Sally woke up in bed. Laying there and looking over at Lightning. She just… Didn't feel like she use to with him. Her heart hurt. She wanted the man she fell in love with back. She wanted him back more than anything, but could he ever come back. Sally scooted closer to him. Gazing at his sleeping face. He was peaceful. Alive. Peaceful and alive. She sighed and caressed the side of his face gently. Careful not to wake him at first. Brushing over his shoulder and down his arm. Years ago, she would have reached between them and his legs and stroke him awake in the best way possible, but now? Sally pulled her hand back to her own body. Frowning. Her confidence was lost, her heart hurt, everything had changed and was different now.

How could she get him to fall in love with her body again? Fall in love with her again? He was trying, now she had to find a way to show him that she was trying to. Usually that would be sex, right? But.. This time it had to be more than sex if that were the route she took. Sally turned her back to her husband. Laying in bed. But then she felt his body against her back side. His arm over her as he cuddled her close. His breath against her neck. "Good morning.." Lightning greeted in a quiet and deep husky tone. Sally's eyes opened wide. The feeling of his body against hers. "Good morning." Sally greeted. "You smell really good.." He complimented in a sleepy tone. Sally snickered, "Thanks, I think." Lightning breathed in her scent.

Lavender or lilacs and chamomile. Then his lips pressed the side of her neck, sending a shiver down Sally's spine. "Stickers…" Sally whispered. His hand went to her shoulder and he brushed his hand down her arm before placing on her hip. "Want to try?." He asked into her ear. His hand sliding down onto her thigh.. Then inner thigh.. Sally became nervous. The sex wasn't all that great lately and the more they tried and failed, the worse they'd become towards each other. "I… I don't know.. I don't want you to force yourself to want me…" She whimpered. Lightning sighed. His breath hitting the back of her neck. Then he pulled his arm away and sat up in bed. Sally felt relief and disappointment as his touch left her body. "I'm sorry…" Sally whimpered to him.

Lightning looked down at her replying, "No, it's alright. It's not that big of a deal. I was just asking." Sally felt horrible for it though. She wanted him and to feel his body, but they weren't connecting and she was afraid he'd lose interest in her more and more. She was going to have find a way to make him so taken by her that sexually he couldn't say no. Make him lust for her again. But how? Lightning got out of bed and announced, "I'm gonna head to Doc's garage for a while. Probably see if Ramone needs help with anything or Mater. Just.. Find something to do." "Yeah, alright.. Just don't forget your medications." "I won't…" Lightning growled. Hating the medicine though. He closed the door as he walked into the bathroom.

Sally made her mind up. She was going to spend the entire day planning for tonight. For tonight, Lightning would come home to find the perfect way for them to reconnect sexually. She just had to prove to him she was still his beautiful and sexy wife….

Lightning put the box of junk on the workbench inside of Doc's garage. Sighing. He felt bad about everything. Their marriage had fallen apart. He was so angry with himself for getting involved with Cruz. He hated that. It only made things worse! How was he going to get Sally to come back to him. To love him again? She was so hurt and afraid of him. He hit her. Fuck. Why did he do that?… He knew why.. She was calling him out. He was trapped. He was angry that he was caught and suddenly snapped in fear. Lightning picked up another box with the old camera and some tapes in it. Setting on the workbench. He wished Doc were here. He would have set Lightning straight.

Actually… Lightning frowned. Doc would have told him to retire before this happened. Lightning cleaned up the garage. Finishing up there then headed to Ramones. "Hey!" He greeted with an energetic smile. Ramone raised a brow then smiled, "McQueen! Didn't realize you were back so soon." Ramone said as he hugged his friend. Lightning snickered and explained, "Well, it's more permanent this time. I'm officially retired from the racing world." "Permanent? You aren't coaching Cruz?" "No.. Some things happened. I'm home. For good." "Man, what are you gonna do with yourself?" Ramone asked with a chuckle.

Lightning shrugged, "Not a clue. I mean, I do own the motel with Sally, but.. Never thought of myself as a hotelier." "You could always work on cars around town." Ramone suggested. Lightning shook his head, "It's different when it's your own. I'll pass." Ramone shrugged it off. "Well, glad to see you. How are you and Sally?" The friend asked. Lightning sighed, "I mean.. We're… Alright." Ramone raised a suspicious brow to his friend. Calling him out a little there. Lightning rolled his eyes answering, "It's not great. I think it's salvageable. Just.. I don't know.. There's something missing. I forgive her, I trust her, I love her. Everything is as it should be. I've come to terms with everything, and yet… Something is missing. I can't.. I don't know.. She is not as.. Good to me now.." "Good to you? Why? She scream at you all the time or something?" Ramone asked.

Lightning shook his head explaining, "Sexually.." Ramone stared at his friend. "Oh… That sucks." Is all the painter could muster. Lightning nodded asking, "Is there something I'm missing? That I can do? To make this work?" "I think it's a time thing, man. But.. I mean… Try? Just try doing it but slowly. Take nice and slow. Lots of foreplay could help." "Yeah, uh… Thanks.." Lightning growled and walked out. "See you round!" Ramone shouted at the former racer left. Lightning didn't know what to do! Lots of foreplay? How? The foreplay is what was killing the mood with him. It was like he could get turned on, ready to fuck his wife and then she'd touch him, stroke him, blow him, kiss around his neck and it's like the mood slowly began to downgrade itself.

If it was just straight and to the point, he could no doubt fuck his wife. But she didn't want that.. She wanted him to make love to her. Take the time to give his attention to her entire body. He sighed with frustration. How? How was he going to do that without thinking of how his wife fucked someone else. He forgave her, but that didn't mean he didn't think about it sometimes. It fucking hurt! No. No, he was determined. He was going to make love to this woman some how! That's what was missing. That's what they needed. The connection they didn't have the last couple of times. That's what was missing! But then he thought about the conversation with Sally before.

She opened up about what she had to deal with during the accident. What she endured and had to witness. Lightning had to make a phone call. Pulling out his phone and pressing a few buttons before putting it to his ear. Walking down town as he did.

Hey, Monty.

"Hey, Mom."

How are you doing? How's the young racer? You're not to hard on her now, are you?

"Uh, no. Actually I uh.. I'm home. Fully retired from the racing scene now."

Oh. Wow. Congratulations. Bout time. How is Sally?

"Oh, she's great.. Um.. She's just.. You know, great."

What's wrong?… Did something happen?

"No, no, no. Everything is fine. Um.. Has Chad talked to you much?.. About… Us?"

Us? You and Sally? No… What's going on? A magazine I saw is saying Sally was pregnant and then lost the baby and I never even knew she was and I didn't think much of it because if she were, you would have told me, right?

"Right, well.. That's not why I called."

What's going on?…

"Um.. I just… I'm sorry.. For putting you through so much with the accident.. I didn't mean to."

Oh.. Monty… I'm just glad you're okay.

"Yeah, me to.. But.. Sally told me some of the things that happened and.. I never asked before.. I never thought about what she.. What you had to… I'm so sorry."

You didn't do it on purpose. I love you. You're alive and that's what matters most.

"I know, but after Robbie.. I never wanted you to go through that again, I'm sorry.. I should have retired long ago."

Well.. Good thing you're the great Lightning McQueen, right?..

"Yeah… I… Yeah.."

Monty?…

"I'm just sorry.."

Stop that. I love you and you're alive. I'm happy for that. When are you and Sally gonna come down? We will have to celebrate your retirement.

"Not for a while.. Sally's… Going through some things.."

Was she pregnant?

"Um, I'm… Yeah…"

Why didn't you tell me?

"It was… Complicated…"

How far along was she?

"I don't know. I can't remember. Nearing twenty weeks I think."

Monty… I'm so sorry…

"Anyways.. After everything that's been going on… Our marriage is.. It's bad.. I am trying to figure out how to fix this, but… I don't know what I'm doing.."

You love her, right?

"Well, yeah."

You will figure it out. You two are just going through some depression right now. It's going to be alright, Monty. Have you two talked about how you feel?

"Yeah, all the time. It's more screaming than talking, but yeah.. We just.. It feels like something is missing. I can't figure it out. I think it's one thing, but then I overthink it and it might be another.. I'm afraid I'm… I'm going to lose her, Mom.. I messed up and I…" he paused and sighed, "I did some things that I don't think she could or does forgive.."

What did you do?

"….."

I won't say anything to anyone. You can tell me, Monty.

"I…I… I had a… Thing… With someone else.. I was drinking behind her back, I mean I said such horrible and mean things to her and I put her down, I defended anyone except her basically and I hit her."

What? Wait-what was that last part?!

"I hit Sally. I was afraid and panicked and angry and I hit her."

You hit her? Like aggressively hit a woman?

"Yeah.. I fucked up. I don't know how she could still want to be with me at this point."

What do you mean you hit her!? Like in the face?!

"… Yea…"

First off! The next time I see you I am going to beat your ass so fucking hard that you'll be back in the hospital and I'm gonna get arrested! How dare a child of mine-A SON OF MINE LAY HANDS ON A WOMAN! Secondly!.. no! No secondly! I'm just gonna beat the hell out of your ass!

"I deserve it…"

Yeah! And more! I can not believe you! Not you!? You are my sweet little boy who does everything with such passion and love and now you hit your wife!? Were you drinking when you did this!?

"No…"

That's worse! God dam, Monty.. I… I can't believe you did that.. Why?.. Holy fuck I am so angry with you! When I see you, I am going to strangle your ass! Do you hear me!?

Lightning never heard his mother this pissed before. Fuck. "Mom, I get it. I know! I know I messed up, I was angry.. It was a fight… I just snapped and I hit her. I can't believe I did that either.. I… I know I'm fucked up, alright.. I'm working on that and I'm taking medication and I'm trying to fix this…"

Well if you are lucky enough to have Sally still, it's going to take more than any advice I could give you, son… The two of you sound like you need professional help… I'm sorry…

"Yeah… I've been told that a few times.."

Monty… I… I'm gonna call you back later. I'm.. I'm disappointed and angry and fuck-I'm mad at you. I'm.. I'll call you back later.

And she hung up. Lightning sighed. This was bad. Lightning was desperate to find a way to connect him back to Sally….

Lightning returned home. Closing the front door behind him and realizing all the lights were off in the house. It wasn't that late, he thought. He noticed a dim light was coming from the bedroom, so he followed down the hall. Walking into the bedroom to find candles lighting up the room and the bed all made up. "Sal?.." He called. But fuck. He suddenly felt.. cringy.. Something didn't sit right. "Sal?" He called again as he walked into the bathroom. Finding Sally in her bath robe, standing in front of the mirror as she dried her hair with a towel. "What's going on in the bedroom?" Lightning asked. Sally smiled as she stared at him. "I want us to try." His eyes widened slightly. He blushed and nervously replied, "Yeah, I don't know if"-Sally dropped the robe to the floor, stopping his words.

She was wearing this strap like body suit thing. (Google Victoria secret body suit black. It's the strapped one. Not lace. Looks almost like leather rope is tied up around the body all over) "Um… I… You know, I'm… Tired…" Lightning said nervously. Sally walked up to him, wrapping her arms around his neck as she replied, "I said I want us to try.." Her tone was deep and serious. Kind of sexy. But he wasn't feeling it completely. Fuck. Oh how he wanted this. He wanted this, he wanted this, he wanted this! But he felt sick to his stomach! "Sal…" He cooed. Taking her hands off him. "You are super sexy right now, I mean.. Wow.. But.. I.." "Just hold on." She replied. Turning around and bending over.

Her ass pushing against his pelvis. "You don't even know the best part…" she then reached back and grabbed his hands, placing them on her hips then putting the straps in his hands. "You can use it to pull and hold onto." She said seductively. Oh fuck.. Lightning was growing weak in the knees for this. How-why? "I don't want you to think I just want to fuck you.. Why would you do this?" He asked. Sally rolled her eyes answering, "To entice you.. now.." She wriggled her ass against his pelvis. "Come on. Show me what you got." She teased. Lightning didn't feel it. This was to forced. And now he has to figure out what to do. Give in to this slightly forced engagement and fuck her or tell her no.

Refuse her touch and possibly break her heart. Fuck. He was panicking. Sally stood up and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't this something you'd like?" She asked, turning around and kneeling down. Lightning stared down at her. Watching as she began undoing his pants. He was sweating with panic. No, no. This was fine. Just… Let her use him and it would be fine. This was fine. Lightning stared down at her. Trying to mentally get in a mood for this. Just sex. You know, titties.. Ass.. The taste of a woman. Think of sex, think of porn, think of something that will make you horny as fuck! Fuck, it wasn't working! Lightning felt Sally tug at his boxers and stepped back, "No." he snapped. Sally sat there. Confused. "What do you mean no? I thought you wanted to try earlier?" She reminded.

Lightning buttoned up his pants and admitted, "I.. I did.. But this? I don't want this. You trying like this.. It makes.. It's too much pressure." "Too much pressure?" She questioned as she stood up and slipped on her tone. "What are you saying?" She asked. Lightning sighed, "I… I just… It feels.. Look! You're just trying to hard! I can't do this like this! I'm sorry…" He frowned and turned away. Sally felt awful. She didn't meant to do that to him. She walked up behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Stickers… Come on… I just… I thought you'd like this.." The reason he didn't?… It reminded him of someone else.

Lightning frowned and turned around, facing her. "I'm sorry. I do.. I normally would, but… This isn't us making love. This is you trying to get me to fuck you and.. That's not what I want.. I don't think it's what you want either…" he admitted. Sally frowned. He was right. Lightning lifted her chin up gently as he gazed down into her eyes, "Hey.. Let's not force this.. When it happens, it happens.." "But.. I want it now.. I want to feel you against my skin again… I want us to be happy.." Sally whimpered. Tears forming in her eyes. Lightning grabbed her face gently in his hands and assured, "We will.. I'm happy being here with you. I love you, Sally. And it means a lot to see you did all of this for me. I mean.. Wow. You look gorgeous." He complimented. Sally smiled as she looked in his blue eyes. He meant it.

"Can you… At least… Kiss me?…" She asked quietly. Lightning snickered then leaned in and kissed her lips. It was such a soft and long and passionate kiss with need and love. Mostly love. Sally pulled back. Breaking their kiss then wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. She just wanted to please him, bring him back.. She didn't mean ti pressure him and make it feel forced. "Hey.." Lightning began, "We are not going to Texas. Not now anyways… I… I thought it over. We need to work on us and once we're doing better we'll go. Sound good?" He asked.

Sally nodded, "Yeah, it does. So you're okay?… I didn't upset you to badly did I?" "What!? No! This was a really fun surprise. I hope I didn't… Hurt your feelings. I just.."-"No, I'm fine.. I just thought this would help you." "Be patient. Please.. Just give us time. I love you, I'm not going anywhere, I'm trying to make-not even that, I'm making sure we grow close and heal past all of the crap that's been happening.."

Sally smiled then took his hands in hers. "Okay. Thank you. I promise I'll be more patient. I love you too." Holding his hands in hers as she gazed up at him. Lightning smiled down at her then added, "By the way.. That thing you're wearing. Save it for another day." "So you really like it?" "Oh yeah, of course. You look amazing. But that's for another day. Once things get better and you can enjoy being my little fuck toy again." Sally's face turned bright red! Lightning loved that he made her do that too. But this was good. They were talking and understanding one another and this was working. They were going to make it…

Lightning was half asleep. Opening his eyes slowly as he felt something mess with his hair. He looked over to see Sally brushing his hair out of his face. He smiled, "Morning." "Good morning." Sally greeted back with a smile. Lightning closed his eyes and asked, "What should we do today?" Sally kissed the top of his head, "I have an idea for you." Lightning opened his eyes and asked, "Me? What's that?" "You are going to go up to Wheel Well and book a few guests up there. I want you to clean the place up, fix the place a bit. Make sure it's guest ready by tonight. Sense you need something to do, I thought I'd make you manager over Wheel Well for now. Just until you find something else."

Lightning sighed, "Sounds like a lot of work…" "Are you saying that you can't handle it?" "No, I can handle it.. Just not sure I want to.." He griped. Closing his eyes and nestling into his pillow. Sally snickered then crawled over him. Making him realize she was only in a pair of white lace panties. Making him turn on his back as she straddled him. The two staring into each others eyes. "Sally.." He called softly. Sally smiled and leaned down. Kissing him softly. Lightning closed his eyes and embraced her kiss. His hands going to her ass. She did have a nice ass after all. Sally lifted back up. Staring down at her love and asked, "How are you feeling?" "I just woke up." "About sex. Talk to me. Tell me what's got you stuck." Sally pleaded.

Wanting him to open up to her. Lightning stared at her. She did not want to know the truth about how he felt. She'd brake. "Um.." He began, "I just.. Its… Nothing.. Its.. I'm sorry. I'm just having a hard time…. Concentrating.." "Concentrating? It's sex, not an assignment. Just.. Do what you always do and go with the flow." Sally insisted. Lightning snickered with a smile, "You're cute, but I can't. I don't know.." "Stickers…" Sally cooed. Lightning stared up at her. He hated this. He just wanted to be able to have sex with Sally without being distant and disgusted with himself later. This wasn't like him. He had sex with Cruz a few weeks ago and he was stuck after that. Why couldn't he get going?

Sally was beautiful. Sally was trying and playful and adorable and that little outfit last night!? Come on! Lightning just didn't want to mess it up. Maybe he just needed to satisfy her for now. Just to get her off his back. Lightning reached up and pulled Sally's face down to his. Kissing her gently. The kiss turning into a morning make out session. The way her tongue rolled around his. Awe fuck.. He forgot how she could roll her tongue like that. And when she did that around his member.. Fuck.. Lightning moaned into Sally's mouth. Sally pressing her entire body against his. Her breasts pushing against his chest. They were small. Petite. If she had the body of Cruz, this could be-stop it! Lightning pulled away and panted a bit.

Sally smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" Lightning stared up at Sally then shook his head, "I can't.. I'm sorry.." Pushing her away gently and standing up. Sally raised a brow and pointed out, "You seem pretty stiff there." Lightning glanced down. Fuck! He was pretty stiff indeed through his pajama pants. Lightning sighed. He just had to not think of Cruz. Sally giggled a bit then continued, "I'm here to help if you want me to." Lightning stared at her. Yeah, he wasn't sure about that. What if he started thinking of Cruz again? Or Ben taking what was his in the first place. He did though. How amazing and perfect Cruz was to him, how Sally had let someone touch her and put his shit inside her, which disgusted him beyond anything in his life. But… He was here for SALLY. He needed SALLY. He loved SALLY.

Fuck it. He needed her. "Sally." "Yes?" She asked. Lightning walked up to her. Placing his hands on her knees. She blushed beautifully. "I need to taste you right now." Sally's eyes widened. Lightning kneeling down, spreading her legs.. Diving between them and pushing his lips against her panties. Pushing and taking in her liquids as she soaked those panties. Sally grabbed the bedding. Yelping a bit here and there as Lightning pushed his face into her. He was enjoying her flavor. Closing his eyes and taking in the taste of her. Pulling back a little just to lick her area through the panties. She was incredibly wet. Oh god, how he missed this flavor. This scent. Lightning pulled away, grabbing the panties and pulling them down. One leg out and the other and tossing them aside.

Grabbing her thighs, wrapping his arms around them as he dove back in. Licking up her entrance. Licking slowly up and lapping up her juices. She tasted amazing.. Her scent was great.. But the bitterness of her juices is what had him. Making her moan and grab the bedding. He could do this to a million women, but none would satisfy his hunger like Sally. Cruz was a memory at this moment. A distant one at that. Sally's scent and flavor fulfilled him. He needed this. Lightning needed this escape. Pushing his tongue inside her area and sucking her clit. "Oooh… Oh, Lightning." She moaned. Lightning was lost in her though. His face between her legs, eyes closed as he just enjoyed this. It was always his favorite thing sexually, but with Sally. Oh fuck, he forgot how good she tasted.

Pulling her legs in and pushing his face forward. Sally yelped a bit. The way his tongue played with her clit as he sucked. The way he lapped over her hole and then would push his tongue inside. He wasn't doing this only for her, but he actually wanted this. "Ooohhh… Lightning… Fuck…" She moaned. Lightning was making her so wet. It had been a while sense he enjoyed her like this. He was taking his time. Take it slow, like he was advised. Not letting Sally reach her peak, just giving her the pleasure she wanted and pleasing himself at the same time. Lightning let out a groan into her pelvis.

Sally only moaning in reply. "Lightning… Fuck… Please.." She begged. Lightning didn't stop though. Just pushing his tongue inside her circling around, lapping upwards to her clit and sucking. "Oh fuck!… I.. I want you, Lightning.. Please.." She pleaded. Tears coming into her eyes. Lightning pulled his face back and pulled himself up by the bed and stood over Sally. She looked up at him as she sat on the edge of the bed. Between her legs was soaked, she was breathing heavily, and her face was red. Lightning snickered and then leaned in and kissed her passionately. Just trying to take it slow and enjoy the moment. Don't rush into this. Don't jump into sex.

Take in every part of her. Notice her body and how it moves at his touch. Lightning brushed his right hand over her left breast. Groping it and feeling it. Admiring her body. He broke their kiss and bent over and kissed her breast. Sucking the nipple and rolling his tongue around it. Sally moaned, "Mmmm.. Lightning.." She panted. Lightning knelt down to his knees, kissing above her area, spreading her legs again and licking her right inner thigh. Enjoying her body. Making his way back between her legs. Lightning kissed her area, then licking her up and sucking her clit again. "Ah!" She yelped. Grabbing onto the bedding tightly. Lightning moaned into her again. Just becoming more and more needy if her as he sucked the juices she excreted for him.

Lightning rubbed into her inner left thigh with his right hand. Sucking her clit, rolling his tongue, flickering a bit then he pushed two of his fingers inside her. "Aaahh!…" She yelped and moaned. Lightning thrusted his fingers in and out, curling slightly as his closed eyes rolled to the back of his head from her juices. He just loved this so much. The way she tasted, how wet she was, they sounds of eating her out and fucking her needy little hole with his fingers. Oh god he was going to explode by just this alone! His own sexual hunger growing. "Lightning!.. I.. I'm…Aaahh!" She suddenly shouted in a moan! Cumming over his face and fingers and he slowly stopped his thrust, pulled his hand away then shoved his face into her.

His tongue just lapping her hole as she came. "Oh fuck…" Sally panted heavily. Her high coming back down; Lightning licked her upwards one last time. Ever so slowly. "Fuck…" Sally panted again. Staring down at him. Lightning looked up at her with a smile. He absolutely loved that! Then he stood up, hunching her over. Kissing her forehead, Sally reached for his pants, freeing his member then looking up and kissing him. Under his chin and over the throat of his neck. Lightning felt her grab his member in her soft hands and begin stroking it slowly. Sure, it felt amazing right now.

Sally's touch felt good to his body, Lightning looked down at her and the two making out, Lightning grabbed Sally's legs from under the knees and as he stepped back, yanked her down then flipped her body around, pinning her onto the bed in a now doggy like style position, holding her down by the back of the neck, leaning over her. He froze. No. He needed to look at her. For her sake. But fuck. He didn't… If he did… His mind would start racing around other thoughts and kill the point of this here. Sally panted a bit and asked, "Lightning?…" more of questioning him.

He leaned over and onto her ear in the sexiest deep and quiet tone he mustered, "If I do this, it's not making love to you.. This is just sex.. I don't want to hurt you emotionally… But I'd love to fuck you… I want your body so badly.." he paused and took a breath, "Don't you dare think I don't want to touch you or don't need you physically.. But I know that right now, this isn't going to be the sweet and gentle thing you want most.. Because after getting a taste of you, I can tell it's going to be difficult to hold back.. So you tell me, do you want me to fuck you or stop?.." His tone, his voice made her grow only more needy of him, but.. After how rough he got before.. How rough he could potentially get. Sally sighed, "I… I guess stop…" she answered with disappointment. Then she felt his hand leave the back of her neck.

Sally hesitated, but stood up and turned around to face him. He had already put himself away. Still slightly noticeable though. "Stop teasing." He scolded gently. "I can't keep doing this. It's killing me." "I'm not teasing." "You are. And it's only building up the fucking tension!… Sorry.. I'm… Im frustrated." "If you need to fuck somebody tha"-"Stop. No. I'm not-why did you say it like that? I'm just trying to tell you to stop. You are killing me and at this rate, I am not gonna be able to control myself with you. I don't want that." "I'm sorry…" Sally muttered.

Lightning then with, "No, I'm sorry… But.. That first half helped, thanks." "The first half? What? You going down on me?" "You know that's my favorite thing." He smiled. Sally snickered. It was good to hear. Sally stepped closer and asked, "Are you sure you don't need more?… I can handle being what you need as release sometimes." "But that's not what you want." "Stickers.. I really appreciate that you're putting me first here, but I know you. And I know you can't keep bottling up and edging yourself like this. Keep it up and I may think it's me after all and that everything you just reassured me isn't true." She teased.

Lightning glared at her and reassured again, "I need you and I want you, Sally. It's not that. I just don't want you to be upset after words if we don't have a connection having sex. I don't want to lose you again." "Again?" Sally questioned. Then she grabbed his shirt she slept in and pulled it over her head. Slipping her arms through before sitting on the bed. "You never lost me." She assured. Lightning sighed, "But I did.. To Ben.. I just don't want you to cry and be hurt and start on how you wish there was something between us after I fuck you. So I'm trying to wait until that missing whatever is back before I do." He explained. Sally sighed.

This wasn't going to work. Especially with Lightning. "Stickers.. Just… Don't push yourself to hard. I know you.. I know how you're feeling right now. I know how badly you want to have sex.. And… I'd rather you use me than go off finding someone else or building up frustration… Because then you can be a real dick and that's not going to help our marriage. I can handle it. I like it sometimes.." I mean, she was trying.

But Lightning didn't want her to be lying, he fucks her and then she cries later about how she felt his touch was cold or something. "Okay… I won't push myself, alright?" He replied. "But I can handle this no sex thing for a while. Pleasing you is more than enough." He assured. Sally raised a brow. What a lie. She knew he was only going to snap at some point and sexually he was going to lose it and fuck the hell out of her if he didn't soon. And that could be bad, right?

Would be? Maybe? Yeah… He could get ROUGH. And pent up like that, oh yeah.. Not for her… that or Lightning would find release in someone else.. Sally wasn't sure if he had slept with Cruz.. But he definitely wanted to.. And that hurt. She understood how much she hurt Lightning with Ben and worse, Sally had been pregnant by her affair. Sally sighed. She knew Lightning needed sexual release. The tension was only going to make him snap. Oh well… Time to give up on that figure out this missing thing he was talking about….

Lightning stood there outside of Wheel Well. Greeting the first two couples to check into the motel. "Have a great stay.." He muttered as he handed them their key. The man of the couple raised a brow and asked, "Aren't you Lightning McQueen?" Lightning sighed, "Yep." "Um.. Good to see you." Then walked off with his wife to their room. Lightning rolled his eyes. One customer decided not to check in earlier. It was weird. Then he noticed Sally's car pull up. She stepped out and what the fuck?! She was wearing sunglasses, her hair up in a pony tail, button up white long sleeve tucked into her pencil skirt with the panty hose and pointy heels. She hadn't looked like that.. Sense.. When!? Sally walked up to Lightning and took off her sunglasses crossing her arms.

Shit. "What?…" He asked. He must had done something. "Guido called me." "Oh?" Lightning glanced back at Guido who was cleaning the bar. "And?" Lightning asked as he looked at his wife. Sally began fixing the collar of his red button up. "You are not greeting the customers in a friendly manner. Guido says you're creeping them out." "What?" Lightning snapped then looked at Guido with a glare. Guido looked at Lightning and shrugged before getting back to cleaning. Sally pulled Lightning's face back to her by his jaw. "Stickers.. This isn't gonna work. I actually had one couple call and ask if you were okay. Maybe we can find… Something else for you to take care of." She tried being supportive here. Lightning sighed. "Fine.." He growled. Sally knew it was just that he was frustrated. If he would just open up and let go a bit. But no, he wanted to wait. Which was his choice, but sheesh. His mood was getting affected by this…..

So next up, Sally had Lightning at the Cozy cone motel. Catching up paper work. He sat there at the desk. Entering crap into the computer. It felt like hours and he had barely gotten anywhere with this. Lightning clicked finish in one and it read error. Meaning something did not add up. "Fuck.." He growled. Then dropped his forehead onto the desk. Oh this was painful. Not physically. But he was a racer. For years! And now he was sitting. At a desk. Sitting. Not moving. Not doing anything really! It was frustrating him even more! He could feel his body needing to do something! Anything that involved movement. Lightning stood up and stretched a bit. Loosening the top couple buttons of his red top. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. Who was he kidding, he hated this! There had to be something he could enjoy now to keep him busy sense he wasn't racing! Lightning sat back down in the chair. A little depressed at the fact he was having to search for something to keep him busy. A hobby, a job. Something. And Sally was kind trying to help, but the hotel thing was her thing. Not his. "Fuck.." He growled. Racing was all he knew. What was he going to do!?….

Sally walked into the office that night. The lights were on but blinds closed. "Stickers?.." She called. But then she smiled finding him hunched over and passed out over all the paper work on the desk. He was kind of cute like this. Sally sighed. He was trying to find his place. She walked around and glanced at the computer. "Oh, Lightning.." She muttered. Seeing he did only about two hours worth of work in six. Okay, gonna have to find him something else tomorrow. This wasn't working either. "Lightning.. Lightning.. Wake up, babe.." Lightning blinked a few times as he opened his eyes. Sitting up and looking at Sally. He glanced at the computer then rubbed his eyes, "Sorry.." he growled. Sally kissed him on top of the head, "Don't be. This was the wrong job for you too. We will find something. Come on, let's go home." She replied. Lightning yawned and nodded. Home and bed sounded nice….
