Cruz made it to the motel Lightning had reserved. It was nice, but just your basic motel really. The front desk handed her a key. Third floor. So Cruz headed to the elevator. Taking out her phone and pulling up Lightning's name to text.

I'm at the motel. When will I see you?

She smiled once she saw it had sent. The elevator doors opened and she made her way to her room. Using the key card to open the door and closing it behind her. She pulled her suitcase to the bedroom and stared at the bed. White comforter. Yup. Basic. She walked over and set her suitcase at the end of the bed. That's when she noticed the note on the bed. Cruz picked it up and opened the folded letter.

Text me when you arrive. I'll give you three hours to bathe, change and prepare. I got you something to wear. It's on the bathroom hanging up. Your safe word is red.

Cruz could faintly smell him on the note. So she put it to her nose and sniffed it. God.. Even the scent of him was arousing. Like a musky, warm woody freshness. Fuck he smelt amazing. Cruz set the note down and walked into the bathroom of the bedroom. Inside were candles waiting to be lit in the tub.. Rose petals all around the garden tub and hanging on the shower, a red lace bralette and a thong and stockings. Wow. Cruz stared at it. His plans tonight must be amazing! She was so excited! How could any man be this amazing!….

Lightning walked into Cruz's room. Cruz heard the door and ran out! Jumping at him and hugging him! Wrapping her arms around him wearing a white, fluffy bath robe! Lightning dropped the two bags he had. A little surprised of her reaction. Cruz looked him in the eyes and said, "I am so excited! Oh! What's in the bags?" She grabbed one and looked in it. Raising a brow. "Food? This is groceries." She said as she looked at him with confusion. Lightning snickered explaining, "Yeah, I thought I'd make us something afterwards." So Cruz reached for the other bag but he kicked it back and grabbed her shoulders, spinning around and slamming her back against eh door. Cruz smiling. Lightning held her there and said, "I like the attitude, but calm down." Trying not to chuckle at her.

She was so eager and ready for this. It was kind of a weird reaction. Cruz sighed. Lightning then stepped back. Looking her up and down, "Are you wearing what I bought you?" He asked. Cruz nodded, "Yes, Sir. I bathed-and the candles smelled amazing. The roses were a nice touch." Lightning smiled a little. Nice. Why was he trying so hard for her? Lightning loved the way she was eager though. "Alright, let me get set up." He said. Then grabbed the bag and a chair from the kitchen and dragged it into the living room over the rug. Placing the bag next to the chair. Cruz watched with anticipation. So excited. Lightning then motioned for her to come. She did. Walking up and she dropped the robe. Dam she was hot!

He just knew the red would bring out the complexion of her skin, the brown in her hair and highlights and those big and spelling brown eyes. Cruz grabbed his belt and began to kneel down. But Lightning grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back up to her feet. Looking directly into her eyes, "Today…" His tone deep and sexy. "I get the first taste today." Then he knelt down onto his knees. Grabbing Cruz's right leg and sliding it over his shoulder before kissing her area over the thong. Cruz held onto his shoulders. Balancing barely. He moved the thong over with a single finger. His tongue licked into her folds and Cruz legs out a gasp. Lightning growling, "So fucking good…." Cruz moaned a bit. He lapped her area. His tongue slowly pressing against her entrance and up to her clit.

"Mr. McQueen…" She heaved. Lightning closed his eyes and began to suck at her area. Suckling and drinking her fluids. Enjoying her flavor. Growling against her, "Mmmm… That's my girl…" Oh god the way he spoke, his tone, his vibrations spreading though her lower body! His tongue pushing deeper within, Cruz grabbed his golden hair. Playing with it and slightly holding onto it for balance. Her pelvis wriggling against his face. Her body beginning to explode! Cruz yelped, "You're so good at this!" Lightning snickered then plunged into her with his tongue. Licking and sucking her juices. Her orgasm getting closer and closer! "Yes!… Fuck me… Just like that! Right there!" She shouted as she moaned!

Lightning grabbed her left thigh. Digging in and enjoying her fluids flowing. He groaned into her as he continued just the way he was learning she liked! Her organs suddenly flushing over her! Cumming so hard she felt a bit dizzy, grabbing his hair more. "Mr. McQueen!" She shouted as her body spasms over his tongue! Cumming over him and he sucks the fluids from her! As she panted, coming down from her high, Lightning put her leg down and stood up. Wiping his lips and looking into her eyes, "Good girl.. Now sit." He said. Cruz glanced at the chair next to them and sat down. Nervous but so ready for this! Lightning reached into the bag and pulled out this purple and black rope. "What's that?" Cruz asked.

Lightning walked behind her and took her arms back behind the chair. Tying them behind. "Remember your safe word?" He asked. Cruz nodded. He finished tying the knot and Cruz moved skeins. Giving it a try. Nope. She was stuck now. Lightning then reached in the bag and pulled out a black silk ribbon thing. "And that?" Cruz asked. Lightning stepped behind her and leaned into her ear, "Stop talking." Then stood up and placed the ribbon over her eyes. Blinding her. Tying it behind her head. Cruz could feel the goosebumps. Fuck. "I've read about these things in books and is this the kind of thing where you are going to make me suck your-ah!" She yelped as he grabbed her jaw. She could feel his grip tight around her lower jaw. She fell silent.

Feeling his breathe against her ear. "I figured you'd talk too much. So I was thinking.. Nust in case… Instead of Red, your safe word will be this." Then he handed or something. In her hands. Was it a button? Keychain? "Press it if I need to stop. Give it a try." She felt with her thumb. Pressing the button and it made a quiet buzz for a moment. "Good." Lightning snarled. Then he let go of her jaw. Cruz remained silent. Unsure why he did that instead. Then "Open your mouth." So she did. Feeling a ring being placed into her mouth, keeping it open a bit, then a strap around her head. "Good girl." He praised. Cruz's breathing quickened. She was nervous, but wanted this soooo badly! Then she felt him lift her breasts out of the bra, pulling them over it.

Then she felt his hand along with cold metal at her left nipple. Snap. "Oh!" She howled. A brief pause then the right, snap! "Oh!" Again. But she didn't press the button. She could hear a zipper. Was that his pants? Lightning grabbed her head and pushed him member inside the ring, into her mouth. Definitely. Holding her by the hair, he began rocking his hips. "Mmmm… Good girl." He praised in a deep tone of voice. Cruz could feel her area becoming so wet. Liquids pooling on the chair to which she was sitting. "Like my member in your mouth?.." He asked as he fucked her face. Cruz in turn began rolling her tongue. Moaning from his fullness. "That's it.. Don't stop, baby…" Cruz pulled at the restraints.

Moaning over his member as he rocked his hips. "You won't be able to swallow unless I keep my member in your mouth. I'm going to cum and then take pleasure in feeling you swallow as I stay still and help you swallow every bit…" oh fuck she felt good. Her mouth just dripping saliva. He'd fuck Sally like this if he could. Fuck her mouth with that ring and make sure to go as deep as he could! Lightning pushed his member as far back as his pelvis touched her nose! Cruz gagging a bit. "You like choking on my member?" He asked. Oh he would choke Sally until she couldn't breathe with his member! Making sure her eyes teared up as she looked up at him. "I'm almost there, darling… Fuck… I can not wait to explode in you.." he said.

And the way he said it had Cruz press her thighs together. He noticed that. She was enjoying this! "Oh yeah… You like the idea of that?.. My cum filling you?" Cruz moaned over his member. Lightning rocking faster. Deep as he could. Oh he'd make Sally drink every fucking bit of his cum! Lap it up like the dam useless dog she was from the floor! "Oooh… Cruz, I'm almost there!" He shouted in pleasure. Gripping her hair firmly, shoving his member into her throat and grunting as he came! Cruz using the underside of his member to hold her tongue and swallow. Just as he wanted. "Oh fuck… That's it… You're so good, baby…" He praised. She swallowed again. Once more before he pulled his member out slowly.

A little cum and so much drool dripping from it snd Cruz's mouth. "Fuck.. You did so well…" He praised. Letting her hair. Then Cruz felt the ring gag being removed. Once off, she closed her mouth and swallowed again. Licking her lips. Trying to keep the drool off her lips. Then Lightning gently wiped her drool with his thumb. Leaning over and kissing her so gently. Their lips smacked and he growled, "Good girl…" Cruz smiled. She was really enjoying this which made him want more of this. Then he pushed his lips to hers again. They began making out. Their tongues violently thrashing against one another. Cruz moaning into his mouth. Lightning placed one hand on her thigh. Rubbing up and done. Nearly touching her area, but not. Cruz moaned more. She was horny as hell for him.

For this. She loved pleasing him! Lightning continued making out. His other hand gliding up to her breasts and he grabbed the clamp, yanking it off, "Ah!" Cruz yelped! Lifting her head up and panting. Then he kissed her neck. Groaning as he sucked her skin. To the other breast. Grabbing the clamp and "Fuck!" Cruz yelped! The sting resonated throughout her breasts. Breathing heavily as she lowered her head. "You like that?" Lightning asked. Cruz nodded with, "Yes, Mr. McQueen…" then he moved his lips to her right nipple. Rolling his tongue around in cuticles before eloping into his mouth. Sucking her tit. Cruz snapped her head back again! Moaning and biting her lips. Then Lightning moved to other one. Circling and sucking once more.

The sting still there but now being taken by his soft, warm mouth and tongue. As if he were licking her wounds. Lightning then stood up. The cold air hitting her nipples, making them ache and harden. Cruz whimpered a bit and Lightning chuckled, "I'm not done." He assured. She heard the bag. What could he have now? But she didn't ask this time. Suddenly she felt something cold against her area. Cold yet soft. Like silicone? "Ah!" Cruz jumped as the buzzing began against her clit! "Mr. McQueen!" She shouted as he pushed the vibrator against her clit. She moaned again. Lightning holding it there and began licking her nipples again. Cussing and licking. One then the other as the vibrator sent shivers down and up her body! "Mr…. M-McQueen…" Cruz moaned.

He loved the way she said that! Oh if he could torture Sally this way. Make her beg him to let her cum! He'd never let her. Edging her until she was shaking violently and screaming for mercy! Cruz was close. So close! Her moans announcing this so he stopped the toy and put it down! Cruz panted. Fuck she needed that release! Lightning kissed her right collar bone. "You smell so good…" He complimented. She could hear him taking in her scent. Lightning then brushed her inner thigh with his warm hand. Cruz was soaking wet! Lightning rubbed her area through the thong, kissing her neck then the side of her face before nibbling her ear. "Mmmmm… Please let me cum.." Cruz begged. Lightning snickered in her ear, "Soon, baby.." He assured quietly.

Then licking her ear. Cruz shivered. Moaning. She wanted him to fuck her right now. God this man was amazing. Lightning then stood up and walked behind her. Nothing. It was silent for a moment. The lack of his touch was killing Cruz. She pressed her thighs together. Maybe even whimpered a bit. Then he grabbed her hair. Playing with it in his hands. Cruz moaned. The way his fingers brushed against her scalp. "Mr. McQueen…" She breathed. Lightning leaned over and kissed the top of her head. If this were Sally, he'd grab her hair, yanking her neck back and shove his fingers into her mouth! So that's what he did. Lightning snapped Cruz's neck back, forcing her to look up! She gasped a bit, mouth open.

Lightning brushed her soft lips with his fingers then pushed two into her mouth. Cruz instantly rolled her tongue around them. Closing her lips and sucking his fingers. "Fuck.." Lightning growled with pleasure in his tone. "You like to suck anything I out in your mouth, don't you?" He asked. Cruz didn't answer. Just played with his fingers in her mouth. Sucking them, moaning. "What a good little toy.." He praised. It would be a lie to say Cruz didn't hurt hearing she was his toy. But then again, she was HIS toy. She would gladly please him any way he desired. Just like in her smutty books. Cruz moaned. Lightning's member pulsing to be fucked! He was going ti be relentless on her. Sally would never be able to take it. She would be screaming red before he even made it past a minute.

Lightning pulled his fingers from her lips. Cruz panting. Then he grabbed her jaw. Keeping her looking up. And leaned over. His lips just brushing hers as he melodiously spoke, "I'm gonna untie you and take off the blind fold." Then he took the button from her hands with his other. Tossing it to the couch. "You are to get on your knees for me immediately." Cruz whimpered a bit. "Yes, Sir." She agreed. But whimpering as she yearned for his lips to touch hers. He let go of her. Removing the blind fold then the restraints of the chair. Cruz rolled her shoulders then got up. Taking a few steps forward before getting on her knees. Lightning walked up behind her and said, "All fours." Cruz lowered. Standing on all fours. Lightning kneel behind her. Grabbing her hips then removing the thong to her knees. His member barely touching her area. Cruz then lowered her upper body.

Face to the floor and raising her ass. Lightning couldn't help but snicker, "You really want it, don't you?" "Yes, Mr. McQueen…" Cruz moaned. Lightning shoved his member inside! Cruz yelped! He began rocking his hips. Rather quickly. It hurt! It was bruising! Her body incredibly sore after the last two rounds. He was ruthlessly fucking her. SLAP! "Ah!" Cruz shouted! Lightning reared back, SLAP to her ass again! Leaving a bright red hand print over her! Cruz moaned. Grabbing the rug with her nails as he shook her entire body as he fucked her! "You like that!?" He asked loudly! Cruz moaned. Eyes rolling to the back of her head! "Y-yes… Mr…. M-Mmmmmm… Mr… McQueen…" SLAP! "Yes!"

SLAP! "Harder, please!" SLAP! "Fuck!" Cruz yelped and her body shivered. Lightning suddenly felt her tighten!… Cruz screamed as she came over his member. Lightning slowed down slightly due to the tightness of her spasms. He moaned a bit. Slamming into her! His pelvis hitting her ass! SLAP! Spanking her again! It stung so much but she loved it! And she would moan such a beautiful sound. Lightning collapsed over her. His hands slamming onto each side of the floor next to her head. Cruz moaned as he thrusted faster again. Faster.. A bit less roughly. Oh Sally, "Oh, Cruz…" he moaned her name. Fuck that was beautiful. Cruz whimpering with his thrust as he picked up speed slightly more before leaning down and kissing the back of shoulder blades.

"Mmmmm…" He growled. Fuck yes… Sally could never handle this.. Lightning suddenly pulled out. Cumming all over the floor beneath them on the rug. Kissing her shoulder blade of her right side. Moaning of exhaustion at this point. "Good girl… Very… Good girl…" He panted. Cruz's legs were shaking. That was the best ever! "Just like the stories?…" he asked. Barely able to breathe. Cruz's legs couldn't hold her. She collapsed beneath him. Laying in the floor, she rolled over. Staring up into his beautifully blue eyes.

Smiling. Blushing as she lifted a hand to the side of his face. "Better than the stories.." She complimented. Both heavily exhausted. Lightning smiled a little. Fuck. This woman was going to be the death of him. She was absolutely everything he could want sexually! She was young, willing, eager to please, sexy, just stunning….

Lightning woke up in bed. Cal and Tex and the team should be arriving today. Lightning sat up and rubbed his eyes. Did he really tell Sally and Ben that he wanted a divorce? Did he? Or did he just use that as an excuse to justify sleeping with Cruz. Fuck that, he didn't need justification. Sally cheated first. She wound up pregnant and she chose the scum bag over him. Lightning sighed. His heart said otherwise though. He loved her. He missed her. Sure, Cruz was absolutely amazing.

But it was just sex. It had no feeling like it had with Sally. Of course, the last time he was with Sally it didn't feel much like that either. Lightning was confused and hurting a lot. Swinging his feet off the bed, he grabbed his phone. Looking at the screen, his eyes widened. Thirteen missed calls, four texts, two voicemails and all from Sally. "Fuck.." He growled. Opening messages first,

I know you are mad and hurting and I am so sorry. Flo and I were talking and I realize how unfair I have been! I am so sorry. I only said those things and pushed you away because I was protecting you. I'm sorry. I'm willing to talk if you want to. Please.

I'm sorry I messed up! I and sorry I pushed you away. Please call me.

Can you please answer! I am sorry! Don't just go get drunk and trash yourself! I want to talk. If divorce is what you want, fine. Just let me know you're okay!!

Lightning, I love you. I'm sorry for what I did. Please.. call me.

Lightning sighed. He opened voicemails. But he couldn't bring himself to listen to them. Not yet. He was to hurt. How dare she act like she cares suddenly. What was her problem!? Then he noticed a text from Cal.

Hotel is on north street avenue. Room 186 is yours. Talk tomorrow at the track.

Lightning decided to pack up and head to the motel. If he was lucky they'd have a bar….

Lightning sat at the bar. Drinking. Little early for this. But the restaurant next to the motel obliged. He sipped the drink. Horrible for the morning. But it would help better than coffee right now. Suddenly, Tex himself appeared and took a seat across from Lightning at the table. Lightning's eyes widened. Not sure why Tex was here. Tex let out a sigh then, "I've noticed you been drinking a lot lately." Lightning glanced at his drink before shrugging, "Yeah, well… I just"-"Comin from a man who can drink whiskey like water.. I can tell when somethin is wrong. And I'm concerned now. You're not only an employee of mine, but a friend. I've watched you grow up on the track and I've watched you behind the scenes a bit. Talk to me, son."

Lightning sighed. Staring at his alcohol before answering, "I just… I… I have this friend who's… Wife… Um…" "Lightnin', you don't need to hide the truth from me. I already know it's about you and Sally. Cal told me how you two acted at the racing center. Is she alright?" He asked. Lightning began to nod, but stopped and shook his head, "I don't know, Tex… It's just… The thing is that she cheated wit"-"Hold that thought. Let's go back to your room. Little more private."…..

Once inside Lightning's room. Tex took a sea in the living room. Lightning standing for a moment. Tex leaned back saying, "You have the floor." Lightning frowned. Maybe Tex could help. Or at least be the ear he needed.. So Lightning explained, "Sally slept with someone else.. She's pregnant with his baby.. And we kept fighting and I tried to make it work. I wanted to make it work, but she kept pushing me away. Which is confusing because she keeps going back fourth. First she pushes away then she wants me. I can't keep doing this, so… I… I moved on and slept with someone else.. And now?… I feel so guilty.. I feel like shit." He admitted as he sat on the couch across from Tex. It was probably some the alcohol making him talk so easily.

The older man sighed. It hurt hearing that Lightning was going through this. "Every-time I look at Sally, I feel broken and such anger.. I can't feel anything else.. When I'm not home with her, I feel guilty and so ashamed… If she actually wants me and wants this to work and is willing to make this work… I fucked up.. I really messed up…" Lightning admitted. Tex nodded, just listening. Lightning whined a bit adding, "I told her I want a divorce…" "Do you want a divorce?" "No. No, of course not!… But… I can't keep going back and fourth.. To make matters worse, I slept with someone… I keep making things worse…" "Go home Lightning." Tex ordered as he stood up.

Lightning looked up at the man with confusion. "I'll get you the flight out. You need to talk to Sally in person and get this worked out. You can't keep drinking like this. I can't have you all fuzzy and coaching Cruz. It won't be long at this rate and officials will step in, noticing and I'll have to drug test you, the crew, alcohol percentage.. I'm sorry… But I also need you to figure this out for you. You're hurting. I care, kid.. You need to have a long and open talk with Sally. Try to keep the anger at bay. Talk to her. And you know you have people who care and can talk to. Cal has been worried about you. He noticed the change. He's the one that sent me out lookin for you." Lightning thought about that. Maybe Cal could give marital advice but then again, Cal has only ever been with Meg. But they had been together forever. Lightning nodded. "Thanks…" He muttered. Tex sighed. Patting Lightning on the back before heading out….

Lightning had finished packing his bags. Glancing at the time. About time to head home. Home.. Not much left of it between him and Sally. He sighed. Frowning.

Knock, knock, knock.

Lightning walked over and opened the door. "Cruz…" "Hey, Mr. McQueen! I was hoping we could head out to the track. I've never seen the Tennessee track." But then she noticed the bags. Packed and she stared up at him. "You're leaving?" She asked. Instantly her happy go smile was gone. Lightning rubbed the back of his neck answering, "I have to go home…" "What? To Mrs. McQueen? But I thought you two were done? You said you wanted a divorce." Cruz reminded. Lightning nodded, "Yeah… I don't know what I want.. Don't be mad.. or upset… I just"-"No, of course not… Um… What about me? I need a crew chief." "Tex and Cal will take care of it.. I'm sorry." "Is this because of me?" "No, not at all." Lightning assured.

"I just…. Sally and I have to talk." "And then you're coming back, right?" "Yeah, of course…" "Will we get to… Again?" The sex. Lightning frowned admitting, "I don't know… Cruz, it was just sex.. You aren't… We aren't anything more… I'm sorry.." Cruz stared at him. Holding back the tears she could feel were coming. She kind of snapped, "Just remember that through everything I am here. I'll still be here.. I'm not just saying that because I like you either… But I care.. genuinely, I care and I got to see the pain you endured though training and now I understand that.. She did that to you.. The drinking… Nights crying… The pain.. You telling me how bad it hurt…" But she did this to herself.

Letting her heart fall for someone who was only using her body. Lightning rubbed his head. Getting a headache. He tried explaining, "Marriage is.. It's not always easy, Cruz… There are times you want to kill each other and hurt each other and times you feel like giving up.. I need to talk to Sally, my wife. We have years together that a few nights with you could never replace.. I.. I said I wanted a divorce, but.. I love her.. And if… If there is the slightest chance I can have what we had before the accident back.. I'm taking that chance, Cruz.." Cruz hurt hearing this, but continued, "Just… Don't let her hurt you again… You're a good person, Mr. McQueen.. An amazing man… And… I'll be here waiting to talk about it… I can keep a secret, you know?.." She smiled then left to her room. Closing the door. Lightning felt so bad, but.. His heart was still Sally's… he'd love to stay with Cruz, but he and Sally needed to talk. They needed to settle this….

Lightning walked into his home. Didn't feel much like home. It was quiet. To quiet. Lightning dropped his bags and walked into the living room, kitchen. Looking for… Right, Sally was stuck in the hospital. He sighed and sat on the couch. Depressed immediately. There is no way they could talk without it becoming a fight. Not after the text he sent. The words they had in the fight. Lightning lay down on the couch. Exhausted. Closing his eyes. Resting… Falling asleep for most of the day there…..

Lightning woke up. Sitting up and rubbing his eyes. Grabbing his phone. Another text from Sally.

are you coming back home?..

He sighed. Well, he was home. Lightning got up, grabbed the keys and headed to the cafe. Needing some coffee to wake him up that was decent before heading to the hospital to see Sally.

He walked in and took a seat at the bar. Lying his head on the counter. Flo walked over greeting, "When did you get into town?" Lightning groaned a bit, "A few hours ago.." SLAP! "Ow!" Lightning yelped as he looked up seeing Flo just swatted him with a rolled up newspaper. "What was that for!?" He shouted. Flo's brows lowered as she announced, "You should have called Sally. She was discharged yesterday." "What? Why? She should have been in there until.." He stopped. Not wanting to attract attention. Flo glared at him then reared the newspaper back and SLAP! "Stop that!" Lightning griped! Rubbing this head.

Flo rolled her eyes replying, "She's in the back here." "What?" Lightning didn't understand. Did something happen? To the baby? Was she just better? Lightning hopped off the stool and made his way around the counter. Eyeing Flo, careful and watching to see if she'd slap him again then made his way to the back kitchen of the cafe. And there she was. Standing and putting away some plates. "Sal.." He called. Sally glanced over then glared at him. That was a cold glare on her face. Lightning frowned and admitted, "I think… I said some things that I didn't mean…" Sally just stared at him as he continued, "I'm glad you're out of the hospital… Unless it's bad.. Is it ba"-"No! I got better." Sally snapped.

Lightning stared at her. She did look better. Healthier. A little weight on her. Especially around the belly area. He really noticed that. "Sally… Can we go home? Talk?.." he asked. Sally only scoffed, "What is there to talk about. You want a divorce." The way she said it stung. Lightning swallowed nervously. Did he thought? "I… I may have sent that without thinking it over.. I was mad.. And I should have waited until we spoke, but… You pushed me away. You made that decision before I even mentioned it." He explained. Sally set down the remaining plates and scolded, "You said horrible and nasty things to me. You don't get to be sorry and try to be there for me after hurting me like that!" "You gave me descriptive detail of you and Ben! I was angry!" "And you treated me like crap in front of our friends!" "That.. Was wrong, I'm sorry.. I just… I"-"Look at me and want me to hurt! You want me to feel pain and you feel nothing but hatred towards me! Yeah, I got that." Sally snarled.

Lightning sighed. He did say some hurtful things, but this wasn't fair. She cheated… First at this point.. Dammit why did he do that with Cruz. Lightning rubbed his eyes. This was going to go no where. Just like all their other conversations. It would be much easier to just give up. Lightning didn't know what to say to fix this. Words weren't working! "I love you, Sally! Why do you think I keep coming back! I want to make this work!…" That's when Sally noticed the stared they were getting from workers of the cafe. Even Mia and Tia. Sally blushed a bit then interrupted her husband, "Fine. Let's go home and talk about this. Please…" Lightning looked back. Noticing the eyes and ears on them. "Yeah… Okay…" He mumbled, but thinking great, now she could yell at him in their home again and wind up telling him to leave….

Sally closed the door behind them. Lightning's back towards her. He didn't want to face her. He didn't want the screaming to begin again and then the crap and name calling and-"I'm sorry.." Sally began. Lightning didn't move. Didn't look at her. Just listened as she continued, "I should never have pushed you away like I did.. I thought… I thought you leaving was the best option.. I didn't want you to be in so much pain, and every time we were around each other you were hurting. So badly.. I could not watch it anymore. Watch you destroy yourself anymore.." Lightning sighed. Trying to think before he spoke this time. "Yeah… But I wanted to try and make it work.." He muttered.

Sally frowned replying, "You said you were going to leave when the baby came… That you couldn't do it." "I know I said that.. I didn't exactly mean it.. I just… it's how I feel… But I really want to try, Sally.. I… I still love you…" "Yeah, I love you…" Sally murmured. Staring at his back side as he was still turned away. She sighed, "Lightning… How do we do this?" Lightning shrugged, "I don't know… I… I wish I knew… But I want to stay.. I want us.. But…" He sighed. Stopping and thinking. He couldn't get Ben out of his head. Cruz.. He couldn't see Sally the same with the baby.. Sally walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. Resting her palms over his lower chest and resting her forehead between his shoulder blades. Lightning hurt feeling her touch.

It had felt like ages sense he felt her touch. He reached up and placed his right hand over her left. Sighing, "Can we work this out another day… Because I want to be with you… I'm just… Tired… Can we just go to bed…" he asked. Sally pulled her arms back to herself answering, "Sure thing." "Great…." Lightning muttered then walked to the bedroom quietly. Sally sighed.

Her stomach and intestines hurt so much from seeing him so hurt again. He was depressed on her presence and had every right to be. It hurt. Hurt a lot. Like cramps. Then the warmness and dampness. Sally glanced down. Did she pee on herself? Her eyes widened as she looked down. Feeling faintly. She touched between her legs. Lifting her hand to her face. The dark red blood stains becoming alarming. "Lightning…" She barely whispered in fear. Her body shivering. Feeling faint. Her head spinning. "Lightning!" Sally screamed, falling!

"I got you!" Lightning yelped as he caught her in his arms. Sally looked up at him. Pale, sweating, shivering. Her eyes began filling with tears as he lifted her up into his arms. That's when he felt the dampness and heat from between her legs, and looked over to see the red blood. That's a lot of blood. That's a lot of blood! "Lightning…" Sally whimpered, burying her face in his chest. She knew she was losing her baby. She just knew. Lightning panicked a bit, but carried Sally to the car. Setting her down to open the car door. "I need a towel, there's… I'll get blood all over the seat." She whimpered.

Lightning shook his head, "No time, just get in." Holding her hand and helping her into the low Porsche that Tex had sent back. Lightning drove Sally to the clinic hospital and carried her inside where a nurse quickly took her by wheel chair to the back. Leaving Lightning alone in the waiting area again. He sighed. He knew it too. She was going to lose this baby. "Dammit…" He whispered. Then he looked at his arm. The oily like blood. It wasn't normal blood. "Fuck.." He whispered. A nurse walked over to him and handed him some towels. "Here… Clean yourself up." She smiled. Lightning took the towels, thanking her. But this was bad. Sally was going to snap…..
