Chapter 17~ Dancing in the Dark
They moved onto the dance floor and Her Man started playing…he took her into his arms and spun her around then dipped her low and kissed her nose and he started to sing to her
I’m gonna change my way of doin’ things around here. Well, I’m turnin’ over a new leaf..gonna get myself in gear. ‘Cause I got a woman who’s better than most and I made a mess of her plans. Startin’ today, All I’m gonna be is her man. ‘Cause I’ve been a wildcatter and a go go-getter.. Been an S.O.B right down to the letter. II’ve had misadventures..I’ve even got pictures I’m even more than I can stand. But startin’ today, all I’m gonna be is her man. I’m gonna give it all back ‘cause all I’ve done is take. Well, I’ve put her on the back burner while I was out on the make. But I’ve got a woman good enough to give me a second chance again. And startin’ today. All I’m gonna be is her man. ‘Cause I been a wildcatter and a go go-getter.. Been an S.O.B right down to the letter. I’ve had misadventures..I’ve even got pictures. I’m even more than I can stand. But starting today, all I’m gonna be is her man. I’m a little bit late, but I’m wisin’ up. And starting today, all I’m gonna be is her man (Her Man—-Gary Allen). He dipped her again and kissed her gently and whispered “Thank you for loving me” She smiled through her tears and said “it is my greatest pleasure “ and “I didn’t know you could sing!” He winked and said “hidden talents” and she giggled. They partied late into the night and fell into bed exhausted. They got up and climbed into the shower.. he bumped his head on the shower head and he said what the fuck? He got out and dried off and went to the closet. Nothing he pulled out of the closet fit him. He tried a dozen pairs of pants and several shirts before he let out a frustrated growl. Althea ran out of the bathroom and to the closet..she saw him standing there looking so very confused and she lost it. She laughed so hard at the look on his face. She said “Baby? You’re a foot taller..easy” and he just quietly says “I have nothing to wear” She handed him a pair of basketball shorts and said I will handle it. She took out her cell phone and was dialing a number as he stormed out the door.. He linked the circle to meet him in his office..as he hears Althea say into the phone “send over what you have immediately. I will settle payment later” She linked Martha to arrange breakfast in the office for the five but double everything on Alpha’s plate and Martha linked back worked up an appetite,yeah? Althea says wryly “he grew into it” and entered the office. The boys jumped when they saw Roman. Caleb said “Holy Fuck dude! You’re a mountain!” And they all looked and noticed he was barefooted, wearing shorts that hit him midthigh and realized he has nothing that fits. And they started rolling! Martha walked in to Dillon laughing so hard he had fallen on the floor.. and she turned to her servers..telling them where to set the plates. Althea thanked the girls and kissed Martha’s cheek saying “I am expecting Winston from over at the tailor’s..please bring him right up when he arrives. Roman told her they have to be at the academy in about an hour..explaining to her what happened yesterday. Althea blew a gasket. “She killed one of our boys??? One of ours? I want John out immediately tracking that skank down. I want to feel her life leave her as I choke the shit out of her” Roman said I understand completely baby. But first let’s bring our men home. She wrapped her arms around him and nodded. 45 minutes later..Roman was dressed in a pair of jeans and a long sleeved Henley, they were headed to the academy. He was so grateful the tailor has some ready-mades for big and tall men and the tailor was thrilled an entirely new wardrobe was ordered for the commission he would make. An all around good day and it wasn’t even 9 in the morning. They arrived at the academy..and as Roman walked in front with Althea he could feel Caleb’s eyes on him. He said stop it Caleb. And he says “Dude you’re monstrous. I mean, your ass was tall before but …… Shit..this is gonna take some getting used to. You’re gonna squish the Luna.. OH MY GODDESS! Are you bigger all over??? Did your cock get bigger too?” And Roman yells CALEB! Damn bro! And Althea giggles. The dean met them at the doors to take them to the clinic..explaining the guard hadn’t woken yet and Althea stepped into the room, walking straight to the guard and placing her hands directly over his mouth and started chanting. They all watched as a black wisp of smoke started rising out of the guards mouth until there was no more. Then the smoke dissipated and the guard woke up. The dean yelled “what the fuck did you do?” And Roman had the man pinned to the wall, choking the life out of him. Caleb said “stupid move, dude..yelling at our Luna in front of her newly mated monster man!” And Dillon laughed again.. Althea put her hand on Roman’s arm saying they still needed to talk to the man. They followed the man to his office while Dillon and the guard loaded the dead guard into the transport. They sat down and Roman said explain. The dean told the same story again..reiterating the reason he had the lethal injections. Althea looked at him and she said “You literally caused that guard’s death! We send a mentally ill woman to you for therapy and possibly rehabilitation and she not only escapes once..but twice. We send guards to help control her and she somehow gets enough privacy to fuck a sentry into being comvinced into killing for her. You are seriously falling down on the job here. You said you had one go feral last year and kill three of your workers and your solution is to requisition killer injections. You are a disgrace!” He tried to excuse his guilt in the situation and she told him to shut up and bring us to the sentry. They get to the jail and they step to his cell. Roman says what’s your name boy? He said Randy.. and Roman spits back “Well Randy how’s it feel to be a murderer?”
