"Welcome home, honey."
Those were the words that rolled off Shelly's lips when I walked into the terminal office. They sounded sweet as she knew where my heart lay, and I just so happened to have a dozen roses to answer her demeanor, and cause the "faucets to drain" from her senses.
"Wayne, how could you," she asked as I presented her with the flowers.
We could've been considered a couple the way she hugged and kissed me on the cheek, but that was far from the case, as it was simply a matter of a dispatcher and trucker relationship that lasted over the years with vials of trust and dignity. When I broke down in Connecticut, she kept a tab on me. When I was running ragged and wanted to see my kids, she pulled strings with brokers to get me to their living room. When she was in a bind and a driver called out on a load, or broke down in the damndest places, she knew to text me and I'd cancel the issue and solve the freight expeditiously. Seeing this burly, blond grandma with mascara running down her cheeks made my heart melt as it was a reflection of her kind soul, and how she takes care of us hard working drivers.
"You're on my Christmas list again," she belted before the rest of the dispatchers blurted in laughter.
I'd been home a couple days when I walked inside to see what freight was available, and of course bestow upon her my gift.
"Well Fred now has a little competition," she joked of her loving husband," Wherever you want to go honey, you got first dibs."
We hugged again and I waved to all the dispatchers before I walked down the hall to the trucker lounge, intent on checking messages on my phone while getting some free coffee and contemplating my next destination. 30 minutes passed when she'd come to the lounge where me and a couple of other drivers were sitting, tinkering with our phones.
"I've got a load coming out of Lopez, heading to a distributor just outside of Bakersfield. Then I can definitely get you something out of Bakersfield, but you may be doing round trips," she offered.
I wasn't the biggest fan of California, but the pay was always good there, and so I asked her to let me ponder for a few minutes. She walked away smiling, and I eyed the television as an old Price Is Right episode was playing. I grabbed a small packet of trail mix from the nearby snack table, then opened the packet while focusing on Drew Carey before it dawned on me: Rip might've still been living in Bakersfield.
I daydreamed about the muscular, studly Rip, a beastly lover in his mid 30s, who was my first black cock. He was a complete gentleman on the surface, but in bed he showed no mercy in jamming me with that thick muscle as he gave me top tier orgasms to boot. Suddenly "Let's do Bakersfield," I told her as I jumped up and walked quickly down the hall.
"Great. Honey, the only thing is, the load I have going there is a hot one, like hot as in there's a trailer at the door fully loaded at 35,000 lbs., ready for delivery by this Sunday afternoon," she said.
She gave me the paperwork and we hugged, then I waved goodbye to everyone else before I darted outside to my pickup. I went home to shower, pack clean clothes and toiletries, as well as stock up on food items and rest before the trip, waking up a few hours later to message Rip, and see if he was still on the other end.
"Hey man. I just got off my second gig. How have you been," he asked as he called me on the phone.
I was giddy to hear his voice again as it was dwarfed by some high rhythm music in the background.
"I strip part time now," he told me.
"You what," I asked as my mouth was gaped open.
He laughed as he knew I didn't see that coming, and I was even slightly agitated for I didn't necessarily like others seeing "the goods" more frequently than myself. He had to make ends meet and did what he did out of necessity per his explanation, and my attitude changed.
"These thirsty bitches out here pay me to shake my dick around, show a little ass," he added in the next breath.
"Mmmm, is that all they're paying for," I asked.
"I'm not a fan of pussy, unless it's attached to a fat, white guy," he'd respond.
Deep down I knew Rip wasn't down for women, and he quickly changed the tone of the conversation when he would instead expand on how he was trying to meet financial goals for early retirement.
"I'd pay to ride that cock right now," I told him.
"You ain't gotta pay. Get your ass out here so I serve you right," he told me as he had me trembling.
" I'm on my way to Bakersfield," I told him. "I'm gonna be fully loaded, and heading your way tonight. I've gotta deliver in your town Sunday."
"Good, but you ain't been loaded yet," he joked.
He claimed he was in the middle of a drought out there and needed a little playtime.
"You're what the doctor always orders," he said to me.
I explained the itinerary, and told him it would take a couple days coming across I-40 from Oklahoma.
"It'll be worth the wait, man. I loved the way you bounce that booty on me. You can really ride dick," he said to me.
He couldn't say anything wrong as I was rubbing my tits, and pressing my knees together, needing to get dressed and grab my load instead, but so enamored with this man. He turned me out in a way no other guy could, and so I had to end the conversation, and hop in the bathroom for a cold shower, before getting dressed and trucking on.
Just over an hour later, I was hooked up and on I-40, blasting country western tunes while rolling on a nearly empty road as I was heading towards Texas. I felt refreshed, energized, and before I knew it I was in Albuquerque, taking a break at a stop to relieve myself, and get a bite. I'd text Rip to see where his head was.
"Big boy, you had me hyped when you mentioned you were on your way," he told me. "Ain't been rolling in the hay for a minute now."
I became leery of that statement right then as he was a stripper, but above all, Rip was a charmer, with a body women and men could both appreciate, with a fat cock to savor.
"So you probably fucked yesterday," I joked.
"Jack ass, I didn't," he laughed. "And to be completely honest with you, between working, and the heavy load of classes, I ain't been looking. I'm busy."
I believed him as he sounded serious, and I heard the determination in his voice as he didn't talk as much about sex, but more so money moves.
"So I'm telling you now, brace yourself, Daddy Wayne," he said to me. "I plan to turn you every which a way but loose."
