Chapter 16: A Night To Remember

The forest was quiet, save for the soft crackling of the campfire. Its warm glow flickered against the trees, casting long shadows that danced in the night.

The air was cool, carrying the faint scent of pine and earth.

Quinn lay asleep on the forest floor, wrapped tightly in a blanket, her breathing steady and calm. Across the fire, Meisie rested on her own blanket, her face peaceful in the dim light.

Caled, however, was wide awake. He moved silently around the campsite, his eyes scanning the darkness for any signs of danger.

The weight of the night pressed on him, and a restless tension built within. He needed a release, something to ease the tightness in his chest.

His gaze drifted to Meisie, her figure illuminated by the firelight.

Quietly, he approached her. As if sensing his presence, Meisie's eyes fluttered open. She looked up at him, her expression soft but curious.

"You're still awake," Caled whispered, his voice low so as not to disturb Quinn.

Meisie nodded shyly, her cheeks flushing. "I couldn't sleep," she admitted. "I keep thinking about… earlier."

Caled's heart quickened. He couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked in the firelight, her hair tousled and her eyes bright. The memory of their kiss earlier that day flashed in his mind, and he felt a pull he couldn't resist.

Without a word, he knelt beside her and joined her on the blanket. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. Meisie let out a small, surprised sound but didn't push him away. Instead, she hesitated for a moment before leaning into his embrace.

"Quinn's right there," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly.

Caled smirked, his tone teasing. "Then you'll have to stay quiet, won't you?"

Before she could respond, he kissed her. It started softly, a gentle exploration, but quickly grew more intense. Caled's hands moved over her body, slipping beneath her clothes to feel the warmth of her skin. Meisie gasped softly but didn't pull away. Her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer.

Caled's touch grew bolder. His hand slid up to her chest, and he paused, surprised. "You're not wearing a bra," he murmured against her lips.

Meisie didn't answer, her face burning with embarrassment. Instead, she kissed him again, her fingers tangling in his hair. Caled took this as permission to continue. He lowered his head, pressing kisses along her neck and collarbone before slipping beneath her shirt to take one of her breasts into his mouth. Meisie stifled a moan, her hand flying to her mouth to muffle the sound.

Caled's other hand wandered lower, slipping between her legs. Meisie tensed for a moment, then relaxed, her body responding to his touch. Her breath came in short, shaky gasps as he explored her, his fingers moving with practiced ease.

"Caled…" she whispered, her voice trembling.

He pulled back just enough to look into her eyes. "Do you want me to stop?" he asked, his voice rough with desire.

Meisie shook her head quickly. "No… just… be gentle."

Caled nodded, his expression softening. He helped her remove her top, revealing her slender frame to the night air. Meisie's hands trembled as she reached for his shirt, pulling it off to reveal his muscular torso.

Her eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help but admire him.

Caled, however, was losing patience. He quickly removed the rest of their clothes, his hands shaking with anticipation. Meisie's breath hitched as she saw him fully exposed, his arousal evident. Caled guided her hand to him, showing her how to touch him. She obeyed, her movements hesitant at first but growing more confident as he encouraged her.

When he could wait no longer, Caled positioned himself over her. "Are you sure?" he asked one last time, his voice strained.

Meisie nodded, her eyes locked on his. "Please… just go slow."

Caled did as she asked, easing into her gently. Meisie winced, a small sound of pain escaping her lips.

Caled paused, concern flashing across his face. "Does it hurt?" he asked.

"A little," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "But… it feels good too. Don't hold back. I can take it."

Encouraged by her words, Caled began to move. He started slowly, giving her time to adjust, but soon his pace quickened. Meisie's breath came in short, uneven gasps, her hands clutching at his shoulders. She tried to stay quiet, but the sensations were overwhelming.

Caled silenced her moans with a kiss, his hips moving faster and faster.

The thrill of the moment, the risk of being caught, only heightened their pleasure. Meisie wrapped her legs around Caled's waist, pulling him closer. She matched his movements, her hips rising to meet his.

Caled groaned, his voice low and rough. "You're amazing," he muttered, his words barely coherent.

Meisie's nails dug into his back as she felt herself nearing the edge. "Caled… please…" she begged, her voice trembling. "Don't stop. I want… I want all of you."

Her words pushed him over the edge. With a final, deep thrust, Caled released himself inside her, his body shuddering with the intensity of his release. Meisie clung to him, her own climax washing over her in waves.

For a long moment, they stayed like that, their bodies still connected, their breathing ragged. Caled kissed her deeply, his hands gently stroking her hair.

Meisie hugged him tightly, her face buried in his shoulder.

When they finally separated, Caled pulled her close, wrapping the blanket around them both. They lay together in silence, the fire crackling softly in the background.

After a while, Meisie spoke, her voice soft but steady. "You know… you have two women now."

Caled turned to look at her, his brow furrowed. "Are you okay with that?"

Meisie nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "Quinn and I talked about it. We both care about you. And in our society, it's not unusual for a man to have more than one lover… as long as he can take care of them."

Caled sighed, relief washing over him. He pulled her closer, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I'll do my best," he promised.
