AUTHOR'S NOTE: This standalone instalment of Who Dares Wins follows on from Chapter 62, starting where it left off. As always, I preface my mature-rated pieces with a warning for sexual scenes. For the ultimate immersion in this chapter, I suggest beginning your reading from Chapter 55, 'Home Sweet Home,' through Ch62, in the main story.
Who Dares Wins
Afterparty
Hereford
Saturday, 1 December, 2007
Chuck, Sarah, Cole, Sophie, Jamie, and Emily stumbled into a dimly lit food outlet, laughing and talking loudly.
"An excellent idea to stop for food, Chuck!" Cole said, grinning at his best man. "It isn't even a detour from our place! But it would have been a detour worth taking because I'm starving!"
Chuck's eyes filled with fondness, a smile spreading across his face as he nodded at his best friend.
"What shall we have?" Jamie asked.
On receiving the cue, the three couples huddled together to peruse the chalkboard menu of the takeaway restaurant.
Jamie—with his drunken eyes and confused mind—was the first to decide in under a minute. "I'll have a doner kebab!"
"That sounds good to me, Jamie!" Cole emitted a rowdy chuckle in approval.
"I'll have a burger!" Sarah said, her head spinning while her mouth watered at the thought of the savoury meat and melted cheese.
Chuck saw the hunger and desire in his girlfriend's eyes and had to bite his lip to keep from laughing.
"Cheesy chips for me," Emily said.
Sophie turned to look at Chuck. "Same as usual for our late-night drunken food?"
Chuck nodded, his gaze lingering on one of his closest bonds with a sense of fondness.
"What's your usual?" Sarah asked with a smile, wanting to learn more about her boyfriend.
"Chips and curry sauce," Chuck said with a grin.
Sarah's giggles were a sure sign that they had both had too much to drink, but they didn't care as they leaned in to share a kiss.
Once they parted from the kiss, Sarah's stomach grumbled.
Sarah couldn't decide which was more appealing: the thought of devouring the food, or the thought of being devoured by him. "I think I want some chips and curry too, now!" she said.
Chuck's face lit up with joy, suppressing laughter. "You can have some of mine, baby."
Sarah's sweet giggle of approval filled the air as she moved to caress Chuck's face before their lips met again.
They kissed with passion, both feeling aroused by every activity they'd already engaged in since they started the day, while the taste of alcohol on their lips reminded them of the wild night they'd all just had together.
"Let's make the order then before the place closes and we all go without!" Jamie said.
Chuck and Sarah stopped kissing to join the rest in nodding, then they shared a sexy smile.
After placing their order, the group dug out their money until Sophie interrupted with a smile, "It's on me. Keep your money in your pockets. It's my treat."
Chuck, Sarah, Jamie and Emily turned a little fidgety.
"Are you sure?" Sarah asked, smiling at her new friend. "We would all be happy to share the cost."
Everyone nodded.
Sophie smiled at Sarah, then ran her hand down Sarah's arm. "I'm sure. It's my treat, as the host, so say no more."
Sarah's warm smile conveyed her agreement as she nodded.
Sophie then paid for the couple's late-night food.
A moment passed as the three couples waited for their food.
Sarah's short leopard dress, though extraordinarily fashionable, was no match for the harsh winter air.
She soon felt colder and colder with every passing moment as the frigid winter air penetrated her short dress.
Her skin prickled with goosebumps from the crisp air as she locked eyes with her boyfriend. "I'm cold," she pined.
She could feel the heat of Chuck's smile as he wrapped his muscular arms around her.
From there, Sarah sought refuge from the biting cold by nuzzling into his frame, taking comfort in his warmth as they awaited their food.
A few minutes later
The couples left the takeaway restaurant, their hands full of greasy food and styrofoam containers.
"Tonight was one of the best nights I've ever had, thanks to all of you, as well as the rest who split off earlier," Chuck said, smiling at his friends and girlfriend.
With a kebab in one hand, Cole used the other to point at Chuck in a show of endorsement.
"We had fun while some of us made new friends," Sophie said with affection.
Sarah laughed softly. "I really let my hair down. I hope I didn't embarrass myself."
Sophie spoke before anyone else could. "You were just having a good time. No less than I was."
Sarah smiled, then looked at Cole, who spoke. "I couldn't have said it any better."
"Yeah, they're right, mate," Jamie said with a grin. "I can speak for myself as well as the rest of us not here in saying we were all happy to see you happy and enjoying yourself."
Sarah smiled at her teammate, then shifted her warm gaze to Sophie. "We should meet up sometime, Sophie, when Chuck and Cole do."
Sophie's smile reached her eyes, filling them with warmth. "That sounds lovely! I'll give both of you my number. You can call me anytime."
"Me too," Sarah said, but she then laughed after a moment. "Actually, maybe not anytime because of my work."
Sophie shared the laughter with her. "Trust me, darling, I know that from Cole and Chuck already."
Sarah snorted, looking fondly at the friendly English girl. "What about you? What's your work?"
"I'm a nurse at the major county hospital in Hereford," Sophie said.
Sarah smiled, then turned to look at her boyfriend when he spoke. "So when any of us get sick, it means that we have Sophie to look after us."
"That's your sister's job, Chuck," Sophie reminded.
Chuck suppressed laughter.
"And don't count on Sophie being a nurse for long because I'm trying to get her to use her business skills and sharp mind to make us even more money!" Cole chuckled.
"I'll change my job when you change yours, Cole," Sophie said firmly.
"That sounds fair," Jamie said.
Sarah nodded. "Yeah, it does."
Everyone else nodded.
The three couples ate awkwardly, their movements unsteady and uncoordinated as they made their way towards Cole and Sophie's place.
After a few minutes, Chuck's serving of chips in curry sauce was too tempting for Sarah to resist, so she moved in for some.
She approached his serving tentatively, her eyes locked on his in case he said anything in protest. However, he merely smiled.
Sarah smiled back, then ate the chips.
A few minutes later
The three couples walked up the long steeping driveway to Cole and Sophie's home.
For Sarah and Emily, they were seeing the property for the first time.
Their glance soon connected to a detached dormer bungalow.
"Wow," Sarah said in amazement, taking in the impressive home through her drunken haze.
Chuck suppressed laughter. "Yeah, Cole wanted to show off. That's why he got it."
Cole's narrowed eyes followed the trajectory of his pointed finger at Chuck, the insult of his partner in crime still stinging.
"You can't afford this on a soldier and nurse's salary," Emily declared.
Jamie laughed. "That's what we all thought when they moved in a year ago."
"Yeah," Chuck said, nodding. "The short story is that Cole's marrying Sophie for her money!"
Cole's pointing grew more forceful. "Watch it, Chuck, or I might make Jamie my best man!"
"It's ok, Chuck, because I think it too sometimes," Sophie joked.
The group shared laughter as Cole complained, "Hey! Less of that! I put towards this place, too!"
"But not as much as Sophie did," Chuck said tongue-in-cheek. "Just like the wedding."
Sarah turned to look at Chuck. "Maybe she wants to pay her way? Like I paid for our date earlier."
"Hang on a minute!" a contemptuous glance accompanied Cole's words directed at Chuck. "You let her pay for the date, looking as good as she does?"
The rest shot a gaze at Chuck, but they turned to look at Sarah when she said, "I wanted to."
"I'm not taking any grief for this like I did at the bar for my joke because this time, I had no choice! It was either that, or we didn't go at all despite my attempted protest!" Chuck protested.
Sarah nodded affirmatively.
Sophie fought off laughter. "I regret not making Chuck pay for the food now."
"He's had it free all day!" Cole said, pointing at Chuck with a grin.
Sarah looked around with a smile. "Actually, he paid for most of the morning we shared, including my hair."
"I knew he was my best man for something!" Cole chuckled rowdily.
The group laughed as Sophie took in Sarah's hair for a long moment. "Your hair looks great. Is it your natural colour?"
"Aside from the dark foils, yep," Sarah said.
Sophie smiled. "It suits you well. The length is perfect, though I'm sure a shorter cut would suit you, too."
Sarah's lips curved into a smile, mirroring the kindness she saw in her new friend's eyes. "Thanks."
Chuck took out a packet of mints. "Anyone for a mint?"
Sarah directed her smile at Chuck before taking a mint from him.
The rest accepted Chuck's mint offering with a sense of gratitude.
Sophie's gaze lingered on her fiancé's closest confidant, filled with affection. "He always has these when we need them."
"That's the reason I'm dating him," Sarah joked with a giggle.
Chuck narrowed his eyes as the group laughed along with her.
"I think based on the mood Speedy Gonzales was in, it was a good thing for him to not come back here!" Jamie chortled.
Cole laughed a deep chuckle. "He would have been paying for any damage or I would string him up by his toes and put him on the barbecue on Sunday!"
Everyone shared the laughter as they entered Sophie and Cole's property.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O
The three couples sat around a table at Sophie and Cole's property, sharing glasses of alcohol and conversation.
"So, you grew up around here, Sophie?" Sarah asked, glancing at the attractive, dark-haired woman who was sporting a warm smile seated facing her.
Sophie nodded. "Hereford, born and raised. How about yourself?"
"London," Sarah said, forcing a smile, feeling less than proud of her earlier life.
"Which part?" Sophie asked.
Sarah's face contorted, betraying her shame at her privileged upbringing.
Chuck, unable to register her reservations because of his drunken state and the pride he felt in her, spoke up. "The very best part. She's amazing. Instead of a life of luxury, she's slogging it out in the SAS, helping those who need help."
His intervention failed to alleviate Sarah's awkwardness. Instead, it only amplified it.
Luckily for them both, Cole had an immediate topic change, chuckling, "It sounds like Chuck's getting with Sarah for the same reasons he falsely accuses me of!"
Cole found himself underwhelmed by the lacklustre response he received from those seated around the table.
"No, Cole, the reason Chuck's with Sarah is that she's the best-looking woman I have ever seen," Sophie said matter-of-factly.
Sophie's reason got a much better response, including from Jamie, who chortled, "Of course, that's the reason, but she's a great person as well, so Chuck has the perfect package!"
"Yeah, I do," Chuck said with a loving grin.
Sarah shifted a warm smile between her boyfriend, Jamie, and then Sophie. "You don't look so bad yourself," she said, her gaze now on her new friend.
Cole pointed in immediate agreement at Sarah.
Sophie's face lit up with joy. "Because that came from you, it's one of the best compliments I've ever had."
Sarah's laughter was as sweet as honey.
Chuck turned to look at Jamie and Emily. "Jamie hasn't done badly for himself, either."
"And I have you to thank for that, mate," Jamie said with a grin.
Chuck nodded, his shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter.
"I'm glad lockdown is finally over so we can spend more time together," Emily said.
Sophie smiled. "So am I because Cole and I have a wedding to plan and proceed with."
"Does the lockdown thing happen often?" Emily asked.
Cole shook his head. "It's one of the first and only times something like that happened, at least for that long."
"And thank god for that as well, mate, or I'd hand in my resignation and I mean it!" Jamie chortled.
The group shared laughter with him.
Emily turned to look at Chuck and Sarah. "It must have been easier for you both."
"It wasn't easier for us at all!" Chuck said in instant disagreement, shaking his head.
Sarah nodded.
Chuck tried to make his tone less harsh, then continued, "We could see each other all the time, unlike the rest of you. But we had to hide how we felt about each other and remain professional whenever on duty as well. Even now that lockdown's over, it's going to be much harder for us than everyone else because we need to walk a tightrope between professional and personal. Otherwise, we'll have everyone down our throats."
"Chuck's right. I don't envy their situation," Cole said.
Jamie and Sophie nodded.
"What are some good things for couples to do around here?" Sarah asked, eager to hear ideas now that lockdown was over.
Sophie took a moment, then asked, "What have you done so far?"
"A romantic walk where the old castle used to be, then along the embankment, a visit to the cathedral, and a museum tour. Other than that, just bars and restaurants," Sarah said.
"As home as Hereford is, there aren't many romantic places, unfortunately," Sophie said with a sorrowful smile. "You're limited mostly to nature walks, such as The Weir Gardens."
Chuck nodded. "I'm one step ahead there. I'm planning it as soon as possible, but we can't even do that because of our restriction to Credenhill-Hereford because of our six-month counter-terror deployment."
"I'm sorry for ruining the surprise," Sophie said.
Chuck smiled, waving it off. "It's fine. I have many more surprises planned as soon as we can leave the area, so don't worry about it."
"Feel free to get those out of him, too, because I don't like surprises," Sarah admitted, laughing.
Everyone laughed with her.
"What about kayaking & canoeing along the river?" Cole suggested with a grin. "You're both fit enough for it."
Sarah giggled. "He won't be able to keep up with me."
Chuck winced while everyone else laughed.
He then stood and moved to take hold of Sarah, despite her attempts to avoid his hold from forming.
Once he had a firm hold of her, he squeezed hold of her chin and kissed her lips.
The group laughed at the cuteness and intimacy of Chuck and Sarah.
When the soft clicking sound of their lips parting signalled the end of the kiss, Chuck said, "Challenge accepted. And we're gonna record the whole thing so we can all see who really wins."
"I'm looking forward to that!" Cole said with a grin.
Jamie clapped his hands together in excitement, then said, "Not half as much as me, mate!"
Sarah shook her head, a small smile playing on her lips as she gazed adoringly into her boyfriend's eyes. "Now look what you've done."
"No, look what you've done," Chuck said in reply, tapping her on her nose.
A sweet, melodic laugh escaped from Sarah's lips.
Sophie, who was watching Chuck and Sarah's exchanges in fondness, said, "I think it might be a good time to end the afterparty here so we can each enjoy our personal relationships."
"Good idea!" Cole said with a grin.
Jamie looked at his watch, taking an additional moment longer than normal to study it because of his drunken state. "It's after 4am so we probably should because we have to be at the pool by two."
Everyone nodded.
"Unfortunately, only one other bedroom has a connected bathroom to it," Sophie informed.
Sarah looked at Jamie. "That's okay because I'll fight Jamie for who gets to have it."
"You can have it, mate!" Jamie chortled. "Seeing the two punches on John was enough for me and anyway, I'd have to fight both of you, so the odds are against me."
"He is a smart man!" Cole chuckled.
The group laughed and once it calmed, Sophie said, "I'll show you to your rooms."
O-o-O-o-O-o-O
Chuck and Sarah entered the room allocated to them and then turned to face Sophie.
"I hope you have a great night," Sophie said with a smile.
Sarah and Chuck smiled back. "Thanks. You too."
"We'll see you in the morning," Chuck said.
"Good night," Sophie said with tenderness.
Chuck and Sarah shared a warm embrace and a gentle kiss with Sophie, then watched her walk away.
Once Sophie was out of sight, Chuck closed the door and then turned to face Sarah.
"Nice touch with Jamie getting this bedroom," he said, flashing a grin.
Sarah snorted. "I'm good at getting what I want."
"Oh, I know," Chuck laughed softly.
Her smile took on a mischievous, almost sinister quality.
Chuck kicked off his footwear and socks, relieved to be barefooted after a long day.
Sarah joined him in the action, taking off her leopard print stilettos.
"Ready for bed, then?" he asked.
Sarah's lips formed a suggestive smile. "I'm ready for much more than that, but the prospect of having sex in the same home as other people is awkward."
"Yeah, it is," he said, but a mischievous grin of his own formed. "But I hope you're not gonna bug out now because that would be a wicked trick to pull on me after the promise of more at your place, plus everything we've done since."
Her suggestive smile developed into a devilish grin. "Yeah, that would be wicked. And those four will be having sex too, anyway. So I guess I've no choice but to give you what you want."
He nodded more emphatically than he had ever done in his life.
She gave a wicked laugh and took hold of him, her fingers digging into his skin as she pushed him towards the bed.
The lovers, inebriated and unable to see in the darkness, tumbled onto the bed in an awkward heap.
The bed creaked under their weight as they shared drunken laughter and stumbled into a kiss.
Chuck stroked her face, then asked against her lips, "Lights off, or on?"
"It's up to you. I like what you like," she said, straddling him.
He reached up to kiss her again, taking hold of her hips. "Lights on then. I love to look at you, beautiful," he whispered into her mouth.
"Ok," Sarah agreed, then deepened the kiss. She fumbled around in search of a light switch, but she found nothing but darkness.
Chuck suppressed laughter at her inability to find the light. He removed a hand from holding her and moved to turn on the light, already knowing where it was because he'd slept in here often.
When the bedside lamp flooded the room, they paused their embrace to gaze into each other's eyes.
"Hey," he said with a grin.
She smiled back. "Hi."
"I'm glad we told the team about us," Chuck said, returning his hand from the lamp to caress her face. "Taking aside the way Dan got it out of us, tonight couldn't have gone any better."
"Me too. I'm glad we don't have to hide how we feel anymore," she said.
He grimaced. "We still might."
She narrowed her glance. "Why?"
"Because we still exist in the same city as the rest of the regiment. For all we know, some of them were at the nightclub tonight," he admitted.
Sarah took an extended moment in thought. "You know what? If anyone saw us tonight, then so be it. We put on a show for them if they did," she laughed.
"Yeah," he said, struggling to contain his laughter as he took hold of her chest. "We did."
A sultry laugh escaped her lips, signalling her approval of both his words and actions.
They kissed again as she played at the buttons of his shirt.
Chuck raised himself from the bed and could climb out of the shirt smoothly, thanks to her skilled button undoing.
Once he was shirtless, the warmth of their embrace intensified as they fell back, their lips never parting.
When they stopped to catch their breath, she arched her back.
They shared a smile.
She used his chest as leverage, lowering herself down and peppering kisses along his skin.
Sarah paused at his groin, looking back up at him, her eyes full of desire. "Don't worry, I'll help you out of your pants so you don't get stuck in them like you did in London again."
"I thought that was our little secret!" he said with a narrowed gaze, his eyes locked with her, a burning stare in response to her teasing remark.
"It is our little secret, babe," Sarah said, then she let out a joyful giggle, feeling pleased with herself and the way he reacted.
She kept her promise and grasped his pants, pulling them and herself away from Chuck with a gentle tug, discarding them from around his ankles.
Sarah dumped the pants without care, then returned to hover over Chuck on the bed, her glance lowering to his arousal.
She let out a joyful smile, then met his glance again. "No extra work needed for me. Not bad."
"It helps that my girlfriend is a supermodel," he said, suppressing laughter. "And the perfect dress you're in, and maybe the dancing at the club."
Sarah giggled in affection. "I felt your dick against me at the club," she admitted, biting her lip.
Chuck narrowed his eyes. "I hope nobody else saw the massive tent," he said, a little flustered.
Sarah scoffed as she moved to take hold of his arousal. "I don't care if they did."
"I gathered that based on how long we bumped and ground," he said with a grin.
She looked up with no expression at him, his arousal in her hand. "I didn't see you complaining."
"I wasn't complaining then, nor am I now," he said, his face full of affection, looking smittenly down at her as she hovered over his groin. "I just get a little embarrassed about PDA sometimes."
"I know," she said, stroking his arousal. "You were embarrassed when we made out on the bridge."
He nodded.
"Why?" she asked simply, not feeling the need to rush their lovemaking—they never did.
Chuck pondered the question for a moment, which wasn't easy due to what Sarah was doing to him with her hand and the arousal he felt. "I guess it's because I respect other people and don't want them to think badly of us if they don't like something we've done to offend them."
"That's what's so great about you like Dan said earlier. You try to treat everybody with respect," she said with a smile. "But I don't want us to hide how we feel. We do that more than enough while we're working."
He nodded. "You're right. So I promise I'll get used to it because I'm not embarrassed by the fact I'm dating the most beautiful woman imaginable."
She felt a surge of happiness from his compliment, clear by her beaming smile. "I guess I have a way to reward you for your latest compliment."
"Oh? How?" he asked.
"I can reward you like this," she said, breaking their gaze as she lowered herself to take his arousal halfway into her mouth, tasting the saltiness of his sex.
Chuck's breathing became laboured as Sarah's warm mouth enveloped him, causing him to gaze up at the sky in ecstasy.
"God, I'm the luckiest guy," he proclaimed, then looked back at her.
Sarah's gaze met his again, her eyes full of desire.
She soon lowered her hand around him to the bottom of his erection, arched herself back until just the tip of him was in her mouth, and then pushed herself forward to take him into her mouth until his tip touched the back of her throat.
Chuck's words were a jumbled mess as he mumbled incomprehensibly at the sublime feeling of her deepthroating him. It was one feeling he would never tire of experiencing, no matter how often she did it.
She held their intimate glance for a moment more, then lowered it as she got to work on sucking him off, her hand also working on tugging him in a two-pronged attack.
Chuck felt the heat rising by the second, but Sarah was happy to remain in the dress to protect her from the harsh December air.
After a moment, she took him out of her mouth and kissed her way down his shaft until she arrived at his balls.
She moved to take a soft squeeze of them, licking away at them as she did so, her free hand tugging away at her lover's fully erect member.
Chuck's chest rose and fell rapidly under Sarah's tantalising touch.
They'd had sex under ten times, but he already knew she was the best lover he'd had.
She felt the same.
Sarah returned her mouth to deepthroat him again, her breathing also becoming flustered, but she was on a mission, not intending to stop until he shot his load down her throat.
She continued in her pleasuring of him, her mouth sucking him off with expertise, while one hand wanked away at him, and her other fondled at his balls.
After a few minutes, Chuck felt close. He cried out her name, "Sarah!", his voice filled with pleasure.
Sarah met her sparkling sapphire orbs with his, his manhood buried deep inside her mouth.
She knew he was close to orgasm, so she held her stare with him and increased the intensity of her actions, wanting him to surrender to his pleasure and climax.
The orgasm soon approached and once she saw him lose control of his body, her arousal and feelings for him increased to no end.
She increased the pace of her pleasuring him further, her glance diverting to his dick in her mouth.
After a moment, he cried out to her again.
Sarah looked back at him again, just in time as he succumbed to an intense orgasm, ejaculating into Sarah's warm and eagerly receiving mouth.
She continued sucking and sucking, with no intention of stopping until he'd released every drop into her mouth and throat.
Once he had, she released him from her mouth, and the taste of salt lingered on her tongue as she swallowed.
They looked into each other's eyes, feeling the sticky sweat from their lovemaking already clinging to their bodies.
"That was the best-tasting thing I've had all night," she said with a sexy smile.
Chuck scoffed, unable to breathe as normal. "You're a very convincing liar, baby, after the amazing food on our date."
A mischievous smirk crept onto Sarah's face as she let out a giggle. "Ok, one of the best, then."
He grinned. "You're amazing. I'm sure you're gonna taste great, too."
Sarah snorted. "I still have your cum inside me from my place after our date."
He suppressed laughter, still fighting for breath. "That's not gonna stop me from going down on you at some point soon. But I thought you weren't staying in the dress tonight?"
"I'm not," she said with a smile. "I just wanted to give you another memory of me in it, and because I'm cold."
He gave her a loving grin. "I'm still not sure what I did to deserve a perfect lover like you, but I'm not gonna complain ever again! And don't worry, because I'm going to warm you right up."
"Ooh!" she laughed sexily. "I wonder how long it will take you to get hard again?"
He held his loving gaze, staring into her eyes. "With someone as perfect as you hovering over me, about two seconds."
Sarah snorted. "That sounds good because I'm so wet and ready for you."
"Can I feel?" he asked, his eyes lighting up in desire as moved out a hand toward her.
Sarah nodded, her eyes sparkling in desire as she climbed up to him.
Once she was close enough, she stopped.
He reached his hand behind her dress, pulling it up slightly.
When he exposed her panties, he pushed his hand inside, pausing his fingers against her clit.
Her breath caught at his actions, their eyes locked in a lover's stare.
Chuck's fingers soon lowered further towards her vaginal opening, where he felt the most arousing sensation awaiting him.
"You're right," he said, nodding. "You are ready. And oh gee, is this the most sublime feeling ever?"
She snorted. "That's how I feel when your dick is in my mouth."
He suppressed fond laughter, then curled and entered two fingers into her vagina.
Sarah gasped as soon as he touched her, feeling a sudden rush of pleasure that made her toes curl.
"I should get out of my dress. I'm already feeling hotter," she joked, her breath flustered.
Chuck muted laughter, nodding, then with reluctance, he removed his hand from inside her.
Her breath caught again at his touch.
She then moved to sit on the bed, taking hold of her panties as she pulled them from her and discarded them.
Chuck moved to sit, his arms enveloping her as he helped her out of her dress.
With just her bra left to discard, Chuck moved his hands to unclasp it from her back and, once free of her, he took it into his hands.
He admired the underwear piece of his girlfriend for a moment, then said, "Nice set, baby."
She arched herself to meet his glance and smiled. "Thanks. As soon as I get the chance, I'm heading to a lingerie store to buy some more pieces for you."
"Can it be leopard?" he joked with a loving gaze.
She nodded. "Ok."
"I was joking," he said, suppressing laughter.
Sarah turned to face him. "I wasn't. I know you like it, so I'll add leopard to a lot more of my attire."
"I love you in everything," he said, his words straight from the heart as he moved to caress her face, and then they kissed.
When their lips parted, she smiled, then said, "I know. But I don't just want your eyes. I want you feeling aroused for me and wanting to screw my brains out and make me forget my name."
He suppressed additional laughter. Then they kissed again before they moved under the covers and lay facing each other.
They moved in close as he wrapped his arm around her chest while she wrapped her leg over his groin and down his back until their hips joined.
"You're so perfect," he said, awestruck at her beauty.
She smiled under his gaze, turning shy.
They kissed again.
Their kissing was soft and expressed their building intimacy.
They went back in, as seconds became thirds and thirds went on with no end.
After a moment, she felt him getting aroused again against her sex.
They parted from kissing, touching foreheads as their eyes met.
"Are you ready?" she whispered.
He nodded, grinning as he moved back to kiss her.
In the extremely intimate position they lay, Chuck moved his hips around, lining himself up.
Once lined up, he entered inside her.
The young lovers gasped at the contact, breaking their kiss to regain their breath.
"You feel amazing," he breathed, his tone soft and flustered.
Sarah couldn't focus on anything else as she felt him inside her, every inch of him. "So do you," she said, her tone strained from their intimacy.
They kissed tenderly while he moved gently, making love to her.
After a minute, as nice as the gentle was, Sarah wanted increased intensity between them.
Sarah broke from their kissing, taking hold of him as she turned him until she was on top of him and riding him, his sex still buried deep inside hers.
She lowered herself back down to kiss him, grinding her thrusts against his arousal.
He moved his hands to take a firm hold of her breasts.
They paused from kissing only to regain their breath as they made love.
Sarah rode him for another minute, then broke their kissing to draw in a much larger intake of air, feeling exhausted from events already after their lengthy day and numerous sex acts already having taken place throughout the day.
Chuck detected her exhaustion, forced a smile in concern, and said, "Let me lead?"
She nodded, feeling too breathless to say anything.
He took hold of her shoulders, raising himself, and left her vaginal walls as he turned her until she lay on her back and he hovered over her.
Now in their new position, they paused briefly to get their breath back, before Chuck departed a hand to join his manhood.
He lined himself up again, then reentered her.
They gasped again in sync at the feeling of each other.
With no further use for his hand, he returned it to Sarah's breasts, using both hands to grip hold of her as he sought a steady rhythm to his thrusting into her.
The increased intensity of his thrusting drew Sarah close to orgasm, causing her to break from kissing to cry out, "Chuck!"
He knew she was about to lose control, so he helped her achieve that, increasing the intensity of his thrusting into her and taking a firm hold of her breasts, squeezing them with vigour.
The extra vigour in his touch took her to the place she yearned to be, surrendering herself to him and her approaching climax.
Sarah gasped as she climaxed, feeling every inch of his body as he moved inside her.
She dug her nails into his back, shouting, "Oh, fuck!"
Chuck struggled for breath at the intensity, but he didn't relent.
Instead, he increased the pace at which he fucked her, his touch on her breasts firmer than it had ever been.
"FUCK!" she cried out again in pleasure, still riding out her orgasm underneath him.
It took a long moment for her to restore composure, and once she did, they paused, both breathless.
They fought to regain even the slightest bit of normalcy to their breathing, locking eyes as their heads touched.
She ran her hand up to caress his face, then they kissed again.
When they stopped kissing, she whispered, "You know, I've taken your cum in every hole today except my butt."
"We don't have any lube," he said.
She drew more air into her lungs. "I know. But I've done it before with guys using natural vaginal lube, and you already know I'm soaking."
He raised a hand to caress her cheek. "I'm sure guys did that with you with no care for you, but I've no intentions of being like them. Baby, I never want to hurt you. We've not done anal before, and before then, you've been training in selection for nearly a year. So that's been at least a year since you did it last."
"It's been about two years," she admitted.
He nodded. "Then that's two years of no use, so it would almost be like your first time again. And with no lube… it's a no from me."
"I want to try," she said, her smile inviting.
He grimaced. "I'm sorry. Your safety is paramount over my pleasure, so I don't."
She took an extended moment in thought, then nodded.
"I'm sorry for disappointing," he said, his smile sincere.
Sarah's touch was gentle as she caressed his face, and her smile reflected her growing feelings for him. "You're not disappointing me. Sure, I want anal right now because I like it… But you look after me in ways nobody ever has, so please never apologise for that."
He smiled back. "You look after me too."
She continued her soft strokes of his face, then they moved back to share a tender kiss.
When the soft, arousing sound of their lips parting signalled the end of their latest kiss, Chuck suppressed a laugh and said, "Besides, I don't think I have any left, so it would be pointless."
"You'd better have some left because you're still inside me," she said as joy lit up her face.
Chuck grinned. "Yeah, there's no way I could have forgotten that."
He pulled back until he almost exited her, then thrust deep inside her again.
She couldn't help but gasp as he slid deep inside her, making her toes curl with pleasure.
Chuck found his rhythm again as his thrusts into her increased in pace.
The lovers were sweating profusely and gasping for breath, but their unrelenting desire to express their passion kept them going.
After a minute of continued lovemaking, Chuck said, "I don't think I can last much longer!"
She couldn't resist the urge to stroke his face again, feeling the familiar contours of his features. "It's okay," she breathed softly, her tone filled with her feelings for him and exhaustion. "I always let go when you do. You know that."
Chuck nodded, then rested his exhausted head against hers.
He carried out a final few thrusts until he felt himself losing control. "Sarah!" he cried.
She wrapped her arms and legs around him, crashing him into another kiss.
His cry of passion in calling her name helped her to bring along another orgasm, as did the feeling of his jerking body against hers, and his jerking sex embedded inside her.
She soon succumbed to another orgasm, joining him as they rode it together, joined at the hip.
After their climaxes passed, they broke from kissing, their faces flushed and their bodies slick with sweat.
Despite his exhaustion, he smiled at her.
She found it within herself, despite her equal fatigue, to smile back.
They remained static in recovery for a long moment, Chuck feeling unable to withdraw from her through fatigue because he'd put every ounce of energy into fulfilling her.
Once he could move, he pulled out from her and collapsed to her side.
The lovers drew in large intakes of air, looking up at the ceiling in both complete exhaustion and wonderment.
"I love the sex we have," she declared. "It's amazing."
He looked at her and grinned. "Not only are you the most beautiful girlfriend, you're the most passionate too."
When she met his glance, her eyes lit up, and a smile spread across her face.
Chuck moved in, wanting to share a soft peck with her.
She welcomed his arrival, and as they kissed, the bed and everything around them suddenly shook for around ten seconds.
Chuck and Sarah shared a narrowed glance.
"Was that an earthquake?" she asked.
He nodded. "Yeah, I think it was. I've felt one or two before, around the same intensity. Powerful enough to feel, but not really to do much damage. We should still check for damage, though."
She nodded.
Finding the strength within themselves to stand up, they gingerly made their way towards the door, feeling the lingering effects of their drinking and lovemaking.
They took a moment at the door, then Chuck opened it, their glance connecting onto Jamie, Cole and Sophie appearing in view.
The four teammates took in each other's naked forms, bursting into laughter as they did so.
Sophie, meanwhile, who was not used to seeing Cole's teammates naked, gasped and covered her mouth in surprise.
"Don't worry, Sophie, we're all used to seeing each other naked!" Jamie chortled.
Chuck and Sarah snorted at Jamie's comment because it was the truth.
But Cole pointed at Chuck and Jamie, then said, "But you're not used to seeing Sophie naked!"
"Call it payback for the times you've seen Sarah naked," Chuck said with a grin. "And besides, my eyes need only be on my beautiful girlfriend, so make sure you both do the same towards yours." he pointed at Jamie and Cole.
Cole chuckled at his best friend's remarks.
"Was that an earthquake?" Sophie asked.
Chuck and Sarah nodded.
"I knew we were all having a good time, same for the ones at John's place right now, but I didn't know we were enjoying ourselves that much!" Jamie laughed uproariously, barely able to get his joke out.
Everyone shared the laughter with him.
"Actually, we came out here because we heard screaming!" Cole joked with a rowdy chuckle.
The sight of Sarah's flushed face embarrassed Sophie so much that she impulsively slapped Cole's bare chest.
"It must have been a ghost you heard screaming, Cole, or maybe a foreshock," Chuck said.
"A GHOST!" Jamie roared, laughing his head off. "FUCKING HELL! Yeah, you're right, mate, it must have been one, or an aftershock!"
Everyone laughed with Jamie again, and then Cole chuckled boisterously, "We should all tone our activities down, otherwise we might cause another earthquake!"
The laughter intensified over Cole's remark, which they shared for a long moment as the group cancelled out the earthquake, each seeing no damage in their glances around.
"Goodnight then," Chuck said with a grin once their amusement calmed.
"Goodnight," everyone replied.
The couples turned back to enter their rooms.
Chuck closed the door after him and turned to face Sarah.
They shared an amused glance.
"And now for the last part of our activities, then sleep," Chuck said.
Sarah's eyes widened. "I don't think I have any more energy to partake as much as I'm still turned on."
He grinned and kissed her lips. "Don't worry. This is my treat and repayment, so long as you want it?"
She nodded without a second thought.
He held his loving gaze, taking hold of her shoulders as he backed her to the bed.
On arrival, he pushed her gently until she fell on the bed, landing on the exposed sheet with the covers pulled back from when they left the bed.
He moved to hover over her, then adjusted himself to kiss her.
After a moment, he broke from the kiss, lowering himself to kiss her aroused nipples.
Sarah's breathing deepened again at the contact.
Chuck kissed his way down from there until he arrived between her legs.
Sarah's breathing hitched with desire as his lips approached her most sensitive area.
He paused for a moment, looking up at his stunning lover laying flat out on the bed, her glance up at the ceiling.
Chuck returned his glance to between her legs, locking eyes on her perfect pussy lips.
He lowered himself further, positioning himself to lick at her clitoris.
The sensation of his tongue on her clitoris was so intense that Sarah's breath caught in her throat before she let out a loud moan of pleasure.
He continued working his magic in pleasuring her in the select spot for a moment, then lowered himself further, tasting the sweetness of her pussy juice.
Sarah's breathing continued to become more erratic as she started clutching at the bed sheets because of what he was doing to her with his tongue.
When he moved two fingers to accompany his tongue and enter inside her, she gripped the covers beneath her more tightly.
He continued his two-pronged attack in pleasuring her while she could only continue to repeat her actions, feeling the immense pleasure of what he was doing.
"Oh, Chuck, don't stop!" she pleaded, finding it difficult to use her eyes because of the intense pleasure he was giving her.
Chuck had no intention of stopping. Instead, he only increased the intensity as he ate her out for a long moment.
"Oh god!" Sarah moaned, clutching tighter hold of the linen as her toes squirmed.
Chuck returned his tongue to her clitoris, his fingers moving inside her in intense motion as he worked to help her achieve another orgasm.
The out-of-this-world sensations of her lover's tongue and his fingers pleasuring her had her squirming all over the bed, aided massively by how immensely attracted she was to the guy sexually fulfilling her.
"Please, don't stop, baby!" she cried out to him.
Sarah's skin flushed as she felt the orgasm approaching.
The sexual activities Chuck was performing on her caused her body to be covered in a sheen of sweat again.
Chuck increased his actions further, which caused additional flushing of her skin and intense pleasure as she felt the orgasm arrive.
"OH FUCK!" she cried out, letting go of all inhibitions, knowing it was a big one!
Suddenly, she gushed as she ejaculated over Chuck's face.
Chuck jolted as soon as Sarah squirted because he'd never experienced it before.
However, he recovered from the startle, almost as soon as it happened.
He lapped up as much of the juices leaving her vagina into his mouth as possible until her orgasm passed.
Sarah held onto the sheets for dear life as she basked in the afterglow of her intense orgasm at the touch of her boyfriend.
Once Chuck knew she was back to normal because she'd stopped jolting and discharging liquid, he raised his face to look at her.
She met his glance.
"I told you I knew you were gonna taste great," he said with a grin.
Sarah held a flustered look at him, panting for breath from the intense activity and pleasure she'd received.
"Well, I think that's us done for the night," he said, holding his loving gaze.
Sarah fought for breath, then said, "Good because I need to recover," a smile of happiness soon lit up her face.
He suppressed laughter. "That's the first time a girl has squirted with me."
Her face flushed with immediate embarrassment. "Sorry."
"Don't be," he said with a grin straight from his heart. "It was amazing. You're amazing."
She smiled back.
Chuck moved back towards her as they shared their last kiss of the night.
"You're amazing too. Let's go to sleep," she whispered exhausted against his lips, caressing his face.
He nodded, then moved to a position behind her.
As soon as he was in place, she backed her body into his.
He wrapped his arm around her.
"Goodnight, baby," he breathed softly.
Sarah backed her hips into him. "Goodnight, beautiful."
