Epilogue
Light
Three times in a week.
It's a new personal record.
I wish she would just tell me to fuck her like I know she wants to, but she wants to keep playing this shy girl role.
Not today, though. I'm not falling for it this time.
With a sigh, I steady myself and walk in the back door of my shop before slowly walking through the main area to get to the front door. The woman knocks again, and this time I open the door.
"Oh, thank goodness. I was starting to think you were closed." She heaves a breathy sigh, and I have to fight against grabbing myself.
Hell, she's so damn hot.
"Look what the cat dragged in." I push away from the door and let her walk in. This is the second time I've had her in my shop, but this time I'm going to make sure she sees what I've got working in the back. I do a mental check of my condom supply I should have tucked away in the side dresser near my bed.
Yup, I should have at least a dozen left. Who knows, I might need more after dealing with her today.
"Look, I know this is so silly. I'm sorry for always coming here, but you're the only one who can help me with this little problem." She starts, and I have to hide a laugh as I continue to lead her through my shop and to the back room.
"No, gorgeous, don't apologize. You're right. I definitely can help you. It's not a problem." Everything she's saying confirms what I've been thinking all along. I'm so damn excited for what's to come. It's been a long while since someone chased after me like she is. I mean, I'm hot and built, but usually, I'm the one doing the chasing.
"Great. So, can we get to it? I mean, do you need to get anything?" she asks from behind me.
Hmm, she's just as eager. I like that in a woman.
"I've got everything I need right in there. Don't worry. You won't be disappointed." I say as I open the door to the bedroom, and she takes a step in. She tilts her head when she sees the large sleigh bed against the far wall.
The entire room is wrapped corner to corner with LED light strips. There's a fur rug. Incense burns to keep the room smelling sweet. I've even made sure to get those wet wipes women can use on their private areas so she doesn't have to worry about anything. I'm going to take care of her tonight.
I let her walk around the room for a second just to get her bearings while I get to work taking my clothes off. If she's as hot for this as I am, I don't want to waste any time.
"You got everything?" she asks again as she looks at one of the erotic paintings I have on the wall.
Quickly I shove my pants down, my hard cock bobbing in the air before I yank my shirt off and stand there in all my well-muscled glory. Even I get a kick out of looking at myself in the mirror, so I know what all the hype is about.
"I've got everything you need right here, baby." I say sweetly.
She turns around, and her eyes go so wide I think they're about to pop out of her head. And then... the screaming starts.
"What the hell are you doing!" she yells, picking up one of my paperweights and tossing it at my head.
I duck it and stand back in the corner, my dick still swinging free. "What the hell do you mean, what am I doing? I'm getting ready to fuck. That's what you came here for." I yell right back.
She gasps, "What! Are you out of your mind? I came here because I needed an electrician. Oh my god!" She blushes so hard, and my soul drops to my feet. I just exposed myself to a woman against her will.
"Oh, fuck." I quickly bend down and yank my pants up, not caring about my manhood, which is quickly becoming flaccid. "Oh sweet fuck. I'm sorry. I thought..."
She turns around while I continue to put my clothes on. "You thought what? That in order to get work done at my house, I would actually let you..." She blindly points her finger between the both of us, flailing back and forth, "go to work on me?"
"It was wrong. I just... I mean... For fuck's sake, who needs different electrical work done every other day? I thought you were just too shy to say what you really wanted me to do. I thought I was helping." Finally, I get my clothes back on, and she looks over her shoulder to see I'm properly dressed.
"Yeah, well, I'm not here to have sex with you. You know what? Never mind." She speed-walks to the door, and I have to jump over my bed to get to it before she does.
"No, wait!" I slam my palm against the door, shutting it just as she opens it.
Her entire body is trembling. She thinks I'm going to force myself on her. Never in this lifetime. I take a few steps back and raise my hands so she can see I'm not trying anything.
"Just wait. I'm sorry. It was truly a fucked-up misunderstanding. What do you need? I'm not going to hurt you. I'll even bring other people if it'll make you feel safer. Tell me the reason you came here, and I'll get the work done."
She squints her eyes at me as if she's trying to gauge whether or not I'm being serious.
"Free of charge," I add on. I hope that's not what her plan was the whole time.
She lifts her chin and takes a breath to calm her nerves. "I'm going to open this door."
"Okay, just don't run off. I want to make this right."
She nods and opens the door, giving her a clear line of sight to the exit. Now that she seems a little more at ease, she says, "My lights are off again. I tried to change the fuse like you showed me the last time, but I don't think that's the problem. There are some wires hanging out. They must have gotten cut somehow." She shrugs and looks down as if she's ashamed.
"Did you cut them?" I ask just to know what I'm working with.
Her bright blue eyes pop back up to mine. "No, of course not. I already told you, my electricity is vital. My son is still on the respirator. He's getting better but not there yet."
I nod my head. "Okay, let's go. I'll get it fixed."
She walks out ahead of me, and I drop my head back to stare at the ceiling. Please don't let this woman call the cops on me.
Grabbing my portable toolkit, I follow the woman back to her place. Thankfully, she's only two blocks away from the shop, so I don't need to drive. I watch as she rushes around to the side and waves through the window. When I go to see who she's waving at, I notice a little boy, maybe about seven or eight years old, lying in his bed, playing on his old-fashioned Game Boy. It definitely looks like a knockoff version, but he seems to be content. I look down and see there's a tube connected to his throat, and the tube is connected to a large medical device that is flashing red. The internal battery is dying.
She wasn't playing. This is an emergency.
I already know where the electrical panel is. I've been here several times before. She follows me around the house, and sure enough, sticking out from under the panel are wires that are cut. I examine the wrappings to see if it was some sort of animal that did this, but the cut is clean. This was done with a knife.
Dread coils in my gut as I look down at the ground and notice three cigarette butts snubbed out in the dirt. It looks fresh.
"You smoke?" I ask, my voice quiet. Deadly.
"No, of course not. Tyler wouldn't be able to tolerate that." She furrows her eyes at me like I just asked her the most asinine question.
It doesn't take long for me to add two plus two.
Her lights have been cut through by a knife, and there are cigarettes lining her property.
Someone was watching her. Someone did this on purpose.
It seems like I was right all along. This definitely wasn't an accident.
Someone is trying to terrorize this woman and her son.
