The FIRE in You

Chapter 7: An Old Habit

"As in a firefighter?", I asked. He looked worried. "Yes? Is that a turn-off?", he asked making me rethink things. "I didn't mean it in a bad way, you just surprised me that's all", I explained. He moved his chair back to where it was before, making me miss the warmth he provided. He looked tense. "Ajax? I'm sorry if I offended you, I just asked for clarification", I said looking at him in the eyes. The way he looked at me made me worry, it was like he was assessing me, looking for something. He released a breath.

"It's not you, it's me. I'm sorry, it's just that... the reason why I've been single for almost five years now is because I had a bad break up and it was because of the type of job I have", he said scratching the back of his neck. "What do you mean?", I asked curiously.

"My ex seemed to think that being a firefighter wasn't an actual job, it was... not enough. She wanted someone in a three-piece suit and a briefcase and she wasn't shy about letting me know about it in front of my crew", he said with pain in his eyes.

"Ajax, I'm so sorry", I said reaching for his hand that was holding on too tight to a beer bottle. "Are you though?", he asked with so much anger that made me feel offended. "Why would you ask me that? You don't even know me and you're accusing me of undermining you? That's inappropriate don't you think?", I asked pulling back.

"Fuck! I'm sorry Brey, I didn't mean it like that. Shit! I'm messing this up aren't I?", he asked with a raised brow, I furrowed mine.

I know how it hurts when someone doesn't love you back so, I didn't want to blame Ajax but I noticed that he had a temper and was trying to hide it. He had guts, unlike Lawrence who always pulled back when we argued.

I felt like pushing his buttons to see what his limits were.

When he called me 'Brey', it made me feel some type of way, no one has ever called me that. I wanted him to say it again.

"Brey, I'm sorry... Can we start over?", he asked trying to get my attention again. "Depends, are you going to continue being a jerk or will you be the same guy that blew my mind with the most amazing sex I've ever experienced?", I asked biting my lower lip. "The latter", he said standing up then pulled me with him.

He put 40 dollars on the table before we started going for the exit. We reached the parking lot and stopped in front of a dark grey Chevrolet Silverado. He trapped me between the passenger door and him. Kissing me hungrily making me hold his face in my hands as I enjoyed the moment until someone whistled. It was an old couple heading to the diner.

"We should get out of here", he said in the middle of panting making me giggle. He opened the door for me and helped me in then went to the driver's side and got in. He held my hand as he drove to an apartment complex. It looked old. We got out and went to the seventh floor where he unlocked the door and welcomed me in. I looked around and it was... small. I guess that's ok considering he is an only child.

"Your place is...", "Small?", he asked with furrowed brows. "Nice... I was going to say nice. I thought we were starting over. That means allowing me to finish my own sentences", I said making him swallow hard.

"I'm sorry, it's a habit. It won't happen again", he said heading to the fridge to get our drinks as I explored the place. It was a one-bedroom apartment with an open kitchen and living room. It had a walk-in closet and a nice bathroom. I liked the view from the veranda. It was beautiful. 

He called me to the living room where I found him sitting on the couch with two glasses of whiskey in front of him. "To starting over", he made a toast and we drank to it.

"That's incredible. Mum always talks about your company, you usually deliver spare parts to her garage. Dad always jokes about it and calls her an obsessed person. You're doing an amazing job, Brey. Congratulations", he praised me when I told him what I did for a living and it felt good. It was weird. I wished Lawrence supported me when I told him about the idea the same way Ajax did.

I was suddenly pulled on top of him, my thighs on either side of him as our lips met and all I could do was moan as I grind my needy pussy on his bulge. "Fuck! I need you Brey", he said making me moan into the kiss. I kissed him harder and the next thing I knew we were moving, I moved my lips to his thick neck and started sucking it. I felt his cock twitch as we entered his bedroom.

He placed me down and then started removing my clothes. I watched him do the same with his and by the time he was done with me, his hair was pointing in every direction because of my fingers, his lips swollen from my aggressive kissing, and hickies were all over his neck. 

Perfect view.

Instead of hovering over me, he kneeled next to the bed pulling my lower body to him while spreading my legs on either side of his face. 

"What are you... aaah!", I screamed as his tongue entered my pussy. He licked, shoved, rolled, and sucked the life out of my poor pussy and all I did was call his name over and over as if it would give me some kind of relief but my first oral orgasm hit me instead.

I arched my back and screamed in pleasure, unable to catch my breath. I looked down at Ajax and he was busy licking me up like a starved man. It was the hottest thing I've ever seen. 

Lawrence never went down on me. He loved my blow jobs but he never returned the favour so in time, I learned to live without it. After tonight, I don't think I can anymore. I'm sure Ajax won't let me either.

I was finally getting a hold of myself and thought that I could finally relax but to Ajax, it was just the beginning. He made me reach more orgasms as if he was on an adventure and I started feeling my eyes go heavy. He noticed and pulled back putting me at the center of the bed with sheets on me.

I felt a kiss on my forehead as I fell asleep hearing someone asking me, "Where have you been all this time Brey?", I smiled and snuggled into them. The warmth felt familiar, it felt safe.
