His Brother's Wife

by Mia Ford

  I started getting butterflies in my stomach when it came time to close, and Noel urged me to leave when we saw her dad in his pick-up truck parked out front. She could close. I grabbed my purse and walked out, locking the door behind me so she would be safe. When I walked out to the truck, I smiled at Keith and thanked him again for doing this for me. “It’s no problem. Just one town over and I haven’t seen Jim in a while.”

  We hit the road and I envisioned the SUV in my mind to get the naughty thoughts out of my head. That didn’t seem right to do with Keith beside me and I blushed as an image slipped into my mind. “Robert wants to take us to a new place by the dealership Friday. Maybe you can drive us.” His voice was light and I smiled at him.

  “I’d love to,” I replied as he stopped at a light and looked at me.

  “It seems serious with him.” Keith’s voice was soft and I glanced over at him, nodding. “I have watched Noel date a lot, good guys and bad and it’s been hard. Seeing you do it after coming here scared of shadows is even worse. Is he good to you?” Keith asked as I realized that I wasn’t hiding the past as well as I should be.

  “Very much so. He’s made me feel comfortable and Robert is very caring,” I assured him as we moved forward.

  “I talked to him about that and he seems honest about himself. He’s a good man but I know that with an age difference, things can get complicated sometimes.” Keith shook his head. “I just want you happy and since I am your local parental figure, I take that seriously.”

  “I am always watching out for myself,” I said sincerely as we took the two-lane freeway to the town, pulling into a small lot a few minutes later. My eyes looked over the selection, seeing some cute cars. My gaze rested on the beefy SUV as I grinned widely.

  Jim showed us the Four Runner and we went for a test drive in it as the men analyzed the engine noises and mileage. To me, it was perfect. It had comfortable black cloth seats, a decent radio, air conditioning and it seemed to purr. I didn’t know how to break down every sound a car made and chuckled as they kept talking. When we arrived back at the lot, Keith voiced his approval and I stared at him. We went into the office and paid cash at a great discounted price before I signed my life away.

  “You have yourself a new car,” Jim told me, embracing me before handing me the key on a small chain. I took it with a smile and looked at Keith as he nodded his approval.

  “It’s a good vehicle, Molly. It will be good for all the weather that we have here, like Noel’s Jeep.” I grew up in this state and was aware of the weather, but not a fan of driving in it so much. “Want me to drive it back?"

  “No! I have some radio stations to set.” I grinned as he laughed and shook Jim’s hand, thanking him for helping us. I said my goodbyes and scampered over to the truck, getting in, and looking all around. It was gorgeous and all mine. I sent Robert a text saying that I got it before doing the same for Noel and asking what was planned for dinner. She responded telling me that Keith said he’d pick up an order from the BBQ place in the town we were leaving.

  Robert had sent back a message by this time and I asked him if he wanted to join us for dinner, offering to get whatever he wanted on the way home. He declined, telling me to have a good time and to stop by to show me the car later. He didn’t want to send me too much out of my way, and I pouted.

  I knew that the fact that we’d slept together and that he wasn’t coming over had nothing to do with each other. Not at all. Robert was a nice guy and he would want me to get home safely without having to stop for him. That’s all it was though insecurity filled me as I started the engine of my new car. It sounded amazing and I found the local radio station that I listened to before pulling out onto the main street. The windows were down to let some fresh air in and I squealed with joy as I let it sink in that I was in my own car.

  I thoroughly enjoyed the drive home. I hadn’t driven since I left Malad City as everything was so close to the campus at college. After that, Noel had the Jeep and we spent most of our time together, anyway. It worked out but now I could have a little freedom and I sang along to the radio as I headed towards the house. Things were going to be different now for me, making me think that everything was falling into place. I liked the idea of staying with Robert but he might not live here for too long. He was in a job that moved him around and I knew that going in. I knew that when I gave myself to him last night, but I couldn’t resist him any longer. I couldn’t make myself wait and I would never regret that choice. I smiled as I saw Keith parked on the hill and Marta standing there with Noel as I pulled around. They came over to look the truck over and Marta loved it. She had a bigger SUV and swore that her life would be nothing without all the room. Noel claimed that she was jealous but I knew how much she adored her newer Jeep.

  “Is Robert coming over for dinner?” Marta asked as I locked my car and headed towards the house.

  “He said that he already fixed something but to stop by later to show him,” I feigned a smile as I led the way inside, feeling her eyes on me. I could tell Marta anything as if she were my own mother, but I was embarrassed. We went to the table and Keith helped his wife unload the food as we sat down to eat.

  “Are you driving to work tomorrow?” Marta asked me as I looked at Noel, who was smiling. Marta didn’t necessarily know that I was staying at Robert’s place so much, given our early hours.

  “That might be fun.” I said as Noel smirked at me. I didn’t have to spend the night with him. I could go over, spend as much time in his bed as possible and then come home.

  “I have been thinking about the cafe, too.” Marta and Keith looked at their daughter. “We are working there every day right now, early in the morning. I know that business is strong, but what do you think about us being closed one day a week? It would be nice to sleep in once a week.” Noel shrugged. “We could hire a couple of people as well but I am a control freak in the kitchen.”

  “It really has taken off. It’s a lot of work for the two of you,” Marta said thoughtfully as she got a forkful of coleslaw. “I think that being closed on Monday would be the best day. Maybe you could go in that afternoon, stay closed and then just bake. You could get caught up in a couple of hours if you worked together. I could even help out.”

  I kind of tuned out during the last half of the conversation, full and tired as I thought about Robert. I wanted to go over there and crawl into his bed, letting him ravage me. I didn’t know what was wrong with me thinking this way.

  I concluded that Marta was going to help with the baking part time and that we’d close on Mondays. We got too much business on the weekends to do it then, but a day off with Robert would be amazing. He worked Mondays.

  God, this choice had nothing to do with him. I was running the bakery long before I met him and things always worked out for me. I needed to stop focusing on him and I helped them clean off the table before I looked out front at my car. “Go see him. You know you want to,” Noel said from behind me as I turned to look at her. “If you come home, then you drive us tomorrow. If not, no big deal. My parents aren’t upset that I know of.” I looked at her with a scowl and she laughed. “They know that we were in college for years on our own, as well as how old we are. They don’t want to control us.”

  “Maybe for a little while.” I stared forward as I mulled it over and felt her wrap her arms around me.

  “If you don’t go see that hot piece of man, I will.” I mock glared at her. I pulled my phone from my pocket and sent a text asking if he was home. He told me that he was and I grabbed my purse and keys, calling my goodbye out to them as I headed towards the front door. I’d thanked Keith a hundred times tonight and he knew all about how grateful I was.

  I started the engine and pulled back down the hill, listening to the wind against my windows. I could imagine road trips in this car, maybe a trip or two to see my parents in the future. Even though we hadn’t adjusted our schedule too terribly much, there might be more changes ahead. People took vacations. We could d
o what we wanted since it was our shop. I turned on the main street, taking the right that led to Robert’s house. I had a backpack in the car, just in case I stayed but I needed to do some laundry soon.

  I pulled into the long driveway and parked as the front door opened. Robert walked outside dressed in worn jeans and a long-sleeved shirt that was pushed up his arms and I felt the drool forming in my mouth. “I like it, Molly.” He looked the car over and crossed his arms before looking at my face. “Are you happy?”

  “Yes, I love it,” I replied as I got out and walked towards him. I changed into some leggings and a baggy sweater before leaving the house to come here instead of wearing my cafe uniform. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss as he slid his hands around my lower back. “Mmmm,” I moaned as he tilted his head to deepen it slowly, seeming to want me as much as I wanted him.

  “Come inside,” Robert whispered to me, allowing me to lock the door to the truck before walking inside with him. Rob locked the door behind him and reached out for my hand to stop me, making me look at him curiously. He pulled me back and twisted me against the wall, kissing me hungrily as I gasped against him. He pressed against my body as he lifted me up and centered his cock against my core, making me moan his name. “This is why I didn’t come to dinner. Touching you was all that I could think about, Molly.” Robert kissed me again and I went slack in his grip as his tongue claimed my mouth.

  “Your room,” I told him as he carried me in, making me giggle as I wrapped my legs around his waist. It was so refreshing to give in to my need for this man as we dropped together on the bed, moving back together towards the pillows. It felt so natural for me at act this way with Robert when before I was scared to have any man touch me.

  Chapter 21

  Robert

  Molly’s mouth was so willing as she pressed herself up against me, her pussy hot against my cock as I thrust against her. I knew that my jeans might give her the friction that she seemed to desire, and I moved a little to the left as she cried out my name. I kissed her neck as she wailed, tearing at my shirt. “Not yet,” I told her, grinding my hips against her as she froze against me. Molly jerked, moaning as I watched her come for me, her eyes wide and dazed.

  I moved to pull her pants down, gripping her underwear as well. Once she was bare before me, I spread her legs and tasted her release hungrily, hearing her breathy moans. She was so sweet and the juices kept coming as I licked and sucked, my finger sliding inside of her as she whimpered.

  My cock was drilling a hole in my jeans but I wanted to make her come on my tongue. It was then that I would fuck her hard when she was recovering from it and tight as sin. Molly scratched my head with her nails, making me stroke my hand over my pants to offer some relief to myself. I told her to come and once she did, I slid my own pants down and ripped off my shirt. “Can I take you bare again?” I knew that I was clean for a fact and she felt so fucking good last night.

  “Yes, just take me,” Molly ordered as I lifted her shirt from her body, finding a thin camisole underneath. She yanked that off as I leaned down to suck on a nipple, drawing her deep into my mouth as she spread her legs. I slid inside of her as she cried out, deciding to start this way, and ease her onto her knees. “Rob, God. You feel so good,” she told me as I pressed my mouth to hers and moved even deeper. I got her hot and ready before I told her to turn over, watching her eyes widen as she looked at me. Molly complied and I took in the sight of her juicy ass before I raised her to her knees, licking her pussy for a moment as she squirmed in front of me. I reached down to grasp a cheek tightly before I slid inside of her, hearing her groan at the angle. She dropped her face to the bed, offering me more of her as I gripped her hip tightly. “Rob!” Molly cried out as I let go of her ass, slapping it lightly as she jerked forward. The sound filled the room; hand to skin as her moan followed.

  I drove into her harder as she rocked against me, spanking Molly a little harder the second time. “Do you like that?” I asked her as she told me that she did, her voice trembling. “Want it harder?”

  “I’m so close,” Molly sounded like she was weeping as I raised my hand, catching her skin again as I told her to come on my cock. She did, hot and hard as I held onto her and fucked her wildly until I was filling her, moaning her name. Once I was empty, I pulled out slowly and dropped to my side as she fell to her stomach, breathing raggedly. “What was that?”

  “That is a taste of my world, Molly. I like to take things a little bit further. I think you liked it.” I said as I stared at her, blinking at me.

  “I did but it’s hard to separate the feeling before with…Lance and with this. He was the same but different.” Molly looked confused and I took a deep breath.

  “It is different. Molly, when I was younger, I think that I was a form of Lance. I met a woman and I was too new to this and inexperienced to handle the kind of relationship that I forced her into. It seemed to be okay for a couple of months, maybe more. We both liked it but I watched her start to fall apart before my eyes.” I didn’t want to give Molly details but needed to express what happened with Brittany; what I wanted to avoid with her. “She ended up in a facility towards the end though I wasn’t entirely to blame. There were things beforehand that I didn’t know about.” I pulled Molly towards me. “The point is, I want you to be comfortable with all of this. I don’t want you to fear me like you did Lance. I am older now and I have more control. I want to be a team in this.”

  “Is she okay now?” Molly’s eyes were wide as she stared at me. I didn’t know since that was a few moves ago but I hoped that she was.

  “I moved away from there and let her be to heal. I honestly don’t know,” I admitted, moving closer to kiss her. “I never want that again for anybody. I tried to hold back with you as long as possible, Molly. I did. Then you told me that you were ready and that you wanted me and you felt so fucking good. I just want to do this at your pace.”

  “I liked what you did tonight. It was arousing to have you spank me like that and I’m curious as to what else you want. I’ll be honest about everything, Rob but I want to be with you. I like the way you make me feel.” Molly pressed her lips to mine for a moment as I stroked her cheek.

  “I like all of that, too. I am in this only with you. I don’t sleep with more than one woman at once,” I promised her as she reached around my neck to press her body against mine.

  We made love again, her body under mine as I thrust deep inside of her without holding back. Molly rocked against me, wanting all of me and we came together before she pressed her face into my chest and breathed deeply. “Can I stay here?” She asked as I smiled and stroked her damp hair.

  “Of course.”

  She stayed that night and many others. We pushed the boundaries together and she’d cry sometimes, agonized by memories while I held her. Other nights, she’d suggest something and we’d make it work together. I let go of some of my control, but I did ask her to call me when she was at the cafe and safely locked inside. I figured if I didn’t hear from her in a reasonable amount of time, I could rush down there and I had enlisted the help of the police force in making sure that both girls arrived. It was a small town and they got there in the dark, so it was slow enough then that they could have an escort.

  Molly split time between my house and Noel’s place, but when she was there, I joined them a lot for dinner. I met her parents at Thanksgiving and while they seemed a bit surprised at my age, I saw the twinkle in her mom’s eyes when she looked at Molly. They were simple, kind people and I was soon laughing with her father as we talked easily together. He wanted the best for his daughter and I was going to give that to her, even though we didn’t tell them about the restraints tied to my bed and the chest of toys at the foot of it.

  Molly was open to new experiences in a comfortable, open situation and I loved watching her find new pleasures in sex at my hands. I knew that I was falling for her early on and settled into the base on a permanent basis, even thou
gh I fixed all the issues there. I held back on telling her until the time was right though I wasn’t sure when that was. I just enjoyed every day with her, falling asleep with her in my arms after I’d introduced her to something else or repeated something that she loved. Molly was responsive and genuine with me every time we were together and I saw the expression on her face when she’d look shyly away from me.

  The girls got the cafe figured out within a few months. They closed on Mondays and got a few local high school girls in town to work for them. They trained them to run the front of the cafe while Noel focused on baking and their new chef that made lunch entrees. Molly supervised the front and Noel adjusted her schedule for baking so they could get to work a little later in the mornings, offering them a little more freedom with their time outside of work.

  Nate asked Noel to move in with him a year after I met Molly and they found a cute cottage on the edge of town. Those two went through a lot being young and learning, and their fights got pretty epic sometimes. I saw that he loved her though, and he finally took the next step and proposed to her on Christmas, making all the women in the house cry. I looked at Keith as he wrapped an arm around his wife, seeing his eyes full of emotion as I kept looking towards Molly. She was hugging Noel and crying and I swallowed the lump in her throat. I’d seen them grow closer over the last few years, only building on the time before that while I found Molly fit well into my life with my own friends on the base. I was always a private man and kept my circle small and tight, particularly since I moved a lot.

  Not now, though. I moved from the rental and bought a house that had an amazing view of the mountains from the front porch. It had four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a large backyard. I made it clear that I was here to stay and even set a retirement date for when I turned fifty. It felt strange having a solid future as opposed to moving when I wanted to or needed to, but I wanted more to it than what I’d done so far. I wanted Molly to be a part of my life and with each night that we spent together, I knew that I wanted to make her more of a part of it.
