Click hereHe sprang from his chair, covered the distance to her in record time, and threw his arms around the startled woman, hugging her tight. She seemed to melt into him, and he sought out her mouth. The kiss was long, deep, passionate, and mutual in intensity. He crushed her to himself, their tongues dancing.
Finally, parting only slightly, he whispered desperately, "I missed you so much."
Rex came as close to crying as he had since he was twelve.
"Oh Rex, I missed you too," she wailed, pulling his head into another passionate kiss.
Helen then did a strange thing. She took his hand and put it on her breast, and squeezed.
Startled, Rex pulled it away, stuttering, "No, Helen?"
Angry, Helen pushed him roughly away.
"What's the matter? Aren't I good enough for you like that Wheaton bimbo?" she spat.
"Oh, Helen, you are better than she will ever be," he pleaded. "If anyone isn't any good, it's me."
Helen slapped the startled man.
"Don't you say that," she screeched. "You saved my life, and that bitch's life, and...and."
She broke down, weeping uncontrollably in his arms. Great stuttering sobs shook her body like convulsions. He clutched her like someone drowning holds a life ring. Her sobbing went on for some time until it subsided to sniffles.
Finally, somewhat under control, Helen looked into his eyes and said, "I love you, Rex."
"I love you too," he replied without hesitation.
"I know. That's why you pulled back just now," Helen whispered, "but I don't want you to pull back, Rex. I know that I am not your first. You were in the war, and..., well, I want you. I want you to be my first."
"And only," he replied, pulling her into another passionate embrace.
Enjoyable story with the wording painting some nice imagery along the way and the plot was very good for the theme. The writing was good but there were some little issues along the way that might have been improved with an edit or maybe an editor (like most of, unfortunately!). I liked the ending and give it 4.5 stars, rounded up. Thanks for writing and for participating in the challenge.
The ending was a bit of a fizzle. Agree with comments about there being too much description for a story of this genre. 4*
Written in Mickey S style. The name of PI was not my favorite for image of war wary veteran struggling to make a living in post war NYC. Good read. Keeop on writing
5-star story.
A bit too much description - after all the Mike Hammer books were very ...condensed.... ;^), but an excellent story nonetheless.
Newer author has started out well. Good writing for this site but far from saleable book quality. Keep practicing. Plot and characters seem reasonably believable.
No real reason for the name. Rex (king) sounds tough and Harrison seemed to go along with it. Maybe it was subliminal 🤷. Sorry it didn’t wow you. All I can do is keep trying. Thanks for commenting.👍
What a tangled web we weave... 🙄
Okay, the biggest question on my mind is why did you choose to name the main character Rex Harrison? 🤔 I hope that you realize that he was a real person, and a famous actor. Sir Reginald Carey "Rex" Harrison was very popular and he is best known for MY FAIR LADY and the original Dr. Doolittle movie (not the Eddie Murphy rip off). I had to double check to make sure that he never played Mike Hammer in any movies (he didn't). So I still have no idea why you chose the name.
I found this story to be acceptable, but it didn't make me sit back and go "Wow". The ending when Rex and Helen finally get their shit together was very good. 4/5
