shower, kill two birds with one
stone.” She threw one of her cocky grins over her shoulder at me. She screamed
and ran when I jumped up off the couch with a growl. “You don’t have to tell me
twice.”

 
    MELISSA

 
    The place was swarming
with people by the time we arrived. I stayed close to Caleb because there were
a lot of unknowns here. We made our way over to the table where Jen and Spanks
and some of the others were already seated. Thank heavens no one asked any
embarrassing questions especially since the captain had gone all caveman and
left a huge mark on my neck that showed. At least they couldn’t see the one
above my nipple though the dress was cut a little low. We’d had a bit of an
argument about that but since I didn’t have anything else to wear he’d given
in, but barely. I wasn’t sure I was out of the water completely though because
his jaw was still a tight.
    He got caught up with
some of his friends with army talk while I whispered with the girls. Or more to
the point they were whispering to me. I guess they’d saved the embarrassing
questions for my ears only. “So Mel, you guys try anal yet?” I looked around to
make sure no one was listening and just at that moment Caleb turned those
piercing eyes on me. I wasn’t sure if he’d somehow overheard which would be
damn near impossible or if this was just his usual way. He always seemed to
sense when I was looking at him. He turned back to his conversation so I guess
we were safe. “Jen we can’t talk about that here.” I pointed around the room at
all the dignified looking people in their eveningwear. She just shrugged her
shoulders and carried on. “No we haven’t okay…I’m not sure, I’m not completely
against it but.”
    “But nothing there’s
nothing to be afraid of just make sure back there is…you know and go for it.
Trust me it’s the best thing you’ll ever do.” I could’ve said something like
there’s no way the captain’s monster dick was fitting into my ass but that
would’ve been too crass. Though I’ve become more and more bold lately I wasn’t
ready for the big leagues. I was still getting used to the idea that this was
all real and not some joke of which I was the brunt. I showed off my new watch
and enjoyed the looks of envy from the others just to change the subject.
    The others eventually
got up to mill around and do their own thing while Caleb went to get us
something to drink. I noticed some girls at the next table checking him out and
whispering to each other. I felt that slight ping that was always there no
matter how hard I tried. They were so much more his type than I was. They were
thin and beautiful and everything that I wasn’t. I’m always waiting for the day
he wakes up and realizes that he can do so much better. That easily the evening
was ruined and I tried to hide it when he came back to the table with two
flutes of champagne. I tried fixing myself up a bit but who am I kidding? I’ll
never be able to compete.
    "Stop doing that shit babe." I jumped
at the sound of his voice; I'd been lost in thought there for a minute.
"Doing what?"
    "Comparing
yourself to other women; why do females do that shit anyway? I'm here with you
right."
    I
squirmed in my chair a little; didn't the man miss anything? Must come from
being in the army.
    "Yeah you are but they're all checking you
out." Which made me want to scratch their eyes out.
    "The fuck you care?
I see dudes checking you out, all it means is that I’ve got kick ass
taste." He's so sweet, especially since he pulled me roughly into his chest
and kissed me right there at our table where the anorexic twins next to us
could see.
    The lights had nothing on the high beam of my
smile when he was through. I looked over in time to catch their looks of
disbelief. That's right heifers eat your hearts out.
    "Forget them babe, what's up with this anal
thing you and your girls were yakking about?" He smirked at me as I almost
choked on my sip of
