We fell asleep there naked, our bodies intertwined with arms and legs. It was the most secure, warm feeling I had ever known. I had shared my bed with other women. But not like this. Not like her. I couldn’t believe the feelings I was having!
Slowly I got up, I didn’t want to leave her but I needed to find out what was in the letter! My curiosity was killing me! What did John have in mind? I looked at her as I stood beside the bed, the light from the street lamp outside my bedroom fell across her face. Her perfect features highlighted by it, her hair softly fanned out on the pillow.
I walked to the living room naked, the cool air of the house caused me to shiver and rub my arms to keep the goose bumps down. I flipped on the light next to my easy chair and picked up the envelope with her father’s handwriting on it. I read the graceful almost calligraphic writing:
Mark,
You must be stupid! To risk your career which is quite distinguished for a man like me. You owe me nothing to do such a thing. But I thank you for your loyalty and friendship. I don’t know what I am going to do with Ann!
I have pulled some strings and called in some favors. I have secured for you a weeks vacation, all paid. I will arrange for a flight for you under an assumed name and I want you to take my daughter out of the country. That way if anyone asks I can say she was out of the country. I will arrange a hotel that I can persuade to verify you were there yesterday. I would send her down on her own but it is obvious I can’t trust her! So I need you to go with her and chaperone.
I am sorry I know today was a big bust for you and your career, but I had your name removed from the records and you did not lead the raid. I realize this was a feather in your cap but it had to be done.
In closing thank you again, I will never forget this and anything I have that you want name it and it is yours.
I will see you in my office, please use my private entrance, I will have all the details for you then.
John
My mind froze on the next to last line about anything I wanted that he had I could have. My mind went to Ann. Did this include her? I smiled at the thought. He may be thinking car or money. I am thinking his first born will do just fine!
I could smell her long before she said anything. Her perfume wafted around me. I closed my eyes and inhaled.
“Not safe to sneak up on me.” I warned her not turning around and putting the letter back in the envelope,
“Well I can see you don’t have your gun on you! Well at least not the dangerous one!” I heard her soft footsteps, she wrapped her arms around my waist. Her hands rubbing my stomach. Her naked body pressed against mine.
“So what is up?” She asked kissing my back.
“Looks like your dad is sending us on vacation.” I turned to her, her body pressed into mine and she shivered. I felt her taut nipples press into my skin.
“Where we going?” She asked unable to suppress her smile.
“Don’t know, but our cover story is you are out of the country.” I stroked her hair. “Come on let’s go back to bed, I have to get up in a couple hours and get the details. I led her back to bed and we spooned ourselves back to sleep.
