Once upon a time in Mexico

A new beginning

Chapter eight: Meeting Luce, making arrangements for a new set of eyes

A two o clock that afternoon Sands and Dom met Luce at her own clinic. Luce had taken one look at Sands had murmured to Dom having no idea how unbelievably sharp Sands hearing truly was. "Holy fucking shit he's hot and I mean seriously hot."

Dom had grinned as she and she alone noticed how Sands was trying to smoother his mirth. She replied in all honesty. "Naturally you think he's hot now, you should have seen him when a set of dark deep browns eyes had been apart of the gorgeous assemble."

Luce began to blush a violet shade of red when Dom said this out aloud and in front of Sands, who was grinning like a self satisfied Cheshire cat, Dom was waiting for him to start purring.

In order to cover her embarrassment Luce glared at Dom who matched Sands grin. Luce spoke "ok I will need you to remove your glasses so I can take a clay impression of your eye sockets. Lay back on this bed while I begin to mix the clays ingredients together."

Sands raised an eye brow and commented warningly "alright but don't say I didn't warn you first, this isn't gonna be pretty." Luce snorted "oh please, you think your eyeless sockets are gonna spook me? Give me a dam break I'm an eye surgeon, I've removed and replaced more eyes then I care to count."

Sands chuckled he liked this women, she had spunk, he could definitely see why Dom liked her and was friends with her. He shook his head in amusement climbing up onto the bed after removing his shoes and leather jacket and passing his glasses to Dom.

Dom passed Luce a photo of Sands taken before he had been sent to Mexico. She had said "you really had a nice set of eyes, which makes what those animals did to you even more fucking atrocious."

Five minutes later Luce left the clay paste to settle before using it on Sands. She walked over to Sands and leaned over him and begun to examine his empty sockets. She snorted in disgust and was heard mumbling venomously "fucking sadistic amateurs, giving people in my profession a bad name and reputation."

Sands had to bite his lip to smoother a grin of amusement; he couldn't resist asking Dom "Dom, tell me, she wouldn't happen to be a red head would she?"

Dom and Luce snorted at this Luce answered for him instead "yeah has a matter of fact I am indeed a one hundred percent natural red head. What's it to you any way?"

Sands smirked and replied "nothing really just wanting something solid to confirm my suspicions regarding your obvious spitfire temper you seem to having going here."

Luce chuckled before turning to retrieve the now fully usable clay mixture. She turned to Sands and informed him "I thought I might as well warn you, this is going to be uncomfortable, not highly so but still not what can be considered as a relaxing massage."

Luce had been right and she and Dom were treated to his extensive vocabulary that you wouldn't find in any dictionary of any known language any time soon.

In order for him to relax he had taken Dom's hand and proceeded to gently rub his thumb in soothing circles on her wrist, to distract him.

He wasn't the only one who ended up distracted either, much to Luce's amusement. She had mouthed to Dom "we are so gonna talk after I'm done with him James no doubt."

Sands wouldn't have minded but the clay was irritating the bared nerves that his eyes had been attached to. It was fucking infuriating to say the least. It wasn't agony, but it was a big enough inconvenience to get a completely none positive and pleasant reaction from Sands.

Luce continued to be amused until she had finished. She could clearly see Dom was getting frustrated as Sands played with her fingers absentmindedly, leaving her no outlet to get rid of the frustration.

Even Sands merely playing with her fingers had her hot and bothered and ready to jump him. It amazed her; the effect this man had on her, when she had been with more men then she could count, and none had had such an effect upon her like Sands did.

When Luce removed the newly made cast of Sands Eye sockets she carefully put it to one side to dry. She then proceeded to clean out his sockets of any remaining clay, knowing if she accidentally left any behind that he would be in for quite a lot of discomfort.

She and Dom left sands to put back on his coat and shoes and sun glasses. Luce led her into her office and quickly pounced "ok Dom spill, since when have you been so comfortable with him, the sexual tension was practically rolling off the two of you in waves? I thought you two don't get along."

Sands listened out side the door unknown to the two women. Dom answered "well up until a couple of months ago we didn't. But then over the last month or so we've gotten closer.

Everyone said I was his female counter part, which I considered to be bull shit, that's until I really got a chance to just sit back and talk with him. I truly am like him in more ways then I ever thought possible.

He is so much more complex then I first thought. I really like being around someone I can relate to completely. All I'm going to say is last night we started something, I don't know where it's going to take us, but I'm more then willing to find out."

Luce grinned "you mean you slept with him didn't you?" Dom sighed "you don't miss a trick do you Luce?" Luce snorted in reply.

Sands knocked on the door deciding to make his presence known, and also deciding he liked what he heard. He knew he could safely say the same about her.

Before they left Luce informed Sands that she wanted him to return in two weeks time, when she would conduct the operation restoring his eyes.

She revealed to him that if he took to the treatment and procedure as well as her previous patient had then he would have his eyes and his sight back with the aid of contacts and glasses in four months tops, as that was how long it took for the other guy to heal.
