Buffalo Heat

by N Kuhn

  “So, I’m sorry, um, how are you guys? How long have you been together?” I try to steer the conversation away from me and onto them.

  “A few months, you know, the honeymoon phase,” Paulie says, wrapping his arm around Candace. I see her squirm a bit in her seat but flash him her pearly whites when he faces her.

  “Where did you meet?” I raise my eyebrow, trying to get them to spill.

  “I work for his family,” she tells me quickly, looking to Paulie to see if that was ok.

  “Where did you meet your girlfriend?” Paulie tosses back to me. Candace looks at me wide eyed.

  “We met on a chat room for RPG’s. We were both into World of Warcraft and started playing together and it advanced from there. We’re talking about getting serious, you know, not seeing anyone else. I think we’re heading in a great direction.”

  “Oh, that’s interesting. I’ve never known anyone who lived in Montana. I’ve never left Buffalo.” Candace’s voice is quiet as she looks to me for an answer.

  “Nah, she wants to move to LA. She’s asked me to go with her. We may move in together.” Paulie chuckles, his whole body shaking.

  “I’ll drink to that one Dom boy. So, you’re good with computers and shit right?” Man, he just doesn’t beat around the bush. Right to business. I’m praying this transponder is working. I want to get all of this to help with our case.

  “Listen man, I may have some work for you, ya know, if you’re looking for some extra cash. You don’t wanna live in this dump for long do you? It’s all about moving on up. I pay well and there are plenty of benefits to working for me. I own a strip club. Did you know that? The girls there love the guys I work with. There’s plenty of pussy for you to choose from.” Man this guy is smooth. If I was really who I’m pretending to be, I’d be all over this shit. It’s like any guys wet dream come true. A free posse of women.

  “Well, what kind of work are you looking for? I’m good at fixing viruses and cleaning up hardware.”

  “Well, not really like that. Babe, why don’t you go grab us a couple more beers and watch your shows. Let the men talk.” Oh shit. The fire in her eyes is bound to burn someone. Who the hell lets men talk to them that way? He smacks her ass as she stands. Damn, if a woman like Candace was on my arm, I’d be treating her like a Queen. I sit back in my chair and watch the exchange. I have to say that I’m proud of her. She keeps to her cover as the clingy stripper girlfriend she is and doesn’t pound his ass into the ground. Even though I would have enjoyed seeing that. It’s easy to see how hard that was for her, but she smiles and does as she’s told. When she plops the beers in front of us, Paulie grabs her neck, pulling her in for a kiss. It’s loud and sloppy.

  “So,” he continues after Candace leaves the room, “Here’s what I really need. I have access to insider info on a police investigation. They seem to think my family is up to some nefarious deeds. Surely, we’re just honest business men. But, they put someone undercover in our association and I’d like to know who it is.”

  “Well, what is it they think you’re up to? I mean, why would they bother someone who’s just trying to run a family business?”

  “No clue, but if I find out who’s undercover, who they have working for us, then I can find out if they are trying to frame us, you know? My father would surely die if we lost the business over some lies. Right? You get me?” His grin makes him look evil, but his eyes look as if he finds this humorous. Apparently he thinks he’s pulling one over on me.

  “So, you what? Want me to hack into their records and find out who it is?” Paulie steeples his hands in front of him as he leans back in the wooden chair.

  “Exactly. I just want to protect my business.” His smile widens, as if that were even possible.

  “I’m not sure. I mean, I can get arrested for doing something like that. I think hacking is like a federal crime or something. I don’t want to get in trouble or go to jail.”

  Paulie sighs and shifts forward again.

  “I’m willing to pay you twenty thousand dollars to just find me the info. I have some state of the art equipment. No one will be able to trace it back to you. I just don’t have anyone with the computer skills to do this. So, are you in, or are you out?” His hands move beneath the table. If it weren’t for my great hearing, I would have never known he just cocked his gun. The fucker has it pointing right at my dick as we speak. If I say no, he’s going to shoot me. Even if I say yes and can some way bungle through this, he’s probably still going to shoot me. I can’t think of any way out of this situation alive. Needing to stall him until we find out more info, I pretend to think on his offer. If I can do this, and get him info, I can try to make myself invaluable to him. That would buy us time to get info on the deals to bust him, or time to get Candace extracted from this case. Shit, I have no choice. Die now or try to stay alive later.

  “Sure man, I guess I could use the money. Maybe use it to move out to LA with my girl, ya know?” He releases the catch on his gun, stands up and I watch, wide eyed as he shoves it into the waist of his dress pants.

  “Great man, I’ll come pick you up tomorrow morning and we’ll get started. Let me know if you need anything,” he says, tossing a business card at me.

  “Ok man, I’ll see you tomorrow. I’m gonna go say bye to Candace and head home. I wanna check out my new game.” He slaps my back, catching me off guard. I almost fall forward, catching myself on the back of my chair. His laughter fills the room. I follow him to the living room, which is so small it barely fits her couch.

  “Hey Candace, thanks for inviting me over. I’m gonna head home now. I’ll see you around,” she smiles at me as Paulie throws himself next to her, pulling her body into his lap.

  “Okay Dominic, thanks for stopping by. We’re neighbors so I’m sure I’ll see you around.” I leave as they start to make out, letting myself through the door. Yuk, I would hate to have her job. That man is a disgrace to men all over the world. I can’t wait to put his ass in jail.

  Chapter 5

  Watching Dominic leave was hard. All I wanted to do is shout at him, scream for him to run fast and far away. But I can’t do it. I’d blow my cover and we would both end up dead. As the door shuts behind him, I glance at Paulie and plaster a fake smile on my face. He slips his arm around me as I sit in his lap. Sighing, I resign myself to the fact that we will most likely be having sex tonight. As I stand to go grab another beer, Paulie’s phone rings.

  “Babe, grab me a beer would you? I need to take this.” Nodding, I move quickly from the room, but pause outside the doorway, listening.

  “What? How the hell do you lose an old man? He was injured. Find him, or it’s your head. Yea, I’m with my bitch right now. I’ll be there as soon as I can,” he slams his phone on the table and I scurry away. As I close the fridge, he stomps into the kitchen. He grabs my neck, pulling me in for a sloppy, nicotine tasting kiss. My stomach turns.

  “Babe¸ I’ll see you tomorrow. I gotta go take care of some things at the office. Make breakfast. I gotta come pick Dom up anyways.”

  As soon as he leaves, I rush to my bathroom to brush my teeth and gargle. Grrr, I can’t stand him. How the hell does this man keep finding women to fall for his bullshit? Oh, that’s right. He has money and preys on weak women who think that’s ok to be treated like a toy. I can’t wait for this case to be over so I can knee him in that dick he likes to use so much. I may even put on my heels and step on it. I unzip my dress and let it flutter to the ground, pooling around my feet.

  “Wow, you, wow. I have to say you’re hotter now than when you were in that club.” Jumping at the sound of Dom’s voice, I turn, feeling my face burn with anger. No point in covering myself or being modest. I’m a stripper now for fucks sake. He’s leaning against the bathroom door wearing a Star Trek shirt and basketball shorts.

  “What the hell are you doing in here?”

  “I came to talk to you. I didn’t expect you to be undressing.” How the hell had I not heard hi
m come in? It’s creepy.

  “You can’t use that escape route like your own little entry to my place whenever you want.”

  “You sure about that?” he asks me. His husky voice lowers as he takes a step towards me. “You don’t seem to mind too much or you would have thrown me out already,” he whispers. His hand caresses my cheek and God help me, I turn my face, nuzzling it. His spicy scent surrounds me as he leans in closer. His lips brush my neck, soft lips kissing my shoulder, my neck, up towards my mouth. My face turns towards him, against my will. I try so hard to turn away, but it’s like a magnet, I’m just drawn to him. Dominic’s tongue licks at my lips, pushing them apart, then he crushes them with his. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I move my body against his. I can feel the hard muscle under his clothing, his hard cock grinding into my stomach. There’s a moaning sound and I can’t tell if it’s from me or him. Our mouths tango, tongues twisting, caressing each other from the inside. He tastes like heaven. Being with Paulie, I’ve forgotten what it’s like to truly enjoy a male touching me, tasting me. His rough hands grab my waist, lifting me up. I wrap him in my legs, holding tight around his hips. He backs out of the bathroom slowly, our mouths still connecting. Groping, kissing frantically, it’s like we’re teenagers. I pull away and stare into his hooded eyes, glazed over with lust.

  “Have you, I mean, are you,” I stutter, trying to figure out a way to ask him if he’s had sex before. Sure he looks like a sex god, but he’s still Geek Boy.

  “I’m not a virgin, trust me, this, I’ve done,” he tells me, laughing. He sounds so cocky for a moment that it’s hard to believe this is the same shy man I met just a day ago. Man, that thought makes me feel slutty. I’ve never hopped into bed with a man I just met.

  “Sorry, I guess, I just wasn’t sure.”

  “Shhh,” he quiets me, tossing me onto my bed. Standing over me, the man looks rock solid. He grabs at his shirt, lifting it over his head and I feel my pussy soak my panties. Dominic has a seriously hot body. Shoulders that could block out the sun, toned arms, and that chiseled stomach. Now’s my chance to lick it. Sitting up, I grab his hips, moving him closer to me. He looks down at me, not making a move to stop me.

  My tongue licks at my lips as I stare up at his face. I duck my head, running my moistened tongue along the ridges of his abs. I feel his body shudder and his cock twitches beneath my chest. I wiggle my shoulders a little to rub my breasts against him. His skin prickles under the warm wetness of my tongue. His hands push on my shoulders, laying me on my back. I watch as his shorts drop, the rest of his body looking just as yummy. Oh man, that is one large cock. It’s practically bursting at the material of his boxers still holding it. My clit throbs, wanting to feel it, to have it inside of me. Climbing on top of me, the bed sinks as Dominic kisses his way up from my waist. The soft touch of him tickles my skin, making me giggle and squirm.

  “You’re so gorgeous.” He whispers to me, his breath heating the skin of my stomach. Dominic grabs at the black lace bra I had on, tugging until my breasts fall free. He slips out of the boxers, his beautiful cock bouncing free. It’s thick and looks tasty. My tongue darts out, licking at my lips. He takes my already sensitive nipple, his tongue swirls around it, causing the bud to harden. His teeth scrape at it. The sensations course through my body like electricity, shooting straight down to my pussy. I feel like a bomb about to burst.

  My insides clench with anticipation. His hard body covers mine, those soft lips moving up from my nipple to my mouth again. The crushing kiss has me quivering. My legs would be shaking if only he wasn’t pinning them down.

  “I need,” I pant, trying to get the words out.

  “Shhh, I know what you need,” Dominic says. His hands slide down my sides, sending goose bumps prickling my skin. I feel his fingers circling my clit as he lifts himself from my body. I grab onto the blanket, twisting it in my hands. His fingers deftly maneuver, circling, stroking me. Waves of pleasure build inside of me then like a tidal wave, come crashing down in the form of an orgasm.

  “I love the look on your face when you lose control.” His words pull me out of my blissful coma. I hear a foil open, then feel his cock pressing at my opening. “You’re so wet for me, soft and warm.” He nudges my legs farther apart, grabbing his cock to shove inside of me. Inch by inch he pushes further inside, my body opening to fit him. He fills me and it’s such a blissful feeling. This man certainly knows what he’s doing in bed. Wonder if he learned it from a game.

  As he gets all the way in, I shift my hips, trying to help him fit.

  “Please, fuck me,” I moan. His growl of acknowledgement signals the beginning of his thrusts. As he pulls from me, I desperately want him back inside. The slow torturous strokes of his cock have my body quickly filling my tidal pool of pleasure. His lips seek mine out, stealing my breath away. His kisses caress my mouth like flames from a fire and his hands twist my nipples. The overload of sensation crests, spilling over into another orgasm. My screams are muffled by his mouth. His tongue licking at my lips. His movements quicken as he thrusts himself harder into my core. Our breathing gets harder as we pant in unison. My bed scrapes along the wooden floor of my room. As he slams his cock inside of me, he shifts his hips, rubbing against my already swollen clit. My sensitive body climbs once again to that point, the edge of the cliff. With one final push, he shoves me over into bliss as I feel him stiffen as he releases into me.

  Dominic rolls off of me, pulling my sweaty body against his. His hard muscle surrounds me. I’m shaking, quivering all over. He kisses my forehead, murmuring against me.

  “Amazing. Your body is heaven.”

  “I can’t believe we just did that. Geek boy, please, don’t go with him tomorrow. He’s going to kill you.”

  “I’ll be fine, I promise.”

  “How do you know that? You don’t know anything about these guys. You aren’t a cop, you don’t have this kind of training. Even I feel over my head sometimes. The things I’ve seen him do, and can’t arrest him for yet, it’s bad, they are horrible people.”

  “Shh, it’s okay. I’ll be fine.” I scramble from the bed, rushing to the bathroom. I feel like crying and that’s one thing I won’t do. I won’t allow myself to be weak. I can’t afford it. When I’m weak, I put my life at risk. Thankfully their drop is tomorrow. I just need to find out where. When.

  Dominic knocks on the door.

  “Are you okay Candace?” I open the door, gazing into his face. Without his glasses, he looks like one of those jocks I see at the gym all the time. Those full of themselves jerks that know they are hot. He smiles at me with that crooked boyish grin. He put his shorts back on. My eyes wander over the V of his waist, that lovely mass of muscles that points directly to the pleasure zone. He’s even getting hard again as I stand here naked. His eyes take in the sight of my body and my heart flutters. What the hell? A good fuck and I’m suddenly a school girl with a crush again? This can never be. I live too dangerous a life to have someone innocent like him involved. I can’t do it.

  “Was there a reason you snuck back in here tonight? Or did you just want to get laid? I mean, don’t you have a girlfriend you were all gung ho about earlier tonight?” The smile drops from his face and I see the lines of worry that mar his forehead.

  “Don’t do that, don’t shut me out. It’s okay for you to live a little. Your whole life isn’t this case.”

  “My life is this case. I’m living this case. I have to or I end up dead,” my hands start shaking. He takes a step back. “What did you want?”

  “I came to give you something, and she lives in LA. We’re just talking. It’s not like I’m cheating. Hell, I don’t even think her and I will go anywhere.”

  “What do you need to show me?” He pulls a flash drive from his shorts pocket.

  “Where’s your laptop?”

  Setting the computer up in my kitchen, he pops the drive in, pulling up an audio file.

  “I recorded tonight’s whole conversation with
me and Paulie. It can be used as evidence, proof of things he’s doing. Hacking into police files, I told you, it’s a federal offense. You can use this right? I figured if it worked tonight, then I can use it tomorrow.”

  “How the hell did you manage this?”

  “Hey, when you’re single and have money, you get to buy all sorts of geeky toys. I bought this cool recorder, it’s like a band aid, and no one can tell it has a mic and transmitter in it, it’s so small. Not even the army has this technology. Someone made it for the CIA, but it’s still in testing. Guess it works huh?”

  “How the hell did you get your hands on it then?”

  “I have friends from online. Lots of friends. From all over.” He flashes those teeth at me again and I feel like I should rub his head and tell him he’s a good boy. I hit play, listening to Paulie tell Geek boy exactly what he wants him to do. He laid it all out. This is going to be some very damning evidence, if the attorneys can get it to be allowed. But that’s not my problem.

  “Thank you, so much.” I grab the flash drive, heading to my room.

  “Where are you going with that? Shouldn’t I hold on to it, so that he doesn’t find it here?”

  “No, I have a safe, he won’t find it. Besides, I guarantee when you’re with him tomorrow, he’ll have someone here snooping through your shit.” His eyes darken and he looks away. His hands start fidgeting.

  “Look, it’s late, Paulie will most likely be here early for you tomorrow, and I need to spend my morning trying to figure out where Hanson is and how to save him, as well as finding out where their drug drop is. You should go.” I wave him back towards the bedroom where he scoops up his shirt. He wedges himself through the hole.

  “Wait, here, don’t you need these,” I wave his glasses in the air. He acts like he can see perfectly without them. Maybe he just needs them for reading or something. Or maybe something doesn’t feel right about this. My heart skips a few beats as I begin to fear him being a plant from Paulie. And I just let him screw me. If Paulie knows, we’re both dead. Sirocco doesn’t take to anyone easily, he doesn’t trust. Maybe he took to Dom so quick because Dom works for him already. He takes the glasses from me and grins.
