“I realize I ended our relationship suddenly, and I’ve often wondered if you understood why,” she said as she spread the antiseptic cream gently into the wound.“I think, maybe, this isn’t the time to talk about that,” I said. I was already far too personally involved in this case, and getting more personally involved, if that was possible, would make it difficult for me to do my job.“Why…why not?” Lyca asked, sounding a bit hurt. She got a small dressing and some adhesive tape out of the first aid kit and taped the dressing on the wound.After she finished, I turned to her. “I’ve never understood why you didn’t want to see me any more, and I do want to know,” I said. “But I want the time to be right when you tell me, and I’m not sure it is right now.”“But you saved my life,” she said, looking puzzled.“I got lucky,” I said. “If that asshole had fired a second earlier, I’d be standing over your body, explaining to the cops why I let you get kille
I rode the elevator up to Raymond's floor, walked down the hallway, and found his apartment. Considering the fancy rents they charge in places like that, the locks weren't very good. It took me only a few seconds with a lock pick to get into Raymond's apartment. I slipped on another pair of latex gloves and let myself in. Once I was inside, I systematically trashed the place, overturning furniture, emptying the kitchen cabinets, smashing things. I have to admit it felt pretty good. When I had the place looking like a tornado had hit it, I cleared off the kitchen counter and laid yet another computer generated note on it. This one said, "You aren't safe here, either. We can get to you any time we want to. Back off or we'll start breaking bones."I left Raymond's devastated apartment feeling pretty good. Raymond might be just a little upset by the things I'd done. In fact, I hoped he was. I wanted him to be upset, so upset he'd start doing stupid things. One thing was sure; he now knew
When my lips began traveling over the soft skin of her upper chest, Lily moaned exultantly. Her exclamations of joy grew more fervent when my lips ventured up the slope of a firm globe to a swollen, straining tip and I sucked the nubbin of flesh into my mouth."Oh, yes!" she groaned. Her hips began to rock while I paid oral homage to one lovely breast then the other.I paused to remove Lily's sweater and bra, then I resumed caressing and kissing as much of her as I could. My hands explored her magnificent body, gliding lightly over her smooth, warm flesh. My hand slid over the silky skin covering her belly, slipped under the elastic waist of her pants, and delved deeper, moving under her panties and into the mat of hair blanketing her pussy. I pushed my hand down between her legs and slid a finger into her damp opening."Yes! Oh, yes!" Lily groaned. Her hips rose. She was quaking with need. When my finger moved inside her she responded with frantic twisting and nearly incoherent moans

"I think I should be thanking you."Lily blushed and giggled. She glanced at the clock next to my bed. "I gotta get going," she said. "I have to go to work.""I don't mind," I said. "I need to get some rest. But I am glad you stopped by.""Me, too," Lily replied.She got up, and got dressed. I got up too, slipped into my robe, and walked her to the door. Before she left, she kissed me gently. "Thank you," she said softly. "For...for everything.""You're most welcome," I said.Lily kissed me one more time, then she left. I went back to my bedroom, laid down, and went to sleep.I woke later to the insistent chirping of my alarm clock, feeling a bit rested. Lily's visit had made my day a little nicer, but I still felt guilty about what s
I went back up to Lyca's bedroom to check on the layout of the room. Working in only the moonlight coming in the windows, I moved some of the furniture around so the bed would be clearly visible through the sliding glass doors. That done, I went back downstairs, sat down at the electronic console, and listened to Raymond Gleason's angry message again. "You don't know it, Raymond, but your little game is over," I said to the empty room.Richard called me on the secure line a little later to let me know he and Lyca had arrived at the hotel all right. "Vince has assigned some of his men to keep an eye on us," he told me. "We've got the whole floor secure. How are things back there?""Our friend called," I said. "He didn't use the electronic device to alter his voice this time. I think he's upset.""Watch your ass," Richard said. "What if he tries to do something tonight?""I won't let him," I said. "Actually, I'm going to turn off all of the inside lights and leave the house dark. That s
She stood at the front door of her home, waiting for me. "Are you having a problem walking?" she commented, smiling at me seductively. "Is that my fault?""You goddamn well know it is!" I exclaimed. I reached for her, but before I could grab her, she opened the door and disappeared into the house. I staggered into the house after her. I found her standing in her living room. The house was dark except for a small light somewhere which gave off just enough light so I could see her."I'm waiting for you," she purred as I stood there, looking at her. Her fingers opened the buttons down the front of her dress. Then she shrugged her shoulders and the dress slid down her body and floated to the floor. She was standing in front of me nude, save for a pair of lacy white high-cut bikinis.I gaped at the gorgeous woman standing before me for a second, then I started toward her. I couldn't remember ever being more aroused.Katrina grinned while she watched me lurch toward her. "You do want me, do
As my swollen wand slipped slowly into her, Katrina clawed at me and continued making wild, feral sounds.I finally managed to get all of my shaft into her. For a while, I lay on her, not moving."Fuck me! Please!" Katrina begged.I began moving and felt wonderful feelings began to grow and swell through my body.After only a few strokes, Katrina exploded again. "Yes! Oh, yes! It's happening! Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! Uh! Uhh!" she cried, her body spasming wildly, as she experienced another powerful orgasm.When Katrina came, so did I. I groaned loudly as another batch of my hot cream jetted into her.After we finished, we once again laid in each other's arms, resting. After a while, Katrina got to her knees, grasped my still-limp penis in her hand, and began to stroke it. I groaned and my hips squirmed and twisted on the bed. What she was doing to me felt wonderful!Katrina kissed my swollen pole and my groans got even louder. "Myn God, you're making me crazy!" I c
I explained about the fake bomb, and also mentioned the note I’d stuck on Gleason’s back.Moose found the stories as funny as Richard had. “Damn, man, you got one helluva sense of humor there,” he chortled.We settled down to wait. I scanned each car that left the building’s parking lot, but didn’t see Gleason. I checked the cabs that pulled up in front of the building, too, along with the people who walked out of the building. There were several very attractive women who lived in the same building. A few minutes after nine a dark gray Ford Taurus pulled out of the garage.“That’s him,” I said.Moose sat up and fired up the van’s engine.“Stay back,” I said. “I know where he’s going, so we don’t have to do a real tight tail. I don’t want him spotting us.”“No problem,” Moose said.We followed Gleason to the office building
Our kisses continued. It was as if once we started, we couldn’t stop. I managed to unbutton several of the buttons on Lyca’s dress and, when I slipped my hand inside it, I made a delightful discovery. “You…you aren’t wearing a bra!” I whispered between kisses.“I know, I feel so naughty,” Lyca whispered in reply. Her hand slid up my leg and encountered my swollen organ, which was straining uncomfortably against my slacks. A smile formed on Lyca’s lips “What’s this?” she murmured. She gently moved her hand over it.“Uh!” I moaned softly. I knew we had to be careful because we certainly didn’t want the other passengers waking up and seeing what we were doing. “What...what do you think it is?” Delightful sensations were sweeping through me as a result of her gentle caresses and kisses.Lyca kept stroking me, making me even harder. At the same time, I was caressing her breasts and nipples, which had grown erect. I could feel her shudder when I flicked my thumb over one of them. I slipped m
It was a while before either of us had enough strength to move. Finally, Lyca put her arms around me and laid her head on my shoulder. “You are incredible!” she murmured. “I...I can’t get enough of you. The minute you touch me I want you!”“I feel the same way about you,” I told her.She looked at me and smiled. “You know, we should really get out of the shower before we wind up looking like a couple of pink prunes,” she giggled.We finished washing, then got out and playfully toweled each other dry. While Lyca finished doing what she needed to do in the bathroom, I went back to her bedroom and got dressed.Wearing the purple robe, Lyca walked into the bedroom a few minutes later. “After I get dressed, I’m going to call the travel agent,” she said.“All right,” I said. “I love you.”She smiled at me and said, “I love you, too.” Then she walked across the room and hugged me fiercely. “I didn’t ever think I’d say that to anyone,” she said softly. “You can’t imagine how wonderful it feel
We got up. Lyca began clearing the table while I rinsed off the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. After I put the last of the dishes in the machine I dried my hands on a dish towel, walked over to the table, which Lyca had just finished wiping. I put my arms around her, and kissed her. She returned the kiss avidly.After the kiss ended, I cupped Lyca’s delectable bottom in my hands and pulled her middle against mine. Then I turned her around, backed her to the kitchen table, lifted her up and sat her on it.“What on earth do you think you’re doing?” Lyca asked.My lips again covered hers and I untied the belt that held her robe closed. My hands slid inside the robe, onto her soft, warm skin, and I cupped her breasts and my thumbs tweaked her nipples to full, tingling erection.My penis grew erect and tented the front of my slacks as I worked on Lyca’s glorious breasts. I spread Lyca’s robe even farther apart, moved between her bare, silken legs, cupped her buttocks, and pressed a
Lyca rolled over and was kissing me, hugging me, and babbling excitedly. "I love you! Oh, God, I love you!" she gushed. "That was fantastic! I never knew making love could feel that wonderful! God! I love you! I love you!""I love you, too," I told her, returning her kisses. "What just happened was the best it's ever been for me."Lyca gazed down at me, her eyes wide and filled with adoration. "Was it really?" she asked, looking surprised. "Not even with your wife?""It never came close to that with Natalie," I told her. "I never knew making love could be that wonderful." I kissed her again."I'm glad you came back into my life," she whispered. "You can't imagine how glad." Her hands were traveling over me and her face took on a serious expression when she touched the bandage on my shoulder. "How is your shoulder?" she asked."It's getting better all the time," I replied."It terrifies me to think you could have been killed," she said as her hands continued moving over me."It kinda s
My emotions were in turmoil. From dreading what she was going to say I'd gone to a state of near-euphoria. "I...love you, too," I stammered. I took another sip of my coffee, another deep breath, then said, "I'm in love with you."Lyca gazed at me, her expression unreadable. My heart thudded like a jackhammer. What was her response going to be?She squeezed my arm, smiled, and said, "I'm in love with you, too. I knew it the minute you walked back into my life the other day."I couldn't breathe. Lyca had just told me she was in love with me! I couldn't believe it! My fondest dream had become reality!Then, for some reason, things seemed to get strained between us. For some reason, having admitted our love for each other left us not knowing what to do or say next. We at there on the sofa, looking at each other.It was clear to me nothing was going to happen unless one of us did something, so I slid closer to Lyca. She kept staring at me.When I put my arm around her shoulder, she sighed
“No, and I’m not sure I want to again,” I replied. “I’ve never seen anyone as wild as Gleason was.” My ribs still hurt like mad. I winced when I opened the door of my car.Harkins shook his head. “You ought to get those ribs looked at,” he said. “He coulda broke one, kicking you like that.”“Probably did,” I said. “Maybe I will stop at the hospital and have them checked.”“You take care,” he said. “I’m not sure I’d have done it the way you did, but you got two prime assholes out of our hair this week. I’d say that’s enough for anyone. Take it easy for a while, OK?”“You have my word on it, Lieutenant,” I said.The doctor in the emergency room told me my ribs were seriously bruised, but not broken. “Take it easy for a while and you’ll be just fine,” he said. “And I’d stay away from strenuous exercise for a week or so.”“Doc, I plan to sleep for a week or so,” I told him.I left the hospital and drove home. I wanted to see Lyca, but I needed rest, too, and she probably could stand some
I dropped the binoculars, stood up and, standing in the combat position, aimed my pistol at him. He fired another shot. Before he could work the bolt action on his rifle, I yelled, “Freeze, Gleason! Drop the gun!”He stiffened, turned, and continued working the action on the rifle. I fired at him, aiming for the middle of his body. The rifle flew out of his hands and he went over backward.Moving carefully, I approached him, holding my gun on him. I was pretty sure I’d hit him. I seldom miss what I’m shooting at. He laid there on his back, very still, with his eyes closed. I peered at him, trying to see where the wound was. I couldn’t, so I stepped closer. Too close.Gleason suddenly came to life. His leg came up quickly, too quickly for me to avoid it, and he kicked the gun out of my hand. The next thing I knew, roaring like a wild man, he was on me, his weight carrying me back, taking me off my feet. When we hit the ground, the wind was knocked out of me and, before I could get to m
“Noticed that he checked the brakes,” Moose said. “You’d think he’d trust a couple of trustworthy-looking guys like us.”I handed Moose a hundred dollars.“What’s this?” he asked.“A bonus for doing a good job today,” I said.“What do you think he’s going to do when he hears that tape you put in the car?” Moose asked.The only thing I did to Gleason’s car was put a tape I made up in the tape deck. It was set to run quietly for a while before the message kicked in, so he’d be well away from the building before he heard it. The message said, “We could have gotten you again today, but we didn’t. This is your last warning. Leave Mrs. Wilkins alone or we’ll get serious. We’ve already proved we can get to you any time we want. By the way, have you gotten your place cleaned up yet?”“I hope he cans this shit he’s been pulling on our client, but I don’t think he will,” I said.“So that shit you planned for tonight is still on?” Moose asked as he wheeled the van through traffic.I nodded. “I t
“You want me to call the police, Mr. Gleason?” the security guard asked.Gleason looked at the guard, then at me. I tried to look impatient. Moose shuffled around, looking as if he wanted to go, too.“They’re not going to find anything, any more than they did yesterday, the incompetent fools,” Gleason said finally. He looked at the car, then at me. “You sure you can have it done and back here by three?” he asked.“No problem, Mr. Gleason,” I said. “Me and Moose, we’ll do the job ourselfs, won’t we, Moose. We’ll tell the boss it’s one ‘a them priority jobs, right?”“Yeah, we’ll do that,” Moose said.Gleason looked at the security guard. “File a report on this with the police, but tell them I sent the car to be repaired and they don’t have to come over,” he said. He turned to me. “Go ahead and fix it. If I have the damn lease company fix it, they’ll just charge me extra and they probably wouldn’t get it fixed today.”“Where do you want me to bring it at, what, three?” I asked.“Be out f
