Chapter 1
Benjamin couldn't sleep. This was the third night in a row he couldn't sleep. He sat in his bedroom looking out the window staring at the moon. It was full and shone into the room lighting everything around him. Normally the heavy curtains were drawn in order to keep out the light but since he was awake he had pulled the curtain back and was just staring at the night sky.
His wife Annie lay beside him sleeping on her stomach, she was wearing one of his T-shirts to bed and was naked from the waist down. She was more or less leaning on her right side, right leg straight out, left leg up and bent at the knee. This had caused the sensuous curve of her hip to be accentuated by the moonlight exposing her gorgeous ass to anyone in the room. She had kicked her blankets off in her sleep and was totally exposed and open to her husband. This presentation was not helping Ben sleep.
The room already smelt of sex. In fact over the last three days and nights they had had sex at least once, if not twice. Tonight had been rather more intense than the previous nights as evidenced by the copious amount of semen leaking from both her ass and pussy. She had given him head in the beginning of the evening and he had gone down on her, which she thoroughly enjoyed. He could eat pussy better than any of her previous lovers and her little clitty just loved all the attention his glorious tongue wished to give. And fuck, god could he fuck, he had extraordinary staying power. For a forty-two year old man he fucked like he was eight-teen. There were nights she was afraid he would never stop. Every time they had sex he proved that size wasn't everything, it was what you did with what you had, and mind you he was hung rather nicely and had a package most men would be very very happy with.
They had met twelve years ago when he was working as an addictions counsellor in a half way house for teens and she was working with unwed mothers. Their mutual concern for youth brought them together and their love for one and other blossomed from there. He was thirty at the time and she was twenty-eight. Both of them had been through previous relationships and weren't really looking for anything, but that's the way it usually goes though, when you're not looking you find it and when you are looking it never seems to come. Ben's wife had died in some freak car accident which he still didn't talk about and she had left an abusive boyfriend/fiancΓ©e. It always amazed her at how he had stopped bothering her shortly after Ben came into the picture. There was no drama and explosive bullshit that had been so typical previously. Roger had shown up to her work wanting to talk shortly before Ben had come to take her to lunch. Roger had been somewhat erratic prior to Ben's arrival and when Ben came the two talked and Roger thanked Ben, shook his hand and took a card to go see one of Ben's fellow counsellors to talk about his rage issues. There was no yelling, no screaming, no theatrics, Ben simply spoke calmly and quietly and Roger listened and left. The last she had heard he had married and was doing well; some people are just oil and water she thought.
The next day Annie got up and went to work, leaving Ben at home. He had the next three days off work and then there was the weekend. His plan was to begin to get ready for the change of season. It was September and summer was over. Soon the leaves would be changing and the weather would be getting cooler. He was in the garage working on his bike when he felt it more than saw or heard anything. Seconds later he heard the motorcycle and then saw it as it came lumbering down his street with the familiar potato, potato, potato sound that was indicative of all Harley's. It was 1972 Electro Glide without the fairing and had leather saddle bags. The driver stopped at the end of Ben's driveway turned off the thundering engine and parked the bike. The Shovel Head wasn't a bad motor although Ben still liked the old Pan Heads. The bike was in good condition and was fairly clean and well maintained. Chromed front forks, the spoked wheels were cleaned and polished indicating the rider took care of the bike as well as rode it, and front disc brakes gave away the year, front discs came in, in '72 and the Pan went out around '66.
The rider was a tall man, standing about 6' 5" or 6' 6" weighing somewhere around 210 maybe. He was stocky, not overly muscular but big enough that he likely intimidated more folks than he didn't. Ben had always been fairly good at sizing folks up from far away. He was wearing dark charcoal grey jeans, matching jean jacket, black leather boots and a black T-shirt. The protective sunglasses he was wearing kept his eyes concealed and hugged his face tightly. His hair was almost shoulder length and was curly; his helmet had caused his hair to mould tightly to his skull giving him that pervasive helmet head look all riders had to put up with, unless you lived in some place like Ohio or Illinois. The bandana that was around his neck had initially covered his face when he had pulled up again increasing the intimidation factor.
Pulling the bandana down revealing his face, which was ruggedly handsome did little to reduce Ben's apprehension. "Hello Russell. It's been a long time."
"Twelve or thirteen years at least, where's the Knuckle?" The big man said as he came up the drive.
"Traded it in for the EVO, gotta' get with the times. Besides Fuel Injection, and no cold starts. I'm getting to old to kick 'em anymore." Ben said referring to the kick start on the old Electro Glide. As the big man continued his approach Ben felt a pang in his stomach and his senses went on alert. "That's far enough Russell."
Without even being aware that he had done it, Ben had a large crescent wrench in his right hand, gripping it tightly. His entire stance had changed. His feet were now shoulder width apart, legs bent at the knees, body turned towards the big man in a protective stance, left shoulder forward, right arm back holding the wrench. The sinew in his muscles, elastic and stretched, ready to pounce at the oncoming perceived threat.
Russell froze in his tracks and didn't move. "Easy there Ben I'm not here to fight."
"Take your Jacket off and put it on the ground." Ben said in a very controlled voice, moderate tones. He watched tentatively as the big man did as he had asked. Once the jacket was off he saw it. Brown leather harness straps around both shoulders. Russell was now bent at the knees squatting in the drive, hands out in front of him; he had folded the jacket and laid it on the ground.
