Chapter 26

Saturday morning saw Ed driving the company van up a long, curving tree lined driveway in Silverton Heights to an enormous house. He parked by the side entrance as per usual and grabbed his clipboard. As he walked around to the front door he saw two women standing and talking next to a minivan filled with screeching and laughing kids.

The women were dressed so similarly it almost looked like a uniform; Pastel sweaters with shortened sleeves over a white collared blouse and dark slacks. They might have come from the same store. Suburban moms. Both were maybe 5' 8" and slim. Probably from vigilant trips to the gym when they weren't carting their kids from activity to activity.

The one standing closest to the minivan had a softer look with light brown hair to her shoulders with blonde highlights. She wore glasses with the serious frames that screamed 'I'm smart but still pretty' and had hazel eyes. Her nose was slim and her lips were wide and a startling shade of peach. As she spoke her hands were always in motion and the peach color of her nails flashed brightly in the morning sun.

The second woman had pale skin and jet black hair in one of those tousled pixie cuts. She had intensely blue eyes and long black lashes above high cheekbones. Her nose had a slightly upturn at its end and her lush lips had the deep color of red wine which highlighted her brilliant white smile. Her hands were in motion as she spoke as well and like her friend her nails matched the lipstick.

Both ladies smiled broadly as he approached and shared looks.

"Hello, Ed Walters from Drakos Heating and Cooling."

"Hi, I'm Stephanie Mathews and this is my best friend Carolyn Patterson," said the dark haired woman.

Ed shook their hands and Carolyn definitely perked up when her small hand was swallowed up by his larger one. "I have an appointment with you next week so I'll be seeing you then," she smiled sweetly.

"I look forward to it." Ed said and returned her smile.

The women exchanged another look then Carolyn crossed to the driver's side and drove the van back down the driveway. Stephanie waved at her kids who waved back. Then she turned to Ed.

"How many are yours?" he said with a smile.

"Four."

His surprise must have shown as his eyes travelled over her sleek curves before he could stop himself. Her smile told him he hadn't gotten away with checking her out. He blushed.

"So tell me, how did you meet Rachel?"

"Mrs. Thompson? Uh, she's the mother, I mean step mom of Mark Thompson who I played football with. I met her at the end of season football party at her house. When I started working for Drakos I serviced her furnace and then I worked on her air conditioner." He smiled at the woman.

"And that's all?" Stephanie pressed, staring at him intently.

Ed lost the smile and looked confused. "Uh, yes?"

Stephanie was suddenly all smiles. "Excellent, come this way."

She showed Ed to the furnace room and he did his inspection. He noted the furnace needed a cleaning and the air filter was packed with dust. An air cleaner would be a good idea for this house as well. There was no humidifier so he asked if she had issues in the winter with dryness and kids catching colds and when he got a positive answer to that he suggested the cleaner and humidifier. He inspected the air conditioning components then he went outside to look at the exterior equipment. When he was done he knocked and she led him inside to the kitchen and they sat at the table.

Stephanie saw Ed was a little sweaty from working out in the hot sun in the coverall. "Would you like something to drink?"

"Water would be great, thanks!" Ed smiled. She handed him a napkin to wipe his forehead and got up to get him a glass of water.

He drank the water then set the empty glass down with a smile.

"I think your employer should invest in some summer uniforms so his workers don't pass out from heat stroke," she teased and he grinned.

"I'll mention it," he said with a shy nod. He then went through his findings which were good. Aside from the recommendations he'd made in the furnace room nothing else seemed to need to be done. Even with the enormity of the home there was more than sufficient equipment to keep it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Unlike Rachel's home.

"Some of the rooms upstairs don't seem to be getting as much cooling as they should." Stephanie said.

"Really? I can take a look at the registers to see if the duct work is providing the correct air flow and temperature," he suggested.

"Would you?"

"Of course!" he smiled. "Just let me get my tools."

A quick trip to his van and he returned with a handheld device. He met Stephanie at the door and noticed she had removed her sweater and several buttons on her blouse were now undone. He pulled his eyes away from the smooth skin now on display. He went to the thermostat and manually set the cooling on. He heard the air conditioning come on and turned to Stephanie and followed her up the stairs. Her hips were swinging a little more than before and he did his best to look elsewhere but her slacks were quite tight and showed off her ass really well.

She led him down the hall to one of the kid's rooms and watched as he took a reading from the floor vent. It looked normal so she led him to the next room which was also fine. They went to each room and finally only had the master suite to test. He went in and was stunned at the size of the room. Ed thought it was as big as Shirley's living room and kitchen combined. The bed was huge and the other furniture was equally large. There was a tall TV cabinet across from the bed then he gave his head a shake at being so nosy and headed for the register. Its reading was fine but with the size of the room there should be another register so he looked for it.

He couldn't find it and resorted to crawling around on his hands and knees. Still nothing. He sat back on his heels and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Stephanie asked.

He turned to her and saw she was sitting on the end of the bed with her long legs stretched out in front of her. Her shoes were nowhere to be seen and her bare toes, also painted the deep red, were slowly curling into the plush carpet. His eyes caught the motion and he had difficulty looking away. "Uh, there- there should be a second register for a room of this size." He glanced up at her eyes and saw a look of satisfaction on her lips.

He realized it had to be under a piece of furniture so he took his flash light and shone it around the boundary of the room. The most likely spot based on the path of the ductwork would be under the TV cabinet. He put his head right down on the carpet with the flash light and pressed his hand to the front of the cabinet to tilt it back. He had to exert a lot of force but the cabinet finally lifted.

There it was. He let the cabinet settle back but it thumped a little as it landed.

"LOOK OUT!"

Ed didn't have time to move as the book slid off the top of the cabinet and dropped onto his head.

He saw stars and immediately put his hand on his head where the book smacked him. He felt something wet and pulled his hand back.

"SHIT! You're bleeding!" Stephanie gasped and rushed into the bathroom and came rushing back with a small towel to press to Ed's head. That hurt as well but it was better than bleeding on her carpet. He got to his feet and followed her into the bathroom. She made him sit on the toilet seat and carefully pulled the towel back.

"Ok, that isn't too bad," she said as she got a good look at the cut. It was small but like all head wounds it bled a lot. The blood had run down the side of his head, neck and got onto his coverall and t-shirt. A slow smile spread across her lips. "Hold the towel firmly in place. You've bled all over yourself. I've got to clean that up."

Ed moved a hand up and took over holding the towel in place. Stephanie's graceful fingers immediately went to the snaps on his coverall and started tugging them open. He looked at her in surprise. She got a face cloth and wet it to wash the blood from his head and neck.

"No, that won't do. It's going to stain. Stand up please," she insisted.

Ed stood and she popped the remaining snaps and pushed the shoulder of his coverall over his free arm and had him switch hands to free his other arm. Down went the coverall and Ed made to protest but Stephanie shushed him and pulled the coverall free of his legs taking his socks in the process. She emptied the pockets on the counter. Van keys, wallet, and phone.

"Sit," she directed and he did. She got his arms out of the white t-shirt and checked the towel. The bleeding appeared to have slowed to an ooze so she pulled the towel back and lifted the t-shirt up and off. "I'll get these cleaned right away," she said as she walked away. She took the towel as well.

Ed was left sitting on the toilet in his boxers. He walked back out to the bedroom and was relieved to see he hadn't dripped blood on the carpet. He picked up his flashlight and turned it off. Then he picked up the book and was surprised by how heavy it was. He carried it into the bathroom where the light was better. He tried to open the book's cover but it wasn't a cover. It wasn't a book at all. Looking closer Ed saw a small lens on the spine of the book and something that looked like it might be a motion detecting sensor. It was a recording device! He found the little spring loaded door and saw the controls and the connection ports.

Stephanie returned from the washing machine in the hall laundry room and saw him holding the book.

"That book belongs to my husband," she said with a frown.

"It's not a book. It's a video recorder." Ed said.

Stephanie went still as her eyes widened. She snatched the device from his hands and looked at it closely. "That SON-OF-A-BITCH!" she screamed. She looked at Ed fiercely and shook the recorder at him. "How do I see what's on this?"

He looked at her with a nervous expression. "Uh, it's got a USB port so maybe you connect it to a computer?" he suggested.

She grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the next room which appeared to be set up as an office. There was a laptop on the desk and she pulled open a drawer which had a number of computer odds and ends in it. "Will one of these work?" she asked as she turned the laptop on.

Computers weren't his specialty but he found a USB cable easily enough and connected the recorder to the laptop and stood back. The device popped up on the computer's desktop as a storage device and there were dozens of files with date stamps going back a few days.

"It looks like it may be motion activated and it made a separate file per activation," he offered.

She opened the first video and a man's face appeared. He was looking directly into the lens as he placed it in position on top of the cabinet. He put something under the back edge to tilt it down.

"Sue me for divorce will you? Fucking bitch," he growled then left the picture. The video stopped a few seconds later.

Stephanie was trembling with rage then she suddenly went calm. Ed found that more frightening.

"This is what I can expect from him now. It's fine." She looked at Ed. "Thank you for saving me a lot of grief by finding this camera. I caught my husband having an affair three years ago and we got through that. He promised to change his ways and I trusted him. Then he started behaving like he had before. I hired an investigator who got me photographic and video evidence of his cheating. He had three different women! I had my investigator share the photos with the women then I filed for divorce last week. He's been staying in a hotel ever since," she explained.

She frowned. "I gave him the best years of my life and four children and this is how he shows his gratitude."

Ed didn't know how to respond to that so he fell back on the standard response. "I'm sorry."

Blue eyes flashed up to his and she suddenly softened. "No, I'm sorry to dump all this on you. Outside of a few friends in the neighborhood I occasionally get to see there's no one to talk to up here on the hill and this big house is so empty when the kids are out with their friends." She flashed him a brilliant white smile made all the more dazzling by her dark lips which he was having trouble pulling his eyes from. The smile grew wider.

"Do you have a girlfriend Ed? Anyone special in your life?" Stephanie asked.

He was startled by the personal question but she'd just opened up to him so he guessed it was ok. "No."

"Really? I find that difficult to believe. You're a handsome man! You must have girls chasing you all the time," she teased as she let her eyes roam over his muscular chest.

"No, not really. I- I'm not so good around girls- women," he blushed.

"You seem pretty at ease with me. Does that mean you don't see me as a woman?" she said with a pout.

Ed felt trapped. He didn't mean to hurt her feelings but telling her how pretty he thought she was, how lovely her eyes were, how incredible her mouth looked… Ed froze as he felt that familiar throb. He started reciting cooling specs in his mind to distract his body.

"I'm just teasing you Ed," she smiled again and put her hand on his large bicep. "Ooo! Your muscles are so hard and you aren't even flexing!"

Ed's concentration shattered as she squeezed his bicep with her fingers. She bit her lower lip as she stared at his muscular arms and Ed's eyes were drawn to her pearly white teeth against the deep red of her lip. The throbbing became more insistent and he moved the arm she wasn't feeling to cover and hold down his rising erection.

She glanced down and saw him hiding himself. "Did I do that?" she said with a sexy smile and Ed blushed again and nodded.

A thrill ran through the woman's body as she saw how she was affecting him. Her husband had turned cold on her a long time ago and he never told her she was attractive or sexy. Here was this beautiful young man with an incredible body standing before her showing exactly how sexy he thought she was. She felt wonderful!

Stephanie stepped closer to Ed and placed her hands on his chest. She felt him trembling under her fingertips. "Am I frightening you?" she said breathily as she leaned in.

He shook his head and she pulled his arm away from his boxers. She felt something thump up against her thigh and looked down. She couldn't seem to focus as she tried to make out what she was looking at. It just wasn't registering in her mind. Finally she just reached down and grabbed the tenting fabric.

"OH MY GOD!" she cried and Ed stepped back at her exclamation, tugging free from her grip. He looked upset.

"I'm sorry Ed. I didn't mean to yell like that. You just… surprised me!" she said trying to salvage the situation all the while feeling her eyes drawn to his boxers.

"Maybe I should just go," he mumbled.

"No! Please don't go! I'd like you to stay. Besides your clothes are still in the washing machine," she said carefully.

Ed looked at the woman with a worried expression. Her reaction was one he was more familiar with. Much like Isabelle had been originally.

Stephanie's confidence had taken a hit. She had been so excited about his visit ever since Rachel told her about him. She'd said he was big but not how big. Now because of her stupid reaction she'd ruined everything. First her husband and now this beautiful man. She put her face in her hands and the tears began to flow.

Ed saw her begin to cry and felt horrible. He never meant to make the pretty woman cry. He stepped forward and pulled her into a firm hug.

She squeaked when she felt her body suddenly squeezed against his solidity. He was just… so big… everywhere and a big part of him was currently pressed very firmly between her legs. She looked up and saw his compassionate pale blue eyes looking back. She moved her hands to the back of his head and pulled his lips to hers.

It was Ed's turn to squeak but it came out as more of a moan as her soft lips pressed against his and her tongue slipped into his mouth. She ground her pelvis against him and he moaned again. He sucked her tongue into his mouth and her kiss became a little frantic. He moved his hands to her head and gently pulled her back so he could slow her kiss.

She looked at him with wide eyes wondering what he was doing then felt his lips slowly caressing hers and she moaned at how sensual it was. She slowed her pace to match his and he smiled and moved his hands to the buttons on her shirt. Each time he popped one open she gasped as he was so deliberate in his actions. Her nipples were so stiff she was sure he could see them through her bra. When the last button popped he put his big hands inside the blouse over her stomach and slowly slid them up her body until he reached her bra. Shivers were running up and down her spine from his touch and she trembled as he went around her breasts and over her shoulders. The blouse slid down her back and her arms were pinned to her sides. He took that opportunity to kiss her deeply then immediately move his mouth to her neck and earlobes.

Stephanie moaned loudly as the shivers became shocks across her nerves. He released the blouse and she let it drop to the floor. She was desperate for his hands on her breasts so she undid its clasp and pulled it off. He looked down at her chest and smiled. She was suddenly self-conscious about the humble size of her tits. She knew Rachel had magnificent breasts while hers were barely a handful and his hands were rather large.

Then she felt his hands on her breasts and her concerns melted away. He was almost reverent in his touch but she felt the power and desire lurking there. He leaned down and kissed his way from her neck, down over the slight rise of her breasts and finally his lips were caressing a stiff nipple. She gasped as he sucked it into his mouth and she grabbed the back of his head to hold him against her. The tip of his tongue circled and stroked at the firm button of flesh sending waves of pleasure through her. His lips caressed the larger areola. He released her nipple and she pulled him to her other breast which he worshipped as well. He released her nipple and stood up to kiss her once more. He held her tight against his body as his tongue explored her mouth.

She felt the sparks all the way down to her pussy and ground harder against his thick cock. She still couldn't get over his size and she hadn't even seen it yet! She desperately wanted to now.

When he pulled back from the kiss she dropped to her knees in front of him and seized the waistband of his boxers and tugged them down. His cock was forced down by the elastic but the moment it was clear it sprung back up and almost struck her in the face. She leaned back to look at him, her eyes wide and her jaw dropped. She timidly reached out and took a grip on it and he moaned with pleasure. She smiled and pressed the fat head of his cock against her lips drawing a louder moan from him.

Stephanie had never used her mouth on her husband. He was weirded out by the idea of using his mouth on her and quite frankly that killed the excitement for her. But for Ed, he had a cock she wanted to take into her mouth. If it was possible! Taking a firm grip at the base she ran her tongue up the underside feeling the heat of him and how it throbbed in her hand when her tongue stroked it.

Ed ran his fingers through her short hair but he didn't try to force himself down her throat. She was grateful for that considering how she would likely choke if he did. She kissed the tip and felt his hips twitch. She pushed forward taking the head into her mouth. She felt so raw and primal! She ran her tongue all over the head then slowly moved forward again, taking more and more of his thick shaft into her mouth until she could take no more. No matter how she relaxed her mouth and throat she could go no further. Ed was moaning constantly and she wrapped her fingers around his cock by her lips then pulled back. She looked at how much of him she'd taken and it was less than half. She was disappointed but she knew that was all she was capable of. She took him back in her mouth and bobbed her head up and down on his hard flesh as he hissed at the intensity. She frantically undid her pants with one hand as she sucked on him.

He pulled back suddenly and she looked up at him in surprise. He lifted her to her feet then hoisted her over his shoulder as she shrieked. He carried her back to the master bedroom and dropped her onto the bed. She was giggling nervously as she was overwhelmed by the casual way he carried her. He was so strong!

Ed pulled her pants off then reached up to pull her panties down as well. He looked at her with a hungry expression and she felt a thrill rush through her. He was more than a little intimidating standing at the end of the bed, huge cock bobbing with his pulse, looking like he was going to ravish her.

She moved further up the bed towards the pillows and he followed on hands and knees until he reached out and grabbed her foot. She yelped as he lifted it and kissed the inside of her ankle. He trailed kisses up the inside of her leg and the feel of his lips on her skin made her tremble.

God she wanted this so bad! She'd never felt a man's mouth on her pussy. She'd heard friends talk about it but since her husband hadn't wanted to do it and he was her first and only sexual partner she felt left out.

When Ed's lips finally reached her pussy she squeaked and her ass lifted off the mattress. God! It was better than she'd imagined it would be! He stroked her with his tongue, dipping deeply into her and she cried out. When he slipped a finger deep inside her as he sucked on her clit the strength of her orgasm caught her by surprise. He continued to pump his finger into her as she squealed and writhed on the bed.

Finally she pushed at his head to indicate she needed him to stop. He pulled back and she lay panting on the mattress, her head swimming with the tingling sensations throbbing between her legs.

God she felt so naughty! Ed was only the second man she'd ever been intimate with and he was so much better than her husband had ever been! She wanted to do something different with him. Something she'd never done before. Something raunchy! She tingled madly at the idea.

Stephanie smiled wickedly at Ed and rolled over, getting on her hands and knees. She looked over her shoulder at him and licked her lips. "Take me from behind Ed," she said, her voice trembling a little. She was excited and terrified at the same time. He was so big and she'd never had sex in any position other than missionary. 'Doggy Style' felt so dirty and daring for her.

Ed leaned forward and ran his tongue roughly over her pussy and she shrieked. He pulled back and looked at her in surprise.

"Sorry!" she gasped and her face went bright red. "You just surprised me!"

He nodded and moved forward again. He saw she was still wet from her last orgasm so he gently slid his finger into her pussy and gathered up some of the juices. She moaned and pushed back against his hand. He inserted a second finger and pumped them in and out for a minute as she gasped and moaned. He finally pulled them out and rubbed the fluids over the head of his throbbing cock and a little ways down the shaft. He positioned himself behind her and put one hand on her hip. He felt her trembling and paused.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

"YES- I mean, yes. Just fuck me!" she squeaked.

He slapped the thick head of his cock against her pussy lips and she jumped and twitched.

"FUCK! Oh fuck! Ed! Fuck me!" she groaned.

He pushed forward and the head forced her lips apart slowly.

"FFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!" she moaned loudly as she struggled to relax her muscles.

The head finally managed to slide in and another inch as well. "GOD! OH FUCK YOU'RE SO BIG! WAIT-WAIT-WAIT!" she screamed.

Ed held himself still and just enjoyed the heat and pressure on the tip of his cock. She was much tighter than Rachel but not as tight as Isabelle so he hoped that meant she wouldn't pass out or get hurt. He moved his hands to her ass and squeezed the tight orbs in his palms. She cooed.

She felt like she was relaxing a little so he pulled back about an inch and pushed in two.

"FUCK! WAIT-WAIT-WAIT!" she cried out so he did. She was panting hard and he ran his hands up her back and massaged her tense muscles. This brought more coos and moans from her and he felt the clamping down on his cock ease off slightly. "Ok… ok…do it," she whispered.

He slowly eased back two inches and felt her shaking. He slid in four. It felt so good!

"OH GOD! BIG! OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK! STOP! DON'T MOVE!" she wailed.

Ed was seriously worried. She was so loud and he wasn't sure if she was even enjoying this.

"Should I pull out? You don't seem to be relaxing." he said gently.

She laughed then groaned as this made her muscles spasm and he slid in another inch. "Oh god Ed, you are stretching me open."

"That's a bad thing, right?" he asked.

"No… no, it's just… it… so full… god this is hot!" she mumbled as her head hung down.

"So I should keep going?" he asked as he grunted from the pressure she was applying to his hard cock.

"Slowly… so good… FUCK!" She squealed again when he slid out almost to the head and back in in one thrust. "OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK!"

Ed took hold of her hips and began to pump his cock in and out of her. She was shaking badly and her arms gave out, dropping her face to the mattress leaving her ass in the air. He was only able to get half of his cock into her tightness but it was enough. He increased his pace. She lifted one of her hands to rub at her clit and began to wail and tremble as her body went through an enormous release.

He was quickly reaching his own. "Stephanie, I'm going to cum. Where should I do it?"

"Inside- NO WAIT! On my tits!" she gasped in surprise at her slutty thoughts. She felt so wicked!

He pulled himself from her body and she yelped, dropping to the mattress as her body convulsed through an aftershock. He flipped her onto her back and she looked up at him in surprise. He moved forward on his knees and she grabbed his heavy cock in both hands. Three strokes later he was firing streams of hot cum over her stomach, tits, neck and face.

Stephanie's eyes were wide and her mouth was open in shock as she felt his cum splashing all over her body. "Oh god! So much! All over me!" she breathed as her body trembled and shook. This was beyond her most sinful thoughts… and she loved it!

Ed's eyes opened and he looked down to see the mess he'd made on the woman. She was smiling and running her finger over her skin between her breasts, rubbing his cum over her. Her face was flushed and her nipples were stiff.

"We should get cleaned up," he said.

She looked up at him with wide eyes. "Together? In the shower?" her voice almost squeaked with her excitement.

He hadn't meant together but it looked like she wanted that so he nodded. She grinned as he swung his leg over her and climbed off the bed. He held out his hand and helped her to her feet. He pulled her to him and kissed her deeply. His cum squished between their bodies making her moan into the kiss. She pulled back and led him into the bathroom and opened the glass door on the large shower stall. She stepped inside and looked back at him biting her lip. He followed her in and she grinned as she started the water.

The hot spray felt good and they let it rinse the cum from their bodies. He pumped some body wash into his palm and rubbed his hands together to make some lather. He ran his hands up her arms, over her shoulders and down over her breasts. She moaned and arched her back to press her tits more firmly against his hands.

Stephanie's hands went to his cock and she felt it begin to swell in her fingers. It was so hot! She looked up into Ed's blue eyes and bit her lip again. This was like that scene in the movie she'd watched the other night while she was alone in bed. She'd never been in the shower with her husband. His bathroom time was his alone. Asshole! The gorgeous man in front of her was looking at her like he wanted to fuck her all day! God he was so HOT!

She stepped forward against Ed and he kissed her. His hands moved to her ass and he squeezed the cheeks. She gasped into his mouth and he lifted her in his arms causing her to squeak in surprise. He leaned her back against the wall and she squeaked again at the shock of the cold tiles against her skin.

Then she felt the heat.

His thick cock was sliding into her pussy and he had her pinned to the wall. He was having his way with her and it was SO FUCKING SEXY! She hooked her heels against his ass as he began to pump his cock into her body. She swore he was going deeper than before! She felt like a leaf in the wind, carried away on his passion.

She took his face in her hands and she kissed him, driving her tongue into his mouth and sucking on his tongue frantically as her body raced towards another titan sized orgasm.

"I'm going to cum!" he growled.

"DO IT!" she gasped.

She felt his cock swelling even larger and her eyes rolled back as she screamed out her own release. Hot jets of cum filled her as her body convulsed and shook against his hard muscles pinning her in place. He kissed her neck and her body shook with the sensation of lightning running through her nerves. She felt all of her muscles trembling and she felt weak as a kitten in the big man's arms.

Ed push back from the wall carrying Stephanie with him under the spray. He felt his cock relaxing within her and he lifted her off causing her to whimper quietly. She rested her head on his shoulder.

"Oh my God Ed! That was incredible! So sexy!" she breathed when she was finally able to speak. He gently set her back on her feet and held her until she could stand on her own.

He washed her hair and massaged her scalp as he did it. She purred under his hands.

Finally they were clean so she shut off the water and they dried themselves with big fluffy towels. They tucked the towels around themselves and smiled at each other as they walked out into the bedroom. He looked at the TV cabinet. This brought his mind back to his job. Which he wasn't doing.

"Uh, you need to unblock the register under the TV cabinet. That will let the air conditioner and furnace properly cool and heat this room," he advised.

She grinned at his earnest look. She nodded.

"I think I will just change all of the furniture in this room. I'll get one of those big flat screen TVs mounted directly on the wall so I won't need the cabinet at all.

Ed looked around and saw all the pieces of furniture she'd be replacing. That was going to be expensive. His eyebrows went up.

She caught on to where his thoughts went. "Not to worry, my soon to be ex-husband will pay for it!"

He smiled.

She walked out into the hall and moved his clothes into the dryer. They had 40 minutes. She collected his boxers and her clothes from the floor of the office then went back into the master bedroom to slip on some fresh panties and put her clothes back on. Ed put his boxers back on and she enjoyed the view while he did.

"Hungry?" she asked with a smile. When his eyes lit up she giggled. She felt so good!

They made their way down to the kitchen, Ed only in his boxers. She made them some roast beef sandwiches for lunch while he sat on a stool at the island. She enjoyed looking at his muscular chest while she worked.

She poured him a glass of milk and slid the plate over to him.

"Thank you!" he said politely.

She grinned as she picked up her own sandwich.

"You have a lovely home," he said admiring the kitchen. He imagined how nice it would be to have this much work space and a six burner oven when he prepared meals at home.

"Thank you. Where do you live?" she asked.

"Over on Gramby Road near Corporate Drive," he said between bites.

She shook her head as the names meant nothing to her.

"The other side of town. The far side near the industrial park," he explained.

"Oh!" she said and tried to keep her surprise from showing on her face. Now she knew why the names were unfamiliar. She avoided that side of town as it was supposed to be dangerous. Looking at Ed's size she assumed he wouldn't have any issues there. Time to change the topic.

"Do you like working for Drakos?" she asked.

"Yes! I really enjoy the work and the other workers are really great to work with! Nice guys!" he gushed. "Mr. Drakos paid for my night school and my certification exams! He's a great man!"

Stephanie smiled at his enthusiasm and realized he really was an innocent. She thought he was adorable… and sexy as hell!

They finished their lunch and made small talk until they heard the buzz of the dryer. They made their way back upstairs where Ed got dressed and gathered up his wallet, keys, and phone. He noticed a flashing light on his phone. A message. With a worried glance at Stephanie he listened to the message. It was Lydia telling him they needed him to go back to the meat packing plant as soon as possible. The message was from an hour ago so he had to run.

Stephanie walked him to the door and signed the service contract.

Before he headed out the door she grabbed his arm and looked him in the eye.

"Everything we did this morning is private between you and me, not to be shared with anyone." she said with a serious tone.

Ed looked at her with wide eyes. "Of course!"

She saw no guile in him at all so she smiled and kissed him, leaving him breathless.

"I- I've gotta go!" he stuttered, eyes locked on her beautiful lips.

When she closed the door behind her she felt amazing! She wondered how soon she could arrange to get him back!
