Page 56 of Protection for Nichole

She narrowed her gaze at him. “Are you sure you want me wearing this in front of other people?”

“Only on vacation where it’s appropriate. A private beach, something like that.”

She rolled her eyes and turned to step into the changing room. He put his hand on hers, stopping her.

“When we get home, you have to model that for me.”

She glanced down at his cock that was testing the fabric of the suit he was wearing. “Same.”

After picking out reasonable bathing suits, him a dark pair of board shorts, and a black bikini that Jesse said looked amazing on her, they stopped by a local coffee shop and had a snack. Once home, they jumped each other, having sex up against the entry door.

When they were outside later that afternoon, Frank stopped by to tell them that Michelle was having issues and was in the hospital. They both were shocked.

“Can we do anything?” Nichole asked.

Frank shook his head. “No, she should be home tomorrow.”

“How about we bring some food over?”

“Oh, please, no. Some of Michelle’s friends got together and filled our refrigerator and freezer. There’s no way I’ll ever be able to eat it all. We’re good. I just wanted to tell you that if you don’t see her outside for a while, that’s why.”

Nichole reached out and squeezed his hand. “Sure, and if you need something, stop by or call. I’m working from here for now, so I’m at home most days.”

Frank nodded. “How is that going for you?”

She smiled. “It’s good. It’s different from living on the East Coast or in Chicago, but I’m finding some interesting things to write about out here.”

Frank smiled, but she could tell his mind was on his wife. She hoped Michelle was fine. It would be a shame for something to happen to her.

On Monday, when Jesse went back to work, she headed out to find a dress to wear for their wedding. They were only inviting a few people, so they didn’t have to get a permit. They were going to a local bar, The Hinge, after the ceremony and meeting up with people. Danika called her when she heard about the wedding and demanded Nichole register for gifts. She’d initially said no but finally agreed to register at a discount department store. She also registered so people could give some money to charity instead of getting them gifts.

They didn’t need much and emphasized that to people who asked. Their house wasn’t big, so it wasn’t like they could put a bunch of stuff in it, anyway. Jesse liked her idea of charity registration.

The days seemed to roll past much faster than she’d expected. On Friday night, she was staying with Danika and Sharp was staying with Jesse. Rory and Ava stopped by close to nine and shared a glass of wine with them.

“You ready for marriage?” Rory asked.

She nodded. “It’s weird. I never expected to get married. I mean, it was on the back burner, like maybe one day I will get married, but I wasn’t betting on it. When I met Jesse on my vacation, I wasn’t looking for anything more than a good time.”

Ava chuckled. “I’m glad he gave you such a good time that you wanted to contact him again.”

A giggle erupted, and she shook her head. “Oh, you are bad. I’m not saying he fucked me so well I couldn’t forget him, but it was something I never forgot.”

Rory cleared her thoughts. “I never was really into sexual fantasies or thinking too much about it, but then Harry happened.”

Danika almost choked on her wine, and they all ended up laughing. “I wonder if they are all good at sex or if we just got lucky.”

Ava threw back her head, laughter spilling out. “I think they search out excellence. I mean, that’s their job. You know, doing stuff to get it right.”

Nichole nodded enthusiastically. “Jesse was the first guy to get me off without having to use a tool or my own hand.”

Ava slapped her hand over her mouth, laughter shining in her eyes. “Oh God, poor thing that you suffered through guys like that. Then again, my past is checkered with guys who hit me, and not in a fun way.”

Nichole raised her eyebrows. “Fun way?”

Ava rolled her eyes. “Nothing bad. You know, little spankings when playing.”

Nichole shook her head. “I don’t know if I’d like that.”
