Babes Stripping For Love

It was one month later when Mara finally moved back to Keegan’s. They would’ve done it sooner if not for the job that Keegan had to do for Seamus. He didn’t want her to be alone at the house when he was out of the country. Her arm was getting better, but still, Keegan said that he felt unease leaving her alone with Cody. So they stayed longer at Seamus’s.

Cody was enrolled back to his school under his real name, giving a backstory that he was previously in danger and had to go under a false name. But kids being kids, Cody was accepted in his social circle immediately. Mara’s little brother was happy and enjoying his school time as if he had never taken the time off.

Mara, with the help of Keegan, decided to tell the truth about his dad to Cody, but not reveal why the man had died. They both thought it was best for Cody to know as little as possible, though Keegan did get a copy of the ‘official police report’ of the incident that led to his dad’s death should Cody asks when he’s older.

“Hey, how are you doing?” Charlotte asked with a cheerful tone when Mara came back with her cup of coffee. She was meeting Charlotte, along with Bree, Dee, and Cassidy. While Mara was recovering, they have been meeting for coffee and lunches. Mara had shared her story with Bree, Dee, and Cassidy and the women have been extra kind to her. There was no judgment about her past only their support towards her future and Mara didn’t think she could have found such better friends in them.

“Better, we’re settling in at Keegan’s, and as you predicted Cody was all cool with me sleeping in his room.” Mara laughed softly and the women were giggling over her fuss weeks ago, thinking how Keegan insisted on their little room arrangement.

“That brother of yours is going to grow up into a very smart young man.” Bree grinned and was back to scrolling on her phone. Lately, she was worried about another employee of Babes that she was taking under her wing. Jojo had been texting her back and forth, and they have been discussing Ivy and her little girl Leia.

“Thanks,” Mara replied before sipping her coffee.

“So, how is Keegan taking the news that you’re going to start working at Babes again?” Cassidy asked telling Mara how Rowan had insisted that she quit working at Babes. “Men are possessive, but we love them anyway, right?” she gave her signature cocky smile and they all laughed.

“Um… I haven’t told him. I mean, I’m sure he’d be fine with it. I won’t be dancing. I’d be helping Jojo and probably Rocco whenever he needed an extra pair of hands behind the bar. So, he shouldn’t be having any issues with it. I needed money. So…” Mara shrugged and the girls nodded.

“Yeah, my man has been complaining that he needed more bartenders. Since the last bartender resigned he had been juggling with training new guys, especially on weekends. At least I will have a friend to chat with when you’re around. Ugh… Rocco had been deprived of recent gossip with his drink orders. He barely had time to chat on weekends.”

“Rocco, gosh I can already imagine his hungry for gossip face. You know that you two are made for each other right? Cassidy giggled, making the rest of the women laugh. Their afternoon coffee time ended as it was time for Bree to pick up her little Hazle and Mara also need to get to Cody’s school. Dee was off to Babes while Cassidy and Charlotte went back to their homes.

When both Cody and Mara finished their dinner, Keegan was still not back from work. Her little brother had come to learn about the uncertainty of Keegan’s working hours and he had stopped waiting for the guy when dinner time arrived.

Then, when Keegan did get home Mara was usually in bed already. But because Mara remembered what Cassidy asked at their coffee meet, she decided to wait up. Mara was taking her relaxing bubble bath after Cody was in bed. She was closing her eyes, taking in the calm while her mind was busy thinking how she was going to tell Keegan about going back to work at Babes.

“Hey,” His deep sexy voice greeted her before he kissed the top of her head. “How’s coffee with the girls?” Keegan asked while he started taking off his suit jacket, then put away his guns in the safety box on his side of the walk-in closet. Yes, Mara had learned that his job required him to carry guns. She had a vague idea of what kind of business Seamus Braddock was dealing and strangely she felt safe knowing that Keegan can make both her and her little brother safe.

Mara was not ready to tell him about her afternoon, instead, she asks, “Join me?” Mara plastered on her sweetest smile and Keegan had no intention of saying no to her.

“Hmm… you know you don’t have to ask me. I know you like watching me take off my clothes.” He chuckled when he could see her cheeks pinked even in the dim lighting of his spacious bathroom. He smirked when he takes off his tie and unbutton his shirt. The rest of his clothes were thrown into the laundry basket within moments and the man was naked, giving Mara an unobstructed view of his sculpted abs and muscles.

She smiled happily when he join her in the bathtub, sitting behind her, with his legs to her sides. When he kissed her shoulder Mara let out a satisfied moan and snuggled to his naked chest while his hands embrace her from behind.

“I love you,” he whispered, kissing the top of her head.

“I love you too,” she whispered back. A month after their confession, they have been free to express their feelings, and the L word was thrown around a lot. Though they said it many times, they know that their feelings for each other were true.

“Keegan…”

“Hmm?”

“I’m going to go back to work at Babes.”

Silence.

Keegan tensed but said nothing. Mara could already see his brain was trying to digest her little information dump.

“Keegan…” Mara unlatched herself from Keegan’s embrace and turned around to face him. They were naked and the bubbles were barely covering her breasts. But she needed to look at his face for what she was about to say. Mara could feel the heat of her cheeksOriginal content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why? Is it the money? why won’t you take my money? I can pay for Cody’s education.”

“Keegan, I’m not going to dance anymore. I will be helping Jojo in the back office and probably help Rocco whenever he needs a hand behind the bar.”

“I told you that I’m going to take care of you? why won’t you let me do that?” his tone was getting impatient and Mara was starting to get uneasy about the whole situation. Her mind was back to thinking if she had made a mistake by trying to work again and she had upset the man that she loves.

She flinched when he put his hand on hers and he backed away at once. “I’m sorry, baby, I didn’t mean to scare you. I love you, okay… but you have to understand that Babes is not the kind of place I want you to work at. Not that you needed to work, I told you that already.”

“But… but I need to contribute to this household, Keegan. I can’t just lounge around and do nothing all day.”

“I’m not saying that you can’t. I’m simply stating that you should wait awhile, at least until you find a better place of employment. In the meantime, you can spend more time with Cody and your friends. You have been working too hard before this, and you said yourself that with your previous job, you hadn’t spent more time with your little brother.”

The way that he explained it made more sense and Mara was starting to relax when he pulled her closer and tilted her face, pressing his lips on hers. “Stay here,” he kissed, “Take as much time as you need,” he deepened the kiss and Mara finally relent as she swooned and took all of his words when he positioned her to straddle him.

“Keegan…” she moaned his name when his cock stretched her insides. Her body melted to his front as their kisses were getting more intense.

“Fuck, you’re so tight,”

The friction was getting her high, she was relaxed and needy at the same time while he couldn’t get enough of her. The water splashed out of the tub until he tugged the plug, draining it, while he kept on thrusting from under her. Mara’s back arched sensually and he latched his mouth to her nipple, lightly biting and sucking, making her clenched his cock tighter with every thrust.

“So close… Keegan, harder,”

The man groaned and he moved to her other nipple and she wrapped her hand around his neck, keeping his head pressed to her chest while her hips steadied by his grips. With each thrust, the bathroom was filled with heavy moans.

When she finally let go, Mara leaned down to kiss him, drowning her moans of ecstasy with their slow sensuous kisses.

He helped her up, rinsing before drying their bodies. Mara let him carry her to the bed and she forgot all about her work issues when her eyes were heavy and she was engulfed in his arms, under the fluffy cover, feeling all the love that he has for her.
