Lightning showered and got dressed. Normal, casual wear. This dinner was nothing special or anything. Just dinner with his girlfriend. He began to head to the trailer, but.. He still hated himself for treating Josie the way he did. He had to apologize.. If she were still around at all. Lightning headed to the Dinico tent. That was the only other place he thought of that she might be. He walked over and to the tent where Cal was talking to Tex at the moment. Lightning walked over asking Tex, "Excuse me.. Hey, is Jos-Josephine here?" Cl and Tex looked at Lightning. tex answering "She sure is. She ran over pretty upset though. She just needs a little TLC." He winked. Lightning wasn't sure what Tex meant by that but ignoring that and asked "okaaay... Where is she? I need to see her." Cal answered saying "Tex's Rv." Tex then added "I told her she could use it to relax." Lightning nodded and thanked them and headed towards the Rvs. He walked by a few before finding the biggest one. Completely white, gold spurs on the bumper and a fake bull tail on the rear of the roof. At least he hoped that was fake. Never know with tex. It had bull horns on the front area of the roof too. So Tex. Lightning knocked on the door announcing "Josie... Josie, it's Lightning!" He heard scuffling then the door opened. There was Josie in a cow print patterned robe. Her hair up in a messy bun, barefoot. "Come in.." She said. Lightning shook his head and was quick to get to the point. "No, I have plans.. Look, I wanted to say that I'm sorry for how I treated you back there near my trailer.. I was a jerk and you did not deserve that. I hated that I did that to you." "So.. You leave her?" Asked Josie. Lightning shook his head. Josie frowned. "Oh.. I see.." She mumbled.

Lightning sighed and grabbed her hands and explained "I really did miss you. You were amazing. And.. If I weren't so afraid back then of.. Taking the risk of another long distance thing, we might have had a real chance, but I wasn't ready for that. I'm sorry." "So you were mean back there because of her? You were just trying to be who she wants you to be?" Josie asked. Lightning shook his head answering "No, I.. I did mean some of that... Look, I.. I don't think we can be friends.. Not because of her or me, but because it just.. It hurts us all too much." "You mean it makes your girlfriend jealous." Josie growled. Lightning snickered and nodded admitting "Sally does seem to get jealous easily, but.. No, it's not that. She and I have been having a rough time with some things and seeing you does get in the way of that." "Why?" "It just does." "Does she?.. Is she enough for you? Because I know how you are.. What you like.." She pulled her hand from his and brushed his face. "Sometimes you have to.. Hurt someone to find the one you're meant to be with Lightning. I mean.. Strip even cheated on his wife with Linda. Look at them now!" She exclaimed. Lightning nodded then said something that hurt, but Josie understood. He said "I think Sally is the one I'm meant to be with.." Which would mean that Josie is the one getting hurt right now. Josie sighed with a frown. "Fine.." She replied a little sharply. "I thought you and I wanted the same things Lightning." "And what's that?" He asked curiously. Josie turned around in the Rv answering "To become famous and become wildly in love. I thought we would have fun. The things you like and I like.. The way we got along so well. We were best friends! We were one of the strongest relationships I had." "Me too." Lightning agreed. And she was. Mollie was in serious relationship, but she cheated. Josie was a serious relationship, Lightning just didn't know it yet and so he left when she had to leave for work. Sally.. Sally was a serious relationship. Difference was that Lightning had finally grown up. He knew what he wanted in the end was to come home to Sally. "I'm sorry.." Lightning repeated. Josie turned back around and nodded saying "It's alright.. I do forgive you.. Just.. Don't let her change who you are.. That's not a relationship.. That's her manipulating you and it's not okay. If she wants you to change, than she's not good for you." Lightning sighed and replied with "Goodbye Josie.. Please.. Don't come back.." He pleaded. Josie nodded and shut the door. Lightning hated himself still, but at least things didn't end with that outburst...

Lightning held the door open for Sally as they walked into the restaurant. The place had red carpet, brass accents, booths for seating in the front then a more private area with actual tables and chairs. Some for two guests, some more. The woman at the door greeted them with a friendly smile. "Good evening! How many? Just the two of you?" She asked. Lightning nodded answering "Yeah, just the two of us." He wrapped an arm around Sally's hip and pulled her closer to him. Sally looked up at him. She began to question his every affection. Like this one. Was he being sweet and affectionate? Or was this that controlling thing and he was more or less pulling her to him as if claiming her as his. This was silly. Sally shook it off. This was Lightning. The man she loved, the man that loved her and wanted her, who chose her over that model even! "I made reservations." Lightning announced. The woman smiled asking "Oh okay. Name?" "McQueen." The woman types in the name into her tablet then "Awe, right here. Right this way please." She then guided the couple near to the back of the place to a small round table with two chairs. Lightning pulled out Sally's chair for her and she sat down. Lightning scooted her in then sat down across from her. "Can I get the two of you some drinks?" Sally answered first with "Water, no lemon please." Then Lightning with "I'll just have a sweet tea." "Great! I'll be right back." The woman said with a smile before walking away. Sally raised a brow asking "Tea? Figured you'd be having a beer by now after a race like that." Lightning shook his head answering "nah, I'm good." Sally played with her fingers in her lap. She may try talking to Mollie or Minty or something, but why not ask Lightning himself. They did agree to be honest with each other and maybe he would open up about it. "Hey Stickers.." She began and grabbed his focus. "Um.. I want to ask you something sort of weird." "Okay." Lightning replied. Sally took a deep breath then went ahead with it. "Why do you like the things you.. Promised not to do anymore anyway?" Having to word it carefully, sense they were in public. Lightning raised a brow and had to think a moment before he got what she meant.

"Oh. Um.. I.. I don't know. I just do." He answered. Sally glared. That was not a real answer. Not what she was looking for anyway so she poked a little more. "No, I mean.. What.. What got you started into it? I mean.. Everyone has their first and.. Well.. Is that how you treated your first?" She asked. Lightning's eyes widened. His first!? Who was his first. Crap. Sally's brows lowered as he was silent. She could tell he was thinking though. "What is it? You can;'t remember your first?" She sounded a bit angry at him for that. Lightning shrugged explaining "It's just.. Been such a long time. Why would that matter?" He asked. Sally crossed her arms and snarled "It just does. Why can't you answer me? Were you that way with your first?" She asked again. Lightning sighed. Thinking. His first... First.. He was like.. Fourteen.. He thinks.. Maybe. Just some random 'girlfriend' at the time. Was he rough with her? No-wait.. Yes? No. Yes, yes.. "My first time was..." He paused having to really think about it. "I think it was quick.. Kind of... Unexpected. Like it wasn't what it thought it would be." Sally then asked "So was it?.. Like.. Was your first the first person you were... Like that with?" Lightning sighed and avoided answering that and instead asked "Where is this coming from? I told you I'm done with all of that. I won't do anything like that to you ever again." Sally nodded replying "I, I know.. I'm.. Thankful for that, really. I just.. I wanted to know why you are the way you.. Were." She was trying to be careful and not hurt him though. In case it was a painful subject. "Were you... Maybe... Hurt? Or something? I know your Dad died, but.."-"Woah, hold on. You think I have a traumatic past and that's why I.. Got into that stuff?" He asked. A little confused. Sally just shrugged answering "I don't know. That's why I'm asking.." Then the woman came back with their drinks in glasses and placed straws onto the table. "Your waitress will be right with you." She said then left again.

Lightning sighed and answered his girlfriend's question. "Well... Uh, okay. Um.. Back in highschool I hooked up with this girl a few times. Just.. Messing around really." "A girlfriend?" "..Sure.. And After a few times, she asked if I'd pull her hair because that turned her on and you know what, I don't want to talk about this here." He said as he then drank his tea. Sally frowned a bit and looked around. They were pretty much alone though. "You can tell me.. I want to know, I need to know. Was it Mollie?" She asked. Lightning snickered as he set down the glass answering "No, no. I mean Mollie was rough, but not the first. Mollie was WAY too into it, even for me really." He chuckled. It was as if he were proud of that. Then a waitress approached asking "Are we ready to order or will we need a minute?" She asked. Neither Sally or Lightning had even looked at the menu, so Sally answered with "Um.. We're going to need a while, sorry." "No problem." The waitress exclaimed before dashing off. Sally stared at Lightning and said "Please continue. We're fine. No one is listening to us Lightning. We are pretty much alone in this section." Lightning sighed then nodded before continuing. "Okay, fine. So.. She asked me to pull her hair and I was like yeah, sure. I can do that. When we hooked up or whatever, I did as she asked, but she told me I was doing it wrong and to do it harder. I did, but it still wasn't good enough for her. I was actually a little afraid because I didn't want to hurt her. I.. I can remember some part of it pretty well, but..." He paused and had to think a moment. "Basically, I finally um... I guess I got.. Excited.. Enough.. And I did what she wanted, what she asked me to do to her and I remember feeling this.. Power and control, and it was an amazing feeling that I.. I wanted to have it again. We.. Hooked up a lot after that time and she always wanted it like that and I was always happy to. I think she was the one to ask about being tied up. We decided to... Stop messing around and finally uh, do it I guess." He blushed. "This is weird for you, isn't it?" Sally asked with a laugh. Lightning nodded admitting "Oh very. Never thought my girlfriend would ever ask about my first time having sex. It's really weird. Almost wrong." Sally giggled some and playfully said "Well go on.. Continue." Lightning snickered with red cheeks. "Uh.." "You finally got your dick wet and what?" Sally teased, making fun of him a little. Lightning shook his head.

Sally was so awful at times. "Yeah, okay.. So.. No actually. We still.. I mean we decided to take it further and.. No.. Now that I think about it, that's not when we first had sex." He had to stop and think a moment. "No, we.. I remember she asked about being restrained, so tied her to the bed's headboard and.. We just messed around like that. I remember that I.. We both introduced different things to each other. Just new ideas of what was rougher and fun for us." "Like what?" Sally asked. Lightning shook his head and growled. "No. No, I'm not getting into that kind of detail with you." He suddenly became firm. His voice was deeper and harsh. Sally nodded with a slight frown. She just wanted to know though. Lightning sighed and summed it up for her though with "Basically, we started messing around, she asked to try some things, I asked if we could try some things, we liked it, took it further with each time with some limitations we discussed until we.." "Had sex?" "Well, yes. Until she let me have full control over her. I just liked it." He explained. Sally looked away. The tears gathered into her eyes once more. Lightning noticed and asked "That wasn't what you were hoping for... Was it?" Sally shook her head and remained quiet. She was hoping there was some logical reasoning, but in the end, he just enjoyed it. He enjoyed being a monster. Sally wiped her eyes and admitted "I just can't believe that a woman would want that sort of treatment.." "Well.. It's not for everyone. Not every girl I've been with could take it. That's why only the women I've been in actual relationships with even know about that side of me. You've done pretty damn well actually." He complimented with a charming smile. Sally frowned muttering "But now I'm making you give up that part of you.. Are you really going to be okay with that?" She asked. Lightning nodded answering "Yes. For you, yes."

Sally sighed. Staring at her boyfriend. She hoped so. The waitress returned asking "Have the two of you decided what you'd like for dinner?" Lightning sighed and began to admit that "We actually still haven't looked over the menu, I'm sorry.. Maybe we'll just have"-"The check for the drinks. I think we might be going home actually." Sally said. Lightning stared at her. Was she that upset? Did he mess up that badly? He shouldn't have answered her questions. The waitress smiled saying "Don't worry about it. Drinks are on the house. Great race out there Mr. McQueen." She complimented then left. Perks of being known around the states. Sally stood up. Lightning followed asking "Are you really that mad at me? I only answered because you wanted to know.. I didn't mean to upset you.." He was really worried. The couple stopped outside the restaurant where Sally turned and faced him to explain "It wasn't that. You didn't really upset me anyway Lightning." "Than why did you want to leave? We just sat down pretty much." He asked with concern. Sally took a deep breath then stepped closely, her body pressing against his as she grabbed his face in her hands, she kissed him so lustfully. Which, for the timing, Lightning found odd. Their lips parted with a smack. Lightning staring down into Sally's eyes with much surprise. "What was that about?.." He asked. Sally then wrapped her arms around him and hugged him answering "Because I love you.." "You are confusing me." Lightning announced. Sally smiled and stared up at his face, into his eyes. "Why don't we skip this and go back to the motel tonight.. Try a few things." "I thought you wanted to take it slow?" "I do.. I did.. But I need you. I think.. I need to feel close to you again because after the last time.. I feel so distant and it's tearing me apart. It's tearing us apart..." She admitted. Lightning nodded. He understood. "Alright. Let's go." He said as he wrapped an arm around her and together walked out to grab a cab back to the motel. Lightning knew he would have to be more gentle than ever, more tender, soft, easy than ever before. And that was fine. He could use one of those sessions as well right now...

Alone at the motel, the couple stood in the bedroom. Sally walked over to the end of the bed and stood there. Unsure about pushing herself at all. Lightning shut the bedroom door behind him. The click made Sally jump some. Seeing that let Lightning know how careful he would need to be. He really scared her. He walked up behind her and in a deep growl asked "What do you want me to do. You have control here babe.." Sally swallowed nervously. This was a different side of him. Letting her give him the commands. "Tell me what you would do.. To be gentle.. Please." She softly asked. Lightning thought about that for a moment before answering her. "Well.. You're afraid I'll be rough.. Particularly my hands.. So.. I guess I'd touch you. Not sexually.. Just.. Rubbing your shoulder and neck to help you relax. I'd kiss your neck I guess.. Your shoulder. I'd hold your hand.. Once you were ready, I'd turn you around and kiss your lips. Softly.. I'll be gentle.. I'd keep holding your hand with one hand and run the fingers of my other in your hair while I kissed you. I'll go slow.. So until you were ready I probably wouldn't move on. Once you let me though, I'd... Uh.. I'd take off my shirt and place your hands on my chest. I'd rub my hands on your hips at this point. I guess... We'd continue to kiss until you would let me take.. Take off your shirt then I'd kiss your neck maybe. If you're okay with that." Sally nodded. Lightning snickered and smiled a little. He started to get into this. Telling her what he would do in almost poetry so he continued. "I'd kiss down your neck and between your breasts. I would rub my hands up your back.. I'd slowly pull one of the straps of the bra down your shoulder.. I'd like to think that you'd begin to feel some heat between us and that you'd take off the bra. If you did I'd grab one of your breasts carefully. I'd kiss down to it and lick it gently and slowly..." He then began brushing his hands on her arms near her elbows. Sally inhaled deeply then exhaled. His words made her wet. He was being extremely good with his words.

"I'd guide you to the bed where I'd lay you down, but don't worry. I wouldn't jump into anything without your permission.." He then kissed her shoulder gently. Rubbing his hands up her neck and beginning to do just as he said. Rubbing her shoulders and neck to help her ease her tension. "I'll go slow. Getting my body between your legs as I kiss you. I'd keep kissing your lips with a little more intensity.. I won't be rough though.. Just passionate. I'd push my pelvis against your's. Just to give you a preview of the pace I'll set.. It will be slow and gentle.. You will feel my member between the clothes.. But I won't take off my jeans or your's yet.. I'd kiss down your neck and to your breasts again.. I'd reach up to your hands and hold both of your hands while I grind on you.. Kissing your chest and eventually back up to your lips.. Does that sound good?" He asked. Sally nodded. Lightning smiled and paused, rubbing her muscles. "May I than?.." He asked softly into her ear. Sally hesitated, but then nodded. So Lightning rubbed her neck a little more. Just a few more seconds before kissing the back of her neck then her left shoulder softly and quietly. One hand went down and grabbed her hand just as he said it would. He kissed her other shoulder now. Making sure to be quiet and soft. Leaving angel kisses on her upper body behind her neck. Sally then turned around on her own. Inviting him to continue on. He held her hand still with one hand as he said he would. Then with his other, he placed it onto the side of her face and he leaned close and kissed her gently. A small, outer, gentle kiss. His hand moved upwards and he ran his finger into her hair. Caressing her softly as they kissed. The kiss went from a soft peck to an open hunger easily. Both of them kissing gently, but wildly as their tongues met. Lightning went a little off the map there and grabbed her face with both of his hands, but he was gentle and only rubbing his thumbs over her crimson cheeks. He pulled his lips from hers, but kept the tip of his nose touching the tip of hers then lowered his head to make their foreheads rest against each other. His breathing was more of a growlish at this point. It was kind of sexy, but Sally wondered if he was fighting urges already or not. He was, but it wasn't that difficult honestly. He looked up, into her eyes and removed his hands. Crossing them as he grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it off and over his head, he tossed it aside. He then took Sally's hands and placed them onto his chest. His chest was so firm and his skin was soft with what could be described as almost peach colored fuzz due to his blondeness and lack of body hair. He was never covered like some men and that was fine, if not preferred.

He placed his hands on her hips then leaned back in and they began making out again. Kissing carefully as they would take their time this time. They'd kiss, depart to take a breath or two, then again. Kiss, depart, breathe, kiss, depart, breathe. Sally's hands clenched slightly. Making her nails grab into his chest some. It got a groan out of him. He pulled his lips away and closed his eyes as he breathed for a moment. He wanted to twist her around a little roughly, push her face down into the bed and crawl over her.. Kissing her shoulders, her back, her tattoo.. But no.. No.. Easy.. Lightning opened his eyes and looked directly into Sally's teal eyes with a smile on his face. A gentle smile. Not the devious, sexual intent type he usually had. Then Sally took off her shirt and tossed it down to their feet. Lightning's eyes went down. Staring at her breasts for a second before going for her throat. A little rough there as he kissed her throat, her neck. Sally leaned her head back, giving him easier access. Lightning kissed her neck.. Her shoulder and moved down under her collar bone before kissing above each breasts. He kissed the bra over each tit. Teasing a little. He kissed between them then back to her collarbone and her neck. He rubbed his hands up her back, up the tattoo and up her shoulders until one reached a bra strap. Instead of just unhinging the bra, he just lowered the strap from her right shoulder as his lips met her lips again. He then lowered the other strap then pulling his face away, he kissed each shoulder where the bra straps were before. He kissed down the line of where the strap once was until he reached her bra again. Taking in her salty skin with an open mouth. Sucking her skin and kissing above her breasts. Sally reached around and unhooked the bra. It fell between them. Lightning placed his hands on her back and shoved her body closer as he instantly grabbed her breast into his mouth. Biting a little and suckling, making Sally moan. This was that roughness taking over slightly, but she didn't mind it so far. Lightning pushed or rather pulled her chest close as possible to his lips. Kissing and sucking her breasts. One than the other. Not exactly gently and slowly like he had said he would be. It made her moan quietly in a gasping like way.

Then he pulled away and they stared into each other's eyes. He had a hunger growing. In many places really. Sally glanced down to see his enlarged member bulging from his jeans then back up. Lightning was unsure if she'd let him continue because he felt it. he was fighting urges to just take this woman. Not because he wanted to hurt her because he didn't! That is not what turned him on right now most. No, what made this hard was the fact that he was treating this woman like a god-damn virgin! Her breathing, her soft moan, her fear.. Fuck she was acting like a virgin,a newb, fresh meat and it made him want those reactions more. The reactions where a woman realized that she has been overtaken by him. When a woman showed a liking to his not exactly always consensual affections. Like nipple clamps, spanking, biting, a little more pressure than she'd expect.. Fuck he would have loved to slap her across the ass right now...

Lightning walked forward, forcing Sally backwards until she fell down on the bed. Lightning crawled over her, making her lay on her back. He never left eye contact with her as he crawled up between her legs. He lay over her, knelt over her, face to face they gazed at each other. Sally swallowed nervously which really only made it worse for Lightning. She was acting so.. Innocent.. So afraid and so small.. It made him want to lose it! But he retained his urges and did as he said he would. He leaned in and kissed her lips. Kissing her with a little more intensity and passion. A lot more passion here. Sally moaned into his mouth. Fuck she was hot. Teasing him almost. He reached up and placed his hands in hers as they made out. He began to grind into her pelvis. He was right, she could feel his hard, pulsing member through their pants. Lightning kissed harder. Sucking her tongue and breathing extremely heavily. He slowly let go of her hands, pulled his lips from hers and moved down. Kissing her neck and her collar bone, then her chest, above her breasts. He kissed each tit, rolling his tongue gently around the dark circle of them. He kissed them, sucking up her almost entire breast as possible into her mouth which made her moan. He was about to snap. Not sexually, but at her! How dare she act like this! How dare Sally tease every fiber within him! Acting like a virgin with him! Forcing him to be slow and gentle and making him mad with lust! He stopped at raised up. Looking down into her glossy eyes and pink like tinted face. Staring a moment before asking "Tell me what to do.." "Kiss me.." So he leaned down and kissed her. Problem was, he was rough with it. Kissing her like a wild animal with one driven instinct. This alarmed Sally. She pushed his chest up, forcing the kiss to end and asked "Are you okay? Can you do this? I don't get it.. You can be soft sometimes. You are soft a lot of times after we have sex.." "Yes, after I've been rough it's easy!" He snapped! Fuck. Why did he yell at her? Sally's eyes teared up. Sally could see his frustration and it hurt her. She caused him frustration. "I'm sorry..." She mumbled then looked away and said "Just do what you want to me.." Closing her eyes tightly as if preparing for the pain. Lightning couldn't do that though so he said. "Tell me what to do.. If you tell me what to do and don't let me do anything different, it will be fine. I just have to get use to it, It's fine. I want to show you I can do this..It's not that I can't, I can, but right now you are acting so.. Fragile..." Sally looked horrified and asked "Wait.. And that turns you on!? Me acting like a scared little girl!?" Lightning shook his head and tried explaining "WHAT!? I didn't say that! No, not like that. It's not like that at all.. But you are making me think.. Like.. You just.. The way you.. Sound and breathe and"-"The way I sound makes you want to hurt me!?" She snapped and then pushed him off her gently and rolled over, away from him and sat up. Lightning was in disbelief. Sally was twisting and assuming and he was having trouble explaining this and wasn't even sure how to! He was now struck with such fear as he did not want to lose Sally because he was just a little too excited at the moment there. THAT to him, wasn't fair!

"You're being ridiculous Sally." Lightning growled. "It's like you want us to break up, but you don't want to be the reason. Is that it? Because if that's it, then just end it. I'm tired of this. I want you and I'm trying. That should be good enough." He said with such firmness in his tone. Sally picked up her shirt and used it to hold against her naked chest before replying "No, I don't want us to break up Lightning." "Than what the fuck!? I am giving you my best and you push me away!? Why? Because I kissed you with to much passion!? I kissed you too hard!? Do you hear that!? Do you hear how crazy you sound!?" He yelled which wasn't making her feel any better. "YOU HURT ME!" She reminded! Lightning only made it worse with "GET OVER IT!" It fell completely quiet. Both of them staring at each other. Not sure what to say next or who should even say it. Sally turned away and put on her bra then shirt and straightened up her hair while no one said a word. Lightning sat on the bed and for the first time.. He really began to think about their relationship and if he really wanted her because this was ridiculous. This was so stupid and Sally was childish here. She was playing mind games. Then Sally spoke saying "I'm going to go get a drink at the bar..." She put on her shoes, grabbed her purse and left the room quietly. Lightning sighed. He did what he could and like she had said. What if that's not enough?...
