Chapter Two
We'd arranged a wakeup call for nine the next morning, but I was still startled when the phone rang. I sat straight up in the bed and winced, the sudden movement making my ass scream for mercy. Andrew groaned and picked it up.
"Yeah, we're awake, thank you."
He dropped the receiver back on the cradle and stared at me, his expression wary. "Are you all right?"
"Good morning, to you too," I quipped, stretching gingerly.
"Dammit, Marri, I'm not kidding. Are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Why?"
"I got a little out of control last night," he said, pulling me into his arms. "I'm so, so sorry."
"I'm not."
"What?"
"Andrew, I've never cum that hard. Never."
"Christ Marri, I practically raped you!"
"You can't rape the willing."
He rolled his eyes. "Marri..."
"No, Andrew, you listen to me. Last night was intense. And I fucking loved it. Hearing you call me names, feeling your belt on my ass, having you pound into me, it was incredible. I came so hard I nearly passed out."
"I made you cry."
"So you have a bit of a sadistic side in the bedroom. Is that so horrible?"
"Is it?"
"In case you haven't noticed, it goes well with my slight masochistic streak. I'd say it makes us about even."
He was silent for a few seconds, apparently pondering everything I'd said. Finally he spoke again, his face full of love and tenderness. "I still feel guilty for hurting you."
"I suppose you could always make it up to me."
"When do we have to leave?"
"I'd like to be back on the road by ten."
"Think I can make it up to you in less than an hour?"
"I bet you can if you try really hard."
He guided my hand to his crotch and settled it on his cock. "I can try very hard."
"I noticed that," I murmured, giving it a little squeeze and starting a gentle up and down tugging motion. He groaned and pushed my hand away.
"You'd better stop it if you don't want me to cum all over you."
"No, I want you cum inside of me."
He groaned again and rolled us over in one smooth motion, flipping me onto my back with him propped over me. He looked down at me and smiled. "I really do love you, Marri."
"I love you too."
He slid into me and held himself still for a few moments. I raised my hips to meet him and he started pumping in and out of me. In total contrast to the previous night's fucking, this was slow and deliberate and full of tenderness.
We moved together easily, our low moans filling the room. He kissed my lips, his tongue filling my mouth as his cock filled my pussy. I reached climax quickly and pulled him even closer, groaning into his mouth.
He stiffened and came as well, his load filling my snatch. We stayed in that position for well over a minute, just staring at each other and reveling in being together.
Finally, we reluctantly pulled apart and took a quick shower. We pulled on our clothes and went back down to the office to turn in the key. The manager was smiling broadly at Andrew and even looking directly at me as well.
"Thank you, Mr. Birch. I hope your stay was pleasant."
"Perfect, thanks."
We were about to leave when the manager spoke up again. "Quite a little hellcat you've got there. The man in the room below yours sends his applause."
I blushed and whirled around to tell exactly what they could do with their applause, but Andrew stopped me with a light hand on my arm. "Well, you can tell him I hope I didn't make him feel too inadequate."
We left the manager open-mouthed and goggling after us. We got in the car and drove away, heading toward a small waffle house for breakfast. I was still livid and Andrew knew it, but he just smiled.
"Come on, Marri, who cares if they heard."
"I don't care that they heard us. I just don't like being discussed by a couple of guys like they're in a locker room."
"It's been my experience that they only discuss other people's great sex because they aren't getting any of their own. Now come on, cheer up. We'll be at your parents' in a few more hours. And we'll stay at a different hotel on the way home okay?"
I nodded grudgingly and ate the blueberry pancakes the waitress brought over. Once my stomach was full, I felt better. Really, in the grand scheme of things, who cared if a couple of strangers talked about my sexual prowess. Maybe they managed to learn a few things.
Feeling pretty chipper, we paid and walked hand in hand back to the car. The sky was bright white with clouds and I hoped we'd have some snow on the ground in time for Christmas.

"Marri! God, you look great!" my sister Gwendolyn squealed as she barreled across the driveway and into my arms. I laughed and hugged her fiercely.
"Hey, Gwen. Thanks. You look good, too."
We looked absolutely nothing alike. She was a petite, willowy blond and I was blessed with my mother's side's broad frame. But I still loved her to death. We were just under two years apart and she'd always looked up to me. No one was really surprised when she decided to pick psychology as her major, too, but I'd encouraged her to change it in her sophomore year of undergrad work. Her real passion was computers and technology, so I convinced her to stick with that instead.
She pulled back and looked at Andrew, her expression openly appreciative. "Hi, I'm Gwendolyn. Marri neglected to mention you're completely gorgeous."
Andrew laughed and I blushed. He extended his hand and she shook it. "Nice to meet you. I'm Andrew."
The three of us grabbed the stuff from the trunk and went into the house. He looked a little nervous and I couldn't really blame him. My sister was one thing. My parents would be another.
"Marri!" my mother called and hurried down the stairs followed closely by my father. "Oh honey, we missed you so much!"
I hugged her first and then my dad before standing next to Andrew. "Mom, Dad, this is my boyfriend Andrew Birch."
My mother smiled, her own blue eyes sparkling, and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Sands," he said.
"Please, call me Caroline. And believe me, the pleasure is all mine. I told Marri all along if she'd just take her nose out of the books sometime she'd find a handsome young man. It's nice to see I was right."
"Thanks," he said, his ears a little pink. He let go of her hand and shook my dad's.
"Good to meet you, Andrew. And you can call me Ed."
"Hello, Ed."
I watched carefully as they stared at each other. My father wasn't a tall man by any means, only about five foot six, and his blond hair had turned shiny silver over the years, but he'd worked out every day of his adult life and was still very muscular. He was more than a little intimidating and had scared away his fair share of Gwen and my dates over the years.
Thank God Andrew didn't scare easily.
"How was the drive?" my mother asked, leading us into the living room. We all sat in the various chairs and sofas and I took Andrew's hand. I gave it a little squeeze to make him feel more comfortable.
"Not too bad," I told her. "We stopped about halfway for the night. That made it a lot easier."
My father's nostrils flared slightly but he didn't say anything. He knew I wasn't a virgin and hadn't been for years, but he still like to pretend. "Is everyone going to be able to make it tomorrow?" I asked, hoping to change the subject.
My mother's eyes lit up and I knew she was thrilled to have the whole family for Christmas Eve dinner. It had been a tradition for years. That way everyone got to spend Christmas day home if they wanted or with their own set of in-laws.
