The marine

The music is pulsating in my ears through my earbuds, my legs move rapidly on the treadmill. Movements in the mirror opposite captures my attention, my brother Dale is talking to a man I have never seen here before he's over six foot tall, his muscles are close to ripping his white t-shirt to shreds and his grey sweatpants fit him perfectly, his black short hair is neatly styled, his arms are covered with hot black ink. Realising I've been staring for too long I jump off the treadmill and start cooling down, Dale and the unknown man are making their way towards where I am stretching "Hey little sis, Katie just called she got an emergency appointment with the doctor. Would you be able to fill in the registration forms with Shane please? Then when your done just lock up" Dale pleads "Of course Dale, is Katie ok?" I worry about his response "Yeah she's just not feeling great, and I really need to go, oh by the way this is Shane Davey, Shane this is my little sis Becca." I hold my hand out to Shane who smirks taking my manicured hand "Pleasure to meet you Becca." "Likewise." I can't say anything else the pulse of electric from his hand is turning my body to jello and he's just smirking, his blue eyes are mesmerising. "Could you give Shane a tour also please Becca? I'll ring you and let you know how Katie is." Dale smiles "Of course." I reply and Shane smirks as Dale leaves the gym, right let's get this over with so I don't have to stay with Mr hot for too long. "Right Shane, follow me to the office please." He smiles which makes my insides quake "After you Miss." He laughs. Taking a seat in the office chair, I prepare the paperwork for Shane's registration trying to keep my eyes off his gorgeous face. "Right, I need to ask you some basic questions, is that ok Shane?" I make eye contact and a small smile plays on his lips "Yes, fire away." He smiles, after taking some basic information, I've learned his name is Shane Taylor, he is 25 years old the same age as me, I have his home address and his telephone number "Occupation?" I ask, and his body tenses "Marine." He answers, his smile falters slightly, I smile at Shane sensing his anxiety, "Okay, so thats registration done, now would you like a tour of the gym?" I smile and he grins, the mischievous grin has my body aching "Yes please, Becca." After showing him around most of the gym, I walk through the door for the changing and shower areas thankfully there's no one in "You can hire lockers per week/month/year if you need." I smile at him and continue "you can sort that with Dean whenever your next in." He grins "Is this area just for men or?" He gives a flirtatious smile "The areas I have shown you are men only areas and upstairs there's a female gym." I return his flirtatious grin "So, please don't be offended but why were you working out in the men's area?" I laugh at his question "Dale didn't tell you?" I smirk and he shakes his head "Because I'm a personal trainer and work in both gyms." I smirk as his jaw drops "s**t!" He clears his throat "So at least I know your occupation." He laughs "You know one of my occupations." I raise an eyebrow "You what?" He laughs, "I'm a personal trainer, a nightclub owner and founder of a charity." I smile and his jaw remains hanging "What nightclub do you own and what charity?" He smiles with the sincerest smile "Lavish the hottest nightclub in New York" I smirk, hoping he doesn't ask about the charity I continue "We are having a relaunch party tomorrow, you are more than welcome to attend if you like, just tell Steve on the door your name and he will let you straight in." I smile. "I'll be there for sure, so what about your charity?" s**t! I don't know how he is going to react to this, so I turn and head back into the gym, he follows "So mine and Dale's dad was in the military and our family always struggled with not being able to contact my dad when we wanted and the deployments were so hard for all of us." I stop to take a breath before quickly continuing to walk and talk "as we got older I realised that every military family struggled just like us, and I vowed if I ever had enough money and resources I would setup a charity to help military families with support, housing needs and bereavement support, I am currently planning a fundraiser for B.D support." I stop as a tight grip pulls my wrist, he turns me to face him "Are you for real?" He asks and I nod, he continues "B.D support is your charity?" "Yeah, it's doing well and I have a lot of regular clients and companies who donate regularly." His smile knocks the wind out of me and he pulls me into a hug, my body fits against his perfectly even though he is well over a foot taller me. "Thank you! On behalf of every military personnel and family!" He whispers into my hair "You are most welcome." I pull back and beam up at him. After talking for a while the office phone rings "Hello, 24 fitness, Becca speaking." "Becca it's me." Dale's voice booms through the phone "can you come up to the hospital like now!" He asks breathlessly "Dale, what's happened?" "Katie is in labour! She's asking for you!" "I'll head home and get my car, I'll be there as soon as possible." hanging up Shane looks concerned "Everything ok?" "Dale's fiancée is pregnant, she's in labour and she's asking for me so I had better go." I smile apologetically "I'll drive you up there if you like, you're too worried to be driving."he's definitely concerned. "Are you sure?" I ask and he nods "Let's go, call Dale on the way and you might be able to talk to him to keep him calm." Grabbing my bag and the keys for the gym "Thank you so much Shane." I smile as we get into the carpark he leads me to a silver Subaru WRX, my jaw drops "Damn good taste" I laugh, Shane's head tilts to the side in confusion "I've got her in black." I laugh and nod at the car "No way can a beautiful, generous woman like yourself also own one of these bad boys." He laughs and I flush at the compliment "If your definitely coming to the relaunch tomorrow tell me where to pick you up and I'll prove it." I laugh. The ride to the hospital is filled with conversation, he's home for another three months before being deployed again, pulling up in a parking space, Shane looks nervous "You okay?" I ask him "Okay, please say no if you want, but would you like me to come in with you? I know how long labouts can take and I could be your personal coffee boy." He smirks and I laugh "Come on, personal coffee boy we got work to do." I smirk and he laughs the sound tingles every part of body. Outside the delivery room, Shane has brought coffees for everyone and ice chips and orange juice for Katie, a few seconds after knocking on the door Dale exits and I laugh at the shock on his face when he looks between Shane and I "Shane brought me up here." I hand him his coffee and pick up Katies drink and ice chips and continue "he also bought these, am I ok to go in and see her?" I smile and Dale laughs "Yeah course, she can break your hand for a bit." He laughs and I head inside "Hey hon, how you holding up?" I ask her "Reasonably well." She laughs "whos that out there?" She nods at the window towards Shane "He's a new client at the gym and he's a marine, he gave me a ride up here cos I went a little crazy when I found out you were in labour." I laugh and give her the juice and ice chips "Shane also bought you these." I smile at her, she keeps looking out the window and smiling "He likes you, he's not taking his eyes off oh f**k " she's cut off by a contraction and she grabs my hand, the midwife checks and runs for Dale "Baby is coming now!" She shouts and closes the blind on the window "Want me to go babe? I can wait outside." I announce, she shakes her head as Dale comes in "I want you to stay!" She grabs my hand, After half an hour my beautiful baby nephew is born, tears slip down my cheeks but they soon stop "Ready for baby number two?" The doctor asks, after five minutes of us all gasping and shouting, she hands me my nephew, Katie goes on to give birth to my beautiful baby niece, everyone is completely overwhelmed by the sudden arrival of not one baby as expected but two beautiful babies, after a quick cuddle with them both, I exit to give them some time together, Shane jumps out of his seat when I walk out and concern etches his face "You alright? You're really pale?" I slump down onto the chair and he follows sitting next to me "I'm shocked, I was expecting a niece or a nephew but instead I got both." His brows shoot up in confusion "Its twins" I clarify, smiling fondly his mouth gapes and his mouth wide "f*****g hell, congratulations." He laughs after talking for a while we head to the hospital cafe and pick up coffees, knocking on the door "Come in" Dale shouts "Hey you four." I beam "is it ok for Shane to come in?" Katie and Dale both laugh "Of course." Katie winks in my direction, I hand Katie a latte and Shane hands Dale his, Dale moves out of the chair and offers Shane the seat, I walk over to the baby cot and beam with full pride at my niece and nephew "You got names for these two beauties yet?" I beam, Katie looks at Dale who responds "Yes, our daughter is called Rebecca." He beams at me, my hand flies to my mouth and Dale continues "our son is called Harry after dad." Tears form in his eyes and before I can blink tears flow down my cheeks and Dale wraps his arms around me as we both sob quietly "He would love to of met these two, and he would be so proud of you Dale." I whisper "He would be so f*****g proud of you too, baby girl." He responds, picking Harry up I cradle him close taking in his perfect features, I don't even notice for a while that Dale has gave Rebecca to Shane but when I see, my ovaries give a standing ovation, I didn't think he could look any hotter but holding my niece in his muscular tattooed arms, damn. "I suppose I best go shopping for a second lot of baby stuff" Dale laughs "Dont worry about that, I'll sort it, you stay with Katie and the babies and I'll go and get the stuff you need and get the nursery sorted I'm free for the rest of the day, once I'm done I'll come back up and see you all." I beam "You sure? If so I'll wire you so money." I can't help but laugh at Dale's response "I'm sure, and no you won't. Call it my baby gift to you." Katie gasps and tries to get up to give me a hug, but winces with pain "Stay there, I'll come to you." Perching on the side of the bed, she wraps her arms my neck "Thank you for everything Becca." She sobs. "Right you guys, I'm going to head off and get stuff ready for the babies, I'll pop back later, Dale I'll need to borrow your car as mines at home." "I'll give you a ride back if you like." Shane smiles, Katie laughs and winks, shaking my head at her "Thank you so much, Shane." Shane has been driving for ten minutes "Want to go straight to the baby store? Its only five minutes from here." He smirks "I'm sure I've taken up enough of your time today." I laugh "Not at all, I fact I've got nothing to do until tomorrow evening, you see this gorgeous woman has decided to invite me to her nightclub." He raises his eyebrows and laughs "Oh well lucky you." I smirk "thank you, it would be great to have some company." Inside the baby store I've already picked out two basinettes, two swings, sheets, blankets, clothes, changing mats, bottles, a steriliser and some nursery furniture after paying 2000 dollars, Shane has managed to pack everything except the nursery furniture into the car, while I pick a twin stroller, but I'm stuck between two options and the shop assistant has come to help "So Miss, if I may ask, what is your budget and what design do you like?" He asks standing to close "No budget and I like these two." I point at two side-by-side strollers "This one comes in black only with two carrycots, car seats and all the accessories and this one you can get all the parts in different colours." "Great, thanks." "No problem, and I'm sorry if this is to forward but would you like to give me your phone number?" He smiles, before I can respond a tattooed arm wraps around my waist "Yes, its too forward especially when her boyfriend is here." Shane growls at the store assistant, looking up at him he smirks at my shocked face, damn my body is on fire not to mention that I'm still in my gym clothes. The store assistants head whips between me and Shane and he scurries off behind the counter, Shane's arm remains around my waist and he soon notices and removes it "I'm sorry but that guy was a creep." He smirks which makes me laugh "Aww the big tough marine jealous?" I laugh and its met by his laughter. "Right you need to help me choose one of these." I point at the two strollers, he raises an eyebrow, standing behind the black framed with pink and blue carrycots he pulls it out of its space and walks around with it taking out my phone I capture a video of him pushing it around "Are you recording me?" He laughs and I nod and laugh, attaching it to a message I send it to Dale and Becca with the caption "Want this?" I laugh and hit send just as Shane appears behind me "Have you just sent that?" His eyebrows shoot up, I take a cautious step back and laugh as his phone rings, turning it so I can see the caller ID, I cry with laughter seeing 'Dale' on the screen, I only hear one side of the conversation "Hey mate." "I know, she's a f*****g nightmare." Shane stares with a mischievous look in his eyes and laughs "Shut it you! Dont worry pay back is a b***h!" He laughs again and that's when I realise "I've just took a video of a marine pushing a pram thats not even for him, proving he's actually a softie at heart. Oh god, what's his payback gonna be?" My phone with a message from Katie "I would very much like that pram and damn how the hell did you get him to push a pram?" I laugh "Good it will be delivered later, just asked him for his opinion and he started walking around with it, so perfect video opportunity. " "He's so into you! I doubt you would get another man to walk around with a pram let alone go into a baby store." "Shut up, he was only helping out." I roll my eyes and tuck my phone back into my purse. At the counter "I'll take the bugaboo donkey in pink and blue and can I have that and the nursery furniture delivered to this address" I hand him a piece of paper and continue "by tomorrow morning at the latest please? I will pay extra for express delivery." "Yes of course, would you like to know the cost of the pram with everything first?" He asks "No just ring it up please." I state and hand my card over. Shane and I are at Dale and Katie's Town House setting up all the baby equipment "You seem to know your way around baby equipment." I laugh as he puts the baby swings together, he shakes his head and rolls his eyes its hot! "My sister had a baby two months ago just after I got home and I sorted all the baby stuff for her." He smirks. After setting up and arranging all the baby equipment I call Dale who answers on the second ring "Hey Becca have you finished torturing poor Shane" he laughs "Hey Dale, and whatever do you mean" I laugh "You've had him wrapped around your finger all day" while Dale is talking I look up to see Dale brewing some coffee, he looks at ease and he just seems to be looking hotter "did you hear me Becca?" Dale laughs "Er, yeah. Shut up." I laugh "how are Rebecca and Harry?" I beam "They are absolutely perfect, both asleep and Katie has gone for a shower." "Good." I'm cut off by the door buzzer "I've got it" Shane strides to from the kitchen to the door "Thanks Shane." "So Dale is it alright to come up after I finish here?" He laughs "Of course, you've got him whipped already." Dale let's out a proper giggle "Hey he didn't give me a chance to respond." I laugh, turning my head Shane enters with boxes "Dale I've gotta go the rest of the baby stuff has arrived." "Alright Becca, make sure you bring Shane back up with you." He laughs and hangs up i shake my head and laugh "So, it turns out my brother wants me to take you back up to the hospital." He raises an eyebrow and laughs. The nursery furniture is all set up,the cots have sheets and blankets in them, the basinettes are ready and the pram is set up with the carseats beside the door so Dale can pick them up, sending a quick message to Katie "Hey babe, hope you and babies are ok, am I okay to use the shower and some of your stuff as I'm still in my gym gear." Within seconds "We are good babe, and of course no need to ask see you both soon ;)" oh god she's giving me the wink face. After my shower, I look through Katie's wardrobe, thankfully she was the same size as me before she got pregnant, stepping into a black bodycon dress that hugs my figure and sits midway down my thighs, I slide on a pair oh her black heels and brush my blonde hair into straight submission and apply light makeup. The sound of the heels on the lounge floor alert Shane to my presence, turning his eyes widen and he swallows hard "Ready to go?" I smile, Shane nods and I walk over to the table where he is standing his eyes growing wider as I approach, stopping right in front of him I reach my hand to table and collect my purse from behind him and turn on my heel to walk to the door when he lets out a breath, I smirk knowing he can't see my face but knowing the effect I had on him, just as I reach to open the door his hand presses against the door, I turn to him and look at him through my lashes "What are you doing Becca?" He gazes down at me, Putting on the best innocent face I can "Whatever do you mean Shane?" I bite my lip and take a step towards him, his eyes flash dark "I think you know what you're doing and I also think you're enjoying it, but the thing is two can play this game." He smirks and takes a step closer, my breath hitches and his grin widens "Let's go, shall we?" He smirks. My core aches for release, having him in such close proximity is driving me insane and the ride to the hospital is taking forever I cross my legs in the seat hoping to relax the ache but it makes it worse, glancing at my legs his breath hitches as he cruises down the road "In a dress like that you should be sitting with your legs spread." He grins, he's doing this on purpose "Why's that then?" I smirk, hoping to beat him "Because the opportunity to kill me is passing you by." He glances over his eyes darken, my breathing is rapid "I wouldn't want to kill you, but since I know what effect it would have on you." I stop and open my legs as far as they will go the dress hitches up my thighs slightly "f**k! I should of stayed quiet." He closes his eyes for a second trying to compose himself, I laugh "Don't try to beat me at my own games." I wink and he rolls his eyes. Shane parks in the car park and we walk into the hospital laughing and talking. Reaching Katie's room wr enter still laughing after Shane realised I won my game, he's promised me a rematch, Katie and Dale both stare at us and start laughing. Sitting in the chair, I cradle the babies and Katie takes photos of us while Dale and Shane have gone for coffees "So do you like him then?" She randomly asks and I laugh "Katie, I only f*****g met him this morning." "You didn't say no." She winks as I shake my head, I decided to tell her about our game and she's laughing uncontrollably as Dale and Shane enter "f**k I don't think I can handle laughing like that for a while yet." She laughs as she holds her post-partum belly. After Shane dropped me off at home I fell straight into bed and into a dream filled sleep. Its the day of my nightclubs relaunch, I've been to the hospital and finished getting the club ready and briefed my security team, and had a nap. My best friend Hannah has come to do my hair and makeup and she is going to come to the nightclub later "So what the hell has you so happy today and don't say its just about becoming an auntie." She laughs as she inserts the rollers in my hair, I tell her all about Shane "Girl, go for it. You deserve some happiness." She smiles while doing my make up "He's only home for another three months before being deployed again though, Hannah." We talk while she finishes my hair and makeup. I call Katie to tell her I will be up to visit them before I head to the club, in my bedroom I pick out two different dresses and call Hannah to help me choose "The black sequin dress definitely." She beams, slipping into it, its low cut and barely covers my ass Hannah picks out my black killer stilettos which will add at least six inches onto my height picking up my bag we head out the door and say goodbye, I slide into the driver's seat of my Subaru WRX, and cruise down the roads to the hospital, walking into Katie's room her jaw drops "s**t Becca! You look smoking." She giggles but continues "but I should warn you." She's cut off by the door opening Dale and Shane walk in but they both stop in their tracks and stare "Damn sis, you look beautiful" he wraps his arms around me "I'll come to the club for a bit tonight it will be later though" he smiles, and walks over to the babies, Shane seems too of lost his voice as he stares and I laugh and turn away from him and pick Rebecca up from her cot, after giving the babies a quick cuddle and a kiss, I say goodbye to Katie who pulls me in a whispers "Good luck girl, your going to need it, the way he's staring at you I'll be surprised if you can walk tomorrow." She laughs and pulls away, I roll my eyes and turn around "I'll see you and Dale there later." I smile at Shane "I'll walk you to your car." Shane smirks, crap! We walk through the hospital in complete silence, reaching the carpark he speaks up "Its official, you're definitely trying to kill me." He laughs as we approach my car "Why's that then?" I smirk as I press the fob and my black Subaru WRX pings unlocked "How the hell am I supposed to remain in control of myself when you look like that?" He smirks, I rest my ass on the hood of my car "You will just have to try." I laugh when I part my legs slightly and he swallows hard, but to my surprise, he takes a step forward and places his hands either side of mine on the hood of the car, he's so close I can smell the citrus and new wood cologne he has on, my breath hitches "You better save me a dance at least" his voice is low and husky, "I can't dance, this dress is too short." I laugh not wanting to tell him the real reason "I'm sure you can risk it riding up slowly but only for my dance." He whispers near my ear and my breath hitches "I can't risk exposing my bare core to everyone at my nightclub" I smirk, his eyes widen as he realises what I mean "You telling me you have nothing on under there?" He gasps, looking up at him through my lashes "Maybe" I smirk, his eyes close and his breathing increases, opening his eyes his gaze is hot on me, a moment of confidence rushes through my body and I stand making him stand straight his face an inch from mine, I give him a flirtatious grin and head around the car slipping into the driver's seat I quickly close the door and open the window and he walks around to the driver's side, leaning in the window "I'll be seeing you soon." He smiles and kisses my cheek before turning and heading back into the hospital, s**t my insides are on fire. In the club the atmosphere is amazing and we are at full capacity, I've caught up with the bar staff and security and so far everything is going great and the DJ is on fire. Hannah and I are in the balcony VIP area which gives us perfect view of the full club "So what happened after he walked you to your car?" She giggles, I tell her all the details laughing at her covering her mouth with her hand, my phone buzzes "Hi Steve, what's up?" "Boss, I've got your brother here, where are you so I can direct him." "Balcony. Thanks Steve." I hang up and look at Hannah "You ready to see Dale and Meet Shane?" I blush, Hannah and Dale have also been great friends and she's good friends with Katie also, she nods "Hell yeah." She giggles, within seconds, my body has goosebumps and I know Shane is near turning he looks so hot, in a white shirt sleeves rolled to elbows showing his arm tattoos and top bottoms undone and jeans that fit him perfectly with his short hair styled "Hey Becca, hey Hannah." Dale beams "Hi Dale" but she's staring at Shane which makes me giggle "Hannah this is Shane, Shane this is Hannah my best friend." He holds his hand out to shake and she takes it all listel eyes which makes me laugh again, I'm laughing so much that I don't notice Shane moving towards me, he wraps his arms around my waist and whispers "I hope you saved me a dance, I can't get the image of whats under that dress out of my f*****g head" his voice and low and husky "Get a room" Dale laughs, I turn my head to glare at him and he laughs but I soon regret turning my neck as Shane places a hot but gently kiss over my pulse sending heat flooding through my body "Of course I saved you a dance, and as for that image well there's nothing I can do about that." I giggle in his ear as he groans. All of us are sat in the booth Dale, then Hannah, then me and Shane all drinking orange juice as I'm driving, Dale is going back to the hospital, Hannah has work in the morning and I have no idea what Shane's reason is. After a while Shane's hand slowly finds it's way onto my knee, my breath hitches at the contact and it only gets worse when his hand travels north and stops just two inches from my core, my whole body wants more. Holding his hand out "Up for a dance Becca?" His smile sends the heat pooling between my thighs, I nod and take his hand, briefly looking at Hannah and Dale who are giggling like school children as we make our way down to the dancefloor.
