The drive with Keith was mostly quiet, but Rosa couldn’t help but notice the sideways glances he gave her. They weren’t too frequent, but they were obvious the times he did them. At first, she wondered if she just looked that bad. Her body was covered with soot and dirt after all. She quickly realized though it wasn’t that. He was checking her out.
He didn’t say anything though. And she tried to pretend like she didn’t notice. It seemed the easiest for both of them.
The drive was short. Rosa was grateful. She could have ran it much faster. But that wasn’t what she wanted.
She hurt all over. Even her skin ached. But more than anything she didn’t want to be alone. Having Officer Kenwood—Keith—with her made her feel not quite as broken. She still didn’t know how to explain this to the others, but she knew she would have time to figure it out.
Keith pulled the car up in front of her apartment. “Well, this is the place. I’m sorry about your friend.”
“Thank you. Could you please do me one last favor?”
“Of course.”
“Please just walk me to my room.”
Keith unbuckled his seatbelt. “Not a problem, ma’am.”
Rosa felt like she was falling apart, but she walked up to the apartment under her own power. Mama and Papa raised her to to be self-sufficient. Despite her aches and pains, she knew she would be fine. Her bruises and abrasions would heal before the day was out.
Keith walked her to the elevator which by some miracle was now working. He pressed the button and waited next to her, acting the gentleman the entire time.
When the elevator arrived, he even pressed the button for her floor. She gave him a weak smile as the elevator rose.
Keith held the door open for her when the elevator arrived. She walked out and pointed down the hall towards her apartment door. She started down it with him a step or two behind.
It took only a few seconds to reach her door. The lock was finally fixed. She slid her key in and found it worked just fine.
“Well, you’re home. I truly am sorry for your loss, Rosa.”
“Thanks, Keith.” She glanced back into her open apartment. “I don’t—would you like to come in?”
“Yes, I would.”
Rosa wasted no time once they were inside. As soon as the door clicked shut, she grabbed Keith by his tie and pulled him in close. Before she even really understood what they were doing, they were kissing. His hands roamed across her body. She felt herself react immediately.
She was no virgin, but she never felt anything like this. She didn’t just want him. She needed him. Only he could fill the emptiness inside her.
He pulled his lips away from hers. “We shouldn’t. I’m on duty and you’re a mess and—”
Her hand snaked into his pants. His words cut off as she pushed his pants down to his knees. She stroked him as she spoke. “Do you really mean that? Do you really want to leave?”
“No,” he said. He kissed her again. She didn’t even bother moving. She just pulled him to the floor of her living room. She yanked her jeans down in seconds. In another, he was inside her, thrusting wildly.
She groaned and ran her hands up his taut back. She couldn’t see them under his shirt, but she could feel his muscles. Keith certainly worked out.
He grunted, clearly past the point of control. “I—are you on birth control?”
In answer, she just clamped her legs around him as he thrust. She felt him explode inside her. His climax set off her own and she was lost suddenly in the bliss.
As she came down from her afterglow, she wasn’t sure why she did it. She certainly wasn’t on any birth control. Her upbringing taught her it was wrong. Of course, her upbringing also taught her premarital sex was wrong and she was certainly breaking that rule as well.
It didn’t matter, she supposed. Her metabolism made pregnancy highly unlikely. A child wouldn’t survive the routine rigors of her body. The doctors in Guadalajara told her that when she was barely out of her teens.
“Are you okay?”
Keith’s words brought her out of her own revelry. She focused back on him and gave him a smile. “I feel better. That’s for sure.”
“I shouldn’t have done that. It was inappropriate. I took advantage—”
Rosa laughed. His protests were amusing when she stil could feel him shrinking inside her.
“What?”
“You didn’t do anything I didn’t want you to do. How long is the rest of your shift?”
“Technically it’s over, but they might still need me back at the site.”
“Can you get out of it?”
“Yes.”
“Then do it.”
He cut an amusing figure as he placed a phone call without any pants on. It didn’t take him long to finish. He flipped the phone shut and turned to Rosa.
Rosa stood in the door to her bathroom. She gave him a smirk. “Are you done for the day?”
“Not even close. But my work day is over.”
Rosa laughed. “You said I was a bit dirty. Do you care to help me clean up?”
He looked her up and down. “I’m not sure how clean we’re get.”
“We’ve got all night. I’m sure we will find a way.”
“I’d definitely like to try.”
Keith walked over to her and took her in his arms. He kissed her for just a second. But she didn’t let him take control. Instead she pulled him into the shower. She planned on enjoying this night.
