#denoftheives

You pulled the last section of your long black hair through the straighteners giving you that beach curl that you always wore . Flipping your head upside down to give your hair a bit of volume. You was ready for your shift at the strip club. Even though the manager had tried to convince you to be a dancer you had politely declined and applied for the waitress job at weekends. You just needed that extra bit of money to pay your rent and keep your day job open(a garage that you had inherited from your father before he got shot ) round here it was more difficult to keep a independent garage open than you had realised but you didn’t want to give it up as it had meant so much to your father.looking in the mirror of the dressing rooms you knew this was as good at it got applying your red lipstick just to make some sort for effort . The boss knew you where a different kind of girl when he hired you but that didn’t stop him from trying to get you to wear the usual slutty outfit. But tonight the red lipstick would have to be enough as you had on your black leggings that where high waisted and a cut off guns and roses tshirt that had seen better days .your favourite pair of scuffed vans graced your feet they where just so comfortable. You shrugged as you left the girls dressing room.

It was a busy night . But no more than you where use to you had been working here about 2 months now and had got into the swing of things .

As the music blared and the flow of alcohol steadied the bar man handed you a tray with 3 beers on and 3 jack Daniels and motioned a table number to you . You nodded and made your way over to the table at the far end of the club in one of the booths . Where you noticed 3 fairly big guys sitting chatting to themselves not even paying attention to the dancers. As you put the tray down on the table your eyes looked up and where met with the bigger guy out of the 3 . He must of been over 6 foot, thick with muscle. You could see tattoos peaking out of his vest . you looked up into his eyes and all you could think was Jesus christ feeling a slight tingling sensation down stairs and with all the distraction you accidentally knocked over one of the jacks into his lap “OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY “ and without thinking you start wiping at his crotch with your towel until it dawns on you what your actually doing and you stop “fuck ” you go bright red . But the silverback just sits there. you look up into his eyes. “Usually you have to pay extra for that kind if treatment around here “ you frown at him and stand up pulling your hand back ready to go in for a slap but at the same time he rises to and your head just about comes up to his chest . Unable to reach his face now you thinks twice as the mass of man looms over you. Just staring at you he smiles and raises his eyebrows at you, leaning down to your ear he whispers “id rather see you up there any day ” nodding to the stage .you cant think of a comeback you just melt feeling his breath against your ear and his beard on your cheek . You let out an unexpected “oh god ” and instantly die inside after you realise what you have said. The man lets out a laugh and replies “im afraid not im just ray. ray merrimen an” you cant help but smirk looking at him you hold out your hand “ mellisa” and with that he grabs your hand in his massive mit and brings it up to his mouth placing a kiss on the back of it “nice to meet you”. The moment is quickly ruined when another waitress comes over with a replacement drink and grabs your wrist pulling you away “come on mellisa . You have work to do remember” nodding you follow her still staring at ray.

After a lecture from your college you are placed on behind the bar duty. You guess so that you have no opportunities to tip drinks over the customers again. But every chance you get you look over to that table and keep saying his name in your head smiling to yourself. You notice ray keeps looking over at you to smiling everytime your eyes meet which turns you into a giggling mess . How the hell did he have this much power over you . You had only just met for god sake .

But your gushing was interrupted by screaming and people ducking down as “POLICE,THIS IS A RAID ,GET ON THE GROUND” was shouted and police rammed there way into the club. In all the commotion and distractions you forgot to drop to the ground causing one of the members of the police to notice you . “Hey sweet cheeks”he shouted. SHIT you thought as you noticed his name badge (nick o brien) you knew you was in trouble big nick as he was know wasn’t an officer to fuck about with. Him and his crew had made a name for themselves for not doing things by the book and it was common knowledge that if you crossed paths with this crew you ended up mysteriously going missing . It wasn’t unusual for the cops to raid the club infact it happened most weekends but there was a code especially if it was nicks crew you ducked and let them do what they had to do if you didn’t want to draw attention to yourself. They mostly just found the odd dealer and drugs for personal use but you couldn’t understand why they raided so regularly like they were expecting something to happen at the club.

Before you knew it nick made his was over to you and had grabbed you by the arm pinning it up your back placing his other arm around your neck. You noticed ray stand up but before he came any closer you used everything in you to flip the big cop up over your shoulder slamming him onto his back on the floor infront of you . Instantly you raised both hands as your legs where kicked from under you and you where cuffed by 2 members of the force.yes you where a girl and you where small but your dad had taught you to fight as he has always wanted a boy . Even putting you through kickboxing classes through high school but you realised this time even though it was just your instinct kicking in it was a mistake.nick got up to his feet angry and embarrassed he made a joke trying not to make it obvious his pride was hurt “jesus lads shes a fisty one” kneeling down to your face on the floor he spits in your face “you’ll regret that “ you glare at him. Before he could act the manager of the club cuts in “nick come on man,your disturbing my business “ nick snorts “come on lads back to the station that’s enough fun for one night “ your lifted to your feet and uncuffed nick gets right in your face nose to nose giving you an evil look pointing his finger in your face “ ill be paying close attention to you feisty” and with that the cops leave the club . You rub your wrists where the cuffs had been watching them exit then running to the bathroom so you can hide the tears streaming down your face as your realise you got away with that lightly. You turn the tap on running your wrists under the cool water letting it take off that sting . You didn’t notice someone slip in behind you until you look in the mirror. You jump out of your skin as ray stands at the back of you. You wipe away your tears trying to keep some dignity. Ray just stares at you in the mirror. You turn round to face him and he grabs your hands examining your red wrists “they hurt “ he says nodding at them . You just shake your head yes. For a moment you both just stand in that shitty bathroom with him gently rubbing your wrists then he breaks the silence “worth it to watch you drop him “ you look up at him and just smile and with that he lets his grip go “you got a phone” you hand him ur phone he presses some buttons hands it back and makes his way to the door he pauses for just a moment and you wish for him to turn around but he doesn’t. When hes gone you look down to your phone ray 07953462195 a small smile creeps on your face a you stare at your phone .

“Got anything on merrimen yet ”

Nick scratches his stubble turning to gus

“the guys have been keeping a close eye on him the last month since the night that armoured truck was stolen”

nick takes a wad of photos off gus examines each one till he flips to the last plastering a cocky smile on his face turning the photo to gus “thats the chick from the srip club id remember her face anywhere“

“Yea shes been round merrimen quite a bit lately, in-fact they have been seen together 24/7”.

Gus pulls out another handful of photos and throws them over to nick.

“merrimens been seen leaving her apartment 6 out of 7 days a week”

Nick grunts “not like merrimen to have a chick on his crew but saying that she is a feisty little thing maybe he likes being beaten up. ”

Nick lets out a little chuckle seemingly pleased with himself after the last comment.

“I dunno boss, but we do know she aint no average chick after the way she chucked you over her sholder”

Nick shoots gus a dirty look but guss just keep his normal composure generally intrigued by the black haired girl in the photos.

“there must be something, everyone else on his crew has a background with him bosco enson merrimen all ex military why would he bring someone in on whatever he’s up to with nothing to bring to the table”

Nick keeps staring at the picture of you both rubbing his thumb over your face “there must be something were just missing it.”

“not unless el jeffe has actually just fallen for the broad”

Nick shakes his head “no he wouldn’t get that involved with someone unless they had something he wanted hes to tactical for all that bullshit”

“Well boss every photo she’s smiling they look happy “

Nick felt slightly agitated by the fact that you did look so happy. he was going to find out who you where after that night but with his divorce in progress you’d had slipped his mind. yes you had pissed him off but he was slightly impressed.

Nick breathes in deep remembering the smell of your hair, he’d managed to rest his head in your hair when he had his forearm around your neck that night it smelt of honey.

Jealousy rose in the pit of his stomach realising that ray would have smelt the same smell by now.

He sat just staring at the picture for a moment before he cut your face out and went over the board with the rest of the crews faces and proceeded to sick your face above merrimens mugshot.

“He must not of shown his true colours yet but when he does i bet she comes running. Bet she doesn’t realise her boyfriend is a cop killer. What we got on her so far “

Gus starts tapping away on his computer and its not long before he has your life history up on screen.

“28 years of age, mother and father deceased. owns Tonys auto shop down south street was handed over to her after her father was shot in action when she was 16. father was in the marines, her mother died whilst giving birth to her she was raised by her father”

“That explains the tough as nails attitude bet daddy always wanted a boy”

“Got a few trophies in high school for kickboxing grade A student. After school seems like she went down hill hung around with the wrong people, got in fights ended up having run ins with the police”

“Let me guess her father was shot when she left school “

“Yep murdered on july 25 2006. first run in with the law September 4 2006 slap on the wrists for defacing a shop wall. gets gradually worse from there, spent numerous nights in cells for brawling with men and women”

“Daddy died so little girl went off the rails”

Nick walks over and leans down to the computer screen and sees your mug shot “shame.....such a pretty thing even in her god damn mugshot “

gus continues to read “ done for speeding an excess of 9 times,theft of a motor vehicle ended up cuffed to a hospital bed. traffic crew had to spike the tires to catch her resulting in her crashing the vehicle. she suffered multiple injuries but she managed to stay out of prison and ended up paying restitution to the owner, took a loan out on the garage to pay it off. Went quiet for a few years then in 2010 was arrested again for grand theft auto but ended up in-prisoned for 2 years released for good behaviour after that nothing she seemed to behave after that”

Nick smiles like hes won the lottery suddenly he’s able to fit all the puzzle together “merrimens using her to drive. Get me the speeds up”

nick grabs the mouse and flicks through the information “fastest speed recorded 175mph.”

“But how would merrimen know that”

“I dont know ive not worked that bit out yet”

“Could just be coincidence there’s millions of other felons with speeding tickets”

“Yea but not that fast”

Both men take a moment of silence to try and figure it out but have no luck.

“Do you want us to pick her up bring her in”

“Nahhh to obvious i wanna go see her I think with a bit of pressure rays little girl will crack, when she realises who ray really is shes sing like a canary and i wanna be there to listen”

“Gunna be hard to get her alone boss”

“Then lets make this interesting lets pay them both a visit. Make merrimen squirm”

“What about donny”

“Well leave donny for now let him start to feel comfortable, I’m more interested in her but if she wont spill we have him as canary number two”

Warning: contains smutt and rude language

Ray knew he needed a driver for the job but until now he hadn’t tried to include you in his work even though he knew you could out drive anybody that he had hired before. He made a choice and picked up his phone dialling your number.

“Hey”

Ray instantly had a smile on his face when he heard your voice.

“Hey..... i have a job for you. I need a driver. but if you don’t want to get involved thats fine I understand”

He just listens to your breathing down the phone for a few seconds.

“Ill do it ray but only because its you”

“Ill text you the details, the location and where to pick up the untraceable car. You’ll be safe I promise”

“Ok ray ill wait for the message”

Ray hangs up the phone and wonders if he’s made a mistake involving you.but it was to late now, all ray knew was that you was one of a kind and someone he’d grown to trust.

He wanted to introduce you to his world that night you took him for a drive, but he also felt the need to protect you from those things as well.

Ray wanted to move your relationship forward but he was also scared to loose you and in his current career choice only a few survive.

Ray then suddenly feels sick what if he couldn’t keep that promise he had just made to you. It would kill him inside. He’d not known you for long but when he was with you he was happy and you felt like home. He didn’t want to loose that feeling for anything. But there was nothing he could do now the decision had been made.

Your phone buzzed and lit up in the dark, you leaned over in bed and grabbed the phone. With blurry eyes you read the txt. It was a date time a postcode and an address to a garage where you’d pick up the car. You shut your phone off and jumped out of bed to get dressed.

Day of drive

You pull up outside the destination that was given to you by text and realise its a bank . Tapping the wheel of a mustang you had been instructed to use by ray you wait ...... 10 mins go by 15 ....... 20 . Then you hear it . the banks alarm, this was it your revved the engine ready to go door open you see 3 men run out of the bank ,bags in hand full black army gear on holding hand guns they all clamber in . You notice the one in the front has a skull on his ski mask .something animalistic grew inside you as you didn’t wait for any instruction you slammed your foot on the gas and wheel-spun out of there . It didn’t take you long to outsmart the cops especially driving at over 100mph around the area you lost them down a few back streets and hid the car down a cleverly concealed ally way where you all switched into a range rover with blacked out windows you drove them to where the man in the skull ski mask directed you and you must admit you loved every second of that drive the speed. The thrill. Yep it definitely got you going .

The front Passenger points you to a wear house on the docks

You do as he says and Drive in to the wear house. the passengers get out one by one.the one with the skull mask stands in front of the car and removes . its ray ! your heart skips a beat realising it was him sat next to you the whole time . he smiles at you walking backwards he motions his finger for you to get out of the car you hesitate knowing theres no going back if you get out ,yet u know its right and u don’t want to admit it but you would crawl over broken glass for that man.

You make the choice and get out of the car following them all over to a bunch lockers .You stand leaning onto the wall as you watch the guys you had drove to safety pull off there ski masks and all change into there every day clothes . they introduce themselves to you as enson and bosco. “damn ray where did you find this shorty she can drive man “bosco shouted to ray as he cracked open a beer trying his best to compliment you . You just stand there with an unimpressed look on ur face with your arms folded “ careful bosco that one bites” enson replied “you remember that night in the strip club where that woman flipped that agent, well your looking at her” enson smiled at you and you smiled back impressed that he remembered you and that you must of made a lasting impression. Boscos jaw dropped “no way man i remember that night. Damn you like an angel you fight good and you drive good . You got a man “ bosco made his way over to you placing on arm on the wall next to your face . Ray immediately strode over and stood infront of you facing bosco nostrils flaring like some silverback . Bosco lifted both his hands up in the air “whoa whoa dude “ backing off back to the lockers . Your heart couldn’t help but skip a beat did this mean you where rays . if so you kind of liked that idea the time you has spent with him before the job you had wanted him so bad but held back as ray was quite difficult to read . he was the strong silent type for sure. Enson let out a laugh “ looks like she’s already made an impression on someone “ you blushed “welcome to the crew angel and can i just say with you behind the wheel i feel safer already “ enson halved bowed his head to you in acceptance handing you a beer “thanks” you bowed back .

The guys sit chatting around in a circle for a while about the heist that had just taken place . You sit mostly quiet giving the odd smile and nod when you are addressed but you sit and try to fade into the background .thinking about everything that had happened that day . Thinking about the way ray had acted to bosco .

You notice ray hasn’t keep his eyes off you all night even tho you keep trying not to look him you just cant help but keep locking on to them big beautiful pools of brown feeling a burning sensation deep within you every time you do.

Enson and bosco finish the crate of beers off and chat starts to dwindle they both call it a night,leaving You and ray alone in the wear house . after what seems an eternity but only a minute ray stands up goes over to his desk and hands you a wad of cash “will £3,000 do “ you reach out for the cash brushing your finger against his hand as you take the money his touch feels electric. You dont bother to count it just bite ur lip and start walking to the door as ray goes and sits at his computer behind his desk .

As you get to the door something stops you from opening the handle. Theres a burning desire in you to taste him, you turn around he doesn’t notice as you make ur way up behind him sitting in his leather hair . You push you body flush against his back running your hands down his huge chest inside his wifebeater . You start kissing his thick neck . His smell and taste are like a drug . He just relaxes into you embrace ,he lets out a primal growl before he grabs you buy both thighs and places you into his lap . He looks deep into your eyes with that look he has ,the one that consumes you . His hands slide up to ur waist digging his fingers into ur hips . He slides your body back and forth onto the growing hardness in his trousers. You feel the wetness pooling in your clothed pussy as he rubs up against you giving you that look the whole time . You cant take it any longer you’re lips crash into his and he accepts them kissing you back. Grabbing the nape of your neck fingers in your hair pulling you into his mouth ,lips and tongs crashing into each others taking your breath away. You take a moment resting your foreheads together.both of you breathing deeply holding onto each other taking it all in.”ray” but before you could say anything else he picks you up with one arm around your waist . Pushing everything off the desk with the other hand he lays you on the desk placing his hand around ur neck gently but firmly u cant take it anymore you want him and you want him now “ray pleaseee “ he runs his had from ur neck down to ur breasts grabbing and kneading one at a time all the while rubbing his hardness in his jeans agains you. “Fuck me Ray “ . He places a evil smile on his face ,loving teasing you but he wants you to and in one sweeping motion he rips your black vest off revealing your breasts .pulling at your leggings and thong he yanks them off you to leaving you fully naked lying on his desk and at his mercy, your soaking pussy spread out for him . He takes a step back taking all of you in “your fuckin gorgeous ” your cheeks redden as he grabs you and in one quick fluid motion spins you round hips banging on the table “fuck i want you “ he says whilst pressing himself against you one hand in your hair, pulling you up to him arching your back. He grabs your arse with one gigantic palm bringing it back to slap it. The pain makes you gasp . your pussys throbbing now needing him to fill you “oh fuck ” you hear his belt buckle being opened and you moan in anticipation. You feel his head at your entrance as he brings his hand round the front of you finally finding your clit circling his huge finger around your nub “your soaking ....dirty girl “ he whispers in your ear . You literally are panting now just wanting him ,every inch of him . With his other hand he lines himself up with your dripping cunt slowly spreading you inch by inch and as you had expected a man that big was not lacking in the trouser department .he was bigger that you had ever had before stretching you out as he bottoms out in you .

god it felt so good your pussy clenching onto every inch of him . Fuck this man was gorgeous .like a drug you needed more. He started slow letting you adjust to his side then he got faster and faster pumping his thick cock in and out of your throbbing cunt. You feel that slow heat start to build and build in the pit of your stomach rising as ray is hitting all the right spots. Fucking you hard and fast growling and groaning into your ear as your screaming with every thrust.

”fuck im gunna come “ you feel the pressure build and build and then sweet relief as he fucks you through your orgasm screaming his name you feel him release inside you filling you with his cum your pussy pulsing around his shaft . both of your breathing slows as he pulls out of you that full feeling gone as he puts himself away. You slide onto the floor off the table a wet sweaty mess shaking with pleasure . Ray lets out a loud throaty laugh and sweeps you up off the floor holding you against him face to face arms wrapped round your waist . your legs dangling off the floor “ive been wanting to do that the first night we met” ray said making you blush .smiling up at him you would never admit you had felt the same way . As he placed a sweet kiss on your lips he placed you down on your feet “ here “ pulling his wife beater over his head “have this . I don’t think yours survived “ you lift your arms up as he pulls his vest over your head and down your body covering you ,it was so big it was like a dress on you but you loved that fact . As ray went to get another shirt from his locker you put your thong and leggings on trying to tidy yourself up a bit running your fingers through your sex mess hair . As ray came back in the room he just stood there looking at you taking all of you in biting his bottom lip like he wanted to eat you . Your heart started racing again god if he kept looking at you like that you’d have to have him again . He nodded down to your breasts “looks 100 times better on you especially without a bra “ looking down you realise it was see through and due to the chill of the wear house your nipples were as hard as bullets . You fold your arms over them trying to keep what bit of modesty you had left even tho ray had just ripped ur clothes off minuets before. He gave out a throaty chuckle and wrapped his arms around you “ come on ill take you home “ he placed an uncharacteristically gentle kiss on your forehead as you wonder how he would act with you after this night .after all ray wasn’t one for being gentle and loving. But you couldn’t help but melt in this moment with him enjoying every sweet gentle second as you lost yourself in the big alfa male stood with his arms around you hugging you close. He must of realised he was letting his guard down to much when he finally pulled away and started walking to the car “ come on angel lets get you home “.

Chapter 2

It had been 2 weeks since you quit the club after that night. You didn’t want to put yourself in that situation again so you handed in your notice and put all your focus into the garage.

Although you couldn’t get ray merrimen out of your head, you hadn’t got the courage to ring him yet you just took your phone out of your pocket and stared at his number at least 100 times a day.

“Whoever his is why don’t you just ring him, ask him out instead of not working and staring at your phone every 5 minuets” ronnie shouted at you from over the workshop. You quickly put you phone back on the tool box pretending like you didn’t have it in your hand at all and carried on fixing the engine of a costumers vw mk2 golf gti. Ronnie made his way over to your ramp and next to where you where working “come on lass spill the beans who is he. Ive never seen you stare at your phone like that before. He must be something special to keep you daydreaming. usually your nose in under a car hood not peering down at one of those mobile devices.” You just shook your head and laughed carrying on with what you where doing not even looking up at him. Ronnie made his way back over to his work station “okay okay ill leave it” .

Ronnie had worked at the garage for longer that you remember. Your dad had hired him when you where just a kid to work beside him in the garage after he had left the marines. Ronnie and your dad taught you everything and after your dad passed Ronnie sort of took the role on as your guardian.ronnie had even taught you how to race and you were pretty confident you where good at driving.

working beside you in the garage for 5 years he had grown old but hadn’t lost his talent for fixing cars although he hated modern technology and would often rant about the youth now days. All you could do was sit and laugh when he went on. But you wouldn’t of had him any other way.

The clock read 5.00pm, you placed your tools on the tool box and wiped your oily hands on your overalls, you make your way to the door shouting to Ronnie “im done for the day, don’t forget to lock up old man” you heard him mutter something under his breath but you carry on stepping through the metal door of the workshop smiling to yourself, before you could realise what had happened you had slammed into someone “what the hell” you look up at eyes you have been thinking about for the last 2 weeks “ray” you whisper under your breath. He just gives you that look the one that makes you week at the knees every time you think about him.”hey”he says still holding onto your shoulders steadying you after bumping straight into him. You hear Ronnie shout from back in the garage “you ok out there”he must of heard the commotion “yea don’t worry I’m fine just walked into a brick wall” you reply as you step back slightly, out of rays grip. he raises his eyebrow at you “charming”.

“What you doing here?. You got a car need fixing? I can get you booked in....” but before you could carry on he interrupts you “nope was hoping you’d call and when you didn’t I did some digging,found out you work here so I thought i come and find out the reason why you haven’t”.

You don’t have a clue what to say apart from “oh”. He just continues to stare at you awaiting an answer. You didn’t wanna tell him actually yea ive been staring at your number all week i couldn’t stop thinking about you and the way i want to climb you like a tree so “ermmm sorry ive been busy”comes out your mouth.

“you free tonight “ and before you open your mouth to answer Ronnie shouts from inside the garage “YEA SHES FREE”. You shoot a look back at him to shut up he just raises his moustache in a smile. “Ill pick you up outside here at 8” you shook your head yes and you watched the gorilla of a man get into a car and drive off. You keep on walking home you’ll deal with Ronnie tomorrow.

Your apartment isn’t far from the garage only 10 minuets walk. You had sold the house your dad owned and brought this place putting the rest of the money into the garage. It was small but it was yours, you had paid for it outright so at least you’d always have a roof over your head.

You let yourself in throwing the keys on the sofa kicking off your boots and wiggling out of your overalls hanging them up just inside the front door before you wiped oil all over your house. Making your way for a shower you replay what had just happen in your head and cant help but think its a bit stalker of ray doing some digging on you,but he just had this charm about him. so you let it slip out of your mind as you slip out of your tank top and knickers and get in the shower letting the water run down your body cleaning away all the dirt and oil from the day.

Ray merrimen fanfic

Ray pulls up to a gun range

“Well this is definitely not what I expected for a date, very different mr merrimen.I’m impressed “

You smirk as you take in all of the building.

“Well your a different type of girl didn’t think taking you to a restaurant would be your kind of thing”

Slightly relieved inside as no it wasn’t your kind of thing .

You hated sitting opposite someone in a restaurant awkwardly trying to make small talk whilst watching there dinner roll round there mouth. You’d rather stay in and watch Netflix.

But this definitely impressed you and you where truthfully a little exited as you had always wanted to learn how to shoot but your father wasn’t keen on the idea.

“Ray How do you know how to shoot”

You didn’t even thing about the question before it escaped your mouth.

Ray just Stares into distance. Like he’d gone back to a bad time in his mind playing it over in his head. You reach over and place you hand on his thigh about to apologise but before you do he answers

“i was a marine”

You didn’t question any further realising you had hit a sore spot

“So was my dad”

You squeeze his thigh in your hand trying to comfort him a little.

He doesn’t say anything just exits the car so you follow.

The minute you walk in you notice the smell. Smoke from the guns being fired and take it all in.

You stand behind him at the desk as he signs you up he seems friendly with the owner and you make a mental note that he’s obviously a regular.

The man behind the desk runs you through the rules :

Universal safety rules

• All firearms are considered loaded at all times

• Always point firearms in a safe direction (downrange, the ground, etc.), until on target and ready to fire

• Always keep your trigger finger straight along the frame until on target and ready to fire

• Always know your target and what is behind it

You just nod at him clarifying that you understood.

Ray hands you some ear protection and plastic glasses,

Putting them on you follow him around the back into the range . The lanes are empty and you follow him down to the last lane he hands you a semi-automatic pistol and you just look at him like you don’t have a clue because you don’t actually have a clue .Ray let out a throaty laugh and moved you in-front of him with one mitt on your back he stood over you from behind his thick arms around your body. He took the gun in one hand and with the other he pulled your ear muff off one ear.

“This is the trigger you take the safety off pull back the slide and release it to load it ,point at your target move into the correct stance” as he said that he moved your feet with his as you mimicked his stance perfectly against him “then you squeeze the trigger and fire” he spoke softly in your ear as he showed you what to do. he put the ear muff back and gave you back the gun. still standing behind you he lifts your arms up readying you.

You take a long deep breath in, pushing your back into his chest a bit more and as you exhale you squeeze the trigger firing a number of rounds into the paper man 25 yards in-front of you .your heart beats out of your chest as you feel the adrenaline rushing through your veins.

you place the gun down and realise ray is still looming behind you one thick arm around your waist face buried in your neck. you feel him smile against your skin as he reaches over you and pushes a big red button bringing the paper man rushing straight towards you . Removing himself from you body he goes to retrieve the bit of paper holding it up as you take your ear protection off “ damn is there anything you cant do “ he shows you where the bullets had landed and they were mostly head shots “not bad for your first time”

You bite you bottom lip holding in a smile”right my turn to impress you” you grab his hand and lead him off out of the range back to the car instructing him to drive back to the garage.

You lift up the shutters to the garage to reveal a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500. You get that feeling again in your chest the same one that you had at the range.

Ray raises his eyebrows taking the car in “yep to be fair that is impressive”

“Get in, you ain’t seen nothing yet”

You nod your head to the passenger seat and ray doesn’t argue as you slide in the drivers seat.

You couldn’t help but chuckle to yourself when you notice the huge man struggle to fold himself into the car, once he’s in he fills the space, knees up against the dash. You start the car and drive off to the docks you went there because you knew you wouldn’t be bothered and you could let loose. the cops didn’t bother anybody there and with what you where planning to do it was perfect.

Ray just sat there is silence not ready for what was about to happen. You slam your foot down on the gas making the car spin on the spot until it lunges off the line at grate speed.you race around the docks, drifting around the corners at high speeds avoiding trucks and other cars parked up. As you drift round the last corner you notice a lorry reversing into one of the wear houses in front of you but instead of slamming the breaks on you speed up. You notice the panic in rays face he slams his hands down onto the dash heart in his throat thinking your going to crash but instead you slam the car to the right and slide underneath the lorry coming out the other side.you make your way back to the beginning of the course you had made out for yourself and stop the car. You look at ray who is still hyperventilating and shoot him a big cocky smile knowing you had just scared one of the biggest men you ever met.

“Impressed” he doesn’t reply just grabs your collar of your denim jacket and pulls you over to him crashing his lips onto yours, you kiss him back moaning into his mouth, god he tasted so good. You take your mouth off his and slip back into your seat “ i take that as a yes”

He lets out the loudest growl of a laugh “come on ken block drive me back to my car”you drop him off at his car outside the garage and ray whispers to himself “what a woman”as he gets out and makes his way back to the range rover.

You cant help but grin from ear to ear as you watch him drive off.

After that night ray visits you at the garage nearly every day for the next few weeks. You get to know a bit more about him like the fact he’s done time for robbery but it didn’t bother you not everyone was perfect and your past wasn’t all roses either. Plus Ronnie liked him to.
