She arrived at the airport and saw him sitting outside on one of the benches.
“Hey, sweetness! Sorry about the delay.” Reese leaned over and kissed her.
“How was California?” Victoria asked.
“Nice! I wouldn’t mind living there again,” Reese said.
“Did everything go okay?”
“You know I’ll have to shoot you if I tell you anything. I hate to lose my bunk mate and favorite sex toy.”
Victoria giggled. Reese never talked about his job and from early on had told her he couldn’t talk about it. She never asked specifics, only if everything had been okay. She pulled into traffic and headed for home.
“Did you and my mom find a dress?” Reese asked.
“Yes, we did!” Victoria said proudly.
“Oh? What was the damage?” Reese asked.
“It cost your mom—”
“My mom! Why did my mom pay for it?” Reese demanded.
“It cost your mom a dinner at the restaurant.”
“What? I don’t understand.”
“I’ve got something borrowed. I’m wearing your mom’s wedding dress. The people who altered it for me just wanted dinner from your mom’s restaurant,” Victoria said.
“Victoria, my mom loves you. You don’t have to try and impress her,” Reese said as they pulled into the garage.
“I’m not trying to. It was exactly what I was looking for and to think we wasted a couple of weekends looking,” Victoria said as she entered the kitchen.
“You’ve sealed your fate with her. She’ll take your side now when we fight. I’ve got no one now,” Reese teased.
“I don’t like fighting with you.” Victoria kissed Reese.
Reese went upstairs and put away his things while Victoria started cooking. Before long he was down in the kitchen helping her. They had a fun meal and got caught up on the week he was gone. She told him about her weekend with his mom in Philadelphia. He listened and told her how happy it made him that she and his mom were getting along so well. She also filled him in on some of the wedding plans she had finalized while he was gone.
“So, what about our wedding night? I’m not sure I want to be down the hall from your dad, Victoria. You know how wild we can get,” Reese said.
Victoria giggled. “I was thinking about that, I don’t want to be down the hall from him either. What about a hotel for a couple of days? What do you think?”
“Sounds good. I need to find one for my mom and Sophia,” Reese said.
“I’ve already taken care of that. I reserved a block of rooms at the Hampton Inn, near the ranch. Rudy’s renting a van to shuttle people back and forth,” Victoria said.
“That would be awesome. What are we doing on our wedding night?” Reese asked seductively.
“Can I tie you up?” Victoria asked with a wicked smile.
“You tie me up anytime, baby. You don’t need to wait,” Reese quipped.
“Really? So I could do it, say…tonight?”
“Any time you want.”
Victoria sat back in her chair and evaluated Reese. This is a surprise. She wasn’t sure if he was kidding or not. She had imagined all the delicious ways she would torture him if she could ever get him to agree to letting her have her way.
“Are you serious?” Victoria asked.
Reese stood and knelt next to Victoria’s chair. He took her hand, opened it, and placed a kiss in the center of her palm.
“I’m serious.”
* * * *
“Strip and then kneel on the floor. I need to be able to reach you,” Victoria said as she walked out of the room.
Reese didn’t know what to think at this point. He wasn’t exactly sure that he wanted to go through with this idea but figured it was better to get it over with. They had talked before they went upstairs and set some ground rules. He took a deep breath and started taking off his clothes. He knelt and waited. He heard her come back into the room and felt a light touch to his shoulders.
“Relax, Reese,” Victoria said as she massaged Reese’s shoulders.
Reese couldn’t help but relax. As Victoria continued to massage his shoulders and upper back, he could feel his cock begin to stiffen. He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes. He was starting to get a little self-conscious at being naked, kneeling, and having a stiff dick. She stopped for a moment and pulled one of her silk scarfs over his eyes, blindfolding him. He quelled the urge to stop her because having his sight deprived was a fear for him.
“Can you see?” Victoria asked.
“No,” Reese answered shortly.
Something about being blindfolded, naked, and on his knees was bringing back bad memories of his SERE training. Reese took a deep breath and tried to relax again. This time he could smell something sweet, like cinnamon or vanilla. He felt Victoria’s hands on his shoulders again. She was rubbing something on him, oil or something like it. It didn’t feel as sticky. He could feel his skin start to warm as she worked in the liquid. He leaned his head back because he was starting to get uncomfortable. She kissed him.
“Are you okay?” Victoria whispered tenderly.
“Yes,” Reese said.
Victoria stopped for a moment and Reese could hear her shuffling around the bedroom. She returned and started her caresses once more. Because he was blindfolded, his other senses kicked in. It had been a lesson driven home in the worst possible way when he was in training at SERE. Use your other senses to determine your surroundings and its happenings. He could hear things happening in the bedroom, the creak of the bed, something rubbing against the wood on the frame. He could hear sheets being moved and the soft thud of pillows being arranged. He could identify the smell of the oil better. It was a combination of scents, almond, cinnamon, and vanilla.
“Okay, Reese, stand up,” Victoria said. He stood and she took his hands, leading him to the bed and laying him down. He raised his hands above his head and she tied them firmly. “Is that too tight?” she asked.
“No,” Reese said.
“Baby, this isn’t an interrogation. I just want to do something different, something that’s going to feel really good. Trust me.” Victoria kissed Reese again.
“I’m trying, sweetness.”
“I’m not tying your feet,” Victoria said.
“Why not go all the way?” he asked.
“Because I need to be able to move you around some.”
You better go for it because there probably won’t be a next time. Reese sucked in a deep breath when he felt the warm oil drip onto his chest. He felt her rub the oil into his chest and his arms.
“I love your body,” Victoria said as she kissed Reese deeply.
Reese could feel his cock start to stir again because Victoria was sitting on his abdomen and he could feel she was naked, too. She continued to rub him down, moving lower. He wanted to touch her and unconsciously started pulling on the restraints.
“No, Reese. Let me make you feel good, Relax and trust me. Don’t fight me,” Victoria said softly as she laid kisses around Reese’s belly button.
Reese could feel Victoria moving lower with her hands working the warm oil all over him. Her hands would be followed by light kisses that seemed to sear. Something in the oil had heightened the sensitivity of his skin. Soon he found himself relaxing and giving himself over to her warm, sweet caresses. He felt the oil drip onto his thighs and knew he would be in for a long night. He felt her start to rub the oil into his thighs and his dick suddenly got painfully hard. He groaned. She knew that rubbing his thighs gave him a raging hard-on. He squirmed and groaned as she continued her sweet gentle torture with her mouth and fingertips.
“Open your legs, Reese,” Victoria said in between licks and kisses.
Reese complied without thinking because Victoria had him in such a carnal frenzy he would have shot someone if she had asked him to. The sensations going through him were overwhelming. He felt her hand stroke the length of his cock and felt her fingertips on his balls.
She laid kisses on his thighs. He squeezed his eyes shut under the blindfold. She was driving him crazy!
“Victoria…please…”
Reese groaned. He wanted the relief of putting his cock somewhere inside her.
“Relax, Reese, it’s going to get better. Let go, don’t fight,” Victoria coaxed.
“You’re going to make me come!” Reese said.
“Yes, sweetie, you’ll come all right. Just not yet,” Victoria said seductively.
Reese was at the edge, and somewhere in the back of his mind he was surprised at how the stimulation she was giving him had driven him to a peak so quickly. She grabbed the top part of his cock and gently squeezed. He roared in protest. She had interrupted his orgasm. She waited for a few minutes and then began a slow blowjob. She was massaging his balls in a delicious caress and he sucked in a breath as she moved lower.
“Victoria!” Reese yelled out as he pulled on the restraints in alarm.
Victoria had managed to insert a well-lubed finger in Reese’s ass! Holy Fuck!
“Relax, Reese, and trust me,” Victoria said as she finger fucked Reese.
“How the fuck am I supposed to relax!” Reese demanded as he pulled on the restraints.
“Stay still!” Victoria demanded as she moved her finger a little deeper.
“Fuck!” Reese roared.
Reese felt Victoria touch something inside him that would have sent him off the bed and on the ceiling if he hadn’t been tied down. She gently rubbed inside him and he knew he was going to come instantly. She grabbed his cock and held it, stroking gently but firmly as she took the head of his cock in her mouth. He thought he was going to pass out from the sensation. There was no stopping him this time. He was having the most powerful out-of-this-world orgasm he had ever experienced in his life.
“Are you coming, Reese?’ Victoria asked between licks.
“Yes!” Reese howled.
Reese could feel his muscles twitch like he had been shocked. His orgasm lasted for several minutes. His body was shaking and tingling all over. Holy shit. He had never felt anything like it. The pleasure shooting through his body was unbelievable. She removed her finger. He could feel himself shaking from the force that had just rocked him. He was gasping for air. She removed the blindfold and smiled at him. She untied the restraints and pulled him close. He wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes.
“Now was that so bad?” Victoria asked.
“I’m not sure what just happened. It was definitely mind blowing,” Reese said.
Victoria laughed and snuggled close. Reese dipped his head and started licking and sucking her nipples. He kissed up and down her torso as he moved his hand in between her legs and started stroking her clit.
“Ahh…Reese, that feels so good! I missed you so much while you were gone,” Victoria moaned.
“I missed you, too, sweetness,” Reese whispered against Victoria’s skin.
Reese rubbed Victoria’s clit until she came. He loved to watch her peak. She lifted her hips and ground her pussy into his hand as she panted and screamed. He covered her mouth with his and kissed her deeply. He could feel her grip his arms and dig her nails into him. As her screams turned into whimpers, he stopped stroking her clit and soothed her pussy with his hand. The flesh between her legs was swollen and she shivered as he rubbed.
“I like watching you come,” Reese whispered against Victoria’s mouth.
“I like the way you make me come,” Victoria said, wrapping her arms around Reese’s neck.

Krazi started looking at the stack left on his desk. He was the technical part of this operation. Omar was the sales and financial part of the business. He opened the first binder and read the study he had given one of his engineers. He shook his head and tossed it aside. It was sloppy and ill prepared. There was no way he could turn it in to the client as presented. He would have to sit the man down, once more, and go over the report or fix it himself.
Krazi could not get over the laziness of these professionals. There was no work ethic here in America. He could work for days without supervision and get ten times the work completed when he was in Pakistan. He picked up the second report and flipped through it. He studied it a little closer. It was exceptional and thorough and delivered ahead of schedule. He noticed in the back a PowerPoint presentation had been prepared and it was ready to brief to the client. He flipped to the very front where the engineer’s time sheet was clipped. He sucked in a startled breath. It was Victoria Saenz’s time sheet. This was the second project she had completed for the company and the work was perfect! He smiled in appreciation and some satisfaction. Omar had had a serious problem with Ms. Saenz when he had recruited her at a GWU job fair. Her resume had been impeccable. He had requested a copy of her master’s thesis, and her study as well as the research had been flawless.
Omar believed because Ms. Saenz was a woman she was somehow inferior. Krazi was finding that Victoria Saenz was the best engineer on the staff. Her work thus far had been perfect and she was always very respectful and gracious. He felt Victoria by far had the best work ethic in the company and he appreciated her seriousness and dedication. He placed the report inside his desk. At least this is a project we can now send the client a bill for. He was anxious to start making money. He hated the wire transfers they were getting from Pakistan and knew if they couldn’t get this company going, the American officials would get wise. It was just a matter of time.
Krazi decided to give Victoria the project he had just tossed aside. He would ask her to fix it and complete it all the way through. It was a long-term project that would require six months of time. Omar be damned! They had a business to run and clients to satisfy. He turned to his computer and sent Victoria an e-mail asking her to come in tomorrow morning so that he could go over the details with her.
* * * *
“Wow! That was fast!” Victoria said as she glanced through her e-mail on her new BlackBerry.
“What’s that, sweetness?” Reese asked as he poured a second cup of coffee.
“I’ve been assigned another project. I need to go in today and pick it up. I just finished one yesterday.”
“That’s a good thing, isn’t it?”
“That’s a great thing!” Victoria said.
They talked for a few minutes as they finished breakfast. Victoria filled a tumbler with coffee, handed it to Reese, and kissed him good-bye until later. She did some light housework and dressed for work. It was ten thirty when she reached the Reston office of Crescent Environmental.
“Ms. Saenz! Let’s go to the conference room, shall we?” Mr. Mummar asked.
Victoria followed her boss to the conference room where everything was laid out and waiting. He explained that the project had been started by another employee but need to be reviewed and fixed. She would be responsible for the rest of the project for the next six months.
Victoria winced internally. The wedding was just around the corner in May. It was the beginning of April. Victoria and Reese were going to Europe in June for two weeks. She decided to talk to him and see if she could only go for the week he was planning on taking leave and visiting Naples. She flipped through the report and understood exactly what her boss wasn’t saying. There were no building plans, no studies, nothing but pure guesswork. She accepted the assignment and told her boss by the end of next week she would provide him with some milestones for the project.
Victoria started for Quantico, knowing she would end up there anyway at some point. She called Reese and met him at one of the outdoor sandwich shops near the base Post Exchange store. She admired the way the base was so self-contained. If anyone found themselves in a foreign place, they’d never have to leave. Everything was on the base.
“Baby, I need to talk with you about something…” Victoria started.
“What’s up?’ Reese asked in between hearty bites of his sandwich.
“I got a project and it’s a really big project. It’s giving me w
ork for at least the next six months,” Victoria said.
“That’s good! I know that makes you happy,” Reese said.
“It might interfere with our trip to Europe,” Victoria said, wincing internally.
“How so?” Reese asked.
“Do you think it would be okay if I just went for the week you’re taking leave instead of the whole time?” Victoria asked.
“We already have the tickets. If you can get them changed it’s no biggie for me,” Reese shrugged.
“Really? You’re not mad?” Victoria asked.
“Why would I be? You put up with my job, all the travel and sometimes the plans I have to break. You never get mad,” Reese said, taking a drink.
“That’s a relief,” Victoria said, releasing a breath.
“I don’t want you killing yourself either, Victoria. Work is picking up and all the planning for the wedding. When you need help with something, tell me. I’ll do what needs to be done,” Reese said.
Victoria smiled. “I will.” She reached over and squeezed Reese’s hand.
“I’m serious, Victoria. You do that. You won’t ask for help and you wind up really stressed out. It pisses me off sometimes to see you struggle for no reason. I’ll help you, but you have to tell me what I need to do. I don’t read minds, sweetness, and I’m not very good at hints,” Reese said.
Victoria sat back and took a drink of her water. She hated asking Reese to do anything after he got home in the evenings. He almost always worked a ten- to twelve-hour day. His travel for work could be brutal. She had been on a couple of the TDYs, as he called them. He would be in a conference for hours and come out looking exhausted. It was funny how almost every fight they had was about her refusal to ask him to do something at home.
“I’ll try to get better at asking, Reese,” Victoria said.
“No trying, just do it. You’re not my damn maid anymore,” Reese said.

Sandy reached for Maggie’s hand as they watched Reese and Victoria kiss before the slut got into her car and drove away. Sandy had taken Maggie with her to the PX because Maggie had said she was bored. Maggie turned to Sandy and smiled brightly. Apparently the rumors were true. They could see the diamond ring glint in the sunlight as Victoria picked up her water and took a drink.
