You really want to let people know where you sleep when you have such a delicate business?"</span>Mary-Ann replied with a cocked brow and pursed lips.<span style="color: #0080FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"...Let's see what Carlos has hidden in his bedroom..."</span></span>Don said as his hands moved under Carlos' pillow. He gave a yelp and Mary-Ann leaned forward some, her interest sparked by Don's reaction.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #0080FF">"Wow. I didn't expect Carlos into that...Can you tell me what this is?"</span></span>Don asked, though Mary-Ann failed to see the mischievous glint in his eye,<span style="color: #FFBF00">"What is what?"</span>Mary-Ann inquired and Don grabbed her hand and put it under the pillow. She didn't stop him, though she did wonder what the hell he was doing.<br/><br/>Her eyes went wide though as she felt something close around her wrist and she realized Don had cuffed her.<span style="color: #FFBF00">"Oh goddamnit, Don! Do you even know if he has keys readily available here?!"</span>she said rather annoyed, but Don bull dozed over her with his words,<span style="color: #0080FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"Now, where does he fix that end? We could make a report about SM...'Famous news reporter admits: Yes, I like them big, black and rough!' Maybe I should call Steve....or we could add Alfonzo to the picture..." </span></span>Mary-Ann did her best not to blush at Don's words, but if the heat rushing to her face was any indication, she was failing miserably.<span style="color: #FFBF00"> "Come on, Don! Quit goofin' off. If you want to bang, all you have to do is ask. Cuffing me certainly isn't flattering,"</span>she replied with a pout, though her eyes glittered with laughter.<br/><br/>Don was a funny guy, but he was a bit out of bounds with his humor. Mary-Ann, despite all her desire and past experience, felt a little intimidated by the idea of being cuffed and under someone else's control. She tried not to dwell on it as she looked for a key. She found it easily enough in the side table drawer and freed herself.<span style="color: #FFBF00"> "As for where Carlos hooks the other end, maybe ask his main squeeze, Lea. He probably does all sorts of kinky stuff with her--"</span>Mary-Ann paused, giving an inward shudder. It wasn't that she found Lea unattractive, but seeing her at the hospital definitely didn't make the idea of sex between Carlos and Lea attractive to her. But bruised up women always shook her.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FFBF00">"Anyhow, Steve is gay, just so you know--and well, Alfonzo has a certain charm to him, but he isn't someone I would like to really explore the world with sexually...Now if it's just you and I, maybe we could talk, but not with these,"</span>Mary-Ann said cheekily as she dangled the handcuffs in front of Don off her index finger.<span style="color: #FFBF00"> "Carlos seems like the type who would want to move fast if someone came in his house, so which way would he reach if he were laying down?"</span><br/><br/>It was then Mary-Ann stretched herself across the bed, laying in it as if she were sleeping. She reached out towards the closest area and it was the side table, but there was no gun. She frowned, but continued to shuffle around, moving a book to the side only to think of how peculiar it was that Carlos was reading Moby Dick. She paused then, grabbing the book out of curiosity and opened it, only to discover it was partially hollowed out with a gun resting inside. She gave a laugh,<span style="color: #FFBF00"> "Oh sweet Jesus, I guess Carlos thinks if he puts a gun in the most boring book on Earth, no one will find it. Almost had me fooled and it's so cliche!" </span><br/><br/>Mary-Ann closed the book back and handed it to Don,<span style="color: #FFBF00">"It's probably safer with you. I've been known to accidentally make things go off."</span>
