Bond... Without a Title

Seventeen

"What's all this about?" Ruby asked stepping over brand new luggage that Demetrius had sitting around her living room.

"We're going on a trip," He smirked.

"We?" Ruby asked confused. She couldn't just up and take a trip. "You do know I still have a job right?"

"Already got that covered, it's next month so you have time to take off. Josh put together a little couples getaway to the Bahamas. So, I couldn't show up alone." Dee shrugged popping tags from various suitcases.

"So you just use me for your convenience?"

"Cut it out! Don't even sit here and fake like you're about to pass up a free trip. Had I went without you I would have never heard the end of it." Dee argued.

Women were a trip. They'd nag and complain about everything a man didn't do, but when he did let them know about things they still found error in his ways. There was absolutely no winning.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Ruby laughed knowing that was nothing but the truth. "What about today though? What you got planned for us?"

"Us?" Dee asked mimicking Ruby. She laughed.

"I can't stand you, yes us!"

"I don't know. I planned to lay around and chill for a while before I hit the streets. Shit probably gonna get hectic with Josh stepping down, so I need all the rest I can get." Dee sighed.

"That's cool too," Ruby shrugged. "I swear my body feels like I've been hit by a truck. Standing on my feet been doing me in this week."

"What you been on your feet for? You're not the one that has to be physical, the patient does."

"True, but it's motivating if I actually do what I'm asking of them. Think about it, who would take me serious if I sat around calling out exercises? I'm not going to ask of anyone something I wouldn't do myself." Ruby voiced plopping down on the couch and kicking off her shoes. She crossed her legs and began to massage her foot.

"Here," Dee tapped Ruby's leg. "I got you."

Ruby stretched out on the couch and placed her feet in Demetrius's lap. He removed her socks and began to massage her feet.

"Yessss," Ruby moaned out causing Dee to lift a brow.

"Alright now, don't get nothing started." He joked. Ruby opened one of her eyes and shot him a smirk.

"That's gonna cost you a full body massage." She moaned. Dee stopped rubbing her foot and stood from the couch. He picked Ruby up and tossed her over his shoulder.

"Demetrius!" She yelled caught off guard. Dee continued to her room as she laughed at his eagerness.

"Take off your clothes." Dee stated placing Ruby on her feet.

"What?" She asked smirking.

"You heard me. You say you need a full body massage right? Take off your clothes and I got you."

Ruby chewed the side of her lip contemplating her next move. Part of her wanted to stand strong, but the other part knew what was going to happen once she removed her clothes.

"Let me shower first," she stated giving in. Her body needed this, both the massage and the D.

"Can I join?"

"Sure," Ruby stated over her shoulder as she walked to the bathroom. Every step along the way she dropped an article of clothing.

Demetrius quickly stripped down and made his way to the bathroom. He just knew Ruby would shoot his advances down. The fact that she didn't had him ready to dive in before she changed her mind.
