“
Well I guess it’s time we brought you up to date,”
Through the
back of the warehouse was a large industrial kitchen, but it had
been made homely by Chuck and his wife Mathilda. She was a thin,
ethereal blonde with a doll’s face peppered with freckles and a
penchant for the rockabilly style. She brought plates of food over
to the table as she smiled through her vivid red lipstick.
“
Here you go guys! Vegan lasagne and gluten free bread rolls,”
and she sashayed away.
her plate and realized how hungry she was. She hadn’t eaten a
proper meal in days and she dug her fork in eagerly.
“
You OK baby?” Carl asked as he ran a finger through her
hair.
she chewed and Carl thought she looked beautiful despite her cheeks
becoming fat as she stuffed them with bread.
“
So,” he continued. “I think it’s time I officially introduce
you to Chuck. This guy here is one of my best buddies,” Carl
outstretched an arm to his friend. “Known him since my old Navy
training days,”
“
Yup! Except I was never cut out for a life in the military,”
Chuck chuckled as he mopped up sauce with a piece of
bread.
“
So what did you do instead?” Anna asked.
awkward silence across the table before finally Mathilda sat down
and answered.
“
He illegally prints an anti-government conspiracy magazine.
Don’t you sweetheart?” she kissed him on the cheek and he
blushed.
sure she heard right and stared blankly at Carl for more of an
answer.
“
What’s an anti-government conspiracy?” she eventually
asked.
“
Hey, it’s not as dirty as it sounds,” Chuck interjected. “I
mainly write about aliens, the moon landing hoax, hybrid
human-animal creations you know, stuff like that.
know what he was talking about and asked, “What moon landing hoax?
And how is that ‘illegal’?”
“
Oh God, don’t get him started,” Carl smacked his old friend on
the back.
“
So what are
we
doing here? I mean, no offence Chuck,” and she looked to her
plate nervously.
“
Well this good man has a side business and is somewhat of a
master of printing,”
“
Well if you say so,” Chuck winked. “But yeah I can print
anything you can think of. And I think I can guess what you’re
looking for……Hmmmm… Would it be ID by any chance?”
“
Bingo,” laughed Carl.
“
But why? What’s going on?”
“
I won’t bore you with the details,” Carl began. “But we need
my… friend over the border in the next twenty four hours and she
doesn’t have a passport,”
“
Ooohh bummer,” smiled Chuck. “But yeah, that’s no bother.
Anything for a friend,”
Dinner passed
slowly with the two men regaling the girls with tales of their Navy
days. But after a while Anna started to feel her eyelids grow
heavy. A clock on the kitchen wall read midnight and more than
anything she wanted to go to bed. She looked around behind her into
the warehouse and couldn’t imagine where the couple slept.
“
You tired sweetheart?” Carl placed a hand affectionately on
her back and rubbed her gently.
“
Urgh… yeah,” Anna yawned and rubbed her eyes.
“
Well I’ll show you where you can stay,” Chuck stood up to
clear the table. “Just give me two minutes,” and the eccentric
couple disappeared over to the sink.
and Carl shuffled back into the warehouse area and found a dark
corner.
“
I don’t like this,” Anna fumed once again. “What the hell is
going on? You knew we were coming here the whole time didn’t you?”
she pushed him in the chest.
“
Woah, calm down,” he held her by the shoulders. “Don’t get all
worked up. I had an idea that perhaps he could help us out if we
ever got to San Antonio. I promise. I wasn’t conspiring against you
or something like that. He’s here to help us. He’ll get you a
passport,”
“
He’s a freakin’ wackjob Carl…and a vegan. Plus he runs an
underground, illegal alien magazine. That’s completely insane,”
Anna felt as though she was about to tear out her hair.
“
Look I can understand that you’re on edge. You’re tired,
stressed, terrified I get it ok. But we’ll be outta here in the
morning and on our way. I’m here for you, you know that?” he held
her under her chin and lifted her face to look him in the
eye.
sheepishly.
“
Yeah I know,” she sighed.
weakly, “It’s just to get you a passport, then we’re done,”
“
I dunno. There’s still something that’s really creeping me
out. How do you know this guy? And why does he owe you a
favour?”
“
I told you, we trained together. Well… there’s something else
but I’ll wait until we’re in bed until I tell you,”
“
And where exactly is this bed?”
again and leaned against the wall. Despite the mild temperature the
building felt cold and damp. She’d never wanted out of anywhere so
much in a long time. Why did a married couple live in a converted
warehouse. Something just seemed so crazy. And Chuck… she imagined
him going to sleep wearing a tin hat.
“
Hey guys, hiding in dark corners I see. That’s the spirit!”
Chuck laughed heartily as he found them. “Now let me show you to
your room,” he gestured with his hand for them to follow
him.
them to a flight of stairs that looked as though it plummeted into
total darkness.
“
I’m not going down there,” Anna was adamant.
“
I promise it’s not as bad as you think,” Chuck grinned as
though he were onto a great secret.
her hand and dragged her down the stairs as Chuck lit the way with
a torch. Once they reached the bottom they found themselves in the
entrance to a vast, echoic basement. It looked like a scene from a
horror film and came complete with the sound of indeterminate
dripping.
“
What is
this
place?” she grimaced.
“
Ah this is just for storage. But don’t worry it’s not where
you’re sleeping,”
jogged about forty feet into the center of the basement before
resting over a manhole cover. He bent down and pulled a screwdriver
out his back pocket. Unscrewing the cover carefully he placed the
screws in his back pocket and lifted off the lid.
“
We’re not sleeping in a sewer are we?” Anna asked
aghast.
“
Don’t worry, there’s no alligators down here,” Chuck smirked
at Carl.
“
Come on,” Carl whispered.
down into the manhole she was surprised to see there was no sewer.
But rather what looked like a fairly ordinary room. Chuck bent down
again and reached his hand under. Reaching a light switch he
illuminated the room and Anna and Carl gasped as they were
confronted with a beautiful bedroom.
“
Ladies first,” Chuck ushered Anna down the ladder.
“
Hey this is great!” she beamed up at Carl.
around and couldn’t believe that such a place existed. The room
must have been about twenty feet long and came complete with a four
poster bed, a mini bar, a large television and several computers.
Pushing open a door at the end of the room Anna saw a bathroom that
was as pristine and white as the one in their penthouse in
Austin.
“
This place is like a spa,” she giggled to Carl as he jumped
down.
“
Wow, I wonder what your own bedroom looks like if this is for
guests,” Carl looked to his friend.
“
Ah, we have the whole loft space converted. It’s a real
humdinger. But this place is just in case we get tipped off you
know,”
“
Sure thing,” Carl nodded albeit with a sceptical look on his
face.
“
Anyway I’ll leave you to it,” and Chuck disappeared up the
ladder. “If you need me just ring the bell in the
corner,”
looked over to see a big, black box housing an oversized red
button. Anna thought if she punched it a superhero might turn
up.
“
It leads to the loft,” Chuck explained. “Anyway, see you in
the morning and we’ll get that passport sorted. That’s when the
printing presses are up and running. Anyway, you kids stay
safe,”
the couple were alone.
“
This is…. Crazy,” Anna jumped into Carl’s arms now they had
their privacy.
“
Sure is. I bet you’re glad my plan worked after all ain’t
ya?”
“
Well….. I guess,” she laughed and bit her lip.
the bed she jokingly pulled all the curtains closed so she was
encased.
“
Hey,” Carl pulled one back and jumped in after her. “This is
kinda sexy ain’t it? Enveloped in a four poster bed, just you and
me hidden away somewhere safe for once.

“
It’s the most romantic thing ever,” and she leaned back to run
her hand across the bed’s curtains.
dark, red velvet and felt so soft she wanted to rub them across her
face. Flinging herself back on the bed she felt how comfortable it
was, so soft and big. She wondered why Chuck needed such a
luxurious bed.
“
So I believe you have a story to tell me,” she traced her
fingers along the side of Carl’s leg and he leaned over
closer.
“
I do,” he held her hand and moved it to his groin.
hard and he breathed heavily as she cupped him in her hand.
“
Urrhhhhh…. I could just devour you right now,” he leaned in
and kissed her biting at her lip playfully.
“
But aren’t you going to tell me how you know
Chuck?”
“
Can’t I kiss you some more?”
“
No Carl,”
“
Fine,” he pulled away. “For a very short while I worked in a
special forces unit. Chuck and I were close at the time but he
eventually got discharged long before I did. That’s it,”
“
But special forces? What’s that?”
“
I can’t tell you. Or rather I might tell you some other
time,”
“
Carl! I wanna know more. So you guys met in like… a
super-secret spy job?”

hardness onto her and pinned her arms behind her head.
“
If I fuck you, will you stop asking questions?” he
smiled.

and she rose her hips up to meet his. Breathing heavily she held
her lips close to his and whispered.
“
I’d do anything for you,” she whispered.
tongue into her mouth gently and felt her yield to his touch.
Reaching his hand down, he pulled back the top of her shirt and let
a nipple pop out. Holding it in his fingers he rubbed it firmly and
felt it go hard in his hand. Sucking on it he longed to taste every
part of her body and he pulled away to tear her clothes off.
Exposing her
breasts as he lifted off her top he grabbed them hard and held them
to his face as he licked hungrily at her. Anna loved watching him
so turned on, the way he moved and the way he gasped as he wanted
more of her.
Spreading her
legs for him she placed her fingers on her clitoris and was
surprised to feel how wet she was. Rubbing herself in small circles
she made a little gasp that sounded like a whimper as she felt the
start of pleasure throb inside her.
“
Is that good? You like that?” Carl asked as he unzipped his
jeans.
down to reveal his penis that stood so erect it reached up passed
his belly button. Gripping it firmly he began to pump it into his
closed hand with his hips moving steadily. Even though he was
pleasuring himself it had never felt to intense as he kept his eyes
on Anna who’s fingers were moving slowly.
She felt
herself opening up to him as she ground herself on her hand. More
than anything she wanted to feel him inside her. But as they looked
into each other’s eyes there seemed to be an unspoken agreement as
if they knew to hold off.
“
I know how much you love to be teased,” Anna winked as she bit
her lip harder.
“
Oh yeah…. I just love to watch you,” he moved his hand
faster.
minutes he was close to orgasm and he pulled his hand away. He lay
in between Anna’s legs and buried his face in her eagerly. She
screamed as she felt him latch onto her and quivered as she felt
the flick of his tongue. Gripping his hair hard she held onto his
head as it moved quickly up and down. Then Carl began to suck and
pulled at her clitoris with his lips. Feeling as though she’d cum
at any second she pushed his head away.
“
I want us to cum at the same time,” she gasped.
forward and affectionately swept away the loose hair that was
clinging to her forehead. She smiled at him to signify she was
ready and he eased on top of her. Kissing her sweetly he felt her
breath tickle his lips. The warmth from her breasts touched his
chest and he held them tight as he gripped her tighter.
