UNTOUCHABLE (Siri's Saga Book 1)

by Klide, Jessika

  "You're welcome."

  I stare out the window thinking as we travel up the drive. "It is so incredibly awesome to know where Flash is now and to be able to reconnect with him." As he pulls into the parking spot next to my car. "Do you believe in Karma, Aurei?"

  "Karma?"

  "You know, destiny?"

  "I do now."

  We get out and walk hand in hand across the parking lot. Mrs. Smith is walking up to Building B. When she sees us, she claps her hands, and gives us a thumbs up. "Well, she approves even if Lucy won't."

  Aurei laughs. "Yep, Lucy is a little hostile towards me."

  "A little?" We laugh as he opens the door for me and I walk through. "More than little." We re-clasp hands and continue through the lobby to the elevator.

  "Favorite food?"

  "Fried Chicken."

  "Whew! That's the only thing I know how to cook."

  "Did you play football in high school and what position because I know you did?"

  "Yes, cornerback."

  "Favorite color?"

  "No." He rolls his eyes.

  I laugh. "Just kidding."

  We wait with a guy our age. He and Aurei exchange "Sup's." When the elevator doors open, an old couple comes out. They are both frowning and look so unhappy. When we enter, I tell Aurei. "Please spank me if I get grumpy. Life is too short to be a grumpy fuck!"

  "I promise."

  The other dude agrees. "Really. YOLO!"

  When we arrive on Cloud 9, I automatically turn to the left towards my apartment, but Aurei turns towards his. He drags me along by my cinched hand as I protest. "Hey, wait a minute. I need a shower and a change of clothes."

  "Not an option."

  "Can I at least ask why?"

  "Yes. I'm faster. I can nap at your place while you get ready. Besides, I have food in my place. We need to eat."

  "Ok. That's perfectly logical." I skip to catch up to him. He grins as I start to sing "Happy" and break into the choreography.

  When we enter his apartment he heads to the bathroom and I head to the kitchen still singing and dancing. I open the refrigerator to see what I can throw together for him. The usual items are all here, neat and organized. Coors Light is on the top shelf. "Want a beer?" He doesn't answer, so I resume "Happy" and open the freezer looking for a mug. Ah ha! I take one, pour him a beer and put it back. Opening the pantry, I find my favorite go to food, peanut butter. I put it and a loaf of bread on the counter, then get two plates. Back to the refrigerator, I find the jelly. I quickly whip us up my specialty, toasted PB&J's. I fix him two with extra peanut butter, knowing he eats a lot from the amount of omelet he consumed this morning.

  I walk out onto the balcony while I eat mine and sip a bottle of water. The view here is of the running trail. The sun is low in the sky. It's as beautiful from this Cloud 9 as it is from mine. Popping the last bite in my mouth, I go back in. The beer should have ice now.

  When I push the door open, I hear Aurei humming "Happy" under the water. His tone is pitch perfect. Because HE IS PERFECT! I knock gently on the shower door remembering this morning. A black eye would ruin a perfect day. I stick the frozen mug in. When he feels the cold air, he opens his eyes and sees it. "A woman after my heart." He takes it and drinks several big swallows. "AH, that hits the spot. Thanks."

  "Here. There's more." I stick the sandwich in. He opens his mouth and I stuff it in. He takes a huge bite, eating a quarter of it and mumbles "Thanks" again as his head goes back under the water. I wait as he chews. He comes out smiling and washes the peanut butter down with the beer.

  "Has my heart."

  "That's right!" I say, making him laugh at my fast voice inflection.

  "Set the delicious gourmet sandwich down on the sink. I'll finish it when I shave, Sweet Thang."

  "Yes sir." I close the door, set his sandwiches down on the sink, and go back into the bedroom. His bed looks so inviting. I flop my satisfied, pounded body spread eagle on his comforter. It's so soft. I close my eyes and listen to the water running. I feel like I've been rode hard and put up wet. I smile as I drift right off to sleep.

  A hero rides into my view from the fog. He sits naked bareback. Proud. I reach out and touch the horse. It's beautiful. White. Pure white. A Lipizzaner Stallion! Awe! Gorgeous! The hero sits the horse like he is Napoleon Bonaparte, commanding, confident but he is masked like the Lone Ranger. I walk toward him slowly, like Lady Godiva with only my hair covering my naked body. His naked body is powerful, strong. I pause in front of him, waiting…. He looks down at me. The love in his eyes makes my knees weak. I start to fall. He slides off the white stallion and catches me. He scoops me into his arms. I lay my head on his chest. I can hear his heart beating. My heartbeat matches his. I feel so safe in his arms. "Are you going to save me?" "Yes." I smile. "Are you Napoleon?" "No." "Are you the Lone Ranger?" "No." I reach up and remove the mask. "Ah, it's you. You are my hero." "Yes, I am." "Aurelius, you have saved me." He holds me tenderly. I smell his intoxicating scent and kiss his chest. He strokes my hair. "Everything will be all right. I got ya." I turn my head to see his face and smile. "I believe you." His jaw is firm and strong. I reach up and trace it with the tip of my finger.

  I wake up to the feeling of an over full bladder. When I open my eyes, I see that it is dark outside. The sun has set. It has to be after 8 o'clock then. Dang, I fell asleep again. Aurei rolls over and lays his arm over me. There is that electric heat where our skin touches. I can hear his breathing deep and even. It's so comfortable here. I hate to move. I lay here, remembering everything that has happened since I first saw this remarkable man next to me and particularly remembering everything that has happened in less than 24 hours. It's definitely going down in Siri Wright history! But I have too. I pick his arm up and slide out from under it. I'll let him sleep while I take my shower. I sit up and climb over him gently so I don't wake him. I go into his bathroom, close the door quietly trying not to let it click, reach out and find a towel on the rack. I stuff it under the door so the light and sound are muffled. When I turn the light on … What the fuck? I'm in my bathroom! I look down. And naked! He must have carried me down here while I slept like a rock! Well, this is perfect. Like him! I turn on the water and step in the shower. The warmth feels so good. It washes away the cob webs and the fatigue. I put my head under and let it run. Halo starts to play in my mind and I sing softly and hum as I go in and out of the water. Finishing, I turn the water off and reach for my towel. Damn! I forgot it.

  When I push the door open, Aurei is standing there holding one for me. He is wearing a soft Columbia pale aqua shirt cut for his athletic build with a pair of soft overly distressed jeans. He looks divine! But he's ready to go and I'm getting out with wet hair! I tell him with I grimace. "I'm sorry I fell asleep."

  He smiles. "I fell asleep too. We've been working hard." He opens the towel and I step out reaching for it, but he withdraws it right before I close my fingers around it and wraps me up in it like a papoose. He lifts me like a sack. My head hangs down over his back. My feet dangle in front. At least the view is perfect. I giggle. "Is this some sort of trickery?"

  "Yes, of the best kind." He sits me down on my bed and goes into my closet. "Let's see what you have in here to wear." I take the towel off and wrap my hair in it, but sit on the bed where he put me. He starts to go through my clothes. He looks over his shoulder at me. "Siri, put the towel back on. Otherwise, we aren't going to make it tonight. I'm going to get undressed and fuck your brains out until we are both zombies."

  I giggle. "Wow! I had no idea that's really how zombies are created."

  He chuckles and turns to my wardrobe. I wrap myself in the towel. "Ok, but not because I don't want to be a zombie, but because I really want to meet your friends."

  He laughs as he tosses me a black leather halter with pinstripes. "I like you in black leather and this reminds me of your dress last night."

  I laugh to myself with his choice. "This has matching pants." I tell him. The h
alter is cut exactly like my dress last night with a choke collar, no sleeves and a small heart opening at my chest which is highly suggestive but not as revealing. The outfit was designed for me by the same man who designed my Black & Blue Baby. It is the pantsuit I wear when Surreal has a promotional event to attend.

  "It's innocent enough and I'll be reminded all night of my heart." He gives me a wicked grin.

  "Whatever you say." I smirk as I turn around to put it on. Hooking the bottom, I bend over to let my tits fill the special push-up bodice then lift the collar to snap. The matching pants land on the bed next to me and I can't help myself, I giggle. What he doesn't know is the pin stripes are an iridescent material especially designed to reflect low lighting and black lights. I will stand out like a beacon on the dance floor.

  "Oh, no you don't. No trickery! You are wearing a bra! Hang on."

  "But Aurei."

  "No buts! You're wearing a bra." He turns to pick one.

  I walk up behind him, run my arms around his waist and kiss him between his shoulder blades. "This halter has built in pads. No nipples will show. See?" When he turns around, I unhook the collar letting the top fall off my tits.

  "That's trickery of the torturous kind."

  I cup them and lift them so he can see the special design. "See? Built in bra."

  He puts his hands over mine and runs his thumbs over the nipples. "I can't resist them."

  "Oh no you don't." I say as I back away. "We are going tonight. Tomorrow we can be zombies."

  He laughs. "I like the way you think."

  "Now go on, so I can get dressed without being groped."

  He laughs as he swats my ass going by. "I might like spanking that ass."

  "Humph!" I say as I step into the pants.

  He looks back at me as he goes out, stops, and takes a step back in. "Do you ever wear panties?"

  "Panties? What are those?"

  "Never mind. I'm good with no panties too." He calls from the kitchen. "Do you mind if I have another beer?"

  "No sir, help yourself."

  "Do you want one too?"

  "No thanks." I yell, smirking to myself. You are a Bad Thang! The pants are extreme low-rise cut. They finish less than 1/2 inch over 'his' heart. My entire tight, flat, super toned torso is exposed. Not innocent at all! I giggle quietly. He'll make me change if he sees, so I pull out a black blazer. And now for the finishing touch. I reach for my most comfortable shoes, my Christian Louboutin Biancas and slip them on. Back to the bathroom I go.

  Looking at my reflection, I tell myself. You look fly! Now for my hair. I decide to wear it natural. I slap a little conditioner in it, scrunch it and it is good to go. I have been blessed with hair that will do whatever I ask. It has natural curl with crazy natural body but the platinum streaks weigh it down. When it dries, it will be semi-straight but super full. Unique and gorgeous.

  Picking up my blue mascara, I push my pants off and apply it. I fan it with my hand to dry while I decide on makeup. I just can't bring myself to paint my face without being on stage and performing so I add only white glitter powder in a thin line above and below my eyes lids like eye liner then heavy black mascara. In the dark of the club, the glitter will reflect the low light, and in the black lights, they will be highlighted. A dancer's secret. Slipping into the jacket and buttoning the single button, I come out in under 15 minutes. I load my pockets with cash, my license and a credit card.

  Aurei is standing on the balcony finishing his beer when I walk up and stand next to him. I gave him a bump with my ass. He looks at me truly surprised. "Wow that was fast. Are you ready?"

  "Yes, I'm ready." I slide my fingers between his and tug as I go back inside saying "Come on, let's go. I want to meet your friends."

  "Hang on." He says as he flips the light switch to illuminate the room. There are four huge rose bouquets sitting under the stripper pole and taped to it is an envelope with 'For Seary' written on it.

  "Oh my gosh! I completely forgot."

  He walks over to the stripper pole and pulls the envelope off. "I was tempted to open it but I didn't." He hands it to me.

  "You could have. I wouldn't have been upset. No secrets, remember?" Handing it back to him, I fall to my knees and stick my nose in the flowers. "Open it please."

  He opens it and pulls out 5 checks. He coughs. "Siri, there are five checks and a zip drive."

  "Yep. Donations from the Swingers and the recording from last night. "

  "Siri. Stand up."

  "What? What's wrong?" I ask as I stand.

  "There's nothing wrong. It's … There is $45,000 here."

  "Ha ha!" I laugh as I look at the checks he is holding. "They must have called Cat." He raises his eyebrows at me. "I charge $5,000 per fucking fantasy I provide personally and there were 9 last night."

  "Oh." He puts all but one back in the envelope. "I should have invested."

  "What?"

  "I have a confession that can't wait until tomorrow."

  He holds up Darren's check. "My investment partner."

  "Oh!" I say surprised, then I laugh at him. "You should have invested." I give him a sweet smile as I push my fingers through his hair. "So, you are the local bro Darren sent to check me out. He told me last night but he didn't say who and I didn't ask."

  "That's why I went to Been Jammin' to begin with."

  "You should have invested because I'm a money magnet."

  "You're magnetic for sure." He leans over for a peck and I give him a butterfly kiss then I drop back down to the flower arrangements as he puts Darren's check in with the others, then tapes it back to the pole. "How did you manage to get a stripper pole installed?"

  "Money talks and …."

  "Shit walks. Yeah, I've heard that before."

  "Tomorrow I'll give you both a private lap dance and a private pole dance and you can pay your bet to me."

  He looks at the pole. "What exactly do you have in mind?"

  "That's a Sunday secret confession. I'm not telling you now." I tease him.

  "Sunday Secret Confessions. It's a good theme and I promise tomorrow I will fully confess my secrets and my sins to you."

  I smile up at him. "In bed?"

  He smiles and his eyes crinkle. "In bed, in the kitchen, out on the balcony. We will lock ourselves away from the world."

  "On the balcony? Someone might see us."

  "I'm not talking about only exploring our bodies. You told me all of you belongs to me and that you expect all of me. We have a lot to talk about."

  "Yes, I've spilled my secrets. Tomorrow is your turn!" I giggle. "I can't wait to hear all about 'the dark side' of Aurelius Moore." He gives me his sideways half smile. That's a sexy smile! "Are you secretly the bastard son of Darth Vader?"

  He laughs out loud. "No but …"

  I jump on that word! "But? There's that word again! But…. But who?"

  He chuckles at my pouncing on the word. "Not Darth Vader."

  "OH! You are secretly the bastard son of somebody though!" I say as my eyes twinkle and sparkle. "This is a tasty tidbit of depth into the dark secrets of Aurelius Moore. Let me guess. Oo, Oo, Oo! I know!" I say with great drama. "The Bastard Son of Thor, God of Thunder!" I raise my arms in the air as if I'm calling to the heavens to roll the thunder.

  He looks at me gobsmacked!

  "YOU ARE! Holy Fucking Hades! That sounds sexy as hell!" My eyes flare and I'm so excited I jump up and down. "I can so believe that! It suits you! Tell me more!"

  He is laughing with me now. "Not literally, Siri!"

  I give him a 'give me a break' look. "Of course, I know it's not literal! I don't believe in Gods. I just like to poke fun at the religions. But the name suits you so!" I say it out loud again. "Aurelius Moore, My Golden God, the Bastard Son of Thor, God of Thunder! Tell me more!"

  "Tomorrow!"

  "Oh hell no! I have to know this now! Tell me about the dark side of you!"

  "All I'm telling you right now is that it's an alter ego that n
o one knows about."

  "What does the bastard son do? Something dark with thunder I hope!"

  "No more questions." He says and shuts down.

  I draw air between my teeth. "One more. Then I'll wait till tomorrow, I promise."

  He rolls his eyes but knows he has to give me one more. I'm too turned on and tuned in to be denied. "Ok, one more."

  "Does your alter ego reside in Italy, and were you going to, and will you still, introduce me to him? Please, please, please!"

  "That's three questions."

  "Technically one, because I used conjunctions. Trickery again." I wink.

  "You're definitely going to keep me on my toes." He shakes his head. "Ok. Yes. Yes. And Yes."

  "OH YEAH!" My eyes flare and I get weak in the knees. "I can't wait! When do we leave?" I throw my arms around his neck and jump up and down on him.

  "Ah, my Wild Thang. What fun we are going to have together!"

  "Yes! Fucking fun!" I laugh. "I cannot wait to explore all of that name! My Fucking Golden God is the Bastard Son of the God of Thunder! Oh, hell yeah! I can so believe that!"

  He cups my face to keep me still as he kisses my smiling face. "Let's go. First, we have a hot date tonight and if we don't go, my bros will come looking for me."

  "Ok! Yes, let's go! I have to meet your bros! But I cannot wait for Italy!" I bend over to the roses and bury my nose in them for one last sniff as I strip them of the small ID cards and stuff them in my jacket pocket, while Aurei throws the beer bottle in the garbage can. He holds his hand out to me and I bond our hands together, then I drag him out the door.

  CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

  Waiting for the elevator, I ask him. "In whose apartment will we explore our beautiful thing called Sunday Secret Confessions? Mine with the pole, or yours with the food?"

  "Now, that's a conundrum." Aurei says frowning but his eyes twinkle at me.

  The elevator doors open and we walk in. There is a man standing at the back with his face in a Kindle. He doesn't pay us any attention. I muse to Aurei. "We could just order pizza."
