The sound of a car pulling up to the house was unmistakable now.
Ava was the first to react. She stuffed Adam's cock, still mostly hard and leaking cum, into his shorts, hurriedly pulling them up. Adam was still looking over his shoulder, his attention fixed on the sound of the car coming to a stop, horrified that his indiscretions were about to be discovered. What would Melanie think? How would he get any more clients for the year?
"Adam, we need to move quick." Ava drew his attention as she stood up and placed a hand on his shoulder. "You need to put your shirt back on."
Ava pressed something quickly into Adam's hand. When he looked down, he saw it was his sweat-soaked, crumpled tank top and a wad of money. He looked back up and straight into those crystal clear eyes again, this time wild with panic rather than desire. Though even in this moment, Ava's tongue snaked out of her mouth to lick up a stray drop of cum on her cheek.
It was then that Adam noticed that most of Ava's face and upper body were completed caked with his load. A car door opened and slammed from around the front of the house. How were they possibly going to get away with this?
"You're going to put that top on, collect your things, and start making your way around to the front," Ava said, as if seeing the question on his face. "I'm going to put these back on and jump in the pool."
Ava already had one leg in her bikini thong, using her hand on Adam's shoulder to balance on her pumps as she kicked each one off in turn. She turned on her side as she put the other leg into her thong, letting go of Adam as she pulled it up and over her hips. The way her ass jiggled as she did so momentarily revived Adam's rapidly deflating cock.
"Get your things," Ava said urgently, gesturing to the hedge trimmers and pool cleaning equipment just outside the gate. A small smile curled her lips, but her eyes were serious. She was already bent over, settling her full breasts into the tiny triangles of her bikini top, and tying it behind her back.
"My things? Oh, right, yeah..." Adam stammered as he walked dazedly toward the pool gate. He could still feel the soft hum of his recent orgasm in his spine, his neck and shoulders sitting a full inch lower from the release of tension, that dopey satisfaction coursing through his brain. He opened the pool gate and started gathering up his gear. He heard the car trunk slam.
"Adam, your top," Ava hissed. As much as she loved the broad shoulders and narrow, ripped waist of this hunky college boy, having them bare and on display would end this deception before it had even started. Adam looked down, realizing his mistake, and quickly pulled the creased tank over his head.
As he was bent over gathering up his seemingly unending bundle of secateurs, scoop nets, and pool chemicals, Adam heard a neat splash behind him followed by the sound of Ava surfacing in the water.
"Great ass," she said with a cheekiness that suddenly rammed home to Adam the reality of the situation. He felt the guilt begin to take over from the shock he'd been feeling.
Adam stood up, clutching his equipment awkwardly, and feeling a deep blush spreading across his face. Embarrassed wasn't a strong enough word for the cocktail of emotions he was beginning to feel.
At that moment, the door to the lanai adjoining the house and pool flew open and a solid, balding man in his early 40s, who Adam recognized as Ava's husband, Kevin, emerged. He had a huge grin on his face.
"Babe, I got in ear..." Kevin declared before his eyes settled on Adam. "Oh, Aaron, how are you? Where's Ava?"
Adam's mouth gaped and he clumsily dropped his secateurs, unable to form words for what seemed like the hundredth time that day. He did, however, feel the slightest wave of anger over the fact that Kevin still couldn't get his name right.
"Yoohoo, honey, over here!" came a cry from behind Adam. Ava had propped herself up on her elbows on the side of the pool, her considerable bust showing as she waved a painted hand at her husband.
Kevin took a step to the side and looked past Adam. Adam was sure the jig was up. Kevin would be furious just to see how little his wife had been wearing around Adam. As if to confirm Adam's thoughts, Kevin turned his attention back towards him, his eyes narrowing. Time seemed to stop.
"Oh, babe, don't tell me you've been swimming around while this boy has been doing all the hard work?" Kevin asked, breaking the silence and throwing his head back to let out a hacking laugh. He walked over to Adam and patted him on the shoulder.
Ava's laugh tinkled behind Adam, but he thought he could hear a tone of relief in it. Adam half-smiled, more in astonishment than anything.
"You know I don't normally slack off when things get hard!" Ava said, the double entendre obvious to Adam. "But, yes, Adam did such a good job with the pool and it's such a hot day that I couldn't resist getting wet while he worked on the garden."
Kevin's hand was still on Adam's shoulder and he risked a glance behind him. Ava's nipples were clearly visible through the crimson fabric of her bikini top, her wet, chestnut hair tousled over her shoulders. She flashed him a quick smile before turning her attention back to Kevin.
"Adam was just leaving, honey," Ava continued lightly. "He's been so busy here for hours and it must have sucked it right out of him." Adam's eyes widened as he was temporarily transported back to just a few minutes earlier, his fingers tangled in Ava's hair, her plump lips wrapped around his shaft as she moaned around him.
"Isn't that right, Adam?" Ava asked in a slightly more serious tone. Her words snapped Adam out of his daze and he realized Kevin was staring at him.
"Yeah, sorry, Av... Miss Thomson, Mr... uh...," Adam choked out, remembering that Kevin had a different last name to Ava, but realizing he didn't know it.
Again, Adam thought he was about to be caught. He could swear that he could smell the tell-tale scent of his cum-leaking cock. He assumed that Kevin could smell it from this close too.
"Taylor," Kevin said, smiling.
"Right. Mr Taylor. Sorry, yeah, I'm absolutely knackered," Adam said. Kevin only smiled and nodded in an understanding way.
"It's a hot day, buddy," he said. "You even look like you got a bit sunburnt." Given the amount of sunscreen he'd applied earlier that afternoon, Adam suspected that his "sunburn" was actually either the flush of post-orgasmic bliss or the blush of almost being rumbled by Ava's husband with his cock down her throat, but he just smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, probably, Mr Taylor," he said. "Anyway, I better get going."
Adam had only gone a few feet when Ava called out.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye, Adam?"
Adam froze, but turned around quickly, his brain finally starting to work at normal speed. Ava was pouting, her lips forming a perfect 'O' that risked transporting Adam back in time again.
"Uh, yeah, sorry, Miss Thomson, see you next time" he called out. "Enjoy the pool," he followed up a moment later.
Kevin walked over to Adam then, digging his hand into his trousers and pulling out his wallet. He started leafing through the contents, counting out the bills.
"Oh, no, Mr Taylor, it's okay, Av... Miss Thomson's already paid me," Adam said, putting a hand up in refusal.
"No, Adam, I insist," Kevin said firmly, as he wedged several hundred dollar bills into Adam's fingers that were still gripping the pole of the scoop net. "It's a very hot day and I can't imagine the state that Ava let the garden get into while I was gone. I'm sure you deserve it, whatever you did for her today."
Adam just nodded, completely dumbstruck by that last comment, before making his way down the side access to the front of the house. Once he'd crammed all of the equipment into his beaten up sedan, he got in and started it up.
Adam pressed his face against the steering wheel, letting out a long sigh. He was relieved, but the guilt and shame he'd felt earlier was creeping back in.
With one final look back at the house, Adam put the car in drive and trundled down the long driveway, unsure that he'd ever be able to put that afternoon behind him.
***
Adam stood in front of the door to the apartment he shared with Melanie and took a deep breath. He'd decided on the drive home that he'd tell his girlfriend everything. He'd fucked up and she deserved to know the truth, whatever she decided to do with it.
He entered his key into the lock, turned it, and pushed the door open.
The TV was on with what looked like the latest episode of "Perfect Match" on Netflix. Melanie turned on the couch and looked up at Adam giving him her usual crooked smile.
