“Oh…god…” she said.
I held on to her hip with my other hand and began going faster and harder.
“Jeff…please…”
I pushed my finger into her more, and she began calling out my name.
“Jeff…oh god…that feels amazing!”
I lost it. “Jesus, baby…I’m gonna come.”
“Yes! Jeff, yes!”
I was so out of breath that I rested on top of her as she fell to the bed.
“Holy hell! Why have we not tried that before?” she asked in between pants.
I was still trying to recover from one of the most intense orgasms of my life. I moved and fell to the side of her. She rolled over and looked at me. Her eyes were filled with love and passion.
“Ari, I think you just about killed me. Where in the hell did that come from?”
She laughed. “I don’t know. I’ve been wanting to try some back door action. I guess the moment just hit me.”
I just looked at her. “The moment just hit you? Do you realize that when you told me to touch you there, I almost came on the spot?”
She smiled bigger and shook her head. “You liked that?”
“Uh-huh…hell yeah, I did.”
“Want to play around more with it?” She bit down on her bottom lip and began abusing the hell out of it.
“I think you just made me the happiest man on Earth,” I said as I pulled her closer to me.
She moved to sit on top of me and began grinding against me.
“Baby, I’m not Superman. There’s no way.”
She threw her head back and started feeling her breasts.
She’s trying to kill me.
“Hmm…you feel so good up against my body,” she whispered.
Then, we heard Grace over the baby monitor. Ari snapped her head down and looked at me.
“Later tonight? Back door?” she asked with a wink.
I can’t breathe. “Yes. Most certainly yes.”
She smiled as she crawled off of me, and then she began putting her panties and sweatpants back on. I looked her body up and down, and I had the most intense feeling run through my body.
“I love you, Ari.”
She stopped and smiled as she looked at me. “I love you, too.”
She turned and walked out of the bedroom. I lay there for a few minutes and thought about how blessed I was.
I heard Ari talking to Grace and Luke in the kitchen, so I got up and headed to the bathroom to wash up. I got dressed and made my way out to join them.
As I walked into the kitchen, I stopped and watched my beautiful wife with my precious kids. Luke was helping Ari put Grace into her high chair.
“I don’t know what I would do without my big man here to help me. Huh, Grace?” Ari said.
Grace let out a giggle as Luke ran over to the refrigerator and tried to open it.
Ari picked him up and opened the door. “What do you want, little man? Want some yogurt?”
“Yes, peeze,” Luke said.
I smiled and walked into the kitchen. Grace started kicking as soon as she saw me.
I leaned down and kissed her. “Hey, baby girl.”
“Daddy!” Luke yelled. He fought like hell to get out of Ari’s arms.
She set him down, and I squatted, so he could run into my arms for a hug.
“Alwex?” Luke asked.
“You want to see Alex, buddy?” I asked.
He began nodding his head. I looked up at Ari, who smiled.
“I’ve been promising him a playdate with Alex all day,” she said.
I looked back down at Luke. “You get to see Alex tomorrow. You’re spending the night with Gramps and Grams—both of y’all.”
Luke started jumping up and down when he saw Ari setting his yogurt on the table. He pointed to his seat, so I picked him up and set him in it as I glanced at Ari. She was smiling as she made cereal for Grace.
“Are you happy, baby?” I asked her.
The sexy smile that spread across her face was all I needed to see to know her answer.
“Yes. I’ve never been so happy in my life,” she said with a wink. “Are you?”
I walked over to her and took her in my arms. I gently brushed my lips back and forth across hers. “Everything I’ve dreamed of and wanted is in this very room right now. You’ve made me the happiest man on Earth, Ari. I love you so much that it hurts. If I didn’t have you, Luke, and Grace…I’d be so lost. I love y’all so much. Nothing can ever come between us, Ari. Nothing.”
She smiled as I pulled her closer to me and kissed her. I was beginning to get lost in the kiss when the doorbell rang. I pulled away, and she laughed.
“Damn it, Johnson. You sure know how to make a girl horny, you know that?”
I laughed as I turned and headed to the front door. I wasn’t sure who in the hell it could be since our front gate buzzer hadn’t gone off. I smiled and opened the door, expecting it to be Gunner or Gramps, and then I instantly felt sick to my stomach.
“What in the hell are you doing here?” I looked him up and down.
He smiled and shook his head. “Now, Jefferson, is that any way to greet your father?”
When I heard what the man at the door had said, I almost dropped the jar of baby food.
Jeff’s dad is here? What in the hell is he doing here? How did he get through the gate?
I stood there, frozen. I quickly looked at Grace and then Luke. Luke was eating his yogurt and lost in his food. I grabbed the bowl of cereal and set it in front of Grace.
Oh Jesus, I’m setting myself up for a mess.
I walked around the corner and saw Jeff still standing at the door. He hadn’t asked his dad to come in.
“How did you get through the gate?” Jeff asked.
His dad let out a small laugh. “Well, it was open, and I just drove down the driveway.”
Oh my god. I put my hand up to my mouth as I thought about Sharon calling earlier and asking if she could stop by. I’d opened the gate, so she could just drive in. I’d totally forgotten.
Shit! Sharon’s coming over! I looked over at the clock. Jesus H. Christ, she’ll be here any minute.
I peeked in on the kids. Grace was dipping her finger in the cereal and looking at it, and Luke was eating his yogurt, still in heaven.
I walked up behind Jeff and put my hand on his shoulder. He didn’t bother to turn around.
“What do you want? Why are you here?” Jeff asked.
His father took a deep breath and slowly let it out. “I know I’m probably the last person you want to see, but I wanted to talk to you and Ellie. Your mother—”
“She’s moved on and has finally gotten over you. She’s getting married, and I seriously doubt she wants to see you.”
The sadness in Jeff’s father’s eyes almost made me feel sorry for him.
He nodded his head. “Your mother was my first love, Jefferson. I loved her with all my heart, and I still do.”
“Did you let Angie know how much you loved Mom while you fucked her behind Mom’s back?”
“Jeff,” I whispered.
His dad looked down. “It’s just…we had you when we were so young, and I was so scared. I felt like I had so much more in life to do, and I felt…trapped. Angie was my only way out. I never loved her like I loved your mother.”
Jeff let out a gruff laugh. “You sure have a funny way of showing your love.”
Just then, Luke came running out. “Daddy!” he screamed as he ran and grabbed on to Jeff’s leg.
The look on Jeff’s father’s face when he saw Luke made me so sad. I silently thanked God for my parents and their unconditional love.
“Your son?” Jeff’s dad said as his voice cracked.
Jeff turned and looked at me. I could see the confusion in his eyes.
He slowly turned back to his father. “Yes. I also have a daughter.”
Shit! Grace! I spun around and ran back into the kitchen.
As soon as I saw her, I busted out laughing. She had cereal everywhere, and she gave me the biggest smile ever.
