Opening her legs wider, she let him explore deeper and deeper until she could take
no more and climaxed while his tongue caressed her.  Still quivering, she breathlessly led him over to the sofa.

“Time for me to return the favor.”
  Playfully pushing him onto his back, she spread open his legs and as she pulled down his cargo shorts, she covered his wonderfully masculine chest with soft kisses and nibbles. “Danielle.” Was all that he could muster. 

Freeing him of his boxers, she slowly ran her tongue up and down his rock hard shaft stopping just under his tip to lick and tease. He felt h
is heart beating faster and desire would soon over take him as she picked up the pace of her sucking and squeezing of him.

Calling out her name he knew he could no longer hold back. He moaned as he exploded deep down her throat. While savoring every drop
of him, she watched as he spasmed and then relaxed as his breathing returned to normal. “Babe, you are amazing.”

They lay their kissing passionately and intimately before deciding to go upstairs to bed.

The following morning while Victoria and Joe were in the back office going over some paperwork when one of their new employees named Richard knocked shyly on the door.

“Come in Richard, what is it?” Joe asked; glad to see his new employee.

“Mr. Johnson, you and Mrs. Johnson wanted to be notified if that man Ethan showed up?”

Now both Victoria and Joe were standing at attention. “Yes Richard, is he here?”

“Yes sir, he is.”

“Thank you for letting us know Richard, go back out on the sales floor and keep an eye on him would you please?” Victoria asked. She cou
ld tell by the look in her husband’s eyes that he was hell bent on confronting Ethan.

But before Joe could make it to the door, she stopped him and told him that if he confronted Ethan, it might make matters worse for Danielle and there was no way that ei
ther of them wanted that to happen. “Just let the police handle things honey. I know how badly you want to go out there and I do too, but you know that might add fuel to the fire. And we don’t want to put Danielle through any more of that, so let’s just let him get what he came here for and leave,” she pleaded.

Richard showed up in the office again. “Ah sorry to bother you again but he’s asking to speak to one of you, says he wants to know where Danielle is since he hasn’t seen her around.” Hearing that sen
t Joe into a rage.

Victoria had to hold him back. “Now Joe you stay put, I don’t want you getting yourself in trouble. Richard honey, do us a favor and go back out there and tell him that we aren’t available to see any customers right now. And if he press
es you about Danielle, you tell him nothing, you got that? You tell him absolutely nothing, not a word.”

Even though Richard was fairly new, he’d been updated on what to do if Ethan Tillitson showed up. He also remembered how friendly Danielle was to him
during his first few days on the job, she had welcomed him as they all had and he liked that. He was made to feel like part of the family so he had no problem what so ever telling Ethan Tillitson to basically go fuck himself. “Will do Mrs. Johnson, will do.”

“Thank you Richard,” Victoria said to him as he walked out of the office and back onto the sales floor.

“Thank you for looking out for me Vic, I know that if I would have gone out there I would have broken his neck,” Joe fumed as he tried to calm himself down. Victoria kissed her husband on the cheek. “You’re welcome honey. Once he leaves we better call Mitch, he’s gonna want to know that Ethan showed up here and was asking about Danielle.”

“I’ll give him a call,” said Joe.

 

Chapter Twelve

 

Ethan returned to his apartment angry and frustrated. He was sure that Victoria and Joe would have told him where Danielle was but they were unavailable, the punk employee at the store had snarled at him. As he sat on his dilapidated sofa, he concocted a p
lan.

I need to find out where Neanderthal man lives, once I do that I'll find my Danielle. I'll take her away from him, I’d like to see how big and bad he is when she's gone. I'll show them, those stupid bastards, no one is going to keep me from her. Dani
elle and I were meant to be together.

Ethan thought back to another time when he saw Danielle working at the store. She was in training and smiled at me while she helped Victoria ring up my items and I knew, I just knew by the way she looked at me that sh
e wanted me as much as I wanted her and I will have her. Oh the things I'm going to do to you Danielle, he thought as he dialed the number of a local rental car company.

 
As the rental agent sat outside Ethan’s apartment early Wednesday morning with a late model SUV, he wished the guy would come out so he could drive him back to the rental office. It was going to be a busy day as the holiday weekend was approaching and he had several cars, SUV's and vans that needed to go out to customers. After waiting about ten minutes his customer finally came out, looking around as if he'd done something wrong, he approached the agent with a very insensitive hand shake and got into the SUV. “Your all set sir,” said the agent once they arrived back at the office.

“Yeah,
thank you.”

“Ah sir, if you will be needing the vehicle any longer than a week, please give us at least twenty four hour notice so that we can bill accordingly.”

“I might need it longer, but I'll let you know.”  With that Ethan left the rental office and

headed straight for Danielle's street. “I'll sit and wait for her bitch friend to leave, and when she does I'll follow her. That dumb bitch will lead me straight to Danielle.”

Having followed Shayla all day on Wednesday, Ethan thought it odd that she had not led him to Danielle yet.

Calling the rental office, he instructed them that he would need his vehicle an additional week.
  Just to be on the safe side, he thought to himself.

“Absolutely sir no problem, just give us a call if you need it longer.”
  Hanging up the phone, Ethan temporarily calmed his anxieties by telling himself that sooner or later Shayla was going to lead him to Danielle.

By the time Joe got off the phone with Mitch, he was calm. He had told Mitch that Ethan had come into the store loo
king for Danielle but that none of the employees would tell him anything about Danielle’s whereabouts, himself and Victoria included. “Mitch, I just wanted you to know that he was in here so you might want to give Danielle a heads up,” he urged.

“I'm heade
d home to be with her right now Joe, I'm not going to tell her that he came into the store. It would only upset her.” Joe agreed.

 
  “Joe, that asshole doesn’t know where I live and I’d like to keep it that way. But if he does show up, me and my .45 will be waiting.”

“Now you keep your head on straight Mitch, just let the police handle things and you all enjoy your weekend away,” Joe told his friend.

That night, Mitch made sure to lock every window and door in the house. He took his .45 out of the safe and while he watched Danielle sleeping peacefully, he put it next to him in his nightstand, crawled into bed and gently wrapped his arms around her.

 

Chapter Thirteen

 

By Thursday evening, Danielle and Mitch had packed their things and were waiting for

Jas
on and Shayla to arrive. Jason would leave his truck at Mitch's place and the group would take Mitch's other vehicle, a Nissan Xterra. “Mitch, I'm so excited, I've never been to Maine, what part is it in?”

“It's in Brunswick Maine and it's beautiful Daniel
le, I can't wait for you to see it.”

“Well if it's anything like this place Mitch I'm sure I’m gonna love it.”

“It’s older and more rustic but it's a log cabin. All the rooms have fireplaces too, it's not as big as this place but it's very cozy and romantic. I can't wait to get you alone in our room.”

“Oh really? And why is that handsome?”

“So I can do this all over your body.”

He pulled her close to him and while kissing her, slid his hands underneath her

cotton tee. Her nipples responded immediately to his touch as he caressed them above the lace fabric of her bra. With breath quickening, she responded in like and let her fingers gently scratch along his back as she pulled him even closer to her.

“Oh, I hope they get here soon, I want to
get on the road,” she said kissing him. ”But while we’re waiting…” she said seductively as she took his hand and headed towards the sofa.

“Shay honey you ready? Let’s go, let's go, were losing daylight here.”

“Alright, alright I'm ready.”

“Good, the soon
er we get there the sooner we can be on the road it's a long trip.”

“It’s only a few hours Jason,” Shayla said while playfully rolling her eyes. “But it’s a good thing we're going with people we like huh? And, since it is as you say, such a long drive you'
ll be glad that I brought all this food and drinks then won't you mister? So stop rushing me!” Shayla joked.

“I'm not hun; I'm just so ready to go.”

“Yeah, I know the feeling believe me. Okay babe lock everything up; let's load up the truck and head on out.”

As they set the house alarm and loaded up Jason’s truck, neither Jason nor Shayla paid any attention to the dark colored Ford Explorer that was parked several houses down.

“Yes, finally, what’s this?” Ethan spoke out loud sarcastically. “Looks like they’re going away. I bet they are going to Danielle and I bet they are all going somewhere together. Clever, very clever. No worries, I've got a car that you won't recognize and I've got it for as long as I need it. Danielle I'll go wherever you are, no matter where you are I will find you. As long as I stay a couple cars behind him, he'll never even notice I'm there.”

“That was Jason, they are on their way,” Mitch said as he hung up the phone. He and Danielle had just finished making love. He loved the way
she made him feel. The spontaneity of their last encounter was something he took great pleasure in. He was glad that Danielle had brought out his spontaneous side.

“Oh that’s good. I am so excited Mitch, this is going to be so much fun,” she said excitedl
y.

“Yes it will Danielle, you know had it not been for meeting you that night at Vic's I would never have gotten to know Jason better. I mean I knew him from work sites and stuff like that but we never said more than hello.”

“I'm so glad Mitch. Jason and Shayla, me and you. We all make such a great team.”

“Yeah, Jason and Shay are good people and I trust him with everything.”

“I'm so happy you feel that way. It would have been awfully awkward if you guys didn’t get along, what with me and Shay being best friends. I'm glad things turned out the way they did.”

“Me too, now let’s say we start loading up the truck,” he said after giving her a kiss.

They had just finished loading up the truck when Jason and Shayla pulled into the driveway. “Hey, since you guys are loading up, ya want to unload ours?”

“Ha-ha, get your ass out of that truck and come help. Hey Shay,” Danielle said and kissed her friend on the cheek.

“Hey guys, I'm so excited, this is gonna be the best road trip we've ever taken!”

“Shay? It's the on
ly one we've ever taken.”

“Oh Danielle, you know what I mean.”

“Hey, anybody gotta use the facilities before I lock up?”

“We’ve got a long drive ahead of us and I don’t want to keep stopping for bathroom breaks,” Mitch said.

“Oh what's the fun of not stopping?” Said Shay.

“She's right,” said Danielle. “I love stopping at out of the way places, truck stops, diners, meeting waitresses named Flo.”

“Okay you two won't be saying that when it's midnight and we stop at a truck stop out in the middle of nowhere and the bathrooms are disgusting and filthy and you’re not sure if Flo is a guy or a girl.”

“Alright maybe he's got a point; let's go use the bathroom Shay.”

“Yeah I agree. We'll be right back boys.”

Parked in what looked like an
entrance to an old farm, Ethan’s rented vehicle was concealed by low hanging tree branches and dried up corn stalks. “I knew it; I just knew it. Thank you bitch for leading me to my Danielle.” Ethan groped his hardening crotch as he caught a glimpse of Danielle. “Oh Danielle it's like seeing you for the first time, it's been so long. Now that I've found you, I'm not going to lose you again. Not even Neanderthal can protect you, soon you'll be all mine.”

 
“Everybody ready?” Mitch asked as they all climbed into the Xterra.

“Yup, let's go babe. This is going to be great!” Danielle said turning towards the back.

“Hell yes!” Said Shay and Jason.

An hour on the road and Shay had to use the bathroom again.

Besides the bathroom stop an hour in, the trip ran smoothly and since they left in the evening, there wasn't a lot of holiday traffic, which Mitch was quite happy about. They were making good time and if things kept going good they would reach the cabin at around ten pm. Mitch came up with a fun idea, since they were already close to the cabin, they had time to make a pit stop and grab something to eat if everyone agreed.

“Hey girls, there's a diner up ahead, you all want to stop for a bit and grab a bite?”

“Yes!” They both said in unison. Danielle and Shay had eaten pretty much all the snacks Shay had packed for the long trip.

Looking in one of the coolers Jason said, “Yeah Mitch you better stop, there's nothing here for us unless you want to suck on some beef jerky wrappers and a few drops of water.”

Laughing, Mitch pulled into Al’s diner.  “This looks quaint,” said Danielle as she got out of the truck and stretched. “Yes it does,” Mitch said as he joined and kissed her. “I've been wanting to do that the whole trip.”

“Come on guys let's go inside, I'm starving,”
said Shayla as she pulled Danielle’s hand and went inside.

“Oh isn't that so sweet? They are going to stop for something to eat. Go ahead and enjoy it while you can Neanderthal, you'll soon see what it's like to be without the one you love.” The idiot has
no idea that I'm even following them. Better for me though, less trouble. I wish I knew where you were taking her Neanderthal, but that’s okay, I'll find out soon enough won't I? I've got all night, just like you do!”

As they walked into the small and c
ozy diner located in downtown Maine, Danielle and Shayla fell in love with its charm. The smiles and nods from the few customers that were there made them all feel at ease. Their waitress, Karen, approached them with a warm, genuine smile. “Good evening folks, can I start you all off with a drink?”

“Yes, thank you, I'll have a coffee.”

“Me too.”

“Karen, make that coffee all around,” said Mitch.

“Sure thing,” she said giving him a wink.

“Oh, looks like somebody's got the hots for your man Dee.”

“Who? The waitress? Well she can look but she can't touch!”

Giving Mitch a seductive kiss. “He's all mine.”

Running her hand up and down his thigh, Mitch knew it would be awhile before he'd be able to get up from the booth.

While Shayla and Jason shared a cigarette o
utside, Danielle snuck a drag.  “Ohhh that's nice,” she said. “What's up with that Danielle? I thought you quit?” Asked Shayla.

“I have, I have but that was such a good meal I couldn’t help myself.”

Finishing up in the men's room Mitch joined them.

“You w
ant a pack Danielle?”

“Huh?” a guilty smirk on her face. “No, I better not.”

“Well let's get a pack anyway, sometimes I indulge in the occasional cigarette myself,” he winked.

Once he returned with the cigarettes, they got back in the truck, happy, full an
d ready to resume their road trip.

“We should be there in about fifteen more minutes’ guys,” Mitch said. He'd been driving for over an hour. “Good, cuz I gotta use the bathroom.”

“Geez Shay again?”

“Sorry, I can't help it, it's all that coffee.”

“I know what you mean Shay, I have to go too.”

“You ladies are too much,” said Jason smiling.

“Can you hold it kids?” Mitch joked.

“Yes we can dad,” Shayla joked back.

“Hey don’t make me come back there.”

The whole group laughing now began to get excited.

“We're here!” Mitch said as he pulled onto a dirt road. After driving about a third of a mile on the dark deserted road they arrived at the cabin. Several solar lights lit the way through a cobblestone path that lead to the front porch.

“Oh Mitch this pla
ce is gorgeous!” Said Danielle. 

“I'm glad you like it babe.”

They all got out and stretched while they admired the surroundings. Even in the dark you could tell it was beautiful. The outdoor lights illuminated the woods surrounding them.

“Okay, it's gorg
eous but I gotta go Mitch, let us in.”

“Okay, okay. Just let me think about where I put the key.”

“What? You don’t know where you put the key?” Shayla asked in a panic.

“I'm kidding Shay. Just messing with ya, keys right here. Welcome, make yourselves at h
ome.”

As they entered the cabin, Shayla was the first through the door and went in search of the bathroom.
  She yelled out “Eureka I've found it, thank god,” and let out a sigh of relief before closing the door to the bathroom.

“Mitch its lovely, look at t
hat fireplace.”

Danielle was gazing upon a fireplace that looked similar to the one at Mitch's place, except the stone surrounding it was lighter along with the woodwork. “Gosh, this place must be a sight in the winter.”

“Yes it is Danielle, it's gorgeous you'll see. I plan on all of us spending a lot of time here.”

“I'm gonna hold you to it buddy, this place is great.”

“Glad you like it man."

Mitch showed them around and Danielle noticed that the galley style kitchen held all new appliances. Custom made wo
oden bar stools lined the outer island. A long dining table sat in between the kitchen and living room.

The living room was cozy with a plush extra-long sectional patterned in plaid and a coffee table made out of logs sat in front of the massive fire plac
e. Built in shelves housed various board games, books, magazines and playing cards. On the opposite wall was a small built in bar with wine bottles lined up against the wall shelf behind it. Three more bar stools sat in front.  “Mitch this place rocks,” said Shayla as she returned from the bathroom.

“Glad you like it Shay.”

“Hun, Mitch here was just telling us that he plans for us all to spend a lot of time out here.”

“Sounds sweet ... Mitch thanks!”

“No problem, I'm just glad to be getting some use out of the place. Come on I'll show you guys to your room, it's late. We'll hit the hay tonight and get a fresh start in the morning. I've brought in the coolers; Jason and I will grab the rest of the bags and then head on up to bed.”

“Sounds good, show us the bedrooms first Mitch, I'm kind of tired,” said Shayla.

After showing Jason and Shayla to their room, Mitch walked with Danielle to theirs. The master bedroom was delightful with its king sized bed that held a massive hand carved headboard, a private bath, beautiful fireplace and a cozy sitting area complete with a pair of antique rocking chairs and a book shelf stuffed to the brim with books. “Mitch, it's darling, I love it.”

“I'm glad you like it,” he said encircling his arms aro
und her.  “You look so good in this place too Danielle. You seem to fit into my whole world," he said with a grin.

“And you fit perfectly into mine Mitchell Conway, this just all feels so good. Thank you so much for inviting us here.”

“You’re welcome babe.”

Their kiss was interrupted by a knock on the door from Jason and Shayla.

“Come on Mitch, let's go get the rest of the bags, they'll be plenty of time for smooching later.”
