I think you all understand what will happen if you
take this, right?

Chapter 6

	" Are you okay?" several minutes later Howie spoke.
When he had tried to move away from her, she had
protested so he was still inside her, still on top of
her, using her breasts as pillows. She was running her
hands through his hair and never before had this sort
of position been more comfortable, more right than
now, with this woman.
	" Yes. After what just happened...I've
never...well..." Kasey was embarassed and Howie lifted
his head to look at her.
	" You've never what?" he asked gently. She blushed
red and her hands in his hair stilled.
	" I've never experienced that kind of reaction with a
man before," she finally whispered and he was silent,
watching her, feeling an inordinate sense of male
satisfaction.
	" No man?"
	" No. I mean, I've been with other men, but not one
of them made me lose control like that. I...I just
never had that sort of experience before," she said,
not looking at him. He ran a finger over her mouth and
under her chin, lifting her face up so their eyes met.
	" That makes me feel incredible," he said and kissed
her gently. They broke off the kiss and Howie laid his
head back down on her breasts, closing his eyes,
hearing her breathe deeply in and out.
	" Why did you become a police officer?" her voice
broke the comfortable silence in the room. 
	" Why?"
	" Yeah, why a police officer?"
	" Well, I was in the entertainment industry before
this, a very successful singer. But towards the end,
it became too fake, too phony. I thought that I was
happy being who I was at that stage but one day, I
looked at myself in the mirror and the person staring
back at me was a complete stranger. Someone I didn't
want to know anymore. So I left an industry I had been
involved in ever since I was a teenager and chose the
police force. That was three years ago, and I haven't
regretted it since," he said, his breath warm on her
body.
	" Why did you leave something you had been in for so
long and start a new career? And doesn't the
entertainment industry pay better than a police
officer?"
	" It was never about the money for me. Even when I
was loving my job before, I did it because I loved it.
Which is why I do what I do now. I love it. I can look
at myself in the mirror every morning and like the man
I see there. I know that what I'm doing is for the
safety of others," he said.
	" So what do you do on the force?"
	" At the moment I'm a traffic cop. I was restricted
to desk duty a year ago because of a screw up on an
assignment," Howie said, his voice low and serious.
	" What happened?" Kasey asked after several silent
moments.
	" A witness in my protection died," he muttered
hoarsely and she was silent," Does that undermine your
confidence in me now?"
	" No. Never. I know that you're a good officer, that
you're a good man. And I place my life in your hands.
Whatever happened to that witness..."
	" I got involved with her. I fell in love with her
and let my guard down for only a minute. By then, she
was dead, in my arms, a bullet to the brain. I killed
her Kasey, by getting involved with her. And I've just
done the self same thing with you," he said, angry at
himself. He withdrew from her, causing a small gasp to
escape from her lips, a cry he tried to ignore but
couldn't, with her hands moving over his body, down to
his manhood. She captured him with her hands and
started stroking him, making him moan and sweat to
break out as he tried to control himself, to tell his
body to stop reacting to her touch. But it didn't. It
wouldn't. He grew hard and aching, more aroused than
he ever thought he would be, just by the simple
touches of this woman. She moved her hands from him
and pushed him down onto the bed, then straddling him,
leaning over his arousal and touching  her lips to his
heat. He moaned and arched his hips as she closed her
lips around the head of him and ran her tongue over
the tiny notch at the top," Kasey..."
	" Relax Howie. Let me do to you what you did to me,"
she whispered, removing him from her mouth for that
brief moment, but  resuming her sweet torture on him,
leaving him with no option but to lay back and enjoy.

	Kasey awoke to bright sunlight and the smell of
freshly brewed coffee. She rolled over with a slight
groan, her body sore in the most unusual places and
she was thankful that Howie wasn't around to see her
wince and blush red. What that man could do...she
thought as she threw back the sheets and grabbed her
robe from the chair by the bed. Tying it around her
waist, she walked quietly out to the kitchen, stopping
short when she heard Howies end of the conversation.
	" They still think she's lying even though someone
else saw the same man she described in the area?"
	" Thats ridiculous, you know that Cap. She is not a
whore. How do I know? I just do, okay?" he was silent
as the other man spoke," No! Damn it, you cant take me
off this. If anyone else is sent over here, she may
just bolt. She's terrified Cap. Absolutely terrified.
A stranger will only scare her more. Let me stay. I
have to do this." Kasey covered her mouth with a hand.
She knew why he had to do this. He had something to
prove, to himself mostly, that he could keep a witness
alive.
	" Thank you. No, no sign of anyone last night but its
only early. Yes Cap, we're going over the plans today.
Dont worry, I'll call in as soon as anything happens.
Talk to ya later boss." Kasey waited several minutes
before entering the room, a bright smile on her face.
She wasn't going to let on she had heard anything.
	" Good morning Howie," she said as she poured herself
a cup of coffee. Taking a sip of the brew she almost
winced at the strength of it. Howie saw her slight
hesitation and laughed wryly.
	" Good morning to you too, and I'm sorry about the
coffee. My experience of making this is nil. I usually
buy my coffee ready made, but I didn't want to leave
you while you were still asleep," he said, putting
down his cup of coffee and walking over to her. He
wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to
him, looking deep into her eyes," How do you feel this
morning?"
	" Fine," she said and blushed.
	" Really?" he asked and she laughed softly.
	" Okay. Sore. I've never participated in all night
marathons," she teased and Howie laughed, kissing her
on the tip of her nose.
	" All night marathons?"
	" Yes Mr Police Man. All night marathons. Anymore of
them and I wont survive," she teased and he laughed.
	" Oh I think you'll have the stamina to survive a few
more," he whispered and kissed her gently, thoroughly,
wringing a low moan out of her.	
	" I may be able to survive them but not now. I dont
think I'd even be able to move let alone..." her words
were cut off by another kiss.
	" Then just lay back and let me do the work," he
whispered, bending down and lifting her up and
carrying her back into the bedroom. He placed her on
the bed and slowly removed the tie of her robe, his
eyes lighting with desire as her body was revealed to
him. He quickly shed his boxer shorts and joined her
on the bed, laying on top of her, resting against her
femininity. His head bent to lavish her nipples with
his tongue, raking his teeth over them, drawing them
into his mouth and twirling them around, bringing them
to painful attention. She wrapped her hands in his
hair and held him close, urging him on with her cries
of pleasure. She cried out as he sank his teeth into
her flesh, but it was an exquisite sense of
pleasure/pain that was experienced. As his mouth was
busy at her breasts, his hands moved down to her
aching core, and as he slid his fingers over her, she
arched her hips, pressing against his hardness,
causing him to bite down harder on her. His finger
slid over the hot crease, pressing against her clit,
rubbing it gently, slowly at first and then harder and
faster, circling it, pinching it, twisting it causing
sensations of pain and pleasure to merge, causing her
orgasm to be incredibly intense, as she grasped his
hair and sobbed his name, her voice weakening as
another just as intense orgaasm racked her body.
	" Damn," she whispered huskily after her breathing
had slowed.
	" Didn't I tell you that you'd survive?" Howie asked
and Kasey laughed.	
	" Oh yeah but we aren't finished yet, I hope," she
said teasingly and he kissed her deeply.
	" Not even close baby," he said.	
	" You know, I've always wondered what it was like to
use those handcuffs of yours..." her voice trailed
off, as if she were embarassed to admit it. Howie
leaned over and grabbed the handcuffs from the bedside
table, where his gun was placed and ran the cold metal
over her breasts and down her stomach.
	" Lets find out," he said and moved over her,
bringing her arms above her head and cuffing them to
the steel posts of the bed. He looked down at her and
smiled when he saw her eyes closed and a small smile
on her face. Kissing and licking his way down over her
breasts and stomach, he lifted her hips up and placed
a leg over each shoulder, breathing in her muskiness
deeply. He started kissing his way up the inside of
one of her thighs, placing gentle nips against the
soft skin, licking and sucking the flesh, making her
moan softly, her hips arching a little in the air. He
stopped his kissing and licking just before he reached
her feminity and transferred his attentions to her
other thigh, exacting the same response out of her.
This time however, he didn't stop, instead continuing
his way to her core, parting the soft folds gently,
running his tongue around her clit, taking it into his
mouth and sucking on it, then moving his tongue down
to her entrance and tasting her sweetness, running his
tongue around it before entering her, as far as his
tongue would go. Her hips arched up she dug her heels
into his back, bracing her body against him as he
licked her clean, then took her clit into his mouth
and sucked and teased it until she cried out as an
explosive orgasm sent her soaring up, her cuffed hands
straining against their bonds, the sound of metal
meeting metal ringing in the air along with her cry of
satisfaction. But he didn't stop there, instead
plucking the tiny nub until it was throbbing and
tender to touch. And just before she was about to come
again, he left her clit alone and ran his finger down
to her entrance, inserting a finger inside her and
pushing it far inside, until it hit the tiny bundle of
nerves that made her arch again and a husky satisfied
cry to escape from her mouth. And it was then, and
only then that he placed her back on the bed, moving
over her, parting her legs so he could rest in between
them.
	" The way you make me feel," she whispered to him as
he thrust into her. He stayed very still, resting his
complete body weight on top of her, pressing against
her breasts, pushing his pelvis against hers, making
her moan and twist her hips, causing him to bite down
hard on his lip as his control threatened to snap,"
Uncuff me Howie." 
	" Why?" he asked, reaching over and grabbing the key
off the bedside table. He reached up and uncuffed her,
making her gasp as he moved deeper into her. She
slipped her hands out of the metal bonds and placed
them flat on his chest, pushing him up and over so he
was the one laying on the bed and she was on top. How
they managed to stay joined she didn't know but he was
still buried deeply inside her when she straightened
and reached up, brushing the tips of her breasts
against him, as she cuffed his hands to the bedpost.
She kissed his face, tracing his lips with her tongue,
running her tongue along his teeth, exploring his
mouth with a thoroughness that surprised and aroused
him. She could feel him grow even harder and hotter
inside her and she moved experimentally, capturing his
moan inside her mouth, running her hands down his
chest, raking her nails over his nipples, leaving red
welts behind. Then she started moving, slowly at
first, bringing him to the edge of desire, then
stopping, and waiting until he calmed down, then
moving again, faster and faster each time, until she
couldn't stop, wouldn't stop. She cried out as her
completion washed over like a flood, and with a tiny
twist of her hips, she brought Howie along on the
ride.
