This chapter is rated M for sexual content.

Once the front door was closed and locked, Benoit proceeded to pin Julia against a wall and eventually he got her pants and panties off enough to where he could enter her. He rapidly and ferociously pumped into her over and over, causing Julia to scream out his name repeatedly. He was practically a rutting savage at this point and for the next three days, he made love to her all over the house. In the bedroom, the shower, the kitchen, the basement, the living room, the garage, and even on the patio a few times. And even on the roof.Not even a week went by before Benoit had moved back in. Julia helped get his "man cave" back in proper order and she added more items to her regular grocery run. As much as he loved having groceries delivered, however, Benoit hated being stuck inside a house again. Julia suggested they could take up gardening, so Benoit decided to give it a shot. After doing some research, they both decided that gardening flowers was far too complicated. Instead, they worked on cars.Julia ended up buying him a junker car to start rebuilding. A 1969 Plymouth Barracuda which had, unfortunately, seen much better days. She got a great deal from the local junkyard and while the engine was not in perfect condition, it showed promise on being rebuilt. This was the perfect project for Benoit to keep his mind from going nuts during quarantine. Based off the original components that needed to be tracked down due to corrosion and other issues, as well as redoing the entire interior (the upholstery on the seats was atrocious), Julia surmised it would probably be a six to nine month job. Normally, a job like this would take much longer, but because of the quarantine, where else did they have to go to spend their time?About a week or so into the car restoration, Benoit decided to go out for a bit. "Where are you going?" Julia asked as she was under the hood, getting the engine prepped for removal."I've received a call from a possible client," he replied, kissing her cheek. "I'm only going to meet them, see if their case is interesting. If not, I'll be back in two shakes of a lamb's tail."Julia giggled as she started removing a bolt. "I love the way you talk."Benoit chortled lightly, holding her from behind as he kissed her neck. "In the bedroom or out of it?""All of it, baby," she cooed.Blanc gave her another kiss on the neck before bidding her farewell and he quickly made his way out of the garage to his own car.XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXJulia watched him go with a smile, then she decided she needed a break anyway. She shut the garage, not even bothering to put her tools away before heading back into the house to wash her hands. Maybe she could get some writing done while Benoit was out. She opened her laptop and started writing, letting the words flow across the screen flawlessly as the hours passed.Well, almost flawlessly.She was starting to get a headache but Julia figured it was from all commotion of ordering parts for her boyfriend's car. She massaged her temples, grumbling from the increasing intensity of it. Just as she was about to go get some Advil, her phone rang.It was Marta.Julia proceeded to put the phone on speaker. "Hello?""Julia! Turn on the news!" Marta shouted.The author cracked her neck and grabbed her tv remote before turning the TV on, then she clicked into a news station to see a male anchor."After the death of famous YouTuber Duke Cody and the destruction of the Mona Lisa off the mainland of Greece, Miles Bron and others on the small vacation reportedly contracted Covid-19 and are allegedly in quarantine. Miles Bron is awaiting his trial to-"Julia put the mute button on and growled. "Fuck my life," she sighed."You and the detective should get tested."The front door opened and Benoit came in with some bags. "I'm home!" he said happily. Julia, who now had a huge frown on her face, groaned loudly. "What's wrong, chickapen?" The detective cooed. "I was only gone a few hours.""Benoit, we've got-" Julia began before Blanc walked over, tossing his jacket on the counter as he stared at Julia hungrily."Of course, being away from you for that long has certainly wet my appetite," he chuckled."Detective!" Marta squealed."Oh shit, is that Marta on the phone?" Benoit laughed, his cheeks turning bright red.Julia burst out laughing while throwing her head back. "Yes, she just...oh, ow," she hissed, remembering she had a headache."Detective, you and Julia need to get tested for COVID. The others on your vacation got it, too," Marta explained.Immediately, Benoit went to Julia's side and felt her forehead. "Oh dear, you do feel a bit flushed, darlin'," he said."You should get yourselves tested," Marta quipped in worriedly. "I have a list of doctors you can call for this, hold on."While Marta was making noises of searching, Benoit sighed. "Well, shit," he said before walking into the kitchen. "I'm gonna make fix you can ice pack, get your fever to come down."Julia groaned as she rested her forehead on the table. "Just shoot me."

"Nonsense."
