Chapter 6

Sam stumbled across the path to Aunt Sue's house. She had just finished her last final earlier that day and went to a friend's house to celebrate. In two days she would walk and get her diploma at her graduations. Her family was flying out tomorrow to see her, but she was told that Jake wouldn't be able to make it due to work. When her friend Sally said that they should celebrate Sam didn't realize that there would be drinking involved. For all the years Sam was in college she was able to escape without underage drinking, but tonight her friends cornered her. They said that it wasn't fair that she was graduating a year earlier than them and that they wouldn't be able to celebrate her 21st birthday with her. Sam's friend Evan was nice enough to walk her home to make sure that she made it back all right.

"Easy Sam," Evan said grabbing a hold of her arm.

"Not my fault you guys got me tipsy," she said as she pulled her keys out.

"I still can't believe that you got engaged," he said as they walked up the steps to the door.

"It happened six months ago, get over it."

"Yeah, but I still like you."

Sam stopped what she was doing and looked Evan straight in the eyes as she asked, "Since when have you liked me?"

"Practically since the day we met," Evan said hanging his hands from his front pockets.

"Sorry, but I'm engaged," Sam said as she stuck the key into the door. "I'm still bummed that he can't make it the graduation."

"Where's your aunt?"

"Oh she had to leave to go on a short business trip. She promised to be back for graduation though."

"So you're home alone?"

"Yeah, why do you want to know?"

"Well we could have some fun together tonight," Evan said kissing her. Sam tried to shove him off, but she couldn't as they stumbled through the door.

"Evan I'm engaged," Sam said as he pined her against the wall hands above her head.

"Well if I was you're fiancé I wouldn't let you out of my site," he said kissing her again.

Sam began to panic. She could tell that he was too strong for her to get out of his grip. Thinking fast Sam bit his lip hard to try and get him off of her.

"What the fuck Sam that hurt!"

"Get off of me!"

"But we're going to have fun tonight," he said ripping her plaid button down shirt open. Evan smiled when he saw that she was wearing a black lacey bra on.

Sam closed her eyes as she tried to fight him off of her. Evan then used one of his hands to slid across her exposed flesh. Cringing at the feeling of him sliding his hand up underneath her bra to squeeze her breast, Sam wished this night would end. She was then screaming trying to make as much noise as possible she heard Evan grunt in pain as he let go of her. Opening her eyes she saw Jake standing in front of her, eyes blazing in anger.

"What the hell man, can't you see that I'm trying to have fun with my girl tonight," Evan said rubbing his jaw, trying to make it sound like he wasn't doing anything wrong.

Jake punched him again and broke his nose.

"What do you mean by your girl when she is my fiancé?" Jake roared.

"I thought you weren't supposed to be here," he replied.

"Well guess it's a good thing I am, 'cause I can kick your ass for trying to force yourself on Sam," Jake growled.

Jake was about to take another swing at Evan when Sam wrapped her arms around him.

"Jake, he's not worth it," Sam said hugging him from behind.

"Thanks Sam, hope there's not hard feelings," Even said trying to wipe

"Evan, if you don't get out of this house within the next minute I will let Jake have his way with you," she threatened without bothering to look at him.

When she heard the door slam shut she hugged Jake tighter. He struggled to turn around and hold her in his arms.

"Sam are you okay?"

"Yeah, just shaken up," she said felling tears run down her face. "When did you get here?"

"Around nine," he said kissing the top of her head. "I used the spare key to get in. Must have fallen asleep waiting for you, but your screaming woke me up."

"Jake I'm sorry I never thought…" Sam started but was overwhelmed and started to cry.

"Shhh, it's okay Sam. Not mad at you but him."

When they finally pulled apart Sam frowned down at her shirt.

"Guess I should go change."

Jake followed Sam up the stairs and into her room. Sam then noticed a small suitcase at the edge of her bed. As she undid he top the rest of the way Sam couldn't help but think what could have happened if Jake wasn't here. She could still feel Evan touch on her body and noticed that her hands were trembling. Dropping her shirt on the floor Sam turned to face Jake. He sat on her bed with his head in his hands. Sam took a deep breath as she walked over to Jake.

"Jake, can you help me forget what happened and could've happened?" Sam asked grabbing Jake hands.

"Are you sure?"

"Please."

Without another word Jake pulled Sam onto the bed. He then climbed on top of her and kissed her deeply. Sam arched her back as Jake slid his hand onto her back to undo her bra. She could feel the difference in how her body reacted Jake's touch verses Evan's. Her body welcomed Jake's touch and felt like it was on fire everywhere he touched. Sam was too focused on where Jake touched her that she didn't realize that they were both naked until Jake pulled her leg up and entered her.
