Chapter 7

The cabin had a single bedroom with a metal frame bed but no mattress. There was an old painting of what the cabin originally looked like when it was first built. The room also had an ancient chest of drawers which had a hole on the side and was missing the drawers handles.

The bathroom was a metal bath with a toilet. A cracked mirror hung against the wall, and I remembered JB broke my accident when he shot me with his slingshot. The cabin used to have running water, but now the pipes were dry.

The lounge/dining area and kitchen were all one room. There was a small wooden table with a broken chair. Then another painting of a car that I hung up. JB also painted a tree on the wall, which was pretty well done. The kitchen had a few cabinets with an odd plate or cup in them. There wasn’t much, but the cabin was like a dream home for two young boys.

While we were in the lounge area, I removed a loose floorboard. This was our secret stash spot in case someone broke into the cabin. There were blankets, candles and stuff to start a fire in the fireplace. I just had to collect some wood from outside. Luckily, I stuck a machete under the floorboard as well.

“I can see why this is your favourite place,” Kiara stated. “You can go collect some wood while I make the place a bit more comfortable.”

“Okay. I’ll be back soon.” I nodded and was about to walk off when I looked back at her.

“What?” She asked and tucked her hair behind her ear. She was so gorgeous. It was like my mind refused to accept that I was here with her. I, Jason, a nobody that disobeys the law like I deserve a free pass for growing up poor.

Kiara… she was intelligent, exotic and hard working. She was… perfect. How was I this lucky to be alone with her right now?

“You take my breath away,” I said and walked over to her. With one hand wrapped around her waist, I pulled her closer to me. Our lips found their way to each other, and I gave her a passionate kiss.

She felt so warm pressed against my body. I wanted to stay inside and cuddle, but the cold breeze that blew in from the open door reminded me to get wood. Kiara giggled as I pulled away and lightly tapped her ass. With a wink, I quickly walked off and collected some wood.

Kiara had laid out some blankets on the floor and lit candles as the sky started to grow dark. She smiled at me as I walked back inside and showed off her efforts. Her eyes lit up, and I smiled at her. It was like she was happy that I accepted the way she made the place comfortable.

“Brrr, it’s chilly.” I laughed and started the fire. I placed the door back in its frame to block out the cold air, and soon the old cabin warmed up.

Kiara placed a blanket over both of us as I sat down next to her. For weeks, all I wanted to do was speak to her. But now… it seemed like my mind hit a blank.

“I’m sorry about your Dad. When did he pass?” Kiara asked innocently and placed her hand on my leg to comfort me in case it was a sensitive topic.

“It’s okay. He passed in my last year of high school. He was diagnosed with cancer about 2 years earlier, so it didn’t come as a shock. JB and I tried to prepare ourselves, but it still hurt when he did pass.” I shrugged. I wanted to be open and honest with Kiara from the start. So, I pushed past the pain from that memory and felt safe enough to share it with her.

“He was your Dad. It’s normal to have hurt. What about your mommy?” Kiara said.

I smiled at the way she said, mommy.

“You’re so cute when you say that. Mommy.” I laughed. “I never knew my mom; she passed away before I was born,” I added to answer her question. “What about your parents?”

“My mom and Dad divorced when I started primary school. So, I was constantly travelling between homes. My mom eventually remarried and moved overseas. She left my Dad alone to take care of me. He didn’t find another woman and grew into a bitter old man. I swear I’m the only one who can make him smile.” Kiara responded.

“Are you and your mom still in contact?”

“Nope. I haven’t spoken to her for years. She doesn’t even try to reach out to me, so I’m not even bothered.”

“I’m sorry. What about siblings? Do you have any?”

“I’m an only child. Is it just you and your brother or…?”

“Yeah, just JB and I.” I nodded. “When we first, er, met… you said something about an ex. Did the ‘no dating’ rule happen because of him?”

I instantly rejected asking the question as Kiara frowned. It was perhaps a bit too personal. She crossed her arms across her chest and glared at me.

“Why do all men assume that the way I live my life is because of them?” She snapped. “Can’t I just be happy on my own? Why do I need a reason to stay single?”

“I’m sorry, Kiara. I didn’t mean to offend you.”

“Yeah, well, you did. Being with someone else is just so much unnecessary stress. At any second, that person could do something to hurt me. I don’t want to live my life like that. I’m happy by myself, okay. Now let’s just drop the subject.” She muttered, and we fell into an awkward silence. The fire cracked as it burned in the fireplace.

I could hear the soft running water of the river in the distance and an owl that flew past the trees outside of the cabin. My brain was debating on what I should say or how to make Kiara feel better. After a few minutes, I opened my mouth.

“I wish I could be happy alone,” I stated, and Kiara looked at me. “You’re happy with yourself and who you are. That’s amazing. Usually, everyone is their own worst enemy, and you somehow found a way to accept that. I find it admirable.”

“Why don’t you like who you are?” Kiara questioned and moved her arms from her chest. She seemed to be in a better mood, at least.

“Well, for one… I’m a criminal. I steal for a living and run from the cops. You can’t get lower than that. Plus, look at me. I’m awkwardly tall, have no real purpose in life and am pinning over someone that is way out of my league.” I shrugged. I wasn’t trying to sound depressing but just being honest.

“Don’t talk like that, Jason. I’m sure you have great qualities as well. You’re a good driver. You’re kind and really good at sex.” Kiara remarked, which made me laugh.

“Thanks, I guess.” I smiled, and she touched the side of my face.

“I hope you learn how to be happy by yourself.” She stated and stared into my eyes. For a moment, I found myself lost in her deep brown eyes as she just stared at each other silently. It only lasted a few seconds, but to me, it felt mesmerizing.

I leaned in closer to Kiara and rested my forehead against hers.

“Maybe you can show me how to be happy,” I whispered before I pressed my lips against hers. Kiara’s fingers curled around my neck. Her fingertips were cold, but her mouth was hot against mine. She moved and sat on top of me with her pussy pressed against my dick as we kissed.

That amazing scent of coconut drifted from her skin, and I moved my lips down to kiss her neck. My hand caressed over her back and grabbed her ass cheeks. Her hips started moving, which made her grind against me. Her mouth tasted sweet and like soft peppermint. Being with her reminded me of the first night we spent together.

“I’m really wet,” Kiara mumbled in my ear. “I can feel how hard you are. I want your throbbed dick to be inside of me.”

“Fuck, Kiara. You are so fucking sexy.” I groaned and tugged her shirt off and over her head. She had on a sexy red lace bra that cupped her breasts firmly.

“Get undressed but keep the bra on,” I ordered in her ear, and she quickly climbed off of me. I also got undressed while she obeyed. I pulled her back towards me and claimed her mouth with mine. We made our way back down onto the blanket.

“I want to get on top,” Kiara stated and shoved me to lay down. Her wet pussy rubbed against my hard dick as she quickly dug in her bag and pulled out a condom.

“Do you just carry those around?” I laughed as she squeezed my dick with her hands.

“Obviously. Better safe than sorry.” Kiara smirked and tore open the condom wrapper. She then proceeded to put it on and knew exactly what she was doing. I got to lay back and relax.

“Your so fucking bad, baby.” Kiara groaned and leaned down to kiss me. She bit onto my bottom lip and pulled it into her mouth, which made me want more. I smacked her ass as she kissed me and twirled her tongue around my tongue. She even sucked on my tongue, which was slightly painful but sexy as fuck.

“Have you been bad, Jason?” Kiara asked as she pulled away and positioned her hips. I caught on that she was into some sort of role-playing, which I found hot.

“Real bad. Are you going to punish me, Kiara?” I huskily replied and squeezed her breasts.

“Yes.” She stated as her hips thrust forward, and I slid inside of her. We both moaned as she did so and then started moving, so I went completely out and then back in. Her pussy was tight around my dick as I slid in and out of her.

Kiara moved my hand to her neck while her hips moved magically on top of me. She stared at me as I moaned while she fucked me and smiled. It felt so good to be inside of her. I thrust my hips up and tried to fuck her faster.

“Yes, baby. Keep doing that. It feels so good.” Kiara mumbled and moved her hand down her body. Her finger rubbed her clit while I fucked her pussy. Her sexy moans and deep breaths filled her air.

“Come for me, love,” I begged Kiara as her mouth flew open. Her body trembled as her vagina walls clenched. As she orgasmed, warm moisture flowed down my shaft and made me grip onto her ass. I cumed as Kiara rammed her hips hard against me.

“Fuck, love.” I groaned, and she burst into giggles as she moved her hips, so my dick slid out. Kiara sat on my legs as I sat up and took off the condom, which was full of white cum. She tied a knot in it and then handed it back to me.

“Thanks.” I smiled and kissed her before tossing the condom aside and pulling her naked body closer to me so that we could cuddle. I also covered us with a blanket and made sure she was tucked warmly in my arms.

“You are so beautiful,” I mumbled and placed a kiss on her forehead.

“Thank you, handsome. Did you enjoy yourself?” Kiara asked and nuzzled her face closer to my neck.

“Yes, fuck yes.” I nodded and squeezed her ass.

“I like you.” Kiara softly said that I almost didn’t hear her.

“I like you too,” I replied, and her cheeks shot red. She placed a kiss on my chest and wrapped her arms around me.

“Can I be honest?” She suddenly asked and lifted her chin to look up at me.

“Of course.”

“When you are near me, I feel… safe. I don’t know why.”

“That’s good, love. I swear I have no bad intentions when it comes to you.”

“Maybe I do trust you a tiny bit.” Kiara smiled and shrugged her shoulders. Her warm body was so close to mine, and she looked gorgeous with her messy silver hair sprawled out on my arm.

“Are you busy tomorrow?” Kiara suddenly asked, and I shook my head. “Good. My Dad’s having a Sunday luncheon, and I know he wants me to invite a plus one. Would you like to join me?”

“You want me to meet your Dad?” I asked, shocked and stared at her.

“I guess so, but only as a friend.” She firmly stated.

“I would love to be your plus one.” I smiled and placed a quick kiss against her lips.
