Life's Next Chapter by Sarah Goodman

Sliding into the warm water is liberating. The feel of her warm skin against mine makes my dick jump to attention. Kate leans into me and slowly sips her beer. I take mine and drink. We stare out her huge glass window and look at the acres of grassland she has. I place the beer back on the small table and rub my hands up and down her arms, across her collarbone and along her neck. Leaning down, I slowly kiss her neck.
    “Sunshine, please talk to me.”
    She places her beer on the small table, and sits up. I think she is going to get out, but when she turns around to straddle me, the panic in my chest subsides. I lean forward so she can wrap her legs around my waist, and with her hips pressing my dick into my lower abdomen, I can only hope she will repeat history.
    “I have to tell you something, and I don’t think you’re going to be happy.” Her eyes have turned serious and her voice is subdued.
    I guess history won’t repeat itself.
     

 

     
     

     
     
    LUKE HAS LEFT me alone in the bathroom, which I needed desperately. His words have sliced through my heart. It was my fault I messed up with Keith, and to know I could have possibly messed this up before it even started is making me sick to my stomach. During the heat of the moment in the truck I didn’t think about anything. Obviously. But the drive back to Ocala made me think. I thought of all the stupid mistakes I made with Keith. However, I learned sometimes a mistake, or a mishap, can be a true blessing. My daughters weren’t planned; nevertheless, they are the biggest blessing I could ever imagine. I can only hope Luke is as accepting of my mistakes.
    I finally slide into the tub. The warm water melts away some of my tension, but not as much as I was hoping. I look out the window and as much as I don’t want to, I cry because I like Luke and I don’t want him to leave me. Our date tonight has got to be the best date I’ve ever had. Granted I didn’t go on many dates, hell I haven’t had that many lovers, including Luke, if that even counts. Oh God!! What have I done?
    Luke returns with a beer for me. “Thank you.” I so need some more alcohol courage for what I am about to tell him. He strips in front of me and if I didn’t have this mind blowing secret to tell him, I would have oohed and aahed over his magnificent cock and his sexier than hell body. He slides in behind me, and all the nerves in my body start to quiver; my blood is boiling, and my hormones are swirling around, like a tornado. I inhale the beer, as if I was dying from thirst. I know this moment is awkward, and I am earnestly trying to find the strength to talk to him. Knowing I will have to look in those eyes of his makes me cry.
    He asks me to talk to him, so it is now or never, well technically not never. He would eventually find out. So, I muster up the courage, and stand up so I can turn around and sit in his lap. Even though I can feel his cock against me, I can’t think about sex without knowing I am going to hurt him. Just like Danielle did.
    “Luke, I have to be honest with you. It was my fault I got pregnant with the girls. I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose. I wasn’t looking to get pregnant. I was switching birth controls, and during the process I didn’t use a backup method.”
    With his big calloused hands gripping my face, he looks at me and says, “Kate, I don’t know how you learned all about the birds and the bees, but it takes two to make a baby. So, I can see where you think it’s entirely your fault, but it’s also Keith’s. Where was his back up method? I don’t believe it’s solely the woman’s responsibility. Men need to take action, too.”
    I have a feeling he will change his mind in about sixty seconds. “Well, then hold onto that thought because…I haven’t been on birth control since I found out I was pregnant with the girls.”
    I can’t peel my eyes away from his. I am waiting for him to throw me across this tub and haul ass out of my
