Chapter 12

Ben had to wake the love birds up the following day because neither heard Josh’s alarm. It still took Ben a couple of minutes to get any response out of them. Becky looked so peaceful curled up on Josh’s arm that Ben almost didn’t have the heart to wake them, but they had to get going. Ben figured the easiest way to wake them up was like ripping off a band-aid, fast and without care.

To that end, Ben turned Josh’s bedroom light on but saw that it wouldn’t do much good because of how they were lying. They had turned during the night, and Josh was now spooning Becky. Seeing the light wasn’t working, Ben went, cranked up the stereo to full blast, and skipped to the end of the 1812 Overture. Controlling the stereo with a remote, Ben waited until he leaned against Josh’s doorframe before hitting play. As Ben expected, the cannon blast almost flipped Josh out of bed, and the look on his face when he realized what was happening caused Ben to laugh so hard that he had difficulty standing. He kept laughing until Becky got up and walked right up to him in the same outfit that she was born in and said in a sultry voice:

“Excuse me, Ben, but I need to pee and shower.”

Without even thinking, Ben stepped back and let Becky through. He stared at her swaying ass as she walked away from him when Josh stepped up next to him.

“Yep, that is one very nice-looking ass.”

Ben’s eyes snapped back to Josh, and Ben was now so glad that he wasn’t white because his entire face would have been apple-red. His eyes must have shown some fear though, so Josh continued:

“Relax, Ben. You didn’t touch her, and I guess she doesn’t mind showing off, so you’re good. As long as she shows off, I don’t mind if you enjoy the eye candy, and actually, I think I might be a bit insulted if you didn’t enjoy it. However, if you touch, you had better start running. Okay?”

Ben relaxed, smiled, and nodded his understanding to Josh, who warmly smiled as he headed to the bathroom. They had much of the same understanding when it came to Cynthia. While Cynthia wasn’t Josh’s ideal woman to look at, he still checked her out because he knew it made her feel better about herself. As Josh went into the bathroom, Ben called out:

“Hey, you two, save some hot water for me, and remember that we have to get going in an hour.”

“Still leaves plenty of time for a quickie,” Josh replied.

Josh climbed into the shower with Becky, wrapped his good arm around her, and held her tight. She turned her head to face Josh, and when she looked deep into his eyes, she saw nothing but unconditional love. She also noticed what Ben told her about the light returning to Josh’s eyes. A light that she hadn’t seen the week before. It didn’t take long for their lips to lock, and their tongues started wrestling. They quickly realized that they had to get moving, so they showered, brushed their teeth, and Josh shaved.

“Josh, would you like me to shave my mound?”

“If you want, you can, but I would rather you didn’t because I like running my fingers through your hair. As long as the lips are clean, so I don’t get hair in my mouth. I actually consider shaving a natural blonde or red-haired pussy to be a crime against humanity.” Becky smiled, remembering what Gretchen had told her.

“Then can we clean up around my favorite plaything so I don’t get hair in my mouth?”

“Oh, you silly girl, of course we can,” Josh said with a goofy grin.

Becky smiled and then kneeled to get a better view so as not to hurt her favorite toy. First, she used scissors to trim the hair around Josh’s shaft before using a razor to finish cleaning him up. For the final step, she put some of her aftershave lotion on so his skin wouldn’t get irritated.

“Hey Josh, can we look into getting a shaver for pubic hair?”

“You mean like that manscape lawnmower that I’ve seen advertised?”

“Yes, or something like it.”

“That sounds good to me. Remind me after we settle into our room tonight, and I’ll order one.”

Knowing that Ben still needed to shower, Josh yelled at him, telling him that he and Becky were done. Ben was outside the door and already naked when Josh and Becky came out. Now Becky got to see her first real black cock, and truthfully, she wasn’t that impressed since it didn’t look that much bigger than Josh’s. When they got back to his room, Becky asked:

“Hey, Josh, I thought black cocks were supposed to be larger.”

“Actually, Becky, that’s a myth. The worldwide average size is between four and seven inches, depending on the survey, with most men falling on the lower end. Those nine- or ten-inch cocks are only a couple out of a million and usually don’t get fully hard. Just think to yourself, would it feel good to have something that big shoved into your vagina?”

“Oh. Yeah, I don’t think I would like that. You’re almost too big. Any bigger, and I wouldn’t be letting you pound me as you do because I think it would hurt too bad.”

“Sweetheart, promise me that if I start hurting you, you’ll tell me to stop. The last thing I want to do is to hurt you.”

“Oh, Josh, that is one of the reasons that I love you so much.”

They hugged each other quickly, and then they started getting dressed. Becky swiftly dressed since they had to get going. Then she turned her attention to helping get Josh ready. He had just gotten his shirt on, and the look on his face said that he hurt bad. Becky got his shirt buttoned up and helped him with his boxer briefs, socks, and jeans. Josh wore a button-up shirt because he couldn’t get a t-shirt on.

They grabbed their luggage and took it into the living room, where Ben already had his ready. Becky then got a bowl of fruit for Josh and her to eat. As they were finishing up, Ben came out. He had already eaten, so they were about ready to go. All they had to do was put their shoes on and throw the luggage into the vehicle. Five minutes later, Ben was pulling out of the driveway, and they were on their way.

Josh and Ben agreed to drive rather than fly for this trip, as their usual private plane was overseas. The drive wasn’t that far, and with three of them, they could split the drive into two-hour parts so none would get too tired. Also, by driving, they didn’t have to worry about too much luggage, and if they bought stuff in North Carolina, they could bring it back easily. Becky was happy that they were driving because she had always heard about the beauty of the Smoky Mountains, and now, she would get to see them up close and personal.

Ben could make good time because they managed to beat the rush, and Josh had printed out excellent directions so everyone could avoid tolls, construction, or heavily congested areas. On the way back, they could take their time. Ben managed to make it to IU before his two hours ran out, and they stopped at a gas station to take a potty break and pick up some snacks. They also stopped at Becky’s dorm to pick up some of her formal wear. Josh wanted to take her to at least one fancy dinner in North Carolina.

Josh was up next, so he changed the music to classic country after settling in. As soon as Becky heard this, she complained, but Ben laid the rules out for her; the driver got to pick the music, and everyone else had to listen. Becky took solace because she was next to drive, so she only had to listen to Josh’s shit for two hours.

Josh also made good time and got halfway through Kentucky before his two hours were up. Becky was full of questions during the drive, and the guys had most of the answers. She was curious about this robot they were demonstrating, and Ben explained that it was designed to punch out rifle cartridges faster and with less waste. It was also capable of changing cartridge sizes without extensive retooling. Just swap out tools and select the size in the control program.

It was Becky’s turn to drive and pick the music, so she synced her phone to the car and put it on. Ben and Josh flinched because Becky put on pop, which neither Josh nor Ben liked. But this time, they were the ones who didn’t have a choice. Becky would have liked to sing along, but all her concentration was on the road because they were in the mountains, and it was raining enough to make the roads slick. This was the first time that Becky had ever driven in the mountains, and it made her nervous when the road turned right under the top of a ridge. Coming over the hill, it looked like the road had vanished, keeping Becky on her toes. She would make sure that one of the guys drove this part back.

Finally, they found themselves at the factory’s front gate where they would be working. The drive took them almost ten hours to finish, and they arrived at about 3 PM. Check-in at the hotel didn’t start until five, so they went to the factory first. They were let through the gate and directed to the office to meet with the company bigwigs. Since this was a meet and greet, none of them wore PPE. Josh and Ben had company polos on, and Becky wore a nice blouse.

Once inside, Ben handled all the introductions because Josh and he flipped for it, and Ben won. With Becky there, none of the male company bigwigs cared what Ben said anyway. Josh was amused at how much attention Becky was getting and how embarrassed she was. Since Ben handled the introductions, Josh handled the presentation on setting up the press and their timeline. One of the other things he had to explain was why Becky was even there in the first place and what happened to him. When the others in the conference room heard about Josh’s exploits, they were impressed.

After the presentation, Ben, Josh, and Becky got a facility tour. This factory manufactured small-caliber rifle ammunition for the hunting and sport shooting markets. This plant made the perfect place for Josh and Ben to showcase their new punch robot because it was a small company; this was their only factory, most of their equipment was second-hand, and they were close to having to close up shop. If not for the robot’s promised increase in production and accuracy, the company would have begun selling off its assets, and almost 100 people would be out of a job. The robot wasn’t really sold to the company but was leased. Josh and Ben got a fixed amount of money for each cartridge produced by the machine, just like the airline industry and the jet engines for their aircraft.

From the tracking in their semi, they knew the robot would be getting there that night, which meant they would be working in the morning. The semi hadn’t beaten them because it had to stop and drop equipment off at another worksite. The three left the factory after about an hour. There wasn’t much to do until the semi arrived. Since they had an hour to kill, they drove around town to check out the sights. At five-thirty, they arrived at the hotel tired and needing a shower. Racheal had outdone herself when she rented these rooms, managing to get some of the best rooms in town and only paid the same cost as an average room.

Ben and Josh had suites with a sitting room, bedroom, full bathroom, and kitchenette. Their bathrooms both had a hot tub in them. Becky was going to be staying with Josh. After freshening up some, Ben wanted to try a fancy restaurant that some of the ladies at their customer’s plant had told them about. Ben and Josh got ready fast since they were wearing slacks and sports coats; Becky took some time, so the guys went to the lobby to wait for her.

They were there for about ten minutes when the lobby suddenly got quiet. Josh and Ben were confused until they turned around. Becky came from the elevator wearing a little black dress, her hair done up, and high-heeled sandals. When she came across the lobby, she didn’t walk; she glided effortlessly, oozing sex appeal. Ben and Josh were speechless, and their jaws were hanging loose. Even the crappy light in the hotel caused Becky’s hair to shimmer and her eyes to sparkle.

By the time Becky got to Josh and Ben, she had three offers to go on dates with guys she walked by. All this attention caused Becky to smile and walk taller. Finally, she got to Josh and pushed his mouth closed with a giggle. He wondered if she was wearing anything under the dress, but she wouldn’t give him any clues except he would have to wait until later to find out. Josh and Ben took an arm and escorted Becky to the car, leaving the other men disappointed and jealous.

Their food was spectacular, with Becky having a two-pound lobster, Ben having a steak, and Josh having a chicken salad. Becky and Josh had wine while Ben had a brew. After their meal, paid for with a company card, they went to the movies. There, they found a movie that all three could enjoy. Becky, at her request, sat between the guys and to Josh’s left. At least this way, Josh could rub Becky’s leg during the movie, and she could smack his hand every time he tried to find out if she was wearing anything under her dress. Becky sat between them so that she could give some attention to Ben. This was to keep Ben from feeling left out. Becky could remember other people forgetting about her and wanted to ensure Ben didn’t feel this way.

After the movie was over, it was almost nine, so they returned to their hotel. Once in their rooms, Becky hugged and kissed Ben on the cheek. Watching this, Josh was about to die from holding in his laughter. Ben looked so uncomfortable and confused that Josh had to sneak a pic to send to Cynthia later.
