(The continuing saga of Charlie's rise – written comments welcome!)
"Oh, crap!" Karen moaned. Her mother had just noticed her tank top was on inside out. She obviously knew something more than pool was going on in the basement. Karen looked over at Charlie. Poor Charlie, she chuckled to herself. His eyes were wide open in shock, dumbfounded; he looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
"Do you think she knows. I mean, maybe she thinks we were just making out or something."
"Yeah, I'm sure back in their day you made out by taking clothes off!" Charlie had just finished fucking Karen in the back furnace room when they heard noise coming from upstairs. They quickly dressed and in their haste, Karen had put her tank top on inside out, and of course her mom picked up on it right away.
"Anyway, it's too late now. If she knows, she knows."
"Were you ever...I ummm...I mean....uhhh, did you and..." Charlie searched for the words to ask his new girlfriend if she and her old boyfriend, his step-brother, had ever been caught fucking.
"No, me and fuck-head never did anything at my house. I've never been caught or even been this close before".
Karen had been dating Charlie's step-brother for almost a year. It was pretty much common knowledge, at least among her peers, that they had been enjoying each other's bodies. Mark, the step-brother, had been bragging all around school that he and Karen 'hooked up'. That was the beginning of the end as far as Karen was concerned. She wasn't ashamed about fucking Mark, she fully enjoyed being fucked. What she didn't like was the dick-head telling everyone and their mother that they were intimate. Intimate, she thought. Oh hell, we weren't intimate, because now I know there was no love between us, it was just fucking. Even to her, that sounded pretty lame.
"I better get going before your dad comes down with that shotgun of his loaded." Charlie's attempt at a joke falling on humorless ears.
Karen was looking at him with concern and fear. What had begun as just a little fun and maybe some retribution, Karen started dating her ex-boyfriend's step-brother about a month previous. What she didn't expect was how completely different he was than his brother. Where Mark was selfish, a braggart, and even sometimes violent, Charlie was caring, tender, and loving. She thought dating him would stick a knife in Mark and make it clear she was no longer interested in him, but now she found herself actually falling in love with Charlie.
She thought back on what had just happened in the furnace room. Although she kept insisting that they stop, Charlie pushed on until he was buried deep in her cunt. Even through her insistence, she knew in her own mind her reluctance was simply a sham. She wanted to get fucked, she enjoyed it, and it had been a long time since dumping 'ass-hole'. But even though she may have been a co-conspirator, and even though Charlie ignored her faux-insistence that they stop, Charlie was still more gentle and tender than Mark ever was. The activity may not have been the romantic interlude that she frequently dreamed about, but there just seemed to be an air of love and concern around his actions. He wanted her, and he wanted her bad, but in Karen's mind she knew that part of the reason he pushed on was because her objections were faint, if not down right absent. She knew if she had been adamant about stopping, he would have.
And that was her concern now. Her feelings for Charlie were building daily and she truly did not want to see their relationship come to an end.
"You ok?" she inquired.
"Yeah, now that my heart isn't beating so fast! Look, Karen. I hope this doesn't create too much problems for you or for us being together, but I'm not sorry in the least for what happened. I know this is crazy and way premature, but I think I'm falling in love with you and I don't want us to come apart. I think you're the greatest thing that's ever happened to me and I want to be with you, for ever."
"Oh, Charlie, I'm sooooo happy to hear you say that", tears welling in her eyes. "I know it's only been a short while, too, but I really, really like you. Fuck it, I think I'm in love with you, too!"
The two new lovers moved to each other, wrapping their arms around the other in a loving embrace and finally a heart-felt, tender kiss. Both of their feelings of apprehension were sated by each other's admission.
"I better get going," he reached for her again, kissed her full on the mouth and looked deep into her eyes. "I love you, Karen."
Karen's body flushed, tingles tickled up and down her spine, and she suddenly was covered in goose bumps. "I love you, too, Charlie. See you tomorrow?"
"Try to keep me away," he challenged, again kissing her full on the lips, his tongue slipping into her mouth. "See you tomorrow."
Charlie picked up the phone on the second ring. He had been in his room going through his email. It was Karen and she was her usual chirpy self, which helped to set his mind at ease, given what had occurred last night.
"Hey, babe. It's me," she obviated. "Gotta tell ya this! My mom and I had a looonng talk last night after you left."
"Oh shit! About us?"
"Yeah, but it was nowhere near what I expected. Let's just say everything is cool! I guess since I'm now the big One Eight, she felt a discussion was better than a lecture!"
"So we're cool? Your parents aren't sending the Navy Seals to end me!" Charlie joked.
"We're good. She likes you, for some weird reason." It was Karen's turn to joke. "She actually thinks we're perfect for each other."
"Oh great! Now I'm gonna HAVE to marry you!"
