Nick
I was in heaven. For the next twenty-four hours, I was with Mia. Alone. Just the two of us. Usually naked. Often our bodies joined in the ultimate act of love.
The next day, we were hungry and had finished off the only food in Mia’s home; crackers and peanut butter. We dressed, packed a bag for Mia, and went to my place, where I had food, although mostly we spent another twenty-four hours totally immersed in each other.
The following night, Jim insisted we visit him. I didn’t want to leave our bubble of perfection, and yet, I knew we needed to. I wasn’t thrilled about venturing out into town, but I knew Jim would be supportive of me, and I knew I owed him an apology.
Mia and I were in the shower washing up after making love, and yet, once again, my dick was eager to be inside her.
“It’s no wonder you had a reputation as a ladies’ man,” Mia said when I hooked her leg over my hip and readied to slide inside her. “Your urges are insatiable.”
“It’s all you, baby. He can’t get enough.”
Her smile was so lovely. I vowed then and there to find a way to see it every day for the rest of my life.
“Just me though, right?”
“Only you.” I pushed in, savoring the feel of her pussy giving way to me.
She closed her eyes as if she was savoring the moment too.
“Mia?”
Her eyes fluttered open. “Hmm.”
“Move in with me.”
She stared at me for a moment, a sure sign that I took her off guard. I’d been wanting to ask her practically since I walked into her apartment two days earlier, but I worried it was too much too soon.
“We’re both unemployed. We’ll save money if you give up your rental and move in here,” I argued.
“So, this is just a financial decision?”
I think she was kidding, but to be sure I clarified. “No. I love you, I want to go to bed and wake up with you. But on the off chance you need an additional reason, saving money is one.”
She laughed. “Being with you is reason enough.”
My heart jumped with hope in my chest. “Is that a yes?”
She nodded. “Yes.”
I kissed her, feeling such love and awe for her. There was no talking after that. Instead, I let my body show her how happy I was that she wanted to move in with me.
Later, at Jim’s place, I was a bit on edge wondering how he and Eli, in particular, would take the news of our relationship.
“It’s about damn time,” Jim said, shaking my hand. “When are the grandbabies coming?”
“Dad!” Mia looked at me with horror in her eyes. I wanted to tell him that it wouldn’t be too long if I had my druthers, but one thing at a time.
“First you and I need to take a trip to see the bongos,” I said, changing the subject.
“I’d rather have a grandchild,” he said.
“Stop talking about that.” Eli shook his head. “It makes me and Mia uncomfortable.”
“You?” Jim asked.
“Babies come from … well you know and I can’t think of Mia and Nick … like that …"
“Please don’t,” Mia said. “That’s disturbing.”
I wouldn’t say Eli and I were friends, but we were civil. Perhaps in time, we’d become friendly. He left early to have a drink with Dana Ramsey.
“It’s about time,” I said when he left. “I think he’s loved her since we were in elementary school.”
“You knew about that?” Mia asked as she set up the chess table.
“Sure. He and I were friends back then.”
Mia and I teamed up against Jim in chess, but he still won.
The next morning, I was sitting on the deck with my coffee, when I got a call from Victoria.
“Good news, Nick. The Masons are dropping you from their lawsuit. They have asked as a condition of it that you don’t go around saying the grandson dilly dallied and didn’t get Ms. Mason to the hospital in time.”
Relief washed through me. I didn’t realize just how heavy the weight of the lawsuit was until it was removed. “I have no desire to add to their grief. What about the hospital?”
“I don’t know what they’ll do. I did try to call the lawyer there, but they said she doesn’t work there anymore.”
“No, she doesn’t.”
“Does that mean she’s with you?”
Mia came out on the deck with a cup of coffee.
“Yes. She is.”
“So, there is such a thing as fairy tales?”
I smiled and reached over to take Mia’s hand. “Yes, there is.”
After the call, I gave Mia the news and she celebrated by giving me a mind-blowing orgasm. As I recovered, she said, “At some point, we needed to think about jobs.”
“Too bad we couldn’t get paid to have sex. We’re good at it.” I pulled her into my lap getting ready to repay her generosity by giving her an orgasm.
“We could actually. I think it’s called porn.”
I laughed. “Hopefully it won’t come to that.”
As if the universe was listening in, Mia’s phone rang. She looked at it. “It’s the hospital.”
“I guess your pleasure will have to wait.”
“Let me see what they want.” She answered the phone. As she spoke, I kissed her neck, and slid my hand between her thighs. She wriggled, trying to get me to stop, which only made me hard. “I’ll need to think about it,” she said.
I stopped my seduction, deciding to wait until she was done.
She finally hung up, set her phone down, and wrapped her arm around me. “Now, where were you?”
“What was that about?”
“They want me to come back.” She took my hand and brought back to her pussy. Taking the cue, I fingered her, enjoying watching her as pleasure washed through her body. As she came down from her high, she rested her head on my shoulder. “You sure you don’t want to try porn?”
I laughed. “I don’t think I could handle strange men watching you
