Chapter 36: Firsts

KARA

Two weeks have passed since Jason and I had our mini getaway to the cabin. I felt like I’ve transformed into a whole new person. I guess having sex for the first time does that.

After we returned to school that following Monday, I found out that Sarah had been suspended.

I thought everyone was going to make some kind of a big deal out of what happened, but everyone thought that she had made the story up out of jealousy.

I was luckily in the clear.

When I returned home, I asked my mom if she knew Sarah’s dad. Turns out her parents divorced for different reasons, and her dad didn’t start dating until months after the split.

He and my mom went on a few dates but found that neither of them was ready yet.

Sarah found out about one of their dates and knew it was my mom, so she wanted to hold that over my head since she’d already disliked me since middle school.

Now I was dating Jason, and things were going uphill. It was nice to feel completely okay for once.

I felt way more than okay, actually. I felt amazing and carefree. My mom was herself again, my brother was with me, and I had Jason and my friends by my side.

“Are you guys down to do something fun?” Jason asked while peeking over at me.

I was currently in the passenger seat next to Jason, with Milo and Layla in the back. Charlie, Liam, Quintin, and Jess were in Charlie’s Jeep following behind us.

We had just gone out to eat to celebrate Jess’s eighteenth birthday.

She was the baby of the group.

Jason continued to drive through the woods to who knows where. We had let him decide what to do next, since he was good with surprises.

The sky was dark now, and the stars were shining brightly. It was a cool night, and the windows were down, my hair blowing everywhere.

Jason stopped once we arrived at an open field. Charlie parked next to us. We all got out of the car, curiously waiting for Jason to explain why we were in the middle of nowhere.

The trees around the field made it look darker out. I’d be blind if it weren’t for the moon’s glow.

Jason was the last one to get out of the car. Walking to the trunk, he popped it open and grabbed a large blue duffel bag. He proceeded to walk onto the field without acknowledging any of us.

Jason stopped once he was in the middle and waited until we were all there with him. “You guys ready?” he asked. I wrapped my hoodie closer to me to stay warm.

“Damn it, Kade, just tell us already. Stop being so dramatic.” My brother glared at Jason, but we all just laughed at him. He looked ridiculous with his earmuffs, thanks to me.

I purposely had brought them because Charlie hated the cold weather. The earmuffs that I had brought were from when I was about twelve. They were pink and covered in sparkles and had small, shiny gold stars.

“Patience, princess.” Jason grinned back at my grumpy brother, which caused me to laugh. Charlie shot me a glare. I stuck my tongue out at him.

“I’m about to light up your night,” Jason said before kneeling down in front of the duffel bag. He opened the mystery bag, and the guys immediately cheered in excitement.

“I said let’s try not to get arrested,” Layla repeated as she stared down at the massive—and definitely illegal—fireworks. There had to be at least a dozen different types of fireworks, both big and small.

“Well?” Jason stared around at all of us with his gorgeous blue eyes. “Let’s light them up.” He grabbed a random firework that I attempted to read but failed due to the darkness.

Jason and Charlie walked away and began to set the firework up. The rest of us kept our distance because we didn’t know what type of firework it was.

I saw a faint orange glow in front of Charlie, alerting us that he had lit it. Not even a second later, the two of them ran toward us, and the firework came to life.

“Wow,” Jess and I said at the same time. It was satellite-shaped, appearing like a mini UFO.

It had orange sparkles coming out from around the edge, and it shot up straight into the sky with a whiz, and then finally crackled midair.

“Where’d he get those?” Jess laughed as she pointed to the bag of illegal fireworks.

“No clue, but I’m not surprised he has them.” I rolled my eyes at the arrogant boy who was grinning next to me. I knew he could hear me, but he was pretending to be focused on the fireworks.

“He’s the second most charming guy I know,” I added, and Jess tried to hold back her laughter.

“Second?” Jason muttered. I turned back to see that he was narrowing his eyes at me. I nodded my head and couldn’t help but laugh at his irritated expression.

My eyes lingered on my boyfriend. Jason was wearing a gray hoodie and dark jeans. His blond hair was a mess, like always, and his nose was slightly pink from the cold air.

My mouth was slightly watering. I wanted him to push me up against a tree and take me.

Jason then smirked. “Guess I have to go practice on other girls so I can improve.” My face immediately dropped, showing irritation.

Jess and Layla burst out laughing beside me. Jason walked over, squeezing me in his arms.

“I’m just kidding, and I know you are, too, because let’s be honest—I’m the most charming guy you’ve ever met.”

I rolled my eyes at him, shivering in delight as he kissed my neck in return. He was too cocky sometimes, and it irritated me that he wasn’t wrong.

“Can you not?” I heard Charlie mutter, sounding disgusted. I glanced at my older brother, who was shivering from the cold air while glaring at the two of us.

“Aw, is my princess jealous? Come here.” Jason reached out his arms and began to chase Charlie around the open field.

I was glad that those two were friends again. Charlie was still proud that he’d punched Jason, though, and didn’t regret it. They’d made up after I explained the whole situation to Charlie.

“I guess we’ll take over.” Quintin and Liam both stood up and walked over to the bag. I could hear them talking, excited over which firework to pick next.

“Boo!” I jumped in surprise when Jason came up from behind me and grabbed my waist. I craned my neck in order to meet his eyes. Even in the dark, they were so illuminating.

“Come here.” Jason grabbed my hand, leading me toward the forest. I followed him away from my friends, who were watching us with amusement.

Jason continued for a few minutes, stopping once we were surrounded by large trees. “I finally have you to myself.” A gasp escaped my lips when he pushed me up against a tree and began to kiss me.

After the surprise subsided, I began to kiss him back passionately. I’d been wanting to do this all night. It was torture not being able to touch him.

“I’ve been wanting to do this since I picked you up.” Jason kissed my neck. My eyes fluttered closed as I felt his hand grip my ass roughly. “You look fucking sexy in that skirt.” I had purposely picked it to tease him.

“Do I?” I feigned innocence. Jason nibbled below my jawline and pressed his hard cock against my hip. “Quickie?” he whispered into my ear, causing goosebumps to erupt all over my skin. I giggled in response.

We both immediately began to fumble at the zipper of his jeans. His cock quickly sprang free and my hand wrapped around him, causing Jason to moan.

I loved being able to do that to him.

Jason pulled out a condom, sliding it on. Once it was on properly, he closed the distance. “Fuck, Kara.” Jason grabbed under my thighs and lifted me in one swift motion.

My back pressed against the tree, my arms around his shoulder. Jason slid one hand under my ass, and the other to move my panties aside.

My pussy clenched as I felt his tip press against my entrance. Once he was aligned, his other hand returned to my ass to hold me up. Jason then pushed deep into me. I moaned as he filled me entirely.

“Yes,” I moaned out as Jason adjusted and began to pump in and out of me quickly.

My nipples hardened underneath my bra. The feeling of Jason’s warm hands against my bare ass added to my heat. The bliss in my lower abdomen began to grow.

“Jason,” I moaned as he used his large hands to bounce me up and down on his cock, hitting my G-spot perfectly.

“Careful,” Jason groaned as he pumped quicker. “Hearing you say my name makes me want to cum inside you.”

With my own climax near, I said, “Fuck me harder, Jason.” His hands gripped my ass roughly, holding me tighter as he fucked me up against the tree.

I used my weight to grind down against his pelvis, pushing me over. I moaned loudly as my pussy tightened around his cock, cumming.

Jason’s hands tightened as he stilled inside me. We remained in the same position as we both panted, trying to regain our breath.

“That was fun,” I giggled as he pulled out of me and gently set me back down on my feet. Now that I was out of my sex-induced frenzy, my back began to ache from being pressed into the tree.

Jason nodded, still out of breath. “There’s more.”

I raised a curious eyebrow at him, but he replied by giving me a grin. Jason grabbed my hand and pulled me to another tree across a clearing.

He let go as he grabbed a branch that was about four feet from the ground. Once he had climbed it, he helped me up.

I followed Jason as we continued climbing up the tree, branch by branch. The next thing I knew, we were almost at the top. I would’ve gone higher, but the branches were way too far apart.

“Look,” Jason finally said. I glanced away from the branches and to our surroundings.

The air in my lungs left, my lips parted in awe. I could see the city lights off in the distance. The night didn’t seem so dark anymore.

Instead, the city lights gave us some light from afar. They twinkled against Jason’s blue eyes.

“My dad and I used to come here when I was little.” I imagined a tiny Jason, and my lips formed into a smile.

I turned to stare at Jason, whose eyes were glued to me. It was such an intense stare that chills ran down my spine.

Without thinking, I asked, “What did you think of me when you first saw me?”

Jason stared at me for a few moments before responding quietly. I almost didn’t hear him because of the fireworks that they were still setting off.

The colorful lights reflected off of his eyes. It was a picture-perfect moment.

“I thought you were stunning.” Nothing in that moment could’ve made me feel more alive. My heart was full of so much love and joy I wanted to puke.

But of course, my brother just had to ruin the moment.

“GRAND FINALE!” Charlie screamed from a distance. His voice echoed across to us. Luckily, they couldn’t see us, though. “It’s a girandole!” my brother screamed.

Instead of getting down, we remained sitting on the thick branch. We heard a loud hissing sound before we saw anything.

Jason and I watched as the sparking light slowly came to life, and it lifted off the ground. It looked like it was hovering, and then it began to spiral slowly before going faster and faster.

I watched in awe as the firework took off into the air and loudly popped, filling the dark sky.

“That was amazing,” I heard Jess scream. I was ecstatic that she was enjoying her night. Jason definitely knew how to give us a good time.

“Let’s all go to the cabin tomorrow? We have a four-day weekend to enjoy.” Jason leaned in to kiss me. I grinned against his soft lips, nodding in response.

“We’re going to win the prank war this time.” He pulled away, giving me his trademark smirk.

I gave him one of my own.

“Remember what happened last time? We wouldn’t want that happening again, would we?”

I laughed as he grimaced from the memory. I also remembered that Jason and I had confessed our feelings during our first trip to the cabin. I’ll never forget that day.

A lot has happened between us at that cabin. Our first confession, our first kiss, our first time saying I love you, and our first time having sex. ~So many firsts.~

We began to climb down from the tree and trekked back to join the rest of the group to tell them our idea about the cabin.

After enjoying the fireworks, we all drove to Jess’s house to enjoy the rest of our night. Her mom made her special tamales for the weekend.

Charlie started the Jeep and turned on some music, roaring away with the windows down. I laid my head against Jason’s firm shoulder, and he kissed the top of my head in return, following Charlie’s Jeep.

To think that I almost turned down Jason’s offer of trying to be friends. Life would’ve been dull.

Taking the risk was worth it.
