  She nods, "no sex?"

  I laugh, "No. He hasn't even hinted at sex. My nipples wish he would, I can't wait to try them out." She laughs at that. "We've been doing friend stuff. I have to say, I love it. He's getting back to that funny guy I didn't even realize left. I'm really happy that he's getting back to the old Danny."

  She puts her spatulas down and hugs me. "You deserve the best of whoever you end up with. It sounds like your happy again. Don't you dare settle." She says with a stern look.

  I crack up and hand her the spatula. I think about what she said, I am happy. Maybe it's time to make a decision. Who am I kidding, I didn't stand a chance. I was always his.

  Danny

  "Looks like Kate is still talking to you brother." Pres says on the side of me. Shit I didn't hear the door.

  I've been on the porch going over our date conversation since we got here. She's thinking about going on a date with me. She's been on dates with every fuckin body but still has to think about it with me. I can't figure what the fuck I'm doing wrong. She seems like she's happy with me. "Yeah. Just standing here thinking about that."

  "Heard you've moved back home." Fuck I don't need another fuckin lecture right now.

  "Yeah, I needed to get my fuckin life back together."

  "That's good brother." He puts his hand on my shoulder. I finally look at him. "Nothing wrong with living on the edge after what you went through. I'm glad you're reeling yourself back in though. I fuckin hate that intervention shit Rob comes to me with." He smiles at me. Fuckin Pres.

  "It was Rob that made me realize I needed to get my head out of my ass." I shake my head with a smile. I see no judgment in his eyes. "We've been working on being friends again. I needed time to get back to me and she needs the time to decide if she still wants me." Fuck this isn't something I want to talk about. I look back at the water.

  "Sounds like you're working together to make it right." I can hear the smile in his voice.

  "She has a date with Len from her work tonight."

  "Fuck brother. I know that's got to hurt but look at it from her side. While you were playing everything with a pussy she never sampled to know what she really wants. Len is a good test. He's a good man, but if your girl loves you, it won't matter." He's so fuckin smart but I really don't want to hear about how good of a man fuckin Len is.

  "I know you're right and I know this is no less than I deserve. Doesn't make it any easier."

  "Come to the club tonight. Steve put together a poker game and I got a couple of jobs for you." He slaps my back and goes back in the house. Another indication I'm not really welcome by VP. My brother in law put together another fuckin game but didn't give me an invite, again.

  I take deep breaths and try to clear my head. Poker will keep me busy, might as well go. I haven't been at the club much since I moved out. With the work at the house and all the plans I'm running, I haven't spent time with anyone but the boys, Petey and Kate. It will be good to have my Brothers around.

  Kate

  I feel like I'm in a bad movie of the week. I'm finding more to love about Danny every day and I'm going on a date with Len. I'm not even nervous. The clothes we bought are all daring but tasteful and I feel more confident because of them. Choosing a royal blue wrap dress I feel comfortable and confident.

  Len takes me to the Warf in Newport. I want to roll my eyes when he pulls in. I'm wondering if the wait staff recognizes me and realize I'm smiling at all of them. Len talks work the entire time. I try to change the subject but he always manages to bring me right back to work. After a while I stop talking and just nod at him. Finally we get the bill. He asks if I thought he could expense it, he laughs when I say he talked work the whole dinner, like I'm making a joke. Holy crap! He is too handsome to be so freakin boring. He pulls me into the banquet room and we dance for two songs. He's not as good a dancer as Jared and I'm ready to be done with this date. I shouldn't have even kept it. Walking back to the car he stops and bends to kiss me. I turn so he hits my cheek. There has got to be some man book that tells guys what to do on a date. Every freakin one of them must read it, they all put out the same moves.

  "I'm sorry Len. I'm just not feeling like we connect with anything more than work." I keep my eyes on his, he looks relieved.

  "I wanted to see. I felt like I was trying too hard tonight. I haven't had a date like this since I was in my teens. I'm sorry Kate."

  I smile, "the only way we would have found out is by going on the date. I have to say, it is the second time I've come to this place and had the same reaction. I don't think I'll ever come back here."

  He cracks up. "The man who is your match is one lucky son of a bitch." He puts his arm on my shoulder getting us to the car. We have a really nice chat while he drives me home. I'm relieved that we aren't awkward with each other.

  He walks me to the door, "if you ask me to go to a wedding with you the answer is no."

  He just smiles, "the de ja vu guy?" I nod. He kisses my cheek and waits until I lock my door before he walks back to his car.

  My thoughts are on Danny. I want to talk to him, tell him I'm ready for more. Since it's only ten I grab the phone and call him. "Kate, everything ok?" I hear a woman's laugh and deep voices in the background.

  "Yes, I didn't mean to interrupt you. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Shit, he's at the club.

  "Are you at home?" He asks. He must have walked outside, the background noise is gone.

  "Yeah but it's not important. I'll talk to you tomorrow." I feel tears burning my eyes. I hang up. I don't want to think right now. I head to the kitchen in search of something to numb my mind. I pour whiskey in a glass and jump sloshing it on my hand when someone knocks on my door.

  Opening it I'm surprised to see him. He's so handsome; it hurts to see him standing there. "I didn't mean to interrupt your night. It was nothing important." I say embarrassed and sad all at the same time.

  He stops smiling, "did you call me?" I nod. "You're as important as it gets for me. Since you didn't want to talk on the phone, I came over." He puts his hands on my waist and moves me back so he can come in. Damn, that gets my heart pumping. "Mind if I have one too? It's been a stressful night. You look beautiful in blue. I like this dress." He points me toward the kitchen and pours himself a glass while sitting at the breakfast bar.

  I haven't said a word yet. I don't even know what to say, he's got me so turned on. I wanted to talk to him, but him being at the club threw me. I just sit and wait.

  "Beautiful Kate, it hurts knowing I put that look of surprise on your face. There was a time when people knew they could count on me. I fucked that up and let so many people down, including myself. I was seeing disappointment in my friend’s eyes every day, but when I see it in yours it hurts. I'm sorry I put it there. I'm so sorry I hurt you." He looks down at his drink.

  "I thought I could show you I've changed by being your friend but I can't. I can't do this anymore." He's looking at me but I have to look away. I feel tears again. He turns my face so I look at him again. "I don't want to be your friend K. I don't want to spend the night with the Brothers playing poker to keep me from going fuckin crazy. I don't want you on another fuckin date with Jared or Len or anyone else. I want you. I want you all in. I'll spend the rest of my fuckin life proving to you that I'm all in. I won't touch another woman K. I promise you I won't ever hurt you like that again." He stops talking and watches my eyes.

  Holy fuck! What am I supposed to say to that? I thought he was walking away. I'm caught off guard and take a breath. "I'm ready to try again." I say with a smile.

  He grabs me pulling me to him so I'm on his lap being hugged tight. I hit his arm, "loosen up, I can't breathe." He does then kisses me slow and thoroughly. Leaving my lips and nipples tingling. A shiver runs down my spine, there's the freakin spark.

  I lay my head on his shoulder. "Do you want to stay?" I'm nervous but can't wait for him to see my new jewelry.

  "No K, I'm heading home. We have some things to t
alk about tomorrow. I'll be over early." He must see the confusion in my eyes. "I'll call you when I get home beautiful K. I'm trying to keep from throwing you in the shower and washing Len's fuckin cologne off you."

  I giggle. "We went dancing, nothing more."

  "Don't care." He kisses my head and slams his drink back. Pulling me to the door he kisses me again then locks the door behind him. I run into the bathroom and take a shower. I'm out with a smile on by the time he calls.

  Chapter Eleven

  One week…

  Fuckin hell. I'm late to pick up Kate and I'm just now helping Patches get up the stairs to Rich's place. I can't do anything but wait. We finally get in the apartment and I get him settled on the couch. It's the perfect place for a single guy to recuperate. "I filled the fridge; try not to mix your meds with too much beer. It will slow down the healing process. Meds are on the counter by the fridge. The cleaning service comes twice a week. The CNA is due tomorrow morning to change bandages. Old ladies are cooking for you. Nancy will keep them from visiting until you say you're ready. I got your phone right there on the table. Call me anytime, I'll be here. Nancy will come up on her way home then in the morning when she gets in. I wrote everything I just told you down, just in case your meds are really good. Anything else you need?"

  "To tell you the truth, I'd just like to veg out in front of the TV for a while. I'll read the note later. Thanks for doing this. Are you coming by tomorrow?" He says looking exhausted from the stairs but hopeful I'll show up.

  "You know it Brother. I'll be here for lunch. I'm picking up grinders from Morro's. Heard you had a craving."

  He smiles, "thanks Danny. I'm sick of fuckin bland hospital food."

  Putting my hand on his shoulder, "call me if you need anything." I hand him the TV control and head out the door.

  On my way down the stairs I call Kate. "I'm sorry K. Patches had some trouble on the stairs. I'll be there in five."

  "I'll see you when you get here." I can hear the smile in her voice.

  I'm wondering if I should give her the doctor’s report or just tell her about it. I don't want to fuck this up. I've been holding her off all week. I pull into her driveway and she runs down the stairs with a smile on. She jumps in as I put it in park. "Excited to see me?" She laughs. "I love seeing that smile." I tell her as I pull her over to me.

  "I realized today that I have never been happier than I have been over this last month. So I'm glad you like the smile, I think it's permanent."

  I kiss her showing that I appreciate it. Pulling apart we're both breathing heavy. "We need to get going if we want to eat tonight." Fuck, I could pound nails with my dick right now.

  "Where are we going?" She asks while buckling in the middle seat.

  "I like you sitting beside me. There's a place in Newport I've been wanting to take you to." I tell her as I grab her hand.

  "Oh no, not the Wharf!" She looks horrified.

  "No, I hate that place. This is a little Italian place off the main road. They do all kinds of fresh vegetables and noodles."

  "Thank God. It sounds great, I love 'noodles'. I usually call it pasta though. Thank you." She laughs while squeezing my hand.

  "Thank you for what?" I'm not sure I want to know about the Wharf.

  "You thought about what I would like. Thank you." She has a sweet smile on.

  I want to turn the fuck around and drag her to bed. Fuck, I got to get my head away from the fuckin bed. We talk about the shelter house. She'll be bringing women in this week. I think it was a genius move to get a house in the backyard. Her women will be protected at all times.

  We have a block to walk to the restaurant. Kate looks in an antique store window at a miniature captains house. When she turns to me I see her nipples. I can't take my eyes off them. The wind has her blouse plastered tight against her body. "Kate, tell me about the jewelry I'm looking at." Holy fuck I'm hard with just a look. I look in her eyes.

  She has the biggest fuckin smile on. "Well, I told you I was ready for more, I'm not sure you got that I meant a lot more. I'm glad I got your attention. I've been dying for you to see my new jewelry. I love them. My nipples were really sensitive. I read and Jess confirmed that piercings double the feelings. Jess said they're like a pleasure button. Nancy agreed, then pierced my nipples." Holy Fuck! That's all, just like that. Fuck.

  "When did you do this?" I can't believe I'm able to talk, all my fuckin blood is rushing to my dick.

  "The night Patches was found."

  "The night Patches was found. At the club, you did this in VPs rooms?"

  She's looking at me confused. "Yes. Nancy was there, she did it then."

  "Has anyone seen your jewels?" My fuckin brain is begging for a no.

  "Well yeah, Nancy, Jess and Tracy." She smiles.

  "Nancy, Jess and Tracy." No other guy is ever fuckin seeing my Kate's big fuckin nipples with jewels in them. I grab her hand and start walking, turning toward the water. She's had jewelry since Patches was found. I am such a fuckin dick.

  "Where are we going?"

  It takes me a second to catch her question and realize I need to give her an answer. "The Wharf. I hate that place but they have a family bathroom so I can see how fuckin sensitive your nipples are with their jewels."

  She laughs. "They're very sensitive. I've been trying them out."

  Fuck! I feel like a cartoon guy, feet skidding digging a path to stop himself from hitting a light pole. I stop short and look at her nipples then her face. I don't think I can walk and talk at the same time. "You tried them out?" The fuckin pictures going through my head. I shake it and look at her.

  The fuckin smile again. "Yes, they really are more sensitive. I can come without touching anything but my nipples."

  I don't know how I'm fuckin standing. I growl and kiss her. I can't get that picture out of my fuckin head. I let her mouth go and continue to the Wharf. She's giggling. Fuckin Beautiful.Kate.

  I walk right in and into the bathroom dragging her with me. Once I lock the door I pull her blouse off. "My fuckin beautiful Kate is walking around with no bra and pierced fuckin nipples, trying to get my fuckin attention." I whisper. I can't get past the sight of her big nipples with the pretty pink jewels. "Your beautiful nipples are fuckin gorgeous K." I hear the hoarseness in my voice. "I have to touch you K. I can't wait." I look in her eyes. She's smiling. "I promised myself I wouldn't touch you until I was sure I had a clean slate for us to start from. I'm clean Kate, I got the results today. I have to touch you now." She nods. I slide my hands up from her waist to her fuckin tits. Holy fuck! "I'm going to come from touching your nipples beautiful Kate."

  She fuckin giggles then moans as I touch the jewels. She unbuckles and unzips my pants. "If we're both going to come from you touching my nipples at least come inside me." She's already starting to suck in breaths. Fuck.

  "Holy fuck, K you're killing me here. I don't have a rubber. Let me make you come baby. I want to see how sensitive your beautiful jeweled nipples are." She's moaning as I'm messaging just outside of her nipple.

  "I get the shot. We don't need a condom. Fuck, please." Her eyes are glazed.

  I lift her skirt and pull her panties off. Standing I lift and slide her on to me. "Holy fuck. I'm not going to last baby, you feel so fuckin good."

  She puts her hand on her tit and squeezes offering me her nipple. "Please put your mouth on me, I want to feel what your tongue is like on the jewel." Fuck, no one’s mouth has been here.

  I moan and take her in, feathering my tongue around her jewel. Her pussy clenches and I moan again, fuck I'm going to come without moving. I suck harder. She cries out. I turn her so her back is to the wall. I have one hand under her ass and the other on her other tit. Her pussy clenches down. I feel my balls draw up. "Put your hands on them baby. Show me how you want me to touch them."

  She moans sliding her hands up. Fuck! She's ready. "It feels best in your mouth. Please." She's breathing heavy.

  "Fuck baby, your clenchi
ng me so fuckin hard." I put my mouth back on her, sucking soft, flipping the jewel. When she clenches and cries out, I suck harder squeezing her other tit. She screams. Holy fuck! I pump into her once and growl out a 'fuck'. She's squeezing my dick, milking my come out of me.

  I turn us so my back is on the wall before I fall. Fuckin K. "Fuck baby your pussy's still squeezing my dick." Her head is on my chest, she's still moaning softly every time her pussy clenches. I'm not pulling out until she stops. "I fuckin love to see you come my Beautiful K."

  I take a couple of deep breaths. Fuck, I came hard and didn't fuckin move. I just got a punch in my fuckin man card. There's got to be a rule against it somewhere. I kiss her head. I think she remembers I'm here. She lifts her head kissing my chest then lays it back on me. My fuckin Kate is wiped. Her clenching is slowing down. She got her beautiful nipples pierced. I kiss her head again. I love this woman. I think I've loved her for a while, it just now hits me how much I love her. I feel the need to protect her and keep her happy. Fuck, where the fuck is all this coming from?

  She lifts her head again. She has the biggest fuckin smile on, her eyes still dazed. That's where it's coming from. I can't help but smile. "That was awesome. I've never felt anything like that. Your mouth feels better than anything else I've done to them." She says slowly. I want to keep that fuckin smile on her face forever. My mouth feels best. Fuckin beautiful K.

  Holy fuck, I get the fuckin pictures again. "It was beautiful K. I came touching your jewels baby. What a fuckin surprise. Thank you." I kiss her showing her how much I appreciate her. Her pussy clenches and I have to pull my mouth off her. I chuckle. "Baby, I think the first time they'll overlook, the second might be pushing it. Let me clean you up and feed you. We can play with your jewels when we get home. You can show me everything you've done trying them out." I wink at her.

  "Ok, but I still don't want to eat here." She looks so serious.

  I laugh while sliding out of her. I clean her up and we leave like we own the place. I feed my girl her noodles and take her home to play with her fuckin jewelry.
