The day ended like so many before it. Home from work with her kids, get dinner ready, check homework, some play time, and then bed, for the kids anyway. She’d have some ‘alone’ time where she wished she wasn’t alone. How many years had it been since he left? She didn’t count them; she felt them. She didn’t miss the bastard, but she did miss the intimacy. God, he was good in the sack, and that was his undoing in the end. A...

Jack stepped back, surveying the results of his recent efforts, then stole yet another look at the clock. Almost six, and he wondered when she’d be home as she was a little later than usual. He had no illusions of ever realizing the random idea that she’d ever want him, but he enjoyed the few minutes he had with her at the end of his workday. He wasn’t one to fantasize much, as that only seemed to lead to frustration. It...

“I wish you didn’t have to leave,” Haley said, still basking in the afterglow of her evening with Jack. “Me too. I understand, but your kids won’t, and we may have already created a stir in the neighborhood if anyone’s seen my truck in your driveway so late.” “I don’t care. Do you?” she asked with a smile. “No. I don’t,” he replied and kissed her long and hard. Her memory did not include anything like the time she’d just...

Haley woke in the same happy mood she’d been in for a couple of weeks now that she and Jack were spending more and more time together. The sex was fantastic, but there was more to it than that, and that is what kept her happy long after the last orgasm had subsided. Within a week, everyone noticed her exuberant attitude toward everything, and she did nothing to hide it, reveling in the lust for life again. Even her mother...

“Good morning, beautiful!” “Good morning, handsome!” Haley replied, rolling over to face him. For her, waking up in the morning in Jack’s bed was the highlight of their first weekend together, despite the incredible sex they’d shared the night before. After a few light kisses on her lips, face, and neck, he pulled her in for a tongue dance, both fully aware of the erection poking her belly under the covers. “Mmm,” she hum...

“I’m sorry, Daddy! Are you really gonna spank me?” Haley asked, continuing her naughty, little girl role. “Come with me, young lady!” Jack said as he took her wrist and led her to the bedroom, both smiling. He’d intended to sit on the bed, but then he noticed the perfect upholstered armless chair in the corner. He let go of her wrist long enough to move the chair away from the wall and sat down, holding both of her wrists...

They worked around each other in the kitchen, preparing the kid’s ‘busghetti.’ They hadn’t said much on the short ride home or since arriving home apart from what was necessary to make dinner. She’d told him she could handle it alone, but he smiled, ignored her offer, and continued working. “You know,” she started as everything was cooking and they’d poured some wine, “We don’t have to do something with the kids next Satu...

The morning was more hectic than the prior nights they’d slept together, but neither cared as the morning had brought their mutual declarations of love for each other. It felt so right to be working together to get ready for work and school. Even Jack had a job he promised a client he’d return to and finish. They completed everything a little bit late, making no apologies for what they both saw as one of the best mornings...

Half expecting her to call or stop by to apologize, Jack worried more that Haley seemed irrational about it. She didn’t give him half a chance to explain what happened or assure her of his love. He knew that her husband had betrayed her repeatedly and left her as he didn’t want to be tied down to one woman and children. That helped him understand why she felt the way she did, but he hadn’t behaved anything like her ex. He...

“Hi, Dad! It’s good to hear your voice!” Jack’s daughter Diana said when she answered the phone. “How are you, Princess?” he asked, using the term of endearment his wife had insisted on for their baby girl named after the British Royal. “I’m good. Very busy, but good! You?” “Never better!” he replied, surprising her with his positive response. “Yes, it sounds like it! “And how’s Lee?” “She’s good too. We have an anniversa...

The weekend of Diana’s visit was a resounding success. Sunday was spent with more sightseeing, this time with the kids in tow as they started at Zoo Tampa. Both Lee and Diana were very fond of animals and often visited the local zoo wherever they traveled. A late lunch was also kid-oriented as they went for the all-American meal of hamburger, french fries, and Cokes, though at an upscale restaurant. Seeing her Dad with Ci...
