Molly was shocked. She thought she'd never hear his voice again, let alone see him. She didn't know what to say to him.
"Hello?" he said. Molly shook her head and started to say something.
"Yeah, I'm here," she said finally.
"Oh, good. I thought maybe you hung up on me," he said, relieved. The thought did cross my mind, she thought to herself.
"No, I'm just in shock," she said quietly.
"Why? Oh, because I left so suddenly and didn't tell you. Yeah, I can see that," he said. Molly fought back tears.
"Look, I'm really sorry for doing that. You know things were really fucked up around here before I left. I should have let you know that I was okay before now...can you forgive me?" he said. Molly closed her eyes, fighting harder not to start bawling. She took in a deep breath. I hope I don't regret this.
"Of course, I forgive you. I love you, and I totally understand why you left," she replied.
"I love you, too, and I've really missed you, like I did after high school," he said softly. Molly was beginning to feel emotionally drained from fighting her emotions so hard. She felt a tear squeeze out of the corner of her left eye and slide slowly down her cheek. She sniffed loudly without meaning to.
"Aw, honey, are you crying? I am so sorry," he said. Molly let loose.
"Yes, I'm crying! You hint around that you MIGHT leave, then you do without even telling me you're okay, then you expect me to just forgive you for it? If I didn't love you as much as I do, I'd tell you to go fuck yourself!" she yelled. Silence filled not only the other end, but everyone who had been unloading the truck stopped dead and stared at her. Molly felt the eyes on her, looked around then excused herself outside.
"I know that I can't change how I did things, but I really am sorry. I could've gone about it differently, but I didn't want you to see me in the state I was in. You wouldn't have recognized me," he explained.
"Erik, I love you. I know things were screwed up, but if you were any different than when you were here, I still would've recognized you. I love you and I want to be there for you. I told you I would be by your side as long as you wanted me there. I'm not joking," she said.
"I know you're not. That's just one of the many reasons I still love you."
"I guess I need to know what's going to happen now," she said. There was a moment of silence on the other end.
"I'm coming home in a couple of months. I would like to see you and if you still want to be with me, I'd like to start building our relationship. I still want you. I miss everything about you so much. I haven't stopped thinking about you the entire time I've been away. You are the stability I've needed in my life. I still want that," he said. Molly sniffed.
"I want that, too. I miss you. My body misses yours. So many nights, I just wanted to have you next to me, even if it was just to feel someone next to me. I've been a mess since you took off. I don't like that feeling," she said.
"I know, and I don't think I could've handled seeing you like that. I'm really sorry. I can't wait to hold you again. I hope you forgive me. I love you," he said.
"Just come home soon."
"I will."
A few nights later, Molly was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, as she did so many nights before. Except this time, she was thinking of the things she wanted to do with Erik once he came home. She also remembered the night they had spent in a hotel during their class reunion. The reunion itself was a bit lame, but the night was one she would never forget. He had suggested that particular hotel to her. She called and booked a room for two for one night. As that weekend was near, she became more excited. She moved around the house with an air of happiness. She knew her middle child would be going to her parents for the next week, while her other two would be at her ex's parents' house for the weekend until their dad would pick them up. She had the weekend to herself, and Erik to herself as well. She wasn't sure what he had planned for that night, but she was definitely looking forward to it. They checked in at the hotel and went up to their room. He opened the door ahead of her. She entered, looking around in amazement. The room was beautiful. A two-person hot tub was in one corner, and the bed was huge! The dΓ©cor was beautiful, but that really didn't matter. She figured that neither of them would be paying much attention to it later. She set down her suitcase and took off her shoes before walking around the room. She felt his presence behind her as she stopped to look out the French doors to the balcony overlooking a very swollen river below. She felt his arms move around her waist, pulling her back up against him. He nuzzled her neck with his nose and lips as she enjoyed the view outside.
"This could be interesting," she said.
"What's that?" he asked, not looking up.
"Balcony, darkness later...are you thinking what I'm thinking now?" she grinned mischievously. She could feel him smiling as he held his face against her neck.
"Might be something we could try later, if it's not too cool out...or raining," he said. He lifted his head and spun her around to face him. He pulled her closer and looked deep into her eyes.
"I love you, and I want you to enjoy yourself tonight," he said softly. She smiled.
"I love you, and I doubt that will be a problem," she replied. "In the meantime, I should get ready." He cradled her face in his hands and gently yet passionately kissed her. After a few minutes, she giggled as she slowly pulled away.
"I really need to get ready now," she whispered. He smiled back and reluctantly let her go. He turned and walked to the hot tub as she began to undress. She turned her back towards him as she took off her shorts and tank top. As she was attempting to remove her bra, she felt his arms around her again. This time he held her tighter than before, and began to playfully nibble her neck. He remembered how she reacted when he did that to her before. This time he wasn't going to stop until he was ready to. As he bit her beautiful skin, she let soft moans escape from her throat. He bit a little harder and she took in a quick and sudden breath. He reached down in front of her, between her legs and began to tickle her lips. In his search for her clit, she began to moan louder. He bit harder still. She felt like she was about to climax right then and there. He lifted his head and bent her over at her waist, gently pushing her into the bed chest first and removing her panties. He entered her from behind, her favorite position. He wasted no time in setting his rhythm. He pounded away, going faster and harder with each sound she made. He put on foot on the side rail if the bed to give his thrusts more leverage. She buried her face into the comforter and began to groan loudly as he continued his powerful thrusts. She reached down and began to rub herself furiously. If his thrusts were giving her this sensation now, a little help would make this orgasm a million times bigger. The faster he thrust, the louder she became, the more intense her orgasm became. As he neared climax, he began to pump even harder and deeper into her. He could feel her wetness as it thickly coated his aching cock. She had been more than ready and willing. He reached under her and began to squeeze her breasts and nipples as he drove into her with such force that she was sure her eyes were going to pop out of her head. She kept her face planted in the comforter and her groans became shouts as he kept his pace up nicely. She didn't want it to end, but on the other hand she did. She loved what he was doing to her, but she knew that if it kept up, they'd never get to the reunion...although she was sure he wouldn't have minded it. If she hadn't offered to say something at the dinner, she would've skipped out, too. But a promise is a promise. She began to meet his thrusts with her hips, increasing the sensation she was feeling. She could hear him grunting softly behind her, his hands on her hips guiding her. This was even better than the night in the bathroom. She heard his familiar inhale as he pulled out and released his cum outside of her. She wished he would've done it inside of her, but she didn't want to become pregnant again yet, and neither one had used protection. She had some, but it was for later. This was a spontaneous romp. She heard him panting as he continued to spill.
"You okay," she asked.
"Yeah, I'm good," he said. She stood up and turned around.
"Oh, my god!" she said, looking down at the floor. She had seen guys who spilled a lot, but not this much.
"What?" he asked, alarmed.
"I don't think I've ever seen that much from one person before."
