We're getting near the end of our saga, people. A big life change takes place in this part of Eva and Jon's story. There is still some sex in this chapter, but the story itself is much more prominent. It looks like there will be one more chapter after this. The only thing I'll share is that Eva and Jon continue to be a very loyal and very loving couple, right to the end. And very happy together.

A few days after New Years (and Cammy's wedding) was my birthday and I was treated like a King. Well, a minor potentate, without the autocracy. I was a benevolent husband-father. Breakfast in bed, including real bacon instead of turkey bacon! Then my kids gave me tickets to a concert, a Bruce Springsteen show at what's now called the Wells Fargo Center in South Philly, for all six of us (Cammy and Kyle included) for April. And Rachel gave me a white rose and a wonderful hug and kiss. That might have been the best present I got that morning.
Then we asked the kids to give us a few minutes alone and Eva cuddled up next to me, sharing a strip of my bacon. Then we shared something much better, her delicious kisses. "I'm so glad we're sharing today, Bear. When I think about what could have been...." A single tear fell down her cheek and I kissed it away.
"I know, Angel. I know. We're good, though. We'll have a long time together. But now, more important things. Where's my present?" I 'demanded', a playful smile on my face.
"Take it easy, baby. I have your presents right here." First, she gave me a card, a kind of x-rated card with a funny double entendre along with a hand made 'coupon' for "Five nights of extremely dirty sex with your very willing wife."
"Oh, I like this one a lot. I'm cashing in the first night tonight."
"You don't have to. Tonight is not included in the five nights. Tonight is on the house" she said with a lusty, sexy kiss. I was already eager for her and it was only 11AM. I had a long day of suffering ahead of me, so I thought. Then she told me my other gifts were downstairs, so we got out of bed, leaving the food tray on the mattress for the time being. In the family room, Connor was finishing setting up a treadmill with all the electronic bells and whistles.
I was kind of underwhelmed. "Thanks, Angel, but I don't understand."
"It's simple, Bear. We can't play tennis together for a few more months. We're both getting a little soft in the legs and the middle. So this might not be what you had your heart set on. But I want both our hearts to stay strong. This is as much for me as for you. I want us to stay healthy and strong. I'm planning on spending at least another forty years with you. Maybe fifty or more. So we have to get back into shape, Jon. Now, come with me into the library." She took my hand and led the way down the hall to where we kept all our books and music. On the stand by the window was a brand new digital satellite stereo system and there were new Bose speakers set up in there, in the living room and in the family room, small and almost inconspicuous but with high quality sound. This was more like it.
"Honey, this is awesome! I love this! Remote control and everything! I love you!" I held her in my good arm and kissed her with all my love in front of Rachel and Connor. Connor grinned broadly and Rachel just giggled. I waved them over and we had a nice four way family hug. "And I'm sorry if I was unappreciative about the treadmill. I understand why you bought it and it's a good idea. I am getting a little flabby in the middle. Thank you, my Angel. You're the best wife anywhere."
"You're very welcome, Honey Bear. You almost hurt my feelings before" Eva said with an exaggerated pout. "I'm just looking out for our health. And I miss playing tennis with you."
Our kids let go, but we stayed in our hug. I could have held her all day. We kissed a couple of times and sat down with Rachel and Connor and just enjoyed the rest of our morning. We played some music, Rachel accompanying on her guitar (I was worried I might never be able to play again). It was a great morning together, a family day, with just five days before Connor had to report back to Annapolis. After a light lunch, Connor said to his mother "I'm going to take Rachel to the mall and to pick up Dad's cake. We'll be gone about two hours." They exchanged a look and I knew what my wife had in mind, a little time alone with her husband. He turned to Rachel and said "Come on, Squirt. Let's go to the mall and then we'll get Dad's cake."
I looked at Eva as they got their coats on and she smirked at me. Then, after Rachel gave me a hug and kiss, as she and Connor went out the door, our precocious daughter said to her brother "Connor, are we leaving so Mom and Dad can have sex?" We heard Connor break out in laughter as the door closed, then Eva and I did the same.
"She's pretty damn sharp" Eva said through her hearty laughter. "But I don't know if I want her to be THAT sharp!"
"We're going to have our hands full with her, aren't we?" Eva held me in her arms and kissed me passionately. "By the way, was she right?"
"Oh, yes. Today and then again tonight. I love that your birthday is during our Winter break every year. We can always enjoy the day, one way or another. But today, I want to enjoy you the Other Way. Now, we have two hours. So just turn on some music, something soft and sexy and I will be right behind you in the library. Go on." She shooed me into the library and I got a little familiar with the new stereo with the satellite system. I found a channel for some slow jazz and I stoked the fire in the fireplace.
"Knock, knock" Eva said from the doorway, in a soft and sensual voice. I turned around to find her wearing just a black satin nightie, very short, even on her petite body. "I've got another birthday present for you." She slipped next to me, the satin of her lingerie making a slight crinkling sound as she rubbed her body all over mine.
"My god, Devil. You really know how to make an entrance." We kissed as she gently helped me get out of my shirt. It hurt, any movement of my left shoulder was still painful, but not as bad as it was a few weeks before. When I started physical therapy in a few days that would change, it would hurt like a motherfucker, but I wasn't going to worry about that right then. I had more important things on my mind. We got my arm back in the sling and then Eva took off my pants and my boxers and she gently grasped my hard cock as if it was injured as well. It was a loving and sensuous touch, skilled and desirous.
"We're going to enjoy being by the fire, my sexy Bear. I love it when we make love by the fire. Sweet love by the fire." We giggled at the line from the show South Park, an early episode, a show that appealed to our sometimes warped and subversive senses of humor.
