Livin La Vida Loca

Chapter 26


A week later....

Sands sat at the kitchen table, absently shuffling a deck of cards as he watched Angel fixing them drinks before she sat down to play poker with him. It had become sort of an on going thing that they would sit and play poker together, get smashed drunk and then screw like rabbits. She winked as she moved towards the table with the two tequila and limes, putting them on the table before sitting down. It was standing joke between them that she used her charms to distract him from the game. Dressed in a green bikini top and very short cutoffs, her hair was falling wildly about her face. Distracting....oh yeah...she was. It was during these times that Angelica tended to forget her secret, forget what was going on. She felt guilty that he didn't know, but she felt that she needed to fly solo on this one. Sands dealt the cards and they put on their best poker faces. A few hands into the game and a couple of tequila and limes later, Sands heard the unmistakable sound of his cell phone ring. Real life was calling. He took the phone call, moving into the other room. Angelica looked up with curiosity, figuring they'd soon be out on a new mission. Sands returned a few minutes later, with a serious look on his face.

"SJ, is something wrong?" She asked, looking at him with curiosity.

"That was the main CIA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. There's something there I need to take care of and I have to fly out in a couple hours.."he answered.

"Don't you mean we?"

"Unfortunately, no, sweets, I mean me. But only because you aren't a CIA agent. I wish you could go, but this is CIA business at the headquarters..I'll be gone for two days" he said as he pulled her to him for a soft kiss, hoping to diffuse any chance of her getting upset. She always went with him, and he knew it would be hard for her to stay behind.

"I..I understand, babe... I don't want to stay behind and be bored and lonely, but if I must, I must..." she looked down.

Sands lifted her chin with his finger and kissed her lips again.. "I'll call you every spare minute I get so you won't have time to get lonely or bored.."

"Thanks, baby...but its not talking to you that I'll miss...."

"Oh really? What is it you'll miss then?"

"Sleeping in your arms and this..." the place she grabbed made him gasp..

"Oh, now you're playing dirty..damn...if I didn't have to go pack and get ready to leave...." his words were cut off with a kiss...he broke it, breathing hard.."Damn, woman, you're killing me here... if we don't stop..we won't stop.."

Angelica chuckled and slapped him on the butt , sending him off upstairs to pack and get ready to leave. She fully believed she'd wind up getting some quite raunchy phone calls while he was away.

A couple of hours later, they kissed at his car before he got in and drove away. Angelica stifled a sob. She wouldn't cry.. even though she had every reason to. She was worried that Perry may get wind of Sands not being home and try something. Little did she know that her gut feeling was right.

Perry sat on the couch, drinking whiskey and plotting. Surrounding him, were things he had taken from her house. One of her negligees, one of her thongs and pictures. One of her and one of her and Sands together. By looking through things, he'd learned his name and had done a search , getting his email as well. He however, would bide his time before actually using it. Suddenly,he got up and drove off to her house, parking just a bit up the road. Hiding near by, he noticed that Sands was leaving with suitcases in hand. She, however, did not have any. Could it be his luck that her husband was going away without her? It certainly looked that way. He stayed hidden and watched until he had left and she went back in the house. Slinking around the house, he watched her as much as possible, and then saw her fall asleep on the couch, in an old KISS t shirt and panties. He laughed. She must already be missing that man of hers to be sleeping in his t-shirt. He soon headed home. Upon reaching the house, he put in a phone call to her. Knowing she wouldn't answer, he left a few nasty messages and write her a few more emails. Soon, he would make his move. As he sat there drinking, he picked up the picture of them together and ripped it in half, then burning the half that was of Sands. By the time that bastard got back, Angie would no longer be his. He smiled a cold smile at the thought of it.


Two days later....


Perry quickly typed the email to Sands before walking out of the door. He had no idea how far away he was from home, but he still wanted to give the man fair warning that his wife was about to be taken from him. He laughed sarcastically as he hit the send button. He then headed out of the house and to his car, never minding that he was drunk out of his mind. Later, he pulled up a bit up the road from Angelica's house and made his way there. Sneaking around, he tried to spot her. Then he chuckled, for there she was, once again, asleep on the couch. Using the spare key he had lifted from the house, he quietly let himself in and stood at the doorway to the living room, watching her sleep. She was so beautiful. He would hate to have hurt her if she didn't cooperate. In his drunken mind, she would cooperate and be his again...right then. He quietly strode over to where she was and looked down at her. Then his hand reached out to gently stroke her cheek. She turned over on her back and mumbled her husband's name, followed by a soft whimper. Anger bubbled up in him, but he held his composure. he lightly stroked down her body...his hand slowly reaching under the old KISS t shirt and caressing her bare thigh. About that time, Angelica's eyes snapped open and she tried to scream. Before she could, he clamped a hand over her mouth and straddled her.

"Not a word, dearest. I told you this day would come. I bided my time until it was right. Don't resist, Angie, and you won't get hurt. You know you want me, you never stopped loving me...." he said menacingly.

Angelica could only get out muffled screams and began to fight wildly, arms flailing. He tried to hold her arms down, but a fist landed right in his mouth, busting his lip..

"Bitch! You'll pay for that!" he growled as he pushed up her shirt and tried to pry her legs apart. She bit his hand and kicked, scrambling out from under him and onto the floor where she quickly got up.

"P-perry... How the hell did you get in here? she got out.

He did not answer her. What he did do was to grab her again, only to receive more kicks and punches. She was a feisty little bitch! She fought him for everything she was worth, as she tried to get to one of her guns, but to no avail. Seconds later, he slammed her as hard as he could into the nearby bookcase, her head landing with a sickening hard thunk against the sharp corner, cutting her head. The last thing Angelica saw was his crazy, vengeful face before all went black.

"Angie, why did you have to fight and make me do that?" he said as he looked down at her still form. He then screamed a crazy, sickening scream and trashed the house from top to bottom. Furniture over turned, clothes strewn everywhere, pictures broken, everything that represented Sands and her or belong to Sands himself was trashed. Angelica's personal things, he left alone. He drank from his whiskey flask as he surveyed the damage. Laughing drunkenly, he sauntered out of the house and drove away.

Meanwhile, Sands had gotten his email and fury rose up in him. Damn her for not telling him! He knew it was because she was trying to be brave and handle it on her own, but had he known, he'd have never left her. God knows what the hell he would go home to. He had no idea just how far gone this weird motherfucker was. He cursed because the plane was flying so damn slow, it seemed. He'd been reading his email just before time for the plane to take off and the longer the plane was taking, the more pissed and worried he got. So help him, he would kill that fucker if he so much as touched her. Hours later, the plane landed and he immediately headed for home. Upon arriving, he found the front door wide open and Toby barking madly from where Perry had tethered him to a tree with a strong chain. Letting the dog loose, he drew his gun and cautiously made his way into the house. The sight he saw before him made hell fly into his eyes. He went all over the house, calling for Angelica and keeping an eye out in case Perry was still there. The whole house was trashed. Suddenly, he spied a form lying by the book case in the den. It was Angel. He quickly ran to her and pulled her into his lap. He saw the bruises forming on her face, her arms and so help him, her thighs. She was clad in only his old KISS shirt and a pair of panties, which had been ripped. So help him if she'd been raped...no he didn't want to imagine it. He checked her pulse, but it was weak and she was barely breathing. Still she was alive, but unconscious. It was then that he saw the cut on her head and the blood on his hands. He cursed loudly and picked up her slight form, quickly running with her to the car and rushing her to the hospital.

A couple hours later, Sands awakened to the voice of the ER doctor. He fallen into a light sleep, head in his hands. He came awake fully and quickly .

"How is she?" he asked, worried about the answer.

"Well, Mr. Sands, she has a badly sprained arm from it being twisted. She has bruises all over her body, but what we are most concerned about is the cut on her head, which we sewed up and the concussion she has sustained...." the doctor paused as if he were afraid to continue..

"Go on..." Sands choked out.

"As much as it pains me to have to tell you...."

Sands looked at the doctor ... oh god..please god ...don't let her be dead... he thought silently..

The doctor continued..." Your wife has slipped into a coma, Mr. Sands, because of the concussion she sustained. She will eventually awaken, but it could be days. However, the good news is that we do not see any potential long term brain damage. We have her on meds for the pain and you may see her as soon as you wish to..."

"That would be NOW..." Sands said immediately. The doctor nodded and took him up to another floor where Angel was in a private room. Before the doctor could leave, he stopped him.

"I have one more question for you..."

"Of course, " the doctor replied.

"She....she wasn't raped, was she?" he barely got out.

"No sir, but it appeared from the looks of her under clothes that he tried to, but she fought him off.."

Sands nodded .."That's my girl..." he replied weakly.

Sands took a deep breath and opened the door and walked in, quietly shutting it behind him. The sight he saw made tears sting his eyes, but Sands was not one to cry. He blinked them back and pulled up a chair at her bedside and took her hand in his, gently kissing it. Her other arm had an ace bandage on it up to her shoulder. Her beautiful face was full of bruises and a small cut was on her lip. On her forehead, near her temple, was another bandage covering the cut there, which was surrounded by swelling because of the concussion. He let out a choked curse and sat down again, taking her limp hand once more and pressing it to his cheek. He fell asleep just like that.

Chapter 27

When Sands awoke the next morning, he was in the same position in which he'd fallen asleep. He was disoriented at first, but once he saw his surroundings, everything came flooding back. Angelica lay there, softly breathing, but still not waking up. He knew he should talk to her. He knew that sometimes just talking would help her to wake up and come back to him. He leaned over to softly kiss her lips and stroke her hair out of her face. Then, taking her hand in his, he began to talk.

"Angel, sweetheart, it's me, SJ..." he began barely above a whisper... " Why didn't you tell me he was after you? Oh god, I'd never have left you alone. You have to come back to me...please wake up, baby.." she lay there silently, softly breathing.. " I love you so much. You keep me sane, don't you know that? You're supposed to be out there on missions with me, not lying here helpless. C'mon, sweet cheeks, come back to me..I miss you so much..."

Angelica was lost. She did not know where she was, but it was in a world where nothing was familiar. She looked around, looking for Sands. Where was he? She had to get back to him. She kept hearing a voice, far, far away. It sounded like him, but she wasn't sure....


Sands continued to stay there by her bed for the next two days, only leaving to eat and freshen up. He talked to her constantly, but she still remained the same. He wanted to go find Perry and make him pay for this, but he couldn't leave her alone. Suddenly, a thought came to him. He slipped outside the door and made a phone call to his sister, Janie. Thankfully, she answered on the first ring.

"Janie?"

"Sheldon? Is that you?" she answered.

"Yeah,yeah listen... Angelica is still in the coma. I need your help, if you're not busy, that is?"

"Sure..I can afford to take a few days off. What do you want me to do? Help you waste the fucker that did that to her?"

Sands chuckled in spite of the grim circumstances.. "No, I can waste him all by myself, thank you...but what I do want you to do is fly here as soon as you can and stay here with her until I can do some damage on that bastard and get back to her myself. And I DO mean you're not to leave her unless its to eat or take a piss , savvy? That crazy fucker is still on the loose and until I find him, I wouldn't put it past him to try to get to her again."

"Damn... well you know I don't like sitting around idly while you have all the fun.."

"Yeah, but I also know that if that fucker comes in there anywhere near her, you also wouldn't hesitate to waste his ass. C'mon, Janie, you want to help Angel, don't you?"

Janie thought about it. It was true that she hadn't actually had the chance to meet her new sister in law yet, in fact, she didn't even know her. However, memories in her own past made her want to help her. She frowned as she remembered that long ago night...

"Ok, I'll be there as soon as I can, but you better hurry and find his ass, because when I start getting restless..."

"Yeah,yeah...I know..." he said with mock sarcasm and a roll of his eyes. His sister was worse than him when it came to sitting still and not doing anything in a situation. They hung up and he went back to Angel....

The next day...


Sands awoke to someone shaking him by the shoulder. Opening his eyes slowly, he looked up into the face of Janie.

"Damn, you look like hell...." she said as she looked him over.

"I feel like hell....how long have you been here?"

"Just walked in the door, but I got here about an hour ago. How is she?" Janie asked as she looked over at Angel.

"The same. I keep talking to her, but she hasn't moved a muscle yet. Do you by chance have your laptop with you?"

"Yeah, gotta have something to do while I sit here playing nursemaid..."

"Aw, c'mon Janie, don't give me any shit about your not going with me to hunt that fucker,ok? I'm NOT in the fuckin mood!" He said with a scathing look.

"Geez, sorry, I was only kidding..bad joke I guess.. here's the computer.." she said, sitting down and putting it on a nearby table

He opened the laptop and signed on to it and then accessed the Internet. The net was a gateway to all kinds of resources available to him. Being CIA had its advantages. With a few clicks, he could learn everything there was to know about Perry, right down to his most personal information. What he found out was not shocking to him. after what he'd done to Angelica. It turned out that Perry's surf shop business had went down the tubes and only the original one in Mexico was open. He figured that Perry had come back thinking he could get Angelica back and start over. He also found out that Perry had done to one other girl what he did to Angelica. Her name was Celia and he had met her in California after he had left Angelica. When things didn't work out for them, he'd become obsessed and tried to kill her. He did rape her, but was acquitted of the charges because someone didn't have the right paperwork on the investigation. Sands cursed. Well, he wouldn't see the inside of another courtroom and get off this time. This time, he was going to stand trial Sands-style.

He closed the computer and stood up, walking over to Angel's bed. Kissing her lips softly, he whispered that he loved her and would be back soon. Janie watched him with a smile on her face. She knew that Sands did not soften for anyone who wasn't family usually, but she could see how much he loved Angelica. He stood back up and told Janie to take care of her and out the door he went with a determined look on his face. Janie sighed. It was no telling when he would be back. She looked over and studied Angelica. Even with bruises and cuts on her face, she was a pretty girl. Janie pulled her chair closer to the bed. She could talk to her if nothing else.

"Hello, Angelica. You haven't met me yet, but I am Sands' sister, Janie. I am watching over you while he goes to hunt down Perry. Just do me a favor and come back to him. He needs you. I have never seen him like this. My brother is a sarcastic ass, yes, but I can tell that he really does love you. C'mon girl... after all I have heard about you, I know you're stronger than this. Fight it, Angelica. Don't let that fucker win....wake up.."

Angelica slept on. Janie sighed and crossed her arms. It was going to be a long day..


Meanwhile, Sands drove back to the trashed house and went down to the basement. In a concealed place,he found their extra guns and ammunition. After getting dressed in a black shirt and black jeans, he donned his black leather gloves and picked up the most powerful of all of the guns and a few rounds of ammunition. Sunglasses hid his eyes. Concealing the weapon on him, he made his way back to his car. Lighting a cigarette, he smoked as he drove to where his information said Perry lived. The place looked deserted, but he then saw one light on. Smiling wickedly, he quietly parked the car a couple of blocks away and made his way toward the house, staying to the shadows. He moved quietly around the outside of the house, looking in windows where he could, to try and spot Perry. He finally spotted him lying on the sofa, with what appeared to be something lacy clutched in his arms. Wait..it looked like..anger suddenly boiled up in him. It was one of Angel's negligees. How the hell did he get that? What a sick fuck...he muttered to himself. Now he knew who it was that Angelica saw at the foot of their bed that night and that it was no nightmare. He continued to watch him for awhile, when suddenly Perry awakened and looked around. Sands immediately ducked under the window. Didn't want him finding him there too quickly. He watched as Perry clutched the piece of lingerie closer to him and kept saying her name over and over, getting louder each time. Finally seeing enough, he went around to the back door and found it to be unlocked. He walked in, still keeping to the shadows and watched from just inside the doorway to the den. The man was a raving lunatic. He saw pictures upon pictures of Angel ranging from her teenage years to the present. One he saw, was ripped in half and knew it was the one they had taken in Tijuana. He then decided to make his move. Walking into the semi dark room, he stopped just behind Perry.

"So.. fuckmook, we finally meet..." Sands said menacingly.

Perry slowly turned around with first a look of alarm and then a slow, crazy smile spread across his face.. "Yes...Sands, is it? I knew you'd find me out sooner or later. I knew you would come after me once you saw what I did to Angie. She deserved what she got. I told her not to resist and she chose to fight me............."

"SHUT UP, FUCKER..." Sands screamed as he advanced on Perry...

A crazy laugh came from Perry... "You think you can hurt me, Sands? You can't. Nothing can hurt me. It certainly won't bring your precious Angelica back, will it? What's the use? Just let me kill you too and get it over with.." and with that, Perry attacked grabbing Sands before he had a chance to grab his gun or react. Locked in combat, the two fought like rabid pit bulls....

Janie was going nuts, just sitting there. She was worried because Sands had yet to call and more than that she was bored. Her instincts told her that she needed to get her ass to wherever he was and help him, whether he wanted her to or not. She quickly dialed the hotel where her two fellow agents were staying. Knowing something was going to go down once she got to Mexico, she had not traveled alone. She got them on the phone and told them to come to the hospital immediately and guard Angelica so she could go and help her brother. They arrived about ten minutes later and Janie was out the door. Using the information on Perry that she'd recovered from her laptop, she found the house with no problems. As she walked up, she could hear the sounds of things being broken and loud screams of both anger and pain. Drawing her gun and walking into the open back door, she saw Sands standing there, hands in the air and Perry pointing his own gun at him. Evidently, in the brawl, he'd gotten hold of it. Blood covered both of them and Sands had a black eye. Perry's face was contorted in an evil smile and his face was covered in bruises and his lip busted. One of his arms hung limply at his side, obviously broken. She stepped into the room and pointed her own gun at him.

"Drop it, you sick fucker!" she hissed.

"Dammit, Janie, get the hell out of here! This fucker is crazy as hell!" Sands yelled..briefly shifting his gaze to his sister.

"Not on your life, bro! I refuse to let him do to another woman what he did to Angel. You don't seem to be in a position NOT to accept my help, eh?" she grinned.

"Good point.." he muttered.

Perry turned and pointed the gun on Janie and in that brief second, Sands grabbed him around the neck, wrestling the gun from his grasp. Brother and sister then advanced on him..moving forward as he moved back, then he turned and ran up the stairs, with them hot on his heels. They caught up with him at the second floor balcony. Perry just laughed and laughed. crazy, out of his mind laughs. But before either Sands or Janie could shoot him.. he jumped... falling onto the bushes below. They broke his fall, so he wasn't dead. Sands immediately went outside and went to his car, pulling out his old Louisville Slugger. Stalking back to the house, he saw Janie holding her gun on Perry. He then took the bat into position and swung like he was hitting a home run, literally breaking the man's face. Perry was still laughing.

"Boy, I think you hit that one out of the park, " Janie joked. Then he grabbed his gun and shot Perry right between the eyes, blood splattering everywhere.


Sands then looked at his sister and stalked off towards his car. Janie called for a clean up crew on her cellphone and then followed her brother. He was just standing there, leaning against the car, looking down. She put a hand on his shoulder and he looked up.

"You gonna be ok?" she asked, concerned.

"No, Janie..not until I know Angel is awake and going to be alright.."

With that, he got into his car and started it up. Janie got into her rented one and followed him back to the house. After taking a shower and getting dressed, Sands let her help him clean and bandage the few cuts on his arms and his cut lip. He had a nice shiner on his left eye and his right cheekbone was bruised. Small prices to pay for getting revenge. They then got into their cars and headed back to the hospital. Upon arriving, they learned from Angel's guards that she still hadn't awakened. Sands immediately went to his wife's bed and softly kissed her lips. Then, sitting beside her, he took her hand in his. Janie motioned for the two agents to follow her and allow Sands to be alone with Angelica.

"Angel...its me, baby. I have good news. I got rid of Perry. He'll never hurt you or anyone again, sweets. But what I need right now is for you to come back to me. Please.... I miss you so much. I need you here with me...."

Angelica could hear a voice in the shadows of the dark world she was in. His voice, the voice of her Sands. He was calling to her, begging her to come back to him. She followed his voice, trying hard to find him.....

"Angel...I love you...." he whispered and then suddenly he felt her hand lightly squeeze his. He immediately yelled for Janie to go and get the nurse..

Angelica could hear his voice clearer now, getting closer. His voice telling her that he loved her.. she moved closer... and then a bright light descended upon her..

Sands watched as Angelica's eyelids weakly fluttered. She was trying to open her eyes.. "C'mon, baby, that's it, you're almost here..." he said softly..

"S-SJ?" she muttered weakly... her eyes opening slowly.

"Yes, yes, baby, I am here, right here beside you..." he smiled.

She could see him clearly now. She smiled weakly and reached for him. Sands did not hesitate in going to her and kissing her softly..

"What happened to me, baby? Why am I in a hospital?" she asked.

"What is the last thing you remember?"

"I.....I was fighting Perry. He came to the house after you left and attacked me.. that's all I remember.."

"He hurt you badly, babe. You had a concussion and have just awakened from a three day coma..but don't worry about him, Angel. He won't be hurting you or anyone else anymore. The man was a raving lunatic.."

"You killed him?"

"Yeah, I did, after I made him suffer. He deserved nothing less than that.."

About that time, Janie came into the room with a nurse and Angelica's doctor following close behind. They checked Angelica's eyes and took her vitals , then gave her some more pain medicine.


"Is she going to be okay?" Sands inquired of them.

"Yes, she is going to be fine. She's a strong woman. We will need to keep her here a few days more and observe her now that she has awakened.."

"Alright, but you do know I'll be camping out here as well.." he joked and they laughed, telling him it was not a problem. Being a CIA agent once again, had its advantages.

They talked with Angelica for awhile and Sands properly introduced her to Janie. The two hit it off immediately. Suddenly, Angel yawned and Sands chased everyone out of the room so she could rest. Stretching out on the cot beside her, he drifted off to sleep himself.

Chapter 28


Sands stepped into the house, as Toby met him at the door. Scratching the dog's ear, he surveyed the damage that had been done. Toby looked around for Angelica and whined.


"Yeah, I know you miss her boy, she'll be home soon.." he said as he petted the dog reassuringly.


He walked from room to room, looking around to see what needed to be replaced. Most of it was furniture and personal items, mostly his. The house itself, surprisingly, had not been damaged. Picking up the phone, he called and hired a cleaning service to come and fully clean the house and take away every trace of what had happened. Over the course of the next week, he replaced as much as he could, so the house would be as perfect as possible when Angelica came home. This was all definitely new to him. If he'd been by himself still, he wouldn't have cared so much. He could only hope that her ordeal would not change things between them. He hoped that she wouldn't be reminded of it every time she walked in the house. If that turned out to be the case, he'd move her elsewhere before he'd let her suffer. He only wanted her to be happy. Loving him had proven to put her through more hell in the last year and few months than she probably had in her whole life. Still, he knew she was stubborn and would put up with anything to be with him. She didn't care if he was rich, poor, an asshole, a sweetheart, an agent or not..she just wanted him. He knew that and it made him smile that someone actually loved him that much. She kept him sane. Yeah, he was still an asshole and yes, still crazy as hell, but she kept him grounded. At least now when he felt the need to raise hell, she was by his side when he did. He'd missed her being right there beside him these past couple weeks, but he'd stayed there by hers as much as possible. He couldn't not do it. He looked over the newly refurnished house and grinned. Time to go pick her up.

An hour later, they drove up to the house. Angelica was feeling a bit wary about things, but she put on her brave face. Although she didn't remember much of the attack, what she did remember still lingered in her mind. Had she been able to get a gun, he'd have been dead. She knew now that Sands loved her enough to have wasted the jerk for her. She refused to let what happened to her destroy what she felt for him. He did seem kind of edgy around her though, and suddenly acted as though he thought she was afraid for him to touch her. He couldn't be more wrong if that was the case. She did want him badly and was actually aching for him to touch her. She snapped out of her thoughts when the car stopped and they got out. Toby met them at the car and followed them to the house. Sands stopped her at the front door and kissed her softly...


"Baby..I did what I could to get the house back to order before you came home.."

"Thanks, babe..I'm sure I'll love it, "she grinned as she kissed him sweetly.." Now can we go in? I need a freakin shower.. "


"Uh, sure, sweets, come on.." The thought of her being in the shower immediately made his blood heat, but he made no move to join her. She needed to heal in her own way first. He swallowed hard and opened the front door, walking with her inside. Angelica's jaw immediately dropped at the sight before her. Everything was redecorated and just to their tastes. He took her through, showing her everything. When they got to the den, she really smiled. The walls were dark paneled and it had new black carpet on the floor. Along one wall was a small bar and at one end was a pool table. The black leather furniture was situated around a huge TV and stereo system. The walls were graced with posters of the most respected rock bands in history.. The Stones, Zeppelin, The Beatles, Aerosmith and KISS.. and yes, even Elvis had a place up there. Angelica loved the room immediately and it was only fitting that it would be the one that he'd spent the most time on. They spent nearly all of their time in that den, other than the bedroom of course.


"Jesus, SJ..where'd you get the dough for all of this? God, this is too much..!" He could see that she was very pleased.

"Well, insurance paid for most of it, sweet cheeks, but as I always say..being CIA has its advantages.." he winked.


Awhile later, clean and refreshed from her shower, Angelica was feeling a bit disappointed that he'd not joined her in the shower after the hint about her needing one. She could only hope that he didn't think differently of her because of what happened. She hadn't been raped, after all. Could be he thought she was the one who wasn't ready for it yet. How wrong he was. Clad only in her Aerosmith t-shirt, she made her way down to the den and immediately felt a surge of desire at the sight of him. Clad only in boxers and no shirt, he was racking up the balls for a game of pool. She bit her lip and walked into the room, stopping short of the pool table where he stood. Aerosmith played in the background and the song bearing her name had just started. Walking tentatively over to him, she lightly touched his hand to stop him from racking up. He turned to her and was immediately transfixed at the sight of her. Clad only in the t-shirt, her hair was slightly damp and fell nearly to her waist. Her dark brown eyes held his .


"SJ, dance with me, baby...." she softly pleaded. Keeping eye contact with her, he pulled her into his arms and they began to dance slowly....


Baby
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right....


She closed her eyes and pressed closer as they danced. Christ, he felt so good. Sands stroked her hair and swallowed hard. She had no idea what she was doing to him. He wanted her so bad. Wanted to love her again...


You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why....


She lifted her head off his chest and looked up at him. He could see a tear slowly trickle down her cheek and gently brushed it away, lightly kissing her forehead..

"SJ...kiss me...please..." she whispered.


His lips descended upon hers in a soft gentle kiss. Angelica didn't want gentleness, she wanted passion. She opened her mouth and let his tongue gain entry, pressing her body closer to his. Sands groaned softly as he deepened the kiss, his tongue hotly exploring her mouth. Though he tried to stop, he could not. His hands slowly wandered up under the hem of her shirt, finding her bare underneath and groaning again.


"I want you, SJ..." she whispered against his lips. Sands slowly backed her up towards the pool table and boosted her up,standing between her legs. Their mouths were once again fused together in a passionate kiss. Sands broke the kiss and swallowed hard..

"Are you sure, baby?" he choked out, lightly stroking her hair..

"Yes, SJ... touch me...." she whispered...

"I am, sweet cheeks..." he whispered as his fingers danced down her back, making her shiver.

"No, baby....I mean touch me... here...." She whispered as she took hold of his hand and placed it at the center of her desire for him.

"Oh, Christ..." he groaned as he felt how hot and wet she was for him. Lightly stroking her, he kissed down her neck. His fingers soon slowly thrust in, pumping slowly...

"Yes....oh yes..." she softly sighed as her hips rocked against his hand. Oh god, she missed his hands on her. She then took off the shirt, revealing her full nudity to him. Lying back on the pool table, she arched her body up towards him. His hand left her heat and he ran both hands down her body, then leaned over to lightly suck and taste her breasts. Angelica was sobbing from the sheer pleasure of it. Putting her arms around his neck, he pulled her back up to a sitting position and kissed her again. Angelica moaned and reached for his boxers, pushing them down so he could step out of them. His breath caught as her fingers encircled him and began to stroke slowly..


"Jesus, woman, you're driving me crazy...." he barely got out..


" Make love to me, SJ...I need you so much..." she softly moaned as her hand stroked faster, her thumb rubbing over the sensitive tip of him over and over and making him groan and bite his lip. Sands stopped her then and wrapped her legs around his waist and picked her up. Not wanting to go all the way upstairs, he lowered her to the nearby couch, still between her legs and their mouths crashed together in a fiery kiss.


Angelica moaned as she felt his body touch hers. He felt so good and all she wanted right then was to feel him deep inside her. He sat back on his knees and slowly rubbed the tip of his now throbbing cock up and down her wetness a few times before entering with a long,slow thrust, making her gasp and pull him down to her...


"Oh god..so tight..." he got out as he thrust again. Angelica kissed him desperately, wrapping her legs around him to hold him tight inside her depths. He began to work into a hot, passionate rhythm, as her hips rose to meet his. Moans came from both of them as he drove in deeper with each thrust, his hips grinding. Finally hitting her sweet spot, he kept pressure upon it, nearly making her scream in pleasure..


"Y-yes..right there...oh Christ..." She moaned as she arched up hard against him. At the same time, her body shuddered , clenching him tight. Sands kept up at that pace, kept the pressure there, giving her what she needed so desperately. Unable to hold back any longer, Angelica screamed his name as she came hard, her body shaking. The feel of her squeezing him so splendidly sent him off the edge too and he came as well, still thrusting deep into her. Then, he slowed down. Slow, lazy thrusts to draw out their pleasure for as long as possible. Wave after wave of pleasure crashed over the two of them as ecstasy took over. Moans of pleasure escaped both of them as they kissed.


"oh god, I love you..." he whispered as he lightly licked at her nipples, and caressed her slowly..

"I love you too, SJ...so very much..." she whispered back.

Not really wanting to move, but not wanting to crush her either, Sands turned them over so she was laying on top of him and held her close.

"Feel better now, sweetness?" he chuckled as he saw the look of satisfaction on her pretty face.

"Much, much better..." she said sleepily, kissing him.

Sands grinned and pulled the blanket down from off the couch back and covered them. He didn't want to move and neither did she, which was fine for them both. Angelica fell asleep there, listening to his heartbeat and feeling safe in his arms. Sands held her there vowing then and there to never leave her alone again.

Chapter 29

Some weeks later....


Angelica looked up curiously as she heard the unmistakable ring of Sands' cellphone. She'd fully recovered from her ordeal and the sound of it ringing made her grin. She couldn't wait to find out what kind of mission they would go on next. She watched him intently as he took the call and tried to grasp parts of the conversation. She heard her name mentioned and some argument followed. Finally, he hung up with a pissed expression on his face.

"Is something the matter, baby?" she asked, curious.

"Sort of, yes. Its this new mission they want me for. Seems there is a sex trafficking ring in California that they have leads on. Want me to go in and bust it up. Intelligence says that the ringleader is the owner of a strip club called Candi's. Its supposed to be one of the more classier joints. They figure the best way to get in would be for a female agent to go in undercover. However, none of the ladies who would look good for the part want to even go for it, reasons why..I have no idea. Well, I mentioned you to them..and ...well..they said it was against their advice because you aren't CIA..."

"So what if I am not CIA..its not like I've never helped you on a mission before..."

"I know.." he nodded, "And you know my tendencies to break the rules, sugarbutt.."

"I do indeed, doll... however, I kind of wish it were you going undercover.." she grinned wickedly.

"Why's that?"

"Becuase I'd love to see you on stage, stripping down for a bunch of horny women..me included.."

"Ha..right..I wouldn't be caught dead in a fucking thong or whatever the hell it is they wear... Nope.. you'd be much, much better for the job. After all, you have all the experience.." he grinned.

"Damn...you're right. I guess I'll just have to keep that image tucked away in my brain..." she said with a mock pout.."But SJ, I've never went undercover before. I am afraid I'll fuck it up for sure."

"Sure you've been under cover...plenty of times..." he said with cocky grin..

"SJ...I meant on a mission..." she laughed, blushing..." I'm serious here!"

He couldn't resist pulling her close for a kiss... "I know.. but listen. All you have to do is get in there and do what you know. You know how to be a stripper. You know how to lure people. Whatever it takes, you know that. We make you up a fake identity, everything. I'll be close by in case any thing goes wrong."

"SJ, you know I am there, baby. I guess I am a little nervous about actually being the one in the middle of it all.. " she said, kissing him softly.

"Don't be.. you'll be fine. You're my girl and i know you can handle it.."

Angelica smiled at the thought of how much he really did trust her to go under cover on this mission. Although it made her a little nervous, she'd do it for him. The hell with the Agency. They had a day and a half to get things together and fly up to California to begin the mission. Toby would go with them and stay wherever they were staying when not working. Sands immediatley set to making Angelica's fake ID, while she started packing. She looked over her stripper outfits and found the classiest ones to work in as well as plenty of pretty thongs and bras to wear under them. Sands called some resources and got them an apartment to stay in while in California as opposed to staying in hotels. Soon, they were ready to go.


Two days later...


The plane touched down at LAX and Sands and Angelica disembarked, picking up their luggage as well as Toby in his kennel. Armed with concealed guns, they made their way to their rented car and to the rented apartment. It was no where as big as the house, but it would do. After unpacking, they went out to look around. Angelica frowned a little at a few surfacing memories. California still held memories she'd rather forget... and forget them she would. She was with Sands now and the subject of those memories was gone forever.


L.A. was still the city of sun and sin. Everywhere they looked up, there were strip clubs and bars. Prostitutes stood boldly on the corners as if they were taunting the police to come arrest them. Everywhere there was blonde hair and tanned bodies. Nightlife in Los Angeles was in full swing tonight. They soon pulled up to a classy looking place that bore the name Candi's. Telling Angelica to stay put for a few minutes, Sands walked in to check the place out. Many a heated and curious glance he recieved as he walked by numerous scantily clad waitresses and from the girls on the stage. Most of them looked legal, but he knew some of them were not. Whoever the fucker was that was leading the ring had lots of underage girls in it. Girls that should be in high school, not in a strip bar or on a street corner. He gritted his teeth as he thought of it. His eyes roamed the interior of the place, coming rest on a figure standing at the back stage door. Remembering the pictures he'd recieved upon arrival, he recognized the man as the ringleader. Around him stood several pretty girls, all acting as if he was god's gift to them, and looking at him adoringly. Sands continued his survey of the place, when he saw the man grab one of the girls by the arm and disappear. Curious, he stayed to the shadows and followed them into a darkened corridor, slipping in the door before it could shut. He stayed hidden, hearing a heated argument of sorts between the two..

"But Jimmy, I need a pick me up..." the girl pleaded..

"No, what you need, Carly, is to get that sweet little ass of yours back out there and do what you are told. Remember little girl, Daddy always gives you what you need, but only if you're good.." The man replied in a sarcastic voice.

"Asshole..." the girl muttered..

The word did not escape Jimmy Santino's ears and he gave the girl a hard, bruising kiss and then a stinging, mean slap to her ass....

"What was that, princess??"

The girl hung her head and lowered her eyes.."Sorry..."

"Sorry, what?"

"Sorry...Daddy..." she said barely above a whisper. Tears slid down Carly's face as she turned to leave and go back to work. She wanted so badly to be free of him and this stupid place. At sixteen years old, Carly looked more like she was twenty. She was a runaway and had quickly gotten caught up in the world of sex and drugs. In return for Jimmy's silence and a few lines of coke, she was forced day in and day out to perform at Candi's and also privately as a hooker. She remembered the first time as tears slid down her cheeks. She'd been tricked into thinking she was only going to dance, but had wound up losing her virginity to one of the club's patrons. Once that first time was over, it got easier to do it since she was high most of the time. However, when her head was clear, she was once again that frightened sixteen year old, who only wanted get clean and go home. She couldn't though. Jimmy had her bound to this place. Even if she did go to the police, she felt sure she'd be arrested. Jimmy Santino had a thing for young girls and Carly was not the only one. He had about a dozen that danced and turned tricks for him.


Sands frowned as he heard the exchange between the two. That girl didn't want to be there, he could tell. He watched as she walked past him in the semi darkness , tears in her eyes. He waited for Santino to walk further down into the corridor and slipped back out the door, unseen. Walking rapidly through the club, he walked out the exit and back to the car. Getting in, he drove off without saying a word. Angelica looked at him with curiosity. She could only imagine what he'd found out. Pulling up to the apartment building, they went inside. Angelica got them both a beer and sat on Sands' lap and kissed him softly. He just pulled her close and held her for a moment. Maybe this wasn't such a hot idea after all. If that Santino prick did to her what he'd seen him do to the other girl, Sands would give him a bullet to the brain for his trouble. Still, he knew that Angelica was brave and would be determined to do whatever it was he needed of her. Angelica looked at him with a slightly worried expression on her face...

"SJ, something's got you rattled, I can tell. What'd you find out?" she asked, settling down comfortably in his lap.

Sands wrapped his arms around her protectively.." Well, that's definitely the place. I saw Santino myself. Thing is, some of the girls working in there are underage, Angel. I witnessed an exchange between Santino and a girl named Carly. Apparently, he gets them hooked on drugs and then forces them to work for him to get the drugs,among other things. From what I saw, he abuses them as well. I mean, Angel, these girls belong in high school, not in a club stripping and doing god only knows what else. We need to act fast and get that Santino fucker busted..."


"Oh my god..." Angel said, shaking her head. She had a kid sister back home named Cindy and god knows what she'd do if something like that happened to her.. "Tell me what to do, babe, and its done..."


"Ok, this is what we're going to do. You are going to go into that club tomorrow looking drop dead gorgeous and get hired on as a stripper. While you get close to those girls and keep Santino distracted, I will be gathering what evidence and information I can. But don't worry, I won't be far away. If you see me in the club, do NOT act like you know me, savvy? It'll blow your cover and we can't risk that. I'll tell you when the time is right and we'll bust him. Think you can handle it?" he said with a wink.

"Oh yeah, you know I can handle it, doll.. " she grinned.

"That's my girl..." he whispered, kissing her lightly.


The next afternoon...


Angelica fluffed her mostly dried hair and checked her makeup one last time. Dressed in a lacy minidress and thigh high platform boots, she made her way out to the car where Sands was waiting to drive her to the club. After checking her concealed gun and boot dagger, she slipped on her sunglasses and got in. Sands let out a low whistle of appreciation at the sight of her.


"Lookin good there, sweet thing.." he grinned with approval.. "You ready to do this?"

"Ready and willing, doll.. let's do it!" She smiled.


"Ok, first things first.. this... "He took off her wedding band and put it on the pinky of his right hand..."Has to go. I know you won't like not wearing it, but you can't while you're undercover. Here is your fake identity and everything to make your cover believable..." Angelica bit her lip. She'd not taken that wedding band off for any long length of time since Sands had put it on her finger. He kissed her softly.." Don't worry sweet cheeks, just because you aren't wearing that ring doesn't mean you aren't still married..."


"I know, baby, it just feels weird is all.." she replied with a quick grin.." But there is something else I am worried about, SJ. Suppose this Santino dude wants me to kiss him..or even worse, have sex with him.. what do i do then?"

Sands thought for a minute. The thought of another man touching her made him angry... " Well, sweets...while undercover, one usually does things that they may not do. I 'll fucking kill him if he tries that, but a few kisses might be in order. Trust me, sweets, you're working and I see it as nothing more than that. I know I wouldn't lose you."


Feeling the need to reassure her, Sands kissed her then. A slow hot kiss as he pulled her to him. Angelica moaned softly into his mouth. She knew she was still his, ring or not. He broke the kiss and stroked her cheek. Angelica smiled. He started the car and they were off.


Chapter 30


Angelica paused and collected her wits for a minute before walking into the club. Shooting a nervous look in Sands' direction, he gave her a reassuring wink. Well..here goes nothing..she thought. She took a deep breath and walked in, strolling up to where she saw one of the bouncers leaning against the bar. The man looked her up and down as if he could jump on her then and there. Shrugging it off, she approached him with confidence.

"I am looking for the owner of this place..are you it?" she asked without preamble.

"No, that would be Mr. Santino.. Miss...?"

"Nicci.. Nicci Rhodes.."

"Of course, and what business do you have with Mr. Santino?"

Angelica shot him a coy grin and a wink.. "I think we both know why I am here..." she said with a little roll of her hips.

"Ah, looking to work for Mr. Santino, eh? He's back in his office. I'll go and see if he is available..wait here"

"Sure thing, sugar.." Angelica smiled as he walked off.

Angelica inwardly chuckled. She hadn't done this kind of thing in awhile, but she hadn't lost her touch. That guy was ready to eat out of her hand. She stood casually at the bar, sipping on a beer when the bouncer returned, this time with a man dressed in what looked like a 70s leisure suit with a loudly colored shirt on under it. Boy, he sure knows how to dress.." she thought with rolling eyes. As he approached her, she pulled down her sunglasses to peer over them at him and put on her most flirtatious smile.

"Hello, Miss Rhodes, what can I do for you?" He asked as he looked her up and down.

"Plain and simple, Mr. Santino.. I need a job and I hear your club is one of the better ones.."

"How much experience do you have in this line of work?"

"A few years. Dancing is what I love to do, though.." she answered.

"I see.. and you are how old?"

"I am thirty..." she said with a smile.

"Well, uh, thirty is a little older than I like, but you look much younger than that.."

"Thanks, " she said with another flirtatious grin.

"Ok, up on stage, let's see what you got..."


Angelica made her way onto the stage and the music started. She put on her best show for Santino, both on the floor and the pole. He gave her definite looks of approval, but stopped her before the clothes started coming off.

"Very good, my dear.. when can you start?"

"How bout tonight?" Angelica answered.

"See you at 7PM sharp then.." he smiled and walked off towards the back.


Angelica sighed and with a grin, walked back outside where Sands was waiting in the car.

Later that night...


Angelica and Sands parted ways at the car. She would go inside and perform while he collected evidence. Kissing him for good luck, she made her way into the club and straight to the backstage area. Looking around, she made herself familiar with the surroundings and where all of the exits were. The backstage area was abuzz with activity of girls getting ready for their performances. She looked around as she walked further in and then out of another door leading to a semi dark corridor. Sensing she shouldn't be there, she shrugged it off and kept going, coming upon a door slightly ajar. Quietly peeking inside, she saw about five girls, engaged in various sex acts with men and doing coke. Some of them didn't look a day over sixteen. The thought of it made her sick. Seeing one of the men hand the girl money and start coming towards the door, she made a quick exit back into the backstage area. Suddenly, a voice behind her startled her.

"Are you lost or something?" Angelica turned to see a very pretty girl wearing a silk robe.

"Uh yeah, you know I am! I am starting tonight and I have no idea where I need to be. Name's Nicci.." she smiled.

The girl smiled.." Name's Carly, nice to meet you. Um, well, if you're on stage tonight, you're where you belong. Just pick a vacant makeup table and stash your bag."

Seeing Carly go and sit down at one of the tables, she noticed the one beside her was empty and immediately claimed it. Sitting down, she began applying makeup..

"So how long have you been working here, Carly?" Angelica inquired as she dabbed on eyeshadow..

"Um, about six months. Santino got me off the street, but I have to work for him in return."

"Dancing?"

"Uh, yeah, dancing and entertaining men privately.."

"You mean hooking? "

"If that's what you want to call it, yes.. Look, I gotta go on in a few, talk to you later.." and with that Carly made her way out to the main stage.

Angelica bit her lip and thought. She needed to let Sands know immediately what she's found out. Slipping into the bathroom and making sure she was alone, she quickly dialed his cellphone. Watching cautiously, she waited for him to pick up.

"Yeah, Sands here..."

"SJ, its me..." she said in a hushed tone.

"Angel..geez babe, you shouldn't call me while you're in there, its not safe.."

"I made sure I was alone and am watching the door. Listen, I found out some stuff. I met that girl Carly. She looked high as a kite when I was talking to her and she fully admitted to me that she not only dances but is a hooker as well. Our suspicions were right. The girl doesn't look a day over sixteen when she's not all girled up.."

"Good work, babe, but you better go..can't have you blowing your cover.."


And with that, they said their goodbyes and hung up.


Over the course of the next two days, Angelica worked on getting close to the girls and Santino and performed as well. As far as she could see, her "boss" was becoming quite a bit attracted to her. He kept making subtle little moves on her, letting her know what he expected. The thought of any man touching her but Sands made her sick to her stomach.

Sands watched Angelica perform and smiled at the memories it brought back. However, he was not here for fun. Sneaking down that corridor again, he walked until he found a door that was locked tight. Figuring it to be Santino's office, he put the silencer on his gun and shot the lock open. Looking around the room, he spotted several suitcases. Opening one, he found them full of cocaine. Then he spotted the computer. Finding it to not be locked, he sat down at it and browsed around. Photos of the various girls engaged in lewd acts with men were in abundance as well as videos. He also got into the girls profile files and saw that half, if not most of them were under 18. Shaking his head, he gathered the information and slipped back out of the door. Once he was in the clear out side the club, he made a call to the LAPD detectives on the case.


Angelica watched from the wings as Carly performed on the stage. Her dancing seemed stiff and unskilled tonight, probably because she was high. She could tell that the girl was not entirely happy with the job she was doing. Angelica didn't blame her. Santino hadn't yet approached Angelica about hooking yet, and it was a good thing he didn't, if he wanted to live. They did, however, have a few run ins and it was obvious he wanted to keep Angelica as well as Carly, for himself. She was made to call him "Daddy" just as the rest of the girls did. It was then that she heard her music begin to play and she danced out onto the stage in full stripper mode. She spotted Sands in the audience watching and couldn't resist a grin and roll of her hips. Suddenly, near the end of her dance, she saw Santino out the corner of her eye, all but dragging Carly into the back corridor entrance. Looking out at the crowd and spotting Sands, she knew he'd seen it too, because he shot her a look before making his way towards the entrance himself.

Sands quickly ran down the corridor and stopped just short of the office door, Inside, he could hear Carly's pleading cries for Santino to stop. Busting open the door, he pulled his gun and put it to the man's head.

"Get the fuck off her, Santino, or I'll splatter your brains all over that wall, savvy?!" Sands snarled.

Santino backed off the girl and spun around to punch Sands, but instead of shooting him, Sands punched him hard enough in the face to daze him. Keeping his gun trained on the man's forehead, he used his cellphone to call the detective backup in the club. Carly sat hunched in a corner, shaking and crying. Soon, the detectives showed up and took over with Santino, who was fighting in every way he knew how. Then he managed to get to his desk and push a button, alerting the bouncers. Sands put his gun to the man's head again, holding it there as one of the detectives cuffed him. About that time, the two bouncers rushed in with guns drawn. Before they could shoot, however, throwing daggers hit both of them in their knees, sinking deep. They slumped to the floor, unable to get up, their guns knocked from their hands. Sands looked up to see Angel there, clad only in her thong, preparing to throw another dagger. Chuckling, he threw her his jacket to cover up with. Putting it on and finding the tiny derringer in the inside pocket, she drew it and held her aim along with him. The detectives cuffed the bouncers and were about to read Santino his rights when he began to struggle and fight again.

"You'll never prove a thing, you bunch of nosey fuckers!" He spat out.

"Want to bet?" Sands sneered. He then produced the photos, tapes containing the videos, a briefcase full of drugs, and hard copies of all of the girls' information. Showing it all to Santino, he gave him an evil smile..

"You're busted, fuckmook!" Sands taunted him.

Meanwhile, the other two detectives had closed the club and rounded all of the girls into the backstage area and were guarding the door to keep them from leaving. They began to cuss and some of them cry as they saw the other detectives come by with Santino and the bouncers, cuffed and struggling. Sands and Angelica followed, Carly between them. They offered to help the girls and get them the help they needed to get out of the situation for good, but most of them were angry to the point of fighting and were hauled away by other LAPD officers that soon showed up. Carly, however, stood silently by, tears streaming down her face. Angelica's heart went out to the girl.

"Hey, Carly...are you alright?" she asked.

"Yeah..no...I don't know, Nicci. I am so confused right now.."

Angelica smiled. "My name isn't Nicci, Carly. Its Angelica. I was in here undercover to bust up this sex trafficking ring."

The girl looked at her with surprise.. " So you are a CIA agent too?"

"Not quite, but let's just say I help them out sometimes and now I want to help you. If you want to get out of this, I can get a hold of your family and get you the help you need to get clean. But you have to WANT to, Carly.."

"I...I do, Angelica. I really do. What do I need to do?"

"See that guy standing over there?" she pointed in Sands' direction..

"Yeah, he's hot! Who is he?"

Angelica had to grin.. "That's CIA Agent Sands. We are going to go over there and you need to tell him where your parents are and how we can get in touch with them. He and the LAPD are probably going to want to ask you a few questions too. Don't be afraid, they only want to help you.."


Carly was soon reunited with her parents and was set to get the help she needed to get off of cocaine and counseling. Not a single person dead, now that was first where they were concerned. But in this case, it was better to see justice done. Santino wouldn't get out of prison for a long, long time. Sands walked to Angelica and pulled her close for a kiss...

"You know, you're pretty damn good at this under cover stuff, sugarbutt... " he grinned.

"I'm glad you think so, because I liked helping get rid of that Santino bastard.." she answered.

That started Sands to thinking, but he knew that the Angency would never go for it. He just smiled and they made their way to the airport and home.

The next night....


Angelica wished to god she hadn't bought Sands that damned Wii. Ever since they had gotten home and bough the blasted thing, it was all he seemed to want to do. Sometimes she had to call him three times before he answered her. She watched as he stood in batting stance, playing a baseball game. Suddenly, a wicked grin spread across her face. Hooking up some Prince on the stereo, she turned it up and began dancing. Making her way over to where he was, she got between him and the TV, shaking and rolling her hips and grinning...

"C'mon, babe....." was all he got out before she pushed him into the recliner., making him drop the Wii controller. She continued to dance as the song Cream blasted from the stereo. Sands watched as she ground her hips and licked her lips, looking at him heatedly. His body responded immediately when she stripped off her top. Reaching for her, she slapped away his hands "Ah, ah..baby...no touching..." she said teasingly. Off came the cutoff shorts and soon the panties. Fully naked,she danced just out of his reach, not letting him touch her in any way. Sands groaned. Dear god the woman was driving him insane!

"Oh, now you're playing dirty... Jesus woman, kill me, why don't you..." He bit his lip as he watched her. His hardness strained against his boxers.

"If you want some of this, doll...you're going to have to catch me! " and with that, she laughed wildly and broke into a run.


Sands jumped up from the chair and chased her around the pool table and all over the den, then she raced upstairs. Removing his shirt as he ran, he chased her up the stairs. Angelica ran faster, laughing. Suddenly, without warning, she found herself pinned against the hall wall. Not allowing her to try and escape, Sands kissed her savagely, holding her wrists tight above her head with one hand. Angelica couldn't squirm away, not that she wanted to. With his other hand, he found the heat of her, rubbing her clit hard with his thumb as two fingers plunged into her wetness, pumping hard. She moaned into his mouth and he broke the kiss, both of them panting..

"That what you want, sugarbutt? Or is it that you want me to fuck you until you can't see straight?" he said as his mouth began to attack her nipples, licking and sucking with wild abandon, his fingers still pumping hard.

"Oh..ohhh..."she panted..." Yes, that's what I want Sands..fuck me ..right here, right now..." She moaned as she brought one of her legs up around his waist.

Sands grinned wickedly and pulled his hand from her heat, pushing down his boxers and freeing his hard cock. He then thrust up into her forcefully, making her nearly scream from the pleasure of it. Pulling her other leg up around his waist, he kept his hold on her wrists and began to pound her hard. Angelica welcomed it, straining and pushing against him as much as she could, taking him as deep as possible. Moans and cries of pleasure filled the hallway as they ground hard against each other. Sands kissed her hard again as he found that spot inside her and kept pressure there, his thrusts hard and passionate. Angelica screamed against his mouth as her body arched and shuddered. Ecstasy was on its way. Finally succumbing to the wildness and heat of their lovemaking, they came together, moaning each others names and slowly sliding to the floor in an exhausted heap. Sands kissed her again, softly this time, and held her there as their hearts slowed down and their breathing became regular. He then took her ring off his pinky and placed it back on her finger..

"Mine.." he whispered, kissing her. And she was his...forever.


Epilogue:


Angelica was nervous as she walked hand in hand with Sands up to the door of the CIA Headquarters in Washington, DC. They'd been summoned there, following the Santino bust. Angelica had half expected Sands would have to go alone again, and was surprised that they wanted to see her too. She had no idea what to expect. Walking into the door, they went directly to the superior officer's office.

"Sands..and this must be Angelica.. have a seat, you two.." Joe Milano smiled as the two sat down. " First of all I want to compliment the two of you on getting the job done with no fatalities. I know that must have been hard for you, Sands.." he looked as Sands knowingly. Sands just shot him an amused grin.

"So what's this all about, Joe, and what does it have to do with Angelica?" Sands said, cutting to the chase.


"Well, we've come to a decision. Angelica has been trained well from what we have found out. Not only field training with you, but we've checked her licenses and see that she's expertly trained in other areas too. With a few extra courses, I'd say she could be a full agent in about 3 month's time. So, what I am saying, is that we are willing to overlook the fact that you went against us, Sands, and used her under cover anyway, and make her a full CIA agent, if she wishes.." He looked to Angelica for her answer.

"I'd love to join the force, but tell me this..you all ready have Sands and Janie..can you handle three bad ass agents?" she grinned. Sands had to laugh at that one.

"We'll do just fine, I am sure, "Joe chuckled.

Three months later..
