*R-18*

I was getting tired and irritated a few hours later as I had become a security blanket for the kid. The whole time he has not let go of my hand despite my best efforts. That includes the partial progress when I threatened him with taking him into the restroom with me. He let go long enough for me to use it and practically attacked me once I came out.

Turns out Caspian is the boy's name and after some searching, we found out his family was murdered by the drug runners and left his family to rot in their house. They couldn't even find anyone next of kin.

Agent John came and informed me that he would probably end up in the foster system until someone adopted him if anyone would at all because he was already 8.

"What if I said I knew someone willing to adopt him?" I asked as someone quickly sprang to mind. I knew that couldn't have children of their own and they were talking of adopting anyways. It'd be the best for this kid, I know they're good people. This kid has been through enough, the foster system would just make things worse.

"As long as you vouch for them temporarily keeping him, I can get the permanent adoption paperwork to you for whoever you're thinking of to fill out in a few days. As long as everything works out, a social worker may come by and check out the house and family but that should be it." Agent John said as we kind of knew how to get around all the bureaucratic red tape. We had already helped out a few people get adopted to good families over the past ten years.

"Okay, I'll give her a call and let her know as soon as Cass here has been discharged, to expect us over for company." I pulled out my cellphone that I was able to get from the other agents along with my other personal effects they held onto for me.

**Ringing**

"mmm hello?" a sleepy female voice answers.

"Moll, Love It's Auntie M. Mind if I come over and visit you in a few hours?" I ask in my bright and cheery voice.

A groan followed by some rustling can be heard.

"Auntie, I've got to take Gran to the doctors for her tests. We won't be back till later in the evening. Why? Is everything alright?" She asks starting to sound more coherent.

"Oh yes, everything's fine love. I've got some good news and wanted to share it with you all in person. Everything alright with Granny Sarah?" I ask checking in on the family.

"Oh,...." She paused, "No worries right now Auntie. They are doing some blood tests and maybe adding an MRI or CT, can't remember which one. Auntie, you do realize it is two o'clock in the mornin?"

* I look at the time and start rubbing my forehead* 'OOPS'

"Ah, I do now love. Sorry about that get some sleep and I'll see you tomorrow, I mean later this evening. Night sweetie." I get off the phone and Agent John just looks at me.

"I can never get over how creepy you sound with your 'sweet auntie' voice. It's the stuff that haunts my nightmares." He shudders as I give him a dirty look.

"I'm just joking." He raises his hands in mock defense as I wave him off.

"So what are you going to do until this evening?" He looks at Caspian who hasn't slept and still needs a good washing.

Just then the doctor comes in and says that the test results came back in and he's good to go after the paperwork to have him released into our custody is signed.

"Hand me the paperwork please, Doc. I'm ready to head home." I say hand out ready to sign.

....Later At La Casa del Sin....(Author breaking the fourth wall- YES, THE HOUSE OF SIN)

"Okay Cass, I got a few rules here. One, don't touch anything on the shelves or displays. Two, Don't go anywhere other than the bathroom, living room, and kitchen. Three, do not touch any of my things unless I specifically hand it to you. Got it?" I tell him in my best authoritative voice.

"Okay, ma'am." he nods at me. "I'm safe here though right?" he asks me and my heart breaks at the tears that form in the corners of his eyes, threatening to spill out.

Gently I bring him close to me and say, "Yes, you're safe here." I bring him in for a hug and he holds on tightly. After a minute though the smell is starting to get to me and I whisper, "Cass, let's get a bath started for you. It'll help you feel a little better."

While he's in the bathroom I'm going through my clothes looking for a shirt at least that won't completely engulf him and isn't overly feminine. I tossed his clothes since they were rags practically and the hospital only gave us the kids' gown tied strategically. There was no way I could tie it again like that. I don't know what to do about underwear or shorts for him.

I go wash my hands and face and switch out of my bloody shirt and jacket and try and figure out what else would work for the kid.

While I'm racking my brain on how to clothe this boy, my phone starts to go off, it's Agent John. "Hey, John." I answer quickly looking at my wardrobe trying to figure out something other than just a shirt for the boy.

"Thought you might appreciate some clothes for the boy. I just popped into the 24 hr center and grabbed a few things he'll need. Is the gate unlocked?"

My worries have been for naught! The mother hen came through!

"John sometimes you really are a doll, you know that? I'll put in the code just buzz when you're out there."

'This man is actually useful for more than just work and play' I smirk.

I head downstairs and listen through the door to hear Cass still cleaning himself. Thank goodness I didn't have to help him.

I head to the kitchen for the next issue to address.

I'm in the kitchen putting together a quick hot meal for us to eat as well. I'm tossing it all in the pan when my gate buzzes through the intercom. I go to my security panel and punch in the code to let John in.

The pan is sizzling as I put in the spices with the meat and veggies. I grabbed my rice cooker out and got it started when John came walking through the kitchen door.

"Something smells good!" He comes in with the bag of stuff for Cass setting it on the empty counter before coming up behind me and wrapping an arm around my waist.

We smile at each other and give each other a quick kiss before he spins me around and starts to kiss me passionately, pulling me close making me moan against his lips. I love it when he does this.

"I don't know why you worry, Agent John. It's not like I have never, not come back." I smile running my fingers through his hair.

He takes a deep breath with his head in the nape of my neck and mutters, "I can't help it. It's never easy knowing regardless, that you will be coming back, but that you still feel the pain."

I rub his back and sigh. "Yeah, that is the part that sucks the most on the missions. You need to remember though Agent, you're starting to get too emotionally invested. This is supposed to just be fun. " I take a look at him slightly annoyed looking as I see those words go through his mind. He takes a step back and shrugs.

"You want a drink then, Sin?" He asks heading for the liquor cabinet.

"You know what I like, hun'." I wink and turn around to start stirring the meat and veggies.

Once John hands me my drink, we hear Cass call out from the bathroom. "Um, I don't have any clothes!" John and I exchange a look and he grabs the bag and takes it to the bathroom.

I shake my head at John knowing the end of our fun was coming soon. He had been warned to not get emotionally attached because in the end, it will not work. Hopefully, he can keep himself together until he gets his promotion in a few weeks.

It will be easier to let him go and recover from not working with me all the time.

It's not that I don't feel anything for the man but he knew getting into this that I'm not a life partner for anybody.

It just won't work and it's not fair to either of us.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the bathroom door close and grabbed out the plates from the cupboard and started putting the now-done food onto them. I put the silverware out on the table with the plates and napkins.

"Cass, is milk okay to drink or would you like water?" I ask grabbing a cup for him as John and him came walking out of the bathroom.

John had bought him some gym shorts and a t-shirt that seemed to fit perfectly. It was nice to see the big brown-eyed boy with dark hair and naturally olive tanned skin nice and clean. The improvement was mildly shocking.

"Milk, please." He said timidly and sat at the table where John pointed to.

We sat and ate asking Cass things about what he's interested in. Afterward, I put him in my guest room down the hall from the bathroom he used earlier. I tucked him in and asked if he wanted the T.V. on.

"No thank you. Miss Sin, Thank you for saving me." He rolled over after that and closed his eyes.

I smiled sadly at the boys' predicament but hopefully soon he would have a good home with a family that will love him and helps heal the wounds that no one could see.

I left the room and I poured myself another glass of whiskey and went upstairs to my room. I heard the bath running and smiled. I stripped out of my clothes and threw them into the hamper and walked into the bathroom glass in hand.

John was still getting my large 4 person sized tub filled with Epsom salts and lavender bubble bath, just how I liked it.

"I'm hopping in the shower first." I said setting my glass down as he nodded his head. I hopped in and let the hot water wash and rinse the dirt and bloody grime I couldn't get off earlier in the sink.

Walking out of the shower my long, jet black hair dripped over my full, athletic curves as I stepped into the now-ready bath.

John was already relaxing with his eyes closed on the padded rest. I glided the short distance to his side and he opened his eyes with a grin.

"Get over here." he whispered and pulled me in between his legs with my back laid upon him. He took the time to wash my hair again and then my body slowly getting every inch he could reach.

This was my favorite thing that he does, he knows how to pamper and please a woman.

I can feel his hot breath on the nape of my neck as he gently washes between my thighs. When he starts to slowly kiss my neck on the line from my ear to collar bone, it sends chills down my body and makes my breath catch.

The washcloth is no longer there, just his hands gently rubbing my aroused intimate area as he bites and nibbles on my neck now. They are like his promises between the kisses.

I moan and begin to gyrate my hips against him and he just pulls me closer to him, sliding a finger into my hot wet fold. I break free of his grasp and turn my wanting, emerald, green eyes at him as I turn to straddle him.

"God, you're so beautiful." He whispers staring deep into my eyes as I mount him. He kisses my chest and groans as I begin to move.

"Hush, now." I whisper as I kiss him deeply and our session of passion begins.
