A TIME FOR GIVING UP

(NOTE:THIS STORY WAS SPACED AND TABBED WHEN ENTERED, BUT WHEN VIEWED AFTER EDITING, NEITHER APPEARED. ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHY?)


Jenny had adored Shawn for some time, had actually believed he had cared for her similarly. She had foolishly believed his lines and had paid dearly for that naivety. The time for giving up had come just months ago. Jenny had heard about all she could of Shawn's degrading insults about women, of how he blamed them for every mistake made in his life.


"Excuse me, but haven't we met somewhere before?"


Jenny whirled about to face the interloper, her senses reeling when she found herself face to face with Chris Snyder, an old high school sweetheart. Her deep blue eyes resting upon him with appreciation, she noted that he had not changed over the passing years, that he was still as lean and handsome as ever, and she wondered just why she had chosen Shawn over the attractive blonde that stood before her now.


"Chris," she responded in a whisper-like tone, sweeping a lengthy strand of her flaxen hair aside when a light breeze wafted throughout the air. "How nice to see you again."


"How's Shawn?" her ex-flame queried, a slight frown coming to his face. He had always known Shawn Weston for what he was...a man who used women as if they were pawns and nothing but sexual toys. Shawn was most despicable to most of the others who knew him, yet somehow always managed to get the women he desired. This had not disturbed Chris until the bastard had taken his Jenny, the woman he had cherished from the moment they had met their Freshman year. Having heard the two had split up, Chris was determined to win his first and only love back.


"I let him go months ago," Jenny replied. "It was either give him up or live a lifetime of hell. Shawn had already taken enough of me, Chris. I wasn't about to give him more."


"Smart woman. Shawn's a jerk. I always knew you were too good for that son of a bitch."


Jenny flashed Chris a brilliant smile. How could she have ever imagined she could be happier with Shawn when it was Chris whom had always been there for her? "It's too bad I didn't know then what I do now."


That conversation had taken place over six months ago. Jenny had eagerly accepted Chris' invitation to a romantic candlelit dinner that evening, followed by a carriage ride, and then back to his apartment where the two had made hot love the entire night. Chris was not the taker Shawn had been, instead fulfilled Jenny's every desire as well. That first night had been only one of numerous subsequent ones that the golden-haired beauty refused to cast aside. Giving Shawn up had been the best thing she could have done, and she harbored no regrets.


Chris read the fire in her eyes as he divested her of the satin nightgown before removing his own clothing. Leaning forward to mesh lips with hers, his warm hands eased downwards to cup her small breasts to toy with the hardened nipples. A slight grin came to his lips when she moaned her pleasure as his mouth replaced his hands while his fingers eased inside the fiery, moistened crevice. God, how he wanted nothing more than to take her then and there!


Jenny kissed his neck, her tiny hands reaching downwards until her fingers were closed about his rock-hard penis. Her body stirred to the boiling point, she intended to give the man she loved the bliss he gave to her. Not a word was issued as he swept her into his powerful arms and carried her to bed when both could no longer fight the inevitable. Foreplay being imperative to the both of them, they shifted their perspiring bodies in a fashion where they could orally stimulate one another while their hands continued the sexual assault that would lead them to rapture.


Moonlight filtered through the open window as the two lovers touched and teased, casting an almost heavenly glow upon their naked frames. When the time approached to fulfill their need, Chris mounted the woman whom had captured his heart and eased his manhood into her eager body slowly, savoring the tightness of her warmth as he did so. Mine, he thought, I have to make her mine!


Jenny let out a small gasp as they hurdled over the edge simultaneously, the orgasm intense and satisfying. Never had lovemaking been so good, felt so right! Lying in his powerful arms afterwards and gazing into his sky blue eyes, she wondered if he knew how much she enjoyed what he did to her, how he always made her feel so complete.


Chris' eyes fused with hers only seconds before he found his voice before losing the nerve to ask the question he had yearned to ask for some time now. "Jenny," he began nervously. "I...I...will you marry me?"


"Yes, Chris!", she squealed, her eyes sparkling like diamonds. "Oh yes!"


The two were married the following year, Jenny now pregnant with their first child. Regrets? No, she had none, for she had discovered the love she had always longed for. Shawn had made her life a nightmare, but now she realized that the experience had taught her a lot. There was a time when giving up was a must. She had done so and had found contentment with Chris, one that was all-consuming and shared. Better than that, she now knew the real meaning of unconditional and everlasting love.
