Devyn was a freshman in college, she was on her own for the first time, and was hoping to meet someone new. Guys her age weren't appealing, she wanted an older man, but not too much, perhaps out of college and working on his real life.
Her and some friends were planning on going to College Night at one of the clubs downtown before school starts. She isn't much for that, but they are all going. Saturday night rolls around, they get into the club, grab a table and observe the crowd.
As they are sitting at their table, a very handsome man walks by, looking over his shoulder as he passes by. Devyn watches her friends swoon over him, but no one makes a move; they just talk about how cute he was and how they'd love to get close to someone like that.
Devyn, who is usually the shy one of the bunch, stands and says "I'll be right back, you guys are all talk."
She walks through the club looking for the man who passed their table. She spots him leaning against the wall, he is alone, no friends with him and no girl holding on to him, maybe he's single? Devyn walks over toward him, stands a few feet behind him, as he turns and looks back at her. They smile at each other, after a few minutes, Devyn taps him on the shoulder, "Would you like to dance?"
"Sure." He takes her hand and leads her to the middle of the dance floor. They stand face to face,, he places his hands on her hips as they begin to dance to the music. The music is familiar, and is meant to bring bodies close together, so Devyn puts her arms around his neck as their bodies remain close at the waist. They stare into each other's eyes, as they dance together, everyone else seems to disappear. Several songs later, he leads her off the floor, and over to an empty table near the bar..
"I'll be right back," he says. Leaving Devyn alone at the table. Several minutes go by, and just as Devyn has decided to leave, the bartender brings her a drink, "This from the guy at the corner of the bar." She looks over, almost embarrassed that she had stayed, and sees him standing there. A minute later he's back at her table, "Sorry, I just got a little nervous, I'm glad you stayed."
"I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do, but I'm glad you came back. Thanks for the drink, I'm Devyn.". She reaches out to shake his hand. He takes her hand, "I'm Danny, nice to meet you."
"I enjoyed dancing with you, you're really good, I'm afraid I have no skills." He laughs, "You were great, you move really nicely. Are you from here?"
"Yeah, I'm in college, but I live on another island when I'm not in school." You?"
"Nope, I'm originally from New York, the Bronx to be exact. I'm a Marine, stationed in Kaneohe."
Devyn's heart just fluttered a Marine, "That explains your good looks, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, sadly I don't, I'm never in one place long enough to make anything work. I try to keep things simple, when I know time is limited.."
Devyn wants to know more, but it's loud in here, then Danny asks if she would like to go somewhere quiet, she agrees. They begin to head for the door, but she must let her friends know. Needless to say, they can't believe she's met this guy and now she's leaving with him. They try to talk her out of it, but she begins to walk away, Danny is at the door, she waves goodbye to her friends.
"How about a ride, or are you in a rush to get back to school?".
"No, not at all, let's go." They walk to his car, he opens the door, and helps her in. They drive for a while, Danny goes to a lookout above his base. They walk over to the wall overlooking the base., The dark night lit up by the Marine Base's bright lights. As they stand there, Danny takes Devyn's hand and turns her toward him, placing his hands on her waist again, as he leans in to kiss her.
This is her first real kiss, she loves his full lips, and how his tongue plays with hers. She wraps her arms around his waist, as he moves down to her neck, a soft moan sneaks out of Devyn. Danny grabs her waist and pulls her into him, there's a definite bulge in between them.
"I feel you, but we just met, can we stop for a minute?" Devyn leans back looking into his eyes. Danny looks back, "Yes, I'm not trying to push you into something you aren't comfortable with, somethings just have a mind of their own,"
"That's okay. Can we find some where we can talk?" Danny nods, "I'm starving, how about if we go grab some food."
They head back to his car, and drive to a restaurant, where they sit and talk until the sun comes up. Danny is 25, Black with Puerto Rican descent. He is about 5'10 and built like a tank. Devyn is very attracted to her new friend, he too seems very interested in her.
They finish their meal and walk back out to Danny's car. He walks her to the passenger door. stops for another long kiss, his hands caressing her breasts, she feels him aroused again as their bodies are pressed tightly together. "We aren't making very good progress on getting you back to your dorm." Devyn nods.
They stop their kiss, he helps her into his car, Danny plays some familiar music from their first dance, as he rests his hand on her leg. Devyn holds his hand. as Danny drives them back to her dorm. Danny walks her to her door, they make arrangements to see each other again.
It's now January, and they've been seeing each other for almost 5 months. Danny arrives at Devyn's Dorm to pick her up, he has reservations for a nice dinner down in Waikiki for Devyn's birthday. As well as a hotel room booked for the two of them. He also has some news to tell Devyn after dinner.
They enjoy their dinner, then take a walk through Waikiki, they find a quiet place to sit on the sand, when Danny explains his recent new orders, he will be leaving in February. Devyn knew there was always this possibility of Danny having to leave. She's really going to miss him.
Danny explains that he has a hotel room for them to spend the night together, Devyn agrees to go to his room. They spend more time talking, Devyn tells Danny she believes there is a definite connection between them, But she's willing to let things happen between them, as long as she is comfortable. "Danny, I haven't had sex with anyone, but I'm finding it a little difficult to keep this platonic relationship from becoming more. I want to share this night with you, but I'm also a little scared."
Danny completely understands, and offers a solution. "I appreciate your honesty, would you be against me showing you love without crossing that line, I would love to share that with you tonight, as long as you are comfortable."
Devyn agrees, "I would like that, the last few months have been amazing, and I've enjoyed every minute that we have been able to share.." Danny nods, "I will not hurt you, you decide how far we go, ok?"
Devyn takes his hand and places it on her heart. "We have spent a short time together, but I will not forget how you have treated me, and you will always be in my heart, no matter where we may be."
They walk farther down the beach to their hotel. They sit out on the lanai listening to the waves crash on the beach. "You are so lucky to live in a place like this. If it wasn't for the Marines I would never have made it to Hawaii." Devyn agrees, "I never take living here for granted, it's something that I will forever be grateful for."
Danny walks Devyn inside, "Why don't you take a shower, and when you get done, I will jump in."
Devyn finishes, walking out in her nightgown to the bed, Danny walks in to take his shower. A little while later, Danny walks out to Devyn, with just a towel wrapped tightly around his waist.
Devyn smiles, "Wow!" She had seen him in trunks at the beach, she laid underneath him when they shared a surfboard. But he looked so different, maybe because she was looking at him differently now. She now knows there are some feelings involved, and she was about to share her body with him.
