He sat her down on the counter-top, his lips ravenously finding her neck. She took the briefest of his pauses to pull her shirt over her head and throw it onto the floor, not even caring where it landed. The room was steamy and hot, but Kat didn’t mind, only focused on where Briggs’ lips were touching her. They started at her lips, then moved to her neck, leaving little wet marks everywhere they touched. Then they were down to her chest, dancing across each collar bone, kissing just above her bra.
With his hand, he undid her bra. Kat let it fall away. It bounced off the counter and fell out of sight. As always, Briggs stared at her body with a smile. His hand grabbed one of her breasts carefully, squeezing softly. He rolled her nipple between thumb and forefinger, pinching just enough to make it hurt. She gasped at his touch, then he bent down, tongue trailing along her areola.
She ran her hands through his thick hair as his lips opened up, sucking it into his mouth, his tongue dancing over it. Then he moved over to her other, his fingers playing with the one he’d just abandoned. Between her legs, Kat could feel herself getting wet. Briggs was doing everything right.
His lips moved down her breasts, kissing her stomach. She closed her eyes, leaning back on the warm mirror, and let him unbutton her pants and pull them off of her. She sat on the counter-top in just her panties, wanting him to rip them off of her and ravage her.
She felt his finger brushing against the fabric, directly above her slit, and squirmed in delight. “Please,” she muttered, and Briggs obeyed. One of his fingers brushed the inside of her thigh, dipping underneath her panties and moving against her wetness. She gasped as he hit her clit, then moved downwards, sinking a finger slowly into her. He pulled it out, then pushed two back in, spreading her wide. Kat moaned, one hand still running through her hair, the other squeezing her breast.
He touched her for a few moments and then grabbed her panties with his hand, shimmying them off. Completely naked, she opened her eyes, seeing Briggs taking everything in. She could see a massive bulge between his legs, pushing to get out of his tight jeans. Almost by itself, one of her hands reached out and stroked it. Briggs let out a low groan.
She undid his pants, pulling them down slowly. They fell to the floor and Briggs stepped out of them, glad only in his underwear. Kat trailed a finger above the waistband, causing a shiver to move through his body. Then she dipped a finger underneath it, brushing his thickness ever briefly, and then moved away. Briggs looked like he wanted to beg her to keep going, but he kept his mouth closed.
Kat pulled down his underwear, freeing his girth, and couldn’t resist a smile. She reached out and grabbed it, tugging on it gently. His largeness still blew her away. She reached down between her legs, sliding her fingers through her wetness, and then placed her hand on his shaft, using her juices to make him wet. He let out a loud moan, almost loud enough to be heard above the sound of the shower. She pulled quickly, using the wetness to easily let her hand slide over him.
His hand came to a rest between her legs, pushing her lips wide. She let out a low moan, but never stopped running her hand along his length. She closed her eyes, head resting against the mirror, as one of his fingers pushed deep into her wetness and the other pushed against her clit, firmly, rubbing in a circle. Kat found herself bucking forward in pleasure, her body coming to a rest against Briggs’.
She pulled on him and his breathing started to increase. Still, his fingers never stopped working her, and she felt the familiar feeling of an orgasm building from between her legs. The warmth was spreading throughout her body and she pulled faster, until he was moaning in her ear and she was moaning against his neck.
With a bestial growl that was sure to wake everyone in the house, Briggs came. She felt a spray of his hot, sticky cum hitting her belly and running down between her legs. At the same time, she came, biting his neck to keep from screaming out. Her whole body was warm, pleasure overtaking her and causing her to lose control. In her grip, she felt his cock jumping, spraying his seed all over her. Some hit one of her breasts, some the inside of her high, even more managing to slip between his fingers and run down against her slit.
Finally, both of their orgasms passed, leaving them panting in the hot bathroom. Briggs pulled his fingers back, Kat moaning in pleasure one last time as he did so. She felt his seed running down her hand, and all down her body, but she didn’t mind.
She half expected Briggs to head towards the shower, but he didn’t. Instead, he wrapped his arm around her, sliding her across the counter until she was inches from him. She looked down, his cock still as large as it had ever been. She wondered how it was possible, but didn’t question it. He looked her in the eyes, his golden eyes bright, and she nodded.
He pulled her even closer and she felt the head of his cock, still dripping with his cum, brush against her wetness. She lifted herself up, just enough, and felt him spreading her lips wide. Then he pressed his mouth against hers, tongue dancing through her, just as he pushed.
The warmth of his thickness entering her was unlike anything she could have imagined. Inch by amazing inch, Briggs entered her, pushing against her clit the entire length. The both moaned together, lips still locked, Kat’s hands grabbing his ass and pulling him closer and deeper.
Then she was entirely surrounding him, feeling him filling her up. She had never felt so complete, so perfect. He withdrew, then pushed back into her, hard and fast. Her whole body was shaking with each thrusts, her breasts bouncing.
Then he picked her up, his arm around her backside, and spun her around until he was leaning against the counter. Kat’s arms were wrapped around Briggs’ neck, and she placed her feet on the counter, and started working her body against his. His hand grabbed her ass, letting her come down on him deeper and harder.
Their moans were loud again, breathing quickly, and Kat could tell that she was going to cum again, faster than she could have ever imagined. “I’m...going...to...cum...” she yelled after each time she moved against him. That was enough for Briggs.
He held her tightly, pushing into her deeper than he had, and roared in pleasure. She felt his member jump inside of her, another load of his cum exploding out of him. She felt it shoot deep into her, into places she had never thought was possible, sinking into her more private places. She was cumming, too, feeling herself tightening around him. She could focus on nothing but the pleasure, nothing but the feeling of his warmth inside of her tightness, nothing but his seed flowing through her.
They sat like that for a few minutes, still breathing heavily. Kat could feel his member shrinking, finally, and he carefully lowered her to the ground. He pulled out of her wetly, his seed and her juices flowing out of her, dripping on the floor and running down the inside of her thighs. She was covered in his cum, but loved the feeling.
She took his hand and led him into the hot shower, ready for round three.

Kat awoke slowly, a warm breeze across her face. She reached across the bed, finding Briggs gone. Outside, the familiar sound of someone mowing their grass drifted through the open window. Sunlight beamed across her face and she smiled.
She didn’t get up immediately, instead, she just sat there, thinking about life. How much it had changed. How much happier she was than six months ago.
She got out of bed, pulling on one of her tank tops. She opened the door, going down the hallway, looking for Briggs. She went into the kitchen, looking out the glass sliding doors across the patio, to see Briggs in the yard. He held a hose in one hand, spraying water and watering the grass. He looked right at home. On the patio, their smoker was billowing smoke, slowly cooking countless pounds of meat.
She opened the screen door and went out onto the patio, watching Briggs for a few minutes. He didn’t notice her at first, lost in his activities. Finally, he turned towards her and smiled.
“Morning,” he said.
“What time is it?” she asked.
“Nearly ten,” he answered, smiling. He walked over to her,
hanging the hose on the railing, and kissed her on the lips.
“Wow,” she muttered, sitting down on one of the chairs. “That bed is just too comfortable. What time is Toby going to be here?”
“He called an hour ago and asked what kind of sides we needed. Then he said he would be on his way once he picked everything up.”
She missed Toby more than she would like to admit, but at least he wasn’t missing for all of the wrong reasons anymore. In fact, he wasn’t missing at all. He was exactly where he needed to be in his life, and she was thankful for that.
“What do you think he’ll think of the place?” she asked.
Briggs shrugged. “I think he’s going to like it. Now that we have everything moved in, anyway. He certainly wasn’t a fan of it when he had to help us move in.”
They laughed lightly. “I’m going to go take a shower and get ready before he gets here,” she told him, kissing him on the cheek, leaving him standing at the smoker, peering into it.

“Where do you want me to put all of this stuff?”
Briggs jumped, completely surprised. It wasn’t easy to do, but Toby had done it. He was standing inside of the house, holding up bags of food. “Anywhere is fine. Table, counter, fridge – wherever.”
Toby moved out of sight, dropped the groceries off, then opened the screen door and came out onto the patio. He took a slow look around, taking everything in: the patio, the green grass, the smoker, Briggs, and what was slowly turning into a tree house.
“He won’t be able to use that for a few years, you know,” Toby said.
Briggs looked at it and smiled. “That’s okay. Gives me something to do on weekends.”
“How times have changed,” Toby said, pulling up a chair and sitting at the table. “Life can be crazy sometimes.”
Briggs sat across from him. “Yeah, but it’s all worked out, huh?”
“Yeah,” Toby said, smiling. He looked better than he ever had to Briggs. He was putting on weight and the tired and worn look that had plagued him so long was finally gone. Briggs knew that he looked better, too. Living in an actual house did wonders for you. “So, how’s the job?”
Briggs sighed and leaned back, saying, “You know, it’s actually not that bad – for a job, anyway. Sometimes, things were much simpler when I didn’t have one and just lived out of my car, but… it’s nice.”
“Yeah, you can say that again,” Toby said, laughing. “It’s different, now. Now, I’m the one helping people that are homeless and in trouble. Who would have thought that I would be the one to accept a job leading meetings? I used to hate them so much, and now, I’m there five days out of the week.”
“Pay well?” Briggs asked.
“Pays like shit, but that’s not the important thing. I’m actually helping people. If I can help just one person and get them off the street, it’s worth it.”
Briggs nodded. “I feel the same way. My boss…”
“My boss, what?” Kat asked from the door, coming outside.
“My boss is beautiful, wonderful, and everything a man could ask for,” he said. Kat came towards him and bent down, kissing him on the lips.
“I couldn’t do it, man. No way I could work for my sister.”
“Hello, to you too, Toby.”
“Hi, Kat,” he said, getting up and giving her a hug. Kat sat down next to Briggs, reaching out and squeezing his hand. Despite the problems they had had, Toby and Kat were closer than ever. Briggs smiled, glad to be a part of their family. “So, what’s she really like? Tell me later.”
“Toby!” Kat said. She shot Briggs a look.
“It’s not so bad, honestly,” Briggs said, and he meant it. How could he explain it to Toby, actually put it in words? He wasn’t sure if he could. “You know that feeling you get when you help someone? Really make an impact on them?” Toby nodded. “How it makes it all worth it? That’s how I feel. I get to show the world that not everyone who is disabled has to compromise their life. Working for Animus, it’s not so bad. It’s good.”
“Still a job,” Toby said, grinning.
“Still a job,” Briggs agreed. There were times – a second here, a second there – where he realized that things weren’t so simple anymore. He had other people in his life that depended on him. He depended on them. He worried for them. Cared for them. It was tougher, yeah. But it was worth it. He wouldn’t change it for anything in the world.
“So what do you think Cartwright is up to, now?” Toby asked.
Kat looked thoughtful. “Last I heard, he was somewhere tropical. Saint Lucia, or something like that.”
“Now, he has the life,” Toby told them. “Rich as can be, an esteemed inventor, and now he’s traveling the world, doing whatever the hell he wants. Sign me up.”
“You wish,” Kat told him. “How’s the house?”
“Not as fun anymore, now that you two are gone,” Toby said. “But I am thankful. More than you could ever know. And I’m digging your new place. Now that everything is moved in.”
“Anything for you, Toby,” Kat told him.
They had only been in the house for about a month, but Briggs already felt at home. After Cartwright had retired and left the company to Kat, she had initially been reluctant to step up their living situation. It wasn’t that living with Toby had been bad – rather, it had been really good – but the house would get awfully cramped with four people living in it, soon. So they’d moved to a new place, leaving Kat’s old house to Toby.
Briggs put his hand on Kat’s stomach. After everything they’d been through together, this was right. He knew it more certainly than anything he’d ever known in his life. He was ready.
After everything had happened six months ago, Briggs had moved in with Kat and Toby, but things didn’t immediately change for the better. He was unemployed, still, and couldn’t find a decent job that would hire him with his history and disability. He felt like somehow, everything was still balanced precariously.
It had all changed when Kat became the CEO of Animus Engineering. She ramped up production, reconstructing a new Aegis 2.0, which was now approved to begin distribution. Her life was going perfectly, but Briggs felt like he was going nowhere, only drawn along in her wake.
She came to him one morning, excitement on her face. There was a job for him at Animus, if he wanted it. He’d been skeptical at first, not wanting to accept any handouts. He wanted a job on his own merits, and Kat had told him what he would be doing, and he had accepted.
The Aegis was approved, and production was moving along quickly – but they were still having trouble picking up sales. The Aegis performed, but buyers refused to believe that a prosthetic could work so perfectly. They were more than skeptical.
That’s where he came in. He went around the country, showing off the Aegis to potential buyers, hospitals, anywhere there was someone in need. Kat bounced new prototype ideas off of him. Used him to test out new prototypes and give his input. He was an integral part of the Animus process now.
Animus Engineering was a different beast now, too. It was in the same building, but times had changed. Gone were the days of plastic sheet labs. Kat had revamped the building, the labs, and all of the equipment. A team of over 20 engineers and countless interns filled the building from dusk ‘til dawn every day, sometimes even longer. And every one of them had respect for Briggs and asked him questions, valuing his input.
It was weird, in a way. Once, he’d been completely alone, doing everything by himself. He had needed someone else – but he wouldn’t admit it to anyone. Now, he relied on others just as much as they relied on him.
Working at Animus wasn’t all he did, either. He traveled across the country, visiting schools, hospitals, and other help groups. He was living proof that dark times in your life didn’t have to define you. Life could be okay. He was a positive influence on others, just like Toby. He never would have imagined in a million years that both of them would end up helping people that needed it. But they
did, and it all felt right.
