"Sorry." Melissa said as she walked up behind Lucy, who was opening another bottle of wine in the kitchen.

"For what?"

"All this. With Michael and everything."

"Oh Mel, don't worry. I knew right away this had nothing to do with you. It has Mom written all over it."

"That obvious huh?"

"Yep!" she smiled.

"She called me Thursday night, telling me how 'thrilled' you'd be if I asked Mike over for dinner as a surprise. I had every intention of telling you in advance though, but he got to you first."

"Really don't worry. If I know my Mother it would have been less a request, more an order."

"Yeah that's pretty much how it went." Lucy handed her two glasses of wine to carry back into the dining room.

"We were gonna meet and catch up at some point. And doing it over wine has been more fun than coffee." she said as they started to walk.

When they reached the dining room, Mike and Melissa's husband Nick, were still talking animatedly about base ball.

"Thanks babe." he said as she but the wine down infront of him, offering him a tight smile. She knew he was a bit drunk, but she had never liked it when he'd called her that. Or anyone else for that matter...OK maybe there was one person she didn't mind so much. Her smile brightened a little at the thought of him. God she normally hated it when anyone over the age of 15 got all googly eyed and giggly over the opposite sex. Now look at her!

After more wine and embarrassing stories, Nick suggested they take their drinks out into the back yard. It was a hot night and it was getting pretty airless in the house. They all agreed it was a good idea. "Lucy, you want another drink?" Melissa asked as she and Nick left the room.

"Yeah sure. I still have another hour at least." Mike looked to her as he stood up from the table.

"What, you bailing on us? Little late for work isn't it?"

"Er, no Mac is coming for me soon...that's all."

"Oh. Right, well, cool. You stay there a lot now huh?"

"Yeah I do." she said matter of factly, not particularly liking his tone.

"Shouldn't be surprised really, you always did like to experiment."

"I'm sorry what?"

"Noting I'm just saying, you always like to step out of your comfort zone every now and again when it came to guys. I've seen those little bruises you have when you've been at his place. I get it babe. Sometimes rough is fun."

"OK you know what!" she snapped "I have always given you a little extra rope when you've been drinking, as far as I can remember back it's always turned you into a raging ass hole! But drunk or sober, you don't get to talk me like that. And that goes for Mac too. You don't know him! And by the sounds of it, you don't know me half as well as you think you do either!" She grabbed her glass and stormed past him "See you in the yard."

"Everything OK?" Melissa asked as Lucy walked though the kitchen.

"Yeah it's fine...now."

Nick and Mike mainly carried on their conversation about sports outside while Lucy and Melissa talked lightly. Occasionally Mike would flick a glance towards Lucy but she made sure she gave him nothing back, one way or the other. At about 11pm truck lights flooded over the back fence. "OK so I guess that's my ride." Lucy said drinking off the last of her wine. She didn't look at Mike as she stood up. She hugged Mel and kissed Nick on the cheek. "Thanks for dinner you two, it was great as usual. I'll call in the morning, promise." A chorus of "OK. Take cares and be carefuls" came back from the two.

"It was fun catching up Mike. Talk to you later." she gave a barely there smile as she turned and walked back through the house towards the front door, picking her bag from the bottom of the stairs as she went. When she opened the door Mac was sat in the drivers seat. He leant on his elbow on the frame of the open window and was rubbing the scruff on his chin with the fingers of his right hand.

"Hey, you ready?"

"Yep!" Was she! What with not seeing him since last night and the wine sloshing nicely around her system, causing a very pleasant buzz. Oh yeah, she was ready.

"So, how was it?" he asked as he pulled out of the driveway.

"Good. Fun to spend a few hours with Mel, and her cooking is awesome. I'm not gonna lie."

"Mike have fun?" he said without looking at her.

"Seemed to. He's pretty wasted right now. Always was a bit of a light weight when is came to drink." Mac chuckled.

"Always knew city boys was pussies."

"Unlike you guys who just like pussy huh?" OK, maybe the wine had loosened her up more than she first thought. Mac gave her a quick glance then looked back at the road. She wore a black tank top with the outline of a purple skull on the front, skinny jeans and those fucking biker boots that drove him nuts. He could see that look on her face, when she looked at him like that, the devil himself couldn't keep her clothes on. Not that he'd want to though once he saw her naked. Lucifer would have to give the almighty props for creating a body like that. Mac rubbed his index under his bottom lips as he spoke.

"Don't make me pull this truck over." he warned her.

"It's OK. I'll just sit here and take care of myself while you drive. You don't mind do you?" with that she started pulling at the belt of her jeans.

He pulled over.

Mac was finding it hard to concentrate at work the next day and all of it was down to Lucy. First she'd woken him up this morning with her mouth clamped around his cock then she'd climbed on him and ridden until until he came. Still turned on after the hottest wake up call he'd ever gotten he'd turned her over on her back and they'd done it again before he dragged himself out of bed. Just before he went out the door she'd walked out of the bedroom, wearing the tiniest pair of lacy black panties and one of his t-shirts so once again his dick started straining at the leash as she came over to him.

"I'll have dinner ready for when you get home tonight." She pushed herself up on her tip toes and kissed him quickly before pulling away. Then she whipped off her shirt and covered her breasts with her hands. "I'm gonna get a shower. Have a nice day baby." She smiled as she turned and walked to the bathroom, she gave him one last teasing look over her shoulder before she vanished.

"Holy fuck!" He said to himself as he let himself breathe again. She could turn him into a domineering animal when she wanted, then a drooling horny train wreck within a split second. Today was going to be the latter. He was going to be for shit until he got home and was back inside her. He slid from under the car he was working on when he heard a familiar voice. "Shit ma' day just gets better n' better." he said to himself as he stood up and made his way over Mike who was stood at the door chatting to one of the guys.

"It's OK Lewis I got this." Mac said, wiping his hands on his oily rag as both men turned to look at him.

"Mac." Was all Mike said.

"Mike." mac said return. "So what can I do for ya?"

"I think my tracking is a little off. Wondered if you could take a look for me." Mac looked over at Mike's car that was parked outside then back at him "That it there?"

"Yeah that's it."

"Nice. Kay wait here, I'll check it over."

"Thanks man."

"No problem." Mac smiled to himself as he walked to the car. To check the tracking would usually take him about 5 minutes. But he was gonna be a little more thorough with this one. Yeah he checked the tracking. Then the breaks, the oil pressure, tire pressure, even got some of the other boys find shit to do on it. The more he looked at Mike, the more agitated he was getting. Eventually when he thought he'd been tortured not nearly enough, he took the keys back to him.

"Nothin' wrong with it. Should be trackin' straight and true."

"Wow does it normally take that long." Mac struggled to cover his smirk.

"Can't be too careful."

Yeah...I guess. Okay thanks. How much do I owe?"

"Ain't nothin' didn't have to do anything really."

Oh, cool, well...thanks again."

"You know I have to tell you I think it's pretty fuckin pathetic." Mac said as Mike turned away.

"Sorry what?" He said, turning back.

"You was with her last night. Could have just asked her if I was workin' today. Then you'd a known she be home by herself." Mike swallowed hard and tried not to let the panic that was rising in his stomach show on his face.

"Sorry man I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh right. So ain't gonna get in your car right now and head over to my place?" Mike shook his head and laughed, trying to look incredulous.

"And how could I do that? I don't even know where your place is."

"Oh sure you do Mike!" he said as he slowly started towards him "you've been there a couple of times now, ain't that right?"

"Seriously I don't..."

"Two sets of tire tracks." Mac cut in as he stopped in front of Mike. "See the tires on my buddies cars, I pretty much fitted the lot myself. Keep 'em right in there." He nodded back towards the building. "Ain't non of 'em got the tracks that have been showing up on my drive way the lately...but would you look at that" he crouched down next to the tire "yours are an exact match. Now how do you explain that? So what do ya think she'd say if she knew you were spyin on her? Or do you just like to listen in at night? Make it hotter cus she don't know your there? Well c'mon MIKE what is it!" Mac more spit his name out than said it.

"Think I'm gonna let gutter trash like you take her from me?" Mike spat back with equal venom, knowing this particular game was up. Mac stepped up so there was less than a couple of inches between them.

"Way I see it she was never yours to begin with. Oh yeah, she told me how you trail after her like a sick puppy with you dick between your legs."

"Say what you want you fucking hick. She's just playing with you until she gets bored. A little longer in this ass hole in the middle of nowhere town, she'll realise the grass is greener. Plus I'll be around to remind her." Mac bit hard on the inside of his bottom lip.

"Actually, now you mention it. Tonight when I'm face down HER grass. I'll be sure to let her know you stopped by." Mike stepped up closer to Mac, taking a handful of his overalls. Mac didn't move and neither did his eyes. His stare was like ice.

"Everything OK Mac?" Lewis said, appearing at the door with the other guy Christian.

"Everything's fine. Mike was just going home weren't you Mike?" Mike looked over his shoulder at the other two men. Deep down he knew he probably wouldn't be able to take Mac by himself, never mind Mac plus two.

This isn't over" he said letting go of his overalls "I'm not leaving without her."

"Then I guess you aint leavin." his rock hard demeanour never wavering.
