All Chapters of Afternoons with the Rugged Mechanic: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Honey, the car broke down. If you have time today, could you take it to a repair shop?” I received the text from my husband, Jeffery Miller, while I was doing chores around the house.“Okay, honey, but I might be home a little later,” I replied.Grabbing the car keys, I headed to the nearest auto repair shop.“Hello? Is anyone here?” I called out as I walked in.“My car’s engine seems to have an issue. It needs to be checked and repaired.”There was no response.The heat was stifling, and I was growing impatient. I muttered under my breath, “What kind of repair shop doesn’t have anyone around?”“Who says there’s no one here? I’m right in front of you.”I was about to leave when a deep, strong voice startled me from behind.I turned around but didn’t see anyone.“Over here.”I finally spotted a rugged man, covered in grease, crawling out from under a wrecked car.I blushed instantly, not because of how dirty he was, but because he exuded a raw, masculine energy that was h

To ease arousal coursing through my body, I reached behind and discreetly unhooked my bra, hoping to pleasure myself a little before Stanley came back out.But before I could finish, Stanley stepped out sooner than I expected!To my shock, he was wearing nothing but the pair of semi-sheer boxer briefs I had handed him earlier.And to make things worse, I couldn’t help but stare at the obvious bulge in the front.“Didn’t expect you to be into this kind of style, Missy,” he teased, walking toward me with a playful grin.“N-no, it’s not like that. I just grabbed something off the bed for you...” I really hadn’t given it much thought when I picked them up; I definitely didn’t mean anything by it.“Missy, aren’t you supposed to help me put on some ointment?”Stanley casually spread his legs and sat down on the lounge chair, looking like some kind of god waiting to be worshipped.Blushing, I picked up the ointment and walked over to him.“It might sting a little. Try to bear with

“And don’t get jealous now, but Dona and I hit the jackpot on our first try. It’s a boy. One shot, and we’re having a son! Do you know how lucky that is?”I was speechless.To have a child with Jeffery, I begged him to go to the clinic and freeze his sperm so we could try IVF. I went through countless hormone injections alone, my abdomen covered in needle marks. The side effects left me twenty pounds lighter in just a month, and when Jeffery saw me, he called me disgusting.I controlled my diet, religiously took the prescribed medications, and even choked down all the bizarre supplements his mother forced on me—all in an effort to have a baby with him.While I was doing everything I could to conceive, Jeffery was out having the time of his life.What he didn’t know was that the reason we hadn’t had children all these years wasn’t because of me—it was because of him. Jeffery had been diagnosed with low sperm count.But his ego was too fragile and his pride too big, so I hid the te

“Who—who are you? How do you have this video?” Stanley put on an innocent face, but his eyes were full of mischief.“A while back, Miss Garcia brought her car in for maintenance. I noticed the dash cam memory was full, so I kindly took the liberty of clearing it up.“As for the video, I made a copy at Miss Garcia’s request, just in case it would be needed later.“And look at that, we ended up using it today. Isn’t that right, Miss Garcia?”“Yes, thanks to you, Stan. Otherwise, I would have missed out on this fantastic little ‘pregnancy play’ performance.”I immediately played along, winking at Stanley in gratitude.“So, Jeffery, I guess there’s no need to prove whether or not the person in the video is you, right?“You’ve got some nerve, taking my car out for your little escapades!”I sneered at Jeffery.“And what about this idiot mechanic?” Jeffery fumed. “He violated customer privacy. Isn’t that a crime?”Stanley just smirked and replied, “Sorry, checking the dash cam is

Things spiraled out of control for Dona. Not only did she lose the baby because of Jeffery’s abuse, but when her boyfriend found out about her affair, he broke up with her and cut all ties.Now, Dona has lost the ability to have children, and her boyfriend is gone. Everywhere she goes, people whisper and point at her.The stress and humiliation took a toll on her mind. Unable to take care of herself, her mother had to come all the way from their hometown to bring her back home to recover.I guess this is what they mean when they say you reap what you sow.---After I caught Stanley with that woman, I never went back to his repair shop.But whenever I was lying in bed feeling lonely or using a little toy to keep myself company, it was always Stanley’s rugged, handsome face I imagined.Three months later.I had just returned from grocery shopping and stepped into the elevator when a man wearing a baseball cap and a black mask grabbed me, covering my mouth and nose with his hand.
