MAGGIE
Before finishing my shift at the clinic, Tiffany throws a bomb at my lap by yelling me at the door so I could answer the telephone.
“Maggie, your father is on the phone.”
I try whispering, asking her to tell him an excuse, that I’m busy, but before my suggestion, Tiffany says:
“I tried telling that you were busy, but you know how your father is, he said you should drop those pests full of fleas and answer him quick.”
“Well, you tell him I’m in the middle of taking care of an animal and as soon as I’m finish, I’ll call him.”
After a few exams, I checked if Mrs. Petterson’s cat is with an intestinal infection caused by some crap the animal ate.
I scratch Chester’s fur and play with it, while I scratch it’s little soft ears.
“Chester, can’t you see you’re too old to wander around, eating crap, this way you’ll die, kitty.”
I prescribe the necessary medications and I send Mrs. Petterson to schedule another appointment to Chester for next week.
Mrs. Petterson is a faithful client, generous with her tips and comes here often, she would be perfect if she wasn’t starting to get senile.
“Chester is the happy one, doctor Margareth… He can wander around, fucking a female cat here and there, and me? How do I get a little action in this dead town, there isn’t even a good sex shop around here? Do you really want you know what I miss?”
I prefer not to ask, but even so she goes on talking out loud, while I she squeezes poor Chester against her chest.
“I miss a man warming my old ribs, I miss that delicious coming and going…”
While Mrs. Petterson is in an embarrassing reverie about her inexistente sex life, Hunter opens the clinic door and stops when he hears an almost 70 year old woman talking a rosary of indiscretions.
“I miss a good roll in the hay, turn belly to belly, making the beast of two backs hot and sweaty, Chester can go out there and fuck what pussy he wants to, and me? Only if I go to Oregon pay for one of those boys that do it for money, and where would I get the money? Not from the shitty pension the deceased left me.”
She suddenly sees Hunter coming in her direction and she almost salivates.
“Is this hunk your client, doctor Margareth?”
I nod and he shakes, Mrs. Petterson looks at me and to him then she leaves smiling, shooting at me now with her machine gun of obscenities.
“I got it, you are sleeping together, aren’t you? If jealousy could kill, doctor, you would have fallen here in front of me, with your tongue purple sticking out. What a delicious man, you and Chester are happy to fuck till you’re satisfied, me… I can’t only miss Simon’s cock, ah! Old age is shit. Till next week doctor Margareth and thanks for everything.”
Chester started to growl at Hunter, trying to scratch him, Mrs. Petterson shook my hand and went by Hunter whispering something.
And before she left I could see Hunter jump, holding his butt, laughing really embarrassed… What an old sexual pervert this Mrs. Petterson.
I enter the office wanting to bury my head on the ground because of the embarrassment and Hunter follows my thoughts, Tiffany look at us and when she stares at Hunter she blushes, the poor girl looks at Hunter up and down, redder than a tomato… I imagine a hand full of dirty thoughts are going through Tiffany’s mind right now… Well, he got another fan besides Mrs. Petterson.
As soon as the office door closes, he approaches me like a predator, and I run my tongue through my dry lips, anxious for Hunter soft mouth.
He goes through the distance between us and pulls me to his chest, glueing his master lips on mine. Ah! Besides being really hot and well hunk, he looks at me and smiles with the best of bad a boy smile.
“I don’t like little games to see who gives in first, Maggie. I really wanted to see you, then, I’m here.
I tighten him and was sincere too.
“I really wanted to be with you too and that’s so crazy, we were together not long ago.”
Hunter nibble my ear, getting a moan out of me.
“It’s not for us to think, it’s just to feel… Let yourself go and I’ll carry you, baby.”
He got my purse and when he was almost out of the office the cellphone started to ring.
Hunter gave me the purse back, shit! It’s dad again.
I let it ring and Hunter keeps looking at me, obviously surprised to know what call was it that I insisted in not answering it, by the fifth ring, I decide to speak with dad and end this torture. And I well imagine what is the topic of our conversation.
“Hi, dad, I’m fine. I was with a patient, sometimes I can’t answer you right away.”
My father makes me the damn question I don’t want to answer.
“Did Frederic call you, Margaret?”
“No, he didn’t call.”
“All of this must me a misunderstanding, he’s a good guy, he has a brilliant future ahead, we have the same political ideals and he…”
I’m tired of this shit, of serving as a pawn to my father’s little political games, the truth is Fred isn’t but a chauvinist pig, a sexist that thinks he’s entitled to make a mistake with his secretary and I have to accept it, like the perfect and discreet bride my father wanted me to be.
“I already know what you’re going to say, Senator Geffrey Hanks, you’ll say he a great catch to a silly and dreamy girl like me.”
“That was a man’s mistake, a silly slip.”
“Slip was if he had fucked her once, but even he admitted that he had an affair with her for two years, two fucking years, besides that, you tell me it’s your friend slip with those two prostitutes, Senator Hanks?”
“Don’t call me Senator, I’m you father Maggie. Why don’t you want to give him a chance, are you going out with anybody?”
I can’t expose Hunter to all this crap, he’s a nice guy and my father would make his life a living hell if he knew we were getting to know each other. I won’t accept Fred again, but I prefer to deny it.
“No, I’m not going out with anybody.”
Hunter, who was listening to the conversation quietly watching me, lowered his head and handed me the purse, getting out of the clinic.
He was hurt by me saying that I was alone, but I know my father’s disastrous capacity in manipulating the life of his enemies, I don’t want Hunter to go through that, to become my father’s enemy.
“Dad, I have to hang up, bye, we’ll talk later, Senator Hanks.”
“I told you not to stop calling me that, Maggie.’
I hang up and I go to the clinic door looking for Hunter.
When I get to the sidewalk he’s putting his helmet on and starting his Harley Davidson. I stop in front of the bike, he removes the helmet and looks at me seriously.
“Big Guy, let me explain.”
He crosses his arms, filling his chest even more because of anger.
“And is there and explanation, Margareth?”
I get near him and he pants, visibly upset.
“Where were you going to take me?”
“It’s blues night at The Sickle tonight, I thought you might wanted to…”
I stop him, getting on the bike, while I talk:
“I love blues, let’s go, Hunter, we’ll talk there.”
He gets off the bike and gets an extra helmet in the croup, touching my entire body while he buckles the helmet, when I get near to kiss him, he turns his lips and sits on the bike, starting it to leave.
I tight his large back, feeling his muscles stiffening while I grab myself to his waist.
Today the bar is packed, a beautiful and tall redhead all dressed in leather kisses Hunter cheeks and looks me up and down, stretched her hand and introducing herself right after.
“Please to meet you, I’m Lupita, Hunter’s friend and waitress at the bar.”
“Please to meet you Lupita, I’m…”
She stops me and smiles a tempting smile that must get man underwear of half of the bar.
“Famous Maggie, Hunter talks a lot about you.”
Hunter went to the other side of the counter, visibly trying to avoid me.
“Famous I don’t know, but yes, I’m Maggie, so, you mean tonight it’s blues night.”
“So, you like to move that magnificent body listening to some good old blues?”
“Blues, rhythm and blues, rock, I enjoy everything.”
She got really near my mouth and licked her own lips.
“You enjoy everything? Don’t say that if you’re not sure, baby. My heart can’t stand an informations as delicious as this.”
Is it me or Hunter’s femme fatale friend is flirting with me?
I deny with eyes wide open and she smiles again.
“I don’t say everything, I mean, all kinds of music, I like to diversify! My god, that wasn’t what I wanted to say anyway.”
Hunter growls out loud to Lupita and she thinks he’s angry face is funny.
“Lupi, I told you she was mine, can you stop flirting with my girl, you are a fucker from hell.”
Lupita went away laughing and went straight to the jukebox, coming back shaking her hips by the sound of Sugar blues singing Hoochie Coochie man. I stared at the handsome guy in front of me and Lupita came back challenging Hunter.
“Go dance with your girl, before I take her, if she tastes my arms once, Hunt, you’re gone.”
Hunter didn’t say anything, but he came towards me, taking me by the hand out of the room, through a dark corridor, in silence.
He led me to a space that looked like an office. He looked the door without taking his eyes off the me.
Without touching me, he stopped right in front of me, huge and slightly dark, my heart was beating hard with the expectation of what he was going to do with me.
“I’m really, really angry, Maggie.”
I nod.
“Uhum.”
“But now I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to think, I just want to bury myself deep inside you till I forget there’s a world out there.”
I swallowed dry, it’s amazing the wreckage he does to my self controle, how much he makes me wet and desperate by saying these things, making me crazy.”
I won’t deny it, I won’t say I don’t want it, that he doesn’t move me, I need him inside me, as much as he needs to fuck me, with no time to think if it’s right or wrong, where will it go this thing that we have, I don’t care, I just want his addictive lips, his huge hands sweeping my skin, his tongue whipping my clitoris, his huge and delicious cock, tormenting me with his piercing massaging my pussy.
“So, come, Hunter.”
He kept staring at me making fists with his hands, till he broke the silence and ordered:
“Take off your clothes and sit on the desk, Maggie.”
I thought of protesting, say that I want him docile and patient, but by looking Hunter with his stern and hoarse, a male takes his female the way he wants, that arouses me too. I take off my spaghetti strap shirt and slide the leggings through my legs, just keeping my white thong and bra.
“Panties and bra too.”
I opened the bra without letting him look and as I was making myself naked in front of him his eyes were narrowing, focus and wishful, I take off my panties letting it slide over my hips before falling on the floor, he took it off my ankles, he smelled it with hunger in his eye and put it on the back pocket of his jeans.
“Spread yourself on the desk, I’ll taste you, but you’ll only cum by squeezing my cock when I fuck you, understand, Maggie?”
Words escaped me, I’m all desire, my clitoris is pulsing with the expectation of Hunter inhuman tongue. What he’s capable of doing with that tongue, he’s capable of making submissive the strongest of women. And I’m so weak to resist my will of taking him, I need him deep inside me.
Hunter fits himself between my thighs and pulls my hands back not letting me touch him, that makes me frustrated but aroused at the same time.
And his lips wander through my neck, nibbling my ear, my shoulder still marked by his bite, the curve of my breasts.
He releases my hands and goes down to my nipples, biting them at once and sucking and licking my breast till he drives me crazy, I bend my body back giving my more access to my breast, and he caress them delicately while he sucks my nipples even harder, making me wetter and lit.
Hunter kisses my belly, nibbling my skin, and opens my thighs, leaving them wide open. His face disappears between my legs and he teases me, kissing and sucking the internal part of my thighs but without getting near my sex. I’m ready to go mad, my body is very tense by the expectations of his mouth on me. Till he decides to end my suffering, he opens my labia with his fingers and licks my clitoris on the right spot. Without going through my sex, without provoking me around, just on the exact spot to make me scream with pleasure… I try to cover my mouth with my hands but he reprimands me.
“Don’t cover your mouth, Maggie, I want to hear your screams, baby.”
Hunter continues to assault my clitoris with his perverse tongue, whipping the tip of my little button and sticking his finger in my pussy.
“You want more from me?”
“Uhum.”
“Ask, ask, Maggie, I’ll give it to you.”
“Give me all of you, Big Guy.”
He introduces another finger in my vagina, thrusting with two fingers, in and out, in and out, and I wetter and wetter, my thighs are moist, I can’t think anymore, I just want, I just need, I’m all feelings, waiting a pleasure that’s building up my womb, turning inside. And I moan more anymore, without worrying with the world outside, with the patrons in the bar, with my father and my set up engagement, with my prick ex fiancé. There’s only Hunter and me, nothing else and no one else.
He gets up from my thighs and guides his cock inside me, penetrating me slowly, massaging my pussy entry.
Hunter and I sweat like two animals and the thrusts my pussy, so hard and deep that i scream louder and louder, begging him to let me cum, lamenting, suffering, lost in suspense pleasure.
I turn my back, he sinks his fingers on my hips and I raise my ass in search of relief, hitting my ass on his cock, once, twice, so many time that I lose myself, we get lost in one another.
“Cum on my cock, you’re mine, baby.”
Nibbling my ear, while he whispers how much he loves me burying himself on my body, how much he want to be my man, Hunter furiously cums while I too free myself, squeezing his cock inside me, feeling him drop his semen and affection in me.
“I’m your man, Maggie, remember that when you say I’m no one.”
He gets out of my body and gets me on his arms carrying me to the couch, both naked, exhausted with pleasure.
I know he’s still hurt at me, that’s why I explain while he sits me on his soft lap.
“Hunter, I was engaged not long ago, a relationship that was interesting to my father, he only thinks of himself, in politics, poisoning everything around him, I know what he’s capable of doing when someone crosses his path, it’s sad to a daughter to say that, but his interests are what he cares about. I don’t want him to hurt you, that’s why I said I wasn’t going out with anyone, I don’t want to get in the way of what we have, what we have is important to me, I really like you, Big Guy.”
His expression softened, he smiled at me and put his lips on mine.
“You’re very important to me too, I’m falling in love with you, baby, don’t hurt my heart, remember, what was our deal?”
I caressed his chest and I felt his heart beating stronger when I said:
“I take care of yours and you take care of mine.”
“Then treat it with care, you’re the only woman that can hurt it.”
My eyes filled with tears, he’s so strong, so manly and dominant, but sweet at the same time
I’m really screwed. While I hug him, still naked, I get to the scary conclusion, that I’m falling in love with Hunter too, and I’m really afraid of this we are living could end because of my father’s frame ups.
HUNTER Today I’m excited, I thought about my conversation with Maggie about the fight with Pipo and I think it’s time for me to get out of the sabbatical period and return to the second thing I love the most: Fighting! The first one, of course, it’s baby. And in whatever way she wants to come: like a competent veterinarian, a naughty girl dancing in my bar and the best one, under me with her bold lips smiling while I kiss her. Even though I like Latoya a lot, my Harley Davidson full of curves and strong personality, I’m way more into Maggie! After all, fuck! I can’t wrap myself around Latoya it would be weird. 
MAGGIE Hunter’s breathing slowly gets back to normal, I’m still wrapped around his neck, the cold water soaking our stiff bodies. He was on the verge of a nervous break down, it was scary. The way he suspended Fred by the neck, as if another man lived inside him, primitive, uncontrollable. I know that if I was some other kind of woman, I would be miles away after seeing him almost killing a man. But I’m not any kind of woman, and Hunter, definitely isn’t one of the guys I dated, or the coward Fred. He just wanted to protect me, to get Fred’s hands off me, but a wrath came o
HUNTER I even get worried with everything so perfect in my life, call me a pessimist if you want, I know it’s not about thinking I don’t deserve a slice of the so boasted happiness. Everything is about a clearly simple statement: I’m not used to gentleness, cuddling, never, from nothing and no one. The beatings I got from life started early from my first years of life: my parents used to say I was a child with delicate health, my bones were too weak and no doctor could explain it. I barely walked, I didn’t play with my brothers. Till the day there was a fight between Adam and some boys from the other pack, he tried to face them all alone and of course, he got the worse of it. As he is my older brother, the role model I always admired and followed, without me even waiting to, I got in the middle of all the confusion. I
MAGGIE I think I can get really spoiled waking up with this wall of a man stuck to my back. Hunter is moving agitated, like if he was stuck in some kind of nightmare, he hugs me tight, almost to the point if suffocating me and he moans disconnected words. “Don’t be afraid, baby, no, don’t, stay!” I try to squirm free of his grip and I turn to face him, Hunter waked up sweating, still trying to find himself in his own bedroom. I caress his cheeks, and he looks scared at me, it must have been a horrible nightmare. I ask him what he dreamt abut. Hunter looks me still rubbing his eyes and then I looks away embarrassed. 
MAGGIE Cold sweat runs down my body, I toss and turn on bed and I don’t have the strength to get out of the nightmare. I can’t say if what’s going on is my mind fantasy or if I really lived all that, there an infinity of blanks in my mind to be filled, the image is always the same, my mother arguing with my father at the library, their are in a heated conversation and they can’t see me. Dad yells at mom, he has papers in his hands, insisting on her to sign them, but she resists saying: “You can’t fool me anymore, Geffrey, how could you be such a villain?” “Lucila! Let’s finish this ridiculous argument, I’m your husband, you are sick,
HUNTER Our trip to New York was less tiring than I thought, I can even say that it was a riveting trip, Maggie sleeps cuddle up in my arms while I read ‘Archer’s Voice’ by Mia Sheridan, with the cover covered in black , of course! After all, I’m tired of my friends making fun of me because I’m a MMA fighter who likes to read novels. We get to Park Central Hotel and Gary check us in, I’m so happy for Maggie being here with me I’m barely able to hide my happiness. Gary looks at us hugging in the elevator and throws a bucket of cold water on me by saying: “Love is beautiful, but in a few minutes we are going to the gym to practice, okay, Sickle?”&n
MAGGIE I went shopping and when I got back to the hotel I was still pensive, with something bothering that something doesn’t fit, I’m almost sure Manfred is hiding something, but I’m going to find out. As soon as I get to Portland, I’m going to get to know my assets, I think that if mom wanted dad far away from my inheritance, there must be a really strong reason to make her think like that. Getting to the suite I’m in with Hunt, I find him doing push ups in the middle of the room, wearing only boxer shorts, that’s just dirty, that’s not fair, geez, I’m made of flesh and bones. And my desire for my Big Guy is so frail. The thoughts that invade my mind by looking at his muscly
HUNTER It’s seven in the morning on the side table watch, I watch Maggie sleeping, her calm face, the lips slightly open, her bangs on her face and I think that I’m a lucky guy. Life tripped me a few times, but also gifted me with amazing brothers and a fantastic woman, that surprisingly faces my imperfect trajectory, broken and she still loves me and looks me with the same magic of the first time she saw me. I get up, take a long shower and as my sleepy girl still on Morpheus arms, I decide to run in the park and get back in time to have breakfast with her. I put on my running sweat pants, a low cut green shirt, my training sneakers, my headphones with selected James Brown songs and I quickly take the elevador,
CONNOR I get off my truck in a hurry, I really miss my family, my wandering pack of lost wolves. Everything is the same, the Vaugh ranch never losses its charm. Built with noble wood, varnished, wide windows and the old bench on the porch. Rustic, simple and cozy, like the four of us. All is the same way of when I left, my house, my refugee, where my brothers and I grew up and became men. I put down my backpack and I climbed up the porch stairs yelling and no one came to answer the door, where are they? Adam and Hunter don’t live here anymore, but they said they would be at the ranch tonight so we would see each other here, to have a few beers celebrating my return to Portland, then why is the house empty? And the lights are off? I go to the back door that is on our backyard and when I open it a choir of familiar v
CONNOR The Fire Department patio of Portland is full of people. Today is our department’s birthday and a big event is happening to celebrate this important date. During the graduation, the announcer tells me to get a stand out place on the authorities stage. “Lieutenant Vaugh, three steps forwards.” I position myself in front of Colonel Twain, salute him and he gives me an honor medal for excellence, professionalism and relevance in my services, the re
THE STRAGGLERSBOOK 3: CARE A FIRST LOOK: CONNOR VAUGH & LUNA AGNELLI CONNOR VAUGH The kermess is very lively, I enjoy the day off, something very uncommon in my life, to catch up with my friends. I drink a Budweiser with Jared and Phill, friends from the battalion. “Don’t you miss vacations, Lieutenant Vaugh, it will be two years since you’ve taken vacations.”&nb
HUNTER VAUGH “Come here, Mel, come here with daddy.” Melanie smiles one of her smiles that disarms me, with four teeth and she crawls on the ranch porch. She supports herself on Adam’s legs and gets up slowly, one little step after the other, falling five steps later. “That’s it, my princess, one step at the time.” Damy opens the living room door with Jeremiah on his neck, I get Jerry from his father’s arms and I nibble his fat little belly, while Mel in wrapped around Damy’s legs and stretches out her arms asking to be picked up. Adam carries Melanie to the back of the ranch, to our yard,
HUNTER I opened the ranch door and as soon as I entered the living room, I saw Connor stare at the suitcase in my hand and quickly his smile died on his face. “Hi, Hunt, di… did something ha… happened?” Kay closed the refrigerator and came towards me, he stopped chewing an apple by seeing the bleakness on my face. “Fuck, Hunt, Maggie dumped you, was it? What the fuck did you do this time, old man?” How could I answer Kay’s question with dignity? How should I start numbering the shits I did that ended up fucking my relationship with Maggie?
MAGGIE The fist image I see when I wake up is Hunter’s face. His eyes are red and teary, but even so, my Big Guy smiles at me. A weak and sad smile, that I insist in finding out why is on the face I so much love. He holds my hand and asks worried. “Hey, baby, how are you feeling, my love?” “Still dizzy, a little pain.” I look to the empty crib by my side and ask Hunter why my children are not here. “Where are the babies, love? Why they haven’t brought them yet? They must be hungry, they need to be fed.&rdq
HUNTER Maggie is fallen on the road and I approach her smell of agony and pain. I scrap the nose in her belly and something is wrong, my babies suffer, I can feel them. I howl bagging uncle Quinn to help me, he crouched even with his wounded leg and raises her in his arms, taking her to the truck. Uncle Quinn lays Maggie on the back seat and I sit by her side, in guard, trying to protect her form the pain, from the fear. As soon as Adam jumped on the back of the truck, uncle Quinn started, stepping down on the truck. I close my eyes trying to get back to my skin, but I feel my body electrifying, pulsing by the heat of combat, the tense muscles, taken by the beast, lost between the fury of the animal and the reason of man. I breathe slowly, immerse in darkness and s
Five months laterHUNTER “I’ve said no, Calvin, if it’s not to fight in a town near by, don’t even call me, fuck!”, I yell trying to make the mule that is Calvin to understand. Calvin replies trying to convince me at alls cost that the days I would be in New Jersey, Rico Lopez, one of the owners of the gym where I train, can support Maggie if she feels something because of the pregnancy. He can only have lost his mind, this guy is crazy? He wants me to get to the fucking road and leave my seven month pregnant wife with my babies under Lopez’ care? Calvin can only be joking with me by suggesting something absurd like this. I became completely rude and end up making Calvin see how much his suggestio
HUNTER I don’t know if I’m more sensible for having find out I’ll be a dad or if it’s just that I miss the boys mess, but today I decided to get out of the bar and go to the ranch to be with my brothers. The door opens and Samantha greets me on the porch with a wide smile. She’s wearing a short jumper and her hair tied in two lose braids, my sister-in-law couldn’t be more beautiful and feminine. I lean over to kiss her cheeks and caress her large belly, she gets on the tip of her toes and hugs me in a nice way, putting her arm on my waist and yelling to the guys. “Look who’s here?” Adam is flipping some hamburgers on the grill and throws a
