Babes Stripping For Love

147. Acceptance



Rockford was fussing with their breakfast, he had ordered room service for the complete continental breakfast before easing them on the happy news. Well, it was a happy one for him. He hoped that they would feel the same way about it too. It was a new opportunity and if last night was an indication, he knew that he was going to have lots of warm nights in their bed.

With him running on point for the position that Max was trusting him, Rockford knows that he’d have a couple of busy first months as he gets to know his crew and settles in with them. But Rockford realized that by being the head of the new logistics division Max wanted him, he would have more flexible working time. He could spend more time with his lovers and he knew he was going to be able to support them with the kind of financial security Max was offering him.

They could move back to his old place, or get a new one with the money he saved up over the years. They could also use his stash that he had never gotten to use, knowing someone could be watching his paper trail. They can live comfortably, and Dee can spend more time with her friends and their boyfriend can visit his parents more. Rockford was smiling when he heard Dee step into the living area.

“Well, look who’s all happy and smiling.”

“Who?” Rocco asked with his still sleepy adorable voice.

“You two, sit and drink your coffee. I have something important to talk about.”

“Oh?” The dejected tone in his words made Rockford raise an eyebrow at Dee. Their woman was to Rocco’s side and kissed his cheek softly. She knew him longer, and Rockford looked at her when she shook her head.

“I’m absolutely sure this is good news, right, Alec?”

There. Dee never uses his first name without some heavy meaning behind it. Just like when Rocco would call her Denise to ground her feelings. So Rockford smiled at their girlfriend who he already imagined someday would bear his child, maybe even children.

First thing first, he thought silently.

“It is, hence the full-on breakfast and coffees.” Rockford sits, but not before kissing both of his lovers’ good morning.

“So what is it?” Rocco asked looking like he couldn’t wait to bolt out of their room.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“I talked to Max last night. And he offered me a job.”

“Like with guns, and men dropping dead, and you hurting yourself?” Rocco interrupted his little speech before he even finished.

“Like… you will accompany me to his clinic. Do you know that Max is one of the best surgeons in town?” Rockford laughed when Rocco’s eyes were ready to leap out of the sockets. Dee giggled and put her hand on top of their boyfriend’s.

“Yes, but you’re right. I’m not going to assist him in any surgery. I will be heading their logistics department. They needed a leader, they’re currently expanding their business and they know that I have experience.”

“You mean experience in being against the law and then hiding because your crew wants you dead.”

“Oh, hell, Rocco, will you let our man finish his words?” Dee scolded him and it was Rockford’s turn to put his hand on hers.

“It’s okay, baby, Rocco is just worried. And I know you do too. But this is my chance, this is why I’m telling both of you, why I’m asking if you’re okay with me joining them.”

“No, I’m not okay.” Rocco quipped, after drinking his coffee. He took his fork and stabbed the delicious-looking muffin with an unnecessary vengeance that made Dee grimace.

Rockford chuckled and easily settled back in his seat as if he knew that Rocco would say no. At first. Rockford was nothing but determined. And he knew in the end he would convince their man that it was a good choice to have the security of the Russian mob boss behind them. Cause Rockford knew, he had had enough living under the radar for years. He wanted out, he wanted back to being the powerful man that he was. And to do so he needed connection and Max was it. He knew it. He felt it in his gut.

Now he just needed to convince his lovers.

Rockford was surprised to see the lunch invite at Max’s. His future boss texted him that his wife was too giddy to meet the new triad in the family and move up their dinner to lunch. Today.

“Max invited us for lunch. And I’m scheduled for an appointment at his clinic for a check-up. I know Rocco would want to come with, but Dee, you can come with us too if you’re bored.”

Dee was busy eating her pastries when she shook her head. “We’ll be heading out for lunch anyway. So, I think I’ll stay and take a long soak in the tub, maybe get a massage. My thighs are killing me from last night.” She winked at Rocco and that made his cheek blush and damn if Rockford didn’t want to pull the guy onto his lap and fuck him senseless. But no, he will have time for that later tonight.

He smiled thinking that he would have time with his lovers tonight and the next, and the day after next. He was feeling good about himself and nothing could bring him down.

However, things did take a slight turn when Rocco met with Becca. The Doctor at Max’s clinic insisted on being called by her first name.

“Rocco? I haven’t seen you in years. How are you?” Becca asked when she put her hand on top of his. There was jealousy, coming out from Rockford. A low growl slipped out of him and Becca abruptly took her hand off of his. “Sorry, I was the one who handled him when he was admitted to the ER.”

She didn’t need to explain because by looking at Rocco, he knew exactly what had happened to him when she saw him last. Rockford had dug into his file, he had requested it from Demyan when they were huddled up at the mountain Villa with nothing to do.

“You’re working for Max?” Rocco didn’t answer her but decided to rudely ask her a question instead.

“Yeah, I got in trouble a while back and Max is helping me keep my license and offered me a job in his clinic.”

“You keep yourself busy here? Lots of patients? Lots of serious injuries? Gunshot wounds?” Rocco’s words tumbled out of his lips like he had been keeping them bottled up inside him. That made Becca giggle and told him to take a seat while she told Rockford to get to the examination table.

“Here… is less hectic than the ER. I’ve been working for Max for more than four years now. But I was here temporarily before for Dr. Markov took me in for a more permanent position. He’s a good man, a very sought-after surgeon. He doesn’t do rounds much anymore, not after his wife kept him busy with his kids.” She smiled as she carefully looked at Rockford’s bruising, then continued to do a general examination before she told them to wait outside while she got the Radiologist.

The clinic was small and fancy and Max was right, he didn’t have to wait long until he was finished with his x-ray and was cleared of any internal bleeding and the possibility of broken ribs. He was given more anti-pain meds and told to keep it easy for the next few days.

Rocco looked glad, cause this morning Rockford caught their lover watching him as they were having breakfast.

“So, you guys are going to the big lunch today? I was told that Emelie is arranging her favorite chefs. That means stuffing our bellies with very exquisite delicacies.”

“Yeah, we’ll be there,” Rockford answered before Rocco could say no.

His man was still not sure, but Rockford was feeling better now that Becca worked for Max. And Rocco seemed to ease into her words. Rockford even caught a glimpse of a smile when she advised him not to exercise and put a strain on his middle. Of course, the man’s brain would go straight to their sexual activity last night. Cause Rockford did feel pain, but he was hiding it behind Dee and he was prioritizing his man’s pleasure on top of his own.

Yes. Rockford would do anything to keep them happy.
