Kasey with a K.
Chapter 32
Maxieplus
My glass cabinet had been fixed and we three spent the night loading it up again, Sam had a special surprise for me a wonderful deco perfume bottle he and Kasey had found in the shops, it took pride of place and he looked at it many times while he and I watched tv.
"It is beautiful son, I love it to death and I am so proud of you."
"Daddy picked it, and I said okay that you would like it."
"I do and you both did very well everything looks normal again."
"Will the bad man come back daddy?"
"No, he will never come back son. Don't even think about him again, and if you come across any more bad people you tell daddy or me and we will deal with it."
"Okay, daddy." He snuggled, I know he had one eye on the bottle and I thought maybe he might like it by his bedside. Kasey was sitting at the table doing his work, Lloyds case went nowhere. They thought with his condition he wouldn't be able to stand trial anyway so the case was closed. His wife Helen received compensation, and the last report was she and the children are doing very well.
"Got them," Kasey yelled.
"Another case solved Kasey?"
"Yes Adam, got the buggers I can wrap it up now. This one is fifteen years ago I can pass it onto the prosecutors and they will probably reopen the case"
He turned the computer off and came to join us on the couch. Sam moved from my lap to his he got a small tickle from his dad.
"So you like what we bought you?"
"I love it very much, thank you both. I think your son likes it too, Maybe for the moment I might put a little of my aftershave in it and he can look after it for me." Sam's head lifted and he was trying to suppress a smile.
"Well, maybe your son would like to pick one of his very own, we might go shopping tomorrow."
"That would be awesome daddy, then we both have one."
I can see where this is going, he's going to inherit my love for everything vintage.
"Did you make that appointment for our suits?"
"Yes baby, three days, and then this one gets his first dress suit. I think he will look so very handsome in it." Sam giggled, I don't think he knows what a suit is but he has to have one for Eva and Wilson's wedding. He and Billy are ring bearers, I will show him what they look like on the computer tomorrow.
Eva's dress is beautiful, I had the chance to see it when I went to the other salon to talk business with Trish. It's so sparkly she will look like a fairy princess in it, she has already shown us her jewelry and has booked Marko to do her hair, one day soon he will go with her to the other salon and she will show him with the dress on, so he has an idea of what he is working with.
I was wanting to get back there soon because I wanted to see the new boys in action. Trish said, they haven't stopped since they arrived and the place is more like a large party than a salon. She had shown me the local newspapers write up on the shop, it was very good and had named the salon the one stop shop for everything you desire. Of course Codys shop was the featured story line.
Kasey has decided he will come with me for some unknown reason, it will be interesting to see what he thinks of the place. I had told him the figures were through the roof, Trish is doing a wonderful job over there.
The next hurdle to jump is Kaseys bravery medal, it has got to the stage where the prime minister has ordered he accept it without question, so he is going to have a small ceremony and dad will be the one to pin it on him at the fed building up the road, so not far for us to go.
That will be happening in a few days, hes not happy about it but he will go through with it. His son on the other hand is very proud of his dad and cant wait to see the pinning ceremony, he and Billy will have another sleepover that night.
To counteract any loose ends from our home invasion Kase had better security installed in the apartment and a monitor in his office rolls through the cameras in every room, recording any movement. We showed Sam how it all worked and he also received his own phone, it sits by his bed and he has instructions not to take it to preschool because its for emergencies only. I did think that it should be with him everywhere he goes but Kase reassured me he was being watched in one way or other but he didn't explain by what means.
"So you will start on another cold case or have a break?"
"A new one Adam, I have to keep my brain occupied."
"I could do that for you." I grinned.
"You already do, but it's for the out-of-bed hours I need a distraction." he grinned back and I wondered if he would wear his speedos tonight.
The next day we walked our son to pre-school and hugged him goodbye then Kasey wanted to go to work and hand in his report and I wanted to do some work in the salon. He dragged me inside and kissed me deeply, we got a round of applause off the staff, then he left saying he will pick me up on the way through.
Eva handed me an email, it was from Janice in Melbourne, they have opened the new shop there and she sent the first week's daily figures to my salon. It will pick up soon and I have no doubt she and Trev will make it their own. They have already hired staff and have two more at the ready if they need them. The shop is a mirror image of this one, they did very well.
Wilson and Eva's day will be in a few weeks, and the excitement at all salons is building. He told her he wanted to wear his military regalia, I think they just had their first fight after that comment. A nice black dinner suit was finally agreed on as Wilson smirked at me, I think he was just kidding her.
She's a beautiful woman and I agreed with her if she's going to all that trouble to look gorgeous then he should match her, end of.
I could hear nona Zena laughing, she was at Marko's station getting a set, and when I walked over she shut up.
"Good morning Mr. Adam, how are things with you today?"
"Very good nona, and you?'
"I am a little sore this morning, my husband Luca took a viagra pill last night and I didn't get much sleep at all."
"I don't want to know." I waved my hand.
"But Mr, Adam.........."
I walked away and yelled.
"Lalalalala not listening." I made coffee and sat with my phone just paging through some photos I took last night, I could hear the giggling still coming from Marko's area.
I walked into the new storeroom and Tim was setting yet another wig. He smiled and I sat with him grabbing a wig head as I went.
"Up into a Grace Kelly fold Adam for that one." Easily done.
"So how is married life?'
"My god, I never thought it could get any better Adam, he's perfect for me." He blushed.
"Good, the commander is quite hot, have you settled in?"
"Yes, he doesn't let me do much at home he said I work too hard as it is."
"No raises Tim, sorry, you can stop right there." He made a sad face.
We talked and I finished the wig I was doing and grabbed the next one, Zena had walked in and was staring at me.
"Yes, what is it now?" I looked sideways at her.
"I was just going to say I am looking forward to your man's ceremony, Luca has been invited to attend and I will be his escort."
"As you should be Zena," I was pleased she and some of my friends will be there. She walked over and started playing with the wig I slapped her hand.
"Mr. Adam, can I ask you something?"
"If you must."
"Do you think if I talk to the commander he might be up for the group party I am planning?"
All I heard was Tim screaming at her, I picked the wig off the floor and kept my face unreadable. I didn't have to say anything as Tim was already escorting her out the back door. He came back laughing and then he blamed me for encouraging her. I wasn't going to take that sort of treatment so I left to go see what Kasey was up to. Unfortunately, whenever Zena is in the salon, she kind of gets me going a bit, so this is one of those times I need my husband for a minute or two. I walked up the street a couple of doors, caught the lift up, and knocked on Kasey's door.
I heard a rustling sound then a....
"Come in." I think I have just caught my husband in the act because his face was red.
"You weren't having sex with yourself were you?"
He dropped his pants and I dropped to the floor.
"Let's go buy our son a perfume bottle, are you nearly finished here?"
"No, I still have to see my boss about this cold case."
"Okay, I might go for a walk then."
"Get a bottle of your aftershave to put in it, he prefers yours."
"I will look first and then you can choose, and I have a spare bottle of aftershave in the cupboard."
"Done then." He kissed me I groped him.
As I left my phone rang, it was mum, so I sat on a bench and talked to her about coming over to spend the Friday night with us. Kasey's wont be a big affair, but it's convenient for mum and dad to stay the night, the ceremony starts Saturday at lunchtime. Sam gets a bed mate and mum gets a good blow and set. I walked on to the alleyways and at the third shop, I found what I needed it was perfect, so I bought it on the spot. Back at the salon I sat with Tim again and helped him with the wigs, we breezed through them, and then it was time for Kasey to call in so we can go get our Sammy.
He talked all the way home about his day, he was excited to get home and see if there are any new cartoons on the tv, and to do his homework.
"Did your boss do anything with the case?"
"Yes they are going to reopen it, the evidence is solid and the woman will be reprimanded."
"Woman?"
"Yes, she was hitting on the new female recruits and they complained, unfortunately, she had talked her way out of it. The complainants were told they imagined it but one of them had a small video she had taken, it was lost in all the evidence. I managed to find it hidden away, it had been placed into a different file."
"Maybe it will be too long ago Kasey."
"It is, but she will be held accountable by the military and it will go on her record."
"And the other ladies?"
"They will be informed and duly compensated."
"Well done." I kissed him.
We bought a bottle of wine and then went upstairs.
"Mum and dad are staying Friday night it's convenient for them Kase."
He groaned, then nodded his agreement. He doesn't want this but it is out of his hands.
I opened the wine and poured us both a glass then I went to fill up Sam's perfume bottle. When I came out again I slipped it to Kasey and told him to surprise him.
"Have you got homework baby?"
"Yes, daddy."
"Well don't you think you should do it before you settle in?"
He groaned and started over to the table.
"Wow!" He spotted the bottle.
"It's for you son."
"Is it, is it really for me?"
"Yes, son for being the best kid in the world."
"It's like daddies, I love it."
He had to have a smell and his smile didn't leave until he went to bed, he placed it on his bedside table before he got into bed, the rest of the night it was either on the family table or the coffee table.
I kissed him goodnight and said.
"Do you like it?"
"I love it daddy it is beautiful."
Kasey then came in and almost asked the same question, our son's smile stopped because his poppa was going to read his story to him he had to concentrate, but he kept one eye on his bottle.
I crawled into bed after I wiped the kitchen down and closed up. Once again I was on my own and deemed that Kasey had gone to sleep along with our son, I was too tired to move so I closed my eyes.
He crawled in at some ungodly hour and I was dragged over to his side and cuddled, it was the humping that kept me awake, maybe he is having a dirty dream.
Sam was up when I went out and I kissed his head and said good morning, no response today so I suppose he's captured by the cartoon playing. I made coffee and took it to Kasey I nearly dropped it because he was splayed out on the bed naked, his legs wide apart.
"Just stretching Adam."
"Sure you were, if you think I'm going to jump you think again, wait until I put this coffee down first." I did, then I jumped him.
Everything has settled down again and even when I go to the fed building I get smiles and greetings, a lot different than a few months back I can tell you. Kasey was fully out but you would never know he's the type that goes undetected by even the queens, their radar doesn't work on him.
Billy screamed Sam screamed back then they sat on the sofa and planned their night. I kissed mum and hugged dad, I had been going through some of Sam's good clothes for tomorrow, I needed to iron them but couldn't choose.
"What are you doing son?"
"Getting clothes for Sam ready, Kaseys right he has dry cleaned uniforms coming out of his ass, I'm okay, but Sam is a worry I should have bought him a new outfit."
"Don't stress about it son, your dad and Kasey have organized clothes for them." I looked at Kasey then dad, why am I getting in a fit over Sam's clothes then?
"What are you doing?" I looked at dad.
He whispered.
"New uniforms, it's a treat from the military stores." Then I looked at Kasey.
"So why were you watching me sort out his clothes then?"
"I like watching you Adam with an A." He chuckled I threw Sam's clothes back into his room.
"What are you wearing mum?"
"Just an old dress I had in the cupboard."
"We better go shopping then."
"It's vintage."
"Give me a look." She's got good taste and I wanted to see it.
After gushing over mums outfit we started to make coffee she will look great in that Dior woolen suit. I already have a hairstyle in mind.
I also have to trim Sam's curls and it looks like Billy needs one also. Kasey doesn't because I keep a keen eye on his hair and dad is full-on military four shaves of the clippers and he's done. I fussed over mums hair for a bit then she made me sit down, I looked at her and said.
"I just want everything to be right that's all." I didn't want to admit that I was excited to see Kasey get his bravery medal. I wanted everyone to look their best.
Sam took Billy into the bedroom when their cartoon finished, he wanted to show him his perfume bottle. That started a full-on begging session with mum, can she buy him one, it is beautiful, can I have one? Dad was laughing and I got up and went to our bedroom, I got Billy's present out of the wardrobe and handed it to him.
"It's beautiful Stevie, I love it thank you, look mummy, daddy, look what I got."
"I figured he would want one, so why buy one, when the discount on two is bigger." I smiled and I don't know whether dad was impressed but he was laughing.
Sam ran back to the bedroom and got his, then they both sat them on the coffee table to watch them.
"What have we planned for dinner Stevie?" She smiled.
"Downstairs mum, it's easier."
"Good, no washing up then."
"What are you working on Kasey?" Dad asked.
"A new case general,"
Dad waited for Kasey to elaborate but he didn't say anything else he even closed his laptop down.
"Military stuff?"
"Yes, highly sensitive material general. I can't discuss it."
"You should run for parliament, go clean up the rot that's been festering in there for years."
"I will think about it." Kase giggled and there was no way I would let him do that, too many idiots in government he would get swallowed up because of his good nature.
"Come on boys dinner time." I think mums hungry.
The kids were herded towards the lift and we all went downstairs.
A table in a corner was found and the tv was turned onto the cartoon channel. Like Kasey, they already knew what they were eating, spaghetti, and Kase will have a steak sandwich. I ordered the same and so did dad, mum will have the lamb shanks tonight.
We talked about work and the kid's schooling and dad talked mainly about Kasey's work. I don't mind him doing that but occasionally it would be nice to keep our time together to a family conversation, and Kasey was unsettled with some of dads questions. Eventually, dad calmed down when he knew he wasn't going to get any straight answers. But dad being dad after a great dinner said.
"I believe those children you rescued have been all tested now Major, there are some very interesting results I'm hearing."
"General, can I see you outside?"
"Sure son." They both got up and this is one of the rare times Kasey's face was beetroot red, mum looked at me and I blushed.
"He's gone too far, mum." I looked down at my empty plate.
"I will talk to him again son, sometimes he forgets who is listening in on his conversations."
"Mum, I can guess who the children are, and maybe what the tests are for, but Kasey hasn't said anything to me as yet. Mum, I would much rather not know my life is wonderful now and I don't want Kasey to be going back to Iraq, or be involved with ongoing problems."
"I get it son, and I will talk to your father, sometimes he listens, now who is for some ice cream?" That got the boy's attention immediately and they turned around and stared at mum.
"Chocolate strawberry or plain?"
They said chocolate with sprinkles, so we ordered up big. When dad came back his face was red and Kasey winked at me. I guess he read him the riot act about secrets in the military,
I cleared my throat and started tucking serviettes into the boy's t-shirts, they drip a lot and this will make my life so much easier.
Everything was eaten even dishes were licked, I signed the bill and will pay my account on Sunday, then we start all over again with a clean slate. My bill from the restaurant has grown somewhat, Kasey is always using it for wine or treats for himself and Sam. I don't mind at all because they are my much-loved family. We went up in the lift everyone as being quiet except the kids. I put the coffee on, and I also grabbed a few cream cakes to have with it. The argument started not long after the kids were put to bed. Kasey steered dad outside and they were going at it one on one.
"I'm tired mum, I think I will go to bed."
"Me to son, have a great sleep." She kissed my forehead, it was nice and loving, then I looked at my man and father then turned the kitchen light off, they maybe will get the hint that it's late.
Five minutes later Kasey was relieving himself in the bathroom and dad poked his head in and said goodnight to me.
He was all smiles when he came to bed, there are signs I can read with Kasey. If he's smiling he wants sex, if he's forcing his smile then something is up. Tonight he was forcing it and I won't ask him I will just try to go to sleep.
"Sorry." He whispered in my ear.
"I understand, he shouldn't be interfering in your work."
"He's testing me constantly, for what purpose I don't understand."
"Testing you?"
"It's all about trust Adam, he feels he has to test my loyalty to the military every time he sees me."
"Your record should be good enough for him."
"He has plans Adam, big plans and I'm not sure I want to go along with them."
"What plans?"
"I think he wants to give me a priority password to all the top secret records, the rescued kids are a teaser. I have no idea what happened after I left, everything to do with Sam's case is top secret. He's baiting me with the other kids. Quite frankly, Adam, he shouldn't be saying anything. Those records and many others are top secret for a very good reason."
"Do you think they reveal Sam's mum, or father, or even a sibling?"
"I don't know, but I told him to stop doing it in front of my family, it means if there's a sibling I will feel compelled to find him or her. That involves two very precious people in my life, the consequences might be disastrous."
"How come?"
"The tests would be DNA related, I knew they were going to do them but had no way of accessing the results. If Sam's mum or dad have been found things might change for the worse around here, he may have to go back, and I don't want that to happen. The general doesn't think of things like that." My stomach turned, I will have to tell dad to stay out of it then. I wrestled with the consequences for the next hour, Sam's welfare is paramount. If there is a family member, they can't know what happened to him otherwise all sorts of problems will arise. It was the uncertainties that were running through my head.
I went to the toilet and then slipped back into bed. Kasey's arm went around my chest and he pulled me closer.
"Get some sleep Adam with an a." I forced myself to do what he ordered.
The morning was perfect, and we decided to eat outside where the kids could run around a bit. Dad placed two bags on the kitchen bench and winked at me.
"Their new uniforms."
"Great I'm going to be surrounded by camouflage today."
"No, uniforms, one the same as mine and one like Kaseys, the cap is cute." I smiled because Sam will like that and hopefully Billy will also, he loves his daddy, but when it comes to his hair length he loves me.
Between mum and me we organized something to eat, well it was more than something, it was a feast. I had specially bought heaps of food because dad and Kasey eat so much. The kids were fed first and I didn't hear any arguments between the men, but I did catch dad smiling to himself, he is definitely up to something.
Mum had showered and washed her hair so I sat her at the outside table and with my brush and dryer I shaped it, teased it, and sprayed it, much to the delight of the young onlookers. She looked beautiful when she went to change into her vintage suit. She almost looked like Jacky Kennedy and I think my dad had plans for a fun night if his groaning is any indication.
Kasey went to change and mum and I dressed the boys. They looked adorable and the excitement was building as Sam's smile and squeals were heard from every room in the apartment, they were picked up by their daddies and many photos were taken.
It was my turn, just black hipster jeans, and a white shirt today, I had purchased an old leather jacket at a thrift shop that kinda made me look like someone out of an old biker movie. More photos and bum rubs by Kasey were gratefully accepted. When Eva, Wilson, Trish, and Evans came up the girls fussed with mum's hair then Billies and Sams, like I didn't do a good job in the first place. Both men were in full military uniforms the girls were dressed to the nines in Cody Mitchell gear. Many more photos and dad got a call.
The mover was there to take us the five hundred meters to the fed building where the ceremony and reception would be held.
I was turning everything off when Kasey attacked me, just as I threw the bedclothes up he pounced.
"I want to stay home with you."
"You can't, you have a medal to collect, maybe we can slip into your office for a moment."
"Not today Adam, I want full bed love-making."
"Try not to think about it Kase, your crotch is bulging already."
I jumped off the bed giving him a good view of my crack, another tip from Cody, he said it works every time. Kasey chased me to the lift where everyone was waiting, Trish rolled her eyes and Eva grunted.
We all got into the military bus for the short trip to the fed building, dad had been having a power talk with Wilson, I think he just wants to catch up on his studies. Wilson is either at Uni or like Kasey he's got his head stuck in a computer. As I said before he's already doing design work for the military and some private work, unfortunately, Evans is still leading his patrol into government buildings and the airport.
There were many familiar faces in the reception rooms, a standout was nona Zena and her handsome husband, which she delighted in teasing me by lifting his suit jacket tail to give me a good view of his rounded ass. I rolled my eyes then looked at a very nervous Kasey, the proceedings were starting and the kids settled after many more photos but not from us, from visiting newspapers.
When dad appeared the place went silent, then men and women were standing to attention in perfect unison.
He welcomed everyone and put his men at ease, I noted the kids relaxing then I heard.
"Lieutenants Sam Kasey and William Sutton please come forward. Mum nudged Billy and whispered.
"That's you." He looked up and then he followed Sam to the dais. Apparently, they are assisting the general today and I think they both just got a new title.
He made them stand by a table and then he started his speech, it was a military affair, no heartfelt comments no tears just the facts, then a rundown of Kasey's bravery in the case of rescuing his fellow men and children from what was described as the hottest spot in Iraq.
He made Kasey stand to attention and Sam handed the medal to dad then dad pinned it on Kasey's lapel next to his other one. They saluted and dad made Kasey stand at attention instead of easing him. Billy had another box to hand his dad.
"Congratulations Lieutenant Colonel." Dad pinned another medal on Kasey. His face was beetroot I could feel Kasey's anger from where I sat, I looked sideways at mum and said.
"Whoops."
"I will talk to him." She said.
"Make sure you do mum." That was an order.
When dad told everyone to stand at ease Sam jumped up and kissed his dad, who by now had that false smile on his face. Billy wasn't to be left out so Kasey swept him up also the cameras went off and I doubt whether my husband is going to be very photogenic today.
Handshakes, hugs, and a few tears from me saw us all back in the reception room, where cakes and sandwiches were being served. Kasey was by my side within seconds, he was so pissed off that he barely said a thing. If it wasn't for his training he would have blown his stack.
Wilson and Evans came over, they saluted then shook his hand. Kasey pulled them both into the entrance and the last I saw of them they were standing by the lift.
I stayed for another hour hoping they would come back but decided they have found a pub somewhere to have a drink. It was a lonely trip home, I insisted Sam and I walk, I will take him for a milkshake and I will have a wine myself. Mum and dad will take Billy back to the apartment and hopefully, they will be gone by the time I get back. I didn't want any more awkwardness and mum said they will head home as soon as she gathers up their things.
Sam was a bit concerned Kasey wasn't with us, I told him he had business to attend to and will be home later on. He still sat in the cafe looking around for him. I had no idea where they had gone.
Eventually, we were at the lift I had told Sam that Billy had to go home so we will be on our own until papa comes back.
The noise was at a fever pitch, Billy was screaming and mum was trying to drag Kasey off dad. Sam started screaming and he ran to his room.
"Stop it, just stop it, your not in the bar now." Kasey let dad go and with one swoop his bulky frame stood upright, dad followed.
"I can have you court marshalled for that soldier." Dad was pissed.
"But you fucking won't. I want your ass out of my home, and until you can behave yourself you are no longer welcomed here. Are we quite clear?" I said through gritted teeth.
Dad looked me up and down and then mum.
"Come on mother let's go home."
I picked Billy up and kissed him goodbye he had been crying which isn't nice. Then I went to find my son while Kasey slammed the balcony door behind himself. He was under the bed sobbing his heart out, I took a pillow and laid on the floor then started calming him down, he eventually relaxed on my shoulder as I told him a few lies so he didn't think this was a normal thing for his dad to do. He was tired and fell off to sleep, so I placed him in his bed after taking his little boots off.
I then went to the fridge and opened a wine and grabbed two glasses.
Kasey was sitting on the lounger and I slipped in behind him. Pulling him back I poured our drinks then I kissed his neck.
"I want you to calm down, not for me but your son, you scared him."
"Is he okay?'
"Yes he's napping I told him some silly lies I think he believes me."
"He shouldn't have done it Adam, he shouldn't have promoted me, it was not necessary and I certainly don't deserve it."
"You do, but we will leave that for another conversation." I kissed him again.
I played with his nipples and then the ripped shirt he was still wearing I ripped even further because I wanted to fondle his whole chest, and in doing that it will calm him down some more.
His head flopped back and his breathing became regulated.
"Do you think there may be a reason he promoted you Kasey?"
"With your father there's always a reason, with my new status I get those codes whether I like it or not."
"Then he wants you to have them for a reason."
"He's trying to control me Adam, he wants me to do his dirty work for him."
"What dirty work would that be Kase?" I kissed his neck again and then I rubbed his six-pack.
"I don't know yet but I aim to find out and when I do I will take him down."
"How can I help you?"
"By being here with me, there's nothing else for you to do. I am now under his full command and because I have signed for another six years I have to do his bidding."
"You have a watertight contract to do legal work only, but I can talk to him."
"I can deck him and get a discharge, then I can do what I want."
"You will also be thrown in the brig."
"I know, I will miss you and Sam."
"There is that clause that was added to my contract, I have full control of my investigations for legal purposes, basically I do not answer to anyone except a court of law."
"So what does that mean for you?"
"I can tie myself up with court cases until he gets the message."
"He will get the message Kase, sooner than you think." I have plans of my own.
I poured another drink then I undid Kasey's zipper, he took my hand and said.
"Not now, later in bed, I want you to be involved."
"Okay, later it is." I let go of his dick and tucked it back into his pants.
"I didn't say you couldn't play with it, just not have sex at this time." I was happy and pulled it out again, he nestled in further, and in a few moments, he was fast asleep.
I sipped on my wine and will ring mum, later on, she may have found out what his plans for Kasey were, but for now, I am basking in my Kasey's warmth.
