  I was going to beat this thing. I’d wait until tomorrow to deposit Steve’s check. Now I wanted to pick up the cake, get home, and take a shower and wash my hair. I took the Auburn-Folsom exit from Highway 50, and as I passed the roadside billboard for BlueMagick I remembered that Lisa told Brad to bring J.D. tonight. My stomach got all fluttery, and I couldn’t stop myself from smiling.

  I stopped at the Raley’s bakery and bought a couple small bags of ice to pack around the cake box so the icing wouldn’t slide off on the short drive home. Yesterday, this would have depressed me. Now it was a funny anecdote.

  As I expected, no one was home. Today was Stacey’s first day at the restaurant, and Lisa was training her during a lunch shift. I put the cake on the kitchen counter and went to take a shower. It felt so good to wash off the sweat from driving in the hot car. I shampooed my hair, rinsed it, and lathered it up again and rinsed, then put conditioner in and left it piled on my head. I soaped up my body and turned the water temperature to lukewarm and ran the spray over my skin with the hand-held showerhead.

  I closed my eyes and let the water run over my breasts, imagining what it would be like if J.D. stepped in with me. I’d lean back against his chest and feel his arms around my shoulders, his hands on my breasts teasing my nipples. I aimed the water spray between my legs and set it to pulse.

  I remembered the feel of J.D.’s cock, and my muscles clenched with wanting him inside me. Quivering with the pulsing water, I steadied myself against the tiles until I shuddered with a serviceable orgasm. Not great, but it would do.

  I blow-dried my hair and rolled it up. I laid down for a few minutes on my stomach, my head at the foot of the bed. I rested my head on my crossed arms and enjoyed the warm air on my naked skin. I inhaled deeply and exhaled, blowing out any lingering stress. I had a check for $50,000 in my bag! The relief I felt was amazing. I closed my eyes for a few minutes, just to let my hair set.

  Happy chattering filtered in from the kitchen through my bedroom’s open door. I opened my eyes and sat up, naked on my bed. I must have fallen asleep. Lisa and Stacey were home from work.

  At the sound of the back door sliding open Stacey called out, “Hi, Frank!”

  “So how was the first day?” Frank said.

  “Ugh! I’m so tired!” Stacey sounded exhausted and happy all at once. Proud of herself. I was happy for her. That first day at the first job is such a great feeling.

  I aimed the hot air from the blow dryer at my rolled up hair, then let the rollers sit for a few minutes while I decided what to wear.

  “Oh, how nice,” I heard Frank say flatly. “Brad’s here.”

  “Happy Birthday, kid!” Brad’s cheerful voice sounded.

  “Happy birthday, Stacey,” said someone else.

  Butterflies played over my stomach. That was J.D.’s low tone.

  I chose my usual shorts and a new pink cotton tank top with cut-out snowdrops along the top. The back was all cut-outs in flower shapes that showed a lot of skin.

  I took out the rollers and brushed out my hair. I love the feeling of my hair falling on my shoulders, but I wanted to show off my bare skin, so I grabbed a scrunchie for a ponytail. I put on a little blush and lip gloss and my favorite sterling silver snowdrop earrings.

  J.D. had come. It had to mean he wasn’t completely repulsed by me. I felt my cheeks redden on the way out to the kitchen, thinking about my fantasizing earlier. The release in the shower was nice, but not enough. I had real feelings for J.D., and I didn’t want them stop.

  I wanted Jaxom Draco Reider in my bed again, and not merely to keep me company when I slept.
