Danville, Kentucky - Truck Station

Zoie

4 months pregnant

––––––––

“What are you doing? Is this really how you want to get me back? I mean, really? Best case scenario here ... how do you see this playing out? This insane plan of yours actually works. You win me. Then what? Is that really how you want to have me back in your life? Put me and my unborn child in harm’s way? Subject me to a life and situation that endangers me? is that truly how you want things to be for me? do you believe the person willing to do such a thing to a pregnant woman would be the most appealing man on the planet? Say all of this does work out just the way you want it to work. Would you truly be happy?”

Devin’s dumb ass pauses for a beat then nods his head.

“Yes I would. I’d be ecstatic.”

Rolling my eyes, I have nothing to offer him but sarcasm and disdain.

“I hear the words coming from your mouth, but I feel this sexy body is telling me something different.”

My body physically, violently reacts to the craptastic one’s statements.

“Look at her. She’s into what you’re saying.”

The incredulous look I toss his way is missed because he’s too busy being validated by the first idiot.

“That’s absolutely pathetic.”

“What? What did you say, little girl,” the older of the two stated while producing spittle that lands on my bare skin.

Great! Now I’m diseased. They’re going to have to amputate my damn arm.

I release a low snort as I decide how I’m going to respond to these two numb-nuts.

“I said the two of you were pathetic if either of you thought my reaction was in any way sexual and expressed possible interest, Old Man.”

“Yeah, that’s right. I’ll be your old man. I like them feisty. Those make for the most fun and tend to keep me interested.”

“The only way you can keep your dick hard is if you have a woman or possibly man—I feel like it depends on which way your dick swings that week-—is fighting you? Does he do it for you? Do you get to complete while he’s inside of you?”

My question is to the first guy and I see a sign of confusion. There is a question of how I knew that was what was going down between the two of them. In the next moment, I see the confusion change to anger. He’s pissed that someone else knows what’s going on between the two of them.

Settling back on the wall, I see a little something else. The other guy is embarrassed because he was trying to put on this act and it failed.

“What gave us away?” the younger of the two asks.

“Aid, what are you doing, man?” the older guy looks as if he’s pleading for the truth not to come out. “I don’t know what you’re doing, but you need to stop right now.”

The latter part of that statement is directed at me. He’s not ready for his secret to be known. Having been around Sam for the better part of three years, I can recognize the signs of denial of one’s sexual preference.

“No one knows that you like both sexes, do they?” I ask the older guy.

Aid silently responds by shaking his head. The older guy notices my glance to the left of him and gets up in the guy’s face.

“What are you doing? We’re not supposed to be befriending her. We’re supposed to be trying to get information out of her.”

“That may be your goal, but I’m not cut from that cloth. I’m in love with you and I’m tired of hiding it from everyone. I get that you get hard for me and for women. I accept that. I’m just tired of being in the closet with all of your other toys.”

The older man has the younger guy by a few pounds as well as inches in height. In a move I didn’t expect as his response, he backs the guy up into the corner and pins him against the wall. His forearm is against Aide’s throat and pressing on it.

“Take it back!” the older guy growls.

“You forget this doesn’t frighten me. this is foreplay for us, so you’re not doing anything but posturing for her benefit. I could offer you my cock right now and I know your tongue would flick out to taste me, wouldn’t it?”

As if he is willing to test his theory, Aide begins to undo his fly while the older guy holds fast to his grip.

“Stop.”

“Only if you’ll admit that you’re weeping in your pants at the thought of her seeing me feed you all of my cock. Tell her how much you love the taste and flavor of it. Let her know that enjoy feeling me stretch you in every way possible. Speak the words that are in your heart and I’ll stop. I won’t tell her anymore beyond what I’ve stated and this last comment. You tremble at the simple thought of me getting hard for you when you’re naked before me.”

The older guy releases his hold and drops to his knees. Aide steps forward and strokes the older man’s head.

“I didn’t think I was ready for anyone else to know, but it feels good having someone else hear the words. I do love you. I love women too, but only because I want to be a father.”

Well hell! This is an interesting turn of events. I didn’t expect this one to unfold in front of me.

“If that’s what you want, Trav, then that’s what we’ll have. We’ll get to work on that right after we’re done with this shift. Once relieved, we’ll work on relieving the pressure I know you’re feeling. We’re also out of the HR. you got me?”

Travis nods his head in agreement.

“Whatever you want, Aide. If you want out, then we’re out. I know you’re only here because I’m still here. We walk and that’s it.”

Who would’ve guessed my wild, joking accusation was spot on. That’s far more than I expected to get out of this. I’m glad I’m totally off the menu. Even if he were still interested in me, he couldn’t have what he wanted. I’m already knocked up. It can’t be seen in the frumpy clothing I’m wearing but my baby is growing inside of me.
