Cara knew that she would have a busy week ahead of her. The marketing project that she was working on for her company was pretty intense even though she had worked with the client before. It was a lot more detailed than the last time and required her full attention.
The good thing is she was able to work from home for most of this week. That was only really made possible because the kids were in school so she'd have the majority of the day to herself and by the time her husband John got home, he could help with the kids...hopefully.
He was actually even busier than she was working as an engineer. His hours could be quite demanding but these past couple weeks he's been a bit more flexible.
The only other wrinkle was that she agreed to pick up her good friend Amanda's kids from school this week while she was out of town for work. Her husband Michael ran his own construction/remodeling business and he had his hands full. Business was good, but he just lost two important employees over the course of a couple of weeks and the extra work was falling on him.
Cara was happy to lend a helping hand and it was easy since their kids both went to the same schools. The routine was pretty easy, she would take a break from her work and go and pick up her daughter Charlotte and Amanda's daughter Riley from school. The older kids, her daughter Zoe and son Noah as well as Amanda's son William would take the bus to Cara's house.
Once the kids were home she gave them snacks and let them watch movies or go out and play. They all got along well and were pretty low maintenance. Plus it was only for this week, so she could manage.
After a while Cara became so into her work that she sorta lost track of time and before she knew it, Michael was at the door to pick up the kids. Fortunately he was able to finish up a bit early today.
"Kids your dad is here" Cara called out from the kitchen where she was working on her laptop. But they were all too busy to pay much attention. The boys into their video games and the girls watching some silly movie on Netflix.
Cara made her way to the front door to let Michael in.
"Hi Mike" she greeted him. "Had a good day?"
She was always a bit happy to see Michael. She secretly had quite the crush on him. Happily married for 12 years she and John got a long wonderfully, there were no complaints about anything and she was still madly in love with her husband. But from the first time she met Michael when her family moved across the street from them there was just something about him that caught her attention.
She couldn't be sure but it always seemed like he noticed her too. There were the regular flirty remarks, but it was always in a joking manner as is common among friends. Sometimes his glance would linger a bit longer than expected on her 5'6 athletic frame, her 34d breasts, her toned legs and ass. Especially whenever he would join her and Amanda on their occasional morning runs and she'd be in her yoga pants and workout top.
But there was no way to know for sure what that all meant as it was likely innocent as these things tend to be.
But from her side, there was no mistaking. As the time passed and she and Amanda became fast friends she found herself looking forward to when their discussions turned to sex. According to Amanda, Michael was an amazing lover. It helped that he had a thick 7 inch cock and an amazing tongue. Cara found that after so many of their discussions she would leave with soaked panties and having to masturbate thinking about Amanda getting fucked by Michael. It was that Amanda left no detail out, always giving Cara the dirtiest version possible of their encounters.
So not only was Cara happy to see Michael because it meant that her house would be less two kids, it also meant that she could see Michael and his inviting smile.
"Just glad the day is over" Michael replied, entering the house.
"Well at least you got done a bit early."
Whatever it was, was happening again. Despite the ride from his worksite to Cara's house, Michael still had a bit of a sheen of sweat on him, his clothes sorta clung to his well built frame. He was well built not necessarily from the gym but from the physical nature of his work. He had strong shoulders and hands and Cara loved the way they felt.
Cara called out to the kids again. This time they answered with complaint. Both the boys and girls wanted to finish what they were doing, which they promised would only be a few minutes.
Michael was too tired to object, he looked at Cara who gave an approving nod.
"You all got 15 minutes" he shouted to them.
He just sat down on the bar stool at the island in the kitchen next to where Cara's laptop and tablet were sitting.
"Want some water?" Cara offered
"Sure thanks. So what you working on?" he asked looking at her computer and tablet
