Melani took a deep breath before looking at Bradin "Nothing, he did nothing to me, I'm just kinda out of it. Don't worry about me"
"Mel, you jumped 3 feet when I touched you, that's not being out of it" Bradin said, eyeing her. He was about to say something when I knock came at the door
"Mel honey, are you in there" her mother asked
Mel composed herself "Yeah, I'm in here mom" she said.
Her mother opened the door and smiled "Oh honey, I didn't know you had company" she replied, smiling sweetly
"Yeah, he just walked me home. Mom, do you remember Karen and Bob Westerly?"
"Oh yes, lovely people. They were in a terrible accident I heard… Wait, Mel honey, is this Bradin?" she said
Melani smiled "Looks a little different than he used to, doesn't he?" she said laughing
Bradin got up and held out his hand to shake hers, but she pulled him in a tight hug "Oh Bradin, I'm so sorry for your loss. How are you doing?"
"Ok" he said "It was hard, but Mel's helped me a lot. She's really been a life-saver" he added, causing her to smile
Melani's mom smiled "It's good that you two have become such good friends. I always knew you could be nice, it's good you finally learned how to" They both laughed. Suddenly her expression changed "Melani, what happened to your shirt, it has a huge rip in it! What happened!"
Mel laughed "I was walking by the cove and it got caught on one of the rocks. It's nothing big, You know how klutzy I am mom"
Her mother smiled again "Don't I. I'm going to run out for a little while, do you think you two can be good?" she said winking
"I think so Mrs. Lawrence" Bradin said
"Ok, it was great seeing you again Bradin, you'll have to come over for dinner some night when I have time to cook. And call me Laura! Have fun you two" she said as she left the room
"Bye Mrs. Lawrence" Bradin said as she closed the door "Nothing happened right? Then try to explain the huge rip in your shirt, because I sure as hell don't believe it go ripped on a rock at the cave. Melani what did he do to you?" he said, getting angry
"Damn Bradin, drop it! Nothing happened!" she said, getting angry herself, "I said nothing happened, you should believe me! What the hell do you want from me?"
"I want you to tell me the truth Mel!" he replied "Why are you so defensive! God, all I want is you to be safe, I'm not the bad guy here!"
"I know that Bradin, but nothing happened! Why don't you get that! Wouldn't I tell you if something did?"
"No, you'd keep it inside" he said sternly, "Damn Mel! Why can't you just…." He started but was interrupted by her phone going off.
She pulled it out of her pocket and read the text message. She rolled her eyes "I gotta go" she said, shutting it.
"Wait, I thought this was a one-shot deal. If he's got you running every time he wants something, I'd rather get beat up by James. He's not going to use you"
"First off, who said it was him?" he eyed her "Fine, it was him, but it's no big"
"I don't want you to go Mel. I'm telling you not to" he said sternly
"Good thing I don't listen to guys… I have to go Brae, you don't understand" she said quietly
"I want to, tell me!" he said, "Please Angel"
"I can't, I'm sorry" she said as she ran out the door
Melani sat in the sand outside her house later. Part of her wanted to tell Bradin everything, part of her wanted to get the hell out of Playa Linda, and part of her just wanted to go see Tanner and get it over with. She got up and walked toward his house and hesitated by the back door, what have I gotten myself into? She thought as she sat in one of the chairs
"You're early" she heard from the balcony above her "Not that I'm complaining. Come on in, Lucas is out"
Melani sighed as she opened the back door. She had been to their house a million times, but now it seemed so different, so scary. Tanner met her in the living room. "Nice to know you're loyal to our agreement. You passed the test" he said smiling
"So you don't want anything, you just wanted to make sure I'd come?" she said "You really thought I wouldn't?"
"No, I want something from you, and no I didn't think you wouldn't show" he smirked "Lets play a game" he said
She rolled her eyes "What kind of game?" she said, sitting on the foot rest of the chair
"It's not hard, you have to try to guess what I want you to do" he said, smile widening
"I know you, its either sex or oral" she said bluntly
He laughed "Yes, you do know me don't you? Well, which one is it? If you get it right I'll give you something"
She rolled her eyes "Well it's you, so probably full out sex" she said smartly
He laughed again "Explain to me how you're smart. I already had sex with you today, I don't want to go through that again; it was quite a workout the first time. So, you're wrong. I want oral"
"I already did that to you too. You're kind of a hypocrite" she said
"Don't be a bitch" he said "So I'm a hypocrite, big deal. I still want it" he smirked
"Your wish is my command" she said, a hint of shame in her voice "But can we do it somewhere else, I don't want Luke to walk in on us"
He nodded "I like the my wish, your command thing." He smiled and grabbed her hand "we can go to my room" he said as he led her upstairs and closed the door
"Sit on the edge of the bed" she instructed, trying to sound like she was ok with this, while in her head she wanted to puke
"Yes mam" he replied and sat down.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before kneeling in front of him. She pushed his legs so they were open and began to undo his belt "Anything specific you want me to do before I do this?" she said, dreading the answer
"Hmmm" he replied, obviously thinking hard "No, I'll let you off with just giving me a blowjob"
Thank God she thought. She pulled off his pants, but hesitated when she got to his boxers. Just do it, he'll freak if you don't she thought. She played with the waistband, trying to make it look like he was teasing him, not hesitating. Finally she just pulled them off and did it.
When he was satisfied, he told her so "You're amazing at that, you know that right?" He said as he lifted her chin up so she was looking at him
"I do it to James all the time, it comes with practice I guess" she said, picking his boxers up off the floor next to her and helped him by sliding them on.
"And farm boy too?" he said, looking at her smartly
"Actually, he doesn't like me doing it, he thinks it makes me feel inferior, so he does it to me, I don't do it to him" she said, eyes cast down "Not that it matters to you. Are you satisfied, or is there more I can do for you?"
He laughed "Aren't you the go-getter"
She shrugged "I've excepted that this is happening and its pointless for me to fight it. I might as well just let it happen"
"Well it's good that you came to that revelation. No, I'm satisfied, you can go. Remember, keep your phone handy"
"I'll have it on me 24/7" she said, forcing a smile "I'll see you later" she said as she got up and walked outside "God, this is going to be one long vacation" she said as she walked home
