I don’t own the Biker Mice from Mars, no matter how much I wish I did! I am  barely borrowing them from their real owner who for my opinion are a bunch of idiots for letting the guys down.

Please note that there is some nudity so prudes  and censors stay away. The rest of us know that there is such a thing in life as  people not wearing people and that babies don’t come in cabbages or from the store!

"Do you guys need to go to the bathroom?"

Modo: "No"

Vinnie: "Nope!"

Throttle: "No, we're about to go. Why?"

Charley: "Because I didn't want one of you coming in while I'm in my  bath."

AS she said so, she arched her back trying to relax it a bit.

Throttle: "Your back still hurt from that fall babe?"

Charley: "A hot bath and a good night sleep should take care of that."

Throttle: "Then jump right in there, it's all yours."

Modo: It's Sunday tomorrow, sleep all you want Charley-ma'am."

Charley: "I will. Good night guys." And with that she closed the bathroom  door.

Vinnie felt bad, real bad. That fall was all his fault! If he hadn't been  showing off she wouldn't have fell and hurt herself. What could he do to make  her feel better?

Throttle: "Time to leave bros. We'll be in Quigley field just in time to see  WWF RAW."

Modo: "Alright! Let's move!"

Vinnie: "I'll join you guys later."

Throttle: "Vin, You're not going to do something stupid like surprise Charley  in her bath are you?"

Vinnie: "Tempting but no. I'll be nice and just offer a back rub."

Modo: "Yeah, right!"

Vinnie: "Hey! I was raised right!"

Throttle: "Well just remember: she's in no shape to teach you a lesson but we  are!"

Vinnie: "Very funny bro! What do you take me for? A rat?"

Modo: "Ok, ok! Just remember your manners"

Charley heard the sound of bikes leaving through the thick bathroom door and  relaxed, relieved. She had been in such a hurry to get in her bubbly hot bath  and relax her soar body that she had forgotten her bathrobe and her towel was  too small to hide behind. She relaxed there for a good half-hour before the  water turned cold.

Charley: (mumbling to herself) "Better get to bed." She dried herself up and  partly cleaned the bathroom. "It looks better then when the guys come in here."  She said to herself as an excuse. She opened the door. "The guys forgot to close  the TV again. I'll turn it off on my way up. God, it's cold in here!" She passed  the sofa without looking and reached for the TV then turned around and noticed  the white mouse laying on the sofa.

Vinnie was in choc! He couldn't believe Charley-girl would walk around naked  in her garage! And yet, she was standing there, frozen in front of him, her long  wet hair falling down on her shoulder, her skin lightly covered with Goosebumps,  her hard nipples darting up. He had hoped to see her wearing very little but  this … He never dared to even imagine her like this! Blushing he looked away not  wanting to embarrass her more then he already had and said: "Sorry to have  scared you Charley-girl. I stayed around to offered some help with your back.  Thought you might like a back rub before you sleep. I'm sorry, very sorry …"

Charley: "I'd … I'd better go and put something on." She turned and ran upstairs. What was she going to do? She had to face him (more at herself). But  what was she going to do? She had to face him, even if it was just to reassure  him that she wasn't mad at him (more at herself). But what was she going to  wear? During the last few years, money had gone scares so she had bought only  the strict necessary, even in cloths and had started to sleep in T-shirt,  something she couldn't do in front of Vinnie. She blushed thinking that now it  didn't matter much but still, no need to make things worst. She knew he had like  it, his eyes had lighted up and he even had started to smile. Oh, not much but  enough for her to know he had liked what he saw. She then remembered an old  babydoll she had got from Jack. She hadn't been able to look at it for a long  time after they had broke up but it was better then just her bathrobe. She  hesitantly took the red silk in her hands and passed it on, shivering at the  silk caressed her skin then passed the bathrobe and went back downstairs.

Vinnie didn't know if he should leave or stay. He wanted to leave, to hide  what the sight of her had done to him. (He could still feel the tension in his  body and didn't want to show it.) He wanted to stay, to tell her he was sorry,  to let her know if he could still offer her a rub as much as he wanted to touch  her. He was worried he would loose his cool and she might think badly of him  too. He could live with just being her friend, especially if he kept riding her  around, her body tightly holding on to him. (it was partly the reason he drive  so recklessly, so she would hold on tight!) But he just couldn't stand the idea  of her being mad at him. No, he had to talk to her. He heard her move around in  her room the she came back downstairs.

"Charley, I'm sorry … " He stopped, lacking words.

"You already said that Vinnie." She moved closer to him to caress is cheek  and force him to look at her. "It was my fault Vinnie. I know better then to do  that. I should have asked you guys to bring me my bathrobe when I noticed I  didn't have it. But I was too proud and look where it got me!" She giggled,  blushing a bit. "Just promise me you wont go and brag about it to the  others."

"I promise Charlene. I wont talk to a soul about it.": He replied, his face  incredibly serious, especially for him. She knew he meant it and smiled.

"Still want to rub my back?"

"I didn't dare to offer it again." He answered with a small smile on his  face. "Go to your room. I'll go get my rubbing lotion."

She turned around, heading for the stairs, her bathrobe opening a bit to show  the red silk.

"Girl, you light my fire like no one else" he thought.

When Vinnie got in her room, she had taken off her bathrobe along with her  top and was lying in the bed on her stomach. "Like Modo would say : Oh  mama!" He thought, feeling the tension in him rise again. He took his gloves  off and placed them on the nightstand when he seated next to her. "Hope you like  the smell. It reminds me of spring on Mars." He placed a small bit of the lotion  in his hands so it wouldn't be cold on her skin and started lightly to rub her  neck.

The smell was intoxicating. Wild flowers both sweet and spicy, something very  close to mint and a light touch of honey filled the air. Vinnie's hand were soft  on her back, warming her skin and calming her muscles. But they also awoke the  woman in her that she had desperately tried to hide so they would take her  seriously and made her realize how lonely she felt when they left. He awoke her  skin gently as he moved down her spin so very slowly. She had to fight to stay  calm when he got to the edge of her babydoll, partly hoping he would keep moving  down but after a while he just started moving back up again.

He barely heard her complaint when after a pause he had found the strength to  move back up. Had he hurt her or could it be that she was starting to feel like  him? He couldn't say. He rubbed her shoulder so she would move her head his way  and tried to figure out how she felt. She was smiling but her lips seamed  smaller. When she opened her eyes, they seemed darker, like a jungle where  anyone would get lost.

She opened her eyes that she never noticed closing to look into his eyes. He  seemed so … tensed. Like he was about to jump into a fight! As her eyes fell  lower she understood that he WAS fighting, fighting himself!

She had to ask! She had to know! This game of cat and mouse had gone on long  enough!

"Vinnie?"

"Yes Charley-girl?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure!"

"Downstairs, when you said you were sorry. Were you sorry of scaring me or seeing me?"

By the gods! How could he answer that?

"Charley! That's not even a question to ask!"

"Please, I need to know."

What to say? The truth? She deserved it but it wouldn't do them any good.  Lie? How could he ever say something to her with his mouth and another with his  heart and soul?

"The truth Vincent."

"I was sorry I had scared you Charley-girl. I might do some silly things but  I would never hurt you or embarrass you willingly!"

As he spoke, she slowly turned herself toward him so she could look at him as  he spoke. His heart started racing as her body uncovered itself to his eyes. His  hands burned to caress her soft flesh and his mind screamed to kiss her lips but  he used all the strength he had left to hold himself up.

She looked at him in the eyes, seeing his conflict and softly said : "Vinnie,  say it. Please. I need to hear you say it."

He lowered his head, unable to face her as he admitted: "When I saw you, I  envied the man that you will love for he will be the luckiest one alive. That's  why I drive so carelessly, to feel you holding tight to me, to have you close to  me."

As she placed her hand on his cheek, he barely had the strength to whisper:  "I love you Charley-girl, for all the good it will bring us."

"What makes you say that?" She asked now sitting straight, raising his face  to meet hers only a breath away.

"Because I'm a mouse and you're human. Because I am a warrior in a desperate  war. Even if we were to win, I would have to go back to Mars to help rebuilt it.  You deserve a man who will be there for you, take care of you, keep you safe and  give you a real life. Not this hell that I live!"

His eyes were now filled with tears after showing her that part of him he had  tried so hard to hide. He finally found the strength to look at her. She had  such a tender smile on her face even as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Don’t cry Charley-girl! I didn't say that to hurt you! …" A finger softly  stopped him as she said: "Vinnie, I'm only crying because of all the time we  lost!" She softly kissed him before saying: "Don’t you think I know all that?  But this fight, this war, is also mine too! I too am a fighter in this! Even if  we were to get rid of the Plutarkians, we made way to many enemies for me to  return to a normal life. The stalkers would be chasing me to use as bate for you  guys! And the others, do you think they would forget? Vinnie, mom and I already  agreed. When you guys go, the Davidson will go too."

She smiled at his surprise.

"Are you sure Charley? I mean, Mars is almost barren now. Not much to go  about. No pretty dress, no lake for you to swim into."

She silenced him.

"I know, I went there. But I can't stay here if my heart is with you. I love  you Vinnie, my sweet macho mouse."

She kissed him again but this time he drew her closer, molding their body into one silhouette.

Here will be sex!

(If I get the time to write it!)

The next morning
