how Addy was going to get prepared for the surgery, and we headed out the door.
Once we got out into the fresh air, we all three hugged. “I’m so relieved,” I said to Addy. “I was so scared.”
“Me too, mom. Me too.”
At that, we headed home.
N ick and I lay on the couch after dinner. We made a little “date” to watch a movie while Addy hung out upstairs, ostensibly studying, but I had the suspicion that she was actually talking on the phone. I interlaced my fingers with his while we both lay on the couch. He had his hand in my hair, and he caressed it while we tried to concentrate on the movie. It was tough, though. We had such good news from the doctor that day that both of us were feeling a sense of relief. Because we were feeling less stress, we both felt more desire for each other.
Nick kissed me while I lay in his arms. We were in the dark, in our den, and I suddenly felt that it was only him and I in the world. Just like when we first started dating – the whole world, and all its stress, faded into the background. “We aren't out of the woods yet,” Nick said as he gently stroked my shoulder. “But today was a very good day.”
I just nodded. “Why don’t we go and watch some television in the bedroom?” I asked him. This was code, of course, for us going up to the bedroom and doing stuff that have nothing to do with watching TV or anything else like that.
He picked me up in his strong arms, and I was once again struck by how strong he still was. He certainly did keep in shape, unlike most men his age. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he made his way up the stairs. “I’m such a lucky woman,” I said. “To have somebody like you by my side.” I really felt that way, too. Nick never let me fall too deeply into a hole. He always brought me back, right when I needed to be. He was a great dad and a great husband. Thinking back to how it all began, I couldn’t believe that we had come this far and still were deeply in love.
He opened the door to our bedroom, and laid me down on the bed. He unbuttoned my blouse, one by one, agonizingly slow. My breathing came faster and faster as his nimble fingers deftly made their way down my breasts and to my waist. His sensuous lips brushed my belly button lightly, making me giggle. I was just a little bit ticklish in this particular area of my body, but it still felt absolutely wonderful. He smiled at me while he slowly made his way to grazing my thighs, making all the hairs on my body stand at attention. The familiar burst of electricity coursed through my body as he expertly pulled down my pants and underwear, and his lips found my clit. I felt my netherparts swell while his lips and tongue expertly caressed my opening.
He placed one leg carefully in between my own as he grinded into me. I unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his chest, which was still rock-hard, and his shoulders, which were just as hard. It was amazing to me that he was still made of steel, and he was still so drop-dead gorgeous that women, even women in their twenties, turned around to stare at him as he walked down the street. That had to do with his confidence, too, because his walk was purposeful. When he approached you, you knew it. Everyone could feel his heat, especially me.
He kissed my lips as he entered me. I gasped, because he was filling me up. I breathed through my nose and mouth, and I took him into me deeper and deeper. I put my hands on the small of his back, willing him to go as deeply inside me as he possibly could. I wrapped my legs around him as he stroked in and out, kissing me the entire time. His hands were lightly brushing my breasts and my abs and my clit. I was being driven crazy with desire.
He came inside me and then lay down beside me. He kissed me lightly on the forehead as he stared at me. “You’re amazing, you know that?” he asked me.
“No. You are. You’ve been so able to keep it together. I had my moment of crazy, and my moments of
