Reclaiming His Life

by KL Myers

  “Doesn’t matter to me, Gauge. If that’s what she wants, then I’ll roll with it. Can’t say the men at the club will be happy to not see her on stage, but you’ve earned my respect and have never done me wrong, so if this means that much to you, then you have my blessing.”

  “Thanks, Bob. I’ll bring it up to her tonight and let her tell you her final decision.”

  Slowly and quietly, I open the door to the St. Andrews room. As I requested, Lex is naked and kneeling on the floor waiting for me. Closing the door and locking it behind me, my hand immediately reaches out to her, giving my permission to rise from the floor.

  “Present yourself at the cross, Red.”

  “Yes, sir,” she says as she slowly moves away from my side and adds a little sway to her step, I’m sure just to tease me a bit more.

  “You’re playing with fire, sweet thing,” I tell her as I'm securing her wrists. Her body shivers from my touch, dragging my hand down her side, then her thighs, and stopping as I tie her ankles to the cross.

  “Pick a safe word, Red, and tell me what it is.”

  I don’t have to ask the meaning behind her word when she tells me, “Boston.” It’s the one place she never wants to go back to. It holds bad memories for her, so she knows I know it’s time to stop if that word leaves her mouth.

  I kiss her neck and nibble at her collarbone while my fingers thrust inside her pussy. I can feel her back bow away from the cross, her cunt squeezing my fingers, begging for more.

  “That’s it, Red, ride my fingers, let me feel how much you want this.”

  My mouth lowers to her nipples, then down her stomach, finally landing on her clit. Teasing her is going to be the death of me. I’m not sure who is going to cave first, her or me. I know it’s killing her to be bound, legs spread wide and at my mercy. She fights against the ties that bind her hands and feet, but I also know she thrives on this; it's what she enjoys, surrendering to me.

  I suck at her sensitive button, her juices coating my fingers. I can feel she is ready to explode as I remove my hand from between her legs and stand to place my fingers in her mouth, letting her taste herself.

  “Don’t you taste wonderful, sweetness?”

  Just her sucking my fingers has me craving it was my cock she is doing that to. Lex moans as I remove my fingers from her mouth. I’m not ready to let her come just yet; after all, this is her punishment for today.

  “I’m not ready to let you come yet. Do you know why?”

  “Because you’re punishing me for earlier.”

  “What part of earlier am I punishing you for, Lex? You have to tell me, so I know you understand and won’t let it happen again.”

  “Because I didn’t leave you a note to let you know where I was and that I was OK.”

  “And?”

  “Because I have a sassy mouth.”

  “Yes, Lex, those are the reasons why I am withholding your orgasm. Tell me what I want to hear, and I’ll consider letting you come.”

  Her response is breathy, almost a whisper. I know she is on edge, ready to explode. I resume teasing her clit while I’m asking the questions. “I promise, Gauge, I’ll make sure you know where I am when we aren’t together. I promise you’ll never have to worry about my safety. Please, oh God, please.”

  Her cunt quivers around my fingers, and I know I need to let her explode. She’s given me what I want. “Come for me, Red, come on my fingers.”

  “OH GOD, YES!”

  My fingers continue to thrust inside her as she rides out her orgasm. Reaching down, I untie her ankles, then slowly untie her wrists, holding on to her as she collapses in my arms. I walk us over to the bed and lay her down. “I’m not done with you yet, Red.”

  I undress, freeing my cock from the prison it was entrapped in and placing it on her lips. “Suck me, Lex.” Her mouth opens just enough to take the tip of me in, and her tongue plays with the barbell, licking and sucking. My cock stiffens even more; it’s taking everything within me to keep from coating her mouth with my release. When I can’t possibly take it anymore, I pull out of her mouth, causing her to whimper her displeasure.

  “Up, Lex, on all fours for me. Now.”

  Lex complies without hesitation, presenting her ass to me. Taking her braid in my hand, I wrap it around my palm, pulling tightly. Not enough to cause extreme pain but enough pain to grant her added pleasure to the assault I am going to unleash on her cunt.

  My right hand lands hard across her ass, leaving the mark of my ownership on her. The purr from her lips is my own aphrodisiac, calling to my cock and begging me to impale her, but I don’t. I can’t. Not until both her cheeks are glowing red to match the color of her hair. My hand collides with her other cheek, ensuring she has matching handprints. I repeat the process several times more, and when I’m done, the sweet scent of her arousal fills the room.

  “Are you ready, Lex, for my cock?”

  I don’t wait for her response; I don’t need to. I can see how slippery her folds are. Lining up my cock to her hole, I hold her hips firmly and thrust hard into her. The metal that makes up the ladder on the underside of my cock rubs along her canal, causing her pussy muscles to clench around my shaft.

  It isn’t long before Lex is coming again. I pull her hard against me, burying my cock as deep as I can get it and pulling her ass tight against my body as I pulsate and fill her with my seed.

  Holding her in my arms, I kiss the top of her head. “Please don’t ever scare me again, Red. I don’t think my heart can take it.” She doesn’t have to speak for me to know she heard me. I hold her for a bit, allowing us both to savor in the moment of what we both shared.

  “Lex, I want you to meet my family.” I feel her tense beside me.

  “Are you sure, Gauge? I’m not sure it's wise. How will you explain who I am and what I do if they ask?”

  “First off, it’s none of their business what you do for a living, and secondly, what you are to me is my woman, and because you are, they will accept you without hesitation.”

  I’m not sure how to say the next part. I need to tread lightly so that Lex doesn’t take it the wrong way.

  “Thirdly, regarding what you do for a living, I wanted to talk to you about that, Lex. You know whatever you decide, I’m with you, but how about quitting this whole dancing thing?” She starts to say something, but I cut her off. “Hear me out. You could keep working here, just at Fetishes behind the counter at check-in, and I know you’ve wanted to go back to school, so maybe you could do that as well.”

  “Gauge, where is all this coming from?”

  “Lex, you know I love you. I’ve said it over and over again. I hate that everyone sees what’s mine. I want that to be for my eyes only from now on. Besides, I hate that I can’t mark you properly.”

  “Mark me properly, what the hell are you talking about, big boy?”

  Without saying a word, I roll her onto her back and sink my teeth into the top of her breast, sucking and biting just enough to leave a pretty, purple mark surrounded by the marks of my teeth where they slightly broke the skin.

  “That’s what I’m talking about. Can you feel how hard my dick just got? I love seeing my marks on you. I know you’re mine when I see them.”

  “Oh for Christ sakes, did you just mark your territory like a dog?”

  “Damn right, I did. You got a problem with that?” When Lex doesn’t speak up, I say, “Thought not."

  “If it makes you happy, Gauge, I’ll talk to Bob tomorrow and see how he feels about it.”

  “Don’t need to. I did tonight, and he’s fine with it.”

  “Excuse me, but shouldn’t we have discussed this first before you took it upon yourself to ask on my behalf?”

  “Nope, I’m your old man, and because I have that title, I get to make these types of decisions. Hey, I left the actual decision up to you. I just did the legwork for you.”

  “Oh my God. You’re crazy. Let’s go home. I’m tired, and I don’t think I can lie here a
ny longer and not want to have you buried inside me.”

  Family Time

  IT HAS BEEN a month since Braedyn’s wedding, and I know it’s time to introduce Lex to the family. As luck would have it, my niece entered the world yesterday, and what better time for introductions? I’ll meet my new niece, and my family will meet my woman.

  “I’m nervous, Gauge. Are you sure today is the best day for me to meet them? Why don’t you go see your niece? I can meet them another day.”

  “Stop stalling, Lex, it’s now or never.”

  “How about never, then. They don’t need to meet me.”

  “Lex, get your ass out the door.”

  The drive to the hospital is fairly quick. I can feel how tense Lex is sitting behind me, and I’m a little nervous as well, but I will never admit that to her. When we arrive at the hospital, I take her hand and link my fingers with hers as we walk through the parking lot and to the entrance. Even in the elevator to the third floor, I never let go of her hand. She is my rock, and I’m going to be hers as well. When I enter Rylee’s hospital room, all eyes are on me. Well, almost all eyes; Rylee’s are on Lex.

  “Oh my God, I know you,” Rylee blurts out.

  “You what?” Braedyn and I ask at the same time, both of us looking at each other as we speak.

  “How you do you know her?” I ask Lex, but before she can answer me, Rylee speaks up.

  “Brae, remember that client I had who wanted the most bizarre wedding? You know, the one where she wanted her husband to wear a knight's suit. That was her.”

  “EXCUSE ME? What the fuck, Lex, is she talking about?” But before Lex can respond, Rylee continues.

  “No, no, I’m sorry, Gauge. I didn’t mean it was her. It was her friend.”

  All eyes are now on Lex, and I can see she is horrified. What a way to meet someone's family, right?

  “Uhm, hi,” Lex squeaks out. “I’m Lexie. Yes, we have met before, Rylee. I didn’t put two and two together when Gauge said his sister-in-law’s name is Rylee and she is a wedding planner. I should have, but I didn’t.”

  Because this is the first I have ever heard about this, I feel I’m in the twilight zone. “Lex, can you let me in on the secret here, please?”

  “So, remember Star?” I can tell she is embarrassed to admit this, because I know she is concerned with what my family is going to think. The pink rises from her neck to her cheeks.

  “Yep, she was a little on the batty side. I remember her.”

  “Well, when she was planning her wedding, she asked me to go with her, and I didn’t have anything better to do, so I went. She was kind of rude to your sister-in-law, because your sister-in-law was really rude to her.” She glances at Rylee and cringes a tiny bit “Sorry, Rylee, but you were, kind of.”

  Rylee being rude to anyone has me knowing that there is probably more to this story than what is being said. “Explain, because, sweetness, I don’t think Rylee has a rude bone in her body.”

  Rylee speaks up before Lex can finish. “That crazy bitch wanted me to arrange a wedding where her fiancé would wear knight’s armor, and she would wear a medieval gown.” She laughs for a moment before continuing. “Of course, she was expecting me to provide her with local designers who could make her that stupid dress, and the bitch thought I would know where she could rent a set of armor for her husband-to-be. When I told her it would be impossible to accomplish what she wanted, she went all Bridezilla on me and told me I was incompetent. Which then led to me explaining to her what exactly a wedding planner does and that by no means does that include being a set designer for the remake of King Arthur.”

  Then Lex chimes in, “Yeah, and you told her she needed to up her meds and wake up in the world of reality. I almost pissed myself, it was so funny. Well, Star didn’t think so.”

  And just like that, the ice is broken. Lex extends her hand out to everyone as she says, “My name is Lexie; you can call me Lex if you like.”

  One by one, she goes around the room, only no one shakes her hand; she is welcomed with hugs.

  “My name is Gidget, and this is my husband, Peter.”

  Lex looks at ease when she replies, “Nice to meet you.”

  My brother wraps her in a bear hug and squeezes her to death, causing me to growl at him. “I’m Braedyn or Brae, whichever works for you. As you guessed, I’m Rylee’s husband and Gauge’s brother and the newest proud papa in the room.”

  “Nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about all of you lately, so I’m really happy to finally put names and faces together.” Stepping over to Rylee, she says, “It’s nice to meet you officially and under somewhat normal circumstances. Your daughter is absolutely beautiful.”

  As if they were old friends, Rylee holds out my niece for Lex to hold. “I’d like to introduce you both to Rachel Olivia Ellington, but we just call her Roe.”

  I watch as Lex cuddles my niece in her arms. The pure joy in her eyes is breathtaking. The abundance of emotion I’m feeling at that moment has me dreaming of all sorts of things I shouldn’t be dreaming of. I don’t deserve this happiness, not after the life I’ve lived, and I sure as hell shouldn’t be dreaming of a future where I will be holding my own child.

  Lex is snuggling Roe, playing with her little hands and toes. She places little kisses on that tiny bundle's head all the while smiling with elation I haven’t ever seen on her face before. All the worry she had about meeting my family went out the door once my niece was placed in her arms. I didn’t realize I placed my arm around Red’s shoulder, pulled her close to my side, until my hand reaches out to stroke the top of Roe’s head. “Welcome to the family, precious little one. I’m so glad to meet you.”

  It has been hours since we arrived, and if you were someone watching from the outside, you would think we are a normal family. You wouldn’t know I am a shell of a man who has done time, or that Lex is a daughter of an organized crime family and now stripper, well, ex-stripper. There would be no indication that Braedyn and I were once at odds with each other. We look just like one big happy family celebrating the new life that just arrived and that we all are blessed with having.

  Hesitation and sadness fills me as I stand. “Lex, we have to leave, babe. I’ve got work and so do you.”

  “Can’t we stay just a little longer, Gauge?”

  “Nah, Lex, as it is we’ve been here too long. We’ll probably be a little late to work, but I’ll call Bob and let him know why and I’m sure he will be fine, but we need to leave now.”

  I don’t like seeing sadness on my woman’s face. Hoping that Rylee will give me the answer I want, I ask, “Rylee, is it OK if Lex comes over tomorrow and spends some time with you and Roe?”

  A glimmer of hope rises in Lex’s eyes when Rylee responds, “Sure, I’d love the company. Brae has to work tomorrow.” Looking at Lex, she continues, “If you want to, that is. Don’t feel obligated if you don’t want to.”

  “Oh, I’d love to,” Lex squeals. It seems Lex is doing a lot of squealing today, and before the night is over I’m going to make sure she squeals for me a few more times.

  Taking Lex's hand in mine, I help her out of her chair. We make the rounds saying good-bye and hugging everyone, promising to see them all soon.

  “Dinner,” my mom blurts out. “We need to all have dinner very soon.”

  “OK, Mom, dinner it is. I’ll call you later this week, and we can find a time that works well for everyone.”

  Once the door to the hospital room closes behind us, Lex jumps into my arms wrapping her legs around my waist. Luckily, I have quick reflexes and catch her.

  “Gauge, I love your family. I’m so happy you made me come today. And your niece, oh my God, she is so precious and tiny and adorable, and I want one.”

  “Excuse me?”

  “Well, not right this moment, Gauge. Geeze, you should see the look on your face. I mean, someday I want a child. I never thought about having one because I never thought I’d ever find anyone I would consider staying w
ith. When you live your life in hiding, you try not to get too close to anyone. Hell, the day I met you, I never thought I’d be this close to you, but look at us now.”

  I’m not quite sure how she did it, but all that came out in one breath. I don’t think I saw her pause once to breathe as she spoke those words. It is comical how those exact same thoughts ran through my mind earlier today, solidifying just one more thing as to why this woman is the right one for me, and making my cock stand at attention.

  “Hey, where are we going?” Lex asks as I pull her into the vacant room at the end of the hall.

  “Sweetness, those words you just said out there have me so hard there is no way I am going to make it through the next eight hours sporting this hard-on.”

  Her eyes lower to my crotch and then widen. “Oh crap, that looks painful.”

  “You have no idea. Now, turn around, place your hands on the wall, and hold on. This is going to be quick. I don’t want to get caught, so you need to be quiet.”

  Lex is wearing yoga pants, which makes it so much easier for me to do what I desperately need. When the door closes behind us, I press her hard against it. My fingers quickly lower to her cunt and feel how wet she is. I can’t get my cock free fast enough from my pants, but once it springs to attention, it finds its way into her tight hole.

  “Touch yourself, Lex, I need you to be ready when I am.”

  As I thrust in and out, hard and fast, I can feel Lex working her fingers on her clit, bringing herself to the brink and pushing herself over. Placing my hand over her mouth, I whisper into her ear, “Shh, sweetness, don’t want anyone barging in on us.” Her walls clamp around my cock, squeezing and milking every drop I have to give.

  Sunday Dinner

  SUNDAY DINNER WITH the family is interesting. Most of the night is spent listening to Rylee and Lex ooh and aah over Roe and yelling at Mom’s dog to stop barking every time Roe makes her little baby sounds. By dessert, I want to drop-kick that dog through the arcadia door.
