Boomtown (10 page)

  “Stop what?” he said while thrusting wildly up into me yanking my hips down. 

  “Having unprotected sex.  I’m not on birth control. “I said

   “I’ll pull out.” He said, but didn’t stop.  Instead, he rolled us so that he was on top, never breaking his rhythm.  Each stroke of his cock seemed to hit a hidden part in me that shot sparks down my spine. He kept hitting that spot until suddenly I exploded.  I clenched my eyes shut, threw my head back and bowed my back as my orgasm ripped through me.  He kept up the brutal rhythm until I felt him stiffen, and pull out of my body.  He took himself in hand, and I felt warm wet splashes hit me on my chest and breasts, just before he collapsed on top of me, squishing the wetness into me with his body. 

  My limbs felt like limp noodles, so I just laid there and said, “Your little soldiers are probably storming my castle as we speak.  I’m so fucking screwed.” 

“Then we’ll have deal with it.” He said still on top of me, his cock slowly shrinking inside me. “But I pulled out, so there isn’t that much of a chance.  I’ll wear a condom from now on.” 

  I stiffened and said, “What do you mean by deal with it? I will not get rid of a baby.  You can just go fuck yourself if you think that I would do that.” 

  He leaned up on his elbows, taking his weight off of me and said, “Settle.  I meant that if a baby comes, then a baby comes.  Not that I wanted you to get rid of it.” 

  My body slowly started to unlock, and I looked up to him and said heatedly, “Condoms. From now on.” 

  “What the fuck do normal people do when they have sex without a condom? I don’t want to have to wash my sheets every time we have sex.” I said, noticing the stickiness on me. 

  “Hell if I know, I’ve never done it without a condom before.” 

  “Maybe I should Google it.  I’ll let you know what it says.  Although I'm not condoning the fact that you didn’t use a condom.  This can only lead one way and I’m not ready for a baby.” I said getting a little mad now. “I want to finish school.  And that is pretty hard to do with Janie; what the hell would I do with a little baby?  I’d have to drop out!” I said, my voice getting higher and higher. 

  “Calm down. You won’t be alone.” He said soothingly. 

  “You calm down.  What are you going to do, I have no proof that you will actually be there! You could decide tomorrow that you don’t want to be with me anymore because my life is a freakin’ mess.  Then I’d be all alone.” 

  “First of all, I will not leave you.  And it pisses me off to that you think that I’m the type of man who would leave when the going gets tough.  I won’t leave, so get that out of your head.” 

  Well, guess that answered one of my concerns.  But the main one, which was a baby, was not answered.  God, a baby would not be good right now. 

  “I don’t want anything between us, but from now on I will wear one, until you can get on the pill.”  He said while rolling off of me to the other side of the bed.  He hooked me around the waist and pulled me into his side.  I kept my back to him, not really knowing how to reply to that.  In the back of my mind I was a little excited.  But common sense won out. 

 I said into the darkness, “We don’t even know each other, nor are we even together officially.” 

  “Woman,” he growled into my ear, “You were mine before we even left the bar.  I saw you walk in and knew right then and there that you were going to be mine.” 

  I got a little spark in my belly, and smiled, but I didn’t let him know that what he said made me feel good inside. 

  “Whatever.  I’m going back to sleep.  Stop talking.”

  The whole bed was shaking with his laughter, but I didn’t say anything else to him.  I drifted off to him spooning me from behind, thinking that I could really get used to this. 

Chapter 6

  Lips ran down my arm, then up again trailing across my neck to my lips.  I blinked my eyes open and smiled at Sam.  He was fully dressed, sitting on the side leaning over my body with his hand fisted on the other side of me trapping me in. 

  “I gotta get to work, babe.” 

  “Okay, what time is it?” 

  “Quarter till six.” He answered “You have a little more time to sleep.  Come see me today if you have some time.” He kissed me on the back of my head and lightly patted my butt.   

  “Mmmk.” I murmured, already slipping back into the fog.  I was not a morning person.  His hand rested on my cheek for a time, but I didn’t open my eyes again, and was asleep again shortly after.   

  My eyes opened when I heard banging coming from the direction of Janie’s room.  I threw the covers off and headed in her direction, that is until I realized that I was naked and needed a shower.  So I rinsed off in the shower, and then threw on black matching sports bra and panties, black yoga pants, and a hot pink stretchy V-necked shirt. I stepped over Chewy as I headed out my bedroom door to get Janie.  Janie was a morning person.  She would wake at the crack of dawn if I let her. If my mom was here, she would have gotten up with her over an hour ago, but I liked my sleep, and Janie played well in her crib until I finally hauled my ass out of bed. 

  Janie let a happy cry out when she saw me and started using her mattress as a trampoline.  I lifted her out of the crib, changed her diaper, and headed to the kitchen.  I got her a sippy cup of milk, and set her down so she could play.  Thank God it was Saturday, it had been a tough week, and I needed some down time. 

  I walked outside with Chewy when he went to the bathroom to water mom’s Potato plants.  I saw Mrs. Kowalsky outside watering her plants as well. We exchanged greetings, and I headed back inside checking on Janie, then heading into my room to get dressed.   

  I dressed in a pair of short blue jean shorts, an old high school t-shirt, and my tennis shoes.  Walking into the bathroom I twisted my hair up into a messy knot on the top of my head, swished on some deodorant that smelled like baby powder and exited the bathroom.  I snatched Janie off the floor in the living room where she was pouring out lucky charms onto the coffee table and headed into her bedroom to get her dressed. 

  I dressed her in about the same as I was wearing, because I had the philosophy that babies should be comfortable too, and dresses blew. I wasn’t putting her in a dress, even though my mom bought a gazillion of them.  James and I thought it was hilarious that we dressed her so comfortably, and mom hated it with a passion.  I at least dressed her in clothes that matched and did her hair nicely.  James never did her hair, and was lucky to put two things on that matched. 

  Today I dressed her in tight black Capri leggings, and a shirt that said, “I love my auntie.”  Of course, I was partial to it because I bought it for her.  I put new squeaker shoes on her, and decided to tape a video of it to send to James since he despised them and tried to throw them away every chance he got. 

  Janie and I ran errands for most of the morning, hitting the grocery store first to drop them back at the house.  After that we went to Target so I could get a few new pairs of workout pants since all of mine seemed to be worn out from over use.  Although, the overuse wasn’t from working out, it was from wearing them as much as just wearing them in general.  I liked how they made my ass look, and sucked in my fat. 

  Janie fell asleep around noon, so I decided that now would be a good time to visit with Sam.  I picked up tacos after getting the order from Sam. 

  “Hey, is it all right if I come by the shop?” I asked him 

  “Yes, why wouldn’t it be ok?  Have you eaten yet?” he said in reply.

  “No, I was thinking about getting tacos.  Do you want anything?” 

  “Yea, just get me whatever you are getting times two.”  He answered. 

  “Alright, I’ll be there in a little bit.” I said to him before hanging up. 

   I ordered our lunch, and then headed to Free. 

   I happened to look into my rear view mirror and see a red compact following me, but didn’t think much of it until she turned down Second St. which was the fourth turn that I had noticed them taking with me. 

  I pulled into Free and the car passed by, but I still had an uneasy feeling so I decided to tell Sam anyway.  I drove up close to the bay doors and hopped out leaving it idling.  I walked up to Max since he was the first one I spotted and said, “Is it alright if I pull the truck in? Janie is sleeping and I don’t want to take her out, but I want to have some shade over here so it’s easier for her to sleep.”  

  “Yea, just pull in here, there’s plenty of room.” He said. 

  I nodded then pulled into the garage and shut the truck off.  About that time Sam came out from the office with his phone to his ear.  He sounded like he was arguing with someone, so I waited until he was through to go to him.  He wrapped me up in a hug and I leaned my head against his chest breathing in deeply. Gosh he sure did smell good.  Like fresh detergent, and some man body wash.  I took another sniff thinking I needed to steal one of his t-shirts after he wore it all day. 

  “Are you sniffing me?” he rumbled out. 

  “You know that Febreeze commercial, the one where the people are playing charades and the guy is lying on the floor, and the people are trying to guess what he is?” I said to him.

  “No.   Don’t watch much TV.” He told me. 

  “Well, in the commercial he is sniffing the carpet, and he smells so good. He just stays there, and keeps sniffing, all the while the people around him are shouting out their guesses.  Well that’s what I feel like doing to you right now.  You smell so good.  I need to see if they make a candle of the way you smell.” I said distractedly while still smelling him.

  “Weirdo.” He said but didn’t make me stop. 

  “Yes, this is one of the more normal things that I do.  Just you wait.” I smiled and said. 

  “I will wait with bated breath.” 

  “I also like the smell that comes out of the air conditioner just after you start the truck.”  I said.

  “What smell? There is no smell.” He asked. 

  “There is too!  I’ll point it out to you next time!  MAX!” I yelled

  Max came out of the office and said, “What?”

  “Tell Sam that there is a smell that comes out of the air conditioner right after you start the truck.”

  “Please God, not this argument again. Listen Sam, just say that there is.  She and Ember argue about this at the beginning of every summer.  It also gets physical.  There is hair pulling, and name calling.  It really isn’t worth it.  Just say that there is.” He said rather emphatically. 

  “You can suck it, Max.” I said turning around to stomp off, but a hand came around me and pulled me roughly into a hard body. 

  “No one sucks you but me.” He growled into my ear.

  I shivered and turned in his arms to give him a kiss.  Then I remembered the red car. 

  “Ummm, on the way here there was a red car following me.” I said gently. 

  “Yes, I know.  Jack already reported it.  We will run the plates when Elliott calls us back.” He said, but before I could ask why he would already know, his phone rang.  He answered while grabbing my hand and pulling me into the office.  Sam spoke for quite a while in between bites of tacos.  I ate mine, and glanced through the office window to the truck to make sure Janie wasn’t awake every couple of minutes or so.  After about twenty minutes, I forgot about wanting to ask him about how he already knew, and instead focused on playing angry Birds on my phone.  

  His phone call ended about an hour after I arrived.  I was reading a new erotic romance novel by that time.  When I had looked up earlier, he was sorting through some papers at his desk, but not even two seconds later I noticed him reading over my shoulder.  I didn’t actually realize this; otherwise I would have closed the book because I was in a particular steamy scene with two couples having sex.  While in the throes of some steamy sex, the hero was asking the heroine if she had ever had anal sex, and I started squirming in my seat.   

  “Do you want to do this?” Sam asked from close behind my right shoulder.  

  I squeaked and spun around in the chair to see Sam squatted down beside my chair just enough that he could read what I was reading.   My face flamed and I just stared at him in shock. 

  Finally able to find my wits, I said “Want to do what?” 

  “What that couple was about to do in that scene.  Is that something that interests you?” he asked a different way. 

  I thought for a couple minutes about what he was asking.  Was I interested in that?  I sure didn’t mind reading about it, but actually doing it?  Who the hell knows? 

  “Umm…..I don’t really know.  You are the sum of my sexual experience.  I really wouldn’t know until we tried.” I finally admitted. 

  “I’ll keep that in mind.” He said while grabbing my hand and pulling me into the shop. 

 We eventually wondered over to the bike that he was working on, and I sat on the seat while he worked on what looked like the engine.  Most likely I was in his way, but that didn’t seem to bother him.   

  I was asking him about what he was doing when Janie woke up with a wail.  I moved to get up when Max came from somewhere on the other side of my truck and got her out.  I walked to the office to get the taco that we’d saved for her, and walked back out to Janie and handed it to her. 

  We all laughed when she bit into it and it fell to pieces, luckily she was on top of the tool box with a napkin spread out to catch any stray pieces.  She ate the entire thing in less than two minutes, so I went to the truck to get her juice and a snack that had gotten at Target earlier. 

  I was eyeing a little VW Bug that he had in the corner. 

  “Does that have a 5-speed in it?” I asked. 

  “Yes.  Why do you ask?” Sam said distractedly. 

  “Well I was going to ask if I could drive it, but since it’s a 5-speed I can’t.” I answered. 

  “Why can’t you?”

  “I don’t know how to drive one.”

  “What do you mean you don’t know how to drive a 5-speed?  You’ve been working on cars since you were twelve you said.” Sam said.

  “James got frustrated with me, and never finished teaching me.  He said I was a bad learner and I needed to find someone else to teach me.” I confided.
