Chapter 34 – Justin Proposes

Sunlight woke us on Friday morning. We hugged, kissed, and I peeled off her panties. She lay back, allowing me to kneel between her legs, and I buried my face in her pussy, tasting the wetness and essence of her arousal, a tangy, addictive taste that drove me wild.

As my tongue flicked and swirled around her sensitive clit, her breath became short and rapid. Her hands found my head, pulling me deeper into the warmth between her thighs. “Yes, just like that,” she moaned, her back lifting slightly off the sofa as she pressed herself into my face. I reveled in the taste and scent with each moan and twitch from Kayla. I alternated between long, slow licks and quick, pointed thrusts of my tongue, finding a rhythm that left her writhing beneath me. Finally, she came with a loud cry, her legs trembled and shook, the muscles in her thighs contracting and releasing in an uncontrollable rhythm. I continued to lap at her, teasing her through the orgasm until she gently pushed me away, completely spent.

"Oh, my goodness, that was fantastic! What a wonderful experience! Thank you." She pulled me into a big hug and passionate kiss. “Thank you. Thank you. You’re incredible.”

Once she recovered, she kissed me, pulled my panties off, and gave me a world-class blowjob, resulting in my exploding into her mouth. She took all I had, then gave me a deep kiss, feeding me cum. I swallowed and returned her kiss.

“I love how you satisfy me with your tongue.”

“As you know, my penis isn’t that big. So, I’d always been concerned that women might not be fulfilled. That’s why I learned to satisfy women orally.”

“You certainly learned well and have repeatedly totally satisfied me with your tongue.” She leaned over and gave me a passionate kiss.

I removed my breast forms, shaved, and dressed in a golf shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes. Kayla put on a white, short-sleeved, crew-neck top, a striped skirt, and sandals. I retrieved the newspaper and returned to the kitchen to fix breakfast. Kayla joined me as I cooked.

“I’m so excited about our new house. When do we want to start looking for new flooring and paint?”

“We’ll do that on Tuesday after reviewing all changes with Mom and William. They’ll also tell us which stores to visit for the best discounts. Both have contractor licenses, which allow them to buy supplies at wholesale prices. Labor will be the most expensive part. William has to pay his workers a fair wage.”

Mom joined us, and I poured a cup of coffee. “Good morning, Justin and Kayla. What are you two doing today?”

“I need to spend some time on my job. That won’t take more than a couple of hours to get caught up. I’m not that far behind,” I answered.

“I’ll be spending some time at my apartment. I don’t remember the last time I spent the night there. I’m certainly not complaining!” Kayla laughed.

“Will you be back for dinner?” I asked.

“How could I refuse another of your fabulous meals?” Kayla responded.

“Mom, if you and William don’t have plans, please invite him to join us for dinner.”

“Thanks, Justin. I’ll give him a call. I’m not sure if he has plans.”

“You might give your apartment manager notice that you’ll be moving out. Let them know you received a better offer!”

“I might have to pay an extra month's rent due to short notice.”

Ashley joined us for breakfast.

“Ashley, if you and Ethan don’t have plans, please invite him to join us for dinner.”

“Thanks, Justin. I’ll give him a call. We don’t have any plans that I know of.”

Mom left for her office. Ashley left for class. Kayla went to her apartment. I went to the office to catch up on billing and contract renewals.

After I finished my work, I started looking for a dinner menu. I decided to serve taco salad with both ground beef and diced chicken, along with avocado slices, salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, diced onion, grated cheese, and sour cream.

On my way to the grocery store, I detoured to visit Richter & Phillips Jewelry. Our property investment company owns the building, and we’ve known the owners for years.

“Welcome, Justin.” Kim Herthel greeted me.

“Hi, Kim. How are you doing today?”

“I’m doing well, thank you. How is your mother? We were all devastated when your dad died.”

“Mom is doing well. It’s been an adjustment for the family, but life goes on.”

“What brings you in today?”

“I need a generic solitaire engagement ring. We’ll come back another time to design it.”

“Oh, how wonderful. When will you propose?”

“Probably tonight. The entire extended family will be home for dinner.”

“Fantastic. Do you have an idea of her ring size?”

“Yes. One of her rings fits my index finger’s second knuckle.”

Kim used a ring gauge to determine the correct ring size.

“Does it matter what size or shape a diamond is?”

“No. This ring will be returned and exchanged for what she selects.”

Kim selected a ring that matched the ring gauge. “I’ll put this on your account. We look forward to meeting your fiancée and designing a custom ring for her.”

“Thanks, Kim. We’ll be back next week.”

Off to the grocery store and back home to prepare dinner. At three o’clock, Kayla returned.

“Hello, Miss Kayla. Did you know I love you?” A powerful hug and a passionate kiss followed.

“Yes. You show me that many times every day. And I love you. What’s the menu for tonight?”

“Very simple. Guacamole and chips for an appetizer. Taco salad with ground beef and diced chicken, topped with avocado slices, salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, diced onion, grated cheese, and sour cream. Margaritas to accompany it all.”

“You’re wonderful. Every meal you prepare is fabulous. You know what this means? I’ll never have to cook. I can’t compete!” Kayla laughed.

“What did your apartment manager say?”

“She was disappointed yet happy for me. I’ve been there for four years and have never been late with my rent. I’ll need to clean the apartment to get my deposit back. It’s not very dirty. She’ll have to shampoo the carpet and paint before it can be rented again.”

“For a small, yet phenomenal, fee, I’ll help you get moved and clean the apartment.”

“I’m sure I can afford your fee. I might even pay you in advance,” Kayla said, hugging and kissing me.

Ashley returned at four. “Hello, favorite brother. Hi, Kayla.” She hugged and kissed me. “Yes, Ethan will be joining us for dinner. He said this would be cheaper than taking me out on a date! He’ll pay for that remark! What’s the menu?”

“Margaritas, guacamole and chips, and taco salad. Is that acceptable?”

“That’s wonderful. You continue to prepare some of the best dinners.”

Mom and William arrived at five and were delighted to hear the menu. After getting a hug and a kiss from Mom, William and I shook hands.

“William, do you have a crew to apply a protective coating to all the flat concrete? I want to get that done before we move in.”

“Yes, I have a crew to handle that. It’ll take three days. One day to power-wash, one to apply the sealant, and one to let everything dry. You wouldn’t be able to drive on it until the fourth day. I recommend scheduling it for next Thursday, after the flooring and interior painting are done. You would have access on Sunday.”

“Thanks.”

The doorbell rang, and Ashley rushed to welcome Ethan.

I poured six glasses of margaritas and set out the guacamole and chips. “Good evening, everyone. Enjoy!” We raised our glasses and sipped. The guacamole was quickly devoured. That was my cue to refill the margaritas and serve taco salad.

“This is a special taco salad. You’ll notice the salad bowl doesn’t include any meat. Here are two serving bowls. One contains ground beef, and the other contains finely diced chicken. You may choose one or use both. A little bird told me that some prefer chicken to beef, so I’m trying to be accommodating.”

“I’m impressed. You continue to come up with new and exciting meals. This is wonderful,” exclaimed William.

“I totally agree. It’s never boring at this table. Even hot dogs and hamburgers were spectacular,” added Ashley.

“Thank you, Justin. I appreciate your efforts to be accommodating. I told Justin I’d never have to cook. I can’t compete.” Kayla laughed.

We enjoyed dinner. I know all you readers will be surprised to learn that Kayla helped clean the table and the kitchen. I took a second pitcher of margaritas out to the patio.

While on the patio, I decided the moment had come. “Kayla, though we’ve only known each other for three and a half weeks, the time has been intense. So much has happened. You’re wonderful. You know I love you. I know you love me. Would you please marry me?” I knelt and presented the ring.

Kayla began to cry. “Oh, yes. Yes! YES! I would love to marry you.” Everyone clapped. I slipped the ring onto her finger, and she hugged me tightly.

“Fantastic. Congratulations, Kayla,” Mom exclaimed.

“Thank you all for making me feel so welcome. You have no idea how thrilled I am. What a wonderful family. Michelle, I promise to do my very best to be a good daughter-in-law. Ashley, I’ll be the best sister-in-law you can imagine.” She continued to cry.

“Kayla, you’ve already exceeded my hopes and dreams for a daughter-in-law,” Mom declared as they hugged.

Kayla turned to me. “I love you, Justin. First, you make breakfast for me. Then you make dinner for me. Next, you seduce me with your charm. Then you want me to move in with you to a home I’ll need to furnish from scratch. Now I have to plan a wedding from scratch. What’s the next project?” Kayla laughed through her tears.

“Maybe you could give some thought to where we should go for our honeymoon?” I laughed. Kayla pummeled my chest.

“You’re going to make those plans, Mister!” She hugged me.

“We’ll be happy to help you, Kayla. You’re one of us now.” Mom hugged Kayla again.

William and Ethan congratulated me. “You’re a very lucky man. Kayla is a wonderful young lady,” said William.

“Thanks.”

“Ashley, would you check the refrigerator to see if there’s a bottle of bubbles? If so, please bring six champagne flutes,” Mom asked.

Ashley and Ethan went to the kitchen and returned with a bottle of bubbly and six flutes. Ethan popped the cork and filled the flutes with sparkling wine. “Here’s to the future, Mister and Mistress Justin Harrison. May they enjoy a long and wonderful life together,” Mom announced. Everyone toasted us.

Kayla hugged and kissed everyone. I shook hands with Ethan and William, then hugged them.

“I love you, Justin. I was completely surprised. I’m thrilled. I’ve been dreaming of this since we met. You make me so happy. We’ve come so far in such a short time. I’m overwhelmed by your family’s warmth and acceptance. Promise me you won’t wake me in the morning to tell me it was all a dream!” Kayla hugged me.

“I’m thrilled you said yes! We’ll go to the jewelry store next week to design the wedding ring you want. We’ll start furnishing the new house once you and Mom decide on the flooring and paint. Not to worry, we can afford it.”

“Are you kidding? There’s no way I wouldn’t have said ‘Yes.’ You’re the most wonderful person I’ve ever known. What did I do to deserve you? I’m beyond thrilled. I love you, Justin Harrison.” Kayla gave me a big hug and a kiss.

“All I can say is that it’s about damned time!” Ashley hugged and kissed me.

Another round of hugs, kisses, and congratulations. We retired to the bedroom, undressed, and snuggled in bed. “I love you, Justin.” “I love you, Kayla.” We shared more hugs and cuddles as we drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 35 – Ethan Meets Jessica

On Saturday morning, Kayla woke up and looked at her hand. Yes, the engagement ring was really there. “Oh, Justin, I can’t believe it! Did you really propose and put a ring on my finger?”

“Yes, Miss Kayla. You’re mine now. You can’t escape.”

I rolled her onto her back, spread her legs, and began eating her pussy until she was satiated. She rolled me onto my back, climbed on top, impaling herself on my rock-hard penis, and started riding me until I exploded. We rolled onto our sides and cuddled, kissing passionately.

“How was that, Mister Justin? Were you satisfied?”

“Utterly fantastic. You’re a dream come true! Were you fulfilled?”

“Yes. And I think we can enjoy this many more times in the future. As Justin or Jessica, there’s nothing for you to be worried about.”

“Now that we have properly started the day, what else is on the schedule?” I asked.

“We could shower together. I always enjoy it. Then you can fix breakfast while I get dressed. We have some serious shopping to do.”

We showered together. I shaved and dressed in a golf shirt, shorts, and sneakers. On my way to get the newspaper, I saw both Ethan’s and William’s cars in the driveway.

I returned to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for the six of us.

William came for coffee. “Congratulations, Justin. I hope you and Kayla have a long, wonderful life together. She’s a wonderful lady.”

“Thanks, William. I agree; she’s special. I’m thrilled to have found her. I have to credit Ashley for introducing us, even if inadvertently.”

Ethan came out for coffee. “Congratulations, Justin. Ashley is thrilled.”

“Thanks, Ethan. Ashley badgered me a week ago to propose. She’s my little sister. She’s supposed to be a pain in the ass!” I laughed.

Mom came into the kitchen, and I handed her a cup of coffee. “Justin, I’m thrilled you proposed to Kayla. She’s a wonderful young lady, and you’d better take good care of her. I’ll be watching! Oh, by the way, did you know I’m very proud of you?” Mom laughed, then hugged and kissed me.

“Thanks, Mom. Yes, I’m well aware she’s a very special lady.”

Ashley and Kayla arrived in the kitchen at the same time. Kayla wore a powder-blue floral wrap dress and two-inch heels, while Ashley wore a tank top, shorts, and tennis shoes.

“Welcome to the party, ladies. Kayla, you look fantastic. Ashley, you look comfortable. Are you ladies ready for some power shopping?” asked Mom.

“Michelle, do you realize your son finally proposed to me? I’m still in a daze.”

“Yes, Kayla. I’m thrilled for you. Finally!” Mom hugged Kayla.

“Justin, you’re a horrible brother! Why did you torture this wonderful girl for so long? You could have proposed a week ago!” Ashley berated. “Kayla, I’m thrilled for you.”

We sat down for breakfast. “You do realize, Mister Justin, that I not only have to furnish a new home but also plan a wedding. You get to plan the honeymoon. I don’t have any family, so we’ll have a small wedding, probably just the six of us. We should invite Aunt Brenda and Morgan. That’ll make eight. Can you think of anyone else?”

“Ashley, I’m sure you realize that you have to be my maid of honor.”

“Thanks. I’ll be honored to stand with you. I’ll help you pick out a fabulous wedding gown, and we’ll find a cute bridesmaid dress.” Ashley answered.

“Kayla. Even though we just recently met, I’m totally impressed with you as a wonderful young lady. I’m offering this; if you decline, I understand. Since you don’t have any other family, I would be honored to walk you down the aisle. It’s just an offer.” William suggested.

Kayla began to cry. “William, I’m so thrilled with your offer. Thank you so much. That’s very generous of you. I’m overwhelmed by the warmth and welcome of this family. Yes, I would love for you to walk me down the aisle. Thank you.”

“Justin, is there a reason you had to pack all this into such a short time frame?” Kayla laughed through her tears.

“Oh, it’ll get better. We haven’t even discussed a wedding date yet. That could be months off. Maybe we should wait until you finish your master’s degree.”

“Oh, I don’t think so, Mister! You started this ball rolling; you can’t stop it now,” Kayla laughed.

“Okay, to get everyone on the same schedule, we have a closing on Monday morning. We’ll meet with Mom and William on Monday afternoon to determine the updates needed for our new home. Kayla and I, with recommendations from Mom and William, will pick out new flooring and paint colors. I hope William’s crews can start demolition on Tuesday morning. We’re hoping to finish on Friday, with access on Sunday.”

“Meanwhile, Mom, Ashley, Kayla, and I will be shopping for basic household items, including a bed, linens, towels, and other essentials. The list should also include dishware, glassware, and silverware. Furniture and kitchen accessories can come later. A coffee pot might be high on the list. Let’s not forget paper goods either.”

We finished breakfast. William and Ethan left. Mom, Kayla, and Ashley huddled to discuss their shopping plans. I cleaned the kitchen.

“Okay, are you ladies ready for some power shopping?” I asked.

“Yes. First, we’ll go to the furniture store to order a bed for delivery on the 20th. Next, we’ll shop for basic kitchen and bathroom essentials. You can follow me to the furniture store,” Mom replied.

Mom and Ashley went to the garage. Kayla went with me. “Before we get to the store, what size bed do you want? Two twins, a double, a queen, or a king?”

“Oh, definitely twin beds – NOT! If we’re going all out, I vote for a king-size bed with adjustable firmness.”

We arrived at the mattress store. Having already decided on the size, it didn’t take long to select the bed and the adjustable bed frame. Kayla also selected a mattress pad, two pillows, and two sets of bed linens. We scheduled the delivery for the 20th.

The kitchen and bath store was next. “Please don’t buy Bone China, crystal, or Sterling Silverware today. We’ll get that another time. Get stoneware, everyday glassware, and silverware for eight or ten. That’ll get us started. Bath and kitchen towels. I’ll look for kitchen utensils, cookware, and knives.” I suggested.

We loaded three shopping carts. I paid and loaded my SUV.

“You can take all that home. Kayla will go with us to keep shopping.” Mom recommended. I got a hug and a kiss from all three.

“If Jessica makes dinner, I’ll invite Ethan to meet her,” suggested Ashley.

“I like that idea. We need them to meet,” added Mom.

“Okay. Dinner will be simple. I’ll wear a nice dress, not too much. I don’t want to overwhelm him. It’s now two. Have Ethan come over around four. We’ll have cocktails and chat while I fix dinner.”

“Okay. I’ll let him know.”

“Mom, would you like to invite William? He and Jessica have already met,” suggested Ashley.

“Yes, a great idea. I’ll invite him and let you know if he’s coming. I might ask him to come at five so you and Ethan have a chance to meet.”

“Okay. Have a fun time shopping. Dinner at 5:30.”

Kayla kissed me. “I look forward to dinner with Jessica.”

I went home and unloaded everything into the garage. I checked the refrigerator and pantry and found everything we needed to make a salad, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans.

I took another shower, shaved, attached my breast forms, and let the glue set. I put on a bra and panties, then painted my nails with shimmering pink polish. Once my nails were dry, I chose a multicolored fit-and-flare dress with a lace top and two-inch sandals. I brushed my hair, applied makeup, and put in small hoop earrings.

I went into the kitchen and began fixing a salad. The doorbell rang. I answered and greeted Ethan.

“Hi, Ethan. I’m Jessica. Welcome. Come on in. Would you like a cocktail?”

“Nice to meet you, Jessica. Ashley told me about you. You’re much nicer-looking than I expected. Sure, I’ll have a cocktail.”

I fixed two Bourbons on the rocks. “Cheers. Let me explain.”

I told Ethan about my trip to Colorado, where I substituted for a girl in a play and lived as a female for three weeks. I also told him how Mom and Ashley met and accepted Jessica. I was encouraged to continue dressing as a female after returning home. I explained how much more relaxed I was when I wore pretty dresses, makeup, and a bosom. I met Kayla, who immediately accepted me and encouraged me to be Jessica. I don’t go out on the town. This is for in-home use only. The only people who know about Jessica are family or close acquaintances. William has met Jessica and has no objections to her.

“Do you have any questions? Do you have any objections to being around me?”

“I’m doing okay now. Thanks for explaining where and why. You really do look much nicer than Ashley described.”

Given what Ashley had said before, I hadn’t expected him to object. Still, it was a relief. I smiled and said, “Thanks. Come into the kitchen. I’ll fix dinner while we keep chatting.”

I put on Mom’s frilly pink apron and started making meatloaf. The mashed potatoes and green beans were in microwave bags. I finished preparing the meatloaf, put it in the oven, and set the timer for an hour.

The doorbell rang. I answered and greeted William. “Welcome. Come on in. Would you like a cocktail?”

“Hello, Jessica. Nice to see you again. Cute apron. Sure, I’ll have a cocktail. Hi, Ethan. How are you doing this afternoon?”

I left the room to make a cocktail for William.

“Good to see you again, William. What’s your take on Jessica?” Ethan asked.

“I’ve got no problem with her. She’s perfectly passable, and there’s nothing repulsive about her. Michelle likes her, so while I don’t encourage crossdressing, I don’t condemn it either. She’s a beautiful young lady and a better chef than Justin.” William laughed.

“Thanks. I’m still processing meeting Jessica, and I’ll try to keep an open mind.”

I returned with a cocktail for William. “Cheers. Thanks for coming to dinner tonight.”

We took a moment to enjoy our cocktails.

The ladies came home with bags and bags of household items and carried them to the basement.

“We still have more shopping to do tomorrow. This is exhausting, but I’m thrilled,” Kayla announced.

“Jessica, you look lovely in that apron. Ethan, what do you think of Jessica?” Ashley asked.

“I’m fine. We had a nice discussion about how and why. I have no objections. She’s much better-looking than you described. William said he had no problem with her.”

“I’m glad you’re accepting her. I prefer Jessica to Justin,” replied Ashley.

“I’m happy you met Jessica. She’s my part-time second daughter. We like having her here,” added Mom. She hugged and kissed Ethan. “William, thanks for coming and for supporting Jessica.” Mom hugged and kissed William.

I fixed cocktails for Mom, Ashley, and Kayla. I refreshed Ethan’s and William’s drinks. “We have less than an hour until dinner is ready.”

I took off the apron, and we went to the family room to enjoy our drinks.

“Ethan, I switch between Justin and Jessica depending on the situation. I’ve only been out in public a few times, and only when accompanied. I’ve never gone to a high-risk place like a sports bar. I work from home so that I can be Jessica without worry.”

The oven timer buzzed. We finished our cocktails and sat down to dinner.

“Would anyone like an after-dinner cocktail? We have port, Amaretto, bourbon, and gin available.”

“Sure, I’ll have Amaretto on the rocks,” answered Ethan.

“Sounds good to me,” Mom replied.

“Sure,” echoed Kayla, William, and Ashley.

I filled six glasses with ice and Amaretto. We sat in the family room to enjoy our drinks.

“I’m glad Ethan met Jessica. There’s nothing to fear. She’ll be here often,” Mom said.

“I’m happy I met Jessica. Ashley told me about her, but she’s even nicer in person. I look forward to seeing her again,” replied Ethan.

“Thanks, Ethan. I no longer have to worry about surprising you.”

“Jessica, thanks for another wonderful dinner. As I said earlier, I think you’re a better chef than Justin and much nicer to look at! William laughed.

“Thanks, William. I appreciate your enjoyment of my culinary efforts and your compliment. I’ll try to keep my cooking and wardrobe up to your expectations.”

“I’ll be leaving. It’s wonderful to see everyone again, and I look forward to future meetings.” Mom escorted William to his car.

Ethan and Ashley went to Ashley's room.

Mom returned to the family room. “Jessica, I’m thrilled you and Ethan met. William was very complimentary about how you handled Ethan’s concerns. I was pleased that William came to support you. Now we can enjoy Jessica without any worries. Dinner was wonderful again.” She hugged and kissed me, then hugged and kissed Kayla. “I’m glad you’re here as well.”

Kayla and I retired to my bedroom, undressed, put on nightgowns, and cuddled together in bed.

“I’m glad Ashley asked Ethan to meet Jessica. Now both Ethan and William know about Jessica, and I’m more relaxed. I still don’t want to go out in public. I was very nervous on Thursday when we went to dinner. You thought it would be okay. Nothing happened, but I was still concerned.”

“As Aunt Brenda and Morgan emphasized, you look and act like a normal young lady. You have no reason to be concerned. I’m glad you don’t want to run all over town as Jessica. Some places might not be safe, just as wearing your khaki dress braless might not be either.”

We kissed, then went to sleep.

Chapter 36 – New Home Necessities

Sunday morning. Again, Kayla woke up and looked at her hand. Yes, the engagement ring was still there. “Wow! My dream really did come true. I’m so thrilled we’re engaged. I love you, Justin Harrison. I love Jessica Harrison as well.”

I knelt between her legs and buried my face in her pussy, swirling my tongue around her sensitive clit. Her breath became short and rapid. She pulled me deeper into the warmth between her thighs. “You’re wonderful,” she moaned, her back slightly lifting off the mattress as she pressed herself into my face. I alternated between long, slow licks and quick, pointed thrusts of my tongue, finding a rhythm that left her writhing beneath me. Finally, she came with a loud cry; her legs trembled and shook, the muscles in her thighs contracting and releasing in an uncontrollable rhythm. I continued to lap at her, teasing her through the orgasm until she gently pushed me away, completely spent.

"Oh, my goodness, that was fantastic! I’m spent. What a wonderful experience! Thank you." She pulled me into a big hug and passionate kiss. “You’re incredible.”

She rolled me onto my back, climbed up, and impaled herself on my rigid penis. She was in control now and began riding me until I finally climaxed.

“How was that? Miss Jessica!”

I hugged her, and we kissed longingly. I began to explore other sensitive parts of her body, including, but not limited to, her beautiful breasts. After a few minutes, I returned to titillating her, cleaning cum from her pussy, and bringing her to another round of massive orgasms. She finally collapsed and pulled me up into an intense hug.

"Please, just hold me. I can't take it anymore! I’m completely exhausted."

We showered together. I dressed in a long-sleeve white ribbed Henley top, a mid-calf denim skirt, and two-inch heels. After applying makeup, brushing my hair, and putting in stud earrings, I went out to get the newspaper. Our house sits on almost 2 acres, so there are no neighbors nearby. Ethan’s car was still in the driveway.

Back in the kitchen, I prepared breakfast. Ethan arrived first. “Good morning, Ethan. I’m glad we met last night and that you weren’t offended. I’ll change back to Justin before we go shopping.”

“Good morning, Jessica. You look very pretty this morning. No, I’m not offended. Ashley is thrilled that I met you and wants to dress me up sometime. I’m not sure I’m ready, but I can’t say I’ll never do it. Don’t be surprised if I show up wearing a dress.”

“I’ll be happy to fix you a drink when you show up in a dress!”

Kayla and Mom came into the kitchen together. I poured two cups of coffee. “Good morning, to my soon-to-be son-in-law.” Mom hugged Ethan.

“Jessica, you look lovely this morning. You fixed an amazing breakfast.” Mom hugged me.

“Good morning, my soon-to-be daughter-in-law!” Mom hugged Kayla.

“Thanks, Michelle. I’m still in a fog.”

“Thanks, Mom. Are you ready for another power-shopping session?” I asked.

“Yes, today we’ll focus on furniture,” Mom replied. “Kayla and Ashley made major inroads into household necessities yesterday.”

Ashley joined us. “Good morning. As usual, Jessica, you look beautiful. I think I’m going to get Ethan into a dress. I’ll have to get him a wig and falsies, but I think he’d look pretty good.”

“Don’t push it, Ashley. If Ethan doesn’t want to dress up, don’t force him,” I counseled.

We finished breakfast and cleaned the kitchen. I went to my bedroom, undressed, removed my breast forms and earrings, scrubbed off my makeup, and removed my nail polish. I dressed as Justin in a golf shirt, shorts, and sneakers. I returned to the family room, where Mom, Ashley, and Kayla were planning today’s shopping. Ethan had left.

“In the bedroom, a dresser, two nightstands, and two lamps. In the dining room, a dining table with chairs for eight, a rug, and a China cabinet. In the living room, a sofa, a loveseat, two recliners, two side chairs, a rug, a coffee table, four lamp tables, and lamps,” I suggested.

“There are many furniture stores in the area, so you don’t have to settle for something you don’t like. If we don’t find what you want, we can keep looking. Not everything needs to come from the same store. Are we ready?” Mom asked.

“Wait a minute. We don’t have a TV on the list. How am I supposed to take a Sunday afternoon nap during football season? Where will Kayla watch her love story movies? We’ll need two TVs and a TV cabinet for the master bedroom,” I added.

Mom laughed. “TVs are not on our priority list. You can find them later.”

Mom and Ashley led us to the first furniture store. We had our shopping list. I followed Kayla as she walked through the store to see if anything matched her preferences. We ordered several items to be delivered a week from tomorrow. Mom led us to the second store. We continued checking items off our shopping list. We ended up at a third store with only four items left.

We finished our shopping excursion. I suggested stopping at a nearby restaurant for dinner. “This is wonderful, though not nearly as fabulous as one of your meals. We’ll have to suffer!” Ashley commented.

“Thanks, Ashley. I’m too tired to cook dinner anyway. I promise a wonderful open-house dinner once we’re settled. I’ll have to add a grill to my shopping list so I can make hot dogs and hamburgers!

“If Jessica is fixing dinner, I’ll bring Emily. That’ll be Ethan in a dress,” Ashley added.

“Emily will always be welcome. Thanks for having Ethan meet Jessica yesterday,” Kayla replied.

We returned home. It had been a long day. Kayla and I retired to my bedroom, undressed, and cuddled until we fell asleep.

Knowing Monday would be busy, we skipped our usual sexual exercises but showered together. I put on a golf shirt, shorts, and sneakers. Kayla chose a simple button-front dress and flats. I retrieved the newspaper and prepared breakfast. Mom and Ashley met in the kitchen. “Justin, you always fix wonderful meals, whether for breakfast or dinner. It doesn’t matter. You’re fabulous.”

“Thanks, Mom. William said he prefers the meals Jessica makes. I hope you have a wonderful morning. We’ll meet you after lunch at our new home.”

“I’m happy he likes Jessica. She cooks as well as Justin does, but she’s much prettier.” With a hug and a kiss for Ashley, Kayla, and me, Mom headed off to her office.

“I’m very excited for you to get a new home. I look forward to your new-home party and many more after that. I agree with William. I like it when Jessica cooks,” exclaimed Ashley.

“Not to worry, little sister. We’ll have many gatherings. I look forward to your new condo party.”

We finished breakfast. After hugs and kisses for Kayla and me, Ashley headed to class. Kayla helped clean the kitchen.

“Were you aware that I love you?” I asked.

“How could I have known if you hadn’t put this ring on my finger? Yes, you goofball, I know you love me, and I know you know I love you.” Serious hugs and kisses.

We headed to the title company’s offices to finalize the closing. The title was recorded under the Harrison family trust. We received the title paperwork, keys, and garage door openers. I drove to the new home, unlocked the front door, picked up Kayla, and carried her across the threshold. “Welcome to our new home. It’s a little sparse on furnishings right now, but we’ll fix that soon.”

I set her down, and we kissed passionately. “Thank you, Justin Harrison. I love you. I can hardly wait to make this our wonderful home. This is fantastic. I’m still a little overwhelmed.”

We wandered through the house, discussing which changes we considered necessary. We agreed to remove the family room carpet and use the same flooring as in the rest of the house. We also agreed on a powder-blue ceiling, medium-blue walls, and a darker blue accent wall in each room.

Mom and William arrived. We started the review again. Mom and Kayla agreed on paint colors and accent walls. Mom marked each wall to indicate whether it was medium blue or a darker accent wall. Kayla and William agreed on the flooring. William estimated two days to remove the carpet, install new flooring, and paint. After those updates were completed, the exterior concrete would be sealed. We’d have access on Sunday.

“We thank you for your suggestions and recommendations. If you’d like to join us, I’ll buy dinner at Cazador Mexican Grill at Harper’s Point. We don’t know the nicer places to eat around here yet.”

We met at Cazador Mexican Grill in the Harper’s Point Shopping Center. Since it’s close to our new home, it would probably be a new hangout spot. It seemed popular with a younger crowd, like Kayla and me. We ordered dinner and drinks from a cute waitress.

“No, dear. I don’t find her especially cute. You’re way above her in the looks department.”

“Good answer, Justin,” William said with a laugh.

“Actually, it’s a no-brainer. Kayla is absolutely beautiful. These girls are eye candy, working for tips. I’m thrilled with my eye candy!” I added.

Kayla gave me a hug and a kiss. “Good answer, Justin.”

“We would like to thank you for your insight, suggestions, and recommendations. I’m sure that once all the updates are complete, we’ll enjoy a fabulous home. Thanks again.” Kayla added.

After dinner, we returned home, went to my bedroom, undressed, and crashed out for the night. 

“I’m excited about our new home. I promise to do everything in my power to make it a home you’ll be proud to call home,” said Kayla.

“I have no doubt we’ll have a fabulous life together.”

We hugged, kissed, cuddled, and then fell asleep.

Chapter 37 – Rings and More Shopping

It was time to renew our morning sexual activities.

Kayla climbed up, and sat on my face, allowing me to orally titillate her until she was satiated. Yes, I was aroused! My penis was rigid. She scooted down and mounted me, riding until I came with a massive orgasm, pumping for all I could give. We lay coupled together, hugging and kissing passionately.

“Thank you for allowing me to be in your life. You’re the most wonderful woman I’ve ever known. I look forward to being with you for an exceptionally long time!”

“You’ve no idea how wonderful I feel having you in my life. Both Justin and Jessica are very welcome. I’m thrilled at the idea of being together with you!”

We hugged and kissed and hugged and kissed, thrilled to be together.

After exhausting ourselves, we showered together. This was one of Kayla’s favorite ways to start the morning. I shaved, dressed in a golf shirt, shorts, and sneakers, then went out to get the newspaper and returned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Mom came into the kitchen, dressed for work. “Good morning, Mom. Here’s a cup of coffee. Many thanks for your help yesterday. We look forward to our new home.”

“Thanks, Justin. I’m thrilled you’ll be in a home so soon. I’m also excited for you and Kayla as you begin a new life together.”

“Thanks, Mom. She’s special, and I’m thrilled she said yes.”

“There was no question. She would’ve said ‘Yes’ a week ago. You’re a wonderful couple.”

Kayla and Ashley arrived at the same time. “How’s the furniture shopping going?”

“Oh, my goodness. We’ve spent a small fortune on just the basics. I haven’t even started decorating. Justin told me to buy what I want, so I’m trying to do everything right the first time. I haven’t swiped out his credit card yet.”

“I’m thrilled my goofball brother finally proposed! I look forward to the new-home party. If there’s anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to ask. Justin, you’re a very lucky man.”

“Ashley, do you think I don’t know how fortunate I am to have Kayla in my life? She is, without a doubt, the most wonderful person I’ve ever met. Well, after you and Mom, of course.”

“Good answer. Mom and I think Kayla is pretty special, too. When are you going to schedule the wedding?”

“For crying out loud, Ashley! We just got engaged. We’re working hard to move into a new home. Give us some time. I’m sure you’ll be invited!” I laughed.

Mom laughed. “I certainly hope we’re invited!”

“Unless we decide to elope! Which hasn’t even been mentioned. When we have time to plan a wedding, you’ll be the first to know.”

We finished breakfast. Mom left for work, and Ashley headed to classes.

I went to my office and scheduled internet service activation for the 20th. The title company had already arranged to change the electric, water, and sewer billing. I also called to start newspaper delivery on the 20th.

“Do you have anything on your calendar today?” I asked.

“No. Tuesday is an open day for me. I could spend time in the psychology lab, but it’s not necessary. Why?” Kayla replied.

“The jewelry store opens at ten. We could go there to design the wedding ring you want. You can pick out a ring for me, too.”

“You really enjoy getting laid, don’t you? What did I ever do to deserve you?”

“Well, duh. Of course, I adore making love to you. Let’s design your ring.”

We went to Richter & Phillips Jewelry, where Kim greeted us.

“Welcome, Justin. Is this lovely lady your new fiancée?”

“Yes. Kayla Logan, meet Kim Herthel. Kim will help you design your wedding ring.”

“Welcome, Kayla. I’ll do my best to help you design a ring you’ll enjoy for a lifetime.”

“Thanks, Kim. I’m still in a fog. It’s hard to believe Justin proposed.”

“Not to worry. We’ve known Justin for many years. If he proposed, he meant it. Let’s start with the ring color you want. White gold, yellow gold, or black? What diamond shape do you want? I’m sure Justin will be involved in choosing the diamond’s size.”

“Oh, my goodness. Let’s start with yellow gold and a multi-stone single ring. I’ve seen a ring with a large central stone flanked by smaller ones. It’s a combination engagement and wedding ring. Does that make sense?”

“Absolutely.” Kim opened a binder and pointed to a photo. “Does this match what you’re looking for?”

“Yes! That’s exactly what I had in mind. Would that be an issue?”

“Not at all. It’ll take a week to form. When will you get married?”

“We haven’t set a wedding date, so there’s no rush.”

“Fantastic. Your ring will be ready in a week. Congratulations!”

“Justin, what size do you want for the larger diamond?”

“For that layout, I’d estimate one-and-a-half to two carats. I don’t think a larger stone would look right in that setting. You don’t want it to look gaudy,” I answered.

“This is hard. I have to agree with Justin. A larger stone would look gaudy,” Kayla said with a laugh.

“You’re so right, Kayla. Agreeing with Justin’s opinion is hard,” Kim laughed.

“Now, Justin, what kind of ring do you want?”

“I don’t want any stones in my ring. A simple yellow gold band would be ideal.”

“Oh, you’re no fun. Okay, let’s see the simple bands,” replied Kayla.

Kim flipped to a new section of her binder and showed dozens of simple bands. “Do you see one you like?”

“Any of these on this page would be wonderful,” I replied.

“If you’re not going to decide, I’ll choose this one.” Kayla pointed to one of the pictures.

“Let me get your ring sizes.” Kim retrieved her ring gauge and measured both our ring sizes.

“Okay, I’ve got everything I need. I’ll be in touch once Kayla’s ring is ready. Congratulations.”

“Thanks, Kim. It was nice meeting you,” Kayla replied.

We left to visit our new home and check on its progress.

“Mister Justin, do you have any idea how much I love you?”

“Probably less than I love you. I’m thrilled we’re together. Let’s see what’s going on.”

We checked on the destruction crew. They had removed the carpet. The flooring crew arrived with the hardwood slats. The painters were working with three shades of blue. Everything was on schedule.

We returned to the mattress and bedding store. I ordered two queen-size beds, along with bed pads, frames, pillows, and linens, for delivery next Tuesday. Next, we went to a furniture store to order two queen-size headboards, four nightstands, four bedside lamps, two desks, two office chairs, two floor mats, and a TV console, all for delivery next Tuesday.

From there, we went to an appliance store. I ordered two TVs for delivery on Tuesday. I also purchased two wireless routers - one for us and one for Mom. The home router will go to Ashley and Ethan’s condo. Back to the kitchen and bath store for a king-size and two queen-size bedspreads.

“What would you like for dinner? We can stop at the grocery store on our way home.”

“We had Mexican food last night. How about pork chops instead?”

“Okay.”

We stopped at the grocery store to pick up essentials. Back home, I started preparing dinner. Kayla began assembling a salad. Ashley came home. “Hey, Big Brother and Soon-To-Be-Sister-in-Law. What’s for dinner?” She hugged and kissed Kayla and me.

“Hey, Baby Sister. Your favorite Soon-To-Be-Sister-in-Law is making a salad. Your favorite big brother is preparing pork chops, mashed potatoes, and grilled green beans. Will that satisfy your culinary desires?”

“Certainly. The only upgrade would be to have my favorite sister, Jessica, fix dinner. I like her.”

“Thanks. I’m glad you like her. We’ve been out shopping. Jessica can’t go there. She’ll return soon.”

Mom came home. “How is everyone this evening? What’s the dinner special?”

Ashley recited the dinner menu.

“Wonderful. Do we have time for cocktails?” Mom asked.

“Yes, I haven’t put the pork chops and potatoes in the oven yet. Ashley, would you please prepare four glasses of Bourbon on the rocks?” I asked.

“Certainly.” Ashley prepared drinks. I put the pork chops and potatoes in the oven and set the timer for an hour. We settled in the living room to enjoy our drinks.

“What did you do today?” asked Mom.

“We started at the jewelry store, where I designed my ring and picked out a band for Justin. Then we went back to the mattress store to order two queen beds. We went to a furniture store for a TV console and office furniture. At an appliance store, we ordered two TVs and wireless routers.” Kayla answered.

“One of the routers is for your condo. Ashley will take the router from here to their condo. I’ll install yours when you move in,” I added.

“Sounds like you had a busy day. Thanks for getting a router for me.”

The oven timer buzzed. We moved to the dining table to enjoy our meal. After cleaning the kitchen, Kayla and I retired to my bedroom.

“I’m thrilled we designed my ring. You can get undressed. I’m going to have my way with you.”

I didn’t need any encouragement. We hugged and kissed as we both undressed. Her nipples were distended. I began nuzzling as she lay back on the bed. Her moans indicated she was enjoying my titillations. I removed her panties and began nuzzling down her stomach to her clitoris. I nibbled there until she convulsed with a massive orgasm. She pulled me up into a hug, quivering. “Oh, my goodness. You’re wonderful.”

She laid me on my back, climbed on top, mounted me, and began a very slow ride. “I love you, Justin Harrison. I’m thrilled we’re engaged. As soon as we get settled in the house, we’ll start planning our wedding. Have you given any thought to our honeymoon?”

“I love you as well, Miss Kayla Logan. Keep doing what you’re doing. It feels wonderful. Do you have a passport? I’ve been thinking about a wine tour in New Zealand, Argentina, or Chile. I don’t want to go to Europe or California right now.”

“Yes. When I was commissioned, the Air Force issued me a passport.” She continued to ride me slowly. “A wine-tour honeymoon would be fantastic. Any of those places would be great.”

She kept riding until I finally climaxed. We hugged and kissed again. “Thank you, my dear. Was that my punishment for taking you to the jewelry store?”

“Yes, you naughty boy. Have you learned your lesson?”

“Yes, madam. Wait until we move into our new home. You’ll be punished the same way.”

“I can hardly wait!”

We cleaned up, brushed our teeth, and snuggled as we drifted off to sleep.
