CHAPTER SIX

Aurei

Siri massages my temples, releasing the remaining tension and stress with the simple motion. Relaxing, enjoying the pampering, I still admonish her for pushing me to go hardcore on her. "I don't want to lose control. I'm afraid I will hurt you."

She laughs wrapping her legs and arms around me, squeezing with her pole dancer strength, reminding me how strong and fearless she is. "Your golden rod ain't gonna hurt me. I love it hard."

"Siri, I could really hurt you." I lift my head to bore my will into her crystal-green eyes.

Her eyes soften as she relaxes her python grip, respecting my fear. She traces a heart around my face and assures me. "The only way you can hurt me is if you break my heart."

I close my eyes, shuttering the truth from her, knowing that's a real possibility. After a moment, I push off to stand, pulling her hips with me, so my cock stays firmly inside.

She lays looking at me with the sexiest just been fucked face. "Have you ever competed?"

"Competed?" What the hell is she talking about?

"Yeah, bodybuilding."

I chuckle at that ludicrous idea. "Negative." Then I reach for a towel on the back seat.

"You should. Your body is perfect."

I throw it on her. "Use this."

She giggles as she lifts it off her face. "Where do you train?"

"Gym."

"Ha! Wise guy."

I pull her into a sitting position and place her hand and the towel on her pussy. "I'm coming out."

I hand and puts it on the towel. She holds it in place while I back up and pull my pants up, watching me get dressed.

Then she drops her legs and eases out of the truck and wipes away our mess.

When she's finished, I take the towel and toss it in the back.

Then I hand her her jeans and enjoy the hell out of watching her wiggle into them.

When she's putting on her boots, I walk around the front of the truck. She's grinning when I open the door.

"What?" I ask as I reach behind my seat and open my gym bag.

"You walk like a God."

I shake my head as I remove two t-shirts. "You're crazy." Then I toss her one and pull the other one on.

As she lifts it over her head, she smugly says, "About that? No. About you? Yes."

Mhmm. Good. Climbing in and cranking the truck, I avoid watching her tits vanish beneath my t-shirt.

As we leave the farm, she takes our wet clothes and drapes them so they can dry. Then, yawning, she lays her head on her arm on the console and closes her eyes.

"Aurei?"

"Yes, Siri?"

"You know what?"

"No. What?"

"Until I met you, there was only one thing I couldn't control. Dancing. Now there are two." She yawns again, "Don't worry. I'm tough."

I chuckle. She is such a sweet thang. I stroke her hair as her breathing slows.

Siri

I wake to Aurei's fingers tickling my face. "Siri…. Angel Thang…. Time to wake up. We're a few minutes out."

I pick my head up and rub my face. "Wow! I zonked out." Then I pull his big arm over to rest my head on while I wake up. The feeling of his soft skin on my cheek makes me happy, and I play with his arm hair.

By the time we turn on the road to the apartments, I'm awake and ready to resume my questions. "Ok. So…."

He holds his finger up. "I have a question for you before you start back. Who's your favorite superhero?"

I smirk. "Why are you asking? I wouldn't have pegged you for a superhero geek?"

He smirks back. "I'm not. Answer the question first, then I'll tell you why."

"Tony Stark and you?"

"Wonder Woman, of course. And Stark isn't the superhero. Iron Man is."

"No. Tony Stark doesn't hide behind Iron Man's mask. Everyone knows who is in that suit. Tony Stark is the superhero."

"Ok, I'll give you that. Why Tony Stark?"

"He's a genius who is adventurous, rich, wealthy.

Who people mistake for a stereotypical, partying playboy but who is actually in love with Pepper.

He is unashamed of who he is and unapologetic too.

He has a 'fuck you' attitude and doesn't take shit from anybody.

Plus he is honest and has a good heart. I admire those qualities. "

His surprised smirk makes me laugh, then he says. "You've given that an incredible amount of thought."

"Well, yeah! Hero worship is a serious matter, Mr. Moore. They must be worthy! So why Wonder Woman?"

"She's beautiful with nice tits."

"Men! You are all the same!"

"No, we are not all the same. I thought I made that clear."

"Yes, you did. But give me a valid reason why Wonder Woman is worthy of being a superhero."

"I'll give you several. Because she's a princess, a warrior, and she fights for sexual equality. She kicks ass and takes names, regardless if it's bad dudes or bad bitches, plus she carries an awesome golden lasso of truth." He states, then adds. "But mostly because she's beautiful with nice tits."

"You said that already," I smirk, then put my finger to my lips and tap them. "Fascinating answer, Mr. Moore. I concur. She is hero-worship worthy!"

"I'm glad she meets your strict criteria."

I wiggle in the seat to get comfy, facing him. "What's your plans for post-Army life?"

I smirk, looking forward to it. "I have a much-needed vacation to my studio in Italy with a blonde bombshell that just walked into my life. But before you showed up, completing the farmhouse renovation was at the top of my list."

He puts the blinker on and turns into the apartments. "Aurei, I had a really fantastic time today riding. Thanks."

"You're welcome."

I stare out the window, thinking as we travel up the drive. "I cannot wait to meet your friends."

He chuckles. "If you think Ann was surprised, you're going to enjoy their reaction tonight."

"I can't fucking wait!"

Back at Dogwood Court, Aurei pulls the truck into his parking spot next to my car. I turn and ask him as he switches it off. "Do you believe in Karma, Aurei?"

He opens the door, gets out, and tells me right before he closes it. "I believe in destiny." He grins and walks around to my side, and I wait, knowing he wants to open the door for me.

We walk hand in hand to our building and see Mrs. Smith walking up to Building B. When she sees us, she claps her hands, then gives us a thumbs up. I state the obvious. "Well, she approves even if Lucy won't."

Aurei chuckles. "Yep, Lucy is a little hostile towards me."

"A little?" We laugh as he opens the door, and I walk through first. "More than a little." We re-clasp hands and continue through the lobby to the elevator.

"Favorite food?"

"Fried Chicken, but I don't eat much of it anymore."

"Did you play football in high school? Scratch that. I know you did. What position did you play?"

"Yes, cornerback."

"Favorite color?"

"No." He rolls his eyes.

I laugh, grab his arm and pull myself against him. "Just kidding."

Aurei's rests our clasped hands on my ass, and their positioning rolls my body into his.

He hugs me tight against him. A guy our age joins us.

He and Aurei exchange "Sup's." When the elevator doors open, an old couple comes out.

They are both frowning and look so unhappy.

After they pass, we enter, and I tell Aurei.

"Please spank me if I get grumpy. Life is too short to be a grumpy fuck. "

"You got it." He hugs me up again and smiles down at me.

The other dude agrees. "Really. YOLO!"

When we arrive on Cloud 9, I automatically turn to the left to my apartment, but Aurei turns towards his. His grip tightens, and he wins the tug of war with one pull.

"We need to eat, and I have food."

"Can't argue with that logic." I skip to catch up to him.

"I'll shower first, then nap while you get ready."

"Deal. I can't cook, but I make a mean sandwich."

He grins as I start to sing "Happy" and break into the choreography.

When we enter his apartment, he goes to the bathroom, and I head to the kitchen, still singing and dancing.

I open the refrigerator to see what I can throw together for him.

The usual items are all here, neat and organized.

Coors Light is on the top shelf. "Want a beer?

" He doesn't answer, so I resume "Happy" and open the freezer looking for a mug.

Ah-ha! I take one, pour him a beer, and put it back.

Opening the pantry, I find my favorite go-to food, peanut butter.

I put it and a loaf of bread on the counter, then get two plates.

Back to the refrigerator, I find the jelly.

I quickly whip us up my specialty, toasted PB&J's.

I make him two with extra peanut butter, knowing he eats a lot from the amount of omelet he consumed this morning.

I walk out onto the balcony while I eat mine and enjoy the view of the running trail.

The sun is low in the sky. Popping the last bite in my mouth, I go back in.

I hear Aurei humming. I take the beer out and swirl the liquid, so the ice crystals around the edges break off and float on top.

Pick up the plate with his sandwiches and head to the shower.

He's humming "Happy," and his tone is pitch-perfect. Because HE IS PERFECT!

Remembering this morning, I knock gently on the shower door with my elbow. A black eye would ruin a perfect day.

He opens the door, and I stick the frozen mug in. "Ah! You're a good woman, Siri Wright." He takes it and drinks several big swallows. "AH, that hits the spot." He hands it back, and I stick the sandwich in.

"Here you go. I've made you my very own gourmet sam 'wich recipe." He opens his mouth, and I stuff it in.

He takes a huge bite and mumbles, "yum," as his head goes back under the water. I wait as he chews, then he comes back out smiling and opens his mouth again. I feed him the whole thing this way, then he washes it down with the beer. "That was a killer gourmet sam 'wich and beer. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

He sets the beer mug on the top of the shower railing. "Let me shave, Sweet Thang, then we'll go down to your place, and you can get cleaned up."

"Yes, sir."
