Authors note * I've had several messages asking when chapter 16 would be published even though it was published a few weeks ago, and once I looked it appears it's not in the proper listing sync. If you haven't read chapter 16 but want to read it first to follow the story in a continuous flow, you will find it in the series listing on my profile page, just not in the proper order.
For whatever reason, story title has been limited with fewer characters, so the upcoming chapters will be listed as C16, C17, C18 and so on rather than the previous Ch.16, Ch.17. I hate that this throws the chapter listings out of sync, but it is what it is.

Chapter 17
It's another Friday morning, staring at my scheduling screen as texts are coming in from subcontractors. Thankfully Jill has gotten past her uneasiness and rode with Ashley to school this morning so I can work. Hopefully the new car title will arrive soon, and she can start driving herself.
Glancing out the window it's overcast and a bit dark out for this time of the morning, and I'm glad the basement walls were poured yesterday. Hopefully Miguel's crew can get the metal forms out before the rain starts.
Invoices posted and my bank account balanced, I'm feeling really good about my finances having closed on #116, my first high end house yesterday. After all was said and done, I ended up with a check for close to 59k and need to get it deposited today.
I sit back with my hands behind my head thinking, 'Rachel has had a lot of interest in #12 and that should net about $26k if it sells soon. I should have #132 ready to about the time we leave for vacation for another 60k or so and will only pick up as summer arrives.'
I've updated my progress screen.
#38 lot cleaned up with rough grade, HVAC roughed-in, electrical started
#42 basement walls in.
#132 brick 75% complete, trim work completed.
#56 drywall finished.
#12 listed, week 6.
#116 closed.
Now working on next week's goals.
#38 finish electrical, schedule inspections, start insulation/drywall.
#42 install drainpipe fill rock, pour floor, coat basement walls and back fill. Install temp electric service, order framing package.
#132 paint, order cabinets, flooring, form and pour drive and walks.
#56 start trim work, install water and sewer lines.
Decide on three more building lots.
My train of thought is broken when Jill leans around my office door, "Hey, just wanted to let you know I'm back."
"Did the drive go ok?"
"Yep, I'm going back upstairs to work out while you're working," and she disappears.
"Hey!"
Jill appears at the door again, "What baby, you need more coffee?"
"No, but how about a kiss."
She starts to grin and comes walking around my desk ready to work out in her one-piece romper, and tennis shoes. I sit back, pushing my chair away from my desk as she comes closer. I can never seem to get over how petite and fit Jill is, and this little romper has to be my favorite.
Snug as a glove in powder blue with a white stripe up each side. Sleeveless with a low scoop neck, backless to the arch of her back, and simply amazing is this woman's perfectly proportioned little body. Her toned ass cheeks are so round in the back with an outstanding leg gap in front, and the way that romper pulls up into her crotch is icing on the cake.
She leans down for a kiss, and of course I just have to grab that ass for a good squeeze as she's standing back up.
"Now, now, you need to get your work done!" giving me that 'you naughty boy' look, and off she goes.
I sat there for a minute knowing Jill got time off, but she didn't say anything about her status. I'm assuming she didn't quit, or she would have told me. It's not that I expected her to as I did suggest it out of the blue.

Another hour has passed, and stealing a quickie with Jill while Ashley was getting ready for school let me get started early. I woke up with morning wood and there was Jill, half asleep on her stomach so I straddled her from behind, my knees on each side of her hips, and my cock looked huge laying in the valley between her round, yet petite ass cheeks
"Mm, morning baby," stretching her arms forward with a wag of that beautiful ass.
Her legs held together between my calves, she knew what I was after and simply pushed herself back to arch her rear up, offering that kitty to be mounted. There is nothing better than the visual of gripping Jill's hips and watching my cock spreading her open. Then a good pounding doggie fuck to dump another load deep in her treasure to start my day.
Without Jill distracting me for sex while I'm working this morning, I have checks printed, and it's just after 10:00 to hit the road like I used to do, and head upstairs.
I found Jill in the bathroom putting on her makeup getting ready for work. She decided on a knee length, flowery patterned peasant style dress, and those brown knee boots that lace up the front. Her rear is out as she leans into the mirror working on her eye shadow.
I can't resist standing behind her, pulling that loose flowing dress up along her thighs to lay it up and over her rear, and what a sight. The smooth soft skin of her thighs run up to a pair of silky white panties being pulled tight into the cleavage of those round cheeks as she arches over the counter.
Now, I just fucked Jill a couple of hours ago, but damn if I'm not addicted to this little spinner body. She is so petite, like a doll with an ass that is so fucking perfect!
With her dress pushed up in the arch of her back, I keep moving my hands up along her waist, reaching around to squeeze her tits only to find her strapped in a bra. She stops what she's doing, looking at me in the mirror, and backs that fine rear end of hers into my package with a little wag.
"Be a good boy, let me finish." with a grin.
"Just wanted to let you know I'm taking off for the day."
Jill raises halfway, her dress falls as I lean forward to kiss her cheek, and it feels like we have settled in as a real couple now. We fuck every morning, yet give each other space like now to take care of what we need to, and there isn't any need to sneak around Ashley the way she did that first week or so after they moved in.

First stop is #42, and the crew has most of the forms broken down and loaded on several racks. The flatbed crane truck just started to load. The sky looks like it could start raining anytime, but they should be out of the hole and gone in another hour or so.
There's no one at #132 which is no surprise that Steve would waste time trying to lay bricks for just a few hours, so I'll need to catch up with him later.
When making my rounds I always go inside to check progress anytime on site, discuss any issues, and today distribute checks. After a long discussion with the electricians about appliance locations, outside fixtures, and recessed lighting at #38, I return to my truck to find I've missed texts.
Steve is wanting to hook up to get his check, and Ashley's track practice canceled this afternoon, wanting to see if I could pick her up after school.
I reply to Steve, "I'm headed to 'lil Italy' to grab a sandwich and a beer."
Then replied to Ashley, "Yes, if you want to look at building lots before we go home."
Steve replies, "See you in 20 minutes."
Ashley replies, "Really? Ok," with a smiley face icon.

Sipping on a draft beer, I'm waiting for my sub sandwich, and a second mug to arrive. My phone rings, but it's not from anyone in my caller list. You never know if it's possibly a new client, so I answer and hear a familiar voice.
"Is this Andy?"
"This is he, what can I do for you?"
"It's Dan. I told you I would call."
"Hey brother, good to hear from you."
Our conversation goes into full swing, practically talking over each other catching up on the past ten years. I filled him in on my building business and found myself in love for the first time since Sheri.
Dan tells me about moving to Nashville some eight years ago in pursuit of his music career. The scene there is chock full of clubs keeping him employed with several bands, studio work, and taking on a part time job at a music store after Cheryl passed to fill his time.
Steve slides into the booth across from me, my sandwich sits in front of me, and I haven't taken the first bite. I'm listening to Dan, and hold up a finger to Steve, indicating I'm wrapping up.
"Dan, it's great to talk to you, but I have someone here I need to take care of. I have your number now, so let's stay in touch."
"Yeah man, I think we have another gig up your way in a couple of weeks. Maybe get together then," and the call ends.
I take my first bite and slide his envelope across the table. I've been thinking about how I can get guys paid on the Friday we will be out of town, and this is a good time to talk with him about it. He's probably my best buddy. I know I can trust, and count on him.
