“How’s the big job coming along?”
“It’s good, we are moving along quite nicely. This building is going to have medical offices in it, so once we get the structure built the insides will be different than the strip mall we built for the development company last year. I’m pretty sure they already have commitments for all the space since it is such a desired location.”
“That’s amazing. I’m glad that it’s going smoothly and staying on track.” She lays her head on my shoulder and melts into me.
“So, I have something I wanted to discuss with you,” I tell her as I take a drink of my beer.
“Ok, what’s up?” She sits up so she can look at me.
“What do you think of me moving all my stuff here and putting my house up for sale or rent? I’m already here every night. Hell, I can’t even tell you the last time I slept at my house. I just don’t see the need to keep it when I’m already living here.”
She doesn’t answer right away, just taking in what I’ve just said as she takes a drink of her wine.
“I think that sounds like a great idea. No reason for us to be paying utilities on two houses and your mortgage if we don’t need to be. Are you leaning more toward renting it out or selling it?”
“I’m not sure yet. I was thinking of talking to a realtor and seeing what they think I could sell it for or what I could rent it for. Since I haven’t owned it for very long I don’t want to lose money on it trying to sell it already.”
“That’s a good point. Maybe holding on to it and renting it would be the best thing for now. Have you thought about calling a rental management company?”
“No, but that’s a good idea. I don’t really want to have to deal with tenants, so having a management company would probably be the way to go. But first I need to get everything packed up and moved out. That means that we either need to have a huge garage sale or take a huge load to the goodwill. No reason to keep all my dishes and stuff like that. None of it was expensive stuff since it was just me in the house.”
“How about we head over this weekend and start going through things? We can box up what you want to bring here and then we can see what’s left and see if having a garage sale is worth it or not.”
“That sounds like a fantastic plan,” I tell her as she relaxes back into my side.
“I can call around tomorrow to a few property management companies and get rates and more information. Then we can set up to meet with them if you want to move forward with renting it. I’ll also call a realtor to come take a look. Do you want me to call anyone in particular for that?”
“I really liked the realtor I used when I bought the house. He’s a fellow vet, so I would like to call him. I’ll text you his contact information so you can call him. You don’t mind taking charge of this for me?”
“Nope, that’s why I offered. With your crazy work schedule right now, and me only working two days a week, it makes sense for me to take care of this for you. I’ll call him in the morning. He might even do property management as I know some realtors offer that.”
“I didn’t even think about that. Well, call him first and see what he says and then let me know. Thanks for handling this for me, babe.” I place a kiss to her temple.
“My pleasure.”
“How about I show you a little pleasure?” I cockily say back to her now that we’re done discussing my house. I’m more than ready to have this woman under me and I plan on getting her that way as soon as possible.
“Smartass.” She chuckles as she playfully hits me in the chest.
“You know you love it,” I say and grab her hand and bring it up to my lips to kiss.
“Yep, doesn’t mean I can’t give you a hard time.”
“Oh, believe me, sweetheart, you are making me hard right now,” I reply to her as I drop our hands down to grab my cock through my pants. I’m hard so you can see the outline of my cock and her eyes narrow in on it and I see the dilation of them as her arousal washes over her body. “Come here,” I tell her as I pull her so she is straddling my lap. I wrap my hand in her hair and rest it along the back of her neck, pulling her closer to me so I can kiss her.
“Mmm…” she moans as I take possession of her lips in a passionate kiss.
“You taste so fucking good, I can’t wait to taste you other places tonight, babe,” I tell her as I move to kissing along her jaw up to her ear. She’s so hot when she’s turned on. She’s grinding her body against mine, looking for that connection, and I fucking love watching her when she’s like this. “What do you want, beautiful?” I ask her.
“To come.” She moans and nips at my neck.
“My pleasure,” I tell her as I stand up with her wrapped around my body. I don’t think I’ll make it to our room, so I take her over to the couch. Before laying her down, I grab the hem of her shirt and pull it up and over her head, then reach down to unbutton her pants. She slides her legs off of me so that I can remove her pants from her body. She is now lying in front of me in nothing but her lace bra and panties and she looks hot as fuck. God this woman takes my breath away and makes me hard as steel all at the same time. I don’t know what I did to deserve this amazing woman but I will do everything in my power to keep her.
“I think you need to remove a few clothing items, mister.”
I quickly pull my shirt off and drop my pants to the floor. What this woman asks for, she gets. She’s a little impatient and starts pulling me back down on top of her. I stop myself from crushing her and lean down to kiss along her breasts, sucking her nipple through the lace of her bra. I know the texture of the fabric along with my mouth drives her crazy, and I’m rewarded with moans from her.
“Fuck that feels good,” she moans.
I continue to torture her by kissing all along the tops of her breasts, not removing her bra yet. I shift focus and start my descent down her body. I wasn’t lying earlier when I told her I couldn’t wait to taste her body in other places. I kiss my way down her stomach and across her hips. As I reach the top of the lace that is hardly covering anything, I place a kiss on top of the scrap that is covering her center. She is already soaking through her panties, which makes my cock pulse. I can’t get enough of her scent and taste, so I move the lace to the side so I can swipe my tongue along her slit, circling around her clit. This causes her to lift her hips, searching for the contact she needs to chase her orgasm. I quickly suck her clit into my mouth as I slip two fingers into her, searching for that one specific spot that I know makes her come unglued within moments. Seconds later she’s calling out my name as she comes on my hand.
I slowly kiss my way back up her body as she comes down from her orgasm. Once I’m back to eye level with her, she pulls me in for a soul-searing kiss and is attempting to reach down to grab my cock. She first slips my boxers off, then wraps her fingers around my cock. I’m so ready to just bury myself inside her, so I break the contact so I can remove her bra and panties and hover back over her.
“Ready for me?” I whisper in her ear.
“Yes,” she says as she wraps her legs around my waist, pulling me closer to her. My cock slides along her wet pussy and she reaches down to align us so I can thrust into her. God, I love the feeling of her tightness around my hard cock. Once she has adjusted to me being inside her, I start thrusting into her, finding that perfect rhythm.
“Harder, Jake,” she moans to me.
I thrust harder into her. “Like that, babe?”
“Yes, Just. Like. That.”
“I’m not going to last much longer, babe. Are you close?”
“Yes.”
“I need you coming with me,” I tell her as I reach down to flick her clit a few times. This causes her to start pulsing around my cock, milking me for all I can give her. Our orgasms both hit us at the same time and we ride them out together.
“I love you so much,” I tell her as I kiss her temple. We are both breathing hard, trying to recover from the amazing sex we just had.
“I
love you too but I need to get up if we don’t want a mess on the couch,” she says to me as she tries to push me off her.
“Sit tight. I will go grab you a washcloth,” I tell her as I stand up and walk away. One downside of her going on birth control shortly after we started dating and we ditched the condoms- things can be messy, but fuck if I don’t love being in her with nothing between us.
After cleaning up, we gather our clothes and make our way into our room. Exhaustion is starting to set in for both of us as we both worked today. Once we are both ready for bed, we climb in and cuddle right up together. I think this is both of our favorite time of day. We just relax while wrapped around each other. Sometimes we talk and other times we just enjoy being next to each other. I can tell that Tessa has nodded off to sleep as her breathing has changed. I lie there for a little while longer just listening to her breathe, holding her until I eventually fall asleep myself.

Over the next couple of days, I get in touch and meet with the realtor for Jake. He agreed with us that selling right now might not be our best option and gave us some rental advice. His company also handles property management, so Jake just decided to use them since he already had a relationship with the company from buying his house. We now need to get it cleaned out and ready for a renter, so that is our priority before we can do anything else that he recommended.
Since Jake is back to working 12 plus hour days now that it’s summer and they have this huge job going on, it’s up to me to get all his stuff packed up and ready to move. I spend almost every day over there except the days I have to work. The only day he has been able to come help is on Sundays. Thankfully, it only took about a week for me to get everything packed up that we are taking to my house and decided what to do with the rest. Now that we have everything out, we need to have it painted inside and it will be ready to rent. All I can say is I’m happy that we are using a rental company. I have no desire to be dealing with potential renters and with Jake’s crazy schedule right now, I know I would have to handle it for him and that is just something that I don’t want to do.
It took about a week before Jake can get one of his crews over to the house to paint the inside, but now that it’s done, it has been put on the market and they are showing it like crazy and within a few days we have a renter moving in. We were not hurting for the rental income but it will be nice to have it to offset the expenses on it.
The next few weeks fly by. Ty and I fall into a relaxed summer schedule. He still spends Tuesday and Wednesdays with my parents when I’m working. The other days we spend together and we end up hanging with Caroline and her boys most days. We love taking them to the pool, parks, the zoo…. anything to keep them moving and burning energy! We are at the zoo today with Caroline.
“Hey, have you guys made plans yet for 4th of July?” Caroline asks me.
“Nope, I’m not sure if Jake is only going to be off on the 4th or if he’s shutting down for the long weekend. What did you have in mind?”
“Nothing specific, just figured we could all get together. If he has the long weekend off, maybe we can take all the kids to the cabin?”
“That would be amazing. I love going up there. I’ll ask him tonight if he’s thought about it since it isn’t that far off.”
“Yep, it’s already next weekend! Where has this summer gone?”
“Man, summer is flying by so fast,” I say on a sigh.
“And if we can’t get away to the cabin, we can just BBQ up at our house for the day then head down to the waterfront for the fireworks.”
“Sound like a great plan to me. I’m sure the kids will love either option.”
Jake finally gets home from work while I’m up putting Ty to bed, so I can finally talk to him about the possibility of going to the cabin for the holiday next weekend.
“Hey, babe,” I call out for him as I come downstairs.
“I’m out on the deck,” he calls out to me.
I grab myself a glass of wine and go to join him outside. Before sitting down next to him, I lean down to give him a kiss and hug.
“I missed you today, beautiful,” he says as he kisses my neck. “Did you guys have a good time at the zoo?”
“I missed you too. I’m so ready for these long ass days to be over with. And yes, we had a great time. Caroline asked what our plans were for the 4th of July next weekend and brought up the possibility of all of us going up to the cabin if you were going to be off.”
“I would love to but I’m not sure if we’re going to be able to shut down for the entire long weekend.”
“Well, that sucks but we came up with a plan B in case going to the cabin wasn’t an option. We figured we could just grill at their house and then head down to the waterfront to watch the fireworks.”
“Before we completely rule out the cabin, let me see how things go the next few days and then we can make a final decision early next week.”
“I like that plan. Do you think even if you can’t fully shutdown, you could leave your foremen in charge and take off yourself? I know you like being around in case they need you, but is it something you are willing to do?”
“Possibly, I just hate to make them work over the long weekend while I’m gone relaxing.”
“I know and that makes you a great boss and business man. But you also have to take time for yourself sometimes as well.”
“I know, babe, it’s just a critical time in our schedule and I only feel it’s right for me to be present. But, like I said before, I’ll see how the next few days go and see if I think we can stay on schedule if we are closed for the long weekend.”
The next few days are crazy busy for Jake. He’s still trying to figure out if he can close for the extra two days, and when we both get home on Wednesday night from work he lets me know that they have a delay with a subcontractor who is closed for the holiday weekend. That means he will close as well, since they can’t move on until this sub comes in and does their thing and they won’t be starting until Monday morning. So now I must pack us all up tomorrow so we can head to the cabin once Jake gets home tomorrow. I’m so excited! Caroline and Luke are also excited for our time away and I’m sure all the boys will flip out when they find out we are going.
I’ve been working all day getting us packed and ready. Caroline and I spent over an hour on the phone this morning deciding on meals and making a list of what we needed to go buy before heading up tonight. We agree to meet at the store at noon to get that out of the way. Even with only going to the cabin a few times in the past, I feel like I’m starting to become pretty proficient in packing us up to go there. When we are at the store, we make sure to stock up on lots of beer for the guys, wine for us and s’more makings for the kids. There is just something about sitting around the fire pit roasting marshmallows while at the cabin that makes summer special.
Jake plans to be home by 5pm so we can hit the road. Caroline and Luke will just meet us at the cabin this evening. Since we are taking all the kids, we can’t all fit in one vehicle this time. Thankfully, he is able to get home around 4:45 and by 5 we are on the road.
“How was work today?” I ask him once we are comfortably on the highway.
“Busy but I could tell all my crews were happy to be getting the next few days off,” he tells me as I reach out to adjust the radio so we don’t have to talk over it, then reach for his hand and lace our fingers together.
“I bet. It sucks when almost everyone else gets the time off and you don’t, so I’m glad that you were able to close for the weekend.”
“Me too, babe. How was your day?” He brings our clasped hands up and places a kiss on mine.
“Good, got all our laundry done this morning. Caroline and I spent an hour on the phone planning meals and making up the shopping list. Then we hit up Costco and Target to get everything. We just split the cost in half. Figured that was easiest.”
“Did you guys remember beer?”
“Yes, don’t worry, we wouldn’t fo
rget about you and Luke.” I smirk at him.
“Just checking,” he says as he brings our clasped hands to his mouth and places a kiss on the back of my hand again. I love how he’s always showing his love in little ways. Chaste kisses, pulling me close to him whenever we are near each other, calling me beautiful all the time. It just makes me feel so loved.
“Did you do anything else today besides get ready for the weekend?” he asks as he sets our clasped hands down on my leg.
“Not really. While I was waiting on laundry to finish I watched a few of my shows that I had on the DVR. With Ty spending the majority of the day with my parents so that I could focus on getting us packed, I had some free time. But otherwise I was pretty busy all day just getting packed and shopping.”
“What time were Luke and Caroline leaving?”
“They left around 4, so they will beat us there. I gave them the door code so they can get inside and start unpacking their stuff. Since they were going before us they took the cooler with the refrigerated food with them.”
“Sounds good,” he tells me as I reach over to turn up the radio. Pontoon by Little Big Town comes on and I just love singing to this song.
Jake is pretty used to me just belting out singing along with the radio by now, as I do it pretty much anytime we are in the car. I continue to sing along to the next few songs. I even catch Jake singing along to a few of them!
“Busted!” I say to him as I playfully punch his arm. “I knew you liked to sing along to the radio! And here you always give me crap about it when I’m belting away signing.”
He just laughs and keeps singing along to the song.
“Ok, ok you caught me. Sometimes I just can’t help it.” He laughs and squeezes my leg.
“That is what I’ve been trying to tell you the entire time.”
We continue to just listen to the radio as we drive along. Ty is watching a movie on the iPad, so he is a happy camper. We make it up to the cabin and, thankfully, Caroline has already made dinner for us. We were getting pretty hungry, so were happy to have food as soon as we arrived.
