Gene helped Melissa to her feet and wrapped his arms around her. Lightly kissing her face, he started to pull away, "Melissa, are you ready for some dinner?" Nodding yes, Gene led her inside the house and upstairs to the master bath. Starting the water, he kissed her again and said he would start the grill and be back in a few minutes. Melissa stepped into the shower and, soaping her breasts, noticed the small bite marks that Gene had left on the top of her breast. Rubbing her breast she thought about the day and how it had unfolded. Running her hands over her body she thought, "This is too good to be true..." and hoped she was wrong'.
Deep in thought, she heard Gene climbing the stairs and waited for him to join her under the warm water; she again thought how much she wanted this to never end. Gene stepped into the shower and immediately took in the view of his partner covered in soapsuds. He picked up the body wash and started cleaning the pool chlorine from his body while Melissa stepped out of the shower and began drying off with a bath towel that was toasty warm, "This guy knows how to treat lady!" Wearing the robe he left on the bed, she went downstairs and waited for him in the great room off the kitchen.
Gene put on a pair of shorts and polo shirt and went down the steps to find his new lover. Spotting her in the great room, he quietly approached her from her blind side and planted a kiss on her neck. Melissa, ever at the ready, reached up, put Gene in a chock hold, and pulled him over the top of the chair and onto the floor. "Okay, I don't guess I will do that again." Gene muttered not expecting a response from his lover / assailant. Moving quickly she put her foot across his exposed throat and took the pose of a trained fighter. "Okay, okay, I give..." Gene shouted as he grabbed her foot and threw her backwards on to the couch. Melissa relaxed and put her arms out and took Gene into her arms. Looking into his eyes she said, "Truce?" Gene thought to himself, "Test 4 passed!"
Gene kissed her and went to the refrigerator. He pulled the steaks that the maid had put into a special marinade that Gene stole from a ship's cook when he was diving in the Caribbean. Motioning her to join him, he went outside to the grill that was now at the perfect temperature for grilling meat. Arranging the meat he added the veggies, which the maid had also prepped for him then turned his attention to Melissa. She was sitting on a lounger, sipping a glass of merlot. "How would you like your steak?" Melissa answered, "Like any red-blooded Marine, rare!" Gene again thought to himself, "Test 5 passed!"
Gene speared the food and placed it on the plates. They moved to a table next to the pool where they could eat more comfortably, Gene refilled their glasses with the merlot and looked to Melissa, "What do we need to do tomorrow?"
"Well, I need to drop off the things for the seamstress to adapt with the bugs, finish my check in with the prescient or is that OBE, (overcome by events) and eventually I need to touch base with my folks. Is that permissible?" "Tell me about them." Gene responded as he stuck a piece of perfectly grilled steak into his mouth.
"My dad retired from the Corps, as a colonel at Special Operations Command and my Mom taught school but then became the proverbial "June Cleaver" housewife, why?" Trying not to show any emotion or give away what he was thinking Gene put it together; the Corps, Melissa's last name, and her attitude. Melissa was the daughter of his battalion commander when the Corps recalled him. The Colonel was in Gene's eyes one of the most professional special operators he had worked with; smart, a leader, and not about to send his Marines on stupid missions! There had been a disagreement between the Colonel and an Army general, Gene figured the incident had likely cost the Colonel his chance to make general but probably saved Gene's team. Gene thought to himself, "Damn and I have been sleeping with his daughter!" Gene responded to Melissa, "Yeah just tell him it is "close hold" and not to tell anyone that might call looking for you, okay? He will understand."
Not long after the sun settled over the horizon, the evening cooled. Melissa asked, "Are you taking me home or am I here for the night?"
"Ladies choice." Gene replied, hoping that she would stay since he would enjoy her in his bed but also after a few merlots, he didn't really want to drive.
