Chapter 24
By eight o'clock all of the decorating was completed inside the house. There was still a little to do outside but that would have to wait until after the rain stopped.
All of the Christmas lights were on so Bob turned off all of the house lights to show off the holiday lighting better. He stood admiring the work that Ann had done. Ann walked beside him and he put his arm around her. Ann put her arm around his waist.
"Ann, the house looks beautiful. I haven't decorated the house in years. This is going to make it seem like it's really Christmas. Thank you."
Ann smiled, "I've always wanted to go whole-hog on decorating for Christmas. It's a little hard decorating an apartment and really make it something special."
"How about I build a fire in the fireplace and we sit on the couch, drink a glass of wine and enjoy all of your hard work?'
Ann nodded and Bob started to build a fire. In about a half an hour the fire was going good and Ann had selected a bottle of wine and had poured a glass for each of them. She was sitting on the couch when he stepped away from the fireplace and closed the glass doors. He walked over to the couch and sat next to her and put his arm around her.
They sat together on the couch for a long time with Bob's arm around her shoulder; neither of them saying a word. When their glasses were empty Bob refilled them and they sat enjoying the flames of the fire dancing behind the glass fire door.
When the second glass of wine was almost finished, Ann stood up and put her hand out to Bob. Bob took her hand and Ann pulled him off of the couch and into her arms. She kissed him; the kiss growing in passion. When they broke the kiss Ann looked into his eyes and got a sly smile on her lips. She moved out of his arms and took his hand and began to lead him to the stairs. Bob put his arm around her and Ann put her arm around his waist and they walked upstairs together. When they got to Ann's room she opened the door and walked him to the bed.
Ann turned to him and kissed him. Bob could feel her trembling. She started to unbutton his shirt and he saw that her hands were shaking.
"Ann, if..."
She put her fingers gently on his lips, "I want to do this."
They undressed each other slowly. Bob turned down the covers and Ann got in bed and put her hand out for him to join her. He slid next to her and gathered her in his arms and kissed her passionately. Ann molded her body to his. As he kissed her he caressed her body gently. When he cupped her breast she pushed herself harder into his hand.
He guided Ann on to her back and he began to kiss her neck and then worked his way to her breast. As he sucked her nipple into her mouth she gasped and held his head to her breast. He alternated between each of her breasts and she began to moan and she'd push the breast that he was paying homage to against his lips. He spent a long time kissing her and caressing her body.
Bob gently pushed her legs apart and knelt between her legs. He lowered his lips to her slit and licked his tongue the length of her. When his tongue brushed her clit she bucked and then pushed her hips up to meet his tongue. Her bud began to poke out in arousal and each time Bob caressed it Ann pushed up to get more of his tongue in her.
Ann pulled him up to her and she gasped, "Please... now... please."
Bob started to guide himself into her and Ann relaxed and let his shaft start to slide into her. Her rose to meet him and h pushed further into her. When he had sunk his entire shaft into her he paused to let her get used to his size and then began to slowly push into her and pull out of her. Ann wrapped her legs around him and used her legs to drive him faster.
Ann let out a long Ohhhhh and then tensed for a second and then grasped him and held him as tight as she could while her organism swept her body. Bob began to pump himself into her harder and he tensed and emptied himself into her.
They lay together for a long time; neither of them having the breath to speak. Ann reached out and took his hand and squeezed it and then held on to his hand.
After several minutes Ann turned to him, "You're the best lover that I've ever had. If Miriam tries to move in I'll break her neck."
Bob laughed, "You will never have to worry about her."
Bob gathered her into his arms and they lay together fro a long time kissing and caressing each other. Bob finally slipped out of bed and reached out for Ann. She got out of bed and followed him into the bathroom. Bob adjusted the shower and they stepped into the shower and began to wash each other. Bob held her and kissed her. They stayed under the shower for a long time; neither wanting to part from the other.
When they got out of the shower Bob toweled her off and then dried himself. He got a robe for Ann and him self and they put them on.
"Come on and let's get in the hot tub," He said as he took her hand.
Ann looked down at the robe that was the only thing that she was wearing, "Don't you think... ?"
Bob laughed, "I'll close the rolling doors."
They walked downstairs hand in hand to the pool room. Bob pushed the button to close the doors and when they were closed the pool room had total privacy. While Bob was taking off the hot tub cover Ann went and got the wine and the glasses that they had left in the living room. Bob took the glasses from her and poured them each a glass of wine.
He reached out and pulled the belt of the robe and Ann's robe fell open. She turned and let him take the robe off of her and then he took his robe off. Bob got in the hot tub and held Ann's hand while she got into the tub. Bob sat on one of the bench seats in the hot tub and pulled Ann down so that she was sitting in front of him. He handed her the wine and they sat and soaked in the hot water.
"Um, is this how all of you rich people live?" Ann asked with a big grin on her face.
"Not until today. I've never had a beautiful woman like you in the hot tub before."
Ann nudged him with her elbow, "What's that they say about silver tongued devils? You mean to tell me that you like older women?"
Bob hugged her, "I think that you should look in the mirror sometime. You've got nothing to be ashamed of. You've got the body of a twenty year old."
Ann turned her head and kissed him, "I love the way you fib. Keep it up."
After they had finished the wine they got out of the hot tub and went in the swimming pool. They swam for a while and then sat on the edge of the pool with their legs in the water. Ann smiled to herself when she realized that she was nude in front of Bob and didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Bob insisted that they sleep in his bed. Before they fell asleep they made love again. Ann pushed him on his back and straddled his legs with her own. Bob reached up and cupped both of her breasts in his hands and began to kiss and gently nibble her nipples. Ann reached under her and guided him into her. She slowly lowered her self until his entire length was in her. They made love slowly and gently until Ann's passion began to grow and she took him faster. Bob rose up to meet her every thrust. Ann tensed and moaned. Bob held her as he emptied his seed into her.
Ann fell on top of him and they stayed joined together for a long while. Bob pulled the covers over them and held her and kissed her; gently showing her that he cared for her. When he had softened and slipped out of her he continued to hold her in his arms. Ann got off of him and snuggled close to him. Bob gathered her into his arm and they fell asleep.
Bob Long woke up in the morning with Ann's hand around his erection and her lying next to him grinning at him.
"Well, It looks like someone is finally awake and ready to play," Ann laughed.
Bob flipped the covers off of them, "Let me make a fast trip to the bathroom. Hold that thought."
When he came back into the bedroom Ann watched as he approached the bed, "Nice package. Hurry up and get in bed."
They made love slowly and passionately at the same time. After they had made love they held each other for a long time. Ann was the first to make a move to get out of bed.
"We'd better get moving. Brenda will be home soon."
They took a shower together and Bob got dressed first and made his way to the kitchen. He told Kate that he wanted to fix breakfast and that she wouldn't be needed until dinner. Kate left and went to her own house on the grounds.
Ann walked into the kitchen a short while after Kate left and walked to Bob and put her arms around him and hugged him for a long time with her head on his chest. She held him for a long time.
She lifted her face up to be kissed and they kissed gently and lovingly. When they broke the kiss Ann held on to him and put her head on his chest again.
"You're a very considerate lover," she said into his chest.
She finally let him go and Bob handed her a cup of coffee. Ann sat at the table while Bob began to fix breakfast. As they were eating breakfast Brenda pulled into the driveway. She bounded into the house and announced that Todd would be over later and that they were going to ride for a while.
Todd came to the house about two hours later and asked Bob for permission to ride one of his horses. Although it had turned a bit colder than it had been for the earlier part of December, Todd and Brenda rode for several hours.
Later that afternoon the phone rang. Bob rushed into his office to answer it before the answering machine picked up the call.
He recognized the voice as soon as the man spoke, "You really should keep up with the New York papers. There are a lot of sales going on this week."
The caller hung up and Bob went to his computer and pulled up the New York Newspapers on the Internet. He found the article that he was looking for. The story was buried deep in the paper and Bob knew that many New Yorkers would miss it but it was the story that he wanted to see.
The article's headline read "Organized Crime Takes Revenge." The
body of the article explained how four men dressed completely in black
collared two suspected mob members and took them to an isolated wooded
area and beat the men. The black dressed figures then broke both men's
legs and then cut the mobsters' Achilles tendon. The article said that
both men would be in wheelchairs for the rest of their lives. The
article went on to say that none of the attackers could be identified
and that the attack was performed with military precision. There are no
suspects and the police stated that they have few clues as to the
reason for the attack. Bob knew that the police would give the attack a
very low priority; attacks on mob figures didn't rank high on the
police agenda. Bob was just sorry that he couldn't let the mobsters
know the reason for the attack; he was afraid that they would have
someone track down Ann and hurt her and Brenda.
