College

College. The word and the life that accompanied it loomed over-head like a storm cloud. Anna Nicholas sat outside her bedroom window, pondering over her life at the end of the summer.

A deep indigo sky, full of bright, twinkling stars. Maybe that was what she would miss most. Maybe it would be the smell of early morning dew on grass… or maybe it would be the sound of rain pitter-pattering down on the roof.

She wasn’t sure which she would miss most, but she knew that she would certainly miss these quiet nights. Sitting on the crest of a hill, gazing down at an empty field… gazing up at the star-filled sky. Wondering at the beauty of the natural world… wondering at how everything could seem a million miles away when she was simply gazing at these things.

Anna sighed and lay down on her back, her eyes searching the sky for some sort of sign that everything really would be okay. She didn’t find any though… no; there were no signs in the sky that her life would be fine. Although, there were no signs that it wouldn't either.

She wondered if, after it was all said and done, she would be able to look at things in the same way. She wondered if she would see the sky differently… if she would smell early morning dew differently… or hear the pitter-patter of rain pouring on the roof differently.

“I don’t want anything to change,” she thought out loud, gritting her teeth and glaring up at the sky.

Change was another word that frightened her. She didn't want anything to change. Not her friendships, or her family. Nothing. Not even her and her boyfriend, Tommy. No, especially not her and her boyfriend Tommy. They'd both applied for the same uni, but, knowing this year, one would get accepted and leave the other behind. Maybe that would be for the best though. Tommy really hadn't been the best he had ever been lately...

Breaking up with Tommy though, that would leave her alone. And change everything.

She jumped slightly as there was a rather loud hooting of an owl in a tree near her. Her heart quickly sped up as she sat up looking around wildly for whatever had disturbed the owl. With her mouth thinned, Anna rolled over onto her stomach and squinted her eyes.

“Stupid owl,” she heard a male voice mutter. The figure came into view and walked to where Anna was lying, concealed by the darkness.

“Who are you?” she whispered furiously, wrapping her arms around his neck and torso like she'd been taught. Hopefully, they weren't full of shit and this would actually work.

After struggling with words for a moment he replied, “I could ask you the same question.”

“Answer me,” Anna hissed, her eyes narrowing, though she doubted he could see in the dark.

“I could take you down right now,” he murmured warningly.

“I won’t ask you again,” she whispered.

The man sighed softly, “I’m sorry,” and quickly twisted his body in her arms, knocking her left hand away from his body and moving one hand to hold that wrist away from him. Her other arm was still wrapped around his neck, and they found their faces less than an inch apart.

Anna's eyes widened with shock as she recognized his emerald green ones, “Jeremy?” Jeremy, Tommy's best friend, blinked down at her, surprised.

“Anna!” he exclaimed, springing back from her immediately and letting go of her wrist. “Oh Anna, I’m so sorry –”

“No, don’t worry,” she said, sighing softly in relief, “It was my fault too.”

“I didn’t hurt you, did I?” he asked, looking terribly worried.

Anna smiled and shook her head, “No, but I am glad that we’re friends.”

“I’m really sorry Anna. Did you want to be left alone?”

She shook her head again, “I suppose some company would be welcome,” she said, smiling at him.

He smiled back and they moved to sit back down on the crest of the hill. “Why are you up so late?” he asked softly.

“I’ve not been sleeping very well lately,” she replied, sighing softly and gazing up at the sky again. “You?”

“I just needed to get away from that house. I mean, I love Tommy's family, but I’m a little afraid Courtney might try to break into my room.” He said this with a smile clearly evident in his voice and Anna laughed softly,

“Still bugging you about getting back together?”

Jeremy nodded, “She thinks I just don’t want her hurt.”

“Well, you don’t.”

“I know, but I also… I don’t really want to be with her.”

“Ah,” Anna said, silently jumping for joy. “Have you told her this?”

“Yeah, but I think it went in one ear and out the other.”

Anna nodded, “Alright.”

There was a small pause before Jeremy asked, “What about you and Tom? How’s that going?”

She laughed softly, “That was a lost cause to begin with, Jeremy.”

He smiled and turned his head to look at her, “What was wrong with it?”

“Oh you know; everything. We just don’t get along, he eats far too much, and when he kisses me it was like he was depositing all of his saliva into my mouth,” she shuddered, “Disgusting.”

Jeremy couldn’t help but laugh again and he slid an arm around her shoulders to pull her close, “Poor Anna.”

She smiled and laid her head on his shoulder, “Yes, poor Anna.”

“So why are you having trouble sleeping?” he asked softly, letting his arm drop to rest on her hip and pulling her a little closer. She obliged him, sliding her own arm around his waist.

“My brain is too awake. Even if I’m totally exhausted I can’t turn it off,” she said, sighing softly and closing her eyes. “Besides, I prefer gazing up at the sky to gazing up at the ceiling.”

“What were you thinking about before I came out here?”

“How much I don’t want anything to change,” she replied quietly.

“Some change can be good,” he insisted gently, “What if I won that scholarship?”

“And what if you lost it?” she asked, lifting her head off his shoulder to look directly into his eyes.

He sighed, “Anna, we’ve been through this –”

“I know we have,” she snapped softly, taking her arm from his waist and shifting her body a little away from him.

“If I could, I’d stay here, in this little one-horse town,” he said kindly, his body automatically following hers, “I’d stay here forever and our kids could play together and all that crap… but I can’t. I can't stay here when there's nothing for me.”

“I know, I know,” she said, sighing heavily and giving in to his touch, moving closer to him again. “I’m just expressing irritation.”

“Come here,” he said, pulling her so she was sitting on his lap. They wrapped their arms around each other and Jeremy buried his face into her neck. “Can we be happy for the moment?” he asked, his face still at her neck, and his hot breath beginning to make Anna’s hormones surface.

“Uh… yes,” she said slowly, biting her bottom lip hard and trying very hard to keep the images in her head from influencing her to do anything she would probably regret later.

“Good,” he murmured, pressing his cheek against the side of her neck, and secretly marveling at how soft her skin was. “You smell nice,” he said, breathing her scent in deeply, and turning his head so his nose was on her neck.

“Thanks,” she mumbled, closing her eyes and, against all her better judgment, swaying slightly closer towards him, so his lips were almost pressed upon her skin.

“Mmm,” Jeremy murmured, closing his eyes too and allowing his lips to touch her. He pouted them slightly in an immediate response, and felt her throat vibrate softly as she made a strangled groan in the back of her throat.

Anna frowned furiously, trying very hard to not make anymore noise, chewing down on her bottom lip. But she felt him part his lips and poke his tongue through to touch her skin, making her squeak softly. “Jeremy,” she whispered, groaning softly again as he grazed his teeth across her skin, his tongue massaging where he’d bit her.

“Mmm?” he murmured again, not stopping what he was doing.

“We… we shouldn’t,” she mumbled before opening her mouth in a silent moan as he bit her again, sucking in on her skin.

He moved back from her neck and her stomach dropped as the contact was lost. “You’re right,” he muttered, frowning, his eyes closed. “I’m sorry Annie.”

“It’s okay,” she replied, a little breathlessly, breathing hard through her nose.

Silence.

“That shouldn’t have happened,” she whispered, turning her head to face him and staring straight into his eyes.

“I know,” he replied softly, inching closer and bumping her nose with his.

“This shouldn’t happen,” she whispered, knowing their lips were less than a centimeter from each other.

“I know,” he repeated, making contact with her lips finally, softly and tenderly. It wasn’t a terribly long kiss, and it was certainly not long enough for Anna.

When it ended she whispered desperately, “Why are you doing this to me?”

“What?” he asked, frowning.

“Stop teasing me,” she murmured huskily, moving forward to kiss him again, opening her mouth to suck at his bottom lip, and slipping her arms around his neck, sliding one hand up the back of his head to tangle her fingers through his hair.

He felt her shift her body around so she was facing him, her thighs resting either side of his, pulling him closer so that she was pressing herself down into his hips. He slipped his arms around her body to her ass, where he pulled her closer, rubbing his hips up to hers.

“Mmm wait,” Anna murmured, breaking the kiss, but still rubbing her hips down into his slowly, in a clockwise rotation.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, looking up at her, his eyes looking slightly glazed over.

“What about Courtney?” she asked, chewing on her bottom lip.

“What about Thomas?” he asked, raising an eyebrow at her and the glazed look disappearing.

“I don’t like him.”

“Well, I don’t like Court. What’s the problem?”

Anna paused. “I suppose there is no problem.”

“Don’t you want to do this?” he asked, looking apprehensive.

A small grin spread across Anna’s face and she leaned down to kiss his lips tenderly, “Of course I want to do this,” she whispered to his lips, kissing him again. “I just wasn’t sure about you…”

“Well, be sure,” he replied, kissing her back softly. He pulled back for a moment, removed his glasses and then moved back to kissing her again, making Anna laugh softly in the back of her throat.

The rotation of their hips on one another sped up slightly as their kisses deepened, and Anna felt Jeremy’s hands inch under her shirt, around to her front. She pulled back from his kisses and ripped her shirt apart, her buttons flying into the grass.

Jeremy's eyes widened slightly, “Are you sure?”

“I’ve always been sure,” she murmured, her hands going to cup his cheeks and kiss him again, “I want to experience everything I can before I die Jeremy… I want to experience true love and pleasure… I know you can give that to me.”

“It’s not like I’m an expert,” he mumbled, his eyes dropping from hers.

She laughed softly, and her hands moved to his shirt, tugging it up and over his head. “And you think I am? I've only ever been with Tommy, and we all know how much of a pussy he is!" she whispered, leaning forward to kiss him again.

There was another long moment of silence, in which Anna had almost completely lost her resolve. "You... You know what, Jerm? Never mind... It doesn't --"

“Shh…” he said pressing his finger on her lips, silencing her. “Don’t talk, just feel…” he whispered.

That was all she needed. Screw resolve.

She blocked out every voice in her head that told her she shouldn’t be doing this and grabbed hold of Jeremy’s shirt collar and pulled him flush against her, kissing him hard on the lips. She felt him smile against her lips before he started to kiss her back. He grazed his tongue along her bottom lip, requesting entrance and she opened her mouth pressing into him. He tasted her slowly, deepening and receding, sliding his tongue against hers, exploring her mouth. The feel of her set him on fire, his erection aching with the rapid growth, eliciting a groan from deep within his chest. He pulled her closer against him and felt her trembling as her arms tightened around him. She tilted her head slightly, deepening the kiss and pressing her breasts against his chest. She was vibrating with yearning, the hard throb between her legs caused her thighs to tighten.

Jeremy moved his hand down to her legs and slid up her skirt, stopping just by the hem of her panties. Anna’s heartbeat increased considerably as his fingers started to find their way into her cotton panties, where they nestled at the dark patch of hair at her opening. She moaned lustfully into his mouth as he sunk two fingers between her slick folds. Her hips bucked against his hand as his thumb moved over her clit in slow, hard circles while his fingers thrust in and out of her, creating a delicious rhythm. Then, Jeremy’s fingers paused before he started to wriggle them inside her.

Anna reluctantly broke the kiss and threw her head back against the bookshelf, letting out a long moan. “Jeremy…” she panted. “Jeremy please, please I need you inside me…”

Jeremy looked at her. She was out of breath and her cheeks were flushed. He almost gasped at the look in her eyes as he’d never seen her carry it before. Her bright blue eyes were filled with dark pools of lust into which he wanted to desperately disappear.

Not wanting to deny her any longer, he nodded and slid his fingers out of her. He met her eyes with a smirk, so he was sure she watching and brought the digits to his mouth and sucked them clean.

She bit her lip; she loved that, as gross and vile as it was…

Anna pulled him against her and kissed him again, slipping her tongue into his mouth and tasting herself there, along with a strange lingering taste of apple juice. Wasting no more time, she reached down and unbuckled his belt. Jeremy broke the kiss reluctantly and hissed as his zipper ran down his aching erection. They shared a small smile before locking lips again. His hands reached up her skirt and slid down her panties in haste, throwing them to the grass.

Her fingers crept into his boxers and wrapped her fingers around him, pulling him out. Jeremy, pausing for a minute, groped around for his jeans and fumbled around with the pockets before pulling out a condom and then hastily kissed her again. He helped her up so her back rested against the grass and wrapped her legs around his waist, opening the wrapper and rolling on the condom.

Hard and ready, she guided him into her entrance. With urgency he eased himself in, a long groan escaping him at the snug fit. She bit onto his lip as he let him sink in as far as he could go, nestling herself between his warm body and the ground below her. Jeremy kept himself still for a moment, relishing the warmth and wetness that surrounded him. Then he braced himself, cupping her butt in his hands, slid down and then back up with a slow, hard thrust.

Anna moaned into his mouth and grabbed a handful of his hair in her fist, arching her body into his. His thrusts increased and he brought his hand between their bodies. She broke the kiss and gasped as his fingers found her clit. Once, twice, making her bite onto her lip tightly so she wouldn’t moan out loud.

Jeremy noticing her struggle, smiled and reached up to peck her lips. “It’s okay Ann…you can be as loud as you want. There’s no one here but you and me…” he told her in a low voice. Then she exhaled a long, loud moan she had been keeping in her. Jeremy pressed his mouth to her ear and started to moan softly, propelling his length inside her, the friction almost too much for her to handle.

Surrendering to the sweetness that was wracking Anna’s body from his delicious assault, her moans exhaled in short high breaths, like oxygen was just out of reach. “Oohh…yes-oh…Jer-emy don’t stop baby please…” Anna moaned as Jeremy started to plunge harder and faster into her, her shifting body tearing out blades of grass from underneath her. She could tell he was close. Her own orgasm started to build up inside her so she clung to his body desperately and bucked her hips to meet his thrusts. She craved his touch and begged for more. Jeremy’s fingers found her clit once more and fingered it in fast circles.

“Fuck!” Anna yelled in a lust-filled manner and clamped her legs tighter around his waist as she contracted around him. This triggered Jeremy’s orgasm as well and he thrust up into her one final time, groaning her name as he came into the wrapper.

They were both panting and damp with sweat. Anna leaned over run her tongue along his neck, licking off the sweat that had formed. When she pulled back, she sighed contentedly and he tried to catch his breath, the weight of his body on her oddly comforting. He was still embedded inside her, which she seemed to enjoy even more. Desire started to stir inside her once again and she stroked his erection back to life with her inner walls.

“Mmm Anna…” Jeremy murmured at her. He lifted his gaze to her face and gave her a look at said ‘Again?’, but he smiled broadly. He leaned towards her and kissed her deeply, tasting her again. He gripped her ass in his hands tightly, and began to re-establish a rhythm between them.

Anna licked her lips as she looked down at his toned muscles. Soccer served him well for the past four years, she thought as she placed her palms on his chest, running them down the front of him. On the way back up her fingers traced the lines of his muscles and then she bent forward, her mouth on him, kissing, open, her tongue running across him, circling his nipple, licking over the top of it and suddenly biting into the solid flesh. She was engrossed in him, moving over him nipping, kissing, sucking the flesh as she went, dragging her teeth across his nipples, moving up to his neck and biting into his shoulder. Her hands were lightly raking up and down his shoulders and arms. He was groaning a low steady rumble from his chest; she loved the sensation of the sound underneath her mouth, the taste and scent of him driving her from one spot to the next.

He had never had a girl attend to him like this; it was driving him crazy: the feel of her against him, hungry to taste him, moving so sensuously over him. He had to concentrate to maintain his control. When she moved back to his neck he pulled her back into him, a small breath rushing from her as he moved to her lips, kissing her aggressively now, moving his tongue in and out of her mouth, touching hers and withdrawing over and over until she felt dizzy.

His hands came around her sides and up, cupping both breasts, letting the weight of them rest in his palms as his fingers moved over and around the nipples. He smiled as his fingers grasped the nipples firmly. She arched back against him, her head against his shoulder, her breasts out, moaning.

He dropped his hand back to her waist, shoving into her harshly. She groaned, and he smiled at her. He took her hand and pressed a kiss to each of her fingertips before moving up to kiss her hand and up her arm. He stopped midway and moved to her breasts, capturing her nipple in his mouth. Anna purred and ran her hands through his ear contentedly. He sucked hard at the tiny nub as his other hand rolled her left nipple between his fingers. He switched sides after a few moments and turned his attention to her left breast, swirling his tongue around her nipple deliciously. When he nipped at her slightly, she gasped and let out a soft moan.

She pulled away from his lips “Come on…fuck me Jeremy…” she breathed.

Just then something inside him snapped. Anna had a moment to gasp in surprise before his mouth swept down on her again, needy and demanding. Soon he began thrusting, faster, and harder, his eyes closed and eyebrows folded.

“Mmm…Anna…ooh, you feel so…fucking good,” Jeremy moaned into her ear, his breath hitting her skin, sending deep shivers through her spine.

She just managed to moan in response and she wrapped her legs around his hips, her heal pressing against his ass to pull him deeper. She dragged her nails achingly down his neck and across his back as he pounded into her, the slap of skin against skin mingling with their groans and gasps.

“Jeremy! Oh god…” she gasped. His left hand grazed up her spine and back to tangle into her hair as she exploded around him, screaming his name. He felt a tingle in his sac and he knew he was also getting close. He stilled her hips on his as she throbbed around him, clenching his jaw in an effort to gain control.

“Aaahhhh!” Anna bellowed as her world disintegrated for the third time that night. And when he couldn’t hold it any longer, he let go too and exploded within her, filling her with burning heat. He groaned as she screamed and milked him in her own release, thrusting once more before collapsing on her.

His head rested against her chest, panting breathlessly while his hand rested on either side of her on the desk as he could no longer support his own weight. Anna’s chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath as well. She tangled her hands into Jeremy’s wet hair and held him close to her chest, where he listened to her fluttering heartbeat.

Anna frowned slightly as he pulled out of her. She struggled with things in her mind for a moment before she shrugged it off and looked over at her clothes lying off to the side, and Jeremy's off to the other. As she sighed and asked herself how many rounds one fucking rubber could live through, she fell asleep.
