“I think I might need to go there and talk to him,” Elisa said.
Myra nodded but didn’t seem to think that was a good idea if her expression was any indication.
“I’m sorry,” she said. “We shouldn’t have stayed here.”
“What? Yes, we should have.” Elisa turned to her. “I’ll admit that I have no idea what their schedules are right now.He was supposed to be here initially. Then, he wanted to go there to hang out with his friends and changed the plans you two made to go review the plans.”
“I doubt he’ll want to go with me now.”
“I don’t think this is about you. He’s going through a lot, but I thought he was at his dad’s, and I didn’t expect him to walk in on us. I’m sorry. I’ll talk to him and take care of it.”
“I’m here, you know?” Myra asked, rubbing her back.
“I know. Thank you,” Elisa replied.
CHAPTER 31
“Wow!”
“You said that already,” Myra noted.
“I know, but… Wow,” Melinda repeated. “Really, it’s a wow thing.”
“What’s a wow thing?” Jill asked, walking into the small back office of NOLA Guides.
“Elisa’s son walked in on Myra and Elisa doing it,” Melinda answered.
“Mel!” Myra exclaimed.
“Oh, I was at the counter, so I heard you already. I was just trying to be polite and pretend like I hadn’t just heard Mel here yell your news to the whole building,” Jill replied. “Luckily for you, though, no one else was here. We do have a part-timer coming in, like, five minutes, and he’s only seventeen, so maybe keep it rated PG-13 in here when he gets in.”
“He didn’t walk in on usdoing it,” Myra said. “That’s crass.”
“Fine. He walked in on you making love,” Melinda corrected. “With his mother.”
“Yes, he did. And it was horribly awkward and one of the many reasons I never planned on having children: I never wanted to have to stop doing that because one of them just opened the door and walked into the bedroom or called for us right outside the locked door, needing attention right there and then, or to stop having it altogether because the kids are so draining that we have no energy left over for each other.”
“But her kids are older,” Jill offered. “And as someone who recently had a child for a very brief period of time, sex is totally possible with them around. It’s themotherswalking in unexpectedly and finding your used and uncleaned harness and dildo on the floor that you have to worry about.”
“Did your mom find–”
“Yes,” Jill said, interrupting Melinda. “She told me lastweek that the first time she met my girlfriend, when she just magically reappeared after leaving me with my ten-year-old sister, she had, in fact, seen the thing we had used the night before on the floor because we’d forgotten about it.That’san awkward conversation.”
“Sure. But does your brand-new girlfriend, who’s never been with a woman before you, happen to have an eighteen-year-old son who was supposed to be at his father’s house but who just showed up and opened the bedroom door while his mother was naked and on top of you with a dildo inside her? He rushed in because he’d just heard his mother scream so loudly that he thought someone was hurting her when, in reality, it was both of you screaming because the orgasms were just so good, you couldn’t hold it in.”
Jill pretended to think about it and replied, “No, I can’t say that’s ever happened. Willa doesn’t have any kids, though, and if she ends up with them, I’m kind of hoping they’ll be mine.”
“Then, I’d suggest putting the strap-on away the moment you’re done or locking the door, at least,” Myra said.
“Hey.”
“Speak of the devil,” Melinda said when Willa walked into the office.
“I’m a devil?” Willa asked Jill.
“Sometimes. But I like it,” Jill replied and gripped her girlfriend’s hips. “Want to hear a funny sex story?”
“Jill!” Myra laughed.
