Page 5 of Falling for Fang

Cara

I watched him come back into the bedroom and lay beside me. When he pulled me close, I fit perfectly. That was the best sex of my life. I was not a virgin. I mean I’m twenty-nine years old. I just had not found someone that rocked my world like that. Hell, I was lucky if the guy even attempted to touch my clit, never mind set up camp and feast. I was in a post-coital glow and felt like a limp noodle.

“Baby, are you okay?” He sounded concerned as he looked at me. “I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

“No, that was amazing. I’m just all spent and feeling good.” I giggled and hid my face against his chest. He chuckled and squeezed me tighter.

“That’s a relief because I’m hoping we can do that a lot more.” He tilted my chin and kissed me. I loved his kisses; I could make out with him for hours. When he pulled back, he kissed my nose and smiled.

“I need to go use the bathroom; will you stay?” I asked him, suddenly feeling insecure.

“I’d like nothing better than to sleep with you in my arms. I’m not going anywhere.” He watched me walk across the room. I went into the bathroom, did what I needed to and then turned out the light to go get back in bed. I left the bathroom night light on, and the door cracked, turning off the bedroom light. I climbed back into bed, and he immediately pulled me back against his chest. I’ve never slept being spooned before, but I felt so warm and safe.

“Oh damn, I need to let Spock and Kirk outside before we go to sleep.” I mumbled. I started to get up, but Fang stopped me.

“Your back yard is fenced in, right? I’ll let them out, you stay warm.” He kissed me on the cheek and threw on his boxers to go let the boys outside. I yawned and felt myself starting to fall asleep when he got back in the bed and the pups jumped up to sleep near my feet in their spot. “Night baby girl.”

I woke up the next morning to my alarm going off. I was so warm and cozy I wanted to hit snooze. Of course, running an animal shelter meant I couldn’t do that. I sat up and realized Fang was still in bed beside me. I took a minute to admire his chest. He worked out and stayed in shape. He was nicely built, not too bulky but defined with a sexy amount of chest hair that made me want to follow his treasure trail. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time this morning. I got up and went to jump in the shower to wake up. I had to be at work in thirty minutes. I took a fast shower, dried myself off and pulled my hair into a ponytail. Slipped on some jeans and a long sleeve thin t-shirt with my logo on it and headed back into my bedroom to see Fang sitting on the side of the bed.

“Hey, sorry I didn’t think about me having to get up so early. You’re welcome to hang out here, sleep a little longer. I have to be at work soon to take care of the animals and I have some appointments today.” I told him as I slipped on my socks and shoes. He kissed me on the head and went to the bathroom. Came back out a few minutes later and got dressed.

“I’ll leave with you. I can run home, shower and change clothes then go get us both some breakfast and drop it off. I have some errands to run today.” He suggested as he slipped his boots on.

“I’d like that, I have my coffee pot on a timer so let’s grab a cup to go. I have to have some to function.” I said as he came up behind me and kissed my neck. “Do you like anything in your coffee?”

“Black is fine, baby.” He said as he took the creamer out for mine. I fixed them both and we headed out the door. “I’ll see you in about an hour.”

We walked out together, and he kissed me again before opening my car door and then closing it. It sounded like it was going to be a wonderful day. I cranked up my radio and jammed out while sipping on my coffee on my way to work. Spock and Kirk were in the back seat looking out the window. They both loved to ride. When I pulled up, I let them in the side entrance to the gated play area so they could take care of business. Then unlocked the front door to go inside. I had a few hours before my first appointment of the day, so I went about feeding the animals and letting them out a few at a time while I started cleaning their kennels. I heard Corinne, one of my volunteers, coming down the hall. I knew it was her because she was on the phone.

“Hey Cara, I can finish with the kennels for you. I think you have a visitor in the front.” She smiled as I jumped up and headed to my office.

“I’m so sorry, I totally forgot you were coming back. I got busy.” I said blushing as he winked at me. “That smells so good.”

“It’s okay, I just want to make sure you eat before you get too swamped. I also got you a sandwich for later.” He put the other bag in my small fridge and then sat down in front of my desk. Pulling out our breakfast. I knew which coffee was mine because I could smell the yummy creamer. “What time do you finish today?”

I was chewing a bite and glanced at my day planner to see what was on my schedule. I took a sip of my coffee and put it down.

“I have about five vaccination appointments and a couple of people wanting to have their animals neutered. I have a volunteer today so I’ll have help in the shelter and my assistant will be here in the next thirty minutes. I think I should be done by six.” I told him as I took another bite.

“Would you be okay with me bringing dinner over tonight and spending time with you before work?” he asked me. I put my food down and felt a little queasy about him going to work at the strip club tonight. I hated that he would be surrounded by a bunch of almost naked beautiful women. “Baby, I already told you. I don’t want any of them. I just want you. I’m also interviewing a couple of guys to take over as manager, so I don’t have to be there anymore.”

“I know and I’m sorry that it makes me uncomfortable.” I grumbled looking down at my hands. He came over and picked me up, putting me on his lap.

“You are entitled to your feelings and after the way Brandi behaved, I understand. Just bear with me on this a little longer.” He said as he rubbed my back. “We can have dinner; watch a movie and I can tuck you in before I go to work tonight.”

“I’d like that. How about Chinese?” I suggested. I had not had that in a long time. “I’m not picky as long as it’s not too spicy.”

“Chinese it is. I’ll see you at about six-thirty.” He kissed me and then let me up. “I’ll see you later, baby. Have a good day.”

I finished my breakfast and my coffee then headed to the clinic to prepare for my first appointment. Tommy, my assistant, walked in and started to prepare for each appointment. He would set up trays for each one with the animal’s name on it and it made things go much faster. We were slammed for most of the day. When we finished with our clinic appointments, I let Tommy leave and Corinne had left an hour ago. It was almost four and I had to make sure the animals had food and water. Corinne had taken them and played with them between cleaning the kennels, so they had some interaction and affection. We were hoping for a big turnout on our adoption day. I was sweeping when I smelled smoke. I looked around trying to figure out where it was coming from. I had some straw for when we had hamsters or mice brought in. I kept it in a room near the office. I started to walk back that way and it got stronger and I saw smoke coming from that room. I immediately opened my office to let my dogs out and snagged my purse with my phone in it. I ran to the kennels and Spock and Kirk followed me. We started to open the kennels to let the animals out into the yard. The fire was spreading, and I dialed nine one-one to report the emergency. I barely got the name out when the smoke was surrounding me. I felt the heat from the fire, and I couldn’t breathe. I made it near the back door thinking I was never going to see Fang again and then nothing.

Fang

I had left the Shelter in a great mood. I had some errands to run. I needed to go to the club and do the payroll as well as a deposit. I also wanted to confirm the interviews for later. The sooner I could hire and train my replacement the better. I wanted to be on the same schedule as Cara so we could be together more. I pulled up to the club and saw Axle’s bike parked out front. He normally didn’t frequent the club but especially not during the day.

I walked into the main bar area and saw him sitting there with a beer in his hand. He looked like he had been at it for a while. The Rippers owned Trixie’s so it’s not like it was a big deal, except that Axle didn’t drink often. I tried to think of what could have set him off, but I was drawing a blank.
