He dipped a full can of Skoal per day.
Ajax gratefully became the estate's new groundskeeper, while his new wife, Shirley, continued to run the house and willingly offered herself up as a living sperm depository for Ajax' throbbing need. Her big tits wobbled... everywhere.
But Dean had a new wife too: Arianne. It was a wonderful life by both of their standards. Dean got laid or got his dick sucked whenever he pleased, and Arianne had her man. The true heart was enough, in fact. Now that Dean was back with her, she kicked her drug habit without a hitch. But Arianne's drug habit wasn't the only thing that was kicked.
Arianne's
ass
 was kicked just as thoroughly. Some women liked it rough, and this skinny little tramp was the epitome of the notion. It was a woman's secret, of course: a man's love was never proven until he demonstrated the promptitude with which he was willing to slap the snot out of the woman he adored.
"Where's my beer, bitch?" Dean demanded on a lazy summer day when the sun was high and the grasslands of his lucrative ranch swayed deep-green in the northern breeze. He was watching a Yankees game on the television.
"Your beer's in the fuckin' refrigerator, dick-shit," she replied. "What am I? Your fuckin' maid?"
Dean got up and punched her hard in the mouth. The sound of the wet
smack
 echoed about the mansion.
Arianne blinked out the stars, got her husband's beer, and brought it to him. She even opened it for him, then cuddled up close to his strong warm body and smiled with blood smearing her lips.
"I love you, baby," she whispered and kissed him on the cheek. The kiss left a print of blood.
"Yeah, yeah," he replied and swigged his beer. "Let me watch my game. Clemens is pitching."
She hugged him tight, then dozed comfortably against his muscled shoulder.
No, life couldn't be more perfect.
And standing in the cluttered dark, in a disused coat closet in the foyer, was the rusting pair of horn-crankers.
They would never be picked up again.
