TJ turned sideways and shoved his cracker toward his mother’s mouth. She scrunched up her nose and shook her head. “No thank you, baby.”

He shoved the gummy side back into his mouth as if it was all the same to him.

“Well, I’m going to let you two get back to bed and get this one off to his play program,” Ellen said while grabbing TJ’s wristagain and waving to the screen. “I’m really happy for you both. Say goodbye to Uncle Jack and Auntie Summer.”

“Bye bye, Dada Yak! Sum sum!” TJ babbled through a mouth full of crackers.

Summer blew kisses to the boy. “Nice to meet you, Ellen. See you soon!”

“I love you, TJ. Love you too, Ellen,” I croaked, emotion clogging my throat.

“And we love you, Jack. Until next week.” She waved and smiled.

I took a quick screenshot of her and TJ’s cheesy smiles and waving hands. I liked to do that and then put it as the background on my laptop, so I had them with me every day.

Summer watched silently as I changed the background to their image.

“You realize that’s the most adorable thing you’ve ever done right?” She pointed at the screen, and I could feel my cheeks heat.

“I don’t take the people I have in my life for granted. I learned the hard way that nothing is forever.” I nuzzled her neck followed by a long line of kisses.

She stretched her neck out so I could reach lower toward the V of her robe. I kissed my way along her clavicle, nipping at the tender flesh lightly. Summer hummed into the attention and threaded her fingers through the hair on the back of my head.

“Shall we go back to bed?” she mumbled, which turned into a moan as I reached a bare breast and encircled the pebbled nipple with my tongue.

I lifted her as I sucked on her succulent tip then pulled away with an audibleplop. “Do you have any idea how hot you make me? Every time you’re near, I want to ravish every inch of you, and when I’m done, I want to start all over again.”

Her fingers tightened in my hair. “If the heat is anything like how horny you make me, then I’m imaging a volcano with bubbling lava.”

I burst into laughter. This woman, no matter what the situation, always surprised me. Whether it was with her body, her actions, or in this case, her word choices.

“I make you as horny as bubbling lava?” I chuckled as I climbed each set of stairs heading to her bedroom.

“Why is that so funny?”

We made it to the bed, and I tossed her on it like I did the first time we made love. I gripped her ankles and tugged her down to the edge where I knelt to worship her.

“Let me see your scalding hot core,” I teased through my chortles and attempted to spread her legs.

She held them tightly together and seared me with a playful glare. “No way! If you’re going to make fun of my analogies, then you get no hot core!” She harrumphed as if she truly thought she could go without, even after she was already worked up. I knew Summer biblically now, and not only did she run hot as lava, but her sex drive was also higher than my own.

I leaned forward and placed a kiss onto one kneecap and then the other.

“I’m sorry I made fun of your bubbling lava-filled hot core.” I snorted and tried to cover my snickering behind kisses to her knees.

She puffed out her bottom lip. “Are you really sorry though…” Her legs started to tremble as I dragged my lips down one lengthy thigh. I ran my tongue back up the silky skin to her knee, and she sighed, loosening her grip.

I spread her legs wide and stared at her perfect cunt.

“Let me show you how sorry I am by making it up to you.” I licked my lips, ready to feast on her pretty flesh.

“Okay,” she quipped. “That sounds fair.”

I couldn’t help but chuckle as I covered herhot corewith my mouth.

Later that day, we were at the farm, making wedding plans with Ann and Bernie. I’d called the Johansens and they were delighted to hear I was getting married. They agreed to fly with Ellen and TJ. Erik and Savannah would meet us here after the last leg of their month-long honeymoon.
