Max’s face peers out of the side window, his face a big grin. I drop down into a curtsy, my robe billowing with my triumphant gesture. I look down to see my boob, completely out of my robe. He crooks his finger towards me, and a huge smile crosses my lips as I pull out a strip of condoms, warning him that I will do my damnedest to use them all.

He saw the raccoons. He’s getting laid repeatedly. I gave him a child.

I’m making all his dreams come true.

Max

Thursday

I’ve been awake for fifteen minutes, but I can’t bear to wake her. Emily lays on my bare chest, naked under this sheet, her hair tickling my nostrils. Bending an elbow, I tuck my hand under my head, looking at the wood panels on the ceiling, breathing out in satisfaction.

If I could, I would live in this moment forever.

When Emily and I had sex ten years ago, it was mind-blowing for me, but I knew it wasn’t good for Emily, since it was her first time. I tried my best, warming her up with my tongue and fingers, giving her first orgasm, but penetration was still uncomfortable for her. She promised me it was good, the best first time she could ask for.

However, I always carried the weight that she might’ve been fibbing to save face.

This time was our redo. My chance to redeem it for us, and it was fucking incredible.

I’ve never come some hard, been shook to my core so much so that it rearranged everything I knew about how intense sex could be, how obsessed I could be with a woman. It was more than attraction and lust. Seeing her with our daughter, how she nailed motherhood, how she negotiated with raccoons by offering them Cheetos, I almost dropped to one knee when she reached the tiny house’s door.

Instead, I took her in my arms and fucked her with abandon.

We fed each other pretzels like lovesick weirdos and fell asleep in an exhausted heap in the wee hours of the night. Her soft snoring soothed me, and I slept like the dead with her in my arms.

Now, the crack between the curtains and the window frame lets in a sliver of light, illuminating her face. In that moment, my dad’s dental practice be damned. My hometown be damned. All I want to do is stay here, in this bed, with her.

“Hey,” she whispers, smacking her lips and looking up at me with hooded eyes. “Oh, good, it wasn’t a dream.”

“No, all of that really happened.”

“Thank God,” she says. “Do you care about morning breath?”

“Absolutely not.”

She scrunches her nose in a cute as hell way and kisses me, our breath through our noses in sync. The kiss deepens, and our tongues pass each other’s. My nails trail down her bare back, and she shivers. The sheet drops as she climbs on top of me, her nipples erect and close to my face. I take one in my mouth and let it go with a pop as she whimpers. Her pussy grinds against my erection, and I better sheathe myself soon before we make another baby.

Even with an IUD, knowing us, we would find a way to create another human before we figured all our stuff out.

“You’ve got to stop grinding on me,” I say.

“Well, get a condom on.” She lowers her lips to my neck, kissing up to my ear, licking my lobe.

“Yes, ma’am,” I say, standing up naked, walking to the strip of condoms we obliterated last night, a small pile of ripped foil building.

“Damn,” Emily says from behind me.

Turning, I ask, “What?”

“Just this view. It’s a shame I live with a nine-year-old. I would demand you be naked all the time. Your butt is too cute.”

Emily’s head is propped on her hand, her elbow digging into the couch. I chuckle as I roll a condom onto my swollen cock. “Good thing our daughter likes your mother. My mother will help too. So we can have proper adult naked time regularly.”

“Oh, you know exactly how to get me aroused, Max. Babysitting.”

“Anything to make you titillated, babe.” Dropping a knee on the couch, I kiss her, picking up right where we left off. Last night, she really enjoyed being on top, so I spun her, sinking her onto my aching erection, letting her ride me. It’s slow at first, lazy, and then she picks up the pace. Her hands plant on my chest as my hands roaming to her breasts, to her hips, to her ass. My thumb strums her clit as she rides me, her moans beautiful and long. She comes and then I do, and she drops on top of me.
