Married to My Enemy

I donned sweat pants and a hoodie over the pair of boxer briefs I had slept in. With keys and cell phone in my pocket and headphones in my ears, I headed out the door.

I ran for several miles before my mind cleared and I was just able to enjoy the crisp early morning air.

I returned to my apartment just after six AM and immediately headed for the shower to wash off the sweat from my skin.

The heated water beat down on my head and shoulders. Hands braced against the tiled wall and head down, I was able to think about something other than death and war and of course, my thoughts turned to Hailey.

Instantly, my dick became hard and my heart beat quickened for an entirely different reason. My eyes closed and I imagined her face as she orgasmed on top of me. The image filled every corner of my mind, chasing away the shadows it held moments ago. I had wanted to spend the rest of the night bringing that look of bliss to her face. Our time together had ended far too soon.

After our friends with benefits agreement less than twelve hours ago, she had answered her cell phone instead of continuing our interlude. After a whispered conversation that had me all kinds of jealous, she hightailed it out of my apartment without an explanation.

I hadn’t asked if she was seeing anyone. Was that her reason for resisting the obvious connection between us? She made me fucking crazy. I just wanted her for myself.

Eyes still closed, I wrapped my mind in the passion we shared earlier. I remembered the hot silken feeling of being inside her snug body. I remembered the way she responded to my every touch and word. She had been so open and generous with her wants. With her body. In her eyes, I thought I saw my every desire, physical and otherwise, reflected there.

I could come from just remembering those few stolen moments we had.

I didn’t remember grabbing hold of my dick but I hissed from the contact of my hand on the pulsing flesh.

My soapy hand gripped my swollen length tight and stroked hard. My hips jerked to the movements of my hand. My release rushed towards the surface.

“Hailey,” I groaned her name as I came. The sound was drawn out and low. Filled with longing.

My

cum spurted from me, mixing with the falling water to run down the drain. It felt like I came forever yet it was over far too soon.

Energy suddenly depleted I sagged against the wall then looked down at myself ruefully.

My cock was still hard and pulsing like an angry snake. Despite my orgasm, I was still aroused, my fist a poor imitation of the heated clasp of her body.

After my release within Hailey’s body, my heart told me what I already knew but didn’t want to admit. I still had feelings for her. I was an idiot to have ever let her go but I wasn’t going to let her get away from me a second time.

My normal defenses were down once I found satisfaction in her body and I began imagining how things would be like they used to be. Better in fact, if the way we just fucked was any indication.

Then I looked in her eyes, saw the regret and knew my little fantasies were just that… Fantasies.

I was hung up on this woman like nobody’s business and all she wanted to do was get away from me.

Was this my penance for handling her heart so callously in the past?

Before she even said us being together was a mistake I knew she would. It still felt like a knife to my heart hearing it though.

I panicked and blurted out the first thing that came to my mind.

“Let’s be friend with benefits,” I had said.

It felt wrong saying it but having a small piece of her was better than having nothing at all.

I would settle for any piece she chose to share with me.

For now.

I told her I would keep my emotions out of it but that was just a promise I could not keep. I needed a plan to win her over. I got out of the shower and towel dried my body. While my mind schemed, I got dressed and headed out. I would grab a bite to eat then head to the library to put in a few hours of studying.

My school bag was on my back when I closed the front door behind me.

It was a new day. The sun was out and even after the terrible way the night ended with Hailey, I was optimistic.
