“Be careful,” he hisses catching his breath, yanking his shirt over his head.
“Oh, I’m going to be very careful.”
Pushing his jeans and briefs to his knees, I reach out and caress his thighs. The muscles twitch and his erection throbs as my fingers get closer and closer. I tease and enjoy the sensation of touching him this way.
He’s heavily aroused, the leaking tip pointing directly at my mouth. Slipping my tongue between my lips, I gently lick at the precum and feel Derek shudder.
“Madison,” he groans. “Oh fuck!”
“Mmm,” I moan and take him into my mouth. If possible, his flesh gets harder, longer, more excitement leaks onto my tongue. With one hand I grab his ass, keeping him still while the other reaches between his legs, playing with his balls.
I glance up and start watching Derek as he watches me love him with my mouth. He caresses my face with a hand that trembles, his belly quivering as his eyes flutter closed and his head falls back.
Smiling around him, I know I have him, so I take as much of him as I can to the back of my throat, and tongue the sensitive underside as his hands grab hold of my hair. He doesn’t hurt me, but it’s turning me on so much bringing him pleasure.
Sucking and licking him like the best popsicle ever, I get a seconds warning and then he erupts down my throat. His guttural cry has me panting around him while I encourage his release.
He tries to gently move me off of him, but I shake my head, moaning around him. He hisses sharply between his teeth, but I don’t stop until I’ve taken everything he’s giving to me.
“Madison,” he hisses. “You really have to stop otherwise I’m going to be on my ass on the floor.”
Giggling, I slowly let him pop out of my mouth and watch as he sits on the edge of the bed before dropping back. I stand over him and tease, “You came with your pants around your knees.”
His eyes pop wide and then he laughs. “So, I did. You bring out the, um, release in me.”
Shaking my head, I struggle with his boots and jeans, and toss his briefs into the pile of clothing, my own following. “It’s really hot watching how you react to me…it makes me ache,” I whisper, crawling up his body. “It makes me long to have you inside of me. Loving me.” I lay my hands on his chest and slide my fingers into the short coarse hair hiding his nipples.
I lower my body over his, straddling his hips. The friction against my core makes my breasts throb, my nipples tightening into peaks. “I want to feel you moving inside of me.”
Derek’s eyes darken, and a dark flush covers his cheekbones. “Put me inside,” he begs. “Now Madison before I’m embarrassing myself.”
Giggling, it turns into a moan when I rise up and grasp the huge penis at Derek’s groin. I tease us both by rubbing the head of him over my clit, making me wetter and him harder.
Reaching up, Derek cups my breasts in his large hands and plays with my nipples, bringing my body to the edge of release with just a few sharp nips. I dip my head and watch as he leaks in pleasure, his stomach quivering.
With a tight fist wrapped around him, I slowly lower myself on him, watching as he disappears, inch by glorious inch. By the time I’m fully seated we’re both breathing heavily, and Derek has his hands clenched tightly around the covers beneath him, his whole body a tight coil ready to explode.
My body tingles from head to toe with the deepest and most intense sensation centered between my legs. My core pulses and clenches around the thick penis currently throbbing inside of me.
I rest my hands on his chest and use that to push myself up and slowly slide up to the tip. The feeling is incredible. Derek grasps my hips and tugs me back down, grinding up as he does. He makes me feel so wet and swollen that I’m sure with one more thrust he’ll take me to heaven and back.
His hands tremble on my hips and holding his gaze, he slowly lifts me off of him before slamming me back down while grinding up. I lose my mind in that moment as the pleasure in my body takes over and I can’t think of anything else.
I clench and pulsate on his large cock and feel when he can no longer hold his own release. His penis jerks and kicks, warmth squirting inside of me while I slowly quiver, milking everything he has.
Unable to catch a breath, I find myself wrapped around Derek with my legs tangled up in his and our arms wrapped comfortably around each other. My heart hammers against my breast, like I can feel Derek’s doing. We’re still connected in the most primal of ways and the longer we stay this way, the harder he becomes.
I’m too exhausted to even think about doing it again, all I want is to nap in his arms. Derek has other ideas though, and gently rolls me to my back.
He makes love to me slowly, delicately, and intensely, and we both burst into pleasure at the end before falling into a blissful sleep, wrapped up in each other.

Derek
Since I’ve been spending my nights, and days, with Madison, I’ve discovered areas of my body that I didn’t know I had. Either that or it’s my age. But either way, I ache in places where Madison massages every night, to loosen me up she says. I think it’s just an excuse to get her hands on me, not that she really needs one.
I don’t have a problem remembering my age because she makes me feel younger, but when I do, I struggle with what I’m doing. I’m in love with her but I’m not sure whether I should continue to encourage her, letting her think we have a future, or whether I should be the responsible one and end things. If I ended what we have she wouldn’t be the only one heartbroken, which is why I’m finding this more difficult than I should.
It doesn’t help that I’m aware Tanner doesn’t agree with my choice in partner, and that bothers me more than I care to admit. I’d told Madison that I was in this with her regardless of his feelings on the matter, but I’m not sure anymore. I’m not really sure of anything.
The one thing that I am sure of, is that I love her.
The love I have for her is so fresh and different to anything I’ve ever experienced before that I know I want to keep it…but am I being selfish? Madison has a lot more years left than I do, but I’m also aware that could change—god forbid.
My friend Garrett is of similar age and he’s a changed man now that he has a family and kids. His wife is Madison’s cousin and she’s a similar age, so why am I having so much trouble accepting what I’m doing?
I know why, and he’s currently riding into the stables on his stallion with Geary.
Tanner has been my number one priority since he’d been born, more so after his mother had died. His acceptance of my relationship would mean more to me than I think he knows— far more than I’ve let on to Madison.
I glance to the end of the deck where Madison is cuddled up with her cousin, my daughter-in-law, and softly smile when she notices my gaze set on her. She so beautiful and she never fails to take my breath away.
The sick feeling that I have in my stomach grows and watching Madison’s smile turn into a frown as she notices my grimace, I realize that I need to have a deep talk with my son.
I love Tanner, but I also love Madison and don’t want to lose either of them.
With a strong purpose driving my steps, I head toward the barn and nod to Geary who shakes his head before leaving me alone with Tanner. Geary is aware of what is going on because he sees every damn thing. He’s too observant for his own good sometimes.
“Geary, can you grab—” Tanner pauses when he sees me standing behind him, and not Geary as he’d expected.
“We need to talk, and I figured it would be best for us to be alone.”
Tanner sighs and starts brushing his stallion down, giving him time to cool down. “I don’t know what you want me to say Dad.”
“I’m not sure what I want you to say either or what I want to say, maybe we could start with your objections to my relationship with Madison?”
He scoffs. “Relationship? Is that what you’re calling it.”
Holding my temper in check
, I push forward. “You like Madison. She’s part of your family now.”
“I don’t like her with you. It just isn’t right.” He tosses the brush onto the workstation and indicates for me to follow him as he leads his horse into the paddock where he has fresh food and water waiting for him. “I know Garrett found someone much younger than him, but he didn’t have a fully-grown son who is two years older than her.” He sighs and leans on the fence.
My heart hurts realizing just how set against us he truly is. “Won’t you at least give it time, get to know Madison better?” I run my hands through my hair. “I love her, Tanner. I’ve been falling in love with her from the moment we met and I’m not sure what to do with all the feelings running around inside of me. I thought that if I had your blessing, they would ease. I’d be settled on the inside.”
“Dad,” Tanner starts, his voice full of emotion, “I love you. You’ve always been there for me, supported me…I’m just not sure I can support you in this. It’s weird.” He finally meets my gaze. “I always thought that when you met someone that she would be closer in age to you. I didn’t expect this.”
“You know yourself how you can fall in love in the blink of an eye. I never expected to ever find a love for the second time, but I have. I love her. It’s as simple as that.”
“But there’s nothing simple about it.”
“It really is simple. We love each other. I want to be with her and live here on the ranch. She loves it here and hates the city and I guess the only thing standing in our way is you.”
Tanner shakes his head. “Dad, don’t put that on me.”
“It’s the truth. At the end of the day I know myself well enough to know that if you really are against me being with Madison, I’ll walk away, no matter how much it breaks both of our hearts.”
“Then I’m going to feel like a complete bastard.” Tanner drops his head into his hands, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and then looks at me from under his lower lids. “Let her go to Boston with Charlotte to visit Paige, and then see how you feel without her around. If you miss her like crazy and she does you, then I’ll welcome her into the Jackson family.”
I hadn’t planned on Madison going anywhere, but I do know she’s worried how Paige is doing. Life is all about compromise, so I can do this. “I’ll never stop Madison from going anywhere she wishes, especially when it involves family. I just don’t understand why you can’t accept her now, but you say you will later. It’s not fair Tanner, you’re hurting her too.”
“Dad, not only will it give me time to get used to the idea, but it will show me that your relationship is meant to last.” He groans. “My wife isn’t going to be happy when I admit what we’ve talked about.” He winces. “She loves Madison and she’ll be so mad that I’ve interfered.”
“Should have kept your mouth shut then, huh? Lumpy sofa for you tonight,” I joke, but my heart still feels heavy.
I turn to leave but Tanner places a hand on my arm. “I love you, Dad, and just want you to be happy, even if that ends up being with Madison.”
Sighing, I pull him into my arms for a hug. “I love you too, son.”
Backing away, I wave and head toward the house where I find Madison waiting on the deck. Her complexion is pale, and she fidgets with her hands. The first words out of her mouth are, “Tanner isn’t happy.” She inhales and meets my gaze. “Charlotte told me, she’s also asked me to go and visit Paige with her. My cousin is one of my weaknesses right now, and I really would like to visit her. See with my own eyes how she’s doing.”
She takes a step to meet me and wraps her arms around my neck. “Paige has a habit of lying through her teeth, so the family won’t worry.” Her eyes fill with tears. “I want to go and visit her, but I’m afraid that if I do, you won’t want me when I get back.”
Angry with myself for listening to Tanner, I wrap her tightly in my arms. I breathe in her scent and know that she’ll come home to me. “This is where your home is Madison. It’s here with me, and I’ll be waiting, and please don’t let Tanner persuade you otherwise.”
She pulls back and frowns. “What has Tanner said?”
“What did Charlotte say?” I counter.
“You have me worried,” Madison says. “Charlotte only told me that Tanner wasn’t fully on board with us, but she had confidence that he will be eventually.” She searches my gaze anxiously.
“He really doesn’t want you with me, huh?” her voice breaks gently as her eyes become glassy with tears.
I cup her face when the tears fall. “Madison, listen to me. I love you, honey, and my son will come around eventually. He likes you, he just wasn’t expecting you to get together with his father.” I offer a wry smile.
She smiles through her tears. “He must have been the only one who didn’t figure it out. Everyone else knew or suspected something.”
“That’s true.” I grin. “When we had the siesta earlier, I didn’t think it would have to hold us both until you return.” I kiss her forehead and then her sweet lips. “I want you to have a really good time with your family, and I’ll be right here waiting when you’re ready to come home.”
“Oh boy!” She blows out a shaky breath. “I wish Paige was well enough to travel so she could come here instead.” Her hold behind my neck tightens. “I’m being soft, wanting to stay here with you.” She moves back and wipes at her tears. “I’m sorry for the sad tears, there’ll be plenty of happy ones when I get back.”
Taking my hand, she urges me to follow. “Help me pack.” She winks. “You can inspect me for illegal substances.”

Madison
Although I’m really missing Derek, I’m also very happy to be here with Paige. Olivia is also here, along with Charlotte, and our host, Seth, who has been nothing but amazing. It’s nice to watch Paige with him and she’s almost embarrassed by his constant attention.
Seth is a little bit taller than Paige, with jet black hair and a nice athletic build. He’s certainly easy on the eyes, and the fact that he’s put everything on hold to be here with her, makes him all the more attractive.
He’s currently moving away from us after delivering water and sandwiches, and so to wind Paige up, Charlotte, Olivia and I drop our sunglasses to the tip of our noses and watch him.
“I can’t believe you three,” Paige grouches. “Leave him alone.”
“It’s too much fun,” Olivia offers with a shrug. “And I’m still single.” She grins, causing Paige to narrow her gaze.
“That really wasn’t funny.” Paige smiles as she sips her water through a straw.
“Talking about you being single,” I direct at Olivia, “I’ve found you a really nice cowboy, goes by the name Geary.”
Charlotte spits her drink out, choking. “Really?”
Olivia looks down her nose at Charlotte, which makes us chuckle. “How nice?”
I think for a moment to tease her, and reply, “Major hot. If I wasn’t in love with Derek, then I would never have mentioned you to him.” I smirk. “He’s waiting for you to visit so he can sweep you off your feet.”
Olivia narrows her eyes and turns to Charlotte. “I take it you know this Geary? Is he as hot as Madison says?”
“If you promise not to repeat this to Tanner, then I’ll tell you, he is hotter than hot.”
“You two are making fun of me,” Olivia complains.
I grab her hand. “Olivia, I know we tease because we never see you out of a business suit, but I promise you that I’ve told Geary all about you, and he really is good looking. He’s a good guy and works for Derek. He has a dirty mouth and I bet it gets dirtier the hotter the situation is, if you know what I mean.” I grin knowing I have her. “He’ll burn your panties right off.”
“Oh, can we not talk about sex,” Paige complains.
Charlotte, Olivia, and I glance at each other before turning our eyes onto Paige.
“You’re alone with sex on legs?” Charlotte states.
Paige blushes
and looks to be squirming where she sits, bundled up on the sun lounger. “It’s not like that with Seth.”
“Excuse me, but no guy puts his life on hold without real feelings being involved,” I drawl. “That man is in love with you, so open your eyes Paige, and give him a break.”
Tears swiftly come into Paige’s eyes, catching us all off guard. It takes a moment but then Charlotte moves to go to her. Paige shakes her off. “I’m okay. I think.” She gives us a nervous laugh through her tears.
“I thought my treatment was over with when Seth brought me out to his family beach house.” Paige sighs. “I love it here. It’s peaceful.” She’s quiet so we sit in silence. “Then my doctor called and gave me the news that I had to do a round of intense chemo.” She reaches up toward her head but drops her hand back down. “Seth refused to leave me but look at me. I’m not the same person who started this journey. I get sick so easily. I don’t have the strength to go for walks along the beach, and my hair is falling out. How can he look at me? He can’t possibly find me attractive.” She hiccups on a sob.
What Paige doesn’t know is that Seth is standing a few feet behind her lounge chair. He swallows a few times, his eyes never moving from Paige. Crossing to Paige, and much to her shock, he sits on the side of her lounge chair, taking her hands into his. “You have a hard head Paige McKenzie. I’ve been telling you how I feel without actually saying the words for a long time now. Your hair doesn’t make you Paige McKenzie. That’s inside of you. I’m not going to run a mile because you wear headscarfs or even a wig. I’m not going to say exactly how I feel because I don’t think you’re ready to hear it, but I am going to tell you that I think you’re beautiful both inside and out.” He quickly kisses her on the lips and leaves as silently as he arrived.
