AndrewI pulled away and lifted Lanie’s shirt over her head. Then I unclipped her bra, which clasped at the front between her breasts. It fell open, and her perfect, perky tits sprang free. Her nipples were taut, and I closed my hands over her breasts, massaging them gently as I began moving inside her.Lanie sighed softly as I thrust slowly in and out of her tight wetness. Her body hugged me, drew me in, and threatened to consume me. If she could, I would have let her. That was how good it felt when we were making love, like we’d been put on this earth to do only this.I was reaching my climax, and Lanie was breathing in that quick telltale way that I knew she was close, too. I nibbled her neck and her earlobe and held her to me as I fucked her harder. I knew what she liked, and I knew how to push her over the edge. Her moans grew louder, more intense. Her eyes were heavy and hooded and then rolled back in her head as she was swallowed up by the intense pleasure. Watching her made me

LanieThe pep rally got underway, and it was impossible to maintain a conversation over the noise. Mr. Winters took a seat a few chairs down from me after he had all the kids engaged and excited, and by the time the event was in full swing, my mind was spinning a mile a minute.All I could think about was Andrew. The ring on my finger felt like it weighed five hundred pounds, and every cell in body screamed for resolution. I couldn’t take all of the tension and not knowing. The unknown had always been the worst for me, and our lack of communication and his willingness to leave me in the dark was getting to me.Not being able to take it anymore, I stood up and left the gym. I walked down the long hall and took a right, where I pressed my back to the lockers and slid down the length of them to sit on the floor.What was I doing?Was I about to make the biggest mistake of my life and marry a man who was not only seventeen years older than me, but also completely willing to neglect me for

AndrewWhen Lanie arrived just before five, she let herself in the front door. She and Raven embraced, both of them giggling shyly and poking light fun at each other. Then she came to me and wrapped one arm around my waist. She rested her cheek on my chest for the briefest moment and looked up at me. I bent to give her a kiss. It was a brief one, but it was sweet nonetheless, and I could taste the lingering flavor of her cherry chapstick on my lips when she bustled into the kitchen, carrying the bags she refused to give me when I tried to take them from her.Raven hobbled after her, and I came in last.Lanie set everything out on the counter.“What are we making?” Raven asked, leaning up on the counter so she didn’t have to put weight on her bad leg.“Tacos.” Lanie grinned.Raven clapped her hands together and looked up at me. “We haven’t had tacos in ages!”“Because they’re a little—” I paused, catching the way Lanie looked over at me. “A little meal.”Lanie arched her eyebrow, but a

LanieWe went to the tub, and he held my hand as I stepped over the edge, plunging my feet into the silky hot water. The bubble bath was decadent. I sank down and drew my knees up to my chest. The water enveloped me up to my shoulders, and the tiny bubbles popped against my skin. Andrew joined me beneath the water and encouraged me to turn around. I put my back to him, and he spread his legs and pulled me between them. Then his hands were at the base of my neck, and he was massaging muscles I hadn’t realized were in desperate need of release.“This is nice,” I whispered. The hardness of his erection in the small of my back was also pleasant. A reminder that he was as desperately attracted to me as I was to him. It was, at most times, completely intoxicating.His fingers worked down my spine to massage all of my back and my hips. After a few minutes, he reached around to cup my breasts and pulled me back against his chest. We sank deeper into the water until just my chin was above the

AndrewBob was a straight shooter. That was why we were such good friends. “Just a lot on my mind is all.” I hoped he’d leave it. If Lanie were anyone else besides his daughter, I would have been totally open to talking to him about it. But she wasn’t. She was his baby girl, and opening up to him about our relationship felt strange. Weird.“Are you okay?”He was going to push until I said something. So why not go with the truth? If he was willing to ask, I had to assume he could handle my answer, whatever it was. “Honestly?” I asked. “No. I’m starting to get a little worried about my relationship with Lanie.”“Did something happen?”I shrugged. I wasn’t going to tell him his daughter tried to fuck me in the bath last night without a condom, and I’d been the idiot who stopped her. I’d gone to bed with a horrible case of blue balls. I’d have sorted it out if I didn’t think I deserved the pain. “No, not really. But the difference between our ages keeps popping up when I least expect it.
