“Don’t look so cheery,” she snapped. “Those two have been having very loud and uninterrupted sex for the last two hours!”
Yay!
“Right on!” I cried exuberantly.
Martha’s eyebrows hit her hairline. “Right on? I live right next door.”
“I know. I’m sorry, but—”
“And when Jacob opened the door, he told me you were to blame for this. So you talked him into finally extricating his head from his ass, go down there and tell them to move the festivities to his place. He lives next to William and Zachary. I know for a fact they sleep with a wave machine on, because they told me. Maybe that machine will drown out this incessant copulation.”
“We’ve all been wanting them to get together for a long time,” I reminded her.
“Of course we have!” she exclaimed. “But when he did her, I thought he’d take her to his place. She’s dainty. With the noise I’m hearing, I’m afraid he’s gonna fuck her in half.”
I heard Cap start laughing behind me, and I couldn’t stop the snort that came out as I held back my own.
“This isn’t funny!” she yelled.
“Just be happy for them, and I’ll find time to call Alexis tomorrow,” I promised.
“Good God,” she grumbled, shaking her head and moving to the door. “The things I do for you people.”
I followed her, saying, “I swear. I’ll handle this tomorrow.”
She turned in the open door and warned, “You better.”
I did the motions with my finger as I replied, “Cross my heart.”
Her eyes went beyond me and up to Cap, who’d followed me to the door.
“You. Stud muffin. Keep it down. You have neighbors. These walls are solid, but they aren’t magical.”
She then put up her nose and huffed down the walkway.
Gliding an arm around my stomach, Cap pulled me from the door, closed it and locked it.
He then turned me to face him, shifted me around and shuffled me backward.
“You got Jacob to go for it?” he asked.
“I’ve had an interesting night,” I admitted.
“Do I wanna know?”
“Probably not.”
“Tell me anyway.”
“Well, it involves a sex worker who got robbed by her john after he handcuffed her to a bed. I figured Jacob had a handcuff key, and I was right. He rode to the rescue. I gave him what for about Alexis after he handed it over. Obviously, he took it to heart. I then went to Arcadia to extort a Rolex from said john, since his wife was on her way to the door to see why someone was knocking after nine at night. I did this as well as demand the stolen earnings. I succeeded in these endeavors and returned the money and gave the watch to Jinx, who has a very foul mouth in English, and, I suspect, Spanish. She can probably now pay her electric bill for the next four years. And, uh…that’s it. If you don’t count earlier, when Luna and I went to interview one of the moms of one of the missing women on my wall.”
We were stopped beside my bed.
Cap said nothing.
“Please don’t be mad I didn’t call you to get the handcuff key, you and I weren’t in the right place,” I requested.
“Mm,” was his only reply, but fortunately, I didn’t get a ticked feeling from him.
Therefore, I asked, “I was wondering if you could teach me the boot in the door trick?”
“I was right,” he said.
“About what?” I queried.
“I didn’t want to know.”
I looked to his shoulder. “Gotcha.”
“Baby,” he called.
I looked to his eyes.
“I might not want to know, but I’m glad you told me.”
I smiled.
He tilted his head to the side. “Wanna see if I can fuck you in half?”
I grinned and just caught myself from clapping my hands together and bouncing on my toes. “Yes, please.”
He fell forward.
I fell back.
We hit bed.
And he didn’t fuck me in half.
But he had mad power in his hips.
So it was close.
And it was glorious.
SIXTEEN
CHICHARRONES
Meditation music drifted in the room, waking me up.
I was naked and sprawled on top of Cap.
I knew it woke him too when he grumbled sleepily, “Jesus Christ. What the fuck is that?”
I lifted my head and called, “Alexa, stop.”
The music stopped.
Cap said, “Alexa cancel alarm.”
She told us the alarm was cancelled.
Cap instantly went on, “Alexa, set alarm for five a.m. with any kind of music but that shit you just played.”
Alexa shared her confusion about what Cap was asking.
I started laughing.
Cap gripped my hips and rolled me.
It was then, I focused on his face.
Oh my.
He didn’t hesitate. He kissed my throat, then he went down.
We’d had maybe three hours of sleep, and I’d personally had more orgasms than I could count (or maybe I could count them, they were just so world-rocking, my mind was muddled and I couldn’t distinguish one from the other).
Still, he was so good at this, it didn’t take long for me to arrive at the destination he was leading me to.
