Chris handed his houseguest, Amy, a cup of coffee and nodded at her quiet “Thank you.” Oren Travis had personally brought her to Chris’ ranch four days ago, telling Chris not to worry about work until the situation was resolved and that he would make sure the others stayed away without telling them what was happening.
Taking a sip of his coffee, Chris studied the young woman. She was quiet and a little unsure of herself, which under the circumstances was understandable. Amy was a key witness in an important DEA trial coming up soon. Unfortunately for Amy, the people she was to testify against were determined to stop her and had tried to kill her at each of her last three safe houses. Frank Peters was high up in the DEA and a close friend with AD Travis, so he turned to Oren for help. The two men had realized there had to be a leak within the DEA, so they’d come up with a new plan to keep their witness safe. Oren would take Amy and hide her somewhere safe, and Frank would set up another safe house, with a fake Amy to try to lure out the leak. Since interdepartmental cooperation was almost unheard off they figured no one would think of looking for her with another department. In order to reduce the chance of another leak, only three people - AD Travis, Chris, and Vin - knew the location of Amy.
The cover story was that Chris had some time sensitive reports that needed to be completed in two weeks. AD Travis had ordered him to lock himself in his home and not come out until he completed them. He also had ordered the rest of Team Seven to stay away from Chris’ ranch under the penalty of having to help with the paperwork; he knew they all hated paperwork so that would work. Vin was designated to run errands for Chris: shop for groceries, take care of the horses, and other tasks like that. Having one of the team that Chris had contact with would help keep the others away.
Chris had gotten Amy to open up and talk to him during the day but she seemed to close off at night - probably because all three attacks had happened at night. He was sure the fact that it was raining tonight didn’t help any.
Trying to get her to relax a little Chris smiled and said “Vin’s coming out tomorrow. Would you like me to ask him to bring you anything?”
“No, thank you,” Amy gave him a weak smile back. “You have everything I need here.”
Chris stood and grabbed a DVD off the shelf “Wanna watch The Incredibles? I haven’t seen it yet and hear it’s really funny. JD promised it’s not just for kids,” he smirked.
“Okay, sounds good,” Amy’s smile warmed up. “I never made it to the movies to see it and heard it was great.”
Amy felt herself relaxing as Chris’ laughter filled the room and warmed her battered soul. Soon Amy was laughing right along with Chris and for a little while was feeling normal again. She was paying as much attention to her protector as she was the movie, thinking what a beautiful smile he had and how this one man was making her feel safer than all fifteen of the DEA agents assigned to protect combined did. Somehow she knew he wouldn’t let anything happen to her.
After she retired for the night, Amy drifted off to sleep she hoped this would be the night she could finally sleep all night long again, she never had trouble sleeping before all of this happened. But then again she wouldn’t have met Chris if the unfortunate incident hadn’t, so there were rewards.
A scream woke Chris, jumping from his bed as he grabbed his gun Chris ran to Amy’s room dressed only in his boxers. Entering her room he knew right away she was trapped in a nightmare. Putting his gun down on the nightstand Chris turned on the light and gently shook Amy awake.
The first thing Amy saw was Chris and she immediately threw herself into his arms and sobbed on his broad shoulder. She felt his arms wrap around her gently stroking her back as he whispered calming words into her hair. Part of her knew she should pull back but a larger part relished his warm embrace and the safety it provided. Knowing how very much she needed to feel safe she snuggled tighter against his bare chest, feeling his arms tighten in response.
Chris was feeling a little guilty about how much he was enjoying the feeling of his charge in his arms. He knew he was treading on thin ice with just her light teddy between them but there was no way he could pull back while she needed him. Chris wasn’t sure how long he kept up with the whispering and stroking, until finally felt her start to pull back.
“I’m so sorry,” Amy started but Chris put a finger on her lips and smiled at her.
“No,” Chris told her in soft gentle tones “after what you’ve been through I’m just happy I can help you out.”
“You really are” Amy looked down, afraid if she kept looking at that smile she wouldn’t be able to resist throwing herself at him again. “I’m just so tense at night.”
“Vin told me a way to relax that he likes, wanna try it?” Chris asked her.
Amy smiled and nodded “I’m about ready to try anything.”
“Good, get your bathing suit on and join me in the living room” Chris started to stand up.
“Bathing suit?” Amy asked.
“Trust me,” Chris winked at her.
“I do” Amy laughed feeling a little better already. As he left the room she wasn’t sure what he had planned but she knew it would be interesting.
Chris had a large towel, a bar of soap, and a bottle of shampoo in his hand when she joined him in the living room. He turned on the outside lights and followed her out the front door. Putting the towel on the porch, he took her hand and led her out into the rain.
“Vin told me this is a ‘Cowboy shower’,” Chris smiled. “He said you stand out in the rain and let it wash away all your troubles and leave you refreshed.”
Amy tilted her head back and let the rain cascade over her; “He’s right, this is wonderful.”
She felt Chris move behind her and begin to wash her hair, his strong fingers kneading her scalp. When she first met him Amy never would have thought he could be so tender. She had a feeling this wasn’t a side he showed to a lot of people and felt honored he was sharing with her. She couldn’t stop the moan that slipped out as his fingers worked magic. His soft chuckle that followed made her decide to just let herself go and enjoy the moment.
Chris moved around in front of Amy again, and putting an arm around her waist, leaned her back to let the rain rinse the shampoo from her hair. One arm held the young woman securely while the other gently stroked her hair to help the rain wash away all the shampoo. Chris felt the tension leaving Amy as though the rain was washing it away with the shampoo.
Once the shampoo was gone Chris pulled Amy up to face him and kissed her forehead whispering “There’s more.” Walking around Amy, he grabbed the soap and lathered up his hands, then started to wash her shoulders, giving a gentle massage while he cleaned her. He started to work his way down her back, knowing he should stop before he got carried away, but her soft moans of pleasure encouraged him to go further. Chris thought Amy would protest when he pulled the string tie of her bikini top undone, but she leaned back into in hands, so he kept going.
Having reached the top of Amy’s legs, Chris cupped the firm derriere in front of him and squeezed lightly, laughing at her moan of “Yes”. Then kneeling behind her, he worked down each leg. After he’d finished on her legs, he was about to stop, until she turned around and offered him the front side to do too.
Lathering his hands again, Chris started his way back up Amy’s body, not removing her top which hung loose since he never tied it back. Sliding his hands under to cup her full breasts in a soft kneading, he could feel her nipples harden under his touch.
He finally worked his way to her neck, his male pride delighting in the look of bliss on her face. His hands never stopped the soft caress as the rain washed away all the traces of soap from their bodies. “We better get out of the rain,” Chris said, as he led her back to the porch where he’d left the towel.
Wrapping a towel around Amy, Chris began to dry her body. He heard a splat and saw her top lying on the porch. Looking in her eyes he saw the passion and smiled when she opened the towel to wrap it around them both. Her hands began their own gentle stroking of his firm muscles as their lips met for the first time, their tongues mating in a wild fashion as their bodies fit together perfectly.
Amy’s hands slid down his back to the waist band of his boxers, sliding lower inside the boxers pushing them down and off him. When they cupped his rear, Chris managed to hold a little control to pull his mouth from hers. Looking deeply into her eyes he asked, “Are you sure.”
“God yes, please Chris I need you” Amy’s voice strong and sure.
Chris smirked and said, “My pleasure,” as he slid his hands down to push off the bottoms of her suit. Then he cupped her rear, pulling bare body against his, grinding their hips together until they both moaned. Lifting her up he carried her back into the house, not caring about the discarded swim suits or the towel they dropped just inside the door.
Amy wrapped her legs around his waist, loving the feel of him against her moist center, but anxious to feel him inside of her. Chris carried her to his room and lowered them both to the bed. He felt her rubbing herself against him and smiled; “Slow down darlin’, we have all night.”
Chris leaned down to take her breast deep in his mouth, nipping and suckling as his hands roamed freely to the places previous covered by her suit. She arched under him when she felt his finger enter her and begin to stoke the fires burning inside even higher. Lowering his mouth to join his finger, he licked and sucked her to her first orgasm of the night.
He barely let her come down from it when he entered her in on firm stroke, filling her completely. She felt so good wrapped around his hard length, that he hoped he could hold out long enough to make it good for her too. He claimed her mouth again as their tongues met with relish. She wrapped her legs around his hips pulling him even deeper into her body, while her hands stroked and caress him with wild abandoned. Her second orgasm hit hard, followed closely by his own.
Collapsing on her, Chris hoped the bad guys didn’t come now, because he didn’t think he had any strength left as they both lay there panting. Chris managed to find the strength to roll off of Amy but wasn’t ready to give her up, so pulled her tightly to his side.
“Remind me to tell Vin ‘thank you’ for telling you about the Cowboy shower” Amy murmured into his chest. “That was fantastic.”
“I think I need to thank him too,” Chris smiled at her. “You okay?”
“Never better,” Amy smiled back, “plus you promised me all night.”
Laughing, Chris stroked her cheek “Yep, I did - and I never break my promised to a lady.”
Amy laughed as Chris pulled her on top of him.
The dog didn’t bark at the jeep as it pulled into the driveway, recognizing it as belonging to his friend, Vin. Vin was glad the rain had finally stopped sometime during the night; everything was so fresh and clean after a rain. Vin reached down to pet the dog and feed him some sausage, before he started up the front steps. Vin came to a stop when he saw the two swim suits laying there on the porch. Not a sound came from the house even thought it was after 8 am - unusual for Chris. A knowing smiled crossed Vin’s face as he decided to give the couple some privacy and go tend to the animals before he left them to enjoy their day.The End
