He Was My First Chapter 9, a seal team fanfic

Chapter 9: Lake

It was the afternoon of Ray and Naima's renewal of vows. Emma was running around the lake house trying to get everything ready. Her mother Alana, Mandy and Lisa were trying to help Naima do something with her dress and the kids. She was wearing a beautiful blue dress that was tight and reached her knees. She was looking at the flower arrangement when she felt someone behind her. She turned around and saw Clay Spenser standing there in a black suit and a royal blue tie that matched her dress.

"Hey, Clay." Emma said before returning to what she was doing and he looked around.

"Hey, Emma." Clay responded in a quiet manner. She stopped and turned around to look at him.

"Everything okay?" Emma asked, instantly concerned about Clay, who was usually so talkative and happy.

"Sure, why?"

"You just seem… not yourself, I guess."

"Stella broke up with me."

"Oh, I'm sorry Clay. Would you like to talk about it?" Emma knew that Clay had been dating this woman for a while, as long as he had been on Bravo at least, and he thought that he was in love with her. Clay had only been on the team for a few months.

"No, no, I don't want to ruin anyone's day."

"Clay, if you need someone to talk too, I'm here." Emma told him and he smiled before rubbing her back as a thank you. She blushed slightly because his warm hand was on her bare back. They looked at each other for a moment before her mother called for her. "I'll see you later."

"See you later." Clay said as he moved out of the house.

Three hours later, the vowel renewal was over and everyone was at the reception. They were dancing and singing and having a great time. Emma was sitting at the table and watching everyone. Her dad was dancing with Mandy while her mom was dancing with Blackburn. Ray and Naima were dancing together. Sonny and Lisa were dancing together. Brock and Trent were dancing with their significant others. Emma looked around and she didn't see Clay.

She noticed that there was a small walkway leading down to a wooded area near the lake. She moved towards the walkway and walked to the lake, she saw Clay sitting on a bench. She looked around and noticed that this area was completely isolated.

"Clay?" Emma asked, not wanting to sneak up on a Navy SEAL.

Clay turned and looked at her, "Hey, what's up? It's not time for the speeches is it?"

"No, I noticed that you weren't at the reception. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, Stella texted me. She is getting her stuff from the apartment."

"I'm sorry. I know how you felt about her." Emma said, walking up to the bench.

"Thanks, you want to sit?" Clay asked, motioning to the empty seat beside him. She sat down and turned to look at him.

"You want to talk now? You and Stella seemed happy at my 18th birthday party, what happened?" Emma asked.

Clay looked into her beautiful face and sighed, "she broke up with me during our deployment. Or… she wanted to take a break and then talk about our relationship after I got home."

"She broke up with you while you were in a warzone?" Emma asked, completely shocked. Clay nodded and looked at her, he thought that he could actually see steam coming from her ears and her face turn red from anger. "What the hell was she thinking?"

"She can't handle being with someone in the military. She told me that I would be the perfect boyfriend, husband, if I wasn't a SEAL."

"But you wouldn't be you if you weren't a SEAL." Emma said, looking at him.

"Maybe I'm not worthy of someone…" Clay started but Emma stopped him by grabbing his hands.

"You are worthy of having someone who loves you just as much as you love them. Because if it's real love, it won't matter what you do or how long you're gone. The only thing that would matter is you and her. You deserve to have someone who will stand by you and love you and comfort you." Emma told him in a stern voice.

Clay looked at her and pulled her hands to his lips and kissed them. "Thanks for that."

"It's true. You deserve to have someone that will stand by you no matter what." Emma said, smiling at him. She stood up and pulled him with her, "you want to go dance?"

As she pulled him up, his body collided with hers. He swallowed and leaned towards her. Their lips met lightly and they hesitated for a moment before responding to each other. Emma wrapped her arms around his waist and Clay held her face and neck. Their kiss deepened and they backed up to the bench again. Clay sat down with Emma on his lap, their lips did not leave each other's mouths. Hands began to roam, Clay ran his hands over her sides, hips, and legs. His hands went under her dress and pulled her closer. Clay's lips moved from hers to her neck and Emma's eyes closed. Her hands went to his waist and began undoing his belt and pants.

"Wait, are you sure?" Clay asked, looking at her lust filled eyes.

"Yes, I want you." Emma said as she began to unzip him.

Clay moved under her dress and pulled down her panties. After her panties were off, he placed them on the bench beside them and she pulled his hardened length out of his boxers. Their lips met again as he entered her.

"Oh my god!" Emma gasped and closed her eyes. He felt so good inside her, she had never had anything inside her before, it felt foreign but amazing.

"Oh, Emma!" Clay groaned as he felt her tight, wet sheath. "Are you okay?" He whispered and she nodded before moving on top of him. He held her hips as they moved together. Emma laid her hands on his shoulder and grabbed his jacket. They moved together until they met their releases together. Both of them were panting by the end. After they caught their breaths, they shared a light kiss.

They broke apart. Emma climbed off of him and pulled her panties back on. Clay fixed himself before standing and looking at her. She looked nervous for a moment before opening her mouth to say something. Clay cut her off with a kiss.

"That was amazing." He whispered and Emma blushed.

"Are you ready to go back to the party?" Emma asked and Clay nodded.

"As long as we get to dance together."

Emma smiled and led him back to the reception. No one seemed to notice that they were missing. They stood on the edge of the dance floor and began to slow dance, just like everyone else in their family. Tracy Byrd's song "Keeper of the Stars" began to play and they smiled, knowing it was the perfect song for them.

'It was no accident me finding you

Someone had a hand in it

Long before we ever knew

Now I just can't believe you're in my life

Heaven's smilin' down on me

As I look at you tonight'

"So, are we going to talk about what happened?" Emma asked, wanting to know where they stood.

"We can. You want to do it right now?" Clay asked, looking around at the members of Bravo, wanting to make sure they were not within listening distance.

"Now is as good a time as any." Emma told him and moved closer so she could whisper to him without the others hearing.

'I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars

He sure knew what he was doin'

When he joined these two hearts

I hold everything

When I hold you in my arms

I've got all I'll ever need

Thanks to the keeper of the stars'

"Do you want this to be a one time thing?" Emma asked, not making eye contact.

Clay sighed, "honestly, no. When we were talking earlier you said something that made sense."

"Like what?"

"I need someone who will be there for me no matter the circumstances. I need someone who understands what I do and we will love me the way I am. Do you think that can be you?" Clay said, placing his heart on his sleeve.

Emma looked into his eyes and smiled. "Of course it could be me."

'Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine

It takes my breath away

Just to look into your eyes

I know I don't deserve a treasure like you

There really are no words

To show my gratitude'

"So… what happens next?" Clay asked as they moved together.

"A date?" Emma questioned and he smiled.

"I'd like that."

"This song is right you know." Clay said as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"About what?"
