where all of the park
employees hang out after work.
When she enters the dimly lit bar, she
quickly spots Stump, sprawled on top of the table he is sharing
with the two construction workers, Zeke and Jeb. Tears of fear
spring to her eyes and her heart is pounding so hard she wonders if
others might hear it. She walks over to the table and grasps
Stump's arm pulling him out of his chair. She says in her deep
southern drawl, "Oh Sugar, I'm so sorry about our fight. I'm sorry
I kicked you out of the house last night. Come on and let's go
home."
Grinning at her Stump says in a drunken slur,
"Hey Susie, I'm glad you're here. Did you know that I'm in love
with you?" Samantha doesn't respond.
She pulls his arm around her shoulders,
places her arm around his waist and starts leading him toward the
door.
Stump stops and says again, "Susie, didn't
you hear me. I said I'm in love with you."
Susie says, "I know Baby, come on, let's go
home." She is beginning to panic. Her heart is pounding with fear.
She has to get him out of here! She nods at Jim on her way out.
Stump is leaning so heavily on her she can barely stand up but she
knows both their lives may depend on her so she keeps putting one
foot in front of the other and eventually they make it all the way
across the parking lot and into the apartment building. When she
glances back toward the bar, she sees the two construction workers
watching them and she struggles to get Stump inside the building. A
shiver of fear slides down her spine.
She begs, "Come on Stump. Help me here!"
When she finally gets to her apartment she
inserts the key, opens the door, and leads Stump to the sofa bed
where she lets him fall. Oh mercy! She is exhausted. Breathing
heavily from the exertion and her heart pounding she hurries to
close and lock the door and slide the bolt lock into place. She
checks her sidearm to make sure it's loaded and ready just in case
those two construction workers decide to pay them a visit.
Now what? She takes a deep calming breath and
thinks through the situation. It is so late she really hates to
call anyone to pick him up. She'll have to let him stay here
tonight. Well, if he's going to stay she probably should try to
undress him, at least partially so he can rest. She starts with his
boots and socks setting them on the floor next to the bed. He is
snoring peacefully and doesn't stir as she removes his boots.
That done she wonders what she should do
next. She begins to unfasten the buttons of his shirt. She finds
the activity very erotic and shivers of excitement slide down her
spine. She's never in her life undressed a man. Well, except her
elderly grandfather during his last months, but never a young
healthy male with bulging muscles and so much deliciously sexy hair
on his chest. Never mind that she can't stand the man, his body is
gorgeous! Spreading the sides of his shirt, she can't resist
running her hands over his chest and that thick mat of hair.
Mmmmmmmmm, yeah, now this is sexy!
She shakes herself back to reality rolling
him to his side so she can remove the shirt. She thinks that is
probably enough. Now she just needs to get him to lie on the bed
correctly instead of catty cornered so she'll have room to lie down
and get some rest too.
Samantha lives in a very small efficiency
apartment that consists of the living-bedroom combination, a small
kitchen and a bathroom so there is no place else to sleep. She
pushes and tugs but she can't budge him an inch.
Frustrated Sam begs, "Come on Stump, help me
here! Move over please."
Amazingly, Stump moves to the side of the
bed, unfastens his pants and slides them and his underwear off his
legs before dropping them to the floor next to the bed. Then he
immediately starts snoring softly again.
Sam is shocked and spellbound by his
powerfully built, completely bare body lying in her bed. Oh my!
What a gorgeous male specimen! Her heart is pounding and her breath
is coming is short, shallow gasps. She has never seen a
