River Creek, Astron City, UAC
***
Angela parked her SUV in their garage. She was back from her hometown at Barnsford. It was a long drive and took her 5 hours to Astron City. As she disembarked, she sighed heavily bearing the ungrateful feeling of unhappy married life.
The feeling was loathsome, the thought of having a nice home but a failing marriage, it was as if it became normal. Angela did not even have a solid definition of a happy marriage. She was not only unhappy but she was also hurting most of the time.
Their home was situated in a quiet neighborhood. Living inside their house provided an immense discomforting quietness that always drove her to cry. Their house was expensive for an average couple.
When they were canvassing for a house, Lance wanted to impress her wife when he was still active on duty. Thus pushing him to buy an ostentatious house up above the hill overlooking the beauty of Astron City. It was perfect to live a quiet and private life beyond the loudness of Astron City.
Glancing at their house's anterior, she shook her head unknowingly as a depressed feeling kicked in. Angela almost cannot recall when this negative feeling started. She resisted minding it much or hurtful memories would flood back her thoughts.
As she entered the house from the garage, she smelled a delectable aroma. It was a familiar smell of her favorite dish that she had missed for long years. Longer than she could remember.
She followed the smell, passing thru a wide isle of their living room connecting the kitchen. She found that Lance was the one cooking, wearing home clothes and an apron. Their dining table held a bottle of chilled expensive red wine and two wine goblets.
Angela was not sure of what her husband was doing. Her husband cooking meals was an odd happenstance. She could not remember the last time her husband had done something for her.
'I really could use a fine meal at this moment. I am famished.'
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"I am cooking, my dear. Isn't it obvious?" Lance answered as he looked over his shoulder.
"Is that Minestra?" (Minestra Manitata -- American-Italian soup dish that translated to wedding soup)
"Yeah," Lance answered as he glanced back at the dish on top of a low-heat stove. He stirred the soup professionally with the wooden ladle.
"Well, I miss you cooking for me. I cannot remember when was the last time you cooked for me since you retired." She said confusingly, still unbelievable what she witnessed.
She placed her shoulder bag on the nearest chair and sighed deeply. Lance only chuckled while stirring the pot.
"Is this your way of saying sorry?" Angela asked, still perturbed.
"Yes, dear. This is how I will make amends with you. If you accept it." Lance said while glancing alternately to her and back to his cooking.
Angela smiled back. The unfamiliar feeling had once again embraced her emotions. Her sadness was abruptly replaced by happiness.
Likewise, she saw radiance on his face like when they were newlyweds. She wanted this feeling again. She wanted to erase all the bad memories they had from the past. She wanted to start again.
They had their sumptuous meal together and left the dishes unwashed. Both giggled and continuously teased each other like they were back in their college days. They exchanged green jokes, talked about their happy past moments, recalled their foolishness together, and eventually they became horny of having shared thoughts of their past - wild and adventurous intimate moments while they were in their car or a public bathroom.
After they ate, they went directly to their bedroom.
Angela went inside the room first, galloping with her hand holding Lance from behind. When they entered the room, they stood face to face in front of their bed at arm's length apart. Angela and Lance locked their eyes together without any words uttered. An exchange of smiles to each other seductively and teasingly. Angela took her hair tie to untangle her ponytail and shook her head as her hair strands fell gently to her shoulders.
Lance's eyes were staring at her, wanting, needing, or even begging her to indulge intimately. The feeling of excitement filled the atmosphere.
He was all the time gloomy, and moody and they talked so little that it seemed their love for each other had faded. They became more like housemates than lovers. This time, for sure, everything would change for at least this particular night.
Lance just stood there while watching Angela unbutton her shirt from her neck to the bottom. Angela's black-colored bra protruded and showed her cleavage while undressing her shirt. She then slowly unfastened her belt, unbuttoned her jeans, and zipped it down halfway, showing the lace of her panties.
Lance took off his muscle shirt and threw it to the side while he locked his eyes on hers. Lance felt his temperature rose and specks of perspiration ran down his forehead. The moment he saw her wife undressed teasingly, it rekindled the wild side of him that only her wife had experienced during their married life.
It was like the first time Angela saw the chiseled body of her husband. His abs were still rock hard and his chest was still in emphasized form with a little bit of chest hair. She was figuratively drooling overlooking from his abs to his face and eventually she was not able to resist. Immediately, she grabbed him at the back of his neck pulling him onto the bed a few steps back while giving a hard kiss in his mouth.
Angela eventually lay on the bed with her legs spread wide and Lance was on top of her, pressing his muscular body to his wife's lean body. They were both French kissing for a long time while Lance's enormous right hand traveled from her face, clenching her neck slightly, down to her breast and the cheeks of her butt. She moaned softly, her body was perspiring and her temperature rose to above normal. Her mouth was so wet as they shared their saliva back and forth through their tongues.
'I love the way he does his foreplays. I am so wet.' She thought. Her thoughts grew wilder.
Lance pulled his lips from hers and looked into her eyes for a bit while saying, "I will fulfill my promise. From now on, you will be happy. I love you no matter what."
Angela did not say anything but instead, she replied with a slight grin and pulled his head with both palms pressed unto his cheeks to kiss him again torridly. Both hands were working on unbuckling her husband's belt and pulling his jeans down exposing his butt. Angela grabbed his husband's butt cheeks and grasped them hard while pulling them towards her widespread crotch. They both fully undressed their pants and let their jeans lay flat on the floor.
Now they were both naked, with no barriers, no armor, no clothing, only skin-to-skin. They both felt each other's body heat rubbing against each other. Angela cannot resist any more foreplay but led Lance to intercourse. It was like the first time that something slid inside of her, very hot, rubbing their skin and bare. She gave in to that feeling buried inside of her, awakening her animal instincts.
They both surrendered themselves to each other. The intimacy they shared lasted for hours on that very night. Her moan was unnaturally loud and reverberated to the confined walls of their room. Lance's best bed performance was demonstrated energetically like they were in a live show. They did not waste any time and expelled all energy inside of them. After on the bed, they did it on the floor, on the wall standing, and in the bathtub.
They both quenched the long thirst. They had let their drives and instincts take over their emotions. After they exhausted their energies from a brutal activity, they both lay on their backs while Angela cuddled to his husband's side. They were unable to move without exerting sheer effort and succumbed to a day's retirement. They both closed their eyes and their breathing was a little bit heavy with their mouths slightly opened, slowly subsiding.
'I could get used to this. This is a brand new start for us. Thank you.' Angela thought.
Lance was also deep thinking.
'It is unfortunate that this is the last. This is for the best of both of us and the greater good. I am very, very sorry. Because sooner, I will die.'
River Creek, Astron City Angela woke up the next morning from a very deep sleep. She stretched her arms wide, her breast widen, and straighten her back. She realized that their room was so messy. As her memory recuperates, her mind sent flashes of her and Lance indulging intimately with each other last night. She looked around the bed and realized that she was alone, with only crumpled bed sheets, pillows on the floor, and their clothes lying on the floor. This scenery made her smile. Not just a faint smile, but a meaningful one. No need for words to support her feeling. The intimacy they shared was worth a million words that rekindled their marriage a hundredfold. She missed him, she needed to cuddle more to relive their last night's experience. Her heart pounds fast and every beat demands to see her lover. Butterflies in her stomach defined her emotions. She went down to their kitchen and found 4 pancakes, 6 sunny-side-up fried eggs, and a plate of fried bacon served on their din
Route 55, Brensby, Bower City *** A fat and bald police officer, in his early forties, sat down on his chair with her both feet placed on top of his desk. He was eating peanuts and waiting for something to happen. Suddenly and unexpectedly, his landline phone rang loudly. The police officer stretched his right hand while staying in a slouched position. "Brower Police Station, this is Officer Jones." The police officer lazily answered as he always anticipated a prank call. "Officer, there is a car accident. The car collided with a lamp post and it is burning.. here in route 55." The anonymous male voice spoke at the other end of the phone. Officer Jones jerked and took his feet off the table and sat rigidly while hearing the voice over the phone. "Hello, hello, hello, who is this?" Jones exclaimed. The conversation was suddenly cut-off. "This is Roy. I am riding on Route 55 towards Astron. I just passed by a burning car right on the curb. Hurry up, maybe someone got hurt." It ans
Castle Rise Hotel, Bower City, UAC *** Bower City was known for its glorious Casinos, vast strip clubs, and luxurious hotels. Although the City was smaller than Astron, high-ranking officials, tycoons, and high-class citizens were frequently seen in the former to escape from work, destress, or find class hookers. It was declared the second Capital City of the United Alliance Confederation. It provided a large contribution to the UAC's economy due to its glamour and an indulgence of vice, inviting tourists from around the Globe. More foreign money came into this city than Astron. Bower City also held the second-strongest military stronghold. This city served as contingent for Astron if ever crisis overwhelmed the latter again. UAC officials made sure that these contingencies shall be solidified and sometimes enacted to truly augment the true strength of the Confederation. Even secret bunkers were also constructed within the City's territory to house VIPs if ever a second war would t
Base Camp, Mt. Elberus Captain Luke was lazily lying down on his cot facing up the ceiling. Mission Blacksweep never left his thoughts. It was not that his comrades have disappeared that troubled his mind but the moment he opened his eyes after he was unconscious. During the debriefing was all an act. An act to retaliate against any attempt from the Commander to exploit interrogative scrutiny. He remembered every detail of it after his unconsciousness on the night of their ambush. *** He found himself sitting on the tree where he hit his head. He opened his eyes and felt excruciating pain at his nape. Startled, he saw a tall and slim woman standing safely away from him. He quickly recovered from his dizziness and attempted to find his weapons but only found out that his holsters were empty. Even his helmet and his hand grenade were not on him anymore. He realized that there was nothing left to do but confront what was in front of him. He gathered all his might to muster strength w
Blackwolf Base camp, Mt. Elberus *** Agent Kate Brown, Lieutenant Lance Davis, and Commander James Johnson rode a Government-issued black Helicopter from Astron City to the secret base camp of Mt. Elberus. Lt. Davis looked downwards through a circular window of the helicopter's door watching the base's top view. Lance felt melancholic at the moment. He had a lot of feelings rushing inside his thoughts, but what stood out the most, apart from his memories of Angela, was the feeling of excitement to be in service again for the country. To be a hero again. The base camp had a small airstrip, 2 helicopters lined near the heliport, and 3 predators parked at the start of the strip. There were 3 large bunkers formed like domes and painted with brown camouflage all over them. These bunkers were made of 30-inch steel designed to withstand missile or even nuclear blasts. The Facility was fenced with electrified barbed wires on top of the solid concrete 100-meter-high square fence. There we
Blackwolf Base camp, Mt. Elberus Captain Luke gave a tight brotherly hug to Lance and tapped both each other's backs. Both considered themselves brothers; they did several missions together when they were assigned to the heart of a rebel nation. “I just can’t believe that you are here, alive and well,” Lance said with subtle happiness in his voice. “Me too, brother. I can’t believe you joined the cause and left your perfect life outside the service,” Luke responded. They released each other's hug. “It is far from perfect, yah know. Just missed the bullets. I guess.” Lance said. “Well, you are in the right place, Lance.” Luke tapped Lance’s shoulder. They have a solid carrier together and their team was known by high-ranking officials. They were assigned to special operations, rebel camps infiltration, and all was successful. Until the Captain had issues with his immediate superior. It was a discourtesy of conduct as he confronted his superior doubting the mission details. Then,
Blackwolf Base camp, Mt. Elberus *** Lt. Lance's training for three weeks gave a lot of muscle pain and body aches. The training was a bit overwhelming but it was fulfilling. He had never felt alive again after his last military deployment. He could feel his life streaming along his veins and awakening his inner self. His true self, the one who laid dormant while living outside the force. He was given 2 days' pause and rest to recuperate and heal his bruises. At 0400 H, Lance woke up from his bed and decided to jog around the compound to start his day, he went outside the quarters and out from the bunker wearing his jog suit and started brisk walking around the compound. He felt discomfort in every inch of his body and a jolt of pain every time he exerted effort. The compound was quiet with only a few night shift guards doing their rounds and on their respective guard towers. There was a lot of light inside the compound but there were a lot of dark corners. He noticed the entrance
Blackwolf Basecamp, Mt. Elberus *** Lance was lying on his bed, impatiently waiting for midnight. His room is a 12-square meters, enclosed with metallic walls and no windows in it. It contributed to the nervousness he had of a dangerous quest of curiosity. His thought flitted to his wife, who he knew was mourning. Then he convinced himself that she would be fine. Five million dollars would provide her with a fine luxurious living and start anew. The clock struck midnight, somebody knocked on the door. He hauled himself up and sighed heavily. ‘Here we go.’ He had not started his mission but he now had doubts about the integrity of their presence in the mountain. Still convincing himself that he was fighting for a greater cause, to stop another imminent threat from the rebels. He suddenly opened the door and found Kate outside his door wearing a tight black shirt, tight flexible pants, and hair pony-tailed. She said, "Can I come inside?" Lance was surprised to see Kate, his heart th
