You Only Love Once

Ace noticed I was getting a bit bashful, so he quickly changed the subject. The clock on the wall read 11:34 PM as the lights from the parking lot four floors below shined through our window. He asked me about what I would do when I was discharged. I shrugged and said I would go back to school. The thought of all the work I'd miss made me grimace and my stomach sour.

Somehow, with Ace lying by my side, my body felt secure and whole. I reached out and took his warm, aged hands into mine. Recovery with all of these injuries was going to take a huge chunk of time. It was already October, so my new year may be still in the Shore Regional Hospital after all. However, I knew that with Ace there, we'd both make it through.

"You may get out of here before I do," Ace pointed out.

"Why do you say that?" I instigated with a sharp tone of surprise.

"Think about it. You're 17 and can snap back into place after a few weeks. I'm 30 years older than you and I can't even keep my back in one place!"

We burst out in strong, hearty laughter. That was the first time I heard his bold laugh in two days and reassured me that the days will go by correctly. Ace's sense of humor was gradually blossoming as it had remained dormant since the accident. At least we'd be out soon, God willing.

Chapter 4: New Vision

The month was March of 2013 when I finally made it back to school. This was my first week back and Tuesday the 7th was my birthday. I had been eighteen years old for almost 6 hours and it was surprisingly empowering. My ribs healed up well, but my right arm was still weak. Having no rigorous exercise for almost half a year starts to mess with your muscles.

I hadn't seen Ace since New Year's Eve when he and I were both in the hospital. It was January 3rd when I was released and sent for at home therapy. The night before was filled with vomiting and crying out of nervousness and deliberate heartache. I remember being curled up in Ace's lap and crying into his chest as he rubbed my back and clenched onto me. I couldn't leave my mate in the intensive ward without comforting him or being in his presence. What if he didn't return to his job after being discharged? What if something went wrong?

My intention was not to leave him, but leave with him. After I left, I pled with my mother to visit him. She refused to let me, saying that he was abusing me with his power. Who cares about what she thought? Ace was mine and he loved me. It did seem as if Ace was "using his power to manipulate me for sex and other acts," however, that was untrue. Sadly, school resumed and I was swept away by the tides of work.

Now, the school-day was over and I was scrambling to get onto my bus. Because of the lack of funds, the transportation department decided to add on our route to another bus's route instead of replacing it. The new bus driver was an animal, driving so sporadically on the roads. Plus, he was so snobby and condescending whenever I attempted to talk to him. "You're a distraction when you're asking me personal questions while driving," he'd snarl.

As I walked through the C-Wing doors of my high school, the buses lined up in the school's bus driveway adjacent to the teacher's lot in the front of the school. As I waited for mine to pull up, I noticed a Blue Bird parked in the middle of the teacher's lot. Being nosy, I furtively jogged through the grass and off the path to the parking spot. Finally, when I arrived at the bus, I noticed the school bus yellow was exceptionally bright and vibrant while the bus's grill was glistening in the afternoon sun. This bus was new, I recognized as I did a few walking laps around it. Gently, I cupped my hands around my eyes to look into the doors.

"Looking for someone?" A familiar voice chuckled.

I spun around quickly. My throat went dry as a sob caught me by surprise.

"Ace..." I whimpered, feeling my heart skip a beat. "Oh my God!"

Ace swooped his arms around me and lifted me into the air. I laughed and smiled as his eyes glowed from excitement. When he brought me back down to the asphalt, I tightened my grip in our hug.

"I missed you so much, Anna," Ace sighed, his voice sounding stronger than ever.

"Me too!" I whimpered, nuzzling with him. "So is this your new trusty steed?"

Eventually letting go of my body, Ace walked over to the bus and patted the hood. He donned his new bright green safety vest over his purple plaid button-down shirt. Same as the last, his vest had the bold black letters "ACE" embroidered on the left chest panel. As we stood in the sun, he shielded his beautiful hazel green eyes with dark black studded sunglasses.

"Yes, ma'am," he stated proudly. "This was a special gift from the district for our strategic action. It's a new Vision, built completely stronger and more efficient for me and the passengers. You want to see inside?"

"I'd love to!" I cheered.

Out of his vest pocket, Ace whipped out a tiny golden bolt on a key ring. He pushed it into the keyhole on the door and turned it to the right. After opening the doors, Ace allowed me to walk up the steps first. I was amazed at what I'd seen.

"Wow!" I gasped, marveling at the new improvements. "This bus is beautiful!"

The windows were tinted to a sharp black and the seats were a darker brown. You could tell no one walked in the aisle or sat in the seats. Everything remained untouched except the driver's pit. The driver's seat was built literally into the bus and the steering wheel was elevated. There was a fan and two heat cells built into the pit for the driver to stay comfortable. Above the dashboard was a newly installed camera, a first aid kit,a Zonar system, and a novelty license plate that read "Mr. Ace" in huge bold letters.

"You need a lift back home?" Ace asked, looking out at the parking lot. "It looks like all of the buses are leaving now."

From the bus windows, I watched as all of the buses roared down the road after the 2500 kids piled into them. It was 2:20 PM and I wanted to get home a bit early so I could complete my homework in a timely fashion.

"Okay," I agreed, shaking my backpack off into the seat. "Plus, we can talk on the way."

With one swift motion, Ace slid into the driver's seat, exchanging the door key with the ignition key on the same ring. It seemed as if he healed up pretty well, but questions were about to start rolling. Sliding the key into the ignition, the new bus quivered with anticipation as the engine snarled as if it missed the streets. We slowly pulled out of the school's parking lot as a few teachers were trying to exit. As we made a right onto Francis Avenue, Ace began to speak.

"So, how's freedom treating you?" he laughed sarcastically.

"Pretty well," I smirked at him through the driver's mirror. "My arm and leg are still shaky in that regard."

"Yeah, my right leg still didn't fully recover. May take a year for it to be done."

"But other than that, how have you been?"

"Well, I was released three weeks ago, but the district wanted me to rest up before I returned to work. Plus, the investigation was still going on and I had to get cleared before my CDL was given back to me. They thought medicine or alcohol was involved. The tests aren't giving them anything, and quite frankly, I don't understand what happened either. I'm just blessed that you and the other students lived to tell the tale."

I smiled up at him. Did he know I took control of the bus? Had anyone told him my body shielded him from additional impact? Does it truly matter? Questions lingered in my mind as I struggled to respond.

"That accident took more than ten years off of my life, if I could say so myself. Were there any pictures of it from the police? Officer Avis mentioned something about 'grotesque shredded trees?'"

"Yes, actually," Ace replied, still watching the road. "They should be in the pocket behind my seat or in my backpack behind there."

Within 10 seconds of strenuous riffling around, I found a dark navy blue folder with the Lakewind Township Police Department symbol imprinted on the front cover. Flipping opened, my mouth dropped in awe. In the first picture, the old Blue Bird was deeply ensconced in a ravine 400 feet below the road. It was completely unrecognizable to be a school bus or any vehicle for that matter.

I flipped through the others, horrified by the images. The entire nose of the bus was ripped off by the sycamore trees in its path. While going 85 miles an hour, we flipped more than 4 times while hitting into dozens of impenetrable century year old trees. The floor was pushed in deep by the forceful landing. That had pushed my ankle bone underneath my shin so hard that the shinbone had chipped. I winced as the image soaked into my mind. The left wheel had also landed inward and came through the pedal deck where your feet go. This caused Ace's torn muscles in his left leg as he was caught in between them.

The last picture haunted my conscience the most. On the last page was a picture of my unconscious body draped over Ace's in the driver seat. We were both soaked in blood and covered with gashes and open wounds. Ace looked like he was dead as his head was twisted against the window. I must've clutched into him as we were falling, because my head was shoved into his body. My eyes appeared glassy, as if I was dead on site.

Shaking off the creepy feeling, I slammed the folder shut. After a minute, we came to a gentle halt in my driveway. I slid the folder back into the seat pocket and grabbed my stuff. Glancing at my garage door, I knew my mother wasn't home and I would be alone. She wouldn't be back until she got off of work around midnight.

"You want to come inside?" I motioned with my hand.

"Oh," Ace shook his head. "No, no, no! We'd get into deep trouble!"

"C'mon! Today is my birthday and I want my long overdue present..."

Our eyes met. His were filled with scorn and apprehensiveness while mine were filled with guilty intentions. Shutting off the ignition, the new bus whirred until the engine quieted. Hurrying him, I rushed to my front door and rustled with the key.

Chapter 5: All of Those Lines, Lines, Lines

As I guided Ace into my bedroom, he continued our conversation. He sat down on my bed while I offered him water or anything. After he politely denied me of my offer, Ace patted a spot next to him which signaled me to sit.

"Anna," Ace started. "Do you know what happened in that accident?"

"Um," I swallowed. "You collapsed at the wheel and...yeah..."

"Before that." His eyes were fierce and blazing authority. It was time to tell the truth.

I didn't respond aloud, only with the lowering of my head and sudden guilty look splashing my face.

"Mi sol," Ace reached out and took both of my hands in his. "You saved my life. When you saw me go down, you tried to protect all of us. If you weren't sitting there, I don't think either of us would be sitting here these months later. Why would you keep that from me? Why must I hear that from a police officer?"

"I didn't want you to feel pressure into owing me or thanking me. You already found out I was sexually addicted to you, so it would've made everything more awkward."

"Chica," he coaxed, brushing my long silky brown hair out of my face. "You're my angel and you shielded me. Before the accident, I had taken a liking to you, but I didn't know you'd return the feelings."

"But, Ace, I lo-"

A long, deep kiss interrupted my response. He pressed his lips eagerly against mine as I let out a moan of acceptance. His warm tongue raveled itself around mine and I became so much closer to him. When he finally pulled away, I began to heave as I was overwhelmed with emotions.

"I love you too," Ace giggled while finishing my sentence.

"Now what do you want to do?" I blushed, praying for the correct answer.

"Well, it is your birthday and I do have a present to give you..."

My loins were burning up. I couldn't stand waiting any longer. Forcefully, I pushed Ace down onto the bed as I straddled him. I yanked at the buttons of his shirt as he laughed. Getting irritated, I ripped the shirt off as the buttons clacked onto the birch floor. His chest was lined with curly black hair which didn't bother me too much.

His demeanor shifted when he witnessed my shirt ripping and strength. He seemed a bit intimidated to say the least.

"You won't need these any time soon," I teased while savagely unbuckling his blue jeans.

He kicked his feet out of them when they slid to his ankles. I grabbed at his underwear and was quite flabbergasted at what shot out from underneath.

"Whoa..." I gasped in an almost silent tone.

"What?" Ace asked, panting from excitement. "You never saw one of those before?"

I shook my head. "Only in porn and in health class. I was surprised to see how big you are..."

He looked to be eight inches, but his thickness was ridiculous! Thick black curly hair lined his loins which turned me on even more. Hair stimulated that barbarian part of my sex drive. Ace was as thick as a soda can, which made my hormones rush more.

Gently, I wrapped my right hand around Ace. His pubic mane was so soft and ticklish against my skin. I pushed him into my mouth after I worked up the nerve. Faster and faster, I bobbed up and down on his large pink head. Ace was groaning underneath me from pleasure. His balls were swollen from excitement as I gave them rough squeezes. Peering up at Ace, his eyes were shut and one hand was on his stomach while the other was on top of my head.

He began to hump into my mouth and down my throat to intensify the moment. Startled at that motion, I started to gag and heave for air. Ace's eyes flashed opened at the sound of my discomfort. He pulled himself out and lifted me to my feet.

"What happened?" He asked, trying to regain himself. "Are you okay?"

"You almost poked a hole in my throat!" I confessed. "But, I'm fine."

"I think it's my turn now," Ace claimed, pushing me down onto the bed.

With such care and passion, Ace slipped me out of my clothes as his applied a warm, gentle kiss onto each part where clothes had disappeared. He began to caress my breasts, which weren't excessively big. Ace kissed my swollen areoles until they burned from sheer arousal. I shut my eyes and laid my head back. My skin tightened as Ace kissed my stomach then he went lower to the top of my innocent moist love canal.

Suddenly, I jolted as something slimy began to enter me. Tension built up inside of my stomach while Ace lapped at my clit and tightening folds.

"Don't be nervous," he reassured. "I just want to make sure you're ready to take your present with no worries."

He lowered his head back down. As his rough tongue found its way into me, my body was writhing on top of him. I let out small forceful moans which encouraged him to keep going. He swirled around my clit which pushed me over the edge.

"I'm gonna cum soon..." I trembled out loud.

At that moment, I began to grind myself against Ace's mouth. He gently pushed his right index finger in, but my virgin walls restricted him from entering too deep. The heat was growing and his trailing finger made me submit to him. He started pushing the finger back and forth to stimulate my glands.

"I'm cumming!" I shouted on the top of my lungs.

With an exhausted sigh, I collapsed onto my back while my juices soaked his finger. Over and over again, the waves of orgasms tore through my body like an unknown force. Ace pushed himself in between my legs and began to stroke himself while waiting for my consent for entry.

"You have the aura of a fierce angel, mi sol," Ace complimented. "Thinking about you straddling me is still enraging my loins."

I wanted missionary position to start, mainly because, I didn't want to chicken out or hurt myself. Plus, I would enjoy watching Ace primitively announce his release to people within a five mile radius.

"Guide me into your body when you're ready."

I was dripping wet and couldn't wait any longer. Quickly, I reached out and began to stroke him hard again. Then, with one fatal motion, Ace shoved himself inside. Before I could take a breath and cry out in pain, he pushed his stomach downward onto mine to hold me in place.

"Ssshh..." Ace coaxed, halting his thrusts. "Are you alright?"

I let out a suffocated groan. My tissues were being torn in half at that moment. However, I bit my lip and forced myself to speak.

"Yes..." I hastily nodded my head. "Keep going. I have to get used it."

"I'll try to be gentle," Ace whispered, nibbling on my neck. "Trust me, sol, I'll make you feel like a woman."

I raised my eyes to meet his warm gaze. Those green eyes were oozing with a violent passion that captivated my heart. Ace eagerly bucked into me once again. The searing pain died down gradually and pleasure was slowly growing in its place. Deeper, Ace pushed himself as the moist tip massaged my insides. He began to spoon himself deeper into me to force submission over my innocent childish body.

"Harder, Ace!" I moaned, gasping for oxygen.

After two more pumps, Ace pulled back and leaped off of the bed. Small drips of blood dribbled out of my newly used orifice. Ace's manhood also donned evidence of our rough consummation. Before I could panic or spoil the mood, he took my hand to raise me up so he could take my place. While I stood with my shaky, gelatin legs, Ace spread himself out stomach-up on my bed.

"Now," Ace grinned. "You finally get to go for a ride."

Waiting for me, Ace grabbed his weapon and stroked up and down. He was still hard and swollen, surprisingly. Now my fantasy was going to come true on my birthday with my true love.

"Ready?" I smirked, dripping from excitement.

"Always for you, mi sol," Ace beamed, holding his stiff self upward.

Within seconds, my tall, slender body was straddling his large manhood. I craned my neck downward to take him by the tongue. Our lips connected as I mounted him. Reaching underneath me, I gruffly shoved Ace inside of me. Slowly, I pushed myself onto his spear until I was fully impaled. Ace let out an animalistic growl as my moist labia touched his swollen balls.

In order to continue my stride, I placed my two hands upon his hairy chest and held on as I quickened my pace. The sensation was hot and filling. Our flesh finally became one and it was heavenly. Ace began to shift his hips to match my thrusts. Bobbing up and down, I let out a long, sex crazed moan while I threw my head back and bared my neck.

"Ooo," Ace grunted. "You look so sexy when you play with your hair like that. Ride me harder!"

Ace raised his upper body off of the bed to support and encourage my wild carnal thrusting. Wanting to speed up the process, Ace eyed my button-like clit. He massaged it with his right thumb which made my toes curl. A sudden burst of ecstasy overwhelmed my love tunnel as I continued to splash my juices onto his pounding cock.

"Oh yes!" I started to howl, as the slimy sensation built up inside of my loins. "Yes, Ace! Make me yours! ¡Yo soy su sol!"

Ace held his breath and bucked more savagely. In his loins, he could sense tightness inside him. My tight muscles were massaging his cock and driving him insane. He knew he was going to blow within minutes. My lusty barking was pushing him over the edge. His mouth turned into an enormous O as I twisted my hips around his flesh.

"Pull out! I want you to fuck me from behind!" I commanded.

"Woah!" Ace laughed hysterically while struggling to stand. "I've never heard such obscenities come from you before!"

"Just fill me up!"

I hopped onto my bed, bent over on all fours, spread my legs, and spanked my butt to encourage him to finish the deed. Responding fluidly, Ace trailed behind me and slipped in between my soaked pussy lips, without much effort or force needed. He achieved a strong grip on my rear to continue slamming into me. The sensation intensified now that Ace was rubbing against my g-spot, forcing more liquids to spew. My nails etched deep prints into the mattress as I barbarically snarled at my lover.
