Due to the arrest of my uncle yesterday, I was unable to go look at properties for the new salon I want to open, and for PNS2. I can’t believe I’ve started calling my shop that. It still sounds like penis.

Since Ridge stayed last night, he decided to go with me this morning to look at properties. It only takes two stops before I know we’ve found it. It’s only three blocks from the apartments, which is perfect. It’s old and needs a lot of work, but I can see it. Chandeliers, glossy black chairs, antique salon items, oversized mirrors, it’ll be perfect. The best part? It’s so big, we can easily convert a third of it into the new Puff‘N Stuff 2. This building and location is exactly what I was looking for.

I call Ben and make arrangements for him to meet me here later in the week so we can discuss plans and ideas. “How long is beautician school?”

“I don’t know, Hot Lips. I haven’t looked into it recently.”

“Hush it, Ridge. Look it up on your phone.”

He pulls his phone out of his back pocket and begins to type away. “Why do you need to know this?”

I turn in a circle, looking at everything that needs to be repaired. “Because this is going to take a lot longer than a few months to get ready.”

Ridge puts his phone away. “Then it’s a good thing beauty school is nine months long.”

“Eh, that might be enough time.”

“You don’t have to go crazy in here, Alice.” I look at him, giving him my best ‘do you even know me’ look. He just chuckles and draws me into his arms. “Forgive me. What was I thinking, asking you to not go overboard? The nerve of me.”

“Shut up, you big brute. It’s going to be amazing when we’re finished with it.”

“Of course it will be. Come on, let's get you home. You didn’t get much rest last night and you need to get off of that foot.”

“I wonder why I didn’t get any rest,” I mumble to myself.

Ridge parks in front of my house and carries me inside. Instead of stopping, he heads right out the back door. “Where are we going?”

“You are going to stop and relax for a bit. You’re barely out of the hospital with a broken ankle and a boot on your foot. We’re going to get in this hot tub, and I’m not letting you out until I can’t see any more tension in your body.”

“Is that an order?”

Ridge smacks me on my butt. “You better believe it is. Now strip, so I can help get that boot off and get you in.”

“I can’t take the boot off.”

Ridge smirks. “The doc said you can take it off to shower as long as you’re not standing on it. I will carry you in and out of the hot tub.”

I shrug. “Makes sense to me.”

After removing our clothes and my horrible boot, Ridge lifts me up and places me on the hot tub seat. He slides in next to me and we both sit back and relax. I feel his hand land on my thigh and he begins to rub it up and down.

“Are you relaxed yet?” Ridge asks.

“Well, I was until you started rubbing my leg.”

He smirks at me moving his hand farther up my thigh. I spread my legs hoping that he will take the hint, and boy does he. He slips two fingers between my folds and grabs the back of my neck pulling me to him. Each brother has their own special way with me, but Ridge is by far the best kisser. His expert tongue guides mine in a passionate kiss, while teasing my throbbing pussy with his elegant fingers. My body warms up and my thighs are slick with my wetness. He removes his fingers and lifts my body onto the ledge. He positions himself between my legs being careful to not jostle my ankle. When I feel his tip at my entrance I moan in anticipation. He enters me with one hard thrust and my walls clamp down on him reflexively. He wastes no time pounding into me, and all I can do his grab on to his shoulders and enjoy the hard fucking that relaxes me more than a hot tub ever could. We reach our orgasms together, and are both truly relaxed and exhausted. Ridge gently picks me up and kisses me with such adoration I feel it all the way down to my bones. He dries my body swiftly and puts my boot back on. After drying his own body he carries me bridal style back to my bedroom and we fall fast asleep tangled in each other’s arms.
