Chapter 23: Bad Company
"Baby, when I think about you, I think about love. Darlin', couldn't live without you, and your love."
"Why couldn't we stay at the room. It's so hot out here." Darjeeling was complaining, feeling the heat beat down on her as the car rocked along.
"Because I've got another job this weekend."
Darjeeling looked over at the blonde, somewhat confused and mad. "What kind of job?"
"The kind that requires that..." Kay pointed to the backseat. "...behind you."
Darjeeling looked back to see what she was pointing at, only to see the rifle she was given as a present. "You're a gun range demonstrator?"
"Sometimes. Usually Naomi does this kind of thing, but I thought I might as well come help this time now that you have something to shoot of your own."
"So you really weren't lying about taking me to use it?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"If it was a surprise maybe?" Darjeeling saw a sign designating where they were as Kay came up with a response.
"Maybe. Maybe I lied to you the entire time and this is all just a figment of your imagination."
Darjeeling immediately grabbed Kay's arm, and held it tightly. "Don't say those things!"
"Hahaha, I knew you'd react to that one. Of course I've been truthful, or else I would have gotten bored months ago."
Kay stopped the car, and Darjeeling reopened her eyes but didn't let go of Kay's arm. It was a gun range alright. A large group of what appeared to be freshmen were standing in front of Naomi.
Darjeeling released her grip on Kay's arm and stepped out of the car, watching the group of students. "Oh look who finally showed up!" Naomi yelled, followed by Kay just waving her off as she pulled the rifle out of the back.
Kay and Darjeeling made the short trek over to the front of the group and stood next to Naomi. "You already did the paperwork for this thing, right?"
"Yeah, I got the paperwork done before I gave it to you two."
Darjeeling just walked over to the large white trailer in the dirt lot, and sat down next to Pekoe. "Does she always teach this class?"
"Yes, although it's nice to see her in an element that she's comfortable with."
Darjeeling looked back at the group of students, who were now fixated on the new arrival of teaching staff. "You mind explaining this one, Kay?"
"Yeah, I can take it from here."
Kay turned around as Naomi moved off to the side. Kay leaned the rifle against the table, before focusing on the weapons at hand. A pistol, somewhat heavy for a freshman, but perfect for her age group. Firing a classic caliber and still being made over a 100 years later. The gun was a sub machine gun, a more basic version of an American classic. While also heavy and with a low RPM, it still fired a hard hitting round.
The third gun was an old, beaten bolt-action rifle, used for longer than people think it was. Firing one of the most well-known calibers in the American army, it's had plenty of time to make itself useful. The fourth firearm was another one used for longer than people thought it was. It was a light machine gun, firing the same classic caliber as the rifle, it tended to pack quite a punch.
The final one was the possibly the most widely used one after the pistol. It was a bit larger than the last one but fired the same round as the last two. Kay picked up the pistol and made sure the safety was on before turning back around to the students. She held it up with both hands, one holding up the barrel, the other holding the back end as she showed the side of the handgun.
Kay had managed to teach the group each weapon before handing it off to Naomi for the actual target practice. "I never did tell you exactly why I'm here," Kay said as she sat down next to Darjeeling, putting her arm around the lady's back.
"To teach these students, right?"
"Well to be honest, we have a little sharpshooting competition with the other two American based schools. So we ended up making it an actual course for this school."
"Really?" Darjeeling looked across the lot, watching Naomi show the students how well she could handle a rifle. "So why don't you participate in these competitions?"
"I'm not good enough, and this is more of a hobby to me anyway." Kay looked over to her side, the old Enfield rifle just sitting there. "Want me to teach you how to fire the one you got?"
"That's too dangerous for a woman like me," Darjeeling responded nervously.
"Oh really. Then I guess you'll just have to sleep on the couch tonight."
"No! I changed my mind... just make sure I don't hurt myself."
Kay helped Darjeeling up while also picking up the rifle. She led her over to an open spot, and sat down. "Here. Put these on." Kay pulled off a pair of headphones and safety glasses from the wall. "These..." Kay held up the headphones. "...will let you hear me while also deafening the gunshot."
Darjeeling put both of them on as Kay started situating the gun in between a pair of sandbags.
Once Kay was happy with the rifles position, she put on her own pair of safety glasses and headphones.
"Here." Kay put her hands on Darjeeling's arms, slowly guiding her into the position that she should be in. Right hand near the trigger and left on top of the buttstock. Kay quickly rifled the bolt, and turned the safety off. "She's all yours."
Darjeeling peered down the wonky sight of the rifle, focusing on the center of the paper target only 100 yards away. She breathed in deeply, making sure she was prepared. She moved her finger down until it was on the trigger, and pulled. The gun violently kicked back as the paper target flapped from the shot.
"Ow!" Darjeeling yelped, almost falling backwards off the chair.
"What's wrong? Did it hurt?"
Darjeeling got up and almost tackled Kay in a hug, her entire body trembling in fear. "It was scarier than I thought it was going to be." Darjeeling closed her eyes, using Kay to help herself calm down. Kay put her hand through Darjeeling's hair, feeling the girl slowly stop shaking.
"Everything is going to be fine. I'm right here for you."
"Thank you..."
"Don't worry about it. I'm not going to force you to do these things." Darjeeling just stood there, soaking up Kay's embrace. It was warm and familiar, yet never got too old to enjoy.
"Want to just leave at this point? Naomi should be able to handle the rest of today's activities here, and I don't want to make you any more afraid."
"Yeah, can we do that please," Darjeeling murmured.
Kay took off her safety gear, followed by removing Darjeeling's gear as she kept up her embrace. Darjeeling slowly ran her cheek against the warm fabric of Kay's shirt, putting her almost into a trance. "You know you have to let go of me if you want to leave, right?"
"I'm not going to let go until we're in the car, and then I'll just sit curled up in your lap as you drive, holding on tightly. Won't that be fun?"
"Sounds dangerous to me."
"I just want to be safe. You're the only one that makes me feel safe, no matter what."
"How sweet." Kay gave Darjeeling a light pat on the head as she picked up the rifle and put it on her shoulder. "Come along now. I'll take you back now."
Kay led the girl over, still feeling that empathetic warmth flowing from Darjeeling to herself. Kay opened the door for her as she placed the gun back in its casing. Once Kay had gotten situated in the driver's seat, she felt a tug on her shoulder and looked over. She was met not with a scene of a trembling Darjeeling, but a passionate tongue kiss, feeling the movements of the one she held dearest.
Darjeeling could feel Kay melt as she continued, trying to get any lasting sensation. The embrace broke as the two looked at each other's eyes. Darjeeling's was a pale blue, shimmering in the orange light of the sun. Kay's were a darker shade, a cool pool of water, perfect to get lost in.
"So were you just faking being scared so you could come do this?" The silence was broken by Kay's voice.
"No, I just thought we could have a special moment together, that's all."
"Oh really," Kay teased, running her thumb across Darjeeling's soft face. "Want to continue this somewhere more private?"
Darjeeling snickered before nodding back. "I'd love to continue this."
Darjeeling could feel the coolness of the wall behind her as Kay held her arms against the wall, giving her as much as she could with her lips. Darjeeling turned her head, an embarrassed look on her face as Kay continued her kissing along Darjeeling's neck. The fear of being caught in the hallway just enhanced her lust even more, slowly getting more and more turned on as she heard noises echoing down the corridor.
"Kay, that's enough..." Darjeeling was cut off by one of her own moans, loving Kay's every peck and lick.
Kay felt a warm sensation against her leg as she slipped it in between Darjeeling's, trying to support her lover as she continued her movements. Darjeeling was always the perfect mixture for when Kay did these types of things. Her sweet strawberry scent, her soft skin, the way she reacted to all Kay did. It was perfect to her.
"I think that should be enough for now." Kay stepped back, admiring her handiwork. Darjeeling's neck was covered in soft red spots, all vaguely resembling a pair of lips. Darjeeling looked around herself, her shirt slightly ruffled, but didn't reveal the larger marks from last night's fun session.
"You're way too good at this sometimes."
Kay put her hand to the back of her head. "I try my best just for you, you know?"
"I love that I know." Darjeeling leaned forward and gave Kay a light kiss. "Would you?" Darjeeling stuck out a hand, tempting an embrace. Kay accepted it as Darjeeling led them down the hallway. For most of the hallway it was nice, walking hand in hand, but Kay stopped suddenly outside the door to the series garage.
The window was a bit foggy, but it was clear enough to see what was going on inside. A dark blue car was slightly rocking back and forth, a few tufts of hair could be spotted through the car's side window.
"Is that who I think it is?" Darjeeling snickers, pointing at a small tuft of red hair that could be seen from their angle.
"It's so hot..." Kay's jaw dropped, the scene unfolding in front of her getting her more and more aroused.
"Want to go do that back at the room?" Darjeeling giggles before dragging Kay down the rest of the hallway. All Kay could think of was Darjeeling's lustful face, showing all the possible pleasure running through her mind.
