Beast Chapter 19: THE LUNCH…DATE?
"Well what the hell am I supposed to talk about?" he asked out loud."You don't have to think of a topic!" someone said. "Just don't sit there looking like a dumbass.""Ask them what they do."Christopher looked up. "I already know what they do.""That's only because you're perving them." It was their word for watching people on the security camera.Christopher blushed. "No. Ashleigh told me what they do.""Pretend that she didn't tell you." TK was rubbing his jaw. His eye was already swelling. The guys gave him advice while he sniffed his armpits for freshness. Yeah, he was still good after his shower this morning. Someone handed him a bottle of cologne and he accepted it as if it were poison. He opened the bottle and sniffed. Not too bad. He put on a bit.He stripped out of his fatigues and pulled on tan slacks and a white button down shirt. He felt a little less nervous after burning off his nervous energy with TK and the guys were actually giving him good advice. He guessed
Beast Chapter 20: MEN LIKE US
When they returned to work he knew that all of the cameras were on them. He shook Lance and Kendra's hands and promised that he'd join them again some time. Ashleigh lingered with him in the lobby."Thanks for coming with us.""Thanks for inviting me." They looked at each other and Christopher decided that he would just ask her. He would ask her on a date. "Ashleigh.""Yes?"The words froze in his throat at the look of curiosity on her face. "I…better get back. I'll see you tomorrow.""See you tomorrow, Christopher."He nodded and headed for the elevators, cursing himself for being such a chicken. What if he lost her friendship because he wanted more? He didn't want to do that. Ashleigh watched him walk away. ~*~The ride down to Corbin Kentucky was quiet. It was just him, mom and dad. His father had suffered a stroke a few years back and oftentimes became confused. He had his lucid moments though and thankfully today was one of them. His brothers and sisters had decid
Beast Chapter 21: THEY THOUGHT YOU WERE COOL
Just as he promised, Christopher played with the kids for a while and then it was time for the funeral. They climbed into the car. There were two limos, for Uncle Ray, his kids, and his grandkids. They headed to the white church; named that because it was built of wood timbers and whitewashed. The red church was brick and they did things a bit differently; like speaking in tongues. The white church was where they had their family plot. He'd have to visit his brother Walt's grave after Aunt Lonnie's funeral. His older brother had died in a car accident at the age of eighteen. Everything was shit back then; losing Walt, moving to Covington where people made him feel like a freak, and not having his best friend Debbie.His mom was stoic during the funeral service. He held her hand but she didn't allow one tear to fall from her glistening eyes. He wanted to tell her that it was alright to cry and that he knew that she'd always had to be strong. But instead he just squeezed her hands gentl
Beast Chapter 22: A BEAUTIFUL MAN
Christopher took the good-natured ribbing because he really had no choice. But at least he had avoided whatever plan they had created in their idle time to get him and Ashleigh together. He ran his reports, did his sweeps and transported the prisoners all with a goofy smile on his face. Was he the cool guy? The idea made him chuckle out loud several times. His shyness scared people away…With a frown, his mind returned to poor Debbie. Good thing that child-molesting asshole was already dead or he'd kill him. He actually wished that the asshole was still alive so that he could torture the bastard and THEN kill him. Beast popped his neck and several of the prisoners under his care were unsure of what to make of the giant, scarred, guard that smirked one minute and scowled the next. One thing was for certain; the sight of him alone assured that none of them would be stepping out of line.That night Christopher stopped at the grocer's. He could take Ashleigh out…but why do that when he c
Beast Chapter 23: THE DATE
Saturday seemed to take forever to come. Ashleigh always dressed very upscale for work and so this time chose to dress casually for her date. Date. She beamed. What was it about Christopher that made her feel so happy? Well for starters she felt very attracted to him. He was so gentle and soft spoken and yet there was something powerful about him. She felt safe with him. She somehow knew that he would always have her back. But in regards to the attraction; she'd never met anyone so perfectly put together. She slipped on jeans that hugged her butt. Next was a polo shirt and she liked the way it made her look like she had a waistline…wait, she DID have a waistline now! Ashleigh giggled and checked her hair and makeup, and then she hurried to Christopher's house.She knew the area that he lived in but used her GPS to find his house. She pulled into the driveway of a single story ranch style house. It was well maintained; the lawn was completely weed-free and perfectly green. His shrubs
Beast Chapter 24: NOURISHMENT FOR THE SOUL
"I'm hungry, Christopher," she said while staring at the cornbread.He reached into a cabinet for plates and passed her one. "Dig in." He didn't have to tell her twice. His plate was piled high with food so she didn't feel bad about placing an entire Cornish hen on her plate with loads of greens and a butter and brown sugar topped sweet potato. Christopher sliced the cornbread and heaped it onto a separate plate and placed it on the table along with hot sauce, salt and pepper. Ashleigh grinned at the sight of the table. Damn, he ate like her family.They didn't talk they just ate. That's the way it's supposed to be. She wanted to kick off her shoes and tuck her foot under her. "You make greens better than me," she admitted, her cheek bulging with food as she carefully spoke. "And that's not Jiffy cornbread mix.""Jiffy is good for desert with some butter and jam, but when its dinnertime there ain't nothing like white cornmeal cornbread."After dinner he quickly put away the food
Beast Chapter 25: I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE THAT FEELS THIS WAY
He stopped the smile that was about to spread across his face and his brow gathered. "And your ex? What about him? Because a week ago you said you still loved him…and if you do, I get that-""But he came over the other day." Christopher's jaw clenched tensely. Already he felt protective of her. "I thought about it, about getting back with him. But when he touched me I finally realized that I was just in love with…the memory of loving him. I don't feel anything for him anymore; not love, not even anger." Ashleigh frowned slightly. "I never told you this because…it would make me seem really stupid. But my ex married another woman while we were dating." She looked down at her hands feeling her face flame. She felt Christopher's fingers beneath her chin and he made her look at him."Why would that make me think less of you? He was the fool."She met his eyes sincerely. "I was the fool. I thought that because I was fat, that I couldn't ever have the man of my dreams. And I let him cheat
Beast Chapter 26: FIRST TIME
His hands began to tremble again and he paused in his nipple sucking to take a deep breath. He glanced down, taking note of her light brown hands and the way it contrasted with his much paler stomach. He suddenly looked up and sought her lips. He would never tire of kissing this woman. He placed a gentle hand behind her head, holding her in place as he urgently kissed her.Her hand dipped lower, finding his hard shaft straining against the material of his briefs. She stroked his length, amazed at how long he was. How many inches had it taken for her fingers to finally reach the flair of his tip? Ten? More?Christopher's body jerked when he felt her fingers against his shaft, and his mouth parted as he panted and tried to catch his breath. Ashleigh continued to kiss his opened mouth even when he groaned softly at her touch. Her fingers stroked him repeatedly and his own hand moved between her legs, seeking the warm place where her thighs met.He lightly touched her nylon covered sex.
