Feels Like Summertime

I lift her shirt over her head, and then pull her sleep shorts down so she can step out of them. She holds onto my shoulders until I stand back up. Then I scoop her up and hitch her hips around my waist. “Unfortunately, the first time isn’t going to take a few hours. It’ll be minutes. Seconds, even.”

“Oh, thank God,” she says. She holds tightly to my shoulders until I lay her on my bed. I stare down at her perfect body, made even more perfect by the birth of children, the passage of time, and my absolute love for her. “I don’t want to wait, Jake,” she says. She rolls over and her bare bottom lifts ever so slightly. “I don’t want that stare-into-my-eyes kind of sex, Jake. I want quick and raw and hot.” She buries her face in her arms and her round bottom clenches. “Fuck me, Jake.”

I reach into my nightstand drawer and retrieve a condom. “Yes, ma’am,” I say. I start to tear the package open with my teeth, and a tiny little knock sounds on my door.

Katie squeals and rolls to the edge of the bed, and then she drops down onto the floor with a thump. She tugs my covers until they fall onto the floor with her.

“Shit,” I grit out. I pull my shirt back over my head and put my pajama pants back on, and then I crack the door ever so slightly.

Trixie stands in my doorway. She has a blanket clutched in one fist and her thumb is stuck solidly in her mouth. “There’s a noise under my bed,” she says around her thumb.

I drop down to crouch in front of her. “What kind of noise?”

“It’s the blue raccoon. He wants to steal my covers.” She holds up her blanket. “See?”

“Do you need some blue raccoon spray?”

She nods and tucks her blanket next to her cheek. “Yes, please.”

“Go back to bed,” I say. “I’ll be right there.”

I close my door, drop to my knees on my bed and crawl across to look down at Katie. “You okay down there?”

She uncovers her head and blows a lock of hair from her eyes. “Yes. I’ll just wait right here.”

I chuckle and scurry back across the bed. “I’ll be right back.”

I go and tuck Trixie back in bed, give Sally a pat on the head, spray some blue raccoon spray, and then lean down next to Trixie’s bed. I pull the covers up under her chin. “All better?”

She nods and snuggles deeper into her pillow. “Yes. All better.”

“Sleep tight,” I say.

“Don’t let the bed bugs bite,” she replies.

I check on Alex, shove his foot back onto the bed, and leave their door cracked behind me as I step back out.

“Hey, Jake?” Trixie calls.

I turn back.

“I love you,” she says quietly.

My heart clenches. “I love you too, Trix,” I say. I pull the door almost shut, leaving about an inch of space.

I fell in love with Katie’s kids about the same time I fell in love with her.

But first things first.

I have a naked woman hiding behind my bed on the floor. And I really want to get back to her.

I close my bedroom door and crawl across the bed again. Then I cross my hands and lay my chin on them. “You still awake down there?”

She throws the covers down from her face again. Her eyes skim my chest. “Why do you have clothes on?” she asks.

“Well, there was an issue with a blue raccoon and I had to go deal with it. But now I’m back. Where were we?” I tap my temple and pretend to think about it. “Were we playing cards?”

“Jake,” she says, nearly choking on her laughter. “If you don’t come down here and fuck me soon, I’m going to...”

I smile and stare down at her. “You’re going to what?”

“I’m going to come up there and fuck you,” she says.

And that is all it takes. The erection I lost when Trixie knocked is back in full force.

I roll onto my back, kick my pajama pants off, pull my shirt over my head, roll a condom down my length, and wait.

Katie huffs and gets to her feet. She stands beside the bed with her hands on her hips. She stares at my junk. “You know,” she says, “this is the first time I’ve actually seen your dick.”

I lift my arms to rest the back of my head in my hands. “You’re impressed, right?”

She crawls across the bed on all fours. “I’d be more impressed if you were inside me.”

She straddles my hips and rests her palms flat on my chest, so that her weight is balanced on her hands.

“That can be arranged,” I tell her.

She leans down and kisses me, and then she reaches between us and takes me in her fist. She pulls my dick away from my belly, until it’s standing straight up, and then she sinks slowly down on top of me. I watch as she takes me inside, using my thumbs to spread her open, and as I disappear inside her, I have to shut my eyes to keep from coming.

Her hair has come loose from its braid and it’s hanging down around her creamy shoulders. Her full breasts bounce a little as she sinks down and then rises up.

“Wait, wait, wait,” I say. I hold on to her hips, squeezing tightly.

She stops moving. “What’s wrong?” she asks, her brow furrowing.

“We have to slow it down a little,” I warn her. “I’m going to come.”
