“You’ve lost. Take what little pride you have left and leave,” Darryl softly intoned, the threat perceptible in his voice.

“I’ll call the cops! I’ll have you all arrested! Allee will be–”

“For fuck’s sake, dude, you’ve lost!” Noah growled at Stuart. “You’ve lost the love and devotion of a wonderful woman, you’ve lost your dignity, and you’ve lost this fight. Give it up already.”

“Why should I listen to a loser like you–”

“Because I’m better than you. I don’t have to resort to violence to get my point across. You’re the one who tried throwing a punch. I simply deflected. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Allee, I would’ve loved to have taken you into a dark alley, beaten the ever-loving shit out of you, and left you in the hospital with a feeding tube stuck down your throat and no teeth left in your mouth. I am not usually a violent person, but I would have made an exception for you. However, Allee asked me not to stoop to your level. She doesn’t like violence, and she hates the thought that I’m even here with you because she knows just how low and pathetic you are.”

Noah stepped over the still-prone Stuart and started walking back to Andre’s truck.

Darryl dumped the remaining pictures he held on Stuart’s chest with a muttered, “Happy reading,” following Noah back down the walkway.

Andre glared at Stuart and shook his head. “We’ll be watching to make sure you leave tonight. You don’t want us to come back.” He then turned and walked away, with Sammy, still filming, walking behind him.

Noah shook his arms out as they reached the car, trying to dispel the adrenaline pumping through his body. His heart was pounding, and he took several deep breaths to steady himself. He looked up as the others began to climb into the cab of the Triton.

“Do you think that'll work? Do you think he’ll leave?” Sammy queried softly from where he sat in the rear beside Noah. Darryl looked back at him and then at Noah from the front passenger seat.

“Yes, I do. His type is a coward at heart. Once he goes back into his room and has a good look at what we left him, he’ll realise we’ve got him over a barrel and will ream him a new arsehole if he deviates from what we’ve instructed. Bloodnok’s keeping an eye on the cameras here, and he can let us know as soon as Stuart leaves. We’ll be able to trace him back to his little fiefdom, so don’t worry about that. Now, shall we get going and pick up our girls? I’m petrified of what Tania might do to the others if we leave her unsupervised for too long.”

All four men laughed at this, as they knew just how enthusiastic Tania got when left with hair dye, waxing strips, and nail polish.

Allee nuzzled into Noah’s chest, her fingers lightly tracing over his musculature, a purring Piddle at their feet. He and the others had arrived back earlier that afternoon.

“It’s dealt with,” he’d said, “forget about him now.”

Allee and Noah had then left and spent the evening with his parents, who had gushed over Piddle before taking possession of the spoiled cat and heading back to Noah’s house. Allee wanted to give it another few days before bringing Piddle home with her, just in case Stuart decided to hole up at another hotel rather than leave Brisbane.

They had arrived back, and within the space of ten minutes, had fed the cat, rushed through a shower, and fallen into Noah’s bed, his head wedged between Allee’s thighs. Now, flushed and sated from the multiple orgasms Noah had wrung from her, Allee felt her soul settle for the first time in years.

It was over. Stuart was gone, and now she could begin to truly live her life.

Epilogue

Allee held her arms above her head, stretching out her back and shoulders. It had been an exhausting weekend so far, unusually hot and humid for late November, and she was ready to crawl into the spa tub and let the jets pummel her sore muscles. Darryl and Tania had already offered to host a barbie to close out the weekend, and Allee was looking forward to relaxing in their pool.

Arms snaked around her waist from behind, and she relaxed her stretch, sagging back into Noah’s body.

“I hurt, Noah,” Allee whined. “I didn’t hurt this much when I moved into my old place. Why do I hurt so much now?”

“It’s because you refused to disassemble most of the furniture you got flat-packed, so had to help us with the heavy lifting. It’s okay. I promise I’ll give you a massage later to make you feel better.” Allee turned, a broad smile on her face, her palms sliding over Noah’s shoulders and up into his hair. He grinned back at her before swooping down and pecking a playful kiss on her mouth. “C’mon, sweetheart, we’ve got a couple of hours before we need to be over at Darryl and Tania’s, let’s get you in the tub so you don’t stiffen up.”

Allee giggled, her hand drifting down Noah’s body, lightly tracing over his shorts where his hardening cock was beginning to tent out.

“I don’t think I’m going to be the one who has problems with a stiffy, do you?”

Noah chuckled as he goosed her bottom before turning and leading her through the front door. No longer was the room behind it empty. Instead, it had been turned into an amazing space for entertaining. Allee’s two couches, the one Stuart shredded having been repaired and enclosed in a vibrant red cover matching her newer one, sat at right angles, with Allee’s entertainment unit, television, and coffee table arranged between them. Noah’s old fridge and freezer were in the back corner, as was a benchtop with his old microwave, kettle, toaster, and a small sink at one end. Empty cupboards hung above and below the bench, with his old dishwasher installed as well.

Having already started renovating the downstairs area into a perfect entertaining space, Noah had added a door to the downstairs bathroom through the laundry. He had managed to rearrange his office enough to fit Allee’s desk and chair inside, with the rest of her office and extra bedroom furniture stored in the double garage. The plan was to convert the attached garage into a ‘His and Hers’ office. Once that was complete, his office would turn into a third bedroom. Allee’s old bed and bedroom furniture were upstairs in the empty room, her dining table and chairs in that open space next to the kitchen, her appliances installed and ready to use. There were boxes containing her kitchenware that they needed to sort through. Still, Noah had already indicated that he’d be happy replacing most of his things with hers, as hers was newer and of better quality. Allee thought they should just move his to be used downstairs whenever they wanted to hang out with their friends.

He led Allee upstairs to the bathroom, where she discovered he’d already filled the massive spa, and it was gently bubbling away. He gently stripped her of her clothing and helped her into the bath before quickly stripping his own clothes, then settled behind her, massaging over her shoulders and up her neck, following the deep strokes with light kisses. Allee sighed with pleasure, her muscles becoming like jelly under his ministrations.

“Noah, love, if you keep doing that, I’m never gonna be able to get out of this bath. I don’t think I’d mind, but I’m pretty sure Tania will be pissed if I don’t show up with the dessert I promised.”

Noah chuckled and pressed one last kiss to Allee’s nape before running his hand down her arms and enclosing her in a loose embrace.

“I know better than to get between that woman and a dessert, so I’ll behave, for now. Later though...I promise nothing!”
