“Oh, I didn’t realize you planned to continue to work once the girls were born. I figured you would want to be the one to raise your children. I didn’t take you for the type to push them off on someone else.” Her sentence ended with a hushed sound of disapproval. Victoria’s remark was typically snide and cutting, but this time it was a well delivered blow to Kara’s already shaky self-confidence. Victoria knew exactly where to stick a knife in someone.
Kara raised her eyebrows at the statement. How did one respond to a remark like that? Thankfully she didn’t have to. Dave was flabbergasted at his mother’s attitude. No wonder Kara tried her best to avoid her. He had honestly thought Kara had been blowing the conversations out of proportion. Guilt twisted through his body when he realized how wrong he had been.
“Mom? What the hell? Why would you say that? I fully support Kara working, if she wants to. Besides, I’m not sure what concern it is of yours if she works or not.” Dave was steaming, but he knew he needed to keep his cool.
“Of course, dear. I simply meant that Kara struck me as the stay at home type.” Victoria’s face was cold and emotionless as she looked from Dave to Kara.
“Anyway, I thought we could eat a little earlier today before the contractor gets here. I made dinner tonight.” Dave smiled at Kara and then to his mother.
“Oh, Son. You shouldn’t have. I know Kara had planned a big dinner. That’s why I came over to help before you got home from work. I thought maybe we could surprise you with a nice treat.”
“No worries, Mom. Let’s grab the girls and get them situated in their highchairs, then we can eat.” Dave headed for the living room with Kara following him.
“She is going to have a heart attack when she sees your idea of a turkey dinner,” Kara quietly giggled to Dave.
“I know! Serves her right. Just try not to laugh, okay?” Dave plucked Sarah from the floor while Kara scooped up Abby. The happy foursome headed to the kitchen for a bit of mischief.
Once the babies were situated, Dave and Kara graciously set the table. Dave then presented his mother with her grand meal. He placed before her a tray of turkey luncheon meat, some fresh deli rolls, and a selection of cheeses. He brought out the plastic tub of potato salad that he ordered from the deli counter and the little vegetable tray that still had the plastic cling wrap and price stickers displayed. He added a bowl of potato chips and a bottle of ranch dressing for the veggies.
With a slight smirk on her face, Kara poured each of them a small glass of grape juice.
“What is this?” Victoria scowled at the meal placed before her.
“Turkey, fresh rolls, potatoes, and fresh vegetables. Just as you requested. Oh, and grape juice. You really shouldn’t be drinking wine and driving.” Dave sat down and started to assemble his sandwich.
“Is this a joke?” Victoria demanded
“Uh—no. It’s dinner,” Dave said, followed by a loud crunch from the baby carrot he popped into his mouth.
Victoria pushed her plate aside. “Anyway, the reason for my visit today is to let you know that your Aunt Maxine is getting remarried on Saturday. I told her that you would escort me to the ceremony and reception. It’s an adult only wedding, as is the reception. So your children won’t be welcomed, but I’m sure Kara won’t mind staying home with her children. Right, dear?” The words that rolled from Victoria’s tongue sounded sweet and sincere, however, Dave knew his mother much better than that.
“Mom! First, I do mind and so would Kara. Second, did you just refer to your grandchildren as my children? You are their grandmother for God’s sake! Call them your granddaughters.”
“David, I will not be called a grandmother or referred to as one. You chose to breed with that woman, you must live with the consequences. I, for one, will not.”
Dave had to laugh at his mother’s antics, which only seemed to upset her even more. “I’m sorry you feel that way. I happen to love my children and my wife very much. And if you don’t like it, you don’t need to be here. By the way, we have plans this weekend, and even if we didn’t, I wouldn’t go where my children are not welcomed by their family.”
“Fine!” Victoria rose to her feet and made a hasty exit, slamming the door behind her.
Kara was left shell-shocked by her monster-in-law. All she could manage was a few blinks towards the door. Then she mumbled, “Don’t let that door hit you on the ass on the way out. The door doesn’t deserve it.”
Dave quickly got up and walked over to Kara. He pulled her up from her chair and into a tight embrace. “Don’t let her get you down, baby. She has always been like this. I guess I’ve built up an immunity to her. I suppose I had to learn to just tune her out over the years. The good news is I don’t think we will have to worry about her coming over again anytime soon.”
Kara smiled at her husband, she just couldn’t help it. Even when faced with the scathing remarks from Victoria, he could make her smile. He had stood up to his mother. He didn’t do it to simply be mean, but to let her know that it was not acceptable to treat his family with anything less than respect. At that moment, any doubt Kara had about their relationship, or their little family, fled from her mind. She knew without a doubt that her husband still loved her. And that was all she truly needed.
Friday had finally arrived. Dave and Kara kissed the girls goodbye and headed out. Dave still had not informed Kara of their destination. She was nervous yet excited as they embarked on their little weekend getaway. Kara had complete confidence that Laura would be able to take care of the girls.
A comfortable silence ensued on the drive. Kara tried to imagine all the places that Dave might have selected for their excursion. But as each one passed, her list dwindled. After an hour and a half in the car, they finally came to a stop at The Oasis Resort.
Kara bounced with joy. The resort was new, and she remembered seeing brochures for it. She had even looked it up online. The pictures on the web were amazing, but they didn’t do it justice. The hotel lobby was stunning with white marble floors and a gold grand piano to the left of the staircase. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a rainbow of light through the lobby. No detail had been overlooked in the luxurious entrance.
The check-in process was painless and they were soon ushered to their suite. Kara never imagined that Dave would have booked the honeymoon suite for their short stay. She was even more surprised when he handed the bell hop the keycard to the door. Dave spun on his heel to face her before scooping her up and carrying her over the threshold. A gasp left her mouth as he hastily strode through the suite to the bedroom. He gently deposited her on the bed.
Kara heard the click of the door latching shut as the porter left the suite. Dave leaned in to her, placing a passionate kiss upon her lips. The kiss was soft and slow—enticing. Her husband’s tender kisses always made her knees quiver with anticipation. She couldn’t remember the last time he kissed her like this. Their lives had not been their own for far too long.
Dave ended their kiss, way too soon in Kara’s opinion, as he pulled away. He held a finger to her lips before she could utter a single word. “Shhh—you’re thinking too much. Relax and enjoy the moment.”
Kara nodded slightly in agreement as Dave lifted her arms and pulled her t-shirt over her head, exposing her white bra. Dave moaned at the sight of her creamy skin bounding over the lacy top of her bra. He promptly reached around and unfastened the article before dropping it to the floor.
He proceeded to do what he had been waiting months to do. His tongue flicked over her hardened rosy nipples, sucking each tip greedily into his mouth, grazing them gently with his teeth. Kara couldn’t contain the moans that escaped her mouth. It felt too damn good.
Dave worked his way down to her stomach. He quickly removed her pants, leaving only her white lace panties. A growl escaped his throat at the sight of her sprawled before him.
Kara started to tremble. She wasn’t sure if it was from need or nerves, as both desire and anxiety flooded her b
ody, conflicting her senses. She breathed a sigh of relief when Dave sensed her dilemma.
“I’ll be right back,” he announced before he turned and walked out of the room. Dave returned moments later. “Come on, there’s something I want to show you.”
With her curiosity peaked, Kara rose from the bed and followed her husband. What is he up to? She wondered, crossing the plush bedroom carpet. Her hands flew to her chest as she tried in vain to cover herself up. The thought of ripping a sheet off the bed had momentarily crossed her mind, but it was quickly dismissed. She continued on, sans sheet, and found Dave in the large bathroom. In the middle of the room sat their own personal Jacuzzi.
The smell of jasmine and eucalyptus enveloped her senses as she moved closer to the bubbling water. Dave lowered the lights in the room to create a more intimate setting. He turned to see Kara’s soft smile adorning her face. “Kara, you look amazing. Why are you trying to hide your body from me?”
“A habit, I guess. A lot of uncertainty as well.” Kara admitted, slowly lowering her hands.
“You look like the woman who has given me two amazing children. I have always loved your curves, Kara. And now I feel like I might die if I’m not inside of you soon.”
Kara grinned at Dave’s confession. Any reservations she had about her body lessened with each hungry glance he sent her way.
Dave stepped into the Jacuzzi first and extended his hand to Kara. She gingerly accepted and made her way into the warm water. “Oh God, this feels so good,” she said as the water worked its way over her back and shoulders.
“I thought this might be a nice way to relax after the long ride,” Dave offered.
“It is. This is absolutely perfect.” Kara tilted her head back and closed her eyes. She let the warm water rush over her body. She could almost envision the tension running off of her skin and floating away with the bubbles. “The only thing we’re missing is wine. That would be perfect right now.”
“Ask and you shall receive, my sweet.” Dave pressed a button on the control panel.
Kara opened her eyes as she heard what sounded like a tiny motor kick in. A small shelf pushed its way out of the top of the granite panel on the wall, revealing an enclosed glass rack with a variety of wines along with sparkling crystal stemware. “Wow! Isn’t that handy!” She worked her way closer to her husband to inspect their choices.
Once the rack was fully raised, they selected a bottle of wine and two glasses. Dave pressed the button to return the cabinet along with the remaining bottles of beverages to the hidden storage compartment. He poured Kara a glass of wine and handed it to her before pouring one for himself.
The effects from the combination of wine with the soothing water that rushed over her now had her more relaxed than she had ever felt. She sat up slowly, sliding over to where Dave rested. She straddled his lap, placing her arms around his neck. She leaned in and kissed him tenderly. Their mouths melded together as she combed her fingers through his messy wet hair. Kara rocked her hips against his erection. She was done with her silly waiting game. She craved the intimacy they once shared.
“What do you say we take our fun back to the bedroom?” Dave suggested. As much as he wanted to take her hard and fast the first time, he knew she was nervous. He wanted to make sure she was ready, both mentally and physically.
“Oh my! If I didn’t know better, dear husband, I’d think you were trying to seduce me.” Kara aimed for her best husky, sensual voice.
“Damn right I am.” Dave’s voice was deep and erotic. He stood up, revealing his hardened length. His palm slid up and down his cock. He loved the way Kara’s eyes stayed glued to his motions. When the tip of her tongue darted out of her mouth, he squeezed his cock a little harder. A tiny drop of his excitement glistened at the tip. He slowed his hand and motioned for her to come closer.
She knelt before him, the bubbles surrounding her. He held his breath as her warm tongue flicked out, quickly licking off the tiny bead before closing her mouth around his cock.
A groan escaped Dave’s throat as he watched his wife swallow his length. God, it had been so long since she touched him. It felt like heaven. His hand snaked through her hair, grabbing it gently. He guided her head with his hand until he was biting back his release.
“Oh God, baby. You are fucking incredible at that. And as much as I would love for you to keep going, I don’t want to finish before we even get started.” Dave helped Kara to her feet and stepped out of the Jacuzzi. He wrapped a towel around himself and then held hers out for her to step into.
Dave pulled Kara closer for a smoldering kiss. He didn’t want to lose the moment with the transition to the bedroom. He wanted to keep her on edge. Hell, who was he kidding? He wanted her begging and desperate.
“Make love to me. Please,” Kara pleaded.
It was music to Dave’s ears. “I plan to. Don’t you worry,” Dave swept Kara into his arms and carried her to the bed. He lowered her to her feet gently. His lips once more descended upon hers. The kiss was needy and urgent. His hunger for his wife driven to a new high. Dialing back the inferno that raged inside of him was damn near impossible, but it needed to be done. Their first time tonight was all about making Kara climax, and not just once, but as many times as possible.
With a flick of his finger, her towel dropped to the floor. His hands were on her an instant later, hungrily feeling every inch of her body. The passionate kiss halted when he lowered his head to her breasts. His palms cupped and squeezed each one right before he sucked the erect nipple into his mouth, causing Kara to groan in pleasure.
Dave’s calloused hands traveled further down Kara’s body, over her hips. A light smacking noise sounded through the room when he gave her well rounded backside a playful swat. He loved the way Kara’s body responded to him. Carefully with his knee, he nudged her legs apart. His fingers took no time in finding what he desired most, her sweet warm center. Her moisture spread across his fingers with each teasing rub on her bundle of nerves.
“That’s it, baby. I’ve got you. Do you like that? Hmm? You like the way I make you feel?”
“Ummm. That feels so good. Yes—I, I love it,” Kara panted.
“God, woman. Your pussy is nice and soaked for me.” His free arm wrapped around her, holding her steady while he worked two fingers in and out of her channel.
Dave could tell she was getting close. Though, he didn’t want her to peak just yet. He wanted her on the edge for as long as possible. When he slid his cock into her, she would be begging for him. Nothing less would be acceptable. With that thought in mind, he backed her closer to the bed.
Kara moaned at the loss when Dave slipped his fingers out of her just as her orgasm raced to the finish line. However, he quickly made it up to her by burying his mouth between her legs. Teasing, sucking, and nibbling lightly. Her orgasm stayed just out of reach. He knew just how to touch her to bring her to climax, but just when he could feel her ready to explode, he backed off. He denied her the perfect amount of pressure that she needed, and he knew exactly what he was doing.
He watched as her head thrashed back and forth. Her back arched off of the bed as the torment continued. She was a sight to behold, almost too much for him to bear. Kara’s cries and pleas were no longer coherent. He wondered how long he should keep her on edge. When she screamed in frustration and grabbed his hair, holding his face to her throbbing bundle of nerves, he realized it was time.
Kara gasped for air. Her lungs burned from the sweet torture that her husband inflicted. Just when she thought he would let her orgasm finally come, he pulled back with impeccable timing—fucking repeatedly. She couldn’t take it anymore. She needed to come before her body burst from sensory overload.
She wrapped her legs tight around Dave’s neck and latched onto his hair, holding him in place. A scream erupted from her throat when he finally got a clue and sucked her nub into his mouth. His fingers never slowed their onslaught. Kara’s body jerked and twisted, her climax finally slamming
full force into her.
When her orgasm ended, the twinges of pleasure did not. She trembled from the aftershocks. Dave didn’t give her a second to recover. He was on her in an instant. His thick cock slammed home in one quick hard thrust, setting off another orgasm for Kara. He placed her legs up and over his shoulders, allowing for the deepest possible penetration. She groaned in absolute bliss.
“Fuck! Yes!” Was all Kara could manage at the feeling of fullness from being impaled with her husband’s length. She had forgotten exactly how good sex could feel. At the same time, it felt completely new to her. Something had changed, because as good as sex with Dave had always been, it was never quite this incredible. Could it possibly be another one of the ways that childbirth had changed her body?
Whatever the reason, Kara gave up trying to decide and allowed the sensations to take over once again. Dave flipped her over on to her hands and knees and slammed back into her. He picked up the pace, no longer making love to her. And she appreciated each and every hard, full stroke. It was a chore to remain on her hands and knees with his powerful thrusts. She came again when he leaned down and whispered in her ear.
“You like that, baby? You like feeling my cock back inside of you?”
“God, yes!” Was her only response before he lifted one leg up, bending it at the knee to gain greater momentum. His fingers dug into her hips. Kara cried out again, her channel tightening around his shaft. She felt him buck harder as a string of grunts spilled from his mouth. She squeezed her inner muscles tighter around him, milking his seed from him.
When they were both spent, they collapsed into a heap of tangled limbs onto the bed. Dave pulled Kara next to him. He kissed the back of her shoulders and neck. “I love you.”
