I woke up a few hours later by someone gently shaking my arm, rubbing my eyes I noticed Simon next to me. We arrived back at the base and he helped me out of the heli before everybody went back to their rooms. Since it was the middle of the night, we decided to have some shut eyes and have a meeting the next morning to discus what we had learned.
The next morning, after taking a quick shower and getting dressed, I walked into the conference room to meet up with the other team members. We all sat around the table while Price talked about the mission. In the meantime I was handed back the USB that Soap was able to place in one of their laptop, I had programmed it so that it would attach itself into their main system the moment he plugged it in, now even when the USB is here, I can still excess it.
Price asked me to hack into their system and find anything that could lead me to these Chinese PMC's or a warehouse that they use to stash their weapons. In the meantime they made a plan on how to stop them once I located their location.
After the meeting was dismissed, Price asked me to stay back for a little while to have a talk. After everybody left, I sat back down on the seat opposite of him. He gave me the worried fatherly look, which I've began to see more with him.
I couldn't blame him, he's been there for me every since I got kidnapped the first time and has done everything he could to keep me safe. It's more then my own father ever did. It's also why I feel so guilty for keeping this secret for him, but something told me he already knew.
"Ashley I like you, you're like a daughter I never had." He took a deep sigh before he continued. "I'm not really good at these kind of talks but I want you to know that I care about you and that I'm here for you if you ever want to talk about anything."
A warm feeling of security entered my body, giving me the sense of a safe home where I could just say what was on my mind without being judged or where whatever I say won't be used against me. It was something new, something I wasn't used to nor was that allowed when growing up. All I ever heard was that my feelings were invaluable and nobody cared.
Placing my shaking hands on my lap, I started playing with my ring to distract myself from those bad thoughts. My gaze was locked onto the ground in front of me, I was to scared that if I look Price in the eyes that I wouldn't be able to contain my feelings.
"I-..."
I tried to speak but a lump in my throat made it hard. A little voice in by head, sounding a lot like my dad's, was telling me to keep my emotions inside and don't overreact. To just say that I was fine and move onto more important matters.
As if he saw my internal struggle, he moved to sit right next to me and placed his hand on my knee in a reassuring way. He smiled at me and patiently waited for me to find the courage to speak to him. I took another deep breath to calm down my racing heart.
"Can you just answer my question honestly?" He asked me but I was only able to affirm with a nod. "Is something going on with you and Simon?"
My eyes widened, how did he know about that, was it obvious? So many thought came to my mind that I could hardly think. I should just tell him, he is so supportive and won't get mad, right? I said to myself. It's not that hard, just say we are something. But what are we guys even, it's not like we're dating, can't really say 'yes we're fucking'. Would Simon be mad if I told Price?
"It's complicated, but yes we care about each other and not just in a teammates kind of way." I cringed hearing myself speak and wanted to slap myself against the head. This is how you describe your relationship with Simon? well done.
He looked at me for another minute, looking like he is deep in thoughts. The longer he stayed silent the longer I was panicking from the inside. He noticed that I started bouncing my leg so he was quick to continue. "Is that what the younger generation calls dating now?"
I couldn't stop the chuckle from leaving my mouth, the mood the instantly lightened and I felt safe enough to explain what had happened between us and how I felt about it. But I also told him we didn't put a label on it so it's still confusing.
He had listened to every word I said like I told him something important like the code to a nuclear weapon. Hearing my explanation, I think he understood our situation. I didn't go into details about our sex life or something like that, but talking about my feelings did make me realize some things. I just really need to talk to Simon soon.
"Well, I uhm-... I'm happy for you guys. He deserves someone good, someone that will care for him and so do you. Just be careful alright? You both have been through a lot so be patient with each other, that is all the advice I can give you."
A smile creeped on my lips when I heard him speaking to me like a concerned father. The great captain of task force 141, fierce and feared soldier, giving me relationship advice. Nobody would ever believe me if I told them.
I gave him a strong nod before he pulled me in for a hug and all the stress left my body, my muscles instantly relaxed in his embrace. I really needed this and somehow he always knew what I needed. He was truly a dad I never had and I don't think I could ever think him enough.
"Price? We're still keeping this thing between us. Except for Soap nobody knows so if you could not tell the others?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Thanks, for everything. I don't know what I would've done without you." I said with the most genuine smile on my face, appreciation and love filled in my heart for him. He really had been there for me since the beginning. Protected me not only from the enemy but even from Graves and Shepard. "Just so you know, you're great at this."
I heard a laughter escaped his mouth before we both got up and I followed him out of the conference room. He went to his office and we said goodbye. It was time I talked to Simon about my feelings and I figured I should just get it over with.
I stopped by his room to look for him but he wasn't there. After that I went to my own room, hoping to quickly shower before continuing my search. When I opened the door to my room I saw Simon sitting on my bed holding onto one of the shirts I sleep in, it was technically his shirt that I stole after the first time we slept together, but sharing is caring.
I stood in the opening of my door, I don't think he noticed I was there. My brows raised and an amused smile was on my face. He looked so cute on my tiny bed that we barely fit into together but somehow it seemed big when we were laying down next to each other.
"Are you going to keep staring like a creep or actually come and greet me?" He said finally looking up at me.
A blush made its way on my cheeks, a little embarrassed I was caught eye fucking him. Since he is in a good mood, I decided to tease him a little, the man has no patience and one of my favorite things to do is tease him. I put on a straight face and greeted him with a simple hello before I made my way towards my bathroom, closing the door behind me. In my head I counted to three, and on cue the door flew open right when I was lifting up my shirt, slowly undressing so I could take a shower.
"Hello?! That is not how we greet each other." The annoyance was clearly visible in his voice, it became even higher when he walked in on me undressing myself. His eyes were roaming over my body before he found his words again. "I encourage the stripping part but aren't you forgetting something?"
He pointed towards his face like I had just skipped the most important part of a mission, causing it to fail. I loved how he was so serious about something this small, it proved once again that he needed the affection as much as I did.
I took a step closer towards him and gently placed my hands on his chest before I moved them up towards the back of his neck, slightly pulling him in for a kiss. I nearly forgot I was in only my underwear until I felt his warm hands move over every inch of my body.
His arm wrapped around my waist and he kissed me back harder. His tongue fighting with mine for dominance. A soft moan left my lips once I pulled away for air. "Was that more to your taste?"
"Better," He held my gaze with an intense stare that made my knees weak. "you were stripping without letting me watch?"
I rolled my eyes and continued to undress in front of him. "I'm going to take a shower."
"Great lets go." He was already taking off his jacket before I stopped him. Disbelief was shown in his eyes.
"You can't shower, you had stitches remember?"
"But we always shower together?" He put on his best puppy dog eyes, acting like a little kid who was being told no for the first time. I could see the sadness in his eyes when he realized I was being serious, I don't want his wound to get infected. "Can I at least watch?"
I started to chuckle before I removed the last of my clothing and got into the shower. I let the hot water run over me and when I turned around I saw him leaning against the door and taking in every part of my body.
I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous while he just stood there watching me when I was completely naked and he wasn't. It was stupid to feel nervous, it's not like he hasn't seen me naked before, yet this new way was also a good kind of nervous.
But the smile on his face and the hunger in his eyes made those insecure feelings go away and replaced them with a ache at my core. I tried to push away those feelings and started washing my hair, giving Simon a clear view of my breast while I was doing it.
After that I applied some Soap and started to wash my body, touching every part of my skin and leaving foam on it's track. It must have turned him on because I saw him shifting his weight onto his other leg while still having his eyes glued to my bare chest.
"You're killing me here, I give you 5 seconds to get out before I go in there and punish you for being such a tease."
I already knew he was being serious and would do it if he had the chance. He was staring deeply into my eyes and not long after that I could hear him count out loud.
"One"
"Two"
I continued to wash my body, pretending not to hear him but I found myself still hurrying up. It didn't help that with every count, he took a step closer towards the glass door of the shower. I knew that the door couldn't hold Simon, nobody could once he put his mind to something.
"Three"
"Four"
It was stupid, call it curiosity but I really wanted to know what kind of punishment he had in mind, the thought alone had me pressing my tights closer together. I turned around and looked deeply into his eyes through the glass, my chest continued to rise and fall once my breathing became heavier.
"Five..." He immediately was at the entrance of the shower and opens the door with a big swing before he reached into the shower to grabs me, not caring that the clothes he was wearing would get wet. I tried to struggle a little but he was way too strong for me and in one quick move he threw my still dripping wet naked body over his shoulder and walked out of the bathroom.
He moved closer towards the bed and carefully threw me on it, he followed behind, crawling on the bed until he completely towered over me. His big presence and hungry eyes made me sulk deeper into the matrass.
His eyes never leaving my own, I could feel his hand moving up from my hip towards my neck, stroking my skin until he grabbed my neck and slightly squeezed it before his lips brushed mine. It wasn't a sweet and gentle kiss, no it was passionate and dominant like he was in charge and going to do whatever he'd like.
He grabbed my wrists and pulled them above my head, pinning them there while his mouth trailed down my skin, leaving gentle kissing on it's path. A cold breeze lade my skin shiver and it turned my nipples instantly hard. I think he noticed it because he removed his mouth from the base of my neck and pulled one of them into his mouth while he squeezed the other one with his free hand. The intense feeling of his mouth sucking and even biting on my nipple left me with another shiver that went straight to my spine.
I was so focused on the pleasure he was giving me that I didn't realize that his hand went towards his pants, undoing his belt and bringing it up so he could tie my hands together. Once he finished, he sat up straight to look at me satisfied with his masterwork, viewing how I was laying underneath him, unable to move.
He didn't wait for long until his mouth left more kisses on my skin, going from in between my breasts towards my stomach. He moved back to the end of the bed so he could station himself in between my legs, pulling one of my legs over his shoulder while he placed kisses all over the length of my leg up to my inner thigh. By now I was dripping wet and desperate to feel him inside of me but he loved taking his time, I guess that was my punishment for teasing him.
His tongue moved all the way down my slit, leaving my body flustered. His mouth went around my clit before he started sucking hard, my hands went to his hair but with his one hand he took mine back to the side, denying me to touch him. Soon after that he inserted two fingers inside me and started pumping. The intense feeling made me throw my head back further into the pillow but I felt how he bit my clit as a warning.
"Eyes on me."
I immediately looked him into his eyes and he continued, his eyes locked on me how I watched how he feasted on me. His thrust became harder and I was close to reaching my high, just before he abruptly stopped. He continued to deny me any kind of release for another 4 times, my annoyance growing with the need of a release but this was his punishment. He wanted me to feel what he was feeling, the need and desire to fuck but not allowed to reach my high. Asshole.
Yet again he stopped right before I could finish, leaving me as a mumbering mess. I feel like I was going to burst if I didn't get my release soon, I would do it myself but any time I tried to get my hands closer, he would pin them down away from my own body. The same thing happened whenever I moved my hips.
"Do you think you learned your lesson?" He asked me after he got up from between my legs. His face only inches away from my own. I tried to kiss him, seduce him even if needed but I had to do something. I eagerly shook my head but that didn't satisfy him.
"Use your words love."
"Yes! Yes I learned my lesson," The eagerness was noticeable in my voice and he kept staring in my pleading eyes before he started moving again, "please just fuck me already."
Quickly he removed his own clothes and got back in between my legs, giving me a deep and passionate kiss while he entered inside of me. Like usual, he gave me a second to adjust to his size but thanks to all his teasing I was more than ready for him and couldn't wait any longer so I started moving my hips to feel him deeper inside of me, earning me an amused look from Simon.
He picked up the pace and started thrusting deeper inside of me. It didn't take me long before I reached my high and thankfully this time he let me have my release. Forcing me to ride out my high as I came all over his cock, his pace only became quicker and I already felt the tingles of another release coming.
After that, he turned me so that I was sitting on top of him. He was laying down on the bed, helping me while I was riding him. I was now in power of the pace and I felt a bit of power come back to me. I moved forward and back, chasing after my own pleasure while his hands were gripping firmly on my hips.
I slowed down my movement to enjoy the feeling but Simon wouldn't let me slow down, by how he groaning I knew he was close himself. Losing the last bit of patience he had, he lifted me up before he spun us around and he pinned me on the bed with my face pressed into the pillow.
His hands gripped my hips again and I was pulled back, feeling how he kneeled behind me, my ass resting against his upper thighs before I felt him enter me from behind. It felt like he was deeper in me then before, the thrusts were harder and the way he hit that sweet spot with every thrust made me close to another orgasm.
After that it didn't take long for the both of us to fall apart, it was only when I felt him come inside of me, that I realized he wasn't wearing a condom. A little rush of panic crashed through me, but that quickly faded in my mind when he fell onto the bed with me into his arms. Exhaustion came over me and I couldn't help but let my eyes fall down a little, sleep taking over me.
