My Girl

Chapter One

Theo

Prologue

I’ve married Winnie Vaughn 126 times.

We’ve been best friends since we were kids and she used to make me dress up as a groom so that she could pretend to get married. I’m pretty sure I was in love with her even back then. I would watch her walk down the hall towards me and my stomach would flip over and I’d get a weird feeling in my chest.

I hated dressing up though. I thought pretending to be the groom and just standing there was so boring. The dress shirt was the worst. The collar was too tight and itchy and the dumb dress shoes that she would make me wear always pinched my toes. I wanted to tell her that I wasn’t playing dress up or pretend wedding with her again but then she would ask me to.

She would stare up at me with those bright eyes and she always looked so hopeful when she asked, that I could never turn her down. I would get a warm feeling in my chest when I saw that look on her face.

She had me wrapped around her finger even back then. She was always the most beautiful person that I had ever seen and I knew that I was going to marry her, for real, one day.

Winnie has always been shy and prefers to keep to herself. She’s short, only 5’3” with large green eyes that seemed to take up most of her face when we were kids. Now that we’re older they still seem too large in her face. Her eyes are framed with long lashes and I love seeing them twinkle as she stares up at me. She has a dusting of freckles across the bridge of her nose and I have a habit of counting them when I stare at her for too long.

Her blonde hair is curly and cascades down her back. Over the years it’s gotten lighter and lighter until it finally settled at a white blonde. She keeps it long and likes to use it as a shield whenever she gets nervous or is in a large crowd. I like to run my fingers through it when we’re laying on her bed, doing homework or watching tv. It’s always soft as silk and she smiles and leans into my hand each time I do it.

She always smells like clementine’s. They’re her favorite fruit and I swear that she could eat a whole bag in one sitting. She buys her shampoo and body wash in that scent too and it’s quickly become my favorite smell in the whole world.

Our families lived next door to each other when we were kids and we would spend everyday playing and chasing after each other. We’ve been best friends since the day that we met. In school, we were always paired up together since our last names were so close, Vaughn and Vault. I never minded because there was no one else that I would rather be paired with. I wanted to spend all of my time with Winnie and keep her all to myself.

She’s always made me feel like I’m about to hit the drop on a roller coaster but over the years it seems to have gotten stronger. I feel protective of her and I want to make sure that she’s safe. Winnie would never hurt a fly and I get upset when people take advantage of her kindness. When we were younger some of the other girls used to pick on her because she was so quiet and shy. I stood up to them and ever since everyone has known not to mess with Winnie.

We’ve spent every day together since we were five and we have a weekly movie date every Friday night. We would go over to Winnie’s house since my mom worked late on Friday’s at the hospital and stay up half the night watching old movies and pigging out on snacks. We’d fall asleep at some point on the living room floor and wake up to her mom making us pancakes. I woke up one morning to her eyes already on me. She had smiled at me and suddenly, I could see it. That was when I knew that she loved me too. I could see it in her eyes.

I wanted to tell her how I felt about her after that. I had just turned thirteen and I had it all planned out. I was going to use some of my birthday money to buy her flowers and show up at her house and confess that I loved her. She would tell me that she felt the same way and we would date and then get married and have a family of our own. I could picture it all in my head and I just hoped that Winnie wanted it too.

I had it all figured out and I had even gone and bought the flowers but before I could tell Winnie how I felt, something stopped me. I got home from the store to find my dad and Winnie’s mom sitting at the kitchen table with Winnie. I can still remember the devastated look on Winnie’s face when they told us the news.

They had been having an affair with each other and my mom and Winnie’s dad had found out. They were going to get a divorce but they told us not to worry. Mrs. Vaughn was going to marry my dad and we would all be a family together. Winnie would be my step-sister.

Just like that, my dreams for Winnie and I went up in smoke.

Chapter Two

Winnie

Five Years Later…

My mom yells up the stairs for Theo and I to come down for breakfast and I roll out of bed, shaking out my blonde curls as I make my way over to the door. I can hear her yelling something else but I realize that this time it’s at my stepfather. He says something back to her and I roll my eyes. They’ve been fighting more and more lately and I wonder what they could possibly have to fight about at 6 am.

I open my bedroom door and walk out at the same time that Theo does and he smiles at me as he throws his arm over my shoulders and leads me down the stairs. The familiar tingle races down my spine as his skin brushes against mine and I forget about our parents for a second.

He leans into me more and I bite my tongue to hold back my moan as I catch a whiff of his body wash. I love how Theo smells, like spearmint and cedar. I know it’s from his shampoo and body wash but I love it. I had bought it for him one year for Christmas and he’s kept buying it ever since. I smile back at him as we take our seats across the table from each other. I take him in as he starts to dig into his pancakes. His black hair is sticking up in every direction and his blue eyes are bright when he looks up and catches me watching him.

He’s filled out a lot since we were kids and I admire the way his white t-shirt stretches across his broad shoulders. He joined the football team in middle school and now as a senior, he’s the starting quarterback. He’s good too and I know our parents are hoping that he gets a college scholarship to play.

I watch Theo finish his breakfast and drop his dishes in the sink before he heads back up the stairs to get dressed. I pick at my pancakes, finishing the last few bites before I head back to my room to get ready. I tug on my usual attire, some skinny jeans and a plain t-shirt.

I’ve known Theo since we were kids and I’ve loved him for just as long. Then five years ago our parents changed everything. They had been having an affair for about a year before anyone found out and they sat us down and told us. They were divorced and married to each other six months after that. Suddenly, Theo wasn’t just my neighbor, best friend, and first crush; He was my stepbrother.

Nothing really changed in our relationship beside that though. I never thought of him as a brother and my feelings about him certainly weren’t familial. We still hung out together every day and had movie night every Friday night. He still hangs out with me at school and we eat lunch together every day. The only thing their marriage changed was that now I wasn’t free to tell Theo how I felt about him.

It felt wrong to have these sorts of feelings about Theo. I mean we weren’t related, but still. I knew how people would look at us, how they would react. We live in a small town and people would gossip and look down on us if we got together.

Theo is so popular and well liked and I’m more the shy book nerd. Theo is the king of school and I’m the wallflower that most people forget about. Theo always sees me though. He’s always treated me with kindness and respect. I even thought that he loved me too once upon a time. I would catch him looking at me with a strange look in his eyes sometimes. His eyes would linger on me for longer than usual and he would pass up times to hang out with his friends to spend time with me instead. He’s never made a move on me though so I guess it was just wishful thinking.

To be fair, no one has ever made a move on me. I’m 18 years old and I’ve never been on a date, let alone had a boyfriend. Sometimes I wonder what’s wrong with me that no one seems interested in me like that. I’ve watched my friends get asked out and go on dates over and over again but no one has ever even taken a second look at me before.

It never used to bother me. After all, I’ve never been able to picture myself with anyone other than Theo. Theo has always been perfect to me. He’s gorgeous and so sweet and nice to everyone. He’s the boy that I compare every other one too and they always come up lacking.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Theo never made a move on me. The king of the school and the quiet book nerd only end up together in movies.

Chapter Three

Theo

I drive Winnie and I to school and we walk in together. Her first class is in the opposite direction of mine and we say goodbye at the front doors. My eyes follow after Winnie as she weaves in and out of the crowd, making her way down the hallway. I glare at a few guys who turn to check her out and they scurry past me. I’ve already spread the word that Winnie is off-limits and so far, no one has challenged that. I watch Winnie until she turns the corner, disappearing from my view. I frown but I know that I’ll see her again at lunch.

I sigh as I turn and make my way to my class, stopping to say hi to a few people as I go. I walk into my history class and toss my notebook on my desk before I slouch in my seat. My hand rubs absently over my heart and I sigh to myself. Being with Winnie but not really being with her is starting to take its toll on me. I love her and I know there will never be another girl for me for as long as I live.

Every day that goes by that she isn’t mine is another day where someone could take her away from me. Just the thought of her dating some other guy makes my hands clench into fists and my gut tightens. It would kill me to see her with someone else and I’ve been lucky so far that no one has asked her out but next year we’ll be in college, on a huge campus, and I won’t be able to keep guys away from her then. I need to stake my claim before then.

I spend the rest of my morning counting down the minutes until Winnie will be by my side once again. As soon as the bell rings, I’m out of my seat and racing for the door. I make it to Winnie’s locker and catch her right as she’s walking up. I sling my arm over her shoulder, tugging her into my side as we make our way to the lunch room.

“You coming to football practice?” I ask as we walk into the room and take our seats.

“Yeah, wouldn’t miss it.” She says in the least excited tone possible.
I laugh and nudge her with my elbow as she sinks into her chair and I take the one next to hers. I ask her how her day has been as we wait for the others to join us. Our lunch table is mostly made up of my football teammates and some of the cheerleaders. She has math before lunch and she complains about the homework her teacher gave out. I offer to help her with it after practice and she smiles at my gratefully. I get lost in her for a second and blink to try to clear my head. Winnie’s smiles have always had the ability to knock me on my ass and then have me chasing after her like a lovesick puppy.

My teammates join us and I try to focus on what they’re talking about. My eyes keep drifting back to Winnie though and I smile to myself when the bell rings and I realize that I daydreamed about Winnie through most of lunch.

I grab her backpack from her as we make our way out to her next class. I say goodbye at the door before I jog down the hallway to my science class. Only three more periods until school is over and football practice starts. I drive us to school so Winnie sits in the stands while I’m on the field and then I drive us home. I know that she just doesn’t want to be home alone with our parents while they’re fighting but I’ll take any extra alone time with her that I can get.

The last bell rings and I finish scribbling the last of my notes down before I shove everything into my book bag and head out the door. Luckily our final classes our close together and I don’t have to go far before I can see Winnie’s blond curls bouncing down the hallway towards me.

We fall into step beside each other as we make our way out to the football field. I carry her backpack for her as we walk across the grass and through the chain link fence to the field. Winnie takes her usual seat on the bleachers under the awning. It’s the only place with some shade and I know that she’ll spend my practice doing homework and reading. It’s hard to see her all the way up here but just knowing that she’s here makes me feel better. The other girls will all sit close to the field. They’ll spend the whole two hours trying to flirt with the players.

I take one last look at Winnie before I wave and make my way back down the bleachers and over to the locker rooms. I change into my gear quickly, ignoring the other guys all talking about who hooked up with who this weekend. My best friend, Austin, thumps me on the back as we both turn to make our way out onto the field and I listen as he tells me about some concert that he went to on Saturday.

Coach calls for practice to start and I spend the next hour and a half running drills with my teammates. Every chance I get, I look up into the stands, trying to catch a glimpse of Winnie and see if maybe she’s looking for me too.

We scrimmage for the last half hour and I’m sweating and panting by the time the final whistle blows. I tug my helmet off, running my hand through my damp hair as I run into the locker room with my teammates. I shower and dress as fast as I can, eager to get back to Winnie. I wave goodbye to a couple of guys and tell Austin I’ll text him later as I jog out of the locker room and head up the bleachers to my girl.

Some of the other girls who were watching try to stop me or grab my attention by waiving at me but I just give them a tight-lipped smile as I climb closer to the only girl who will ever have my heart.

I reach Winnie and help her pack up the last of her books before I grab her backpack from her and swing it over my shoulder. I help her down the stairs and wrap my arm around her shoulders as I lead her over to my car.

I hold the passenger door open for her and make sure she gets in ok before I close the door and open the back door to throw our backpacks in. I slide into the driver’s seat and make sure she’s all set before starting the car and heading towards home.

Chapter Four

Winnie

It’s Friday and in my small town that means football. I’m sandwiched between my mom and step-dad in the stands as we cheer for Theo down on the field. I’m not really that into sports but I wouldn’t miss the opportunity to see Theo running around in his tight football pants. I try to hide that from my parents though.

Another reason that I like Friday nights is because lately it’s been the only time when my mom and Theo’s step-dad aren’t yelling at each other. Their fights have been getting worse and worse and I know that should make me sad but a part of me hopes that they get a divorce. I’ve never really forgiven them for what they did to my dad and Theo’s mom or for how they ruined my chances with Theo.

The game is almost over and I sit on the edge of my seat, getting sucked into the excitement of the crowd as the clock ticks down. This will be the last play but our team is up so many points that I’m not sure it even matters at this point. Still, the thought of another touchdown as the people in the seats clapping their hands and cheering.

I watch as Theo calls the play before the ball is snapped back. Theo catches it easily and I watch as he looks for an opening. When he can’t find any open players, he grips the ball and starts to run. I watch as Theo streaks across the field, the football tucked securely under his arm as he closes in on the end zone. He’s close to the goal post now and the crowd jumps to their feet as he crosses the line into the end zone, scoring another goal.

The crowd goes crazy as his teammates join Theo in the end zone to celebrate. I cheer loudly from the stands along with the rest of the crowd and soon my throat hurts from cheering for Theo. I smile as the players leave the field and I know that soon Theo will come out of the locker room with his damp hair and he’ll wrap me up in a big hug before our parents congratulate him and we all head home.

My parents will grab pizza and we’ll eat before they go upstairs to argue some more and Theo and I will do our usual Friday night routine. We’ll make popcorn, grab some drinks and ice cream and then camp out in my room, watching movies until we both fall asleep. All of his other teammates will go out to parties and try to hook up with other girls but Theo has always passed and opted to spend the night with me.

We make our way down the stairs with the crowd and I glance back to the field to see that Theo has been stopped by some of the cheerleaders. Alexa, the head cheerleader is standing in his path with her hip cocked and her fingers trailing over his arm. My gut tightens with jealousy at seeing some other girls’ hands on Theo. I can tell from here that she’s trying to sink her claws into him and I scowl at the idea of some other girl belonging to Theo. As I watch though, Theo shakes her off his arm and turns to head into the locker rooms.

I smile as I make my way down the stairs and join the other families as we wait for the players to come out of the locker room. I lean against the wall in my usual spot as we wait for Theo. We don’t have to wait long and soon Theo and his friend Austin are walking out of the locker room doors. His eyes seek me out immediately and I smile at him as he grins back at me and starts to jog over my way. I stand up straight when he gets close to me and I laugh when he wraps his arms around my waist, hugging me tight and spinning me in a small circle.

We beam down at each other for a minute before Theo’s dad interrupts us and pulls him into a hug, thumping him on the back as he tells him what a good game he played. My mom congratulates him next and then we all turn and make our way to the parking lot. We wave goodbye to our parents when they start to walk towards their car to the right and I head to Theo’s car with him.

He gets the door for me and waits until I’m settled inside before he closes the door, throwing his equipment in the trunk and then slipping behind the wheel. The traffic has started to thin out and we’re able to pull out of the school lot pretty quickly. Theo heads home and we pull in and are getting out of the car as our parents pull into the garage. I glance over and can clearly see the scowl etched onto both of their faces and I sigh. Tonight is going to be a long night of hearing them scream at each other and anxiety floods through me.

Theo slings his arm over my shoulders as he leads me into the house.

“We’ll be ok, Winnie.” He whispers in my ear as I slip past him and into the house.

Chapter Five

Theo

I close Winnie’s bedroom door behind me, trying to drown out my dad and step-moms yelling. They used to try to hide their fights but over the last year things have gotten worse and worse and now it’s like they don’t care who knows how miserable they are. I wish that they would just split up already. Then I could date Winnie without anyone thinking it was weird because she’s my stepsister.

She’s never felt like my sister, step or otherwise, but most people just wouldn’t get that. They would hear that our parents were married and think that it was wrong but there has never been anything wrong with how I feel about Winnie. She’s always been mine and I’ve always been hers. Nothing will ever change that.

Winnie collapses back onto her bed and I set my drink down onto the bedside table before passing her the bowl of popcorn. She pulls herself up to sitting before she grabs the bowl from me.

“Ok, Monty Python or The Princess Bride?” She asks as she reaches for the remote.

“Princess Bride.” I say right away.

“As you wish.” She says back cheekily.

Winnie and I both love older British movies and I know that The Princess Bride is her favorite. She smiles over at me as she clicks the buttons, bringing up the movie. She presses play and we both settle in. I throw her blanket over us as she grabs another pillow to prop herself up. She puts the bowl of popcorn between us and I scoot closer to her as the opening scene starts to play.

Our arms and legs are pressed up against each other and I’m amazed at the fireworks that still go off after all these years when I touch her. We finish the popcorn in the first half hour and Winnie sets it down on the bedside table before she settles back next to me.  We both scoot further down the bed so that we’re laying instead of sitting up. I wrap my arm around her shoulder when she rests her head on my chest and I can’t help myself any longer. I tip my head down and breathe in the scent of her clementine shampoo before I kiss the top of her head.

She tilts her head up to smile at me and suddenly, her lush lips are so close. They’re a breath away from mine and the temptation is too much. I have to know what they feel like. Does she taste like clementine’s too?

I lean down and brush my lips over hers before I can second guess myself. I’ve waited years, my whole life to kiss Winnie Vaughn and I can’t wait any longer. Winnie moans into my mouth as her lips part under mine. I’ve never kissed anyone before and I wasn’t sure what to expect but this is so much better than I could have ever imagined. Winnie’s lips are firm under mine and when my tongue slips into her mouth it’s me who moans into her mouth. She tastes like popcorn and something sweet and I’m instantly addicted.

I roll Winnie onto her back under me as my hands come up to rest next to her head. I hold most of my weight off of her. Our lips never break apart and soon I feel Winnie’s hands as they find their way into my hair. She pulls me down closer to her and her legs spread to wrap around my hips. We both moan then and my brain struggles to remember every detail of this. I can’t believe that I’m finally kissing my girl.

It’s hard for me to believe that this is really happening. I’ve spent so long dreaming and fantasizing about kissing Winnie and being with her that I’m worried that I’m going to wake up any minute and realize that this is all just another dream.

I want to tell her that I love her, that she’s all I’ll ever want or need and that I want to be the same for her but I don’t want to scare her off. I know that the fact that our parents are married makes everything messy. I don’t know what I would do if I told her how I felt and she rejected me. Everything would be ruined between us and I already know that I couldn’t survive without Winnie in my life.

I tried that before when our parents had first gotten married and I had gone to live with my mom while Winnie lived with her dad. Everyone was pretty pissed off and upset when everything went down and we both wanted to get away from the new happy couple. Neither of us lasted long.

Three weeks without Winnie and I was starting to lose my mind. I wanted to see her and talk to her every day and not just on the phone. I needed to see her with my eyes. To make sure that she was ok and was safe. We both moved back in with my dad and her mom a week after that. Living with Winnie was a dream but seeing my dad and her mom together made things awkward.

I debate in my head if I should tell her I love her or not when she starts to rock her hips against mine. My cock was already hard but feeling her moving against me has me almost spilling in my jeans. I bite back a moan as she grinds against my hard length and I’m about to start rocking against her when a door slams down the hall.

We both pull apart as our parents continue to fight down the hallway. I collapse next to her on the bed and we both try to catch our breath. I look over at Winnie to see her face is flushed and her lips are swollen. My cock is still painfully hard but I think the mood has been ruined.

I try to think of something to say but come up empty and I notice that Winnie is refusing to look at me. I decide to just let it go for right now and we both settle down to finish watching the movie. The opening credits start to roll across the screen and my eyes feel heavy. I look down to Winnie is fast asleep, curled up next to me.

I know that I should probably go back to my own room but I’m weak when it comes to Winnie and I’m not willing to miss out on the chance of feeling her wrapped up in my arms tonight. I slip my arm around her waist as I slide my body behind hers, spooning her smaller form against mine.

Winnie snuggles further into me and sighs happily as my warmth surrounds her. I kiss the top of her head again before I bury my face in her neck and breathe in her scent. I already know that, like every other night, I will dream about Winnie and the life I hope that we have with each other someday. Hopefully, someday soon.

I close my eyes and drift off to the comforting feeling of Winnie laying curled up in my arms. I listen to her even breathings until mine match hers and I finally let sleep pull me under.

Chapter Six

Winnie

I wake up with Theo wrapped around me and I smile to myself and I snuggle deeper into him trying to soak up the last few minutes before he wakes up and leaves. Theo and I usually fall asleep together after our Friday night movie nights but after our kiss last night, I wonder if he stayed for a different reason now.

That kiss last night took me completely by surprise. No one has ever even tried to kiss me before and I’m suddenly glad that no one else has ever shown interest in me. It feels right that my first kiss was with Theo. Boy, was it hot too. I swear that my lips were tingling for an hour afterwards.

I study Theo’s face as he sleeps, brushing a few loose strands of hair off of his forehead. He looks peaceful with his eyelashes resting gently against his cheeks. His lips are parted slightly and I can feel his warm breath as it fans over my face.

My eyes linger on his lips and I remember how they felt when they were moving over mine last night. It was my first kiss and I wonder if it was his too. He’s never gone out with anyone; Theo would have told me or I would have heard gossip around school if he had a girlfriend or had taken someone out.

He actually spends most of his time with me. If he’s not in class or at football practice then he’s with me. I’m the same way. If I’m not with him then I’m in class or I’m watching him at football practice. I’ve never had many friends, besides Theo, and my only girl friend moved away last year.

The longer I stare at him the more something dawns on me.

We love each other.

I thought that he loved me when we were kids and I even thought that he was going to tell me that he loved me, as more than a friend, when we were younger. I can still remember how he showed up at my house with a bouquet of flowers on the day that our parents told us they had been having an affair. He had looked so devasted and I had been too, our parents were divorcing after all. I was upset over that but also because whatever I could have had with Theo couldn’t be now.

I’ve never stopped loving him though. I could just never get those feelings to go away. With the way that he’s acting, and that kiss last night, I wonder if he still loves me too. What popular eighteen-year-old boy has never had a girlfriend or been on a date? I’ve seen girls at school and they all practically throw themselves at him but he’s never once shown interest in them.

I wonder if I should say something to him. We’re going to leave for college soon so if things went badly, then at least I wouldn’t have to see him for that much longer. If things went well, then maybe we could figure out a way to be together. We could go away to college where no one knew that we were step-siblings and finally be together.

On the other hand, if he doesn’t feel the same then not only would it be awkward between us, but I could lose Theo altogether. I can’t even picture my life without Theo in it. We couldn’t even last three weeks apart when we went to live with our other parents.

I bite my lip as I think over how to handle this. Theo starts to wake up and his eyes flutter open to meet mine. He smiles as his eyes meet mine before he glances down to my lips.

Looks like I’m not the only one remembering our kiss from last night.

Chapter Seven

Theo

I stare at Winnie’s lips as I remember our kiss from last night. Her tongue darts out and licks across her bottom lip and my cock starts to harden inside my boxers. She leans in closer to me and that’s a green light if I’ve ever seen one.

I close the gap between us and the same spark that I felt last night is there again. This time Winnie deepens the kiss right away, pushing her tongue past my lips and into my mouth to duel with mine. I moan as she rolls me onto my back and climbs on top of me. I had kicked my pants off before I fell asleep and it’s just her thin sleep shorts and tank top and my boxers separating us.

Her hips rock against mine and I know that she can feel my erection rubbing between us. The tip of my cock is starting to peek out of the top of my boxers and it rubs against her stomach where her shirt has ridden up. The feeling of her warm skin rubbing against my cock is the sweetest pleasure that I’ve ever felt.

Winnie grinds down on the base of my dick and the tip slips out even more from the waistband of my boxers. She gasps against my lips and I can’t hold back any longer. I’ve wanted this girl my whole life and feeling her rubbing herself on top of me while she gasps and moans in pleasure has me hotter than I’ve ever been in my life and I can’t keep it together any longer. I groan as I come all over the both of us.

Winnie moans as she grinds herself down on top of me and I can feel her wetness through our thin layers of clothes. She leans back and I can see my come where it coats her bare stomach and soaked into her shirt. I’m hard again all over at the sight.

“Winnie! Theo! Breakfast!” My step-mom calls from downstairs and both of our bodies tense as we scramble out of her bed.

I tug on my clothes while Winnie rifles through her dresser for new ones. I’m about to head out of her room but I rush over to her one last time and spin her around, fitting my lips against hers and kissing her deep. She moans into my mouth and I slip my tongue past her lips one last time before I have to pull away and head to my own room.

I get changed and head downstairs to eat breakfast with my family. I wonder if they can feel the tension between us but then I realize that they’re too occupied arguing with each other to pay attention to their kids. Winnie and I eat in silence as our parents bicker at the other end of the table.

It’s Saturday, so we have the rest of the weekend to ourselves. Our parents are supposed to be going to some farmers market this morning and then a dinner with their friends tonight so Winnie and I should have the house to ourselves. I wonder if we’ll get to kiss again and I find myself staring across the table at her lips.

“What are you two planning on doing today?” My father asks us.

Kissing Winnie.

“Homework.” Winnie says right away.

“Yeah, I need to get caught up on some homework too and then I’ll probably just hang out around the house.”

Our parents’ nods as we start to clear away the dishes and say goodbye as they head for the door. We can hear them argue all the way out to the car and once again I hope that they’ll just split up already.

I help Winnie with the dishes and we stand silently at the sink as she washes and I dry. I want to talk to her, to tell her that I love her and I want her, that I’ve only wanted her, but I’m not sure how she’ll take it. As she hands me the last plate, I realize that I just need to man up already.

Winnie has to feel something for me or she wouldn’t have kissed me. She wouldn’t have let me kiss her twice or rubbed herself against me until we both came. I’ve waited too long to tell Winnie how I feel already. I’m not waiting any longer.

I watch as she lets the water out of the sink while I hang up the dish towel.

“Hey, Winnie?”

“Yeah?”

Deep breath, Theo. You can do this.

“I love you.”

Her body tenses up and she keeps staring at the floor.

“I’ve loved you for years, ever since we were kids. If our parents hadn’t screwed everything up then I would have asked you out a long time ago. They’re not even happy anymore and I can’t take it any longer. I don’t care if people think it’s weird. I want you, you’re all I’ve ever wanted and my feelings for you are never going to change.”

Winnie looks up at me with tears shining in her eyes and my heart drops. She’s going to tell me that she doesn’t feel the same way, that we can’t be together, and it’s going to break my heart. I try to steel myself for her rejection.

“I love you too.”

“Huh?” I ask, shocked.

“I love you too. I’ve loved you since we were kids but I just never knew how you felt and then when our parents got together it just made everything weird.”

“I know.” I say as I wrap my arms around her.

She wraps her arms around my waist too and smiles up at me.

“What do we do now?” She asks.

“I want to date you. I want you to be my girlfriend.”

“What will our parents say though? Or people at our school?”

I knew this would be a problem. We live in a small town and people will talk. I want to protect her from that and I know that once we go to college, we’ll be able to go public.

“What if we dated in secret? We wouldn’t have to tell anyone and, in a few months, we’ll be away from here and we can date in public.”

“You’ve thought this all through, huh?”

“Well I’ve had a couple of years to figure everything out.” I say with a chuckle.

She leans up on her tip toes and I bend down, meeting her lips in the middle. Her fingers tangle in my hair and pull me closer. This kiss feels different from the other ones we’ve shared and I know that it’s because now everything is out in the open between us and we’re finally on the same page. We’re finally together.

Winnie is finally mine.

Chapter Eight

Winnie

Theo and I have been dating in secret for the last two weeks. Not much has changed in our relationship except for the kisses and secret touches that we share now. He sneaks into my room every night now and we make out and cuddle until he has to sneak back to his own bed. We’ve just started to go beyond the kissing and cuddling in the last couple of days.

It started with him trailing his hands down my body while we were making out one night. He had slipped his hands under my shirt and trailed them up my stomach until he cupped my breasts. His deft fingers had pinched and played with my hard nipples until I was begging him for more. I could feel his hard length where it pressed against my hip as Theo rolled me onto my back and pushed my sleep shirt up to my shoulders.

His lips wrapped around my hard peak then and he laved the tight bud with his tongue before biting down gently on it. I moaned loud at the feeling and we both froze as we waited to see if our parents head heard me. Once the coast seemed clear, Theo had sucked my nipple back into his mouth while his other hand came up to cover my mouth. He had used his other hand and his lips, tongue, and teeth to drive me out of my mind that night.

That wasn’t the only time that Theo had to cover my mouth or whisper for me to be quiet. Turns out I’m pretty loud in bed but I can’t seem to help it. Having his mouth and hands on me always feels so good.

The next night we had gone a little further. I had slipped my hand into his athletic shorts and wrapped my hand around his hard cock. I was surprised at the feeling of him against my palm. His skin had been so soft and silky but I could feel the hard steel underneath the skin. Theo had shown me how to jerk him off, wrapping his fingers around mine and squeezing slightly while moving my hand up and down his length. I had jerked him off until he came, his sticky release coating my fingers and his shorts.

He returned the favor the next night, sliding his hand beneath the waistband of my shorts and slipping his fingers through my wet folds. His fingers had danced over my hard clit, rubbing it beneath his thumb in tight circles as his other digits slide down further and teased around my wet hole. My cream had coated his fingers instantly but it still stung when he pushed one finger inside of me. He had worked it in and out until I was used to the feeling before he tried to stretch me more by adding a second finger. His lips had covered mine then, eating up my moans and gasps of pleasure as my cream flooded out of me, running down his fingers and covering his hand.

He had pulled his fingers out and brought them to his mouth and I moaned again when I watched him lick my come from his digits. His eyes had darkened as they met mine and before I knew it, Theo was kissing down my body and pulling my shorts with him as he went. He threw my legs over his shoulder and I held my breath as I waited for him to taste me. He sat up though, passing me one of my pillows and grinning at me as I moved to hold it over my face.

He dove back between my thighs, licking and sucking his way up my center until his lips found my hard clit. He wrapped his lips around the hard nub and sucked it into his mouth and I was thankful for the pillow then. I screamed into it, holding it closer to my face as Theo flicked his tongue on my clit over and over and I came for the second time that night, this time all over his face.

He growled against my pussy and I tried to wiggle away when he took another lick at my sensitive flesh. Two orgasms so close together was apparently my limit and I gripped my fingers in his hair, pulling him away from my dripping slit. He had kissed up my body then and his lips hovered over mine when we heard a door slam down the hallway.

We thought that our parents were already asleep but I guess they were still up and fighting and we both froze as we listened to the footsteps in the hallway. Luckily, they didn’t try to check on us and we both breathed a sigh of relief as they moved further down the hallway. Theo had kissed me goodbye before he slipped from my bed and snuck back to his own room.

I have a feeling that this weekend is going to be when we finally go all the way. Our parents are leaving tonight for the weekend after Theo’s football game. Something about getting away and reconnecting with each other. I’m already predicting that their little vacation isn’t going to do anything to save the relationship. If anything, being locked away with only each other is just going to make them hate each other even more but I’m happy that Theo and I will have the house to ourselves.

I’m sitting in the stands between the two of them now as we wait for the final minutes of the game to play out. They’ve been ignoring each other for the entire game and I wonder for the millionth time why they are even still together.

Theo runs out onto the field and I cheer with the rest of the crowd as the players take their positions. We’re playing the Hartford Tigers tonight, our biggest competition, and the score is tied. Everyone is on the edge of their seats as the play is called and the ball snaps into Theo’s hands. He passes it to another player and they run it down to our end zone. They’re stopped before they can run it in though and the crowd groans as they wait for the next play.

We hold our breath as the ball is snapped back and Theo catches it, looking for an opening. When he can’t find one, he tucks the ball under his arm and charges through the opposing players and into the end zone. I’m on my feet and cheering for him a second later along with the rest of the crowd as the final buzzer sounds.

My parents and I make our way down the stands and wait for Theo outside the locker room. They’re going to tell him what a good game he had before they head out of town. We don’t have to wait long before Theo is rushing out of the locker room. He runs right to me and swings me up into his arms and spins me around. He starts to bend his head towards me and my body tenses, thinking that he’s going to kiss me right here in front of everyone. He seems to realize his mistake too because he jerks away from me and walks over to our parents.

They each hug him and congratulate him on the game and we walk with them back to their car. We hug them again and tell them to have fun on their trip but as I hug my mom goodbye, I notice that she doesn’t seem that excited about their vacation.

Theo leads me back to his car and helps me inside before he slips behind the wheel.

“Ready to go home?” He asks me as he starts the car.

“Absolutely.”

Chapter Nine

Theo

I take Winnie’s hand as we get out of the car and lead her into the house. I can feel the nervous tension fill the air around us and I search my brain desperately to think of something to say to get rid of it.

“We don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to, Winnie.”

“I know. I want you. I want this.” She says as she tightens her fingers around mine.

I lead us through the empty house and up the stairs to her room. I take a deep breath as I open her door and lead us inside. Winnie closes the door behind us and I can’t take the tension anymore. I back her up against the door and cup her face in my hands, bringing my lips softly down to hers. She leans up and fits her lips against mine. Our mouths move lazily against each other and the tension between us starts to dissolve, replaced with a growing hunger.

Winnie moans against my mouth and lets out a breathy sigh as I start to slowly kiss my way down her neck. I’ve pictured making love to Winnie so many times in the last years but having the real girl under my hands is already so much better than any of my fantasies. Winnie tilts her head, giving me more access to her neck and I bite down lightly where her shoulder meets her neck. Her hips push against mine and I can’t hold back the groan that’s been trying to claw its way out of my throat since her lips met mine.

Winnie’s fingers trail down my chest and over my abs to my belt buckle and I suck in a breath when I feel her tiny hands wrestling with the button. She finally gets it open and her fingers tickle slightly as she slips her hand into my boxers. My dick is already hard and straining against my boxers and jeans when her slim fingers wrap around my length. I moan again as she starts to move her hand over my cock just like I taught her.

Her other hand pushes my jeans and boxers down my leg and I kick my shoes off so that I can step out of my clothes. Winnie starts to pull my shirt up too and I get the message, grabbing the bottom and pulling it over my head to drop next to the pile of my other discarded clothes. Winnie kicks them to the side before she surprised me by dropping to her knees in front of me.

Winnie and I have done a lot of things over the last couple of days but a blow job hasn’t been one of them. I’ve jerked off so many times to this exact fantasy and it almost feels like maybe I’m still dreaming as Winnie leans forward and takes my tip into her mouth. My head falls back, hitting the door as she takes more of my cock into her mouth. It hits the back of her throat and she gags around my length. My hands immediately tangle in her hair, ready to pull her off of me but she pushes against my hand, taking me back into her mouth.

She starts up a steady pace with her mouth before she brings her hand up to join in. She wraps her fingers around the base of my cock and works it in tandem with her mouth and moans around my cock. Soon, my moans are joining hers and my cock starts to swell in her mouth. I know that I’m going to come soon and I try to warn her.

“Winnie, I’m close. You gotta stop.” I pant.

Winnie shakes her head before she sucks me into her mouth further. Her cheeks hollow out around me and I can’t take it any longer. My fingers tighten in her hair as I hold her still and come in her mouth. She swallows around my length and I moan as I try to keep myself standing upright.

I reach my hand down to help Winnie to her feet as I catch my breath. Her lips land on mine and my hands grip her waist as I back her up until we hit her bed. We tumble onto the mattress together and my hands work their way under her shirt. She helps me tug it up and over her head and throws it to the floor while my hands move to work on her jeans. She toes off her shoes and socks and unsnaps her bra while I work on her pants. I get them unbuttoned and she raises her hips so that I can tug them and her panties down her legs.

I take a second to admire her completely naked laying next to me on the bed. She’s beautiful, with small breasts that fit perfectly in my hands. They’re topped with rosy nipples that are already hard and begging for my mouth. Her waist is nipped in and then flows out to her rounded hips. Her pale thighs are already spread and I can just see a trace of wetness coating her thighs. He pussy is dusted in with pale curls and I can just see her hard clit as it peeks out from between her lips. I can’t wait to get my mouth back on her pussy. I can still remember the way she tasted and I’m excited to hear her sounds now that she doesn’t need to be quiet.

I pull up onto my elbows and hover over her. My eyes meet hers and she nods at me slightly. I kiss my way down her neck and hover over her right nipple. The bud is red and hardened and I see that a pink flush has worked its way down her chest. I lean forward and stick my tongue out, licking over her tight peak. She arches against my lips, trying to get me to take more of her into my mouth.

I happily oblige, sucking as much of her tit into my mouth as I can before I bring my fingers up to play with her other hard nipple. I pinch and tweak one nipple while I use my tongue and teeth on the other one. I switch back and forth between them until they’re both red and puffy from my attention. Winnie is out of breath already and I kiss her once more between her breasts before I make my way down her stomach to her little patch of curls.

I nudge her legs open wider and settle between them so that my mouth is level with her wet center. My mouth starts to water as I breathe her sweet scent in and I can’t hold back any longer. I lean forward and take one long slow lick up her center. Her hips jerk off the bed and I bring my hands up to hold her in place. My hands cup her ass and I hold her to my mouth as I move back between her legs, drinking up all of her nectar.

She’s loud and her cries echo off the walls. Hearing her pleasure has me hard all over again and I press my hips into the mattress, trying to ease the ache in my cock. I start to focus on her hard clit and my tongue traces circle around the sensitive nub. Her thighs start to lock around my head and I suck her button into my mouth, flicking it hard with my tongue. She goes off then, rubbing herself against my face. Her cream coats my mouth and chin and I try to lick up as much of it as I can.

I lick her through the rest of her orgasm before I place one last kiss on her clit and make my way back up her body. I fit the head of my cock inside her tight opening before my lips find hers. I kiss her as I push my way inside her tight pussy. I rock slowly, letting her get used to my size as I sink into her more and more. We move slowly together. The last thing I ever want to do is hurt my girl.

Finally, she’s taken all of me and I pause as my balls press up against her ass. I picture claiming that hole next and have to grit my teeth to keep from coming inside her already.               Her pussy feels like velvet wrapped around my cock and I bite my cheek as I pull my hips back, sliding out of her. She moans at the loss and her hips rise, trying to suck me back in. I thrust back into her and her tight pussy clamps down around me as I bottom out in her wet heat.

We settle into a steady rhythm and I can already feel my balls starting to pull up into my body as the familiar tingle starts at the base of my spine.

I’m about to come with Winnie. I’ve wanted this forever and it feels like a dream come true that it’s finally happening. I can feel Winnie’s pussy start to tighten around me until it feels like a vice around my cock.

“Winnie. Fuck!” I moan as I start to come deep inside of her.

Winnie throws her head back, screaming my name up to the ceiling as she comes around my hard length. I hold myself still deep inside of her as I fill her up with my seed. We lay together, a thin sheen of sweat dotting our skin as we try to catch our breath.

I slip out of her and watch as a small stream of our releases slips out after. There are traces of blood on my cock and covering the inside of her thighs. I climb out of bed and go into the bathroom, getting a wash cloth and wetting it in the sink before I come back to the bedroom and help her clean up.

She smiles up at me sleepily and I lean down and kiss her once more before I slip into bed behind her. I pull her into my arms and kiss her forehead before she settles on my chest.

“I love you, Winnie.”

“I love you, Theo.”

I listen to her breathing as it evens out and I think about what tonight means. Winnie and I are finally together. We were each other’s firsts and if I have it my way, we’ll be each other’s only. I won’t let anyone stand in the way of us being together. I will never love another girl and I know that Winnie feels the same about me. We’re meant to be and we’re going to figure this out. Together.

Chapter Ten

Theo

Four Years Later…

I stand from the auditorium chair, cheering as they call Winnie’s name and she walks across the stage. My girl is graduating from college today and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. I’m so proud of her and I cheer louder as she gets her diploma and smiles wide as she walks down the stairs.

I sit down for the rest of the ceremony and try to ignore the subtle glares that Winnie’s mom keeps shooting at me. She filed for divorce from my dad a month after we graduated high school.  It was finalized a week before we left for college and we waited until then to tell them that we were dating. They didn’t take it well but by then we were close to leaving and we haven’t had to deal with them much in the last couple of years. They’re both too self-obsessed to care much about what is going on in our lives anyway.

I was drafted into the NFL two years ago and I proposed to Winnie before I left. We were waiting until she graduated before we had the wedding and it’s planned for two weeks from today. The last two years of being away from Winnie while I trained with the team have been rough but now it will all be worth it. I have enough money to support us and I’m finally going to get to have my girl with me again.

Winnie took classes year-round so that she could graduate early and we could be together again. She had come up on her last winter break and we had gone house hunting. I was drafted to the New England Patriots and at first, I was worried that the cold would be too much for my girl. When she came up for Christmas though, she seemed to love it. She loved the old town and all of the history of the city and I loved that she was happy.

We had finally found the perfect townhouse in the center of downtown Boston and I’m excited to finally share it with Winnie. We had decorated it together but it still seemed empty without her there.

The ceremony finally ends and I’m the first one on my feet and heading down the stairs. It’s been far too long since I’ve had my arms wrapped around Winnie and I have to hold myself back from pushing people out of my way. After what feels like forever, I finally see my girl up ahead. She’s pushing her way through the crowd too and she grins when her eyes finally lock on mine.

In the next instant, my arms are wrapped around her and I’m dragging her up my body so that my lips can meet hers. Her arms wrap around my shoulders while I hold her suspended above the ground. She tastes like home and I never want to let her go but soon her parents are standing with us and we have to.

They congratulate her and we all walk out of the auditorium together. Her parents still don’t get along and I’m actually a little surprised that they made it through the ceremony without tearing into each other. They’re both headed home now and I’m taking Winnie out to dinner to celebrate, just the two of us. We’ll catch our flight to Boston tomorrow but for tonight I just want to get lost in my girl.

“I’m so proud of you, Winnie.” I whisper in her ear as I help her into the rental car.

She blushes as I close the door and head around the hood to get behind the wheel. I lean across the center console and cup her cheek in my hand, tugging her closer to me. Her lips meet mine and I push my tongue into her mouth, getting lost in her taste. I have to pull back when we’re both out of breath and I rest my forehead against hers.

“I love you, Winnie.”

“I love you, Theo.”

I’ve married Winnie Vaughn 126 times in my life and in two weeks I’ll make it 127 times. I know that our love story isn’t traditional but since it got me Winnie, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The End.
