Chapter 14: Shooting Range

Emma was sitting with her boyfriend of two weeks, Clay Spenser. She and Clay got together after she confided in him while she was angry at Jason for forcing her to take shooting lessons. He was teaching her the proper way to hold a gun.

FLASHBACK

'I can't believe him!' Emma was thinking as she stormed out of her house. 'What makes him think that he can just force me to take shooting lessons!' She climbed into her vehicle and drove down to the beach. She got out and walked down to the waves. She stood and just looked out into the ocean. She took a few deep breaths and tried to think of a way to get her dad to stop hounding her about this gun thing.

"Emma?" She heard from behind her. She turned and looked to see who it was.

"Clay." Emma said as she saw him standing in front of her wearing only swim trunks.

"What are you doing here? I thought Jason was supposed to spend the day with you?"

"We were supposed to spend the day together, but dad is forcing me to learn how to shoot a gun. So I left."

"You don't know how to shoot a gun?" Clay asked, shocked Jason had never taught Emma how to shoot.

"Of course I do, but he is on this kick where he wants me to carry a gun with me wherever I go when you guys aren't home."

"And, you don't want to?"

"No, I don't even want to go to the gun range with dad to practice."

"Why?"

"Because he yells! He thinks that everyone should be able to shoot like a SEAL. Do I look like a SEAL to you?" Emma asked, gestured to herself.

Clay shook his head back and forth and chuckled, "No. But I'll tell you what." Clay said, offering his hand to her.

"What?" Emma asked as she took Clay's hand and he pulled her over to the vehicles. "I will take you to the gun range and show you how to shoot proficiently if that would make this better between you and Jason."

"Really? You'd do that?" Emma asked, shocked that he would be kind enough to offer spending time with him.

"Of course." Emma launched herself at him and wrapped her arms and legs around him. He chuckled at her actions but wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." She said over and over again as she pulled back to look at him. Their faces were close together.

"On one condition…" Clay said as they were leaning towards each other.

"What's that?" Emma whispered.

"I get to take you out, on a date, after we go to the range." Clay said, whispering to her, only an inch away from her face.

Emma nodded and leaned into him. They kissed lightly before parting.

"When do you want to go?" Clay asked as he sat her back on the ground.

"Tomorrow?" Emma asked and Clay nodded.

END FLASHBACK

"Ok, do you know what kind of gun this is?" Clay asked.

"A handgun." Emma said and Clay chuckled.

"Yes, but the name for it is a SIG Sauer P226. This is the gun we carry in the SEALs. I'm going to teach you how to load the magazine, put it in the gun, fire it, and reload."

"Okay, and you will be patient, right?" Emma asked and Clay nodded.

"Yeah, I know how Jason can get. But, I promise that I will be patient."

"Good because daddy told me that I had to hit the target six times today or he was taking over lessons." Emma told him as she remembered her conversation with Jason.

FLASHBACK

Emma smiled the entire time she was heading home from the beach. She has had a massive crush on Clay ever since he joined Bravo. When she first met him, she could barely look at him without blushing. And as she got to know him, she realized that he was an amazing person. She pulled into the driveway, basically floated through the front door and into the kitchen. Jason was standing in the kitchen drinking a beer. Emma walked to him and hugged him.

"I have a solution to the issue from this morning." Emma told him and Jason looked at her.

"Really? You going to let me take you to the range?"

"No, but I will let Clay take me. I mean, he knows how to shoot too, right?"

"You'd rather Spenser teach you to shoot?"

"Clay is more patient than you. You go into Master Chief mode, meaning that you believe everyone is a SEAL. Clay will just not distract me as much. The main focus is to teach me how to shoot proficiently, right?"

"Yeah… okay, Spenser can take you to shoot. But, you have to hit the target six times or I take over training."

"Done."

END FLASHBACK

"I'll have you shooting like a SEAL in no time." Clay said confidently and Emma smiled, loving the fact that he believed in her.

An hour later, Emma was standing in front of the target with the gun in her hands. Clay had taught her how to place the bullets in the magazine, how to place the magazine in the gun, how to aim and the right stance.

"Okay, Em… spread your legs, both hands on the gun, aim at the target and fire."

"How many shots?" Emma asked.

"Ever how many you want, unload the mag if you feel comfortable doing that." Emma did as she was told and aimed the gun. She fired fifteen shots in succession and Clay was shocked at how many times he actually hit the target. She handed the gun back to Clay and turned to him.

"How did I do?"

"You did amazing! You hit the target every time. 13 of the 15 would kill him and two in the shoulder would definitely wound him enough to stop him."

"Does that mean we can stop and spend the rest of the day together?" Emma asked hopefully and Clay relented.

"Yes, let's pack up."

"Can I take a picture to show dad?"

"Yeah, definitely do that."

Clay took Emma back to his apartment with some takeout. He wanted to take her to a nice restaurant but Emma told him that she wanted to stay in with him. They sat down on his couch and began eating.

"So, you think dad will be impressed?" Emma asked in between bites.

"I would say yes, Jace is going to be very impressed."

"I actually had a good time. You are a very good instructor."

"Thanks, but you seem like a natural."

"Wonder if it's genetic?" Emma asked and they both laughed, knowing that once Jason found out, he would claim that.

"I had fun today." Clay told her and she smiled.

"Me too. More fun than I have in a long time."

"We should do this again sometime." Clay offered and Emma looked at him.

"I would love that. If you aren't busy…"

"I could never be too busy to hang out with you."

"I figured you would be out with your girlfriend… uh… dad told me her name." Emma said, trying to remember what it was.

"Stella." Clay offered and Emma nodded. "We broke up. She couldn't handle being with a SEAL."

"Well, you are obviously better off and she wasn't the one."

"Actually, I thought she was."

Emma scoffed, "any person who can't handle your job isn't the right person for you. If she loved you, if she really loved you, then your job wouldn't be an issue." Emma told him.

"You really think that?"

Emma looked at him as if he had lost his mind. "Of course I do. If I was dating someone like you and I loved you… your job wouldn't be an issue."

"Well, yeah, but you've lived this life everyday. You already know what to expect."

"That's true. But even if I didn't and I loved you, it wouldn't matter."

"Would you ever consider dating a SEAL?" Clay suddenly asked.

Emma looked at him and took a deep breath before nodding. "Yes, yes I would."

Clay kissed her after she admitted that she would willingly date a SEAL. Emma hesitated in kissing him before returning the kiss, passionately. Emma placed her hands on his face and he wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her closer to him. She climbed onto his lap and he leaned back against the couch. He placed his hands on her butt and moved her over his erection. Emma moaned as she felt him under her. They broke apart to catch her breath and they looked at each other, smiling.

"So… where do we go from here?" Clay asked, wanting Emma to be the one who makes the decision.

"Well… you could take me to bed." Emma said under hooded eyes with a sexy smile.

"Are you sure?" Clay asked and Emma nodded, before kissing him deeply. He grabbed her and stood up with her legs around his waist. He walked them into his bedroom and sat her down on his bed. He stood up and looked at her before he removed his t-shirt. Emma looked at his chest and abs. She kissed his abs and noticed that he had a scar on his side. She looked at him and said, "stab wound?"

"How did you know?" Clay asked, surprised. Emma chuckled and kissed the scar.

"I am Jason Hayes' daughter, you know. Do you have any idea how many times my dad has been stabbed?" She asked the rhetorical question before kissing his chest again. He leant down and kissed her on the lips. She moved back further on the bed before pulling her top over her head and Clay began removing her pants. She laid there, in front of him, in only her bra and panties.

"You are so beautiful." He breathed out and began unbuttoning his pants. After he is left with only his boxers on, he moves over her and settles between her thighs. Their hands roam and lips meet. After a few minutes of light kisses and touches, they remove the last of their clothes.

"Are you sure?" Clay asked once again, to make sure that he wasn't rushing her.

Emma nodded and said, "I want you, only you."

With that, Clay moved from her and grabbed a condom from his bedside table. He tore the rapper, rolled on the condom and positioned himself over her once again. As he began entering her, noticed that Emma began to tense. He stopped and looked at her. She moved her head to his and kissed him deeply. "Please, keep going." Clay began thrusting again and felt her hymen break as he finished entering her. "Oh!" Emma moaned loudly as she grabbed his shoulders.

"Are you okay?" Clay asked, wanting to make sure she wasn't hurting.

"Yes, I'm so okay. You feel so good in me." Emma said and Clay groaned, loving that she was vocal about their intimate situation.

"You feel so good around me." He replied and began to move.

"Oh, please!" Emma began to beg. Clay began to move faster and faster until she came with a scream. "Clay!"

He stops thrusting to watch her, she was so beautiful. Emma kissed him and she could feel him throbbing inside her. "Clay."

"Yeah, Em?"

"I want to feel you." She said and he began to move inside her once again. He thrust several more times before finishing. He moves off of her and out of bed to remove the condom. He returns to the bed and pulls her towards him. They curled up together for a few minutes until Emma broke their bubble. "I should probably get back home before dad comes looking for us."

"Yeah, I'll drive you home. You may want to take a shower."

Emma looked at him, confused.

"You smell like sex." Clay told her and Emma blushed. He smiled and kissed her. She got up, put her hair in a bun and got into the shower. She left the shower, got redressed, and they headed out the door.

Fifteen minutes later, Clay pulled up at the Hayes' house and Emma turned to him.

"Thank you for today." She said, looking at him.

"It was definitely no problem. Can we get together again this week?"

"For sex or for something else?" Emma asked him, wanting to make sure that he didn't want a fling.

"A date, definitely."

"Then yes, call me?"

"Of course. See you later." Emma got out of the truck and walked into the house. Jason was sitting on the couch and turned to look at her.

"How did it go today?" Jason asked and Emma smiled.

"I shot 15 rounds out of the magazine into the target." Emma told him, proudly.

"Seriously?" Jason asked, surprised that Spenser would have done such a good job with his daughter.

"Yes, I even took a picture." She took out her phone and showed him. Jason actually looked impressed.

"Wow! Em, this is amazing. Spenser did a great job!"

"Yeah, he definitely took care of me." Emma said before moving up the stairs and into her room.
