Clay found the microphone in his bedroom, it seemed that Stella had dropped off the face of the planet. She had not contacted either of them, they had not seen her anywhere they went, and she had not been following them. Clay and Emma had gone on multiple dates since then, Bravo had been spun up once in this time, and they had practically made it a Wednesday night tradition to have dinner at the Hayes' house then go dancing with the team at the Bulkhead.

Clay and Emma had been exploring their relationship, both sexual and otherwise, in the last three weeks. They had never gone all the way, but Emma was ready for them to have sex. She knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Clay and she was almost certain that Clay felt the same way. She knew that whatever life had in store for them, they could handle it together. She was falling more and more in love with Clay everyday. She hoped that Clay had felt the same way because she did not want to rush their relationship.

Little did she know, Clay felt the exact same way she did. He was so happy in his relationship with her. Happier than he had ever been in any relationship before. He wanted Emma with him for the rest of his life, however long that was. He also wanted to make love to her, for real, not just putting on a show. But, he was worried that she did not feel ready yet, although he hoped she felt the same way about him.

Clay and Emma were on their way to Jason's house for dinner. They had spent the day together because Emma didn't have school and since Bravo had just gotten back from a spin up, they didn't have to report into base. They pulled into the driveway to see Ray's Jeep and Sonny's truck. They walked into the house and into the kitchen to see Jason, Ray, Sonny, Trent and Brock sitting at the table laughing about one of Sonny's famous stories. Everyone sat down and Jason brought the food to the table.

After dinner, they all moved towards the exit and out to the vehicles. Sonny, Jason, and Clay all drove. Emma with Clay, Trent and Brock with Sonny, and Ray with Jason. As they pulled up to the Bulkhead, they went to their usual table. The bar was crowded so Clay went to the bar to get everyone drinks. Blackburn, Mandy and Lisa had met them at the bar and were talking to the rest of the team. As he was waiting for the beers, someone came up behind him and wrapped their arms around his waist. For a moment, he thought it was Emma until he heard the woman's voice.

"I know you miss me." Stella said as she ran her hands up and down his abdomen.

"Stella, let go." Clay said, trying to keep his cool.

"Just admit it. You're tired of the little high school girl and you want a real woman again."

"I am going to tell you this one more time. I do not want you. I love Emma. She isn't a fling. Let go." Clay said to her as he removed her arms from around his waist and turned around the look at her.

"Oh come on, baby." Stella said as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Before he could react, he heard Emma.

"I believe… my boyfriend told you to let him go." Emma said, in the same tone Jason gets when he is angry, quiet and deadly. Clay looked at her and saw that all of Bravo had walked over with her.

Stella let him go and turned to look at her. "I've had about enough of you."

Emma raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms, "No, no, I've had enough of you. It's one thing to be upset about a breakup. It's another to stalk your ex and his girlfriend, threaten said girlfriend over text messages, and listen into private conversations and moments with planted microphones."

"He loves me. You're just an easy lay for him." By this point, everyone had turned to the scene. Most of the people in the bar were DEVGRU so they know Emma Hayes and one thing they know is she isn't easy for anything.

"Actually… he loves me. And if either of us is easy, it's you." At this point, Stella took a step in Emma's direction and Emma met her in the middle. They were standing face to face.

"Listen to me you little bitch…"

"YOU listen to me! Stay away from Clay and stay away from me! I will not be responsible for what happens next time you try to ruin my relationship." Emma said before stepping back. Stella stood there for a moment before reaching for Emma's hair. In a split second, Emma had Stella on the ground in an arm-bar. Bravo and the rest of the bar were standing there watching. Before anyone, including Jason and Clay, could step in, Emma had everything under control. "I'm going to let go of you, Stella. Do not ever contact us again, understand?" Stella shook her head yes, she had tears in her eyes. Emma released her arm, did a shoulder roll and got up from the ground. Stella got up from her position on the floor, grabbed her purse and walked out of the bar. Emma looked at everyone around the bar, who were standing there in amazement and then looked at Clay, "I told you I could take care of myself." She walked over to him and kissed him lightly. Everyone in the bar clapped, knowing that she was telling the truth.

"You know, that was very sexy." Clay replied in her ear.

"You liked that?" Emma asked, smiling.

"Yes, very primal."

"Let's go home. I want you to make love to me. For real this time." Emma said, looking into his eyes.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. I'm ready." They kissed lightly, said goodnight to everyone and walked out the bar to Clay's truck. On the way to Clay's apartment, Emma couldn't keep her hands off him. She started by placing her hand in his knee cap, before running it up and down his thigh. As she moved closer to his length, Clay interrupted her.

"Em, if you don't stop I'm going to crash." Clay's voice was strained.

"Sorry." Emma said, blushing before pulling her hands away and looking out the window. Clay looked at her, she must have thought that he didn't want her to touch him. He reached over to her and took her hand in his. She turned to look at him. He brought her hand to his mouth and kissed it.

"I love you, Emma Hayes."

"I love you too, Clay Spenser." They held hands the entire way back to his apartment. As he pulled up in his parking spot and turned off the engine, he turned to her. They shared a smile and got out of the truck. They walked into the apartment building, into the elevator, and into his apartment. As the apartment door closed, Clay reached for her.

He pulled her to him lightly and kissed her. They stood there momentarily before Emma broke the kiss and moved them towards the bedroom. They walked over to the bed and stood, staring at each other. Emma put her hands on Clay's chest before running them down his abs and under his shirt. She pushed the shirt up slowly, before Clay helped her take it off. Emma kissed his chin, neck, throat, shoulders, chest, and stomach. Clay placed his hands on her waist, as she made the trail down his body. Once she made it to his abs, Clay pulled her to him and kissed her on the lips. He pulled her green cut-off sweater off her body, leaving her in a beautiful lacy black bra that showed off her perky breasts. He ran his hands down her body. He began kissing her neck then moved to her chest. Emma moved her hands to his belt buckle, where she pulled it out of his pants loops. Their lips met and each other began unbuttoning and unzipped their pants. Each of them pushed the others pants down, leaving both in just boxers and bra/panties. Emma broke apart from him and sat down on the bed. She looked up at him before she reached behind her and unsnapped her bra. She let it fall from her chest and leaned back, opening her legs for him to lay down. Clay slipped off his shoes and socks before sliding in between her legs. He took one breast in his mouth while he played with the other nipple. Then he switched and did the same. He moved from her breasts down to her stomach. He kissed a trail to her panties before looking up and her for permission to take them off. She nodded and laid her head back on the bed. He pulled her panties down her legs and threw them over his shoulders before claiming her with his mouth. After 10 minutes, she orgasmed and he moved back up her body. She pushed his boxers off and his hardened length came into contact with her wet core. Both of them moaned and kissed lightly. Clay moved to grab a condom from his bedside table and rolled it on before positioning himself back over Emma. He settled and ran his length over her folds before lightly pushing inside her. Emma's eyes closed as she felt him stretch her, his penis was bigger than his fingers.

"Are you okay?" Clay whispered as he pulled out of her and pushed in deeper. Emma bit her lips and panted out, "yes, Clay please."

With that Clay pushed all the way inside her. He felt her hymen rip and Emma let out a slight noise of pain. Clay paused and looked into her face. She opened her eyes and smiled before leaning to kiss him. Clay let her get used to him before he began thrusting in and out. Emma wrapped her legs around his waist as Clay searched for Emma's hands. They held each other's hands while they moved together. They kissed lightly over and over again.

"Clay…"

"What is it, Emma? Are you okay? Are you hurting?" Clay said as he stopped thrusting.

"No, no. Clay, harder. I'm close." Clay began thrusting again, this time at a more rapid pace. Emma clung to his shoulders as he switched positions. He sat down and pulled her onto his lap. "Oh my god!" Emma groaned loudly because he hit her deeper. They kissed more passionately as Emma and Clay moved together. Both of them reached their peaks at the same time, calling each other's names.

Moments later, Clay laid Emma back down flat on the bed. He pulled out of her making both of them groan. Clay moved to the bathroom to clean up while Emma settled into bed. A few minutes later, Clay came back with a wet rag to clean Emma up. As he was taking the condom off, he had noticed that there was blood. For a moment he panicked, but then he remembered that some virgins bleed the first time they have sex. He moved over to the bed and kissed Emma on the head. She opened her eyes and looked up at him. He spread her legs gently before wiping away the blood that was left on her thighs and opening. He took the rag back into the bathroom then returned to the bedroom. They settled in for the night.

3:00 AM

Clay's phone started ringing and he groaned, he was getting spun up. He answered the phone, got up and started getting dressed. He woke Emma up to tell her that he was leaving. She kissed him goodbye and told him to come back safe.

Five hours later, Emma got up from the bed and put her clothes from the night before back on. She was making coffee when she heard something from behind her. Before she could turn around and see what it was, someone had their hand wrapped around her waist and a rag with chloroform on her nose and mouth. After a few seconds, she blacked out.
