Chapter 6

Over the next week, things were much the same, and Kashena quickly found herself getting not only frustrated, but pissed off. A week and a day after they’d made the “forty-eight hours” agreement, Kashena drove to the river, parking the vehicle and getting out to walk. She’d asked once again about “decon,” and Sierra had answered, once again, in the negative.

Lighting a cigar, Kashena did her best to walk off her anger. What the fuck was up with this? Did she really enjoy him that much that she had to fuck him every night? What did that say? That Sierra really wasn’t into women, was what it told Kashena. That when Sierra had needed someone while Jason was away, Kashena had been a substitute, but now that he was back…

Sierra stood next to the vehicle, watching Kashena stride down the path, smoking and generally looking pissed off. She was nervous—she could sense things were coming to a head, and she had no idea how to stop them from doing so. Jason was relentless about sex, and it was making her crazy. She’d tried to stave off his attentions as much as possible, but he wouldn’t leave her alone. It was as if he somehow sensed that in having sex with her, he was keeping her from something else. She hated it more than she could begin to explain.

In truth, too, she was afraid to admit to Kashena that she was unable to find a suitable way to reject Jason’s advances without causing too much of a fight. It was a horrible situation to be in. She didn’t want to fight with Jason, not while Colby was in the house, and certainly not about something so personal and private as sexual relations. And what excuse could she give Jason? “Sorry, I can’t have sex with you because my girlfriend won’t touch me for forty-eight hours after you have”? It just wouldn’t work.

“This isn’t going to work,” Kashena said as she strode back to the SUV, echoing Sierra’s own thoughts. “I can’t keep on like this.”

“Kashena, please,” Sierra said, her tone pleading. “I know things are really hard right now, but I’m sure things will settle down with Jason soon. He’s just… I mean, he was in the Middle East for so long…”

“You think he didn’t fuck anything that wore a skirt there?” Kashena snapped, knowing male Marines better than most.

She regretted the sharp rejoinder a moment later when Sierra paled. But then she realized that Sierra was upset that her husband was sleeping with other women… The word fuck! screamed through her head.

Kashena moved toward the driver’s side of the vehicle.

“Look,” she said, her voice hardening significantly, “I thought I could deal with this, but I can’t. So, we need to stop seeing each other.”

“But…” Sierra began, getting into the vehicle as Kashena was. “I mean, what about this? The protection part?” she asked, stunned beyond reasoning.

Kashena nodded, feeling a little bit more of her ego get ripped away. “You don’t have to worry about the protection part,” she said icily.
