Blame it on the Boogie

Victoria was conflicted. On one hand, she most certainly did not want to stay in this ratty old shack all night by herself, but she also didn’t want to put anyone out or inconvenience Jennifer. Especially after all the trouble the Ranger had went through to rescue her. That meant the only compromise was to allow Dustin to stay with her alone.

It wasn’t like Victoria couldn’t be alone with Dustin. In fact, there was no one in the world she felt safer with. He was always devoted to her and she had no doubt if anything were to happen he’d readily jump in harms way for her. But it was also awkward, because while those were admirable traits when they were dating, now it just felt a little obsessive. But she also felt that she had little choice. It was either this, or be a further burden to those around her.

“It’s fine, Dustin can stay with me if you need to go,” Victoria said, Dustin beaming at her agreement. “You can trust him.”

Still frowning but relenting, Jennifer accepted Victoria’s decision. “Very well. I’ll be back first thing in the morning, alright?”

The teens nodded. The Ranger went out to the truck and returned moments later with a sleeping bag for Dustin. He laid it out in front of the fire while Jennifer gave Victoria the medicine she’d brought with specific instructions not to take it until morning and only then if she wasn’t feeling dizzy or lethargic. She gave the same instructions to Dustin and re-enforced her insistence that he should make sure to behave appropriately. With one last glance around and a smile, Jennifer left.

While Victoria listened to the truck rev on outside, Dustin stripped off his clothes. She watched silently as he unbuttoned his shirt and slid it from his shoulders, draping it over the same chair where Victoria’s yoga pants and shoes were lain. Then his hands went to his trousers, unzipping them and pushing the pants down his thighs, his strained boxers becoming visible to Victoria. He looked up and smiled, seeing her blush at being caught staring.

Her body tightened as he walked around the bed, coming up along side her, dressed in nothing but his underwear, clearly covering his semi-stiff cock. She swallowed hard as he loomed over her, though what she was afraid of she was unsure. In all the time they’d dated, Dustin had never pressured her for sex or pushed her for anything, even when his brother had teased and mocked him about not getting further with his girlfriend. She had no reason to believe that he had changed.

Still, she flinched slightly as he leaned down. She felt silly and ashamed when he simply pressed his lips against her forehead then whispered, ‘sweet dreams, V.”

He turned out the oil lamp by her head and made his way back to the end of the bed. The room darkened, but not completely, the warm, orange glow of the fire keeping the shack at least partially lit. Victoria’s eyes followed Dustin to the bottom of the bed until he ducked down and crawled into his sleeping bag, out of sight.

She closed her eyes and tried to sleep but her mind was racing with the events of the past few days. Her only intention on coming to the cabin this Spring Break was to enjoy a couple of weeks of fun with her friends. Since then, she’d lost her virginity, her boyfriend had cheated on her, she’d been fingered in the kitchen by Heather’s cousin and she’d allowed her best friend’s boyfriend to fuck her while thinking that she was Ashley. And now, after all that, here she was with a sprained ankle and her ex-boyfriend in a sleeping bag at the bottom of the room.

Sex. That was the problem. Ever since she’d started having sex, everything had went to shit. If she hadn’t slept with Gavin, there never would have been a pregnancy scare and she never would have been tempted to have sex with Kurt. She never would have needed to go ‘release the pressure’ and accidently slip into the same bed as Zack. She’d would never have gone hiking to the caves to hear Gavin’s answer to her ultimatum. Ever since she’d had sex, she’d wanted more and having it and then not having it had driven her to do some wrong, lewd things.

Like right now. Just thinking about sex, about Gavin and her on that drunken first night, about Kurt’s fingers sliding inside, about Zack’s thick cock stretching her as it filled her. Her whole body felt warm and her pussy was tingling with need. A need she’d never known or had to fight until she’d had sex. And now she couldn’t stop it. She could feel it growing, intensifying, burrowing its way deep inside her body until she felt ready to burst.

“Hey, V,” Dustin’s voice came across the darkness, making Victoria jump beneath the covers. “You awake still?”

“Uh…yeah,” she admitted, wondering if he could sense her arousal.

“Can I ask you something else?” It was strange being able to hear his voice without being able to see him.

“S-sure, I guess so,” she agreed. It had turned out that everything Dustin had said so far had been true, so it was only her own paranoia and shock of waking up in this strange, unusual location that stirred up her suspicions.

“Are you still a virgin?” His voice tentative and shaking.

“What? What the hell kind of question is that?” Victoria balked, immediately feeling creeped out again after finally starting to feel safe in her situation again. “That’s really not any of your business.”

“I know, I know, I just…” Dustin was quick to reply. “I thought about what you were up to while I was away. It wouldn’t surprise me that there would be no shortage of guys who wanted to be with you. But all I could ever think was that I wished it could have been me.”

“M-maybe it could have been,” she admitted. “I don’t know why I waited so long. I kept waiting for the right time and the right guy, and then you moved away. I told myself the next time I felt close to a guy like I had with you, I wouldn’t wait so long. But maybe I should have. He still cheated on me.”

“Shawn always said I should have. He threatened to fuck you first if I didn’t,” Dustin replied sombrely. “Sometimes I think he’s right, I should have just gone for it, but I’m glad we moved away before he could try anything.”

“Do you really think he’d try to fuck me?” Victoria breathed, and felt her body buzz as she imagined Dustin’s cocky older brother.

“You don’t know Shawn, he doesn’t make empty threats,” Dustin retorted seriously. “Especially when it comes to beautiful women and sex.”

Victoria smiled, catching the compliment of being called beautiful. “It’s probably better you didn’t try anything back then. I wasn’t ready and you forcing the issue probably would have just made me push you away. I don’t really understand why I wasn’t ready. I’ve thought about it and never come up with a good reason. It just didn’t feel right then.”

“And now?” His voice was full of hope.

“I don’t know,” she said, refusing to commit. Something about Dustin was just making her uneasy and it seemed a bad idea to reject him out-right. She didn’t think he would actually do anything to her, but she was worried how he might react. “I mean, there’s still this thing with Gavin…”

“When I heard you were coming up to the cabin at the same time I was coming out here to volunteer at the park, I thought it must be fate,” Dustin said sadly. “It seemed like it would be perfect, the two of us in the same place at the-”

“Wait,” Victoria cut in. “You said you didn’t know I was at the cabin?”

“What?”

“When I first woke up, you said you didn’t know why I was up here and you didn’t tell Jennifer because you didn’t want to get me in trouble,” Victoria pressed the issue. “But you just said you heard I was coming up to the cabin. So, you lied?”

“I…I…I just didn’t want you to think I was some stalker,” Dustin explained hurriedly, ****. “Honestly, I was already coming out here to volunteer before I found out that you were gonna be here. That’s just what made it seem special.”

“So, I could have gone back at any time if you’d just told Jennifer where I was staying?” Victoria growled, sitting up on her elbows, but still unable to see Dustin lying by the fire. “How did you even know?”

“Kendra. We moved but Kendra stayed, and she told my brother everything that was going on. She heard Heather discussing coming to the cabin with Ashley and she said she was going to invite you. I swear,” Dustin said with a panicked tone. “And it was Jennifer’s idea to keep you here until you woke up. She has medical training and she looked you over, but she was still worried about moving you with your injuries. She stayed here and monitored you all evening and only left that once.”

“This is all pretty fucked up, Dustin,” Victoria said. “You do realise that?”

“Of course, I do, but I was only thinking about us,” Dustin insisted. “About us being able to be together again.”

“Enough,” Victoria ordered, lying back down on the pillow and closing her eyes, anger having quelled any lust in her body. “I don’t want to listen to any more of this. I don’t think I can stand to hear another word. Just…leave me be until morning, until I can go back to my friends, the people who don’t lie to me.”

And then Dustin was silent.
