Chapter 30 Back to Insanity

Hilo, Hawai'i

I walked him to the door and he left without any more fanfare. I turned around and stalked back to the living room. The hit had been called off, my family was safe, but I had to find the man who presented himself as Boris Gonzalez. He got Sergio worked up enough to sign a contract and take twenty five million dollars to kill me.

Somebody wanted me dead. Somebody was willing to work very hard behind the scenes to create an elaborate setup to hide behind. Somebody with a lot of money. Somebody that knew my Special Forces history. Somebody who had researched my family. Somebody with a grudge. Somebody who did not want me to know who they are. It would not be over till I found them.

Monday May 24 16:10

I called all the men into the living room from the hallway.

"Great job men." I told them. "I am leaving my credit card with Bastimento Restaurante under the name Rodrico Sanchez. Go order a feast to eat on the plane to celebrate this successful mission. I have a stop to make but when I get back to the plane we are done and headed back to California."

Cheering went up around the room. I called the Bastimento Restaurante to give them my order and open the bill for all my men. Told them anyone that used my name I was paying for. I texted the men back at the plane to call in their orders and we would pick them up and bring them back to them. On the way I stopped at the attorney's office and dropped off the signed contracts. Thanked them for all their hard work and told them I would be in touch.

We drove under cloudy skys back to the plane and I hoped rainy weather wouldn't hold us up. Upon arriving the pilots were already there and the plane had been fueled. The men were celebrating. Many of them with beer or liquor that they'd picked up along the way. Soon enough we were headed back to California.

While on the flight I pulled Snark aside.

"I need to hire you to find a few people and to put your ear to the ground for me."

"Of course, what do you need?"

"I need you to find this guy that was going by Boris Gonzalez. We will be searching for him electronically and giving you all the information, we have. I need you to find the assassin known as Montoya. He has taken a hit out on my life and told me he wasn't going to come after me till I was old but I'm not willing to live with that hanging over my head any longer. I need you to find Antonio Esposito. He is Italian but last I knew he was on the run and wanted in several European countries and the US. His wife and kids got the house and all the money he had left. He has gotten hold of my service records that were posted on line and has been feeding my personal information to my enemies." He is also known by my family as Emilio. "We may find that Antonio is Boris Gonzalez. If he is, he has found money from somewhere and I want to take it all. I will pay you in advance for all of them."

"Do you want me to end them when I find them?"

"If Antonio is Boris yes I will pay you to end him. When you find Montoya I want to have a conversation with him. See if I can pay him more to take out the person who took the hit out on me. The last person is a ghost but I will pay you triple your usual fee to find him."

"Who do you need me to find."

"Christopher Untaki."

"The one that posts all the classified documents?"

"That would be the one. I need him to stop. Every time he reposts my history it gets people riled up to kill me. I'm tired of it. He leaves no electronic trail; do you think you can find him?"

"Actually I already found him once. He has eight years of my military records but there are several fucked up missions that he keeps reposting and I just need it stopped. When I found him, I alerted SOCOM and it took them three days to put together a sting and they missed him." Snark confided.

"This time we aren't alerting anyone. It is a retrieve and destroy. We get all of the records he has and we eliminate the threat. You can actually name your price on this one and I will pay it."

"Done. I will find him in the next three months. Guaranteed." Snark insisted.

"Thank you. I will have a team researching Boris and Antonio. I will give them your info and have them pass all leads on to you."

As Snark pulled out his phone to begin research I found Hector in the middle of the plane.

"Hector, me gustaría invitarte a venir a Hawaii conmigo. La familia estará allí hasta el sábado. No es una vacación tan larga como te mereces, así que si quieres permanecer más tiempo, puedes tomar un vuelo comercial cuando lo desees." I asked. (Hector I would like to invite you to come to Hawaii with me. The family will be there till Sunday. It's not as long a vacation as you deserve so if you want to stay longer you can and take a commercial flight back whenever you want.)

"Si El Jefe. Iré a Hawai contigo." (Yes Boss. I'll come to Hawaii with you.)

"Bueno. Quiero hablar contigo más cuando estemos en el aire." (Good. I want to talk to you more when we are in the air.)

We landed at 22:15 and everyone got ready to depart.

"Thank you everyone for coming to babysit the celebrities this week. The party in Palmsdale was successful and it got over early. Remember to send me pictures of you in a suit if you haven't yet. You should expect payment by next week and everyone is getting a bonus. Hector and Tank will you stay?"

I wished everyone well and gave a lot of handshakes and backslaps. Everyone told me to call them if I'm hosting another party soon. I told them I would let them know. I stepped further away from the door as the heat from the day was wafting up into the cabin.

It took an hour to get a fuel truck out to fill us up and I talked to Tank while we waited.

"All reports from RangeMan are normal, nothing happened over the weekend. I'll book a flight as soon as I get back to LAX. Hopefully I can get a red eye tonight, otherwise it will be in the morning."

"Thanks for coming and bringing all the additional guns. The whole weekend turned out better than expected and having all the extra men really made it go smoother. There was less to blow up per person, but as a result we got it done faster and more efficiently."

"Anytime Ranger."

"Everyone on this trip is getting a small bonus but if you promise not to leave RangeMan you will be getting several million."

"How much did you take him for?"

"Between Hector and Bones they transferred over 1.3 billion from his business accounts. I paid the cartels four hundred fifty million. Then I paid the business partners another three hundred ten million. This trip is costing about one hundred fifty million. I should have about three hundred fifty million give or take a few."

Tank let out a low whistle.

"How much were you expecting?" Tank asked me.

"I was hoping to walk away with at least one hundred million. We still have a killer out there on the loose and this may stir other enemies of mine to try to go after my family or Stephanie. I wanted to have enough that I could make everyone disappear forever if I needed to or pay for permanent protection details. Whatever my family can live with."

"Stephanie as your fiancé is going to need a permanent protection detail."

"I know I just haven't discussed it with her yet. It may be a deal breaker for her, but I'm hoping we can come to a compromise."

"When are you coming back?"

"The cruise is finished on Saturday. I'm going to give my family the option to stay in Hawaii Saturday and come home Sunday."

"That sounds reasonable. When are you going to be back in the office?"

"Depends on Stephanie. I expect to be there Sunday night so if you need me call me. But I want to get her situated on seven and spend a couple of days with her getting her acclimated to the idea of being my wife and the security requirements it's going to entail."

"Good luck with that." He scoffed knowing it was going to be a battle.

"I know she will never be a lady of leisure, but I'm hoping with several million dollars she will spend more time doing things she enjoys and less time stressing over her job."

I gave him a man hug, a complicated handshake, and he departed the plane. I went to go sit down by Hector.

"¿Está funcionando el wifi del avión incluso cuando estamos sentados aquí?" I asked him.(Is the plane's wifi working even when we are sitting here?) I asked him.

"No ahora. Toda la electrónica está apagada. Pero una vez que encienden la cabina, se enciende la conexión inalámbrica ". (Not right now. All the electronics are turned off. But once they fire up the cockpit the wireless comes on.)

"Bien cuando lo haga, quiero pagarte". (Good when it does I want to pay you.)

"Tengo dinero, no es necesario que me pagues ahora". Hector told me. (I have money, you don't need to pay me now.) Hector told me.

"Si, lo hago. Quiero pagarte antes de ir de vacaciones porque con el dinero que te doy, es posible que nunca vuelvas ". (Yes I do. I want to pay you before you go on vacation because with the money I'm giving you, you may never come back.)

"Oh, volveré. RangeMan es mi hogar". (Oh I will come back. RangeMan is my home.)

"Bueno, quiero hacerte una oferta especial. Cada hombre que vino en este viaje recibe una bonificación y Bones también por todo su trabajo. Me gustaría darle más pero sé que significa que probablemente se vaya de RangeMan y se tome unas vacaciones permanentes. Realmente me gustaría si todavía trabajas para mí al menos a tiempo parcial. Si todavía está dispuesto a trabajar para RangeMan, tengo una nueva posición que me gustaría que cumpliera ". I explained. (Well I want to make a special offer to you. Every man that came on this trip is getting a bonus and Bones as well for all his work. I would like to give you more but I know it means you will probably leave RangeMan and take a permanent vacation. I would really like it if you would still work for me at least part-time. If you are still willing to work for RangeMan I have a new position I'd like you to fill.) I explained.

"No voy a dejar RangeMan", Hector replied indignantly. " Me salvaste la vida y te debo por brindarme un hogar seguro y un lugar para mis habilidades.". (I'm not leaving RangeMan.) Hector replied indignantly. (You saved my life and I owe you for giving me a safe home and a place for my skills.)

"Has estado a cargo de las instilaciones y quiero promocionar a Shawn para ese puesto. Quiero hacerte a cargo de todas las computadoras. Cuando comencé con RangeMan, contratamos a Granger Computers y Electronics para manejar todas nuestras necesidades y una vez al año revisan nuestros sistemas y actualizan todo. Pero cada vez que lo hacemos tenemos que ocultar los programas y todos nuestros archivos para que no puedan ver nada sensible. Ahora quiero que esté a cargo de nuestros sistemas informáticos para las cuatro ramas. Significaría que tendría que viajar al menos una vez al año para actualizar a todos. Pero te pagaré lo que quieras ". I told him. (You have been in charge of instillations and I want to promote Shawn to that position. I want to make you in charge of all the computers. When I started RangeMan, we hired Granger Computers and Electronics to handle all our needs and once a year they come in check our systems and update everything. But every time we do that we have to hide the programs and all our files so they can't see anything sensitive. Now I want to make you in charge of our computer systems for all four branches. It would mean you would have to travel at least once a year to update everyone. But I will pay you whatever you want.) I told him.

"Solo pido que consiga mi propia oficina en cualquier piso menos cinco. Quiero tener un lugar seguro para mis cosas ". Hector said. (I just ask that I get my own office on any floor but five. I want to have a secure place for my equipment.) Hector said.

"Claro, dime qué tan grande y te construiremos el tamaño que quieras con tu propio habitación segura, pero primero escúchame. Quiero pagarte treinta y dos millones de dólares. Dos millones son tu paga, treinta millones es tu bonificación por un trabajo bien hecho ". I said. (Sure, you tell me how big and we will build you whatever size you want with your own secure room, but first hear me out. I want to pay you thirty two million dollars. Two million is your pay, thirty million is your bonus for a job well done.) I said.

Hector was shocked."No tienes que pagarme tanto". (You don't have to pay me that much.)

"Héctor, has hecho tanto por mí en este viaje. Todo lo que hiciste antes del viaje: la lista de negocios, la hoja de cálculo de las cuentas bancarias," I looked seriously at him. "Viniste cuando ni siquiera estabas invitado. Sabías que te necesitaría y viniste sin que te lo pidieran y trajiste todos tus juguetes. Te sentaste en su habitación mientras lo torturaban y me transfirieron la mayor parte de su dinero mientras miraba, trajiste ese enorme consolador." I couldn't help it a smile crossed my face. (Hector you've done so much for me on this trip. Everything you did before the trip: the list of businesses, the spread sheet of bank accounts,) I looked seriously at him. (You came when you weren't even invited. You knew I would need you and you came without being asked and brought all your toys. You sat in his bedroom while they tortured him and transferred most of his money to me while he watched, you brought that huge dildo.) I couldn't help it a smile crossed my face.

"Pasaste dos días más trabajando con Bones para transferir todo el dinero de las doscientas setenta cuentas comerciales. Lo descargaste y editaste." I turned to him serious again. "El video de él haciendo trámites fue maravilloso para convencer a los hombres de que todo esto era legítimo. Rascal recibirá una gran bonificación por su trabajo en video. Pero el video de él mismo se salvó a mi familia. Eso convenció a Fernando de que Sergio se hizo cargo. La lista de familiares de Fernando lo ayudó a convencerlo de que hablaba en serio y de que se llevaría a toda su familia. Lo compiló tan rápido. Su ayuda fue crítica y después de pensarlo de una vez, le daré una bonificación de cincuenta millones de dólares. No se lo digas a nadie, ni siquiera a Tank, porque incluso él no se está acercando tanto".I told him. (You spent two more days working with Bones to transfer all of the money out of all two hundred seventy business accounts. You downloaded and edited the videos.) I turned to him serious again. (The video of him doing paperwork was wonderful in convincing the men this was all legitimate. Rascal will get a big bonus for his recording. But the video of him shooting himself saved my family. It convinced Fernando that Sergio did himself in. The list of Fernando's relatives helped convince him that I was serious and would take out his whole family. You compiled it so fast. Your help was critical and after thinking of it all at once I'm going to give you a fifty million dollar bonus. Don't tell anyone, not even Tank, because even he is not getting near that much.) I told him.

I knew that paying him that much meant he would probably quit and spend the rest of his life traveling the world. But he deserved it because most of what he did he did because he knew I would need the help. I didn't even have to ask.

"Gracias jefe."(Thanks Boss.)

"Cuando el avión vaya de nuevo y antes de aterrizar en Hawái, transfiérete el dinero. El crucero de la familia regresa a Honolulu el sábado. Voy a ofrecer ponerlos en hoteles y volar el domingo. Si quieres volar de regreso con nosotros ". I offered. (When the plane is going again and before we land in Hawaii transfer yourself the money. The family's cruise gets back to Honolulu Saturday. I'm going to offer to put them up in hotels and fly back Sunday. If you want to fly back with us.) I offered.

" Sí, volveré contigo. Disfruto volando en este agradable avión, mucho mejor que comercial. Además, todavía queda mucho por hacer en este viaje. Paga a todos Asegúrate de que a todos los trabajadores de Columbia se les pague. Obtenga toda la información sobre los negocios y comuníquese con los nuevos propietarios". He said. (Yes I'll come back with you. I enjoy flying on this nice plane, much better than commercial. Plus, there is still a lot of clean up to do from this trip. Pay everyone. Make sure all the workers in Columbia got paid. Get all the information on the businesses and get it to the new owners.) He said.

"No tienes que preocuparte por eso. Voy a hacer que Bones trabaje en eso esta semana. Pero tienes el video descargado. Quiero darte las fotos que tengo y haces un breve video de un minuto que no muestra rostros para que nadie pueda ser identificado, pero da el mensaje claro de que si me buscas te quitaré todo y todos de ti ". I requested. (You don't have to worry about that. I'm going to have Bones work on that this week. But you have the video downloaded. I want to give you the pictures I have and you make a short one minute video that shows no faces so no one can be identified but gives the clear message that if you come after me I will take everything and everyone from you.) I requested.

"Yo puedo hacer eso. Incluso puedo comenzar con eso mientras estamos volando ". (I can do that. I can even start on that while we are flying.)

"Pero preferiría que manejases todos los pagos de este viaje cuando volvamos". (But I would prefer if you would handle all the payments for this trip.)

"¿Cuánto le estás pagando a todos?"(How much are you paying everyone?)

Hector pulled out his phone and tallied it up as I spoke. " Medio millón es la paga. Extra diez mil por los quince hombres que lo follaron. Bono de cinco millones de dólares para todos. Bonificación adicional de dos millones de dólares para Rascal para el video. Bono de quince millones de dólares por el Tank ". Hector pulled out his phone and tallied it up as I spoke. (Half a million is the pay. Extra ten thousand for the fifteen men that fucked him. Five million dollar bonus for everyone. Extra two million dollar bonus to Rascal for the video. Fifteen million dollar bonus for Tank.)

"Eso es ciento cuarenta y cuatro millones, ciento cincuenta mil." Hector showed me on his phone. (That's one hundred forty four million, one hundred fifty thousand.) Hector showed me on his phone.

"Cambia los diez mil a cien mil cada uno". (Change the ten thousand to one hundred thousand each.)

"Eso es ciento cuarenta y cinco millones quinientos mil."He told me. (That's one hundred forty five million five hundred thousand.) He told me.

"Ah, y cinco millones para Bones". (Oh and five million to Bones.)

"Ciento cincuenta millones, quinientos mil". (One hundred fifty million, five hundred thousand.)

"Eso es bueno. Me gusta ese número ", I told him. "Tengo las cuentas de todos si quieres hacerlo mientras estamos volando". (That's good. I like that number.) I told him. (I have everyone's accounts if you want to do it while we are flying.)

"Claro, me alegro de acabar de una vez". He said. (Sure, glad to get it over with.)

Hector figured out how to get cable on the screens and we watched the news and part of a movie while he transferred money to everyone and I texted them telling them how much they were getting and why.

I texted Rascal and everyone that took pictures that they were greatly appreciated but to be clear there is to be no photo or video record of these missions in the future and next time I catch them doing it they will be destroyed.

I emailed Bones a big thank you for all the work he had done for this trip and for emptying all of Sergio's accounts. I asked him to get as much information on all of Sergio's businesses and email it to each business man that got that business. I sent the list of contact names, numbers and addresses for each of Sergio's businesses and the corresponding businessman's name and email address. I let him know his bonus amount and that it would be in his account soon.

We arrived in Hilo, Hawaii about 04:30 and I offered to put Hector up in a hotel or let him fly on to Honolulu with the plane. He chose to fly on and we said our goodbyes. I walked to a nearby hotel with my one bag, the cooler night air very warm compared to the temperatures we had left back in New Jersey.

Tuesday May 25 05:00

I had been on a mission high since leaving Colombia: a mix of adrenaline, stress and increased mental alertness so I knew I would have trouble sleeping. Regardless I had been short on sleep last night and when I got a hotel room near the port I laid down and relaxed my mind trying to get myself to sleep. I set my alarm for 07:00, which wasn't necessary as I never slept. I got up, showered, ate breakfast and was at the port at 07:45.

I stood in the morning sun beating down heating up the asphalt I was standing on. The problem was that though the ship was docked no one was allowed on or off the boat yet. I texted Mark that I was back as I stood there waiting.

I called Skylar. "My beautiful woman. I have my family here in Hilo, Hawai'i and I'm just wondering what there is to do on the island for the day?" I watched puffy white clouds drift aimlessly across the sky and appreciated the little bit of shade they offered as they passed in front of the sun. I knew later in the day the clouds would have a chance to congregate and rain down on the tropical paradise we were now in.

"Let me look." After a minute I could hear the clicking of a keyboard on the line and she came back on.

"Indoors or outdoors?" She asked me.

"Something creative and unique that they can't do anywhere else. Shopping is always loved by my sisters but we have twelve kids so something they can do that would be interesting."

"Well they have several unique beaches. Ones with white sand, green sand and black sand."

"I don't think they want to see more beach and we don't have any beach toys with us on the cruise."

"Indoors we have Mehana Brewing Company, Imiloa Astronomy Center, Lyman's Museum and Mission Home, the Pan'ewa Rainforest Zoo, it's really outdoors but listed with the indoor stuff, farmer's markets, and other local shopping."

"None of that sounds very interesting.

"Outdoors there are waterfalls – lots of waterfalls, a scenic drive up the coast, botanical gardens, biking, ATV tours, hot ponds, snorkeling, and helicopter rides. There are some overnight trips to see the waterfalls and stay in Volcano Village. Or you can pay to see them by helicopter."

"Don't book anything my dearest wonderful woman. I'll send a text to Marc to share with the family at breakfast and to call you to set things up?"

"I'll keep it pulled up on my computer and ready. I'll also keep looking to see if I can find anything else."

"Thank you most precious woman. I have to tell you, talking to you has ruined my woman."

"Ruined your woman how?"

"She heard me talking to you Monday to set up the flights off the island and make arrangements for activities in Los Angeles and now she expects me to talk to her the same doting way."

"That must be killing you." She teased.

"You know how long it took me and how hard it was to learn to speak to you like I do. She wants me to immediately talk to her the same sweet way."

"I have noticed you being more abrupt with me."

"Sorry my sweet princess it's just that I can't talk to you the way I normally do if anyone is around. It will ruin my reputation as a bad ass."

"I can see how that could be a problem, but really it will just add a new dimension that you can be a hard, mean, big, badass and a sweet caring guy in the same package."

"That's not how my men will see it."

"Maybe they should. Maybe it would be good for them to see you being a mean, badass on the streets but nice and respecting to your women."

"I'll think about it my most wonderful travel arranger." I sighed.

"Sure thing Ranger."

"Good bye." And I hung up. A shipmate was making his way down the gangplank to open the gate to allow people on and off the boat. I had my ID ready and quickly boarded.

Nightshift was just changing with dayshift who were taking position outside each door. I nodded to them and after being asked three times, announced to the group that the trip was a great success. Everything I left to do had been accomplished. Sergio had been dealt with and would no longer be a threat. I warned them that there may still be a killer or two out there trying to kidnap the women and to stay on their guard. Marc met me in the hallway.

"How'd it go?" He asked me.

"It was very successful. Now we just have to wait for the fallout."

"Are they going to know it was you?"

"There is nothing to point to me unless he told a lot of people I would be coming after him. In which case I show them the itinerary for the ship and prove that I have been on a week long cruise. Do you have pictures for me?"

"They will be in your email. Aren't you worried they will talk to your family?"

"Leave that to me. I have a backup plan for where I've been but it is easier if everyone just believes I've been here. I will let my family know in no uncertain terms that I have been here with them the whole weekend."

"So what are you doing today?"

"I'm having an adrenaline crash after coming back from the mission so if everything is going well I'm going to sleep for a few hours and meet up with you at lunch. I called Skylar for some things to do on the Big Island today and she sent me a list of options. I'm forwarding the list to you. Rental cars are at the airport. You take a shuttle there and then rent the cars. But I didn't make reservations for anything. Talk to my family, see what they want to do."

"Well as far as I know the deal for the day is shopping. There is a farmer's market near here as well as shops that are close for people coming off the cruise lines."

"Sorry to be missing that." I said sarcastically.

"Another quiet day. The men aren't interested but aren't complaining."

"I'll see you in a few hours." I said and entered our cabin.

Once inside I checked on the cell phone and internet equipment that I had set up before leaving. It was all still running perfectly. I found Stephanie still asleep so I quietly put down my luggage, having left both Sergio go bags behind on the plane. I stripped naked, climbed under the covers and pulled her into my arms but as soon as her sweats and tank top covered body was in my arms I reacted physically to her.

I nuzzle my nose into her neck and hair, double pleased with myself that I insisted on her bringing all her normal soaps so she still smells the same. But I am picking up the overtones of coconut on her skin as well; tropical citrus strawberry bash I thought to myself. She realized someone was holding her and tried to pull away from me but my arm tightened instinctively around her.

"Ranger!?" It is a half asleep exclamation, a question and a half 'let me the fuck go!' as she struggles to turn over in my arm.

I release her and lift myself up over her to look down on her sleepy form. She smiled up at me and I smiled down on her.

"You're back." She said a little breathlessly.

"I missed you." I tell her.

"Was the trip a success?"

"The trip was a rousing success. It turned out better than expected." I explained as I leaned down to kiss her. She turns her head away from me. Someday I will explain and get it through her head that morning breath doesn't bother me, but today I just say, "run go brush your teeth." And she rolls out of bed and heads for the bathroom.

She isn't a morning person but I hope she is awake enough and has missed me enough to be frisky this morning because Dios I have missed her.

She comes back sunny and bouncing; obviously with me gone she has been getting enough sleep.

"Babe." I mean come here, I want you, I missed you, I need you.

She crawls over the covers to straddle me. And I am wanting her to move off so I can rip the covers away. She now leans over me and tenderly kisses me and I move my firm hand to the back of her crazy morning hair and deepen the passionate, I missed you, kiss. She is moving her sensual hips practically riding me over the layers of covers and I quickly find myself so rigidly hard I can't take it anymore. I get one arm under her curvaceous butt and I lift her up, breaking our desperate kiss and work the covers out from between us then I set her back down.

I smile at her, this is so much better. Now she starts erotically kissing me again and I tangle one hand into her wild curls and kiss her back passionately. I want her on top, I want to be inside her voluptuous sweetness but she has on too many clothes. I take her tank top off and pull her tender little breasts fervently into my mouth, I tease and tantalize until they are hard little peaks while she moans and then I start working down her shapely belly. With one hand I grab her gray sweats and pull them down over her butt and as far down as I can with her sitting on top of me.

"Off" I demanded pulling on them and she giggles and rolls off me. She shimmies out of them and crawls back over naked to straddle me once again.

I grab both sides of her curvy hips and pull her up above me so I am looking up at her promised land, then I pull her wholesomeness down to my hungry mouth and she tenses and squeals as I feast on her throbbing cleft and wet succulence. After a few moments she relaxes against my mouth, a few minutes more and she is passionately riding me moaning and groaning, trying to press herself down harder on top of my talented tongue. I pull her down an inch and tease her clit till she is squirming on top of me and when I bite, she shatters, crying out "Carlos" with her release.

I pull her sleek interior down on top of me and slide my hard throbbing cock deep inside her. She is still catching her breath and I am rocking up into her. She feels so hot, wet and skintight on top of me I want her desperately. I feel her toned thighs and hot core tightening around me making me hold back a gasp. Finally she starts to move too and it feels so amazingly perfect. It's been only three days away but after having her day and night for a week, my dick thinks it's been starving in a desert for a year.

I grab hold of her curved hips and pull her down hard on top of my steely need and I know I'm not going to last like this. God she feels so smooth, tight and dripping wet. The adrenalin that I have been living on these past days is still high and I just want to slam into her over and over to burn it all off within her blistering core. She is scorching hot, dick-hugging tight and slick like the perfect wet dream. She is building up, moving faster now, clutching at my chest as she groans, slides up my hard length and moans as I pull her back down shoving up into her frantic dimension of wantonness.

Up and down, up and down, it feels so incredible I could do this all day. I don't know how, I don't know why but this woman completes me in such an amazing way. I was poised between deep emotions and animalistic wildness. Somehow when I am inside her I feel whole and healed and like I have never been broken. I am flying up to the sky with her on top and I feel the fireworks getting ready to explode.

I slam her back down on top of me again and again and I am almost gritting my teeth holding back. Finally I feel her dewy heat tighten around me, sheathing me, squeezing me like a fist and she cries out arching her back, her hands clawing my pecs. I groan "Babe" as I let go and I fill her up, going over and over because I feel like I haven't cum in a month. She collapses down on top of me and I wrap my arms around her holding her close.

"Missed you." I tell her. "Love you." Need you all over again even though I just had you. I wanted to stay with her in bed all day and make love till neither of us could walk. She is catching her breath and my heart is racing like I have run ten miles.

She starts to pull away and my arms tighten around her. Pulling her back down onto me. I kiss her and kiss her, our tongues dancing, languidly stroking and lips tenderly tangling and I go half hard inside her all over again. I roll us so she is on her back and I start slowly thrusting my hips into her again, fully achingly hard almost instantly. I am shocked as I realize in that second that I am taking her bare back but I don't stop, I figure one more time isn't going to do any more damage than I've already done. I kiss her deeply starting to drive her wild with need again. My rhythmic hips move, beginning slow long deep thrusts with my aching manhood plumbing her depths with passion and I think what if I get her pregnant. In my mind's eye, I see a Stephanie round with my child and my heart leaps with joy.

I could see her expanding with my child. My child growing inside her and I start pumping into her in earnest and her arms go around my neck. I think, I have so much money now. I could always pay for protection for her and my child forever. I could see a blue eyed, curly haired, little girl calling me Papa. Or a little, tough as nails, boy giving Stephanie a hard time; taking after her, only wanting dessert and refusing to eat his vegetables.

A small smile tugs at my lips and I start thrusting my excruciatingly rock hard cock into her titillating and tantalizing heat, driving her higher till she is flushed and breathless. I know that even though I just came, I'm riding an adrenalin high and am not going to last long again. She slipped her hands down my back grabbing my buttocks and pulling me faster into her accommodating warmth. I began invading her at a slightly faster pace and her breathing started to change. I can always count on her body and her breathing to tell me what is going on with her. Not to mention her little breathy moans. She reaches up to wrap her arms around my shoulders and her legs around my waist and feverishly clung to me, desperate for more.

I am building her up delving into her intoxicating heat and as I start to thrust faster her legs tighten around me limiting my movement. I want to pin her down and fuck her into next week. I am so hard again I plunge into her heady need and stroke her with barely contained violence. Her breathing is getting faster and faster and then there it is the low guttural groan as I feel her start to spasm around me. I let loose, thrusting and thrusting, and cumming and cumming, over and over. I collapse down on top of her, only just keeping from crushing her. My breathing is ragged and my heart is racing. I realize I am a man in love holding his prized possession and my arms tighten instinctively around her and she gasps "Carlos."

I lift my weight up off her and smile down at her sex flushed face. I lean down to kiss her and kiss her losing myself in the kiss, letting out all of my frustration, all of my passion, all of my missing her, all of the anger, all of the stress, all of the need I feel for her.

Several minutes later I break away panting for air and she is the same.

"I take it you missed me." She says smiling up at me.

"Babe" I say. Telling her in no uncertain terms that missing her is a drop in the bucket for the amount of missing her I feel.

"I missed you too. But your family has been so nice to me. Your mother has practically adopted me and has been taking care of me. Making sure I am entertained and have someone to hang with and stuff to do and making sure I don't miss any meals. Like I'd get so depressed missing you that I wouldn't eat." She scoffed and tapped my side. "Okay, I need you to get up, I have to use the bathroom." She insisted.

I rolled away from her and stared at the ceiling a little half smile on my face waiting for her to realize. I can hear her peeing on the other side of the door and she would be so embarrassed if she knew but it is just normal to me. I look forward to knowing her well enough she doesn't feel the need to close the door between us.

"Carlos! We didn't!... You did!... Oh my god!" The door cracked open.

"Babe, it'll be okay."

"You knew? You didn't use a condom and you knew?" She questioned.

"Just got carried away, I didn't realize it till it happened. Then I did it again. I figured twice wasn't going to hurt any more than once." I explained myself.

"But what if I get pregnant?"

"Babe no matter what happens in your life I'm going to be right there beside you."

"But I don't want children." She insisted.

"I'm not looking to have children either. But if it happens, if we just made one, I'm going to love it and you, I will love you through nine months of pregnancy and we can hire a nanny and you can still work and no matter what it's all going to be okay." I rushed to reassure her.

"Okay," she finally answered not sounding too sure of the circumstances.

"Come on Babe, come back to bed." I encouraged.

"I've got to get up. I'm supposed to go with," her voice got real quiet, "Oshanna and your family to shore about 9:30. We're supposed to meet up for breakfast about 8:30." She told me.

"I don't know what your plans are but Babe do you mind if I stay in bed for a couple of hours? I have been sleeping on the plane but haven't slept more than a few hours at a time over the past couple of days."

"Nope," she leaned over and kissed me. "I'm going to take a shower. Do you want to come for breakfast?"

"No. I just need a few hours of sleep then I will be up for lunch. In fact don't tell anyone in my family I'm back."

"Okay." She replied as she went back into the bathroom. Several minutes later, I must have been dozing already, she came out wrapped in a towel. I watched her through slitted eyes, aware that this was the first time she was dressing in front of me, instead of carrying her clothes into the bathroom to change. It may only be because the bathroom is tiny and you can barely move in there but I liked her feeling comfortable and confident enough with our relationship to dress in front of me, more importantly to be naked in front of me. I lay there dozing till she left and finally I crashed.

My ringing phone brought me out of a deep sleep and I wondered briefly why it wasn't on vibrate.

"Talk" I ordered when I saw it was Marc and it was only 9:50.

"We're under heavy gunfire. Send armed men from the ship." He demanded.

Over the phone I could hear screaming and crying over the sound of machine gun fire and I panicked.
