He shook his head and went back to cooking with her. She was making one of the desserts when he walked up behind her and kissed her neck softly. Her body shivered at his touch. It amazed her that he still caused the same reactions in her as he did years ago.
They finished everything they could and decided to watch a movie. It was late and they would need to be up pretty early to finish preparing for dinner. Sandy walked out of the room while John was turning on the television. She walked back into the room with bowls of ice cream and cookies. John laughed when he saw what she had.
“Don't say a word,” she said. “I bought it for us. That means you have to have some.”
“Under one condition,” he said.
“What?” she asked.
“You stay tomorrow night as well so I can work off the calories from this food,” he said.
“I guess I could make that sacrifice to keep you looking so fine,” she answered.
John reached over and began to tickle her. She squirmed to set down the bowls before they tumbled to the ground.
“Stop,” she snapped. “I hate being tickled.”
“Then why are you laughing?” he asked.
It was the same thing he said a million times when they were dating. Something about being tickled was so creepy to her. She couldn't stand it, but she couldn't help but laugh.
“Stop,” she said.
“I see that hasn't changed,” he said with a smile.
“There's a lot that hasn't changed,” she said with a grin.
Sandy picked up the bowls and handed one to John. They turned on a movie of his choice. It wasn't a lovey movie, but she didn't care as long as she was with him. She would pick the movie the next night. It was how they had always done it. They ate their snacks, and she could feel her eyes closing. He leaned back against the corner of the couch and pulled her back against him. With his arms wrapped around her, she drifted off to sleep. His arms were warm and loving. That was what she had missed most. She enjoyed the way he loved her and would have given anything to have that again.
She opened her eyes to light coming through the window and looked around. He was tangled in the sheets with his arms around her.
“Morning,” he whispered.
“How did I get here?” she asked.
“You looked so peaceful last night. I didn't want to wake you up, so I carried you to bed.”
“I'm so sorry I fell asleep,” she said.
“That's okay,” he said. “I liked having you in my arms. I could have watched you sleep all night if I wasn't so tired myself.”
She looked over at the clock and jumped up.
“We need to get moving. I want everything to be perfect for your friends. I can't believe I slept so long. I'm usually up by eight on the weekends. It's already noon.”
“Come back to bed for a few. I'll make it quick. Give me fifteen minutes.”
“Who are you kidding? You know damn well fifteen minutes isn't going to do anything but drive us both crazy. Get up and help me. I don't want your friends to think I can't cook.”
“Okay,” he said. “I want you to know something. When the last of my friends leaves my front door tonight, I'm going to show you just how much I need you. I'm going to kiss every inch of your body. You're going to yell out my name over and over while you come harder than you have yet. I'm going to spank your ass and take you from behind. I'm going to drive my cock so deep and hard inside of you, and you're going to beg me to stop. I'm going to handcuff you to my bed.”
He stood up and her eyes went straight to his rock hard cock. Her breathing deepened as he stepped closer to her.
“I'm going to fuck you with my fingers, and I'm going to fuck your mouth. You're going to take all of me deep into the back of your throat. Just when you think you can't take anymore, I'm going to start all over again.”
He leaned in and whispered in her ear.
“Just remember that when my friends are sitting at the table with us. I want you to think about what's going to happen when they leave. I want you wet between your thighs all day while you wait for what's to come tonight.”
“John,” she gasped. “Fifteen minutes. I need you.”
He turned, smacked her ass, and pulled on boxers and a pair of jeans over his cock.
“No time, baby,” he said. “We don't want my friends to think you can't cook. That's what you said.”
“John,” she moaned.
He stepped forward, grabbed the back of her head, and claimed her mouth hard. Then, he pulled away and walked out of the room. She was left dripping wet from his words, as she brushed her fingers across her swollen lips.
Chapter 22
John walked back into his house to find Sandy working away in the kitchen in one of his t-shirts. He could see straight through it that she had no panties on. She bent to pick something up from the floor and gave him a full shot of what she had to offer him. He let out a growl and quickly crossed the kitchen to her. When he grabbed her ass and pulled her against him, she pulled back.
“We have work to do,” she said with a smirk.
“I see how it's going to be. Do you think it's funny to tease me, woman?” he asked.
She gave a little shrug as she sucked her bottom lip into her mouth.
“Are you going to help, or are you just going to stand there?” she asked.
He shook his head and walked back out of the room. She let out a laugh just as he rounded the corner. He turned and stalked back into the kitchen. When he came up behind her, he pressed her body into the counter with his. His jean covered cock pushed against her ass. He heard her breath hitch as he pushed her forward. John grabbed her hips and ground into her. She bent forward over the counter and shoved back against him. His hand came back and smacked her ass. Her cry bounced from the walls. He rubbed his hand over her to sooth the sting and she moaned. His fingers went between her legs, as he rubbed her wetness and shoved his finger inside of her. Her hands grabbed the other side of the counter as he added a second finger. He leaned over and sucked her neck, as he continued to drive his fingers into her deep. His body was hard against hers as it held her to the counter. She tried to move back against him, but he kept her still.
“Fuck,” she cried out. “John.”
He continued to thrust his fingers in deep and fast.
“Are you going to tease me again?” he asked.
“No,” she cried out. “Yes.”
“Are you?” he asked.
John hooked his fingers and reached a spot that had her panting and moving against him.
“Maybe,” she answered.
John pulled his fingers from inside of her. She turned to look in his eyes. He lifted his fingers to his lips and sucked them until all of her juices were gone. She moaned as he sucked his fingers. He pulled them from his mouth with a pop.
“They'll be here soon.”
She stood staring at him. He waited for her to say something, but she didn't. Her eyes were glued to his as she stood frozen. He could see her nipples hard beneath her shirt. It took all he had not to take her on that counter. The day was going to be longer for him than it was for her. He needed her to spend the day wanting that release he wasn't giving her. John knew that when she finally came, it was going to be amazing.
“You should probably put some clothes on. I don't like the idea of my friends seeing your nipples or your pussy. Those are mine.”
Sandy shook her head and turned to walk away.
“Sandy,” he called after her.
She stopped and turned to look at him.
“Don't even think about,” he said. “That orgasm is mine as well.”
He gave her a quick wink before smiling from ear to ear. She let out a growl of her own and walked away.
John opened the door when he heard Ethan's car pull up. The two looked much better, as they got out of the car.
“I can't wait to see what you made for us. This is a first,” Julie teased. “Can my new brother cook?”
She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. John heard Ethan growl and couldn't resist. He wrapped his arms around her and twirled her around. Ethan snatched her out of his arms and pulled her close to him. John and Julie burst into laughter.
“She's my woman,” Ethan said. “Go find your own.”
Sandy walked up behind them just as Ethan finished his sentence.
“Sandy,” Ethan said. “It's nice to see you again.”
“You too,” she said.
Julie's eyes widened as she looked between John and Sandy. She walked over and hugged Sandy.
“It's nice to see you again. How are your kids?” Julie asked.
“Good,” Sandy answered. “I'm happy everything went well for you.”
“Thank you,” Julie said. “I'm so happy with how it turned out. We're going to Hawaii to look at houses. When we get back, you should have your son come over and check out Ethan's games. Your daughter and her family are welcome as well. You can even bring John with you if you want. I'll make dinner for everyone.”
“I couldn't,” Sandy said.
“Of course you can,” Ethan said. “I'm looking forward to meeting him.”
“You're going to get a house?” John asked.
Gavin and Becky pulled up and joined them on the porch. John looked down at Becky's belly and rubbed it. Gavin cleared his throat and pulled Becky closer to him.
“What a bunch of men,” Julie said, as she shook her head. “You guys are something else with your protective bullshit.”
Gavin pulled her into his arms and looked over at Ethan.
“You growl at me and I'll beat your ass. She's my sister,” Gavin said.
“She's my wife,” Ethan snapped. “It's my job to protect her. I'd die for my woman.”
“I appreciate that,” Gavin said.
“Are you sure you're not having a giant baby?” John asked.
“John,” Sandy said from right behind him.
“Look at her,” he said.
“It's okay,” Becky said, as she pulled John into a hug. “I am huge.”
Sandy caught herself giving Becky a look at the same time that Julie saw it.
“You too,” Julie said.
John turned around and looked at Sandy.
“What?” John asked.
“Nothing,” Julie said. “I've been meaning to talk to you about that Becky. When do you have another ultrasound? Can I go with you?”
“Three weeks,” Becky answered. “Who is this?”
She was looking at Sandy.
“This is Sandy,” John said. “This is Becky and Gavin. Gavin is Julie's brother. I'm her favorite though.”
“I don't think so,” Gavin said. “It's nice to meet you Sandy.”
Becky pulled her into a hug.
“Hello, Sandy,” she said.
“Sandy was the woman in the accident that night John left without his cheesecake,” Julie jumped in to say.
“Really?” Becky asked.
Josh and Lisa pulled up. She got out of the car, and Josh got baby Jack out.
“This is Josh, Lisa, and baby Jack,” John said. “This is Sandy.”
“She was in that accident that night he left here,” Becky said with a smirk.
“Rescue of love,” Lisa said.
“You wouldn't know anything about that, Lisa,” Becky said with a smile.
She turned to Sandy.
“Josh is a firefighter. He rescued Lisa from a fire and didn't even know it was the girl that used to have a crush on him.”
“Wow,” Sandy said.
Julie looked at Lisa.
“Are you feeling okay?” she asked her.
“Yes,” Lisa answered. “I'm fine.”
Julie tilted her head to the side and nodded with a smirk. John reached over and took baby Jack. He turned and opened the door.
“We should probably move the party inside. Where's Heath?'” John asked.
“He text about ten minutes ago and said he wasn't going to be able to come. Something about a house he's working on and the pain-in-the-ass owner. He can't leave,” Lisa said.
***
Sandy and the other ladies went into the kitchen while she finished up what she was making. John went outside with the guys while he grilled steaks. Ethan had baby Jack in his arms. Sandy caught Julie looking at him with the sweetest look on her face.
“Are you planning on having little ones?” Sandy asked.
“Eventually,” Julie answered. “I'll let Becky and Lisa have the fun right now. We're going to look for a house in Hawaii next week. I might go back to work. We have to see what happens before we add on to our family.”
All the ladies perked up.
“Does Gavin know about Hawaii?” Becky asked.
“Nope,” she answered. “I didn't ask his permission. We are staying at Chris' while we look. It's all I've thought about since the wedding. If I could, I would buy his house. He won't let me. There are a few for sale on the same strip of beach. We could all live close together. You ladies should get your men working on it, but not until I pick my house first.”
“That sounds amazing,” Sandy said. “John mentioned something about a house in Hawaii.”
“I'm sure he did,” Julie said with a smirk.
“What's that about?” Becky asked.
“Nothing,” Julie said, as she winked at Sandy. “He's thinking about making some changes. About that giant baby.”
“Shut up,” Becky snapped. “It's your brother's fault.”
They included Sandy in their conversation and made her feel like one of the gang. She felt as if she had known them forever. Everyone but Becky helped her carry stuff to the table. John and the guys came in with the steaks at the same time. John grabbed baby Jack while everyone else made their plates. Sandy asked if she could hold the little one. He went right to her. John got everyone drinks. He had a soda for him and one for Sandy.
“Don't you want a beer, bro?” Ethan asked.
“I don't feel like it,” he answered.
“Julie and Ethan are going to Hawaii for a week,” Becky said to Gavin.
“Brat,” Julie looked at Becky with a glare.
“What? I didn't know that,” Gavin snapped, as he looked at Ethan.
“I wasn't aware I was supposed to ask you. We're going to look for a house. Court is over. She agreed to buy a house with me once it was done. I'm getting her there before she changes her mind. We're staying at Chris' house. It might turn into two weeks. It depends on how it goes and how long I can keep her naked beneath me.”
Gavin took a deep breath.
“I don't want to hear about my sister being naked,” he snapped.
“You asked,” Ethan said with a shrug. “You and Becky aren't the only two that do it.”
Julie was laughing so hard. Sandy couldn't help but look at John with a smile. He shrugged and smiled back at her. Gavin picked up his fork and stared down at his plate as he ate. Sandy played with baby Jack while everyone ate. When John was finished, he took the baby for her to eat.
“Any more babies in your near future, Lisa?” Julie asked.
“No,” Lisa looked up from her plate. “You just want the conversation off of you. I don't think so. Leave me alone. I'm over here minding my own business. Go back to picking on how big Becky is.”
“Hey,” Becky said. “Leave me and my big baby alone.”
“You were the one that started it,” Lisa said. “Bringing up Hawaii to your man.”
They carried on for a couple of hours. Becky was ready for a nap. Julie wanted to get home to pack for their trip. Baby Jack needed a nap as well. John looked over at Sandy with a smile as the first couple left. She shook her head and laughed. The second couple left and she felt her body shiver as she thought about what John had said to her. Julie and Ethan were the only two still there. Ethan and John sat in the living room, and Julie helped Sandy clean everything up. Sandy enjoyed talking to Julie. She could tell that Julie cared so much
about John. It was nice to know he had so many close friends and family.
The two ladies walked into the living room to find the two guys watching a game.
“Are you ready, babe?” Julie asked. “I want to make sure to have enough packed for the trip.”
“I already told you there is not much need for clothes. You only need a couple of outfits so you have clothes on for the realtor. We don't need to pack the entire house.”
Ethan and John both stood and began walking toward the door.
“As soon as we get back,” Ethan said. “I want to meet your son. I'm snatching away from that college. He's going to love it at my company. We'll have dinner at our house. I can show him everything there. Plan a day of it. If he's really passionate about what he does, you won't see us except to eat. Have your daughter's family come as well. The kids can play some of the games. They'll love it.”
Sandy wasn't sure what to say.
“Don't even think of saying no. It's a done deal. I have to meet him.”
Sandy nodded as she smiled.
“You have no idea how much that means to me. Thank you for doing that. He'll be so excited when I tell him,” she said.
John hugged Julie and Ethan. They each pulled Sandy into a hug as well.
“I'm glad you guys found your way back to each other,” Ethan said. “I know it must have been hard for you when he left to take care of me.”
“I'm glad too,” Sandy replied. “It was hard, but he was where he needed to be. I wouldn't have changed him leaving for you. You're both pretty amazing.”
Julie and Ethan left, and John looked over with a smirk. He raised an eyebrow at her as he closed the door and flipped the locks.
Chapter 23
Sandy stood frozen in place, as John looked her over from head to toe. She felt a shiver roll across her shoulders and down her arms. His face was free from any humor. There was something in his eyes. She watched them darken. Slowly, he walked toward her.
“You thought it was funny earlier to play with me. I've been hard all day thinking about what I want to do to you. You never tease me, woman. Do you hear me? I've learned a lot in twenty-seven years. When you want something, you go after it. You take it and claim it as yours. You hold onto it. You cherish it. You never let it go.”
