"Believe me, nothing on earth is given without labour, even love, the most beautiful and natural of all feelings."

- Leo Tolstoy, November 2, 1856.

Jake

Lydia was finally mine, as much I was hers. This love-this crazy love we played like a game of tug of war-was worth fighting for. Fuck, I would pay the ferryman my entire inheritance to cross the River Styx and walk through Hades for this woman.

"I can't believe this!" Lydia grinned at me.

"What can't you believe, beautiful?" I kissed her and embraced her tightly.

"You're mine!" she proclaimed.

"You better get used to it, Missy. We're in it for the long haul," I grinned back at her, kissing her forehead and squeezing her delicate body with a light hug.

"The long haul?" Her eyes gazed into mine inquisitively.

"Yeah. Forever, ya know?" I winked at her.

Missy closed her eyes and smiled like a kitty who ate a bowl of cream.

"Jake, I love you so much! I'm so in love with you." Those sexy feline amber eyes with traces of sea-green had me drowning in love.

"I'm in love with you too, Missy." My hands were tightly clasped into hers. She held them tight and wouldn't let them go.

I looked over Missy's short mini-dress. Mmm, yeah, that was mine. Shapely slender legs, creamy smooth thighs, and a firm butt. I removed my hands from hers and patted her butt. I traced the outline of her butt and sneaked a hand under that short dress, feeling the contour of her.

"Jake! There are people here!" Lydia squealed.

"We're on the campus greens. People are too far to see anything, and if they're looking, they'd have to look real close," I said. My hands caressed her buttocks and started to explore inside her panties.

"Jakey!"

"Lydia!" I threw a wicked grin at her.

"Want me to stop?"

She remained silent. I gazed into her face and noticed she was blushing.

"No. I like what you do to me," she replied.

"Good. I've got a lot more in store for you." I smiled.

"You've got the most beautiful white teeth, Jake. I love it when you smile," Lydia cooed.

"I love it when you smile too. You're captivating. Beautiful."

We lay down on the grass, and I put my backpack behind her ass. I could tell she appreciated the cover. She knew what I intended to do with her.

"Lydia," I murmured in her ear, before proceeding to kiss her face, neck, and shoulders.

I continued feeling under her dress, studying her curves with my hand, until my girlfriend's breathing hitched. I pressed my mouth on her pouty, silky lips, and advanced with some hot and heavy kissing.

"Let me feel you," I pleaded. "Is this okay?"

"Yes. It's okay," Lydia said softly.

"Jake, are you hard?" she asked, as I kept massaging her.

"Feel me," I said.

Her hands reached out to touch me.

"Oooh, you're hard!"

"You did that," I confided.

Lydia's cheeks turned red.

Whack! Who the fuck smacked my ass?

"Carrie, what the fuck!"

"It's illegal to fornicate in public, Somersby," Carrie chastised. She squatted down to help Lydia adjust her dress.

"Honey, you can't do this out here," she told Lydia. "People are watching. Campus security is milling around."

"C'mon, Carr! We weren't having sex," I sighed, shaking my head.

"Jacob, Carrie's got a point," Lydia said.

"Some things should stay in the bedroom. Speaking of which... Lydia, have you and lover boy done the nasty yet?" Carrie asked, eyeing me with a cheeky grin.

"Carr!" Lydia yelped.

Two pairs of eyes stared at me now, waiting for me to say something. I rubbed my neck and avoided eye contact with the girls. There was nothing for me to say. It's not exactly a topic I want to share with the world.

"We haven't done it yet," Lydia admitted awkwardly.

"Wow, Lydia! Every woman on campus who's seen your boyfriend swim for the Panthers are dying to get into his pants," Carrie stated as if it was fact rather than opinion. "What's the wait?"

"What's the hurry?" I shot back in Lydia's defense when I saw her cheeks turn red.

"This guy right here is the sexiest guy alive." Lydia stroked my hair and neck. "He's got more experience than me, and it all makes me so nervous! I need time. That's all."

"Honey, he's one of your best friends! You're practically soul mates," Carrie laughed gently. "When Johan and I started dating, I was super nervous too, but..."

"We haven't even been on our first date," Missy gushed as her eyes silently implored mine.

"Oh, goodness, Lydia! Is that a hickey on your neck?" Carrie shrieked. "It's huge! It's like a frigging rainbow-blue, purple, red!"

"Um, yeah. Jake gave it to me. I gave him one too, on his chest," Lydia explained.

"I'm going to the main cafeteria. You need anything, Missy?" I asked. I raised my left eyebrow at her, silently hinting at her to change the conversation by the time I get back.

"Just some water, please," Missy replied.

"Can you get me a can of Cherry Coke?" Carrie chimed.

"Sure. Can of Cherry Coke and a bottle of water." I was happy to leave the two to talk.

Lydia

I watched Jake get up and walk towards the cafeteria across the campus grass. He had a fantastic physique, so tall, tanned, and pure lean muscle.

I loved the way his blue eyes, with violet hues, flashed at me when he excused himself from the conversation. He was silently asking me to change the topic before he would return.

I understood him.
