Leo

I watched her sleep and there was something about the freedom in which she laid there that really did something to me. She slept like there was nothing in the world to worry about and at the moment I bet that there wasn’t. She had made a puddle in the bed underneath her and I was going to take that as a sign that I had done my job right. I had never had a woman scream like Celia had done and I hadn’t ever felt so much pleasure from another’s pleasure in my whole life. What had this woman done to me? I kept asking myself that question over and over again and there was a part of me that was sure that she had put some kind of spell over me. Ever since I had seen her the first time at the club, there had been something drawing me to her that I was unable to understand. I didn’t want to understand it, just that I knew I was stuck with these feelings.

She moved a couple of times and made a groaning sound. I worried that I had been too rough on her, even though she had egged me on the whole way. I was always so proud of the fact that I could hold onto my control, but I had lost it with Celia. I hadn’t been able to calm myself down and now I felt a little bad about it. She had liked it, that much was clear, but it wasn’t clear was what I was going to do now. I was in new territory and I didn’t know what came next. I couldn’t sleep and I found myself perfectly content to watch her sleep. She was so peaceful and it just made me feel good inside to know that I had done that to her. It was certainly a reason to feel satisfied.

The phone rang and I was so intent on watching her that it made me jump. I cursed whoever it was on the other line, but then I realized that it was Grey. I was on call after all and even though he hadn’t called in a while, it didn’t mean that I wasn’t his driver this late at night.

I took the phone into the other room and talked low.

“Hey Grey, what’s up?”

I was afraid that he was going to need me to run out for diapers or something. It wasn’t something that he would usually call me up for, but since he didn’t dabble with the random ladies anymore, I wasn’t sure what he wanted.

“I am in a jam Leo. I need you to come help me out.”

He was talking as he had before and my radar went up. “Of course Grey. What is going on?”

The man sighed and it didn’t take much to realize that Grey had gotten himself into a spot of trouble. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but I knew that I wasn’t going to leave him hanging. I told him that I would be there soon; not even hearing what it was that he needed from me. It wasn’t until I went back into the bedroom to collect my clothes that I remembered I had Celia there. I didn’t want to leave her, especially after what had went on between us, but I didn’t see me having much of a choice. I wanted her as soon as she woke up, I wanted her now, but I was going to have to wait, no matter how much I didn’t want to.

Leaving her a note, telling her that I would be back in a little while, I hoped that she was going to be there when I got back. I wasn’t above tracking her down again if I had to though and I was sure that she knew that. After what had transpired between us, I didn’t think that I had to worry about her disappearing. She was mine now and I was sure that I had made the case for myself. After everything that happened here, she should be mine for good.

Damn I didn’t want to go. I looked down at her naked body one last time before I left and locked the door behind me. I wanted to stay, but duty called. All I could think to myself was that Grey better have some good reason for pulling me out of bed in the middle of the night.

When I got to Grey’s place, I talked to the doorman and he seemed to be as upset as Grey had been. There was a woman that was down there with him and after he rang up Grey, I was clear what I was supposed to do. This was an old fling of his and she didn’t want to leave without seeing him and going upstairs. Grey wasn’t going to let that happen because his wife and child were upstairs and once again I was supposed to get her home and out of his hair.

“You owe me a bonus for this one Grey. I have that little honey at my house right now.”

“Well if she isn’t passed out on your bed, you are doing something wrong.”

The smile on my face must have given me away because he was exactly right. She was passed out on my bed at the moment, but I worried that she might be gone soon. If I got back and she wasn’t there I wasn’t going to be too happy. I told Grey that and he kind of smiled. “If you did her right, she should be out till morning.”

I growled at him and he just laughed. “Don’t get your panties in a bunch Leo. I am sure she will be there when you get back. Just take care of this for me. If Cameron knew that this woman was down here she would freak out and I don’t want to have to call the cops. Come on, one last time for old time’s sake.”

I agreed and I told him I would, but he did owe me. “I will call you when I get her home safe.”

“Good, I will see you in the morning. Give me a ring when it is taken care of.”

This wasn’t my first go round with this sort of thing with Grey, but it had been a while since I had been put in this circumstance. I thought I recognized her from before, but I didn’t want to pretend that I knew who she was. It was hard for me to figure out one woman from the next because at the end of the day, they all pretty much looked the same. She was beautiful, all of Grey’s women were, but she didn’t stand out amongst the ones I had met in the past.

“Cassie.”

“Right, sorry. I knew that I had seen you before.”

“Yes, you were told to take me home last time Grey was done with me.”

I didn’t know what to say to that. She looked sad and I hated to be the man that did this, but it was better than the police being called and I was going to have to hold to that. I didn’t want to be that guy anymore, even though I had not but a few weeks ago decided that I wanted this more than the mundane driving job that I had now. Now that I had Celia waiting for me and my eyes had been opened, I didn’t want to deal with these women anymore or Grey’s bachelor life.

“He is married now Cassie.”

“But I am pregnant with his child.”

She didn’t look pregnant, but I couldn’t be sure. If she was, it wasn’t that far along and it meant that Grey was stepping out on his marriage. I couldn’t believe that, not after he was so involved in his family life, but I wasn’t here to judge. I was here to take her home and I told her that I just wanted to make sure she was home safe.

“You can call him in the morning to straighten it all out Ma’am. My only job is to make sure that you get home safely and that is what I am going to do.”

She waved me off and followed me out the door. I could tell she was mad, but she wasn’t going to get loud with me and that was enough. Cassie seemed nice and in a way I felt bad for her. Grey had broken a lot of hearts in his time and it wasn’t the first time that a woman had claimed to be pregnant by him. It was because they wanted to hold on to anything that they could, even if it meant that she wasn’t going to be able to hold onto her dignity.

“Where do you want to go?”

She gave me an address and sat back in the plush seats. She was tearing up and it made me feel worse. I hadn’t really thought about Grey as a bad guy, me either for that matter, but I could see now that our actions weren’t always the best. I had looked at women all wrong in the past. I think that falling for Celia had given me another way to look at things and I thought to myself how I didn’t want Celia to ever be as upset as Cassie was sitting behind me.

“Would you like a tissue?”

She told me that she didn’t, watching the night lights pass us by as she angrily wiped her eyes with the back of one finger.

“I just wanted him to talk to me. How hard is that? He didn’t have to call you out and embarrass me further. He could have just talked to me. A man makes love to you like that, there should be something more than a goodbye. He owes you something. I don’t care if he has moved on to the next one. It doesn’t mean that I didn’t exist at all and I don’t have any feelings.”

I felt for her, I really did, but I had always tried hard to stay out of this sort of thing. I didn’t want to get in it, but I felt like I had to say something.

“I am sure that he doesn’t feel that way Cassie, but Grey changed after he got married. He isn’t going out with anyone else.”

“Why didn’t he change for me though?”

It was a question that I didn’t have an answer to and I was dumbfounded at what to say. I really wasn’t good at this sort of thing, never had been. That was why I liked my women free or married. Then they wouldn’t want anything more to do with me when I was done.

The phone rang and I was relieved to get a distraction. I was hoping that it was Grey, since he was the one that got me involved in this sticky business in the first place, but instead it was Celia. She was the last person that I wanted to talk to right now and I wished I hadn’t answered the phone.

“Hey baby. I was hoping you would still be asleep.”

“I must have woken up when you left. How long are you going to be gone? Your note didn’t leave much information so I was wondering if I should leave or not?”

“No Celia, please don’t. I don’t want you to go anywhere. I just have to take care of something real quick and then I will be back.”

“You have to take care of something at three o clock in the morning?”

It looked bad, I knew that, but I didn’t want to tell her what was going on. I didn’t think she would appreciate it, especially after the last conversation that she had caught me in with Grey. I knew that he was a good guy that had changed his ways, but to her he was still cheating scum, maybe she saw me that way as well and I didn’t want her taking off again because of a misunderstanding.

“It is just something that I have to do for an employer.”

“Why don’t you tell her that you are just dropping off one of his whores? I bet that would make things easier Leo.”

I sighed as Cassie piped in from the back seat, but it was too late. Celia hung up and I had no illusions that she would be there when I got home. I had blown it or rather had it blown with her again and I was starting to really hate my job and Grey at the moment. How was I ever going to find and keep her, if I couldn’t keep my job away from her? Why did Grey get to be the good guy and now I was back to square one. More importantly, how was I going to explain this one away?
