“It is now.”
He had a late dinner meeting with a potential client who wanted to sell some land in Colorado, so once again, Lucy was already in bed when he got home. He only briefly saw her the next morning before he dashed out of the house. Micah got home just when they were finishing up dinner.
Micah was exhausted but knew that Lucy’s ovulation window was closing. He showered and knocked on her suite door.
“I was hoping I would see you,” she said.
“Have you missed me?”
“No, of course not,” Lucy teased.
“Take off your clothes and lay on your stomach.”
“Direct and to the point, I see. No foreplay,” Lucy said as she obeyed his command.
Micah undressed, too. He poured a dab of warmed oil into his hands and massaged her legs, starting just above her ankles and working his way up to her ass. His fingers kneaded her butt.
She moaned. “Now I know there are two things you could do if your business goes belly up.”
“Already planning on how to use me,” he said.
“You know it.”
He massaged her lower back and all the way to her shoulders. Micah loved the moans and mewing sounds. He was getting hard just from touching her.
“Turn over.”
She obeyed and closed her eyes as he massaged her shoulders, her breasts, and her stomach. He worked his way down to her ankles. She purred as he rubbed her body.
“Turn back over and get on your hands and knees.”
Lucy quickly obeyed. Micah pushed two fingers inside of her and grinned. She was more than ready for him.
He pushed inside of her with one swift move. Micah gripped her hips, as their bodies rocked back and forth in a rhythm that only their souls could hear. She began to moan loudly and she exploded. He erupted moments later.
“I read that if the woman comes within a minute or so when the man does, it sucks the sperm inside of her, helping the whole getting pregnant thing to happen.”
“It’s a good thing I know how to make your body scream,” he said.
“I can’t complain.”
Micah was busy for the next couple of days. He left right after breakfast and didn’t return until everyone was in bed. Saturday, though, he had a reprieve.
When they were alone, he said, “I’m sorry I haven’t been home.”
“It’s okay. It’s not like we’re a couple or anything. You don’t owe me an explanation.”
He thought that he detected a little bit of sadness in her statement.
Does she want to be a couple? Micah was a little shocked to discover that he wasn’t upset by the idea.
“How about if I take you to Carlsbad Caverns?”
“Sounds fun.”
They had a great time. Micah couldn’t remember when he had so much fun with another person. He had been so focused on work that he hadn’t made time for fun. When he was little, his mother tried to take him to do something fun once in a while, but because his father was such a jerk, fun outings were few and far between.
Micah realized that it wasn’t just the outing itself that was fun. It was Lucy. They hung out Sunday, watched movies, and went for a walk on the mountain. He almost dreaded going back to work, because he had enjoyed himself so much.
