Leaning her forehead against the window, she felt the cool glass calm her, her eyes tracking the form in the yard. For whatever reason, he did not like the riding lawnmower, and instead used an old fashioned push one that he had found in one of the barns. Moving at almost a jog, he went line by line, meticulously cutting her grass. He was cute when he did, stripped down to his shorts and sunglasses. Next, she knew, he would clean the hot tub and the deck, and if she kept up her pace of writing on this paper, the outside of her house would be pressure washed before dinner.
With a sigh, she pulled back, walked around her desk, and dropped down into the chair. A slow gaze circled the room, traipsing across the diploma's she had earned in her life, the prestigious awards she had been given, and pictures of people and places that she valued. He had come in earlier to light the fire in the small fire places, but other than that he rarely entered her office, leaving it for her to work. Even on Saturday's like today. Damn that man and his discipline!
Finally she focused back on the screen, back on the words she should be, needed to be, typing and forced her fingers back to the keyboard. The paper would not write itself, and the grant that she was operating under required certain things by certain dates. There was work to be done!
She heard his footsteps approach, then pass, and she knew he was in the laundry room. She could hear him humming, and then Tiglon went by, followed shortly there after by Liger, who at least stopped in the door to look at his mommy. But then he was past, too, and she heard him walk by again. It was a strange game he played, putting treats in his pockets, leading the cats to follow him all over the place as they tried to figure out what smelled so good. But it kept them occupied and prevented them from bothering her, which was the point. But she wanted to follow him around, as well.
"I should get it out of my system." She realized that she was talking to herself, and sat back. Like an addict, she told herself. If she gave in, that would not help her at all. He might refuse her anyway, as she had made him promise to, to make herself work. Maybe she should just not let him come over, she thought. But that would require saying no to the hottest man alive, and she doubted her will power.
Standing, she softly tipsy toed out into the hallway, and looked out into the kitchen. He was standing in the pantry, back to her, digging through cans, and she silently approached, wrapping her arms around him.
"Hey baby." His hands reached down, enveloping her, and she smelled the freshly cut grass and the chemicals on him. Combined with his own scent, it was intoxicating.
"I'm weak."
"I know you are. You need your stud to take the pressure off?"
"Please, please, please!" She was surprised by the fact that she was begging, and he wasn't even doing anything to her. His hold on her was incredibly powerful, and when he turned and lifted her onto the counter, she could not help but smile at the evil grin on his face.
"You know what you do to me, don't you?"
"Yes. And I love it." He kissed her, long and hard, then pulled her shorts down, and dove into her pussy. She screamed, unable to help herself, as he sucked her clit into his mouth, and assaulted her pussy with his tongue, wave after wave of pleasure shooting up her spine, her body and mind reeling under the feeling he always gave her.
He was relentless, his tongue lashing her, driving into her as his hands were all over her, her ass, her face, her tits, groping, fondling, touching, exploring. Sucking her pussy, licking it, nibbling on it, devouring it, he made her cum over and over, her whole body shaking, everything else blocked out but the intense feeling of pleasure she was enjoying.
So when he stopped, she was surprised, sitting up to look into his eyes as he pulled her against him, shielding her from whatever was behind him. "There is somebody at the side door."
"Huh?" Her mind was not yet fully back on-line, and she only realized that play time was over when he pulled her shorts back up, then moved past the pantry to the door, and she heard it opening.
Angie walked in, with Traci in tow. "Somebody is looking for you. Bad moment?"
Jennifer smiled, trying her best to catch her breath surreptiously, wondering what the hell the woman could want here. "You go to the wrong house?"
"Apparently so. Markus told me I could find David at the horse farm, but they told me to come over here, but I guess I were not sure on the directions." Traci smiled at Angie, who was beaming with self-satisfaction, while trying hard to not get caught ogling David muscles as he moved back around the kitchen and took Jennifer in his arms.
"I thought we were going to meet tomorrow."
"I'm in a rush to wrap this up, it appears now that another company is making a bid for the development, and I want to be back in Charleston tonight to have it ready to present tomorrow." The woman was still smiling, but there was something deceitful about it, at least to Jennifer.
"Ok, let's talk." He indicated the front door, and the two walked outside, sitting on the steps. Jennifer could see them through the glass next to and in the door, and could see them both gesticulating, talking with their hands. Then she laughed, and touched his still naked shoulder, a move she thought WAY unnecessary.
"Young men...so gorgeous."
"Huh?"
"I said he's gorgeous. You ever get jealous when you see him at the stables with other women?"
"A little bit. He smiles and is friendly, maybe even flirty, with everybody. But it's just him, it doesn't really bother me."
"Sure?"
"Sure." She smiled at her friend, and then made a cupping motion with her hand. "No drink today?"
"Rich skipped his usual Saturday morning golf game. I'm rehydrating from the exertion." She held up a bottle of super overpriced luxury water. Of course. Dasani would not do.
"Congrats." Jennifer smiled, and then looked back out the window. Bitch, she thought, keep your hands off my boyfriend.

"I'm surgical with this bitch."
"You sure about that?" Eric did not seem convinced. Bespectacled, wearing a t-shirt that looked way out of place on his skinny frame, and dressed in rather unseasonably heavy blue jeans, he looked rather lost aboard the diving boat that had been their home for the last eight days.
"Positive. You just watch and be amazed." Turning to the boathouse, David yelled up to the young lady standing next to the captain. "Send the alert?"
"We're all clear for blast!"
"Roger that." Turning, he winked at the man, and then picked up the remote control, looking out across the water. Here goes nothing, he thought to himself. About a half ton worth of nothing. "Fire in the hole, fire in the hole, fire in the hole!" His voice echoed across the empty water, and he twisted the detonator.
One might have expected a muffled blast; maybe a mushroom shaped wave or a ripple in the water. A geyser maybe, a show of some kind. But one would have been mistaken.
The hull ruptured very cleanly, just as he had planned it, and the old cargo ship started to fill with water. Then there was another explosion, ripping another hole into the water line. But the weight was not even, and when the third charge went, bending the spine of the vessel, it weakened the already straining material to such a point that it cracked, like a two by four over a knee, both pieces sinking on their own. They sank beneath the water a bit faster than planned, so when the other four charges blew, neither piece turned as much as hoped for, but they had been overly optimistic. When they settled on the shallow ocean floor, the cutter was already above them, with David dressed in full diving gear.
"I'm going down to make sure all the charges blew."
"If they did, drinks are on me tonight." Eric was clearly relieved that the part of this job dealing with explosives was over.
"Can I get that in writing?" David rolled into the water, then waited as Traci followed his maneuver, smiling from behind her mask. He did not return the gesture, instead signaling that he was going down and slipping beneath the surface.
