#3 of Twilight Eros

And we come full circle to the beginning. I promise no more teasing. After this chapter there will be sex. Also this is the first appearance of the white rose from the thumbnail art. Random trivia for this chapter, the reason the rose is white is simply because white roses are my favorite flower. Nice and simple.

Chapter 3

Spec stood in the shower as the hot water ran over his body. The steam made things hard to see but it didn't matter as Spec knew where all his bath products were. Eventually he shut off the water and stepped out. Grabbing a towel he started patting his fur down before flopping down onto the bed. Rolling over onto his back he looks up and sighs.

"Cindy..."

He thought back at what he saw and heard in the break room. Cindy was masturbating while thinking of him. He didn't know how to process this as he found his hand moving down his body to his crotch. Closing his eyes he started to stroke himself. Slowly he started to grow erect as the image of Cindy replayed in his mind. He tried to picture what she looked like nude. This caused him to stroke faster as he bit his lower lip. Pre cum started to gather at his tip as he gripped the sheets with his free hand. He continued for several minutes before a thick stream of cum shot out of his cock. Panting as his head was spinning from climax he laid still for a bit. Once his head was clear he used the towel from earlier to clean up before tossing it aside. He lay back down on the bed and closed his eyes.

"I'll deal with this in the morning."

The next morning Spec was up and about as normal. The new shipment of magazines had arrived. Among them was the new Wolf Pack which Spec kept behind the counter to detour theft. The sound of the front door opening caused him to look up. Cindy had come in.

"Morning Spec. Here is the key back from last night."

"Thanks. I'm going to have to eventually make you copies."

Spec thought about lat night again and swallowed hard. He didn't know how to bring up what happened with out seeming like a pervert or creepy. He bit his lower lip as Cindy walked away to put up her belongings. Spec just buried his face into his palms. Eventually Cindy came back noticing Spec.

"You okay Spec? Are you still feeling sick from last night?"

"No... I just need a minute."

Spec cupped his hands together in front of his mouth thinking to himself.

"Just say it Spec. You aren't making it any easier by stalling."

Spec cleared his throat and looked at Cindy taking a deep breath.

"I'm sorry Cindy, but I saw what you were doing in the break room last night."

Cindy looked confused at first but quickly went wide eyed realizing what spec said.

"Oh my god, Spec I swear I can explain what I was doing! Please just give me a chance and"

"Easy Cindy, I'm not mad or anything."

He reached out with one hand placing it on her shoulder trying to calm her down as he talked.

"We will talk about it. Not right now because we have to get the store ready. But I promise we will sit down and clear everything up okay? Do you think you can still work today? If not I understand."

Cindy was breathing rapidly as she tried to catch her breath. She shook her head as she started to calm down.

"No I want to stay and work. Thank you. When do you want to talk about this?"

"Let's talk tonight okay? You can stay late and we will clear everything up. Sound good to you?"

Cindy nodded as she walked away to start the daily routine of setting up the store. The rest of the day was quiet as they took turns running the register and helping customers. Sure enough most of the sales were for the new magazines and Wolf Pack. Lunch was different for the first time since Cindy started. Normally eating together today they took it at separate times. Spec was starting to worry what was going to happen after the store closed. It was hard to tell what Cindy was thinking but she was not acting like her normal cheery self. Eventually closing time came and Spec and Cindy were alone.

The two sat in the break room. Cindy was nervous as she held her hands in her lap and looked down. Spec was looking away his fingers interlocked on the table. He shook his hands up and down tapping the tip of his pinkie on the table.

"So... I guess I'm just curious why you did it, and with a book?"

Cindy replied with a weak, almost whisper like response.

"I'm sorry but what did you say."

"I'm a bibliophilic."

Spec heard these words and looked up thinking for a moment processing what she said.

"You are attracted to books? Like sexually?"

Cindy nodded still looking down. She slowly started to look up at Spec. She is surprised to see that he seemed more curious then shocked.

"That doesn't bother you Spec?"

"Not really. I mean I've heard of this before but never thought I'd actually meet someone that was into it. It actually makes sense now. I mean the way you talked about and how you handled that book when we had that interview."

She was confused but a bit at ease now that Spec wasn't freaking out about her secret. She leaned forward a bit and continued to speak.

"So, you aren't mad at me?"

"No I'm not made. A bit shocked but that's it. I do have one question though."

Spec paused and swallowed hard and cleared his throat. In his mind the thought there was no turning back after asking this.

"Why did you call out my name while you were doing it?"

Cindy leaned back after that.

"You heard that part eh?"

Spec nodded with a sheepish grin. The tension grew just a bit at that moment.

"Well the thing is... Remember how Jon mentioned you thought I was attractive? Lets just say it isn't a one way street, if you get what I mean."

"Oh..."

Spec said his face getting hot now looking away. There was a moment of silence as both just looked away from each other. Cindy was the first to speak.

"So what do we do now?"

"Well I suggest you go home, get some sleep and I'll see you tomorrow. We can figure out what happens later."

"Wait. So you aren't mad or freaked out about this? Not even a little bit?"

He chuckled a bit and looked at Cindy with a smile.

"To be honest it's different but everyone has needs. They don't always make sense to everyone but as long as no one is being harmed it's not my place to judge."

Cindy was almost teary eyed as she stood up and gave Spec a peck on the cheek.

"Thank you for understanding. I owe you. Wait, I know. The shop is going to be closed day after tomorrow right? Let me make you dinner since we are going to close early okay?"

"No you don't need to do that Cindy its"

"I insist. Please let me make you dinner."

With a happy sigh he nodded.

"Okay you can make me dinner tomorrow.

"Good. Tomorrow after work I'm making us dinner. I'll see you then okay?"

Spec followed her out of the break room to the front of the store making sure to lock up after her. A wave of relief washed over him as he headed upstairs to lie down. He smiled as he spread his legs and arms out but then suddenly looked up realizing something.

"Where does she intend to cook dinner at?"

The next morning was normal. Spec woke up and grabbed a protein bar to have with his morning coffee. Downstairs in the store his paper work was waiting for him as usual. He unlocked the front door this time before making his way to the check out counter. Cindy wasn't there yet but he figured he would leave the front door unlocked so she could just walk in. Sure enough she came in about ten minutes later.

"Morning Spec."

"Morning."

He replied as he took a sip from his mug. He noticed Cindy was in very high spirits today as she took off her coat. She was wearing a light navy blue tee and her usual black work jeans. She didn't have her purse today. Instead she had a small back pack with her. Hanging her belongings in the break room she returns with her name tag that she wore on a lanyard around her neck.

"Spec, do you mind if I take my lunch to grab the stuff I need for dinner? And also maybe letting me off a little early to start cooking so we don't eat too late?"

"Sure but I forgot to ask you about that yesterday. Where did you plan on cooking?"

"Well I was kind of hoping I could cook here, in the apartment."

She paused realizing she never asked if it was okay or not.

"I'm sorry, I should have asked first. I don't even know if you have cook ware or anything."

"Don't worry I have cook ware. Pretty much anything you need. Well assuming you don't need a deep fryer or something super fancy like a food vac or an immersion circulator. I have pots, pans, dishes and the like."

"That will be fine. I'm not doing anything too fancy. But do you mind if I have a look at your kitchen and fridge? I don't want to buy too much and not have space or buy extra spices if you have them already you know?"

"Sure. I'll show you in a bit."

Spec went back to his paper work as Cindy just stood there for quiet. It took a moment for Spec to notice this.

"You want to see it now don't you?"

"Please?"

Cindy was grinning wide as Spec shook his head with a smirk. He waved for her to follow him as he took her to the apartment. It was a short stair climb to a hallway that also had a couple other doors and a small elevator that held maybe four people.

"I use these rooms for storage sometimes. I rarely use the elevator except to get things out of the basement on occasion. It's nice to have."

They reach the door to the apartment at the end of the hall. With a turn of the key Spec showed Cindy his home. It was nice but simple. Black couch and black TV with his video game system hooked up to it. A laptop on the coffee table with some graphic novel collections he liked to re-read regularly. There was a small white rose bush on a table near the window. They were blooming and smelled quiet sweet.

"Wow, those are beautiful Spec."

Cindy walked up to the roses, examining them and taking a quick sniff.

"Thank you. I love white roses. My sister got those for me for my last birthday."

"She sounds nice. I'd like to meet her one day."

Spec sighed as he leaned against a wall.

"Don't worry. You work with me long enough and you will meet her. Come on, the kitchen is this way."

Spec walked to an area separated by a counter top waving again for Cindy to follow. The kitchen was nice with mostly white appliances save the coffee pot and blender. The stove was gas powered as opposed to electric like most apartments. Cindy loved this.

"Thank goodness you have a gas stove. I mean I can use an electric one but it's just not the same."

"I know. I can never get the right temps with electric."

The two had a small chuckle as Spec went to the fridge and got a cheese stick to snack on.

"Help yourself to a snack or drink. Spices are on the rack to the right of the stove. Feel free to use anything in the fridge, and pots and pans are left of the stove."

Cindy looked around the kitchen quickly smiling as she was able to find everything she needed.

"This is great. I will only have to get a few things after all."

That's good. Let's get back downstairs and get the shop open. You can play out your cooking fantasy later after work."

"You wish."

Cindy pushed Spec forward with a laugh as they both headed down stairs to start the work day. Cindy closed the door behind her but left it unlocked so she could get back later after she went shopping.

The work day was slow as Spec expected. He wasn't all that hungry around lunch time.

"If you want to go shopping you can go now. I'll stay here. Just get me a drink or something okay?"

"Sure. I'll just grab my wallet and head out."

Cindy went to the break room and quickly returned wearing her jacket and backpack. She waved to Spec as she exited out the front door and walked down the street. Spec put his hand to his stomach as it growled a bit. He was starting to get hungry but wanted to wait to eat. The idea of not being able to enjoy Cindy's cooking because of a full stomach crossed his mind. He tried to keep busy to take his mind off his hunger but it was hard to do much. He had to stay behind the counter to check people out while Cindy was gone. It was starting to get surprisingly busy considering nothing new came out besides magazines. About a hour later Cindy returned carrying a green tote bag with a loaf of French bread sticking out of it. She walked up to Spec handing him a large cup.

"Got you a strawberry and pineapple protein shake. I also got you a Crimson Ram for later. Just let me put this stuff up and I'll be back down to help."

She made her way to the back and disappeared. Spec took a sip of the shake nodding in approval at the flavor. His stomach felt better with something in it. As he took a second sip he wondered how she knew he liked Crimson Ram. It was the only energy drink he could take that didn't make him feel like his heart was going to explode.

"Do you like the shake? I didn't know what flavors you liked so I took a wild guess."

Spec turned to look to Cindy while taking another sip. He held up his thumb showing his approval. She smiled as she clapped her hands together.

"I'll start cooking after we close up. It shouldn't take too long to prepare."

The store seemed to die down after Cindy took over the register. That was fine for Spec as he started cleaning up the shelves and picking up books left behind by customers who were browsing. The last couple of hours were met with only a few people asking about up coming titles or picking up the latest issue of something. At one point Cindy had to chase off a minor trying to get a copy of Wolf Pack. Spec got a good laugh out of the situation. Once the last customer of the night left Spec locked the front door.

"Alright, time to clean this place up and enjoy a two day weekend. Cindy if you want to go start cooking now I'll be fine down here. There isn't much left to do."

Cindy nodded as she put a stack of books down.

"Thanks Spec, see you upstairs."

Spec smiled as Cindy went up. He wondered what they would be having as he set up the store for the next business day. He had enough time to prep to the point that all that needed to be done the next work morning is display any new shipments. After nearly an hour he headed up and was met with the smell of garlic and butter. He had an idea of what dinner was going to be and he wasn't complaining. As soon as he stepped into the apartment the aroma of tomato sauce and the sound of sizzling fill the air. Looking over the kitchen counter he saw Cindy cooking away wearing his black apron.

"Hey Spec. Just take a seat and dinner will be ready in about ten, fifteen minutes."

"Sounds good, I'm looking forward to it."

Flopping down on the couch Spec noticed Cindy's jacket and backpack were in the apartment. It only stood out as they were not part of his normal surrounds but paid it little attention at the moment. His attention was diverted as Cindy came over handing Spec a glass of red wine.

"I hope I got a kind you like."

She quickly went back to the kitchen pouring a pot out into a strainer. Spec tilted his head with a shrug as he took a sniff of the wine before having a sip. To his surprise it was to his liking. Strong but sweet, it went down smooth with no after taste. It was rare for him to find a wine he liked.

"Thank you, this is really good. What kind of wine is this?"

"I can't remember at the moment but I got a full bottle. Drink up I'm almost done."

Spec took another sip and sat back. He felt his face getting warm as the alcohol started to flow through his body. The sounds of pots and running water could be heard from the kitchen as Cindy starts to clean up the cookware. Spec was nearly half finished with his glass as Cindy came over with a glass of her own. She was also balancing a serving bowl of salad on two plates stacked on top of each other.

"That is quite some balancing act there. You've had practice I take it."

Cindy smiled as she sat her glass down. She set the plates on the coffee table and served a home made caser salad. Offer Spec his plate he took it with a smile.

"Thank you Cindy."

"I hope you like it. This is the first time I've made it from scratch."

Spec tried his first bite and it was incredible. There was a unique tangy flavor that you didn't find from store bought dressing. Resisting the urge to wolf down his food the conversation was limited to Cindy receiving Spec's praise for her cooking. It made Cindy happy someone else was enjoying her cooking as they continued. The main course was homemade spaghetti with meat balls and garlic bread. It was exactly what Spec was expecting from the smells but the flavors were incredible. After having double helpings of both, Spec sat back on the couch with a sigh of satisfaction. Taking another ship from his second glass of wine he turned to Cindy.

"That was quite delicious. Thank you for making dinner for me."

"You are welcome. It's the very least I could do for you after being so understanding about last night."

He smiled at Cindy and chuckled a bit.

"Don't mention it. Hey, I don't suppose you made dessert did you?"

With a grin Cindy leaned on the back of the couch.

"As a matter of fact I did. But it needs to finish baking. Then it needs to cool."

As soon as she finished her sentence her phone's timer went off. She got up from the couch and headed to the kitchen to remove her cake from the oven. She returned with the bottle of wine filling both their glasses.

"That needs about 20 minutes to cool down. Hey Spec mind if I ask you something personal?"

She took a sip waiting for a response. Spec was mid sip when she asked.

"Sure, what would you like to know?"

"Was Jon serious when he said you think I'm attractive?"

Spec paused not expecting to hear that. He didn't know if it was because of the wine, or if it was because it was already out in the open but he responded with a smile.

"Yes, he was serious. I think you are very attractive."

She smiled as she swirled her glass of wine a bit.

"And you don't think the book thing is weird?"

"If it makes you happy and it doesn't hurt anyone, I think its fine."

She sat up right now smiling into his eyes. She sat her glass down and continued speaking.

"Thank you Spec. The truth is I think you are pretty damn handsome yourself. And I wanted to do more then just make you dinner for not freaking out about the book situation."

Spec swallowed hard trying to process what was happening. Cindy was now leaning against the couch with her arm, her head being held up by her hand. As she looked at him it started to sink in what was going to happen. She took the glass from Spec's hand and sat it down on the coffee table. She repositioned him to the middle of the couch before straddling his lap her breasts were pushed into his chest, inches from his face.

"So I have one more question for you."

Spec breathing was becoming rapid as he looked up into Cindy's eyes.

"And what would that be?"

"Are you ready big boy?"
