“You can’t be serious.”
“It’s either that or an engagement ring, and since I know you’d have a fucking fit if I put one of those on you now, it’s these for now.” I ran my finger over the two in her neck.
I’d be fucked if I’m gonna let her run around without some sign of ownership. It was just my luck that every swinging dick within a five-mile radius would start sniffing around her ass now that I’d found her.
“Are you coming or not?”
“Of course I’m coming you crazy person.” At least she was dropping the shy girl act and my little hellion from the park was making a comeback.
“Your ass looks amazing in that thing, go take it off.”
“What, what’s wrong with it?” She looked over her shoulder at her ass. She was wearing some kind of hot pink, terrycloth number that stopped at her knees, but it hugged her ass like a second skin.
“Put on a skirt, preferably one that reaches the floor.”
“Don’t be an ass, these pants are perfectly decent.”
“Baby.” I leaned over so that our eyes would meet. “Go change.” Lesson number three; I never fucking argue. It’s the worse fucking exercise in futility.
“Brett, this isn’t going to work...”
“You’ve lost your fucking mind.” I wasn’t even going to give her the chance to finish that asinine fucking statement.
“I told you in the park, if you don’t want men looking at your ass don’t advertise. Your ass is what caught me by the dick and reeled in the rest of me.
You strike me as smart, so think. Do you really see me being okay with other men enjoying the view? Are you getting where I’m going with this?
And in the future, don’t bring up that shit about us not working, because that’s not gonna fly, not now, not fifty years from now.
I’m in there and that’s just where the fuck I’m staying. Now we’re losing time, you need to go change so we can get our boys before they tear those people’s fucking place apart.”
She hemmed and hawed but since I ignored her ass she had no choice but to do as she was told. I don’t think she would’ve appreciated me getting her dressed myself.
In the end she went with a dress. This long flowing number that wasn’t much better. It didn’t show her ass off, but it hugged her curves perfectly.
“I’m thinking some of those coverall things farmers wear.” She just rolled her eyes and headed out.
I found that I had to keep my hands on her in some way at all times. If I wasn’t grabbing onto her nape as we walked, I had my arm around her, resting on her ass as we stood.
The boys were excited to see us and let it be known as they ran to us and started babbling away at us, telling us all about their day.
She kept drawing closer and closer until she was almost under my arm, and when I started to ask her what the hell she was up to, I noticed her giving the women at the center not very nice looks when they got too close.
I pretended not to see shit, but I had a big stupid grin on my face as we left.
Back at the condo she kicked me out of the kitchen to go play with the boys while she cooked. I took them into the study with me and turned on the TV while I looked up some stuff for work.
It was another evening of laughter and little feet running around making my dog crazy, and then it was lights out; my new reality, and so far, so good.
I fucked her, or she fucked me, for half the night, and in the morning, real life intruded and I had to go in to the office.
I tried talking her into staying home again and I had the perfect argument. “Babe, we need to get started on decorating the house, you said you wanted to do it yourself and that’s a big job.
I think you need to devote all your time to it, make sure we get it just the way you want it.”
“Nice try but I’m not about to give up my one source of income and independence.”
“I hate to tell you this babe, but your independence went south five seconds after I fucked you for the first time. Boys quiet down in there.”
She proved to be very stubborn, but since I was ahead by about twelve days, I decided not to push it for now.
I dropped them all off on my way to the office, another part of my new morning routine. “Babe do you drive?”
“I have my license if that’s what you mean, but I don’t have a car yet.”
“We’ll get you one, in the meantime you can take the hummer.”
“That thing’s too big for me to handle.”
“Yeah, well the one we’re gonna get you isn’t gonna be much better, you’ll get use to it. It’s one of the safest rides on the market.”
