Chapter 12

Christy's POV

Riding back home in the truck, I was thinking about meeting the guys this evening, I was glad to have gotten to meet Woody and Hal, both seemed sweet. How in the world Carlos finds all these hot men is beyond me, the women that work in the office must have fans on them all day. Come to think of it I have never met any women from the office.

"Carlos, how many women work in your office?"

"Only the housekeeper. She takes care of cleaning the building while her husband does the other maintenance the building needs. They are my aunt and uncle on my mother's side."

I nodded in understanding. It made sense really, at the shop there was only the receptionist who was female and I did not count me. Usually in security, you didn't think about women being in that field of work either.

Surprisingly, Lester was quiet on the drive back, I wondered why, he never shuts up. Men talked about women being gabby, Lester seemed like the office gossip. "Lester, are you okay back there?"

"Yes Gorgeous, just thinking that is all."

Oh Lord, I thought. Lester and thinking, that cannot be good. Carlos had told me what happens when Lester thinks, it is usually followed by an office prank. I bit the bullet.

"Whatcha, thinking about?"

"We need hot chicks working in the office rather than just a bunch of guys."

"Carlos, I would never hire another female to work in the office, Lester is a sexual harassment suit looking for a place to happen."

"He is the reason we do not have women working in there."

"You two knock it off, I can behave if I have to."

Carlos replied back, "Sure you can, and I am the president."

I chuckled, Lester and behave in the same sentence, yeah, right.

When we arrived back at the house, Lester helped me out of the truck and straight into his arms, then he kissed me, on the mouth, in front of Carlos. I thought my eyes were going to bug out of my head and I could not wait to see Carlos' reaction.

"Excuse me, what was that for?"

"Sorry, I got carried away with all that talk about hot females working in the office."

He gave me a shit-eating grin that told me he had done it just to be ornery, in a silent reply I ignored him and shook my head. Carlos gave him an invite to meet him on the mats in the morning if he did not stop.

Lester told us he was going on back to the office and he would see me soon and Carlos in the morning at the office. I bid him a good night and Carlos just nodded. They had some weird ESP crap. Carlos threw me over his shoulder and took off towards the front door, before setting me down he smacked my ass, I managed to get a smack in on his fine ass too. I laughed and giggled at the exchange between us, when I looked up at him, he had a feral look in his eyes and I knew this evening was just getting started.

I backed in the door and turned to make an escape but it was useless, he had me in his arms before I made it two steps. He pushed me onto the couch before covering me with his body and kissing me senseless. Eventually he let me up and wanted me to straddle his lap as usual.

"I had a wonderful time with the guys this evening, I really like Woody and Hal."

"They liked you too. What will you do with all that extra time?"

"You say that like a joke but you have no idea how much that will help me. It will allow me to slow down some. I can make some of the soups I like to preserve, veggie soup and tomato soup, the guys love both. Thank you for doing that for me."

"You are welcome."

I gave him a long soft kiss on his sweet lips, I never got tired of kissing him. Probably never would. He deepened the kiss and it took a passionate turn. This man was lightening fast, he had me out of my bra and shirt practically without breaking our kiss. I had to help him out of his shirt of course.

When we broke apart, Carlos asked, "What things do you enjoy sexually, when we are together?"

I thought for a moment, "I am not sure what you mean, what we did the other night was great."

"Okay, do you have any fantasies? Besides what we did, is there other things you enjoy, being tied up, two on one, that type of sex?"

I was a little put off by his questions and really nervous. One thing I did not want to talk about was how Alex died, it was not pleasant.

"I..I..really never do anything like that. I guess I have always been vanilla. Is there something you like?"

I was dreading hearing his answer, I knew this was going to open up a conversation I did not want to have or hear.

"I enjoy everything. My favorite things to do is BDSM, but I like other things as well."

I moved to get off of him, the conversation just moved to an area I was definitely not comfortable with. Unfortunately, he stopped me.

"Did I say or do something wrong?"

"No, it is just my luck. BDSM is something I will not do. I told you Alex died, I just did not tell you how."

I waited for a moment, and he acknowledged my pain and allowed me to get off of him.

"Alex and I had a perfect relationship up until the last couple months of his life. He started watching porn on the internet, he got started watching bondage to be exact. Eventually he wanted to go places to participate in it, he wanted to be tied up, I went a couple times but I could not take it. I could not 'punish' him, so I allowed him to go without me. Long story, short. The whatever she is, had handcuffed him to the bed feet and wrist, then there was an electrical fire in the building. The woman panicked, ran from the room and left Alex behind trapped, he died in that fire. So no, I will never do that."

The last part came out in sobs, he held me while I cried and rubbed circles on my back. Finally he started speaking in Spanish to me but I was too upset to understand.

"Precious, I am so sorry for your loss. I understand, no we will never do that, I did not mean to upset you so, please, please forgive me for bringing it up."

It took some time but eventually I calmed back down. When I could finally speak again, I elaborated on what I had learned after the fire, too little too late the damage was done and my husband was gone.

"The place had multiple fire code violations and nobody should have been occupying the building. For some reason, the fire marshal never enforced the restrictions or somebody paid him off, I don't know."

"Wow, I am really sorry for ever mentioning any of this. One thing I did not want to do was cause you pain and I can see I have caused a lot this evening. Let's go to bed and let you recoup."

The feral look in his eyes was gone, he had a look of concern and compassion, it bothered him that he had caused me pain, it was not just his words but the look and the tenderness he showed me the rest of the evening.

Good thing I was not ticklish, Carlos was spooned into me and rubbing circles on my stomach with his fingertips. It probably would have tickled most people, but only certain parts of my body were ticklish, the backs of my knees mainly. I relaxed into his arms and was calmed even more by his tenderness.

I answered his question from earlier, "A threesome has always been a fantasy of mine, Alex never wanted another man with us, and I did not want another woman involved."

If possible, I snuggled closer to him, I felt him kiss my shoulder a couple times before I drifted off to a restless sleep. I had nightmares from the night of the fire and being told Alex was gone, I woke with a start, Carlos was not there, I was alone in the bed.

I got up and went in the bathroom, it was only about 2AM. I wandered through the rest of the house, but he was nowhere to be found. Not sure whether to call him, I let him be, maybe he had an emergency call from the office. My next waking moment was feeling the bed dip, he was back.

"Everything okay?"

"Yes, we had an emergency, Cal was shot, I had to go to the hospital."

"Is he going to be okay?"

"Yeah, they are going to keep him a couple days, just to be sure. Go back to sleep."

I had no trouble doing that, I was out like a light. The alarm went off at 6AM, quietly, I slipped out of bed not wanting to wake Carlos since he had a long night. Luckily, I did not wake him, I peeked at him, he looked exhausted. I was not sure if he was supposed to be off today, so I finished in the bathroom, before gently sitting on the bed and waking him.

In a low voice I asked, "Hey baby are you working today?"

He replied in a very sleepy voice, "Not now but later. Are you?"

"Just long enough to do payroll, I will be back in an hour. Go back to sleep and I will come back and join you."

Then I kissed him on the cheek before leaving for the shop. Payroll was simple, everybody was on a salary and bonus checks would be done next week, mainly this week was print and sign. I gave them out on Thursday evenings.

When I went back in the house, Carlos was still asleep, I slipped my clothes off and slid back in bed with him. He felt nice and warm, I went back to sleep easily. A couple hours later, I was woke up by having kisses placed up and down my neck and gentle little nips thrown in for good measure. A very nice way to wake up. As soon as he knew I was awake, I found myself under him.

He kissed his way down my body, paying special attention to various parts that interest a man the most, before settling in one of his favorite spots on my body. As he had me building to a mind blowing climax, my hips bucked of their own accord. When my orgasm took me, I knew my eyes rolled into the back of my head, cause I am pretty sure I saw gray matter. Once my body started to calm and my breathing returning to normal, I heard him say welcome back.

Did I mention he had a way with his tongue? Jeez he was awesome.

He positioned himself over me and I looked forward to what was coming next. Slowly he slid himself into me, I moaned at the pleasure of starting my morning off right, before continuing on he stilled for a minute.

"Have I told you exactly how good it feels to be in you?"

"No you haven't. How good does it feel?"

"Like" (thrust) "heaven" (thrust) "here on" (thrust) "earth." (thrust)

I liked the pounding action this morning, and was glad to meet him thrust for thrust. With as sensitive as my body was, I knew it would not take long to get another orgasm, as soon as that one was over, I could feel another one building.

"Let's go together Precious," the last part came out as a strained growl as his own orgasm exploded through his body. I joined him.

We laid there still joined together, recuperating for a few minutes. He moved to get up, slowly pulling himself out of my body. I, however, laid there a little longer, reminiscing about what had just happened, the pleasure I enjoyed, yum and the thoughts that I would love some more of him.

I heard the shower come on and a voice from the bathroom, "Would you like to join me?" That got me moving, I wanted to join him in the shower, join him on the couch, in the bed. Whoops, that was not the joining he meant at the moment, bummer.

When we finished in the shower, we dried off and got dressed. "What are your plans for the rest of the day?"

"I am going to the hospital to check on Cal, then go to the office, there is a ton of paperwork waiting on me. What are your plans?"

"Go to the shop, check over a car that is due to leave tomorrow, that will take most of the day."

"I will try to be back by 1800." He shook his head. "6PM."

I smiled, he knew I hated trying to figure out military time. Before leaving he gave me a kiss good-bye, one that should hold me for the rest of the day. I continued to smile.

Around 1PM, he called, "Lester and I are going to Shorty's for lunch, would you like to join us?"

"Sure, I would love to go."

"Be there in ten," and he was gone.

I told Eric where I was going and that I had no clue how long I would be gone. I walked over to my house to change shirts, while I was there, Carlos came in. His eyes darkened when he saw me with no shirt, he crossed the room in three strides and wrapped his arms around my bare midsection. I moaned, while moving my left arm and hand to his hair and side of his face.

"Hey baby, I had dust all over my shirt from sanding on a car, I thought I would change before leaving."

The feral look from last night was back, he spun me around then kissed down my neck and onto my chest. He made his way to my breast sucking on the nipple through the fabric of my bra and eventually raking his teeth over the now hard nipple, he repeated the process on the other breast.

"I thought we were going to lunch with Lester?"

He stopped, "We are along with a couple of the other men you have not met, Bobby and Manny will be there too. We had better go before I forget about eating food and have you for lunch instead."

I slipped a clean t-shirt on and we left. We arrived at Shorty's a few minutes later, the guys were already waiting on us. Ranger introduced us and Lester gave me a hug and kiss, at least this one was not on the mouth. I was seated between Lester and Ranger again, both had a hand on my thighs.

When our food arrived these guys did not wait to see if I moaned when I ate, Woody and Hal must have warned them. Over all the conversation was nice between us and there was no awkward silences.

Bobby and Manny were funny, I learned that Bobby was usually Lester's partner on the street, but had been teaming up with Manny since Lester had been hanging more with Ranger.

I noticed Ranger was letting me more and more into his life by slowly introducing me to his staff, it was comforting to know he was accepting me and last night's conversation didn't turn him off.
