 “Hey Cara, did you see the new recruits?”

“No. Any good ones?”

“A few. What time do you come in?”

“Not for another couple of hours. They will still be there when I get there. You are not suckering me in to going in early again. You know John won’t let me even clock in until the exact minute. He is such a tight ass.”

Jaycie giggled and feigned innocents. They both knew that it was a load of crap. Jay hated to restock before the night rush and Cara refused to be suckered in again. “Fine. I will see you when you get here then. Just leave me with John and Mary.”

“I will. Have fun.”

John was a jerk and Mary was a stuck-up older woman that wore a constant scowl, so Jay had a few hours of misery ahead of her. Cara did not feel the least bit concerned. It wasn’t like she didn’t have to deal with them too. She hung up the phone and the blonde lay back down to take a nap. She set the alarm clock on her phone for a couple of hours ahead and admonished herself again for drinking too much the night before. It was a hazard from working in a bar next to a military base. Everyone wanted to buy her drinks and most of them she didn’t turn down.

Cara got about an hour in before she was awoken by the phone. By the time she got to it, she saw that it was the bar. Figuring it was Jaycie again, she decided to get up and head down that way. The young woman walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on. She let the room steam up before she got undressed and slid in. Before long she was out and drying off. Going to the closet, she pulled out her uniform from the hangar and put it on.

She swore that every time she washed it, it got smaller. The white top stretched over her large breasts and the black skirt barely covered enough to be considered clothing. Cara had always contended that they might as well wear bikinis and be done with it. It was her pervy boss John that made them wear them. Cara didn’t much care for the outfits, but she had to admit that she got a ridiculous amount of tips for them. The drunker the man, the more they wanted to put a bill in her top. Sometimes, Cara would let them catch a feel, pretending that her hands were just too full to accept it another way. The men loved it and she loved the income.

Cara pulled her straw-colored hair back from her face and did her makeup. Repositioning her tits, she looked back at herself and thought looked younger than her twenty-two years. She had always had the youthful face and while she was curvy, she was only a little over five feet tall. So even with all her makeup and sexy attire, she still mainly looked like a girl that was playing around in her mother’s makeup.

As she walked down the stairs of her walk-up, she pulled her jacket tighter around her body. It was colder than she had expected and wondered if there was going to be snow soon. It felt like snow in the crisp air stinging at her face. She almost went back to her apartment for her scarf, but since it was only a few blocks away, just dealt with it.

The close proximity was one of the main attractions of the job at John’s. That and the steady stream of military patrons she liked to associate with on occasion. Cara was like most women, having a love for hot, rugged men in uniform. There was something that changed in a man when he put on a service uniform. The result was something unexplainable. The man instantly became far more attractive with the fatigues on. Cara was a sucker for the hard bodies and buzzed heads. She had dated a few customers, but had been single for a while. The dry spell was driving her crazy and it was about time for her to find her another beau.

*** 

The music blared from the small, hole-in-the-wall place that she worked. She could see the throng of people from the open doorway. Taking a few last drags from her cigarette, she pushed through and found her way to the bar. All three people were filling order behind the bar and her boss was looking flustered. He wasn’t very good with customers, so he only waited on people when he absolutely had to.

“Cara finally. Why didn’t you answer your phone?”

Cara sighed and walked behind the bar. “Well I thought it was Jay, besides I can’t clock in for another two hours. Your rule, remember?”

The older man scowled at her, though when she took her jacket off and exposed her hardened nipples beneath, he shut-up. He didn’t even try not to leer. Cara knew that everyone was looking, but it didn’t mean that they had to be so blatant about it. John had apparently not gotten the memo.

“Just clock in and make some drinks, will ya?”

Cara went to the back and punched her time card. John left as soon as she got up there and it wasn’t long before everyone was drinking and happy again. It was then that she could relax and enjoy the view around her. There were new recruits at the base and they were easy to spot with the fresh shorn hair. They were louder and rowdier and still possessed a twinkle in their eyes. After a while, the eyes of the soldiers became darker and less light shone through.

“Hey, that guy over there is checking you out.”

Cara nodded. She was barely wearing clothing, so it was to be expected. “Seriously go say hi. He is cute and since you came in early anyways, I will watch the bar for a bit.”

She did not want to go over there, but since their table was covered in drinks, she approached the table with a tray. There were several men sitting down, but one in particular looked harder than the rest. He was an obvious newbie and he looked like he was going to cream his jeans right then and there. The men stopped talking and all eyes were on her or her breasts anyways.

Cara started to clear the table and one of the older men brushed up against her chest with his arm. She gave him a dirty look and tried to ignore the leering men. “Can I get you guys anything to drink?”

“Are those producing?” A redheaded man was practically salivating and his eyes were glued to her chest. Cara bent down and then picked up his glass.

“No more for you. Anyone else?”

The table broke out in a round of laughter and the young man turned as red as his hair. He tried to say something but an older blond man who had touched her, shut them up. “Sorry about that. This is their first night out in a long time, training and all.”

“Oh I know. I can spot em a mile away. Rock hard and fresh buzzed.”

The man chuckled and stuck out his hand. “Mark.”

“Cara. Now drinks anyone?”

The men all started talking at once and she looked to him to settle down his squad. He ordered another round of beers for everyone. She went back to the bar and sighed to her friend. “Thanks. You know they are randy enough to go plow a hole in a wall, don’t you.”

“Yeah I know. And you are needing some plowing. I thought it was a good idea myself.”

 Cara walked back to the table and once again the men quieted down. She had seen the sharp look that Mark gave them all and they all seemed to listen to him like adoring puppies. Cara set the drinks down and she was turning to leave when Mark grabbed her hand and stopped her. “Can I have a dance?”

The touch sent electricity through her body and she nodded her head. He took the tray from her hand and pulled her towards the other gyrating bodies on the makeshift dance floor. The music was fast and he held her close as they moved together. His hips showed her what he would do in the bedroom and she could not help but feel his excitement brush against her.

“Do you want to get out of here?”

Cara laughed and looked up into his bright blue eyes. He was serious and for a moment, her mind agreed with her body. “I have to work another three hours Mark.”

“I can wait.”

“I just met you.”

“It feels like I have known you forever.”

“You are one slick man.” She giggled and noticed the music changed to a slow tempo. His hands pulled her up against his hard body and Cara was amazed at the feel. The man was at least ten years older than her, but he was built beautifully. She did not need to see him to know the rippling muscles that hid underneath his shirt.

“So what do you say Cara?”

“I say you are a bit drunk and I need to go back to work.” She pulled away and after a moment of indecision, he released her arm and Cara picked up her tray from the table before returning to the bar. Jay skipped out for a smoke and Cara was left to fill orders. The bar was hopping, but her eyes kept getting drawn to the man who she had danced with earlier.

It was almost an hour before Jay came back from her smoke break. She had lipstick smeared on the side of her cheek and a few moments later, a man came in from outside fixing his belt. Cara caught the look he sent Jay and then avoided eye contact as he walked back to his friends. “Tell me you didn’t Jay.”

“What? He was cute and had a huge chub. What am I supposed to do? You know me and Dante broke up. I am not like you. I can’t go months and be okay. I would be literally jumping on one of these guys if I were you.”

Her words sunk in and Cara was embarrassed to say that she felt just about that way. Mark had teased her and though she knew she could do the same thing Jay did. Cara would certainly sleep better, but she wanted more of a connection than just lust and need. “I am not judging, but you know if John catches you, you are fired. Or worse, he will want some kind of favor.”

Both girls made a face and then giggled. As if his ears were burning, John came up from the back and told Cara that she needed to leave. “You are on overtime now. So see you tomorrow at your scheduled time.”

Cara stared at him in disbelief. It was like him. He couldn’t stand to pay an extra ten dollars for her coming in early. She just shrugged at the look on Jay’s face. “Well who is going to close?”

“You are.”

John left her staring at his back, her mouth slightly open. “God what a prick!”

Cara nodded. “Well heaven forbid he pay overtime. I knew he would say something, but all well. I am kind of hung over from last night still.”

“I was wondering why you weren’t drinking tonight.”

“I am detoxing. Besides, I got class tomorrow at nine in the morning. You know I can’t do mornings.”

“All right chica. See you tomorrow night. I guess I am closing up tonight. I swear he acts like we don’t have a life.”

***

Cara punched out and grabbed her things. Putting her jacket on and pulling her hair down, she walked through the bar and outside into the cold. It was dark outside and she was thankful for the lights. Sometimes two or three of the street lights would be out in a row. Those dark spots made her nervous and made her walk just a little bit faster. Several of them were out down by her apartment.

“Cara?”

She turned around to his voice and saw Mark walking towards her. He spied the cigarette in her hand and asked her for a light. She handed him her lighter. He lit his cigarette and handed it back to her. “So I thought you were working for a couple more hours.”

“I was, but I am on overtime now, so cheap ass boss sent me home.”

“I see. So where are you headed?”

“Home.”

“You are walking?”

“Of course.”

“Oh. Well, may I walk you home?”

Cara paused and exhaled the grey-blue smoke up above her. “I still don’t know you.”

“That’s okay. I am Lt. Grimms, everyone knows me.”

“I have been working at John’s for a year now and I don’t remember any of you guys before.”

“We transferred in. My squad needs training, so we here for a while before we go back home.”

“Where is home?”

“Colorado.”

“Even colder there.”

“Yea, I like the cold.”

There was a silence between them as he walked beside her. She had started towards her house, not really think about what she was doing. “So are you single Cara?”

She nodded. “Have been for a while.” The longer she looked at him, his body so close to hers, the more she realized how long it had been. He was drawing her in with his very presence and she wanted nothing more than to take him up on his previous offer. The closer they got to her apartment, the more her desire increased.

“What about you Mark? Are you single?”

“At the moment, though I have my sights set on someone now.” It was clear where his sights were.

“Oh, you are looking for a girlfriend? Silly me, I thought you were trying to get laid.”

He stopped her with a hand and pushed her back against the brick wall of the building behind her. He pressed his body tightly against her and for a moment, she could have sworn his eyes changed. “Why can’t I have both? I do not think that one time would ever be enough.”

Mark’s hot lips pressed against hers. His tongue prodding her mouth open and she finally opened up and surrendered to his aggressive action. His hand touched her hips, pulling her body tighter against hers. Cara’s mind raced and her body flooded with wetness. She moaned into his mouth and her hands pushed through his blonde strands.

He handled her with care, even as his hands started to move on top of her. He cupped her round bottom and pulled her to his need. Cara was lost in the moment and would have been prepared to let him take her right then and there. He pulled away though and looked down at her. Her green eyes were darker and dilated with desire coursing through her body.

“Not here.” It was as if he could read her mind and the thoughts that she had in it.

“Where?”

“Your place.”

His hand held hers as they continued to walk the few blocks to her house. Mark stopped in front of her place and waited for her to put the key in the hole. The two had walked in silence and both felt ready to explode by the time she started leading him up the stairs. His hand went to her ass as he watched it inches above him. A hand went underneath her skirt, touching the bottom of her ass that pushed out from her lacy panties. Mark growled behind her. It sounded so real, she turned around expecting an animal in the staircase.

Mark was done waiting and he pushed her up the steps faster than before. He rushed her because his own need pushed him ahead. Her scent enveloped him and spoke to him in a way that nothing has before. He grabbed the key from her shaking hand and helped her put it in the lock. The door opened and they practically fell inside.
