Chapter 1
It's so quiet in here, where is everyone? Where's Charley?
The
garage was empty save for him… or so he thought.
Modo walked up
to the stairs leading up to Charley's apartment above the garage
and climbed them up to the second level. As he walked through the
living room a sweet scent aroused his senses… it was coming from
the bathroom.
Ummm, smells like flowers and woman…
Modo
took a deep breath and followed the scent. The door was ajar, steam
fogging up the mirrors.
He put his left hand on the door and
slowly pushed it open the rest of the way.
Oh momma...
Charley
lay in a bathtub filled with mousse, her head leaning back against
the tub in a messy bun on the top of her head. Rebellious strands
fell down around her face and shoulders. Her right leg hanging over
the rim of the tub, her toenails decorated with red nail polish.
"I
was wondering
when you'd show up… " Modo looked up, startled that he'd been
caught gawking. He felt his knees go weak when she looked up at him
with eyes burning with arousal. She crooked her finger at him,
gesturing him to come over.
"I…
I'm sorry Charley ma'am. Didn't mean to intrude. I shouldn't
have bothered you… I should just l-"
"Ssshhhh…It's
okay. I've seen the way you look at me. The way you undress me with
your eyes when you
think I'm not looking…" Modo blushed profusely, ashamed of his
thoughts. She's gonna kill me.
"I
like it…" His head snapped up in surprise.
"To be honest…" Charley blushed, "I've always dreamed of you touching me… caressing me…" She took his flesh hand and placed it on her breast and gasped when his big grey furred hand came in contact with her soft silky skin. Modo's knees buckled as he groaned, his hand feeling like it was burning from the intimate touch.
"Oh darlin', I've dreamed of makin' love to you on so many nights… so many lonely nights," He brushed the hair off her forehead with his metal hand and slowly leaned down to kiss her mouth. Charley moaned into his mouth, and sunk deeper into the bathtub.
"You
know… there's enough room for two in this tub," Modo moaned
against her mouth, thinking he had to be the luckiest mouse in the
universe. Slowly he removed his chest piece and then his boots,
pants, and boxer
briefs.
Charley gasped and bit her lower lip at the sight of his
big, very well-built body. Her eyes rested on the very imposing proof
of his desire for her and widened at the size.
He
saw the apprehension in her gaze and climbed in the bathtub, resting
his knees between her legs. Rubbing her shoulders, and kissing her
neck he murmured against her silky skin,
"It may be big, but
it's very gentle," his mouth trailed up under her ear and gently
sucked on her earlobe while his hands made their way down her body in
the hot water until they reached their destination.
Charley
breathed in sharply, throwing her head back in abandon when his
fingers hit home…
Oh momma… Modo… Modo!!
"Modo!
Wake up!! Wake up Modo!" Throttle shook him harder this
time.
"What? What the – " Realizing that he was asleep, Modo
sighed in disappointment and sat up in his bunk.
"Sorry bro.
Must have dozed off," He rubbed the fur on his head and looked up
sheepishly at Throttle.
"Musta been one heck of a dream,"
"Why
you say that?"
Throttle
grinned and looked down Modo's pants. Modo followed his gaze and
blushed at the 'tent-pole' in his pants.
"Aw… it's been
a while I guess," Modo took the pillow he had rested his head on
and covered himself.
"I guess huh? So… when you gonna talk to
Charley?"
"How do you-? What?" Modo's blush darkened, and
Throttle chuckled at Modo's confused look.
"You said her name
in your sleep. It's not the first time either."
Throttle
walked over to the fridge and took out two root beers. Giving one to
Modo, he pulled up a chair and sat in front of Modo.
"Oh momma,
what am I gonna do?"
"How about givin' her some o' that
old Modo charm?" Modo looked at him skeptically,
"Yeah
right…"
"Who's senses are you guys gonna wreak havoc on
this time?" Charley's voice came from the doorway of the
scoreboard.
"Huh?" Throttle turned around and saw the small
red spots on her cheeks. I
wonder how long she's been there?
"Mouse
charm is a dangerous weapon," she winked at Modo as she walked in
and closed the door behind her.
"Everything ok
Charley-girl?"
"Everything is great actually!" she sat on
the counter of their make-shift kitchen and regarded them with a look
of innocence.
"Uh oh! I know that look," Vinnie came over and
crossed his arms.
"What's up sweetheart?"
"Oh nothing…
I don't know if you guys have something similar on mars, but today
is October 31st. It's Halloween!" Charley tried to hide the
excitement in her voice, but the look on her face gave her away.
Modo
smiled at how happy she looked. Man
she's beautiful…
"What's
Halloween?" Throttle took another look swig of his root beer and
walked over to where she sat on their counter.
"A day where kids
get to dress up like witches, zombies, vampires, and other neat
costumes and go door to door to get candy,"
"We're a little
old for candy babe. So are you for that matter," Modo chuckled at
Throttle's comment.
"No way you'd pass for child Charley
ma'am," not
with those curves…
"I
know that you big lugs. But there are parties for adults. There's
dancing… food… drinks…women..." She added the last one hoping
that it would coax them to come with her.
The
only woman I need there is you darlin',
Modo wanted to say out loud but didn't.
"Aren't you forgetting
one thing?"
"What's that?"
"We're mice."
"That's
the best part!"
"What?" They all looked at her like she'd
lost her mind.
"It's Halloween! There's no need to hide.
People will just think that you guys are in costume."
"I don't
know…" Throttle rubbed the fur at the back of his neck, unsure if
it would pass, but really wanting to get out of the
scoreboard.
"Pppllleeeaaassseee…." Charley put her hands
together in front of her in earnest.
"Well what do you guys
think? Should we go out for a night out on the town?"
Modo
stood up and walked over to Charley, and put his bionic arm around
her shoulders. He always loved how she didn't shrink back from him.
Like it was just a normal arm.
"I think it's a great idea.
Besides, I like the whole idea of dressin' up," he winked at
Charley and grinned when she blushed.
"Yeah… you're the only
one bro," Modo regarded Vinnie with a look stern look, to which he
raised his hands in defeat, "Fine! Fine! We go then."
"Great!"
Charley jumped off the counter and clapped her hands in excitement.
She stood up on her tippy-toes and still had to pull Modo down to
whisper,
"Thank you," and kissed his cheek.
