Chapter 3.

The sounds of explosions and gunfire can be heard around us as I ran towards Bravo unit, all of us taking cover with whatever we could find to shield ourselves.

"INCOMING... MILLER GET DOWN!"

"SERGEANT, WE HAVE TO GET THEM OFF US!" He screamed as a shot rang out.

///

"NO... MILLER!" I shouted and jerked out of bed, my body breathing heavily, sweating, shaking.

"Hey, what's the matter? Nate, talk to me, are you ok?" I heard Candace ask as she turned me to look at her, a look of concern on her face. She looked as though she had been awake for a while.

I was having the dream again. Replaying everything that went wrong, everything I couldn't do to save my friend.

"I'll be ok, just give me a minute. Every once in a while, I have this dream... Flashbacks of the attack. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." I replied as I wrapped my arms around her.

"You wanna talk about it?" she asked as she snuggled in closer to me.

I sat up on the bed, holding her hand in mine, staring into her eyes, a look of sadness and worry in them.

"I got them killed. It's my fault..." I somberly trailed off.

"No, you didn't. You didn't get those men killed, Nathan. You can't blame yourself." Candace cut me off, almost seeming to break into tears.

"It was my operation; I was in charge. I gave the orders for those men. I've known men that have died in duty, but until then it was never men that I commanded, that I was supposed to protect, that I was in charge of bringing them home. I couldn't bring them home Candace... I couldn't... I tried..." I trailed off, emotions starting to take over me as I thought back on what took place.

"Nathan, they followed their orders, just as you did. The other men in your unit that you did bring home might have a different opinion on your actions." She replied as she raised up and kissed me on the cheek.

"I hadn't spoken about it much since it happened. I guess I just let the guilt of making it out of there when my fellow marines didn't get to me. I thought I was over it, but once in a while the dreams seem to trigger it again. I'm sorry."

"It's ok Nathan. Whatever it is, whatever you need, I'll be here for you." Candace replied leaning back into my shoulder.

I reached up and ran my fingers through her hair and slowly wrapped her into a hug. We sat like this for a few more moments when nature took over and I needed to get up. As I rose from the bed, I watched as she scooted over and slid into the spot where I was laying.

"So warm..." she sighed and snuggled back into the covers.

A little smile formed and I just looked at her lying in the bed.

"I'm going to go grab a shower."

"Mmkay." I heard her reply as she sunk deeper into my spot.

I walked into the bathroom, relieved myself, washed, and turned on the shower. I hadn't bothered to get dressed after the events of last night, so when the water was the right temperature, I stepped into the shower and stood for a minute, the heat relaxing my body, yet waking me up at the same time. After a minute or two of letting the water run over me, I heard the bathroom door open.

"I thought I'd come keep you company." Candace said as she entered the room and reached for the curtain, slowly opening it and stepping inside.

The shower was definitely smaller than the one in her house, but it allowed her to be pressed against me and the feeling of her body against mine under the running water made the shower much more enjoyable. I leaned over and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her lips to mine. She returned my kiss and I felt her mouth part and her tongue instantly sought out mine. Running my hands up her back, hugging her tightly, I held on to her as our kiss went on, the water cascading over us.

After a minute or two of our lustful kisses, I slowly turned her around, pressing her against the shower wall. I grabbed both of her hands and raised them above her head, holding them together with one arm. I kissed the back of her neck, allowing my free hand to roam all over her back before bringing it around to her front. I leaned in as my hand snaked its way upwards towards her left breast, grabbing it and caressing it in my hand and gently nibbled on her ear.

"Stay just like that." I whispered.

I took both hands and placed them at her shoulders, running them down her sides and up towards her breasts. As I grabbed them in my hands, I felt her body shake and a moan escaped her lips.

"Mmmmm, that feels nice."

Continuing my efforts, I left one hand cupping her breasts, the other making its way down her stomach, trailing towards her waiting sex. She pressed further against the wall as I lightly brushed across her, but only to tease. I returned my efforts to her breasts and brought my lips to the back of her neck. As I made contact, I heard her moan as I kissed my way down her neck and shoulders. My hands trailed down her sides as I kissed my way down her back.

"Spread your legs for me." I said to her is a quieted tone.

She moaned with approval and shifted her stance, spreading her legs for me, arching her back a little, sticking her ass out towards me. I knelt down and placed my hands on her firm ass, spreading her apart. Taking a second to enjoy the view, I moved forward, my tongue connecting with her sweet pussy, gently licking into her sweet folds.

"HOLY SHIT!" she gasped as my tongue invaded its way into her.

Feeding off her reaction, I grabbed her hips and pulled her into my face as hard as I could, my tongue thrusting deep inside of her. Slowly I started working my tongue up and down her slit, in and out of her with methodical strokes, her moans ever increasing.

"God, don't ever stop doing that." She moaned and pressed her ass back against me harder.

Sensing her buildup, I brought two fingers to her and slid them inside. I worked my fingers in and out of her, while bringing my other hand around and placed my thumb on her clit. This seemed to have the desired effect on her because within a minute, I felt her start to twist and her body began to clench against my fingers.

"I'm Cuming... I'm Cuming." she wailed between heavy breaths, intaking air sharply.

I leaned forward, gently biting her ass cheek and continued my assault on her pussy with my fingers and thumb. I felt her contract around me and she gasped and thrashed as the onset of her orgasm hit her.

"Oh my god!" I heard her moan as she rode it out, the final waves of her bliss approaching. I quickly stood up behind her, taking my now rock-hard cock in my hands, and slid it deep inside of her as this triggered her orgasm to continue.

"HOLY FUCK!!!!" she screamed and I was afraid that the neighboring room might call in a noise complaint.

"God damn your pussy feels good." I groaned in her ear and I started pumping my cock in and out of her.

I was on a mission this morning. I wanted to fuck her. I had gotten her off, now my mission was to make me cum. I bent at the knees slightly, thus shifting my position to now be thrusting at more of an upwards angle. With her hands still pressed against the shower wall, I reached around her and grabbed her breasts in both hands, squeezing them, rolling her nipples around between my fingers, pinching them slightly.

"Harder..." she moaned.

I pinched and pounded a little harder and this seemed to have the desired effect as her moans got louder. I began to thrust with more urgency. Quicker and quicker, deeper and deeper, harder and harder I thrust into her, the sounds of the running water, our bodies slapping against one another, the moans from the two of us quickly filling the room. The thrusts and movements were now fast and hard, her body pushing back to meet my every move. I let go of one of her tits and gave her ass a light slap, causing her to moan and grind against me harder. I returned my hand back to her tit and pulled her body into mine.

"Want me to cum for you?" I whispered into her ear.

"Yes please.... Cum for me." She growled back between her moans.

I moved my hands lower and grabbed her hips, thrusting into her as deep and as hard as I could, sensing my explosion was close. A few thrusts later and I felt the signs of my cum racing rapidly towards the tip of my cock.

"FUCK!" I screamed as I felt my load start splashing against her inner walls.

"Give it to me Nate. Fill my pussy with your cum." She begged as she continued to thrust back against me.

It felt like I hadn't cum in a week with the amount of my seed I was now pumping into this beautiful woman; each blast feeling as strong as the next. She moaned and gasped as she felt each salvo spray deep inside her, causing her body to shutter and tremble.

"Holy shit, that definitely woke me up." I said as I collapsed against her.

"I think I might have to join you in the shower more often." She laughed and flashed me a smile.

I spun her around, my now deflated cock pulling out of her freshly fucked pussy, and threw my arms around her, pulling her body against mine. My lips quickly sought hers and we kissed for a few minutes.

"Thank you." I said, kissing her once more.

"We have to do that one again." She smiled and reached for my cock as I began to wash my body.

"How about you get cleaned up and I'll order room service. We can re-build our energy first." I winked at her as I finished rinsing off.

"Sounds good to me." She said as she switched places with me and stood under the water.

I stepped out and began to dry off. I could hear Candace humming to herself; she seemed like she was on cloud nine. I couldn't help but smile.

"Waffles with strawberry syrup, right?" I asked before leaving the room.

"You remembered that?" she asked as she stuck her head out from around the curtain, seeming surprised.

"Yeah, your mom would make them for us. I remember that you used to race Jackson and I to the table so we wouldn't eat all of em first."

Candace just smiled and returned to her shower. I closed the bathroom door, heading towards my bags to get dressed. Stopping along the way I picked up the phone, placing our order for breakfast and proceeded to reach into my bag and grabbed a pair of grey athletic shorts and a red t-shirt as was my typical lounge wear. I got dressed and laid down on the bed to see if I could find anything on the television to kill the time.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. 'Wow, room service got here quick.' I got up and opened the door, surprised to see Jackson standing there in his athletic gear. He looked like he was getting ready to head to the gym.

"Hey buddy, thought since you were back you might like to join me for a run along the beach."

"Normally I would Jax, but now isn't the best time."

At that moment the shower turned off and I started to panic. Upon hearing this, Jackson poked his head inside and gave me a curious smile.

"Oh sorry, didn't know you had company last night." He replied, giving me a nod.

"Jax, it's not..." was all I could get out before the bathroom door opened and Candace came out, drying her hair with one towel and another wrapped around her body.

"Hey, how long did room service say..." Before she could finish, Candace looked to the doorway and froze as if she had seen a ghost.

"What the fuck is going on here Nathan?" Jackson asked.

"Jax listen..." I tried to explain

He pushed his way into the room, causing Candace so retreat to the bed. "Why the fuck is my sister in your hotel room?

Candace looked scared. She looked like she wanted to run, but Jackson was standing near her. I could see the anger in his eyes as he stared at his sister. I ran in front of Jackson, holding him back from getting closer to her, hoping that things could cool off and he could calm down.

"What, huh? Just what the fuck do you want?" he barked, while pushing against my chest.

Candace was clearly shaken, watching her brother and I stand toe to toe with one another. "Guys, stop it. Jackson, please listen..." She pleaded.

"Why?" He screamed back at her. "Give me one god damned good reason why I should listen to what either of you has to say right now."

"Because I'm falling in love with her Jackson." I said, staring down my best friend.

The silence afterwards spoke louder than words ever could. I didn't want it to come to this. I heard Candace sniffle as she stood up and reached out, the emotions of what had taken place affecting her, holding her left hand in my right, and intertwining our fingers together. She brought her other hand over and placed it on the middle of my bicep, which I am sure she could feel was tense at this moment as my body went into react mode. A knock at the door broke the awkward silence within the room.

"Room service Mr. Walker..." a gentle voice whispered as the lady from the hotel had delivered our food.

"Jax, I'm sorry. Please let me explain..." I tried to say to him, but he wasn't having it and slowly turned to walk away.

"JACKSON!" Candace yelled, but he just ignored her and continued to walk towards the door. When he reached the door, he slowly turned to look back at Candace and I, then walked off.

"Shit, hang on." I said and scrambled towards the door after him.

I quickly thanked the lady that had brought breakfast to the room, and ran to catch up with Jackson.

"Jax, please talk to me."

"I have nothing to say right now Nathan." He said under a harsh breath.

With that he turned and pressed the button for the elevator. I tried to form the words, but I couldn't. The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Jackson didn't say a word, but quietly got onto the lift and pressed the button.

"Jackson, please..." I said as the doors closed.

Slowly I walked back to the hotel room. As I entered the room, Candace was sitting on the bed gently sobbing.

"Don't worry, I'll make it right I promise."

This seemed to calm her down some. She got up off the bed and came over, wrapping her arms around me. I kissed her gently on the forehead and held her. She seemed comforted by this and I could feel her begin to relax.

"So, you're in love with me?" She asked as she slowly pulled back from our embrace and looked at me with a little grin, trying her best not to smile too much.

"I think you know that answer already..." I replied and leaned in, giving her a kiss.

She smiled back and sunk her head into my chest. We held for a few moments longer, letting the memories of the events seem to settle down and we slowly returned to as normal as possible. The smell of breakfast caught my attention as I slowly released her from my grip and turned to grab the plates of food that had been delivered.

"Breakfast is served." I said, handing her a plate.

She smiled and took the plate from my hands. I took a seat next to her and we ate our breakfast, both of us still processing the events of the morning. After our meal, Candace got up off the bed and dropped her towel, looking over her shoulder at me, giving me a little grin, then turned and went to her bag.

"I'm going to get dressed and I think I'll go see mom and dad. Maybe they can give me some advice to help me with Jackson, then I have to meet my friends at the airport. Call me later?"

"Sure. I'm going to give him a bit to cool off. Hopefully he will answer his phone or I can go see him so we can talk about all this."

"Okay." She said and came over, kissing me briefly.

I got up and walked her to the door. Another hug and kiss later and we said our goodbyes for now. I grabbed my phone and scrolled through looking for Jackson's number, dialing it when the name popped up. It rang once then went to voicemail.

"Jax, I really need to talk to you. Please call me back."

I laid on the bed, trying to thinking about the events as they unfolded in my mind and drifted off to take a short nap. I woke about an hour later, with a feeling of guilt and needed to go find Jackson. Hopefully by now he had time to settle down and we could talk. I needed to set things straight. I got dressed and quickly hurried out of my room.

I managed to hail a ride and had them take me to Jackson's apartment. I walked up the two flights of stairs to their apartment and knocked on the door. A few moments passed and I had no response, so I decided to leave and try something else. I got about five steps from the door when I heard the door unlock and open.

"Nathan? What are you doing here?" Emily asked.

"Do you know where Jackson is? I really need to talk to him. I tried calling but he won't answer his phone."

"He called me a while ago, upset; something about you and Candace but wouldn't go into any detail about it. What happened?"

I explained to her about the events that happened the last couple days. Emily seemed to take it all in and thought for a few seconds.

"I don't know you that well, but from what Jackson has said about you, I don't think you're the type of guy that would just consider her just a notch in your belt. I don't believe you would use her like that."

"I'm falling for her Emily. I have to talk to him. Did he say where he was?"

She paused for a moment, seeming to weigh her options as to what she wanted to say.

"Try down by the pier. He usually goes there when he needs to cool off. If he's not there maybe I can try talking to him later and see if he will at least hear you out."

"Thank you, Emily." I said and turned to head back down the stairs.

"Hope things work out Nate." She said as she closed the door.

I ran down the stairs and hailed another ride. About 15 minutes later we pulled up to our destination. I thanked my driver and quickly ran down to the beach, crossing under the pier. Jackson was sitting there, head between his knees, looking at the sand.

"Jax, can we please talk?"

"How did you find me?" he asked, surprised to see me there.

"Emily told me you might be here. Just like prom huh?" I replied trying to break the ice.

"Yeah, some of our best thinking was done down here." he jokingly replied.

I walked over and sat down next to him in the sand.

"You've been my best friend since I can remember Jax. I am sorry If I hurt you. That was the last thing either of us wanted to do."

"I wish you would have come to me and told me about it."

"Believe me Jackson, I tried to, but I was still figuring out my feelings for her as well. I didn't know how things were going to work out, but then she showed up at my door and I knew I had my answer. I'm falling for her Jax. Deep down, I've always had feelings for her, no matter how hard I tried to ignore them."

There was a silence where we both just hung our heads down and looked at the sand.

"It's not the fact that you have feelings for my sister Nathan. It's that I had to find her in your hotel room." He spoke.

"Jackson, I'm sorry. I never intended for things to happen the way they did." I confessed. "When I saw her again, the old feelings that I had for her seemed to come racing back. We all were hanging out and I was telling Taylor's boyfriend about my deployment and what happened. She seemed concerned about it and I could tell that it shook her..."
