When breakfast was done, we joined everyone at the table. The girls were beaming and the guys looked whooped. I could only imagine trying to keep reins on the three in the kitchen. I knew what they were capable of, but I could also say no to them.
Breakfast was just as good as it looked. When we finished, we were all sitting back in our chairs and nobody talked. I’m pretty sure we stuffed ourselves. Lexi said she would clean the girls up and get them ready, and Sam and I agreed to clean up the mess. We should have seen the kitchen before agreeing. It was a mess, and when I saw it I knew the guys hadn’t said no to the girls.
Alex and Johnny tried helping, but Sam and I wouldn’t let them, so they went and showered. By the time we finished, everyone was ready to start the lazy movie day. Sam and I still needed to shower and change. Knowing everyone was waiting, I was able to make it downstairs in record time. I loved how Alex didn’t make me feel like I needed to doll myself up for him. Sweats, a classic pony, and no makeup was good enough for him.
The lazy day actually went by fast. We had cold cut sandwiches for lunch and dinner was lasagna that Alex had brought in from a local restaurant. The only break we seemed to take from the TV was to eat more food.
When it was time to head to our rooms, Johnny came up with the idea of us all sleeping in the living room. Lily was freaking out she was so happy. I, on the other hand, had less enthusiasm, but felt I could give in for one night. The guys carried down the twin mattresses from the girl’s rooms. We brought down pillows and blankets. Josie and Jasmine slept on opposite ends of one couch, Lexi took the other full couch, and Lily took the recliner. I could never do this in my house, because my living room was too small, but there was still extra room in here.
We pushed together the three mattresses and placed blankets along the seams. Alex slept on one end, me next to him and Sam, while Johnny was on the other end. Sam whispered over to us, “No funny stuff, and try to keep it PG tonight.” She started to laugh quietly. It wasn’t quite enough, because Lily needed to know why she was laughing, but Sam handled it like a pro. I still cracked under the pressure.
When I woke up the next morning, I was stiff. I sat up on my elbows, looked around, and saw everyone was still asleep. When I looked over at Sam, I immediately smiled. Johnny was on his back facing the ceiling and Sam had her arm around him and her head on his chest. I had a feeling it wasn’t completely by accident. When Alex started to stir, I kicked Sam under the covers. She immediately jumped.
“What the fuck?” It happened to wake the rest of the room. There was no sleeping in, but it was already eight in the morning, and for me that was close enough to sleeping in.
Sunday wasn’t as relaxing. I had to get lesson plans done, so I left the girls there with everyone as I went to the school to complete them. Luckily there was only two days before break. Lexi had to fly out that afternoon to see her parents in Florida for the holiday week, so she left to go home and pack.
When I got back, I saw Lily with Johnny and their guitars. Josie was reading to Alex while Sam and Jasmine were baking cookies. I went into the kitchen to watch them. I pulled up a stool to the island. Jazz was eating more batter than she placed on the baking sheets.
I wanted to bring up the morning, but wasn’t sure how to in front of Jasmine. My mind was going over all the different ways to covertly bring it up, but nothing that wouldn’t bring up questions from Jasmine.
“I see those wheels turning. Don’t even bring it up.” Sam knew I wanted to talk about it.
“What, you have something on your mind?” I smirked.
“Nope, nothing I need or want to share with you.” She pointedly raised her eyebrows at me.
“Oh, but you will.” I winked at her and stood. I walked into the other room after giving Jazz a kiss on the top of the head to see what the other girls were up to. I listened to Josie read while Lily played the guitar for me. She was getting a bit faster at stringing cords together.
After dinner, I told the girls to get ready because we had to head home. Alex quickly interjected his brilliant idea. He thought we could or should stay at his house the next few nights, since we would be staying anyway when Derek got into town on Wednesday. I was very reluctant, but I agreed. I quickly ran home and grabbed the girl’s backpacks and my school bag. I grabbed a few things because I wasn’t really sure what was in my closet at Alex’s. The only things I ever looked for were lounge clothes.
When I got back, the girls were all showered and on the couch with Alex. He was reading them a few books. I sat on the floor in front of them, resting my head on the couch. When he was done, he informed them it was bedtime. There was no whining or bargaining like they did when I put them to bed. I followed them up the stairs and had them go into their respective rooms. I had them pick numbers as to decide the order of who would get tucked in first.
When I was done, I was feeling tired. I walked into Alex’s room to take a shower. I needed the hot water to beat down on my back because it was sore from the slumber party. While I was in the shower, I heard the door open and close. I thought Alex came in to grab something, but he was sliding back the shower curtain and climbing in with me.
“Are you fucking crazy? The girls are probably still awake.” I was holding my hand on his chest and not allowing him in the water stream or close to me.
“The twins are asleep and Lily has a flashlight under her blankets reading a book, so we are safe.” This completely broke my house rules I had designed for us, but we weren’t at my house, and I had a feeling he thought they didn’t apply here.
“What if she comes to the room to get me?” I had a slight fear of being caught by the girls in an inappropriate position.
“The door is locked, so relax.” He removed my hand from his chest and pulled me close. We were front to front, and he had his hands wrapped around my body, rubbing my lower back. It felt so good that I had no choice but to moan in the appreciation. “See, you can’t do this yourself.” He had a point, but he was still putting me in an uncomfortable position.
After a while, he turned me and rubbed my neck and shoulders. Alex was digging into my neck, and it hurt so good. I had knots and he was getting rid of all of them. When time passed, I wrapped my arms behind us both, grabbed his butt, and started massaging it. The more I rubbed, the more I pulled him in closer to me. His hands on my neck were replaced with his mouth, kissing, licking and biting. Even in the hot water I was getting chills down my body. Alex’s hands were traveling up and down my body. He groped my breasts, grabbing my nipples, rolling them between his fingers. My hands left his ass and traveled to his front, stroking him slowly. I started to face him, but he stopped me.
Alex’s right hand left my breast while his left hand continued squeezing and rolling my nipple. His left hand came around my neck, pulling my head back and to the side to meet his mouth and tongue. When I tried again to turn, his hand spanked my ass. It had enough force to sting, but also turned my insides on fire. I was now craving him, all of him. I caught myself whimpering because I needed him.
“Show me what you want,” Alex whispered in my ear. I tightened my grip on him to let him know what I wanted. “No, show me.” Alex took my hand and guided it to the inside of my folds. I was feeling self-conscious about playing with myself in front of him. I’d obviously masturbated before, but not in front of anyone.
Slowly, I started moving my finger inside myself, taking time to play with my clit. Both Alex’s hands started moving up and down me again, grabbing and squeezing where he wanted. I felt Alex move down as he trailed kisses down my back. I was shocked when he bent me over. I felt his tongue between my ass checks. Nobody had ever kissed or touched me there, and I was uneasy about it. I had stopped playing with myself to protest the move, but Alex redirected me with a hand. “Relax, trust me.”
This had nothing to do with trust, or so I thought. Alex was right, it was a different feel, but my senses were going crazy. My fingers were working my insides and I was hitting all the s
pots I had become familiar with the last few years, while Alex continued to lick me from behind. I came hard, my legs were shaking and they were about to go out from under me until Alex grabbed me by the waist and held me up. When I was done, Alex pulled my fingers out and licked them clean. I was completely turned on again.
I went to turn again, and again Alex stopped me. Instead he bent me over at the waist and entered me from behind. My hands were placed on the side of the shower so I could help myself stand and also have a little force to push back into him. Alex had my hips and was thrusting into me deeply and slowly to start, but he started thrusting faster. I was pushing back with as much force as I could. I could feel his grip tighten and I knew he was getting close. I moved a hand to my clit and started playing with it. Quickly, I was starting to climax again. Alex was digging into my sides, and his thrusts went deeper and slower. He let out a small growl and I knew he was there.
When Alex released me, he sat on the bottom of the shower and placed me on his lap, this time turning me so I was facing him and straddling him. His breathing had started to slow and he rested his forehead on mine.
“God, you are fucking amazing,” he said as he kissed my forehead.
“Funny how I was thinking the same thing about you.” I kissed his forehead. “We need to put some house rules in place here. As much as I enjoyed myself here, we have to stop having sex when the girls are in the same house as us.” I needed him to agree on this with me.
“So you are telling me the twins were conceived when Lily was out of the house?” Alex pulled back to look at me, water running down his face.
I felt I was walking into a trap. “No, well, I don’t know, possibly.” I wasn’t sure actually.
“You’ve never had sex when the girls were home, ever?” He was looking at me and I couldn’t lie.
“No, but it’s different.” I knew I was trapped in some sort of logic he had weaved in his head.
“Different because you were married?” I didn’t want to answer. I wasn’t going to. I went to stand, but Alex grabbed my waist. “I’m not starting a fight, just answer the question please.”
“Yes, different because I was married and that was their dad.” I felt like a bitch saying it. I looked down because I didn’t want to look at him.
“If you would let me marry you, we would be too, and as far as I’m concerned I’m already their dad. I might not be biological, but I love them like they are mine.” I looked at him now and he had sadness in his eyes.
I put my hands on both sides of his face and had him look at me. “I love you, but I need time for my mind to catch up to my heart, and as for those girls, they love you like a father. You spend more time with them and do more for them than a lot of dads I know. I’ve never questioned your love for them.” I didn’t know how to put his mind at ease. “Basically, I’m crazy and I can’t shut my mind off. I know I need to trust and let go of the fears, but my mind can’t let go of the fact it’s only been five, almost six months.” These were my hang-ups and I knew it. “You are perfect, and I don’t know how I got lucky enough to get you to love me.”
Alex grabbed the back of my head with his hands and pulled me toward him to meet his mouth. Our mouths met with a type of hunger and need. I needed him to know I loved him and he needed me to let go and trust him.
We finished the shower in a comfortable silence. I knew I wasn’t giving him everything he wanted right now, but it was all I could give at the present moment. I hoped time would put both of us at ease.
~14~
The next morning I woke to the smell of coffee by my face. Alex set my coffee next to me on the nightstand and crawled back into bed with me.
“I still can’t grasp how you are a morning person. I’ve always hated people like you.” I had tried for years to be a morning person. I tried getting up, working out in the morning, and just getting up and having coffee and watching the news, but I just couldn’t get my body to enjoy it, or even get used to it.
Alex didn’t respond. He simply grabbed his coffee and chuckled. I sat up and started sipping mine. I leaned back on the headboard and started enjoying my coffee. “I guess if you keep bringing me coffee I can grow to love the fact you are a morning person.”
“You have fucking loved it the minute I started waiting outside your bathroom door like a puppy every morning with your coffee.” He had a point.
“True, but I wouldn’t call you a puppy. You are just whipped.” I laughed into my coffee cup as I was about to take a sip. I heard Alex set his down and I was out of bed with the cup on the nightstand before he could grab me.
“Where are you going? I was about to show you whipped.” Alex was lying across the bed, slightly sprawled out.
I went to walk toward him, but realized I needed to get to the bathroom, because my monthly visitor was here. I started to walk across the room when Alex started talking to me over my shoulder.
“What?” I think he thought I was pissed.
“Well, the good news is we won’t need to fight over house rules for the next few days. You are on dry dock.” I walked into the bathroom and I was shutting the door when I heard his response.
“I’ll call your dentist to see if your mouth still works.”
I wanted to laugh, but didn’t want to give him the satisfaction.
I knew I didn’t pack anything. I had completely forgotten about my period and didn’t think to bring anything. I knew he wouldn’t have thought of picking up anything to keep here. I riffled through the drawers in the hope of being wrong, but it was hopeless. I ended up walking out of the bathroom in hopes that Sam had some. I walked into her room, but she wasn’t there. I didn’t know where she was, but knew I didn’t have time to go looking for her. I wanted to scream. I felt like it was a sign telling me I shouldn’t have stayed here, but my own house instead.
When I walked back in the room, Alex was getting dressed. “Where are you going?”
“The store, because obviously you can’t. Get in the shower. I’ll be back before you get out.” I was not letting him go to the store to get tampons for me.
“Please, like I’ve never bought them before.”
“Really, you have?” I was surprised he had bought them before.
“No, but it’s not a big deal. Now go get in the shower.” He kissed me on the forehead before turning me towards the bathroom door. I willingly walked in and started getting ready for my shower.
Alex came back when I had finished drying my hair. “Okay, it is harder than I thought. Why are there so many different kinds, and what is the difference in regulars and supers? Also, there are different types of maxi pads out there.”
I started to laugh and snorted laughter when I saw him place the three bags on the sink. He must have bought one of each kind of tampon and pad at the store. I honestly couldn’t help but love him. I leaned over, kissed him, and whispered, “I love you,” in his ear. No man has ever gone to the store and bought me tampons before. When I was done kissing him, I nudged him towards the door. “Now go.” He didn’t respond, but just walked out the door.
When I got ready, I walked down the hall to the girl’s rooms. The twins were still asleep, but Lily was already up with her lamp on and reading a book. “Good morning, smarty, how did you sleep?” I walked over to the bed and kissed her on the top of the head.
“Good, I like sleeping here.” I was glad she liked it, but I still wasn’t comfortable moving them in permanently.
“Well, we will stay for the week, if you don’t mind. Uncle Derek is coming, and he will stay here with us.” I could see the smile spread across Lily’s face.
“Think he’ll bring us a present?” I wanted to laugh, but I held it in.
“You should be happy just to see him.”
“I’ll be happier with a gift in my hand.” I couldn’t hold the laugh in and Lily joined me.
I left her room and woke up the twins. They were easy. They just popped out of bed and got moving, something they did not inherit
from me. They each went in their own bathroom and brushed their teeth. I told them I’d meet them all downstairs to do their hair. It was too hard going from bathroom to bathroom.
When I got downstairs, Alex was making breakfast, which was just three big bowls of cereal. I smiled as I went to pour more coffee. I thought I’d see Sam down here since she wasn’t in her room. I figured she was up watching television or drinking coffee. Exercising was out of the question for her.
I quickly did the girl’s hair. Jasmine was always easy, with just a high ponytail. Lily was in a Katniss stage from The Hunger Games, so I did a diagonal French braid, and Josie had two braids. When I was done, I left them with Alex to finish their breakfast as I headed to school.
When I was getting to my car, I saw Sam exiting the guesthouse. She was trying to sneak by and didn’t see me standing next to my car.
“You know, if you want to be sneakier, you might want to sneak back in before everyone is awake.”
I saw her jump. “Fuck.” She turned towards me. “You didn’t see this.” She moved towards me.
“Yes, I did,” I said in a smart ass tone.
“How the hell can I get back in that house and not have Alex see me?” I could hear the panic in her voice.
“He’ll be taking the girls to school in twenty minutes. Go back in there,” I pointed at the guesthouse, “and when he leaves, crawl your ass back into bed.”
“Thanks.” Sam turned to walk back into the guesthouse.
“You better tell him if this is something serious, because I’m done keeping secrets.” I knew he would go bat shit crazy if he knew Sam stayed with Johnny last night.
“Please, can I owe you one? You never know when you’ll need it.” Sam looked at me with pleading eyes.
“Fine, but only on the grounds of girl code, but if this becomes a regular thing you better tell him.” I knew this wouldn’t end well if he caught them.
