Fighting for a Second Chance (Fighting #1) Read online

  Suddenly I feel his lips on me but then he pulls away quickly giving me nothing more than a tease of his lips. It can’t even count as a kiss but it makes me want more.

  Several hours, questions, and drinks later I am beat to death by the sun, and ready to go back up to the room. Cooper agrees and we head back up. As we walk inside I begin to head to the bathroom to change out of my bathing suit and rinse the greasy sun screen off my body when Cooper stops me. He rubs his hand down my arm and looks into my eyes like he’s dehydrated and needs me to personally rehydrate him. He moves towards me, closing the distance between us as his lips hit mine. I gasp softly into his mouth because holy shit I am finally going to experience my first real kiss.

  First softly, then more roughly, our mouths move against each other. I can feel his tongue gliding across my lips seeking entrance and I willingly open them to allow him access. His mouth tastes similar to what it did last night. It must be the Jack he kept ordering. His hands rub up and down my arms smoothly causing goose bumps to rise up across my skin. My hands wrap around his neck and then move further up to grab ahold of his hair as I continue to kiss him back. He groans softly and tugs my body closer to his but stops the kiss way too soon.

  “Let’s take a shower,” he whispers into my ear and before I can answer he is grabbing my hand and pulling me into the bathroom. He turns the water on and gets in with his bathing suit still on. I know he is doing this for my benefit, not sure where I stand in this situation. He puts his hand out to take mine and I follow him in, still in my bathing suit as well.

  The water is warm and feels good against my sun kissed skin. I turn around to face away from the water and allow it to massage my body. When I open my eyes Cooper is towering over me giving me a heated look that tells me exactly what he wants from me.

  He grabs the soap from the sidebar and squirts some into his hand, turns me around and begins to rub it onto my shoulders and down my arms untying the top string around my neck. It causes me to shiver and he stops for a second and turns my head to face him. He gives me a look with one eyebrow up silently asking is this ok? And since I can’t find my voice I nod eagerly.

  He continues rubbing the body wash in and when he gets to my back I can feel him untie my last bathing suit string causing my top to fall to the floor of the shower.

  He moves his hands towards my front and begins to rub circles around my nipples, palming my breasts. It feels so good that I can’t help but whimper at the feeling.

  He takes my noises as a cue to continue down and slowly slides my bikini bottom down my thighs as I lift each foot up just enough for him to remove it as it joins my top on the floor.

  His hands go back to massaging my breasts and it feels unbelievable. He squeezes more soap out of the bottle and begins to soap up my entire body moving to my stomach and then to my mound. Thank god Kayla made me get a full Brazilian before we left! I think he is going to stop there but he keeps going.

  He soaps up my thighs and when he gets to my feet he lifts my foot up and kisses the inside of it. If he is trying to drive me crazy with want, it is working. He moves back up the inside of my thigh until he reaches the apex. I can’t take my eyes off him as I watch him pull apart my pussy lips with his fingers as he inserts one into me. I moan quietly at the feeling. Why in the world did I ever wait so long to be touched by a guy?

  “Damn, baby. You are so tight. You feel so good around my finger.” I should tell him I am a virgin but I don’t want him to stop. Kayla told me she barely bled her first time so if we have sex in the shower hopefully he will never know. Plus I got on the pill a few days before we left.

  He inserts another finger into me and even in the shower I can feel how wet I am around his fingers. He pumps in and out of me causing my body to tremble at his touch. His other hand reaches up and starts pulling and tugging on my nipples. His fingers are bringing me to the edge of insanity and I don’t know what to do.

  His fingers begin moving faster, going deeper, and suddenly they hit something deep inside of me causing me to tighten up. My climax is building and my body is shaking with the need to release. “Let go, baby. Come for me.” I have no choice but to let go when I hear those words from him and I experience the most amazing orgasm I have ever felt. The ones I have given myself over these years are nothing compared to what I am feeling now.

  He has a beautiful smirk on his face knowing what he just did to me, and then it morphs to pure lust. He licks some of the water from his lips and moves some of the wayward hair from my face and attacks my lips with his. This kiss is different from the first one. This one screams of want and desire. His tongue finds mine, and I can’t get enough of his taste in my mouth as they move in a rhythmic motion swirling around each other. It reminds me of how close we danced together last night. Every part of me just fits with every part of him.

  As I come down from my orgasm he removes his fingers from me and I immediately want them back inside me. He sees my face turn to a pout and he kisses it away. He takes the fingers he just had in me and puts them into his mouth.

  “Mmm, baby girl. You taste damn good. I am going to need to taste some more of this soon.”

  When he removes his fingers my eyes stay glued to his mouth. It is then I realize he is removing his bathing suit. I watch as he unties the drawstring that holds them up and pushes his shorts down exposing his long thick cock. He continues to push the shorts further down and steps out of them dropping them on to the floor over my bathing suit pieces.

  My eyes move back to his hard length as he takes it in his hand and begins to stroke it a few times while never losing eye contact with me. I know it sounds crazy but I am seriously wondering how in the world that thing is going to fit inside of me.

  He must sense my nervousness because he lets go of his cock and moves closer to me gripping my chin so I am looking right into his beautiful green eyes. Keeping eye contact he whispers “Wrap your arms around my neck, baby.”

  He grabs my ass in his hands and lifts me up against the shower wall. “I plan to take you in the bed but right now I can’t wait to have you. Are you on birth control? I’m clean. I have to get checked often for my job.”

  He continues to look into my eyes searching for what? I don’t know. This is where I should tell him I am a virgin but instead I simply murmur, “I am clean, too, and on the pill.”

  As soon as he hears those words, without any barriers between us, he presses the head to my entrance and in one fluid motion buries himself inside me. At first I feel a burning sensation as he rips through my virginity but after a few minutes it begins to feel good. Damn good.

  I hold onto his hair with my arms around his neck as he moves in and out of me. His hands are holding my ass cheeks tightly as he pulls his dick out slowly and pushes it back in with more force.

  “Fuck, Liz. You are so tight. It’s like you are choking my cock. I don’t know how long I am going to last. It has never felt this way.”

  I begin to feel something building up inside me once again as he continues this motion of in and out, in and out. I look at him and he can feel me tightening up around him.

  “C’mon, baby give it to me one more time” he grunts out and I do. The building up finally spills over and I lose it. My body is convulsing and I am shaking. I scream out his name and he picks up speed knowing I have climaxed again.

  He pumps into me relentlessly. My head is smacking against the shower wall but I don’t even care. If I die from a concussion from this I will die a very happy girl.

  His mouth moves to my neck sucking hard like he needs an outlet to release all his built up tension. His pace gets choppier and I feel his cock begin to swell inside of me as his hands and legs shake from the intensity of his orgasm.

  He comes to a complete stop, breathing heavily, and moves his face from out of my neck, giving me a small smile. I smile back and he carefully sets me down. I am pretty sure this man just ruined me for every guy whose to come in the future. This time we wash our bodie
s ourselves and then we venture out of the bathroom in our towels all cleaned up.

  We lie down in the bed, order room service for dinner, and watch some television. As we lay together he rubs up and down my arms absentmindedly. I don’t even think he realizes he’s doing it. It’s like he has to be touching me in some way at all times. As he watches some sports game I take the opportunity to try to burn every beautiful feature of him into my brain for later, which makes me want him all over again. If tonight is all I get I need to make it count.

  I begin to adjust myself and move down the bed. Cooper looks over at me with a confused expression across his face. I don’t say anything; my actions will speak for themselves. I get down to the bottom of the bed and pull the sheets off him. Staring right at me is his big beautiful cock.

  I am not sure if a cock is supposed to be called beautiful and I have never seen one until tonight but looking at it up close I have to say Cooper has one mighty fine looking cock.

  He stares down at me wondering what I am doing. I am not about to chicken out now. I take his hard length into my hands and stroke it up and down to feel it. It feels soft like velvet yet rough. I can’t believe this was just in me a little while ago. I take my mouth and kiss the tip of the crown feeling the smoothness of it across my lips. I look back up and his eyebrows are raised but he still hasn’t moved a muscle. I wonder if he realizes this is my first time touching one.

  I lick my lips in anticipation before putting the head of his cock between my lips once again. I swirl my tongue over the tip tasting the little bit of pre-cum that comes to the surface. I do it once again and Cooper groans out loud. Knowing that I am causing this reaction from him spurs me on.

  I go up higher onto my knees and place my mouth over the entire length of his cock and slide it down to the back of my throat coating it with my saliva. I begin to bob my head up and down stopping at the top to swirl my tongue around the head.

  Cooper takes my hair and moves it out of my way and grips ahold of it while I continue to deep throat him. Down, up, swirl. Down, up, swirl. I can feel his body beginning to tense and feel his grip on my hair go tighter. I can tell he is getting close to his release so I start going faster and take it as deep as I can go.

  He tries to pull my head off him but I figure if I am going to do this I might as well fully commit. I keep going and if it is even possible his cock gets harder and thicker and within a few seconds I can feel the warm liquid shoot into my mouth and coat my throat. He groans my name as I continue to suck and lick him through his orgasm swallowing it all down.

  When he is done I look up at him hoping it was good. His wide smile is confirmation enough that my first blowjob was a success. I get up to wash my mouth out and come back to bed to cuddle with him. I hate that when tomorrow comes this will be the ending when in another lifetime this would be the beginning.

  The food arrives and after Cooper takes the cart from the guy he brings it all into the bed.

  “Yum! I want some of your burger.”

  I look at him like he is crazy and decide to tease him a bit before sharing my juicy burger with him.

  “Mmm… I bet it’s going to be delicious. Maybe, you should have ordered a salad!”

  I take a huge bite of my double bacon cheeseburger and all the condiments packed inside of it drip down my face. He starts laughing at me.

  “I don’t think your mouth can handle all that. You need to share with me.” He swipes his finger up the side of my mouth removing the mess I have created and puts it into his mouth.

  “I handled you just fine, didn’t I?”

  “Damn right you did! Now share some of that burger with me.”

  Once we are finished eating – and Cooper has finished eating almost half my burger – He grabs the empty trays, puts them on the cart, and rolls it outside the door before climbing back in to bed. As he gets situated I’m able to sneak a closer look at his tattoos since he isn’t wearing a shirt.

  I notice the tattoo on his arm is of a huge dragon that begins at the top of his shoulder and covers his entire arm with the tail extending to his forearm. There is writing in the tail but I can’t make out what it says.

  Cooper notices me staring at his tattoo and gives me a wink moving closer to me. “The dragon symbolizes strength and him breathing fire symbolizes me breaking free from my parents’ constraints. I got it a few years after my parents split up and shit got bad. I was working with my dad and ended up leaving to go work on my own. I am heading back home to work with him again and have no idea how I am going to deal with him. In the tail it says ‘I breathe in my courage and exhale my fear.’ It’s to remind myself that I am strong enough to stand up to him and be my own person.”

  “It’s beautiful,” I whisper without realizing I am running my fingertips along the words of the quote he just read to me. I can feel goose bumps rise up and I look at him and see he is staring at me like he is about to devour me. His look of want causes my pussy to tingle and I instinctively tighten my thighs to seek relief. He leans forward and begins to make love to my mouth. Yup, it’s official. He has ruined me.

  We make love a few more times throughout the night until I once again fall sleep with his body wrapped around mine, wishing tonight would never have to end.

  I wake up to the door unlocking and then opening and realize the space next to me is empty. The clock reads five in the morning. Kayla is tiptoeing into the room in a shirt and cotton shorts that reads Miami, Florida. She must have bought them from one of the tourist shops. She has her dress and heels in her arms and I can tell she is trying not to wake me.

  When she looks over at me and sees I am awake she giggles and lies down in her bed and pats the spot next to her for me to join her. I get up to crawl across the bed when I feel the crinkling sound of paper. I look down at it and see my name scribbled along the top. The only person it could be from is Cooper and my stomach falls when I realize it is a goodbye note. I knew this was coming but I didn’t realize how much it would hurt.

  Liz, I had to catch an early flight and I didn’t want to wake you. You looked so peaceful lying in bed wrapped up in my arms. I wish I could hold you like that forever. Thank you for the most amazing thirty hours of my life. I will never forget them and will probably fantasize about them for years to come ;) Stay sweet, baby.

  Xo – Coop

  I take the note with me over to Kayla’s bed so she can read it. “Do you regret sleeping with him?” Kayla asks me after reading the letter herself.

  “No, it was perfect. I knew going into this it would be a one-night stand, or thirty-hour stand as he put it. We are just starting college. I am not about to try to start a relationship with somebody right now. Did you get Bentley’s number?”

  “Nope, we had fun but agreed what happens in Miami, stays in Miami. Let’s get some sleep and enjoy the rest of our week. And don’t think I am letting you off the hook. After I get some shut-eye you will be giving me all the details!”

  “Yeah, yeah,” I chuckle and we curl back up into the sheets and fall asleep. My thirty hours with Cooper were amazing and I will never forget our short time together.

  My first day without Cooper is a bit depressing. I can’t stop thinking about him. Kayla seems a bit down as well. She hasn’t really said what happened with Bentley but I think, like Cooper did to me, he took with him a little piece of her heart.

  Kayla and I spend the day lounging by the pool. She is listening to music while I am reading my book. In the late afternoon we decide to go back up to our room to shower and get a bite to eat. When we walk in I see a thin white rectangular box wrapped in pink ribbon on my bed.

  Kayla gets excited and tells me to hurry up and open it. When I pick it up there’s no card stating whom it’s from. I pull the ribbon off and when I open the box I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

  “What is it? I am dying over here.” Kayla says and comes closer to see what I am looking at.

  “It’s gift cards to Barnes and Noble, Amazon,
and iTunes.”

  Kayla cocks her head to the side and her eyebrows shoot up. “Umm, ok. Am I missing something here? Why do you look like you are about to cry over them? And who sent them?”

  I take the gift cards out and find a small piece of paper with typed words.

  I wasn’t sure where you get your books. Whenever you buy a new book, think of me. – Coop

  “I made him play twenty questions to get to know him and I told him I love to read but that I don’t always have the money to buy new books so I reread my favorites.”

  Kayla’s eyes go glossy at my explanation.

  “Oh, Liz. That is so romantic.”

  “Yeah, it is. Too bad I can never thank him.”

  The next day Kayla and I check out some of the sites in Miami. We take a taxi to the art district and check out the graffiti walls while having lunch at a yummy Cuban restaurant. When we get back there’s another box on my bed.

  “Get the hell out of here!” Kayla shouts when she spots it at the same time I do.

  I open the box and this time in the box is the entire collection of Batman movies. I burst out laughing and look for a note. Sure enough there’s another one.

  For your viewing pleasure. Only once you watch all of these can you judge Batman. – Coop

  Kayla reads it silently over my shoulder. “Another twenty questions fact?”

  “Yeah, it’s his favorite movie.”

  “Did you by any chance tell him you love huge houses and expensive cars?”

  Day three post-Cooper and I haven’t received a package yet. I wonder how he is doing all this. If he is sending them daily or if he did all this before he left. To be honest, I don’t even want to know. It feels magical and I don’t want to lose that feeling.

  Kayla and I decide to go down to the restaurant in the resort for dinner. When we are done eating and ready to get the bill, the waiter brings me out a Crème brûlée. Before he walks too far away I call him back over.
