Saturday night…

It had been two nights since our first date, if that could be counted as a date.

While we’d been picking ourselves up off the broken lounger and I’d been helping her to her feet, the lights had come back on. The sight of a naked Tabitha Newton, her hair a mess and lips swollen because of me, had made round two happen almost immediately after we’d finished round one. I’d gotten rid of the condom, carried her through to her bedroom, and that had been us until I’d had to get up to go into work at six o’clock the next morning.

A couple of people had been off sick from work with some sort of summer stomach bug that was going around, so I’d been working longer hours to keep us covered. Not wanting Tabby to think I was avoiding her after the night we’d had together, I’d told her I’d bring dinner round every night, and I had.

Over meals from Jilly’s Diner, we’d settled and become more comfortable around each other. That said, not once did I have my handcuffs out of arms reach, just in case. She still didn’t know my secret, and every time her mouth twisted when she mentioned what Jose had been through, or said she’d bumped into Rita in town getting groceries, I knew I was going to have to use them to get her to listen to me when the time came. I should have been honest from the beginning, but I hadn’t known that things would work out between us the way they had.

It was fair to say that I was the one who was ‘shook’ this time after hearing how he’d been dating Mrs. Keating for a couple of weeks, and that she’d found him naked in Mrs. Bane’s room. Old man Beck was nowhere to be seen, but the two women were pulling hair, trying to rip each other’s dentures out, and all the staff had just been standing watching it. After yelling at them to do their jobs, they’d informed me that the women were only in their assisted living area. Oh, and it wasn’t in their job descriptions that they were to get involved in volatile situations which could cause an injury to their bodies, so that’s why they’d called me.

Needless to say, I had a lot to say to the owners and management of the home and I’d done it in a strongly worded letter on our official paper. I’d also used my visit to old man Beck’s place to lay it out for him for an extra visit to see Tabby. She’d answered the door in
