Ch 4
It had been months since Linda had been at the house and met Jennifer. Okay, it had only been a little over two weeks, but it sure as hell felt like months. I'd managed to keep a lid on the secret of who Linda was, though Eddie was like a bloodhound, trying everything she knew, including flashing me one of her tits and offering to completely strip and fuck me, if I'd just tell her who the mysterious Linda was. It was almost painful to watch how hard she was trying to solve this puzzle. Linda also found it amusing, fortunately. But I just kept to my story that I didn't know. All I knew was Linda. Eddie is smart, or she wouldn't be my deputy in the station, but she didn't know when to quit, at least about this.
Yeah, I did miss Linda horribly, but I was learning to deal with it. It was a different kind of missing than what I felt for Grace, but I was also learning that missing Grace didn't have to be the end of my world. Of course the multiple phone calls a day helped. I had gotten Linda to cut those down on my shift days to one, and also to make sure she understood that if I didn't answer, it wasn't because I didn't want to talk, but couldn't. That unfortunately happened more times than not on shift days, we were, after all, a pretty busy fire station. On off days it was another matter. I was more than happy to set aside whatever I was doing to talk when she called. Usually, she called me during the day when she had a break or was traveling some place and I called her just before I called it a night, each of us giving each other wishes for a pleasant night's sleep and dreams filled with each other. I had to admit, she had my dreams filled quite often, especially when we said goodnight over face time, usually naked. But that also fed the longing to sleep with her again. Not so much for the sex, but just to hold her in my arms all night.
"So, if we push the SCBA certification down a few shifts, we can sneak that new bio training in right up here," Eddie said, reaching to my tablet and dragging her finger, and the icon for the certification training, down the calendar.
"Yeah. But that pushes back the PT test. You know they want that done by the end of the month."
"There's just too much in the schedule. All it's going to take is one big call and the whole thing falls apart. We gotta build more flex days in," Eddie said with a frown. "Can't you get the head shed to back off on a few of these?"
"Hey Chief!" Ricky said as he stuck his head in my office door. "You got visitors!"
"Visitors?" I asked, looking up, my mood meter jetting instantly from irritated to happy at the sight of Linda through the glass windows of my office. I got up and moved towards the door even faster than I did when there was a call, reaching out to wrap my arms around her as she walked in through the door. She almost launched herself against me, wrapping her arms around my neck as I pulled her into me, her cheek pressing to mine for several seconds before she pulled her head back to press her lips to mine. The kiss was forceful and urgent at first, slowly softening to sweet and loving over the nearly thirty second long embrace. "Oh God you feel good," I whispered as we broke the kiss and I let her put her weight down on her own feet. I could hear the guys in the bay whistling and calling as we embraced.
"You too. God, I missed you so much," she whispered back.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I loosened my grip on her a bit more.
"Surprise!" she said with a wide smile.
"Boss? This is Linda?" Eddie asked from where she sat back in the chair next to my desk, a look of shock on her face, something that was extremely difficult to put there.
"Yeah. Eddie, Linda. Linda, Eddie. Oh yeah. This is um, Madison," I said motioning to the brunette that I'd met at the ski lodge with Linda.
"Eddie! So nice to meet you. Gene has told me so much about you," Linda said sweetly, gently pulling from my arms and smoothing the simple yellow sundress down as she did.
"All good I hope," Eddie replied, standing up and reaching out to take Linda's offered hand.
"Well almost. All except a few not so subtle attempts to bribe him with sex to reveal who I am."
I saw Eddie blush, something else I'd NEVER seen her do before. "Yeah. It was just playful. I wouldn't really do it."
"I know. So did Gene," she said without the smile leaving her face.
"So, what are you doing here? I thought you two were headed to Hawaii?" I asked a little confused.
"I am. But not without you," Linda said, turning back to me, her face still smiling almost as large as I'd ever seen.
"Me? I can't leave. My shift isn't over until tomorrow morning," I protested automatically.
"Actually, you're on vacation for the next four days. According to your, um, battalion commander?"
"My Battalion chief?" I asked, definitely confused.
"Yes. That's it. Battalion chief. Anyway, according to your boss, you have tons of unused vacation and he couldn't wait to authorize you a few days, especially after I suggested that he could pick anything in my line for his wife."
"You bribed the battalion Chief to get me off?" I asked, looking at her in shock.
"Oh, I wouldn't call it a bribe. He was falling all over himself to be helpful once he recognized me. The gift was to seal the deal. I wasn't taking any chances on him saying no."
"I still don't understand."
"It's simple," she said quietly, barely above a whisper as she stepped back in front of me, her breasts nearly touching the back of her hands as she rested both hands on my chest. "If we're going to move forward, I think you need to know what it is I do, exactly. I know you said you don't care, but what I do isn't always easy for men to accept. This is a more private photo shoot than a lot, but...I wanted you to see. I want you to know what it is you're getting yourself into."
"That settles it. You ARE Linda Cowel!" Eddie said with a huge grin. "Jesus. Gene! You're dating a famous super model!"
"Yeah. I know Eddie," I admitted.
"And you wouldn't tell us?"
"Hell no! You think I'd ever live it down?"
"Not hardly," she said with a smile.
"Oh. This is for you," Linda said, turning to take a small, wrapped package from Madison. She held it out to Eddie, who took it. "It's okay. I promise, it doesn't explode or anything."
"Uh. Yeah," Eddie said a little awkwardly, unwrapping the present tentatively. She opened the small box and pulled out a set of the red panty and bra that Linda had designed. "Are these?"
"Yes. The same. Gene told me you like to wear sexy things for your husband. I thought he might appreciate you wearing an LC original. I had to guess on the size based on Gene's description, so if it's wrong, let me know and I'll happy send you the right size."
"Oh no. These look just fine. My husband definitely will enjoy this!" she answered.
"Good. So, Gene, should we go? We have a plane to catch in less than two hours."
"Go where? Hawaii? You were serious?"
"Of course. I was serious."
"Uh. I don't have anything packed," I protested.
She gave me a crooked little grin. "Trust me, you won't need much. I plan on keeping you naked most of the trip! But just the same, I have a change of clothes for you in the car." Then she leaned a little closer to me. "It's a half hour to the airport and I'm not wearing anything under this dress. Can you think of anything we can do in half an hour?" she asked, her face breaking into another grin.
I couldn't help but blush as Eddie stepped over and pushed my back. "Jesus Boss! You gonna pass up an invitation like that? Get the hell out of here! You got a date with the most spectacular woman in the world, literally, and you're arguing you don't have anything to wear. Sometimes I wonder about you boss!"
"Yeah. Okay," I answered, walking through the door with Linda, her arm sliding around my waist to pull herself against me as we walked to the front pad with Madison following close behind, a fairly long limo waiting for us there. The driver opened the door and we ducked in, the door closing behind us.
"Come on. Let's get you out of that uniform," Linda said, moving to kneel on the floor of the limo, her hands reaching to my shirt.
"Here? In front of Madison?" I asked, grabbing her hand and stopping her from undressing me.
"Well. First off, you can't get changed without taking your clothes off. Second, right now I'd fuck you on a street corner I'm so fucking horny for you. Third, you're gonna see her naked tomorrow anyway, so it's only fair, right? And lastly, she's seen me fucking before."
"Okay. If you insist."
"Linda said you were bashful," Madison said from the seat where she was watching the two of us. "So maybe this will help," she said as she began undoing the long row of buttons down the front of her dress.
