Chapter 16: Eddy falls

The three of us arrived at the Hollywood hills house a little before five pm. We were greeted by Kim, Vicky and Jen with happy smiles and hugs, and it was obvious to me that they recognized the change in Maria's demeanor immediately.

They spent an inordinate amount of time making sure Maria felt welcome. I assumed they were trying to tell her with actions rather than words that they understood things were different between me and Maria and that they were okay with it.

Maria, who had noticeably become more and more uneasy the closer we came to the Hollywood hills house lost all those feelings of misgivings after having been received with such warm enthusiasm from Kim, Vicky and Jen. The three girls' generosity and unselfishness only made me love them the more, assuming that was even possible.

"We didn't know what time you were getting back so we didn't start dinner yet." Jen said looking around at everyone else.

"That's good," I said. "I kind of strong armed Maria into letting you guys take her clothes shopping tonight and..."

"Right on!" Vicky squealed happily cutting off my words.

"You're going to be fun to go shipping with," Kim exclaimed taking both of Maria's hands into hers. "You're so tall and elegant it's going to be grand helping you pick stuff out."

Maria smiled so broadly, I thought her face might split.

"I can't wait. Let's go get ready before the stores close." Jen said enthusiastically and then she added, "Which house should we take her new clothes to Sam?"

"Why not enough for both? Half here, half there." I made a command decision.

Maria looked shocked. Jen, Vicky, Kim and Pat just smiled.

"Hey listen," I brought up something I'd been thinking about during the drive over. "I haven't talked to you about this yet Pat, but since you quit your other cleaning jobs you're more than welcome to give up your apartment and move in here with us if you want."

"That would be great Pat, and much more convenient." Kim nodded her head.

"And you'll save having to pay rent too. Do it Pat." Jen offered her opinion.

Vicky hadn't said anything so Pat looked around at us and then she fixed her eyes on her, obviously searching for Vicky's reaction to my suggestion.

"Are you kidding?" Vicky laughed. "I'd love it. Say yes."

I noticed Maria struggling to hold back tears of joy for Pat. Pat herself was unable to hold back her tears, and her lower lip quivered and her voice broke when she said, "I can't believe ... I don't know what ... yes."

Maria stepped over to Pat and hugged her and then in a voice almost too low for the rest of us to hear she told her dear friend, "You were the one that told me they were special, but even you didn't know just how special they really are."

That got the other girls too crying. I turned away and wiped my eyes discreetly. Then turning back I said, "Take Pat shopping with you. She'll need stuff for both houses as well."

"Ha! We'll need two cars again." Vicky exclaimed joyfully.

After the girls had scramble off to go get ready leaving me, Maria and Pat alone, Pat looked up at me and said, "Mr. Sam, I don't know what to say. I..."

"Pat," I interrupted. "You don't need to say anything. If'un you like it or not, you're family and there's nothing you can do about it. Just accept it." I kissed her on the cheek.

Maria had remained silent during our conversation but as soon as I straightened up she rushed into my arms and kissed me with as much fire as I could ever remember being kissed with. "I love you Mr. Sam ... lover." She told me with a new supply of tears flowing down her cheeks after breaking our kiss. "I love you so much I think I might burst."

I kissed her back and then she looked into my eyes and intentionally exaggerating her Spanish accent she asked, "I say this right señor?"

"You say everything right." I answered kissing her again, "Everything."

She smiled and then buried her face into my shoulder.

After the girls left the house became emotionally barren right at that moment. I fended for myself fixing something to eat. While I ate I thought about tomorrow and of Dana coming. I couldn't wait to see her, but I also felt apprehension thinking of her possible negative reaction after learning about Maria. I didn't want to lose Dana, I loved her far too much and just the thought of her rejecting our love brought tightness to my stomach and fear into my heart. But I had also promised Jen, Kim and Vicky that I wouldn't get all depressed and worried at the prospect of losing one of them and I reminded myself of what they had told me, that Dana had enough character to understand and that she, like them, would accept Maria and still love me.

I focused my attention on Dana understanding, telling myself that my girls had never steered me wrong in the past and they were more qualified in making the assessment of Dana's acceptance of Maria than I was. I did however make one commitment to Dana; I would not make love with Maria until after Dana and I had made love. That settled, I read Mickey Spillane and waited for the return of the happy shoppers.

They didn't get in until after midnight, every one of them loaded down with bags, boxes and other stuff. I guessed that they had decided this shopping spree had been a great idea as all the girls were bubbling over, excited by their purchases, giggling and horsing around. Every one of them, including Pat kissed and hugged me as if they'd been gone for a lifetime. I didn't mind, hell what man would.

Maria was exceptionally excited. She leaped into my arms and said, "I have never had so much! They would not stop buying me things! I ... I could not alto them. Dresses, pants, tops, shoes, stockings, everything, even little under things, and thin see-through night things and ... oh lover just everything!"

"We were spending so much money three stores stayed open an extra hour and a half accommodating us." Kim told me.

"We had a totally righteous time." Vicky exclaimed. "But we had to keep forcing Maria and Pat to try stuff on so they could buy it. Especially Pat."

"Eventually they just relented to our demands." Jen added, "I'm sure you remember how pushy we can be Sam. We already took half of their stuff over to the beach house but there's still more out in the cars that you can help us with."

After we had transferred everything from the cars into the house and both Patricia and Maria had selected a bedroom to store their new clothing, Patricia told everyone she was beat and bid us a goodnight before entering and then closing the door to one of the spare bedrooms.

The rest of us flopped down in the living room taking a break before retiring, and then Maria who had suddenly taken on a somber demeanor, made a declaration directed solely toward Kim, Jen and Vicky, "I need to tell you all something. I have come to think of you very fondly and the last thing I wish to do is hurt any of you. But please try to understand that I am unable to not feel the way in which I do." She paused and looked down at her feet before continuing, "I love Mr. Sam with all mi corazón and I have offered myself to him both heart and soul. If he were to honor me by making love to me I would do so without so much as a second thought. But please, even were it possible, which I know it is not, my wish is not to take him away from you. I can see how much you all love him and also how much he loves all of you. I am only asking that you accept me, and allow me to love him as you do."

To their credit all three of them got up and hugged Maria.

Jen spoke softly to what I perceived to be a very nervous young woman, "Maria, we knew and accepted that this might happen when we sent Sam to you. Believe me I know how easy it is to fall for his charms. I can't fault you for that. You are welcome here Maria."

"He is easy to love isn't he? I understand and welcome you." Kim said kissing Maria on the cheek.

"God! Another big breasted sex pot I'll need to contend with. But that's okay, I'll deal." Vicky told Maria but she smiled as she said it, showing her she wasn't serious and then she too kissed Maria on the cheek.

Maria looked so relieved that her whole body seemed to relax. She scanned her eyes from one to the other of the girls and said with sincerity in her voice, "You are all so ... so ... I have not the words ... only so very special. Muy especial."

While the girls were still assuring Maria and because I had made my own commitment to Dana I figured making a quick exit stage left would be in my best interest, so standing up and then stretching I declared, "I don't know about you guys but I'm totally dead on my feet. I'm going to bed." I kissed all four of them goodnight and then quickly made my way upstairs.

After getting undressed and climbing into to bed I lay there wondering if my quick departure would be viewed as strange or even upsetting to any of them especially Maria. I thought it might be, but I also felt that I had no other choice, not if I was going to keep my commitment to Dana.

As it turned out I was actually was very tired and just as I was about to doze off I heard the shower water running and then about ten minutes later the bathroom door opened with the lights still on.

I squinted open one eye fainting sleep and saw Maria emerge. She was dressed in a black see-through 'babydoll' nightgown. Her proud breasts were clearly visible under the sheer material of the gowns top which ended mid-waist, as was the dark patch of pubic hair between her legs under the short see-through pants bottom.

She slipped into bed next to me with a feverish blush on her face. As she slipped in, I caught another glimpse of the sumptuous outline of her large breasts, almost unfit for her slender perfectly shaped female form.

Feeling a surge of instinctive desire, I held myself back. No, no, no ... I wiped away my desire and reminded myself that I needed to remain strong. Silence stretched for minutes. Then, without warning, Maria leaned over and whispered, "Your women sent me into your bed lover. They also told me you could not make love with me tonight because of this woman Dana Peel. That is all right lover, I understand. But they said to tell you that touching me would be acceptable."

God! They could read me like a book.

As I lay on my back, Maria started kissing my lips and neck. I ran my hands under her top and then over her firm breasts and rolled her nipples between my fingers. Then pushing her top up, I took one of her nipples in my mouth and sucked and circled it with my tongue until it was rock hard, and then I darted back and forth, unable to settle on a single breast, but instead wanting my hands, my lips, my tongue to explore every inch of them.

The smell of fresh soap and shampoo, her little sighs of pleasure, her ever-deepening trust and surrender was my gratification. I moved one hand down along her body feeling her hips and then upper thighs. So soft and ... inviting.

"Let's get these off." I said softly tugging at her bottoms. She raised her hips and I slid the babydoll panties off her body.

I knelt between her legs and massaged the front of her thighs and torso. Then I stroked her inner thighs and she spread them farther apart. I ran my hand over her silky pussy hair and rubbed lightly my finger poking, exploring the hot moist warmth of her sex. I gently inserted the tip of a finger inside her. She was wet so I worked it in a little deeper and she squirmed and moaned. I leaned my head down and opened her lips with my fingers. I licked ever so lightly. She tasted so good ... like a sweet, exotic tropical fruit. Delicate. Rare.

I nibbled gently on and around her clit and it didn't take very long. The subtle difference in feel let me know even before her mounting cries and moans did. She writhed in ecstasy, pulling my hair and let out a low moan, closing her legs around my head. I stroked with my tongue a bit longer stimulating her clit and then lapping up her juices, slowing down only when she quieted ... sensing when her orgasm was completely drawn-out.

I slid up along her body and then held her close in my arms kissing her on the mouth. "You are so very special my love." I told her softly.

"Oh ... oh lover, that was so good. You are the first man I have given myself freely too. I wish to pleasure you now. I will put you in my mouth." She whispered back almost out of breath.

"Maria. You don't..." I started to argue with her but she only smiled and then leaned over me and eagerly put my cock into her mouth and sucked the head. She moaned in pleasure, and the sound of her muffled voice, stuffed full of my hard-on brought a heightened sense of arousal.

"Baby..." I gasped, " ... Oh Maria!"

She wrapped both hands around the shaft and sucked harder. She stroked and sucked creating a vacuum. I closed my eyes and rolled my head back. I moaned involuntarily. "Maria stop," I said softly. "Stop, baby, this is too good I'm going to..."

She just grunted, "Uh huh," around my cock then she alternated between pumping her fist around my aching shaft and taking me full in her mouth, her head bobbing madly, impossibly fast, up and down, up and down.

"Maria, please. I'm going to come," I gasped again and closed my eyes as she switched again from pumping to sucking ... and I exploded. She swallowed but continued sucking until I was completely spent and then she rose up and cuddled tightly against my body.

"Sleep now my lover." She whispered. "I love you. Sleep."

I slept.

When I awoke it was full daylight. My arms and legs were entangled around a now completely nude Maria, and apparently sometime during the night Vicky had joined us because she was spooned tightly against my back naked as always.

Then I remembered that Dana was due to arrive today. Untangling myself and sitting up I looked over at the nightstand clock and saw it was 9:05 am. Shit! Dana would be here in less than an hour. I played with two pairs of breasts, and nipples until both Vicky and Maria woke up. "Rise and shine," I told both of them, and then I leaned over and gave each of them a good morning kiss. "We have company coming this morning remember?" I reminded them and then I got up and headed for the shower. "I'll meet you both in the shower. Southern California, need to conserve water you know."

I could tell Maria was a little shy, probably because Vicky was with us but she toughed it out and we all showered together. I washed both of them and they shared the duty of washing me. Needless to say they generated a massive woody between my legs but being short on time I told them not to do anything about it.

After we had dried each other off and both Maria and I ran off in different directions, wrapped in a towel, to the rooms where our clothes were located so we could get dressed, I discovered Jen and Kim still fast asleep in the extra bedroom bed locked in what looked to me like a very personal embrace. I made plenty of noise getting dressed and finally they woke up. I walked over to the bed and kissed them. "It is 9:45 my loves, Dana will be here in less than fifteen minutes." They both groggily climbed out of bed calling me several bad names in the process, but what a beautiful sight their naked body's made.

I shaved, brushed my teeth, and combed my hair in record time and was downstairs at 9:59. I found Pat in the kitchen fixing breakfast and discovered that she already had a pot of coffee made. I said, "Morning Pat," leaned down, kissed her on the cheek and then swatting her on the backside, before pouring myself a cup of coffee.

Pat rubbed her butt like I had hurt her and said, "You have been taking some mighty big liberties with my Derrière sir." But she was laughing so I knew she wasn't mad.

"It's just so damned cute I can't help myself."

She laughed again and then asked, "Did Maria enjoy herself in your bed last night sir?"

"A gentleman doesn't speak of such things ma'am. I'm afraid you'll need to speak with the lady concerning that question. But I can say that she seemed happy enough this morning."

"Oh that's grand sir," Pat said happily. "She's such a sweet girl, and no one I know deserves a little happiness in their life more than she does."

Just then the door chimes sounded.

"If you'll just watch these sausages in the pan for a moment sir, I'll go see to the door." Pat asked but did not wait for my response before heading toward the front door.

I rolled the sausages around in the pan with a fork for a while until Pat returned and told me, "The FBI is here sir. I asked them to wait in the study." She didn't sound worried so I assumed Dana must have introduced herself.

"Did you call them to have me arrested because I've been touching your rear-end inappropriately?" I asked with all seriousness.

"Oh, no sir, I would never. I enjoy ... oh sir." And then she laughed.

I made my way into the study and then I saw Dana. She was more beautiful than ever and I wanted to take her in my arms but I could tell by her professional demeanor that that would not be a good idea. She was accompanied by Candy and two men I didn't recognize. Both her and Candy were dressed in very fashionable dark business suits and low-heeled shoes. One of the men was around five foot six inches tall and at least forty or fifty pounds overweight. He was dressed in overalls and based on the extra large toolbox at his feet I assumed him to be the locksmith. The other man, who was at least six inches over six feet tall was dressed in a conservative dark three piece business suit and appeared to be bored, but the moment he saw me his expression immediately turned from bored to inquisitive.

I surmised that the tall guy was probably Dana's boss John and the strange look he was giving me was because he had either seen Jimmy Maxwell or at least had seen pictures of him and only the fact that I was clean shaven, had combed well kept shorter hair, was dressed nicely, and looked much older than the original Jimmy Maxwell made him uncertain. I smiled and nodded to him.

"Mr. Eldon?" Dana questioned approaching me while holding out her right hand.

"Yes, Sam Eldon," I answered taking her hand and squeezing it gently. "And you must be Special Agent Peel. Kim told me you'd be dropping by to have a look inside the safe. She'll right down."
