Page 13 of Seducing Serena

That brought several other questions from others in the growing crowd around their table. They were pressing closer and closer and Noah was getting ready to stand up and step away. Crowds always got to him, especially when they were as close as this one was.

“Everyone needs to take two steps back, please.” Ford raised his voice above the growing din from the questions that were being thrown at them faster than they could answer.

Just then a woman wearing a neatly pressed white blouse and long black skirt stepped up and met Noah’s eyes. She looked like she immediately understood his discomfort and was willing to do something about it.

“Littles, you all need to return to your seats and let our guests eat in peace.”

“But Nanny J, they’refirefighters,” the Little in red shorts and a blue truck on the front of his t-shirt said.

“They are also guests and would like to eat in peace. Back to your seats or I’ll be borrowing one of Chef Connor’s wooden spoons.”

The threat work and the crowd dispersed quickly. The two Littles who had first approached were the last to head back to their table, but when Nanny J raised an eyebrow, they scurried away.

“Thank you,” Noah said once the woman was the only one left in the area.

“You’re welcome. As you can see, they’re enamored of first responders. Would you be willing to take a few minutes one day while you’re here to visit the Littles’ Wing and talk about your jobs?”

Noah looked at Ford and Serena, who both nodded, before he turned back. “We’d be happy to.”

“Thank you,” Nanny J said with a smile. “We can talk later about a time.”

And then she was gone and Noah was able to focus on his dinner once again.

“You’re too nice,” Ford said gently.

Noah looked at him and shivered. “As if you could say no to a woman who looks like that. She reminded me of the nuns who taught at my elementary school. They had these heavy rulers and weren’t afraid to use them.”

“Besides,” he continued a moment later, trying to sound serious, which was a challenge, “we will need things to do that aren’t scene or sex related. I mean, we might have stamina in bed, but everyone needs a break at some point.”

Serena giggled at his words.

“You’re right,” Ford agreed with a huffed chuckle. “But I’ll let you take lead on that.

“Aye aye, Captain,” Noah said with a laugh and a left-handed salute.

By the time they returned to their room later that evening, Serena felt relaxed about being on Rawhide Ranch. In the last two years of being a first responder, she had discovered that she couldn’t relax until she learned where the exits, fire extinguishers and other safety equipment were located. She could tell that Noah and Ford were more relaxed as well. Ford had once said he felt like a cat who couldn’t settle until he learned all the corners of whatever new space they were in.

Not only had they reexplored the grounds within sight of the main building, once the sun set behind the mountains, they’d returned inside and wandered the resort. While they didn’t enter the Littles’ Wing, they did ride the elevators to the various floors they had access to.

They found the classrooms, theater, and age-play themed playrooms on the second floor, and the gym, arcade, and Dungeon in the basement.

Though tempted to ask if they could explore the Dungeon, Serena remained silent. The tiredness she thought had passed was back, and she began yawning every few minutes. She allowed her men to lead her away from the double doors that led into that special space.

“We’ll come back in the next day or two,” Ford promised as they stepped into the elevator and headed up to the main floor where their room was located.

She nodded and leaned against Noah, feeling more relaxed than she had been in months, or longer. Noah took her weight easily, going so far as to wrap an arm around her back to hold her in place and keep her from falling. When the elevator doors opened, he guided her out of it and down the hall to their room.

“We need showers,” Ford stated as he opened the door to their room.

“Yes, we do,” Noah agreed easily. “We’ll go first.”

Serena giggled as he pulled her along with him toward the bathroom. He didn’t even bother to stop for clothing. It was obvious from the bulge in both men’s pants that her own horniness was about to be dealt with.

Once in the bathroom, Noah stripped them both down, tossing their clothing toward the door to the bedroom where a pile formed. Once they were both naked, he turned on the water before pulling her into the shower with him. She sighed as the warm water flowed over her.

“So damn beautiful,” Noah murmured as he pulled the shower door closed and stepped closer.
