“Oh, come on, baby. Just think of the last time we had sex in a barn.” Jeff wiggled his eyebrows up and down. “The barn is far enough away from the house that no one could possibly hear us. I mean, you’ll have to keep your screams of pleasure down and all.”
I instantly felt the wetness between my legs. I quickly looked back at the house before turning and walking toward the barn.
“I’m so going to hell for this,” I said as I heard Jeff say, “Oh, hell yes!”
I hadn’t even walked into the barn before he grabbed me and spun me around. He pulled me to him and lifted me up as I wrapped my legs around him. He backed us up and leaned me against the wall. His hand moved up and under my shirt. The moment I felt him push up my bra and then squeeze my nipple, I almost came on the spot.
“Jeff…oh god,” I whispered.
He slowly let me down to unbutton my jeans.
“Jesus, Ari…you drive me crazy. Do you know that?” he asked.
I watched him pull my pants and then my panties down. I lifted each leg as he took my sneakers off, and then he pulled off the pants and panties. He quickly undid his pants, and I felt my breathing pick up as I watched him push his pants down, his erection springing free. I licked my lips and looked up into his eyes.
“Fuck…” Jeff said as he picked me back up.
I wrapped my legs around him again. In one movement, he slammed his dick into me, and I let out a small whimper. I threw my head back and bit my lip… attempting not to yell out in pleasure. Nothing felt as good as having Jeff inside me.
“Ah…Ari…baby, come on,” Jeff said as he moved in and out of me.
I tried so hard to hold off, so I could just enjoy the feel of him inside me.
“Baby…”
That was it—his pleading voice was my undoing. I snapped my head forward, and our eyes met.
“Jeff…I’m gonna come.”
He let out a grunt and whispered, “Yes.”
I bit hard on my lower lip as Jeff closed his eyes. I swore I could feel every ounce of him pouring into my body. I’d never felt so damn sexy in my life as I did at this very moment with my husband holding me up after making such passionate love to me. He stood there, panting to catch his breath, still inside me.
I smiled as I leaned in and grabbed his lower lip with my teeth.
“Ah hell, Ari. I could totally do that again if you’d just give me a few minutes.”
I started laughing and then instantly stopped. I could hear someone talking.
I looked at Jeff as we both said, “No fucking way!”
Jeff dropped me and pulled up his pants. Then, he reached down and grabbed my pants, panties, and shoes before quickly taking my arm and walking me over to Big Roy’s stall. He opened it and pushed me inside.
“Get down!” he whispered as he zipped up his pants.
“What? I’m half-fucking-naked in a horse stall, and you want me to get down?”
Just then, we heard Garrett call out, “Ari? Jeff?”
Jeff turned back and pushed my head down before spinning around and walking away.
Big Roy walked up to me and kept trying to nudge me with his head.
I looked at Big Roy as I tried to get him to stop. “Stop it, boy. No! We aren’t going for a ride.” I rolled my eyes and hurried like hell to get my clothes back on.
Big Roy took a few steps back, and I was finally able to get my panties on. I heard Jeff talking to Garrett, but I couldn’t tell what they were saying.
How does this man always know when we’re having sex?
Just then, Big Roy pushed me hard on my back, making me fall forward…right into a pile of horse shit.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, that did not just happen to me!
I turned and looked at him. He was moving his head up and down.
“It’s true—y’all are nothing but big fucking dogs! You’re supposed to be on my side, you bastard—not standing there, laughing at me in your horse way,” I whispered.
Then, I heard them talking.
“Ellie was looking for you and Ari. They’re fixin’ to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Alex, and Gunner told me to check the barn for you and Ari,” Garrett said.
I slowly got up and moved away from the giant pile of shit as I shook my head. Gunner! Oh…oh…your ass is mine. He must have seen Jeff and me heading down here.
“Awesome! Thanks, Garrett. Yeah, I, um…I’ve been looking for Ari. I’ll give her a few minutes, and if she doesn’t show up, I’ll head on up.”
Garrett said something else to Jeff that I couldn’t make out. I closed my eyes and began to plot my revenge on Gunner.
“What in the fuck?” Jeff said.
I looked up at him. I was itching everywhere, and I had horse shit all over my shirt. My warm and happy just-fucked feeling was gone, completely and utterly gone.
“Yep. I was trying to get dressed, and this little fucker here pushed me into his own shit! My warm and happy just-fucked feeling is gone!” I yelled out.
Big Roy started bouncing his head up and down again.
I jumped up and said, “Look! He’s laughing at me. I swear to you, he did it on purpose.”
Jeff looked toward Big Roy, then down at the shit, and then back up at me. He busted out laughing. I just stood there with my mouth hanging open, wearing a shit-covered shirt and red polka-dot panties, while my own husband laughed at me.
“You think it’s funny?” I asked.
He started to nod. I reached down and picked up my shoes. Jeff opened the stall door, still laughing his ass off.
“I’m sorry, baby, but I can’t let you near the kids with horse shit all over you!” Jeff said as he placed his hands on his knees and continued to laugh.
Uh-huh, I see how this is going to be. “Is that a fact? You think this is pretty funny, huh?”
“Holy shit, Ari! Oh man,” Jeff said as he wiped away the tears.
Tears! He is laughing so hard that he has tears.
I slowly smiled and started laughing.
“See! You can’t help but laugh, too,” Jeff said.
I quickly walked up to him and slammed my body against his. I wrapped my arms around him and held on for dear life.
“What in the hell, Ari? Get off of me!”
Jeff tried like hell to get me off of him, but I was holding on like my life depended on it. We ended up losing our balance, and we fell to ground where I crawled on top of him and pushed his hands down and over his head. He slowly smiled as I felt his erection up against me.
He said, “He’s ready again.”
I couldn’t help but smile back as I rubbed myself against him. Oh god…I could totally—
“Ari…what in the hell are you doing?”
I snapped my head up and saw my father standing there with his hands on his hips, looking rather pissed.
Jeff pushed me off of him. He jumped up and took about three steps away from me.
Pussy.
“Dad, um…I was…well, we were…”
I looked at Jeff, who was clearly not going to offer to help me out with an explanation. It was then that I realized I was standing in my panties. Shit! Shit! Shit! I quickly pulled on my jeans and slipped my sneakers back on.
The whole time, my dad was giving the dirtiest looks to Jeff. I couldn’t help but giggle.
“Jeff and I came down to see the horses, and I…I, um…”
My dad walked closer and stopped right in front of me. “Is that…horse shit on you?” He looked over at Jeff. “And why in the hell is it on you, too? What in the world were you two doing?” He instantly stopped talking.
He closed his eyes and let out a breath as he shook his head. “Okay, I understand you’re married with two kids now…but really? Sex in the barn…at your niece’s first birthday party?” He turned and looked at Jeff. “What in the hell is wrong with you, Johnson?”
Jeff’s mouth dropped open, and that was when I knew I was in trouble.
Don’t talk. Just don’t talk, Jeff.
“What? Why do you always assume it’s my fault?” Jeff asked.
I stepped in between Jeff and my father. “It’s okay, Jeff. Let’s just head on back up—”
My dad gently pushed me out of the way as he pointed his finger at Jeff. “Because, nine times out of ten, it is your fault.”
“Oh…oh, real nice. Well, it just so happens that it wasn’t my fault this time,” Jeff said.
I tried desperately to get him to stop talking. “Jeff, it’s okay, really. I’m sure Ells and Gunner can give us a change of clothes, and—”
“Why do you both have horse shit on you? And why was my daughter sitting on top of you, half-naked, you ass?”
Oh shit. Jeff has that look.
“First off, it was your daughter who propositioned me for sex in the first place.”
My mouth dropped open, and I couldn’t move. He did not just say that!
“Being the good husband that I am, I wasn’t about to let her down, so I brought her to the barn.”
Stop. Talking.
“We heard Garrett, and Ari was half-naked, so I pushed her into Big Roy’s stall before Garrett walked in. Roy was obviously in a playful mood, and he nudged Ari. She…well, she…she lost her balance and went into the…”
He’s gonna start laughing! Oh my god. He’s actually going to start laughing again.
Even though he tried to contain it, Jeff let out a small laugh. I didn’t know what to be more pissed about—the fact that he’d just told my father we’d fucked in the barn or that he was laughing because I had fallen in horse shit.
My dad stood there for a second, just staring at Jeff. “Jeff…son…there are some things you just don’t tell the father of your wife. You’ll start to understand this more when Grace grows up, but in the meantime, from now on…let’s just keep you and my daughter’s sexual encounters to yourself, shall we?”
My father turned and walked away. I put my hands on hips and gave Jeff a what-the-fuck look. I shook my head as he shrugged his shoulders.
“What? The man scares me. He’s threatened my life before, so excuse me for panicking. I felt the best thing to do was to come clean, but…” Jeff took a deep breath and quickly let it out. “But I see I was wrong.”
“Ya think? Dickwad.”
I started making my way out of the barn and up toward the house. I walked up to Ellie, who was standing on the porch.
She just looked at me. “What happened?”
“Trust me, you don’t want to know. Have y’all sung ‘Happy Birthday’ yet?”
Ellie smiled and shook her head. “Why don’t you go take a quick shower and change into something of mine?”
“Oh god, thank you, Ellie. This horse shit stinks. Jeff will need to take a shower, too, and borrow something of Gunner’s.”
“I don’t even want to know,” Ellie said as she looked over at Jeff.
“No, you don’t, but I will say that your brother sure can make me happy one minute and so pissed-off the next.”
Ellie put her fingers up to her ears. “Eww…eww…stop! Yuck!”
I started to walk away when I heard Ellie say to Jeff, “Oh no, you horny ass. You go shower in the guest bathroom. I’ll bring you a pair of sweats and a T-shirt.”
I turned and looked over my shoulder at Jeff.
He smiled and winked at me. Then, he mouthed, Sorry.
I couldn’t help but laugh. Yep. Stupid, romantic dickwad.
I sat on Gunner and Ellie’s back porch and watched Ari run around, chasing Luke. I couldn’t help but smile when Luke would scream every time Ari grabbed him and swung him around. I glanced over and saw Ellie with her hand on her stomach, gently moving it up and down. Gunner was holding a sleeping Alex in his arms as he talked to Brad.
Ellie glanced over and smiled at me. I held up my beer to her, and she winked. She said something to Gunner and Brad, and then she made her way over toward me.
“Have you talked to Mom?” Ellie asked as she sat down next to me.
I smiled and nodded. “I did. I still can’t believe she’s moving to Mason.”
Ellie let out a giggle. “I know. What about being engaged to Philip?”
I smiled as I watched Ellie getting all excited from just thinking about it.
She started shaking her head. “I mean, her life has changed so much, and her dreams are finally coming true. She’s getting a nursing job at Mason Memorial Hospital, and Philip asked her to marry him.” Ellie turned and looked at me. “She’s gonna be here for the birth of the baby! I mean…she’ll be here for everything this time.”
A tear slowly rolled down her cheek. I reached over and wiped it away.
“I know, Ells, I’m excited about it, too. I’m even more excited that she’s going to be here during this pregnancy.”
Ellie nodded and put her head back against the chair. “I think it’s a boy.”
I started laughing. “And what makes you think that?”
“He moves a lot, like he is always twisting and turning in there.”
I glanced over toward Gunner, who was still talking to Brad. Amanda was now sitting in a chair with Maegan on her lap. They were laughing at something they were doing.
“Has Gunner mentioned wanting a boy?” I took a drink from my beer.
Ellie shook her head and smiled. “Nah, he just always says he wants the baby to be healthy, but I think he wants a boy deep down inside.”
I heard Luke call out as he ran by, “Daddy!”
I jumped up, grabbed him, and gave him a hug and kiss. He pushed me away. As soon as I set him down, he took off running again. Now, Mark was chasing him. As Mark ran by, he shot me a dirty look. Smiling, I turned to walk back up onto the porch, and I sat down.
Ellie started laughing. “So…sex in my barn, huh?”
I smiled as I put my lips up to the beer bottle and took another drink. “Blame it on your sister-in-law.”
Ellie snapped her head over and looked at me. “You two are something else. Why was Mark giving you the death stare?”
I shrugged my shoulders. “Probably because he walked in on Ari sitting on top of me, grinding and—”
“Stop! Just stop talking. Ugh…poor Mark.”
Ellie stood and smacked me on the back of the head before walking over to Gunner. She took Alex out of his arms and made her way into the house.
“Hey, handsome,” Ari said as she walked up. She leaned down and kissed me.
“Who has Grace?”
Ari rolled her eyes. “Who else? My mother. She is currently telling Grace all about Katharine Hepburn. She’s making plans for a K.H. movie marathon when Grace reaches the age of five.”
I shook my head as I handed Ari my beer. “Five, huh? I’m impressed your mom is holding off for that long.”
“Don’t be. I walked in once and saw Grace in her bouncy chair, sitting in front of the TV, watching Bringing Up Baby.”
I let out a laugh as Ari giggled.
“I swear…the first string of words Grace will say will be a Katharine Hepburn quote,” she said.
“Probably. So…when can we leave? I really want to finish what we started earlier.”
Ari giggled. “What did we start earlier?”
I gave her a smirk. “Oh please…like you don’t remember rubbing that fine body on me, getting me all worked up.”
Ari bit down on her lower lip and smiled. “Hmm…I don’t really remember that. You might have to remind me.”
I instantly felt my dick growing harder. “Come on, let’s go.”
I stood up, and Ari went to go say something to me as she glanced over my shoulder.
“I think my wife needs to get back that warm and happy just-fucked feeling.”
Ari slammed her hand over my mouth as she looked at me with horrified eyes. I closed my eyes as she slowly removed her hands.
I opened my eyes and whispered, “Your dad is behind me, isn’t he?”
Ari nodded. I turned around to see Mark standing there, holding
Luke. He shook his head, and if looks could kill, I swore I would have fallen over on the spot.
“Sometimes, I lie in bed and just ask God…why? Why Jeff Johnson? Why?” Mark said as he looked up toward the sky.
“Oh, Daddy, knock it off.”
Ari walked past me and went to reach for Luke, but Mark held up his hand.
“Your mother wanted to bring the kids home with us. Maybe you could pick them up tomorrow evening?”
Ari stopped dead in her tracks. “You want to take both kids…for the night? Why?”
Mark laughed. “Because I hardly ever get to see them, and Matthew needs to spend some time with them. Grace is growing up too fast. It would be nice to just spend some time with Luke and Grace. Matthew would love it.”
Ari turned and looked at me. She smiled the biggest smile I’d ever seen. Before she turned back, she put on a serious face.
“Oh, I don’t know, Daddy. Are you sure y’all want them both? I mean, we could come first thing in the morning.”
Mark turned and looked at me. Daggers could have been coming out of his eyes with how he was staring at me.
“I’m sure your husband wouldn’t mind some time with his wife—seeing as how he feels the need to sneak you down to a barn for some…alone time.”
I just smiled and made a mental note to make sure my life insurance was up to date.
“Well…if you don’t think it would be too much trouble?” Ari said.
“Trouble? My grandchildren? Never. Y’all just plan on having lunch at our place tomorrow. Your mother is already putting Grace in her car seat as we speak.”
Ari put her hands on her hips and tilted her head. “What if I had said no? What if I didn’t want the kids to leave for the night?”
Mark laughed as he threw his head back. “Please…Miss Polka-Dot Panties, I know better.”
He turned and walked away as Ari’s face turned ten shades of red.
I walked down the stairs and stopped next to Ari. “Yep, I’m gonna say your dad saw you grinding on me.” I followed Mark to his car, and then I looked back at a stunned Ari.
I couldn’t help but laugh as I ran to catch up with Mark, so I could say good-bye to the kids.
